• 0:22
  Speaker 1: in Austin yesterday, he warned of the dangers of releasing
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: rumors instead of facts.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: People moving too quickly and moving making assumptions that might

  Speaker 2: be there in their own heads, what they end up
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: doing is they enhance the fear. They enhance something being wrong,

  Speaker 1: fully closed from the Stadium View southern exit to south

  Speaker 3: The military says 300 drones have been defeated along the U.S.
• 2:45

• 2:49
  Speaker 3: officials have reported a 75 percent decrease in detections of
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: those cartel-linked drones here along the southern border in the
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Rio Grande Valley since that high-energy laser was deployed at
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: the end of August.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: The counter-drone push is being attributed to a rise in

• 5:53
  Speaker 7: over the news, per usual, but in this last week,
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: it's been kind of crazy. I would love to know
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: what's going on up there, but it seems like everyone
• 5:59
  Speaker 7: has a very serious concern that it's going to end
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: the world. I would just say to you guys, as
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: a broadcaster, someone that uses his voice for a living,
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: shrug shoulders first time.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: Here's why. We've all been waiting for AI to replace
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: us at this job for forever.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And for somebody my age and those who are
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: a little bit older and some who are a little
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: bit younger, we've been dealing with the world is going
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: to end at X time for quite some time now.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: And at this point, we really just don't care. Go ahead.
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: Well, you'll care about this one. So are you familiar
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: with what a Tilly Norwood is?
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: A Tilly Norwood?
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Tilly Norwood was an AI actress.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: So they're trying to, you know, hey, you can put
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: Tilly Norwood in movies. Like, wouldn't that be great?
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I am familiar with it now, yeah.
• 6:56
  Speaker 7: Piers Morgan was interviewing her, at which time at some
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: point the AI glitched and she decided to start speaking
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: in Cantonese. Are the other actors real actors or are
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: they computer-generated images?
• 7:08
  Speaker 8: They're all digital twins, just like me.
• 7:11
  Speaker 9: Why would that be that?
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: Tilly, if I could just ask you a question.
• 7:18
  Speaker 10: You suddenly seem to be speaking Chinese completely randomly for
• 7:21
  Speaker 10: no reason.
• 7:21
  Speaker 11: Why did you do that?
• 7:23
  Speaker 12: Oh, my apologies.
• 7:24
  Speaker 8: It seems I had a little hiccup there.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: I certainly didn't mean to start speaking Chinese or impersonate peers.
• 7:29
  Speaker 8: Sometimes my wires get a bit crossed.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 7:31
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Sometimes, yeah.
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: Sometimes they do that.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's happened to me. I've suddenly broken out into Mandarin.
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: You can't.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Just, yeah.
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: Let's take it to the universe of radio. This is
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: a company, Intravision. It's like Spanish broadcasting in the West Coast.
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: And one of the bigger Spanish broadcasters in the world.
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: And they have got their very first AI co-host for
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: a morning show.
• 8:03
  Speaker 14: No.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: No.
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: This is just stored from NBC here.
• 8:06
  Speaker 15: Inside this Los Angeles studio, one of those voices isn't
• 8:10
  Speaker 15: a person.
• 8:10
  Speaker 16: Now that's what I'm talking about.
• 8:12
  Speaker 15: Meet Coyoteck.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Hey, NBC. I'm Coyoteck.
• 8:15
  Speaker 15: A bilingual AI-powered radio personality sharing the mic with veteran
• 8:19
  Speaker 15: host Gigi Guzman.
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: There's a picture of him, of them doing the little...
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: You know, she's pointing at him. He's like, oh, what
• 8:27
  Speaker 7: do I do? And this is a thing. They're expanding
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: it to full syndication this month.
• 8:32
  Speaker 17: The energy is definitely there.
• 8:34
  Speaker 15: But obviously, you know, I can't touch him.
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: But yeah, it's wild for sure. I will tell you
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: this right now. That woman who's saying it's wild and smiling,
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: that's a hostage video.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks like it.
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: That is a hostage situation. Someone check on her well-being.
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: because there's no one in this business that's going to
• 8:53
  Speaker 7: want to do that job.
• 8:54
  Speaker 15: Jokes, reacts, and switches between English and Spanish. We asked
• 8:58
  Speaker 15: him where he's from.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: What, no Chinese?
• 9:03
  Speaker 15: Coyotec first went on air last September on Entrevision's Spanish-language
• 9:07
  Speaker 15: Jose 97.5 in L.A. What started as a more scripted
• 9:11
  Speaker 15: robotic character has evolved, now using AI to respond on
• 9:15
  Speaker 15: his own.
• 9:16
  Speaker 7: It's crazy because Gigi and I, we just click.
• 9:19
  Speaker 15: Do you have passion for the community?
• 9:21
  Speaker 18: No.
• 9:21
  Speaker 15: Do you have passion for the community.
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: And you're not afraid to speak?
• 9:24
  Speaker 15: No.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: This is.
• 9:40
  Speaker 7: Yeah, this is not.
• 9:41
  Speaker 15: Listeners are responding.
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: The listeners ask for him and they want to see
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: him or they want to hear him.
• 9:45
  Speaker 7: That's a lie.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: And it's, yeah.
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: That is a blatant lie. That is a lie. No one.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: They might be curious.
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: They might think, hey, what is this freak show where
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: we're listening to that?
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Even if there is an initial, you know, spike, it's
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: going to add. I mean, come on. Yeah.
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: No, I that is my question is, is what? What,
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: are you getting results off of this?
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: Do people care?
• 10:11
  Speaker 15: Now the experiment is expanding.
• 10:14
  Speaker 20: It's about the signal reaching further.
• 10:16
  Speaker 16: It's about the community knowing we're there for them.
• 10:18
  Speaker 15: EntraVision is now bringing Gigi and Koyotec beyond.
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: It's about the community.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: It's all about the community. I care.
• 10:26
  Speaker 7: I care.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Including the member of the community that I took his job.
• 10:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I care about that person.
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I can do that. I can do this because I'm, yeah,
• 10:38
  Speaker 7: I'm here for all the right reasons.
• 10:39
  Speaker 15: Los Angeles to several markets across its Fuego network with
• 10:43
  Speaker 15: a bilingual format. When we asked Coyote what makes him
• 10:46
  Speaker 15: better than a human.
• 10:48
  Speaker 21: That's not how I see it, Amber.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: I'm not better than a human host.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: I'm different.
• 10:52
  Speaker 9: The future really is not about using AI.
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: Why is it? Why does he sound like he's lying
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: to me? Why does he sound like he's actively deceiving me?
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Well, because it doesn't have a soul!
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: All right, let's go back to the suit and then
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: we'll move on.
• 11:07
  Speaker 9: The future really is not about using AI to replace
• 11:10
  Speaker 9: human beings.
• 11:11
  Speaker 21: It's not.
• 11:11
  Speaker 12: It's about giving storytellers a better tool to tell better stories.
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: My dude! You're literally replacing someone with him. What are
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: you talking about?
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I was unaware of the unbelievable depths of grossness that
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: AI would go to in this pool of spin.
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: Bill Holland. What about Craig Ferguson and his robot skeleton co-host?
• 11:33
  Speaker 7: I was like, no, no, no, no. We're not. No,
• 11:36
  Speaker 7: these aren't ventriloquists. This isn't a ventriloquist gag.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like our friend, the rabbit, Tony,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: the rabbit was AI.
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: Tony, the rabbit is real.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: He's real, right?
• 11:47
  Speaker 7: I need to put him back on your microphone.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: He's moving.
• 11:49
  Speaker 7: He's here. Anyway, just, uh, just to let you guys know.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: So have you got, have you heard that they're trying
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: to rename the AI?
• 11:55
  Speaker 7: I have not.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: So this has come down from the president, right? He's
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: jumped into the debate.
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: The name artificial intelligence is not a great fit, according
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: to some, including the president.
• 12:05
  Speaker 7: Yes, because it's scary.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Many people think the words artificial intelligence are inaccurate and
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: very ineloquent. That's what the president said. Okay, all right.
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: I like it.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: So he suggested a far more, you know, a betterest one.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Superior intelligence, extreme intelligence, or supreme intelligence?
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: Supreme? You think supreme intelligence?
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: There's a poll on X. It may or may not
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: be open until noon today. 225,000 people have chimed in. SI,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Supreme Intelligence, with 41% of the vote.
• 12:40
  Speaker 17: No! No!
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, that's Superior Intelligence. Supreme Intelligence is number two
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: with 30%. Extreme Intelligence at 27.8%. You don't like those.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: You've got Advanced Intelligence, American Intelligence, Sentiment Intelligence, Intelligence Amplification,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Mathematical Intelligence... From numerical derivi, yeah, that thing, acronym is MIND,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: or Unbound Super Intelligent Augmentation, or USA. I would like
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: to add, we should call it TWATKI, which, if you're
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: a prepper, you know this, is an acronym. It stands
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: for The End of the World As We Know It.
• 13:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we'll take, go back to the lab. Just a
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: little more brainstorming. We can dial this thing in.

  Speaker 1: Hello, Brazos Valley.
• 14:33
  Speaker 17: This is Brandon Eisman with Dean and Draper Insurance. I
• 14:37
  Speaker 17: don't know about you, but it seems to me that
• 14:38
  Speaker 17: inflation has really taken a bite out of our lives
• 14:41
  Speaker 17: over the last couple of years. It feels like everything
• 14:44
  Speaker 17: has increased, from groceries to vehicles and from property taxes to, yes, insurance.
• 14:50
  Speaker 17: And speaking of insurance, the cost of home and auto
• 14:53
  Speaker 17: insurance has risen more in the last two years than
• 14:55
  Speaker 17: I've witnessed in my career, and it's absolutely impacting our budgets.
• 14:59
  Speaker 17: It can be very frustrating. At Dean & Draper Insurance,
• 15:03
  Speaker 17: we can't promise to solve the inflation problem, but we
• 15:06
  Speaker 17: can shop several high-quality insurance companies to provide you with
• 15:09
  Speaker 17: a competitive solution tailored to your specific needs. So if
• 15:13

• 16:16
  Speaker 7: How's your tea this morning, Will?
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: It was good. I actually just finished it off. I
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: may have gone a little heavy on the honey this morning,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: but if you're going to go heavy on something.
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: Have you ever heard of Alani New?
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Alani New.
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: Alani New.
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: No.
• 16:30
  Speaker 7: It's an energy drink. Does that ring any bells?
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: No. I mean, I'm aware of energy drinks.
• 16:35
  Speaker 7: No, no, no. But Alani New.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: No, no.
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: So this Saturday, we're going to do... Actually, not even yesterday.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: We're up early.
• 16:42
  Speaker 7: No, it was yesterday.
• 16:43
  Speaker 22: Okay.
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: And my wife's like, hey, when you stop by the
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: gas station, do you get an energy drink?
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, cool.
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: And she knows, and I'm probably just going to go
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: grab a Red Bull. Like, no, no, I need an
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: Alani Nu. I don't understand the words you're telling me.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Is that Klingon?
• 16:59
  Speaker 7: Can you spell it for me?
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: And she did.
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: And so I went and got this energy drink, and
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: I got one for myself. And I gave it to her,
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: and I said, hey, where did you hear about this?
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: And she's like, oh, the kids are super into it.
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: Kids are really into it. Lonnie New is the new
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: big thing. And all I can say is that I
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: have never tasted anything like that in my life. It's
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: just shocking. I literally had to pull the car over
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: the side of the road because I was like, who
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: drinks this? And the answer is, after doing some research, oh,
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: it is the kids. The kids are hoovering this stuff.
• 17:41
  Speaker 7: So Ghost... Alani knew, obviously Prime, I think, is the
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: big one that a lot of people have seen, to
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: the point where the El Paso School District has banned
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: all energy drinks. Did you know about this?
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: I knew that El Paso School District had done that.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: I know that in College Station schools, you cannot have
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: energy drinks anymore. You have to actually, well, I mean,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: the kids will, of course, have them before school, and
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: all of them are carrying around their emotional support mugs.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Nobody's checking what's in the mug.
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly. You fill the mug. As you can see here, Will,
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: I have two cans right here.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: Of Alani Nu.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: That one says cherry slush on it.
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: Yes, I have one here. Go ahead. Here we go. And, oh,
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: there's no way for me to describe this to you
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: without having you taste it. 200 milligrams of caffeine per,
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: they say.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Zero sugar.
• 18:32
  Speaker 7: Kids are drinking up to five of these in high school, which,
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: by the way, I don't even know how much coffee
• 18:38
  Speaker 7: that translates to. But, yeah, basically one can is like
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: two or three cups of coffee. And the Lampasas decided
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: to step in and get involved when their nurse visits
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: from students went up 1,000% due to heart palpitations, trouble breathing.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: And you're giving this to me this morning.
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: I'm saying you don't have to. Will, you're not going
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: to drink the whole thing because there's no way you
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: could drink the whole thing. You will see what I'm
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: saying right about now. So this is Cherry Slush Alani New. Will,
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: go ahead. See how that hits you.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: It's got kind of a smell of almost like a
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: cream soda.
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: For what it's worth, I have not tried the Cherry Slush,
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: so this is going to be new for me, too.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: It's got a very chemical sweet taste on the end
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: of it.
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: I'm surprised.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: The legs are still standing there.
• 19:35
  Speaker 7: I was expecting more of a twitch from you.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Was it the tart you were expecting? Because the tart's
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: coming on. It's not horrible. It's just, it's overly sweet
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: for me, even though it's zero sugar. that see it
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: kind of tastes on the back end like a sweet
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: tart how would you how.
• 19:54
  Speaker 7: Would you drink three of these in a day i
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: i couldn't i can't like i that is that is
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: the that is the sweetest It claims there's no sugar in.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: This, by the way. Well, which means it's artificially sweetened
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: with things that'll make you grow a third eye.
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: Text messages, 979-695-16.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: My daughter would not like this, by the way.
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: Adults just drink the Costco version. Joshua says these things
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: are expensive as well. Mike really appreciates your emotional support mugs.
• 20:22
  Speaker 7: That is what they are.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: It's absolutely what those are. My youngest would not touch this,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: and probably my oldest wouldn't as well, just because it's
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: overly sweet.
• 20:30
  Speaker 23: God.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: When I need to grab the energy, I go for
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: the five-hour energy shot just because volume. It's a shot.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: I don't have to sip this whole can of crud.
• 20:43
  Speaker 7: The other thing that people are turning to, apparently, is
• 20:46
  Speaker 7: caffeine pouches.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I've seen it.
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: Same thing as the little nicotine pouches. Kids will just
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: mainline these things. They're saying that this is essential to
• 21:03
  Speaker 7: being able to power them through their day. It's like,
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: I cannot imagine.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: I was going through high school right now. I there. Yeah.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: I would be chugging anything.
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: That's what I, that's what I was going to ask you. Like,
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: is it, is it gotten to that point where you
• 21:17
  Speaker 7: have to have to have like basically rocket fuel?
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Many of them do. But the caffeine thing is not new.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: When I was in ROTC in the early 90s, we
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: would be out on FTX's field training exercises, and you
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: would actually take the coffee out of your MRE and
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: sprinkle it in your can of smokeless tobacco.
• 21:38
  Speaker 9: That's true.
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: I guess it's not really new.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: No, it's not really new.
• 21:43
  Speaker 7: And so, like, after some of this got around, like
• 21:48
  Speaker 7: people started, I think the state of Texas might even
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: filed a lawsuit at some point. I think it was
• 21:52
  Speaker 7: like Celsius is another one of the big ones. And
• 21:55
  Speaker 7: they're like, well, you're, you're marketing this to kids. This is,
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: this is a problem. The thing is that a lot
• 22:00
  Speaker 7: of the lawsuits say, well, you know, you can't say
• 22:02
  Speaker 7: that they just harm kids. I was like, wait a minute,
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: hold on.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: This is equally destructive for everybody.
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: So three is the magic number for, I guess, the
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: average user of these.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: When can I expect sweats and palpitations?
• 22:22
  Speaker 7: Any minute, Will, honestly.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: I am feeling a little more perturbed.
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: A little flushed, perhaps. I wanted to know, do any
• 22:30
  Speaker 7: of your kids drink these? Like, do you let your
• 22:33
  Speaker 7: kids drink these?
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Mine will grab one every so often, but we've given
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: her the knowledge. We're like, you know, look, these are
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: your choices. Trust me, I pay for choices every day
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: that I made when I was your age. You need
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: to understand what the risks are.
• 22:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah, does anyone have, I mean, because again, I am
• 22:48
  Speaker 7: curious to how many parents are just going to let
• 22:51
  Speaker 7: their kids just mainline this stuff, but apparently.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: It's a thing. My kid drives. She has money. How
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: can I tell her? I can give her the information.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: That's all I can do.
• 23:01
  Speaker 7: 979-695-1620 if you want to weigh in. It's vegan, Will.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Is it really?
• 23:09
  Speaker 7: Sorry, I just looked at this. It's vegan, gluten-free, and
• 23:12
  Speaker 7: full of Bio10, B6, and B12. B12' s my favorite. I
• 23:17
  Speaker 7: already have a headache. I'm like four drinks in, and
• 23:23
  Speaker 7: my head hurts.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: That's the vegan in it. Be better with some bacon.
• 23:29
  Speaker 7: Back after this.
• 23:29

• 25:11
  Speaker 18: On this Monday, I'm thinking about the city of Los Angeles.
• 25:20
  Speaker 18: It's estimated that $ 700 million of federal funding a year
• 25:23
  Speaker 18: goes to L.A. And that means people who live in Maine, Arizona,
• 25:35
  Speaker 18: all over the place, are sending Los Angeles a fortune,
• 25:43
  Speaker 18: some of it to deal with the homeless problem, which
• 25:45
  Speaker 18: is getting worse. Now, Congress wants to talk to Mayor
• 25:49
  Speaker 18: Karen Bass. She doesn't want to talk to them. She
• 25:53
  Speaker 18: claims she cannot attend any hearing because of her so-called
• 25:58
  Speaker 18: busy schedule. I guess that's spending money. Wait until the
• 26:04
  Speaker 18: facts come out on this story. It's going to make
• 26:07
  Speaker 18: Minnesota fraud look like shoplifting a candy bar. This is
• 26:13
  Speaker 18: a massive fraud of taxpayer money out there in L.A.
• 26:19
  Speaker 18: I talk about it in my new book, Confronting America.
• 26:22
  Speaker 18: You simply can't have a money machine flowing into these
• 26:27
  Speaker 18: states that are incapable of of overseeing it. And California
• 26:34
  Speaker 18: is the worst. They need to drag Mayor Bass before Congress.
• 26:42
  Speaker 18: We're talking about a lot of taxpayer money. This is
• 26:46
  Speaker 18: truly a scandal that is growing. Back in a moment.

• 29:56
  Speaker 1: in ICE enforcement in their city.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: I think in one week we saw it go from
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: kind of on one hand to in the 30s, and
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: that happened in less than a.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Couple of days. The identity of the agent has not
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: been released. A shoplifter is facing a lot more than
• 30:13

  Speaker 1: The busiest port on the southern border for livestock inspections,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: which is near El Paso, is back open. Ag Secretary
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Brooke Rollins says this is part of a phased reopening.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: as cases of an invasive flesh-eating fly are on the decline.
• 32:18
  Speaker 9: We have contained, we're not yet at eradication, so I
• 32:22
  Speaker 9: want to make sure everyone understands that.
• 32:23
  Speaker 14: We have two active cases.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Rollins admitted that closing the port created financial challenges for
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: the Texas agriculture industry. But now that it's reopening, she
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: says it will help ease pressure on the cattle supply
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: and that, in turn, will bring down beef prices. The
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Texas Department of Transportation is halting flock camera permits on
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: state roads as lawmakers call for tougher abuse penalties.
• 32:46

• 32:49
  Speaker 26: license plate reader cameras such as ones made by flock
• 32:52

• 32:55
  Speaker 26: in use. State Senator Charles Perry of Lubbock tells KXAN
• 32:59
  Speaker 26: he wants stronger misuse consequences for cops like termination and
• 33:02
  Speaker 26: civil liability.
• 33:04
  Speaker 17: It is incumbent. that they are punished, not internally to
• 33:08
  Speaker 17: a point where nobody knew, but externally where the public
• 33:12
  Speaker 17: can gain trust and confidence.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Eric Lankham, TSN News. The suspension also applies to cameras
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: approved but not yet installed. Big changes are happening at
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: state colleges. The A & M Board of Regents recently
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: made changes to classes that qualify as credit for core
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: curriculum requirements. More schools around the state are now following suit.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Most of the classes dropped deal with race, gender, and sexuality.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Sherry Sylvester with the Texas Public Policy Foundation says this
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: is what lawmakers wanted.
• 33:42
  Speaker 22: What was important to the Texas.
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: Legislature is that students get a degree of value.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Sylvester points to studies showing that when race and gender
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: courses are not required, only a handful of students take them.

• 37:46
  Speaker 7: because I need a white cast.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: You're going to flush the system.
• 37:49
  Speaker 7: It doesn't get rid of the taste.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: No, it stays there.
• 37:51
  Speaker 7: It doesn't get rid of it. It's insane. We were
• 37:54
  Speaker 7: talking about Alani New because there was this whole, but
• 37:57
  Speaker 7: I mean, again, many of the school districts are in
• 38:01
  Speaker 7: the process or have already banned energy drinks. The average
• 38:05
  Speaker 7: kid that drinks these drinks like three a day.
• 38:07
  Speaker 13: Three a day?
• 38:08
  Speaker 12: No. Three?
• 38:09
  Speaker 14: How?
• 38:10
  Speaker 7: How do you taste anything after this? Again, I'll say, adults, please,
• 38:15
  Speaker 7: go to the store and buy one.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Just to see what your kid is drinking. Don't.
• 38:19
  Speaker 7: It's insane.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: Just take our word for it.
• 38:21
  Speaker 7: We were asking your experiences with your kids and energy drinks.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Jeanette.
• 38:27
  Speaker 7: Go ahead. Give me Jeanette.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Alani has been around for years. I tried it because
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: it seems healthier for an energy drink because it's sugar-free.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: I was stupid and bought the Sam's Club pack.
• 38:38
  Speaker 7: So you bought a pallet of Alani Dew.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: The overly sweet artificial sweeteners had me throwing up. Couldn't
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: drink them. Couldn't give them away fast enough. My young
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: adult kids didn't like them either. Really? This is what
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Tucker has brought to me this morning. I thought you
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: liked me.
• 38:56
  Speaker 7: There's not any way for me to describe how.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: It's god awful.
• 39:01
  Speaker 7: It's one of the worst drinks I've ever had in
• 39:03
  Speaker 7: my life.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Plus, now I'm searching the hallways for a defibrillator, and AED,
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not finding it.
• 39:11
  Speaker 7: You start to see sounds and taste colors.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It's a whole lot.
• 39:15
  Speaker 7: Wow. Amy texts in this morning that my daughter didn't
• 39:20
  Speaker 7: have her first soda until she was in high school.
• 39:23
  Speaker 7: She's now in college and is just now starting to
• 39:27
  Speaker 7: drink Monster. I've tried Alani 1. I feel it's very
• 39:31
  Speaker 7: salty tasting. Do you get anything about this that tastes salty?
• 39:38
  Speaker 7: Because that's fascinating.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Well, to be fair, it can destroy your taste buds
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: on contact. And some people may have a different taste
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: reaction to some of the chemicals that this thing contains.
• 39:52
  Speaker 7: That could be it. It could be frying your brain.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: It's like cilantro. Some people think it tastes like soap.
• 39:58
  Speaker 7: Man, wouldn't that be something if there's half people like, no,
• 40:00
  Speaker 7: it's really salt.
• 40:01
  Speaker 18: Oh, wow.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: It'd be crazy. Maybe we need a cilantro energy drink.
• 40:05
  Speaker 7: She says my poison of choice are the Celsius, which is,
• 40:11
  Speaker 7: I'm just going to leave those to you. uh let's
• 40:14
  Speaker 7: see what else do we have today well we were
• 40:16
  Speaker 7: talking a little bit about maybe maybe we're going to
• 40:22
  Speaker 7: need to figure out some method of making this tolerable
• 40:27
  Speaker 7: and and and You know, honestly.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, the first thing you come to grips with
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: of trying to make that taste good is what alcohol
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: can I add to it?
• 40:35
  Speaker 7: What can I use this to mix?
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: My initial reaction was that if you could put something
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: in this that would, you know, kind of back the
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: flavor off and then whatever you're adding to it, not
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: add any sweetness to it. So I thought maybe ice
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: and blend it so that you get that melt in
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: there a little bit. And then I was going to
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: go with the vodka. Okay.
• 40:57
  Speaker 7: Well, it's better than rum. You're not adding more sweetness
• 41:03
  Speaker 7: into it. Text message from Sam. We were in Afghanistan
• 41:06
  Speaker 7: having some bad weather, and our crew wasn't flying, so
• 41:11
  Speaker 7: we got bored and started a game of ripped pong.
• 41:14
  Speaker 7: Rips are the energy drink of choice for the U.S. military.
• 41:18
  Speaker 7: Y'all were playing pong with energy drinks?
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and apparently he says they were very protective that day.
• 41:23
  Speaker 7: Or productive. I'm not sure which that is.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 41:29
  Speaker 7: Well, that's one way to.
• 41:30
  Speaker 11: Go, Sam.
• 41:30
  Speaker 7: We're good.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: Everything's perfect.
• 41:31
  Speaker 7: We're fine. We got it. Everything's good here.
• 41:34

• 42:21
  Speaker 9: Did you know that some of the most influential people
• 42:24
  Speaker 9: in history suffered from learning disabilities? People like Leonardo da Vinci,
• 42:29
  Speaker 9: Thomas Edison, John Lennon, and a long list of others.
• 42:33
  Speaker 9: What enabled them to overcome their academic limitations was discovering
• 42:38
  Speaker 9: other areas of life where they were intelligent. Every parent
• 42:42
  Speaker 9: needs to answer the question, what does intelligence look like
• 42:45
  Speaker 9: in my child? Even if your child doesn't have an
• 42:48
  Speaker 9: actual learning disability, the ways in which he or she
• 42:51
  Speaker 9: thrives may not show up on a report card. Some
• 42:55
  Speaker 9: kids are wonderful artists or musicians, but they struggle with
• 42:58
  Speaker 9: math or sports. Some kids understand chemistry, and some kids
• 43:03
  Speaker 9: understand how to tear an engine apart. My colleague Paul
• 43:06
  Speaker 9: has two boys with dyslexia. Traditional schoolwork is difficult for them.
• 43:11
  Speaker 9: They struggle to process words and to read well. Paul
• 43:14
  Speaker 9: says that because of their academic limitations, some people underestimate
• 43:19
  Speaker 9: their abilities in other areas. Not all intelligence looks the same.
• 43:24
  Speaker 9: Look beneath the surface if your child's intelligence doesn't register
• 43:27
  Speaker 9: in ways.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: That you expect.
• 43:30
  Speaker 9: Understand your son or daughter in a deeper way. Look
• 43:33
  Speaker 9: at them with new eyes and discover where their strongest
• 43:36
  Speaker 9: abilities lie. Above all, Don't lose hope when a bad
• 43:39
  Speaker 9: grade leaves you doubting your child's abilities. Every child may
• 43:43
  Speaker 9: not be book smart, but every child is intelligent. To
• 43:47
  Speaker 9: help your child thrive, go to FocusOnTheFamily.com.

  Speaker 19: That's off to Kentucky. They came in here and they

• 46:22
  Speaker 19: And so on me, I own it. It's my program.

  Speaker 19: I'm in charge of it, and we have to get

  Speaker 19: they needed to go. You know, obviously they hit a
• 46:34
  Speaker 19: couple for sure where they just got, they beat us,
• 46:36
  Speaker 19: but felt like most of the ones in the second half,
• 46:39
  Speaker 19: it felt like we're, we're gimme's and you can't have
• 46:41
  Speaker 19: gimme's in this conference. And so, you know, we gotta,
• 46:44
  Speaker 19: we gotta figure out.
• 46:44
  Speaker 11: How to be better.
• 46:45
  Speaker 31: Coach Yelko also spoke about what the team needs to
• 46:48
  Speaker 31: do ahead of their first road game of the season.
• 46:51
  Speaker 19: Man up, you know, you figure out who you're about
• 46:53
  Speaker 19: in adversity. Everybody will quit on us. That's how this
• 46:56
  Speaker 19: thing works. It's never been about everybody. It's only been
• 46:59
  Speaker 19: about the people inside that locker room and the people
• 47:01
  Speaker 19: inside that locker room kind of make a decision about
• 47:03
  Speaker 19: how they want to come together and how they want
• 47:05
  Speaker 19: to move forward. And so it'll be a pivotal seven
• 47:07
  Speaker 19: days for us in terms of how we respond, how
• 47:10
  Speaker 19: we come back, how we prepare, and how we get
• 47:13
  Speaker 19: ourselves ready to go down to Baton Rouge and play
• 47:15
  Speaker 19: a really good football team.
• 47:16
  Speaker 31: Up next, the Aggies hit the road heading down to
• 47:18
  Speaker 31: the Bayou to take on LSU on Saturday night with
• 47:22
  Speaker 31: kickoff for the game set for 6 o'clock. In high
• 47:25
  Speaker 31: school football, Rudder beat Bryan 40-34. A & M Consolidated
• 47:30
  Speaker 31: came away with a 59-14 win over Glenn. College Station
• 47:34
  Speaker 31: barely lost in their game to the Wolves, falling 40-38.
• 47:38
  Speaker 31: Navasota beat Sterling 49-8. And Allen Academy lost 57-12 to
• 47:41
  Speaker 31: Logos Prep Academy. The 15th-ranked A & M volleyball team
• 47:48
  Speaker 31: downed the 20th-ranked Creighton in its second-ranked win of the
• 47:51
  Speaker 31: season yesterday afternoon. Head coach Jamie Morrison recapped the game.
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: I'm proud of our team.
• 47:57
  Speaker 12: I think we went into a hostile environment and played
• 47:59
  Speaker 12: against a really good volleyball team. They threw some wrinkles
• 48:01
  Speaker 12: at us, and I thought we responded well. And I
• 48:02
  Speaker 12: think we've just been in, I don't know, tough environments,
• 48:04
  Speaker 12: hostile environments against really good volleyball teams the entire time.
• 48:07
  Speaker 12: And I've always said whenever you're put in situations where
• 48:09
  Speaker 12: you have to grow, you're going to grow the fastest.
• 48:11
  Speaker 12: And I think this team's done that, whether it be, again,
• 48:13
  Speaker 12: playing a tough non-con schedule. We're not done with that yet.
• 48:16
  Speaker 12: We got Rice on Tuesday, or the second piece of it,
• 48:19
  Speaker 12: of making sure that we're playing in hostile environments and
• 48:21
  Speaker 12: battle-tested in that as well.
• 48:23
  Speaker 31: Up next, the Aggies return home for their final non-conference
• 48:26
  Speaker 31: game as they host Rice on Tuesday night with first
• 48:29
  Speaker 31: serve set for 6 o'clock. The Aggies soccer team was
• 48:32
  Speaker 31: on the losing end of a 5-0 decision against Vanderbilt
• 48:36
  Speaker 31: last Friday night. In the NFL over the weekend, the
• 48:39
  Speaker 31: Houston Texans lost 20-6 to the Cincinnati Bengals, while the
• 48:44
  Speaker 31: Dallas Cowboys beat the Washington Commanders 37-20. In the MLB

  Speaker 31: while the Texas Rangers fell 7-2 to the Toronto Blue Jays.

  Speaker 7: over the weekend on Friday. You got to christen the
• 51:05
  Speaker 7: brand-new complex at A & M Consolidated.
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we got to do the first game there of
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: the season in the brand-new stadium, the new press box.
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: It went off pretty well. I mean, you know, first game, right?
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: And the kids... Actually, one of the great things about
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: it is now the kids can do the in-game video stuff.
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: So they've got, you know, you can get down to
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: sideline cameras. You can do replays and things like that.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: And they're working all of that out. Once they get
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: that going on, it's going to be great. There were
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: a little bit of sound issues, as you might have.
• 51:36
  Speaker 7: Oh, there always are, yeah. I mean, it takes a
• 51:38
  Speaker 7: few weeks, but it looks gorgeous.
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: It's a very well-done stadium. It's not overblown. It's just
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: really nice. And talking to some of the staff and
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: admin up there, They've already got inquiries for playoff games,
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: just like we did last year with the new softball
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: facility over there.
• 51:55
  Speaker 7: We got two or three rounds of playoffs. I think
• 51:58
  Speaker 7: that's a really cool thing. You were showing me some
• 52:00
  Speaker 7: pictures of it, and we were talking about good pictures,
• 52:05
  Speaker 7: but you said you were having some issues with the
• 52:08
  Speaker 7: photographer that took those.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: Pictures yeah yeah he's a he's a great friend of
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: mine and he's he's been there through a lot of
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: things that i've needed him when i pick up the
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: phone he's he's there it's a wonderful thing uh however
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: he was over at the house yesterday because our house
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: is being currently decorated for a baby shower that we're
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: hosting this coming saturday so i'm wandering around between the
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: head you know there's like tinsel and stuff. I just,
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: it's everywhere. So I'm just trying to live there, but
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: we're hanging out watching some games while the wives are
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: doing their thing for the shower. And he is trying
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: to feed my dog Cheez-Its.
• 52:44
  Speaker 12: Yes.
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: My dog doesn't get people food.
• 52:46
  Speaker 7: Why does your dog not get people?
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: Because then the dog insists on getting in your face
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: every time you're eating and hovering around and being a
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: potential pain in the booties.
• 52:56
  Speaker 7: But Will, your dog is so cute. She's adorable.
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: She's so cute.
• 53:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 53:00
  Speaker 7: And there's nothing more fun than giving a good girl
• 53:04
  Speaker 7: a nice little treat.
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: I said, look, we have approved treats you can give her.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: She knows where those are located. You ask her if
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: she wants a treat. She'll go to the door. We
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: do not start handing the dog people food.
• 53:17
  Speaker 7: Why are you so militant about this, Will?
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: Because I do not want, number one, an overweight dog.
• 53:24
  Speaker 11: Ah, fair.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: Who's eating food that is not good for her. Yeah, yeah.
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: Number two, I don't want the little thing to expect
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: to get fed. From our plates.
• 53:33
  Speaker 7: Are all of the members of the Welch household on
• 53:36
  Speaker 7: the same.
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: On board. They're all on board.
• 53:39
  Speaker 7: There's not one or two of them that are like,
• 53:42
  Speaker 7: Dad's crazy.
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: Maybe the oldest daughter.
• 53:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: And look, if I'm making a taco and there's some
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: shredded cheese that falls on the countertop, I might knock
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: it onto the floor. But I'm not handing the dog
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: a Cheez-It.
• 53:58
  Speaker 7: I wanted to know because, again, Will is... Will is
• 54:02
  Speaker 7: definitively militant about this. Like, that dog is not getting Cheez-Its.
• 54:08
  Speaker 7: Not ever. Are any of you guys that hardcore when
• 54:12
  Speaker 7: it comes to people food for your dog?
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: I'm sure it is split.
• 54:17
  Speaker 7: We're a divided household, by the way. I will, at
• 54:21
  Speaker 7: any opportunity, give my dogs scraps. My wife, if she
• 54:26
  Speaker 7: sees me give the dogs scraps, is... Very much against it.
• 54:33
  Speaker 7: I'm team rain on this. Very much against it. And
• 54:36
  Speaker 7: I just, I just like, look, man, life is, I'm sure.
• 54:40
  Speaker 7: I'm sure life is hard for a dog. Just like
• 54:41
  Speaker 7: it's hard for the people.
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: Jason says Cheez-Its are not good for humans. You should
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: not feed them to dogs.
• 54:47
  Speaker 7: Well, Jason, dog treats can't possibly be that good for dogs.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, they are. By the way, the dog treats,
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: some of them that I have, also say on the
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: label fit for human consumption. So I'm going to start
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: giving those to my friend Chance.
• 55:01
  Speaker 7: Is that how you're going to, for every Cheez-It, you
• 55:05
  Speaker 7: have to consume one of these dog treats?
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: They look good. They smell good. They're blueberry. I don't know.
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: They're good. Hey, Adam texted in. We need to get
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: this out here. Yes, please. Apparently 1,500 energy customers in
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: Navasota without power. What? Including a lot of downtown. Estimated
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: 10 a.m. to have it back on.
• 55:20
  Speaker 7: Well, what's going on there? That's not good.
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: No idea. Not good at all. Good night. All right.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: I'll keep an eye on that.
• 55:25
  Speaker 7: Be aware. It's a bad day to not have any A.C.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: Monday going to Monday.
• 55:31
  Speaker 7: Monday is absolutely going to Monday. But, yes, for those
• 55:36
  Speaker 7: of you that are in the pet crowd, we would
• 55:38
  Speaker 7: love to hear from you. 979-695-1620. I'm just– don't ever
• 55:44
  Speaker 7: have me over to your house.
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: Look, if you come over and you start feeding my
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: dog cheesy poofs, we're going to have words.
• 55:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly. I mean, like, you know, again, like, she's
• 55:52
  Speaker 7: going to be looking at me.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: I even use the word please when I– because the
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: first time I said, Chance, don't do that.
• 55:58
  Speaker 7: You said please?
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: And he starts whining and moaning, oh, but she's so cute.
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: I was like, look. Please don't do that. And he said,
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: you said, please.
• 56:09
  Speaker 7: I don't think I've ever heard you say please either.
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: That's kind of extraordinary. That's how you know when he's
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: getting serious. Yeah.
• 56:18
  Speaker 7: When the please comes out.
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: You wouldn't like me when I'm polite.
• 56:20
  Speaker 7: All right, guys. Good morning. Thank you for being here.
• 56:26
  Speaker 7: It's Monday. Remember, if you have to get out of
• 56:29
  Speaker 7: your car and go into work, you can always stream
• 56:30
  Speaker 7: the show online. At WTAW.com. Some might say we sound
• 56:36
  Speaker 7: even a little better when we're coming through this. I
• 56:38
  Speaker 7: think we sound better when we're coming through this. My
• 56:40
  Speaker 7: voice is... I feel like that really makes the lows.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: Pop for me. Does it? Yeah, it does. It does.
• 56:48
  Speaker 7: You would have to weigh in on it, guys, but
• 56:49
  Speaker 7: you can do that, so feel free. Also, yeah, news
• 56:54
  Speaker 7: coming up right about now on 1620, 94.5 WTOW College Station, Brock.
