who survived to challenge from the DonaldTrump endorsed David Covey by less than four
hundred votes. If voters as SoutheastSex, they chose me, and it's

because they don't have a crime andthey know it. Trump spokeswoman Caroline Levitt,
We're gonna hear from Trump at fivepoint thirty. Meantime, the Biden
Trump debates a pair at least stillup for debate. The New York Post
sites sources at CNN that Team Bidenis already looking for an out of the
(04:08):
schedule June twenty seventh debate with DonaldTrump. GOP strategist Flat Davidiac expected this.
I think the Biden team used thepresentation of a potential debate and the
acceptance of the debate as a wayto buy time and to really quiet the
concern. I think if there wassome way for Biden and the good team
to get out of the debates,are going to take that opportunity. Evil
(04:30):
these Biden may use a conviction thatTrump's New York trial as an excuse to
get out of the debate. Biden'steam has already demanded things like no live
audience and the ability to mute Trump'smicrophone. Coreyolson, Who's radio seven to
forty KTRH. It's now five ohfive well led by GOP Congressman Thomas Massey
and backed by Chip Roy of Texas. There's new legislation now to end the
(04:50):
Federal Reserve. Economist Joe Griffiths says, even if it doesn't pass, the
message is getting louder. It isreally indicative of a growing sense that our
central bank has acted threatlessly that causedthe American people a lot of pain.
Former Texas Congressman Ron Paul we shouldpoint out try to abolish the FED every
(05:14):
year from nineteen ninety nine to twentythirteen. The Central Bank may not be
lowering interest rates this year after all, and is also changing its long stated
goal of two percent inflation. Itis moved sideways, and that's raised questions
in my mind, is the disinflationaryprocess continuing or are we landing to more
of a three percent inflation level.Minneapolis Fed President there Neo Kashgari on in
(05:40):
CNBC bidens raised prices on everything,retirement account balances too. That is,
stock prices have also hit their highestlevels in two years. Now. It
looks good and if you had beena good saver, you've benefited. It's
a combination of market appreciation and consistentcontributions into retires. Yeah. Financial planner
(06:01):
Richard rosso of and Fidelity Investments isadding that the average four O one case
savings rate that did go up peoplesave more a record high at fourteen point
two percent increase of rate. There'salso this hospital costs skyride rocketed seven point
seven percent in the last month.Healthcare expert David Bellott says he saw it
(06:24):
coming. Hospital pricing has been onan exponential curve for over a decade compared
to commercial goods, television, cellphones, other things, Affordable Care Act
anyone. The increase the largest inthirteen years. It's now five oh seven.
Legislation proposed in New York to limithow social media companies can use algorithms
(06:46):
and user data to profit off children, well, it's facing an uphill battle.
These laws could affect how social mediaadvertises to children. It was very
profitable for advertisers to target these peopleand then the social media companies to serve
those ads to the targeted audience.For these products are appealing to fourteen to
eighteen year olds, Privacy attorney TravisKrabtree told KTRH algorithms that suck kids into
(07:12):
social media binges are also a targethere. That's what makes the product predictive.
That's why pittok is way better thanall the other short video platforms.
Their algorithm keeps people watching and keepspeople doing it. Crabtree says. The
good news is most social media sitesdo already have parental controls that can be
used to limit online time. EthanBuchanan News Radio seven forty KTRH Stros lost
(07:32):
again to Seattle four two pre gametonight seven thirty on Sports Talk seven ninety
and here on KTRH. I'm ShereffFryer on news radio seven forty KTRH.
I live in the Heights. Ilive in Spring, kingw Next on the
ten Your Faster Commute on seven fortyKTRH, find hi. I've believe it
(07:54):
is our time here in Houston's morningnews. Right, you remember Moving Home
Alone? Right? Home Alone?Back in nineteen ninety, McCall culkin is
the kid. The first of all. The plot of the movie was stupid.
Nobody is leaving a kid home alone? Nobody, nobody can You don't
get to the airport, You'll geton a plane without one of your kids
and not being able to account forone of your kids. They caring that
(08:15):
so efficient professional appearing mother. Yes, yes, stupid. It was a
stupid plot. Goofyr dad. Right, They're all all answered. All that
all arose back there in the nineteenninety you did well. The house they
used, the exterior anyway of thehouse they used for Home Alone is up
for sale and you could buy itif you have a five point twenty five
(08:41):
million dollar budget, which is significantlymore than the last time it's sold,
which was twenty twelve. It soldfor one point eight five million, So
that's a two hundred and thirty onepoint two percent increase. You think somebody
thinks that maybe it's worth more thanit's worth just because it was used in
the movie, or did they doimprovements, Well, they probably did some
(09:03):
improvements. It's a big house,five bedroom, six baths. It's at
six seventy one Lincoln Avenue in Winnetka, Illinois. That's a suburb forty miles
north of Chicago, just off LakeMichigan. House exterior used as the McAlister
family home for two movies Home Aloneand Home Alone Too Lost to New York.
House was built in nineteen twenty one. It is nine one hundred square
(09:26):
feet has two laundry rooms. Idon't know why you need two laundry rooms,
because it's a long way to carrylaundry through nine thousand square feet.
The just book went upstairs next tothe bedrooms upstairs downstairs, I guess two
laundry rooms, a gym, aprivate movie theater room, and an indoor
sports court. Well, there youhave it. They are. It's already
been viewed on Zillo five hundred thousandtimes since it was listed on May twenty
(09:50):
fourth. Just the other day as. They sold for one point five to
eighty five million in two thousand andtwelve. And that's all you need to
know about that. Don't say anythingabout who owns it other than the interior
of the home revamped home there asa minimal modern black and white style,
(10:11):
looking very different from the home ofthe movie. It doesn't. It looks
the same from the outside, butit doesn't look at all like we do
movie. They moderate you know what, they probably never used the interior.
They probably just used the exterior anddid it all in the movie set,
so it never it probably never lookedthe way it did in the movie the
inside. Whoever owned it? Whatdid they use? The gym? Maybe
(10:33):
gyms are kind of a wasted spaceif you don't use them. Shoot hoops,
I guess five ten? Time fortraffic and weather together. What house
I always wanted? What's that,skuy Mike? I want the Walton's House?
Is that real? I wonder whereit is the house to where they
did? I think it is?And I want to say it's either in
Virginia or West Virginia. Yeah tothe two. You know what house I
don't want? I don't want theAmityville House. These are all famous houses
(10:56):
that you could just see in yourmind. Right, Yeah, I don't
need that house either. Let's youknow what, let's put our hard hats
on here. We've got let's see, let's go to the Fred Hartman Bridge
and check it out. And sofar, going both ways, what a
beautiful view is we have Jeff Marrthis morning both ways between Baytown and Laporte.

But it dropped the temperature from aboutninety two to sixty seven degrees. And

you by Morow Mechanical. It's Houston'sMorning News, brought to you by New
South Windows solutions. Now back toJimmy and Schera with the info you need
(12:41):
to take on the day. Youknow, I realized that I missed some
of the some of the crazier claimsthat Pete Buddha Judge made about climate change
on CBS Sunday morning, including onehe made involving airline in airliner turbulence,
He's blame with that at climate change. It's too bad you got such a
(13:03):
bumpy ride. It's climate change.Where's the hands of maddening? We really
are wackos. Trump says more onwhat he said in some reaction to it,
coming up next. First, though, it's fine, funny, let's
do a little traffic and weather together. Sky Mike's a little bit bored.
Hey, by the way, Yeah, while you're bored, I guess who
got caught up in that hearty disasteryesterday, hardy hardy toll wave disaster.
(13:24):
Really yeah, I was right behindit. Oh, it's a good thing
you were listening to it. Igot video of it if you want to
see it. I still that overturnedvehicle. Was there some kind of crane
thing involved in the there's a cranetrying to get that thing right side up
again. Yeah, totally wow.That do you know what? That's why
we have traffic here every ten minutesevery morning, and stuff changes just like
that. So we got to payattention here. So so far we cleared
(13:46):
this one thing we had on theSouth Belt south Belt westbound. That was
a very minor hiccup. It's outof the way. Looks like we're good.
From the toll bridge all the waydown. Let's go back up and
look at that toll bridge southbound.Nope, the second she hasn't started yet
coming over from the north Shore downto Deer Park. So it's a good
time if you're going to get onthe next five or ten minutes out,
(14:07):
it's a good timing. But ifyou're fifteen minutes behind now, I would
jump on six to ten instead.Rest of your freeways rock. We'll check
your visors at five thirty. TheGenerator Supercenter, dot Com Traffic Center Promo

Jump it right now seventy at yourofficials Severe Weather station News Radio seven

TRHR. Headlines are sponsored by MoralMechanical. The Jury and the Donald Trump
Accounting Trials should begin its deliberations todayafter getting instructions from that judge polease find
(14:54):

Should I learned to play football?The latest news anytime at KTURH dot com.
(15:16):
Our next update is at the bottomof the oun real small for football.
Sharet can't life, It's stop andgo. Well, just go to
keep up with our steady flow ofupdates. To continue onward ride with News
Radio seven kt r H. Cannickexcept it don't forget it scary as it
(15:43):
guess, it's just tu plent gamespull it'students, just a bunch of hair
moving around up there. That's that'swhat's causing the bumpy ride. It's not
climate change. But Secretary Pete BuddhaJudge was trying to convince. I don't
(16:03):
think he was doing a very goodjob either. Even the mainstream media wasn't
buying this line about turbulence being causedby climate change. Here he is making
his case with some rebuttal on theother end from Mark Burno We've talked to
him before from Climate Depot. Herewe go. The reality is the effects
of climate change are already upon usin terms of our transportation indications that turbulence
(16:27):
is up by about fifteen percent.That means assessing anything and everything that we
can do about it. Turbulence canhappen, and sometimes it can happen unexpectedly.
Our climate is evolving, our policiesand our technology and our infrastructure have
to evolve accordingly too. What SecretaryPete is doing here is continuing this absurd
(16:48):
tradition. At the Department of Transportation. During the Obama administration, they did
a study saying that fatal car crasheswere rising due to climate change, or
they're worried climate change was going toimpact that. What he's saying about airline
turbulence is insane. He quoted somefifteen percent number. The only data,
the only study that anyone can claimis one study looking at twenty years,
(17:10):
and it was based on climate modelsof one spot in the North Atlantic.
The actual data from thirty years ofairline turbulence clearly shows that even though flights
have increased, number of passengers haveincreased, there's been no change in the
reported actual physical reports of turbulence.So they're using a computer model to try
to scare people, claiming that they'reup. This is the height of absurdity.
(17:32):
I'm surprised he didn't blame the failureof the EV charging station on climate
change, but why not. Wenow have, by the way, the
Washington Post doing an article saying takecold showers in order to prevent climate change.
The whole media has gone nuts theadministration. This is just unscientific clap
trap that Secretary Pete is talking aboutairlines, linking it to climate change with
(17:55):
turbulence. Last time it took acold shower and purpose was probably when I
was about eighteen years old. Ithad nothing to do with climate change.
You know, I go away fora week and I come back and I
just have to deal with y'all toomuch. That's the problem. When you're
not around, the dystosterone level getsout of control in this place. That's
why we got to have you aroundto balance things out, Sheriff rar Man.
(18:19):
What else was I going to say? Oh? The other thing?
That that that that struck me aboutwhat Peter Bludder Judge was trying to sell
on this whole climate change thing.It is that. I'm surprised we haven't
heard that claim, at least Ihaven't on the local news from our weather
people, you know, all thesestorms we've had lately. They'd love to
tell you how dangerous it is.They'd love to tell you, you know,
(18:41):
to warn you to stay inside anddon't go outside because it's too hot
for goodness sakes. But I haven'theard anybody at least directly blame climate change
for, you know, the stormyperiod we're going through right now. Five
twenty six. It's time to takea look at your money, Courtney Donaho,
good morning, well, good morningTommy. It's also looking like a
(19:02):
tough day a head on Wall Street. Stocks are looking at a lower open.
Dowt features right now down two hundredand twenty points, the Federal Reserve
is focusing on evidence that inflation iscooling stock. Starting the training week yesterday
with the mixed session, the SMPfinished little change, with the Dow dropping
two hundred and seventeen points. Techshares drove the NASDAC to another all time
high. Conoco Phillips is said tobe in advanced talks to acquire small Arrival
(19:26):
Marathon Oil. Adding Marathon would broadenConico's footprint in domestic shale fields from Texas
to North Dakota. There's been awave of mergers in the oil and gas
industry, with producers looking to cutcosts and shares of American airlines tumbling this
morning in the pre market, thecarrier cutting its profit outlook heading into the
crucial summer travel season. Airlines havebeen trying to capitalize on strong demand coming
(19:49):
out of the pandemic, even ashigh costs weigh on profitability. I'm courting

Radio seven forty KTRH. It istime now for the news. Here's Sheriff
(21:41):
Ryer Morning. Everyone is now fivethirty two on news Radio seven forty KTRH
and our top story this hour.This is all election hunting. Election interferior
Donald Trump saying what little he isallowed to say is still gagged. This
was outside of court. The jurywill get the case today. After yesterday's
closing arguments in that Manhattan sham trial, the prosecution finally revealed the underlying crime
(22:08):
that former President Donald Trump is accusedof. It's a fika violation. That's
the Federal Election Campaign Act. Essentially, Trump is accused of engaging in a
conspiracy to unlawfully influence the twenty sixteenelection by suppressing negative stories about himself.
M M Fox's Nate Foy reporting there, Biden campaign tried to grab some attention
(22:30):
in the trial in Manhattan. Theyuse the actor Robert de Niro as a
weapon. He doesn't belong in mycity. I don't know where he belongs,
but he surely doesn't belong here talkingabout Trump, Trump campaign called de
Niro a quote washed up actor.Other things that make you go hmm.
(22:52):
The President visited Hallie Biden. That'sthe widow of his son Bo and oh
yes, the lover of Hunter.Yeah, he went to visit her Sunday
night. She's expected to testify inthe federal gun trial of her former lover,
Hunter Biden. She took up withthem after her husband died. Meantime,
the judge overseeing the bribery trial ofNew Jersey Democrat Senator Bob Menendez has
(23:17):
ruled that the prosecution cannot use thosetext messages related to getting aid for Egypt
as evidence. The Feds call thosetexts crucial to their case. It's now
five point thirty three. Texas HouseSpeaker Dade Feeland has survived a primary runoff
challenge by David Covey, winning byless than a thousand votes, but six
(23:38):
pro choice school pro choice, Iguess pro school choice. Yeah. Republicans,
including former Trump spokesperson Katrina Pearson,beat sitting House incumbents. What we
are seeing is a real renegotiation,and in some ways a very contentious renegotiation
(24:00):
over what it means to be aconservative in Texas. You tease James Henson
on Austin TV and Houston, MollyCook leads Jarvis Johnson in that Democrat state
Senate race. Caroline Cain leads Kennetho'marui in the Republican race to challenge the
Democrat incumbent Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher. Elsewhere, Texas Republican Congressman Tony Gonzalez he beat
(24:23):
back the challenger, Brandon Herrera ina runoff, thanks to help from actor
Matthew McConaughey, who did a robocall for the incumbent. Matthew does not
get involved in any race that Iknow of other than mine, So I
was excited about that. Yeah,remember at one time McConaughey was floated as
a gubernatorial candidate here in Texas.Economy a major factor in our upcoming elections,
(24:47):
and the stock market can be atool to predict election outcomes. So
what is the market now saying aboutNovember? And at the end of the
day, if people think in thefuture things will be better, then they
start buying stocks today. They don'twait until the future. Heritage Foundation economists
EJN. Tony. He told KTRHthe stock market doing well right now is
(25:10):
assigned that people are hopeful for aTrump win. The NASAC closed above the
seventeen thousand mark for the first timeever on Wall Street yesterday, the Dow
lost two hundred and sixteen points,so those are the old companies. Futures
were down by another two hundred atone point while we slept. That Gulf
Coast storm two weeks ago here didup to eight billion dollars in damage in
(25:32):
juston and now another thirty nine thousandCenter Point customers are in the dark.
After yesterday's storms, it looked likea teacup. I mean we saw the
ground cracking around it and then itjust stepped right over and there it is
laying in the middle of the street. Thank goodness that man. With our
TV partner, Channel two. Thenumber of outages were over three hundred thousand
(25:55):
at one time. Some downtown streetsblocked off again because of the falling glass
from higher buildings first damaged by thestorm. Two weeks ago, a sixteen
year old Magnolia construction worker was killedin a collapse caused by that weather.
Yesterday, it was a collapse ofa home under construction. Five point thirty
six is our time. Skipping outon your appointment it ends up costing all
(26:15):
of us. Businesses now are implementingcancelation and no show fees. But what
people are trying to do is getpeople to make it stick to the commitment,
and most importantly, do so ina way that does not require them
to charge a late fee. Yeah, customer service expert Richard Wyloon there,
(26:36):
He's told KTRH that not showing upfor a scheduled appointment costs the business twice
the revenue, and it's a wayto cut down on that lost money for
these small businesses. A new medicalreview shows that modified RNA you know what
you had in the COVID vaccines mayactually contribute to the development of cancer.
Doctor Mary Tally Bowden, who hassays, look, those shots were just
(27:00):
rushed. This is why most productswe don't put on the market for five
ten years with a brand new technologythat we've never used in humans before.
It's why we need to take theseCOVID shots off the market so people are
not harmed further. Yeah, whiledoctor Boden has won big court battles,
(27:21):
she's still battling the Texas Medical Boardover treating COVID patients with ivermectin and other
conventional medicines. Says the vaccine shouldbe halted until more research is done about
its effects. Now we know thatsome of doctor Anthony Fauci's top advisors were
deleting emails in order to avoid Freedomof Information Act request, it's quite likely
(27:45):
that it did come from that lab. Okay, if anybody with the brain
sort of could have thought, wasat least a real possibility at the time,
because, as John Stewart famously saidin twenty twenty one, if there's
a giant chocolate Week in Hershey,Pennsylvania, maybe with chocolate factory. Investigative
reporter Alex Bearnson he was talking toktrch's Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Astros lose
(28:07):
to the Mariners four to two.The series continuing tonight pregame seven thirty on
Sports Talk seven ninety and here onKTRH, first pitch at eight forty.
I'm surebye Fryar on News Radio sevenforty KTRH. You like free stuff.
We all like free stuff. Guesswhat our Ihearts Radio app is free and
(28:27):
free. Never sounded so good.Getting tougher to keep the small town small
five thirty nine er at the timehere on Houston's Morning News. Just look
at a story here. Small townlife beckons for many Americans as they continue
to flee the big cities. AndI know you were home in Hollinsville for
a while. I was last weekwhen I was off here and you were
(28:47):
telling me you ran into a bunchof people that from the Houston area,
all from Houston. They recognized mefrom Houston, and they've now retired and
moved into the Hollinsville area. Howdo the folks in Hollisville feel about that?
I mean, is this kind ofshocking? It is? We have
traffic gems now. I'm never usedto have traffic jams. Well, we
only have like three lights in town, so you may have to put up
(29:08):
a few more, I guess.So yeah, I'm hearing stories too,
like Shiner, for example, Shineris unbelievable. What's happening there is there's
only like a couple thousand people wholive there. At least there used to
be well twenty and forty, Ithink, is what the population sign says.
You know, they're part of LevacaCounty, right, and we've got
seventeen thousand people in the county.Howls Sill's the county seat. Everyone knows
(29:29):
Shiner, but Howsill's the county seat, right right, seventeen thousand people and
growing, yeah, growing by leapsand bounds. But this seems to be
this is not just happening here,It's happening all across America where people are
leaving the big cities. Kind ofhad the trend there until COVID, you
know, back in the nineties andearly two thousands of especially young people moving
back into the city because I wantto get their kids into the schools right
(29:51):
at the end of the day,Like they're safer in these small town schools
well, and safer in general too. I think crime is driving this.
Schools certainly are are driving this.Young people, as you said, who
were finally ready to start a family, maybe a little later than they intended
to. You know, rural peoplethin for themselves, whether it's self defense
or whether it's just taking care ofthings around the house. Yea, you
(30:14):
know the handyman. You don't pickup the phone and call people to come
do it for you. You takecare of your own yards. And I'm
curious, what do you think qualifiedto see? I've always thought I grew
up in a small town that wehad about twenty five thousand people lived in
that town. Oh that's big tomeet up to me, that was a
small town. But what do youthink a couple of thousand. Well,
like I said, twenty seven ageis what the population of hallser was when
(30:36):
I was a kid. It's belowthat now. It's more like twenty five
hundred people about this. You know, we're a little bit larger than Shiner,
Yeah, Espreating others Shiner and Hallisvilleand Yoakam and Moulton and all these
other little community A lot of smalltowns, and you've got different schools,
high schools. You know, Hallsvillehas two, the public school and the
Catholic school, right, I don'tknow. It's a different way of life,
(30:56):
it really is. It is standingin line for the barbecue and three
people from Houston, who, well, who will my daughter married so and
so? And I said, oh, you know, and who which one
is that I know that family?Oh well he's so and so. Oh,
I said, he used to workfor my dad. So. I
mean that's the kind of conversation.I think. The other thing about it
is too small towns are generally,I'm sure that's changing, but generally more
(31:21):
affordable than big towns are, especiallyas it released to real estate. You
know that's so expensive. Well,real estate's climbing. Everything's yeah, yeah,
better, yeah, exactly five fortyone time for traffic and weather together.
Parkington is on the colonial map ofTexas, the old historic map,
you know, when we were underMexican rule. It was actually on the
(31:41):
map before Houston or Dallas existed.How about that? How many people live
in talking to gosh, it's athree a school, but it's not a
town. It's never been a town, and we don't want it to be.
It's like where I am up byclimb. Yeah, yeah, what
worst climb. I don't see it. Yeah, and you know, before
I worked across the street with thosedinosaur farts, no one knew where was
all right. Smith and Louisiana Streetdowntown. I'm still showing a closure.
(32:04):
Somebody correct my work if I'm wrong. Smith Louisiana Street between P's and Walker

Well, that's the good old days. Five fifty three is of a time
here in Houston's warning news interest rateswent up rather quickly, and now they
(35:45):
are staying there and there's no signthat the Fed is going to lower them.
I think they're you know, completelywalking back any statements about lowering interest
rates during this particular year, certainlyduring the fiscal year Joe Griffiths joined US
Research Felt the Heritage Foundation. Beforewe get to all that, though,
we have a state representative, ThomasMassey, US Representative Thomas Massy should say,
(36:07):
Republican from Kentucky introducing the HR.Eighty four to twenty one, the
Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act. Hethinks the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve and Federal Reserve Banks should bedemolished, abolished, let go no more
Fed. What do you think ofthat idea? Well, I wholeheartedly agree
that the Federal Reserve has been destructiveto our economy really dating back to its
(36:31):
founding more than one hundred years ago, and in particular, if you look
at the past few years, theinflation that we're experiencing today is largely at
the hands of the FED. Becausewe know the FED financed the explosion of
government spending. It turned in brillionsof dollars to buy a government debt that
allowed both the Trump reckless spending andPresident Biden's reckless spending to be furthered.
(36:52):
So I think without a doubt weneed to have new rules put in place
on the FED to ensure that theycannot continue in such dangerous behavior going forward.
Yeah, they're not elected, they'reappointed, and they had to run
amok. I mean, Treasury SecretaryJennet Yellen used to be it's a FED.
I mean, the whole thing becamevery political. A lot of power
(37:14):
in the FED. And let meask you this, with all this move
to digital currency, with the FEDbeing in charge of being able to push
the buttons on me and how Ispend, not too happy about that.
No, And we need to keepin mind the powers that the Futter Reserve
has are because Congress gave them thosepowers. And when you talk about digital
(37:36):
currency, it's very important that theFED not stray beyond it's already expansive mission.
Congress has not given the Futteral Reservethe power to create digital currencies.
And you're exactly right, those digitalcurrencies, if in the hands of the
Federal Reserve or the government written large, it'd be very dangerous. It looks
something like China, where the governmentwould have the power to turn on,
turn off your currency, access toyour accounts, trace your actions, decide
(38:00):
while you're spending it, and ofcourse put in place a social credit score
that could be based on things suchas how carbon intensive your activities are.
So one of the things that Congressesare working in right now is actually precluding
specifically forbidding the FED from issuing thosecurrencies. But the bottom line is the
FED does not have that power now, and I'm really discouraged to even see
(38:22):
them exploring the notion of issuing one. It'll never happen, but is far
the answer here a balance budget Joelbalanced budget amendment, In other words,
you can't spend more than you're takingin. Well, I'm so glad you
brought that up, because if wewere to shut down the FED without actually
having in place a balanced budget,that means that Congress would have the full
power to issue more Fiat currency.Ziat currency itself has already proven to be
(38:45):
destructive, but at least the FederalReserve is somewhat independent from the federal government,
meaning they're not just running the printingprincess to fund all of government operations.
They're just funding part of government operators, the printing president. And we've
already seen how harmful that is withthe inflation in the last few years.
If we were to shut down theSAD, moving all the powers to print
(39:07):
that currency straight in the hands ofCongress, it would be a disaster,
more akin to what we saw inArgentina recently. And of course, Venezuela,
you're exactly right. We have toget federal spending under control. It's
largely because Congress passed these enormously bloatedbudget that the Fed already resorted to the
printing presses over the past few years. We have to get that spending under
(39:29):
control. And by the way,it's not just Democrats that have been reckless
spenders. If you look at,for instance, the big COVID spending bills
that were passed several years ago,those are passed with overwhelming Republican and Democrat
support. Yeah, so this thisrequires us taking a close to cut ourselves
as well. All right, sir, thank you so much. Good to

convicted of this tense or Trump sayssomething that's unforgivable and we won't take the
stage with somebody like that, whateverpretense he could be. I think they're
going to try to do everything theycan to avoid these debating. The New

(44:23):
is convicted there in Manhattan, thatmeans Biden may have an excuse to refuse
to debate him. It's now sixo five, Kash you missed at Kentucky
Congressman Thomas Massey has introduced a billto abolish the Federal Reserve. Suare of

(44:45):
Many of us who are free marketeconomists and supporters agree on is that
the Putter Reserve has actedherently over thepast few years, hence the forty year
high inflation. But Griffith says it'snot just the FED. Clear that Congress
has the power to resolve a largepart of this problem beyond the Federal Reserve.

things go hand in hand just alittle bit, a little bit, And
(48:29):
it's not just you know, it'snot just California. Restaurants are kind of
in trouble at a lot of placesbecause their margins have always been very,
very low. You know, peopleget matted restaurants for charging more for the
food. The reality is is theirmarkup, just like with grocery stores,
their markup is really small. It'syou know, they're they're having to pass
(48:49):
along the cost of what it coststhem to get the products that they serve,
you know, the meat for theburgers, the chicken, whatever.
It is so all costing them more, whether it's coming from the whole sail
or if it's coming from the parentcompany, coming from from the wholesalers within
the state. They've got all thesedifferent kind of trucking rules there, sure,
and emission rules and you know whatthe cost of fuel is. Regulations.
(49:12):
Yeah, I mean, on andon and on, talk about a
regulated society. Yeah, it reallyis. And this is what you get
there. You are a lot ofrestaurants will be closing in California, and
I wonder if if it will slowdown the amount of restaurants opening even here
in Texas, if we're going tosee fewer and fewer operators wanting to expand
you either expand their franchises or addnew restaurants for fear that it just it's
(49:35):
just too cost prohibitive to do it. You know, it's really funny those

to date with used Radio seven KTRHsix twenty two. Now Here in Houston's
(54:22):
morning news will there be debates.We have two that are supposedly scheduled,
But Cindy Adams, who's the gossipdiva for the New York Post, thinks
there's a behind the scenes effort toget Joe out of having to debate.
As I mentioned going into this segment, the first possibility is that Trump gets
convicted in his New York trial andtherefore becomes a quote unquote convicted felon.
(54:44):
He wouldn't want to have to debatea convicted felon, right, Glad Vidic
joins us political analyst. Can yousee that ploy potentially working for the Biden
camp. Yes, I can certainlysee it working as an excuse sticking out
of debate. Would it work asa way to free Joe from the responsibility
(55:05):
of actually having to debate his Republicanopponent, I don't think so. I
think I think they've kind of paintedthemselves into a corner here, mostly because
of Joe's failed policies and his reallyadvanced cognitive decline. That the Biden team,
you know, agreed to the debates, and it was, but it's
(55:27):
less important that they agreed to debatesthan they than they would have the debates.
The reason they did so is theywanted to buy time. They knew
that they could not refuse and turndown to debate because it would make Joe
look weak, so they accepted itbecause it would buy them time. To
say, yeah, of course we'regoing to take them off. It's kind
of like going into a bar andtalking, opening your mouth and saying all
(55:50):
kinds of stuff and then offering totake the guy outside, and then when
he says, yeah, let's gooutside, and you know, oh,
hang on a second, I gotto pay my nails first. So it
was just an act of desperation ontheir part. You know, this sounds
like this has become a very desperaterace, and it seems to be all
about momentum. Everything they can doto slow this juggernaut that has been Donald
Trump, and instead all their actionsseem to keep fueling it. Come back
(56:15):
with a guilty verdict there in Manhattan. How does that change the race in
any way in your mind? Well, Joe Biden's always been very dismissive of
anything that President Trump has had tosay, and this would give more fuel
for that fire. This would givehim, as he sees it, it
gives him carte blanche to be ableto say, I'm not going to take
(56:37):
anything from a convicted felon. Weall know that Joe, He's going to
say things like you know, JoeBiden's going to say things that we all
know Donald Trump was convicted in courtof defrauding and lying or whatever it is,
and he's going to use that asa blanket statement to presage anything that
(56:58):
he then blames them for. Hecan attack any single one of Trump's policies
by just prefacing it by saying,well, Donald Trump is a convicted fella,
and therefore x y Z. It'sa crutch. It's a crutch because
there is no substantive way to attackPresident Trump's policies on a level that's equivalent
(57:20):
to, uh, the intellect ofthe American people. What Americans know,
what Americans see is the policies ofJoe Biden have led to their their disabilities
or their their their their problems,their challenges that they're overcoming, their inability
to get to work, their inabilityto hold a job down, their inability
to maintain their credit. Uh.And if Joe can dismiss it with something
(57:44):
as tawdry as this, he'll doit all right, very quickly. I
just want to get your quick thoughton Robert de Naro being paraded out by
the Biden campaign yesterday after after theTrump trial in order to make his case
for getting rid of Trump. Wouldyou think of that move entirely scripted,
entirely based in Hollywood. We knowthat, we know Biden depends on cheap
(58:07):
lines and Robert de Niro did notfail to deliver. Okay, fair enough,

He happens to be corrupt. DonaldTrump outside of that court room with
the judge in the Manhattan bookkeeping trialwill finally give jury instructions, make them
public later this morning. Judge WanMershawn is expected to take about an hour
or so to instruct the jury onthe law. Then the seven men and

(01:02:35):
runoffs. They're in the books now. Dade Feelin he held off the challenge
from David Covey in the Beaumont areafor that seat in the House. That
means he could remain speaker. Thisis just a cage match within the Republican
Party. Six pro choice, Ineed to say pro school choice. Republicans,

including former Trump spokesperson Katrina Pearson,and beat the sitting House incumbents and
Houston. A couple of close racesthat have yet to be officially called.
Carolina Cain leads Kenneth o'moroui in theRepublican race to challenge Democrat incumbent Congresswoman Lizzie

(01:03:19):
Republican Congressman Tony Gonzalez. He defeatedthe challenger, Brandon Herrera in that
runoff with help from actor Matthew McConaughey, who did a robo call for the
incumbent. Gonzalez says, well,they bonded during the Uvaldi tragedy. Him
and I have worked hand in handalong with his foundation to really deliver on
the next aspect of security and mentalhealth. It's the first race McConaughey,
(01:03:45):
who is a Laredo native, hasgotten involved with after declining I should say
a Uvalde native has gotten involved inafter declining to run against Governor Greg Abbott
in twenty twenty two. Almost impossibleto correctly predict how elections will go as
we're learning, but they tell usthe stock market provides clues. As of
(01:04:06):
right now, the stock market likesTrump. The stock market tends to do
much much better when President Trump isahead in the polls as opposed to when
President Biden is ahead. Economist DJand Tony with the Heritage Foundation told KTRH
hope for a Trump victory is boostingstock prices as markets think, okay,
we'll get lower taxes, we'll getless burden some regulation under Trump administration.
(01:04:29):
As that becomes more likely, stockprices will tend to elevate, and Tony
says that the stock market doing wellright now really isn't a good sign for
Biden. Ethan Buchannan News Radio sevenforty KTRH. You know that Dericho storm,
the Durecho storm that hit Houston twoweeks ago. It did up to
eight billion dollars in damage according toCenter Point. Well, now another storm

three hundred thousand plus at one pointyesterday. Ten year old construction worker and
Magnolia killed in a home collapse duringthat storm. Strong wins seventy five miles
per hour straight line six thirty sixis our time. Well, you may
soon learn to regret regret skipping yourappointments because companies are now recouping their lost
(01:05:16):
revenue by instituting no show fees.And what it's really it's unfortunate it's had
to happen, but it's because manypeople are not thoughtful and kind and caring
enough about the business that they've madea reservation with or an appointment with to
actually bother to call them, tocancel, or to show up. Customer
service expert Richard Waylamb told kt RhIthinks it's going to become a more common

the side effects of the COVID vaccine, sher. A new review published last
month found that the modified RNA inthe vaccine may increase your chances of getting
cancer. We are definitely seeing strongstatistical signals with cancer and all ages for
(01:06:05):
both incidents and mortality. That isHouston doctor Mary taly Boden, who says
those cancer signals are eighteen to thirtythree times higher. The COVID shots were
not studied for risk of cancer,so there's legitimate concerns we take these shots
off the market. They're on thepediatric vaccine schedule. All children six months
(01:06:29):
and older are now expected to getthe shot. Jeff Biggs, News Radio
seven kt H. Yeah, noticeshe calls it shots, not vaccine.
Maybe rightfully. So. We nowknow that doctor Anthony Fauci's top advisors were

This is Hunter Biden's baby mama.Remember her. London Roberts, the
(01:07:41):
stripper from Arkansas. Why is itall I've mentioned Arkansas? I'm going back
to the Clinton days now. Whywhy is it all the crazy sex people
are all from RKETSA. It's leeveslike anyway. London Roberts is releasing her
book tell All book in August twentieth. In it, she will describe her
(01:08:01):
relationship with Hunter Biden with such wonderfulphrases as well. Here's a little tease
from it. He was sitting therewearing nothing but parrot boxer briefs, organizing
his pipes on the Rosemont Seneca desk, and I was sitting at Barack Obama's
actual chair from the Senate floor.I've got I don't figure out what happened
next to that desk or that chairas far as that goes. I'm guessing
(01:08:28):
that probably Hunter is not really excitedabout this book coming out. I mean,
it is a tell all. Butmy guess is is that this might
make up for London Robert's inability toget child support for so long from Hunter.
She'll certainly make a lot more money, I would guess from this book
than she ever went from child supportfrom Hunter Biden or acknowledgment from Joe Biden
(01:08:49):

fifty three is the time, andhe is whooping Biden's you know what is
(01:13:19):
behind in all the polls, especiallyin the battleground state poles, those numbers
just keep seemingly keep on growing.So Patrick Bett David was on Fox This
Day, Value team and founder talkingabout those dismal poll numbers for Biden,
and he just says, Hey,it's really simple. Trump is just out
working the guy business. In alife, it comes down to four things.
Whoever outworks, out improves, outstrategizes, and outlasts wins. Let's take
(01:13:45):
a look at this between Biden andTrump. Trump outworking. He gets one
day a week to campaign Wednesdays.His opponent has seven days right one on
seven us like a quarterback that getsseventy attempts Joe Biden, a quarterback only
gets ten attempts. The guy withthrow in ten attemps gets ten touchdowns.
The other guy cannot get a singletouchdown. So he got out work.
(01:14:06):
He's out improving because if you noticetwenty twenty, President Trump seemed a little
bit upset. His campaign was it'snot faire, it's not fair, it's
not fair. Twenty twenty four,it's optimism, unification, greatest country in
the world. We gotta make acomeback. Messaging has improved, uplifting.
You want to be around the guy. He seems optimistic, even though they're
doing all the stuff to him.Outwork out, improved, outstrategize. This
(01:14:29):
guy's got the audacity to go toNew York in AOC's county. Campaign is
shake hands with people, five,ten, fifteen, twenty five thousand people
show up. You're willing to tellme you have the audacity to come to
my city, New York. Eventhough the campaign manager for Biden today that
showed up, I don't know ifyou saw him. One not very famous
campaign manager, Vito Corleon, showedup today and he had to analyze this
to see if he can kind ofchange it up AKA Robert de Niro and
(01:14:53):
last, but not least, outlast. It's his biggest strength. Good luck
outlasting him when it comes up tocampaigning. There's no way pre that and
Biden can do that. When youlook at the polls right now, couple
embarrassing polls for Biden New York intwenty twenty, you win by twenty three
points, sixty one to thirty eight. Right now New York, he's only
(01:15:13):
got a nine point lead. Thisis Sieno poll. By the way,
you look at blacks voting in twentytwenty, they won twenty two percent.
A nine percent is what Trump gotwith the black votes. Ninety one percent
pretty much went to the other side. Trump's got twenty two percent now on
climbing. He's winning the business owners, he's winning the workers, he's winning
the black vote, he's winning theyoung vote, he's winning the people in
(01:15:35):
the middle Libertarian vote. You goto their convention, it starts off booing,
you don't give up, and itends with cheering. I mean,
this is how you go into thesetypes of moments to be able to win.
He's doing it. The only thing, the only thing I always say
is stay paranoid. You want himto run, You want Biden to be
the candidate. You don't want himto bring anybody else, But only the
paranoid survive. They're not going tolose this easily. Okay, Well,

We're going to hear from Trump atseven point thirty Biden Trump debates apparently still
up for debate. The New YorkPost sites sources at CNN that team Biden
(01:21:18):
is already looking for an out ofthe schedule June twenty seventh debate with Donald
Trump. GOP strategist Flat Davidia expectedthis. I think the Biden team used
the presentation of a potential debate andthe acceptance of the debate as a way
to buy time and to really quietthe concern. I think if there was
some way for Biden and his teamto get out of the debates, are
(01:21:40):
going to take that opportunity. Hebelieves Biden may use a conviction that Trump's
New York trial as an excuse toget out of the debate. Biden's team
has already demanded things like no liveaudience and the ability to mute Trump's microphone.

(01:22:00):
Roy, there is now new legislationto end the Federal Reserve. Economist Joel
Griffiths says, well, it won'tpass, probably, but that message is
certainly getting louder. This is reallyindicative of a growing sense that our central
bank has acted recklessly that caused theAmerican people a lot of pain, kept
(01:22:23):
interest rates low, kept printing money. Former Texas Congressman Ron Paul tried to
abolish the FED every year he wasin Congress between nineteen ninety nine and twenty
thirteen. Central Bank may not lowerinterest rates this year. They're now indicating
either they won't promise to stop raisingraids either. Can you rule out a

rate hike? No, I don'tthink anybody should. I don't think we
should rule anything out. Minneapolis FedPresident Nel Kashkari on CNBC. Bidenomics raising

(01:31:16):
KTRH. All right, we havea new driver of the elephant here in
Texas. His name is Abraham George, elected over the weekend in San Antonio
as the new chairman of the TexasGOP. Mister George, Welcome to News
radio seven forty k t RH.Are you gotta start with this? Are
you a little surprised that Dave Feelinwas able to pull off a primary victory
(01:31:38):
yesterday? And if you are,does that mean that one of the things
you're going to be working on islimiting access to the Republican primary to just
Republicans. Well, i gotta sayI'm not surprised, but I'm disappointed,
to be honest with you, DavidCovey would have been a much better choice
for the district. But people spoke, and like you said, most of
(01:32:03):
a very good amount of people camefrom the Democrat side to support him.
Last night, before I go tosleep, we were able to identify somewhere
between fourteen forty two or fourteen fortyeight people or Democrat primary supporters were on
(01:32:23):
his on his ballot this time.So, yeah, we will be closing
the primaries. That's a done dealat this point. The convention spoke clearly
about it. That's one of ourtop priorities. Yeah, we're going to
go into that in the next fewmonths. But in the meantime, you
know, won't be primaries again forsome time. So what do you do
(01:32:45):
as you take over the party?As we've got another legislative session coming at
us, and absolutely we've got torip in the fabric. A cage fight
is how some people call it herein the state of Texas. In differing
factions of the Report Party aided oneside, I would say, again by
the Democrats who are in the legislature. Yeah, well, with the party
(01:33:08):
is going to support a speaker whois not going to put Democrats as committee
chairs. That's clear. We havemultiple candidates at this point talking. We
have one, Tom Oliverson, who'salready announced, he's made the promise publicly
that he will not support Democrat chairs. So we have we have good mechanisms
(01:33:30):
in mechanisms in place at this pointto make sure that that's not happening.
I don't think date philm is goingto be the speaker. I don't think
the Republican legislators are going to gosupport him, even though he announced that
he's going to be. The partyis not going to be getting behind him
for to be the next speaker.That's just very clear for the time being.
Yeah, it would seem the governorthinks that enough change happened during this
(01:33:55):
primary season for Republicans that got ridof enough rhinos to put it that way,
you know, to get school choicethrough. You feel fairly confident that
school choice as an agenda item willmake it through the state legislature this time
around. I think so a lotof these new members are going to support
a school choice. What kind ofa school choice? That's a whole different
(01:34:15):
conversation. I don't think they're goingto support anything that has strings attached to
homeschooling or even private schools, SoI'm sure. I mean, this is
going to be a really conservative sessionregardless of who is the speaker, so
we're expecting good things coming out ofit. Yeah, your job really is
a chair is what just support toraise funding to raise What will you be
(01:34:41):
doing because you're not really that involvedin issues, are you? Well,
my whole campaign was the reason peopleelected me is because my campaign was I
don't want to just elect to Republicans, I want to hold them accountable.
And Matt Ronaldi, our former chair, did that and he moved the knee
all in conservative legislation. So wewill not be of writing bills, but
(01:35:08):
be sure that will be involved inpolicy making every single day. Okay,
what do you see is the toughestpart of your job wrangling your fellow Republicans
to get all on the same page. Yeah, you can say that,
and also holding a mcconnable. It'snot easy, because electing Republicans in state
(01:35:28):
of Texas is not that hard,but holding the mcconnable two priorities and to
our principles is the hardest party youOkay, Well, best of luck to
you, sir. Appreciate your timetoday. That's the new Texas GOP chair
Abraham George seven twenty six. Itis time to take a look at your
money. Whatdy, Donaho's here?Well, good morning, Jimmy. Stocks
are in the rud this morning,dew Future is down two hundred and twenty
(01:35:48):
five points. There are concerns fromtraders and interest rates will remain higher for
longer as inflationary pressures away In Americansoil this morning rising at eighty dollars a
barrel. Another attack on a shipin the Red Sea is adding to geopolitical
tensions in the Middle East. Oilhas risen this year due to output cuts
by OPEK. Major deal in theenergy industry, Conoco Phillips agreed to acquire
(01:36:12):
Marathon Oil and a deal valuing thecompany at about seventeen billion dollars. It
adds to a wave of recent megadeals as producers look for new drilling sites.
The company sees the deal closing inthe fourth quarter, pending regulatory approvals,
and more than half a million electricityconsumers are still without power in Texas
and over one thousand flights were canceleddue to the powerful storms yesterday. So

It's going after Joe Biden's political eponentbecause he can't do it himself,
Donald Trump. Outside of court yesterday, the jury will take the case in
the Manhattan sham trial later this morningto start their deliberations. Fox's Eric Sean
(01:38:46):
as more. Then Jodge will lookat the jurors and take about an hour
giving them their instructions. He basicallygives them the legal guidelines that must be
used as they sit in judgment ofthe former president. Dirductions lasting about an
hour, then they were retired tothe jury room for their deliberations. Court
resumes nine am our time. Bidencampaign trying to grab the attention though in
(01:39:10):
that in front of that court houseyesterday, they used actor Robert de Niro
as a Biden spokesperson weapon. Hedoesn't get blood on his hands, No
he doesn't. He directs the mobto do his dirty work for him.
He was talking about Trump. TheTrump campaign called de Niro a quote washed
up actor. Other things that makeyou go hm, well, Biden,
(01:39:34):
Joe Biden, the president paid avisit to his former daughter in law,
Hallie Biden, the widow of hisson BeO. This past weekend Sunday evening,
she's expected to testify in the federalgun trial of Oh Yeah, her
former lover, Hunter Biden. Shetook up with him after her husband died.
(01:39:54):
Meantime, the judge overseeing the briberytrial of New Jersey Democrat Senator Bob
Menendez rule that the prosecution cannot usethose text messages that they have their hands
on related to getting aid for Egyptas evidence in bribery. The Fed's call
those texts crucial to their case.Seven thirty three is the time Texas House
(01:40:17):
Speaker Dave Feelin he survived a primaryrunoff challenge by David Covey, endorsed by
Trump, but he won by lessthan a thousand votes. Six pro school
choice Republicans, though, including formerTrump spokesperson Katrina Pearson, did beat sitting
House incumbents. What we are seeingis a real renegotiation, and in some
(01:40:41):
ways a very contentious renegotiation over whatit means to be a conservative in Texas.
Yeah, that's UT's James Henson onAustin TV and Houston a paratite race
is still not officially called. MollyCook leading Jarvis Johnson in that Democrat primary
Senate race, States Caroline Cain leadsKenneth o'murui, and the Republican race to
(01:41:05):
challenge the Democrat incumbent Congresswoman Lizzy Fletcher. Texas Republican Congressman Tony Gonzalez. He
beat this challenger, Brandon Arrera,in a runoff that was got some help
though from actor Matthew McConaughey. Hedid a robo call for the incumbent.
Matthew does not get involved in anyrace that I know of other than mine,
(01:41:26):
So I was excited about that.McConaughey, as you know, floated,
was floated as a gubernatorial candidate inTexas at one time refused to run
against Abbott. Economy's a major factorin our upcoming presidential elections. In down
ballot stock market can be a tool, they say, to predict election outcomes.
So what is the market saying aboutthis November? And at the end
(01:41:49):
of the day, if people thinkin the future things will be better,
then they start buying stocks today.They don't wait until the future. Heritage

Gulf Coast storm two weeks ago didup to eight billion dollars in damage in

because of damage from yesterday's storms.The number of outages were over three hundred
thousand at one point yesterday. Somedowntown streets blocked off again because of falling
gas in the high glass in thehigh rise buildings first damaged by the storm
(01:42:35):
two weeks ago, and there wasa sixteen year old Magnoliac construction worker who
was killed in the collapse of abuilding under construction by the weather. Yesterday,
seven thirty six is our time.Well, we skip appointments sometimes can't
unavoidable, but guess what it maystart costing us? Businesses are having to
implement cancelation and no show fees.What people are trying to do is get
(01:43:00):
people to make it commitments, stickto the commitment, and most importantly,
do so in a way that doesnot require them to charge a late fee.
Customer service expert there Richard Way Lamb. He told kat orh not showing
up for a scheduled appointment actually coststhose businesses twice their revenue, and this
is a way to cut down onthat lost money. There's a new medical
(01:43:24):
research review that shows that modified rinna that is in the COVID shots may
contribute to cancer developments. Doctor MaryTally Bowden says the shots were rushed.
This is why most products we don'tput on the market for five ten years
with a brand new technology that we'venever used in humans before. So why
(01:43:47):
we need to take these COVID shotsoff the market so people are not harmed.
Further, Doctor Bowden, i shouldsay, still battling with the Texas
Medical Board over the way she treatedher COVID patients with conventional medicines and says
these shots should be halted until moreresearch is done. Doctor Anthony Fauci's top
(01:44:08):
advisors we have been revealed to havebeen deleting emails to get around requests for
freedom of information. It's quite likelythat it did come from that lab.
Okay, if anybody with the brainsort of could have thought was at least
a real possibility at the time,because as John Stewart famously said in twenty

H. You know, there's nota lot of new ideas under the sun,
but I have to admit this oneintrigues me just a little bit.
There's a customizable soda shop that's justnorthern opened up in northern Kentucky. I
think it's roots go back to NewYork City. This is not the only
(01:45:15):
one. It's called drink alogy.But the idea behind it is I don't
I don't think we have any here. The idea behind it is is that
they sell any kind of soda youwant, any kind with a whole bunch
of other flavors, and you cancustomize any drink you want. You can
(01:45:36):
put together all kinds of combinations,separate syrups, yep and their co two
the yeah, all that stuff,and I'll give it. Yeah, I
give you a couple examples. Theseare ones that they they you know,
that are on their menu that youcan get a butterscotch brew, root beer,
(01:45:56):
butterscotch and vanilla cream. That soundspretty good. They might be tasty.
What is it supposed to taste like? Though? You've got all these
supposed to taste Are they enhancing flavorsor are they competing flavors? I would
think those go pretty good together,because you know, cream would go very
well with root beer, just likea root beer float, you know,
(01:46:18):
butterscotch. I don't know how thatworks with root beer, but but it'd
be interesting to taste it. Here'sanother one, doctor berry, doctor pepper,
raspberry piree and vanilla cream, Afruity dew, mountain dew, strawberry
piree and manga yeah, mango paraelime in the coconut coke, coconut cream
(01:46:45):
and fresh lime. Okay, that'sfine, Yeah, yeah, I know,
I know you're They do have anorange cream suckle though too orange orange
of soda, vanilla and half andhalf. I like mixing flavors. Yeah,
yeah, the strude it's an interestingI put butterscotch in my in some
(01:47:05):
of my stroodles. Put chocolate andcherry rather than raisins in some of my
stroodles. It's not a traditional strudle. It's it's not always either. What
the flavored is is the amount andwhat you're making for your set. You're
making it for yourself right exactly,and that's what this is all about.
You can you can customize any kindof a so so do you want to
try interesting idea seven forty one dimefor traffic and weather together? Sky Mike

(01:52:15):
a messaging problem. James Carville complainingabout that again yesterday. Here he is
with some reaction from Greg Gutfeld.We keep wondering why these young people aren't
coming home to the Democrats, whichis why blacks are not coming home to
the Democrats, because democratic messaging isfully That's why, and why are we
(01:52:38):
forgiven student loans for people that goto Harvard, which, according to Scott
Galloway quite accurately, accurately, isnothing but a hedge fund that has classrooms.
Well, they got a fifty twobillion dollar purpose. Why are a
taxpayer is going to bay a lease? People out? Grandma Clampett has a
point. He represents the second halfof the equation, screaming at the first
(01:53:01):
half, the part where the Demsgo, you know, don't you don't
vote for Trump? Well, thesecond part of the equation is what have
you got instead? So basically whathe's screaming at the party is saying,
you are not telling people what youare going to offer. You're just saying,
(01:53:23):
don't vote for that guy that's notworking. You know what he is.
He's like a therapist who's had enoughof his patient, right, you
know, the patient comes in foran hour and just complains. That's a
democratic party. They're just complaining,complaining, complaining, but they keep doing
the same thing. So he's basicallygoing, like what people are gonna go,
(01:53:43):
like what you They don't want fourmore years of Biden. So you're
saying, don't vote for Trump,but why aren't you telling us what you're
going to do? And then meanwhilethe Dams are feeling all this bleakness and
fear in their own lives, whichis directly caused by the leakness in fear.
They've been predicting if Trump wins,they've essentially brainwashed themselves. They again,
(01:54:05):
they got high on their own stash, and you know, they're just
gonna get more of the same.That's why they're not gonna vote Democrats.
He's saying, you got to sellthem shouting Trump. Oh my god,
Trump is not working. It's notworking. People aren't buying that anymore.
You gotta have a positive message,whatever that message is. They don't have
(01:54:28):
one. Everything they've done is whatthey're going to take away from you,
not what they're gonna give you,other than student loan relief. I guess
it's been going on forever. Yeah, like heard it already, been there,
done that. Yeah, what elseyou got? All I know is
were you better off? I was? Did Trump? I think we all
were, and I think we allunderstand that. Yeah, all have a
