(00:38):
we have to do work today. Yeah, we got work.
Today's kind of mine is a free period. It made
me for the first hour, but I have a stinking
suspicion you won't last that long before you get an
accident to report.

Speaker 5 (00:48):
I'll tell you what.

Speaker 6 (00:49):
Good morning, Jimmy, we've got I was able to drive
through the squeeze on the North Loop this morning and

be fairly easy. It looks like you're right in. Let's
check out the north Side North Lift six ten. Yup,
you're getting around full speed ahead South Loop. Man, it
is so nice to have those extra lanes at the
Southlip squeeze at two eighty eight.

Speaker 7 (01:42):
Good morning, Jimmy five oh one on k t RH
our top story.

Speaker 8 (01:46):
Multi cents. They're both from the US Citizen.

Speaker 9 (01:48):
I think you're gonna see isis affiliation on both of them.

Speaker 7 (01:51):
That is incoming borders our Tom Holman last night, as
the manhunt continues for conspirators after the New Orleans terror
attack yesterday, he killed fifteen.

Speaker 10 (02:01):
The FBI is says terrorist suspect to shamsu Din Jabbar
flew an ISIS flag on the back of the trunk
he was driving as he mowed down people celebrating the
New Year. He was killed in a shootout with the police.
Two officers injured. IEDs were found, with a search now
potentially nationwide for others involved in the attack. For now,
parts of Bourbon Street remain a blood stained crime scene

(02:24):
and closed to the public.

Speaker 7 (02:26):
Jeff Minosso reporting there, it took President Joe Biden fifteen
hours to address the nation after the attack, and then
he revealed a tie to ISIS that.

Speaker 11 (02:37):
Mere hours before the attack, he posted videos on social
media indicating that is inspired by ISIS espressly a desire
to kill.

Speaker 7 (02:47):
Jabbar was a native Texan who lived in the Houston
area and served in the US Army. The FBI, as
we mentioned, does not believe he acted alone. President elect
Donald Trump on truth So called the attack an active
quote pure evil, adding that the DOJ and FBI quote
spent all of their waking hours unlawfully attacking their political

(03:11):
opponent me rather than focus on protecting Americans, and lawmakers
are calling for the FBI to be upfront with Americans
about what they find out.

Speaker 12 (03:22):
I think what people want our candid answers. You don't
need a sugarcoat this. You know, if there's some uncomfortable
things we find along the way, let's get that information out.

Speaker 7 (03:32):
Louisiana Congressman Steve Scalise the Sugar Bowl was postponed because
of the attack. It will be played this afternoon. It's
now coming up on five oh four on KTRH. The
FBI is also investigating in North Harris County, where Jabbar lived.

Speaker 13 (03:49):
Paris County Sheriffs Office swat team is still out here.

Speaker 8 (03:53):
They have their armored vehicle.

Speaker 13 (03:55):
They still have this area blocked off. Our drone video
did capture a man and being taking into custody.

Speaker 7 (04:01):
Earlier, Reporter Corley Peel the investigation taking people in that neighborhood.

Speaker 5 (04:07):
By surprise.

Speaker 14 (04:08):
We go to my in laws quite often, so we
drive by this road every day, and you know, it's
crazy to think that he was in there. I just
plotting all of this, and you know people don't know
about it.

Speaker 7 (04:20):
That man with our TV partner Channel two, Texas Governor
Greg Avid weighing in on all of this, saying that
he stands with our neighbors in Louisiana and that he
has quote commanded DPS to get to the bottom of
it immediately, with a special focus to ensure that no
one in Texas faces any safety threat. It's now five

(04:42):
oh five on KTRH and New Orleans may not have
been the only terror incident inside the country. Yesterday. One
person was killed seven others were injured when a Tesla
cyber truck exploded outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas.

Speaker 15 (04:57):
The blast the Tesla cyber truck rocked so the Trump
International Hotel in Las Vegas, killing the driver. Mindful of
the attack in New Orleans, police have been searching for
potential secondary explosive devices Elon musk updating on x that
they've determined the explosives were in the bed of the
cyber truck and the explosion was unrelated to the vehicle,
which was a rental.

Speaker 7 (05:18):
That is Jack Callahan reporting there was also a shooting
at a New York City nightclub last night. Ten people
were injured, all of them are expected to survive. The
NYPD says this was not a terror related incident. And
here at home, John Whitmeyer completes his first year as mayor,

(05:38):
claiming that violent crime is going down, even though other
types of crime are actually getting worse, and this year
he'll have to work on a new deal for Houston's cops.

Speaker 16 (05:48):
He has promised to work with us on a new contract,
which we'll begin negotiations this year. You know, he wants
to make us comparable with Austin Fort Worth in Dallas,
so hopefully we can get there.

Speaker 7 (05:57):
Doug Griffith with the police officers. And as we told
you on Tuesday, Harris County's new DA is officially on
the job.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
Hi, Shawn Berry Tier I Sean Berry Tiers, do you
solemnly swear? Do solemnly swear I was faithfully execute the duties.

Speaker 9 (06:12):
Oh, faithfully execute the duties the office.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
Of Harris County District Attorney, the office of Harris County
and District.

Speaker 7 (06:19):
Attorney to your defeated Kim Auge the Democrat primary last
March and beat Dan Simon in the general election. There
is also a new sheriff in Galveston County. Jimmy Fullen
took off this New Year's Day despite media reports about
the status of his peace officer's license.

Speaker 17 (06:36):
There were some concerns earlier that his license could be
revoked by the state.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
I'm told by.

Speaker 18 (06:41):
The sheriff that he had received a letter from Keekole
or maybe as a phone call, saying that they're not
going to pursue this. That's about as definitive as you
can get.

Speaker 17 (06:49):
Galveston County Judge Mark Henry says Sheriff Fullen has already
begun filling vacancies in the Sheriff's department.

Speaker 18 (06:54):
We've had vacancies, some as many as ten years. As
he said, he's got filled already. It looks to me
like there is more than an eager law enforcement workforce
wanting to work for Jimmy Puller.

Speaker 17 (07:03):
Judge Henry says that the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement
never even contacted him about Fullon's license. Ethan Buchanan News
Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 7 (07:12):
It's now five oh seven. No issues to worry about
if you're traveling today. Literally fifteen flights delayed between both
Bobby and Bush. The Longhorn survive a scare from Arizona
State and the college football playoffs beating the Sun Devils
in Doubt Yesterday thirty nine to thirty one, recapping our
top story. The investigation continues, as does the man hunt

(07:35):
after yesterday's terror attack in New Orleans, which killed fifteen people.
A Houston man with an army background, shamshud Din Jabbar,
apparently carried out this attack. Isis inspired. The FBI is
looking for other suspects. I'm Cliff Saunders on Houston's news,
weather and traffic station News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
Now back to Jimmy Barrett and the Houston Morning Used Team,
Houston's Morning News five on eight.

Speaker 8 (08:03):
Is our time here in Houston's Morning News.

Speaker 4 (08:05):
Obviously, we'll spend a long time this morning talking about
what happened in New Orleans, what happened in Las Vegas,
the Houston connection to what happened in New Orleans, the
suspects that they're still looking for, all that stuff. It's
all morning long. But this somehow seemed appropriate to share too,
because one of the things that I don't begin to
understand about people who somehow get converted into supporting a

(08:28):
terrorist group like Isis of the Taliban, is what goes
into the thinking, what is it about these terrorist groups
that they find so appealing? The Taliban, who we left
in charge of Afghanistan is now banned windows in residential
buildings to stop women from being seen while they're at home.

(08:50):
The order applies to both new buildings and existing buildings.
Buildings should not have windows looking into places where a
woman could be sitting or standing. In other words, no
window coming into the kitchen, because, certainly in Afghanistan, cooking
is women's work. The decree posted by one of the

(09:15):
Talaman government spokespersons on X hang on they used X.
They used X states the new building should not have
windows where you can see the courtyard, kitchen, neighbors, well
or other places usually associated or used by women, because
and here's the rationale, seeing women working in kitchens, in

(09:39):
courtyards or collecting water from wells can lead to obscene X.
In other words, you've got a woman already dressed head
to toe in in a burka so that she can't
be seen. But just the fact that you know there's
a woman under there and she's at the well, could well,

(09:59):
you could You could lose it. You just might want
to grab her and kiss her right on the spot.
Of course, the Taliban is known for trying to erase women.
This here's another way to do it. Can't see them.
They're already not allowed to speak in public places, so
you can't hear them pretty soon they just won't exist
five ten time for traffic and weather together.

Speaker 6 (10:20):
See their Internet browser history the average Taliban guy.

Speaker 5 (10:24):
Wouldn't it be interesting to see what he looks at on.

Speaker 8 (10:26):
The It probably would, skuy Mike, what's going on?

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Dude?

Speaker 6 (10:30):
All right, I got ship channel bridges here. Let me
see if I can flip this quickly. It's one the
Fred Hartman Bridge, and we are going this time. Let's
go from Laporte northbound and go the Oh that one's out.

Speaker 5 (10:41):
Great, let's go. We'll go to the Baytown side. Look
at that. Here's the Missouri street shot.

Speaker 6 (10:45):
If you're playing the home game with me, hit camera
one three zero seven on the Transtar site. That to me,
that's the prettiest picture in the whole system. Baytown to Laporte.
Either way, we're looking good. Toll Bridge looks nice so
far as this morning. From I ten to two twenty
I have nothing to slow you down. Six ' ten
the Sherman Bridge from the Budplant down to two twenty five.

(11:05):
Everything's normal as far Some of you go on a
little above posted speeds, but we're in good shape. Around
The freeways are rocking this morning.

Speaker 5 (11:11):
You had to work this morning too. I was ready
to play hang Man Terry.

Speaker 6 (11:14):
I'm Skymike on the Generator Supercenter dot Com traffic Center.

Speaker 4 (11:17):
From r KTRH top tax Defenders twenty four hour where
the center Terry is here. She's going to forecast that
is very very normal, but it's going to get a
little unuseful. Yeah, a little un normal next week, a
little on the cold side.

Speaker 7 (11:30):
Uh yeah, a little on the arctic side.

Speaker 5 (11:32):
Let's call it what it is, good science word, what arctic? Yeah, arctic?

Speaker 7 (11:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 19 (11:39):
Well, yes, time to dig out the heavy gloves and
the coats and the sweaters ahead of this polar plunge
that's heading our way early next week, starting Monday, We're
going to be looking at temperatures at night in the
twenties and afternoon heighs in the forties for a couple

(11:59):
of days.

Speaker 7 (12:00):
Get ready.

Speaker 19 (12:00):
Right now, we're on the milder side where we should
be actually, and we may get some rain. Got to
mention that just a thirty percent chance of some showers
late in the day today load to mid sixties. How
nice that is. And tomorrow's dry and even warmer, mid
sixties to low seventies. There's a twenty percent chance of
a shower Saturday. Temperature Saturday upper sixties to low seventies.

(12:24):
Now here comes to the cold front with the rain
ahead of it, showers and storms a sixty percent chance
on Sunday, and the Arctic air behind it.

Speaker 7 (12:33):
Monday.

Speaker 19 (12:33):
The sun is shining, but it's not working very hard
because high temperatures Monday mid forties to mid fifties.

Speaker 4 (12:43):
Yikes, Yeah, you weren't joking all right. Temperature right now
forty six at your official severe weather station, News Radio
seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
It's Houston's Morning News, brought to you by New South
Windows Solutions. Now back to Jimmy Barris and the Houston
want to use team all the info you need to
take on the day.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
It is crazy how much information has come out in
the last twenty four hours about this semsud Den Jabbar,
forty two year old Houstonian, lives in Houston. They rated
his home yesterday, the FBI did in North Houston. How
much information has come out about him. You know where

(13:24):
he got the rental truck, what the rental truck was.
It was electric, So was the cyber truck that blew
up outside of a Trump hotel in Las Vegas, and
of course it's hard not to, you know, follow this
story and not kind of play amateur detective yourself trying
to figure out exactly what's going on here. The ICE's

(13:45):
flag in the back of the truck, I think pretty
much tells us what the motivation was. The question is
how did the guy get radicalized. We've got all sorts
of audio. We've got audio from Beaumont, he was born
and raised in Beaumont. Some of the people who went
to high school with there's still truck. Nicest guy, right,
just the nicest guy.

Speaker 8 (14:03):
We know.

Speaker 4 (14:03):
He has some personal troubles, divorced twice, the last wife
had a restraining order out on him. With all sorts
of things, all kinds of information, But the information that
I think that I gleaned yesterday is perhaps most important.
Gives us a real clue as far as whether or
not the FBI, the Department of Justice, the federal government

(14:26):
had any inkling about this guy, if he just slipped
through the cracks, or if they knew about him. I
think we got an inkling about that yesterday at the
press conference in New Orleans from Senator John Kennedy. I
think it's maybe the most important audio I heard yesterday,
and I heard a lot of audio, so I'm going
to share that with you. Coming up next, first though,

(14:47):
at five twenty, let's do a little traffic and whether
together's we check in again a skyline.

Speaker 5 (14:50):
Freeways we're rocking along for right now.

Speaker 8 (14:52):
Tell you what we do.

Speaker 6 (14:53):
Let's take a look at your terminal parking for the
airports as we wind down the holiday season. Here Terminal
cd Bush now sixty six percent full, so we look
we're okay for right now. Echo Park, the Echo Park
uncovered is getting there. It's about seventy eight percent full.
And then at Hobby on the Red Garage, we're looking
fifty percent full of Blue Garage fifty two.

Speaker 5 (15:14):
We're looking good. They're forget it.

Speaker 6 (15:15):
Echo Park they're still showing ninety nine percent full. Again,
the freeways are rocking. We'll check your west side advisors.
You're up next at the five point thirty reports Skymike
and the Generator Supercenter, dot Com traffic center.

Speaker 4 (15:26):
From r KTRH top tax Defenders, twenty four hour weather Center.
Partly cloudia this morning cloti for the afternoon slack tans
of a shower looks like about sixty two today tomorrow,
a couple of early showers, the mostly Claude hinders seventy
around seventy on Saturday, seventy four on Sunday. But then
the bottom drops out. Yeah, that the Bowler vortexan is
going to impact our weather starting on Monday. Temperature right

(15:47):
now is forty six at your officials, Severe Weather Station,
News Radio seven forty KTRH. Time to check out some
of our top stories on the Thursday morning. Here's Cliff,
Thanks Jimmy five twenty two.

Speaker 7 (15:58):
We're sponsored by Morrow Canical Police and the FBI searching
for as many as four accomplices after yesterday's terror attack
in New Orleans. President Joe Biden confirms the attacker was
inspired by ISIS and yet another Houston tie. Officials at
hisd's Waltrip High School confirmed that the school's marching band,
which was in New Orleans to perform at the Sugar Bowl,

(16:21):
nobody was hurt. Get the latest news anytime at KTRH
dot com. Our next updates at five point thirty.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Social media keeps me in the no.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
Good for you use doesn't care what KTRH keeps you
in form. There's a lot going on use radio seven
forty KTRH.

Speaker 4 (16:40):
All right, we all know what a festive party town
New Orleans is. It's amazing how many people are out
to three fifteen in the morning, isn't it. Uh? Even
I understand New Year's and all that, but still amazing
how many people are out there. I mean, I think
we've learned a lot about what the city did and
perhaps didn't and should have done as far as blocking

(17:02):
access to Bourbon Street, because this guy was able to
drive around the barriers that they had set up. But
as I said in the press conference, the first press
conference from yesterday around noontime, I think I think I
learned a lot about whether or not we can trust

(17:23):
our federal government to be on top of these types
of incidences, to be able to prevent some of these
incidents from happening. And I think we also learned a
lot about whether or not this current administration has any
interest in telling us the truth. And we learned that
from Senator John Kennedy. I want to share with you
what he said at that price conference yesterday. You have

(17:46):
to read between the lines of what he's saying, but
not by all that much.

Speaker 20 (17:51):
There's a lot of information going around. Some of it
is actually true, some of it isn't. The federal government
is now in charge of this investigation. By that, I
mean the White House, the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security,
and the Department of Justice. I have not talked to

(18:14):
the FBI. Maybe they've talked to my staff.

Speaker 8 (18:16):
I don't know.

Speaker 20 (18:18):
I did talk to the Secretary of Homeland Security a
little while ago, and I told him that, with all
the respect I could muster, that we expect to put
the full force and resources of.

Speaker 8 (18:35):
The federal government behind this investigation.

Speaker 20 (18:41):
Our state troopers, our local police departments, our sheriffs have
got miny sheriffes here today have been terrific. So far,
federal government is cooperating with them. I hope that will continue.
Here's what I want to ask from the federal government.
Catch these people, catch these people, and then tell the

(19:03):
American people the truth.

Speaker 8 (19:04):
Now, I don't want you to.

Speaker 20 (19:06):
Tell us yet anything that's going to interfere with your investigation.
And there are things that I've been told that I
think are true that I'm not sharing with you today
because it could interfere with their investigation. But after we
get to the bottom of this, they need to tell
the American people the truth, and the people in New
Orleans the truth, and the people of America the truth.

(19:29):
I think the mayor and the governor are very wise
to postpone this ballgame for twenty four hours. There's just
too much stuff we don't know, and it's just not
worth it. But I guess my final point is, I
will promise you this. I will, when it is appropriate

(19:51):
and this investigation is complete, you will find out what
happened and who was responsible, or I will raise fresh Hell.

Speaker 4 (20:02):
Wow, it's a pretty strong statement. I mean, that's what
he concentrated on. Makes it very clear that he doesn't
think that the current administration has been truthful about a
whole lot of things. Well, you and I know that
if you listen to the station, you know that. But
I mean he just called them out at a national

(20:23):
news conference. If you won't tell the truth that I will.
Is that what he's saying. I hope so, I hope so,
because we need to know the truth. Five twenty six
is our time here on Houston's Morning News. Time to
take a look at your money and a Thursday morning,
Here's Jeff Bellinger and Jimmy.

Speaker 21 (20:40):
Good morning, so far, Wall Street has not seen a
Santa Claus rally. Stocks off in post games in the

I'm Jimmy Barrett. Among our top stories this half hour,
the New Orleans suspects connection to Houston? Is there a
connection between what happened in New Orleans and what happened
in Las Vegas? And coming up at five thirty eight,
looks like there might be a volcano right off the
US coast getting ready to explode. Details in the minutes ahead.

(21:39):
You're in Houston's Morning News. First, let's check out that
morning Vibe with Skymine.

Speaker 5 (21:44):
Hey, I got something that's not even on the boards now.

Speaker 6 (21:46):
I don't know if they're trying to input this yet,
but Katie Freeway. I was just goofing around scanning three
three four Katie at Greenhouse. That is a tanker that's
over on the side. It's on the inbound and it
looks like we're going to take up a right lane.
I see the triangles. Be ready for it us. You're

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

(22:37):
Here's Cliff Saunders.

Speaker 5 (22:38):
Thank you very much. Tommy five thirty two on KGRH.

Speaker 23 (22:41):
It is just so sad that the world we live in,
this is what we are. Instead of party hats, we
got flashing lights and yellow crime scene teape.

Speaker 7 (22:49):
That's a relative of one of the victims of the
New Orleans terror attack. On our TV partner, Channel two.
Fifteen people killed when Sam shu Din Jabbar, a native
Texan living in North Harris County, drove a truck into
a crowd on Bourbon Street, shooting at the crowd, wounding
several officers. A manhunt underway for his accomplices. The FBI

(23:11):
is investigating Jabbar's home in North Harris County, spending most
of the day there yesterday, as a YouTube video Jabbar
posted in twenty twenty one went viral.

Speaker 24 (23:21):
I'm born and raised in Beaumont, Texas, and now live
in Houston. And I've been here all my life, with
the exception of traveling for the military, where I spent
ten years as a human resources specialist and IT specialist.

Speaker 7 (23:35):
A sharp contrast to videos posted by Jabbar on social
media just before the attack saying he was inspired by ISIS.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz reacting on social media, promising to
work with the quote Trump administration to hold accountable all
those who were involved, calling the attack at atrocity. In

(23:56):
the meantime, Senator John Corden posted that the civilized world
is quote stunned by the senseless attack in New Orleans.
It's now five thirty three. The FBI is being criticized
for their immediate response, claiming it was not a terror
attack right after the New Orleans mayor said it was.
Now they're looking for several people who may have helped

(24:18):
Jabbar carry this out.

Speaker 20 (24:20):
I want to be fair and work with them unless
give them a chance to catch these guys and just Dallas.

Speaker 8 (24:25):
One may have been a woman.

Speaker 7 (24:27):
Louisiana Senator John Kennedy there and President Joe Biden needed
fifteen hours before he addressed the American people about what happened.

Speaker 25 (24:36):
The President said his administration will work to get the
full story of what happened, why, and.

Speaker 11 (24:41):
Whether there's any continuing threat.

Speaker 25 (24:43):
And he'll share what they know when they know it.

Speaker 5 (24:46):
That's gernaald Scott. It's now five thirty four.

Speaker 7 (24:49):
The FBI is also investigating another potential terror attack in
Las Vegas, as a Tesla cyber truck exploded outside of
the Trump Hotel there, killing the driver injuring seven others.

Speaker 26 (25:03):
We do know the truck was rented in Colorado. We
were able to trace that truck through the Tesla's charging
stations and it arrived here in Las Vegas this morning
at about seven point thirty and went up and down
Las Vegas Boulevard before immediately pulling into the Trump Towers.

Speaker 7 (25:21):
That is Metro Police Department Sheriff Kevin mcmahill. And there
was also a shooting at a New York City nightclub
that has some concern about yet another attack.

Speaker 27 (25:31):
Police investigating a mass shooting that took place outside the
Amasura nightclub in Jamaica, Queens, New York, Wednesday night, gunshots
ringing out shortly before eleven thirty pm as a large
crowd of at least eighty people was seen leaving the club,
Witnesses reporting the gunmen fired indiscriminately into the crowd. The
NYPD says none of the injured is in critical condition,

(25:53):
all were expected to survive.

Speaker 7 (25:55):
There's no word on a motive.

Speaker 27 (25:57):
Police say a vehicle fled the scene, and they have
not made any arrests.

Speaker 7 (26:00):
According to reporters Shoe Gusman, the NYPD says this was
not terror related five point thirty five. Now, Congress returns
to work tomorrow, with the House potentially voting on a speaker.
President elect Donald Trump throwing his support behind incumbent Mike
Johnson on New Year's Eve.

Speaker 5 (26:17):
Will support Zwick and Jonson.

Speaker 21 (26:18):
I think we're going to have a great time in Washington,
and I think we're going to get great support.

Speaker 7 (26:23):
Some Republicans have said they'll vote against Johnson for working
with Democrats to avoid a government shutdown. At the border,
three illegal aliens arrested for allegedly killing a Mexican immigration
agent who simply asked them for their ID. The attack
just thirty miles away from the US Mexico border. Two
of those illegals were from Venezuela, the other from Colombia. Meantime,

(26:48):
the Trump deportation plans are hitting more resistance from south
of the border.

Speaker 28 (26:53):
Mexico is now launching an app to allow migrants in
the US to alert family or Mexican government officials if
they're about to be deported. Retired ICE agent Victor Ovula
says Mexico is only paying lip service to cooperating with
the US on immigration.

Speaker 29 (27:07):
They wanted to do anything and everything possible to just
slow down that process and kind of bog down the system,
to delay it, and to make it harder on the
Trump administration to do this.

Speaker 28 (27:19):
A senior Mexican official says they will ensure every Mexican
citizen gets due process in the US before being deported.
Corey Jolson New's Radio seven forty KTRH. The state had
the most population growth in the country last year. A
lot of that though due to the open border. Wrightebarts
bop prices. Two thirds of the ten million illegals entered
here in Texas. Let's put a big strain on water

(27:42):
and power systems.

Speaker 30 (27:42):
There were some talk two sessions ago about trying to
allocate some money to build more reservoirs and to move
water around and things like that, and it needs to
be a priority for this term.

Speaker 7 (27:53):
He does say it's unclear as to how many who
entered in Texas stayed in Texas. Five point thirty seven,
the long hornsbaed Arizona State and the college football playoffs
in doublet thirty nine to thirty one. The Rockets beat
the Mavericks one ten to one oh nine. Let me
make sure about that score once again. I apologize. I'll
get back to there on that. To recap our top story,

(28:15):
the FBI is looking for several people who may have
helped Sansha Jin Debar carry out the terror attack in
New Orleans that left at least fifteen dead and nearly
thirty five other people injured. A cyber truck explosion outside
the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas is also being looked
at as a terror incident. One person is dead, seven
other shirt. I'm Cloff Saunders on Houston's News whether in

(28:36):
traffic station kgrh.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
More with Jimmy Barrett and the Houston Morning News teams.

Speaker 8 (28:43):
This is Houston's Morning News. Did you know that.

Speaker 4 (28:48):
There's an underwater volcano off the northwestern US coast not
that far from Seattle. I had no idea till I
saw this story. The volcano has the name. It's called
Axial Seamount. It is more than three thousand, six hundred
feet pall and sits half a mile underwater, just three

(29:10):
hundred miles off the coast of Oregon. Scientists are saying
that it looks like it's getting ready to blow. Hey hey, what, Yes,
it looks like it might be getting ready to blow.
They made the prediction a couple of weeks ago after
detecting seafloor swelling around Axial that mimicked a level seen

(29:33):
immediately before an eruption that occurred in twenty fifteen. I
didn't realize they had an eruption of that volcano in
twenty fifteen. Seismic activity has also increased, with hundreds of
earthquakes generated around the volcano per day and the earthquake
swarms greater than five hundred per day. Based on the
current trends and the assumption that Axial will be primed

(29:55):
to erupt when it reaches its inflation threshold that it
had in twenty fIF the current eruption forecast window is
between July, but actually between now and the end of
twenty twenty five, likely to blow sometime this year. Now,
the question is how much does it blow and does

(30:17):
it create tidal waves or other problems for the West Coast. Fortunately,
eruptions from it posed little threat to people and infrastructure
on the West Coast. We're sold told rather because largely
it's a shield volcano, which generally does not have very
explosive eruptions. So if it does what it usually does,
everything will be fine. If it doesn't, Bye bye five

(30:40):
forty time for traffic and whether is it again?

Speaker 8 (30:41):
Get a little.

Speaker 6 (30:42):
Warmer, you can actually be able to swim out there
to be more comfortable.

Speaker 8 (30:45):
Maybe Skymike, that might be right, Carrie.

Speaker 5 (30:47):
Does that show up on your megadoppler? If it goes off?
Will you be able to see that the ball?

Speaker 7 (30:51):
We can see, we can see the plume.

Speaker 5 (30:54):
Oh oh, that's cool, the ash.

Speaker 8 (30:56):
Let's go.

Speaker 6 (30:57):
Let's go back to our Katie Freeway. Let me hit
this cam right here. I found this, and I forgot
to tell the rest of the media. Sorry, Katie Freeway
at Greenhouse, you've got a stalled tanker that's on the
inbound and that's gonna be uh let's call that a
right lane now as you're coming over from Mason Road.

Speaker 5 (31:12):
Let's just watch out. Give them some room there.

Speaker 6 (31:14):
I don't even have a supercized ninja on it yet,
and I don't know if he's hazardous or not. Terry,
if you are, he would be heading toward the Loop
six tenth on the northwest side here Cyprus into the
west Loop here two ninety looks good. Eighteen minutes in
your West Park Tollway rocking along. And look at the
Southwest Freeway again from Great Wood all the way up

(31:35):
good shape into the canyon. I don't even have to
slow down now at the Downtown split, so it's kind
of like a holiday. Jimmy, what were you doing when
Mount Saint Helens went off? What were you doing?

Speaker 31 (31:43):
Now?

Speaker 4 (31:45):
You know you have no idea what I was doing
that It was in world history entire I remember that
summer though, that I was living in Michigan, and that
summer look like July and August.

Speaker 8 (31:53):
We had eyes in the sixties.

Speaker 5 (31:55):
That's crazy.

Speaker 8 (31:56):
Wow, it was cold.

Speaker 5 (31:57):
What are you doing, Terry sleeping? You didn't have a
Mega doc player yet.

Speaker 6 (32:03):
I'm in the Generator Supercenter dot Com Traffic Center.

Speaker 4 (32:05):
Well, she's awake this morning, thanking this for our KTRH
Generator super Center in twenty four hour weather center. We
really don't need any help. I mean, ash and the
sky can cool things off even more than north of
it does because it blocks the sun. We don't need
any of that.

Speaker 19 (32:18):
Next week, Derek, no, no, no, no, Arctic Care is
going to be taking care of that. Yeah, it's spent
interesting watching this next system and some.

Speaker 7 (32:27):
Of the details with it.

Speaker 8 (32:28):
For us.

Speaker 19 (32:29):
The fact that we're only getting cold air is a
good thing. At least for now. It looks like it's
going to be a quiet stretch, so that's good.

Speaker 4 (32:37):
Now.

Speaker 19 (32:37):
We could get a little bit of rain later today,
but the temperatures are what they're supposed to be doing
in January. We have a thirty percent chance of some showers.
Any rain will be light. Temperatures today, load of mid sixties.
Tomorrow's dry, some sunshine Tomorrow, mid sixties to low seventies
in the afternoon. It stays mild Saturday and Sunday. Saturd

(33:00):
we have a twenty percent chance of somemarine Sunday.

Speaker 7 (33:03):
That's when the cold front starts to head our direction.

Speaker 19 (33:05):
So we've got a sixty percent chance of showers and
storms on Sunday. Our temperatures actually will be in the
load of mid seventies and then a twenty degree drump
in temperatures Monday. It's sunny, but Hi's only mid forties
to mid fifties.

Speaker 4 (33:23):
Yeah, but you're right now forty seven at your official
severe weather station, News Radio seven forty KTRH five forty
eight is a time here in Houston's morning news, Beaumont
is the place of birth of the man acused of
running over all those people and shooting at police in

(33:43):
New Orleans. He was born there, he was raised there,
he'd lived in Houston. We'll get into all that in
just a second. Here more of what we have learned
about about this guy. We're gonna be talking with FBI
Special agent and Navy Seal Jonathan Gilliam in just a
few minutes, but first we're here. There's Raymond Royo last
night on box. He's a New Orleans resident. He wonders

(34:04):
if there's a connection not just to January first, as
being the new year, but also to the Catholic religion.
As far as the motivation.

Speaker 31 (34:12):
Here the French Quarter, I know for many visitors it's
a place of frolic It's a place you go to
drink and have a good time. For those of us
who live here, it's where we celebrate family occasions.

Speaker 8 (34:23):
It's where we worship.

Speaker 31 (34:24):
The cathedral is the center of town, and something that's
been lost.

Speaker 8 (34:27):
In today's coverage, Jason.

Speaker 31 (34:29):
Those IEDs that were placed by either this terrorist who
drove down Bourbon Street or his four or five accomplices.
We don't know exactly who they are how many or
how they related, but someone apparently three men and a
woman planted IEDs. They planted them between cop cars, and
they planted them near the cathedral.

Speaker 8 (34:51):
That is a classic hallmark.

Speaker 31 (34:53):
For Isis as they conduct their terrorist brees all over
the world, whether it's Germany or Nigeria, blowing up churches
in the Philippines.

Speaker 8 (35:01):
And everyone should take note.

Speaker 31 (35:03):
Today was not just any day for many Catholics in
New Orleans.

Speaker 8 (35:07):
It's a feast day, a.

Speaker 31 (35:08):
Day of obligation where everybody goes, comes together and goes
to Mass. So whoever was planning this clearly knew or
had some semblance of understanding that this was a holy
day and Catholics would be assembling, maybe at this oldest
place of worship in the city of New Orleans, the Cathedral.
And I just I think we need to refocus on

(35:31):
the terror that ISIS and Islamic radicals posed to us
all over the West, throughout the West, not only in
the United States.

Speaker 4 (35:39):
But you and you know a lot on social media.
This guy was posting a lot of stuff on social
media that should have been red flags. Time for a
little traffic and weather together before we get to our guest. Guy, Mike,

(36:32):

Speaker 7 (36:34):
Here's Cliff, Thank you, Jimmy sponsored by Morrow Mechanical. The
FBI continues its investigation of the New Orleans attacker in
North Harris County. They're also looking into the cyber truck
explosion in Vegas as a potential terror attach and the
Sugar Bowl between Notre Dame and Georgia will be played
today after being postponed yesterday. Get the latest news anytime

Speaker 4 (37:07):
Days in the New Year.

Speaker 1 (37:08):
US Radio seven forty KRH.

Speaker 4 (37:12):
All right, so we're trying to get as much insight
into not only what happened in New Orleans, why it happened,
who's responsible for it? Are there more suspects out there?
What do some of the clues tell us about where
we should be going with this investigation? Joining us as
FBI Special Agent and Navy Seal Jonathan Gilliam, Jonathan, Welcome
to the show. Let's start with the electric vehicles. What

(37:34):
do you make because this was true not only in
New Orleans, but also the attack outside of a Trump
hotel in Las Vegas. They both had electric vehicles and
they both came from the same car rental app.

Speaker 32 (37:48):
That's very interesting that car rental app is relatively obscure.
I mean, I don't know anybody that knows about that app.
So I think it's kind of a unique group that
knows about it and uses it because it's an app
where you can rent somebody else's vehicle basically and have
it delivered, or you can go pick it up or

(38:08):
pick the keys up in a lock box. So it's
it's very almost anonymous in a lot of ways. So
that's very interesting. The fact that they were both electrical vehicles.
I mean, for people who are going to drive that distance.
The only reason why I would think, if you're going
to drive that far in both cases, the one came
from Colorado with to Vegas and one came from Houston

(38:28):
that went to New Orleans, that's a lot of work
to get an electronic vehicle that far. So perhaps they
chose those because they are heavier, and perhaps they know
that if they're ignited they will burn as well. Other
than that, I don't really know why they would choose those,
except maybe they were environmentally conscious terrasts I don't know,

(38:50):
or very interesting.

Speaker 4 (38:51):
They're very quiet too, so maybe in the case of
New Orleans, maybe if you're trying to sneak up on
a crowd of people, you don't want an engine revving, right,
do you want it to be quiet?

Speaker 32 (38:59):
It's very true, but that's actually a tactic.

Speaker 8 (39:02):
That's very true.

Speaker 32 (39:03):
But the similarities in the vehicles is and how they
were rented is very intriguing from an investigator standpoint.

Speaker 4 (39:13):
They obviously are looking for more people because they have,
at least on video, they have three or four people
who helped plant these IEDs. As far as you know,
none of them went off, at least not in New Orleans,
although there was a report that maybe that one of
them might have gone off in an Airbnb that had
been rented by this guy. But for the most part,
none of them went off. I don't know if they

(39:34):
were intended to, or how crudely they were made, or
how well they were made, but clearly he intended to
inflict more damage than the damage he did.

Speaker 32 (39:46):
Right, And I'm hearing conflicting reports. Last night, I was
hearing that that those people were actually that the three
people had mentioned, the one woman and two men were
actually vetted out and were there. They just were or
they were there but they weren't part of it. The
walking by. I don't know if that's true or not,
but what they so, they were eager to point that out,
but they didn't put out in the fact that the

(40:07):
bags were still left by somebody. So either that guy
did it himself, which they did not confirm, or there's
other terrorists that are walking around New Orleans quite potentially
right now.

Speaker 4 (40:18):
I don't know if you caught the press conference the
twelve noon or press confidence yesterday that Senator John Kennedy
was at, but I found Senator Kennedy's comments very revealing
in a very dark sort of way. It's very clear
to me that he does not think the Biden administration
knows what the hell they're doing. It also is very

(40:40):
clear to me that he thinks that the FBI either
did or should have known about this guy and what
he was planning to do, and that he intends to
make sure the truth comes out, because it sounds like
he doesn't think the truth is anywhere near coming out yet.

Speaker 32 (40:55):
You know, I have great respect for Senator Kennedy. He
has words like nobody else, that's for sure. I would
rather have seen him give his own press conference because
that was potentially next to the Madison, Wisconsin brief after
the school shooting several weeks ago. That was yesterday, possibly
one of the worst briefings I've ever seen. You did

(41:16):
not come away from it with any more information than
you went in. And they bragged about how safe New
Orleans is after a terrorist attack had just occurred, and
so that made no sense. It was a lot of
political egos, a lot of what looked to me to
be DEI hires that are in our DEI promotions and

(41:39):
people that are clearly not the experts in their field
by their answers. And then you know, even the governor
was defensive because people were pressing for answers. That's what
the media does. I thought it was horrible, And now
you transposed that with the press conference that happened in Vegas.
Amazing press conference, the right people's they give the information

(42:01):
they had and it was crystal clear. So there was
two totally different press conferences. And you can see in
New Orleans how these things are able to occur because
they're incompetent in a lot of ways.

Speaker 4 (42:17):
Well, obviously they're going to have a lot of work
to do. They've got a Super Bowl coming, they've got
the Sugar Bowl tonight, they have a super Bowl coming,
so they've got a lot of work to do between now and.

Speaker 8 (42:24):
Then don't they.

Speaker 32 (42:25):
Yeah, Oh, absolutely. And the JTTF, you know, the FBI
in charge means that the JTTF is in charge, which
is a conglomerate of all these different state, local, and
federal agencies, and so they can work all over the
United States collecting information and bring in manpower and resources
that wouldn't typically be available.

Speaker 5 (42:45):
So that is very good.

Speaker 32 (42:47):
That is a good part of the FBI, and it's good.

Speaker 8 (42:49):
That they're on this.

(44:38):
the news. Here's Cliff Saunders.

Speaker 7 (44:40):
Thank you very much, Jimmy six ZH two on KTRH.
We're sponsored by the Oak Harvest Financial Group. Our top story,
the manhunt continues for those that worked with the Houston
man behind the New Orleans terror attack that left at
least fifteen people dead.

Speaker 33 (44:54):
We really don't have very much information about them at
this time. We had some information this morning that led
us to believe that there were multiple individuals who were
involved and replacing those IDs.

Speaker 7 (45:09):
Louisiana Attorney General Liz marl Our neighbors to the east
are under a state of emergency. The attacker identified as
sam should In Jabbar, born in Texas, living in North
Harris County, with an extensive military background. President Joe Biden
waited fifteen hours to talk to the country and then
said Jabbar, in the hours before the attack, posted videos

(45:32):
to social media saying he was inspired by ISIS.

Speaker 11 (45:35):
The FBI is any investigation to determine what happened, why
it happened, where, there was any continuing threat to public safety.

Speaker 7 (45:44):
And keep in mind, the FBI originally said this was
not terrorism right after the New Orleans mayor said it
was putting pressure on the bureau to be straight with Americans.

Speaker 29 (45:54):
There are a lot of unanswered questions, but transparency is
really important and for the American.

Speaker 1 (45:59):
People, you know, well, if you see something, say something.

Speaker 7 (46:02):
That is retired CIAgent Dan Hoffman on Fox on Truth
Social President elect Donald Trump called the attack pure evil,
adding while you were asleep that the DOJ and FBI
spent more time attacking their political opponent rather than protecting Americans.
Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry says the White House has been

(46:23):
helping them try to put this all together.

Speaker 34 (46:25):
Those resources are twofold. One to continue in complete this
investigation as quickly as we can and get the public
dancewers that they're looking for. And two to again secure
the city as we put on a sugar Bowl.

Speaker 7 (46:39):
Yeah, that Sugar Bowl between Georgia and Notre Dame will
be played this afternoon. It was postponed yesterday. New Orleans
will also be hosting the Super Bowl in February six
four on KTRH, the FBI continues its investigation. In North
Harris County, where Jabbar lived.

Speaker 35 (46:55):
FBI swat team and local police have surrounded a house
that is in some way connected to this terror attacks
in New Orleans. We don't know if this is their home,
but we do know that they did live there in
the Houston area. At some point, we are told that
police had been going house to house in that neighborhood
to clear out everyone who lives nearby.

Speaker 7 (47:16):
Garatiny reporting residents in that neighborhood stunned by everything that's
been going on.

Speaker 36 (47:22):
My buddy over here called me. He's like, hey, did
you hear about it. I'm like, yeah, I heard about it,
and he told me yeah, like all of Hugh Groat
is blocked up. I was like, there's no way. He's like, yeah,
they're correlating it with what happened in New Orleans.

Speaker 7 (47:34):
That man with our TV partner Channel two on social media,
Texas Governor Greg Abbott said he stands with our neighbors
in Louisiana, commanding DPS to get to the quote bottom
of it immediately. Six oh five on KTRH, potential terrorism
yesterday in Las Vegas, as well as a cyber truck
in front of the Trump Hotel blows up, killing one,

(47:56):
wounding seven.

Speaker 37 (47:57):
Elon Musk posted on x We've now con that the
explosion was caused by very large fireworks and or a
bomb carried in the bed of the rented cyber truck,
and is unrelated to the vehicle itself. All vehicle telemetry
was positive at the time of the explosion. Law enforcement
is investigating a number of leads, but didn't have many
specific details to share. However, sources telling Fox News the

(48:19):
vehicle was seen on surveillance camera driving past the valet
section an hour prior to the incident.

Speaker 7 (48:25):
Mary Anne Rafferty reporting police in New York claimed that
a nightclub shooting last night is not terror related, but
ten people were injured. Six h six on KTRH Here
at home. John Whitmeyer finishes his first year as mayor,
So how has he done on his promise to make
the city of Houston safer?

Speaker 17 (48:43):
The numbers say that we have seen some improvement, but
there's still work to do.

Speaker 7 (48:46):
I believe we have.

Speaker 16 (48:47):
Seen improvements in violent crime. We still have a large
issue with our property crimes are burglary crimes.

Speaker 17 (48:55):
Griffith with the Houston Police Officers Union says Whitmeyer's efforts
to work with other agencies have helped.

Speaker 16 (49:00):
There's thirty seven smaller agencies. We did the Sey limits
of Houston. This is one of the first times when
everybody gets on the same pace.

Speaker 7 (49:06):
Hey, we're stronger if we work together.

Speaker 17 (49:08):
Griffith says he's hopeful for twenty twenty five because HPD
will be getting a new, hopefully higher pain contract with
the city. Ethan Buchannan News Radio seven forty kright.

Speaker 25 (49:17):
Thank you.

Speaker 5 (49:17):
Ethan.

Speaker 7 (49:17):
Harris County's new DA officially is on the job. Sean
Tier was sworn in early Wednesday morning. Several media outlets
raised questions about the peace officer license of the new
Galveston County Sheriff, Jimmy Fullan, but those turned out to
be overblown.

Speaker 18 (49:34):
I don't honestly know what the mistakes are. I was
told theyre relatively minor. As far as I know, it's
wrapped up and complete, and they tend to pursue no
further action against the sheriff.

Speaker 7 (49:42):
And Galveston County Judge Mark Henry also told KTRH that
the sheriff has begun to fill several of the twenty
one vacancies inside the department. If you're heading to the
airport this morning, we've got eight delays out of Bush
with one cancelation, twelve delayed flights out of Hobby. The
Longhorns beat Arizona State in the college football playoffs thirty

(50:03):
nine to thirty one. And recapping our top story. The
FBI continues to search for other suspects in the investigation
into the New Orleans terror attack. That attack killed at
least fifteen injured thirty five. A Houston man with an
army background apparently carried this out inspired by isis. I'm
Cliff Saunders on Houston's News weather in traffic station KTRH.

Speaker 3 (50:28):
Stay in touch on your drive in with Jimmy Barrett
and the Houston Morning News Team six.

Speaker 8 (50:36):
I'll wait to talk time here in Houston's Morning News.

Speaker 4 (50:38):
Boarding passes hand me my boarding pass might not be
doing that in the next five years, or certainly by
the end while that would be about five years the
end of this decade, at least that's the prediction from
Tony Douglas. He's the chief executive of re odd Air.
They are the world's biggest airline, at least the biggest

(51:00):
New airline to launch in this century. He says that
even phone based boarding passes will all be disappeared by
the year twenty thirty. Hang on, no paper boarding pass
and no boarding pass on your smartphone, well, how the
hell are you going to get on board the plane?
He said that will be replaced by biometric scans such

(51:23):
as fingerprints, face scans, and irises. He also said that
apps will become the sole booking option. So if you
want to book a flight on United, you have to
go to the United app and book it there. You
won't be able to go to a travel agent. How
are travel agents going to do this? I guess they
can get their own app right. Fiscal plane tickets and

(51:45):
boarding passes have been in decline since the turn of
the millennium as airlines have moved towards digital alternatives. Papers
still exist. So for grandma, you know, we had my
wife's mom, my mother in law, flew here from Detroit
for for Christmas. And you know, she's eight, like eighty
eight years old. She still wants she still wants to
have a paper warning pass. She needs to hold that

(52:07):
in her hand. She doesn't. I don't think older people
don't feel confident enough and their ability to you know,
to find that thing on their phone. They're afraid it's
going to disappear on them and then they're going to
try to show it to you know, security or whatever,
and they're not gonna be able to get their hands
on it, and that scares the bejeebers out of them.
But I think just about everybody else is going electronic

(52:29):
with this stuff anyway. But no voting pass on your phone.
Are you ready to cebmit your fingerprints or an iris
scan or some other biometric thing in order to be
able to fly six ' ten time for traffic and
whether or together.

Speaker 5 (52:43):
Not comfortable with stuff on my phone either.

Speaker 8 (52:46):
A lot of people feel that way.

Speaker 6 (52:47):
They if they send you a ticket, you know, just
put it on your phone, you know. No, I don't
trust my knowledge of phone enough to get through the
gate here.

Speaker 5 (52:54):
Let's go.

Speaker 32 (52:55):
Oh.

Speaker 6 (52:55):
I did tell the pretty ladies on TV about the
Heartmembridge northbound and looks up. The state has it too.
That's a right lane. It's a stall. It's not a
big thing coming up from laport Just watch out. I
think the Ninjas may pick up an extra lane trying
to get up from Laporte to Baytown. And also we're
getting a lot of good camera shots of this Katie Greenhouse.
It's an eighteen wheeler. It's a tanker truck. I don't

(53:17):
know what he's carrying. I don't know if he's hazardous
or not. But he's inbound at Greenhouse. I think Tammy's
gonna go fly over that shortly. And what else do
we have? Oh, we still have the roadworks munch that
is on the north sam Alden Westfield westbound left lane
eastbound at Imperial Valley and the text dot wall of.

Speaker 8 (53:33):

We have Terry Smith's standing by. She's keeping an eye
on the thermometer and getting ready for it to just
kind of fall off the edge of the earth here
throwing on Monday.

Speaker 7 (54:14):
That's kind of the way it feels. Yeah, Temperatures will
be about twenty degrees colder than what we got going
on over the weekend.

Speaker 19 (54:23):
Really overall, it's a pretty nice stretch of weather for
the rest of this week. Today's typical January, and given
what's coming our way next week, I'll take typical January.

Speaker 7 (54:34):
We may run into submarine though.

Speaker 19 (54:35):
A thirty percent chance of showers today, low to mid
sixties this afternoon. Tomorrow's dry, mid sixties to low seventies,
and Saturday there's only a twenty percent chance you'll get wet.
Temperatures will be close to seventy on Saturday. The big
change starts on Sunday. Col front on the way, there's
a sixty percent chance of showers and some storms. We

(54:57):
may be dealing with some rough weather. We'll be keeping
an eye on that. And then Monday, all of that
clears out because the cold air invades. We've got sunshine
and high temperatures Monday in the mid forties to mid fifties.

Speaker 3 (55:19):
You're starting your day right with Houston's Morning News, brought
to you by New South Windows Solutions.

Speaker 4 (55:25):
So our television partner KPRC two ISS sent reporter Gauge
Goulding to the Crescent City for doing some reporting duties
there the day after the terrorist attack. We will talk
with him next. First though, traffic and weather together, starting
with U Skymike, all right.

Speaker 5 (55:39):

dropped the temperatures like crazy. Right now forty seven at

(56:18):
your official severe weather station, News Radio seven forty k TRH.
We're checking out some of our top stories this morning
from our newsroom. Here's Cliff, Thank you, Jimmy, sponsored by
Morrow Mechanical. The FBI is looking for as many as
four other people that could be connected to the New
Orleans terror attack. President Joe Biden confirmed it was inspired
by ISIS and is shooting in New York wounding ten

(56:41):
is not terrorism, according to police there. Get the latest
news anytime at KTRH dot com. Our next update at
six thirty.

Speaker 5 (56:50):
I live in Southeast Houston.

Speaker 3 (56:52):
Your forecast is at the bottom of the hour on
seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 4 (56:58):
All right, New Orleans is a party town. Is the
festive place they were getting ready for the Sugar Bowl. Yes,
they ended up postponing that until today after an ISIS
inspired terrorist attack done by Houston man. That was a
little bit shocking to find that out. Joining us from
KPRC too, our television partner is reporter Gauge Goulding. He
is in the Crescent City Gage. I saw a report

(57:19):
from you earlier on KPRC too. It looked like you
were near Bourbon Street anyway, and i'd see that the
police stape is still up. So is that still closed?

Speaker 39 (57:28):
Yeah, hey, Jimmy, good morning.

Speaker 8 (57:30):
We are right.

Speaker 39 (57:31):
I mean we are right on Bourbon Street. We're being
held off actual Bourbon Street proper if you will, but
I mean it's fifteen feet away. As they continue to
clean up. The police stape is physically gone, as they've
come through this area in the last hour and picked
up all the pieces, all the confetti and all that,
and taken down all the police tape as well. But
they're still holding us back. There are barricades up for

(57:53):
as far as the I could see. The only reason
we're so close because we just happened to be staying
at the hotel right next door.

Speaker 8 (57:58):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (58:00):
One of the reports that we're getting mixed news on,
and maybe you can help clode this up for us,
is the report the cliff just had about three or
four possible additional suspects. We had a guest, a former
FBI special agent on with us about half an hour
or so ago. He said he had heard that maybe
they might have just been people were in the wrong
place at the wrong time that we're passing by. Have
you heard anything more about the potential for more suspects

(58:23):
in this attack?

Speaker 32 (58:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 39 (58:25):
I think as these things develop, it it takes time,
and time is the key thing there, because they change.

Speaker 31 (58:33):
You know.

Speaker 39 (58:33):
The first press conference they gave, the FBI said this
wasn'tn active tear. A couple hours later, they're saying this
was an active terror. They are still going with the
notion that Jabbar did not act alone, that they had
help in some way, shape or form. I know that
they were looking at residences here in New Orleans at
that Airbnb, but also in the Houston area there was

(58:55):
a massive spot situation that was connected to this situation.
So I think they're they're trying to flush out all
their angles, if you will. They're trying to see, you know,
who is truly innocent, who is truly just in the
wrong place, wrong time, or just happens to be related
and those that are you know, potentially involved in this.
You know, there is reports that I think the New

(59:16):
Yeork's New York Times excuse me, had it that there
was reports that you know, the last year or so,
he started becoming very radical as he you know, transitioned
to the Islamic belief and you know, family members started
kind of pushing him away. So I would imagine that
those folks are going to be having lengthy discussions with
the FPI, But that doesn't necessarily mean that they're involved

(59:37):
in this, even though they might be to the same
roof for you know, share family ties.

Speaker 4 (59:41):
Gage Gouldings with US is reporter KPRC to our television
partner here in Houston. As we learn more about this guy,
it would appear he was he was troubled, He had
two ex wives, had some financial problems and some issues,
and as you alluded to, his social media postings became
more and more threatening over the course of time. Is

(01:00:03):
are we going to end up looking at this and
our police officials is going to end up looking at
this and say, here's here's another guy that slipped through
the cracks that we should have known something about and
done something about. You know, I spoke with forensic studies
expert out of Florida Gulf Coast University, doctor David Thomaschestraight.
He's a veteran law enforcement expert with dozens of years

(01:00:23):
on the forest, so very very very intelligent man. And
I asked, unless, I say, you know, how does something
like this happen in twenty twenty four, in the age
of technology and the age of surveillance that we know
about and all the stuff that we don't know about.

Speaker 8 (01:00:36):
As regular US citizens? I said, how did this happen?

Speaker 39 (01:00:39):
And he said, you know, those federal agents are gonna
be asking the same thing, not only you know New
Orleans police, the locals here that you know, physically let
this happen, physically let somebody slip past the barricades, but
also on the federal level too, Right, How did the FBI?
How did Homeland Security not practice person obviously something the
ball was dropped somewhere. I'm not pointing blame, right, and

(01:01:02):
I don't think he was either, But I think there's
a going to be a significant, you know, investigation into
that is, how did this happen? And you know, what
can what can we do to look at it in
the future. And the one thing that was really interesting
to me he said, you know he you know, Thomas,
he hated to admit it, but he said, you know,
there are probably thousands of people just like this living
in the United States right now is just trying to

(01:01:23):
find them. And it's impossible to survey every single piece technology,
every single person. That just would be a daunting task.

Speaker 4 (01:01:29):
Yeah, pretty possible to prevent it all, that's for sure. Gage,
thanks for your time. The sporting sure do appreciate it.
That's reporter Gage Goulding from KPRC too, joining us. It's
six twenty six. It is time to take a look
at your money. Jeff Bellinger is here and Jimmy here
we go again.

Speaker 21 (01:01:44):
Doc workers are once again threatening to strike at East
Coast and Gulf Coast ports. The International Longshoreman's Association one
generous pay concessions from the United States Maritime Alliance after
a three day walkout in October, but the issue of
all threatening the jobs some dock workers was not resolved,
and union leaders now threaten another strike to begin in

(01:02:06):
two weeks. Source to say the two sides planned to
resume contract talks on Tuesday. Stock market futures point to
an early rally on Wall Street. I'm Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg

Six thirty is our time here in Houston's Morning News.
I'm Jimmy Barrett. Among our top stories this f hour,
the New Orleans suspects connections to Houston? Is there a
connection between what happened in New Orleans and Las Vegas?
And coming up at six thirty eighth, the Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court worried about political interference. Details in
the minutes ahead here in Houston's Morning News. First, we're

(01:03:00):
checking out the morning drive again with the sky Mike.

Speaker 6 (01:03:02):
Katie Freeway inbound at Greenhouse. This is becoming a smash
now you have that disabled tanker. I don't know if
he's hazardous or not, but we'll take up. Let's call
it too right lanes. Watch out from Maine and I'm
seeing people having to hit the brakes now losing a
couple of minutes. Go ahead and stay the course east. Sam,
you were the first to know about the power lines down.
It is in the feeder road southbound at ce King Parkway.

Speaker 5 (01:03:23):

R KTRH Generator Supercenter, twenty four hour weather Center. Part
of the cloudy this morning. More clouds for the afternoon
with a slight shower chance in a high temperature of
sixty four. Look at Terry Smith in here with the
long range forecast including a big, big hold snap coming
for next week. We'll talk to her in nine minutes
right now, forty seven at your official severe weather station,
News Radio seven forty KTRH. It's time now for the news.

(01:03:55):
Here's Cliff Saunders.

Speaker 5 (01:03:56):
Thank you, Jimmy. It's coming up on six thirty two
in our top.

Speaker 12 (01:03:59):
Store, looked around and people had just started bolting, you know,
every which way.

Speaker 7 (01:04:07):
That witness of the New Orleans terror attack that killed
at least fifteen people talking to our TV partner Channel two,
the FBI this morning. He is looking for as many
as four other people that helped Sam should Ding Jabbar
pull this off. He may have made those IEDs that
were involved in this at a nearby a Airbnb. He's

(01:04:28):
a native Texan living in North Harris County. He drove
into the crowd, started shooting, and during several police officers.
Jabbar also allegedly said he was inspired by ISIS and
had an ISIS flag with his pickup truck. Now that
was Jabbar in the hours before the attack. In twenty
twenty one, on a YouTube video, he promoted himself as

(01:04:51):
a real estate agent and talked about his military sales.

Speaker 24 (01:04:54):
Learn as a meaning of great service and what it
means to be responsive and take everything seriously, aiding eyes
and crossing t's to make sure that things go off
without a hitch.

Speaker 7 (01:05:03):
Jabar spent ten years plus in the Army. On truth
social rather on Twitter or ex Senator John Cornyn posted
that the quote civilized world is stunned by the senseless attack.
Senator Ted Cruz called it an atrocity six thirty three. Now,
originally the FBI refused to even call this terrorism.

Speaker 32 (01:05:24):
That was yesterday possibly one of the worst briefings I've
ever seen. You did not come away from it with
any more information than you went in. And they bragged
about how safe New Orleans is after a terrorist attack.
Had just occurred.

Speaker 7 (01:05:41):
That was former Navy sealed and retired FBI Special agent
Jonathan Gilliam with Jimmy on Houston's Morning News earlier this morning.

Speaker 5 (01:05:49):
And where was Joe Biden when all of this took place.

Speaker 40 (01:05:52):
President Biden is at Camp David. He received updates today
from the heads of the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI,
the Department of Justice, intelligence agencies, other advisors to get
the latest piece of information.

Speaker 8 (01:06:04):
Anger and frustration.

Speaker 40 (01:06:05):
The President refused to comment further, pointing to an earlier
statement which says, my heart goes out to the victims
and their families who were simply trying to celebrate the holiday.
There is no justification for violence of any kind, and
we will not tolerate any attack on any of our
nation's communities.

Speaker 7 (01:06:19):
David Spunt of Fox six point thirty four now, the
FBI is also looking at the testless cyber truck explosion
outside of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas as terrorism.
It killed the driver and injured seven others.

Speaker 38 (01:06:32):
Something like this happened in the city, and it has
an effect on our people here in the community. So
we recognize that and we're here to do everything that
we can to support this investigation.

Speaker 5 (01:06:43):
Special Agent in Charge Jeremy Schwartz.

Speaker 7 (01:06:46):
There was a shooting last night at a New York
City nightclub that had some concern about more terrorism three to.

Speaker 6 (01:06:53):
Four males than open fire over thirty times in the
direction of the group standing outside the event space, striking
multiple victims.

Speaker 7 (01:07:02):
The NYPD's Philip Rivera there. Ten people were heard. Police
adamant that this was not terrorism. It's now six thirty five.
Even though President elect Trump supports him, Mike Johnson may
not retain his speakership when the House votes tomorrow.

Speaker 41 (01:07:18):
Despite an endorsement from President elect Trump, some Republicans have
not committed to supporting Speaker Johnson on the House floor.
Congressman Tim Burchett of Tennessee hasn't made his decision yet,
but tells Fox News he thinks the endorsement will get
Johnson over the finish line.

Speaker 1 (01:07:35):
I think that the diet has been cast pretty much.

Speaker 41 (01:07:38):
Johnson can only afford to lose two Republicans to get
the votes needed to become speaker. Kentucky's Thomas Massey has
indicated he's still a no. The House will vote for
a speaker on Friday. In Washington, Ryan Schmells Fox News.

Speaker 5 (01:07:53):
Thank you Ryan.

Speaker 7 (01:07:54):
Three illegal aliens arrested for allegedly killing a Mexican immigration
agent who asked for their ideas. The attack just thirty
miles away from the southern border. Mexico is also pushing
back on President elect Trump's planned mass deportations, launching an
app allowing illegals in the US to contact family or
a consulate if they're about to be deported. Retired ICE

(01:08:18):
agent Victor Auberlass says, when it comes to the border,
Mexico is our frenemy.

Speaker 29 (01:08:23):
We'd certainly need that cooperation from Mexico, but all indications
until this point is really them pushing back. You know,
they say one thing to him, but then actually do
something different, especially with any type of policies.

Speaker 7 (01:08:35):
Trump pass threat and new tariffs on Mexico if they
don't play ball with US on border security. Well, Texas
gained the most population last year, but illegal immigration played
a big part of it.

Speaker 8 (01:08:46):
Two thirds of the eight to ten million illegals this
year came across the border here in Texas.

Speaker 30 (01:08:52):
That's certainly a contributing factor to the increases in population
and the consequential problems that we'll be having with.

Speaker 8 (01:08:58):
That, Bright Bart's Bob Ice says the legislature has plenty
to address in January. One of the biggest is the
strain this influx is putting on our resources.

Speaker 30 (01:09:07):
There's gonna be an increasing demand on water supply, electricity,
natural gas.

Speaker 8 (01:09:12):
He says. There's been talk about preserving those resources other ways,
but nothing ever came to fruition. Andre Perard, News Radio
seven forty kt RH.

Speaker 7 (01:09:21):
Thank you, Andre, Now six thirty seven. UT beats Arizona
State in the College football playoffs, thirty nine to thirty one.
They'll play Ohio State in the semi finals. The Rockets
beat the Mavericks one, ten to ninety nine, recapping our lead.
The FBI continues to hunt for several people who may
have helped shamshud Ding Jabbar carry out the terror attack

(01:09:42):
in New Orleans again fifteen dead, thirty five others hurt. Elsewhere,
a cyber truck explosion outside the Trump Hotel in Las
Vegas killed one seven others were hurt.

Speaker 5 (01:09:52):
That too, is being looked at as terrorism.

Speaker 7 (01:09:55):
I'm Cliff Saunders on Houston's news, weather and traffic station,
News Radio seven forty KRH.

Speaker 8 (01:10:02):
Houston's morning news continues with Jimmy Barrett.

Speaker 4 (01:10:07):
At least one member of the Supremes, John Roberts, is
evidently concerned about the Court being ignored. Let's put it
that way. Interesting timing on this story. The Daily Mail,
which is a liberal publication. I get funny information from
liberal publications. I'm just more than happy to take the
liberal out of it, had a story. Here's the headline

(01:10:31):
of the story, Supreme Court Justice Roberts issues warning ahead
of Trump White House, which what makes it sound like, Oh,
they're worried that Trump's going to come in and circumvent
the court. Listen, Donald Trump is not going to circumvent
the Supreme Court. The Biden administration did plenty of times.

(01:10:52):
My question would be, where's John Roberts been up until now?
Why did he wait until now to issue this concern
because the Bide administration routinely ignores the Supreme Court in
other federal courts that rule against them, if they get
ruled against, they ignore. It's like the student loan program.
He just keeps, you know, the student loan forgiveness keeps

(01:11:13):
coming back and back and back and back. Even though
Supreme courts are you told them you can't do that.
They don't care. Here's what John Roberts said his annual
report on the Federal Jujiciary, which was released on Tuesday.
He argued that the United States must maintain quote judicial independence.
He says, it's not in the nature of judicial work
to make everybody happy. Most cases have a winner and

(01:11:36):
a loser. Every administration suffers defeats in the court system,
sometimes in cases with major ramifications for executive or legislative
power or other consequential topics. Nevertheless, for the past several decades,
the decisions of the court popular or not, have been followed,
and the nation has avoided standoffs that plagued the nineteen
fifties and sixties.

Speaker 8 (01:11:57):
Those were mainly civil rights cases. He went on to say.

Speaker 4 (01:12:01):
Within the past few years, however, elected officials from across
the political spectrum have raised the specter of openly disregarding
Cord rulings, and he's hoping that that will not continue.
I can almost assure him that there will be more
following of Supreme Court rulings under a Trump administration than
it was during the Biden administration. Six forty. Time for

(01:12:22):
traffic and weather together as we check out the drive
again with the skyline I.

Speaker 6 (01:12:25):
Thought we were just gonna goof around this morning, Jimmy.
But know the East Sam Houston Toaway. So Tammy from
TV just texted me.

Speaker 5 (01:12:32):
She's like, well s, Mike, I'm hitting for the East
Sam Houston Toaway. Cee King's supposed to be some kind
of accent, you know, because she talks like that. Terry southbound.

Speaker 6 (01:12:39):
I filled her in, who is that the Taska seta
chuck found at first it's East Sam southbound ce King Parkway.
Apparently someone had a wreck and ran into a utility poll.
Now we've got down lines the whole feeders shut down
mainlanes and I should have said that in the last report. Mainlanes.
You're zipping by free maybe a little rebernecking. There's a
lot of flashy lights here. Check on my Ktie Freeway

(01:13:01):
stall tanker truck that's greenhouse clear it. Oh, way out
of there. We're a little thick now in from Mason Road.
But the Katie Freeway is a good route this morning.
Hartmembridge looks like they've cleared that stall that was northbound,
took up a right line, never really caused any suckage.
And oh Monty from sugar Lands on my Facebook page.
I'm super easy to find. By the way, he's in Rosenberg.

(01:13:22):
He doesn't know if he's going up or down the
Southwest Freeway, but if you're going in, you've got an
easy ride Monty all the way northbound up into the canyon.
We'll update the northwest side at the six fifty report
in the Classic Buick GMC Traffic Center.

Speaker 4 (01:13:35):
From r KTRH Generator super Center twenty four hour. Whether
senter Terry Smith is standing by. This would be a
good weekend. If you have a fireplace in your house,
this would be a good weekend to flip the switch
and make sure that things still works because you're gonna
need all available to eat sources next week.

Speaker 7 (01:13:48):
You know, that's a good idea.

Speaker 19 (01:13:51):
Get some of that fire, would make sure it's well cured,
because you don't want to try to start a fire
with something that's still a little green. And whatever warm
clothes you can dig out, you're gonna need them, and
you'll likely need them for a couple of days. I
think at least through midweek we'll be dealing with some
Arctic air, and that Arctic air shows up Sunday night Monday, so.

Speaker 7 (01:14:11):
You know when the kids are going back to school,
they're gonna need to be bundle up too.

Speaker 19 (01:14:15):
So until Monday, temperatures are fine. We have a thirty
percent chance of some rain today, showers, load of mid
sixties today. Tomorrow a dry day and temperatures mid sixties
to low seventies. Saturday there's a twenty percent chance of
rain and heights near seventy and Sunday that's when the
front starts to head our way, so there's a sixty

(01:14:37):
percent chance of thunderstorms.

Speaker 7 (01:14:39):
Load of mid seventies on Sunday, and then Monday. It's sunny,
but it's cold, mid forties to mid fifties right now
for high temperatures.

Speaker 4 (01:14:48):
Monday temperature currently forty seven at your official severe weather station,

You are commute, you are forecast. Your news is Houston's
More News, brought to you. Buying new Southway, those solutions
six fifties our time ker in Houston's Party News. We're
learning a lot about the samsud Din Jabbar, forty two
year old man born in Beaumont, lived here in North Houston,
employed by Deloitte, which is an accounting firm, evidently was

(01:15:18):
involved in real estate that didn't go so well, married
in divorce twice at a restraining order at least in
one of those. I mean, we've learned a lot about
him in a very very short period of time. But
what about him in Beaumont?

Speaker 4 (01:15:33):
Is there anything from his Beaumont, Texas background that we
give us an idea of what could eventually happen. We'll
share a CBS News report on that coming up next. First, though,
traffic and weather together, starting with you, skuy Mike.

Speaker 6 (01:15:44):
All right, Jimmy, I've got a hazard to watch out for.
This is North Freeway. I want everybody be super duper
careful if you're on the piers elevated and you're heading
up toward the north side, or if you're on it
in coming from the Baytown side trying to get.

Speaker 5 (01:15:57):
Up to the north side. This is a stall.

Speaker 6 (01:15:59):
He's in a stick spot. It's right there the beautiful
North Street bridge. It's the North Freeway outbound northbound, right
under North Street before you get to North Maine. There's
a stall. He's sitting in that left lane. It's right
where it just pares down to the textalk.

Speaker 5 (01:16:13):
Wall of death.

Speaker 6 (01:16:13):
Plus you've got that curve. It's tough to see, so
look out coming out of downtown. This one won't be
a problem if you're on the mainlanes, but east Sam
southbound the feeder road shut down. That's an accident at
ce King they're putting you through parking lots. The feeder
itself is completely closed. I'm skymik in the classic view

I live in clear Lake, Humble, reliable KTRH traffic and weather.

Speaker 8 (01:17:32):
Next on the ten.

Speaker 4 (01:17:35):
You know then, yeah, the song is called nineteen eighty
two at Beaumont, Texas. This Jabbar guy, this Sam Suddin
Jabbar guy was born in nineteen eighty two in Beaumont,
Texas a little bit of an irony there. So let's
let's let's share what we've learned about him. When you start,

(01:17:55):
when you start trying to dissect what happens to a
person who goes from being completely normal to being a
radical terrorist, you tried to figure out, well, what happened
and when did it happen? So, of course went to
Beaumont because he was born and raised there and went
to high school there. Started looking for old high school buddies,
and they ran into a view who described what he
was like. This is a report from the CBS News.

Speaker 42 (01:18:16):
Well, we've learned quite a bit. In fact, there's a
lengthy YouTube video of him from twenty twenty where he's
describing his work as a real estate agent. He talks
about spending ten years in the military working in it.
Officials confirmed he was in the army. He grew up
he was born in Beaumont, Texas, and grew up there.
He was a resident of Houston, Texas. I mean, in

(01:18:37):
that video you see him wearing a button down shirt
with a jacket, looking like a professional person, describing his
career in a very articulate, coherent to manner, And it's
just hard to reconcile the individual that carried out the
attack with that. With that man such different profiles, you

(01:18:59):
would think.

Speaker 43 (01:18:59):
We have any information on what may have been going
on in his life at the time, anything, well, we
made her personal relationship or finances.

Speaker 42 (01:19:06):
Absolutely so. He was married twice. In his second divorce,
he filed for divorce in twenty twenty. It took a
couple of years to resolve, and during those proceedings he
talks about not being able to pay for the home.
His former wife filed a restraining order against him to
protect her and their child or children, and that was

(01:19:27):
actually granted. So clearly his life was starting to unravel
after that video that we see from him in twenty twenty.
You know, in the in recent years things started to
go downhill. He had financial troubles. He also had sort
of small run ins with the law, driving without a
driver's license, theft on his record. So he does have
a record. It's not major crimes, it's not violent crimes,

(01:19:50):
but he does have a record. And we're now piecing
all of this together. We're trying to build a profile.
The New York Times is reporting that he was a
recent convert to Islam, so we're working on that.

Speaker 43 (01:20:03):
And we know that there was an isis flag on
the trailer hitch of the rented truck rented through Teruro
rented in Texas, that's right driven to Louisiana. We know
that there was at least one improvised explosive device in
the vehicle, more placed around the French quarter. So what
do we know about the fact that authorities definitively said
at the press conference today they don't believe he acted solely,

(01:20:24):
that he was not solely responsible.

Speaker 42 (01:20:26):
Well, our sources tell us there is a video. There
is video capturing multiple other people, four other people who
potentially help them, that investigators believe were accomplices and they are.
Sources described to us that they were dragging the improvised
explosive devices.

Speaker 5 (01:20:44):
To place them.

Speaker 42 (01:20:45):
So we don't know exactly where that is, but we
know that there were several placed in the French Quarter.
There also were devices or parts of devices, precursors as
our sources called them, inside an air B and B
in the Rock neighborhood of New Orleans, where we saw

(01:21:06):
there was quite a bit of activity. In fact, our
producer down there she said that there was she heard
an explosion at the house.

Speaker 4 (01:21:13):
So so much going on, Yep, more going I mean,
we learn more every hour, it seems the information coming
in fast and furious. We know everything, but except why
why they couldn't stop it. It's six fifty six. You're

the east sam southbound. That's a feeder road. Somebody crashed
into a poll. We were the first to know about it.
Of course, the feeders completely shut down. Main lanes don't
even care. No suckage at all. That from that on
the Hartmembridge northbound, we still have that pesky stall sitting
in the right lane. I thought he was clear. No,

(01:22:41):

The FBI ISIS terror suspect to shamsu Din Jabbar, flew
an ISIS flag on the back of the truck he
was driving as he mowed down people celebrating the New Year.
He was killed in a shootout with the police. Two
officers injured. IEDs were found, with a search now potentially
nationwide for others involved in the attack. For now, parts

(01:23:59):
of Bourbon's Street remain a blood stained crime scene and
closed to the public.

Speaker 5 (01:24:05):
That's Jeff Banasso reporting.

Speaker 7 (01:24:06):
According to reports, the IEDs were put together by Jabbar
at a nearby Airbnb.

Speaker 5 (01:24:12):
Police are still combing through the crime scene.

Speaker 39 (01:24:15):
They're still holding us back. There are barricades up for
as far as the I could see. The only reason
we're so close because we just happened to be staying
at the hotel right next door.

Speaker 7 (01:24:24):
That's reporter Gage Golden with our TV partner Channel two
on Houston's Morning News in New Orleans. Well, it took
President Joe Biden's some fifteen hours to address the country
after the attack.

Speaker 11 (01:24:35):
The mere hours before the attack, he posted videos on
social media indicating that is inspired by ISIS, especially a
desire to kill.

Speaker 7 (01:24:46):
Jabbar was a native Texan who lived in the Houston
area and served in the Army. President elect Donald Trump
on truth social calling the attack and act of pure evil.
Lawmakers want the FBI to be up front about the investigation.

Speaker 12 (01:25:00):
I think what people want our candid answers. You don't
need a sugarcoat this. You know, if there's some uncomfortable
things we find along the way, let's get that information out.

Louisiana Congressman Steve Scalise. The Sugar Bawl was postponed yesterday
because of the attack, so Notre Dame and Georgia played

saying there was no arrest. The investigation taking people in
that neighborhood. By surprise.

Speaker 14 (01:25:51):
We go to my in laws quite often, so we
drive by this road every day, and you know, it's
crazy to take that he was in there. I'm just
plotting all of this, and you know, people don't know
about it.

Speaker 7 (01:26:03):
And Texas Governor Greg Abbott on social media says he
has ordered DPS to get to the bottom of this
with a special focus to quote ensure that no one

Trump Hotel in Las Vegas.

Speaker 15 (01:26:29):
Blast and a Tesla cybertruck rocked to the Trump International
Hotel in Las Vegas, killing the driver mindful of the attack.
In New Orleans, police have been searching for potential secondary
explosive devices. Elon musk updating on X that they've determined
the explosives were in the bed of the cyber truck
and the explosion was unrelated to the vehicle, which was
a rental Fox's Jack Callahan.

Speaker 7 (01:26:51):
There was also a shooting in a New York City
nightclub last night. Ten people were injured. They're all expected
to survive. Police say that this was not terrorism. Seven

Speaker 16 (01:27:15):

to make us comparable with Austin fort Worth in Dallas,
so hopefully we can get there.

Doug Griffith with the Police Officers Union joins Jimmy at
seven twenty. As we told you on Tuesday, Parris County's
new DA is officially on the job. Sean Tier defeated
Kim Ogg in the primary last March. He beat Dan
Simon in the general election in November, and there's a
new sheriff in Galveston County, Jimmy Fullanjake's office New Year's Day.

(01:27:47):
Despite the media reports about his peace officer's license.

Speaker 17 (01:27:50):
There were some concerns earlier that his license could be
revoked by the state.

Speaker 1 (01:27:54):
I'm told by the.

Speaker 18 (01:27:55):
Sheriff that he had received a letter from Keikole or
maybe as a phone call, saying that they're not going
to pursue this. So that's about as definitive as you
can get.

Speaker 17 (01:28:03):
Galveston County Judge Mark Henry says Sheriff Fullen has already
begun filling vacancies in the Sheriff's department.

Speaker 18 (01:28:08):
We've had vacancies, some as many as ten years, as
he says, he's got filled already. It looks to me
like there is more than an eager law Enforcement workforce
wanting to work for Jimmy Fuller.

Speaker 17 (01:28:17):
Judge Henry says that the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement
never even contacted him about Fullon's license. Ethan Buchanan News

Speaker 5 (01:29:14):
On the day news in the morning, weather and traffick.

Speaker 4 (01:29:17):
This is Houston's Morning News with Jimmy Barrett. I think
we've all had a soul crushing job at some point
in our careers, right. I guess my only soul crushing
job was when I was a teenager in my very
very very very very very did I say, very very
very brief stints as a short order cook at an

(01:29:40):
A and W drive in where I proved that I
was not good at multitasking, you know, doing more than
one thing at once.

Speaker 8 (01:29:51):
Yeah, I did. Yeah, it didn't.

Speaker 4 (01:29:53):
I think I last on their job two days, and
I'm surprised they even brought me back on the second day.
To be honest with you, that was and that demoralized me,
the fact that I couldn't seem to, you know, get
my act together to do that particular job. But there
are people who are adults, not teenagers, who work at
soul crushing jobs. So I saw this list, I thought, Okay,

(01:30:13):
thet see what they considered to be the most sole
crushing jobs in America. Number one on the list. Call
center representative, Oh, I couldn't agree more. That's why I
try very very hard, if I can, to not be
mean when I get a call from a call center
in those rare occasions, I do because I realized that

(01:30:36):
nobody could possibly look forward to doing that job. They're
just doing it to make money and it's the best
they can come up with. Although I will say this,
the only time recently I've gotten not mad but chastise
somebody calling from a call center was on Christmas Day.
I got a phone call on Christmas Day from whoever

(01:30:59):
is representing this heating and cooling company that I had
just had some work done with, and they're calling to
see if I'm satisfied, and I'm going you know, you
know it's Christmas, right, yes, Merry Christmas. No, you know
you shouldn't be calling me on Christmas. I don't want
to fill out a survey. I don't want you to
ask many questions about how the heating and cooling company

(01:31:22):
did on Christmas. Why wouldn't you call me tomorrow? Instead?
Just went right over their head. Fast food worker made
the list. Retail associate because again they have to put
up with a lot of customer complaints. Taxi and ride
share driver made the list of soul crushing jobs interesting

(01:31:43):
Uber eats delivery driver, a warehouse worker, medical assistant. What
saying that medical assistants often work long hours, deal with
demanding patients, and juggle administrative tasks all at once. Is
that really that's hard work, It's difficult work. But isn't

(01:32:03):
there something reporting about doing that in the medical field?

Speaker 8 (01:32:06):
Huh?

Speaker 4 (01:32:07):
Number eight on the list janitor, number line, customer service
representative of you. I think you can put that in
the same categories as you know, call center worker, a
number time, a number ten. He's social media manager. Good
news is I don't see news talk host or traffic
reporter anywhere on this list. Traffic and weather together, Sky Michael.

(01:32:30):
Most soul crushing job you ever had in your life.

Speaker 6 (01:32:33):
I was the guy that picked up the loose bowling
pins that flew. You know, sometimes that bowling pins fly
out of the thing and I had.

Speaker 5 (01:32:39):
To go pick it up. Maybe, but everybody would yo,
run run at me. It was so humiliating.

Speaker 6 (01:32:45):
And then I delivered pizza and Dylan Dayton, I've had
kind of a soul crushing career on the side. Here,
let's get let's get busy and get to work on
the North Sam. Now you've got this North Sam eastbound
at Imperial Valley.

Speaker 5 (01:32:58):
So far we're getting through that.

Speaker 6 (01:32:59):
That's not cause any suckage coming over from Green's Point
over toward the airport. If you're going from Bush the
other way, of course, you have that roadwork at Aldan Westfield.

Speaker 5 (01:33:08):
You're in a scutch there, maybe an extra three or
four minutes.

Speaker 6 (01:33:10):
It's not completely soul crushing, but it is some suckage
going that way back toward Greens Point. The big deal
on the map right now is the East Sam but
it's not really messing up the mainlines.

Speaker 5 (01:33:19):
The feeders shut down at ce King.

Speaker 6 (01:33:22):
I got some air support there and that's power lines
down caused by that and something on the Katie Freeway.

Speaker 5 (01:33:27):
Let me assume that real quick.

Speaker 6 (01:33:28):

Unfortunately, like several days a very cold Arctic care. That
Arctic care will be showing up sometimes Sunday night and
then into Monday and Tuesday, it'll start to warm up
a little bit, but I'd expect at least through Wednesday,

(01:34:11):
temperatures to be running ten to twenty degrees below average.
What's average sixty four? That's average, all right, So today's
not about day. Today's average. I like average right now.
Thirty percent chance of some showers today and temperature's load
of mid sixties.

Speaker 7 (01:34:31):
Tomorrow's a dry day, mid sixties to low seventies.

Speaker 19 (01:34:34):
Saturday of twenty percent chance of getting wet and highs
around seventy Sunday that's when we see the rain. There's

Speaker 4 (01:35:13):
You know, a couple of things you have to think
about with what happened in New Orleans, especially given the
fact that the person responsible was living here in North Houston.
Is you know he could have done something like that here.
I mean, we've had major events here before. He could
have waited and done something here in Houston. And not
that I would wish upon New Orleans instead of Houston,

(01:35:33):
but are we prepared? Would we be prepared next time
we host a national championship game or Bowl game? Would
we have been prepared for what happened? We'll talk to
the president of the Houston Police Officer's Uniamed Doug Griffith

Speaker 4 (01:37:08):
Seven two or time here on the Houston's Morning News. Yeah,
what if what happened in New Orleans were to happen here?
How prepared would we be? How concerned is the Houston
Police Department? How prepared is the Houston Police Department to
handle something like this? Doug Griffiths joins us, President of
the Houston Police Officers Union. You know, I feel like
it's a little bit of a wake up call for us, Doug,

(01:37:29):
when when we found out that this guy is, you know,
from Beaumont originally and lives lives in North Houston, he
could have very easily done what he did here instead
of doing it in New Orleans.

Speaker 9 (01:37:39):
Absolutely, when you have clowns like this that that just
have no regard for anyone else except themselves, then you're
going to have incidents like this. I would like that
they were extremely prepared. I know, I'll work a lot
of these events that we have downtown. We placed dump
trucks in front of certain areas, you have police cars,

(01:38:01):
we have everything possible. The issue is that we have
these people that are hell bent on doing as much
destruction as possible, and you can't think of every single scenario.
They can circumvent things like you wouldn't believe because their
mind doesn't think like the average person, and so it
is very difficult when you have such a big event

(01:38:24):
to prepare for every single contingency. I'm sure that they
haven't had any issues like this in New Orleans and
weren't expecting this MdeR drop up on the sidewalk, And
I'm not exactly sure how you prevent that other than
putting another police car.

Speaker 8 (01:38:39):
On the sidewalk.

Speaker 9 (01:38:40):
But it's often difficult, depending upon you know, what the
intersection looks like to completely one percent full proof.

Speaker 4 (01:38:49):
Yeah, Well, they had a lot of barricades that I
would call the old school barricades, you know, the red
and white stripes, and they're made out of wood, and
if you want to break through them, that's pretty easy
to break through them. I know that they had supposedly
were getting upgrades that they were going to have or
supposed to have in place and time for the super Bowl,
because that's obviously a huge event. You know, clearly they

(01:39:10):
weren't ready, at least they weren't ready yet.

Speaker 7 (01:39:13):
Well, you got to.

Speaker 9 (01:39:14):
Think Burber Streets. You know, we don't have anything like
Bourbon Street here. Berber Street's one of those places where
everybody's always in the street walking around, you have very
little traffic at those Some of those ballards that they
put up.

Speaker 7 (01:39:27):
There are nice, and people cannot drive in that area.

Speaker 32 (01:39:31):
Now.

Speaker 9 (01:39:32):
I don't understand how they were broke or how they
were you know, what was going on with those, but
I do know that that that is usually a very
secure locatient and for him to be able to stircummit
that it.

Speaker 5 (01:39:44):
Took a lie.

Speaker 4 (01:39:45):
Yeah, does what are called hard targets and what are
called soft targets and soft targets I guess for terrorists
is something that they don't think there's a big enough
presence there in order to deter them from trying to
commit the act that they commit. You know, I've only
been I would have to say, other than you know,
obviously Astros games. The only big event I've been to

(01:40:05):
here in Houston was the National Championship College football game
last year, and I'm trying to remember back. I mean,
there was a good sized police presence, but there was
nothing there that I could see that would it would
prevent me if I were a terrorist from driving in
right next day NRGY and detonating something and killing thousands
of people.

Speaker 44 (01:40:26):
Well, the road itself is as close as you're going
to be able to get n RG when you go
to a football game. A lot of people don't even
pay attention, but they have big blocks, cement blocks that
they put in place so that people cannot get through.
The only thing that's going to get through there is
like one of these little polaris or something like that.
So they harden every single target that we have in Houston.

(01:40:49):
We have events in twenty twenty six. They're already planning
for the World Cup. So understand, they plan these events
years in advance. They know they're coming, so they do
everything they can. The problem is these you know, radicalized
individuals will find ways to go around that, and we

(01:41:11):
just have to try to think of every scenario. It's tough,
but if you've got someone that's going to drop a
roder truck full of explosives down right next to a building,
you do your best to shield that building. But understand,
there's still ways that these people come up with to
try to hurt someone.

Speaker 4 (01:41:29):
Yeah, in the under the best of circumstances, you know,
there's always a way around most of the fortifications. You're right, Doug,
Thank you was always appreciated. President of the Houston Police
Officers Union, Doug Griffith, seven twenty six. Time to take
a look at your money.

Speaker 21 (01:41:42):
Here's Jeff Ellinger and Jimmy Apple agreed to pay ninety
five million dollars to settle a class action to charge
the company with the privacy violations. Plaintiffs were all Serie
users who claimed the voice assistant violated their rights to
privacy because human listeners reviewed customer recordings. A federal judge
still has to approve that settlement. Stock market futures point

(01:42:04):
to a rally to start the new year. Now, futures
up two hundred and eighty points. I'm Jeff Beldinger, Bloomberg
Business on News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 5 (01:42:17):
NO Houston's News.

Speaker 22 (01:42:18):
Why there are traffic plus Breaking News twenty four to seven.
This is News Radio seven forty KTRH VEL.

Speaker 5 (01:42:26):
Everywhere with.

Speaker 3 (01:42:28):
More of what's happening now from the John Morris Services Studios.

Speaker 4 (01:42:32):
It's seven thirty here in Houston's morning News. I'm Jimmy Barrett.
Among our top stories this half hour, the New Orleans
suspects connections to Houston. Is there a connection between what
happened in New Orleans and what happened in Las Vegas
and coming up at seven thirty eight, Ohio State's quarterback
denied entry to the postgame celebration. Details in the minutes ahead.

(01:42:54):
You're in Houston's Morning News. First, let's check out that
morning drive once again with Skymike.

Speaker 6 (01:42:58):
You're supposed to have a wreck on the kd F
Freeway silber on the outbound I'm not seeing it.

Speaker 5 (01:43:02):
I think they're just a little like clearing it up
on the boards.

Speaker 6 (01:43:04):
But outbound we're actually moving full speed ahead inbound easy
twenty six minutes and the big news story this morning.
As far as traffic is the East Sam at ce
King Parkway, there's an accent with the utility poles.

Speaker 5 (01:43:17):
Lines are down, feeders shut down. Main lanes are just fine.
I'm Skymike on a classic Buick GMC Traffic Center from.

Speaker 4 (01:43:23):
Our KTRH Generator super Center twenty four hour weather center
for today, we're looking at part of the cloudy skyes
this morning, more clouds for the afternoon, slight shower chance
with the high temperature about sixty four, He's going to
get cold next week, below freezing for many of us,
or most of us. We'll have more in that story
when we talk to Terry Smith in about nine minutes
at the Weather channel. Right now forty eight at your officials,

(01:43:45):
severe weather station, News Radio seven forty k TRH. Time
to check out some of our top stories. Well, let's
just do all of our top stories. Here's Clossaunders.

Speaker 5 (01:43:53):
Thank you very much.

Speaker 7 (01:43:54):
Jimmy appreciate that seven thirty one on KTRH.

Speaker 1 (01:43:58):
Is just so sad that the will we live in.

Speaker 23 (01:44:00):
This is what we are instead of party hats without
flashing lights and yellow crime scene tape.

Speaker 7 (01:44:05):
That is a relative of one of the victims of
the New Orleans terror attacked on our TV partner Channel two.
Fifteen people were killed when Samson Den Jabbar, a native
Texan that lived in North Harris County, drove his truck
into a crowd on Bourbon Street shot at the crowd,
wounding several officers. A manhunt underway for potential accomplices because

(01:44:28):
the FBI does not think he worked alone. The FBI
is also investigating Jabbar's home in North Harris County as
a YouTube video he posted in twenty twenty one goes viral.

Speaker 24 (01:44:39):
I'm born and raised in Beaumont, Texas and now live
in Houston, and I've been here all my life, with
the exception of traveling for the military, where I spent
ten years as a human resources specialist and IT specialist.

Speaker 7 (01:44:52):
In the hours before the attack, Jabbar posted to social
media saying he was inspired by ISIS. Texas Senator Ted
Cruz reacting on social media calling it an atrocity, while
John Cornyn posted that quote, the civilized world is stunned
by the senseless attach seven thirty three on KTRH. The

(01:45:13):
FBI is being criticized for their immediate response in New Orleans.
Remember they said it wasn't terrorism, literally moments after the
New Orleans mayor said it was. Now they're looking for
several people who may have helped Jabbar.

Speaker 8 (01:45:28):
I want to be fair and work with them.

Speaker 20 (01:45:30):
Un Let's give them a chance to catch these guys
and just Dallas.

Speaker 8 (01:45:33):
One may have been a woman.

Speaker 7 (01:45:35):
Louisiana Senator John Kennedy on Fox House Speaker and Louisiana
Congressman Mike Johnson also calling for justice.

Speaker 45 (01:45:42):
This act of pure evil, as President Trump said, is
exactly right, a vicious attack on innocent Americans celebrating New
Year's Everyone involved in this needs to be brought swiftly
to justice, and I have some confidence that our federal
and state partners are working on that right now.

Speaker 7 (01:45:57):
Johnson on Fox and Friends Last Hour. And then there's
President Joe Biden, who needed fifteen hours to talk about
this to the American people.

Speaker 25 (01:46:06):
The President said his administration will work to get the
full story of what happened, why, and.

Speaker 11 (01:46:12):
Whether there's any continuing threat.

Speaker 25 (01:46:14):
And he'll share what they know when they know it.

Speaker 7 (01:46:17):
Jernald Scott reporting, it's now seven thirty four. The FBI
investigating another possible terrorist incident as a testless cyber truck
exploded outside of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas. The
driver was killed, seven others were hurt.

Speaker 5 (01:46:32):
We do know the truck was rented in Colorado.

Speaker 26 (01:46:35):
We were able to trace that truck through the Tesla's
charging stations and it arrived here in Las Vegas this
morning at about seven point thirty and went up and
down Las Vegas Boulevard before immediately pulling into the Trump Towers.

Speaker 7 (01:46:50):
Las Vegas Metro Police Department Sheriff Kevin mcmahell. And then
there was also a shooting in New York City at
a nightclub in some concern that was error.

Speaker 27 (01:47:00):
Police investigating a mass shooting that took place outside the
Amasura nightclub in Jamaica, Queens, New York, Wednesday night, gunshots
ringing out shortly before eleven thirty pm as a large
crowd of at least eighty people was seen leaving the club.
Witnesses reporting the gunmen fired indiscriminately into the crowd. The
NYPD says none of the injured is in critical condition.

(01:47:22):
All were expected to survive. There's no word on a motive.
Police say a vehicle fled the scene and they have
not made any.

Speaker 7 (01:47:29):
Arrests Box's Sioux gusband. The NYPD claims this was not
terror related. Seven thirty five at the border, three illegal
aliens arrested for allegedly murdering a Mexican immigragent agent who
asked them for their identification. The attack just thirty miles
away from our southern border. Meantime, the Trump deportation plans

(01:47:50):
are hitting more resistance from Mexico.

Speaker 28 (01:47:54):
Mexico is now launching an app to allow migrants in
the US to alert family or Mexican government officials if
they're a to be deported. Retired ICE agent Victor Ovila
says Mexico is only paying lip service to cooperating with
the US on immigration.

Speaker 29 (01:48:07):
They wanted to do anything and everything possible to to
slow down that process and kind of bog down the system,
to delay it and to make it harder on the
Trump administration to do this.

Speaker 28 (01:48:19):
A senior Mexican official says, they will ensure every Mexican
citizen gets due process in the US before being deported.
Corey Jolson News Radio seven forty KTRH. And this state
had the most population growth in the entire country last year.
A lot of that though because of the open border.
Whitebart's Bob prices, two thirds of the ten million illegals

(01:48:40):
entered here in Texas. It's put a big strain on
water and power systems.

Speaker 30 (01:48:44):
There were some talk, I think two sessions ago about
trying to allocate some money to build more reservoirs and
to move water around and things like that, and it
needs to be a priority for this term.

Speaker 7 (01:48:56):
He says, it's unclear how many of those who entered
Texas stayed in Texas. Seven thirty six, the Texas Longhorns
beat Arizona State in a thriller in the college football playoffs,
thirty nine to thirty one in double overtime. They'll play
Ohio State in the semi finals a week from tomorrow night.
The Rockets beat Dallas one ten to ninety nine. And

(01:49:16):
to recap our top story, the FBI is looking for
several people who may have helped Sam Sudding Jabbar carry
out the terror attack in New Orleans. At least fifteen
or dead more than thirty five hurt. A cyber truck
explosion outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas is also
considered terrorism. One person, the driver, is dead there seven

(01:49:37):
others were injured. And I'm Cliff Saunders on Houston's News, weather,
and traffic station News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 3 (01:49:45):
World Events, National Headlines, Houston's Morning News with Jimmy Barrett.

Speaker 4 (01:49:52):
Then y'all see the rose bul yesterday Ohio State and Oregon.
Oregon undefeated thirteen and oh ranked number one in the
college football playoff against number eight Ohio State, who lost twice,
once to Michigan. Sorry, I had to throw that in
one more time and earlier in the year. The other

(01:50:15):
only other loss they had was to Oregon in a
very very close game. This one wasn't even close clearly.
I mean, maybe the Michigan loss is the best thing
that could have happened to them, because they are clearly
motivated to come college playoff time. They just demolished Oregon.
I mean, Oregon tried to make a comeback in the
second happen man too a little too late at that point.

(01:50:36):
I say all that to say this, one of the
maybe one of the funnier moments was after the game,
when you know, they always roll out a stage for
you know, to to present the trophies, you know, Valuable
Player Trophy and you know, the Rose Bowl Trophy and
all that good stuff. They roll at the stage and

(01:50:57):
you know, the people make remarks, etcetera, etcetera. They do
a little postgame celebration. But the key here is they
roll out the stage, so there's a finite amount of weight.
I guess any stage can hold. Will Howard the quarterback
for Ohio State, and was doing a television interview right

(01:51:18):
while they were rolling out the stage and the players
are getting on board the stage, and so as soon
as he's done with the TV interview, he's running over
to try to get up there with his teammates and
they won't let him on the stage.

Speaker 8 (01:51:29):
And that's my team. I'm the start, I'm the quarterback.
I want to be up there for the trophy presentation. No,
we can't let you up there now.

Speaker 4 (01:51:41):
I don't know if they explained it to him at
the time, but evidently the reason why he wasn't allowed
to go up on the stage is that whatever Bowl
officials were there trying to regulate who's getting on the
stage thought that the stage had too many people on
it already, and they were worried about the stage collapsing

(01:52:03):
underneath the weight. And when you think about it, it's
a legitimate concern. It's a stage on wheels. It's not
like it's got some you know, pillars of support underneath it.
And you probably have noticed that Draverage college football player
is not exactly a skinny little thing anymore.

Speaker 14 (01:52:19):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:52:19):
Those offensive linemen are like, you know, three hundred and
fifty pounds, and you put all that weight up there.
I'm sure there's at some point where there's a concern
here about how much more weight it can hold. But
if all the people to not let on the stage
the starting quarterback for the winning team, I mean, they've
he could have gotten the Most Valuable Player award. I
don't know if he did or he didn't. But I mean,

(01:52:39):
can you imagine giving out the Most Valuable Player award
and the guy's not even on the stage. Seven forty
time for traffic and weather together. Check out that drive again.
Here's the guy, Mike.

Speaker 5 (01:52:47):
Let's do some East Sam southbound.

Speaker 6 (01:52:49):
The main thing is if you're coming down from a
task Casieda, trying to head over toward down the east southbound,
don't get off on the feet of road. At ce
King they had a wreck and the power lines are down.
Mainlanes are just fine, so stay the course. If you're
heading on the North SAM westbound at Alding westbound as
Aldean Westfield, they were supposed to have that finished two
weeks ago.

Speaker 5 (01:53:08):
It's still there. It's roadwork. A left lane, big shots.

Speaker 6 (01:53:11):
Let's check on your Grand Parkway from Mott Bellevue up
to Eastgate Rock and along full speed ahead. I wish
they had an extra lane. I wish I was five
nine New Canny over to Tomball. If you're somebody's butler,
that's an easy ride. As you're going across that beautiful
west fork of the Sander Center River Cicco Ranch.

Speaker 5 (01:53:27):
You're part of Graham Parkway.

Speaker 6 (01:53:29):
The usual spackle with the roadwork between Highland Noles, Fry Road,
two little skinny lanes and the text dot Wall of
Death and coming around from the Kadie part of Grand Parkway.
We look good all the way over to the golf
ball cherry and I say we get a fire, do
some s'mores under the golf ball later.

Speaker 5 (01:53:44):
I don't know what. Yeah, then that's sound good. Let's
do the classic Buick GMC traffic center. I'm Skymike.

Speaker 4 (01:53:50):
We might all be sitting fires here next week from
our kat Hark generator. We're just burning wood here. We're
just trying to stay warm, fire in the backyard, just
trying to keep our lines from freezing up and the
plumbing from busting and all that good stuff.

Speaker 19 (01:54:07):
Yeah, well, this is not going to be anything like
what we had two years ago, but it is going
to be cold, and it is going to be an
extended stretch, you know, like three four days of really
cold Arctic care. But that's all it is, and just
thank you lucky stars, that's all it is, because it's
going to be a mess for some other folks.

Speaker 8 (01:54:27):
All right.

Speaker 19 (01:54:27):
So we're mild and we are going to enjoy this
mild weather through the entire weekend. We do have a
thirty percent chance of rain today, temperatures load of mid sixties.
Tomorrow's dry mid sixties to low seventies. Saturday are twenty
percent chance of a shower. Temperatures around seventy on Saturday.
Sunday we've got some rain, sixty percent chance of showers

(01:54:51):
and storms ahead of that cold front. And we'll be
in the load of mid seventies on Sunday. And then
it's all gone in a flash because Monday is sunny
and it's cold in the mid forties to mid fifties Monday,
and it stays cold Tuesday and Wednesday.

Speaker 7 (01:55:07):
Maybe we'll start to warm.

Speaker 1 (01:55:08):
Up my Thursday.

Speaker 4 (01:55:09):
Right now forty eight at your official severe weather station,
News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 8 (01:55:15):
What you need to know for the day ahead.

Speaker 3 (01:55:17):
This is Houston's Morning News, brought to you by New
South Windows Solutions.

Speaker 4 (01:55:23):
Seven forty nine is their time in Houston's Moorner. Using
a couple of minutes, Doctor jef Atticott WI join us,
director of the Warrior Defense Project at Saint Mary's Law
School to talk about the terror attack in New Orleans.
Before we're joined by him though, and take care of
some traffic and weather business from the NYPD retired Inspector
Paul Morrow on multiple suspects. But maybe even more importantly,

(01:55:43):
do you think that this Houston guy was on the
FBI's radar.

Speaker 46 (01:55:49):
They only seem to have indications of the fact that
there are others involved, But the fact that they would
come out so strongly and say public help us lets
me know that they're right now now might not have
anything solid at least as they went to press, but
you can guarantee that they are scraping very hard at that.
The way these things work now is that you work backwards.

(01:56:11):
You want to see associations. My gut tells me they're
seeing some associations, and Senator Kennedy's language seems to imply
to me that he feels maybe there was a footprint
that could have been picked up. If there are that
many people involved, usually there's some inditia of a cell.
There's always fraying at the edges, certain things get out,

(01:56:32):
and I'm wondering, and this is just speculation, I want
to be clear, but given his body language, on his
language at the lectern, I'm wondering if they had some India,
if there was something on the radar screen that maybe
somebody wishes had been followed up. These things are very
very difficult to prevent. They always look good in twenty
twenty hindsight, but it sounds like we may discover there's

(01:56:55):
a lot more going on here than was initially indicated.

Speaker 4 (01:56:57):
Well, let's see what doctor Jeff Aticott thinks about coming
up next. First, though, traffic and weather together, starting with
the Usky Mike.

Speaker 5 (01:57:03):
Easy day on most of our freeways North Bloom up
North Loop.

Speaker 6 (01:57:06):
I've got that loopiness at the squeeze at forty five
westbound and north Sam that's the roadwork at Alding Westfield.

Speaker 5 (01:57:13):
Also westbound, we miss the left lane. I'm skylike on
the classic pubicck GMC Traffic Center.

Speaker 4 (01:57:17):
From our KTRH Generators super Center twenty four hour weather center.
For today, we're starting off partly Kadi, will be mostly
claudy for the afternoon. There's a slight shower chance today,
light temperature right about sixty four, warming up near seventy
tomorrow with partly klaudia into mostly sunny skies. It's next week,
starting on Monday, when the temperatures are going to really
drop and we'll have some freeze issues. Perhaps temperature right

(01:57:40):
now forty eight at your officials severe weather station News
Radio seven forty k TRH. We're checking out some of
our top stories on a Thursday. Here's cliff.

Speaker 7 (01:57:49):
FBI remains at the home of the North Harris County
man who tied this excuse me died while carrying out
that terroristic jack in New Orleans yesterday. The FBI also
looking at the Las Vegas cyber Trump explosion is terrorism,
and the Sugar Bowl between Notre Dame and Georgia is
postponed until today because of the attack. Get the latest

(01:58:09):
news anytime at KTRH dot com. Our next update is
at eight o'clock.

Speaker 3 (01:58:15):
I live in Katie, I live in Ito. Your reliable forecast.
Next on the ten on seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 4 (01:58:25):
All right, the death count of New Orleans remains at
fifteen thirty plus wounded after a Houston man took it
as electric pickup truck F one fifty that he had
rented through a NAP and drove it through a crowd
on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. You know that part
of the story, of course, Now it's all twenty twenty
hindsight trying to figure out you know what we should

(01:58:46):
have known, how we should have stopped him, et cetera,
et cetera. Doctor Jeff Attica joins his director of the
Warrior Defense Project at Saint Mary's Law School. Is there
anything about this case that stands out to you or
is this just kind of the same old, same old,
doctor Ettiqutt. You've seen that the terrorists, generally speaking, are
one step ahead of government authorities trying to prevent them
from from adapted.

Speaker 47 (01:59:08):
Yeah, well, there's a lot of points here. Obviously. One
thing that bothers me about the media coverage is the terrorists,
the terrorists. That doesn't help anybody. Terrorism is a tactic
where you kill people and use fear as part of
the strategy. Who's doing it? It's radical Islamic extremists, and
nobody seems to want to say it, even though the
President said, well, we found an isis flag in their car.

(01:59:29):
We're trying to figure out why they would do this.
Why would you kill people? That's the heart and soul
of radical Islam. They want to kill as many human
beings as they possibly can. So until you know the
government starts to admit that you know who is behind
these types of attacks, The number one threat is not
right wing extremists, which the Biden administration has been pushing
for four years. They want it so desperately to be so,

(01:59:51):
it's always been radical Islamic extremists. And when you devote
your FBI resources to right wing extremist groups, you know,
Grandma's trying to pray outside clinics or whatever it is,
you take your eye off the ball. And the time
to stop these people is before they get to the
New Orleans celebration or before they get to Trump Towers,
not afterwards. So the resources have been diverted, in my opinion,

(02:00:14):
wrongfully under this administration to the wrong thing.

Speaker 4 (02:00:18):
Well, and I think what you're also saying is listen,
the signs are there. This guy had quite the footprint
on social media. He made his feelings known on social
media that should have set off alarm somewhere that that
should have invited at least a interview and a home
visit from the FBI. And it would appear that the
only time his home has been visited is when it

(02:00:40):
got rated yesterday after the event.

Speaker 47 (02:00:43):
Yeah, I mean, they're too interested in school mombs. They're
domestic terrorist because they don't like their kids learning about
DEI and other certain nonsense. So, yeah, the resources have
been diverted the top echelon of the FBI. They're all
politically correct, woke people. This whole thing needs to be
cleaned out and we need to get back into reality.
And again when people say, well, you can't say it's

(02:01:04):
a you know, radical Islam, that's xenophobia or racism, well,
you know, I wrote a book called radical Islam why
a few years ago. It's just on the internet, but
radical Islam has killed more Muslims than Christians Jews. There, fella,
it's not about you know, it's not about denying the truth.
And you can't address the problem until you address the truth.

(02:01:24):
When this incident first came out, the FBI jumped up
and said it's not a terror attack. At that point
I knew that it was radical Islam because that's what
they always do. Same thing here in Texas with Hassan.
It's not a terrorist attack, of course it is. And
again it's a tactic. So we need to, you know,
we need to understand reality as reality exists, and then

(02:01:44):
use our resources to try to prevent these things because
this is more than one person. And the attack in
Vegas now I'm hearing the same rental car company was
used for that attack as well as the attack in
New Orleans, So of course there's a link, and there's
a lot of people involved in its should have been
picked up, there's no question about that.

Speaker 4 (02:02:02):
Do you think this is just off the top of
that We only have a few seconds left here. But
do you think that this is being directed from outside
of the United States or do you think there are
enough potential terrorists in the United States to be directing
it from inside our own country.

Speaker 47 (02:02:15):
Well, this is not a low wolf attack because it's
a religious belief and so therefore you don't have to
get radicalized in another country and come back here, although
that's occurred in many cases. So it's not a one
person doing it. It's a religious ideology that their goal
is to take over the world and kill anyone that

(02:02:36):
does not think like they think. They have no regard
for human life whatsoever. It's the evil of our time.
And we hit the slumber button on the alarm clock
because we haven't had a significant radical Islamic extremist attack
in the last five six years, but you know it
has occurred again, and it will occur again in the
future if we don't direct our resources where they should

(02:02:56):
be directed.

Speaker 4 (02:02:57):
Always always appreciate your insight. Thank you, sir, doctor Jeff Addick,
director of the Warrior Defense Fund at Saint Mary's Law School.
You all have a great day. See you tomorrow morning, bright,
nearly five am. I also see you this afternoon four
and am nine fifty k PRC
