aging process maybe even reverse the aging process on the

Speaker 4 (36:01):
The ten, YOU know i don't know if you could
actually reverse, age yourself but if you could kind of
go back in time to a certain point in your
life where you like the way, you looked you liked your,
life circumstances, you know everything. Was great what would? YOU

(36:21):
pick I think i would pick like, forty five forty
six somewhere. In there, YOU know i WAS when i
was forty five or, FORTY six i LOOKED like i
was about, thirty FIVE so i. Looked young, my job circumstances,
were good and, YOU know i had a, wonderful wife

(36:42):
and everything, was great, nice house everything you could. Possibly,
want plus, of course that the healthy you always have
when you're when you're a little. Bit younger which is
not to say there's anything wrong with THE life i.
Have now i'm just SAYING if i had, to PICK
if i had to pick a time to go, back
to that would be THE time i would. Pick, now
well whether or not you could actually do something about

(37:04):
that remains to. Be seen there's a guy who's spoken
on this topic quite, a bit and he's a biohacker.
By name his Name Is. Brian johnson he has spent
a couple of million dollars reverse, aging himself and evidently
he thinks it's working. For him here's a little bit of.
That conversation this moment is.

Speaker 33 (37:22):
Really exciting it's if you think, of health then. Reverse
aging it's kind of like the beginning of computers Or
the INTERNET. Or ai it's the next big thing in,
the world and a lot of people are just not
aware that it's happening and, it's here and, SO yes
i can share a few THINGS that i do that
everybody can do for free that make these things practical.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
And, tangible okay let's get.

Speaker 34 (37:40):
Into that before, we do explain to people what you've
been personally doing and how much you spend a year
on reverse, aging yourself and maybe tell everybody what your.

Speaker 1 (37:48):
Age is you're.

Speaker 33 (37:49):
Really age i'm forty eight years, Old, chronologically However biologically
i'm a few hundred. Different ages so five YEARS ago
i asked, this question are we on the cusp of
being able to radically extend human lifespan? Healthy lifespan AND
so i hired a team of, thirty DOCTORS and i
measured the biological age of every organ in, my body,
my liver, my pancreased, my brain, my lungs all my.

(38:11):
Biological processes and with, that baseline we then looked at
the scientific evidence, and, said now how do you slow
down aging and? Reverse it and so over the past,
Five years i've become the most measured person in, human
History and i've been able to dramatically slow down my speed.
Of aging, FOR example i now over every, TWELVE months
i only age. Six Months so i've slowed down my
speed of aging and made a lot of gains in
reversing aging DAMAGE that i sustained with earlier life habits were.

Speaker 1 (38:34):
Not, great Okay so i've been. Basically endeavoring so.

Speaker 34 (38:38):
You're super rich and you spend millions of dollars, Doing
this but you say you have tips that. Are free
so why don't you tell our audience what we can
do to reverse age in a more.

Speaker 35 (38:45):
Economical fashion.

Speaker 33 (38:48):
You know the funny THING is i have spent millions
of dollars, pursuing this and largely that's been a result
of the. Scientific research and my result is to tell
people to do. Fewer things most things in health the
wellness do. Not work so you want to focus on
things that have the highest level of evidence that you
actually can see data that they have a. Promising outcomes i'll,
tell you with all, my efforts there's ONE marker i

(39:10):
value above all that is lower your resting heart rate.
Before bed and what you will learn is things that
increase your heart rate before bed worse than, your sleep
and things that lower your heart rate before bad improve.
Your sleep and sleep is the number one longevity therapy
in the entire.

Speaker 4 (39:26):
World, sleep huh that might be a problem in. MY
world i have never gotten. Enough sleep so what you're
Saying is i'm chronologically, You know i'm, whatever age but but,

democrats Can't vote, in republican primaries. And Vice versa The

(51:23):
secretary of state Is fighting That secretary of state's office
is agreeing to spend over a million taxpayer dollars to
defend the state's. Open primary, system and then to make it,
even more complicated our attorney general is SIDED with the

Your forecast is at the bottom. Of the hour i'm
seven forty. Ktrh voute here you. Can't vote here six
twenty three is our Time here in. Houston's Morning news
ABRAM Georges WITH Us. Texas gp chairman this is a
very interesting little infight going On between The, secretary Of
State the attorney General And the Republican. Party of texas

(53:38):
and the only one that doesn't seem to be on
the same Page Is the Texas secretary of state who
has an our Next door name abraham OR does the
R stand For Rhino, in republican.

Speaker 27 (53:49):
Well, IN this case i can guarantee, you it Does
because no republican In state of texas wants an open
Primary where the democrats can come and choose. OUR private,
candidates i mean it's, not the election it's naming. Our
primary candidates and why would You want a democrat? To
do that so it's crazy What's Happening with jane NELSON at, the, Sos, office.

Speaker 4 (54:12):
Right well and she's willing to spend one point two
to five million taxpayer dollars in order to be able
to prevent us from going to. A closed primary that
tells me there's. A, commitment there certainly that's our taxpayer
dollars being. Used against.

Speaker 27 (54:26):
Us that's right the state have an attorney He called, him,
attorney General Right and ken, vaxton joined us and that's
who's supposed to be out there protecting. The state's interest
and he looks at it, And, He Goes yeah republican
party have the right to close their primaries because that is,

(54:47):
a constitutional right the right to associate with the people We,
believe or republicans that Is our. First amendment right he
agreed with us after we filed the, lawsuit against us
the STATE. And the SOLS but she's i was told
she's committed to one point two five million dollars of
our dollars to Fight Against the republican party so She

(55:10):
can keep democrats coming into. Into our, primaries not there.

Speaker 4 (55:15):
But OUR primaries so i guess at this point it
will work its way through. The court system any idea
how that process is likely. To, work out.

Speaker 27 (55:24):
Well we're still waiting on a court to get us
a date and have started the hearing and. All that
stuff we don't have an exact, timing on this but
we were hoping to get all of this done before the.
Twenty six Primaries But if jane nelson, keeps fighting us
she has unlimited dollars because it's, our tax dollars and

(55:46):
if she, keeps fighting us it may take us multiple
years to get there because she can continue to take
us to the.

Speaker 4 (55:53):
Next next, Court all right so there's an opportunity or there's,
A chance here i guess is what you're saying that
this would not be resolved before the next primary season
came up for the, twenty six election and therefore we
would end up with an open primary for the, twenty
six election and that as Crowded as the republican field is,
in some areas that could make.

Speaker 1 (56:14):
Things very.

Speaker 27 (56:14):
Interesting that's correct so we, Have you know senate, Rates
going on AG's, rates going on we have we, have,
you know governors so many of our feats are open
or have strong candidates running, against each other and that
will make all the difference, because you know A lot

(56:36):
of democrats are NOT Happy, with maga republicans so they're
going to cross Over to the republican primary and choose
The most moderate republican who will in turn And go
support democrat policies. Once they're elected it could make a
Huge Difference for president trump's agenda in. Twenty twenty six and.

(57:02):
It's a disaster we should have gotten this done than
We Filed that dane nelson had no. Business, opposing, this.

Speaker 4 (57:09):

should i? Turn THEM on, so, I decide well i
might as well get out the Rest of. The christmas
stuff and you know how it goes when you start
opening in a box and that leads to, opening another
box and that leads to opening up. A third box
and you've got all these boxes open and you don't
want to, put anything back so, you, just say well

ONE news Radio seven ktrh seven early Our time Here.

Speaker 4 (01:23:23):
In houston's boy news affordable housing and getting. People to buy,
homes remains a problem just. Like interest rates remain they're not.
Historically we, know that in fact, historically they're pretty average
even a little bit, lower than average historically at Least
during the. Time i've been alive but they are deterrent

(01:23:44):
right now because a lot of us are sitting in
a home with a, MORTGAGE rate of like i, don't
know what's yours mind's like two, point eight six. PERCENT
something like that i know a lot of people with
a mortgage rate in the threes. Or the low fours
they don't want.

Speaker 1 (01:23:58):
To give.

Speaker 4 (01:23:58):
That, up he liked, well maybe not nobody but very
few people Seem to like the trump idea of a
fifty year mortgage because of all the extra money you're
paying interest and you never really have an opportunity. Might
as well rent you're never going to have an opportunity.
To own that home but if you could take, your
mortgage with, you in other words you just buy another

(01:24:21):
house and then you get the same mortgage rate, you
were paying before might that. Make a big difference they
were Talking About This On.

Speaker 44 (01:24:28):
THE big money show i think that the affordability crisis
is not going to be solved. By ONE policy alone
but i do love this idea of being able, To,
take your mortgage like can you imagine you have a two,
or three percent yes or that you haven't, been able
to move and now all of a sudden you can take.
That to another property it. Will open up supply as
you mentioned, THE fifty year mortgage i. DIDN'T like that

(01:24:51):
idea i understand that it was just presented as one,
tool in the toolbox but ultimately you're, paying SO much
interest and i understand that the payments are going to,
be LOWER per month but i just don't think that it. Was,
THE best solution However I do commend president trump and
the administration for trying to. SOLVE the housing issue i

(01:25:11):
do think we need to also eliminate red tape because
so much.

Speaker 41 (01:25:15):
We call, BLUE tape oh.

Speaker 1 (01:25:16):
YEAH i like. That i like, that never red.

Speaker 23 (01:25:19):
Tape it's.

Speaker 41 (01:25:20):
ALWAYS blue you're right i can.

Speaker 16 (01:25:21):
Ask you a question does it give does it give
the portable mortgage or does it give people who have
great mortgagees an unfair advantage in the marketing argument because.

Speaker 1 (01:25:30):
They're going to?

Speaker 36 (01:25:30):
Go, life, ISN'T fair, BRIAN right i know, I will,
believe Me i Know but i'm, just i'm just saying
so you get to walk out with your three percent
mortgage and go.

Speaker 1 (01:25:40):
Bid on other homes.

Speaker 16 (01:25:41):
It still seems like if you didn't get, the three
percent mortgage you're still going to be.

Speaker 1 (01:25:45):
At a bigger?

Speaker 16 (01:25:45):
Disadvance is it more is it still more of a
demand sign Thing than a supply.

Speaker 1 (01:25:50):
I'M just asking.

Speaker 44 (01:25:50):
Why i know that what your argument is is that
prices will continue to go up because now those people
have more power and they're able.

Speaker 38 (01:25:57):
To.

Speaker 1 (01:25:57):
BID up homes yeah, I GET.

Speaker 44 (01:25:58):
That argument but i also get the argument that it's
going to open up properties, where think about it some
people who are empty nesters are living in. A six
bedroom house they don't, Need that much space so it's
going to open up that inventory. For a, GROWING family
and again i don't think one policy is going to be.

Speaker 4 (01:26:15):
THE solution to, all I don't either but. I like
the idea i think you want. TO get things moving
i think that gets things moving seven to ten time for. Traffic,
And weather together lord i'm. Pulling my hair out why's?
That's going to matter it's just. One thing after another
jimmy just. Trying to, Keep up all right. So here's
the Deal.

concernervative attorney where do you, stand.

Speaker 2 (01:32:02):
ON this One Counselor i was wesley, hunt on, this
ONE and look if i Were Going, TO primary john
cornyn i beat him up on. This issue as well
and so Just real QUICK after uvaldi and i think
knee jerk reaction is the right term. That we use
here that bipartisan bill incentivized states to. Enact, red flag

(01:32:24):
laws now red, flag laws sound, good but in reality
what they do Is they deprive Every American of their
second amendment right without any, sort of, due process, and
that in Fact is the most unamerican thing, that you
can do because our country is founded on the principle
that you cannot deprive, somebody, of their life liberty property without.

(01:32:49):
Due process of law and with, these red flag laws
an accusation by somebody who has a vendetta against you
would be good enough to Deprive You of. Your second amendment.

Speaker 4 (01:33:01):
Right and even if, That Worth, the case michelle maples
at the, end of the day how many people have
been saved by these so?

Speaker 1 (01:33:07):
Called? Red? Flag laws anybody anybody.

Speaker 2 (01:33:10):
Don't haven't none that, Have hit my radar none.

Speaker 4 (01:33:13):
That hit mine either so at the, end of the,
day where he goes how do you feel about the?
Rights part of it it just. Damn well, Doesn't.

Speaker 2 (01:33:20):
Work that's correct. It just doesn't work and this. Is
feel good legislation this is something that after such a
disgusting tragedy where children are, murdered in cold blood the politicians, get,
together and think well we. Got to do something we
have to do something to, make themselves feel better as
opposed to actually doing something that would have the lasting

(01:33:40):
effect of preventing. These, sorts of tragedies well let's.

Speaker 4 (01:33:43):
Talk about that aspect, for a second here because it's, one,
thing to say well, we don't want this this, needs
to be repealed we need. To take this away but
the other side is, always going to say well, what
would you do because you already use the term we've,
Got to do something so what in your mind could
we do, that would be effective that wouldn't. Trample on
people's rights armed.

Speaker 2 (01:34:02):
Every school with police. Officers at the. Door it's that,
simple harden our campuses put police officers on every single.
School campus with. Firearms it's that simple.

Speaker 1 (01:34:16):
Can we recruit enough people in order to be able?

Speaker 2 (01:34:17):
TO make that happen i bet you could find some
retired police officers who would. VOLUNTEER to do it i
bet we could find some retired military who would.

Speaker 1 (01:34:25):
Love to do it and.

Speaker 4 (01:34:27):
That idea, has been proposed before and, NOBODY'S really you
know i guess there's maybe a few schools that have
taken up on the offer of wanting to. Do something,
like that but schools being the liberal bastions that, many
of them are they're just as afraid of the idea
of guns and gun rights as the people who. Would
have proposed this where it's like, Long, to begin with, well.

Speaker 2 (01:34:47):
That is true but there are Several school districts in
texas who do allow their TEACHERS to carry and i
think those need to be the school districts that we
look at, and, we can say hey this school district
has had armed teachers, the past ten years and there has.
Not been one incident let's take a look at that
and see if we can repeat this playbook all over
the nation and prevent these. Sort, Of disgusting, Tragedies.

I shudder when i go. To the, grocery store all.
RIGHT it's a supermarket i can hear my wife yelling. At,
the car radio. Okay it's a supermarket they got. More
than just. Food IT'S a supermarket and i walked down
The meat aisle and i've got TO the point WHERE
i don't even i don't even walk. PAST the beef anymore.

(01:43:11):
I just no point i don't need to look At
a big old tomahawk steak and see that it costs
like sixty. Bucks for one STEAK as much as i would,
Like to eat that i'm not. Going to, do it
so relief we're. All looking for relief beef, is in
high demand it. Is in low supply the price has.

(01:43:33):
Gone through the roof here IS the President And. Ceo
of omaha steak he's going to, tell some good right relief.
Is on, the way he said what is.

Speaker 9 (01:43:41):
Your reaction to The president, Encouraging our, chinian beef argentinian beef.

Speaker 1 (01:43:46):
And how are you going to keep costs down.

Speaker 45 (01:43:49):
As, prices, go up look domestically we need to get.
Our arms around it last, time we got together we
talked about how the herd is at, a seventy year
low demand is at, an all time high and the
net result is ices. Are through the roof so there's
this concept in the, industry called heifer attention and it's
a decision that the rancher and the feed lot operator
make to hold back the female animal, to build.

Speaker 1 (01:44:11):
The herd as opposed to. Send it to market now that's.

Speaker 45 (01:44:14):
A double edged sword we've started to see good, signals
that that's happening but that means that the supply is
going to continue to shrink as fewer cattle. Are going
to market so we Are headed, For what i'm calling
maria the ten.

Speaker 1 (01:44:27):
Dollars a pound reality by third, quarter of.

Speaker 45 (01:44:31):
Twenty six families are going to see ten dollars a
pound ground beef.

Speaker 1 (01:44:35):
In the grocery store so we're in for a bit.

Speaker 45 (01:44:38):
OF a haul here i don't believe we'll see price
come down in any meaningful way until sometime.

Speaker 1 (01:44:45):
In, TWENTY twenty seven well.

Speaker 45 (01:44:46):
I do, think that you know foreign supply is, part
of the, Picture but you know argentinian beef only makes
up about two percent of the Total, beef supply in,
america so you know the domestic supply is a super
critical opponent. To keeping Prices Low companies like omaha steaks
are leveraging methods that allow us to take advantage of

(01:45:09):
the market. IN a unique way a lot of people
think the beef, market is. This stable smooth curve the
reality of it is is it looks very much more.

Speaker 1 (01:45:17):
Like a roller, coaster so you know we've got.

Speaker 45 (01:45:20):
These big blast freezers we can take, advantage of the valley,
take a large, position freeze, that product process it and
build inventory and extend.

Speaker 1 (01:45:30):
That, to our.

Speaker 4 (01:45:31):
Customers okay so WHAT he's saying is i think that
they're in good shape because they bought a whole bunch
of beef and, they froze that beef so they're good to,
go for a while and they have the freezing. Technology
make it last, but for everybody. Else not so good,
that's not to, say By The way that omaha steak

(01:45:52):
is going to keep the price down just because they
bought a bunch of beef. When, it, was, cheaper no
no no they'll sell it for whatever the going. Rate
is these days time for traffic and weather together as

Happen i can't what happens the things are Happening right HERE.

Speaker 3 (01:51:07):
On news radio seven ktrh so we already counted.

Speaker 4 (01:51:13):
DOWN to the next shutdown i was going. TO file
That tune away i guess. I'd better keep it handy
there are more than a few people who see the
hand running On the wall that the democrats will do
this Again, at the end of january and the reason
being it has had a very profound effect ON. Economic
growth On The gdp Here Is larry cudlow From Fox Business,

(01:51:35):
along with victor davis hansen Talking about the possibility.

Speaker 47 (01:51:38):
The democrats want to sage They want to sabotage the
trump economy when The midterm elections in the House and
then started. Peaching, trump all over again? Now how sick is,
THAT but you know what i. Happen to agree with
you certainly the left wing of the party would go. There,
IN a nano second.

Speaker 1 (01:51:55):
Oh i think.

Speaker 46 (01:51:56):
It's a certainty, THEY will and you know i, think
the shutdown was important not just, to affect the, elections
recently although it did but we're starting to learn that
maybe they took out a point or a POINT and
a half of, gdp IN the fourth quarter and i
think they'll do it again before the midterms if they
think that along with artificially keeping interest rates high and,

(01:52:20):
The Media talking, about recession, Wall, street collapse terra wars
china all of this negative news along with the high
interest rates and shutting down the, government will hurt the
economy at least they. Think before the mid terms and
that's what the midterms are. GOING to BE decided on
i think i think everybody agrees on the status of
the economy.

Speaker 47 (01:52:41):
That shutdown will stop the four percent growth momentum THAT
was already DEVELOPING in, Q TWO and q three so
q four is going to be a couple of percentage,
points lower and then victor. You recoup it next year But,
If they go back january, january thirtieth or thirty first

(01:53:01):
is the end of the Current resident the new cr
so if they, shut down the government again they, will
stop the economy's momentum or at least slow the, momentum
in the next spring.

Speaker 1 (01:53:15):
WHICH is, a crucial time i mean. What, A strategy
that is yeah i think we have to be.

Speaker 46 (01:53:19):
A little bit less, naive, i think everybody's, saying well
they blew it they didn't. Get anything out of it.
That's not what they think they think they helped win
those elections in those even. Though they were, blue states
but more importantly they think. They slowed down the economy
and now it's a proven formula to repeat when it
really matters. In Twenty and twenty six so i'm afraid they're.

Speaker 4 (01:53:39):
Going to do it again every poll or survey you
look at will tell you that the economy and what
the economy is doing will be the number. One issue
in the, midterms so if they can. They're willing to do.
This make no doubt about they are willing to slow
the economy down with the government shut down in order
to try to prevent the economy and being in a

(01:54:00):
good place when. The, midterm elections come around, yes they
brother you Suffer Then vote for a republican's, it really
is that simple. And unfortunately it's fairly effective so don't
be surprised If at the end of january we're doing this,
stuff all over again. Y'all have a great, day see

(01:54:21):
you tomorrow morning bright. And early at five am hope
To see you at THE saffter at FOUR on am
