@KrisKetzKMBC Any good news today Kris. We need it.

NEW YORK (AP) Stocks sank on Wall Street Thursday after the price of oil spiked to its highest level since the summer of 2024 because of the war with Iran. The S&P 500 fell 0.6%. The Dow briefly dropped more than 1,100 points before finishing with a loss of 784 or 1.6%.

@KrisKetzKMBC @QuintonLucasKC @kmbc You’re on fire today

@QuintonLucasKC reax to Lockton Companies moving hdqs from The Plaza to Leawood “I am only disappointed by the misplaced confidence many of us had in the one-time Missouri-Kansas Border War Truce, which was well in effect when negotiations supporting this move began.” @KMBC

@JacksonCountyMO exec. Phil LeVota: “Kansas is making noise, and depending on which media outlet you listen to, the deal's already done. I've had weekly conversation with Mark Donovan the chiefs. We talked yesterday. We talked today. He has told me there is no done deal.” @KMBC

In my book ‘Create Amazing’ I said Employee Ownership in where ‘Ron Reagan and Bernie Sanders go dating’. And here we go again. Well done by my friends at ESCA and The ESOP Association.

Highlights from Chairman @SenBillCassidy and Ranking Member @SenSanders during today's HELP Committee hearing on ESOPs showcase the true bipartisan support for ESOPs in Congress. @ESOPAssociation

@thegarybrecka Gary, how would rank by importance…..red light, sauna, cold therapy. I have two of the three in my home now and deciding on the 3rd.

Most people quit because they expect results in weeks instead of years. The secret? Stay patient Stack wins daily Keep going even when you don’t feel like it

@PeterDiamandis My 8 grandchildren….and counting.

What person or group that you read or interact with daily gives you hope about the future of humanity?

Were the best spots to catch catfish in KC?

My Dad didn’t land on the beaches but he did bomb the crap out of them just before the landing. Well done pops.

@PeterDiamandis @davidasinclair Best supplement for NAD

Catching up with @davidasinclair soon... What questions would you have for him?

@PeterDiamandis @davidasinclair Best protein bar

@thegarybrecka Throwing them out right now Gary, thanks.

Hundreds of you asked, so let’s break down the David Bar. Here’s what you’re really eating: 🚫 Milk Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Concentrate: Highly processed dairy byproducts. Not real whole food. Stripped of nutrients, spiked with industrial processing agents. 🚫 Allulose, Polydextrose, Maltitol, Glycerin: Sugar alcohols + synthetic sweeteners → known for wrecking gut health, causing bloating, and triggering insulin confusion. Your gut microbiome deserves better. 🚫 Soy Lecithin: A cheap emulsifier, usually derived from genetically modified soy. Linked to gut permeability ("leaky gut") and inflammation in some individuals. 🚫 Palm Kernel Oil: Highly refined, often oxidized, inflammatory fat. Unlike cold-pressed oils, this one promotes cellular stress. 🚫 Natural Flavors: Industry code for chemical cocktails. Up to 100+ undisclosed chemicals can hide under this label, and you’ll never know what you’re eating. 🚫 Esterified Propoxylated Glycerol: A synthetic fat replacement that is banned or heavily restricted in many countries. Linked to liver and kidney damage in high doses in animal studies. 🚫 Cocoa Powder (Processed with Alkali): Dutch-processed cocoa removes 60-90% of the antioxidants cacao is known for. Bottom Line: This isn’t a protein bar. This is an ultra-processed, lab-engineered frankenfood wearing a “high protein” badge. It’s gut-wrecking. It’s inflammatory. ⚠️ If you wouldn’t cook it in your kitchen, don’t fuel your cells with it.

@thegarybrecka Quacamole and Chips

What are you eating for lunch today? Stop what you’re doing, drop it in the comments. Let’s break it down together.

You’re not eating a protein bar. You’re eating a lab experiment in shrink wrap. Here’s the breakdown: Protein Blend? Highly processed isolates stripped of nutrients and often denatured. 15+ artificial additives like: - Sucralose (linked to gut damage) - Soy protein isolate (ultra-processed, often genetically modified) - Vegetable oils (inflammatory palm, soybean, and sunflower) - Sorbitol, maltitol, dextrose (sugar alcohols that spike insulin & upset digestion) - Emulsifiers, preservatives, and industrial fillers This is a Frankenfood. Not fuel. Not fitness. Not fit. You can’t build a healthy body with ultra-processed ingredients. Your mitochondria don’t read labels. They react to what you feed them.
