  Speaker 1: Good morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm Will Welch. The
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Amber Alert Network of the Brazos Valley is hosting Honk
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: for the Missing today. The group will be across from
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: the main entrance to Texas A & M on Texas
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Avenue at Walton Street from noon until 1. Chuck Flieger,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: executive director of Amber Alert Brazos Valley, says that drivers
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: are simply asked to honk as they drive by.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: This is just a reminder that while we do this
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: once a year, every other day out of the year,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: there are people that are missing, and that means that
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: there are family members and loved ones who don't know
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: where they are.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Flieger says there are about 300 missing child reports every year.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: The majority of those cases result in a quick return
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: thanks to the network. About 80 of those cases are
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: where a child is missing three days or longer. On Monday,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: a missing 14-year-old from Bryan, Aria Cates, was located safe
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: nearly 250 miles away after being missing for 10 days.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Texas Comptroller Don Huffines announced a ban on state grant
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: money paying for the equipment or contracts for ALPRs. and
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: other vehicle identification systems that convert license plate images into
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: computer-readable data. Huffines calls them spy cameras. He says the
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: government has no business tracking where law-abiding Texans drive. Doing
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: it without a warrant is a clear violation of the
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Fourth Amendment of the Constitution. Requirements will apply to all
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: future grants administered by the Comptroller's Office. It includes cameras, software,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: and subscriptions sold or operated by any entity, including FLOC,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Motorola and Axon. New polling in the race for Senate
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: shows a big swing between rural and urban parts of
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the state.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: In big blue cities, polling shows the race is neck
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: and neck. But in rural Texas, the GOP's Ken Paxton
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: is killing it.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: There's some diehard Democrats out there, but, you know, they're
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: fewer every election.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller says the ranchers he speak
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: with feel like they're ignored by Democrats who rarely campaign
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: in the country. A new poll out this week shows
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Paxton up 34 points in rural Texas. In San Antonio,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Michael Board, TSN News.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: The FBI says North Korea has been making money off
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: American companies to fund weapons programs.
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: It sounds like the makings of a spy novel, but
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: the FBI says this really happened. North Korean operatives posed
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: as American technology workers using stolen identities to land remote jobs.
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: Employers then shipped computers to North Korean accomplices here in Texas.
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: They allowed foreign agents to log in remotely, do the
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: work from overseas, and collect the paychecks. The FBI says
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: nearly a billion dollars was sent back to North Korea
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: to fund weapons programs there. The FBI says they seized
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: about 187 computers statewide. More arrests could be coming. Russell Scott,

• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I'm Will Welch, 1620-945-WTAW.
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: For everyone out there looking for a job or trying
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: to find a different career, don't think about that story
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: too much.
• 3:06
  Speaker 7: No. No.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: It's easier to get hired if you're a North Korean spy.
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: The North Korean spies found work. They didn't have any problems.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: They're an industrious people.
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: The North Korean spies were... Dude, their first draft picks
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: right there.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what.
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: We sent them a billion dollars.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: And a billy.
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: Well, see, North Korea, this is... I don't know how
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: much we'll dive into this because we're not really... I mean,
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: it's a pretty dorky topic, but... North Korea has gotten
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: real good at scamming. They've become the master grifters of
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: the entire world.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: They are so far above that Nigerian prince, it's not
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: even funny.
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they are thinking in levels that the best grifters
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: here in America will never attain for probably a decade.
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: They are that far ahead. And it's making them all rich.
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: Because they can't do anything.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Not all of them. One of them.
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: One of them is getting very rich. He was already
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: eating pretty good anyway.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the rest of them are eating paper, but that's
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: all right.
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: But that's one of the things people, you kind of
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: tend to forget about North Korea unless they're having a,
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: Like having a spiral moment where they're just freaking out
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: about something.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, where Rocket Man will want to throw something. I'm
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: going to go test something. I'm going to go threaten somebody.
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: He kind of shut up and then just sat over
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: there and found ways to con people out of like
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: all kinds of cash. And it's doing really well. And
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: no one really notices until you end up losing a
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: billion dollars.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: A billion.
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: To a few of them. Hey, how much were you
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: paying these who, where do you find these jobs?
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Here's what I just, cause you know, we're the idea
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: show on top of being the info show.
• 4:54
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: We always come up with the great ideas. If I
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: was North Korea now, what I would do is I
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: would open up a business to punch up other people's resumes.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Cause obviously they're really good at it.
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: They're so good.
• 5:04
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: I would, man, would I pay a North Korean spy
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: to doctor my resume? And get me a second job.
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: I'd probably... If it's that kind of job, I'd... Remote work?
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: It didn't seem like there was a lot of work
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: that went into it other than just, you know, go
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: ahead and activate that computer on Texas soil so they
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: can pay you.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Who knows?
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: Good Lord.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: And who knows what else they were doing with those
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: same computers that were given to them by whatever company.
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: You know what? There was a.
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: Geez, this is from a few years ago, and I
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: probably need to look this up, but there was a
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: terrifying trend where law enforcement, I think it was NSA
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: or DHS or some federal law agency, started raiding buildings
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: that were basically just gigantic cell phone tower banks where
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: they just have a million cell phones. in like active
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: in these rooms. And there was, I'll find this, but
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: there was, it was linked to the idea that there
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: are new threats that are out there and new scams
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: that some of our, our foes across the world are
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: running that we, again, that we're just not aware of
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: because they are thinking in a very advanced way, technology
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: wise about how to get our data, which is very
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: valuable to them. How to break infrastructure, how to take
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: down cell phone.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Networks, right? Yeah, the infrastructure thing scares me to death.
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: And it's bonkers, and you rarely think about it. But yeah, like,
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: especially with North Korea, those guys are, they got real smart,
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: real quick. Like, they don't have enough food to eat,
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: but they, when they do eat, all they do is
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: think about hacking things.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: When you come up with that idea, the dear leader
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: will give you a chocolate.
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: The dear leader will toss you some scraps for sure.
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: He'll let you live an extra month and a half
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: if you can give him a solid grift on the states. Today, sunny,
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: no chance of rain. Yeah, go figure. High of 91.
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: Not a big deal because tonight, getting down to a
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: low of 63. As it's cold the front season. Someone
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: posted a link that was, I think it was the Chronicle,
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: where they're like, hey, some parts of Texas could be
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: into the 20s. But they don't list it that way.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: They say.
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: 20-degree temperatures coming to Texas.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Got to splash the headline.
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: Hey, I'm okay in Dalhart. I don't know where y'all are,
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: but now it's just going to be in the 60s.
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: But Saturday night, it does keep getting colder. Saturday night,
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: we've officially got a low of 47. Welcome to fire
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: pit weather, folks. Get your fire pits, get your car hearts,
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: and get ready. Because at least for Saturday and Sunday,
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: we are going to have a little bit of fall.
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: Might be the only fall we get.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Packing for Oxford, Mississippi, which I'm traveling this afternoon to
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: go see the Dodgers.
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: We're getting back to that later.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It's difficult to pack the winter gear in the carry-ons.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's not carry-on season.
• 8:19
  Speaker 10: No.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: And I can't fly out of Austin wearing the winter gear.
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: I mean, how much do you want to sweat? That's
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: the weather's brought to you by Malik's Service Company. The
• 8:28

  Speaker 6: I mean, I don't know. How miserable do you want
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: to be sitting in the Austin airport? And do you

• 12:38
  Speaker 18: Call us, too.
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: That works. I found the story I was looking for.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Did you?
• 12:44
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: So this goes back to last year. Actually, it was
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: almost a year ago where this happened. It was the
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: Secret Service, was the law enforcement agency that was involved
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: in this. And what happened is in New York City.
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry, I'm allergic to the Secret Service. They found
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: a massive Sim farm that was a big, a big deal.
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: If you don't know what a SIM farm is, it's
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: not what you're immediately thinking if you grew up in
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: the 90s because it was a great game. But this
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: is a SIM card farm. Telecommunications network hidden in an
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: apartment building. Over 100,000 active SIM cards and 300 SIM
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: server clustered around five locations. So it actually wasn't one.
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: It was five different buildings in New York City. The
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: illicit operation represented an unprecedented national security threat discovered on
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: American soil. Why would it be a national security threat
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: to have that many SIM cards? Well, if you turn
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: them all on at once, it crashes the network. Because again,
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: all of a sudden, you've got all of your cell
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: towers suddenly get overloaded by 300,000 people in this one area.
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: Nothing can work. Side benefit, spam.
• 14:04
  Speaker 20: Yes.
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: Believe it. If you ever wonder how you get that
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: many texts, it's things like this. The network was capable
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: of blasting out 30 million automated text messages per minute.
• 14:16
  Speaker 18: Wow.
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: It could theoretically text the entire population of the United
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: States in just 12 minutes.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: That's crazy.
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: That was one operation. If they turned it on, they could...
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: I mean, that's better than.
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: Those screamy alerts that your phone gets like they could
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: get the entire nation in 12 minutes.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Imagine what we don't know.
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: Yes, that's that was happy Halloween.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: You want to get scared? This is the way you
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: do it.
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: That was a publicly released news story.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: Multi-agency raid, which included the NYPD, DHS, the Office of
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: Director of National Intelligence, occurred yesterday. Right as 150 world
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: leaders were on their way to Manhattan for the 80th U.N.
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: General Assembly. So they had a bunch of dignitaries showing up.
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: Maybe we need to take a look around and see
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: what– oh, geez. It's a sim farm that could take
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: out the entire East Coast.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was probably just a piece of the puzzle
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: of what they were actually doing.

  Speaker 1: one time we ordered the mushrooms, and we went nuts

  Speaker 1: would always go back for the fried mushrooms at the hideaway.

  Speaker 1: Good morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm Will Welch. On
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: Tuesday night, WTAW and the Bryan College Station Chamber of
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Commerce held a candidate forum featuring candidates from many races.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Scott DeLucia asked the candidates for College Station Mayor about
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: their thoughts on affordable housing. Elizabeth Kuna says it's a
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: problem that will never go away.
• 31:11
  Speaker 21: Affordable housing is never going to be solved. We can
• 31:14
  Speaker 21: only do some things sometimes for some people.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: She thinks increasing the homestead exemption is a good start.
• 31:22
  Speaker 21: I would like to see the homestead exemption raised. They
• 31:24
  Speaker 21: said we can go up to 20%. We're sitting at five.
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: What does that do?
• 31:28
  Speaker 21: It incentivizes home ownership.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Bob Yancey is optimistic about the issue. He says a
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: root issue is out-of-control appraisals.
• 31:36
  Speaker 18: I can promise you that it can be improved. I
• 31:39
  Speaker 18: don't know about completely resolved, but it can definitely be improved.
• 31:42
  Speaker 18: When Christy and I bought our first house in Shenandoah
• 31:46
  Speaker 18: in College Station, we paid $ 75, 000 for it. If I
• 31:49
  Speaker 18: control for inflation, that house should cost $ 170, 000 instead. It's
• 31:54
  Speaker 18: on the rolls for $ 300, 000.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Scott also asked the candidates how they feel about the
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: city's ownership of Macy's.
• 32:02
  Speaker 18: It's a bad situation and an enduring, visible reminder that
• 32:07
  Speaker 18: a poor governmental decision was made.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Yancey says the city needs to find a way to
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: get out from under it.
• 32:14
  Speaker 18: I do believe the disposition of that asset has to happen,
• 32:17
  Speaker 18: and it has to happen soon.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Kuna says the purchase had led to big tenants coming
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: into the mall.
• 32:23
  Speaker 21: It's easy to look back and say, oh, that was
• 32:25
  Speaker 21: a terrible decision. But at the time, we had residents
• 32:28
  Speaker 21: whose drumbeat was, you've got to do something about the mall.
• 32:31
  Speaker 21: And so we did something. The upside of it is
• 32:35
  Speaker 21: that it kept stability at the mall. And so now
• 32:37
  Speaker 21: you have Murdoch's. Now you have Dave Buster's.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: You can hear from all the candidates at Tuesday's forum,
• 32:45

• 33:51
  Speaker 2: just because the price of diesel.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: Texas trucking consultant Joe Michael says this is having a
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: ripple effect. With fewer operators, it's more expensive to move goods.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: That means we'll see inflation for everything from groceries to
• 34:03

  Speaker 8: tax breaks and other incentives. Governor Abbott ordered a pause
• 34:43
  Speaker 8: on some data center approvals in August and proposed banning

• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Espinosa wants Hernandez to remain hospitalized until after the second surgery.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Because if the government did this to him, then they
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: must repair him. Because this is not only a damage
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: that can damage.
• 35:40
  Speaker 22: Him for the next few days, the next few months,
• 35:42

  Speaker 6: believe that brooklyn was still where the tough guys.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: Are at yeah i still have the mental picture of
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: new york the way it should be.
• 39:38
  Speaker 6: No dude it's hipsters that's what new york is a
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: new You're, like, thinking, like, Goodfellas.
• 39:43
  Speaker 25: Yeah.
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: Like, the mob. This New York? That's not New York anymore.
• 39:48
  Speaker 7: No.
• 39:49
  Speaker 6: Hadn't been New York for, like, ever.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah. A long time. I'm taking Kelly Clarkson over the
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: shop owner, but I would not take shop owner versus
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: John Gotti any day.
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: Now, we do have a Kelly Clarkson update, which I
• 40:01
  Speaker 6: will share with you before this. Kelly Clarkson, actually, the owner,
• 40:06
  Speaker 6: who would not sell her the bird, has now... Put
• 40:10
  Speaker 6: the bird up for sale. Do you know what his
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: price on the bird is?
• 40:13
  Speaker 16: No.
• 40:13
  Speaker 6: $ 15 million. $ 15 million. He wants $ 15 million for the bird.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: Now... $ 1.
• 40:20
  Speaker 6: Million going to the artist, and then $ 15, 000 to each
• 40:23
  Speaker 6: one of his employees who he says have been harmed
• 40:26
  Speaker 6: irreparably by Kelly Clarkson.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: And I quote, social warfare.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: I could have almost seen their side of it. I
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: was kind of in the middle on this. No longer.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: I am now Team Kelly.
• 40:39
  Speaker 6: Well, see, I'm not an either-or guy. I think he's
• 40:43
  Speaker 6: from Brooklyn, and he owns a toy shop that sells
• 40:47
  Speaker 6: automatons or whatever he calls it, like little robot things.
• 40:51
  Speaker 6: It's a toy shop for rich people, really rich people.
• 40:55
  Speaker 6: That's what it is. So he's going to be an
• 40:58
  Speaker 6: obnoxious little dweeb. That's absolutely what that guy's about. He's
• 41:02
  Speaker 6: not someone I'm going to hang out with. But again,
• 41:05
  Speaker 6: if you're Kelly Clarkson, I'm sorry. One of the things
• 41:09
  Speaker 6: that comes to millions of people thinking that you're the
• 41:15
  Speaker 6: ideal human and will do whatever you say. I get
• 41:22
  Speaker 6: nervous saying Taylor Swift when it comes to these things.
• 41:26
  Speaker 6: If you have that power, there is responsibility that is
• 41:28
  Speaker 6: attached to it.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: Well, T-Swizzle isn't going out and doing her own shopping,
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: number one. Number two, now here's something that my tinfoil
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: hat is screaming at me. I think that Kelly Clarkson
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: was recognized, and I think that dweeb running the toy
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: store up there. thinks that she was some conservative country
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: artist and she's from the South and by gum. No,
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: I think that had something to do with it.
• 41:52
  Speaker 6: It's from the South anymore.
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: She's like, she, those skinny Jean dorks up there.
• 41:58
  Speaker 6: No, no, I'm telling you, I do the right thing
• 42:00
  Speaker 6: and apologize and be the good, be the good guy.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: No, I think silence is the absolute.
• 42:05
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: Cause let this guy destroy himself. Well, he's going to
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: be a blip on the radar.
• 42:09
  Speaker 6: If you end up in New York city and stewing
• 42:12
  Speaker 6: over that or, or anything else, you won't be able
• 42:16
  Speaker 6: to take a horse-drawn carriage ride anymore.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: This is, I mean, on a list of things that
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: New York City has done that is stupid, this one
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: falls right under electing Mondami.
• 42:27
  Speaker 6: So what is the... Now, see, I remember this from
• 42:32
  Speaker 6: when they did it in San Antonio. And I was...
• 42:37
  Speaker 6: I'm iffy on it in general, and there's a reason
• 42:40
  Speaker 6: for that. But again, mayor and city council reached a
• 42:44
  Speaker 6: deal on legislation in New York City to ban the
• 42:47
  Speaker 6: entire industry. Just getting them all out of there. It's
• 42:52
  Speaker 6: not going to happen. Now, here they are talking about it.
• 42:55
  Speaker 9: We have a civic responsibility to ensure that we are
• 42:59
  Speaker 9: not leaving anybody out to dry. Over the course of
• 43:01
  Speaker 9: this entire conversation, I have always spoken about the importance
• 43:05
  Speaker 9: of taking care of the workers in this industry. When
• 43:07
  Speaker 9: it comes to the horses, I don't think the vision
• 43:09
  Speaker 9: is that the horses would then continue to perform this
• 43:13
  Speaker 9: kind of work elsewhere. There have been a lot of
• 43:15
  Speaker 9: different proposals that have been forward, whether it's sanctuary, whether
• 43:19
  Speaker 9: it's then being taken in by farms, things of that nature.
• 43:22
  Speaker 9: That's everything we're going to be investigating.
• 43:24
  Speaker 6: I hate to tell you this. They're just going to
• 43:26
  Speaker 6: put the horses down.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: They are.
• 43:27
  Speaker 6: So that's my thing. This usually comes from two places.
• 43:30
  Speaker 6: In San Antonio, when they did this, it was an
• 43:33
  Speaker 6: animal welfare. They're all these poor horses.
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, these horrible animals that were bred for centuries to work.
• 43:38
  Speaker 6: Poor horses.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: That's what they love to do.
• 43:40
  Speaker 6: Those horses have it real good, man. I'm not saying
• 43:43
  Speaker 6: that you would feel like that, but those horses, as
• 43:47
  Speaker 6: it goes, those are pretty well cared for horses. Getting
• 43:53
  Speaker 6: rid of them, they don't go to sanctuaries often. Because
• 43:56
  Speaker 6: who's going to pay for the sanctuary? They don't go
• 43:59
  Speaker 6: to a farmer because who's going to pay for the
• 44:02
  Speaker 6: farmer to take care of the horse? Having a horse
• 44:04
  Speaker 6: is like thousands of dollars a month.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like having a boat.
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: It's so expensive. You think golf is a rich man's sport?
• 44:10
  Speaker 6: It's horses. Horses are the rich man's sport. The reason
• 44:16
  Speaker 6: this happened is I guess one of the horses freaked
• 44:19
  Speaker 6: out and someone was thrown out of a carriage and died.
• 44:21
  Speaker 6: Horrible story. But that said... Like, yeah, if you're thinking
• 44:25
  Speaker 6: that this is an animal welfare thing or whatever, this
• 44:28
  Speaker 6: is absolutely not good for the horses. Do not be fooled. Like,
• 44:32
  Speaker 6: absolutely horrible.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know what the driving force is behind this,
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: but all I know is that the outcome is that you're...
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: And in San Antonio, it's one thing. Horse-drawn carriage rides
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: in New York City are iconic. Yeah, they are. I mean,
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: that is part of what makes the Big Apple the
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: Big Apple.
• 44:48
  Speaker 6: Now, I will say this. If you've had to deal
• 44:53
  Speaker 6: with horse-drawn carriage rides before, they have several different venues.
• 44:57
  Speaker 6: They suck. I don't like them. They're really not fun.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: Took a really cold one in Fort Worth about a
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: decade ago.
• 45:03
  Speaker 6: Oh, Lord. Yeah, it's just you don't.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you get done with that and you're like, why
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: did I pay that much for that?
• 45:09
  Speaker 6: You pay big money. Usually it's not a great smell environment.
• 45:13
  Speaker 6: You think it's going to be all romantic. It's just some.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: Look, there's a lot of reasons.
• 45:17
  Speaker 6: Cars screaming by you.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of reasons why the automobile replaced the horse. Yes,
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: there is. Stank is one of them.
• 45:24
  Speaker 6: Yes, there is. All right, we got to take a break.
• 45:26
  Speaker 6: We'll be back.
• 45:28
  Speaker 20: Hi, this is Neal Sperry, and I'll be back with
• 45:30

• 46:06
  Speaker 20: Mostly I talk about plants here. This is, after all,
• 46:09
  Speaker 20: a gardening program. So why would rocks and stones enter
• 46:12
  Speaker 20: our picture? Well, it's because they're some of the most
• 46:14
  Speaker 20: important elements of a good landscape design. They're also some
• 46:18
  Speaker 20: of the most functional tools in our gardens. Stones add
• 46:21
  Speaker 20: appeal to the landscape. I'll prove it right after this message.

• 47:26
  Speaker 20: You need to visit a nearby stone yard. You're in
• 47:29
  Speaker 20: for a real treat. You'll see flagstones and ledge stones.
• 47:33
  Speaker 20: You'll find small river rock and giant landscaping boulders. You'll
• 47:37
  Speaker 20: find all kinds of rocks and boulders and stones. If
• 47:40
  Speaker 20: you're like the rest of us, your mind will run
• 47:42
  Speaker 20: wild with ideas. I have some tips to help you
• 47:45
  Speaker 20: make the best possible purchases. First of all, you want
• 47:48
  Speaker 20: your stonework to look like it belongs in its surroundings.
• 47:52
  Speaker 20: Choose types that are natural to your area. Look at
• 47:55
  Speaker 20: what types of stones others in your neighborhood have used
• 47:57
  Speaker 20: and make note of how they've used them. Since much
• 48:00
  Speaker 20: of Texas is built atop rock, there is stone for
• 48:03
  Speaker 20: almost any part of the state that will look right
• 48:05
  Speaker 20: at home. Take accurate measurements. Because of his experience, your
• 48:09
  Speaker 20: stone dealer will probably be able to translate 22 feet
• 48:12
  Speaker 20: of a 16-inch retaining wall into a specific number of
• 48:16
  Speaker 20: tons of stone. He'll know to figure 15% extra for waste.
• 48:20
  Speaker 20: You have to cut and fit the stones after all,
• 48:23
  Speaker 20: so not all of them will be perfect matches. Take
• 48:25
  Speaker 20: photos to help him make the best possible recommendations. That
• 48:29
  Speaker 20: would be of types of stones and the look of
• 48:31
  Speaker 20: your home and its surroundings, things that you like. Place
• 48:34
  Speaker 20: your stones carefully, both for stability and safety, and also
• 48:38
  Speaker 20: to keep from overdoing a good thing. Stones are quite prominent.
• 48:42
  Speaker 20: They're visually heavy. If you get too many of them,
• 48:44
  Speaker 20: they'll overpower your landscape. Some people use cardboard boxes or
• 48:48
  Speaker 20: lightly wadded newspapers to determine the best placement for their stones.
• 48:53
  Speaker 20: It's a lot easier to move newspapers or boxes than
• 48:55
  Speaker 20: it is to shift boulders later. If you're unsure of
• 48:59
  Speaker 20: how best to fit and place the stones into walls
• 49:01
  Speaker 20: and walkways, landscape contractors can do that work for you.
• 49:05
  Speaker 20: In fact, your stone vendor will have a list of
• 49:07
  Speaker 20: the people that buy from him, and you'll be able
• 49:10
  Speaker 20: to get good referrals that way. Now with the tips
• 49:13
  Speaker 20: out of the way, let's consider some of the ways
• 49:14
  Speaker 20: we use rocks and stones in our gardens. How about
• 49:17
  Speaker 20: retaining walls? They require flat stones of a fairly uniform thickness.
• 49:21
  Speaker 20: This is one of the more challenging aspects of masonry
• 49:24
  Speaker 20: I have found anyway in my.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: Life but it works beautifully.
• 49:27
  Speaker 20: Security walls are even more challenging. You still have to
• 49:30
  Speaker 20: cut and fit the stones but you also have to
• 49:32
  Speaker 20: mortar them in place carefully. Good masons do it with
• 49:35
  Speaker 20: a minimum of oozing mortar. Amateur masons on the other
• 49:38
  Speaker 20: hand like me They ought to be discouraged from trying
• 49:40
  Speaker 20: this without help. Walks and landscape boulders, river rock, those
• 49:45
  Speaker 20: are always Wii U stones. They're terrific in the landscape.
• 49:49
  Speaker 20: I'm Neal Sperry. My favorite plants in our next Plant
• 49:52
  Speaker 20: Talk Texas. Until then, happy gardening.
• 49:55
  Speaker 12: This is Brian Mayer, Bobby Gutierrez. I've spent my life
• 49:58
  Speaker 12: in business, and I brought the same mindset to City Hall.
• 50:00
  Speaker 12: When someone wants to invest in Brian, create jobs, expand
• 50:03

• 50:06
  Speaker 12: to help find solutions, not create roadblocks. It's called working
• 50:10
  Speaker 12: at the speed of business. That approach is helping create
• 50:12
  Speaker 12: real momentum across Brian, and we're competing. We're growing, and
• 50:16
  Speaker 12: we're getting things done. I'm Bobby Gutierrez, and I'd be
• 50:18

  Speaker 6: WTAW, the Info Maniacs. Good morning, guys. I want to
• 51:50
  Speaker 6: get back to the horse-drawn carriage band in New York. Because, again,
• 51:54
  Speaker 6: I get it. I get it. No one feels good
• 51:58
  Speaker 6: about that. watching those things hauling around. I do. It
• 52:02
  Speaker 6: doesn't bother me.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, they get snacks. People give them carrots.
• 52:07
  Speaker 6: I wanted to get to this before we had to
• 52:09
  Speaker 6: move on to other things. Infomaniacs, good morning. You said
• 52:12
  Speaker 6: you had a follow-up to the horse story, right?
• 52:15
  Speaker 19: Yeah, when I heard it, it made me think of
• 52:17
  Speaker 19: an old Andy Griffith show. And one time there was
• 52:20
  Speaker 19: a milkman who delivered all the milk on a horse-drawn carriage.
• 52:25
  Speaker 19: and everything was fine. Well, one day the company thought
• 52:27
  Speaker 19: he could be more efficient if he used a regular vehicle.
• 52:31
  Speaker 6: Right, a truck. And they repaired the horse.
• 52:33
  Speaker 19: So he went out to pasture, and he wouldn't eat.
• 52:36
  Speaker 6: They thought he was sick.
• 52:37
  Speaker 19: He was grumpy. He wouldn't do anything. And they go,
• 52:41
  Speaker 19: what's wrong with him? And finally they figured out, oh,
• 52:44
  Speaker 19: he misses his work. So they attached him to the
• 52:50
  Speaker 19: back of the vehicle, And the vehicle would drive real slow,
• 52:54
  Speaker 19: and the horse would follow, thinking he was still working.
• 52:56
  Speaker 19: And then he was happy again and started eating and
• 52:58
  Speaker 19: being a normal horse. But once they retired him, he
• 53:01
  Speaker 19: was miserable.
• 53:01
  Speaker 6: I'm telling you, they're like us. When they don't have
• 53:05
  Speaker 6: anything to do, that's when they get to be problems
• 53:09
  Speaker 6: in the pasture.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 53:11
  Speaker 6: They need something to do.
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: Here's the analogy, the working dog.
• 53:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a working animal, Will.
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you have a working dog that's not working,
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: you've got a problem.
• 53:21
  Speaker 6: You have holes in your wall at that point.
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 53:23
  Speaker 6: You don't have a yard anymore. No. You have a trench.
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: People who don't understand animals don't get that. They think, oh,
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: my God, this is slave labor.
• 53:32
  Speaker 17: No.
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: This is what these animals do.
• 53:34
  Speaker 6: Thank you so much for the call. Yeah, so that
• 53:37
  Speaker 6: is the update on... Little Town Blue. I'm down East
• 53:40
  Speaker 6: New York.

• 53:47

• 53:53
  Speaker 1: Place yeah you'll never catch me there never.
• 53:58
  Speaker 6: It's it is I don't understand living there and I've
• 54:03
  Speaker 6: had family members that live there and I'm always like
• 54:06
  Speaker 6: they'll always I know it was a great time seriously
• 54:08
  Speaker 6: it was fun it was I spent like, you know, $ 10, 000
• 54:12
  Speaker 6: a month in rent, and I had to walk everywhere,
• 54:14
  Speaker 6: and the subway smelled like a toilet.
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: They're rats the size of dogs.
• 54:19
  Speaker 6: You know you can live here. Like, it's a place
• 54:23
  Speaker 6: you can dwell.
• 54:24
