What we need is more common sense.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Breaking down the world's nonsense about how American common sense will.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
See 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.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Now here's Jimmy Barrett.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
I think this is a good topic to start our
Friday show off with today. It's a good topic. It's
also a very dangerous topic. Have you ever have you
ever told your wife she doesn't look good in something?
You know because she she's gonna ask you, right, how
does does this make me? I mean, the ever popular
Does this make me look fat? Does this outfit? Does
(00:56):
this go together? I get asked that's stuff all the time.
And the thing I really one of the many things
I really appreciate about Elizabeth is that she is She
is very honest. She is bluntly honest, as honest as
the day is long. And she expects me to be
the same way with her when it comes to outfits
that she's asking for my opinion on. She'll want to
(01:19):
know something is too tight, and she never asked me
does this make my butt look too big? Thank God?
But she does ask me if this is something is
too tight or if it's too loose, But mainly she
asks me do these colors go together? Because there's one
thing I've learned about her. She's not color blind, but
she doesn't have a lot of fashion sense when it
(01:42):
comes to putting colors together. The fact that I do
is a little disturbing in its own way, because, after all,
I'm a guy, and you know, and I'm not a
metrosexual by any stretch of the imagination, So I have
no idea why I'm pretty good at figuring out what
colors go together and what don't, or what colors good
with your skin tone and that type of thing, and
(02:03):
and and and. The other thing that makes me surprised
that I'm good at doing that is because you know,
we don't. It's not like we have a lot of
selections when we're men. I mean, right, guys, I mean,
how many how many colors are we working with in
our wardrobe. You've got stuff that's black, You've got stuff
that's blue, You've got stuff that that that is green,
which is kind of a subset of blue, and you
(02:24):
have stuff that's tan and gray. So at the most
you're working with four or five different colors or variations
of those four or five different colors. That's it. You know,
most of us are wearing purple or pink or a
lot of other colors that women are wearing. Sometimes you
may have a shirt that's red or something like that.
But you know, most of what we work with are
(02:45):
things that go together pretty easily. Women have a more
difficult time because they sometimes have to see if they
can figure out whether the color palette is going to
clash and and and that's my main function with Elizabeth,
as she'll say do these do these colors work together
or go together? And I'll say yes or no, and
(03:08):
then she'll ask me why, and I'll tell her why.
I think they either they don't go together. In the
case that they don't, yeah, And I'm hard pressed to
give you an example, but you know there's some like purple,
purple and green, depending upon the color green, purple and
green to me don't go together. And she would routinely
put two colors like that together, and I'm going, eh, no,
(03:29):
I think I think this color would be better with
those pants, or that this colored pant would be better
with that shirt kind of thing. But Anyway, we got
into this topic this morning because I have a story
here that says, you know, ways you can tell your
spouse you don't like what they're wearing without actually saying
I don't like what you're wearing. And one of the
example is if I was as beautiful as you, So
(03:50):
it starts off with a compliment. Right, if I was
as beautiful as you, I wouldn't care about my clothes either.
Talk about a backhanded compliment. Is that any better than
say you don't just don't like the outfit? Doesn't seem
like it's that much. So I kind of challenged our
listeners to chime in on this, and this is what
some of you had to say on our morning show
(04:12):
on kat r H about putting colors together and those
types of things.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Good morning this and Billy but cool to destruction. And
I would tell my wife she.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Looks wonderful, but the clothes will look better in the
corner later, Just Russell from Gia Park, Texas, listen Concertati
the clothes, I just killing my wife's sweetheart. You know
I love you, You know I love you, but if you
want to look fitter, you need to pick out another
(04:43):
And you know she understands she loves me. We've been
married four years. Good morning, guys.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
When it came to my wife and what she wore,
she was beautiful no matter what she had on.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Yeah, yeah, I hain'te that's the truth. But sometimes the
beautiful than other times.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
You know.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
The biggest trouble I ever got into with Elizabeth over
this particular topic is she was shopping for a dress.
She drug me along to go shopping for a dress
for a wedding that we were going to go to,
and she was trying on outfit after outfit after outfit
after outfit, and this was going on for quite some time. Now,
(05:24):
I'm I'm what I would call a kamakazi shopper. I
pretty much know what I'm going to go get. For example,
I went on I bought a new suit to to
officiate my my sister's daughter's wedding. My niece and I went.
I went to UH Joseph a Bank, and I walked
in and I picked out the suit, and I picked
(05:47):
out a shirt, and I picked out a tie, and
I did it in probably ten minutes. If you take
if you take out the trying the suit on and
then making a couple of adjustments in the fit maybe
ten minutes, maybe ten minutes. So I'm pretty efficient when
it comes to that. I know what I like, I
know how I wanted to fit. I don't waste a
(06:08):
lot of time with that stuff. And this process of
her trying to find this dress for this wedding, not
this wedding, this is years ago. But I learned a
valuable lesson from this was I got to the point
where I just said, you know, pretty much the next
thing that she tried on, I love that dress. That's
perfect for you. That's great, Let's get this dress. And
I was so enthusiastic about it. Of course I wasn't
(06:29):
really that enthusiastic about it, but I sounded so enthusiastic
about it that she okay, all right, and she bought
the dress, and then she wore that dress to the wedding.
And I think the worst thing you can do to
a woman is to not give her any compliments, you know,
especially from other women. If other women see you and
they don't say anything nice about what you're wearing, then
(06:53):
they know that they don't look that great in what
it is that you're wearing. And that's what happened to her,
and she actually asked one of her friends, what do
you think of this dress? And they were honest with her,
and she was so mad at me. You just you
just were tired of shopping, weren't you. You You were
going to say yes to whatever I was wearing at
that point, and I couldn't really deny it. But there's
(07:16):
two morals of that story. Number one, don't lie to
your wife about how she looks in an outfit. If
you deep down inside, no, you can find a diplomatic
way to tell her you don't like it, or it
doesn't look good, or whatever the case. May be better
off telling her the truth and lying to her. At
least in the case of my wife, that's number one.
And number two, do not go shopping with her. Make
(07:37):
her either go shopping by herself or with another female
who she can have that conversation with. At least that's
what I learned. All right, quick little break back with
Mortimo and Jimmy Barrett show here on AM nine fifty KPRC.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
All right, full disclosure here.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
I don't normally spend a long time talking about going
on vacation, but I've been on vacation so often lately.
I feel like I should at least drop a mention
in here so that when you hear some best stuffs
coming up next week, you well, if you're not hearing
this message, the first thing you're gonna say.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Is is he going again? How many vacations does this
guy get?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Well? Two things about that. Number One, it's just the
way the schedule worked out this year. You know, we
had that listener trip on kt R H Degrease that
was nine days, and then after I booked that trip,
my sister calls me up and says, you know, Jilly
(08:45):
wants to know if you'll officiate her wedding. And what
I'm gonna say no to my sister And I got
to go to the wedding right and the weddings in
San Diego. So there's a couple of days from a
little over a week ago that I took off, and
then we always take this one week to go to
the Outers in North Carolina with a bunch of our
Virginia friends, and that that's been on the calendar. Well,
(09:05):
that's that's on the calendar every year. So I end
up with basically three vacation dates within a month, which
which normally I would never do. I'd spread them out
and and and for a lot of reasons, not the
least of which is is that you know, you're going
some people who like listening to our show, and I
hope there's a lot of you out there are going.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Where the hell is he?
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Now?
Speaker 2 (09:27):
I mean, where'd he go? But there's no more vacation scheduled.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
I think I'm off for Labor Day and maybe Friday,
going into the Labory weekend, and then that's it until Thanksgiving.
So I will be around throughout the month of August, September, October,
most of November. So yeah, I'm not I'm not going anywhere.
I just it just it's just and I didn't go anywhere,
you know, at the beginning of the year, so I
did just the way the schedule worked out. Sorry about that.
(09:53):
Uh there, I feel better. At least at least I
told you what's going on with that. Now here's something
that's making me really really happy today, because if you
listen to the show on the regular basis, you've heard
me rail against NPR and PBS before, not as organizations.
I don't care that NPR exists National Public Radio. I
don't care that PBS exists the public broadcast system. That's fine.
(10:16):
I don't care that they are extremely liberal and biased.
After all, I am extremely conservative and biased, and that's fine.
I don't care anymore that quote unquote news anchors or
news organizations are slanting the product that they serve up
(10:36):
to the American people. I do longer care about that.
We're all big boys and big girls. We can determine
what we want to watch, what we want to listen to.
We can deal with the politics of whatever it is
that we're listening to. The only thing I resent is
a news organization that tries to tell me, first of
all that they aren't biased because that's BS, and second
(10:59):
of all, expects me to help pay for it with
my taxpayer dollars also BS, which is the problem I've
always had with NPR and PBS. Now, when they first
started off late sixties, early seventies, I understand why it
happened at the time. At the time, there was not
(11:20):
a lot of good educational programming, especially for kids, so
the justification to use taxpayer dollars to provide this programming
was so that it would exist. But that is no
longer the case and hasn't been the case. For a
long long time, NPR and PBS run on business models.
(11:41):
They go back to the nineteen seventies and they've never changed.
You know, they have corporate sponsors. They don't run commercials,
They just have brief messages from corporate sponsors. They and
they get and they get fees from the television and
radio stations that carry their programming, and they get you know,
(12:02):
a billion plus from the federal government. That's the part
that I resent, that's the part that needed to go away.
And thanks to the House passing in the wee hours
passing the nine point five billion in cuts from the Senate,
they have lost that funding. The federal funding has gone away.
(12:23):
Thank god, it has finally gone away. Now you're going
to hear a lot of doom and gloom. And maybe
some of you like PBS, maybe some of you listen
to NPR every now and again. I don't believe for
minutes they're going to disappear. What they're going to have
to do is they're going to have to make choices.
What's really important. Who are the people we need to keep,
(12:45):
who are the people that are expendable? You know, what
are some of the programming choices that we are making.
Are these the right choices to make for us to
be a commercial entity, because that's what they're going to
have to be. They can exist, but they're going to
need to exist in their own world. Would it kill
(13:07):
anybody if you really like NPR or PBS, would it
kill you to listen to a few commercials. Are listening
to commercials any worse than listening to pleas for donations?
Because when they're doing their Pledge Week stuff, that's all
they do is beg for money. I would much rather
listen to a few commercials from sponsors who believe in
(13:29):
the product than to listen to them begging for money.
To me, that's the only thing that's really going to change.
Here's the other part that I really resented about NPR
and PBS, that they somehow either don't think they're biased
or want to try to convince us, because after all,
we're stupid, convince us that they're not biased. So Senator
(13:50):
John Kennedy, before they were taking a vote on all this,
who was making the case of the bias on NPR,
in particular by showing some of the headlines of stories
that they were carrying. Here is Senator Kennedy.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Was he on a public broadcasting becoming Papa Father's key
the gender justice. Another headline from PBS, the hidden racism
of young white Americas. Here's another headline from NPR, how
racism became a marketing tool for country music. Biden Trumpet's
(14:27):
economic gains but struggles to get critic I could do
this all night.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
Remember, this is an institution that deliberately chose not to
cover the Hunter Biden laptop story because in their own words,
it was nothing but a distraction. What did they do instead?
They ran articles about gender queer dinosaurs, about how civility
is racist, and about fat phobia. I don't think that
that serves the public interest for the American people.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
I don't think that.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
These institutions should exist to begin with at all, and
I certainly don't think that hard working tax dollar should
go to pay for them. So we're finally going to
defund them tonight and get this done. We're going to
get a bill to the President's desk shortly. This is
something that Republicans have been talking about for decades now,
defunding left wing media institutions. As I've said many times,
(15:17):
I don't think that any media should be funded if
Fox News, for Fox Business or any other conservative outlet
came to me and they asked me for tax dollars,
I would tell them no.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
And I'm certainly going to say no to.
Speaker 6 (15:29):
Left wing propaganda state sponsored media outlets.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
That is Brandon gil By the way, Texas Representative Brandon
gill And as long as we're hearing from Texas representatives
on the topic of NPR and BBS, here is Chip Royce.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
This is stuff we've been working on for years. My
friend E lu Craine offered an amendment two years ago
in Appropriations to remove all of that. Interestingly, we only
had about one hundred and four Republicans vote for it
and had one hundred and I think twelve or fourteen
vote against it. Now things have changed, President Trump's leadership
efforts and the Freedom Caucus and Conservatives. Now people I
(16:02):
think understand this waste needs to go away, the efforts
that Elon and Doge did to highlight it. So I'm
glad to see the Senate do it. We're removing that funding,
the funding for NPR and PBS. I mean, listen, Harris,
I was just in Texas with the floods that were
ravaging the communities that I represent, And they were more
interested in trying to get people to call their house
(16:23):
members and senators to save NPR and PBS than they
were on reporting on what was going on with the
floods in Central Texas. So we know they're biased. They
don't need to be funded by taxpayer dollars. Now we
can save money and actually do what the American people sent.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Us here to do. Well.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
And you know, here's the thing. I hate to be
little nine point five billion, and I won't. I'm glad
we're saving the money, But that is you know, I
think I described it yesterday. That's that's an ice cube
on an iceberg, not just the tip of the iceberg.
It's an ice cube on the iceberg. There are trillions
of dollars that are wasted by the government. We need
(17:02):
hundreds of billions of dollars. So nine billion, okay, it's
a start. It's something. I like the fact that they
they've done something. But that's that's that's just a tip
of the iceberg ice cube. Let's let's work on this
harder and more, because a whole lot more cuts need
to be made. All Right, We're gonna take quick little
break back with more in a moment Jimmy Baird Show
(17:24):
here on AM nine fifty k PRC. All right, a
couple of things to wrap up the show today and
(17:46):
then again on vacation next week. I promise no mortifications
at least until Labor Day weekend. And uh oh, yes,
I want to bring this one up because I found
this fascinating. I'm surprised that Fox Business got their hands
on this guy. You know, we talk all the time
about paid protests that a lot of the protesting you
see are protesters that are bought and paid for. They're
(18:09):
not people who really care that much about the cause.
They care about getting paid to show up. So much
so that there is a group out there called Crowds
on Demand. I guess it's been around for the better
part of a decade. They keep a pretty low profile,
but they got in the news because their CEO and founder,
(18:31):
Adam Swart, turned down twenty million dollars to organize a
Trump protest. Not because he's a Trump fan, not because
he's a conservative. When you listen to this, you clearly
can tell he isn't. But his only criteria evidently he's
a mercenary. He's a guy for hire. You you hire me,
(18:54):
and I will get a big crowd to show up
and protest against whatever it is that you want me
to protest against or for, or whatever it is you
want me to protest for, and I'll bring a crowd there.
And that's what he does. He gets paid millions of
dollars and he uses some of that money to pay
people to show up and to protest, and I'm sure
(19:15):
for signs and all the other things that go into
a protest. It is a professional organization. Crowds on Demand
is the name of the organization. So I saw him
on Fox Business and he's getting asked, so, why did
you turn down the twenty million? And more importantly, who
was going to give you the twenty million dollars in
order to do this? Here's a little bit of that conversation.
Speaker 8 (19:36):
First of all, the reason why I turned it down
is the same reason that Tom Hanks or George Clooney
would turn down appearing in a Marvel superhero movie.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
It's just they don't want to attach.
Speaker 8 (19:47):
Their name to something that ultimately is not going to
be successful. Unfortunately, Crowds on Demand we've been around for
thirteen years now with the largest protest company in the country.
We did not see this particular day of action was
going to be impactful for the cause that they seek
to espouse, so we unfortunately had to decline.
Speaker 9 (20:09):
So what proof that they paid tried to pay you?
Who exactly is paying you to recruit protesters and against Trump?
Speaker 2 (20:17):
What are their names? Well?
Speaker 8 (20:19):
Sure, I mean, first of all, I wouldn't be in
business for thirteen years if I told people everyone who
came to us with a cause that I disagreed with
or that I didn't think.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Was going to be effective.
Speaker 8 (20:30):
So obviously I would have to politely decline to reveal
the information about who is contacting.
Speaker 9 (20:37):
Is it a far left billionaire? Is it a far
left billionaire or nonprofit? Are they recognizable Democrat names?
Speaker 8 (20:43):
Well? Sure, I mean I think it would be someone
that people would people would recognize as being well healed
interests I would I would leave it at that.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Is it George Sorows's group?
Speaker 8 (20:56):
Well, look, here's my sense on Sorows. A lot of
people are working for Soros who don't even know they're
working for Soros because same with a lot of other billionaires.
Because what they have is what's called a Russian doll
influence network. So that's little dolls that fold into bigger dolls.
So they you could be working with a lot of billionaires,
(21:17):
either conservative or liberal without even knowing it, because they
have a network of advocacy groups foundations see fours, and
so you're with.
Speaker 9 (21:26):
Them, you've worked with you've worked with these groups in
the past. Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 8 (21:30):
Well, of course, I mean I don't want to name
specific names, but of course we work on a number
of causes, both liberal and conservative, but always on the
side of common sense.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
No, I don't believe that though, sorry you lost me there.
We always work on the side of common sense. You
work on the side of the highest bidder. I understand
your policy about it needed to be something that's going
to be successful, because if it's not going to be successful,
you don't want your name attached to it, right, because
(22:05):
that you don't get more business by being unsuccessful. You
have to pick and choose the things you're going to
do based on the ability for them to be successful.
And sure, George Soros is among those that's doing that,
and there are probably some other names in there as well.
There's plenty of multi millionaire billionaire people out there who
(22:26):
have causes. But again, the bottom line here is these protests.
For the most part, these protesters, they're bought and paid for.
It's not that they're big believers in the cause, they're
doing a job. And what's really behind it all are
a few puppet masters who are trying to make the
rest of the world think that this is something that
(22:48):
everybody believes in when clearly they don't. All Right, one
more little story here before we call it a day,
and that's because they made such a big deal. They're
still making a big deal of this.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Today.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
President Trump hasle and ankles, and they had He had
some makeup on his hand covering up a bruise, and
in the mainstream media is having a field day with this.
Oh my god, is if something is horribly wrong with
the president? He has chronic venus insufficiency, So what so
(23:19):
do I? It just means that his leg veins are
not as efficient as they should be. Blood has a
hard time moving back up to the heart because the
valves are working the way they're supposed to, and he's
got You can get swollen legs, you can get swollen ankles.
The normal treatment for something like that work impression socks,
(23:39):
put your feet up. This is you know, unless it's
from deep vein thrombosis or something like that, it's just
not serious. Here's Caroline Levitt talking about it.
Speaker 10 (23:49):
Any in the media have been speculating about bruising on
the President's hand and also swelling in the President's legs.
So in the effort of transparency, the President wanted me
to share a note from his physician with all of
you today. In recent weeks, President Trump noted mild swelling
in his lower legs. In keeping with routine medical care
(24:09):
and out of an abundance of caution, this concern was
thoroughly evaluated by the White House Medical Unit. The President
underwent a comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies. Bilateral lower
extremity venus Doppler ultrasounds were performed and revealed chronic venous
(24:29):
insufficiency a B nine in common condition, particularly in individuals
over the age of seventy. Importantly, there was no evidence
of deep vein frombosis or arterial disease. Laboratory testing included
a complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel, coagulation profile, d
(24:51):
dimer B type natriotic peptide, and cardiac biomarkers. All results
were within normal limits. An echocardia was also performed in
confirmed normal cardiac structure and function. No signs of heart failure,
renal impairment, or systemic illness were identified. Additionally, recent photos
(25:12):
of the President have shown minor bruising on the back
of his hand. This is consistent with minor soft tissue
irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin, which
is taken as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen.
This is a well known and benign side effect of
aspirin therapy, and the President remains in excellent health.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
There you go, see that, Now that really is transparent.
The same people who were covering up for Biden and
wouldn't talk about his mental acuity or lack thereof, are
making a big deal out of something that is benign
and fairly common, especially in older people. Go figure, Hey,
listen on vacation next week. I'll see you a week
(25:54):
for Monday. Have a great weekend. I'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 10 (26:00):
At the Fender had the band the fa
What we need is more common sense.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Breaking down the world's nonsense about how American common sense will.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
See 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.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Now here's Jimmy Barrett.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
I think this is a good topic to start our
Friday show off with today. It's a good topic. It's
also a very dangerous topic. Have you ever have you
ever told your wife she doesn't look good in something?
You know because she she's gonna ask you, right, how
does does this make me? I mean, the ever popular
Does this make me look fat? Does this outfit? Does
(00:56):
this go together? I get asked that's stuff all the time.
And the thing I really one of the many things
I really appreciate about Elizabeth is that she is She
is very honest. She is bluntly honest, as honest as
the day is long. And she expects me to be
the same way with her when it comes to outfits
that she's asking for my opinion on. She'll want to
(01:19):
know something is too tight, and she never asked me
does this make my butt look too big? Thank God?
But she does ask me if this is something is
too tight or if it's too loose, But mainly she
asks me do these colors go together? Because there's one
thing I've learned about her. She's not color blind, but
she doesn't have a lot of fashion sense when it
(01:42):
comes to putting colors together. The fact that I do
is a little disturbing in its own way, because, after all,
I'm a guy, and you know, and I'm not a
metrosexual by any stretch of the imagination, So I have
no idea why I'm pretty good at figuring out what
colors go together and what don't, or what colors good
with your skin tone and that type of thing, and
(02:03):
and and and. The other thing that makes me surprised
that I'm good at doing that is because you know,
we don't. It's not like we have a lot of
selections when we're men. I mean, right, guys, I mean,
how many how many colors are we working with in
our wardrobe. You've got stuff that's black, You've got stuff
that's blue, You've got stuff that that that is green,
which is kind of a subset of blue, and you
(02:24):
have stuff that's tan and gray. So at the most
you're working with four or five different colors or variations
of those four or five different colors. That's it. You know,
most of us are wearing purple or pink or a
lot of other colors that women are wearing. Sometimes you
may have a shirt that's red or something like that.
But you know, most of what we work with are
(02:45):
things that go together pretty easily. Women have a more
difficult time because they sometimes have to see if they
can figure out whether the color palette is going to
clash and and and that's my main function with Elizabeth,
as she'll say do these do these colors work together
or go together? And I'll say yes or no, and
(03:08):
then she'll ask me why, and I'll tell her why.
I think they either they don't go together. In the
case that they don't, yeah, And I'm hard pressed to
give you an example, but you know there's some like purple,
purple and green, depending upon the color green, purple and
green to me don't go together. And she would routinely
put two colors like that together, and I'm going, eh, no,
(03:29):
I think I think this color would be better with
those pants, or that this colored pant would be better
with that shirt kind of thing. But Anyway, we got
into this topic this morning because I have a story
here that says, you know, ways you can tell your
spouse you don't like what they're wearing without actually saying
I don't like what you're wearing. And one of the
example is if I was as beautiful as you, So
(03:50):
it starts off with a compliment. Right, if I was
as beautiful as you, I wouldn't care about my clothes either.
Talk about a backhanded compliment. Is that any better than
say you don't just don't like the outfit? Doesn't seem
like it's that much. So I kind of challenged our
listeners to chime in on this, and this is what
some of you had to say on our morning show
(04:12):
on kat r H about putting colors together and those
types of things.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Good morning this and Billy but cool to destruction. And
I would tell my wife she.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Looks wonderful, but the clothes will look better in the
corner later, Just Russell from Gia Park, Texas, listen Concertati
the clothes, I just killing my wife's sweetheart. You know
I love you, You know I love you, but if you
want to look fitter, you need to pick out another
(04:43):
And you know she understands she loves me. We've been
married four years. Good morning, guys.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
When it came to my wife and what she wore,
she was beautiful no matter what she had on.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Yeah, yeah, I hain'te that's the truth. But sometimes the
beautiful than other times.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
You know.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
The biggest trouble I ever got into with Elizabeth over
this particular topic is she was shopping for a dress.
She drug me along to go shopping for a dress
for a wedding that we were going to go to,
and she was trying on outfit after outfit after outfit
after outfit, and this was going on for quite some time. Now,
(05:24):
I'm I'm what I would call a kamakazi shopper. I
pretty much know what I'm going to go get. For example,
I went on I bought a new suit to to
officiate my my sister's daughter's wedding. My niece and I went.
I went to UH Joseph a Bank, and I walked
in and I picked out the suit, and I picked
(05:47):
out a shirt, and I picked out a tie, and
I did it in probably ten minutes. If you take
if you take out the trying the suit on and
then making a couple of adjustments in the fit maybe
ten minutes, maybe ten minutes. So I'm pretty efficient when
it comes to that. I know what I like, I
know how I wanted to fit. I don't waste a
(06:08):
lot of time with that stuff. And this process of
her trying to find this dress for this wedding, not
this wedding, this is years ago. But I learned a
valuable lesson from this was I got to the point
where I just said, you know, pretty much the next
thing that she tried on, I love that dress. That's
perfect for you. That's great, Let's get this dress. And
I was so enthusiastic about it. Of course I wasn't
(06:29):
really that enthusiastic about it, but I sounded so enthusiastic
about it that she okay, all right, and she bought
the dress, and then she wore that dress to the wedding.
And I think the worst thing you can do to
a woman is to not give her any compliments, you know,
especially from other women. If other women see you and
they don't say anything nice about what you're wearing, then
(06:53):
they know that they don't look that great in what
it is that you're wearing. And that's what happened to her,
and she actually asked one of her friends, what do
you think of this dress? And they were honest with her,
and she was so mad at me. You just you
just were tired of shopping, weren't you. You You were
going to say yes to whatever I was wearing at
that point, and I couldn't really deny it. But there's
(07:16):
two morals of that story. Number one, don't lie to
your wife about how she looks in an outfit. If
you deep down inside, no, you can find a diplomatic
way to tell her you don't like it, or it
doesn't look good, or whatever the case. May be better
off telling her the truth and lying to her. At
least in the case of my wife, that's number one.
And number two, do not go shopping with her. Make
(07:37):
her either go shopping by herself or with another female
who she can have that conversation with. At least that's
what I learned. All right, quick little break back with
Mortimo and Jimmy Barrett show here on AM nine fifty KPRC.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
All right, full disclosure here.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
I don't normally spend a long time talking about going
on vacation, but I've been on vacation so often lately.
I feel like I should at least drop a mention
in here so that when you hear some best stuffs
coming up next week, you well, if you're not hearing
this message, the first thing you're gonna say.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Is is he going again? How many vacations does this
guy get?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Well? Two things about that. Number One, it's just the
way the schedule worked out this year. You know, we
had that listener trip on kt R H Degrease that
was nine days, and then after I booked that trip,
my sister calls me up and says, you know, Jilly
(08:45):
wants to know if you'll officiate her wedding. And what
I'm gonna say no to my sister And I got
to go to the wedding right and the weddings in
San Diego. So there's a couple of days from a
little over a week ago that I took off, and
then we always take this one week to go to
the Outers in North Carolina with a bunch of our
Virginia friends, and that that's been on the calendar. Well,
(09:05):
that's that's on the calendar every year. So I end
up with basically three vacation dates within a month, which
which normally I would never do. I'd spread them out
and and and for a lot of reasons, not the
least of which is is that you know, you're going
some people who like listening to our show, and I
hope there's a lot of you out there are going.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Where the hell is he?
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Now?
Speaker 2 (09:27):
I mean, where'd he go? But there's no more vacation scheduled.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
I think I'm off for Labor Day and maybe Friday,
going into the Labory weekend, and then that's it until Thanksgiving.
So I will be around throughout the month of August, September, October,
most of November. So yeah, I'm not I'm not going anywhere.
I just it just it's just and I didn't go anywhere,
you know, at the beginning of the year, so I
did just the way the schedule worked out. Sorry about that.
(09:53):
Uh there, I feel better. At least at least I
told you what's going on with that. Now here's something
that's making me really really happy today, because if you
listen to the show on the regular basis, you've heard
me rail against NPR and PBS before, not as organizations.
I don't care that NPR exists National Public Radio. I
don't care that PBS exists the public broadcast system. That's fine.
(10:16):
I don't care that they are extremely liberal and biased.
After all, I am extremely conservative and biased, and that's fine.
I don't care anymore that quote unquote news anchors or
news organizations are slanting the product that they serve up
(10:36):
to the American people. I do longer care about that.
We're all big boys and big girls. We can determine
what we want to watch, what we want to listen to.
We can deal with the politics of whatever it is
that we're listening to. The only thing I resent is
a news organization that tries to tell me, first of
all that they aren't biased because that's BS, and second
(10:59):
of all, expects me to help pay for it with
my taxpayer dollars also BS, which is the problem I've
always had with NPR and PBS. Now, when they first
started off late sixties, early seventies, I understand why it
happened at the time. At the time, there was not
(11:20):
a lot of good educational programming, especially for kids, so
the justification to use taxpayer dollars to provide this programming
was so that it would exist. But that is no
longer the case and hasn't been the case. For a
long long time, NPR and PBS run on business models.
(11:41):
They go back to the nineteen seventies and they've never changed.
You know, they have corporate sponsors. They don't run commercials,
They just have brief messages from corporate sponsors. They and
they get and they get fees from the television and
radio stations that carry their programming, and they get you know,
(12:02):
a billion plus from the federal government. That's the part
that I resent, that's the part that needed to go away.
And thanks to the House passing in the wee hours
passing the nine point five billion in cuts from the Senate,
they have lost that funding. The federal funding has gone away.
(12:23):
Thank god, it has finally gone away. Now you're going
to hear a lot of doom and gloom. And maybe
some of you like PBS, maybe some of you listen
to NPR every now and again. I don't believe for
minutes they're going to disappear. What they're going to have
to do is they're going to have to make choices.
What's really important. Who are the people we need to keep,
(12:45):
who are the people that are expendable? You know, what
are some of the programming choices that we are making.
Are these the right choices to make for us to
be a commercial entity, because that's what they're going to
have to be. They can exist, but they're going to
need to exist in their own world. Would it kill
(13:07):
anybody if you really like NPR or PBS, would it
kill you to listen to a few commercials. Are listening
to commercials any worse than listening to pleas for donations?
Because when they're doing their Pledge Week stuff, that's all
they do is beg for money. I would much rather
listen to a few commercials from sponsors who believe in
(13:29):
the product than to listen to them begging for money.
To me, that's the only thing that's really going to change.
Here's the other part that I really resented about NPR
and PBS, that they somehow either don't think they're biased
or want to try to convince us, because after all,
we're stupid, convince us that they're not biased. So Senator
(13:50):
John Kennedy, before they were taking a vote on all this,
who was making the case of the bias on NPR,
in particular by showing some of the headlines of stories
that they were carrying. Here is Senator Kennedy.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Was he on a public broadcasting becoming Papa Father's key
the gender justice. Another headline from PBS, the hidden racism
of young white Americas. Here's another headline from NPR, how
racism became a marketing tool for country music. Biden Trumpet's
(14:27):
economic gains but struggles to get critic I could do
this all night.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
Remember, this is an institution that deliberately chose not to
cover the Hunter Biden laptop story because in their own words,
it was nothing but a distraction. What did they do instead?
They ran articles about gender queer dinosaurs, about how civility
is racist, and about fat phobia. I don't think that
that serves the public interest for the American people.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
I don't think that.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
These institutions should exist to begin with at all, and
I certainly don't think that hard working tax dollar should
go to pay for them. So we're finally going to
defund them tonight and get this done. We're going to
get a bill to the President's desk shortly. This is
something that Republicans have been talking about for decades now,
defunding left wing media institutions. As I've said many times,
(15:17):
I don't think that any media should be funded if
Fox News, for Fox Business or any other conservative outlet
came to me and they asked me for tax dollars,
I would tell them no.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
And I'm certainly going to say no to.
Speaker 6 (15:29):
Left wing propaganda state sponsored media outlets.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
That is Brandon gil By the way, Texas Representative Brandon
gill And as long as we're hearing from Texas representatives
on the topic of NPR and BBS, here is Chip Royce.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
This is stuff we've been working on for years. My
friend E lu Craine offered an amendment two years ago
in Appropriations to remove all of that. Interestingly, we only
had about one hundred and four Republicans vote for it
and had one hundred and I think twelve or fourteen
vote against it. Now things have changed, President Trump's leadership
efforts and the Freedom Caucus and Conservatives. Now people I
(16:02):
think understand this waste needs to go away, the efforts
that Elon and Doge did to highlight it. So I'm
glad to see the Senate do it. We're removing that funding,
the funding for NPR and PBS. I mean, listen, Harris,
I was just in Texas with the floods that were
ravaging the communities that I represent, And they were more
interested in trying to get people to call their house
(16:23):
members and senators to save NPR and PBS than they
were on reporting on what was going on with the
floods in Central Texas. So we know they're biased. They
don't need to be funded by taxpayer dollars. Now we
can save money and actually do what the American people sent.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Us here to do. Well.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
And you know, here's the thing. I hate to be
little nine point five billion, and I won't. I'm glad
we're saving the money, But that is you know, I
think I described it yesterday. That's that's an ice cube
on an iceberg, not just the tip of the iceberg.
It's an ice cube on the iceberg. There are trillions
of dollars that are wasted by the government. We need
(17:02):
hundreds of billions of dollars. So nine billion, okay, it's
a start. It's something. I like the fact that they
they've done something. But that's that's that's just a tip
of the iceberg ice cube. Let's let's work on this
harder and more, because a whole lot more cuts need
to be made. All Right, We're gonna take quick little
break back with more in a moment Jimmy Baird Show
(17:24):
here on AM nine fifty k PRC. All right, a
couple of things to wrap up the show today and
(17:46):
then again on vacation next week. I promise no mortifications
at least until Labor Day weekend. And uh oh, yes,
I want to bring this one up because I found
this fascinating. I'm surprised that Fox Business got their hands
on this guy. You know, we talk all the time
about paid protests that a lot of the protesting you
see are protesters that are bought and paid for. They're
(18:09):
not people who really care that much about the cause.
They care about getting paid to show up. So much
so that there is a group out there called Crowds
on Demand. I guess it's been around for the better
part of a decade. They keep a pretty low profile,
but they got in the news because their CEO and founder,
(18:31):
Adam Swart, turned down twenty million dollars to organize a
Trump protest. Not because he's a Trump fan, not because
he's a conservative. When you listen to this, you clearly
can tell he isn't. But his only criteria evidently he's
a mercenary. He's a guy for hire. You you hire me,
(18:54):
and I will get a big crowd to show up
and protest against whatever it is that you want me
to protest against or for, or whatever it is you
want me to protest for, and I'll bring a crowd there.
And that's what he does. He gets paid millions of
dollars and he uses some of that money to pay
people to show up and to protest, and I'm sure
(19:15):
for signs and all the other things that go into
a protest. It is a professional organization. Crowds on Demand
is the name of the organization. So I saw him
on Fox Business and he's getting asked, so, why did
you turn down the twenty million? And more importantly, who
was going to give you the twenty million dollars in
order to do this? Here's a little bit of that conversation.
Speaker 8 (19:36):
First of all, the reason why I turned it down
is the same reason that Tom Hanks or George Clooney
would turn down appearing in a Marvel superhero movie.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
It's just they don't want to attach.
Speaker 8 (19:47):
Their name to something that ultimately is not going to
be successful. Unfortunately, Crowds on Demand we've been around for
thirteen years now with the largest protest company in the country.
We did not see this particular day of action was
going to be impactful for the cause that they seek
to espouse, so we unfortunately had to decline.
Speaker 9 (20:09):
So what proof that they paid tried to pay you?
Who exactly is paying you to recruit protesters and against Trump?
Speaker 2 (20:17):
What are their names? Well?
Speaker 8 (20:19):
Sure, I mean, first of all, I wouldn't be in
business for thirteen years if I told people everyone who
came to us with a cause that I disagreed with
or that I didn't think.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Was going to be effective.
Speaker 8 (20:30):
So obviously I would have to politely decline to reveal
the information about who is contacting.
Speaker 9 (20:37):
Is it a far left billionaire? Is it a far
left billionaire or nonprofit? Are they recognizable Democrat names?
Speaker 8 (20:43):
Well? Sure, I mean I think it would be someone
that people would people would recognize as being well healed
interests I would I would leave it at that.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Is it George Sorows's group?
Speaker 8 (20:56):
Well, look, here's my sense on Sorows. A lot of
people are working for Soros who don't even know they're
working for Soros because same with a lot of other billionaires.
Because what they have is what's called a Russian doll
influence network. So that's little dolls that fold into bigger dolls.
So they you could be working with a lot of billionaires,
(21:17):
either conservative or liberal without even knowing it, because they
have a network of advocacy groups foundations see fours, and
so you're with.
Speaker 9 (21:26):
Them, you've worked with you've worked with these groups in
the past. Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 8 (21:30):
Well, of course, I mean I don't want to name
specific names, but of course we work on a number
of causes, both liberal and conservative, but always on the
side of common sense.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
No, I don't believe that though, sorry you lost me there.
We always work on the side of common sense. You
work on the side of the highest bidder. I understand
your policy about it needed to be something that's going
to be successful, because if it's not going to be successful,
you don't want your name attached to it, right, because
(22:05):
that you don't get more business by being unsuccessful. You
have to pick and choose the things you're going to
do based on the ability for them to be successful.
And sure, George Soros is among those that's doing that,
and there are probably some other names in there as well.
There's plenty of multi millionaire billionaire people out there who
(22:26):
have causes. But again, the bottom line here is these protests.
For the most part, these protesters, they're bought and paid for.
It's not that they're big believers in the cause, they're
doing a job. And what's really behind it all are
a few puppet masters who are trying to make the
rest of the world think that this is something that
(22:48):
everybody believes in when clearly they don't. All Right, one
more little story here before we call it a day,
and that's because they made such a big deal. They're
still making a big deal of this.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Today.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
President Trump hasle and ankles, and they had He had
some makeup on his hand covering up a bruise, and
in the mainstream media is having a field day with this.
Oh my god, is if something is horribly wrong with
the president? He has chronic venus insufficiency, So what so
(23:19):
do I? It just means that his leg veins are
not as efficient as they should be. Blood has a
hard time moving back up to the heart because the
valves are working the way they're supposed to, and he's
got You can get swollen legs, you can get swollen ankles.
The normal treatment for something like that work impression socks,
(23:39):
put your feet up. This is you know, unless it's
from deep vein thrombosis or something like that, it's just
not serious. Here's Caroline Levitt talking about it.
Speaker 10 (23:49):
Any in the media have been speculating about bruising on
the President's hand and also swelling in the President's legs.
So in the effort of transparency, the President wanted me
to share a note from his physician with all of
you today. In recent weeks, President Trump noted mild swelling
in his lower legs. In keeping with routine medical care
(24:09):
and out of an abundance of caution, this concern was
thoroughly evaluated by the White House Medical Unit. The President
underwent a comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies. Bilateral lower
extremity venus Doppler ultrasounds were performed and revealed chronic venous
(24:29):
insufficiency a B nine in common condition, particularly in individuals
over the age of seventy. Importantly, there was no evidence
of deep vein frombosis or arterial disease. Laboratory testing included
a complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel, coagulation profile, d
(24:51):
dimer B type natriotic peptide, and cardiac biomarkers. All results
were within normal limits. An echocardia was also performed in
confirmed normal cardiac structure and function. No signs of heart failure,
renal impairment, or systemic illness were identified. Additionally, recent photos
(25:12):
of the President have shown minor bruising on the back
of his hand. This is consistent with minor soft tissue
irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin, which
is taken as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen.
This is a well known and benign side effect of
aspirin therapy, and the President remains in excellent health.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
There you go, see that, Now that really is transparent.
The same people who were covering up for Biden and
wouldn't talk about his mental acuity or lack thereof, are
making a big deal out of something that is benign
and fairly common, especially in older people. Go figure, Hey,
listen on vacation next week. I'll see you a week
(25:54):
for Monday. Have a great weekend. I'll talk to you soon.
