She has the complete forecast coming up at nine minutes. Temperature right now is we get started, 46, and your official, Severe Weather Station, News Radio 740, KTRH. It's time now for the news. Here's Cliff Saunders. Good morning, everyone. It's 501 on KTRH, sponsored by Synergenics Health and our top story. Starting February 1st, we're not making any payments to sanctuary cities or states having sanctuary cities. President Trump in Detroit with that announcement yesterday, this affects Democrat states like New York, California. California, Minnesota, cities like Chicago, Boston, and New Orleans all led and run by Democrats. This comes as the left continues to protest over the Renee Good shooting in Minneapolis. Mayor Jacob Frey was asked if he supports Abolishing Ice. I do not support Abolishing Ice. However, I absolutely oppose the way that this administration is conducting themselves with us. Fry talking to Fox and friends later this morning. More protests in Minneapolis. A woman pulled from a car by agent in a video that has gone viral. Turns out she was blocking traffic and calling the agents Nazis. Those protests, nothing but stunts. As are the visits to ICE detention centers by Democrats in Congress. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem now requires those lawmakers to give a week's notice before they visit those centers.

3:07

Her intent is to give ICE employees time to prepare for any Congress members coming to visit and to make sure that it's actually oversight activities that are being conducted and not a quote-unquote circus-like publicity stunt. Natalia Middlestat with Justa News says the Dems, well, they've tried to use lawfare to get around Kristi Noem's order. Closer to us, Democrats in San Antonio are all worked up over the increased presence of ICE agents there and any help, local police. offers those agents. What is SAPD's role in partnering with state and federal officials? As a Democrat City Council woman named Sukkour, there's a city council meeting next week about this. Here in Houston, Mayor John Whitmire has had issues with the radical left because of HPD's work with ICE. At the border, Texas Senator John Cornyn, in the middle of a rough primary campaign against Ken Paxton is sounding more MAGA at the border. During the trip, he called for the completion of the border wall, despite opposing it initially. He'll say anything in a heartbeat to get a vote. John Cornyn is from the old school Republican Party, the Amnesty Open Border Republican Party. That's Kenny Webster with our sister station AM 950, calling out John Cornyn's 20-year record on border security. John Cornyn is a guy who spent a lot of time helping get people into the country. He was an advocate to import more refugees from Afghanistan. Webster says John Cornyn is just trying to get President Trump's endorsement. which isn't likely to happen. Ethan Buchanan, News Radio 740, KTRH. By the way, John Cornyn flipped his stance on Afghanistan refugees late last year. It's now 504. The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in cases challenging a ban on boys playing girls' sports yesterday. Education Secretary Linda McMahon says this should be a no-brainer for the justices. The president clearly with his executive order stated that boys are boys and girls are girls and boys will not be allowed to play. in girls sports. The decision from the high court is expected in late June. Being in the courtroom did give me some pretty good insight and perspective, not only to hear, but to see the different reactions of the judges. I feel confident that we'll have at least five, if not six votes in favor of allowing states to have these laws that protect women's sports. Reaction from Jonathan Sines at Texas values. It's now 505. The midterms are months away, but the mainstream media is already driving the narrative that House Democrats have a path to majority. in 2026. They think that despite their unpopularity and the odds. Of the 22 states that are up for the midterms, 20 of those seats, President Trump won by 20 points or more. Republican strategist Jennifer Kelly says it's a very narrow path forward, mostly because people support Trump's mission, especially when it comes to deporting illegals. The highest level of people who believe that since the Obama administration. That's pretty significant, but you wouldn't believe that if you were. just watching the mainstream news. She says the GOP base will turn out and the House will stay red. Andre Parrard News Radio 740, KTRH. Former President Bill Clinton defies a congressional subpoena. He did not show up for the House Oversight Committee looking into Jeffrey Epstein. No one's accusing Bill Clinton of any wrongdoing. We just have questions and that's why the Democrats voted along with Republicans to subpoena Bill Clinton. Not a single Democrat showed up. Committee Chair James Comer, Hillary Clinton, is supposed to testify today remains to be seen if she'll be there. 506 DHS is investing $115 million into drone technology in advance of the World Cup with several games scheduled here in Houston. Just as we utilize drones, the bad guys do too. But there are certain city ordinances that prohibit drone usage within the city and around certain areas and specifically for certain events.

7:00

Retired HPD captain, Dr. Greg Freeman, says drones are an invaluable resource for law enforcement. The rocket snapped their three-game losing streak, beating the Chicago Bulls last night, 119 to 113. Kevin Durant led the way 28 points, 10 rebounds. The Rockets play the NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder tomorrow night. I'm Cliff Saunders right here on Houston's News Weather and Traffic Station. News Radio 740, KTRH. 2025 a year that will go down. Come 2026. The president's set the table. Come to us. Use Radio 740, KTRH. So I saw this list yesterday. I actually meant to get to the story yesterday, so I apologize for not getting to it today, but we're going to have some fun with this today. This is the list of the most iconic companies in America. Ford Motor Company came in number one. President Trump was at Ford yesterday. He's also in front of the Detroit Economic Club, talking about the economy. But at Ford, he got a tour of the Rouge plant. And I think he might have gone to the new world headquarters for Ford as well. But it was at the Rouge plant where there was, well, let's just say a little incident where I guess it was a line worker started screaming at the president. about Jeffrey Epstein, something about Trump protecting pedophiles? And President Trump basically mouthed an FU once or twice. and gave him the old Brooklyn salute. Your number one is what he did. We'll get to that. By the way, we have some audio on that to share with you coming up in the minutes ahead. We also are posting a video on Facebook, on KTRH, that you can check out for yourself. TMZ had a lot of fun with that story. Anyway, Ford Motor Company Most Iconic. Apple also made the list. These are national companies. Obviously, Ford and Apple, Coca-Cola. Yeah, you can see. Coca-Cola is an iconic company. Everybody knows the name. Everybody knows the brand. Everybody knows what you stand for. And you're considered an iconic company. Now... Not all companies are, well, here's an example of a company that I think might have been considered iconic, but has shot itself in the foot in recent years. It maybe is not quite as iconic anymore. Budweiser. Is Budweiser still iconic? Budweiser is celebrating the 150th birthday this year. I think they put the Bud Light thing behind them now. But does that knock you down the list of iconic companies? And when you get right down to it, whether or not it's a brand that you... use and recognize all the time like a Campbell's Soup, for example. We've talked about Campbell's Soup before how my mom always bought Campbell's suit because in her mind that was the best soup. She'd been convinced by all the advertising. Is Campbell's an iconic company? Looking for your list of iconic companies, either national or local. You could do both. National, state, local. Companies that you consider it to be iconic.

10:19

I won't give any Texas examples because I don't want to use them up, but you're welcome to. You go to the iHeart radio app, KTRH, first name, where you're calling from, and either a national, state, or local company, or you can list all, you know, all of those categories. The companies you consider to be iconic at a national, state, and local level. You go to the iHeart radio, hit the talkback button, first name where you're calling from, and your iconic companies, 510. Time for traffic and weather together. As I mentioned, Sky Mike's not fiddling well today. Jason Pawick is going to be filling in for him this morning. Overnight Rewark is up on the North Sam Houston Tullway Westbound between the Eastex Freeway over to Imperial Valley Drive. Right now, three lanes are blocked off, but should be back open pretty soon. There's more Robark on Highway 90 eastbound around FM 2100. Ferrells block off two left lanes on Alt-90 heading Westbound between Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Griggs Road, and looking downtown on the North Freeway, Northbound and Southbound, the interchange ramp over to the east freeway westbound is closed off. I'm Jason Fossig and the generator, supercenter.com traffic center. From our KTRH, top tax defenders, 24-hour weather center, Terry Smith is with us. I'm not sure, Terry, but I suspect that there might be a fruitcake overdose involved in what's going on with Mike today. You know what? That would explain a lot. Yeah, really. We're going to have to send him to fruitcake rehab. In the meantime, we're going to warm up a little bit today. We are going to warm up a little bit today. And we're going to enjoy. Some fairly comfortable temperatures much of the week. It's just a bit of a roller coaster ride because we have a weak cold front that's going to swing through. There's no rain that will drop the temperature tomorrow and then warm up Friday. So hang on, folks. Good thing is there's one thing you can hang your head on, and that is we are sunny and dry through the weekend. Today's a very comfortable day. Temperatures will top out anywhere from the... mid-60s in a few locations, upper 70s for most of us. And then tomorrow is when we cool back down, upper 50s to low 60s tomorrow. Friday warms up near 70s, Saturday and Sunday. We've got lots of sunshine temperatures in the 60s over the weekend. Temperature right now, 46.

All right, we're going to have a little follow-up from yesterday. We had a guest on our program yesterday to talk about the beginning of arguments in front of the U.S. Supreme Court about trans athletes, men competing in women's sports. Yesterday was the first day of testimony. And we have a report on how things went in court. And we'll share that with you coming up next. First, though, at 520, let's do a little traffic and weather together. As I said, Sky Mike, not feeling too well today. So Jason Fossick is in for him. Good morning. We've got a solid vehicle locking off two left lanes on 290 Westbound at Bingle, but not causing too much of a slowdown. And aside from that, the rest of our highways are looking all right this morning. On 225, Westbound, you're issued free from 2nd, Eastbound. You're not seeing any delays in the Gulf Freeway, northbound coming into town from the South Sam Houston Tullway over to the 610 South Loop. I'm Jason Fosk in the Ability Tree Experts Traffic Center. KTRH, top tax defenders 24-hour weather center. For it today, we're going to end up with sunshine, some gusty winds for the afternoon with a high temperature right about 68, cool down to about 60 for a high tomorrow with sunshine, and then back up around 70 for Friday. Current temperature is 46 at your official severe weather station. News Radio 740 KTRH. The Vizir, and he has an update on some of our top stories. No injuries as Memorial City Mall was evacuated last night due to an ammonia league. It's the second one they've had in the last month. By the way, we are sponsored by DNM auto leasing. Jimmy talked about this. The Ford worker who heckled President Trump during his visit yesterday suspended. President Trump's response. Well... You'll have to go to our Facebook and X page to check it out. It's priceless. And the memorial service for the oldest son of Ronald Reagan is today. Michael Reagan died last week. He was 80. I'm Cliff Saunders and get the latest news anytime at KTRH.com. Our next update is at 530. I live in Friendswood. Your forecast is at the bottom of the hour on 740 KTRH. Yeah, they are. They're trying to keep you down. Why? I'm still mystified by this. What is with the liberal hate of women? It's like eating your own. What is with this? Women have been given up for the transgender community. who believes that boys can be girls and therefore compete in girls sports, when biologically we know that's just not true. In fact, one of the arguments the attorneys were making in front of the Supreme Court yesterday was the attorney for the transgender student in question here was begging the Supreme Court not to define biological sex. We no longer can define what man is or what a woman is. Anyway, I saw, we had a guest yesterday. I can't recall his name off the top of my head. But we had a guest on from the organization that is representing the plaintiffs in this particular case, the 27 states that currently make it against...

16:22

the law in order for men to compete in women's sports. They're the Alliance Defending Freedom. Their CEO, Kristen Wagoner, was on with Bacon Kelly and talked about day one at the Supreme Court and how things went. Let's just start with the court. I mean, I think overall, I agree with your take. 6.3 is probably the way it will result with some concurrences as well. I think that the argument went very well. I was surprised at... Well, maybe not surprised, but delighted by some of the ACLU's concessions. They essentially rolled back their arguments on Title IX altogether, even saying that the lower court decision that they won under was wrong. So that's great. I think that the bill was brought back on the fact that they refused to even define what sex is. So I'm not sure how you can find sex discrimination if you can't articulate. what sex is crazy put a pin in that audience because we are definitely coming back to that issue keep going and then i mean i don't know i'm really curious to see what you think about this and maybe it's because like we have been living these cases out from we started in about 2015 first big stuff comes up 2017 where two boys take 15 state championships um from girls so that's how long we've been in this and i've been with these female athletes you've interviewed him and We have the privilege of representing three that are in that case. And I want it so badly to just stand up and scream, why are we not talking about the women here? I don't want to hear about HECOx or BPJ. I want to talk about these girls. The nonsense when the lawyer for BPJ in the second case, this is a boy pretending to be a girl who wants the right to playing girl sports, and said, The one thing you really shouldn't do in your ruling, because he was sensing that they were going to rule against him. And now this lawyer has switched to, let me limit my loss here so that it's just these 27 states can uphold their ban. But don't touch my 23 that affirmatively allow this. And so I think it was it was it Elena Kagan or was it Ketanji Brown Jackson was like, tell us what not. to rule. Like, tell us exactly how we're supposed to rule so that we can sort of protect these other rights. And he was like, for the love of God, don't define biological sex. What? It's stunning, but that is their argument. I mean, you know, we've got to look behind the curtain and know what is at issue in this? It is about biological reality, and it is about erasing the differences between men and women, and that cannot happen on our watch. It cannot happen. If their entire case is built around not defining biological sex, I think, I don't think it's going to go well for them. these, you know, the ACLU arguing on behalf of these trans athletes, 526 here on Houston's morning news. Time to take a look at your money.

And coming up at 538, Trump's exchange with a Ford worker. Details in the minutes ahead first. Let's check out that morning drive once again. This guy Mike is off today. He's not feeling well. Jason Bussick is in for him. Two left lanes are blocked off by a stalled vehicle on 290 heading westbound at Bingle, but some good news on the North Sam Houston Tullway Westbound at Highway 249, and earlier stalled vehicle here has been taken care of. A reminder for ongoing construction work on the north-freeway, northbound and southbound, the interchange ramp over to I10 Westbound is currently closed off.

Our top story this hour. There are very few things, if anything, that could enhance American national security more than seeing the Ayatollah and the mullahs removed from power by the Iranian people. Texas Senator Ted Cruz with KTRH is Clay Travis in Buck Sexton. Protests continue, and as many as 2000 have been killed so far. The president canceled all meetings with Iranian officials yesterday and called for protesters to take over the country.

over Greenland continued today as Congressman Darrell Issa says Greenland needs the U.S. as much as we need Greenland. Greenland needs to be under the protection, control, and potential development by the United States, and that a purchase could be in the best interest, both of Denmark, who cannot deal with that threat from Russia. Today's meeting includes Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. It is now 532. The Trump administration is defending its criminal investigation of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell over the cost of renovating the Fed's headquarters. talking about a billion dollars in cost overruns. Talk about fiscal irresponsibility. Talk about bureaucratic bloat. U.S. Attorney Janine Piro with KTRH's Sean Hannity. Now, the mainstream media is painting the president as the villain in this situation, but one political analyst says it's actually the opposite. That would be Breitbart Economics and Finance Editor John Carney. That's right. Jerome Powell did something very aggressive and unprecedented. Jerome Powell went to the media and said that the Trump administration is trying to undermine the Federal Reserve's independence. He's really out of bounds. He has, in fact, declared war on the Trump administration, which is completely inappropriate. He says Jerome Powell needs to go away in May and not try to stay on the board until 2028. Jeff Andy Biggs News Radio 740, KTRH. Overnight trading is down across the board this morning. Wall Street closed down yesterday. The markets are watching for earnings reports from Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Citigroup. The president wants to lower credit card interest rates to a max 10%. It's not going to be easy for him to do. Constitutional scholar Andy Trusovich says a presidential order can't force banks to play ball. A president can't make new laws with an executive order, but he can or she can implement an executive order of an existing law or a constitutional protection. There is no existing law limiting credit card interest rates, so it's up to Congress to work with the president on this. It's now 534. The Conroe Municipal Court judge arrested on a DWI charge last month at a campaign event last night, but he didn't want to talk about his legal issues. What did you mean, though, when you said you had a bad day? It's all in the statement, and there's a lot on that statement. You could read all of it. Judge Nick Wagner confronted by J. Juan Jung with our TV partner, Channel 2. Harris County Treasurer Carla Wyatt in hot water with the voters, not to mention legal trouble herself. Remember, she was arrested for a burglary charge, but don't expect any action to be taken against her by Harris County Democrats like Lina Hidalgo.

Gary Pollan with the Texas Conservative Review just last week, Judge Hidalgo said it was, quote, too early to consider removing Wyatt. The state of Texas is facing a growing doctor shortage, and it's probably going to get worse before it gets better. As the Texas population sores, the state predicts a shortage of 10,000 doctors by 2032. Dr. Mary Talley Bowden says the state needs to reform its licensing process, which takes too long. I also don't think Texas is as doctor-friendly as people might think based on what I have experienced. And I believe the medical side of our state is not consistent with the freedom-loving spirit of Texas. She and other doctors were targeted for punishment by the state medical board. during the pandemic. Last year, the legislature passed a law to allow the state to bring in more foreign trained doctors. Corey Olson, News Radio 740, KTRH. There are no shortages when it comes to data centers across Texas, but farmers are not fans of what's being installed next to their crops. Pollution concerns, energy and water resources, all that. Some guardrails are needed. Gary Joyner with the Texas Farm Bureau says they support a plan by Texas... Ag Commissioner Sid Miller to steer data centers toward land that is less suitable for farming. College basketball last night, the 7th ranked University of Houston Cougars are now 16 and 1 on the season. They blew out West Virginia 77 to 48. I'm Cliff Saunders right here on Houston's news weather and traffic station. News Radio 740, KTRH. A series of events. We can't afford to miss. In any event. Affordability crisis. Lower our interest rate. Check in. Lowling narco terrorists out of the water. Use Radio 740, KTRH. Well, yeah, the middle figure comes in handy. Every now and again, it's generally, if I ever use it, it's pretty rare. Just like the FU is pretty rare. I mean, you really, I really have to be at a point of being very angry to go in either direction when it comes to those things. And I also have to be out of an argument most of the time. That's usually where the FU comes from is frustration. And maybe that's what the president was feeling yesterday. The president was in Detroit. Speaking to the Detroit Economic Club, also got a tour of the Ford Motor Company Rouge power plant. and there are workers there, line workers there, they're building cars and such. And one of the workers started going off and screeching at the top of, I've heard it was a man who did it.

28:47

But it sounds like a woman, his screech is so high, caught on camera and given to TMZ for who knows how much money. Somebody caught that. And TMC has been airing it, and we're going to air it for you now so you can get the report. Actually, the report on what happened comes from WDIV Channel 4. in Detroit. The president also took a tour of Ford's Rouge complex where he got into a 10-6 change with a worker inside the facility in video obtained by TMZ. A worker on a floor below Trump can be heard shouting something that included the words, quote, pedophile protector. Apparently, of course, in reference to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and the delayed, heavily redacted release of the Epstein files. The president is then seen pointing down at the worker, either mouthing or yelling the F word and the word you, and then giving the middle finger. Now, TMZ says the White House communications director sent them a response, which reads, quote, a lunatic was wildly screaming expletives in a complete fit of rage, and the president gave an appropriate and unambiguous response, end quote. In a statement, a Ford Motor Company spokesperson said, quote, one of our core values is respect and we don't condone anyone saying anything inappropriate like that within our facilities. When that happens, we have a process to deal with it, but we don't get into specific personnel matters, end quote. Well, I will. He's been suspended. The worker, the worker's been suspended. for what he did. You know, there are all political persuasions working at a place like Ford Motor Company. I mean, thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands, tens of thousands of thousands of employees just in Detroit alone. So, yeah, you're bound to have a few people like that. The fact that they went off from the president and the president responded, I don't have a problem with the president responding. I would prefer a response in a more appropriate way. rather than the FU and the finger, but I understand where it comes from. So I'm not going to make a, I'm certainly not going to make an issue out of it. But that brings me to our question of the day, by the way, Ford, Ford Motor Company, named the most iconic company in America. So I don't know if you think it's the most iconic company in America, but if you have a company you think it's particularly iconic. at a national level or a state level or a local level or any and all of those things. You go to the iHeart Radio up, KTRH, hit the talkback button, first name where you're calling from, and companies you consider it to be iconic. Let's do a little traffic and weather together. As I said, Sky Mike is sick this morning. Jason Fossick is in for him. Two left lanes are blocked off by a solid vehicle on 290 heading westbound at Bingle, but some good news on the North Sam Houston Tullway Westbound at Highway 249. An earlier stalled vehicle here has been taken care of. A reminder for ongoing construction work on the north-freeway, northbound and southbound, the interchange ramp over to I10 Westbound is currently closed off. And Alt-90 Eastbound is closed down for construction work. It's closed out from Highway 288 over to Martin Luther King June Boulevard. Expect some delays. I'm Jason Fossig at the generator, supercenter.com traffic center.

32:04

generator super center 24 hour weather center Terry Smith is here we're going to have some gusty winds with that sunshine today so maybe that 68 degrees won't feel quite as warm It'll feel warmer than yesterday, but you've got a good point there. The cold front swings through at some point today. I haven't timed it out just yet, but it looks like maybe sometime this afternoon. And that's when the winds will start to pick up. For the most part, the winds will be in check, but we'll get some gusts perhaps up to around 30 miles an hour today. And that's going to bring in the cooler air that we have tonight and the cooler weather tomorrow. Here's the deal. The forecast is dry through the weekend, and every day the temperatures change, like dramatically change, not just warm up a little bit or cool down a little bit. Today is much warmer than yesterday, upper 60s to low 70s. Tomorrow. We cool down, upper 50s to low 60s. We'll warm up Friday near 70, cool down Saturday to near 60, and Sunday's a quiet day, and temperatures low to mid-60s, which that's what we expect in January.

Are you struggling with bad feet? Here at the good feet store, we hear a lot about foot pain, but we also hear about back knee and hip pain. I'd like you to hear what Kelsey, a kinesiologist, has to say about the good feet arch support system. As an exercise specialist, I've seen all kinds of things that people try to put in their shoes to get out of pain. What I really like about the good feet system is that they support all four arches in the foot. So did you know you had four arches in each foot? Most shoes and inserts only support one. Maybe that's the reason all the remedies you've tried in the past just didn't work. When the foot's placed in the ideal position, everything else up the kinetic chain works better. better balance, more energy, you're going to feel better. Being able to move freely and out of pain means everything to me. And good movement starts with the feet. Visit the store in Lafayette on Ambassador Caffrey Parkway next to Chicken Salad Chick, Baton Rouge in town center next to AT&T, or book your free fitting at goodfeet.com.

America's Social Casino. It is 5.50 now here in Houston's morning news. We have a doctor shortage here in Texas. And there are several reasons behind it, not the least of which is how much the state has grown. How many more people live in Texas now than did before? It is amazing occupation. Are we not putting enough people through medical school? Are the rules and regulations, licensing regulations, too difficult? What do we need to do to fix the problem? We'll talk to Dr. Mary Talley Bowden about this. She's coming up next. First, though, traffic and weathered together. Well, we'll get to it in a second here. Are we frozen? No, we're unfrozen. A new accident causing some minor slowdowns on the Gulf Freeway heading northbound at telephone road. First responders have the two right lanes blocked off. There's still a stalled vehicle in the two left lanes on 290 heading westbound at Bingle, but again, not causing too much of a slowdown this morning. You're also traffic free free over on a 10-minute drive from the North Sam Houston Tallway over to the North Freeway. And it'll take you five minutes heading eastbound, the 610 North Loop, no issues from the Eastex Freeway to the East Freeway. I'm Jason Fosick and the Ability Tree Experts Traffic Center.

There's a shortage of them. 5.52 is our time. Dr. Mary Talley Bowden joins us. We've talked to many times. A great physician, by the way, and a competent person to speak on this particular issue. How many doctors, you know, we talk about numbers of police and firefighters and when we're low on those numbers. And just in the city of Houston, for example, I think we're about, over a thousand police officers short. How many doctors short are we in the state of Texas, do you think? certain. There are 100,000 doctors in Texas, and you wouldn't believe this, but a quarter of those are trained in other countries. And from what I understand, they predict a 10,000 physician shortage in the next decade. I don't know what's going on. I have a friend that has been trying to get a license in Texas for over a year, so I don't know if the Texas Medical Board has some massive backlog.

43:37

But it is a big problem. They did pass a law that allows foreign medical graduates. to ease into our system much more quickly than they used to. They used to have to repeat their residency once they got over here. Now they have made it so they don't have to do that. They can just go straight into the system, which worries me. There's information out there saying that there could be fake licenses about. I mean, they've definitely seen this with the nursing situation. So that concerns me. Well, you know, we know that in some cases, you know, some of these foreign medical schools, for some reason the Caribbean comes to mind of places, you know, sort of these diploma mills putting, you know, people through the paces as far as getting some sort of a medical degree, that they're probably not at the same level of competency as we see here in the United States. So it seems to me we should be requiring more as far as testing of foreign doctors, not less. I completely agree. I completely agree. But yet the other factor to consider is AI. You know, Utah actually just allowed AI to provide refills for patient medications. So that's coming. AI is coming. I don't agree with it, but it is coming. That's scary. Yeah. That is really scary. I mean, just telodox are scary to me. Talking to some doctor in some other state doesn't know me from Adam. And I can tell them anything I want to about symptoms if I'm trying to shop for a medication, for example, and probably get a prescription for it. All right. I'm a huge believer in the physical exam that seems to have been gone by the wayside during, you know, the pandemic loosened everything on that regard. But there's a lot to be said for sitting in the room with a patient and, you know, even a face-to-face conversation is a lot better than just talking on the phone by far. Dr. Bowden, I want to ask you as well, we're talking about foreign doctors here, and I have absolutely nothing against foreign doctors. In fact, I would say that probably virtually all of my doctors right now, my heart specialist, several of my other doctors are foreign born, not born here in the United States. I don't see nearly as many typical American-born doctors as we used to see. Are we having fewer students going to medical school? And if so, why do you think that is? I don't think so. I believe it's just they haven't expanded the training. So, you know, they're just not growing with the population is from what I understand. But.

46:26

Yeah, you know, I don't have anything against them either. As long as they are very proficient in English, that's pretty important. And as long as they, you know, have valid training, I guess my concern is are we able to truly vet their training if they didn't train in the United States? And I'm guessing most of these Texas shortages are in rural areas, right? I don't know. I keep hearing from other patients that, oh, I can't get in to see somebody for months. I mean, it sounds like we're in Canada from the way people talk. Wow. Yeah, that's not good. That's not good. We don't want socialized medicine. I mean, we pay enough for health care that we should be able to see a doctor when we need to see them, shouldn't we? I completely agree. But either way, yeah, the insurance system is that people tend to gravitate towards that, which is understandable because they don't have to pay for it. But that system is flooded. The system I'm in, which is outside of the insurance system, you know, you have access to care very quickly. And there's a program called direct primary care. where it's basically like affordable concierge care. It's usually the cost of a gym membership, and you get much more access to your doctor. Now, you don't use your insurance, but you do get, you know, timely care. Usually you're seeing within a day or two of calling to need help. Yep, and well, if that's something you afford to do, that sounds like a good path to me. Dr. Bowden, thank you very much. Always good to talk to you. That's Dr. Mary Talibodin, joining us here on News Radio 740, KTRH.

Two right lanes are blocked off by an accident on the Gulf Freeway northbound at Telephone Road. If you're head in this direction, delays start from Greggs, adding a few minutes to your drive here due to some stop and go traffic. Things are also slow over on the Southwest Freeway northbound due to report of an accident around Chimney Rock. It's causing around a five-minute delay and delay start from the West Park tollway. Watch out for a stalled vehicle blocking off two left lanes on 290 westbound at Binkle. And a stall moved out of the main lanes now blocks off the left shoulder on the Gulf Freeway Northbound, the 610 South Loop. I'm Jason Fossack in the generator, supercenter.com traffic center.

It's time now for the news. Here's Cliff Saunders. 602. We are sponsored by the O'Carwish Financial Group and our top story, The Sour. Hey, we're sorry. More protests in Minneapolis nearly a week after Renee Good was shot and killed by an ice agent after she apparently tried to run him over. The left does not learn, though. One protester was dragged for her car. She was blocking ice agents from doing their job. Of course, the protests are stunts. The same for lawmakers showing up at ICE detention facilities. But now they've got to give notice before they do. And it's because the Dems visits are just publicity stunts. Just showing up to these detention facilities, you're pulling ICE officers away from their normal duties, and it's a publicity stunt creating a chaotic environment with heightened emotions. That is reporter Natalia Middlestat with just the news. She says Noam tried to do this last year. Noam had issued a similar one back in June. This is a similar memo. She's using a different legal basis. Democrats have already filed a lawsuit to try and get around it. Jeff Figgs News Radio 740, KT.R. Well, we mentioned that this could happen and now Democrats are saying the quiet part out loud. They might shut the government down at the end of the month over funding ICE.

51:04

Would you be willing to shut the government down when it comes to ICE funding like some of your Democratic colleagues have suggested? Well, listen, what I have said is that I can't see any way that I could provide more funding to an agency that is completely out of control. Minnesota Senator Tina Smith on CNN. President Trump announcing yesterday that the White House will stop federal funding to sanctuary cities and states beginning on February 1st. We are not going to, as a country, subsidize mass illegal immigration, mass criminal activity, and the mass theft of American taxpayer resources by individuals who have no right to be in this country at all in the first place. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller on Fox among the Democrat-run cities affected are New Orleans. Closer to home, San Antonio Democrats are all worked up at the increased presence of ICE agents there. and any cooperation from police in their city, so much so that there will be a special city council meeting next week. We'll have a good conversation about what we're required to do, but making sure we're still keeping all members of our community safe. That is one of the Democrats on City Council named Sukkor. Remember, Houston Mayor John Whitmire, he's had issues with his radical left here over HPD, working with ICE. In a recent trip to the border, Texas Senator John Cornyn took a very strong stance on policy and what some are calling a desperate bid to win the endorsement of President Trump in the primary against Ken Paxton and Wesley Hunt. The only way John Cornyn is going to be able to get an endorsement from Donald Trump is if he is the deciding vote on something taking place in the Senate that could make or break Donald Trump's entire presidency. That is Kenny Webster with the Walton & Johnson Show with our sister station 950 KPRC. 605, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in cases out of Idaho and West Virginia regarding their bans on men from playing women's sports. The Save Women's Sports case that's before the U.S. Supreme Court is going to be one of the most important decisions that they've made in quite some time. And it should be a simple decision and an easy issue for them. Jonathan Seines with Texas Values was in court during the arguments and says he's confident that at least five of the justices will rule to keep the pants in place. While the mainstream media is already telling you that Democrats will regain control of the House in November, ignoring Democrat and their really low approval ratings. If you're an American voter, you're looking at these saying, hey, I want to continue these policies for two more years. I don't want to go back to the Biden administration, back to the dark ages. I believe the Republican base is going to show up and show out. Republican strategist Jennifer Kelly says support for Trump's deportations are the highest since. the Obama administration. 606, a handful of high-profile death penalty cases are set to be taken up early this year in Texas.

Ford Motor Company got the number one spot, most iconic company in America, followed by Apple and Coca-Cola. So it got me thinking, okay, what companies do you find iconic? Not just at a national level, but at a state and local level. Is Bucky's iconic? I think if you're a Texan it is. So what would make your list? You go to the iHeart radio app, KTRH, first name where you're calling from, and companies either are national, or you could nominate more than one, national, state or local companies that you find to be iconic. Jimmy, hey, it's Andy from College Station. Hey, you can't meet a steaming hot bowl or wolf brand chili, brother. I feel like gallery furniture is an iconic company here in Houston. Mattress Mac got to Houston with nothing, a station wagon with his family, and he's built an empire. Very admirable. And he always does the right thing for Houston. Hey, good morning. This is Daniel from Katie Porter. A local iconic company, gallery furniture, national iconic company. Okay, Jimmy, I'm going to say Peckler and Coach. Those who know, no, Buckees and AGB. Good morning. This is Jack in Connecticut. Two of the most iconic brain names to me would be Dr. Pepper. Yes, I'm a Dr. Pepperholic and Campbell's, because my late wife was a Campbell. Hey, Jimmy, this is Wyatt from Katie Porter. Harley Davidson and Levi Strauss are two iconic American companies that I'd been a fan of since I was a kid. Unfortunately, they've both got on the way of DEI. I've owned many Harleys over the years. I sold my bike back in the summer, not necessarily because of their political leanings, but their political leanings did. make it easier to let go of. I also rarely buy Levi's anymore for the same reason. Me too, brother. Don't buy Levi's anymore. But the same thing with Budweiser. I think Budweiser would be on the, would be on a lot of people's most iconic list. But maybe the whole Bud Life fiasco is kind of tarnish that for you. Again, if you have a company you believe to be iconic, and by iconic, it means that, you know, a company that is shaped industries, culture, daily life. You know, something that you hear the name and you instantly know exactly what it is because everybody knows what it is. Those are companies I would deem to be iconic. You can do it on a national, a state, or a local level. IHeart Radio App, KTRH, first name where you're calling from in your most iconic companies. Just hit that talkback button. 610.

Two right lanes are blocked off by an accident on the Gulf Freeway Northbound at Telephone Road.

Things are also slow over on the Southwest Freeway northbound due to report of an accident around Chimney Rock. It's causing around a five-minute delay and delay start from the West Park tollway.

I certainly hope so. Hey, I have to add to the list of iconic brands. I know that Dr. Pepper was mentioned, and I do like Dr. Pepper, but Coca-Cola, I think, is a worldwide brand, not just in the United States, but a big brand across the world. Yep, they absolutely made that list. Oh, good. Well. Yay! All right, folks. Nice stretch of weather here. There's sunshine and no rain in the forecast through Sunday, so that's good news, whatever you've got to get done. Today's a little bit more comfortable right now.

So the war is kind of heating up between President Trump and Jerome Powell, and Jerome Powell evidently is trying to punch back a little bit. Of course, at this point, you know, he's facing some... Some potential criminal charges here as it relates to lying to Congress and as it also relates to, you know, what's been happening with the Fed renovation. We'll talk to John Carney, Finance and Economics Editor Breitbart News about this coming up next. First, though, we've got traffic and weather together.

1:01:25

Traffic is courtesy of Jason Fawcett. We now have confirmation for what lanes are blocked off due to the wreck on the Southwest Freeway Northbound at Chimney Rock. Three right lanes are blocking off the 15 minute back up from Belair. A big thanks to the tip line caller for calling this one in. Over on the Gulf Freeway southbound, things are pretty slow due to reports of an accident after Broadway, looking about a five-minute delay from the 610 South Loop. Still have a solid vehicle blocking off the two left lanes on 290 heading westbound at Bingle. But some good news on the Gulf Freeway northbound, the earlier crash a telephone has cleared.

Yeah, break them within the first week. We'll be breaking news. Because you never know what's going to happen. Use Radio 740, KTRH. Yeah, this is not a love pursuit, however. This is an angry Fed chairman who's facing some potential charges, and the president's not very happy either. So how's Jerome Powell planning to fight back? Let's talk about with John Carney. He's financing economics editor of Breitbart News. What, if anything, can Jerome Powell do about the problems he's having with President Trump? Well, one of the big things that I predict he probably will do is not step down from the Federal Reserve when his term as chairman ends this May. But he has another position at the Fed. All Fed chairman are also chairman and governors. And his governor position actually lasts until 2008. So I imagine as a sort of, you know, to get back at the administration, which he feels is... unfairly persecuting him. He is probably never going away. He's going to stick it out. Almost all 10 chairmen step down when their chairmanship end. They also leave their governor position. I think Jerome Powell's not going to do that. It's going to break with precedent. Everybody since 1948 has stepped down when their chairmanship ends, but Jerome Powell's not going to do it. Interesting. Well, let's assume you're right, and that's what happens. And let's assume

1:04:26

that grand jury subpoena turns into criminal charges. And let's assume, for the sake of argument, that he gets convicted either of contempt of Congress, relying to Congress, or is found guilty of some sort of a fraud charge as relates to the way over budget renovation of the Fed. At that point, would Trump have the ability to get rid of him on the board of governors? He would. I think the statute about this is very vague. It just says that the president can remove somebody for a cause. And I think if you don't even have to wait for a conviction, I think if you are indicted by a grand jury of a serious crime, that's enough. Certainly, perhaps even just being charged would be enough. But if he's indicted, I think Trump has cause to remove him. The question will be whether or not the U.S. Senate would then try to punish Trump for trying to remove Jerome Powell. Because remember, Trump needs to be able to get people confirmed, not just when they, when positions come up at the Fed, but elsewhere as well. So Trump needs to be able to not just be assured that a court would allow him to remove them. but also that senators would allow him to do so as well. All right, also for the sake of argument, John Carney, let's say that none of that happens and he does stay on the board of governors. What kind of damage can he do as a member of the board of governors against what Trump wants to accomplish with the Fed? I think it could be very damaging. There's a good reason why in the past the governors, the chairman always stepped down from the governor's seat. Because in essence, they would become the shadow chairman. They'll sit there and they've been working with all of these people for years and years. The chairman very well may be somebody pretty new. Somebody's not even on the Fed right now. And so that guy's coming in. He's supposed to take leadership of this organization. And instead you have... The guy who has been leading it sitting there across the table, he will in effect perhaps be the real chairman in all but name. I think that's very dangerous. It's very destabilizing. It'd be very bad for the institution of the Federal Reserve. It's why in the past they haven't done this. I'm not sure that's how Jerome Powell's looking at it. So I think he really might stick around unless, look, Trump might be able to come to a truce with him in some way. But right now, given how aggressive Jerome Powell has been in this whole matter, I think he's going to stick around and try to, he'll describe it as trying to save the Fed from Donald Trump. But in reality, what it will be is stay there and try to fight against Donald Trump's economic policies for the next two years. That'll be interesting to watch. Thank you, John Carney. Good to talk to you, sir. Appreciate it. Finance and Economics Editor at Breitbart News, John Carney. It's 627. It's time to take a look at your money.

Good morning. The U.S. expects domestic crude output to plateau this year as growth in the Permian Basin slows. The Permian Basin has been the largest driver of production growth in America, but the energy information administration predicts that the momentum is set to stall this year. The surplus in oil has pushed prices down. I'm Courtney Dunahoe. Bloomberg Business on News Radio 740, KTRH. Houston's, news, weather, traffic, plus breaking news 24-7. This is News Radio 740, KTRH. Live everywhere with the IRRF. More of what's happening now from the John Moore Services Studios. It's 630. Here on Houston's Morning News, I'm Jimmy Amy Coney Barrett. Among our top stories this half hour. Jerome Powell punching back at President Trump. Trump urges the Iranian protesters to keep fighting. And coming up at 638, more of your nominees for most iconic businesses, most iconic companies. It doesn't have to be a bit. Well, I guess all companies are business. Same thing, right? First, though, let's check out that drive. Jason Fawc is filling in for Skymic. The right lane is blocked off by an accident on the Southwest Freeway northbound at West Airport Boulevard. Continuing northbound on the Southwest Freeway at Chimney Rock, an accident blocks off three right lanes. and the right shoulder. It's causing a 25 to 30-minute backup and delays our start for Bel Air Boulevard. There's about 10-minute slowdown caused by a wreck on the Gulf Freeway southbound after Broadway. You're backed up from the 610 South Loop. Installed vehicle blocks off two left lanes on 290 westbound at Bingle. I'm Jason Fossack and the generator supercenter.com traffic center.

We'll get the complete forecast with Terry Smith at the Weather Channel. In nine minutes. Currently 47 at your official severe weather station, News Radio 740, KTRH. It's time now for the news. Here's Cliff Saunders. 631 on KTRH, our top story this morning. If I had the help of the Fed, it would be easier, but that jerk will be gone soon. President Trump yesterday talking about Fed Chair Jerome Powell at a speech in Detroit, the criminal investigation into Jerome Powell continues over the cost of renovating the Fed's headquarters. Now, as the feud between Trump and Jerome Powell escalates, Breitbart's John Carney says it's Jerome Powell who's declared war on the Trump administration. He put up a video declaring that he had received subpoenas and said that this was an attempt by the Trump administration to undermine Federal Reserve independence. Now, Donald Trump, he didn't even know that subpoenas had gone out. The truth is, Jerome Powell has ignored questions about the renovations. Carney says we haven't seen a feud like this since Jimmy Carter in the 70s. Overnight trading is down.

1:11:02

Across the board, Wall Street was down yesterday. Now, Jerome Powell isn't the only banker taking Trump on. Others are up in arms over what he wants to do with credit cards. That's lower credit card interest rates to a maximum 10%, but he's going to need help. He hasn't said he's going to do it by executive order yet. But if he tries, that will be held unconstitutional. That's Andy Trucevich, a constitutional scholar who says executive orders do not have the force of law. But if there are enough in Congress who aren't already owned by banks, maybe a law can be crafted in cooperation with the president. That's about the only way to get her done. Banks say with such a law, though, there would be a lot fewer credit card offers. Mike Shiloh, News Radio 740, KTRH. It is now 633. Protests continue in Iran against the Islamic regime there. President Trump canceled meetings with Iranian officials yesterday and called for the protesters to take over the country. I think we should do everything we can to encourage it without taking it over while leaving the Iranian people as the prime movers that this is their country and they should be determined. their future. Elsewhere, the interim government in Venezuela has released at least four American citizens who are imprisoned under President Nicholas Maduro's regime. Meetings between American and European officials over Greenland continue today. President Trump recently reiterated his interest in acquiring or purchasing Greenland, saying NATO should want the U.S. to have more control in the interest of European and American security. Greenland is currently an autonomous part of Denmark, and Greenland's prime minister said alongside the Danish prime minister Tuesday, they face a geopolitical crisis, and if they have to choose between the U.S. and Denmark, they choose Denmark. That is Fox's Jessica Rosenthal reporting. 634 now on KTRH. I just wanted to speak with you and give you an opportunity to just speak to your constituents and explain yourself. Yes, I released a statement and that's available. That's Nick Wagner, the Conroe Municipal Court Judge arrested on DWI charges in December. He held a campaign event last night, but did not want to talk about his legal issues when confronted by our TV partner Channel 2. Harris County voters are raising concerns about county treasurer Carla Wyatt. She was charged with burglary of a vehicle last month. This comes after a drunk driving charge in 2024. The DWI was dismissed after a pretrial diversion program, but voters are seeing a pattern. The second running with the law since she's been in office. As voters, we expect our office holders to not be charged with violating the law. Gary Pollan with the Texas Conservative Review says this most recent case could be the end of her political career. She's going to be challenged this year. There's a strong Republican candidate. I don't know if she has a primary opponent or not. The ultimate way to deal with her is at the ballot box.

Landing a first real job is getting tougher for younger Texans, especially in careers impacted by artificial intelligence. Economic strategist Dan Veroni says, make sure you can compete, learn how to use AI instead of competing against it. Equipment and software isn't going to do jobs. Somebody's going to need to operate the AI and to program it. That's where the opportunities are. A new Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas report shows fewer 20 to 24-year-olds are being hired into white collar jobs. as companies rethink how AI fits into their business plans.

What's started in your car now works on your phone with the new iHeartRadio app. The new presets are fantastic. Get Houston's news, weather and traffic. That's how I listen to KTRH. Instantly. Oh, that's for you, Mattress, Mack, for getting all these nominations this morning for most iconic Houston company. And I agree, they deserve to be on the list. What prompted the conversation about iconic companies is this latest list. of the most iconic national companies. You'll find Ford Motor Company, number one. Apple came in second. Coca-Cola came in third. Walmart, by the way, came in fourth. But I'm curious who makes your list not only of national companies that you find to be the most iconic, but state and local companies that you find also to be the most iconic. If you want to participate, you go to the I-Heart Radio app, KTRH. Please make us number one on your preset so you can get there fast and easy. Hit the talkback button, first name where you're calling from, and your list. You can do more than one if you want. Your list of either national and or state and or local companies you find to be the most iconic. Hey, this is J.R. A brand. No one will remember, but everybody has used it and is old as dirt. It's the shoe polish kiwi.

1:16:46

Jimmy, a lot of the brands that I consider iconic are Texas-based, like H&B, Bucke's, Waterburger, Dodger Pepper, and James Avery Jewelry. On the national level? Chick-fil-A is definitely one of the bigger icons on a national level. I think American Eagle has really soared to greater heights as well. Hey, Jimmy James from Highlands on a national scale, Smith and Wesson would be an iconic company, and Bucky's, of course, on the local scale. Hey, Jimmy, Rick, from the east side, I think one of the very top most iconic here in the Houston area are you guys, K-E-R-H. You guys have been here for us through thick and thin. We can always count you guys to make sure we get through any kind of disasters. Dave on Lake Conroe. What about R.C. Cola and a moon pie and fall staff beer. Hey guys, Mark out of England. Locally, there's Buckees, which we all know. Of course, they are trying to branch you out in other states. In fact, we're talking about California, New York, and Minnesota, but they decided to stay in the United States. That's funny. By the way, no disrespect to Falstaff beer, but I think in order to qualify as iconic, you still have to be around, right? You have to have been around for a long, long time, and you still have to be around to truly be iconic. That would only be the only rule I'd put on that. Again, if you want to participate, go to the IHRRH, first name where you're calling from, and your most iconic, either national and or state and or local companies. 640, time for traffic and weather together. As we check out the drive once again, Skymike's not feeling well this morning. Hope to get him back tomorrow. Jason Fossack is in for him this morning.

From our KTRH, generator super center, 24-hour weather center. Terry Smith joins us. She has the forecast. Calm winds for now, but not for later this afternoon when that cold front comes through. Yeah, once that front swings through, you will definitely feel... the change in the winds. Right now, we've got a light westerly wind. The winds will shift and become more northerly, and they'll definitely pick up. It's going to be breezy this afternoon. Now, the nice thing is we get a chance to warm up before that front moves through. So we'll wind up today, warmer than yesterday, by about...

1:19:43

10 degrees for most everybody, somewhere between the upper 60s to low 70s today. But then the winds relax a little bit tonight and that colder, drier air moves in. So it's going to be a little bit chilly, at least compared to recently. Upper 30s to mid-40s tonight. Tomorrow. We're sunny, we're dry, near 60. The weekend's also sunny and dry. Friday, briefly warmer near 70. Another cold front swings through, no rain with the front, but over the weekend, temperatures, for the most part, loaded mid-60s.

Coming up on 650 here on Houston's morning news. Jesse Waters on Fox made some interesting observations about liberal women and how their hatred for men is manifesting itself in transferring itself into their hatred for ice. I'm going to share that audio with you coming up next along with timeline. But first at 650, let's do a little traffic and weather together. As I said, Sky Mike, not feeling well today. He's got the day off. Jason Fawcig is in for him. A stalled metro bus blocks off the left lane on the 610 westbound before Post Oak Boulevard. It's the reason to speed and go starting from Highway 2.90, 2.90, 2ndnd, slowdown. A big thanks to Jerry from Cyprus for calling this one in. There's still a stalled vehicle blocking off two left lanes on 290 westbound at Bingle. Two left lanes are blocked off by a wreck on the Gulf Freeway southbound after Broadway, causing a 30-minute backup from Broad Street. But the earlier crash on the southwest freeway northbound at Chimby Rock has been. cleared. I'm Jason Fossig and the Ability Tree Experts Traffic Center. From our KTRH generator super center, 24-hour weather center, sunny, gusty winds, warmer today. High today will be right about 70. Sunny and cooler cold front coming through this evening and will only be at 60 for the high tomorrow and then back up near 70 with sunshine and warmer on Friday. Currently 47 at your official severe weather station. News Radio 740 KTRH. This is in our newsroom. He has an update on some of our top stories. The White House ends federal funding for sanctuary cities and states. At least four people are dead in a Russian attack on Ukraine's power grid. And gold prices hit a record $800 an ounce back on this day in 1980. That price today, $4,600 bucks. At the latest news anytime at KTRH.com, our next update is at 7. Our 59 inbound at the loop is always a problem. KTRH time saving traffic. Next on the 10. So, I don't know, is it daddy issues? I don't think the explanation is quite that simple, but Jesse Waters on this program last night. Talking about ultra-progressive liberal women who hate men in general. And evidently that's not enough. They're transferring that hate over to hatred for ice. Here's what he said. Are these ladies looking for a new type of exercise? Psychiatrists are telling prime time that these women have deep rooted anger issues. And immigration agents are just an excuse for a punching bag. You know one thing that hating men has trained me for is literally trained me for chasing ice cars off of my street, five of them right now. following down the neighborhood, honking, blowing whistles, telling them the . All that rage that I have felt towards men is coming out. I have been trained for this moment. The rage that I have felt towards men is coming out, quote unquote. And there we have it. A confession or a window into their thinking. Any Johnson hit on it last night. Watch. If you are a woman, you're still created by God with a motherly instinct. It's just when you don't have children, that instinct moves somewhere else. And for leftists, that primary instinct has moved to the criminal alien. Why? Because your instinct as a parent is to raise up your own children with the same value system that you have so that your worldview can progress. So your worldview can stay alive and not go extinct. The Democrat Party is going extinct by...

1:24:29

choice, they're not having children, and they're trying to project their worldview and power onto criminal aliens. They sent men's jobs to China, called us toxic, me too, to half the country, called us racist and sexist for not voting for Kamala Harris, and now men protecting the streets have bounties on their heads by cartels and moms. The ICE agent who defended himself against Renee Good has been forced to go underground. I know for a fact, you know, now he has to be in hiding. I've seen a post this morning on the way to the studio here with his picture wanted for murder for the safety of him and his family. I mean, there are wanted posters with his picture, his license plate number, you know, and he's the death threats against him and his family. Here's the part I'm still trying to figure out because I think in general. It's safe to say that women are, compared to men, are not violent creatures for the most part, but they seem to be becoming more physical, more aggressive, more violent. Do you feel that way too? Not all women, certainly. Not by any stretch of imagination. But some of these women have been worked into a fever pitch where they are becoming very, very aggressive. 6.55 time for the timeline. Let me see here. I got my prize sheet here. It's here. It's in my pile of stuff. Here we go. One more page. There it is. We have another pair of tickets for Herb Albert and the T1 of Brass.

It's more of what matters to you from the John Moore Services Studios. 7 a.m. our time. You're in Houston's morning news. I'm Jimmy Amy Coney Barrett.

And coming up at 708, Bill Maher, scolding Democrats for their war on men. Details in the minutes ahead. First, we're checking out that morning drive once again. Came for Sky Mike. Here's Jason Fawcett.

1:28:27

The left lane is blocked off by a stalled venture bus in a 610 West Loop Southbound before Post Oak Boulevard. It's adding about 15 minutes to your drive and delay start from Highway 290. On the feeder of the North Sam Houston tollway, eastbound a crash blocks off the right lane at the Eastex Freeway. Some good news on the Gulf Freeway southbound, though. The earlier crash after Broadway has been taken care of and speeds are starting to get back to normal. And the stalled vehicle has been taken out of the left lanes on 290 westbound at Binkle. Now all lanes are back open. I'm Jason Fossick in the generator, supercenter.com traffic center. From our KTRH, top tax defenders 24-hour weather center, sunny, gusty winds, warmer today with a high temperature right about 70. We'll get Terry Smith in here. She has the updated forecast in about nine minutes. Right now 48. And your official severe weather station, news radio 740 KTRH. It's time now for the news. Here's Cliff Saunders. 701 on KTRH as we're sponsored by Synergenics Health, our top story this hour. Starting February 1st, we're not making any payments to sanctuary cities or states having sanctuary cities. President Trump in Detroit with that announcement, this will affect blue states like New York, California, Minnesota, cities like Chicago, Boston and New Orleans, all run by Democrats. This comes as the left continues to complain about the Renee Good shooting in Minneapolis. Jacob Frey, the mayor there, asked by Fox and Friends if he supports Abolishing Ice. I do not support Abolishing Ice. However, I... absolutely opposed the way that this administration is conducting themselves with us. More protests in that city as a woman is pulled from a car by agents in a video that's gone viral. She was blocking traffic and calling agents Nazi, something the left is not telling you. Those protests are stunts, as are the visits to ICE detention centers by Democrat lawmakers. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is now requiring members of Congress to give a week's notice before they show up at these. centers. Her intent is to give ICE employees time to prepare for any Congress members coming to visit and to make sure that it's actually oversight activities that are being conducted and not a quote unquote circus-like publicity stunt. Natalia Middleset with Just the News says the Democrats have tried to use lawfare to get around this. Closer to home, Democrats in San Antonio are all worked up at the increased presence of ICE agents there and with the help of the local cops. What is SAPD's role in partnering with state and federal officials? Democrat City Council member Sukk Corr there. There's a city council next week. There's a meeting of the city council next week just to talk about this. Houston Mayor John Whitmire has had issues with Democrats to the left of him in Houston because of HPD's cooperation with ICE. Meanwhile, Texas Senator John Cornyn in the middle of a tight primary campaign against Ken Paxton. is sounding more mega when it comes to the border.

1:31:23

During the trip, he called for the completion of the border wall, despite opposing it initially. He'll say anything in a heartbeat to get a vote. John Cornyn is from the old school Republican Party, the Amnesty Open Border Republican Party. That's Kenny Webster with our sister station AM 950, calling out John Cornyn's 20-year record on border security. John Cornyn is a guy who spent a lot of time helping get people into the country. He was an advocate to import more refugees from Afghanistan. Webster says John Cornyn is just trying to get President Trump's endorsement. which isn't likely to happen. Ethan Buchanan, News Radio 740, KTRH. By the way, John Cornyn flipped his stance on Afghanistan refugees late last year. It's now 704. The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in cases challenging a ban on boys playing girls' sports. Education Secretary Linda McMahon says this should be a no-brainer. The president clearly with his executive order stated that boys are boys and girls are girls and boys will not be allowed to play. in girls sports. We're expecting a decision on this in late June. Being in the courtroom did give me some pretty good insight and perspective, not only to hear, but to see the different reactions of the judges. I feel confident that we'll have at least five, if not six votes in favor of allowing states to have these laws that protect women's sports. Jonathan signs with Texas values, by the way, we could get a ruling from the high court on tariffs at 9 o'clock this morning. It's now 7.05. The midterms are 10 months away, but the mainstream media is already trying to convince you. that House Democrats have a path to winning the majority. They think that despite their unpopularity and the odds. Of the 22 seats that are up for the midterms, 20 of those seats, President Trump won by 20 points or more. Republican strategist Jennifer Kelly says it's a very narrow path forward, mostly because people support Trump's mission, especially when it comes to deporting illegals. The highest level of people who believe that since the Obama administration. That's pretty significant, but you wouldn't believe that if you were just watching the mainstream. She says the GOP base will turn out and the House will stay red. Andre Parrard News Radio 740, KTRH. Former President Bill Clinton defied a congressional subpoena and did not appear for the House Oversight Committee looking into Jeffrey Epstein. No one's accusing Bill Clinton of any wrongdoing. We just have questions and that's why the Democrats voted along with Republicans to subpoena Bill Clinton. Not a single Democrat showed up. Committee Chair James Comer there. Hillary Clinton is supposed to testify today. We don't know if she's going to actually show up. 706 DHS has invested $115 million into drone tech ahead of the World Cup soccer tournament with several games scheduled to be played right here in Houston. Just as we utilize drones, the bad guys do too. But there are certain city ordinances. that prohibit drone usage within the city and around certain areas and specifically for certain events. Retired HPD captain, Dr. Greg Freeman, says drones are an invaluable resource for law enforcement. The Houston Rocket snapped air three-game losing street beating Chicago 119 to 113. Kevin Durant, a double double of 28 points and 10 rebounds. They play the NBA champion Thunder.

tomorrow night. I'm Cliff Saunders on Houston's News Weather and Traffic Station, News Radio 740, KTRH. Traffic and weather, when you need it most, every 10 minutes on the tens. This is Houston's Morning News with Jimmy Amy Coney Barrett and the Houston Morning News team. Here's golf legend John Daly. Hell yeah, these wins are piling up faster than my divorces.

Moto Casino is the Social Casino Board were prohibited to purchase necessary visit Moto. Wow. Isn't that lovely? A little hate in the morning, right? Never heard anybody. 707 our time here in Houston's morning news. Bill Maher continues to impress me from this standpoint. He has been more than willing to call out the progressive far-left for what they have done to liberalism and what they have done to the Democrat Party. Because that wing of the party is fully in charge. Completely and fully in charge. And just as we shared with you, if you were tuned in about 15 minutes ago, some audio from Fox of... you know, a far left liberal woman, you know, taking her hate of men and transferring over to ICE agents and then being, you know, in the aggressive style that they're using to try to docks ICE agents, to try to interfere with them, to try to physically assault them. And we have a lot of very young, very unhappy progressive women who are doing this. But that, part of that has to be. what the party has been teaching about men in general. Here's Bill Maher scolding the Democrat Party for what they've been doing to men. and some reaction to it from Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on the five. Just so much like a bit shaming. A lot of it, you know, people wonder why so many young men vote for Trump. Well, maybe because, you know, he's one guy who doesn't make you feel guilty just for being born with the d'b-you know. It's true. If you're 22, you don't remember a time when it was the reverse. So you've only seen the backlash. You've only seen white men bad. You know, it's funny. It's taken Billmore a long time to come around because for so many years he was just lobbing hunks of red meat at progressives, but he realized that there are diminishing returns, coutowing to the left because the left is always going to cannibalize its own. And it's interesting because even though they eat their own, they still somehow grow enough power. And then they have someone like Zohran Mamdani, who's elected in New York. And even he's getting on the, yeah, I'm a.

1:37:41

I'm a bro. I'm a podcast bro train. And he is hardly the picture of masculinity that I think young men are going to gravitate toward, especially when their taxes go up and their possibilities dissolve in New York, which is going to crater when all the billionaires leave like they are from California. Are there any real bros, Democrat politicians who are bros? Man, I can't think of a one. Maybe John Fetterman. Give him at least a half a point for being a half a bro. But that's about it. That's about it. 7-10, time for traffic and weathered together as we check in with Jason Fossack. The left lane is blocked off by a stalled metro bus on the 610 Westleaf southbound before Post Oak Boulevard. It's adding about 15 minutes to your drive and delay start from Highway 290. On the feeder of the North Sam Houston tollway, eastbound a crash blocks off the right lane at the Eastex Freeway. Some good news on the Gulf Freeway southbound, though. The earlier crash after Broadway has been taken care of and speeds are starting to get back to normal. And the stolid vehicle has been taken out of the left lanes on 290 westbound and binkled. Now all lanes are back open. I'm Jason Fossack in the generator, supercenter.com traffic center. From our KTRH, top tax defenders, 24-hour weather center. Time to check in with Terry Smith. Lots of blue sky out there this morning. Calm winds. It's a nice start to our day, Terry. Yeah, it is a nice. It's really going to be a nice stretch to weather. Okay, I have a question for you. What is something that you like to eat that's healthy? Ooh, that's a hard question. Just pull one thing out of your hat, just one healthy thing. Okay, asparagus. Okay, asparagus. So our weather is like a diet of nothing but asparagus. Okay, can I change that to steak? Well, yeah, you can change it to steak. But here's my point. My motto is, variety is the spice of life. Too much of a good thing is not good. Too much steak is not good. Too much asparagus is not good. Too much sunshine and no rain. Not good. We are in real need of some rain around here. And there is none right now through Sunday. Maybe next week it does look like we may have a shift in the pattern. So I got my fingers crossed. In the meantime, I do enjoy the sunshine, and I do enjoy a warmer day, and I hope you get a chance to as well. It is going to be warmer. Upper 60s to low 70s today. Tomorrow does cool back down. We got this little temperature seesaw thing going on. Upper 50s to low 60s tomorrow, warming up Friday near 70. And then over the weekend, it's a little bit cooler, mainly low to mid-60s over the weekend. Right now 48 at your official, severe weather station, news radio 740, KTRH.

All right, so as I said, DHS Secretary Christine HOM has issued a brand new order. Natalia Middlestadt, reported for Just the News, has an article about this story. It requires a one-week notice by any member of Congress that they want to visit an ICE detention facility. And she lists some very good reasons in an article, Natalia. Why don't you go over the reasons why Kristi Noem says this is necessary? Sure. So as she explained, the basis for the new policy is that they can ensure that adequate protection for members of Congress, congressional staff, detainees, and ICE employees is provided when Congress members visit with their staff. And of course, along with that, I mean, there are other things that happen when somebody from Congress just all of a sudden shows up with a bunch of television cameras, right? That can cause all sorts of problems, not the least of which is you have ICE agents that are supposed to be doing certain functions that have to be pulled off of those functions in order to accommodate the member of Congress. Exactly. And this comes obviously after last May when there was the incident at the Newark Ice facility and the mayor was arrested and all that. And so this is to ensure that as Noam says in the memo, there's no quote unquote circus-like publicity stunts, but it's actually legitimate oversight and there won't be any chaotic environments with tightened motions that she said. Has there been any reaction from Congress up until this point? Are any of them speaking out about what it is the secretary wants to do? Yeah, so actually, the reason this memo came to light is because Representative Joe Naguose of Colorado and other Democratic lawmakers filed a lawsuit over this memo on Saturday. And so they are pushing back against it trying to get it struck down. This is the second. noticed that's like this. Originally, Kristi Noem did one back in June, but it was struck down by a court in December, and so they found a different legal basis for this one, and so now it's being taken back to court. Okay. Have any of them given a good reason? Because clearly, it is, to a certain extent, there is a safety issue here. I think Christy Numb has made a pretty good point about the safety issue for everybody involved. including ICE detainees themselves. So how are they going to attempt to make this argument that they should be able to show up unannounced whenever they want to? Yeah, the way they're going about it is they're saying, oh, well, we can't have proper oversight if we're not allowed to just show up when we want. And obviously, Kristi Noem is pointing out the safety issues with that and trying to make it, you know, a way that they could, you know, visit and conduct oversight, just making sure that everybody is safe. And she even said that if they want to visit before a week's time, like, she can improve it personally. So there's that option as well. All right. Well, I'm guessing that how this turns out in court depends on which court is hearing it. Which court is going to hear this case?

1:45:54

Yeah, so right now this is, but we filed with, yeah, the U.S. District Court for D.C., which is the same one that struck it down back in December. Okay, so this is, like everything else, this will go through an appeals process and at some point in time, she'll probably the order will be upheld, but it won't be at the local level, will it? Yeah, it's a possibility. We'll see what happens. Indeed, we will. Thank you, Natalia. Appreciate it. There's Natalia Middlestat. She's a reporter for just the news. 726 here on News Radio 740, KTRH.

There are very few things, if anything, that could enhance American national security more than seeing the Ayatollah and the Mullahs removed from power by the Iranian people. Texas Senator Ted Cruz with KTRH's Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. Protests continue in Iran as many as 2,000 protesters have been killed. The president canceled all meetings with Iranian officials yesterday and called for protesters. to take over the country.

Meetings between American and European officials over Greenland continue today. California Republican Congressman Daryl Isis says Greenland needs the U.S. as much as we need Greenland.

U.S. Attorney Janine Piro with KTRH is Sean Hannity. The mainstream media is painting Trump is the villain in this story, but one political analyst says it's actually quite the opposite. That would be Breitbart Economics and Finance Editor John Carney. That's right. Jerome Powell did something very aggressive and unprecedented. Jerome Powell went to the media and said that the Trump administration is trying to undermine the Federal Reserve's independence. He's really out of bounds. He has in fact declared war on the Trump administration, which is completely inappropriate. He says Jerome Powell needs to go away in May and not try to stay on the board until 2028.

P-R-H. Overnight trading is down this morning, another down day on Wall Street yesterday, and we're watching for earnings reports from Wells Fargo and Citigroup, already Bank of America, topping some expectations. President Trump wants to lower credit card interest rates to a maximum 10%. It's not going to be easy, though. Constitutional scholar Andy Trucevich says a presidential order can't force banks to play ball. A president can't make new laws with an executive order, but he can or she can implement an executive order of an existing law or a constitutional protection. There is no existing law limiting credit card interest rates, so it's up to Congress to work with the president on this. 734, the Conroe Municipal Court judge arrested in December on drunk driving charges had a campaign event last night, but don't ask him about his legal issues. What did you mean, though, when you said you had a bad day? It's all in the statement, and there's a lot on that statement. You could read all of it. Judge Nick Wagner confronted by a reporter with our TV partner Channel 2. Harris County Treasurer Dr. Carla Wyatt is in hot water with voters, not to mention legal trouble. Remember, she was arrested for a burglary charge, but don't expect to be... Seeing any action taken against her by Harris County Democrats, including the county judge.

Gary Pollan with the Texas Conservative Review. Now, last week, County Judge Lina Hidalgo said it was too early to consider removing Wyatt. The state of Texas is facing a growing doctor shortage. It's likely to get worse before it gets better. As the Texas population sores, the state predicts a shortage of 10,000 doctors by 2032. Dr. Mary Talley Bowden says the state needs to reform its licensing process, which takes too long. I also don't think Texas is as doctor-friendly as people might think based on what I have experience. And I believe the medical side of our state is not consistent with the freedom-loving spirit of Texas. She and other doctors were targeted for punishment by the state medical board. during the pandemic. Last year, the legislature passed a law to allow the state to bring in more foreign trained doctors. Corey Olson, News Radio 740, KTRH. We have no shortages when it comes to data centers across Texas, but farmers here are not fans of what's being put in place next to their crops. Solution concerns, energy and water resources. All that. Some guardrails are needed. Gary Joyner with the Texas Farm Bureau says they support a plan by Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller to steer data centers towards land that is less suitable for farming.

Now back to Jimmy Amy Coney Barrett and the Houston Morning News team. Houston's Morning News. Is that an iconic brand, do you think? Yo, we're having some fun with this this morning. A lot of names that we all grew up with. To me, if you're iconic, you have to be somebody who's shaped in an entire industry. Ford Motor Company is iconic, not because they're necessarily the best car company. Not necessarily because you own or drive a Ford, not even necessarily because they're still in business, although I think you still have to be in business to be iconic, but because of Henry Ford. And what he did to really begin the auto industry here in the United States. That's why Ford ends up being an iconic company, and General Motors, not necessarily so. Coca-Cola. Agreed. Trendsetter, started the whole soda movement. There was no such thing as soda before Coca-Cola. For us, Dr. Pepper, because it's Texas. So, Coca-Cola might be a national brand that's iconic, while Dr. Pepper is a iconic Texas brand. But, again, I guess it's subjective to a certain point. What companies do you find to be the most iconic, either on a national level, state level, local level, your choice? My list of iconic brands would be Jeep, Peterbilt, and Greyhound. Nobody likes the old gray dog, but they're always there if you need them. Hey, Jimmy, Sean, from Pasadena. I grew up with Augie Bush, so I'm going to have to say Anheuser-Bush beer and Glock. Those are the two that ring out in my mind. Hey Jimmy, this is Jim, a long store of beer. And as far as Chick-fil-A goes, I'll piss on them. Jeez. Okay. No need for that. Just go somewhere else. Is Waterburger iconic? Nobody's mentioning Wonderburger. Is Waterburger iconic? At least the Texans? Don't we mention Buckie's. Is Buckie's iconic, at least the Texans? You go to the iHeart radio app, KTRH, first name where you're calling from and the companies you find to be most iconic. 740, time for traffic and weather together. Skymite. We miss him today. He's not feeling well. Jason Fossack is in for him. There's about a 30-minute backup being caused by a wreck on the KD Freeway eastbound at Mason that blocks off two right lane at Mason that blocks off to light. It starts from the car. You can use all media here as a good alternate to get around these slowdowns. Over on the west, Sam Houston's hallway, southbound a Philippine an accident flocks off the left lane. It's also causing a 10-minute backup and needs to lay a start from Fallbrook. Try 290 as a good alternate. I'm Jason Fossack and the Ability Tree Experts Traffic Center. From our KTRH, generator super center, 24-hour weather center for today. Some gusty winds, warmer. Looks like about 70 for a high today. Sunny cooler, there's 60 for tomorrow, right, Terry? What happens after- You got this? You got this thing down. I do have it down, but what I don't have down is I don't have the weekend down. have Friday through the weekend. Are we still doing the up and down thing? Or are we going to kind of level the playing field here? We got another coal front that's going to swing through sometime late Friday. So Friday gets a chance to warm up into the upper 60s to low 70. So it'll be much like what we have today. And then another dry front will swing through and cool the temperatures Saturday and Sunday. Looks like the weekend, the afternoon temperatures generally low to mid-60s. I'm looking a little bit further ahead because I really want to.

Accidents and alternates. Next on the 10. On 740 KTRH. It is 750 now here in Houston's morning news. So no big surprise that Bill Clinton did not show up to testify in front of Congress yesterday like he was supposed to. The question becomes whether or not he can or will be charged with contempt of Congress for not showing up. Certainly. His attorney is going to argue that he didn't have to show up legally. James Comer has a different idea about all this. We'll share some audio with you coming up next. First, though, let's do traffic and weather together as we check out the drive once again. Here's Jason Fawc. There's about a 30-minute backup being caused by a wreck on the KD Freeway eastbound at Mason that blocks off two right lanes and has the wall tied up starting from Highway 90.

Time to check in with Cliff for an update on some of our top stories. The free federal funding ride is over for sanctuary states and cities. Hillary Clinton, as Jimmy just mentioned, is supposed to testify about Jeffrey Epstein today for the House Oversight Committee. We know that Bill skipped his testimony yesterday. And a Starbucks barista in California fired for good reason, drawing a pig on a coffee cup served to an L.A. County Sheriff's deputy. Get the latest news anytime at KTRH.com. Our next update is at 8 o'clock. I live in Pasadena. Sharptown, Southwest. Next on the 10. Time saving traffic on 740 KTRH. What is it about that song that reminds me of Bill Clinton? You know, the infamous blue dress. Anyway, 752 here on Houston's morning news. So Bill Clinton desperately does not want to testify in any way, shape, or form about Jeffrey Epstein. I mean, he went to Epstein's island like 26, 27 times. Who's on his plane?

2:01:45

I don't know how many times he actually showed up on the island, but I don't know how personal... The questioning was going to get. James Comer was trying to signal, oh, it's not going to get you. We're not accusing him of any wrongdoing. He's just afraid that he's going to have to take the fifth for every question you ask, Representative Comer. After his no-show at the congressional hearing yesterday, here's James Comer speaking to the press. I think everyone knows by now Bill Clinton did not show up. And I think it's important to note that this subpoena. was voted on in a bipartisan manner by this committee. This wasn't something that I just issued as chairman of the committee. This was voted on by the entire committee in a unanimous vote of the House Oversight Committee to subpoena former President Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Now Hillary Clinton is supposed to show up tomorrow. We'll see what happens there. But with respect to the former president, He did not show up today. One reason I think most Americans want President Clinton to answer some questions is because he visited the White House. Jeffrey Epstein visited the White House 17 times while Bill Clinton was president. I've been in Congress nine years. I think I've been to the White House nine times to nine years. Epstein was in the White House double the amount of time that I was under one president. And then we know that Bill Clinton flew on Epstein's plane somewhere around 27 times after the presidency. So no one's accusing Bill Clinton of any wrongdoing. We just have questions. And that's why the Democrats voted along with Republicans to subpoena Bill Clinton. Not a single Democrat showed up today. Not a single Democrat. The ones that have press conferences on the Capitol steps and talk about how they're trying to get justice for the victims and all that. These are things I say only care about questioning Republicans. And we've had a former Trump cabinet secretary, O'Costa, in for a grilling. We had Bill Barr, former Attorney General, in for a grilling. But for whatever reason, President Clinton didn't show up, and the Democrats on the committee. don't seem to have a problem. This is the amount of preparation that went into this deposition today. These were the questions that we were prepared to ask. We've communicated with President Clinton's legal team for months now, giving them opportunity after opportunity to come in, to give us a date, and they continue to delay, delay, delay to the point where we had no idea whether they're going to show up today or not. I think it's very disappointing. As a result of Bill Clinton not showing up for his lawful subpoena, which again was voted on it unanimously by the committee in a bipartisan manner, we will move next week in the House Oversight Committee markup to hold former President Clinton in contempt of Congress. Oh my, I cannot answer that question on the grounds. I might incriminate myself. Yeah, okay. Well, we'll see if you get a...

And by the way, Steve Bannon, that's how Steve Bannon ended up going to jail for a while, was contempt of Congress. So it could happen. Don't think it's not out of the realm of possibility.
