Dems will they broke korum again. Yesterday, Republican State Rep.
Brian Harrison is fed up with a tough talk and
no action.

Speaker 9 (02:13):
There hasn't been once Seed vacated. There has not been
one arrest. We haven't taken a single Democrat off of
any of their powerful committee. Is not one of their
chairmanships or vice chairmanships.

Speaker 7 (02:23):
That was Harrison on X yesterday.

Speaker 6 (02:25):
Meantime, the State Supreme Court has set a briefing schedule
and the Governor's attempt to kick gen Wu, the Democrat leader,
out of the legislature.

Speaker 7 (02:33):
It starts next Wednesday.

Speaker 6 (02:35):
But it's the US Supreme Court and a case out
of Louisiana that could settle redistricting once and for all.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
And it all comes down to race.

Speaker 10 (02:45):
Whether it's somehow unconstitutional to use race at all in
the redistriating process.

Speaker 11 (02:50):
That's Hans von Spakowski who says it's a big decision
and that's why Scotis is taking their time with it.

Speaker 10 (02:57):
They were supposed to issue a decision by June. Instead
they came out and if something that's very rare.

Speaker 12 (03:02):
They said, we're not going to enter a decision.

Speaker 10 (03:04):
We want to hear argument for a second time.

Speaker 11 (03:07):
So now it will be decided next year. And von
Spakowsky says race should not be used at all. Juff
Biggs News Radio seven Key Tie.

Speaker 6 (03:18):
Either way, We're going to talk to Attorney General Ken
Paxton about all of this at seven twenty. Poland shows
he leads Senator John Cordon by double digits in the
Senate race despite his recent personal issues.

Speaker 13 (03:29):
We've seen his job approval ratings dift somewhat among Republicans,
but whoevers have never collapsed an each thing is you
can say the same thing of John Corny.

Speaker 6 (03:38):
Jim Henson with the Texas Politics Project says the race
is not over. President Trump has yet to make an endorsement.
It's five h three. Newly released records from the rob
Elementary School shooting in Uvaldi revealed that former school police
chief Pete Rodondo was alerted moments after it started, and
it also detailed the gunman's mental health issues as well.

(04:00):
People are dead after yesterday's shooting in Austin at a
target there. The alleged shooter in custody, someone well known
to police. In the soft on crime state capital.

Speaker 14 (04:09):
We have a man white suspect who here's to be
thirty two years of age, does have a mental health history.

Speaker 6 (04:14):
Which includes an extensive criminal record and emergency detention holds
here at home. Internal data shows that reported crimes to
HPD is down since twenty twenty three.

Speaker 7 (04:26):
But don't go for a second thinking that crime.

Speaker 15 (04:29):
Is dropping if there are concerns about the public's relationship
with the police. What you usually see there is less
reporting of more minor crimes.

Speaker 6 (04:40):
Former Harris County Sheriff's captain and Sam Houston State professor
doctor J. Cohon says, we need to carefully look at
the data. As expected, President Trump announced a major crackdown
on crime in Washington, DC, activating the National Guard to
help local cops.

Speaker 16 (04:57):
We are now in the process of bringing to the
attention of law abiding citizens, not just in DC, but
throughout the country that we're not going to tolerate crime
that is out of control in the nation's capital.

Speaker 6 (05:10):
US attorney for DCJ and Impiro with KTRH is Sean Hannity.
By the way, Trump also put New York City and
Chicago unnoticed yesterday five ZHO Five more school districts are
starting the new year today, including Fort Bend, hisd Spring
and a Leaf. And after a lengthy court battle, the
Texas Education Agency is finally about to release the twenty

(05:32):
twenty four to twenty twenty five number rate or rather
letter ratings for their school and districts.

Speaker 17 (05:38):
This data won't be released until Friday, too late for
it to really be of any use to parents.

Speaker 18 (05:43):
Why because it's the easy thing. What are parents and
even teachers? What are we supposed to do with that
information when everything is all set up and committed.

Speaker 17 (05:51):
To Mandy Drogen with the Texas Public Policy Foundation says
this was an intentional move to hide systematic failures.

Speaker 12 (05:57):
It is wrong.

Speaker 18 (05:58):
The system is constantly set up to hide from parents
how their children are doing and why they are performing.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
In that way.

these grades are hidden in the future. Ethan Buchanan News

Five O eight Our time here in Houston's morning news,
All right, Washington DC's getting the federal treatment. National Guard
will be going in to help law enforcement. Presidents had
enough our nation's capital, which used to be just a
huge source of pride. You've been to Washington, DC.

Speaker 21 (07:48):
Right.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
I'll never forget. First legitimate vacation my family ever took
when I was a kid was to Gettysburg and Washington,
d C. And granted this through the eyes of a
kid who's looking at this big city, at least in
my mind, a big city, because I came from a
small town. And the buildings and the monuments and the

(08:10):
flowers and the grass and everything was perfectly mode and
everything was pristine. He was impressive. Well, it's not impressive anymore.
It's crime ridden. It's filthy. It's not the kind of
it's not the kind of place you feel safe walking around.
It's not the kind of place. I think President Trump

(08:31):
is personally embarrassed. I don't think he thinks it's the
kind of place he can invite dignitaries to come, people
signing peace peace treaties, making tariff deals. He's embarrassed. I
don't blame him. And by the way, made an interesting analogy.
You know me, I love analogies, something his father had
always told him. Yesterday, he compared Washington, d c. To

(08:55):
a dirty restaurant. Take to listen.

Speaker 22 (08:56):
Hey, you know, my father always used to tell me
had a wonderful father, very small art. And he used
to say, Son, when you walk into a restaurant and
you see a dirty front door, don't go in because
if the front door is dirty, the kitchens dirty. Also,
same thing with the capital. You are capitals dirty. Our

(09:18):
whole country is dirty.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
What a great analogy. So let's clean it up. That's
what he wants to do. Let's clean it up. Let's
be proud of it again. Let's get it to where
it needs to be. By the way, did your dad
or mom love to tell analogies? My dad was an
analogy king. My favorite was, yeah, it's really My favorite
was thought, thought he let a farden, actually pooped his pants.

(09:41):
Don't assume anything. What got my attention though five to ten?
Thought thought he let a fart, It actually pooped his pants.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
Thought he let a fart.

Speaker 4 (09:52):
And actually, don't assume anything if you have it, if
you have a classic analogy from your parents. iHeartRadio app
TRH I number one on the preset to.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Be more useless. The talkback but memory glens on a
mail a pig. That's what I was told.

Speaker 5 (10:10):
Oh, by the way, Terry, you know what my favorite
part of Washington, d C.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Was what the Smithsonian Institution.

Speaker 23 (10:16):
Oh those are so much fun.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Oh I love science.

Speaker 5 (10:20):
A farm boy from Tarkingdon Prairie checking out science. We
cleared the North Freeway I forty five southbound by anyway,
put your lap coat back on southbound. They cleared that
little back order slip we had on forty five between
Parker and said, well, so we're back in business. Stay
the course. The North Freeway looks good. Twenty two minutes.
Let's come down from the sticks.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
Check you out. It's Flendora.

Speaker 5 (10:39):
Here's an olive French and we look good from Cleveland
down from Humble. That is now twenty one minutes. And
oh to forty nine. I never talked about you. Pinehurst
to the belt is going you all the way in? Hey,
tell tell us what you did real fast. There's something
you did that was I thought was dangerous. I'm in
the USA RV Resorts dot Com traffic center. Tell them
what you did.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
I went horseback riding. Did you wear a helmet?

Speaker 23 (11:03):
No, we were trail riding, so okay, you know.

Speaker 4 (11:06):
All right, I don't believe I'm wearing helmets on horses,
so that's fine. Now you are a cowboy hat, yeah, exactly.
From marquitirh Top Tax Defenders twenty four hour webther Center.
Should I ask you about Erin or do you want.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
To lean on that?

Speaker 14 (11:19):
I can tell you a little bit about Aaron. Not
like it's going to be all that exciting, but Erin
is a tropical storm well.

Speaker 23 (11:28):
Out in the Atlantic.

Speaker 14 (11:29):
It's made its way to the west of Africa, and
it's well far away from the Leeward and the Windward Island,
so it's out in the middle of the Atlantic forty
five mile an hour wind, so minimal tropical storm. Now,
the interesting thing about Aaron is that it will likely
continue mainly westward the next couple of days, so that

(11:52):
keeps it out over the open water toward the weekend.
Right now, the National Hurricane Center is saying it'll be
north of the Windward Leeward Islands and still north of
like Cuba, so still in the middle of the waters,
but getting closer and likely to strengthen into a hurricane,

(12:12):
perhaps a major hurricane. Toward the end of the weekend,
so we're going to be watching it. But we've got
a lot of time to watch it. And that's what
I want folks to know. Is there any confidence on
the path at this point or is it way too early?
You know, I would say yes, there's some confidence on
the path through this week, but beyond the weekend, you know,

(12:33):
that's when the margin of error expands. But yeah, the
steady westward progress, I'm pretty confident it's going to keep
doing that. I don't think it's going to hook anytime soon,
at least not significantly.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
Okay, round here, more of the same around here.

Speaker 14 (12:49):
It's like our weather vettern doesn't change. We've got to
right every single day through the rest of the week.
Today a forty percent chance showers and storms, and we'll
likely see some of that this morning, but certainly the
afternoon is the favorite time to get rain here in Houston.
Fifty percent chance of war storms tomorrow and Thursday, Friday
and Saturday. A forty percent chance that you're gonna get wet.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
On the day.

Speaker 4 (13:29):
So have you heard about this chicken gunya virus? Chicken
gunya sounds it sounds like a castle rolled or something,
doesn't it. Chicken gunya? It's it's a virus. It's I'm
just gonna say, it's raging in China. The Chinese government
makes it look like it's raging in China, but it's
been in South America. They're worried about it spreading. I mean,

(13:51):
it's it's. It kind of reminds me of line disease
in the fact it's rarely, if ever, fatal. You get
aches and pains and the fever. Well, it doesn't really
sound that much different than the flu, does it. But
doctor Mark Siegel and Fox explaining it in why the
US is issued a travel warning for Americans who may
travel to countries where this chicken gunya virus is active.

a possible it's happening in our hometown.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
It's always something oh as will be use Radio seven
forty KTRH by Mosquitos.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
To pieces five twenty four is our time here in
Hisston's morning news. And so does the wife Elizabeth. She's
like a magnet. Whatever I go upside, I try to
take her with me because the mosquitoes will all go
to her and leave me alone. I don't you know,
other than the bite. You know, this little titch every
now and again doesn't bother me. But I really don't
want to get the the what is it called again,

(16:42):
Chicken gunya the chicken gunjia virus. There's a travel warning
about going to places like China which are having it.
Doctor Mark Siegel, I'm Fox is explaining exactly what this
virus is.

Speaker 24 (16:52):
It's two hundred and forty thousand cases already this year.
The vast majority of them, one hundred and eighty thousand
are in Brazil, coming out of the Ring Forest, coming
out of the Amazon, and they affect this mosquito. And
the mosquito is the rate limiting step here. It's the
reason we're not going to see a global pandemic because
you're not going to get it human to human. You

(17:12):
got to get it from this mosquito. On the other hand,
this mosquito is hardy, and this mosquito breeds very easily
on very little bits of water, and the eggs spread
on luggage and things like that, so you can spread
it via travelers that are sick or via mosquitos. Now
keep in mind, I just said one hundred and eighty
thousand cases from Brazil. We're not seeing a huge outbreak

(17:35):
trace to Brazil. What's concerning about China is that it
hasn't seen it before. We've seen cases in Southeast Asia,
but this is really the first big outbreak we're seeing
in China. And as you know, there's a lot of
travel from China to the United States, so there's a
lot of opportunity to start to see this emerging in
Florida in the southeast and in the Southwest where these

(17:58):
mosquitoes are here already. But it is not going to
be another COVID type situation. For the most people, it's
a nuisance, but for some people that can cause a
lot of joint and bone and muscle pain and high fever.
So it's not something to take lightly. But it's almost
never fatal, that's correct. About ten percent of the time.

(18:19):
It can cause it encephalitis.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
Or infect you in the brain.

Speaker 24 (18:23):
That's something you don't really want this virus for sure,
so you want to use a lot of precautions with
insect repellent and with clothing for it. But China is
definitely vastly overreacting to this with the draconian measures, you know,
spraying everywhere, wearing red vests, going door to door, examining
you and finding you if you have little bits of water.

(18:44):
This is typical of them, and it's what they've done before,
and it spreads much more fear than it controls virus.

Speaker 4 (18:51):
That's doctor Mark Siegel. We got all that. Okay, good
stay waiting from the mosquito. It's five twenty six. It
is time to take a look at your money. We
say good morning to Jeff. Jeff Bellinger's here, and.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
Jimmy, good morning to you.

Speaker 25 (19:04):
The nation's small business operators are feeling better about the economy.
The National Federation of Independent Business as optimism rose last
month to the highest level in five months. More businesses
were making expansion plans, and one in five firms indicated
labor quality was their top concern. Economists say a new
inflation reading from Washington will likely show that teriff related

(19:26):
costs have begun to filter through to the cost of living.
A September interest rate cut was never a sure thing,
and any uptick in inflation would make a rate reduction
less likely. That report will be out before the markets
open this morning. As investors await that report, the futures
are just very slightly higher. I'm Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg Business

law fair continues despite a Supreme Court ruling earlier this year,
so much so that Breitbart's Alex Marlow wrote a book
about how to stop it.

Speaker 29 (22:38):
And what I write about in the book breaking the
Law is that they co op to the legal system,
and they do this when we're not paying attention and
I think it's a huge mistake for us to get
off of that war footing we'd act as though as
a presidential election year every year, saying gage stay focus.

three of the Texas House goes back in session this morning,

wrong and unconstitutional. It's like they're saying that, like the
American people are just too dumb to know what we're doing.

New Jersey, New York, Maryland, and Illinois.

Speaker 31 (23:21):
They can't jerrymander anymore because they've already done it. They've
done it for the last forty to fifty years. So
Becto's just saying that they should continue the same thing
that they've been doing.

RNC Committee man doctor Robin Armstrong says if blue states
do this, red states like Missouri and Ohio could respond,

Good news for the Texas economy. Things are looking up
for our housing markets despite a big increase in homes
on the for sale market. Dallas Area Realtor and Mariposa
Group leader CAROLEE. Gurney says both Houston and Dallas markets

(24:53):
are seeing a new balance between buyers and sellers. Lots
of inventory, more and more interest also among potent buyers.

Speaker 34 (25:00):
I've seen a lot of buyers taking advantage of this
market because they've had to really deal with a lot
over the past ten years.

Speaker 35 (25:08):
As buyers demand lower prices, inventories will shrink as sellers
pull out, but for now, buyers are exerting control. Mike

The average American household has an average of one hundred
and fifty grand in debt, but things may be getting
better bank rates. Ted Rossman says the economy is overperforming
right now, and it should open up more opportunities.

Speaker 36 (25:32):
That actually feels manageable when we consider that the job
market's been strong, the debt to income ratio is actually
pretty low on a historical basis. Wage growth has been
outpacing inflation for the past few years. In some respects,
we would expect debt to grow over time.

Speaker 26 (25:49):

While the economy looks good, there is a threat to

This is Houston's Morning News.

Speaker 4 (26:54):
B You middle children out there. Happy middle child day.
I'm an oldest. I'm not a middle I'm an old oldest,
and I have a sister who's the middle and another
sister who's the youngest. It has been my personal experience
that middle children are a little bit different, and I
think it has a lot to do with well being

(27:15):
stuck in the middle and kind of feeling overlooked. And
they realized that. I really do think they get overlooked.
I mean, you got the oldest child is the first one,
the firstborn always gets all the attention in the beginning, right,
and then there's the baby, the last one, the last
one out of the house, who usually has a really
super strong bond with at least one of the parents.

(27:39):
And then there's one in the middle that just kind
of got stuck between the two dominating personalities. And in
the case of my family, my personality has intends to
be a little bit on the big side, and so
it's my youngest sister, Denise is and is a little
bit more reserved. So it's it's interesting the family dynamics
that work around that. So it's been my experience that's

(27:59):
been children. I haven't looked at the positive traits of
middle children until I forced myself to do that today.
Here's how if your middle child, you can see if
anything relate to you. Middle children often characterized by adaptability, independent,
strong negotiation skills, I believe that, and a tendency to
be peacemakers within the family. The negotiation stills come from

(28:24):
trying to navigate between an older and a younger sibling,
and the peacemaking, of course, has a lot to do
with that too. You know, older kids and the baby
of the family. Sometimes you have little squabbles or whatever,
and the middle child acts as a mediator between the
two and is usually pretty dog one good at it.

Is it aerin with a A like Hank Aaron? Or
is it aaron with E like Aaron? On the Waltons,
is it a boy or a girl.

Speaker 23 (30:05):
It's a girl. We had Dexter. While I was gone,
Dexter popped up.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
So Dector does it go boy girl boy? Girls? How yep? Okay,
so work.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
So Dexter was a boy because Dexter still have genders evidently, Yes, I'm.

Speaker 23 (30:20):
Not checking, That's all I'm gonna say.

Speaker 4 (30:23):
Well, let's hope we get one that knows whether or
not it is a male or a female, because the
ones that are confused can really cause a lot of
problems for us. And Aaron, does Aaron know where Aaron's
going at if you started baking the spaghetti or boiling
the spaghetti over there at the weather channels.

Speaker 7 (30:39):
Boiling the spaghetti.

Speaker 14 (30:41):
Yeah, I mean, we're pretty confident here, not just we,
but the National Hurricane Center that it's going to continue
on mainly a westward path and by the end of
the week, over the weekend, approaching near the Leeward and
Windward Islands, but staying north of there. So the good

(31:02):
thing is it's going to be out over open water
through at least the rest of this week, so it
won't be bothering anybody in that manner. But because it
is out over open water, not encountering any conditions that
would limit its development. What is now a tropical storm
with forty five mile an hour winds is likely to

(31:24):
become a hurricane and may strengthen into a major hurricane.
And that would mean wind speeds of at least one
hundred and eleven miles an hour. That happens by Sunday,
but again it's over the open water, and we'll need
to watch.

Speaker 23 (31:39):
It back home though.

Speaker 14 (31:41):
We've got rain to deal with, mainly in the afternoon.
But today we may see some of those showers and
thunderstorms in the morning and then again for the afternoon
as well. Forty percent chance of getting wet. Temperatures today
mainly in the load of mid nineties, but we'll see
a few upper nineties. We've got that possibility of wet
weather every afternoon through Saturday.

Well, we're finally getting this week. We're finally getting the
information regarding which schools past, which schools failed, what kind
of a grade that they got. You know, they'd been
and it'd been in a lawsuit situation up until recently.
But by the time the data comes out of the
school gear will have already have begun. So if you're

(32:35):
a parent who would want to use that data to
take action, it's too little, too late. Mandy Drogen is
a big proponent for homeschooling and a big proponent for
just about everything having to do with a more positive
public school education. We'll talk to her next first, though,

Speaker 4 (34:14):
Well, you know, there are slow learners as students, and
there are slow learners as schools. And the slow learners
as schools are the ones that are still getting DS
and f's even after they've already had those kind of
report cards and you know, on the verge in some
cases being taken over by the state. HISD, I think
is a prime example of somebody who ended up getting

(34:34):
taken over by the state because they just couldn't turn
the battleship around or weren't that interested in turning the
battleship around. Now the grades are out, lawsuits are settled,
we'll find out this week what school systems around the
state got. Mandy Drogan joins us. She's at the Texas
Public Policy Foundation. She follows all things educational, big homeschooling proponent,
a big school choice proponent, and when it comes to

(34:58):
school choice, it helps to know how your school's performing, Mandy,
before you decide where you want them to go to school.

Speaker 12 (35:04):
Right, Absolutely, parents have a right to know can a
school educate my child or not? And if not, they
must have the right and the opportunity to go somewhere else.

Speaker 4 (35:14):
Is this information too a little too late at this
point for many families?

Speaker 26 (35:19):
It is?

Speaker 12 (35:19):
Unfortunately, I've seen all over social media the smiling pictures
of children going back to school, and the really unfortunate
part is that over twenty two percent of the public
schools in Texas are D or F rated schools. We
did see a massive drop in schools all across Texas

(35:39):
going down. This tells parents they're not educating their children,
they're not focused on the basics, reading, math, social studies.
To be clear, forty percent of kids in Texas are
proficient in math, fifty percent of kids are proficient in reading,
and just thirty percent of kids in social studies and history.

(36:02):
Those numbers are devastating. And yes, parents were not told
and they didn't have the option this year to select
a different school based on these ratings. And it really
is sad for a lot of parents whose kids are
back in school and they're being back in the schools
and the twenty two percent of schools that are and
F rated.

Speaker 4 (36:22):
Well, and those those schools involved in lawsuits to prevent
the information from coming out because they didn't want parents
to know. They're trying to sweep it under the rug.

Speaker 12 (36:32):
Always it's a game of hide the banana. And this
is what this system. You know, I've been talking about
this for years. We have a broken system. We have
to acknowledge where schools are failing and making mistakes. And
I heard you talk about Houston, I SD look, when
the state came over, came in and took over that system.

(36:52):
The new board, the Board of Managers, implemented sweeping reforms.
They basically said, we're not listening to the unions, we
have no tie to them. We're going to put in
merit based pay, We're going to put in an discipline structure,
We're going to put in all these different metrics, and
they now have no affrated schools. It was ugly, we
watched protests, but it worked. They got back to the basics.

(37:15):
And that's what we need to see the entire public
system get back to. Stop listening to radicals that want
to indoctrinate kids, start listening to experts that want to
get back to the science of reading, phonics, teach, teaching
high quality civics, social studies, mathematics. That is what Texas
schools must focus on.

Speaker 4 (37:34):
And it seems very simple, but the fact of the
matter is any take a state like Mississippi traditionally dead
last or very close to dead last when it comes
to public school education. They've completely turned that around in
Mississippi by doing exactly what you said, going back to
the basics. We've don't have time for all this other stuff.
We're here to teach math and reading and writing and history,

(37:54):
and if anything else gets done, great, but we're going
to take care of these core things first.

Speaker 12 (38:00):
That's exactly right. In fact, it's being hailed in education
circles as the Mississippi miracle, and it refers to that
traumatic change you're talking about. In their case, retul system,
they got back to the basis. They said, every teacher
is going to know how to teach phonics. You are
going to read phonics. They also said, if a child
cannot read on grade level at the completion of third grade,

(38:21):
we are going to hold them back and we will
not force them on through their education system without being
able to read. That's something that they focused on. That's
something they changed, and it has completely changed the trajectory
of their kids' lives there in Mississippi, and conversely, here
in Texas, we removed our retention policy. The same entities

(38:43):
I'm talking has, the Texas Freedom Network, these entities that
thought to remove Texas's retention policy in two thousand and eight.
They're the same entities that have supported hiding the a
thrift system, supported the lawsuits to stop parents from knowing
how their kids are. It's nefarious. It has to stop.
We got to focus on our kids and we will

(39:05):
not only have the Texas business miracle that we see
here where worth thriving economically, but we can also have
the Texas education miracle.

Speaker 6 (41:30):
Now, the lawsuit by Governor Abbott to remove Democrat House
Leader Gene Wu from the legislature entirely is moving forward.
There will be a month's worth of briefings getting underway
a week from tomorrow. The fight over redistricting is centered
here in Texas, but it's a Louisiana case going to
the US Supreme Court that could very well decide whether

(41:51):
or not race can be used to redraw congressional maps.

Speaker 10 (41:56):
Race should not be used at all in their redistricting
price process. I think that would be in full compliance
with the intent and language of the fourteenth Amendment. The
people who would object the most to that, of course,
are Democrats.

Speaker 6 (42:08):
Political commentator Hans von Spakowski. Now, we'll talk to State
Attorney General Ken Paxton about all of this at seven
twenty this morning. Paxton in the meantime as a big

Polling shows the incumbent is down double digits to a

that are more likely.

Speaker 2 (42:39):

Speaker 38 (42:40):
With the Texas Politics Projects, as the race is not over,
they asked likely Republican voters how much they've heard about
the Senate race. The vast majority said they've heard some,
but not much, and President Trump still has not made
an endorsement. I'm Beth Myers News Radio seven forty ktright.

Speaker 6 (42:57):
It is now six ZHO three. Three people were killed
in Hulda shooting at a target in Austin. The alleged
shooter in custody. That's a man with a long criminal
record in soft on crime Austin with several emergency detention
homes here at home. Official HPD data reveals that reporting
of lower level crimes has fallen sharply over the last

(43:18):
few years, could be an indicator that public trust and
confidence in the police is dropping.

Speaker 15 (43:24):
Typically, the better the police interaction and reputation with the community,
the more likely.

Speaker 12 (43:30):
It is that minor crimes will be reported.

We are going to use every power we have to fight.

Criminal theory g Pam Bondi. There.

Speaker 6 (44:01):
Trump also warn New York in Chicago about their situations.
President Trump is also hoping to get a deal done
on a ceasefire with Vladimir Putin at friday summit in Alaska.

Speaker 22 (44:11):
Got a call that they'd like to meet, and I'm
going to see what they want to meet about it.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
I'd like to see a cease fire.

Speaker 22 (44:17):
I'd like to see the best deal that could be
made for both parties.

Speaker 6 (44:21):
Trump confirmed that Ukraine's Vladimir Zelenski will not be at
that conversation. Six oho five more Texas kids go back
to school today, including several districts around here for BENDHISD
a leaf in spring. Meantime, the Texas Education Agencies A
through F grade of schools and school districts for twenty
twenty four and twenty twenty five come out on Friday,

(44:44):
but there won't be much that parents can do with
the info coming out so late.

Speaker 18 (44:48):
The only way that society can help, the only way
that parents can help, the only way that patriots can
help to support the systemic changes that needs to happen
is if we can see where the problem is are.

Speaker 6 (45:01):
Policy analyst Mandy Drogen says, this is an example of
how the system has been set up to hide education
data from parents. Six zero five AI is chewing up
power and leading to higher electric bills so far, though
we haven't seen that in Texas, and power expert Michael
Jewele says the state must start immediately to take on
data center needs.

Speaker 7 (45:22):
If it's going to stay that.

Speaker 27 (45:23):
Way, it really is important that we bring on the
generation and improve the transmission grid as well.

Speaker 6 (45:30):
Texas is working to bring in electricity through the Southern

seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 3 (46:43):
Now back to Jimmy Barrett and the Houston Morning News
Team Houston's Morning News.

Speaker 4 (46:50):
So what's going to start on analogies this morning? Was
President Trump yesterday in his press conference talking about the
federal takeover of Washington, DC, at least the National Guard
going in to help DC police take care of crime.
He's had enough of crime, he's had enough of grime.
He wants things changed in Washington, d C. And he's

(47:11):
willing to take extraordinary action in order to do it.
Who knows, he may end up doing another Blue Blue States.
But he had a great analogy that his father had
told him, and he compared that to Washington, d C.
This is what started the conversation.

Speaker 22 (47:24):
You know, my father always used to tell me I
had a wonderful father, very smart, and he used to say, son,
when you walk into a restaurant and you see a
dirty front door, don't go in because if the front
door is dirty, the kitchens dirty.

Speaker 2 (47:40):
Also, same thing with the capital. You are capitals dirty.

Speaker 7 (47:45):
Our whole country is dirty.

Speaker 4 (47:47):
And I don't think he's just talking about crime and grime.
I think he's also talking about some of the politicians
who are there in Washington, d C. But he's right,
So that inspired some of you to come up with
analogies of only, of course I came up with my
analogy that my father had told me he was the
king of analogies our house. Of course none of them
were original. But here's one of our listeners who has

(48:10):
their own analogy about Washington, d C.

Speaker 39 (48:11):
This is Brady in Cleveland, Texas, and one of my
favorite analogies for Washington would be an armed society is
a polite society. Let's make it easier for our citizens
to arm themselves in self defense.

Speaker 2 (48:28):
That would help to turn things around.

Speaker 4 (48:31):
Thanks, yep, love it, Love it. Any other ideas for analogies?

Speaker 2 (48:35):
Good morning, it's Stephen Spring. I've got two.

The grass may be greener, but you got it, gotta
got it, hut it. I've lived that.

Speaker 5 (49:19):
Let's hit some visoring here, Katie Freeway. Let's get him
in from Katie Mills. And we're looking at twenty four minutes,
and man, I can't believe the Katie Freeway schools back
in right. West Park Tollway from Grand Lakes into the
Beltway looks good. Inside the belt we're looking good there too.
Look at the Southwest Freeway. Dude, this has got to
be somebody else's freeways this morning.

Speaker 2 (49:38):
I don't have any smushes.

Speaker 5 (49:39):
I don't even have the suckings right before the west
Loop six y ten yet on that ramp.

Speaker 2 (49:44):
That'll change in a minute or so. But northbound twenty
two minutes.

Speaker 5 (49:47):
It's getting a little thick now on two eighty eight,
just inside the belt, but we're moving. If you just
sold a bunch of gold, you could afford those toll lanes.
And whatever Mark from Spring saw around ost.

Speaker 2 (49:59):
Looks like they cleared that up pretty quickly too.

Speaker 5 (50:01):
The only real spackle I've got for right now is
your east text southbound at IT ten. That's a bit
of a smutch trying to hit the George R. Brown southbound.
I'm Skymike. It's your USA r V Resorts dot Com

From r K t r H Top tax Defenders dot Com. Well,
I got a theme song.

Speaker 20 (50:16):
Here we go, aran erin.

Speaker 23 (50:20):
Her all right.

Speaker 2 (50:27):
It sucks.

Speaker 4 (50:28):
There's not a lot of choices when it comes to Aaron,
and you know we need to big names that there
are more songs available for. But from our's just impressed
with the spelling. The spelling is correct. Yeah, E R
I and Aaron nicely done. From our Top Tax Defenders
twenty four. Our weather center Terry is here. We have
some idea where Aaron is going. But from all the

(50:50):
models that I have seen, yes, it looks like if
the US is impacted by this, it's going to be
an East Coast thing, not a Gulf of America thing.

Speaker 23 (51:00):
I'm not going to venture out that far.

Speaker 14 (51:02):
Okay, And simply because of this, the error margin of
error with tracking any tropical system, including hurricanes, grows in
size the further out you go from the forecast because
there's just any number of circumstances that may influence a

(51:25):
change in that forecast.

Speaker 23 (51:27):
So, taking what we know now, there's a very high.

Speaker 14 (51:32):
Confidence that it will stay out over the open waters
of the Atlantic and continue to drift westward. And that
causes me to want to make sure I'm checking up
on this thing several times the next couple of days.
Good thing is it is going to stay out over
the open waters.

Speaker 23 (51:48):
Through the weekend.

Speaker 14 (51:50):
Right now, it looks like it may strengthen into a
major hurricane over the open waters, but a little bit
north of the Leeward Island. So I like the fact
that it's out over open waters not bothering anybody. But
it really will be early next week that we have
to pay closer attention to it. Right now, we're just
watching it swim along westward closer to home. We got

(52:11):
some rain, folks, We're going to be cutting that grass,
the green grass, because we've got rain every single day. Today,
a forty percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, and temperatures
in the nineties mainly loaded mid nineties. Fifty percent chance
of afternoon storms Tomorrow and Thursday, forty percent chance of

Speaker 4 (52:46):
Well, redistricting is kind of the big topic here in Texas.
I mean, we already have a map drawn and compared
to maps from other states like Illinois and California. In Massachusetts,
it looks well, it looks a lot better than any
of the those maps do. It makes a whole lot
more sense. But there's a Supreme Court's case involving Louisiana
and the way they draw lines. They could have an

(53:08):
impact on other states is they figure out how they're
going to jerrymander around what Texas is doing. Because you
have California threatening to redraw their line so that they
get more Democrat seats.

Speaker 2 (53:20):
You get the idea.

Speaker 4 (53:21):

How I listened to ktr chanstead ly.

Speaker 4 (54:49):
Well, we're trying to drag around some of our lines
here in Texas, and the Democrats, of course, have taken
off for parts. Well I was gonna say parts on them,
but we kind of have an idea where they are
at this point point time. By the way, an hour
from now. Attorney General Ken Paxson, and the question I
have for him is where where is all the action
that we were promised? Where where is the you know,

(55:12):
the loss of committee membership or vice chairs of committee.
Where's all the where's all the fines? Where's all the
things that were promised by Governor Abbott. As far as
you know, getting these Democrats back into Texas and back
at their seats, I'm not seeing it anyway. I digress.
Let's talk about the Supreme Court case. There's one involving Louisiana,

(55:34):
and it may have an impact not just on Texas,
but it will certainly have an impact in any state
that's looking at redistricting and redrawing their lines, because there's
a lot of states that have used race as a
consideration for drawing the lines, and the Supreme Courts can
be making a ruling in this case in Louisiana, they
could impact that. Hans von Spakowski, I saw a story
that you're involved with on the federals for this tell us,

(55:57):
tell us what is up for grabs here in Louisiana
and how that may impact of the states.

Speaker 10 (56:02):
Well, the Louisiana case is really interesting because it was
actually up before the Supreme Court in their term that
ended in June, and rather than issuing a decision that
something's pretty rare, they said, we want to hear arguments
again in this case. So we're delaying the case until
the fall when they start up again, and we particularly

(56:24):
want to hear briefing on the issue of when is
it appropriate not appropriate to use race as a factor
in drawing new lines. And what happened to Louisiana basically
was that a federal court said to them, Hey, you
want to got one congressional district that's the black majority district,

(56:45):
you have to draw up a second one.

Speaker 2 (56:48):
And the.

Speaker 10 (56:51):
Legislature did that, and then some white voters sued and said, well,
wait a minute, you use race as your prime mary
factor and drawing up those lines, that's that's a violation
of equal protection, you know, the one person, one vote standard.
And a court agreed with them. So the legislature was
faced with two different federal courts telling them the exact opposite.

(57:16):
And that's what the Supreme Court's got to resolve. And
I suspect they're going to come out and say, using
race as a factor the way it was used Louisiana,
that's unconstitutional. And listen, Texas has has that problem. You
know what hasn't been mentioned, Jimman all of these news
reports about what's going on in Texas is that, you know,

(57:39):
the Justice Department sent a warning letter to Texas about
a month ago over the fact that four of the
congressional districts in Texas were drawn using race basically as
the primary factor. That these were Democrats wanted them, they
wanted them drawn up to favor them, and those four districts,

(58:04):
according to actually a Fifth Circuit US Court of Appeals
decisions from last year are unconstitutional racial gerrymanders. So this
redistricting isn't being done because Donald Trump is telling the GOP,
oh you should do this. It's being done to fix
those four unconstitutional congressional districts.

Speaker 4 (58:24):
Well, that's a great point to make. And I have
to wonder too, Hans fans Lekowski, how many other states
are going to be put in a position where they're
going to have to redraw their maps based on that criteria.
If the Supreme Court decides you cannot draw any districts
based on race, Oh, there are.

Speaker 2 (58:41):
A lot of them.

Speaker 10 (58:42):
I mean that Fifth Circuit decision alone. Remember the Fifth
Circuit covers that Quarter of Appeals covers Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
So those states alone would be covered by that Fifth
Circuit decision. And if the US Supreme Court comes down
the way I think they may come down, there are
congressional deskics throughout the country, and particularly in the southeast

(59:06):
and southwest, it may have to be redrawn.

Speaker 4 (59:10):
Wow, it's gonna be interesting. Thank you, sir, appreciate your time.

Thank you, Jimmy six thirty two on KTRH our top

Speaker 2 (01:01:33):
There is circumstantial evidence of collusion.

Speaker 6 (01:01:36):
Yeah, that was just one of the thousands of times
that California's Adam Schiff accused President Trump of colluding with Russia. Well,
we know it's not true, and now we know that
Shift was involved in the hoax.

Speaker 40 (01:01:48):
A Democrat whistleblower repeatedly was warning the FBI beginning in
twenty seventeen that the congenital liar Adam Schiff had authorized
leaking classified information to smear President Trump, which by the way,
could be a violation of the Espionage Act.

Speaker 6 (01:02:04):
KTRH is Sean Hannity. Their Schiff is also under investigation
for mortgage fraud. As Democrats and the left continued their lawfare,
one prominent conservative has an idea on how to finally
end it.

Speaker 11 (01:02:16):
That would be Alex Marlowe, the editor in chief of
bright Bart News.

Speaker 29 (01:02:22):
The only way to save the country from lawfier is
with civic engagement. On a twenty four seven three sixty

Speaker 11 (01:02:29):
Marlow tells k Tierh that means everybody has to get
involved with everything.

Speaker 29 (01:02:34):
Lawfier is the biggest existential threat to MAGA and if
we don't take it seriously, and if we are committed
to dismantling what the left is built, this is their
best chance to defeat us.

Speaker 6 (01:03:33):
The governor on Fox yesterday, the left continues to rage
against the plans by Republicans to read district this state,
but strangely, they won't talk about their efforts to redo
the map in one, two, three, yeah, four Blue states.

Speaker 17 (01:03:48):
Both Beto and the Democrats are now being called out
for their hypocrisy here.

Speaker 2 (01:03:51):
He's looking for an issue.

Speaker 31 (01:03:53):
The fact is there is not a blue state that
has any space to jerrymander because they've already done it.

Speaker 17 (01:04:00):
RNC Committee man doctor Robin Armstrong says, if Democrats further
jerrymander their states, other red states will respond.

Speaker 31 (01:04:06):
They're talking about picking up more Republican seats in Missouri,
They're talking about it in Ohio as well. There are
multiple red states that are talking about it and have
been for some time.

As expected, President Trump extended the tariff suspension with China
for ninety days. Doubt futures are flat this morning with
the July inflation numbers coming out in an hour. There's
a new balance in housing markets these days. We have
seen a jump in inventory that's been matched by increasing
by our interest. Realtor Carolle Gurney says, Texas is in

(01:04:44):
the middle of a huge increase in home inventory.

Speaker 34 (01:04:46):
I watched that number go from four months of inventory
to six months of inventory in the past year.

Speaker 6 (01:04:52):
But the number of interested home buyers in Euston and
Dallas is up despite the higher mortgage rates. But there's
this hell solves and an average debt of over one

Speaker 41 (01:05:05):
In the context of debt growth, though it's not an
unmanageable situation.

Speaker 36 (01:05:09):
Four or five years ago, debt loads were growing close
to ten percent year over year.

Speaker 2 (01:05:14):
Now the annual.

Speaker 36 (01:05:15):
Growth rate is more like three percent.

Speaker 41 (01:05:17):

and that's a positive sign moving forward.

Speaker 36 (01:05:23):
It's just not everybody's feeling that equally, and there's certainly
a lot of worries. There's a lot of negative headlines
about consumer sentiment. So far, the economy is performing better
than expected.

Houston's morning News continues with Jimmy Barrett.

Speaker 4 (01:06:54):
Yeah, well, Beto just keeps turning up. He just, you know,
whenever he sees this an opportunity to re emerge and
get ready to run again, only to loose again. I
would assume, so Betto the other day urging Democrats f
the rules. He says, E f the rules when it
comes to redistricting. So here's Betto and what he said,

(01:07:15):
and then he gets the Greg Guttfeld treatment.

Speaker 3 (01:07:17):
You may say to yourself, well, those aren't the rules.

Speaker 2 (01:07:20):
There are no reps in this game for the rules.
We are gonna win whatever it takes. We're gonna take
this to him in every.

Speaker 26 (01:07:27):
Way that we can.

Speaker 42 (01:07:28):
I look at Beta or work and that there's just
one feeling, and I don't I can only explain it
is I would.

Speaker 2 (01:07:34):
Hate to be his father in law. Do you know
what I mean?

Speaker 42 (01:07:37):
He's like the one that just doesn't do anything but
tells you all these big stories about how he's.

Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
Gonna make sure your daughter's fine. But he's just a
load of horsefooey.

Speaker 42 (01:07:48):
Doesn't he look like the kindest son in law you
don't want anyway? So the big complaint, and Harrow points
it out, is the mid streaming, which is like a
card cheat saying it's not fair that you ca him cheating,
So let's stop the game. Not you, Harold, I'm talking
about the Dems who manipulated the census by flooding districts
with illegals.

Speaker 2 (01:08:06):
They broke the rules, and so.

Speaker 42 (01:08:08):
Don't get mad when we catch you, we decide to
fix it. The era of the free punch is over,
and the Dems were always the masters of.

Speaker 2 (01:08:17):
The chief shot.

Speaker 42 (01:08:17):
Manipulating the census, they made their districts look like a
smurf bled out with all the blue splatter. Now Trump
is back and it's not fair. They say it's a
threat to democracy. No, it's just a threat to Democrats.
There is a difference. I like how Dems are now
saying that this is a revenge tour. That was a
narrative they started before the election. I don't know if

(01:08:39):
you guys remember, they're going if Trump gets elected, He's
going to go after everybody.

Speaker 2 (01:08:44):
I remember saying, why do they think that?

Speaker 42 (01:08:47):
It's because they know they've been doing bad stuff, they
know it's coming, and they know.

Speaker 2 (01:08:53):
They deserve this.

Speaker 42 (01:08:55):
I've never thought about retribution when I've done nothing, but
when I do something, I definitely.

Speaker 2 (01:09:00):
Think, oh, Harold's coming after me.

Speaker 42 (01:09:02):
So jere mandering is Trump and the Republicans finally taking
appropriate action against those.

Speaker 2 (01:09:07):
Who warned it. Amen, and I'll give you another analogy.

Speaker 4 (01:09:12):
We've been doing analogies this morning. Came from my old man.
The sweetest revenge is victory. The sweetest revenge is victory.
So if redistricting helps assure and we do it legally
within the rules like betto, then the sweetest revenge will
be victory six forty time. And for traffic and weather together,

(01:09:32):
what you got, skuy Mike, I just got a lot
of smunches here and there.

So Tropical storm Erin out in the Atlantic, expected to
stay there all week long early next week, approaching the
Leeward Islands. That's the northern part of that long island
chain of Leeward and Windward Islands, so somewhere near there
late in the weekend. The thing that's probably the most

(01:11:53):
interest is the fact that it is expected forecasts to
strengthen into a major hurricane. Up to around one hundred
fifteen mile an hour wins by the over the weekend.
So it definitely bears watching and not a concern right now,
and we'll have to continue to monitor it to see
where it heads.

Speaker 23 (01:12:11):
But we'll keep you posted and our weather's not going
to change a lot.

of the reasons why President Trump is sending in the
National Guard to get get a get a handle on crime,
clean things up a little bit. Here's Pete Hegseth the
Defense Section jury last night on what the President wants
him to do.

Speaker 44 (01:15:02):
So the President called this a public safety emergency, and
you said We're going to start seeing the National Guard
this week, tell.

Speaker 45 (01:15:10):
Us more this week and incoming weeks, and we're going
to work right alongside our law enforcement partners as force multipliers.

Speaker 2 (01:15:18):
This is what the American people voted for, Laura, this
is what the common sense, clarity strength.

Speaker 45 (01:15:23):
I hadn't heard that story from President Trump before the
story he told about his father that he told him, hey, son,
if you look at the front door of a restaurant
and it's dirty, then I bet the kitchen you can
count on the fact that the kitchen is too and
sat there think and that's exactly right. If our capital
city is a mess, if we can't control our capital city,
then what does the rest of the country look like?

Speaker 2 (01:15:42):
And what signals does the rest of the country take
from that?

Speaker 45 (01:15:44):
So, just like we did in Los Angeles, alongside our
federal law we took a lot of criticism for four
thousand troops, seven hundred marines.

saw we're going to help get DC under control by
working with local officials who have been federalized, with federal
officials who are coming in.

Speaker 2 (01:16:08):

Other states will.

Speaker 45 (01:16:10):

Speaker 7 (01:16:23):
The question of martial law.

Speaker 44 (01:16:26):
Keeps getting raised by the left that Donald Trump and
Pete hegg saith they want to impose martial law as
authoritarians would.

Speaker 2 (01:16:36):
To that, you said to that, I say, look at
Los Angeles.

Speaker 7 (01:16:39):
They said the exact same thing.

Speaker 45 (01:16:41):
Oh look, oh look, four thousand troops California National Guard.

Speaker 2 (01:16:44):
Oh look the Marines. You can't put in the Marines.

these sanctuary cities. I was told, oh, you're going to
lock up political a You're gonna go after democrats, YadA YadA.
It's the same stuff every time, mischaracterizing our intentions. The

But it's the US Supreme Court in a case from
our neighbors in Louisiana that could settle redistricting once and
for all.

Speaker 2 (01:21:11):
And it all comes down to race.

Speaker 10 (01:21:13):
Whether it's somehow unconstitutional to use race at all in
the redistributing process.

Speaker 11 (01:21:19):
That's Hans von Spikowski who says it's a big decision
and that's why Scotis is taking their time with it.

Speaker 10 (01:21:26):
They were supposed to issue a decision by June. Instead
they came out and if something that's very rare, they said,
we're not going to issue a decision. We want to
hear argument for a second time.

Speaker 11 (01:21:36):
So now it will be decided next year. And von
Spikowski says race should not be used at all.

Jeff Biggs News Radio seven ky tu E. Now we're
going to talk to Attorney General Ken text In about
all of this. Seven twenty Poland shows he leads Senator
John Cornyn by double digits in the Senate race next year,
despite his recent personal issues.

Speaker 13 (01:21:58):
Which seems his job approval ratings gifts somewhat among Republicans,
but whoevers have never collapsed. An interesting thing is you
could say the same thing of John Cornyn.

Speaker 6 (01:22:07):
Jim Henson with the Texas Politics Project says the race
is not over yet. President Trump has yet to endorse anyone.
Seven h four now newly reduced records from the rob
elementary school shooting three years ago, reveal that former police
chief Pete Rodondo was alerted just moments after the incident started,
and it also detailed the gunman's mental health issues over

a period of years.

Speaker 2 (01:22:31):
Three people are.

Speaker 6 (01:22:32):
Dead after yesterday's shooting at a target in Austin. The
alleged shooter well known to police in the soft on
crime city of Austin.

Speaker 14 (01:22:40):
We have a male white suspect who here's to be
thirty two years of age, does have a mental health.

Speaker 6 (01:22:45):
History which includes emergency detention holds and an extensive criminal
record here at home. Internal data shows that reported crimes
to HPD is down since hitting one point one million
two years ago.

Speaker 7 (01:22:57):
That doesn't mean crime is dropping, though.

Speaker 15 (01:23:00):
There are concerns about the public's relationship with the police.
What you usually see there is less reporting of more
minor crimes.

As expected, President Trump announced a major crackdown on crime
in the nation's capital, activating the National Guard to help
local law enforcement.

Speaker 16 (01:23:24):
We are now in the process of bringing to the
attention of law abiding citizens, not just in DC, but
throughout the country that we're not going to tolerate crime
that is out of control in the nation's capital.

Speaker 17 (01:24:02):
This data won't be released until Friday, too late for
it to really be of any use to parents.

Speaker 18 (01:24:07):
Why because it's the easy thing. What are parents and
even teachers. What are we supposed to do with that
information when everything is all cut up.

Speaker 17 (01:24:14):
And committed to Mandy Drogen with the Texas Public Policy
Foundation says this was an intentional move to hide systematic failures.

Speaker 2 (01:24:21):
It is wrong.

Speaker 18 (01:24:22):
The system is constantly set up to hide from parents
how their children are doing and why they are performing
in that way.

Farmer frequent guest. Heritage Foundation economist E. J Antny's got
a new gig right after he was he was funny,
he was because I'm Fox just a few days ago
and they'd asked him. So we hear that you might

(01:25:54):
be in consideration to become the new head of the
Bureau of Labor Statistics. He said, I don't know anything
about that. Nobody's contacted me about it in Walla today.
He is appointed by President Trump yesterday. And he's a
good guy. We know that, great with numbers, so you
can at this point, I think you'd be able to
count on the numbers coming out of the Bureau of

(01:26:16):
Labor Statistics. The jobs numbers is actually being accurate, where
before they weren't. Here are a couple of economists, Steve
Moore and our Laugher, reacting to the news. What more
time reacting to the news.

Speaker 47 (01:26:30):
Well, he's one of the top economists in the country
right now, young economists.

Speaker 2 (01:26:33):
For sure. I think this would be a great position
for him. I agree with you.

Speaker 24 (01:26:37):
He's a great spokesman for the free enterprise cause.

Speaker 47 (01:26:40):
So if he wants to do this for a year
and helps straighten it out. Look, my big concern is
we're just not getting accurate numbers. And I'm not ascribing
that to political manipulation. I'm just saying there's something terribly
wrong with the way these numbers are being calculated, and
we need a big fix, and somebody like EJ who
understands numbers and statistics might be a good guy to

(01:27:02):
do that.

Speaker 1 (01:27:23):
Best you can tell?

Speaker 2 (01:27:24):
What do you think?

Speaker 48 (01:27:25):
I can't really tell Larry whether he is not a
week dollar advocate. He surely does support the President's trade
policies very firmly, and as the FED, I think as
a placeholder.

Speaker 2 (01:27:35):
But maybe he would stay on at the FED. I
would if I were Steve, I'd much rather be.

(01:30:03):
We could exactly.

Speaker 14 (01:30:05):
Aaron's going to stay out over the open waters of
the Atlantic all week, not bother any land areas. But
we'll get closer to the Leeward Islands over the weekend,
and that's when it may get up to that major
category three status, which would mean about one hundred and
fifteen mile hour winds.

Speaker 23 (01:30:22):
But we'll see.

Speaker 14 (01:30:23):
We'll keep an eye on it, keep you posted. If
you're skywatching, don't forget person. Meteor showers tonight and we
should have some clear skies, yeah, if you like to
see the meteors. But now you got to get away
from the city because that light pollution makes it harder
to see the meteors. And we have some Rainfolks say
forty percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. We may see

some of that this morning. Certainly, the afternoon is the

Speaker 10 (01:32:44):
This just made my whole day more efficient.

Speaker 1 (01:32:45):
Why News Radio seven JTRH, Well, Texas Democrats are still
on the run, and where's the punishment that we're still
waiting on the punishment joining us as Attorney General, Ken Paxson,
I know that you know there's talk of charges against
these runaway Democrats.

Speaker 4 (01:33:03):
There's talk about taking away their committee chairs and those
types of things. But last I heard, nothing had happened yet.

Speaker 21 (01:33:08):
Why so, well, well, actually a lot's happened. It's all
in the courts right now. So for instance, we have
filed actions in Illinois and California courts, so trying to
hold them in contempt for not being here and hold
them accountable for the laws of Texas. But that's within
the courts of those two states. And then of course

(01:33:30):
we've got the US the Texas Preme Court action that
the governor and I are both a part of trying
to remove. He filed an action to remove geen Wu
I find an action to remove thirteen legislators. We have
expedited opportunity to I think within two weeks get something

(01:33:51):
else in front of the court. And they are the
ones driving the timeline, and they are the ones driving
the decision. But we are doing everything we can when
we don't have the authority to make the decisions. We
only have the authority to make the filings. The court,
the text Supreme Court on these out of state courts
are the ones that actually make the decisions.

Speaker 4 (01:34:10):
Yeah, and you say there's been a request for an
expedited ruling on some of these cases. Let me let
me ask you about these states. I know that the
FBI is cooperating as far as trying to find where
these people are in a hole hard they are to
find these seem to be calling a lot of news conferences.
But are you getting any cooperation at all from any
of these blue states as far as trying to extradite

(01:34:30):
these democrats.

Speaker 21 (01:34:32):
No, I mean that's why they went to democratic states.
I mean, we know where they are for the most part.
I mean it's not like some secret they're not. They're
not hiding. Really, they're in plain sight in most of
these states. It's just that we don't have the jurisdiction
to go arrest them unless we have the participation of
the other states. So I don't I don't think the
FBI has authority to go arrest them because they haven't

(01:34:54):
commititated federal crime. So that's the problem. So we're that's
where we're in court, the court to honor under the
full State and Credit Clause of our US Constitution. Other
states are supposed to honor the laws of other states,
and that's what we're trying to get these other states
to do. Whether we can get a judge or judges
in these liberal states to actually follow law, well that's

(01:35:16):
all we can do. We can ask the courts in
those states please follow our laws, just as we would
follow your laws.

Speaker 2 (01:35:23):
Yeah, I know that.

Speaker 4 (01:35:25):
The governors basically said, if you want to get paid,
you're going to have to come pick up your paycheck
in person, which is a is a great tactic, I guess,
although the paycheck for a Texas lawmaker is not very high.
But I'm I'm a little bit surprised that the House
itself hasn't been done a few more draconian moves. I've
not heard about any effort yet. Anyway, There's been a

(01:35:46):
threat of taking committee co chairs away from Democrats, but
I don't think it's actually happened.

Speaker 21 (01:35:52):
Yeah, that's I mean, that's completely up the speaker. That's
an inside you know, the House kind of decision that
would be at the Dustin Burrough to make that call.
Craig Abbott couldn't't make that happen. I can't make that happen.
Those those decisions are up to Dustin Burroughs, and I'd
certainly encourage them to start exercising that power over these people,

(01:36:13):
to put more pressure on them to come back.

Speaker 4 (01:36:15):
Yeah, as far as the ability of the state to
remove them from office, what does what does state law
say about removing a member of the state legislature? What
sort of rules have to be broken in order for
that to happen and to stand up in court?

Speaker 21 (01:36:30):
Well, so this is a you know, and this has
never happened before. We're in uncharged territory. This was an
idea that my office put together in a legal opinion
three years ago, when the four years ago when the
members left for the same reason. So, you know, as
I said, we don't really know how all this works.
We just know that they are applicating their responsibility. We

(01:36:50):
filed against the thirteen members that were the most open
and notorious about their reasons for being gone and put
it out in public so that we would have the
best possible argument the Supreme Court. Hey, these people have
said they're advocating in their own words, Please give us
an opportunity to get legislators in there. That will actually
show up, do their jobs and vote.

Speaker 4 (01:37:12):
Before I let you go, I'd like to ask you
a little bit about your attempt to win the Senate
seat away from John Cornyn in the primary. I know
that you've got a lot of support. You're a true conservative.
I don't think the same thing can be said for
John Cornan, although he's running. I'm sure you've seen the
television ads he's running right now where it makes it
looks like like he sides with Donald Trump on virtually

(01:37:33):
every issue.

Speaker 21 (01:37:36):
Well, look, that's what I call the fake John Cornyn
that started appearing on April the eighth when I got
into the race. We all know that he didn't like
Donald Trump. He didn't support him in two thousand and six,
said he was an albatross, around twenty sixteen, said he
was an albatross around her neck, and in the last election,
would not support him. Basically insinuated that he had committed crimes,

(01:37:56):
that this whole Russian hoax was a real thing. He
was inagonistic to Trump on the border wall, did not
want to build a boarderwall, was antagonist to Trump on
many issues, and now suddenly he's a massive support of
Donald Trump. It's all fake, and that he's doing it
because he knows he's way behind. He can't win without

(01:38:18):
being dishonest about his positions because they don't match. I've
got you know, many many clips that anybody can go
look at on the internet where he has been very
disparaging towards Trump and very disparaging towards many of his policies,
and including you know, joining Joe Biden and restricting the
Second Amendment, which was a big win for Joe Biden

(01:38:39):
and a loss for Texans. But John Cornyn is more
on that side and making Democrats happy than he is
making us happy.

Speaker 2 (01:38:48):
Can you compete with the deep pockets? He's a lot
of money in the bank of the donor money.

Speaker 21 (01:38:53):
Well, we outraised him in my first quarter of fundrais
only in two months. We raised two point nine million.
Max contribution was seven thousand dollars. He raised eight hundred
and three thousand, So outraised him and was four runout
raised every single US senator, a Republican US senator in
the country. I will admit Washington will spend a lot
of money. They have these special committees that I don't

(01:39:14):
have access to. They have sort of a rigged fundraising system.
So yes, he's going. He's already spent. I think they
said eight million dollars in the last month. But guess what,
he doesn't have anything to talk about other than making
up this stuff about Trump and making up stuff about me.
He doesn't have a record that he can go be
proud of and go tell the voter here's what I

(01:39:35):
did over the last you know, four decades of my career,
in the last two and a half decades in the Senate,
I do have that record. And I think the voters,
at least in the primary, I know, are smart enough
to see the difference and know when somebody's not telling
them the truth.

Speaker 4 (01:39:49):
All right, mister Jerry Jail, thank you for your time.
As always, do appreciate it, sir. You take care, Hey,

It's time for the news. Here's Cliff Sanders.

Speaker 6 (01:41:41):
Thank you, Jimmy seven thirty two on KTRH. Our top
story this hour, Russio, Russia, Russia. One of the leaders
of the hoax, California Senator Adam Shiff is in some
hot water this morning.

Speaker 28 (01:41:52):
This whistleblower literally sat in the meeting where Adam Scheff
authorized the leaking of classified secrets to dirty up Donald
John Solomon.

Speaker 6 (01:42:01):
With just the News on Fox, Schiff already under investigation
for mortgage fraud. Meantime, Democrat law fair continues to be
a major problem, even with Trump back in office, so
much so that Bright Bartes Alex Marlow wrote a book
about how to stop it.

Speaker 29 (01:42:16):
And what I write about in the book breaking the
law is that they co op to the legal system,
and they do this when we're not paying attention, and
I think it's a huge mistake for us to get
off of that war footing. We'd act as though as
a presidential election year every year say engage, stay focus.

Speaker 7 (01:42:28):
Marlow joins Jimmy at seven point fifty seven, p. Thirty three.

Speaker 6 (01:42:32):
The Texas House is back in session this morning, but
it doesn't look like the runaway Dems will return to
work anytime soon.

Speaker 30 (01:42:38):
Every single thing that they're doing is just illegal and
wrong and unconstitutional. It's like they're saying that, like the
American people are just too dumb to know what we're doing,
will Foolham.

Speaker 6 (01:42:47):
House Democrat Leader Jean wu right there not telling you
about the efforts in several Democrat states to rig the
system against Republicans.

Speaker 31 (01:42:56):
They can't jerrymander anymore because they've already done it. They've
done it for the last forty to fifty years. So
Vecto's just saying that they should continue the same thing
that they've been doing.

Speaker 6 (01:43:06):
RNC Committee man doctor Robin Armstrong says if the blue
states start redistricting, Missouri and Ohio, red states will do
the same thing right now. The House is paralyzed. The Senate, though,
continues its work. A newly filed bill would enable lawsuits
against those mailing the abortion pill to mothers without a
doctor's office visit.

Speaker 32 (01:43:26):
If the mom's baby has developed more than she realizes
and is too large for this process, the mom is
in real danger.

Speaker 6 (01:43:35):
The bill filed by State Senator Brian Hughes seven point
thirty four. This morning, as expected, President Trump extended the
tariff's suspension on China for another ninety days.

Speaker 33 (01:43:45):
The executive order side today will keep the Chinese teriffs
at the levels where they are thirty percent additional tariffs
on imported goods now. Last week, the Commerce Secretary also
hinted that this could happen.

Speaker 6 (01:43:55):
That is fox businesses at where Lawrence. Looking at the
inflation numbers that just came out a couple of minutes ago.
CPI aze point two percent in July. That's two point
seven percent year over year, less than expected. Amid the
tariff fear mongering from the left, Our futures are up
thirty six points as of now. Good news for the

(01:44:17):
Texas economy. Things are looking up for the housing market.

Speaker 35 (01:44:20):
Despite a big increase in homes on the for sale market.
Dallas area realtor and Mariposa Group leader CAROLEE. Gurney says
both Houston and Dallas markets are seeing a new balance
between buyers and sellers. Lots of inventory, more and more
interest also among potential buyers.

Speaker 34 (01:44:37):
I've seen a lot of buyers taking advantage of this
market because they've had to really deal with a lot
over the past ten years.

Speaker 35 (01:44:44):
As buyers demand lower prices, inventories will shrink as sellers
pull out, but for now, buyers are exerting control. Mike

Speaker 7 (01:44:55):
Thank you, Michael.

Speaker 6 (01:44:55):
The average American household has an average of one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars of debt, but things are trending
in a good direction and grates. Ted Rossman says the
economy is overperforming right now and it should open up
more opportunities.

Speaker 36 (01:45:10):
That actually feels manageable when we consider that the job
market's been strong, the debt to income ratio is actually
pretty low on a historical basis. Wage growth has been
outpacing inflation for the past few years. In some respects,
we would expect debt to grow over time.

Speaker 6 (01:45:27):
Now, while the economy looks good, there is a threat
to the Texas agriculture industry.

Speaker 37 (01:45:31):
The New World screwworm, once eradicated, has returned in cattle
and even some humans in Mexico, and it is less
than four hundred miles from the Texas border.

Speaker 26 (01:45:39):
Something out of a hard movie. It's a flood heating
magat infect any animals, mainly lap stock, and that is
what we're concerned with. It's saying it is hard to go.
We don't mean that it's threatening a thirty billion dollar
lap stock plus a law lapp.

Speaker 37 (01:45:54):
Texas Agriculturre Commissioner Sid Miller says they're developing a new
chemical bait to attract and kill the larva, as well
as vaccines and feed additives to protect the state's cattle supply.
Cory Yolson, Who's Radio seven forty, KTR eight and the
Astros Beef Boston seven to six. Pre game for tonight
is at six o'clock on Sports Talk seven ninety, The
game at seven on seven ninety and KTRH. I'm Cliff

(01:46:15):
Saunders on Houston's News weather in Traffic station KTRH.

Speaker 3 (01:46:20):
World Events, National headlines, Houston's morning News with Jimmy Barrett.

Speaker 4 (01:46:27):
Well, that's a positive song, isn't it. It's also crime
rented and dirty. But you know, it is our nation's capital.
It should be pristine, it should be beautiful. It should
be something we're proud to show off. It should be
something we're proud to visit. It should be a place
that's safe for us to visit. And President Trump announcing

(01:46:47):
yesterday that National Guard's going to be going in to
help the Washington DC Police department. I don't know what
else he can potentially do to work around that radical
aggressive left city council and the mayor. But you know,
the federal government has have your right to expect that.
But where they are located is going to be a

(01:47:09):
safe place for visiting dignitaries and visitors in general. So anyway,
what talking about analogies this morning was trump analogy that
he passed down from his father that he used to
describe Washington, d C. The analogy is about a restaurant.

Speaker 22 (01:47:25):
You know, my father always used to tell me had
a wonderful father, very smart, and he used to say, son,
when you walk into a restaurant and you see a
dirty front door, don't go in because if the front
door is dirty, the kitchens dirty.

Speaker 2 (01:47:41):
Also same thing with the capital.

Speaker 22 (01:47:44):
You are capitals dirty.

Speaker 2 (01:47:46):
Our whole country is dirty.

Speaker 4 (01:47:50):
Well, certainly our blue cities are dirty when you get
right down to it. But it got me thinking, you know,
because most of us have gotten analogies from you know,
from our parents, and in my case, from my dad,
who was always fond of telling me, son, you're gonna
find that the smarter the older you get, the smarter
I get. You used to tell you that all the time.
Dog on it if you wasn't right? How about other listeners?

(01:48:13):
Do any of you have an analogy for me?

Speaker 10 (01:48:15):
Hey?

Speaker 11 (01:48:15):
This is Mark from copper Field.

Speaker 7 (01:48:18):
Just wanted to pass on what my dad used to
tell us.

Speaker 1 (01:48:22):
He'd say, if you hang around the barbershop long enough,
you're gonna get a haircut.

Speaker 2 (01:48:27):
Meaning you hang around the wrong crowd.

Speaker 48 (01:48:29):
You're with the wrong crowd, you're gonna run into trouble.

Speaker 26 (01:48:33):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:48:34):
I like that.

Speaker 4 (01:48:34):
That's original. That's I've never heard that one before. My
dad stole all of his good analogies. That's original. Seven
forty times for traffic and weather together and.

Speaker 2 (01:48:42):
Again, come on, wasn't evil?

Speaker 4 (01:48:44):
Just got up do the food when your dad did,
oh thought, thought he let a fart and actually poop
his pens. Don't assume anything. And then he would also say, uh, yo,
did you just because evidently I assumed a lot as
a child, But I thought, you know what, I thought, Yeah, well,
don't assume anything. Is assuming makes an ass out of

(01:49:04):
you and me. Yeah, you gotta have a chart for that.
All right, let's do some West Belt North found. We
got this new Bisonette problem. That's a wreck.

Speaker 5 (01:49:12):
Everybody's okay, We're just pointing at things here. Downtown, Man,
something is smuning up there. I've checked in with the
authorities and sixty nine East Text downtown, the elevated. Something
smunching up right before the Big George. Maybe you can
see it better than we can. It's messing up your
East Text from equipment, and it's also connected like your
knee bone terry to the backups on it in the

(01:49:33):
East Freeway from Denver Harbor. Call it wayside a twelve
minute scunch coming this way Katie Freeway. We cleared Fry Road.
That's out of the way. That wreck that was a
stall actually backed up Grand Parkway. Southwest Freeway. We cleared
Beach Nut Now we've got another skunch at Belford. Give
me a few minutes, I'll give you some laneage. Thomas
from Livingston.

Speaker 32 (01:49:51):
I my dude, got a new wreck on inbound fifty
nine song vehicle.

Speaker 7 (01:49:57):
To right lane block just past the rear a bridge.

Speaker 5 (01:50:00):
All right, right after the Santa Centa River Bridge. And
I've got Hannah from Jersey Village.

Speaker 12 (01:50:05):
One piece of ice. I always was told if you
can't shoot a horse for throwing a shoe, all.

Speaker 2 (01:50:11):
Right, that works for me.

Speaker 5 (01:50:12):
Oh, throwing a quick one rick from the east side.

Speaker 2 (01:50:14):
Dude, what's going on?

Speaker 1 (01:50:15):
But it's probably growing from when when the pile of
grass may be creen on the other side.

Speaker 26 (01:50:20):
But it's probably growing from a pile of craft.

Speaker 5 (01:50:24):
Well said. Right there, I'm in the USA r V

Rest of the time.

Speaker 14 (01:50:51):
Yeah, and it's like that all week long. It's a
very quiet stretch of weather. We may get some of
this rain this morning. It looks like we might see
some of those showers or thunderstorms fire up close to
the coast this morning, certainly just about anywhere by the afternoon.
But it's only a forty percent chance of showers and thunderstorm.
So not everybody's going to see the rain. Certainly, everybody's

(01:51:14):
got the heat in humidity, and that's to be expected
in August. Just like you said, load of mid nineties
for most of us today, there'll be a few upper nineties.

Actually, it stays like that temperature wise the rest of

So we are joined by Breitbart's Alex Marlow, who has
a brand new book out called Breaking the Law, exposing
the weaponization of America's legal system against Donald Trump. All right,
what's the cure to it? You know, the Supreme Court,
I thought gave some pretty good guidance to the lower
courts about staying in their lane and being very careful
about what it is they're doing. But they don't seem
to be listening to the Supreme Court.

Speaker 29 (01:53:34):
Yeah, it doesn't seem like it. Thanks to me for
having me on. There's a two parts. I'm writing solutions for.
First of all, elected leaders, lawmakers. The first thing you
got to do there is you've got to get these
investigations going. They're just starting. We learned Jack Smith is
under investigation from a special prosecutor. Letitia James is under
investigation from the Department of Justice. We get to expand

(01:53:56):
that never half a dozen, maybe a dozen. I map
out everything the new to be investigated, every leaf that
needs to get turned over. But for the citizens, it's
a call to arms for people to be engaged, people
to be specifically responsible twenty four to seven. Getting more
involved in your community is getting more involved in your
down ticket races and not letting our guard down, not
being mopey, not being dissatisfied. If we don't get everything

(01:54:17):
we want within the first six months of the new administration,
we need to be fired up because the left is
fired up, the lawfare apperatus is fired up, and they're
working right now to try to figure out how to
subvert the next election.

Speaker 4 (01:54:27):
You know, that's a great point to make. The left
is always fired up, the conservatives not so much. You know,
we get fired up right before an election and maybe
right after an election, and then we just kind of,
you know, I want to go to my happy place
for a couple of years.

Speaker 29 (01:54:39):
It is the easiest advice I can offer. It's also
a sobering piece of advice, which is that I do
call us out as a movement for one to check
in every two years, maybe four years, and then we
go back to our families and our churches and our jobs.
And I understand that, but we can't do that anymore
because that's not how they're operating. They're building, they're raising money,
they're building infrastructure, they're trying to infiltrate a new institute

(01:55:00):
to try to take this down, and so we need
to understand that we need to meet that challenge today.

Speaker 4 (01:55:05):
Well, I think Texas might be a perfect example of
what you're talking about with this whole redistricting thing. The
Republicans in the Texas House. We have a speaker who
really is more Rhino than he has anything else. He's
not a true conservative, and they're making all these threats
about punishing these runaway Democrats, but so far, not much
of anything has happened.

Speaker 29 (01:55:26):
And what's interesting is that the voters reward action. They
reward it when you do things, and if you don't
do things, then you're constantly on defense, reacting to the
establishment media, which is another left wing institution, their narratives.
So you're way better off doing stuff. Look at how
Donald Trump operates in DC. It's been very effective for
him and just to try to rack up as many
victories as he can as quickly as he can, and

(01:55:48):
maybe you don't love everyone, but he's already on to
the next thing, and the media can't keep up, and
you're going to find something you like in the group,
and then you look back after a few months and think, wow,
it's a lot of stuff that got done well.

Speaker 4 (01:55:58):
Speaking of President Trump, what do you think of the
I don't want to call the federal takeover of Washington,
d C.

Speaker 2 (01:56:03):
That's not what it is.

Speaker 4 (01:56:04):
But he's obviously wants to get tough on crime and
grime in the capital city. He's clearly fairly embarrassed by
the condition of Washington, d C. And Ford dignitaries coming
here and visitors from our own country going to our
nation's capital. We don't have a lot to be proud
of there right now. What do you think of this
movie he's making. Do you think this will get other
blue cities to react and maybe start taking a chunk
out of trime.

Speaker 29 (01:56:25):
I have no idea, because the left doesn't value law
in order I go do this in the book, it's
not a value that they have. It's not a principle
they have. They would rather have chaos in order to
preserve their own power because it allows for them to
preserve their own power. But what Donald Trump is doing
is terrific. I was a DC resident for a long time.
When I got there about I said, about twelve years ago,
it was a vibrant city. It was fun, it was exciting,

(01:56:45):
it was beautiful. And when I laughed around the coronavirus time,
it was all boarded up and homelessness and crime and
the broken windows. It was terrible. The city totally deteriorated.
And Trump is saying no more, We're putting a stop
to it, and he has the means to do so.
I give him a ton of credit for this, and frankly,
I hope he figures out a way to clean up
a lot of other major cities.

Speaker 4 (01:57:03):
All right, else, thanks so much. Alex Barlow from Breitbart
again his book has called his new book Breaking the Law,
exposing the weaponization of America's legal system against Donald Trump.
I'll have a great day. I'll see you tomorrow morning
bright at early five am. Hope to see you the
