How to constantly update time variables in a Python Script?

I have an if statement below that I want to execute at exactly 11:45 am every single day. The problem is, when I run my Python script, result.tm_min and result.tm_hour are static, holding whatever time it was when I started the script in th first place. I need some way for these values to change in real-time with the clock. So when the time changes from 11:44 to 11:45, result.tm_min also changes from 44 to 45, allowing for the below if statement to execute. If I could get any help with this, that would be awesome.

I'm currently using the time and datetime libraries for this.

if result.tm_hour == 11:
        if result.tm_min == 45:

            post_number = random.randint(1, 5)
            noun_number = random.randint(1, noun_expand_count)
            verb_number = random.randint(1, verb_expand_count)

            noun_file = open("nouns.txt", "r")
            get_noun_line = noun_file.readlines()
            new_noun = get_noun_line[noun_number].strip()
            noun_file.close()

            verb_file = open("verbs.txt", "r")
            get_verb_line = verb_file.readlines()
            new_verb = get_verb_line[verb_number].strip()
            verb_file.close()

            post_file = open("things_to_do.txt", "r")
            get_post_line = post_file.readlines()
            new_post = get_post_line[post_number].strip()
            post_file.close

            message = "@joerogan Hello Joe, today's top two priorities are to:", new_post, new_verb, new_noun
            print(message)
            #api.update_status(message)
