Speaker 1 (00:00):
I just continued, dangerous thing to do on Live right now.
It makes people nervous. Uh makes people nervous. Back in April,

(00:22):
we talked about Richardson Mortuary in Southwest Houston where a
concerned brother and sister This is going to be clip
number nine from Chatsprep Jimbo showed up to the mortuary
after having an issue with the handling of their mother's body.
They posted videos to social media of the horrific conditions

(00:45):
of the bodies, with some in advanced states of decomposition,
which led to a confrontation with a staffer resulting in
the brother getting stabbed. Well. There is an up. Two
owners of the funeral home have now been criminally charged,
each facing abuse of a corpse charges. Story from KHOU.

(01:11):
This was back in April.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
A disturbing discovery.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
It's hurtful.

Speaker 4 (01:17):
I knew something wasn't right.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Houston Police investigating two scenes at the South Houston mortuary.

Speaker 5 (01:22):
There were bodies laid out on the ground and on
my cardboard.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Bodies of people who were already deceased to be cremated
or prepared for funerals.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
I feel hard because they have not one, but they
have two of our family. Members, my mother and my uncle.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Tamara Magruder Crooks had a bad feeling the head of
her mother's funeral set for tomorrow, she says, after repeated
issues with the owner of Richardson Mortuary, she and her
brother went to see for themselves. That's when they discovered
their mother's body, along with others in unacceptable conditions.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
And I said, I'm not gonna leave without my mom's body,
and he said, you're gonna leave.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
She described conditions as deplore, recording this video and posting
it to social media.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
They on stretchers, they have nets, they're in boxes. It
smells horrible. They inside of caskets. They uncovered their naked.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
A confrontation broke out with a mortuary worker. Tamara's brother
was stabbed and rushed to the hospital. Video showing the
bodies quickly spread online, and soon more families began showing
up in shock. I saw on video that there was
a lot of bodies over here. Dimitri Sylvester says her
brother passed away in February and she's been waiting on

(02:37):
his ashes since. No respect for the dead and no
respect for the family. She's not the only one. Marita
Brown says, she recognized her late grandmother in the video
circulating on social media.

Speaker 4 (02:47):
It's a shock because he took care of my grandfather
in twenty thirteen and he did an awesome job. But
to fill us now.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
The bodies were moved to other locations due to the
conditions at the request of the mortuary owner, according to
the Texas f the Gneral Service Commission. The agency says
the building suffered damages from Hurricane Barrel, this leaving grieving
families to relive their loss all over again.

Speaker 4 (03:09):
Betray lie to scammed, angry, upset heart.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Hbd Tello is a worker here who was accused of
the stabbing, claims self defense and that the owner is
at the hospital dealing with medical issues. No charges at
this time now. The victim of the stabbing I heard
from his sister not that long ago, and he has
been in surgery for hours now. As for the families,
they are now left trying to figure out what to

(03:36):
do next.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
The largest privately owned lake in Texas and one of
the largest in the country, is on the market. It's
only one hundred and thirty one point one million dollars.
Lake Monticello, which is about two hours east of Dallas,
features seventeen miles of shoreline. According to market reports, is

(04:00):
on the market for five hundred fourteen days. This is
what is included in the property. Jimbo five seven hundred
plus acres spanning Titus and Franklin Counties, two thousand and
one acre Lake Monticello, plus a sixty six acre trophy
Bass Lake, eighteen additional lakes ranging from one to forty

(04:25):
three acres, totaling two hundred twenty two surface water acres
one point two four miles of frontage on Lake Bob Sandlin,
making it the only property in Texas with access to
both legs. Dramatic topography, reclaimed lignite mining land pastures, and

(04:47):
hands selected timber corridors. Originally constructed in nineteen seventy one
as a cooling reservoir for the Monticello Power Plant, Lake
Monticello was once a popular fish destination, renowned for its
warm water bass fishery. With the plant now demolished and
public access closed since twenty nineteen, the lake is entirely private.

(05:13):
The property features nearly thirty six square miles of watershed.
You know that's a lot of money, to be sure.
One hundred and thirty one million dollars. But if somebody
had an interest in making a sort of whispering pines

(05:35):
of fishing, or a great hunting lodge, or or a
resort lodge for corporate events or a membership club destination's
that's not an outlandish amount of money to spend for

(05:57):
what it sounds like you're getting. I don't know, you
know you people will spend ten to twenty million dollars
on land with a little house on it to start
a hunting lodge or a men's retreat or a corporate retreat,
and you have nothing of what this has to offer.

(06:17):
I should have told you before I started. I have
the listing. I'm the broker for the property. I'm just kidding,
but if I was, you know what that properly would
be sitting on the on the the market for more
than five hundred and fourteen days every day. Hey Michael,
we get any interest? No, But I'm out here checking
everything out, make sure it looks good, you know, because

(06:41):
I want to make sure when people show up that it,
you know, we put it. So I'm checking out the
water and I'm I'm on the flour by four. I've
been riding the property and really just kind of trying
to experience what the buyer is going to experience so
that I can sell it properly. That'd be the And
to get that listing, We'll call Rick dot see if

(07:02):
we can get him that listing, and then then they
don't have to do any work. Let's see, three percent
is thirty, so thirty nine million dollars of a commissionary.
It's not bad. If you got three percent from Morning Suits,
that's all right, A thirty nine hundred. I'm an idiot.
Art is such a funny thing, especially that which is

(07:25):
commercially successful. But if Stevie Nicks we're in a high
school musical today, I dare say she would not be
cast as the lead. She does not have what vocal
coaches or band leaders would say is a beautiful voice,

(07:50):
and rarely does someone who does become terribly commercially viable.
There are people with incredibly pure voices who are singing
at the church on Sunday and you think, wow, that
person could be famous, But it's not how it works.
That's true of men and women, and that's true in

(08:11):
a lot of the arts. Actually, if you almost never
see someone who studies literature become a writer. Isn't that interesting.
I've also been told by individuals who went on to

(08:31):
earn their doctor of Divinities that the last place you
go if you're on a spiritual journey is to a
university to study for a degree in divinity, because it
is quite the opposite. I've said before how much I
hate the broads on the View and the Hin Party

(08:53):
that it is just several stupid women sitting around being stupid,
embarrassing women. Women should be embarrassed those of those women.
But sometimes they say things that are so idiotic that
it breaks out of their usual standard for idiocy. It

(09:15):
actually that's what the View has become. The View is
one of those things like Rachel Maddow or Joy Reid
used to be. It's one of those things that I
don't think anybody actually watches it. They just say really
stupid stuff and then push the button and it gets
repeated later because they can't get people to watch for

(09:38):
the quality of the content, so they get people to
talk about them for the idiocy of their statements. Woopi
Goldberg and her group of hens. We're talking about how
Ice will be invading the Super Bowl to round up
anyone with a brown face, black face, any face but white.

(10:00):
So Woopy says, everybody, get your makeup creams and paint
your faces brown so they can't tell who to round up. Well,
when there's a chance to apply makeup. You know, our
good friend Timmy Waltz, who could have been your vice president,
got excited and he just had to comment on his
weekly podcast.

Speaker 5 (10:22):
Oh Timmy Bell love my Minnesota Minions. E'sy boy, Timmy
Walls with a reminder, you're listening to the number one
podcast in Traverse County between midnight and three am. And dude,
do we have a big announcement tonight. We've been picked up.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
By our first ever affiliate.

Speaker 5 (10:44):
Who's got the slacker, who's got the plan?

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Yesimmy Walls, he's the man, any man.

Speaker 5 (10:50):
He did not expect this.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
Welcome to New Shoreham Road Island.

Speaker 5 (10:57):
Now you might be the tiniest little tiny point the
way upper East Coast, but a big.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
Was applause to those four families.

Speaker 5 (11:07):
That could be listening at this very moment a day. Okay,
we've got a big topic today that involves my girls
from the view that are liked by just a few.
I know, I know, Joy and my girl whoopee are
in the news.

Speaker 6 (11:21):
Because they said that satan spawn of a woman Christine
Oham would be going to the super Bowl with her
mean ugly bullies from Ice and rounding up people to deport.

Speaker 5 (11:33):
All because of my god, bad Bunny here. This is
what they say it.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
She's threatening to go to the super Bowl when bad
Bunny is there and round up all these people that
are illegal immigrants. Do you think that she would go
if it was goth Brooks, Randon low Places or Eminem.

Speaker 5 (11:51):
Wait a minstrel? Minute?

Speaker 6 (11:53):
Has he even white?

Speaker 3 (11:54):
Or Taylor Swift?

Speaker 1 (11:55):
Are any of the white men to understand what you're saying?

Speaker 3 (11:57):
Because she's going to go to the super Bowl and
round up how's she gonna know who's who? Because the
Supreme Court has given permission to question anyone who has
a Spanish Alexandro has a dark skin. Yeah, so his wife.

Speaker 6 (12:12):
Here's a swiper ass.

Speaker 5 (12:14):
Whoopy, everybody, get a little cola butter set.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
In the sun.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
That's the first thing. And then, and this is the
only time you can probably ever do this, give yourself
a Latin accent, you know, Whoopy, that's such a good idea,
and see.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
If she can tell Who's who?

Speaker 5 (12:34):
Now you see that's a big moviieban my girl whoopy.
I love this idea. Now I am sitting in front
of my wife's vanity, which he spends so much time
away from me but seems to love it. And I
am picking through some of her facial creams that I
can wear to the Super Bowl. Let's see here, we've
got nutter butter. Oh, and then there's tooty fruity. Look

(12:57):
at this I could layer on on the mounds abrown.
Oh and what is this here? Shimmy shimmy, coco nuts. Mmm,
smells so nice to avoid the eyes. Oh, I'm in heaven. Oh,
we're out of time again. Join us next week with
our special guest, Ted Dancing and his thoughts on making

(13:20):
whoopy with Whoopy.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
The Left will not be happy until they have killed us,
and I believe that there has been a massive change
in the mindset of the left since Trump. Trump changed
the rules because before Trump, they basically had a captive enemy.

(13:51):
Republicans would occasionally win an election, but Democrats would still
win the battle for policy and culture because the Republicans
mostly just wanted the approval of Democrats, so they would
do that, which the Democrats were already doing, so they
could show Siah, I'm not crazy, I'm not radical. Love me,
Please love me, won't you? And they weren't loved. They

(14:14):
were they were spurned I think McCain, Romney, Bush until
Trump came along. And Trump was everything the Democrats had
been saying the Republicans were. He was a guy that
was going to actually bring change, and that frightened the Democrats.

(14:35):
So they had to build credibility by saying, well, we
don't hate all Republicans, just the one guy. We want
to kill Donald Trump. So that was when they began
embracing the Bush, McCain, Cheney, Romney coalition. Now now they
are arming themselves and further to that point, you see

(14:58):
what happened to Charlie Kirk, and I think there will
be more of that. I do believe that in the
past twenty four hours.

Speaker 4 (15:08):
As of.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
This was well, I'm sorry this would have been that.
This was posted by the White House at one ten
pm yesterday, but it said in the past twenty four hours,
as the hostages were freed in a peace deal that
he brokeered, President Trump flew to Israel, spoke to the press,

(15:35):
met with Israeli leaders, spoke to the press, met with
families of the hostages, delivered an hour long speech to
the Kanesse, did an interview, flew to Egypt, met with
the Egyptian president, spoke to the press, took photos, and
chatted individually with dozens of world leaders, signed the historic

(16:00):
Gaza Peace Deal, delivered another speech, met privately with world leaders,
and flew back to the US, where today Charlie Kirk's
thirty second birthday, President Trump will honor him as he
had said he was going to do, with the Presidential

(16:21):
Medal of Freedom, of course, posthumously. It is the nation's
highest civilian honor. Ceremony comes after the President has returned
after all of these hours of flying. I am twenty
five years younger than President Trump. I think I keep

(16:43):
a pretty active life and work pretty long hours. Just
reading what this man does makes me tired. I don't
even nap, and I want to nap. The House and
Senate previously approved resolution to mark today as a National
day of remembrance. President Trump said last week it's the

(17:05):
greatest honor. And Erica, his beautiful wife, is going to
be here, and a lot of people are going to
be here. Andrew Colvett, the executive producer of The Charlie
Kirk Show, confirmed the President's plan to return for the
Kirk ceremony on X, writing, President Trump is moving heaven
and Earth to get back to DC to award Charlie
the Presidential Medal Freedom on what would be his thirty

(17:29):
second birthday. Thank you, mister President. We see what it
took to pull this off, and we're incredibly grateful. You
know how many of us if our race was run
at thirty two and we laid down to rest for

(17:51):
the last time, could say I'm proud of the work
I did. I made the most of my opportunities. Because
that's not what we do, is it. We don't live
every moment with intensity, with purpose. We don't do things

(18:15):
that are intentional, meaningful. What do we do We think
about the future. We think about one day. Michael t
was in from college. He came in Friday night so
that we could visit before Crockett and I left Saturday
for Lubbock. And we were just talking and he was

(18:37):
talking about how how quickly time gets away, and you
know kind of thing a dad would say. He was
like Dad, I was in sixth grade yesterday. I mean
just yesterday. I was in sixth grade. I was starting
school not very long ago. And actually it's not that
long ago. The grants can't compared to the link of

(18:58):
my life. It's thirteen years ago he started kindergarten. But
we were talking about making the most of every movement
because he was saying, you know, I'm already almost halfway
through my second year, which then I would be fifty

(19:20):
percent halfway through with college. And you know, I know
that being a college senior is going to be a
lot like being a high school senior. You already have
your foot out the door looking at the next thing,
so you don't really when people talk about going to
college for four years. The first year you're figuring it out.
The last year you're headed out, so the number of

(19:40):
years in which you're actually just there. The same is
true of high school. You know that George Bernard Shaw
said youth is wasted on the young. But the interesting
thing about that is when it comes to high school,
you think that your senior year is going to be
this great year. That's when everything's going to be perfect.

(20:02):
I'm not happy as a sophomore, but when I'm a senior.
Clear all these people out that are the upper classroom.
I'll be the king of the school and everything will
be great and my life will be wonderful. But when
you're actually a senior, you're so focused on what you're
going to do after you leave that you don't really
soak it up the way you perhaps did when you were, say,

(20:25):
a freshman. And I think so much of life is
that way. So much of life is that way. I
have noticed that there are people if you're having a
good time, rather than live richly in that moment, present
in that moment. So when are we going to do

(20:46):
this again? We may never pass this way again. Let's
make this one special. This may be the last time
we ever see each other by choice or who knows
what the reason is. But let's enjoy this moment thoroughly
and not be so focused at looking at our calendars

(21:08):
as to whens the next time. We can do this,
because I think that that distracts us from the presence
of mind to really thoroughly enjoy things for what they are.
It's the difference between doom scrolling while you eat and

(21:31):
putting everything away and focusing on your plate and every
bite that you're eating. You know, all these diet programs
and the various things they tell you to do, but
one of the things that's consistent is chew your food.
And it's interesting, isn't it. It's kind of sad, really,

(21:54):
how often we get in the trap of just shoveling
food down our throats because we're preoccupied with some other thing.
And you know, we don't do that with our automobile.
We don't just we don't just spew gas everywhere, maybe
because it has that funny smell to it. But the

(22:14):
idea that you would not be purposeful in what you
eat and how you eat and the fuel for your
body that is your your life source. And yet it's
it's what we do, and we have we have created
all of these awesome gadgets and all of these awesome
distractions that have in many ways taken over our lives.

(22:37):
I was reading an article that Rolling Stone had done
on David Foster Wallace, and he did not he wasn't
even talking about the cell phone and the internet. Yet
he was talking about television being the ruin of us.
And he was a self confessed television addict and the

(22:58):
distraction of television and the interview was written in ninety five.
He would take his own life in two thousand and eight,
and he would be very public about his struggles in
between that time. But it's it's just amazing how we
have allowed ourselves to remove ourselves from the things in

(23:24):
life that are pure and real and natural and lasting
and in exchange for plastic and glass and screens. My
friends at main Street Wealth Management Group, which is part
of Stefel, sent me an email came in yesterday. I

(23:47):
had printed it. I meant to talk about it yesterday,
but I didn't get to. And they are always sending
me updates on the market, interesting trends and the like.
And they said, I didn't think that anyone. I don't
think anyone had utilities on their Bingo card as leading

(24:11):
all sectors of the S and P five hundred year
to date. The interesting thing about that, buddy mine named
Ike Claypool is a day trader and follows financial news
all day long as a direct feed to CNBC at
his house. And you know, everything is down to the millosecond,

(24:32):
that whole trading business. I think nine people have no
idea what's going on there, and there's no reason for
anyone to know. But to give an example, I'm gonna
make a story up. If CNBC breaks the story that

(24:52):
Tim Cook is entering talks with I'll say Horizon. I'm
just making this up. This is not true that Tim
Cook is entering talks with Verizons. The NBC has the exclusive.
Here's the story, and that happens at ten o'clock Central.
If that is an indicator that is likely to spike

(25:16):
the stock price of Verizon, that purchase has to be
made before the stock price, before the stock goes up,
because it's a pure supply and demand. It's the purest
open market in that sense. So the minute, let's say
Verizon stock was at twenty dollars, the minute that's announced
and people begin the buy, the big buys, then it's

(25:40):
going to go from twenty to some number above that. Well,
if it goes from twenty to thirty to forty to
fifty to one hundred, let's say by the end of
the day, and again these are all hypothetical. If that happens,
if you bought in at twenty the second you got
the information, but before for the market could act on it,

(26:02):
then you had a potential eighty dollars upside if you
hold on that long. But if you don't get the
information for a few minutes, or if it takes you
a few seconds for that matter, to make your trade,
you may now only be able to buy at forty
and not then sell for the same profit. So there

(26:26):
is this desperate race, talk about an arms race of
you know, you went from second to micro second to
a pico second, and Ike described a pico second to
me as what a second is to a minute, a

(26:47):
piico second is to thirty six thousand years. I think
that's right. We're now splitting hairs. So fine, you can
imagine things getting big because our brain we can wrap
our brains around that, right, that is as big as
one automobile. Well, if you stack another one on there,
it's as big as two automobiles. If we go to

(27:09):
the car dealership, we can stack it up eighty cars high.
So we can we can fathom the concept of getting
bigger and bigger and bigger to fill space. But it's
so hard to imagine getting smaller and smaller and smaller
and less time. You're approaching the point at which you

(27:31):
are doing something without time elapsing, which is a very
profound notion. It is beyond my mental capacity to grasp
how they can get so fast. And this this, this
trading is such a big is such big business. Now

(27:54):
that you've got these big trading officers, they've got a
big pipe coming in for the technology for the speed
of being able to transmit information and make trades so
that in Houston, Texas, you can make a trade as
fast as they can in New York or Chicago. Otherwise

(28:15):
you lose out anyway. So my friends at Stefel, the
money managers, sent me this yesterday and he said, I
don't think anybody had utilities on their Bengo card as
leading all sectors of the S and P five hundred
year to date. The reason you buy utilities, you know,

(28:35):
in your basket of investments, utilities are over there as
a hedge. There's no risk in utilities, but there's no
real upside. It's just as steady as she goes. You
know what five percent? I don't know what normal utility
return would be, but it's not much, nor should it

(28:58):
be much. How would utilities perform extraordinarily well? So utilities
are the highest performing sector for this year, with a
twenty one point seven percent year to date return followed
by communication services. Then tech utilities are above tech at

(29:23):
twenty percent, industries at fifteen percent, S and P five
hundred at twelve point eight percent, financials at nine point
two percent. This is printed too small materials at six
point one percent, healthcare at four point seven, staples at

(29:44):
three point eight, real estate at two point five, energy
at two point four, and discretionary at one.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
Well.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
The reason utilities are up to almost twenty two is
because the draw on electricity that all of the data
mining that is going on is consuming is so much
greater than the utility draw we required before we are

(30:19):
entering into a new dimension. What you keep your setting
on at your home is becoming inconsequential compared to relative
to the size of data mining operations and the juice

(30:40):
they are requiring. If evs had taken off, and they didn't,
but if they had taken off and replaced gas powered vehicles,
we wouldn't have been able to handle it, and it
would have been impossible that the grid could could have
withstood that. But there are a couple of things at
play here that make the big difference. If we'd gone

(31:03):
heavier into solar and wind, we wouldn't be able to
keep up with this, and data mining is everything now.
You've got entire practically cities being built of warehouses that
are data mining. It's all data now, and we either
win that battle or we lose it, and it changes

(31:24):
our standing in the world. And President Trump fortunately understands that.
But this is just one little indicator of who would
have guessed utilities would benefit so much by the change.
And AI is going to require such computing capacity. We

(31:45):
don't have the utility capability now to sustain it. And
by the way, well another dec
