Lots of sunshine today with the high temperature right about
ninety three. We'll get you the complete forecast. When we
talked to Terry Smith that the weather channel in about
nine minutes. Temperature right now currently is seventy two at
your official severe weather station, NewsRadio seven forty k TRH.

(01:33):
It is time now for the news. Here's Sheriff Fryer.

Speaker 6 (01:36):
Hey, good morning. Everyone is South five OOHT one on
news radio seven forty KTRH and our top story this hour.

Speaker 7 (01:43):
She's been the vice president for three and a half years.
Day one was fourteen hundred days ago.

Speaker 6 (01:50):
Jdvan's putting Kamala Harris record on blast during last night's
vice presidential debate on KTRH. He also called out the
bias moderators.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
He checked them and Margaret.

Speaker 8 (02:03):
I think it's important turn out of the economy than Margaret.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
The rules were.

Speaker 7 (02:07):
That you got to get a fact check, and since
you're fact checking me, I think it's important to say
what's actually.

Speaker 6 (02:12):
Going on, and then they cut off his mic. Walls
caught in a lie about being in Teneman Square during
the nineteen eighty nine uprising.

Speaker 9 (02:23):
There all I said on this was is I got
there that summer and misspoke on this, So I will
just that's what I've said.

Speaker 6 (02:31):
Well, he got to Hong Kong, not Beijing. He also
called himself a knucklehead. So who was the big winner?

Speaker 10 (02:38):
Polls from CBS and CNN gave Vance the victory. Fox's
Brick Hume says it's impressive because Walls had help.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
Moderators were obnoxious and made it feel like three on
one on Vance and Vance was just fine.

Speaker 10 (02:52):
ABC's Lindsay Davis, who moderated September's Trump Kamala debate, also
gave the advantage to the Republican.

Speaker 9 (02:58):
Jade Vance needed to come away as that humble, wakable
guy from Hillbilly Elegy.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
It seemed like he did.

Speaker 10 (03:03):
Adding that last night from the Waltz Perspective reminded her
of the June debate between Trump and Joe Biden. Cliff
Saunders News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 6 (03:12):
Donald Trump has promised it a live play by play
of the debate. He did it on True Social and
one of his gyms that the moderators were quote trying
to get the pathetic democrat across the finish line end quote.
It is now five oh three. Latest Fox numbers, though,
are showing that the election is going to come down
to seven swing states.

Speaker 11 (03:33):
Over the course of the past couple of weeks, the
seven swing states have divided pretty much, four for Kamala
Harris and three for Donald Trump, with those three being Arizona, Georgia,
and North Carolina.

Speaker 6 (03:48):
SMUs cal Jilson. Now, as of now, Fox is giving
Harris two hundred and forty one electoral votes Trump two
hundred nineteen. And that is from Fox given that poll.
All the pollsters track records, though, including Fox at being wrong,
can they really be trusted?

Speaker 12 (04:07):
Polsters are known for underestimating the amount of support that
Trump has.

Speaker 13 (04:10):
I think what we can expect right now is that
Trump will likely, as he did in sixteen and twenty, outperform.

Speaker 14 (04:16):
The question is to what extent he will outperform.

Speaker 12 (04:18):
Political consultant Luke Missia says left leaning pollsters might be
intentionally under counting Trump's support.

Speaker 13 (04:24):
They know that they're overweighting the impact that Democrats will have,
but they're doing it on purpose to try to discourage Republicans.

Speaker 14 (04:32):
I don't think it has worked.

Speaker 6 (04:33):
Messia says.

Speaker 12 (04:34):
It's important to remember that the only way to actually
outperform the polls is to show up and vote. Ethan
Buchanan News Radio seven forty ktrh.

Speaker 6 (04:41):
Our new sum now is five h five. No retaliation
from Israel yet, though it's promised. After Iran launched hundreds
saw almost two hundred ballistic missiles yesterday, a response to
the Israelis killing Hesweal leader Hassan Nasralla.

Speaker 13 (04:58):
We are now going to look at what the appropriate
next steps are to secure first and foremost American interests
and then to promote stability to the maximum extent possible
as we go forward.

Speaker 6 (05:08):
Well, Israel had help from the US as well, firing
counter missiles from our ships at sea. National Security Advisor
Jake Sullivan there there were no reports of Israeli deaths
in those missile attacks, but six people were killed in
a terrorist attack on ground in Java, a pair of
gunmen opening fire near a light rails station. It is

(05:31):
now five oh five death told from Hurricane Elane at
least one hundred and sixty a desperate attempt now to
try to rescue people who are still missing and trapped.
Nearly a third of the deaths so far in Asheville,
North Carolina.

Speaker 15 (05:46):
So we are used to somebody, but not not what
you're seeing here. And coupled with the wind damage and
the number of trees down, you can't believe your eyes.

Speaker 6 (05:57):
Yeah, Ashville Mayor Esther Mannheimer rescuers, as I said, still
looking for hundreds of unaccounted for people nationwide. Dock workers
strike now in day two.

Speaker 16 (06:09):
We're out here for one reason, fighting for our rights,
fighting for our families. How in the world, Oh we
are We had a love sawmon who runs this world?

Speaker 6 (06:23):
Yeah, that's their president, Harold Daggett. Thirty six ports have
been affected. This is the East coast of the US.
The West coast sports are still operating. This walkout is
going to drive up in already inflated food prices, Americans
already very angry at grocery stores.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Cheryl.

Speaker 17 (06:40):
We decided to ask an industry expert, Scott Mushkin, with
our five capital.

Speaker 18 (06:46):
I think Americans are set up with inflation. It's easy
to blame the grocers to that, even though they're probably
just a small part of it. But I think they
run the front line.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
And so they get to blame. But there's more that.

Speaker 18 (06:56):
At the same time, prices have gone up, service and
storking istions have decreased.

Speaker 7 (07:00):
A little bit.

Speaker 18 (07:01):
You know, paying more for lass is not what people
like to do.

Speaker 17 (07:04):
Jeff Biggs, News Radio seven forty KTH.

Speaker 6 (07:07):
New research shows while most workers feel like we're way
behind in our retirement savings, it's a much different story
for younger workers.

Speaker 4 (07:15):
Younger workers having a more positive outlook on their retirement
savings compared to those who are more senior.

Speaker 6 (07:22):
Bank rates Mark Hamrick. He says the reason younger workers
have a lot more time ahead of them just save.
It's five o seven, win or go home. For the Astros.
This afternoon, they lost to Detroit in Game one of
the AL wild Card Series. They lost three to one.
They had a chance in the last bat to win,
but they didn't. Pregame at noon first pitch at one

(07:43):
thirty on Sports Talk seven ninety I was a nervous wreck. Jimmy.
I'm Sherriff Fryar in News Radio seven forty k TRH.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
I live in Deer Park. Your best ways are round Houston.

Speaker 19 (07:56):
Next on the ten on seven forty KTRH Borny News.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
I was cooking in the kitchen last night. I made
dinner two nights in a row. Sheriff fryar.

Speaker 6 (08:06):
I'm stunned.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
Nothing fancy.

Speaker 6 (08:07):
You made me speechless, Nothing.

Speaker 4 (08:09):
Fancy, nothing fancy. Grilled cheese last night, grilled ham and
cheese last night.

Speaker 6 (08:14):
That's comfort food.

Speaker 4 (08:16):
It is, it is. It's hard to find things that
both Elizabeth and I like. We have very different taste
when it comes to food, which is why we eat
out so much. So she can give what she likes
and I can give what I like. But we agreed
on that one. And I was using, of course, teflon pan,
And when you use a teflon pan, you need to
use a teflon spatula, you know, for flipping the grilled

(08:36):
cheese sandwiches, right, which was black and plastic? And what
do you suppose the first story I see this morning
when I come to work says black plastic kitchen utensils,
take out containers, even toys linked to cancer causing chemicals.

Speaker 6 (08:50):
Great, awesome, I've got a whole dwarf.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
Oh don't we all. Here's the study published. Take this
all with a grain of salt, y'all. The study published
Tuesday yesterday in the Journal of Chemosphere Screen two hundred
and three consumer products for bromine commonly used to make
flame retardants. Toxic rominated flame retardants VFRs are what are

(09:14):
in these toys and utensils. It was found well in
eighty five percent of the products. So did I get
lucky if I got the fifteen percent that does it?
Or I got the eighty five percent it does? Total
concentrations range up to twenty two eight hundred parts per
million of chemicals, including the band substance Decca BDE and

(09:34):
its replacements. Health concerns related to these toxic flame retardants
include carcinogensicity, endocrime disruption, neurotoxicity, and reproductive and developmental toxicity.
That's sorry, I do not have any more kids. Rominated
fire retardants BFRs are commonly found in plastics, televisions, and
electronics and are currently the largest marketed flame retardant group

(09:58):
due to their high performance, efficiency low cost. But there's
no way to get away from you know, all the
chemicals that are involved.

Speaker 6 (10:06):
Give us all this information on that, and they couldn't
give us any information about adverse effects from the COVID
VECs so called.

Speaker 4 (10:13):
Isn't that the truth?

Speaker 1 (10:14):
You know?

Speaker 6 (10:14):
Isn't it funny now that you have all these unexplained maladies,
whether it's hard to issues or whatever's happening, Yeah, turbo
cancers all of a sudden, it's anything but what we
just went through over the last four you.

Speaker 4 (10:30):
Yeah, who knows of all the things in our environment?
You know that we have have been created by man?
Who knows how many of those things are actually, you know,
detrimental to us when you get right down to it.

So last night was the vice presidential debate. Yes, of
course we have audio to share with you, and Tim
Walls confirmed last night something we already knew, but it
came out of his own mouth. He's a knucklehead, no
doubt about it. He is a knucklehead.

Speaker 6 (12:25):
Well, several came out of his mouth.

(13:23):
here on this Wednesday morning. Here's Shara.

Speaker 6 (13:25):
Good morning. Everyone is now five twenty one on news
Radio seven forty k TRH. Our headlines are sponsored by
Marrow Mechanical. Once again, Donald Trump denies the Harris Walls
lie that he supports a federal ban on abortion. No,
he supports it. Going back to the States, which the
Supreme Court did. Texas executes convicted killer Garcia Glenn White,

(13:47):
who was tied to five murders between nineteen eighty nine
and nineteen ninety five. The family of the actor John
Amos says that he died in his sleep in August.
Known for his roles in Roots and The Good Times,
he was eighty four. The latest news anytime at KGURH
dot com. Our next update will be at the bottom
of the hour, keeping.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
You in the know all the information in real time.

Speaker 19 (14:10):
And in the now right nick News Radio seven forty KGRH.

Speaker 4 (14:17):
POY News. Why am I calling him a knucklehead because
he's calling himself a knucklehead. He actually, you know, you
had to think that even with the friendly debate moderators,
they're going to ask him about the China claims, right,
And they did, and he explained that he's just a knucklehead.
Take a listen.

Speaker 21 (14:34):
You said you were in Hong Kong during the deadly
Tieneman Square protests in the spring of nineteen eighty nine,
but Minnesota Public Radio and other media outlets are reporting
that you actually didn't travel to Asia until August of
that year.

Speaker 9 (14:48):
Look, I will be the first to tell you I
have poured my heart into my community.

Speaker 22 (14:52):
I've tried to do the.

Speaker 9 (14:52):
Best I can, but I've not been perfect, and I'm
a knucklehead at times, but it's always been about that.
Many times, I will talk a lot, I will get
caught up in the rhetoric, but being there, the impact
it made, the difference it made in my life. I
learned a lot about China. I hear the critiques of this.
I would make the case that Donald Trump should have
come on one of those trips with US. I guarantee

(15:13):
you he wouldn't be praising Shijing ping about COVID, and
I guarantee you he wouldn't start a trade war that
he ends up losing.

Speaker 4 (15:22):
Not a bad comeback, but I don't think he won
that debate last night by hey stretch of the imagine
that shoe.

Speaker 6 (15:26):
Never asked him, how did you get into China thirty times?

Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (15:29):
I know, I know.

Speaker 6 (15:29):
I'll tell you I've been to Beijing twice and I
didn't get there without the Chinese government allowing me to go.

Speaker 4 (15:35):
And you had to jump through a lot of hoops
to do it. Yeah, exactly. He also got into the
First Amendment a little bit last night. Here's a little
bit of that action.

Speaker 22 (15:42):
Did he lose the twenty twenty election.

Speaker 7 (15:44):
Tim, I'm focused on the future. Did Kamala Harris censor
Americans from speaking their mind in the wake of the
twenty twenty COVID situation?

Speaker 22 (15:53):
That is damning. That is a damning non answer.

Speaker 7 (15:56):
It's a damning non answer for you to not talk
about censorship. Obviously, Donald Trump and I think that there
were problems in twenty twenty. We've talked about it. I'm
happy to talk about it further. But you guys attack
us for not believing in democracy. The most sacred right
under the United States democracy is the first Amendment. You
yourself have said there's no First Amendment right to misinformation.

Speaker 22 (16:17):
Kamala Harris wants.

Speaker 7 (16:18):
To threaten HP government and big tech to silence people
from speaking their minds. That is a threat to democracy
that will long outlive this present political moment. I would
like Democrats and Republicans to both reject censorship. Let's persuade
one another, Let's argue about ideas, and then let's come
together afterwards.

Speaker 22 (16:36):
You can't yell fire in a crowded theater. That's the taest,
that's the Supreme Court tsk tim fire in a crowded theater.

Speaker 7 (16:42):
You guys wanted to kick people off of Facebook for
saying that Toddler shouldn't be.

Speaker 22 (16:48):
Fire in a crowded theater.

Speaker 7 (16:50):
That is criticizing the policies of the government, which is
the right of every American.

Speaker 4 (16:57):
Again, the thing that he did advance did so well
that I wish that President Trump had done more of,
was you know, turning it in the direction he wanted
to take it. In other words, he didn't he want
to didn't want to spend any time relitigating the twenty
twenty election. He wanted to talk about censorship. He wanted
to talk about how the left, progressive left, wants to

(17:18):
silence people who disagree with them. And I think he
did a pretty good job there of doing that.

Speaker 6 (17:23):
Trump doesn't talk about reltigating the twenty two doesn't know.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
Of course, you.

Speaker 6 (17:26):
Stopped that a long time ago. You know, they still
bang an eye. Look, advance was great and right out
of the very first question, Walls confused Iran and Israel,
switched them.

Speaker 4 (17:40):
He fits right in with the rest of the Democrats.

Speaker 6 (17:41):
You know, when you're talking knucklehead, Okay, honest mistake. The
guy was nervous. But you know, is this the guy
who should be a heartbeat away from the presidency a knucklehead?

Speaker 4 (17:49):
No, I don't think so.

Speaker 6 (17:50):
What does it say about Kamala Harrison she chose him?
What was the deed?

Speaker 4 (17:54):
I don't know. Maybe she didn't get enough to sleep
that night, maybe she was having a bad morning.

Speaker 6 (17:58):
She said she was sleep deprived.

Speaker 4 (18:00):
There you go. Those are the decisions you make when
you're sleep deprived, I guess. But I think the thing
that the Jdvans did so well is he stayed calm
and stayed He stayed affable. You know, he was never flustered.
He never let anybody get a rise out of him.
He just you know, he had a mission on what
he wanted to talk about and what he wanted to do.
And when they tried to interrupt him or to fact

(18:22):
check him, he took command. Very well done. Five twenty six.
It is time to take a look at your money.
Good morning, Corney, Dona Hope.

Speaker 23 (18:29):
Well, good morning, Jimmy. Stocks are looking at a lower
open as Wall Street focuses on the flaring tensions and
in Middle East, Doubt Future is down one hundred and
fifty five points yesterday, the escalation in that region weighing
on the major benchmarks. The US economy also faces a
new hurdle with the East Coast port strike. DOC workers
walked off the job as they look for higher pay

(18:51):
seventy three points to finish out the day, CBS plans
to cut roughly twenty nine hundred jobs. Corporate roles will
be the focus. None of the job will involve frontline

It was a violent night across Houston. Two murders, both

shot and killed. The shooter is cooperating. According to new data,

(21:26):
Houston is the worst city in this country when it
comes to home break ins, and.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
We've brought the problem on ourselves.

Speaker 25 (21:35):
We have so many people that are out on bond,
multiple bonds for three, four, five, six years.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
These people aren't out here working. They're out here going.

ties to the violent Venezuelan gang trend de Ragua. Human

smugglers staying a step ahead of law enforcement using short
term rentals too like Airbnb for stash houses. Former ICE
special agent Victor Avilas says, it's just the latest tactic
of the cartels and.

Speaker 27 (22:42):
It sounds horrible, but I'm telling you how the cartel
thinks because todaym a human body is a commodity, it's
a dollar sign, and they stash them like they were
a piece of furniture. So these conditions in these buildings
and these structures are horrific conditioned.

Speaker 6 (22:56):
In the past year, border patrols found more than two
thousand illegal alias in stash houses just alone in the
El Passo sector. The Darien Pass and Panama A long
been the gateway for South American illegal traffic that ultimately
ends up in this country now. Panama is trying to
secure its own southern border.

Speaker 12 (23:18):
Closing down Panama could be a big step towards ending
the border crisis.

Speaker 28 (23:22):
Probably the easiest place in Central America to stop the
flow of migrants coming through. It's a very small border,
easy to control, so it's a great place to stop at.

Speaker 12 (23:31):
Breitbart's Bob Price says, the bad news is Panama needs
help from the US to really get their border closed.

Speaker 28 (23:36):
When those people start piling up there, if they can't
send them back, they've got nowhere to put them, so
they eventually have to release them and let them move.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
On through prices.

Speaker 12 (23:46):
The Biden administration agreed to help send illegals back to
their home countries, but hasn't made good on that promise.
Ethan Buchanan News Radio seven forty KRH, it's now five

Speaker 7 (23:57):
You guys attack us for not believing in themocracy. The
most sacred right under the United States democracy is the
first Amendment. You yourself have said there's no First Amendment
right to misinformation.

Speaker 6 (24:09):
Yeah, that was GOP VP candidate jd Vance taking it
to tim walls as well as he did. Due to
the monitors during the CBS debate last night. It was
a debate. Even the mainstream media thought that Vance crushed Jade.

Speaker 4 (24:24):
Vance came to this debate, give some land a bunch
of punches, and he did.

Speaker 6 (24:29):
CNN's Abby Phillip much more on this at the top
of the hour six am. Donald Trump watched that debate
after making two appearances in the battleground state of Wisconsin yesterday,
and he took aim at Kamala.

Speaker 29 (24:43):
She ruined San Francisco, she ruins the state of California,
and now she's coming back to destroy the United States
of America. But we're not going to let it happen.

Speaker 6 (24:53):
Trump rallies in Michigan tomorrow, North Carolina Friday, before he
returns to Butler Pencil on Saturday, the same site as
the July thirteenth attempted assassination, fearing a second Trump term,
though the Biden heroes regime already trying to sabotage it.

Speaker 30 (25:14):
That's the goal of these policies is to empower the
subordinate career employees to be able to continue to do
the work that they've been doing and not have to
follow the directives of a president Trombor, who's the pointees.

Speaker 6 (25:25):
Federalist Curtis Schub says, the goal is to keep the
WOP bureaucracy running. You know, the things in the control
of the executive branch too numerous to fire all of them,
no matter who is in office. It is now five
point thirty six Middle East on high alert after yesterday's
ballistic missile attack multiple missiles on Israel by Iran. Mainstream

(25:46):
media wants us all to think this is all Israel's fault.

Speaker 31 (25:50):
Nobody, nobody, not the Lebanese nor the Iranians, want this
to escalate even further.

Speaker 6 (25:57):
Christian I'm a poor on CNN. Israel has promised a
response to what happened yesterday. There were no deaths in
Israel from that attack, but six people were killed about
a dozen more wounded in a separate terrorist attack in Jaffa,
just outside of Tel Aviv. Day two of the longshoreman

(26:18):
strike by forty five thousand workers at thirty six ports
from New York to Houston. It's our eastern ports, economists Warren.
This could cost the American economy up to five billion
dollars every day. The economy very much on the ballot
for small businesses too, who are set to lose a
twenty percent deduction. It's a tax deduction they get when

(26:38):
the Trump tax cuts expire at the end of twenty
twenty five.

Speaker 32 (26:43):
It's our number one issue going into this election cycle
that deduction have to be extended and made permanent in
order for these small businesses to not have a massive
tax hike.

Speaker 6 (26:54):
Jeff Burdett, the Texas state director for the National Federation
of Independent Business. He says nine out of ten small
businesses will be taking the hit if the Trump tax
cuts are not extended, something Trump has promised he will do.
He'll make them permanent. He set. It is now five
thirty seven.

Speaker 33 (27:12):
Today, Hayward and that's line and talked by the first
basement Toorkle set if f is the ballgame Astros.

Speaker 6 (27:19):
They had the bases loaded in the ninth, came up
short against the Tigers three to one. It was a
line drive. It was it was easily filtered. Yeah, it
was a it's a do or die game two today,
a l wild card series set for this afternoon. Hunter
Brown getting the start, Framberg let up a lot of hits.

Speaker 4 (27:40):
Yeah, he was run wasn't his usual self. Here's the
good news, Astros fans. They only have one Trek Schoobel,
only one Size Young Award winner for the the Tigers.
They're not deep, but they're pitching so well.

Speaker 6 (27:51):
We'll see.

Speaker 4 (27:52):
We'll get some more hits today. We'll win today.

Speaker 19 (28:15):
News Radio seven forty Summer Life, KTRH.

Speaker 4 (28:20):
Do you collect points? Do you have a credit card
that collects points? I have one that gets airline miles.
As you know, it takes a long time to collect
enough points to actually redeem it for a ticket or
for an upgrade. You know, I forget what the minimum is.
I've forget how many points I have to have in
order to be able to qualify for a free ticket,
for example. But let's say you've you've been you know,

(28:43):
you don't use it all the time. You've got the
credit card, you've had it for the last couple of years,
and you know you've been collecting points on it. Do
you haven't redeemed those points. Those points are worth less
now than they were when you started collecting them. For example,
if you had fifty thousand points on a credit card
in twenty twenty and you have not redeemed them yet,

(29:03):
those points are now worth forty one three hundred points.
The value has gone down because of inflation.

Speaker 6 (29:10):
Well aware of that.

Speaker 4 (29:11):
The same thing can be said of gift cards, especially
if you have a restaurant gift card. Somebody gave you
one hundred dollars gift card for Taste of Texas, and
they gave it to you last Christmas, virusus went up.
That one hundred dollars gift card won't stretch as far
as it did before. So you have something to think about.
For those of you that hord points. I mention, I'm
sensitive this issue because Mike Elizabeth loves to collect points.

(29:33):
She loves to collect points more than she likes to
redeem them. I'm not sure why we've got points all
over town that's never given me.

Speaker 6 (29:41):
I mean, she was moving around her changing credit cards
just so that she could get the great points that
you would get.

Speaker 4 (29:47):
Yeah, yeah, but what's good the points you? It's smart
doing that, Yeah, but the points are only as good
as your ability to or your willingness to redeem them.
At some point you have to use them or you're
not going to really get anything out of it. Right

She's absolutely terrible your decision.

Speaker 19 (33:45):
Twenty twenty four headquarters is use Radio seven forty ktrh.

Speaker 4 (33:51):
Checking in from Israel fors this morning. A Viva Klappus
from Boondless Israel. She's a pro Israeli activist and author.
It is already rosh Hashana in Israel and on the
eve of Russia Shana of course, Iran attacked the state
of Israel, sending about two hundred blistic missiles. The Irondome
got a lot of them Aviva, but there were some explosions.

(34:13):
Bring us up to date on the damage around around
the country as a result of those missiles.

Speaker 34 (34:20):
Yeah, thank you and good morning. So as you said,
it was, Iran fired one hundred and eighty one ballistic
missiles at Israel last night. I'm in Tel Aviv and
there is a in a tall building. There's a shelter
on every floor. So we went to the shelter and
we heard the sirens and a lot of booms, and
it was such it was so dramatic that they actually

(34:41):
instructed us to go downstairs to an underground shelter, where
we spent the remainder of the evening. The pnchcon says
it was about twice as many ballistic missiles as Iran
previously fired at Israel back in April. And today we
know that the one casualty of last night's Iranian attack
was a gazen man who was hit by a missile
fragment as she was standing on the street in Jericho.

(35:03):
And back in April, the one victim who wasn't killed
but was severely injured. Was a seven year old Arab
Beduin little girl. And that's what Iran's been able to
inflict on the country.

Speaker 6 (35:13):
Separately, there was a terrorist attack by two gunmen outside
a light rail station, and what is the toll on that?

Speaker 34 (35:24):
So, as you said, yes, there were two Palestinian terraces,
one with a gun, one with a knife, who attacked
in Jaffa on a train station, opening fire and then
going onto the street and opening fire. There were seven victims.
They're all relatively young. There was a mother who had
her nine month old baby with her. The mother was murdered,

(35:44):
the baby was taken to hospital and will now grow
up alone. And the rest of the victims appeared to
be in their twenties and thirties.

Speaker 4 (35:51):
Benjamin Netanyahoo bowing revenge, bowing revenge. Brother More troops evidently
headed into Lebanon. How close do you think this is
escalating into a world war?

Speaker 34 (36:03):
I think that's exactly what the question is right now.
Is that we saw in April, President Biden told Prime
Minister Natanya, who take the wind, Well, it's not a
win if a few months later Iran goes and doubles
its attack on Israel and forces ten million people to
have to run for their lives. This can't stand as
it is right now, and what we're seeing not just

(36:24):
from the United States, but from leaders all over the
world or these statements that say Israel has a right
to defend itself, but then when Israel goes and tries
to defend itself, they will condemn Israel and trying to
seriously constrain it. And I liken it to the world
watching an arsonist repeatedly set fire to a home but
then insisting that the homeowner can only put out the
fires and not actually do anything about the arsenist himself.

Speaker 6 (36:47):
So Gaza, is there any focus on Gaza within Israel still?
I mean, do you get that sense while you're there
or is there all eyes now turned toward Iran and
Hezbolah and Syria too. Understand that still of the missions
were into Syria.

Speaker 34 (37:04):
There's still one hundred and one hostages being held by
Hamas in Gaza, and certainly that is heavy on the
heart of this entire nation. And people are still adamant
that those who can be brought home must be brought home.
And it's heartbreaking because, as you said, the focus is
now on what's happening in the north, and it's it's

(37:24):
difficult to hold your attention in two places, but it's
it's very much still a goal of the war to
return these hostages.

Speaker 6 (37:30):
Home, including seven Americans, exactly.

Speaker 4 (37:37):
At this point of viva, how how are the Israeli
people responding to some of the things that the Prime
Minister has been saying. Netanyahu does he does he? Is
he getting the support at this point for continued military operations.
Are any of them calling for the Israelis to pull back?

Speaker 28 (37:57):
You know?

Speaker 4 (37:57):
What's the general mood of the country at.

Speaker 34 (37:59):
This point, I would say amongst the Israeli people, the
consensus is that this is this is not a situation
that Israeli should need to live with. They should not
have to deal with the constant rocket attacks from Krasbola
and Lebanon. There have been over nine thousand rocket attacks
almost daily for a year now since October eighth. Of course,
there is the threat that from Hamas and Gaza, which

(38:21):
claimed twelve hundred lives one hundred and one hostages still there.
So amongst the Israeli people, it's very clear that the
threats against the country, against the citizens need to come
to an end. Sixty thousand Israelis have been forced from
their homes in northern Israel because of the threat that
Krasbel opposes to them, because the UN is failing to

(38:42):
impose Resolution seventeen oh one, which is supposed to have
pushed Rasbola away from the border, It's supposed to have
disarmed the terrorist group. That hasn't happened in eighteen years,
and so now Israel is forced to go in and
try to push the terists away so that Israelis can
return to their home and have what all people in
the world should have, this right to live peacefully, to
be able to celebrate our Jewish holidays, and to live

(39:02):
life here normally. So in that sense, I think Israeli
people are united in how we go about bringing the
hostages home and how we go about dealing with Iran
in this moment. I think that's where the debates begin.

Speaker 6 (39:14):
It would help if the American government did not help
Iran fund.

Speaker 34 (39:18):
Itself, certainly. It would also help if, as I said,
there's a lot of statements that are well, that's obvious,
saying that Israel has a right to defend itself. Yes,
that should go without saying do we ever say that
about Canada or Britain or Germany. Every sovereign state has
a right to defend itself if you put your money

(39:38):
where your mouth is, when you actually support that country
to be able to support itself. Iran has sent its
terrorist proxies Hutis and Yam and Ramas and Gaza Resbula
in Lebanon, various other terrorist groups in Syria and in Iraq.
They are NonStop attacking Israel. And so it's like swatting
flies in a swamp to try to go after these
proxy groups rather than go after the name source of

(40:00):
the threat, which is around.

Speaker 4 (40:01):
Well and the main sources striking you now. So now's
the time to go after them. I guess thank you
for your time this morning. Best of luck, A viva

I've tried to do the best I can, but I've
not been perfect, and I'm a knucklehead at times.

Speaker 6 (42:05):
Democrat VP candidate Tim Walls last night saying I'm a knucklehead.
In the debate, you heard it live here on KTRH,
he got caught in a bunch of lies about everything
from his military service to being in China during Teneman Square. Yeah.
Republican JD. Van set the record straight though, and he
also weighed in on what Walls's boss, Kamala Harris, has

(42:29):
already done and not.

Speaker 7 (42:31):
Done ninety four executive orders suspending deportations, decriminalizing illegal aliens
massively increasing the asylum fraud that exists in our system,
that has opened the floodgates.

Speaker 6 (42:44):
Yeah, and he added that day one for Kamala isn't
in twenty twenty five. It was actually fourteen hundred days
ago when she took office in twenty twenty one as
vice president. Mainstream media, thanks, Vance crushed walls last night,
and so do even some Democrats.

Speaker 1 (43:03):
Governor Wallace was a little rattle.

Speaker 7 (43:05):
Centert.

Speaker 8 (43:05):
Advance came out stronger and certainly assure of himself.

Speaker 6 (43:08):
Yeah, as former Tennessee Congressman Harold Ford, he was on Fox.
Texas Senator Tom Cruz didn't need a debate to figure
out who had the edge under Donald Trump.

Speaker 35 (43:21):
The border was secure under Kamala Harris. It's the worst
it's ever been on history. Whether it's the economy under
Donald Trump. We had booming prosperity. Under Kamala Harris, we
have American people struggling and hurting.

Speaker 6 (43:34):
Cruz was on Katie r h Sean Hannity. As promised,
Donald Trump reacted to the debate live on True Social
He blessed the CBS anchors for their bias. CBS cut
Advance's Mike It said they weren't going to do that
after he actually called them out for fact checking him.
He fact checked them. Jimmy's got more on that, and

(43:56):
we've got some of it at seven am. You'll hear it.
It is now four. The newest Fox rankings nonetheless have
the race between Trump and Kamala Harris coming down to
the Swing States. Harris they say is ahead in four
out of seven.

Speaker 11 (44:12):
They're all close on both sides, So just a little
bit of a shift in a particular poll, you want
to sort of wait on and see what follows that
because these are all very close.

Speaker 6 (44:23):
Cal Jillson of SMU there he says things could change
though between now at November fifth, you think, given the
polsters were wrong in twenty sixteen and twenty twenty, they
are very good chances are wrong again. But maybe by
design from.

Speaker 13 (44:39):
The public polling firms and the Democrat leaning polsters. It's
one hundred percent what they do. They know that their
polls are inaccurate.

Speaker 6 (44:48):
Political consultant Luke Mascia is telling KGH it could be
an effort by left leaning polsters to actually demotivate conservatives,
get them all depressed. So what's the point in voting.
That's what trying, you think. President Trump returning to Texas
for a fundraiser in Houston today now, Harris County Party
GOP chair Cindy Siegel says, it's in a tight race

(45:12):
like this, it's really every dollar that counts.

Speaker 36 (45:16):
He recognizes that Texas has always been behind him and
we have a lot of big donors here, So I
think that comes down to the financial support for his campaign.

Speaker 6 (45:29):
Yeah, Trump has raised twenty nine million dollars from Texas's cycle.
Harris has raised twenty one million dollars here in Texas.
It is six oh five. Tensions at the boiling point
after the ballistic missile attack on Israel by Iran yesterday.

Speaker 33 (45:46):
Israel and Hesbila are continuing to exchange heavy fire across
the border after the biggest ballistic missile strike in history,
a sign that the war continues. Just a really scary
night across set in southern Israel at one hundred and
eighty ballistic missiles launched by Iran into Israel, many of

(46:07):
them shot down by Israel's air defense and international partners
in the region.

Speaker 6 (46:12):
Not international partners helping shoot them down. That's Fox's Nate Foyd.
Now nobody was killed Israeli. There was a Palestinian who
was killed by a missile. Six others, though Israelis, were
murdered in a separate terror attack in the city of
Java yesterday. It's now six h six death toll climbing

(46:34):
from Hurricane Helene. Meantime, we have people dying here in
this country by the hundreds, at least one hundred and
sixty people confirmed dead, many of them in the state
of North Carolina.

Speaker 9 (46:47):
I have brief President Biden and Vice President Harris each
on two occasions, and they have committed every resource available
to this recovery.

Speaker 6 (46:57):
Yeah, recovery, but rescue. Governor Roy Cooper. There more than
a million people across the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida's still
without power this morning. Nationwide dock workers strike now in
its second day, with the Biden Harris administration sitting on
the sidelines.

Speaker 1 (47:14):
Where is our president? How is Biden saying nothing about
any of this?

Speaker 6 (47:19):
Yeah? K t h is Klay Travis there. I should
really say. It's not nationwide because the West coast is
still operating. It's the East coast strike by the longshoreman
and that's thirty six ports between New York and Houston
shut down by forty five thousand striking longshoremen. It's going
to drive up prices across the board, nonetheless for at

(47:40):
least half the country. And you know the West Coast
can't handle everything. It's more expensive, so look for it
at the supermarket too. Recent gallupol only thirty three percent
of Americans have a positive view of the grocery industry now.
Expert Scott Mushkin tells KTRH prices groceries still the top
Issue's food folks, bad economy.

Speaker 18 (48:03):
It's right in your face, and see the inflation. You
don't have anyone else to complain to or get angry at.
It's as much as you might want to, so it's
not as there's not much interaction. So I think the
grocery industry gets probably more than their full share of complaining.

Speaker 6 (48:16):
Yeah, not the supermarket's fault. Mushkin says. The food prices
have gone up thirty percent under the Biden Harris regime
and the inflation they've given us. According to bank Rate,
most people say they're behind on their retirement saving savings,
but younger workers, well they're optimistic. That's because they've got

(48:36):
more time to still grow it sin. In Game two

The big moment from the debate last night, at least
the one that's going to go most viral. I think
of anything that happened at the debate last night was
when Margaret Brennan from CBS News tried to fact check
Jdvans even though there was not supposed to be any
fact checking going on. Well, they say they left it
to their discretion. So his basic response is, well, you

(49:27):
want to fact check me, let me let me fact
check you a little bit.

Speaker 21 (49:30):
Here we go, just to clarify for our viewers, Springfield,
Ohio does have a large number of Haitian migrants who
have legal status temporary protective Laura.

Speaker 1 (49:41):
But thank you, senator, we have so much to get to.

Speaker 8 (49:44):
I think it's important because of the economy.

Speaker 1 (49:46):
Thanks Margaret.

Speaker 7 (49:47):
The rules were that you got to we're in a
fact check, and since you're fact checking me, I think
it's important to say what's actually going on. So there's
an application called the CBP one app where you can
go on as an illegal migrant.

Speaker 22 (49:59):
Apply for a silen or apply.

Speaker 7 (50:00):
For parole and be granted legal status at the wave
of a Kamala Harris open border Wand that is not
a person coming in applying for a green cart and
waiting for ten years. Thank you, the senatoration of a
legal immigration Margaret bye.

Speaker 21 (50:15):
Thank you, senator for describing the legal process so much.

Speaker 9 (50:20):
Senator, we have so much book since nineteen ninety.

Speaker 22 (50:24):
Thank you, gentlemen.

Speaker 1 (50:25):

Speaker 6 (50:34):
The mics now because you caught us.

Speaker 4 (50:36):
Yeah, exactly exactly. I'm glad he didn't let them get
away with that. Maybe they'll think twice next time before
they start getting the fact checking thing. This, this is
what should have happened during Trump's presidential debate. They should
have left the mics on because I guarantee you Trump
would have called them on a Kamala Harris. I don't
know what she would have done with an open microphone,
but I think Donald Trump would have had a better

(50:57):
chance of defending himself. That's why they're not debates exactly.

So we get these different polls and reports of what's
going on in the battleground states. You know, one by
Fox Today claims that the edge goes to Kamala Harrison
the battleground states. The other one claims that Trump has
the edge when it comes to the battleground states. Here's
what we do know about polling in Donald Trump. They
have a tendency to weigh underestimate his support. So we're

(53:13):
gonna talk to Luke Massia's political consultant about that. Whose
polls should we be looking at. That's coming up next, First,

Speaker 4 (55:07):
The battleground states, Luke Massias joins US political consultant. And
you can look at half a dozen polls, Luke, and
they all say something different about what's going on in
the battleground states. We know it's going to be tight,
that's why they're battleground states. But we also know that
the pollsters have a tendency to underestimate Donald Trump's support,
don't they They.

Speaker 22 (55:27):
Do they do.

Speaker 38 (55:27):
It's it's pretty common. There's only a handful that don't
have that track record. But even like you said Fox News, Quinnipiac,
many of these other states often underestimate the support that
Donald Trump has.

Speaker 6 (55:41):
How does that happen? I mean, I know that a
lot of Trump supporters has refused to answer polls. I
know that they weight the polls, but what else does
it play here? Are they only doing it in certain
enclays where they know that they're going to have the
kind of response they get.

Speaker 14 (55:57):
The most common.

Speaker 38 (56:00):
Mistake, an intentional mistake I would say that they make,
is that they pull registered voters. You'll see these polls
come out that are RV registered voter polls, and they
basically know that there's twenty five percent of this group
that have no chance of actually participating in the electum,
but they pull them anyways. And it shouldn't surprise anybody
that people who are registered to vote but have no

(56:21):
intention of really participating don't tend to be that engaged
and often lean Democratic.

Speaker 22 (56:27):
And so that's one way of easily skewing the numbers.

Speaker 38 (56:30):
The other aspect is that a lot of voters don't
want to participate in polls or do think that the
polls are skewed. There's a group called the Trafalgar Group
and they were the most accurate. They're the one group
that consistently said that Donald Trump was going to win
in twenty sixteen. Twenty won and that pollster just last
night release polls that showed Donald Trump up in Pennsylvania

(56:51):
and Wisconsin. And if he wins Pennsylvania Wisconsin, he will
be the next president of.

Speaker 22 (56:56):
The United States, and so you do see some of these.

Speaker 38 (56:59):
Groups that are actually a little bit a little bit
better at predicting the future, continuing to give Donald Trump
an edge in many of the battleground states.

Speaker 6 (57:08):
Also, I'm concerned when the polls are done, you know,
they release them, but we don't know when they were done.
They don't always tell you that you have fine print.

Speaker 1 (57:18):
They don't.

Speaker 38 (57:18):
Sometimes it was done quite a while ago. Sometimes they'll
release them and then you look and you realize, oh, wait,
this poll was two weeks old, and it was done
over a week long period of time, and three weeks
is an eternity in the time of polling, things will
change drastically. In late June, when Joe Biden was still
in the ticket, of course, Trump was pulling incredibly well,

(57:41):
and then Kamala got her a little bump with excitement,
and so you have to really recognize when it was taken,
what the snapshot is. That stuff is something to take
in consideration.

Speaker 4 (57:51):
You mentioned voter enthusiasm. Certainly it was very low for
Democrats with Joe Biden, came back up a little bit
with Kamala. Harris, do you think that's falling back again?

Speaker 38 (58:00):
I do think that her energy is coming. It came
back up with Democrats. So Democrats got excited about Kamala
Harris's election. Okay, ultimately and and.

Speaker 6 (58:12):
So uh that's okay.

Speaker 1 (58:16):
Somebody, well, my kids just woke up.

more creative.

Police recently busted in an illegal immigrant stash house and
an Airbnb rental in El Paso. Former ICE special Agent
Victor Avola says this is a growing trend across border communities.

Speaker 27 (01:02:53):
When they say stash house, it could be a stash garage.

Speaker 1 (01:02:56):
It could be a warehouse.

Speaker 27 (01:02:57):
It could be a hotel, It could be an Airbnb,
it could rental, It could be any type of structure
where they would put people.

Only recently are they making lip service to the fact
that they want to do something about this immigration problem.

We know full well that that's not the case.

Speaker 6 (01:04:42):
Scott Jennings on CNN, one ABC News commentator, said it
reminded her of the June debate between Donald Trump and
Joe Biden. Trump watched the debate himself after making a
double campaign stops in Wisconsin, and he's targeting Kamala.

Speaker 29 (01:04:58):

be dealing with as soon as he starts with the
new administration.

Speaker 17 (01:05:40):
That's Curtis Shoulby, Executive director of the Council to Modernize Governance.
He says, they want to make sure that Trump doesn't
drain the swamp.

Speaker 30 (01:05:50):
Draining the swamp, that would be a good way of
putting it. They're trying to give more power to those
people who really kind of in a lot of ways

that you know, something will have happened where at least
you know, we can communicate. She said that the biggest
problem is is that nobody can communicate with each other.

no there's no way to communicate with each other.

lot of the residents there don't even know how bad
it is anywhere else because they can't get there. They
can't see news stories, they can't the roads are washed out,
they can't get to you know, they in many cases
they can't get to any other place. They start to
venture out to try to find gas lane or something
and end up that's what she ended up doing. The

(01:08:57):
first few days she went out to try to find
some gas, ended up turning around and going back home
because she couldn't find a way to get to a

Order here he is talking tough in some Also a
report from the folks at Fox. And what's going on
to the Port of Baltimore.

Speaker 37 (01:14:04):
When my men hit the streets from Maine to Texas,
every single port a lock down. You know what's gonna happen,
I'll tell you. First week, be all over the news,
every nine boom boom. The second week, guys who sell
costs can't sell costs because.

Speaker 22 (01:14:23):
The cause ain't coming in off the ships.

Speaker 1 (01:14:26):
They get laid off. Third week.

Speaker 22 (01:14:29):
Malls are closing down.

Speaker 37 (01:14:31):
They can't get the goods from China, they can't sell clothes,
they can't do this. Everything in the United States comes
on as ship. They go out of business. Construction workers
get laid off because the materials aren't coming in. The
steel's not coming in, the lumber's not coming in. They
lose their job. Everybody's hating the long showmen now because

(01:14:55):
now they realize how important our job's are.

Speaker 41 (01:14:58):
They're around twenty four hundred International Longshoremen's Association members.

Speaker 1 (01:15:03):
At this particular port.

Speaker 41 (01:15:04):
You can see a group of them on the picket
lines in the rain, not.

Speaker 1 (01:15:08):
Deterred at all by that.

Speaker 41 (01:15:10):
Forty five thousand members across ports from Texas all the
way up to Maine on stripe right now.

Speaker 1 (01:15:18):
And what that means for you and me.

Speaker 41 (01:15:20):
Is, well, you can see the effects of this strike.
These cranes you see in the background are the cranes
that these men and women would typically be operating, but
they've walked off the job and now they are at
a standstill. That means products coming into the United States
from all over the world are also at a standstill.

Speaker 1 (01:15:39):
Our colleague Lydia, who spoke to the.

Speaker 41 (01:15:41):
President of the ISLA, the International Longshoreman's Association, this morning.
He's praising the Biden Harris administration, in particular the acting
Labor Secretary Julie Sue, for encouraging the two sides to come.

Speaker 1 (01:15:55):
Together to negotiate.

Speaker 41 (01:15:56):
But the problem is a whole host of industry groups
say that the Biden Harris administration isn't doing enough for
the US Chamber of Commerce, the National Retail Federation, wholesalers.

Speaker 1 (01:16:07):
They're all saying that the.

Speaker 41 (01:16:09):
Administration should invoke the Taft Hartley Act that you mentioned,
so these workers have to say on the job while
negotiations continue.

Speaker 4 (01:16:17):
Biden's already said he doesn't believe in the Taft hart
Hartly Act, so that's not going to happen. But why
isn't he If he's going to be a real leader
on this, why not invite them to the White House,
sit them down, and have them do some negotiations. I mean,
it's one thing to say, yeah, I think they should negotiate.
I believe in collective bargaining. How about encouraging that by
making it happen.

Speaker 6 (01:16:37):
There's something else happening here, though, it's a very clear
signal that if you can't get things offloaded, your exports
from other countries, the western countries, I'm talking about Europe
and that side of the country coming in. If you
can't get your imports in, you might as well start
manufacturing here in America. Think about that. And if you

(01:17:01):
manufacturer here in America, you're going to be hiring American workers.

Speaker 4 (01:17:05):
You think that's going to come from this?

Speaker 6 (01:17:08):
They might If you can't ship in your BMW's.

Speaker 4 (01:17:12):
You know it won't be Liberals won't come to that
conclusion on No.

Speaker 6 (01:17:15):
Liberals won't, but the manufacturers.

Speaker 4 (01:17:17):
Will, well, hopefully so and hopefully and if there's you, if.

Speaker 6 (01:17:20):
You can't get your imports, we're the biggest consumer of imports.

Speaker 4 (01:17:24):
Well, you also have to be able to get your
exports out. It's not just imports, it's.

Good morning. Everyone. Is How seven oh two on news
Radio seven forty KTRH is new sponsored by Oopsteam Cleaning.
Top story this hour. Jdvans put the Kamala Harris record
on blast during last night's VP debate on KTRH. He
also stood up to and actually called out the biased
moderators and Margaret.

Speaker 8 (01:20:33):
I think it's important to turn out of the economy
than Margaret.

Speaker 7 (01:20:36):
The rules were that you got in a fact check,
and since you're fact checking me, I think it's important
to say what's actually going on, and he fact checked them.

Speaker 6 (01:20:44):
Waltz was caught in a lie about being in Tenement Square,
Beijing during the nineteen eighty nine uprising.

Speaker 9 (01:20:50):
There alls I said on this was is I got
there that summer and misspoke on this, So I will
just that's what I've said.

Speaker 6 (01:20:58):
He also called himself a knuckle. The polls show Vance
was the winner last night. Numbers were closer actually than reality.

Speaker 10 (01:21:08):
Florida Republican Congressman Byron Donald says it was all vance.

Speaker 4 (01:21:12):
Jad kept the pressure on all night, keeping its policy.

Speaker 10 (01:21:15):
Texas editor Ted Cruz told our own Sean Hennity Walls
lost because we already know what a Kamala administration looks like.

Speaker 35 (01:21:22):
Under Kamala Harris, we see war across the globe. I
think that contrast came out very clearly tonight and Kamala
Harris was the loser.

Speaker 10 (01:21:30):
And unless something changes, last night was the final debate
between these two campaigns. Cliff Saunders, who's Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 6 (01:21:38):
Donald Trump has promised he did his live play by
play of the debate. He did it on Truth Social.
One of his gems that the moderators were quote trying
to get the pathetic democrat across the finish line end quote.
It is now seven oh three. Latest numbers show that
the elections kind of come down though to seven swing states.
This is by Fox.

Speaker 11 (01:22:00):
Over the course of the past couple of weeks, the
seven swing states have divided pretty much, four for Kamala
Harris and three for Donald Trump, with those three being Arizona, Georgia,
and North Carolina.

Speaker 6 (01:22:14):
SMUs cal Jilson. As of now, Fox giving Harris two
hundred and forty one electoral votes Trump two hundred and nineteen.
The pollsters track records though, of being wrong, so how
much do we really trust them.

Speaker 12 (01:22:28):
Pollsters are known for underestimating the amount of support that
Trump has.

Speaker 13 (01:22:32):
I think what we can expect right now is that
Trump will likely, as he did in sixteen and twenty, outperform.

Speaker 14 (01:22:37):
The question is to what extent he will outperform.

Speaker 12 (01:22:40):
Political consultant Luke Messias says left leaning posters might be
intentionally under counting Trump's support.

Speaker 13 (01:22:45):
They know that they're overweighting the impact that Democrats will have,
but they're doing it on purpose to try to discourage Republicans.

Speaker 14 (01:22:53):
I don't think it has worked.

Speaker 6 (01:22:54):
Messia says.

Speaker 12 (01:22:55):
It's important to remember that the only way to actually
outperform the polls is to show up and vote. Ethan
Buchennan News Radio seven forty KGRH.

Speaker 6 (01:23:03):
Donald Trump himself in Houston today for fundraising activities. Texas
is Trump country, after all, and Harris County GOP Party
chair Cindy Siegel says, well, he still can't take chances
with the vote here.

Speaker 36 (01:23:18):
It never hurts to have the former president come to
this state. I mean it is a red state. He'll
carry it, but you can't take any of your voters
for granted.

Speaker 6 (01:23:29):
Yeah, and there's also the down ballot. He's here showing
support for all the Republicans down ballot. Trump has raised
twenty nine million dollars from Texas donors so far seven
oh five. No retaliation or revenge as promised yet from
Israel after Iran launched hundreds of ballistic missiles hypersonic ballistic

(01:23:50):
missiles yesterday. A response to the Israelis killing hesweal of
leader Hassan Nasralla.

Speaker 34 (01:23:57):
I liken it to the world watching in Arson has
repeatedly set fire to a home, but then insisting that
the homeowner can only put out the fires and not
actually do anything about the arsonist himself.

Speaker 6 (01:24:07):
Yeah, that's pro Israel activist a Viva klompas she was
on Houston's Morning News just earlier today, six people were
killed in a separate terrorist attack in Java, where a
pair of gunmen opened fire near a light rails station.
It is now seven oh six. The death toll Hurricane
Helene at least one hundred and sixty, and then nearly

(01:24:28):

seeing here. And coupled with the wind damage and the
number of trees down, you can't believe your eyes.

Asheville mayor Esther Mannheimer rescuers still looking for hundreds of
people on accounted for missing, maybe still trapped. DOC workers

Speaker 10 (01:24:57):

bionomics of the inflation.

Speaker 15 (01:25:02):

they can't feed their families.

Speaker 6 (01:25:07):
House speaker Mike Johnson on Fox and Friends just during
the last hour, Well, the walkout is going to drive
up already inflated food prices. Americans guess what already angry
at grocery stores, Cheryl.

Speaker 17 (01:25:21):
We decided to ask an industry expert, Scott Mushkin with
R five Capital.

Speaker 18 (01:25:27):
I think Americans are set up with inflation. It's easy
to blame the grossest to that, even though they're probably
just a small part of it. But I think they
run the front line and so they get to blame.

Speaker 1 (01:25:36):
But there's more.

Speaker 18 (01:25:37):
At the same time, prices have gone up, service and
store conditions have decreased a little bit you know, paying
more for lass is not what people like to do.

Your decision twenty twenty four Headquarters is used Radio seven KTRH.

Speaker 4 (01:26:34):
Some the viral moments, of course, are the the the
interrupting the moderator and the fact checking thing, and Walls
calling himself a knucklehead, you knucklehead. I can think of
a Charles Barkley's say knucklehead. I'll have to find that.
We'll be able to think that. Part of the New
Wall's theme song anyway, they did debate some issues, including guns.

Speaker 9 (01:26:55):
I got a seventeen year old and and he witnessed
to shooting at a community center playing volleyball. Those things
don't leave you. No one's trying to scaremonger and say
we're taking your guns.

Speaker 22 (01:27:05):
But I ask all of you out there, do you.

Speaker 9 (01:27:07):
Want your schools hardened to look like a fort? Is
that what we have to go When we know there's
countries around the world that their children aren't practicing these
types of drills, they're being kids.

Speaker 22 (01:27:20):
We owe it to them to get a fixed TI.

Speaker 7 (01:27:22):
First of all, I didn't know that your seventeen year
old witness is shooting.

Speaker 1 (01:27:25):
I'm sorry about that, and I appreciate. Okay, christ have mercy.

Speaker 22 (01:27:28):
It is awful.

Speaker 7 (01:27:29):
We unfortunately have a mental health crisis in this country
that I really do think that we need to get
to the root causes of, because I don't think it's
the whole reason why we have such a bad gun
violence problem, but I do think it's a big piece
of it.

Speaker 9 (01:27:40):
Just because you have a mental health issue doesn't mean
you're violent. And I think what we end up doing
is we start looking for escapeboat. Sometimes it just is
the guns.

Speaker 4 (01:27:49):
It's not the guns. But that's okay. I think JD.
Walls there's a prime example of how he handled this
so adeptly. You know, Walls mentions this on witness singer
shooting and he shows sympathy, empathy. Yeah, I'm sorry he
went through.

Speaker 6 (01:28:06):
That, but it wasn't political. It was real, right, exactly
the motion. But he always strikes you as somebody he's
trying to come up with answers. You know, this is
a problem. If we can't even talk honestly about the problem,
how in the world can we come up with solutions. Well,
I think Tim Walls knee jerk reaction. Blame it on
the guns.

Speaker 4 (01:28:23):
I think Tim Walls illustrated the real part of the
problem because when when jad Vance brought up mental health,
which we know to be a significant part of the
gun violence problem we have in this country, regardless of
the cause of the mental health, whether it's social media
or whatever else you want to put in the mental
health category, he didn't want to. He didn't want to
talk about mental He didn't want to you know, have
anybody think, oh, well they're not. You don't tell people

(01:28:45):
that they're in mental health because they'll think they're crazy
and crazy people are shooting guns kind of thing.

Speaker 6 (01:28:49):
Well, he's got a lot of baggage himself. They call
him tampon p Tim for a reason, you know, yeah,
putting tampons and boys boys not men's boys.

Speaker 4 (01:29:00):
Yeah, But I think the point being that they're not
willing to discuss mental health as a part of the
gun violence problem. Therefore you're not going to solve How
many problems can you solve without including that in the conversation?
Not many? Seven eleven die for traffic and whether together
here is Cat Cortes, Well, two.

Speaker 5 (01:29:18):
Eighty eight is trying your patients right now the South
Free Way. We do have a wreck with two left

James David Vance is one hell of a debater and
Tim Walls is a knucklehead by his own admission. Cindy
Siegle joins us to talk about the debate last night.
I'm sure you're watching, right, Cindy.

Speaker 43 (01:32:42):
Yes, I watched the whole thing.

Speaker 4 (01:32:44):
What stood out to you?

Speaker 43 (01:32:46):
Jd Vance did great. It was obvious that Walt started
week and pretty much stayed week the whole night. To me,
his you know mid West aushucks. I'm just a you
know coach nice.

Speaker 36 (01:33:06):
Man, just like you.

Speaker 43 (01:33:08):
I thought was really weak, and I thought jd Vance
came across sharp, personable.

Speaker 1 (01:33:16):
Relatable to the voters.

Speaker 43 (01:33:18):
And he, you know, he kept Waltz on the defensive
about Kamala Harris's and Biden's, you know, policies that have
heard us so much.

Speaker 6 (01:33:30):
While we talk about the voters, let's talk about we
were going to be voting this month. Early vote starts
here in the state of Texas. Are you ready here
in Harris County?

Speaker 43 (01:33:40):
Yes, you know, there's always work to do. The clock's ticking.
We've you know, we're working hard on getting our election
workers trained, getting poll weight watchers put in place, you know,
helping our candidates get across the finish line and win.
You know, there's just you know, a lot of work

(01:34:01):
between now and the election. But we feel confident. And
I'll tell you, I think our base, our voters and
voters who maybe haven't traditionally voted Republican, We the signs
are for our candidates are flying off the shelves.

Speaker 6 (01:34:17):
Are you confident that you're going to be able to
go to court immediately if there's something happening during any
time during this election period that you'll be able to
get a court here in Harris County to order the
things operate on the up and up.

Speaker 43 (01:34:34):
Well, I mean, you know, we still have a bunch
of Democrats in court and it's sort of the luck
of the draw there, although we do have some Republicans. Now,
we have a group of attorneys. We're working with the
RNC and Trump team putting together a war room for
not only Harris County, but they'll also be hoping the state.

(01:34:58):
You know, we're fully ready. We've got great attorneys, We've
got a great team, and we can go to court
immediately if there's any issue. Now that means probably afore
before a Democrat judge, and don't get an immediate resolution,
we have to immediately appeal it, you know, and get

(01:35:19):
the Attorney general involved.

Speaker 4 (01:35:20):
Cindy, what what do you think the chances are that
we will note know what the final vote total is
for Harris County by six a m. Morning after the election.

Speaker 43 (01:35:32):
Well, I'm not a betting person, but I'm I think
if someone tells you that will happen, I've got some
swamp land down south.

Speaker 4 (01:35:41):
I can tell you it doesn't sound like you're very
confident about that. So let's let's ask this. I know
President Trump's coming to town today for a fundraiser. What
else can you tell us about the president's visit.

Speaker 43 (01:35:52):
Well, I think he's coming here because he knows Texas
supports him and there's a lot of big donors support him,
and you know, it shows us, what I think is
real positive. It shows us that he's not taking Texas
for granted, it's my understanding. And he's also will be
going in the near future to the Dallas area too.

(01:36:17):
And you know Texas is a player in terms of
the votes as well as the donations.

Speaker 6 (01:36:26):
Well, we have an ex president who you know, former
president who lives in Dallas, So there there is that
going on up there too.

Speaker 43 (01:36:34):
Yeah, but now I think it was obvious at the
national convention with Texas delegation where this is Trump planned
in Texas.

Speaker 4 (01:36:46):
All Right, we've got to run city. But thank you
for joining us. We're sure to appreciate it. That is

have no compassion for anybody.

There our new search warrants that have been revealed newly

(01:40:21):
remain a step ahead of law enforcement all across this
country by using short term rentals like Airbnb for stash houses. Now,
former ICE special agent Victor Avila says, it's just the
latest tactic of the cartels and.

Speaker 27 (01:40:35):
It sounds horrible, but I'm telling you how the cartel
thinks because to them, a human body is a commodity,
it's a dollar sign, and they stash them like they
were a piece of furniture. So these conditions in these
buildings and these structures are horrific conditioned.

Speaker 6 (01:40:49):
In the past year, border patrol has found more than
two thousand illegal aliens in stash houses just alone in
the El Paso sector. The Darien Pass and Panama of
long been the gateway for South American illegal traffic, and
now Panama says it's trying to secure its own southern border,
but they need our help, our money.

Speaker 12 (01:41:10):
Closing down Panama could be a big step towards ending
the border crisis.

Speaker 28 (01:41:14):
Probably the easiest place in Central America to stop the
flow of migrants coming through. It's a very small border,
easy to control.

Speaker 12 (01:41:21):
So it's a great place to stop at Breitbart's Bob
Price says, the bad news is Panama needs help from
the US to really get their border closed.

Speaker 28 (01:41:28):
When those people start piling up there, if they can't
send them back, they've got nowhere to put them, so
they eventually have to release them and let them move
on through.

back to their home countries, but hasn't made good on
that promise. Ethan Buchanan News Radio seven forty krh SO

That's gop VP candidate jd Vance taking it to Tim
Walls and the moderators themselves during the CBS debate last night.
It's a debate. Even the mainstream media thought Vance crushed.

Speaker 25 (01:43:13):
Jd Vance came to this to beate, he to land
a bunch of punches, and he did.

Speaker 6 (01:43:19):
That, is Abby Phillip of CNN. Donald Trump watched the
debate after making two appearances in Wisconsin yesterday, and he
took aim at Kamala.

That's the goal of these policies is to empower the
subordinate career employees to be able to continue to do
the work that they've been doing and not have to
follow the directives of President Tromp or his appointees.

Speaker 6 (01:44:10):
They're going to do it by messing around with the
bureaucracy that was a federalist curist Kurtis Shube. He says,
the goal is to keep the woke bureaucracy up and

It's US Radio seven forty KTRH on FM Houston's News, Weather,
Traffic and Talk at ninety nine one.

Speaker 4 (01:45:43):
HT two Morning News. A right, the economy didn't come
up last night during the vance walls debate, as did manufacturing.
Here's a little bit about how that part of the
conversation went.

Speaker 7 (01:45:55):
Governor, you say, trust the experts, But those same experts
for forty years said that if we shipped our manufacturing
base off to China, we'd get cheaper goods.

Speaker 1 (01:46:03):
They lied about that.

Speaker 7 (01:46:04):
They said if we shipped our industrial base off to
other countries, to Mexico and elsewhere, it would make the
middle class stronger.

Speaker 1 (01:46:11):
They were wrong about that.

Speaker 7 (01:46:12):
They were wrong about the idea that if we made
America less self reliant, less productive in our own nation,
that it would somehow make us better off.

Speaker 1 (01:46:21):
And they were wrong about it.

Speaker 7 (01:46:22):
And for the first time in a generation, Donald Trump
had the wisdom and the courage to say, to that
bipartisan consensus, we're not doing it anymore.

Speaker 9 (01:46:31):
Much of what the Senator said right there. I'm in
agreement with him on this. I watched it happen too.
I watched it to my communities, and we talk about that.

Speaker 22 (01:46:38):
We're in agreement that we bring those home. The issue
is Donald Trump is talking about it. Kamala Harris has
a record two.

Speaker 9 (01:46:44):
Hundred and fifty thousand more manufacturing jobs just end out
of the IRA may.

Speaker 7 (01:46:48):
Respond to that, Yes, so I appreciate that. So If
you notice what Governor Waltz just did is he said,
first of all, Donald Trump has to listen to the experts.
And then when he acknowledged that the experts screwed up,
he said, well, Donald Trump didn't do new as good
of a job as the generalization.

Speaker 1 (01:47:03):
So what Tim Woltz is doing.

Speaker 7 (01:47:04):
And I, honestly, Tim, I think you got a tough
job here, because you've got to play whack a mole.
You've got to pretend that Donald Trump didn't deliver rising
take home pay, which of course he did. You've got
to pretend that Donald Trump didn't deliver lower inflation, which
of course he did. And then you simultaneously got to
defend Kamala Harris's atrocious economic record which has made gas,
groceries and housing unaffordable fair American citizens.

Speaker 4 (01:47:27):
And then there's this US manufacturing activity contracts for the
sixth straight month. Manufacturing's going down in this country.

Speaker 6 (01:47:37):
Where did you get that?

Speaker 4 (01:47:38):
Now?

Speaker 6 (01:47:38):
That is that newly released.

Speaker 4 (01:47:40):
Numbers released by the Institute for Supply Management. Now they
came out, Yeah, they came out Tuesday, and manufacturing PMI
closely watched. Measure of US Manufacturing Activity is held City
of forty seven point two for the month of September.
This is the sixth straight month below the fifty threshold,
indicating a continued contraction of activity manufacturing job six months

(01:48:01):
in a row. Too bad. Didn't have that?

Speaker 6 (01:48:06):
Yeah, well maybe he did.

Speaker 4 (01:48:07):
Yeah, maybe.

Speaker 11 (01:48:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:48:08):
He decided not just say you're a liar. You're a liar,
and he was.

Speaker 4 (01:48:11):
Being very diplomatic.

Speaker 6 (01:48:13):
Obviously Walls didn't have it.

Speaker 4 (01:48:15):
No, he sure didn't. Well, and if he did, he
sure wasn't going to share it. Seven forty one. Time

Speaker 5 (01:50:00):
Well, you've got options, so you might want to exercise
them because they did clear the accident two eighty eight
northbound after the south Loop, but there's a twelve minute delay.

(01:50:45):
of our top trending stories this morning.

Speaker 6 (01:50:47):
Here's shery seven fifty one now on news Radio seven
forty k TRH. Polls from the Liberal CNN and CBS
give jd Vance the win over ten Walls and last
night's VP debate. No reports of injuries are major damage,
but it was a magnitude four point zero earthquake striking
California's Presno County. First ever Peanuts strip It appeared on

Speaker 3 (01:51:19):
I live in clear Lake, Humble, reliable kt RH traffic
and weather.

Speaker 1 (01:51:24):
Next on the ten.

Speaker 4 (01:51:27):
We also found out that jd Vance, James David Vance
is a very good debater, no doubt about that, and
pretty diplomatic when you get right down to it. So
what was the reaction. I did want to just play,
you know, a Ted Cruz or some other politicians, because
you know how they're going to side no matter what.
If you're a Democratic, say Walls one, if you're Republican,

(01:51:48):
you're going to say that. You know that jd Vance won.
So I got a couple of writers, a couple of
print people that said, here's Rich Lowry, editor in chief
of National Review.

Speaker 44 (01:52:00):
I don't know how he possibly could have improved on
that performance, substantively, tonally, just everything in terms of the
message he was driving home. He brought it back to
the economy.

Speaker 14 (01:52:12):
And the American dream and how we need to revive it.

Speaker 44 (01:52:14):
He constantly made the point that Kamala Harris is in
power now and why hasn't she done all these wonderful
things that she's promising. The only thing that was difficult
for him, I think was the January sixth thing right
at the end.

Speaker 6 (01:52:26):
That's not his fault, you know.

Speaker 44 (01:52:27):
Donald Trump has created that vulnerability, but he deflected really
definitely there as well by getting it onto the censorship.
So I'm not sure when I've seen a better debate.

Speaker 6 (01:52:36):
Maybe I don't know.

Speaker 44 (01:52:37):
I have no use for him, obviously because my politics
are opposite, but maybe Barack Obama at his height in
two thousand and eight. But this was just an extraordinary
performance of stellar performance.

Speaker 6 (01:52:45):
I'm not surprised that he was great, because we've kind.

Speaker 44 (01:52:47):
Of seen it out on the campaign trail and in
various interviews with hostile interviewers. But I was a little
surprised at how betic Tim Waltz was. Came out of
the gate, nervous, hemming and hawing, and then just the
way he looked when he wasn't speaking on camera. He
looked nervous, he looked sad, he looked the fuddled.

Speaker 22 (01:53:07):
He kind of looks like the kid in the.

Speaker 44 (01:53:08):
Back of the classroom that can't keep up with the
lecture and is desperately trying to take notes.

Speaker 1 (01:53:14):
It was just a.

Speaker 22 (01:53:14):
Terrible total look picture.

Speaker 1 (01:53:17):
Great night for JD.

Speaker 4 (01:53:19):
Yeah, he was working real hard on taking those notes.
One more for you, Aleanna Johnson, Washington Free Beacon.

Speaker 45 (01:53:26):
I thought it was an extremely impressive performance on Vance's part,
and I have to imagine that Rich and many other
conservatives like me were thinking the same thing, which is
watching JD. Vance, it was clear that he prepared a lot,
not only in terms of the substance of his responses,

(01:53:48):
but also in terms of the style.

Speaker 1 (01:53:51):
He knows how to be.

Speaker 45 (01:53:52):
Combative, but he wasn't that combative tonight. He came across
as very, very likable, and I kept thinking, this is
the job everybody wishes Trump had done, because in terms
of the discipline of his responses, he brought every response
back to, well, you know who's been in office for
the past three and a half years, Kamala Harris and

(01:54:14):
started with the first response to the question that was
on Israel and Iran and talking about a world in
flames and the chaos that has engulfed the world over
the past three years, and he brought that back to
the doorstep of Kamala Harris. But for as good as
dvance was, Walls was extremely weak and people were talking about,

(01:54:39):
you know, the Harris campaign was deliberately lowering the bar
for Walls. CNN ran a story saying Tim Walls is
really really nervous, and there were questions about whether this
is a strategy so that he can go out there
and overperform.

Speaker 22 (01:54:53):
Well, they didn't actually lower the bar enough.

Speaker 4 (01:54:56):
It didn't help.

Speaker 6 (01:54:57):
In other words, he's a trained lawyer. Uh huh, don't
forget Yeah, yeah, up against a politician.

Speaker 4 (01:55:04):
Yeah, lawyers. Lawyers are generally very good at making closing arguments,
in particular. Listen, y'all have a great day. Thank you
for listening. We'll see you tomorrow morning, bright and early
