close fight. Republicans poured in millions to defend it after
polls showed that race tightening. Matt Van Epps is projected
to win the special election, giving the GOP one more

(02:47):
vote in the House. President trumpin Secretary of War Pete
Hegsat are defending a US strike that allegedly targeted survivors
on a suspective Nezuelan drug vote. Both were pressed at
the White House yesterday about a report claiming Navy Admiral
Frank Mitch Bradley ordered a second strike to ensure no
one was left alive. He Saith said he stands by

Bradley's decision.

Striking Narco boats and putting Narco terrorists at the bottom
of the ocean because they've been poisoning the American people.

called the mission a justified attack.

All I know is this, every boat that you see
get blown up. We saved twenty five thousand average lives.
Twenty five thousand lives.

Then Trump said this, and.

We're saving hundreds of thousands of lives with those pinpoint attacks.

Trump's comments raised questions about which figure year, if any,
was correct. Meanwhile, the administration is doubling down now talking
about land strikes in Venezuela and possibly other countries as well.
Trump also bragged about the economy and how great the
tariffs are, but Costco's taking the administration to court over
billions in tariff refunds. Costco claims Trump's tariffs were illegal

seen to be illegal, they want every penny refunded. This
case could trigger a chain reaction for other businesses to
demand refunds as well. For in fund these stories and more.

humble enough to ask questions and get advice from other
successful quarterbacks.

Speaker 5 (05:40):
Here's what Jaden Hurts had to say.

I keep the conversation intimate. We had a very lengthy conversation.
He came to me and just you know, wanted to talk.
And I'm always there, I said earlier, given my perspective
on what I see and how I've gone about things,
And ultimately it takes a great deal of patience and
hard work, the sense of resilience.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
You know, you gotta want it. You know you gotta
want it.

Speaker 9 (06:41):
Comedian be someone with viral after answering the question which
would you rather have one trillion dollars or spending ten
minutes with Jesus, and this is what she chose.

Speaker 6 (06:50):
Would you rather have a trillion dollars or would you
rather have ten minutes with Jesus? I said, I would
rather have a trillion dollars because I feel.

Speaker 5 (06:59):
Like God lets his word, he left the Bible. There's
nothing that he is gonna tell.

Speaker 6 (07:02):
Me probably in those ten minutes that is it already
in his word. And I know when I die, I'm
gonna see Jesus. And I feel like I can tap
into that now. I don't need ten minutes with Jesus
like I have that now.

Speaker 5 (07:14):
Am I explaining this right? What would y'all do?

Speaker 6 (07:15):
Would y'all take the trillion or would y'all do ten
minutes with Jesus?

Speaker 5 (07:18):
I am taking the trillion. I'm going to my Phara Rode.

Speaker 9 (07:22):
Well, many people on the internet came after her for
picking the money, which would y'all picked Jesus.

Speaker 7 (07:30):
I understood what she was saying. Yeah, it may sound,
but I did understand what she was saying. She was saying,
for right now, give me the cash, because Jesus is
more of a thing that's always gonna be there for me.

Speaker 5 (07:42):
If Jesus made it.

Speaker 7 (07:45):
Yeah, and when I sit down with Jesus, he might
have asked me why you ain't take the money, because
when you die, you're gonna see me. Anyway, I get
what she was saying. It came out kind of clumsy,
and I ain't gonna bash.

Speaker 5 (07:55):
I get what she was saying. Gary. I would take
them both because time to Jesus, to the church, and
then the rest.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
I will help the but the songs as long as
I got King jess.

Speaker 5 (08:09):

Well, y'all moving it right?

Speaker 9 (08:26):
Too late, already too late, Well, y'all make the Stallion
and malagro grams. The intense courtroom battle is over, with
the jury handing Meg the big win.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
Now.

Speaker 9 (08:35):
As Megan left the courtroom in Florida on Monday, she
was happy that the case was over. Of the jury
water to Mega seventy five thousand and damages, which breaks
down like this fifteen K for defamation, a K for
emotional distress, fifty K for a deep fake porn posted online,
and an additional two k for punitive damages and emotional.

Speaker 5 (08:54):
Distress now under Florida Love.

Speaker 9 (08:56):
Butlagro is also liable for Megan's legal fees, so she
could be possibly getting away with more than seventy five k.
The bad news is Malago says she's unsure if she
can foot this bill, and that'd be the problem when
you see people today ain't got no money. But of
course Meg said, it ain't really about the money, you
know what I'm saying. It's the principle of it all.
But if you don't recall Meg claim that the woman

(09:16):
engaged an extreme and outrageous conduct towards her with her
posts supporting Tory Lanes after he was found guilty of
shooting her, and Meg says this caused her severe emotional distress.

Speaker 5 (09:26):
So congratulations go out to Meg the Stallion.

Speaker 9 (09:29):
All right, y'all, were gonna wrap up the hospital on
that note, But for more information on these stories, and more.

So so Brett, all right, y'all rick around the morning.
So our figure's what you got this morning.

Speaker 5 (09:40):
All right, Ricky.

Speaker 4 (09:41):
So for people who are looking for love or just
wanting to know where it's easiest to find, a new
study compared one hundred and eighty two US cities with
measures like nightlife, dating, pool side affordability, and recreation just
to see which cities are best and worse for singles.

Speaker 5 (09:58):
Now, let me see if you'll agree with us, li us.
Of course, Miami is in the top twenty.

Speaker 4 (10:02):
Came into number eleven Orlando for best cities to meet singles.

Speaker 5 (10:07):
Oh yeah, yeah, so Orlando's.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Remember they sing before a lot of people singing for
a reason, right, don't forget that.

Speaker 4 (10:14):
Right, But Orlando's in the top ten and number eight.
I always think of Orlando as a family friendly place,
but I guess you can be single and have a
mingo layer as well. Austin, Texas number six makes sense
to me.

Speaker 5 (10:25):
Tampa fail Austin. Yeah, Austin is fun.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
That's what I meant that beas Veneers.

Speaker 5 (10:32):
Oh that's fixable.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
That's fixable. Number three Tampa, Florida. So Florida is represented
on the list in the top ten. Anyway, The number
two places in St.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
Pete Founding the Chicks and Tampa. That's what for sure.

Speaker 4 (10:48):
Okay, Well, on this list, number two is Vegas, which
makes sense because it's known around them.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
But you can all these steakhouses, I said, I said,
gare what they're doing?

Speaker 1 (11:02):
Said, they're working. Act like you didn't know what was
going on. I said, look at that man, and look
at them. I said, they are real.

Speaker 5 (11:09):
Said check why she's so friendly.

Speaker 8 (11:15):
Like that.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
I haven't tried to talk to me. All of them
like they working. Like Michael Jackson's background down.

Speaker 4 (11:22):
You want to stay man, But Vegas is fun. You
can party around.

Speaker 5 (11:27):
The class is not love. There's a difference between love,
honey hourism.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Huh wow, horism. If you're on cocaine and you singing,
that's the place for you.

Speaker 4 (11:36):
Okay, well, let me see if you'll agree with this.
The number one spot according to this study is Atlanta, Georgia.
No man, careful, y'all, but there's so many des.

Don't do that. It's love. Have been there for fifteen
and wake up with Michael.
