Speaker 1 (00:02):
Well, what we need is more common sense.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
The youth.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Breaking down the world's nonsense about how Americans common sense.
Speaker 4 (00:13):
Will see us through with the common sense of Houston.
I'm just pro common sense for Houston. From Houston. This
is the Jimmy Barrett Show, brought to you by viewind
dot Com. Now here's Jimmy Barrett.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
All right.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
I found out two very disgusting things today regarding Taylor Swift.
Number one, the James Comber, not Comber, James Comy, sorry,
mister Comer representedve comer. James Coley, former API director is
a swiftye. That's how supposedly, that's how he winds down
from all of this. Donald Trump's stress is by listening
(00:54):
to Taylor's swift, I'm going to be sick. The other
thing we found out we think we found out I
guess time will tell is that she is likely going
to be headlining the Super Bowl halftime show in February
of next year. And the reason why we think we
(01:15):
know that is because she went she drops some clues
evidently on a podcast that she was on. The podcast
that her uh, her boyfriend Travis Kelsey does with his brother. Yeah,
she was on that podcast. It's called the New Heights Podcast,
and she was dropping hints and you know, little riddles.
(01:36):
I guess she likes to do that. She likes to
drop hints for albums and concert appearances and that kind
of stuff with these little riddles that she does. So
here's what she said and why everybody's taking this as
it means that she's going to be doing the Super Bowl.
She said that she considers she loves to bake, so
(01:57):
she was talking about making sour dough. I well, sourdough's
like the bread, right, only sourdough is also the nickname Sourdough.
Sam is the mascot for the forty nine Ers. The
forty nine Ers Stadium is where Super Bowl sixty will
be played. So she said she said something about making
(02:19):
sour dough and that she thinks about sourdough sixty percent
of the time. So they put the sourdough is in
Sowardo Sam sixty is in super Bowl sixty. So that's
that's why they think that she's she's going to be there.
Maybe I don't know, that's a real that's some real
(02:39):
detective work there. I'll tell you what I don't know.
I'm not I'm not a Swifty. I'm not a big
Taylor Swift fan. I mean, I don't mind her music,
I detest her politics, but I have been able to
successfully separate most people from their politics. I mean, there
are some exceptions. People who are not in your face
(03:01):
about their politics. I can accept their politics and move
on and just appreciate their artistic talent. If they're the
kind of people, however, that are in your face and
belligerent about their politics, then there's no way for me
to separate the two. I've never I've never seen her
to be belligerent in the way. I know she's a liberal,
that's fine. I know that she supported, you know, the
(03:24):
Democrat presidential ticket. Okay, fine, not a problem. I don't
really need to know who you support in politics. I
don't really want to know who you support in politics.
But I won't hold that against you as an artist
as long as you're not in my face. And she's
been quiet since the election, so you know, cut her
some slack. What does she work now? I think I
saw where she's worth something like one point six billion dollars. Yeah,
(03:47):
with a B billion one point six billion, and she's
going out. It's still she's got a new album coming out,
so she's obviously not done. You know, the money machine,
the money train is not ended for take this whip.
What has ended, evidently is the Democrats running. You know,
reports out of Austin wouldeem to indicate that the Democrats
(04:08):
for the most part, are coming back and that we're
going to get some business done. Now, the question becomes,
how does your average Texas voter feel about the whole
redistricting thing and how that whole thing worked out. Now,
I take all polls with a grain of salt. I
don't compare one pole to a different pole to a
different pole. I think the only thing that's useful with
(04:30):
poles is if you compare a particular poll to that
same poll at a later time and date, so that
you're comparing apples to apples. This is an ever since
college poll. I have no idea what the reliability factor is.
I know they talk to something like one thousand registered
Texas voters about the redistricting fight and about the Democrats,
(04:54):
and CBS Texas reported on how that pole turned out.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
Poll shows mixed results about how Texas voters feel about
this redistricting battle. Regarding the five new GOP majority congressional seats.
The Emerson College poll of one thousand registered voters in
Texas found thirty six percent support the new maps, while
thirty eight percent oppose them and twenty six percent are unsure.
But when asked if Republicans in Texas are entitled to
(05:22):
five more seats, something President Trump said, forty percent of
those surveys said they agreed, thirty eight percent disagreed, and
twenty two percent are neutral. Speaker Boroughs signed civil arrest
warrants against the Democrats who broke com and the new
poll shows forty one percent agreed they should be arrested,
thirty seven percent disagree, twenty two percent are neutral. And
(05:46):
in the bitter Republican primary for the Texas Senate race,
the poll found thirty percent supporting Company Senator John Cornyn,
with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton one point behind at
twenty nine percent. Five percent said they want someone else,
thirty seven percent are undecided.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
What I guess what surprises me about that poll is
just how many don't notice and undecideds there are. You know,
with as much publicity as all these things have gotten,
you would think there'd be fewer people who didn't have
an opinion, but it seemed to be almost split into
thirds of many cases, one side the other side and
(06:27):
not sure. That leaves a lot of people who really
don't know what side they're on, and that surprised me
a little bit. I would have thought that we'd have
very few people who no longer consider themselves, you know,
undecided when it comes to which side they're on. Hey,
one more thing for you here. It kind of goes
along maybe with the Taylor Swift story. A Republican bill
(06:48):
introduced in Congress called Make Entertainment Great Again Act proposes
renaming the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts
to the Donald J. Trump Center for the Performing Arts.
Been proposed by Republican Representative Bob Honder of Missouri, signing
the President Trump's efforts to preserve the arts and balance
(07:09):
the Kenney Cenator budget. Former Kennedy Center president Deborah Rudder
disputed claims about the center's budget management, claiming the allegations
lacked context and expertise. Yeah right. Republicans voted Delegate two
hundred and fifty seven million for the Kennedy Center improvement,
but tied significant funds to renaming the Opera House after
(07:29):
First Lady Malania Trump. John F. Kennedy's grandson, Jack Schlosberg
criticizing the renaming efforts, expressing concern about the Trump administration's
stance on free expression in the arts. Yeah, right, whatever,
He who pays for these things had the tendency to
have them named after him. So if the president's the
one who is raising the funds, making the improvements, and
(07:51):
getting the Kennedy Center back on track, then why wouldn't
you name it after him? All right? Quickly lit break
back with Mourner moment Jimmy Bairrett Show Am nine KPRC.
(08:17):
All Right, this seems like a strange story to open
up our segment number two in today's show. Bit, but
we're gonna do it because I think it's important to
know that the livestock here in Texas is potentially under trouble.
We have some I don't know about you, but I
love me some good beef. I am a lover of meat.
I am a meat lover. I am a carnivore through
(08:38):
and through vegetables. Always a fight to get me to
eat my veggies. You never have to ask me twice
to eat a big old steak or to eat chicken,
or to eat fish. As far as that goes, I
like all things protein, not so much with the veggies.
But here's the thing. Meat, as we all know, is
(08:59):
god super expensive. You know, that's one of the things
you go to price at the grocery store and go,
my god, I have to take out a second mortgage
by the steak. I have found myself in a position
where it's not an affordability problem. It's not like I
can't afford to spend the extra money. I just don't
want to. I've kind of gotten to the point where,
(09:23):
with the price of beef, where I actually am shopping
the bargains.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Now.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
I've never been a bargain shopper. My wife has always
been a bargain shopper. But I find myself now going
to the going to the edge of the meat counter
where they've got the they've got the meat that's going
to expire in a few days, so they reduced the
price to get rid of it. And I'll see, you know,
I'll see like five pounds of ground beef, or i'll see,
(09:48):
you know, a couple of packages of steaks, and if
they look still look fresh, I'll get them and then
I'll know, I'll freeze them and hang on to them
because you know, I'm not going to pay the full price.
It is just ridiculous how much they want. So I'm
sensitive to anything that's going to drive the cost of
beef up. And we have something at our back door
(10:09):
evidently that's getting ready to do that if action is
not taken, and that is something called the screw worm.
And the screw worm got the name evidently because it
burrows itself into the skin of the animals, the livestock,
(10:30):
and you know, puts its eggs in and all that
kind of stuff. It is it could be devastating to
the livestock. I'm not sure you know what all the
ramifications are of what the screw worm can do, but
it can. Evidently it can kill off quite a bit
of cattle. It's been a very big problem in South America.
I guess it's starting South America work. It's his way
(10:51):
to Central America is now it's in Mexico, which is
close as something like three hundred and sum of miles
for the Texas border, So things are getting serious. Greg
Abbott had a press conference with Secretary of Agriculture Brooke
Rowlands in Austin to talk about the screw worm and
some money that's being invested by the federal government to
try to fight it. Here's a little bit of that
(11:13):
press conference.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
This is an enormous challenge and you need to understand
the magnitude. Just in Texas, this can result in billions
of dollars of losses a year. It could truly crush
the cattle industry as well as other livestock industry in Texas,
and in doing so, it's going to lead to a
(11:36):
dramatic spike increase in what people are paying in groceries
when they go to the grocery store and try.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
To buy food.
Speaker 7 (11:46):
To begin to address this a few weeks ago. Right now,
it's the Texas New World Screwworm Response Team. We've been
working on strategies to better address this at the state level.
The reality is this is a national and international issue.
The screw worm typically comes from South America, makes its
(12:09):
way up through Central America in New Mexico before reaching Texas.
It has gone through all of those geographic regions and
now is in southern part of Mexico and is nearing Texas,
and we are going to face these dire economic consequences.
Our industries are ranchers, people who buy groceries are going
(12:32):
to face these dire consequences if action is not taken
to deny the ability of the school worm being able
to get into the state of Texas. And as a result,
someone who loves Texas is stepping up and taking action,
and that's President Trump. He was here with me last
(12:55):
month and he told the public. Donald Trump loves the
state of Texas and the people of the state. He
also is concerned about the cost of rising inflection that
would result from rising beef prices, and so he sent
to us the person who is in charge of this
issue at the United States and international level, and that
(13:18):
is his Secretary of Agriculture, Brook Rawlings.
Speaker 8 (13:21):
First, today we are announcing USDA will invest and build
a domestic sterile fly production facility in Edinburgh, Texas, which
is situated about twenty miles from the southern border and
complements the dispersal facility we have already begun production on
with a capacity to produce three hundred million sterile screwworm
flies per week, and that's how we eradicate the parasite.
(13:45):
This facility will triple our current output and eliminate our
sole reliance on Panama and Mexico for sterile fly supply,
putting America first. It's a tactical move that ensures we
are prepared and not just reactive, which is to date
what we have really been working through. We will invest
the federal government up to seven hundred and fifty million
(14:08):
dollars on this facility, and not an insignificant investment, and
it will also create about three hundred jobs right here
in Texas. Second, we are launching up to one hundred
million dollars in addition to the seven hundred and fifty
million to identify and deploy cutting edge technologies that can
accelerate our response while the construction of the facility is underway.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
Okay, so we're talking, I mean, what almost eight hundred
million in investments.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
That's a lot of money.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
So I'm looking up more about It's called the New
World screwworm. Do you notice the government By the way,
you almost sound like a speech abutmanes Well, schoolworm, schoolworm,
Easy for me to say, screwworm. Okay, the new World screwworm.
So here's what I want to know. Here's what I
typed it screw worms kill cattle, and the answer is yes.
(15:04):
The New World screwworm is a parasitic fly whose larvate.
The maggots burrow into the flesh of warm blooded animals,
including cattle, and feed on living tissue. They burrow ye,
that's disgusting, feed on living tissue, causing severe damage and
potentially if left untreated. Okay, Female screw worms lay flies,
(15:28):
fly and let me start over. Female screwworm flies lay
eggs in open wounds or mucous membranes of the animals.
The eggs hatch into larvae that burrow into the flesh,
feeding on living tissue and causing significant damage. As the
larvae grow in feed the wound expands and deepens, potentially
leading to severe harm to the animal. The open wound
(15:51):
caused by the screw worms can also become infected with bacteria,
further complicating the situation and potentially leading to death. So
if the cattle get it, bottom line of cattle get it,
it can progress to the point of death within like
a week or two.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Doesn't take long.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
It was a problem in the mid twentieth century, so
late nineteen forties nineteen fifties, but it was eradicated at
that time through an eradication program involving the release of
sterile male flies. Now they're going to try to release
sterile female flies to prevent the screwworm from spreading and
eventually eradicate it again. Okay, so that's that's how that's
(16:34):
going to work. But the last thing we need, especially
here in Texas, you know, we we've lost a lot
of cattle from when we had the drop situation and
we're just now getting to the point where we're starting
to rebuild these herds. You know, a lot of a
lot of you know, ranchers had to get rid of
(16:56):
cattle and send them off to be butchered because they
just go to afford to feed them, and you know,
their hay wasn't growing and they had to buy hay
and all the things that go along with that. So,
if you may recall at the time, the actually beef
prices got kind of cheap there for a little while
because there was so much there was a lot of
(17:16):
beef on the market, you know, because they had sold
it and gotten rid of the beef, and beef was
getting butchered and it kind of brought the price down.
But we knew at the time that the price was
going to start to go up next time around because
there wouldn't be as much cattle to work with, and
that's indeed been the case, and that is still not recovering.
That's been in several years now, it still hasn't recovered.
Now we were facing this new threat here. So hopefully
(17:38):
this program will help eradicate the screwfly and we won't
have to worry about where our next hamburger or steak
is coming from. All right, quick little break, we are
back with born a moment. Jimmy Barrett show here a
name of nine fifty KVRC. Okay, I heard something that
(18:06):
I think is kind of worth discussing, and it kind
of gets into our belief system. What do you believe?
What don't you believe as it relates to extra terrestrials,
as it relates to other dimensions. Have you ever wondered,
I'm not sure this with it, even though you me
think this dude's nuts. Have you ever wondered when you
(18:29):
have dreams of people that you identify in your dream
as your wife or as your one of your parents,
and they kind of look like your wife, and they
kind of look like your parent, but not exactly. Have
you ever wondered that if that's you in another dimension
(18:52):
or in another life, living another life at the very
same time that you're living a life here, or maybe
at a different stage in life. Yes, I know it
sounds very I get it. Yes, please don't make fun
of me. I know it sounds strange, but I've often
wondered about that. So when I heard that Representative Anna
Paulina Luna was on the Joe Ruggan podcast talking about
(19:14):
evidence that she has seen regarding people from other dimensions.
You know, there's been a lot of talk that the Sasquatch,
you know, Bigfoot, that the reason why we can't find
Bigfoot is Bigfoot disappears into another dimension, that they're interdimensional beings,
that this is not their home, but they come back
(19:36):
and forth through portals into this home. Now that it
all sounds very science fiction, very strange, but what if
it were true. What if that's where space aliens come from, extraterrestrials.
What if they're coming from a different dimension and they
just travel through a portal and they're here and they
do whatever they're going to do, and then they travel
(19:57):
through that same portal and go back to where they're from.
I mean, who knows. The universe is just too big
to believe that the word the only thing that's you know,
a living creature of this level of intelligence, Although you
can question our intelligence sometimes it's just it's mind boggling. Anyway,
Here is Representative Anna Paulina Luna on the Joe Rogan Podcast,
(20:23):
with some follow up here as far as whether or
not we think that maybe she's onto something. She claims
that she has seen evidence some of.
Speaker 9 (20:32):
The tech that exists that whatever these things have, these
energy things have. Yeah, well they call them interdimensional beings.
Very credible. People have reported that there have been movement.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Outside of time space. Have I seen a portal? But non?
Have I seen a spaceship personally?
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Know?
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Have I seen evidence of this? Yes?
Speaker 9 (20:55):
Have I seen photo documentation of aircraft?
Speaker 3 (21:00):
I believe we're not made by mankind?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Finally, there you have it, proof.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Proof that maybe someone was told something from someone who
saw something that might be something from another.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Dimension or something. Do you get the feeling that they
have nothing They just like teasing.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Us, Yeah, because you know, you look at what do
we really have here in terms of evidence of aliens?
So they tell us through these these extraterrestrial beings that
are way smarter, more intelligent than us, and what do
they do. They come to Earth and do crop circles.
It's like, hey, we're smarter than everyone. Let's go to
Earth and do donuts in the corn. And I hope
(21:49):
they do come to Earth because if you've seen those
long string bean fingers they have, Yes, I'm going to
run up to the ship, rip my shirt off, laid down,
and say give me some deep tissue free. You've bean
fingered free.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
Through All they do is crop circles and aintal.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
I don't want that part.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
But I'm dealt with this time and space kind of
a shift thing. Every time I fly on American airlines,
I get to the terminal and my flight seems to shift.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Of a five hours.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
And then I get in the air and I'm in
the middle between two fatties and I have no space
at all.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
So I believe in it. I believe in it.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
Okay, Well, they're laughing at they're having fun at it,
and it's easy to do because I think there's the
knee jerk reaction that we all have that yeah, no,
that doesn't exist. That's crazy. Talk. But you know, after
a while, you kind of have to wonder, you don't
is it crazy talk or not? Is it too much
(22:54):
to think that there is another dimension out there, or
other dimensions out there that we can't see, we can't hear.
Is that where ghosts come from? If you will beings
in another dimension? I have no idea. I'm fascinated by
the topic. I try real hard not to overthink it
(23:18):
because honestly, it does seem like crazy talk, that's for sure.
But then again, you know, there's just the part of
me that really just kind kind of wonders about all that,
whether or not there could be some actual reality truth
to it. All. Right, one more for you here before
we call this a day, And that's the story out
(23:41):
of Virginia, you know, my old stomping grounds. And it's
a story that is very upsetting. So I saved it
for the end here because I don't want to pontificate
it on too much. It's a topic I hate. I
hate the abortion topic. And don't worry, I'm not sticking
with this for very very long. But here's there's something
going on. This is a bigger topic and abortion. This
is this is about a high school that has been
(24:01):
accused of providing abortions or access to abortions and money
for abortions to female students without parental notification. Here is
the story from what.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
The governor has announced is the Bureau of Criminal Investigation
that's all equivalent of the FBI with the state police
to get to the bottom of this. They're going to
get some answers, I think, for the governor and for
the public on what exactly happened here, what are the facts,
and also whether there's any misallocation of state funds. It
is against the law in Virginia for you to have
an abortion for a minor not get parental consent.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Parents also spoke out about the allegations. I definitely think
that's across the line.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
Paying for monies for something that's a child is inappropriate.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Parents of teenagers know that teenagers don't.
Speaker 10 (24:50):
Always tell us everything, so perhaps not so surprising parents
didn't know, but you would assume that people in a
school system would alert parents to any issues like this.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
Holy crap, is it just me? Or oh, well, you know,
I guess it doesn't surprise me. Really, seriously, that's a
big decision, and we're talking about miners. You know, potentially minors,
high school kids having a procedure like that done without
(25:26):
parental notification, all because a school has decided that, yeah,
what you need to get an abortion. We'll make we'll
make arrangements that you just keep that to yourself, though,
don't tell mom and dad. That is outrageous. Fairfax County
where we've had all kinds of outrageous stories come out
of Fairfax County, Virginia with this type of slant to it. Wow.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
I hope that Governor Younkin in Virginia is looking very
deeply into this, that charges need to be filed against
any teacher or administrator involved in doing something like this.
All right, listen, y'all have a great day. I'll see
you tomorrow morning, breaking early, starting at five am over
on news Radio seven forty k t r H. We're
back here at four on AM nine fifty k p
(26:07):
r C
Well, what we need is more common sense.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
The youth.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Breaking down the world's nonsense about how Americans common sense.
Speaker 4 (00:13):
Will see us through with the common sense of Houston.
I'm just pro common sense for Houston. From Houston. This
is the Jimmy Barrett Show, brought to you by viewind
dot Com. Now here's Jimmy Barrett.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
All right.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
I found out two very disgusting things today regarding Taylor Swift.
Number one, the James Comber, not Comber, James Comy, sorry,
mister Comer representedve comer. James Coley, former API director is
a swiftye. That's how supposedly, that's how he winds down
from all of this. Donald Trump's stress is by listening
(00:54):
to Taylor's swift, I'm going to be sick. The other
thing we found out we think we found out I
guess time will tell is that she is likely going
to be headlining the Super Bowl halftime show in February
of next year. And the reason why we think we
(01:15):
know that is because she went she drops some clues
evidently on a podcast that she was on. The podcast
that her uh, her boyfriend Travis Kelsey does with his brother. Yeah,
she was on that podcast. It's called the New Heights Podcast,
and she was dropping hints and you know, little riddles.
(01:36):
I guess she likes to do that. She likes to
drop hints for albums and concert appearances and that kind
of stuff with these little riddles that she does. So
here's what she said and why everybody's taking this as
it means that she's going to be doing the Super Bowl.
She said that she considers she loves to bake, so
(01:57):
she was talking about making sour dough. I well, sourdough's
like the bread, right, only sourdough is also the nickname Sourdough.
Sam is the mascot for the forty nine Ers. The
forty nine Ers Stadium is where Super Bowl sixty will
be played. So she said she said something about making
(02:19):
sour dough and that she thinks about sourdough sixty percent
of the time. So they put the sourdough is in
Sowardo Sam sixty is in super Bowl sixty. So that's
that's why they think that she's she's going to be there.
Maybe I don't know, that's a real that's some real
(02:39):
detective work there. I'll tell you what I don't know.
I'm not I'm not a Swifty. I'm not a big
Taylor Swift fan. I mean, I don't mind her music,
I detest her politics, but I have been able to
successfully separate most people from their politics. I mean, there
are some exceptions. People who are not in your face
(03:01):
about their politics. I can accept their politics and move
on and just appreciate their artistic talent. If they're the
kind of people, however, that are in your face and
belligerent about their politics, then there's no way for me
to separate the two. I've never I've never seen her
to be belligerent in the way. I know she's a liberal,
that's fine. I know that she supported, you know, the
(03:24):
Democrat presidential ticket. Okay, fine, not a problem. I don't
really need to know who you support in politics. I
don't really want to know who you support in politics.
But I won't hold that against you as an artist
as long as you're not in my face. And she's
been quiet since the election, so you know, cut her
some slack. What does she work now? I think I
saw where she's worth something like one point six billion dollars. Yeah,
(03:47):
with a B billion one point six billion, and she's
going out. It's still she's got a new album coming out,
so she's obviously not done. You know, the money machine,
the money train is not ended for take this whip.
What has ended, evidently is the Democrats running. You know,
reports out of Austin wouldeem to indicate that the Democrats
(04:08):
for the most part, are coming back and that we're
going to get some business done. Now, the question becomes,
how does your average Texas voter feel about the whole
redistricting thing and how that whole thing worked out. Now,
I take all polls with a grain of salt. I
don't compare one pole to a different pole to a
different pole. I think the only thing that's useful with
(04:30):
poles is if you compare a particular poll to that
same poll at a later time and date, so that
you're comparing apples to apples. This is an ever since
college poll. I have no idea what the reliability factor is.
I know they talk to something like one thousand registered
Texas voters about the redistricting fight and about the Democrats,
(04:54):
and CBS Texas reported on how that pole turned out.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
Poll shows mixed results about how Texas voters feel about
this redistricting battle. Regarding the five new GOP majority congressional seats.
The Emerson College poll of one thousand registered voters in
Texas found thirty six percent support the new maps, while
thirty eight percent oppose them and twenty six percent are unsure.
But when asked if Republicans in Texas are entitled to
(05:22):
five more seats, something President Trump said, forty percent of
those surveys said they agreed, thirty eight percent disagreed, and
twenty two percent are neutral. Speaker Boroughs signed civil arrest
warrants against the Democrats who broke com and the new
poll shows forty one percent agreed they should be arrested,
thirty seven percent disagree, twenty two percent are neutral. And
(05:46):
in the bitter Republican primary for the Texas Senate race,
the poll found thirty percent supporting Company Senator John Cornyn,
with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton one point behind at
twenty nine percent. Five percent said they want someone else,
thirty seven percent are undecided.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
What I guess what surprises me about that poll is
just how many don't notice and undecideds there are. You know,
with as much publicity as all these things have gotten,
you would think there'd be fewer people who didn't have
an opinion, but it seemed to be almost split into
thirds of many cases, one side the other side and
(06:27):
not sure. That leaves a lot of people who really
don't know what side they're on, and that surprised me
a little bit. I would have thought that we'd have
very few people who no longer consider themselves, you know,
undecided when it comes to which side they're on. Hey,
one more thing for you here. It kind of goes
along maybe with the Taylor Swift story. A Republican bill
(06:48):
introduced in Congress called Make Entertainment Great Again Act proposes
renaming the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts
to the Donald J. Trump Center for the Performing Arts.
Been proposed by Republican Representative Bob Honder of Missouri, signing
the President Trump's efforts to preserve the arts and balance
(07:09):
the Kenney Cenator budget. Former Kennedy Center president Deborah Rudder
disputed claims about the center's budget management, claiming the allegations
lacked context and expertise. Yeah right. Republicans voted Delegate two
hundred and fifty seven million for the Kennedy Center improvement,
but tied significant funds to renaming the Opera House after
(07:29):
First Lady Malania Trump. John F. Kennedy's grandson, Jack Schlosberg
criticizing the renaming efforts, expressing concern about the Trump administration's
stance on free expression in the arts. Yeah, right, whatever,
He who pays for these things had the tendency to
have them named after him. So if the president's the
one who is raising the funds, making the improvements, and
(07:51):
getting the Kennedy Center back on track, then why wouldn't
you name it after him? All right? Quickly lit break
back with Mourner moment Jimmy Bairrett Show Am nine KPRC.
(08:17):
All Right, this seems like a strange story to open
up our segment number two in today's show. Bit, but
we're gonna do it because I think it's important to
know that the livestock here in Texas is potentially under trouble.
We have some I don't know about you, but I
love me some good beef. I am a lover of meat.
I am a meat lover. I am a carnivore through
(08:38):
and through vegetables. Always a fight to get me to
eat my veggies. You never have to ask me twice
to eat a big old steak or to eat chicken,
or to eat fish. As far as that goes, I
like all things protein, not so much with the veggies.
But here's the thing. Meat, as we all know, is
(08:59):
god super expensive. You know, that's one of the things
you go to price at the grocery store and go,
my god, I have to take out a second mortgage
by the steak. I have found myself in a position
where it's not an affordability problem. It's not like I
can't afford to spend the extra money. I just don't
want to. I've kind of gotten to the point where,
(09:23):
with the price of beef, where I actually am shopping
the bargains.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Now.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
I've never been a bargain shopper. My wife has always
been a bargain shopper. But I find myself now going
to the going to the edge of the meat counter
where they've got the they've got the meat that's going
to expire in a few days, so they reduced the
price to get rid of it. And I'll see, you know,
I'll see like five pounds of ground beef, or i'll see,
(09:48):
you know, a couple of packages of steaks, and if
they look still look fresh, I'll get them and then
I'll know, I'll freeze them and hang on to them
because you know, I'm not going to pay the full price.
It is just ridiculous how much they want. So I'm
sensitive to anything that's going to drive the cost of
beef up. And we have something at our back door
(10:09):
evidently that's getting ready to do that if action is
not taken, and that is something called the screw worm.
And the screw worm got the name evidently because it
burrows itself into the skin of the animals, the livestock,
(10:30):
and you know, puts its eggs in and all that
kind of stuff. It is it could be devastating to
the livestock. I'm not sure you know what all the
ramifications are of what the screw worm can do, but
it can. Evidently it can kill off quite a bit
of cattle. It's been a very big problem in South America.
I guess it's starting South America work. It's his way
(10:51):
to Central America is now it's in Mexico, which is
close as something like three hundred and sum of miles
for the Texas border, So things are getting serious. Greg
Abbott had a press conference with Secretary of Agriculture Brooke
Rowlands in Austin to talk about the screw worm and
some money that's being invested by the federal government to
try to fight it. Here's a little bit of that
(11:13):
press conference.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
This is an enormous challenge and you need to understand
the magnitude. Just in Texas, this can result in billions
of dollars of losses a year. It could truly crush
the cattle industry as well as other livestock industry in Texas,
and in doing so, it's going to lead to a
(11:36):
dramatic spike increase in what people are paying in groceries
when they go to the grocery store and try.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
To buy food.
Speaker 7 (11:46):
To begin to address this a few weeks ago. Right now,
it's the Texas New World Screwworm Response Team. We've been
working on strategies to better address this at the state level.
The reality is this is a national and international issue.
The screw worm typically comes from South America, makes its
(12:09):
way up through Central America in New Mexico before reaching Texas.
It has gone through all of those geographic regions and
now is in southern part of Mexico and is nearing Texas,
and we are going to face these dire economic consequences.
Our industries are ranchers, people who buy groceries are going
(12:32):
to face these dire consequences if action is not taken
to deny the ability of the school worm being able
to get into the state of Texas. And as a result,
someone who loves Texas is stepping up and taking action,
and that's President Trump. He was here with me last
(12:55):
month and he told the public. Donald Trump loves the
state of Texas and the people of the state. He
also is concerned about the cost of rising inflection that
would result from rising beef prices, and so he sent
to us the person who is in charge of this
issue at the United States and international level, and that
(13:18):
is his Secretary of Agriculture, Brook Rawlings.
Speaker 8 (13:21):
First, today we are announcing USDA will invest and build
a domestic sterile fly production facility in Edinburgh, Texas, which
is situated about twenty miles from the southern border and
complements the dispersal facility we have already begun production on
with a capacity to produce three hundred million sterile screwworm
flies per week, and that's how we eradicate the parasite.
(13:45):
This facility will triple our current output and eliminate our
sole reliance on Panama and Mexico for sterile fly supply,
putting America first. It's a tactical move that ensures we
are prepared and not just reactive, which is to date
what we have really been working through. We will invest
the federal government up to seven hundred and fifty million
(14:08):
dollars on this facility, and not an insignificant investment, and
it will also create about three hundred jobs right here
in Texas. Second, we are launching up to one hundred
million dollars in addition to the seven hundred and fifty
million to identify and deploy cutting edge technologies that can
accelerate our response while the construction of the facility is underway.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
Okay, so we're talking, I mean, what almost eight hundred
million in investments.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
That's a lot of money.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
So I'm looking up more about It's called the New
World screwworm. Do you notice the government By the way,
you almost sound like a speech abutmanes Well, schoolworm, schoolworm,
Easy for me to say, screwworm. Okay, the new World screwworm.
So here's what I want to know. Here's what I
typed it screw worms kill cattle, and the answer is yes.
(15:04):
The New World screwworm is a parasitic fly whose larvate.
The maggots burrow into the flesh of warm blooded animals,
including cattle, and feed on living tissue. They burrow ye,
that's disgusting, feed on living tissue, causing severe damage and
potentially if left untreated. Okay, Female screw worms lay flies,
(15:28):
fly and let me start over. Female screwworm flies lay
eggs in open wounds or mucous membranes of the animals.
The eggs hatch into larvae that burrow into the flesh,
feeding on living tissue and causing significant damage. As the
larvae grow in feed the wound expands and deepens, potentially
leading to severe harm to the animal. The open wound
(15:51):
caused by the screw worms can also become infected with bacteria,
further complicating the situation and potentially leading to death. So
if the cattle get it, bottom line of cattle get it,
it can progress to the point of death within like
a week or two.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Doesn't take long.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
It was a problem in the mid twentieth century, so
late nineteen forties nineteen fifties, but it was eradicated at
that time through an eradication program involving the release of
sterile male flies. Now they're going to try to release
sterile female flies to prevent the screwworm from spreading and
eventually eradicate it again. Okay, so that's that's how that's
(16:34):
going to work. But the last thing we need, especially
here in Texas, you know, we we've lost a lot
of cattle from when we had the drop situation and
we're just now getting to the point where we're starting
to rebuild these herds. You know, a lot of a
lot of you know, ranchers had to get rid of
(16:56):
cattle and send them off to be butchered because they
just go to afford to feed them, and you know,
their hay wasn't growing and they had to buy hay
and all the things that go along with that. So,
if you may recall at the time, the actually beef
prices got kind of cheap there for a little while
because there was so much there was a lot of
(17:16):
beef on the market, you know, because they had sold
it and gotten rid of the beef, and beef was
getting butchered and it kind of brought the price down.
But we knew at the time that the price was
going to start to go up next time around because
there wouldn't be as much cattle to work with, and
that's indeed been the case, and that is still not recovering.
That's been in several years now, it still hasn't recovered.
Now we were facing this new threat here. So hopefully
(17:38):
this program will help eradicate the screwfly and we won't
have to worry about where our next hamburger or steak
is coming from. All right, quick little break, we are
back with born a moment. Jimmy Barrett show here a
name of nine fifty KVRC. Okay, I heard something that
(18:06):
I think is kind of worth discussing, and it kind
of gets into our belief system. What do you believe?
What don't you believe as it relates to extra terrestrials,
as it relates to other dimensions. Have you ever wondered,
I'm not sure this with it, even though you me
think this dude's nuts. Have you ever wondered when you
(18:29):
have dreams of people that you identify in your dream
as your wife or as your one of your parents,
and they kind of look like your wife, and they
kind of look like your parent, but not exactly. Have
you ever wondered that if that's you in another dimension
(18:52):
or in another life, living another life at the very
same time that you're living a life here, or maybe
at a different stage in life. Yes, I know it
sounds very I get it. Yes, please don't make fun
of me. I know it sounds strange, but I've often
wondered about that. So when I heard that Representative Anna
Paulina Luna was on the Joe Ruggan podcast talking about
(19:14):
evidence that she has seen regarding people from other dimensions.
You know, there's been a lot of talk that the Sasquatch,
you know, Bigfoot, that the reason why we can't find
Bigfoot is Bigfoot disappears into another dimension, that they're interdimensional beings,
that this is not their home, but they come back
(19:36):
and forth through portals into this home. Now that it
all sounds very science fiction, very strange, but what if
it were true. What if that's where space aliens come from, extraterrestrials.
What if they're coming from a different dimension and they
just travel through a portal and they're here and they
do whatever they're going to do, and then they travel
(19:57):
through that same portal and go back to where they're from.
I mean, who knows. The universe is just too big
to believe that the word the only thing that's you know,
a living creature of this level of intelligence, Although you
can question our intelligence sometimes it's just it's mind boggling. Anyway,
Here is Representative Anna Paulina Luna on the Joe Rogan Podcast,
(20:23):
with some follow up here as far as whether or
not we think that maybe she's onto something. She claims
that she has seen evidence some of.
Speaker 9 (20:32):
The tech that exists that whatever these things have, these
energy things have. Yeah, well they call them interdimensional beings.
Very credible. People have reported that there have been movement.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Outside of time space. Have I seen a portal? But non?
Have I seen a spaceship personally?
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Know?
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Have I seen evidence of this? Yes?
Speaker 9 (20:55):
Have I seen photo documentation of aircraft?
Speaker 3 (21:00):
I believe we're not made by mankind?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Finally, there you have it, proof.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Proof that maybe someone was told something from someone who
saw something that might be something from another.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Dimension or something. Do you get the feeling that they
have nothing They just like teasing.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Us, Yeah, because you know, you look at what do
we really have here in terms of evidence of aliens?
So they tell us through these these extraterrestrial beings that
are way smarter, more intelligent than us, and what do
they do. They come to Earth and do crop circles.
It's like, hey, we're smarter than everyone. Let's go to
Earth and do donuts in the corn. And I hope
(21:49):
they do come to Earth because if you've seen those
long string bean fingers they have, Yes, I'm going to
run up to the ship, rip my shirt off, laid down,
and say give me some deep tissue free. You've bean
fingered free.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
Through All they do is crop circles and aintal.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
I don't want that part.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
But I'm dealt with this time and space kind of
a shift thing. Every time I fly on American airlines,
I get to the terminal and my flight seems to shift.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Of a five hours.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
And then I get in the air and I'm in
the middle between two fatties and I have no space
at all.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
So I believe in it. I believe in it.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
Okay, Well, they're laughing at they're having fun at it,
and it's easy to do because I think there's the
knee jerk reaction that we all have that yeah, no,
that doesn't exist. That's crazy. Talk. But you know, after
a while, you kind of have to wonder, you don't
is it crazy talk or not? Is it too much
(22:54):
to think that there is another dimension out there, or
other dimensions out there that we can't see, we can't hear.
Is that where ghosts come from? If you will beings
in another dimension? I have no idea. I'm fascinated by
the topic. I try real hard not to overthink it
(23:18):
because honestly, it does seem like crazy talk, that's for sure.
But then again, you know, there's just the part of
me that really just kind kind of wonders about all that,
whether or not there could be some actual reality truth
to it. All. Right, one more for you here before
we call this a day, And that's the story out
(23:41):
of Virginia, you know, my old stomping grounds. And it's
a story that is very upsetting. So I saved it
for the end here because I don't want to pontificate
it on too much. It's a topic I hate. I
hate the abortion topic. And don't worry, I'm not sticking
with this for very very long. But here's there's something
going on. This is a bigger topic and abortion. This
is this is about a high school that has been
(24:01):
accused of providing abortions or access to abortions and money
for abortions to female students without parental notification. Here is
the story from what.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
The governor has announced is the Bureau of Criminal Investigation
that's all equivalent of the FBI with the state police
to get to the bottom of this. They're going to
get some answers, I think, for the governor and for
the public on what exactly happened here, what are the facts,
and also whether there's any misallocation of state funds. It
is against the law in Virginia for you to have
an abortion for a minor not get parental consent.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Parents also spoke out about the allegations. I definitely think
that's across the line.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
Paying for monies for something that's a child is inappropriate.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Parents of teenagers know that teenagers don't.
Speaker 10 (24:50):
Always tell us everything, so perhaps not so surprising parents
didn't know, but you would assume that people in a
school system would alert parents to any issues like this.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
Holy crap, is it just me? Or oh, well, you know,
I guess it doesn't surprise me. Really, seriously, that's a
big decision, and we're talking about miners. You know, potentially minors,
high school kids having a procedure like that done without
(25:26):
parental notification, all because a school has decided that, yeah,
what you need to get an abortion. We'll make we'll
make arrangements that you just keep that to yourself, though,
don't tell mom and dad. That is outrageous. Fairfax County
where we've had all kinds of outrageous stories come out
of Fairfax County, Virginia with this type of slant to it. Wow.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
I hope that Governor Younkin in Virginia is looking very
deeply into this, that charges need to be filed against
any teacher or administrator involved in doing something like this.
All right, listen, y'all have a great day. I'll see
you tomorrow morning, breaking early, starting at five am over
on news Radio seven forty k t r H. We're
back here at four on AM nine fifty k p
