Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: Good morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm Will Welch. A
- 0:07Speaker 1: woman arrested for driving while intoxicated had breathalyzer results more
- 0:11Speaker 1: than two times the legal limit. A Brazos County Sheriff's
- 0:14Speaker 1: deputy reported seeing a vehicle speeding and drifting between lanes
- 0:17Speaker 1: on Highway 6 near Peach Creek around 2.30 Wednesday morning.
- 0:21Speaker 1: Arrest reports say 23-year-old Haley Uelinger was clocked doing 99
- 0:26Speaker 1: miles per hour in a 75-mile-per-hour zone. Officers say her
- 0:30Speaker 1: speech was slurred and she smelled of alcohol. She denied
- 0:33Speaker 1: consuming alcohol but failed a field sobriety test. Breathalyzer test
- 0:38Speaker 1: administered as she was being booked into the Brazos County
- 0:40Speaker 1: Jail showed results of 0.168 and 0.170. more than twice
- 0:46Speaker 1: the legal limit of 0.08. Eulinger was charged with driving
- 0:50Speaker 1: while intoxicated with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.15 or greater.
- 0:55Speaker 1: She is free on $ 9, 000 bond. A new report shows
- 0:59Speaker 1: that data center permitting approvals have continued. despite Governor Abbott's
- 1:03Speaker 1: order for state agencies to halt data center activities.
- 1:07Speaker 2: We've all been skeptical about whether this pause is a
- 1:10Speaker 2: real pause, whether it's these rumors we hear from data
- 1:13Speaker 2: center developers saying we're being told that it's not a
- 1:15Speaker 2: real pause.
- 1:16Speaker 1: Sam Law is with the environmental rights group Fract Trackers.
- 1:19Speaker 1: He authored the report documenting 35 data center permits issued
- 1:23Speaker 1: by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. after the governor
- 1:27Speaker 1: ordered the pause.
- 1:28Speaker 2: You don't expect a regulatory agency in Texas granting permission
- 1:32Speaker 2: for crucial steps in data center construction. That's what we
- 1:35Speaker 2: found in 13 different sites across Texas.
- 1:38Speaker 1: Both the TCEQ and the governor's office say the state
- 1:41Speaker 1: agency is in line with the governor's data center pause.
- 1:45Speaker 1: Transgender rights have once again become a focal point in
- 1:48Speaker 1: Texas politics.
- 1:50Speaker 3: Speaking at a rally in the Dallas suburb of Allen,
- 1:52Speaker 3: Governor Greg Abbott accused his opponent of trying to advance
- 1:55Speaker 3: the transgender agenda.
- 1:57Speaker 4: If any parent dared to try to supposedly misgender their
- 2:00Speaker 4: own child, she said those parents should be prosecuted.
- 2:04Speaker 3: His comments come at the same time that a mysterious
- 2:06Speaker 3: pamphlet is showing up in mailboxes. It claims to come
- 2:08Speaker 3: from a transgender rights organization, but a deep dive shows
- 2:11Speaker 3: that it's linked to a post office box in Wyoming,
- 2:14Speaker 3: and it's being used by GOP activists to denounce Democrats' agenda.
- 2:18Speaker 3: In San Antonio, Michael Board, TSN News.
- 2:21Speaker 1: Comptroller Don Huffines wants Texans to report suspected fraud, waste,
- 2:25Speaker 1: and abuse involving state tax dollars. Experts say there will
- 2:29Speaker 1: be lots to investigate.
- 2:31Speaker 5: It's in large part due to unrestrained spending at the
- 2:35Speaker 5: local level.
- 2:36Speaker 1: John Bonura at the Texas Public Policy Foundation says that
- 2:40Speaker 1: when local budgets are streamlined, it reduces the taxes that
- 2:43Speaker 1: we're forced to pay. The comptroller has also launched a
- 2:46Speaker 1: deep dive into wasteful spending in public schools that will
- 2:50Speaker 1: focus on DEI and foreign workers. More news on the
- 2:54Speaker 1: way at 6.30 or anytime at WTAW.com. I'm Will Welch, 1620-945-WTAW.

- 3:31Speaker 6: Will was telling me he heard back. from the CSPD
- 3:34Speaker 6: on your, on your little side quest that we discovered.
- 3:38Speaker 1: I just offered up. I mean, we mentioned it yesterday.
- 3:41Speaker 6: No, no, this is, if you, if you weren't listening
- 3:42Speaker 6: to the show yesterday, we discovered the college station police department.
- 3:47Speaker 6: They actively are looking for places to train SWAT. So like,
- 3:51Speaker 6: if you've got a property that business warehouse, where you
- 3:54Speaker 6: don't mind having SWAT come through and do SWAT things,
- 3:58Speaker 6: they would love to hear from you. And we mentioned
- 4:01Speaker 6: all the ones that you mentioned, but when we were
- 4:03Speaker 6: going through the list, they also mentioned wooded areas.
- 4:06Speaker 1: Yeah, thick, brushy, wooded areas. Yeah, out in the sticks. Yeah,
- 4:09Speaker 1: got one of those.
- 4:10Speaker 6: All of a sudden, Will's interest perked up real fast.
- 4:14Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 4:14Speaker 1: Real, real fast. Well, I've been involved in an organization
- 4:17Speaker 1: that did a lot of training for law enforcement. I
- 4:18Speaker 1: get what they're doing. I appreciate what they're doing. And
- 4:20Speaker 1: these guys need to be as sharp as they possibly can.
- 4:24Speaker 1: If I have property that they can utilize to help train,
- 4:29Speaker 1: why not?
- 4:30Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 4:30Speaker 1: Why not?
- 4:31Speaker 6: So, so you offered up your property.
- 4:33Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 4:34Speaker 6: And they're interested in, in.
- 4:36Speaker 1: Discussions are continuing.
- 4:37Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 4:37Speaker 6: I'm in love that.
- 4:39Speaker 1: And, and if it should it be booked and whatnot
- 4:41Speaker 1: for the interest of, of OPSEC operational security, I'm not
- 4:44Speaker 1: going to, I'm not going to really say if it
- 4:47Speaker 1: happens or anything like that.
- 4:48Speaker 6: That doesn't need to happen. But like, like in theory,
- 4:52Speaker 6: in theory, if they were to go out and train
- 4:56Speaker 6: people on your property, Would you be going to like,
- 5:00Speaker 6: you know, folding chair? maybe a cooler, maybe a.
- 5:03Speaker 1: Small cooler to watch the show. Probably drive the mule
- 5:06Speaker 1: out there, just sit in it and have a sip
- 5:08Speaker 1: or two.
- 5:08Speaker 6: It would be fascinating.
- 5:09Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 5:10Speaker 1: I mean, I really, that's one of the things I
- 5:12Speaker 1: miss about that particular job was being involved in that
- 5:15Speaker 1: and watching the people who are the tip of the
- 5:18Speaker 1: spear in search and rescue and fire and law enforcement,
- 5:23Speaker 1: you know, work their magic and do what they do.
- 5:27Speaker 6: Also very valuable if you ever find yourself having to
- 5:29Speaker 6: run from them.
- 5:30Speaker 1: Now I know what all the tactics are.
- 5:32Speaker 6: Exactly. You've got to know your strategy.
- 5:34Speaker 1: That's right.
- 5:37Speaker 6: If it came to that, Will.
- 5:38Speaker 1: Look, I'm too old to run, man.
- 5:40Speaker 6: No, I ain't running from anyone. It doesn't matter what
- 5:44Speaker 6: it is. If it's going to come for me, you
- 5:46Speaker 6: know what? Go ahead. It's been a good run.
- 5:48Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been a good run.
- 5:48Speaker 6: Yeah, we've been all right.
- 5:50Speaker 1: I'll go ahead and... I'll go ahead and lay down.
- 5:52Speaker 1: Put my hands behind my head.
- 5:53Speaker 6: I'm not trying to die tired. I'm just not. If anything,
- 5:58Speaker 6: I'm going to take those seconds or minutes, however many
- 6:01Speaker 6: they may be, to reflect on my time and my life.
- 6:06Speaker 6: And I feel like that's a much more.
- 6:09Speaker 6: A much better stewardship.
- 6:10Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. I'm not going to be running away shouting,
- 6:12Speaker 1: don't tase me, bro.

- 10:12Speaker 6: I know we usually go straight into the holidays, but
- 10:15Speaker 6: we do have a couple of non-holidays. First of all,
- 10:18Speaker 6: there's back-of-the-day designation, which I thought.
- 10:21Speaker 1: Was pretty cool. 190 years ago today, 190 years ago, 1836,
- 10:26Speaker 1: Sam Houston was inaugurated as the first constitutionally elected president
- 10:31Speaker 1: of Texas.
- 10:31Speaker 6: El Presidente.
- 10:32Speaker 18: Indeed.
- 10:33Speaker 12: Oh, no.
- 10:33Speaker 17: Big Sam.
- 10:33Speaker 1: 190 years ago.
- 10:33Speaker 6: People forget that 1836 is a lot closer to 1776
- 10:35Speaker 6: than the Old West. Like when I was growing up,
- 10:43Speaker 6: you kind of think Texas Revolution. You think, you know,
- 10:45Speaker 6: not old West, like Western movies, but kind of, nah,
- 10:48Speaker 6: it was very, very colonial.
- 10:50Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 10:50Speaker 6: Very, very colonial. And yeah, a fascinating period in Texas
- 10:55Speaker 6: history and American history.
- 10:57Speaker 1: I love the fact that here in Texas.
- 10:59Speaker 6: Sam Houston's a hell of a character.
- 11:01Speaker 1: We get, you know, in eighth grade or whatever, you
- 11:04Speaker 1: have to take Texas history. I don't think too many states...
- 11:07Speaker 1: No one else does this. Does that.
- 11:08Speaker 6: It freaks people. If you've never encountered this, if you've
- 11:12Speaker 6: ever been around people who aren't in Texas and... have
- 11:16Speaker 6: never been to Texas, don't really have a point of
- 11:18Speaker 6: reference for Texas. I'm not saying they think we all
- 11:20Speaker 6: ride horses to work, but, you know, they have no
- 11:24Speaker 6: actual knowledge of the state. And if the topic of
- 11:28Speaker 6: schools ever comes up and you bring up that Texas
- 11:32Speaker 6: history was a course that everyone took, they will look
- 11:35Speaker 6: at you like you have four heads, like you just
- 11:38Speaker 6: grew three more heads, right? They have no point of
- 11:41Speaker 6: reference for it and it freaks them out. But, I
- 11:45Speaker 6: will say this. If Indiana had a history as rich
- 11:50Speaker 6: as the state of Texas, perhaps they would have Indiana history.
- 11:55Speaker 6: It just so happens that we at one point were
- 11:57Speaker 6: our own country. Thusly, there's a few things that are
- 12:01Speaker 6: worth talking about.
- 12:02Speaker 1: Couple of things.
- 12:03Speaker 6: In junior high. still remember that class i loved it
- 12:08Speaker 6: i i did anyone not love their text i mean
- 12:12Speaker 6: honestly unless.
- 12:13Speaker 1: You just hated school in general.
- 12:15Speaker 6: Another texas history class like was there anyone.
- 12:18Speaker 1: Who was a probably i i mean just because of
- 12:21Speaker 1: the age of the kid taking it you know at
- 12:23Speaker 1: that age there sometimes you just are born to hate everything.
- 12:26Speaker 6: Yeah rest in peace to a music legend john anderson
- 12:29Speaker 6: passed away.
- 12:29Speaker 1: Yesterday Man, I love John Anderson.
- 12:32Speaker 6: Wanted to acknowledge that because, I mean, obviously a country
- 12:35Speaker 6: hall of famer. 71 years old, which is a little
- 12:40Speaker 6: bit young. And he was actually working until he was
- 12:42Speaker 6: at a CMA event, I want to say, over the weekend.
- 12:48Speaker 6: So it was very sudden. Obviously, the man has some hits.
- 12:56Speaker 1: Seminole win.
- 12:57Speaker 6: I do love an opportunity to play... country music on
- 13:01Speaker 6: an AM radio stage.
- 13:02Speaker 1: It just sounds right.
- 13:04Speaker 6: I'm told that this is the ultimate way to listen.
- 13:07Speaker 1: To good country music. Yeah, if we were playing it
- 13:10Speaker 1: off an album, you're playing.
- 13:12Speaker 6: It off a blast.
- 13:14Speaker 19: It's been a win.
- 13:16Speaker 1: Back in 1992. Do you have a favorite? This one's
- 13:20Speaker 1: kind of on top of the list.
- 13:22Speaker 6: This is mine. This is a beautiful song.
- 13:26Speaker 1: I mean, growing up, just from a sentimental perspective, You know,
- 13:32Speaker 1: we would sing along with my friends that lived near
- 13:35Speaker 1: my grandfather's farm when the song came out. We'd be
- 13:39Speaker 1: sitting on the porch eating chocolate pie. You know, what's swinging? Swinging.
- 13:45Speaker 1: That song will get stuck. You talk about an earworm, man.
- 13:48Speaker 1: Just a swinging. There we go.
- 13:50Speaker 6: 1982.
- 13:54Speaker 1: Yeah, 12 years old, playing in the summertime, riding the
- 13:58Speaker 1: neighbor's Honda 90 minibike.
- 14:03Speaker 6: There wasn't a lot of great country. Great country from
- 14:07Speaker 6: that era that still hits. This is one of those songs.
- 14:10Speaker 1: I think people got sick of it, and they kind
- 14:12Speaker 1: of brought it back. I'm sure you can find somebody
- 14:14Speaker 1: line dancing to it now.
- 14:15Speaker 6: I still have it on a few playlists to this day.
- 14:18Speaker 1: John Anderson had such a unique delivery in his songs.
- 14:22Speaker 6: It's his voice for me. There's not many people. There's
- 14:26Speaker 6: a few of them. They actually got that style, I
- 14:28Speaker 6: feel like, from John Andrews.
- 14:30Speaker 1: I think so, too.
- 14:31Speaker 6: You know, because that's what happens is something gets to people.
- 14:34Speaker 6: I kind of like that.
- 14:36Speaker 1: That guy has a hit. I can sound like that.
- 14:38Speaker 6: Some other ones that I think. Yeah, the choir in
- 14:41Speaker 6: the background.
- 14:42Speaker 1: Got to have some backing vocals, baby.
- 14:44Speaker 6: What about this one? This one, Jump Outta. Not as
- 14:55Speaker 6: familiar with this one, but yeah, love it. Yeah, this
- 15:01Speaker 6: is a deeper cut. But if you're talking.
- 15:05Speaker 1: About, you know.
- 15:08Speaker 6: Great country songs.
- 15:09Speaker 1: He can paint a picture.
- 15:10Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly. This is a story that's... everyone can relate to.
- 15:16Speaker 1: I mean, Seminole Wind, I feel myself blazing through the swamps.
- 15:19Speaker 6: On an airboat. You can see Florida.
- 15:22Speaker 1: Yeah, swinging, swinging. I can picture the porch. I can
- 15:25Speaker 1: picture rolling up the garden hose, cutting chicken up to fry,
- 15:29Speaker 1: the whole thing.
- 15:29Speaker 6: All right, let's talk about the big one.
- 15:35Speaker 9: 1992, same in.
- 15:36Speaker 6: Here as Seminole Wind. Definitively, this is probably his biggest.
- 15:40Speaker 16: If you really want to know, she comes here a lot.
- 15:44Speaker 8: She just loves to hear the music and dance.
- 15:50Speaker 6: K-13 is her favorite song.
- 15:53Speaker 14: If you play it, you might have a chance.
- 15:57Speaker 1: Tonight she's only sipping white wine.
- 16:02Speaker 6: She's friendly and fun-loving most of the time.
- 16:05Speaker 17: But don't ask her.
- 16:08Speaker 14: All the strange things.
- 16:10Speaker 1: Again, pictures magic, man.
- 16:13Speaker 6: Yeah, that's as good as anything that's out today. Better
- 16:18Speaker 6: than most of it.
- 16:19Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so.
- 16:20Speaker 6: You can find tributes from all sorts of icons of
- 16:26Speaker 6: country music because he was a country musician. Country musicians,
- 16:29Speaker 6: those dudes everyone really kind of looked up to.
- 16:31Speaker 1: Member of the Hall of Fame.
- 16:32Speaker 6: And again, rest in peace. What an amazing, amazing career.
- 16:35Speaker 6: Larry says for him it's chicken truck, which I should...
- 16:39Speaker 6: You know what? Whatever.
- 16:40Speaker 1: Why am I.
- 16:41Speaker 6: Why am I gatekeeping the John Anderson today?
- 16:44Speaker 1: There's no reason to.
- 16:45Speaker 6: There's absolutely no reason to.
- 16:46Speaker 1: Any day you're going to play some John Anderson, it's
- 16:48Speaker 1: a big one.
- 16:48Speaker 16: You're going to.
- 16:52Speaker 9: Have to tell us how this sounds if.
- 16:55Speaker 8: You're listening on 1620.
- 17:00Speaker 20: I'm really.
- 17:08Speaker 6: I don't get to hear the product coming out of
- 17:11Speaker 6: the speakers, and I really wish I did this morning.
- 17:13Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the way it's meant to be.
- 17:14Speaker 6: One day we're just going to do just old classic
- 17:18Speaker 6: country on AM. I don't know how, and I don't
- 17:21Speaker 6: know to what end, but we're bringing it back at
- 17:23Speaker 6: least one day because it's just, yeah, like you said, Will,
- 17:26Speaker 6: coming off the vinyl on turntables through AM2.
- 17:31Speaker 1: It just got sold that way. All right, Mike is texting.
- 17:37Speaker 1: The sound is phenomenal and very nostalgic of listening to
- 17:40Speaker 1: morning radio in the 70s as a small child. My man.
- 17:43Speaker 1: Mike also said that he was unaware that John Anderson
- 17:46Speaker 1: sang straight tequila night.
- 17:48Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 17:49Speaker 1: And so there you go. He learned something new right there.
- 17:52Speaker 6: And also on text messages, Jay says you can't talk
- 17:57Speaker 6: about Sam Houston without mentioning the Sam Houston statue, which
- 18:00Speaker 6: is still, I would consider that one of the finest
- 18:03Speaker 6: landmarks in the state of Texas.
- 18:04Speaker 1: I think so, too.
- 18:04Speaker 16: I know we have a lot.
- 18:06Speaker 6: There's something about that statue.
- 18:07Speaker 1: Yeah, we owned a piece of property.
- 18:09Speaker 6: It comes up on you, and again, if you're not
- 18:11Speaker 6: ready for it, What in God's name is that?
- 18:14Speaker 1: It's a monolith.
- 18:16Speaker 6: Only in Texas.
- 18:18Speaker 1: We owned a piece of property not far from Independence, where,
- 18:21Speaker 1: of course, the legend was that Sam Houston was baptized
- 18:24Speaker 1: in a creek there.
- 18:25Speaker 6: That was the legend.
- 18:26Speaker 1: And all the fish downstream floated to the surface because
- 18:30Speaker 1: of his sins killed them all.
- 18:33Speaker 6: Big Sam.
- 18:34Speaker 1: Big Sam.
- 18:34Speaker 6: Today, eat a pretzel day. You can celebrate however you
- 18:37Speaker 6: want to, Auntie Anne's or a bag of pretzels or whatever.

- 18:49Speaker 6: you use them every day, so they will go.

- 18:55Speaker 6: And I... Believe it or not.
- 18:56Speaker 1: I've got a good barometer myself.

- 19:02Speaker 6: it in your bones is more reliable than anything we
- 19:04Speaker 6: get off of the radar. I always prioritize that over
- 19:08Speaker 6: any forecast.

- 21:16Speaker 1: Should have had him out there for Elon flipping that

- 21:18Speaker 6: I think they really should have had him as a
- 21:21Speaker 6: part of that in some form or fashion because that
- 21:24Speaker 6: is what we were all thinking. Why not bring out
- 21:26Speaker 6: Doc Brown at least to you know, to bless the, uh,

- 23:27Speaker 26: For years, Bryan residents have heard about HEB coming to
- 23:30Speaker 26: Booneville Road. But HEB never announced a construction timeline for
- 23:33Speaker 26: a new store at that location. When City Hall speaks,
- 23:35Speaker 26: residents should know what's confirmed, what isn't, and what's actually
- 23:38Speaker 26: in writing. I'm Rafael Pena. As mayor, I'll verify the
- 23:41Speaker 26: facts before making announcements and communicate clearly with the people
- 23:44Speaker 26: of Bryan. The citizens of Bryan deserve a city hall

- 26:03Speaker 28: In the race for governor, it's chaos versus common sense. First,
- 26:07Speaker 28: the chaos brought to you by Gina Hinojosa. She supports
- 26:10Speaker 28: open border policies so anyone can just walk in illegally.
- 26:14Speaker 28: And once they do, Hinojosa would allow them to vote
- 26:17Speaker 28: and get taxpayer funded health care. Gina Hinojosa favors a
- 26:20Speaker 28: state income tax and voted 40 times for higher property taxes.
- 26:25Speaker 28: And Hinojosa would threaten your safety because she supports defunding
- 26:28Speaker 28: the police and letting violent criminals out of jail.
- 26:32Speaker 24: But don't worry, because Governor Greg Abbott leads with common sense.
- 26:36Speaker 24: Abbott secured the border and cracked down on the deadly
- 26:39Speaker 24: drug cartels.
- 26:40Speaker 1: He banned a state income tax.
- 26:41Speaker 24: So you keep more of your money and Texas remains
- 26:44Speaker 24: number one in job creation. And Governor Abbott keeps you
- 26:47Speaker 24: safe by fully funding the police and keeping violent criminals
- 26:51Speaker 24: locked up.
- 26:52Speaker 1: That's the choice, Texas.
- 26:53Speaker 24: The chaos that Gina Hinojosa would bring or the common
- 26:56Speaker 24: sense leadership of Governor Greg Abbott.
- 26:59Speaker 1: Political ad paid for by Texans for Greg Abbott. Good
- 27:05Speaker 1: morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm Will Welch. The Fall
- 27:10Speaker 1: Household Hazardous Waste and Computer Collection event is taking place

- 27:55Speaker 1: With hunting season underway, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department
- 27:58Speaker 1: wants to remind hunters to check their game for the
- 28:01Speaker 1: new world screw worm before field dressing or moving the carcass.
- 28:05Speaker 1: The department announced on Wednesday that an elk hunter in
- 28:08Speaker 1: Pecos County discovered the screw worm during an inspection of
- 28:11Speaker 1: their harvest. Signs of infestation include irritated or depressed behavior,
- 28:16Speaker 1: head shaking, smell of decaying flesh, presence of fly larvae
- 28:20Speaker 1: in wounds, and isolation from other animals or people. During harvest,
- 28:24Speaker 1: make sure to inspect mucus membranes and run your hands
- 28:28Speaker 1: along the body of the animal and check the feet
- 28:30Speaker 1: and between the toes, looking for any wounds that might
- 28:32Speaker 1: have a foul smell or maggots. You can learn more
- 28:35Speaker 1: at screwworm.texas.gov. There's a new website for Texans to report
- 28:41Speaker 1: suspected fraud and waste.
- 28:43Speaker 3: It's the pushes by comptroller Don Huffines, who wants to
- 28:45Speaker 3: know how state tax dollars are spent and if there's abuse.
- 28:49Speaker 3: John Manura at the Texas Public Policy Foundation predicts there
- 28:52Speaker 3: will be a focus on wasteful spending by local governments.
- 28:55Speaker 5: We can save Texans money by reining in the unnecessary
- 28:58Speaker 5: spending that local governments are doing.
- 29:00Speaker 3: He says that when local budgets are streamlined, it reduces
- 29:02Speaker 3: the taxes that we're forced to pay. The comptroller has
- 29:05Speaker 3: also launched a deep dive into wasteful spending in public
- 29:07Speaker 3: schools that will focus on DEI and foreign workers. In
- 29:11Speaker 3: San Antonio, Michael Board, TSN News.
- 29:14Speaker 1: A new report shows that data center permitting approvals have continued,
- 29:18Speaker 1: despite Governor Abbott's directive to state agencies to pause data
- 29:22Speaker 1: center activities.
- 29:23Speaker 2: We've all been skeptical about whether this pause is a
- 29:26Speaker 2: real pause.
- 29:27Speaker 20: Sam Laws with the environmental rights group Fract Trackers, he
- 29:30Speaker 20: authored the report documenting 35 data center permits issued by
- 29:34Speaker 20: the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality after the governor's pause.
- 29:38Speaker 2: You don't expect a regulatory agency in Texas granting permission
- 29:43Speaker 2: for crucial steps in data center construction. That's what we
- 29:45Speaker 2: found in 13 different sites across Texas.
- 29:48Speaker 20: Law says when the report first came out Monday, the
- 29:51Speaker 20: TCEQ immediately suspended 10 stormwater construction permits for data centers.
- 29:56Speaker 2: Today, those suspensions seem to have been reversed.
- 29:58Speaker 20: Both the TCEQ and a spokesman for Governor Abbott says
- 30:01Speaker 20: the state agency has not approved data center permits since
- 30:05Speaker 20: the pause. In Austin, Chris Fox, TSN News.
- 30:09Speaker 1: A Fox News poll suggests Texas' crucial U.S. Senate race
- 30:13Speaker 1: remains deadlocked.
- 30:15Speaker 18: A Fox News poll of over 2,000 Texas voters finding
- 30:18Speaker 18: both Democrat James Tallarico and Republican Ken Paxton have 49%
- 30:22Speaker 18: support in the state's U.S. Senate race. Voters also sharing
- 30:26Speaker 18: similar levels of concern about the two. 53% say they
- 30:29Speaker 18: are extremely or very concerned that Tallarico's positions are too liberal,
- 30:33Speaker 18: while 50% say they are extremely or very concerned Paxton
- 30:37Speaker 18: is too close to President Trump. 43% of those polled
- 30:40Speaker 18: say they feel they are worse off financially compared to
- 30:43Speaker 18: two years ago. 20% feel they are better off in
- 30:46Speaker 18: the Texas governor's race. 52% say they support GOP incumbent
- 30:49Speaker 18: Governor Greg Abbott, while 47% support his Democratic challenger, Gina Hinojosa.

- 33:55Speaker 6: We would love to hear from you and always do.
- 33:59Speaker 6: Text messages. Again, we were discussing the passing of John Anderson,
- 34:02Speaker 6: which is a sad thing for anyone who loves music
- 34:07Speaker 6: in the country genre, specifically from the 80s and 90s.
- 34:09Speaker 6: I mean, most of us have memories around John Anderson's music.
- 34:14Speaker 6: Frank has a pretty good one. He says, by the way,
- 34:16Speaker 6: it sounds great coming out of the WTAW airwaves. Met
- 34:20Speaker 6: my second wife at Cactus Canyon inside Post Oak Mall.
- 34:25Speaker 6: First song she asked me to dance with her to
- 34:29Speaker 6: was Straight Tequila Night. That's something, man.
- 34:34Speaker 1: That's romance. That's Texas romance right there.
- 34:37Speaker 6: Back to the idea of Texas history. Texas history class
- 34:41Speaker 6: in How that's really a Texas invention. I need to
- 34:43Speaker 6: admit that I appear apparently I am wrong on this.
- 34:46Speaker 1: No, I there are actually there are a few. There's
- 34:49Speaker 1: a handful of states, but I'm certain not certain. I
- 34:52Speaker 1: speculate that a lot of those picked it up after
- 34:56Speaker 1: they found out that Texas history was a thing. There's
- 34:59Speaker 1: states that have great history as well. And this is
- 35:02Speaker 1: one of them.
- 35:02Speaker 6: Absolutely.
- 35:03Speaker 1: Absolutely. Because she says that she grew up in Virginia.
- 35:07Speaker 1: She had to take Virginia history.
- 35:08Speaker 6: That's I honestly until until right now had had no idea.
- 35:14Speaker 6: that there was Virginia history, but, Will, you're exactly correct.
- 35:17Speaker 1: Virginia history that's older than Texas history.
- 35:20Speaker 6: There's a lot of history in the state of Virginia,
- 35:22Speaker 6: and I would expect nothing. If I had kids that
- 35:26Speaker 6: were growing up in Virginia, I would want them to
- 35:28Speaker 6: learn about being a Virginian and have at least a year,
- 35:32Speaker 6: because you're right. It doesn't go back to America. It
- 35:36Speaker 6: goes back to almost Columbus.
- 35:38Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 35:38Speaker 6: And obviously before that. New England, if you're in Massachusetts
- 35:43Speaker 6: or Boston or somewhere like that, you probably also Georgia, frankly,
- 35:47Speaker 6: probably have a pretty good history course on that. And again,
- 35:51Speaker 6: I'm sure you could make an argument for any state,
- 35:53Speaker 6: but near the top of the if there's a top five.
- 35:57Speaker 6: I think we all know Texas is going to be
- 35:58Speaker 6: one of those.
- 35:59Speaker 1: Book I'm reading right now, Two Sides of the Same Coin.
- 36:02Speaker 1: We hope to get the author on because it's a
- 36:04Speaker 1: fascinating book.
- 36:05Speaker 6: I'm also enjoying this book tremendously.
- 36:08Speaker 1: No spoilers for you, Tucker, because I know you're maybe
- 36:11Speaker 1: a page or two behind me. They talk about some
- 36:16Speaker 1: very interesting historical relevances that Happened in states.
- 36:22Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 36:23Speaker 1: And a lot of these things were things that I
- 36:25Speaker 1: had no idea occurred in Texas in American history. And
- 36:29Speaker 1: I'm a history buff.
- 36:30Speaker 16: Okay.
- 36:31Speaker 1: So, again, we'll talk about that more hopefully when we
- 36:34Speaker 1: get through reading this book.
- 36:36Speaker 6: We're both going to finish this soon because I would
- 36:39Speaker 6: like to have this guy on pre-election because it's a
- 36:42Speaker 6: fascinating book. And, again, I think that will be a
- 36:46Speaker 6: great conversation to have. But, yeah, there's so much great
- 36:49Speaker 6: history out there. And like I said, I cannot imagine
- 36:54Speaker 6: taking a history class and having it be the worst
- 36:55Speaker 6: part of your day. Right. And I have yet to
- 36:57Speaker 6: find someone who will tell me.
- 36:59Speaker 1: There's some people out there, but I speculate those, I
- 37:02Speaker 1: think those people probably maybe didn't like a lot of
- 37:06Speaker 1: schools in general.
- 37:07Speaker 6: So good night. Uh, what else do we need to go? Yes, yes, yes, yes. Let's, uh,
- 37:13Speaker 6: let's get into this world series. No one cares. I
- 37:17Speaker 6: need to mention that. No one cares about Tampa and Milwaukee.
- 37:21Speaker 1: The people of Tampa and Milwaukee do.
- 37:23Speaker 14: Yeah.
- 37:23Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 37:24Speaker 6: Great. They can have it. Now I did find something
- 37:27Speaker 6: about the world series. that made me interested today, and
- 37:31Speaker 6: so I am sharing this story with the class. Milwaukee
- 37:35Speaker 6: is already in hot water over the World Series because
- 37:39Speaker 6: of a blown promotion that involved selling eternal tickets to
- 37:46Speaker 6: the World Series back in 2015, when obviously no one
- 37:53Speaker 6: who was a Brewers fan, thought they had a chance
- 37:56Speaker 6: in hell of ever.
- 37:56Speaker 1: What they sold was a $ 1, 000, quote, timeless ticket.
- 38:01Speaker 6: A timeless ticket.
- 38:02Speaker 1: A fan could redeem it at any game. Or a
- 38:04Speaker 1: grand will. At any game in the future. So a
- 38:08Speaker 1: lot of the fans that have held on to those
- 38:10Speaker 1: for 11 years now.
- 38:12Speaker 6: A golden ticket. A golden ticket, if you will. This
- 38:15Speaker 6: was like a turn in and go. and guess what
- 38:19Speaker 6: game you'd want to go to. Absolutely.
- 38:21Speaker 1: If you were hanging onto that ticket, God forbid, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Yeah.
- 38:25Speaker 1: So first two games are in Milwaukee. A lot of
- 38:27Speaker 1: these folks are saying, Hey, cash me in. Right. They're, they're,
- 38:30Speaker 1: they're a little upset though, because apparently the tickets that
- 38:34Speaker 1: they're getting are low quality tickets. I have read, they
- 38:38Speaker 1: say their seats quote sucked.
- 38:40Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 38:40Speaker 6: They, I have read there in some cases, not even seats.
- 38:44Speaker 6: They're just spaces and, Anyway, let's listen to one of
- 38:48Speaker 6: the people who tried to turn these in and see
- 38:50Speaker 6: what he has to say about it.
- 38:51Speaker 5: I wasn't envisioning, hey, we're going to get front row,
- 38:53Speaker 5: but certainly first 10 rows. I said, this has to
- 38:55Speaker 5: be a mistake. terrace level that's level four that's not
- 38:58Speaker 5: the best available seat and she said yeah i'm not
- 39:01Speaker 5: going to argue that there's better seats available this is
- 39:03Speaker 5: what's being allocated to the timeless ticket holders upset angry
- 39:07Speaker 5: out of principle i'm not even going to go when
- 39:08Speaker 5: you promise somebody the best seat available and you give
- 39:11Speaker 5: them pretty much the worst seats that you have in
- 39:13Speaker 5: the whole stadium i would say no they're not.
- 39:15Speaker 6: Honoring now i want to say i want to be
- 39:16Speaker 6: clear about this i appreciate that you paid a thousand
- 39:19Speaker 6: dollars a thousand dollars for a ticket problem would get
- 39:22Speaker 6: you quite a bit in the baseball game right even
- 39:26Speaker 6: at the world series but that said i think first
- 39:28Speaker 6: 10 rows is a little yeah i'm.
- 39:32Speaker 1: Getting decent seeds i mean come on you don't have yeah.
- 39:35Speaker 6: Because you already got his money you already took his money.
- 39:39Speaker 1: You took it you'd spend it poorly because for 11
- 39:42Speaker 1: years you still weren't anything.
- 39:44Speaker 6: And apparently, from what you said, people had already turned
- 39:47Speaker 6: these in. It's not like every one of them held
- 39:51Speaker 6: us like, hey, one of these days, 11 years in
- 39:53Speaker 6: the future, we're going to be able. Can you imagine
- 39:55Speaker 6: having to dig through the junk drawer?
- 39:57Speaker 1: Where did I put that golden ticket? Because 11 years ago, man,
- 40:01Speaker 1: especially if it was for the brewers, I'd tuck that
- 40:05Speaker 1: thing away.
- 40:05Speaker 6: What are the odds it even still exists?
- 40:08Speaker 30: Right.
- 40:08Speaker 6: Would you even have it in your house? Who knows?
- 40:10Speaker 6: You had to go look for it. Can you imagine
- 40:12Speaker 6: that promotion? at Texas A & M and how that
- 40:18Speaker 6: would go in theory, because like, Hey, would you get
- 40:22Speaker 6: a ton of money from, Oh yeah.
- 40:24Speaker 23: Yeah.
- 40:25Speaker 6: Would you eventually have to cash in? Probably one of
- 40:28Speaker 6: these days they're going to get to a natty. Would
- 40:31Speaker 6: it be a net positive? Like I, I mean, it's
- 40:35Speaker 6: a weird promotion and I've been baseball does some kooky promotions,
- 40:38Speaker 6: but I wonder if they actually, turned a profit on
- 40:41Speaker 6: that before it was all said and done.
- 40:43Speaker 1: Well, the World Series is unique, though, because they play
- 40:46Speaker 1: at home.
- 40:47Speaker 6: Right.
- 40:47Speaker 1: Right? So that would be your biggest issue with any
- 40:49Speaker 1: other sport.
- 40:50Speaker 6: You'd have to be basically pulling out allotments and all
- 40:52Speaker 6: these other things. But, yeah, man, that's... There's.
- 40:55Speaker 1: A lot to play with there.
- 40:56Speaker 7: You know what?
- 40:57Speaker 6: They did you a favor, man.
- 40:58Speaker 1: You know what they should do? No one needs to
- 40:59Speaker 1: go to that Steve's Fest. They should have a promotion
- 41:01Speaker 1: in the seventh inning of this game to destroy disco
- 41:04Speaker 1: and see how that goes today.
- 41:07Speaker 6: Google it, everyone.
- 41:08Speaker 23: Hi, this is Neal Sperry, and I'll be back with
- 41:11Speaker 23: today's Plant Talk Texas right after a word from our
- 41:13Speaker 23: sponsor and friends at Producers.
- 41:16Speaker 9: Ranchers, it's time for you to plan your cattle feed
- 41:19Speaker 9: and mineral requirements for your winter feeding program. Take advantage
- 41:23Speaker 9: of bulk contract prices and place your order at Producers
- 41:26Speaker 9: Cooperative between September 25th and October 17th. Reserve your feed
- 41:31Speaker 9: and minerals now and pick up or take delivery as
- 41:34Speaker 9: you need them. Contracting runs September 25th through October 17th
- 41:39Speaker 9: at Producers Cooperative. Everything nutrition since 1943.
- 41:46Speaker 23: With so many people now hiring help with their landscape
- 41:49Speaker 23: designs and installations, also the ongoing maintenance, a few tips
- 41:53Speaker 23: for finding the right landscape contractor might be in order.
- 41:57Speaker 23: I've prepared that list. I'll be back with details right
- 41:59Speaker 23: after this message. That hot, dry summer weather drove the
- 42:03Speaker 23: fire ants out of sight for a while, but they're
- 42:05Speaker 23: still out there waiting to sting us and bite us.
- 42:09Speaker 23: And now that we're getting fall rains, here come the mounds.
- 42:12Speaker 23: The mounds aren't just unsightly. They're a potential danger to you,
- 42:16Speaker 23: your family, and your pets. Control fire ants now by
- 42:20Speaker 23: applying Fertilome Come and Get It Fire Ant Killer. It
- 42:23Speaker 23: contains spinosad and an organic bait that attracts the foraging ants.
- 42:28Speaker 23: They take it back into the mound to feed the
- 42:30Speaker 23: queen and worker ants, and they start to die within
- 42:33Speaker 23: 24 hours. Sprinkle four tablespoons of Fertilome Come and Get
- 42:36Speaker 23: It Fire Ant Killer evenly over the mound and extend
- 42:40Speaker 23: it out about two feet. No watering is necessary. Fertilome
- 42:44Speaker 23: is dedicated to supporting local businesses. Their products can only
- 42:47Speaker 23: be found in independently owned garden centers and feed stores.
- 42:51Speaker 23: They're made right here in the Lone Star State in Bonham, Texas. Fertilome,
- 42:55Speaker 23: come and get it. Fire Ant Killer, made in Texas
- 42:58Speaker 23: for Texas lawns and gardens. So if you're looking for
- 43:02Speaker 23: a great landscape contractor, you can look online, you can
- 43:06Speaker 23: ask your nourishment, you can also ask friends. In fact,
- 43:09Speaker 23: referrals from friends or neighbors, that's a great place to start.
- 43:13Speaker 23: If you know someone who has been really happy with
- 43:15Speaker 23: the work done by one particular landscape contractor, his or
- 43:19Speaker 23: her name needs to go onto your list. Ask your friend,
- 43:22Speaker 23: of course, if you can take a look at the
- 43:24Speaker 23: details of the work. See if it matches your expectations
- 43:27Speaker 23: when given closer inspection. If it was a new landscape,
- 43:30Speaker 23: ask how long it's been in place. You really can't
- 43:33Speaker 23: tell much for the first year or two. By then,
- 43:35Speaker 23: problems will have begun to shake out. Known examples of
- 43:39Speaker 23: great work. If you see a house.
- 43:41Speaker 1: That especially appeals to you, Stop.
- 43:43Speaker 23: And ask who did the work for them. Every gardener
- 43:46Speaker 23: loves to get that kind of inquiry, even if they
- 43:49Speaker 23: did the work themselves, probably especially if they did. If
- 43:52Speaker 23: a contractor was involved, ask how he or she reacted
- 43:55Speaker 23: to their wishes and changes. You're hiring someone who needs
- 43:59Speaker 23: to be almost a member of your family in order
- 44:01Speaker 23: to anticipate your goals and needs. Get a referral from
- 44:05Speaker 23: your local nurseryman. This works best when you're dealing with
- 44:09Speaker 23: a local, independent retail garden center in your neighborhood. It's
- 44:13Speaker 23: especially true if that nursery also has a wholesale division
- 44:16Speaker 23: out in the back that sells to the landscape contractors.
- 44:19Speaker 23: Either way, they know who does the best work in
- 44:22Speaker 23: your part of town, and they may even know a
- 44:23Speaker 23: few examples of that contractor's work to site. Member of
- 44:28Speaker 23: the Texas Nursery and Landscape Association. It's been many, many
- 44:33Speaker 23: years now since the Texas Association of Nurses merged with
- 44:36Speaker 23: the Texas Nursery and Landscape Contractors Association. They married the
- 44:41Speaker 23: name because the Texas Nursery and Landscape Association, and it's
- 44:44Speaker 23: a bonus if contractors you interview are members of that
- 44:48Speaker 23: strong organization. Look for a Texas certified landscape contractor. That's
- 44:53Speaker 23: your assurance you're getting the best of the best. There
- 44:56Speaker 23: are specialty contractors. You might have forgotten this important community
- 44:59Speaker 23: of support workers, but your landscape contractor won't. In fact,
- 45:03Speaker 23: their work may actually be subcontracted. The contractor may hire
- 45:06Speaker 23: them in. The list is virtually endless, but in broad strokes,
- 45:10Speaker 23: it might be landscape lighting, it might be pools, it
- 45:12Speaker 23: might be pavers, it might be any of those things.
- 45:15Speaker 23: And then actual interviews. This is where the real decision
- 45:19Speaker 23: needs to be made. You need to feel comfortable with
- 45:21Speaker 23: your choice of people. You will become a team working
- 45:24Speaker 23: toward your common goal, so you need to know that
- 45:27Speaker 23: you can communicate with your landscape contractor. Discuss the level
- 45:31Speaker 23: of involvement you're seeking, and then talk to them about
- 45:34Speaker 23: what it would cost. I'm Neal Sperry. Spectacular foliage will
- 45:38Speaker 23: be the subject of our next Plant Talk Texas. Until then,
- 45:41Speaker 23: happy gardening.

- 46:19Speaker 31: and electronics are considered household hazardous waste, also.
- 46:22Speaker 16: Known as HHW?
- 46:24Speaker 31: It seems harmless, but improper disposal of these everyday household
- 46:27Speaker 31: items pose fire risk, environmental threats, and definitely do not
- 46:31Speaker 31: belong in your regular garbage.
- 46:33Speaker 16: So what should you do with them? Easy. Each year,
- 46:36Speaker 16: the Twin Oaks Landfill, along with the cities of Bryan and.

- 47:56Speaker 15: Good morning.
- 47:57Speaker 33: I'm Riley Flurkey with your morning sports update on 1620-945-WTAW.
- 48:03Speaker 33: The Aggie softball team is gearing up to host McLennan
- 48:06Speaker 33: Community College Highlanders tonight as their fall exhibition action continues.
- 48:10Speaker 33: First pitch for tonight's game is set for 6 o'clock
- 48:13Speaker 33: at Davis Diamond. The Aggie soccer team is on the
- 48:16Speaker 33: road tonight preparing to play its final road match of
- 48:19Speaker 33: the season. The Ags are gearing up to battle the
- 48:22Speaker 33: Missouri Tigers at Walton Stadium with first kick set for
- 48:25Speaker 33: 8 o'clock. The Aggie football team is just two days
- 48:29Speaker 33: shy of hitting the road to Alabama and continuing SEC play.
- 48:33Speaker 33: Head coach Mike Elko spoke about the progress the defense
- 48:35Speaker 33: has made to improve their side of the ball over
- 48:38Speaker 33: the past month.
- 48:39Speaker 34: I think that We had two bad games in back-to-back weeks.
- 48:45Speaker 34: I think outside of that, when we function and play
- 48:49Speaker 34: the way that we're capable of, we have been a
- 48:51Speaker 34: good unit. You know, we've probably gotten a little bit
- 48:54Speaker 34: more consistent over the last couple weeks. That's obviously the
- 49:00Speaker 34: biggest thing with us on defense, has been going all
- 49:02Speaker 34: the way back, you know, it seems like for years.
- 49:05Speaker 34: But I do think when we play consistent the way
- 49:09Speaker 34: we're capable of, we have played pretty solid defense at times.
- 49:12Speaker 33: Coach Elko also spoke about the importance of creating turnovers
- 49:16Speaker 33: and how Tennessee affected Alabama because of their strong defensive performance.
- 49:20Speaker 34: I think it's always important regardless of where you play.
- 49:23Speaker 34: I think the road amplifies it for sure. There's a
- 49:27Speaker 34: reason why it's the number one thing hanging on our
- 49:29Speaker 34: walls all over this building is because I do. I
- 49:32Speaker 34: think it's the number one thing that indicates success and
- 49:35Speaker 34: If you want to go win a football game, a
- 49:38Speaker 34: really good starting point is protecting the football and taking
- 49:41Speaker 34: it away. That's something we preach and obviously will play
- 49:46Speaker 34: a big role in our success on Saturday. I just
- 49:48Speaker 34: think they've got a really talented quarterback. They've got a
- 49:51Speaker 34: really good offensive line. They've got really explosive players on
- 49:54Speaker 34: the outside. Tennessee maybe did a better job than most
- 49:58Speaker 34: of affecting the quarterback with the D-line in the pass
- 50:01Speaker 34: rush and but I'm sure that's something that they'll rectify.
- 50:04Speaker 34: It's a really talented group.
- 50:05Speaker 33: Kickoff for the game is set for 2.30, and you
- 50:08Speaker 33: can listen to the game on 1620-945-WTAW. The 7th-ranked A
