Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Well, what we need is more common sense breaking down
the world's nonsense about how American common sense will see
us through.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
With the common sense of Houston, I'm just pro common
sense for Houston.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
From Houston.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
This is the Jimmy Barrett Show, brought to you by
viewind dot Com.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Now here's Jimmy Barrett.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
All right, it is Monday. We are back to work here.
Did you any of you all go through a self
checkout line at all on the weekend when he went,
when he went shopping, or wherever you may have gone.
We live in a self serve world. Do you remember
do you remember the first experience you ever had with
self serve? I can remember my first experience with self serve.
It was gasoline. Yes, I'm that old. I'm old enough

(00:55):
to remember when you went to a gas station and
and they there was an attendant there. You tell them
how much gas you wanted, they'd fill up your tank
or put a five dollars worth in or whatever it
is that you were doing, and then they you pop
the hood and they'd check your oil for you and
all that kind of stuff. Full service gas stations that
that was about one of the first places to go

(01:17):
self serve, and and and I mean we're talking of
ancient history. We're talking about long long time ago, when
I was just a little kid, basically when that happened.
Although there were states, wasn't New Jersey one of those
states where until recently you couldn't you couldn't have self serve.
You had to I don't know why they made that

(01:38):
rule in New Jersey, but you had to have somebody
had to pump your gas for you. I mean, it
doesn't really take a special talent to pump gasoline, does it.
It doesn't really take a special talent to check yourself
out of the supermarket either, But just about everybody in
the area of retail and groceries in particular. You know
that in other stores like Target for e. That sell

(02:01):
other things but also sell groceries, Walmart and the like,
they went self serve a long long time ago. You
can't get through too many places anymore and not do
it yourself. I mean, not if you want to get
it done in some sort of a timely way. If
you go to the supermarket, it's very likely that you'll

(02:21):
only see one or two, or maybe on a busy day,
maybe three lines that are open for help as far
as checking out. Although I have those, AGB does it
more than I think anybody else in that genre of business.
I think AGB has more cashiers the most supermarkets or

(02:42):
grocery stores have, and I salute them for doing it.
And I think they do it not because they're concerned
about thievery, but I think they do it because they're
concerned about customer service, and a lot of places aren't.
I mean, they're just slaves to the bottom line. So
when I see these stories, I see these stories all
the time about retailers who are dialing back the self

(03:04):
checkout because they're getting stolen blind. I oftentimes wonder you
know whether or not, at what point does it make
more financial sense to have self checkout and people stealing
you blind versus hiring more cashiers to do it that way.

(03:24):
At what point do you say, Okay, we're losing too
much money. Evidently Target is at that point. Target has
limited self checkout to customers now with ten items are less,
so you have to have less than ten to use
the self checkout. They claim the move is not about thievery,
but I question that, and there's a lot of reasons

(03:45):
why I question that. Not the least of which is
I mean, no retailer wants to admit that they're getting
stolen blind but at least it's very rare. They would
want to admit to that. They also don't want to
admit that they are accusing anybody who's shopping there or
stealing from them. It's like Walmart. You remember Walmart, Remember

(04:07):
the story about Walmart checking receipts and they interviewed the
Walmart people about how come you have to show your
receipt to get out of the store, and the answer was, well,
we're just checking to make sure you didn't miss any deals.
We don't want. We don't want any of our this
is customer service. We don't want any of our people
leaving paying too much for something when they could have
got a better when they could have gotten a better deal.

(04:29):
Not left to myself going that's not why come on, man,
that's not why you're checking the receipts. Because you spotted
items in the cart that were not bagged, and if
they're not bagged, you want to check and make sure
that they were paid for. That's okay, there's nothing if
you're trying to prevent thievery. I get it. I completely

(04:52):
get it. You don't know me from Adam. You don't
know what I'm capable of doing. Have you ever accidentally
walked out of a store by the way going through
self checkout and forgot to pay for something like a
like you know, like a tub of water or or
kitty litter or something that you had on the bottom
rack of the of the of the cart, and if

(05:14):
you forgot to scan it, and then you get outside
and and you're starting put away and saying, oh man,
I didn't do the water. Do you ever turn around
and go back in and pay for it? No, of
course not, nobody does, even I, who am totally against
thiever and stealing. Even I probably, if you're going to

(05:35):
get technical about it, I probably stolen a few things
in my day, not because I intended to steal them,
but because I forgot to pay for them. But there
you go. I mean ten ims or less the target.
You can't you there's only way you can use the
self checkout. Now. My question would be, uh, if self
checkouts are subject to so much stealing, and I think

(05:58):
they are because I think we are raising a society
is not as moral as it used to be. You know,
the ten commandments used to be pretty clear. One of
the top ones with thou shalt not steal, and that
seemed to be a lesson that we're all brought up with,
at least at one point most of us were brought
up with in our lives. You don't take something that
doesn't belong to you, and if it's for sale in

(06:21):
a store and you take it without paying for it,
it's stealing. But as we found out that there are
plenty of people out there who don't feel the least
bit guilty about taking something that doesn't belong to them,
or switching labels on it so they pay less than
what the product is actually selling for. I mean, all
of that is stealing. It all is, but for some

(06:45):
reason we managed to justify to ourselves that it's okay.
Several other retail stores have had huge losses to the shoplifting.
But the checkout change, according to Target, all about helping
customers get in and out smoothly. Yes, we don't. We
want you to have a good customer service experience. We
want you, you know, some people that have too many items,
they take too long to check out. But you know,

(07:09):
in order to be able to prevent people from standing
in line. You have to have enough checkout lines open.
So my question is if you target, if you're making
this move to prevent people who have more than ten
items from using the self checkout, have you added cashiers
to the other lines? And if you haven't, what happened

(07:31):
to the whole customer service thing about making the lines
run more smoothly. It's not going to run more smoothly
if you've got people waiting for a long time to
check out. All right, quick little break back with Bore
in a moment, Jimmy Bart show, here a name of
nine fifty KPRC. All right, Trump having fun with it?

(08:08):
That's what I'm gonna call this next segment. Trump having
fun with the media, which he routinely does. He just
absolutely leads them by the nose and fools them virtually
every turn. One of the things he's been talking about
is a third term, And I think the reason why

(08:28):
he does it because he knows it drives the progressive
left crazy. He knows the progressive media will report on it,
and then he can sit there and go, what are
you talking about. I'm not running for a third term.
What makes you think I'm running for a third term.
He gave an interview to Kristen Welker from NBC for
Meet the Press. I'm not quite sure why he did that,

(08:49):
other than the fact that he seems to enjoy doing
interviews with just about anybody. He's certainly not intimidated by
anybody or afraid of anybody. I mean, he knows what
kind of treatment he's going to be yet, and during
the interview he's more than happy to point out how
you unfair questions in unfair network and all the other
things that go along with it. But he got asked

(09:11):
repeatedly by Kristin Welker about this whole third term thing.
Here's President Trump with Kristin Welker, i Meet the Press
talking about a potential third term.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
So many people want me to do it. I have
never had requests so strong as that. But it's something that,
to the best of my knowledge, you're not allowed to do.
I don't know if that's constitutional, that they're not allowing
you to do it or anything else. But there are
many people selling the twenty twenty eight hat. But this
is not something I'm looking to do. I'm looking to

(09:42):
have four great years and turn it over to somebody
ideally a great Republican, a great Republican to carry it forward.
But I think we're going to have four years, and
I think four years is plenty of time to do
something really spectacular.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
The constitution does prohibit it. Have you Some of your
allies are pretty serious about this, though, mister President. I've
spoken to them.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
They say they.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
Are coming up with potential ways. Obviously the biggest one
will be a constitutional amendment.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
That's because they like the job I'm doing and it's
a compliment.

Speaker 4 (10:12):
Has anyone in an official capacity presented you with, sir,
here are some ideas by which you could actually get
a constitution.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
Capacity of being a big supporter of Many people have
said different things, but okay, I'm not looking at that.

Speaker 4 (10:28):
You have built a political movement that has transformed the
Republication Party. It's transformed the country quite frankly.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
Political movement and history MEGA when you make America great again.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
When you look.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
To the future, mister President, do you think the MEGA
movement can survive without you as its leader?

Speaker 5 (10:47):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (10:47):
I do.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
What gives you.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
I think it's so strong, and I think we have
tremendous people. I think we have a tremendous group of people.
We talked about a number of them. You look at Marco,
you look at JD.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
Vans. It was fantastic.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
You look at I could name ten, fifteen, twenty people
right now just sitting here. No, I think we have
a tremendous party. And you know what I can name.
I can name one Democrat. I mean, I look at
the Democrats. They're in total this array. They have a
new person named Crockett. I watched her speak the other day.
She's definitely a low IQ person and they said she's

(11:22):
the future of the party. I said, you have to
be kidding.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
I don't know what they're going to do.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
And I really believe in the two party system because
it's good to be challenged. It's really good to have
a two party you know, it's good being challenge is okay,
it keeps.

Speaker 5 (11:36):
You sure up.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
I don't know what they're going to do.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
Jasmine Crockett, but you see Jasmine Crockett is accomplishing exactly
what she wants to do. She's making a name for herself.
You know, what's the old saying about publicity. There's no
such thing as bad publicity. I think she believes that.
As long as you know who she is, that she's
good to go. You can despise her, you can think

(12:03):
she's a moron, but hey, people have thought the same
thing about AOC and she's still around. She's got huge
name recognition. That's all Jasmine Crockett's trying to get. She's
trying to get name recognition. It's working, working like a charm.
Now here's an idea. Now, I think we probably flowed

(12:24):
this idea before. Do I think that Trump is really
interested in the third term. I don't. But if you
wanted to have Trump for a third term, and you
had a presidential candidate willing to go along with it,
then you could very easily give him a third term
he had a fourth term. As far as that goes,

(12:44):
just put him on the ticket as vice president. Is
there anything that would prohibit that from happening. I know
you can't run for president for a third time, but
could you run for vice president? Because if you could,
you could put somebody else on the presidential ticket, put
Trump on the vice presidential ticket, and when he gets elected,
we got a jailman's agreement that Trump's gonna run things.

(13:08):
So there might be a way around that. But I
don't think he's the least bit interested in finding a
way around that. I really don't for one thing. I mean,
at some point in time, he's got to go, Okay,
that's enough. I've done the best that I can do,
and there are people who can carry on for him.
Is JD Vance one of them? Maybe he very well
could be. Time will tell, But they asked JD Vance

(13:31):
who caught up with him. Brett Baar from Fox caught
up with JD. Vance and asked him about the Trump
third term thing. They're selling hats. Do you know they're
selling hats?

Speaker 1 (13:39):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (13:40):
Trump loves selling merchandise, so yes, of course they're selling
hats Trump twenty twenty eight. More than a lot of
people would would buy that, that's for sure. But here's
Jdvans talking to Brett Baer about this whole third term thing.

Speaker 7 (13:51):
So are the old couple of days ago And there
was some Trump twenty twenty eight hats floating around and
I put one on. I said, mister President, you took
a photo of this, This would go super viral. And
we joked about it and laughed. Look what I've said, Brett,
is I think that the President and I are going to
be working together for years to come. I think that
we have a rare opportunity over these next three years
to actually undo a lot of damage that was caused

(14:14):
by not just the Biden administration, by forty years of
failed policy. But I think build a true American renaissance.
That's what we're excited about. That's what I'm going to
try to do. And if we succeed, then the politics
will take care of themselves, and if we don't succeed,
the politics will take care of themselves that way.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
But you don't really think he's running in twenty twenty
eight two.

Speaker 7 (14:33):
I'll let the presidents speak to his political future.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
I think the president.

Speaker 7 (14:37):
One thing I'll say about the President of United States
is he loves to have a good time with the
American media. And I really do think that if we
take care of business over the next three years, we're
going to be in a great position politically. Whoever ultimately
runs as the President of the United States in twenty twenty.

Speaker 8 (14:53):
On the Democratic side, do you think Alexander Acasio Cortes
AOC is the new leader?

Speaker 1 (14:59):
Could be AOC.

Speaker 7 (15:03):
Prision AOC the stuff of nightmares. Brett, thank you, you've
ruined my sleep. For this the Democratic Party, I don't know, honestly,
I can think about it. I think to the extent
that Democrats have a leader, Donald J. Trump is the
leader of.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
The Democratic Party against because they're just against everything that
he does.

Speaker 7 (15:18):
I mean, who could possibly disagree with rebuilding American manufacturing
and ensuring these steal workers have higher wages and better jobs.
But anytime Donald Trump does anything, they have this emotional
response they have.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
To be against.

Speaker 7 (15:32):
Who could disagree with supporting millions of illegal aliens, many
of whom are violent criminals, But they do, they have,
and I think that what they do is whenever Donald J.
Trump does something, they react negatively to it. They don't
have real leadership. And I think it's why I'm not
too concerned about twenty twenty eight, Because if I wake
up in a fantasy world where the Democrats actually have

(15:54):
constructive ideas about how to govern this country, that'll actually
be a good thing. But if in the world that
we actually live in, where they're just anti Trump about everything,
the politics of twenty twenty eight will take care of
the pilots.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
Yeah they will, Yeah, they will, oh it just I
just love the way Trump plays the media. He just
He just plays them and they are so gullible and
they walk into it every single time they are They
are easily manipulated because you know how they're going to react.

(16:28):
And that is absolutely true. The Democrat Party is run
by Trump. Whatever Trump does, they're they're for the opposite.
He could be in favor of of a staunch Democrat
style program, but if he were in favor of it,
they would not be. Maybe that's a maybe, that's a maybe.
That's one way to lead them further. Not that they

(16:50):
have a whole lot of power in Congress right now. Unbelievable, unbelievable.
All right, what else was I going? Oh, I know
what else I was going to talk about. I wanted
to talk about young people and how it seems like
a lot of young people are starting, you know, they're

(17:10):
really kind of you know, hopping on the Trump bandwagon.
And when you think about it, it kind of makes sense.
Here's Charlie Kirk from Turning Point to USA. He's on
college campuses all the time. Here he is talking about, well,
why young people seem to be going in bigger and
bigger numbers for Trump.

Speaker 6 (17:27):
Well, the crowds are incredible and the support for President
Trump is only growing on the front lines. And secondly,
will they want a message of positivity, they want one
of optimism. You look at what the Democrats are talking about.
It is increasingly cynical, It is negative, It is drenched
in nihilism. And you saw what President Trump, who by
the way, was in exceptional form at the University of Alabama.

(17:48):
He was putting forward a positive vision of American And
I just love what you were talking about. What you
were talking about is the contrast between with those of
us that are conservatives. We have an uplifting message for America,
one that is hopeful, one of family formation, one of
church attendants going up, one of business ownership, of entrepreneurship.
And think about the message of the Democrats. They say,
your country is racist, your past is terrible, your entire

(18:10):
nation is irrelevant and should not really exist in its
current form. They say you might die of climate change,
and the systemic racism is everywhere.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
What a depressing worldview.

Speaker 6 (18:19):
And you contrast that with the Trump agenda of tax
cuts and no tax on overtime and no tax on tips,
and of course for older Americans, no tax on social security.
We are going to see a optimism a golden era
when I'm seeing on the front lines young people that
finally believe that they can have their share and their
shot at the American dream.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
That's a great point. It's about the positivity versus the negativity.
It's the dystopian future the Democrats have versus the you know,
the golden age future that Trump is selling. Which would you,
if you're young, which would you like to think we're
going to have in the next twenty years, you know,
all die from climate change or all thrive with all

(18:58):
these great opportunities. Yeah, I can see why young people
finally said we've had enough of this other stuff. All right, quick,
a little break. We're going to be back with a
guy by the name of Brent Franzen. He runs death Clock.
Have you ever heard of death Clock? We'll talk to
him about that and about this story about Ozempe supposedly

(19:19):
maybe having a positive impact on longevity for your life.
That would be a nice little side benefit. Back with
more in a moment. Jimmy Verchow here on the AM
nine to fifty KPRC. Have you ever heard of death Clock? No,

(19:49):
I know that sounds a little morbid, but death Clock
it's a very interesting concept. Yo. How you live, what
you eat, what you do, what you do for a living,
all those kinds of things can have a direct impact
on how long you live. And if you want to
know how long you're going to live and maybe do
something about it. If you're not going to live that long,
then maybe death Glock is for you. Brent Branson joins

(20:12):
us did you you started up death Clock? When did
that start up? Brent?

Speaker 5 (20:17):
We started death block about a year ago. Yeah, you
answered twenty nine questions and we tell you the day
you're going to die.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
What made you think to do this? I do A
lot of people want to know the day they're going
to die.

Speaker 5 (20:30):
Well, some people, it scares some people. Other people want
to know. We do give two dates. One is the
day you're going to die based on the way you're
living your life currently, and the second is how much
longer you can live if you change some things about
the way you're living to life. So the reason we
started is because preventative healthcare is a joke in the US.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
That's why we've got.

Speaker 5 (20:52):
So many we're all struggling with so many chronic diseases.
Our healthcare system is a sick care system, and so
we wanted to help people take.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
Care of their health to live longer.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
All right, So this is really it's really kind of
about scaring people straight, is what you're saying.

Speaker 5 (21:07):
Yeah, it's an AI that's going to give you a
sense of the trajectory of the length of your life
and then it'll help you live longer. So it produces
what's called the longevity Plans, a bunch of different insights
on things you can do, supplements, behavior changes to live longer.
So yeah, it's a little bit of scaring people straight.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Okay, have you ever just out curiosity? Is there a
way or have you ever tried to follow through to
see how acrid your death clock is?

Speaker 1 (21:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (21:35):
So basically, we trained the data set in the AI
on twelve hundred longevity studies, and then we took a
bunch of people who have already passed and where we
knew a lot about the way that they were living
their lives to train it. Do we think it's the
most accurate life expectancy prediction in existence?

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (21:53):
Now, Ken, you said a moment ago you were talking about,
you know, the current state of health here in the
United States, and I'm I'm sure there's plenty of people
to blame for this. Are you a fan by the
way of RFK Junior and some of the things that
he's going to be trying to do, removing some of
these dangerous dyes. I'm sure they'll be taking a look
at the school lunch program, a process foods, and some

(22:15):
of the other things that we're doing.

Speaker 5 (22:18):
I would say that eighty percent of what.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
He's doing is the same thing that.

Speaker 5 (22:23):
Somebody would do who's a public health policy expert at
some top university. So I think eighty percent is great.
There's a lot of controversy about the remaining twenty percent,
and so I think I would I would share the
view of the public health policy experts that eighty percent
is good and we need a change maker, but there's
twenty percent we need to refine.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
Yeah, I mean, the processed foods thing sort of sticks
out to me. I saw a friend of mine posted
on Facebook. He posted a label of a bottle of
ketchup from like around nineteen sixty five. What the label
looked like, the list of ingredients, and then a bottle
of ketchup from today. The list of ingredients from nineteen

(23:05):
sixty five had maybe three or four things in them,
including mainly tomatoes, salt, and vinegar. I think that's about
all it had in it was those in sugar had
those four items. The one from today has about twelve
thirteen fifteen items, no mono sodium, all kinds of chemical names,

(23:26):
along with of course high fructose corn syrup.

Speaker 5 (23:32):
Oh it's insane. I mean, so we in the US
we spend more per capita on healthcare than any other
country in the world, but we're numbers sixty five in
life expectancy and on processed foods. It's interesting. You can
look at blue zones, which are these few areas in
the world where people live the longest, and there are

(23:52):
no processed foods in those places. So the crappy food
that we're consuming is definitely killing us, I would think too.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
The part of the problem is is that we have
become a nation of non cooks. You know, our idea
of cooking now is that we throw something into the
microwave or the air fryer that we bought already processed
at the grocery store and just basically heated up. There's
not a lot of home cooking left in the United States.

Speaker 5 (24:18):
Is there?

Speaker 2 (24:20):
Well?

Speaker 5 (24:21):
No, And then you think about the knock on effects
of that. So, again going back to blue zones, what
you see in these places is that people not only
do they spend a lot of time cooking, so they'll
spend a few hours cooking, which there's a community element
to that, which we know is really helpful for longevity.
But they're also getting their food locally, and so they're

(24:41):
walking to the market, they're selecting the food, they're walking back,
so there's a physical activity benefit. And so when you
remove that entire process of going out and sourcing the food,
gathering and cooking it with the family, and that's to
say nothing about the health of the food itself. So
you know that whole structure is broken down in a

(25:01):
way that's not good for us.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
Yeah, I've got a trip coming up to Greece. I'm
really curious to see how this all goes, because I'm
going to be eating Greek cuisine made by you know,
homemade cuisine made in Greece. I'm sure it's Greek food
in Greece is a whole lot different than Greek food
in the United States.

Speaker 5 (25:21):
Oh yeah, for sure. And what you're going to find
in those environments is there are as you're saying about
the catchup. There are just fewer ingredients, and so you know,
that's why we talk about the whole foods diet. If
you know what you're consuming and it's tingle ingredient or
there are just a few ingredients, that's a good marker
for how healthy it is for you and how it's

(25:42):
going to contribute to your mortality.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Yeah. One of the things that a lot of Americans
are trying to do is they're trying to lose weight,
but they're trying to lose weight by taking drugs. O
Zepic comes to mind, for example. I don't know how
you feel about ozepic. I saw a story recently that
seemed to indicate that there may be a longevity tie
in between some of these weight loss supplements like ozepic.
I guess the question would be, is that is it

(26:04):
a positive or negative when it comes to longevity to
take these drugs that weren't really made for weight loss
but seem to have an impact on weight loss.

Speaker 5 (26:16):
I think it's probably a positive. The caveat there is
that it's still early. So semiglue tides like ozepic and
LGOVI have really strong cardiovascular benefits, so reducing risk of
heart disease. They have very strong metabolic benefits, so reducing
the risk of type two diabetes. And then anti inflammatory benefits,

(26:38):
so chronic inflammation is something that contributes to mortality as well.
They have benefits there and so very clear benefits. If
you're microdosing them, you're getting fewer of the side effect
and they cost less, but.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
Still a lot to be learned.

Speaker 5 (26:53):
There are concerns of bone loss and muscle loss, and
so they're not a replacement for the basics sleep diet,
nexts size still really matter. If anything, the matter matter
a little bit more if you're taking these because of
the concerns of specifically muscle loss and bonus.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
I'm curious here if if you were trying, if you
were to counsel somebody and I realized that you're you're
not a physician, Brent. I don't mean to put that
on you. By the and again we're talking to death clocks, Brent.
How do you pronounce your last at Franson correct?

Speaker 5 (27:23):
Yeah? Brent Franson, founder of Death Talks.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
Yeah. I just want to make sure I got that
last name pronounced correctly. I got spell correct. I just
don't always get to pronounce correctly. But you're not a physician,
so I'm not asking you to give a physician's opinion
about this. But as somebody who who's obviously done a
lost studying about you know, the pros and cons of
of of of different weight loss programs and and and

(27:45):
the things that you can do to to help give
yourself a better quality of life. I'm wondering if you
were to advise somebody who's morbidly obese, if you were
to give them but one step of the time plan,
Here's do this first, do this. Second, when you when
you've mastered that, do this. Third, what would be your

(28:05):
order of things that you would advise people to do
to just get on the right path, because it has
to become a habit doesn't it?

Speaker 1 (28:14):
It does?

Speaker 5 (28:14):
I mean, I think that's that's a hard one. So
morbid obesity is very complex and specific to the individual.
What I would say about GLP ones in particular is
the reason they's such a breakthrough is that they help
change behavior. And so if you are morbidly obese, you
have you have struggled with overeating, you have struggled with

(28:36):
lacks of exercise, You've got you know, you've got genetics
that are not working in your favor, and it's not
that you don't want to change, it's that's just been
very difficult to change behavior. Change is really really hard.
And what these GLP ones do is they basically they
bind to the receptor and these hormones that help us

(28:57):
control things like cravings and blood sugar, and they enhance
their effects. And so I think they can be really
positive for people who have struggled with weight loss for
a long time, but they need to be taken very
cautiously with a physician. You've got to take very seriously
the recommendations related to exercise and the things that you're

(29:19):
doing in conjunction with them. But they seem to be
very powerful options for people who have struggled for a
long time.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
In other words, they're a very helpful tool. They're not
to be all end all. They will not You will
not lose massive amounts of weight unless you change your
habits along with taking the medication.

Speaker 5 (29:37):
Yeah, I think you can lose a fair amount of
weight without totally changing your habits. But you want to
do both things and concerts. So what you don't want
to do is you take the GLP one, and you
know you're eating a lot less than you're reducing your weight,
but then you're you know, you're struggling with muscle loss
and other things because the weight loss is not always

(29:58):
going to come exclusively from fat loss. The second thing
is is the rebound can be quite intense. You can
just kind of yo yo back to where you were.
And so you do want to make sure that you
are figuring out how to adopt those healthy habits in
your life and change your lifestyle so that you're not
reliant on these drugs forever.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
And if you need more motivation, go on death clock
and pop the death clock.

Speaker 5 (30:22):
AI learn when you're gonna die. Promise It's not as
scary as it sounds. And the beautiful thing is you
can change your trajectory. A lot of you know, seventy
five percent of our longevity is in your own hand.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
Yeah, it's like the ghost of a Christmas future ride.
Your future can be changed, but it's up to you
to change it.

Speaker 5 (30:39):
Yeah, exactly do you want to be on that picture,
the family picture in you know, forty years or not?

Speaker 2 (30:44):
Yep? Powerful motivation. Hey Brett, good to talk to you.
Thanks for your time today. Sure to appreciate it. Yeah,
thank you so much. Have a good one. YouTube. Brett
Frasn't with the death clock back with more in a moment.
Jimmy Bairt show here a nine fifty KPRC all right.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
Jobs report came out on Friday.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
We didn't really well, we couldn't really talk about that
because it was kind of after, you know, after we'd
already put this show together for the day. So I thought, well,
it'll keep till Monday. Let's talk about the jobs report.
One hundred and seventy seven thousand jobs were added. That
is much higher than expected. That's good. I'm not sure
why they're expecting. I think they're expecting a lower number

(31:42):
because they thought there was going to be i don't know,
more layoffs attributable to tariffs, maybe, although it seemed a
little early for that to kick in. I'm not quite
sure why they thought the April numbers would not be
that good. But they didn't think they'd be that good.
So Wall Street, when they are pleasantly surprised, responds in

(32:03):
a pleasantly surprising way. The numbers go up. And that's
what happened on Friday. And they're talking about this on
Fox Business, of course, because that's what they do on
Fox Business. Jerry willis, who's one of their business reporters?

Speaker 1 (32:18):
And who's the other young lady Taylor? What's her last name? No, no, no,
no no no no no, no, no, no Taylor.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
Anyway, I'll get her last name on the secondary while
I read in my notes here, but here they are
talking about the very positive reaction from Wall Street with
Larry Cudlow. Let's see what they have to say about
all this. Yeah, where we end this time? Yeah, we
were five hundred change on the Dow. It was one
percent plus for every index. It was a massive move.

Speaker 9 (32:48):
It was a move on a day that people expected
just the opposite because of the jobs report. Market loved
the jobs report. It hit on all cylinders. The top line,
one hundred and seventy seven thousand jobs, expecting far less.
We've got a really strong report there, and it's the
devil's in the details. To let me just give you
a couple of details. For example, we saw twenty nine

(33:10):
thousand additional jobs in transportation and warehousing.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
Where do you think that people.

Speaker 9 (33:16):
Thought the economy would be cut warehousing because of tariffs? Right?

Speaker 1 (33:20):
Didn't happen?

Speaker 9 (33:21):
And guess what we saw shares of FedEx go go
up five percent today, So it's an interesting what's going
on here? Crude oil below sixty bucks a barrel. We're
hitting on all cylinders here.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
This is the.

Speaker 10 (33:35):
Best Friday reaction to a job support that we've gotten
in two years. This is the longest winning streak since
two thousand and four, and the best winning streak in
that nine days.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
Up more than ten percent.

Speaker 10 (33:46):
As you mentioned in the riff ever for the S
and P five hundred, I loved it. I quoted this
that the S ANDP was at fifty six seventy one
the minute the market closed on Liberation Day, and we
are well above that. So if you had just stayed
there had a little faith, Yes, tariffs were going to
be a little bit rocky, but this economic army Geddon

(34:06):
that we kept talking about, certainly at least for now,
has not come to fruition when we think about the
markets and jobs day. I woke up this morning and
I saw the numbers come in, and I thought, this
feels like American exceptionalism is back, in the sense that
it doesn't mean that things can't get worse, doesn't mean
the market doesn't fall on Monday, or that jobs might

(34:27):
not be lost in the future. But we came into
Liberation Day underestimating the resiliency of the smart CEOs who said,
I'll figure it out.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
Yeah, and smart CEOs do figure it out. And here's
what they're you know, they're talking about the layoffs or
lack thereof. Here's what they're figuring out here. Here's where
I would hope job losses would occur within government, government
job losses. I'm fully in favor of government job losses.
You know, during the by administration, that's those are only

(35:01):
job gains we got were government jobs, you know, and
government pensions and all the benefits to go along with it.
We need more, We need less government jobs and more
private sector jobs. That's what needs to grow the private sector.
And I think that's what we're going to see here.
We're going to see, you know, we're going to see

(35:21):
more jobs in the private sector, less government jobs, and
we're going to see people moving from government jobs to
private sector jobs. And one of the reasons why they're
going to be making these moves is we're going to
make more stuff in the US. And it's already showing up.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
Murk.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
I saw Merk's CEO with the Maria Bartarama on Fox
Business talking about this new billion dollar plus plant they're
going to build or in the process of building, in Wilmington, Delaware,
with a purpose of making drugs in the United States.

Speaker 8 (35:50):
This is something we've been actually working on for a while.
This really goes back to the Tax Cutting Jobs Act
that was put in place during the first Trump administration
and we started investing under a new strategy to source
US for US patients at that time and have been
doing so since then, with over twelve billion invested to
date in an additional nine billion more than nine billion

(36:13):
potentially coming, with this being the first billion of that investment.
And this is really exciting because it's really going to
be a state of the art biologics manufacturing facility with
the capability to do both drug substance and drug product
and over time it's going to have the capability and
our intent is to make this the home for Katruda,

(36:36):
which is obviously our very important oncology drug, to make
sure that we can serve the patients facing the devastating
disease of cancer from drugs made here in the United States.
So we're quite excited about this and really see it
as a first step.

Speaker 2 (36:50):
I go, okay, I like that. I mean, I'm not
a big fan of all the drugs that companies are promoting,
you know, in advertising, some of them, I'm sure helpful.
I mean, we talked, you know, in the last segment
about Mozepic, and it seems to have some positives associated
with it more than just you know, weight loss, reducing

(37:12):
inflammation according to the guy from death Clock. So you know,
there's some drugs out there, they're they're worth doing. It
just feels like, you know, I feel like, you know,
the reason for the advertising is because there's so much
money to be made from this. So maybe it makes
me feel better if we're making money here in the
United States versus you know, other foreign countries where we

(37:33):
have gotten so many of our drugs from in the past.
All right, got to leave it at that for today.
Oh happy sink of to my almost forgot sake of
to mile today. Be careful out there. There'll be more
than a few people having too many surbass, so be
careful out there, and we will talk to you tomorrow
morning bright in early five am over on news radio
