  Speaker 1: There was, little thing Has it been going on for
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: a minute? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: You might have heard a lot of commercials. You might
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: have seen a lot of commercials. Honestly, we're going to
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: hard skate the commercials. How do we want to tackle
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: this elephant? Do you want to do this multiple segments,
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: or do you want to try to... Because there's a lot.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: There were a lot of surprises, obviously. And then some very.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: I mean, very definitive results on the state and national level.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: There were not as many surprises in my mind as
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I think there were in others' minds. If you will
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: recall conversations that we've had leading up to this, I've
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: been very concerned about the fact that the Republicans are
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: running on no platform other than scare. They're running candidates
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: that are subpar in many races. And on top of that,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: if you've been governing for as long as you have
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: and you don't have a record to run on, what
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: are you doing?
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: A little bit challenging.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And look, Abbott alienated teachers.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Good old Lieutenant Governor Dan alienated a ton of people.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Ken Paxton may have been the worst candidate possible to
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: put up.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: I think it.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: I struggle to see how it took everyone so long
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: to figure out that he was exactly who he is. But, yeah,
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: that's a horrible idea.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Well, and on top of that, you and I have
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: talked about this as well. There was a reason why
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Republicans swept into office when they did. And that was
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: the fact that most of us were tired of being
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: called names.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Homophobic. You know, racist. And it was horrible. It was horrible.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, you can look. You can go back to
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: 2022 and you can see there was a very clear,
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: clear message that was sent to the presidential election that year.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: And that message was– and stop me if any of
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: this sounds familiar. You were tired of having people shove
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: their personal point of view down your throat.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: You were tired of that ending up in places like
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: your kids' schools. places like your workplace you're tired of
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: having to feel like you might be retaliated against or fired.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Tired of walking around on eggshells.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: Tired of that too uh you were tired of being
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: told that the economy is great when it didn't feel
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: great you were tired of a president whose weird kids
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: seem to be profiting all of the time and no
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: one would even acknowledge that that's funny i mean is
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: it sounding familiar to you because that was 2020 that
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: was the presidential election Yeah, I think it was a blowout.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Because of that. I think I think you hit it.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: But I think it's even it's it's simplified for me
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: on that. You had a pendulum that swang because it
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: was shoved from the left way far right. Yeah. And
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: now you have a pendulum that is swung very far
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: left because it was shoved by the right.
• 8:49
  Speaker 14: The the the thing.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: Is, when you when you walk into an election like
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: you did in 22, you get this really cool opportunity. of, hey,
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: this thing everyone hated, let's not do that.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: And as I illustrated, they decided to do the bizarro
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: version of everything that everyone hated and just come at
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: it from the other side. And as you said, Will
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: shoved it, shoved it in the other direction. And I
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: don't want to say that there weren't any really well-run campaigns.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: There were some Republican campaigns that were campaigns in general
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: by all the candidates at even the state level, which
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: were immaculate. And then there were some that were absolute garbage,
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: some of the worst stuff I ever heard. Um, you know, obviously,
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: if you if you just go from the top line
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: for what we have from state races, you're going to
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: see on national news, you're going to see James Tallarico
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: and you're going to see Gina Hinojosa. I'm going to
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: take James Tallarico out of the pot because that's probably
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: just that's a whole conversation itself. But this is this
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: is me. For those of you that are sitting around thinking, hey,
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: how did this happen? I'm trying to I'm trying to
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: explain as as someone who's who's a Republican, but also moderate.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: how this happened. um greg abbott and i don't have
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: the exact number on this i'd probably look it up
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: but it was rumored that coming into the election before
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: anything he was sitting on 80 million dollars to 100
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: million dollars huge war chest it was an insurmountable war
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: chest people said hey there's no way he's ever going
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: to lose because he will never have to Deplete this.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: And if he does, there's no one on the Democratic
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: Party who can withstand it because they don't have any funding.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: And and and they were right. And it's like Gina
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: was not particularly well funded, spent all of that, spent
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: another hundred million on top of that, if not more.
• 10:31
  Speaker 15: To.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: Someone that, frankly, I never saw an ad for. And
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: he got dog walked in that race last night. Dog walls.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: So if you've got all the money.
• 10:43
  Speaker 11: How does that happen?
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: And you can afford to propagate the message. And you
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: still fail, then what is the issue?
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: Perhaps it's the messaging.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: And who came up with the messaging?
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: I would bet, this is my bet. Again, some advice.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: Fire y'all's consultants.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: If you had consultants that were telling you, you needed
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: to run on fear and scare.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: Just fire your consultants.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: And you needed to run ads that were obviously hyperbole. Yeah.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: then maybe you look at some new consultants.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: There is an opportunity that everyone has to come back
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: because there is something that the national media hasn't even
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: picked up on yet that I think is important to
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: bring up, and that's the down-ballot races. I have yet
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: to see someone talk about the fact that not only
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: did Gina Hinojosa and James Tallarico.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Win, but....
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: Vicky Goodwin beat Dan Patrick.
• 11:43
  Speaker 15: Well.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: Badly.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Dan Patrick lost on weed.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: Nathan Johnson beat Maga Mays Middleton. Badly. Sarah Eckhart beat
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: Don Huffhines. I think some of these might still be, but,
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: you know, again, unless Don Huffhines finds a half a
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: million votes all of a sudden, he's going to lose
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: after being able to audition for the job from the job.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Well, I think that might have been part of the problem.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: John Rosenthal obviously beat Beau French. We knew that was
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: going to be a disaster. Again, Maybe we should have
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: considered the candid Benjamin Flores beat Don Buckingham. Clayton Tucker
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: beat Nate Sheets. Hey, get this. The entire Texas Supreme
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: Court is now blue.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: All of it.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: Every single position that ran last night.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Which irritates me on a larger level because I don't
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: believe courts should be red or blue or purple.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: Interesting structure that we have here.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Courts should be constitutional.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: They also took away the ability to hit one button
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: and vote for an entire ticket, just in case you
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: didn't notice that when you were in the ballot box yesterday.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: I want to emphasize this. They had to punch every
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: single line to do that. They had to take the
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: time to punch, punch, punch, punch, punch. That is intent.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: The fact that that somehow in the last four years
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: as a state have found a way to make people
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: that angry is pretty exceptional. But I'll tell you how
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: it happens. You spend more of your time worrying about
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: zingers and hot takes and memes and tweets.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: And doing splashy things in order to just get media.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you worry too much about to the point where, again,
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: it's garish. Dan Patrick and the cannabis thing was garish.
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: And no one asked for it, and it just cost
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: you the lieutenant governorship of Texas.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: And it's not a singular thing. All of these things
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: are intertwined.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: It all stacks up. It all stacks up over years
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: and years and years. You realize how hard it is
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: to lose these races.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. How hard it is, because when you were elected
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: to office, you said, okay— This is the platform that
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: we elected you for. We want to secure borders. We
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: want to, you know, the things that we do, get
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: rid of fraud. We want prosecution for crimes, right?
• 14:17
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: We haven't seen the right people perp walked.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: The bottom line is that you have a chance to
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: come back and circle around and restructure. I think if
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: I was going to restructure, no one will ask me,
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: but I'm just giving you the advice anyway.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: I'll ask you, Tucker, if you're going to restructure.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: First thing I'm going to do is I'm going to
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: come back, and we're going to go back to policy.
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: We were the party of Reagan. The party of Reagan
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: and George W.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Bush.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: I'm going to look at those years. I'm going to
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: start about 1994 in the state of Texas, and I'm
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: going to go up to about the end of the
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: first Rick Perry term, and I'm going to look into
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: what we were doing back then, and I'm going to
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: try to see if there's anything that rings a bell.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: I'm going to stop with the gotcha culture in terms
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: of politics. And for the love of God, we are
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: going to restructure how we do commercials. Y'all spent almost
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: a billion dollars out here running ads that no one
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: cared about, and you didn't stop. You realize at no
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: point did anyone say, hey, there's like five trans kids
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: in the entire state. Maybe we should. It doesn't seem
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: to be affecting anyone when we run these ads. Should
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: we just run another hundred million more? Are y'all slow?
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: I go back. I go back to a phrase that
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I used, I guess, last week. Abusing a horse corpse.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, you beat the dead horse. It was dead
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: a long time ago.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: The unfortunate thing that I think, and this is my only,
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: one of my real takeaways from last night, the unfortunate
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: thing that could happen is for everyone to look at
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: this and say, this was a referendum on Donald Trump
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: and Donald Trump alone, because it was a referendum on
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump, but you don't get that beating that Republicans
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: took last night unless you own some of it too.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: And in certain cases, most of it.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: And if you're not willing to accept accountability for how
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: badly y'all played the last two years and the campaign,
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: then it's gonna be a minute. So again, there's two years.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: And people who are freaking out online, I also want
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: to address this too. Donald Trump is the president with
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: veto power. Just because you were served a bunch of
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: commercials that showed you James Tallarico is going to show
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: up like Rumpelstiltskin and take your.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Kids as a freshman senator doesn't with no sway.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: Doesn't mean that actually happens you're not going to see
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: a whole lot done you're going to have two years
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: to figure this out and then you're going to go
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: get a chance to go back to the lab again.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: And if you want my advice yeah start pushing Marco
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: on the national level on the national level let it
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: trickle down.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: I know I I am not Donald Trump has been
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: litigated to death by every citizen of this country for
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: 10 years now. I'm not saying hide nor hair about
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: how you feel. I'm saying that you might want to
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: consider that the time has passed to where we need
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: to come up with a new strategy. Because that.
• 17:29
  Speaker 15: Guys, I.
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: The closest I can compare it to was 1994 contract
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: with America. And as far as on the state level,
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: I think it makes that look light.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I think so, too.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: And again, I'm not saying every single person who ran,
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: ran the wrong race. A lot of y'all ran the
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: right race. And sometimes you just get caught up in
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: the fact that your governor and your lieutenant governor are
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: making everyone enraged. Everyone on campus at major academic institutions
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: and the business community just doing stuff that's insane.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Teachers say education community. Yeah.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: You make you make enough enemies. And eventually, yeah, you can.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: You're all going to get together again.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: You can lose every state when that when CNN figures out.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: that it wasn't just the governor and the senator, that
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: it's not a purple state, y'all. As red as it was,
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: it is now the opposite. It's all blue.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: You pushed the pendulum too hard.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: The only way you grow is by honestly looking yourself
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: in the mirror, self-reflecting, taking accountability for how you could
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: have done things differently and then making the appropriate change.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: If you sweep this under the rug like, well, blue wave,
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: people didn't like Trump that much. This is on y'all too.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: I think the argument can be made. Tell us we're wrong.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: That this was much more a loss by the Republicans
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: than it was a win by the Democrats.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: You know what will tell the tale on that? A
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: couple of years down the road. Because we'll see what,
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: you know, it is a different thing running for an
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: election than actually being in a seat. It's very different
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: trying to be the opposition party than being the party
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: that actually is trying to accomplish things. And there are
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: a lot of things Democrats could do in the state
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: and at the national level to reverse this whole thing.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: In about six months to a year, they really could.
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: I don't know if that's going to happen.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Well, government is broken on purpose so that it does
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: not move fast enough for you to really mess it up, right?
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: That's true.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: It's got some train tracks there. It does. I do
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: want to touch base with Ryan, who sent in a
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: text that I think we can all really, really agree with.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: What you got?
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Stop spam texting voters ryan says that made me not
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: want to vote for anyone except libertarians i agree i
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: thought crossed my mind ryan.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: Again i i think i i can't say fire your
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: consultants more than than i need to Whoever is informing
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: you guys, I know any race worth its salt over
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: a certain level is going to have a whole team
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: of consultants and a lot of money paid to these guys.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: This is a big part of the problem because consultants
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: are people who can't do it in real life that
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: can convince you to pay them because they have such
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: good ideas. They play y'all like fiddles. They took your
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: money and they made y'all look, I hate to say it,
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: they made y'all look foolish. Those campaigns, specifically the governor's
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: and Ken Paxton's, made you both look foolish.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: And Dan Patrick didn't need any help.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: Dan Patrick was already there. And y'all got beat. It
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: wasn't like, guys, this wasn't fight. Oh, it was down
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: to the wire. That was a prison beating. So anyway,
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: if you've got thoughts or you've got opinions or you
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: have advice, where would you take things as the Republican
• 21:01

• 26:02
  Speaker 6: On this Tuesday, I'm thinking about the disturbing situation in
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: France and some other European countries. France is broke because
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: it pays entitlements to almost everybody. Free stuff. In addition,
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: pensions are extravagant, the work week short, eight weeks vacation
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: per year. And for all of that, many French people
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: and millions of Muslim immigrants want more from Paris, and
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: they'll burn their country down to get it. We are
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: marching down the same road here in America, and it's shocking.
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: The far left has amassed major power by taking over
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: the Democratic Party. JFK, LBJ, and Jimmy Carter would all
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: be stunned. My question is why are millions of Americans
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: buying into El Sayed, Telerico, and other far-left loons. Why
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: is that happening? Well, once Americans get used to handouts,
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: they'll demand more. And with few immigration restraints under the Democrats,
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: the American dollar will eventually collapse when we cannot pay
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: our massive debts. Now, we owe $ 40 trillion. That's what's
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: happening in Europe. Their debts can't be paid, and the
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: economy cannot support the giveaways. From the sidelines, Bernie Sanders
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: and his ilk cheer. Communism is back, and it doesn't
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: take Paul Revere's midnight ride.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: To define it.
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: Just look around. Back in a moment. Are you trapped
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: in a timeshare you don't use, want, or can't get
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: rid of? I endorse Lone Star Transfer. They are a

• 30:03
  Speaker 1: the WTAW newsroom, good morning, I'm Wilt Welch. Let's get
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: started with some election results with Jeanette Munchau.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: To say that we had some close races last night
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: might be the understatement of the year. We are going
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: to start in Bryan. Single member District 2. That is
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: going to go to a runoff. We had three candidates.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Chrissy Ransom took the majority of the votes with 44%
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: of the vote. Ray Arrington and Jeanette Mosley separated by
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: only two votes. Right now, Mosley ahead of Arrington. By
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: those two votes, if that stands, it will be Ransom
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: and Mosley heading to the runoff. In Bryant Single Member
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: District 1, Paul Torres handily holds on to his seat
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: with a sweeping victory over Chris Scotti, 71 to 29%.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: And Mayor Brian Gutierrez will retain the title, beating Rafael Pena,
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: 57 to 43. In College Station, the new mayor will
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: be Bob Yancey. He beat Elizabeth Kuna, 59 to 41%.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: And in the three council races in College Station, we
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: are going to have two runoffs. In place two, Chandler
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: Arden beat Michael Kidd with 63% of the vote. In
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: council place one, we're going to see a runoff between
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Mark Smith and Howard Main. And in place five, we've
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: got a runoff between Trey Watson and Peyton Holt. Another
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: close one we've got to talk about is State Representative
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: District 14. Only 315 votes separating first from second place
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: as it stands right now. That 315 vote lead is
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: held by Janet Dunning. If that does hold, Paul Dyson
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: going to lose his reelection bid. In State Rep District 12,
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Trey Wharton is going to hold on to his seat.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: Charles Schwertner is going to hold on to State Senate
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: District 5, and it looks like Chris Gober is going
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: to take U.S. Representative District 10. I'm Jeanette Minshaw, WTAW.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: 78% of voters in Bryan want to remove the Texas
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Avenue medians. The city issued a statement late Tuesday reminding
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: residents that the vote doesn't make it so. The road
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: is controlled by TxDOT, and they will have to give
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: final approval. They have other items in the works in
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: hopes of improving mobility, including parking removing a section of
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: median at Brookside Drive and adding a traffic signal, evaluating
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: potential changes at additional locations along Texas Avenue through collaboration
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: between city engineering staff and TxDOT, and seeking funding to
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: install loons at intersections along Texas Avenue. They're expanded paved
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: areas to create extra space. for safer U-turns. TxDOT says
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: they're aware of the dirt and debris along the Big
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: 6 construction project. They're working with the contractor to address

• 33:55
  Speaker 1: of allowing hemp-derived THC products... is back in the hands
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: of a Travis County judge.
• 34:01
  Speaker 19: Judge Maria Hexel heard arguments Monday about why hemp store
• 34:04
  Speaker 19: owners believe the current ban on popular hemp products like
• 34:08
  Speaker 19: Delta-8 and Delta-10 is not legal. The problem dates back
• 34:11
  Speaker 19: to May when the state Supreme Court decided that trace
• 34:14
  Speaker 19: amounts of naturally grown.
• 34:16
  Speaker 20: THC could still be legal.
• 34:18
  Speaker 19: Attorney David Sergi represents the hemp store owners. He argued
• 34:21
  Speaker 19: that there is no definition of trace.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Was ill-defined.
• 34:24
  Speaker 10: It did not allow manufacturers to know with certainty what
• 34:28
  Speaker 10: parts per million could or could not be utilized in
• 34:31
  Speaker 10: the manufacturing process.
• 34:32
  Speaker 19: Sergi says so far more than a dozen smoke shops
• 34:35
  Speaker 19: have been raided by the state. The hemp store owners
• 34:38
  Speaker 19: want the judge to throw out the old rules and
• 34:40
  Speaker 19: start over again. In Austin, Chris Fox, TSN News.

• 38:17
  Speaker 22: Good morning, Bob.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Congratulations, Bob.
• 38:20
  Speaker 15: Thank you gentlemen.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Very much.
• 38:22
  Speaker 15: Good morning to you both. And I have a hammock
• 38:25
  Speaker 15: in my backyard and you're 100% correct. It's a great
• 38:28
  Speaker 15: morning for it.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: That fits Bob. You got that hammock back there. I
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: hope you get great use out of it.
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: So how late was your night last night? When did
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: y'all wrap it up?
• 38:40
  Speaker 15: Oh, probably around 2 AM.
• 38:43
  Speaker 8: Good.
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: Good night.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: And here we are five hours later talking to you.
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah. No, I want to be very appreciative of you
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: for coming on because we wanted to, you know, obviously
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: get your thoughts on, you know, now that we've seen
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: everything shake down at the local level, City College Station.
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: I know there's still a couple of runoffs we're looking at,
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: I believe, being for a couple of the remaining council seats.
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: But what were your takeaways from what you saw last night?
• 39:12
  Speaker 15: Well, it was just an extraordinary evening at all levels,
• 39:17
  Speaker 15: and there's a lot of analysis to do yet, but
• 39:20
  Speaker 15: I'm struck by the fact that I think affordability was
• 39:25
  Speaker 15: the main issue on the ballot last night at all levels.
• 39:30
  Speaker 15: And fortunately, cities are uniquely positioned to address affordability through
• 39:37
  Speaker 15: economic development and job creation, recruiting not just jobs but
• 39:42
  Speaker 15: careers for a municipality. And then from a housing perspective,
• 39:48
  Speaker 15: there's a lot that a municipality can do to, you know,
• 39:52
  Speaker 15: incentivize and or just get out of the way on,
• 39:56
  Speaker 15: you know, exorbitant fees and processes that are impediments to,
• 40:01
  Speaker 15: you know, quality workforce housing. So I think it was
• 40:06
  Speaker 15: about affordability. I think at the higher level, you had
• 40:09
  Speaker 15: an awful lot of of of blue candidates talking about
• 40:15
  Speaker 15: affordability and making great progress on that topic. And that
• 40:19
  Speaker 15: there were an awful lot of red candidates who hadn't
• 40:22
  Speaker 15: done a whole lot relative to affordability over time. So
• 40:26
  Speaker 15: at its simplest core, I think that's it.
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: Now, you're going to be obviously going from council member
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: to mayor. It's been done done before. But how are
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: you how are you approaching that in your mind? How
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: is how is that impacting what you what you're looking
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: to do moving forward when we when when you switch
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: into the next chair?
• 40:49
  Speaker 15: Well, you know, mayor's job is to hold your own views,
• 40:55
  Speaker 15: but create even more room for your council. I've run
• 40:59
  Speaker 15: a lot of boards, chaired a lot of committees, and
• 41:03
  Speaker 15: I'm not new to that. I think Mayor John Nichols,
• 41:09
  Speaker 15: who I want to take a moment and highlight and
• 41:11
  Speaker 15: thank for his incredible career of service to our community,
• 41:16
  Speaker 15: he sets a really high bar on that, giving equal
• 41:19
  Speaker 15: time to everybody on the council. I would want to
• 41:26
  Speaker 15: borrow from that, but also see us make better decisions.
• 41:32
  Speaker 15: I think there were just a lot of moments, crucial
• 41:36
  Speaker 15: moments over the past four years where things could have
• 41:41
  Speaker 15: gone a different way. We could have spent our time
• 41:44
  Speaker 15: more efficiently. We could have been making strides in affordability.
• 41:49
  Speaker 15: I'm really hoping to work with the next council to
• 41:53
  Speaker 15: work on those important issues.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: With that being said, Bob, what do you hope to
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: have accomplished by the time Your term as mayor is up.
• 42:05
  Speaker 15: I would like to see a renewed connection, and I'm
• 42:10
  Speaker 15: not going to say reinstate trust. We have trust, but
• 42:16
  Speaker 15: it's taken a hit with some of the discretionary projects
• 42:18
  Speaker 15: that we've done over the past four years. So I'd
• 42:22
  Speaker 15: like to see neighborhood integrity shored up. I'd like to
• 42:25
  Speaker 15: see economic development that at least moves the needle a
• 42:28
  Speaker 15: little bit relative to our median income by recruiting, you know,
• 42:39
  Speaker 15: smart growth businesses for our community that help people get ahead.
• 42:45
  Speaker 15: I'd like to elevate council. I have been struck by,
• 42:49
  Speaker 15: I've already mentioned, I've been on a lot of boards
• 42:52
  Speaker 15: and commissions and chaired a lot of them. I don't
• 42:54
  Speaker 15: think I've seen one where, you know, A board like
• 42:59
  Speaker 15: ours was faced with more binary up or down votes
• 43:04
  Speaker 15: with a really strong, resolute end goal from the staff
• 43:10
  Speaker 15: that was not devoid of but didn't have really as
• 43:15
  Speaker 15: much council vision behind it as it probably could have.
• 43:18
  Speaker 15: I hope that makes sense. That's a lot of words.
• 43:20
  Speaker 15: But I want to elevate council. Bring us all together.
• 43:24
  Speaker 15: Reestablish that trust. and reinstitute an era of prosperity for
• 43:29
  Speaker 15: the city of College Station where people feel like they
• 43:33
  Speaker 15: can get ahead.
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: Well, let me ask you this, too. Obviously, Chandler Arden,
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: he won his race, and there's still, again, two races
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: were going to runoffs. You could have a good chunk,
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: three different seats of brand-new council members to the city council.
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: What would your advice be to people, to any of
• 43:59
  Speaker 4: those guys who are incoming, that are going to be
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: starting out in their CED? What advice would you give
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: to them as serving on a board like this?
• 44:09
  Speaker 15: Well, I knew Chandler was going to perform really well.
• 44:13
  Speaker 15: I've known him for years. He's a fixture in the community.
• 44:17
  Speaker 15: He's got a very calm and intellectual demeanor about him.
• 44:22
  Speaker 15: He cares about people. He cares about our city. I
• 44:27
  Speaker 15: just knew he was going to perform really well. He
• 44:31
  Speaker 15: and I are very like-minded on this issue of housing
• 44:34
  Speaker 15: affordability and permitting processes and taking a hard look at
• 44:40
  Speaker 15: a lot of those fees. He's in the seat. Congratulations
• 44:46
  Speaker 15: to Chandler Arden for the fantastic race that he ran.
• 44:51
  Speaker 15: We really had a good Slater candidates, to all of them,
• 44:55
  Speaker 15: I would say, you know, buckle up because we're at
• 44:58
  Speaker 15: an inflection point from an economic development standpoint in Brazos County.
• 45:04
  Speaker 15: And in a lot of ways, it's coming, you know,
• 45:09
  Speaker 15: none too soon because people are hurting out there. Last
• 45:13
  Speaker 15: night's results showed it, you know, affordability. You can't say
• 45:16
  Speaker 15: that word enough. I mean, if People don't expect government
• 45:22
  Speaker 15: to save them or bail them out, but they don't
• 45:25
  Speaker 15: want government in the way either of them trying to
• 45:30
  Speaker 15: advance prospects for their families. And so we have a
• 45:36
  Speaker 15: lot of work to do.
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: Bob Yancey, mayor-elect.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: One final question for you, Bob. Yeah, absolutely. Bob, where
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: do you stand on the Waffle Houses?
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: The Waffle House. The Waffle High. Yeah.
• 45:52
  Speaker 15: You know, Waffle House, it's really interesting. They've changed their
• 45:55
  Speaker 15: business model a little bit. But do you know why
• 45:57
  Speaker 15: a Waffle House is so hard to get?
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: Well, I knew that initially.
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: Oh, he knows.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Initially, the growth plans were only along interstates. And recently,
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: the organization itself has bought back restaurants from franchise owners.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: And I do know that they're now propagating them in
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: other areas. Hence why we've got one in Bryan, why
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: Waco picked one up, and that they're expanding in other
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: areas that make sense.
• 46:24
  Speaker 15: A hundred percent. And before the corporation made a move
• 46:30
  Speaker 15: back towards the acquisition of their individual sites, they had
• 46:33
  Speaker 15: a hard and fast rule. You could invest in and
• 46:36
  Speaker 15: be an owner of of a Waffle House, but you
• 46:39
  Speaker 15: couldn't be a passive investor. You had to be in
• 46:42
  Speaker 15: there slinging pancakes, man.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: The Chick-fil-A model, I believe.
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I love that.
• 46:49
  Speaker 15: Yeah. And that's what made them, I think, great. And
• 46:53
  Speaker 15: so a lot of times people just want to throw
• 46:56
  Speaker 15: money at something and Get the mailbox money. It doesn't
• 46:59
  Speaker 15: work that way or didn't work that way with Waffle House.
• 47:01
  Speaker 15: You had to strap on the apron and go to work.
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: You're going to have to be able to pull that
• 47:06
  Speaker 4: off if you're actually managing a waffle.
• 47:08
  Speaker 15: I do.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: I do. Absolutely.
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: Bob, we're going to let you go so you can
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: get a nap today, brother.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much.
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: Enjoy that hammock. We'll catch up down the road again. Congratulations.
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: And again, thank you for waking up early with us today.
• 47:23
  Speaker 15: Thanks, gentlemen. Have a wonderful day.
• 47:25

• 48:08
  Speaker 20: Why do children misbehave?
• 48:10
  Speaker 15: Dr.
• 48:10
  Speaker 20: Kevin Lehman describes four reasons. The first is attention. The
• 48:14
  Speaker 20: child wants to be noticed and seen. Second is power.
• 48:18
  Speaker 20: The child wants the ability to influence other people's behavior.
• 48:22
  Speaker 20: Third is revenge. The child wants others to hurt like
• 48:25
  Speaker 20: he or she has been hurt. And reason number four,
• 48:29
  Speaker 20: feelings of inadequacy. The child doesn't feel capable of success,
• 48:33
  Speaker 20: so they choose to do bad. Once you understand why
• 48:37
  Speaker 20: your child is misbehaving, you'll be better equipped to know
• 48:40
  Speaker 20: what to do about it. Although your parenting style will
• 48:43
  Speaker 20: influence how you discipline, two strategies are always appropriate. First,
• 48:48
  Speaker 20: listen and be supportive. Overlook your child's misbehavior long enough
• 48:53
  Speaker 20: to let them know you love them. Ask what they're feeling,
• 48:56
  Speaker 20: then listen. Children want to know someone cares about them,
• 49:00
  Speaker 20: not just their behavior. Second, as much as possible, allow
• 49:04
  Speaker 20: your child to experience the consequences of their poor choices.
• 49:08
  Speaker 20: Don't rescue them from bad decisions too early or too often.
• 49:13
  Speaker 20: Hold them accountable by allowing reality to be their teacher.
• 49:17
  Speaker 20: Effective discipline is about both love and consequences. It's about
• 49:21
  Speaker 20: showering your child with affirmation while expecting them to take
• 49:25
  Speaker 20: responsibility for themselves. With those two ingredients in balance, your
• 49:30
  Speaker 20: children will develop the character they'll need to live life
• 49:34
  Speaker 20: well as an adult. For Focus on the Family, I'm
• 49:37
  Speaker 20: Jim Daley.
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: The following is not an actor, but a real life
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: story from Trinity Debt Management.
• 49:43

• 49:46

• 51:40
  Speaker 13: M men's basketball team won its second straight season opener,
• 51:44
  Speaker 13: cruising to a 97-66 victory over Alabama State last night
• 51:49
  Speaker 13: at Reed Arena. The Marina White capitalized on lockdown defense,
• 51:53
  Speaker 13: registering 30 points off turnovers. Head coach Bucky McMillan shared
• 51:57
  Speaker 13: thoughts on the team's performance.
• 52:00
  Speaker 22: You know, I think that 97 points was probably the
• 52:02
  Speaker 22: absolute minimum we could have scored in that game. You know,
• 52:05
  Speaker 22: we had 30 points off turnovers. Our guys played hard.
• 52:08
  Speaker 22: We only had 11 turnovers, which is a positive. We
• 52:11
  Speaker 22: turned them over 25 times. You can't do that without
• 52:13
  Speaker 22: playing hard. But overall, I don't think our guys played
• 52:17
  Speaker 22: their A game individually when it came to skill. We
• 52:20
  Speaker 22: sit here, and it's a major positive that when you
• 52:22
  Speaker 22: say you get to the free throw line 48 times.
• 52:25
  Speaker 22: I mean, I think this team will be getting to
• 52:27
  Speaker 22: the line. But, you know, going 29 to 48 from
• 52:31
  Speaker 22: the free throw line in your home gym is That's
• 52:34
  Speaker 22: got to be way better. Three-pointers, it's kind of like
• 52:37
  Speaker 22: it ended up bouncing out, and we got to 35%
• 52:40
  Speaker 22: in the game, but it kind of bounced out late
• 52:42
  Speaker 22: in the game. So I think we'd have a better
• 52:44
  Speaker 22: taste in our mouth if that happened to start the
• 52:46
  Speaker 22: game when we came out making threes. So I do
• 52:49
  Speaker 22: think you'll see we're more of a physically imposing team.
• 52:51
  Speaker 22: I thought Alabama State played really hard, but it was
• 52:54
  Speaker 22: a good look for us. We've got to get a
• 52:56
  Speaker 22: lot better. I still thought there were some positives in
• 52:59
  Speaker 22: the game.
