## Resource

Hour 1 - Good Thursday morning! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour: The United States will take on Australia tomorrow at 2 p.m. in the World Cup. President Trump personally signed the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding during a dinner at the Palace of Versailles. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian also signed the agreement. Nick will broadcast live at the Baker-Spain stampede on Tuesday from 6-9a! Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, 37, has a single checking account that holds up to $50,000—and he shares it with his mother, a frequent contributor to his political campaigns who pitched in to cover Talarico’s moving expenses when he was 32, records show. A new report from Downtown Seattle Association claimed that Seattle lost thousands of jobs and significant property value in the years since implementing the "JumpStart" payroll tax in 2020. It's that time of the year where we hear terrible political ads. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .
