>> FROM KPRC CHANNEL 2, THIS IS
"HOUSTON NEWSMAKERS," WITH
KHAMBREL MARSHAL
>> GOOD MORNING AND WELCOME
BACK TO "HOUSTON NEWSMAKERS".
IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE'VE
BEEN IN THIS VERY COMFORTABLE
SPOT RIGHT AFTER "MEET THE
PRESS.
THANKS TO THREE WEEKS OF THE
OLYMPIC GAMES AND ANOTHER WEEK
OF THE WOMEN'S BRITISH OPEN,
WE'VE BEEN ON-LINE FOR THE PAST
MONTH.
I HOPE YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO GO
TO CLICK2HOUSTON.COM AND WATCH
SOME OF THOSE PROGRAMS.
THEY'RE STILL THERE, BY THE WAY
GO TO CLICK2HOUSTON.COM AND,
UNDER THE NEWS HEADING, CLICK
ON "HOUSTON NEWSMAKERS" TO GET
INFORMATION ABOUT CRIME
STOPPERS' EFFORTS TO STOP
BULLYING.
H.I.S.D. ADMINISTRATORS, UNION
HEAD AND THE CHIEF OF POLICE ON
THE ISSUES OF GREATEST CONCERN
AS STUDENTS HEAD BACK TO
SCHOOL, AND THE NEW HEAD OF THE
CITY OF HOUSTON DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION.
SHE'S TALKING ABOUT HER NEW
ROLE IN HOW ALL HOUSTONIANS CAN
GET INVOLVED.
WE ALSO DID A PROGRAM ON THE
HEALTH OF GALVESTON BAY AND THE
FACT THAT THE GALVESTON BAY
WATERSHED, WHICH SPANS 24,000
MILES, IS IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE
BUT HAS AREAS OF MAJOR CONCERN.
THE GALVESTON BAY FOUNDATION IS
BEHIND THAT REPORT.
LOTS OF GOOD INFORMATION THERE,
SO PLEASE HEAD TO THE WEB SITE
AND GET CAUGHT UP, IF YOU CAN.
POLITICS WAS ALSO ON OUR PLATE,
AND WILL BE AGAIN SOON.
THE EXPERTS TELL US THAT THE
REAL POLITICAL SEASON AS IT
RELATES TO PRESIDENTIAL
POLITICS DOESN'T START UNTIL
AFTER LABOR DAY, AND THAT MAY
BE A GOOD THING FOR DONALD
TRUMP, WHEN WE LOOK BACK ON
THIS PRESIDENTIAL RACE, WE MAY
LOOK AT AUGUST AS A ROUGH MONTH
FOR MR. TRUMP, TRAILING IN THE
POLLS AND SINKING FAST, HE
CHANGED CAMPAIGN LEADERSHIP AND
SOFTENED PREVIOUSLY HARDENED
POSITIONS ON A NUMBER OF
ISSUES, INCLUDING IMMIGRATION
AND, AS SOME POLLS INDICATED, A
2% SUPPORT LEVEL AMONG BLACKS
WHO HE APPEALED TO IN HIS OWN
UNIQUE WAY.
>> TO THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN
COMMUNITY, GIVE DONALD TRUMP A
CHANCE.
WE WILL MAKE YOUR STREETS SAFE,
SO WHEN YOU WALK DOWN THE
STREET, YOU DON'T GET SHOT.
HILLARY CLINTON IS A BIGOT!
WHO SEES PEOPLE OF COLOR --
ONLY AS VOTES, NOT AS HUMAN
BEINGS WORTHY OF A BETTER
FUTURE.
>> VERY INTERESTING STUFF.
FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE
HILLARY CLINTON, ON THE OTHER
HAND, HAS A DIFFERENT SET OF
PROBLEMS.
AS WE HEAD DOWN THE FINAL
COUPLE OF MONTHS TOWARD
ELECTION DAY NOVEMBER 8th.
ANOTHER RELEASE OF eMAILS IS
DUE WITHIN THE NEXT 30 DAYS,
ALMOST 15,000 THAT MAY OR MAY
NOT HAVE INFORMATION NOT
FLATTERING TO MRS. CLINTON, WHO
HAS BEEN UNDER PRESSURE SINCE
THE DISCLOSURE THAT SHE USED
HER OWN PRIVATE SERVER IN HER
HOME TO DO STATE DEPARTMENT
WORK, AND ALSO SOME RUMORS THAT
SHE IS SICK AND NOT FIT TO HOLD
OFFICE.
>> TALKED ABOUT THAT ON JIMMIE
KIMMEL.
>> I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY ARE
SAYING THIS.
ON THE ONE HAND, IT'S PART OF
THE WACKY STRATEGY, JUST SAY
ALL OF THESE CRAZY THINGS AND
MAYBE YOU CAN GET SOME PEOPLE
TO BELIEVE YOU; ON THE OTHER
HAND, IT JUST ABSOLUTELY MAKES
NO SENSE.
>> NO DOUBT THIS IS A NASTY
CAMPAIGN BEING WAGED WITH TWO
CANDIDATES WHO HAVE
HISTORICALLY HIGH NEGATIVES.
WHAT KIND OF ENVIRONMENT WILL
THERE BE FOR EITHER CANDIDATE
TO GOVERN AFTER THE DUST CLEARS
THAT SECOND TUESDAY IN NOVEMBER?
WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT ALL OF
THOSE QUESTIONS IN THE COMING
WEEKS AND MONTHS, A WEEK AFTER
LABOR DAY, WHEN THE BATTLE
LINES WILL BE DRAWN FOR THE
FINAL SPRINT TOWARD THE
PRESIDENCY.
LET ME KNOW WHAT KIND OF
QUESTIONS YOU WANT ANSWERED BY
OUR EXPERTS.
YOU CAN CONTACT ME THROUGH MY
FACEBOOK PAGE OR ON TWITTER.
>>> YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED THAT
RACE IS STILL A BIG ISSUE IN
THIS COUNTRY.
IT SNEAKED INTO THE
PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST AND IN
MANY NEIGHBORHOODS AROUND THE
COUNTRY AS WEL
BLACK LIVES MATTER PROTESTS
HAVE TAKEN PLACE IN MANY CITIES
AROUND THE COUNTRY IN RESPONSE
TO RACIAL BIAS BY POLICE
WHITE LIVES MATTER PROTEST TOOK
PLACE IN HOUSTON JUST LASTWEEK
PROTESTING BLACK LIVES MATTER.
TENSIONS CLEARLY ARE HIGH IN
VARIOUS PARTS OF OUR COMMUNITY.
I'LL FOCUS ON THAT ISSUE IN THE
COMING WEEKS AS WELL, WITH
EXPERTS ON RACE RELATIONS AND
CHALLENGES THAT STILL MUST BE
OVERCOME.
I LOOK FORWARD TO WHAT I HOPE
WILL BE INSIGHTFUL AND HELPFUL
DIALOGUE IN ORDER TO TRY AND
SOLVE THESE PROBLEMS, AND I'LL
GIVE YOU PLENTY OF NOTICE SO
YOU CAN GET INVOLVED AS WELL.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR
INVOLVEMENT.
>>> NOW TO A GREAT MEMORY.
I WAS ESPECIALLY PROUD OF
SIMONE SIMONE BILES AND SIMONE
MANUEL.
THEY BOTH RETURNED HOME THIS
WEEK TO ROWDY WELCOMES AT BUSH
INTERCONTINENTAL AIRPORT,
WELCOMES WELL-DESERVED, AS WERE
ALL OF THE WELCOME HOME
CEREMONIES FOR OUR RETURNING
ATHLETES.
IN COMPETITION, THE VIBE WAS
MAGICAL.
SIMONE BILES, SO COMPLETE AN
ATHLETE WHILE LOOKING SO
COMFORTABLE AS SHE COMPETED ON
THE WORLD STAGE, EXPECTED TO
BRING BACK GOLD, SHE DIDN'T
DISAPPOINT.
IN ALL THE WHILE, SO DOWN TO
EARTH WHEN AWAY FROM
COMPETITION AND ALL OF THE
FINAL FIVE EASY TO LOVE AND
SUPPORT AS EXAMPLES OF
EXCELLENCE FROM THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA.
WELL DONE.
AND THEN THERE'S SUGAR LAND'S
SIMONE MANUEL.
WHO LOOK AT THE END OF HER
100-METER FREESTYLE RACE WHEN
SHE REALIZED SHE HAD FINISHED
FIRST TO WIN THE GOLD MEDAL.
PRICELESS.
ALL OF THE HOURS OF PRACTICE,
THE DREAMS OF DOING WELL,
DELAYED A YEAR AT STANFORD IN
ORDER TO PREPARE FOR THIS
MOMENT, THE FAMILY THAT'S BEEN
SUPPORTING HER THROUGH IT ALL,
ALL OF IT COULD BE SEEN ON HER
JUBILANT FACE.
EVERY TIME I SEE THIS PICTURE,
I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE
LIKE ME CAN'T HELP BUT SMILE.
THANK YOU TO SIMONE MANUEL AND
OTHER OLYMPIANS FROM HOUSTON
WHO COMPETED WITH HONOR ON THE
WORLD STAGE, GIVING ALL THEY
HAD TO DO THEIR BEST
REPRESENTING THEMSELVES AND US.
GOD BLESS ALL OF THE UNITED
STATES' ATHLETES WHO WORKED SO
HARD TO REPRESENT THIS GREAT
COUNTRY OF OURS.
I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT
OLYMPICS.
MAJOR CATASTROPHE WAS TAKING
PLACE NOT FAR FROM HERE IN THE
MEANTIME.
LOUISIANA WAS HAMMERED BY
FLOODING, CAUSING THE WORST
DISASTER IN MANY, MANY YEARS.
THAT'S NEXT WHEN "HOUSTON
