  Speaker 1: Good morning from a wta W newsroom. I'm Jeanette Minshaw.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: The City of College Station has reached the highest financial
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: status awarded by Moody's.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Moody is a.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Global credit rating agency that assesses the financial health and
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: credit worthiness of borrowers, governments, and corporations. It helps investors
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: evaluate the risk of a debt obligation. Their Triple A
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: rating is the highest tier, and obligations are judged to
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: be of the highest quality subject to the lowest level
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: of credit risk. Here's Bob Yancey from last night's city
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: council meeting.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: We did it yesterday. They did it, and I want
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: to congratulate the city manager, the finance team, the executive
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: corps that I know puts so much work into that,
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: or the taxpayer. What does that mean? You're going to
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: say five to fifteen basis points on every bond issuance
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: from now on.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: College Station is now only one of twelve cities in
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Texas to have their premier rating. The College Station City
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Council met for nearly three hours last night. The majority
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: of the evening was spent on the presentation and discussion
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: of incentives to increase housing density. The council hoped to
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: make an impact that would allow for more people to
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: own homes within the city.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: Once you break really beyond into triplexes and onward, you're
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: talking less home ownership opportunities necessarily, So that's kind of
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: that rub there. But middle housing go up to twelve
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: units in a structure.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: The council settled in on the idea of town homes.
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: So if we're offering incentives.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: To build the types of product that we want to
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: see in middle housing, then it may spur that happening
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: more quickly. And to you, that product is town homes.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Usually is townhomes. What was decided upon is a pilot
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: program to encourage townhome development. Because townhomes require a smaller
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: footprint than a traditional single family home, it allows for
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: more living quarters utilizing less acreage. They hope the townhomes
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: will be owner occupied Bapligan. Lawmakers in Texas are divided
• 2:02

  Speaker 7: happens to unused embryos after a successful IVF treatment.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: What happens to fertilize embryos that go unused after a
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: successful IVF treatment?
• 2:23
  Speaker 8: Who owns those embryos?
• 2:26
  Speaker 9: Can they be sold?
• 2:27
  Speaker 7: Some people believe the destruction of those unused embryos amount
• 2:30
  Speaker 7: to mass abortion. At the party's convention, one of the
• 2:33
  Speaker 7: legislative priorities was to protect feed the life from destructive practices.
• 2:37
  Speaker 7: But that goes against the goals of President Trump, who
• 2:40
  Speaker 7: struck deals with pharmaceutical companies to expand access to IVF

  Speaker 9: I just got served a video that's pushing Tesla camping.
• 9:08
  Speaker 9: You aware of what this is.
• 9:09
  Speaker 8: No like if you have a if you have one
• 9:12
  Speaker 8: of the car Teslas, I want you to take it camping.
• 9:16
  Speaker 9: Okay, it can't take it camping.
• 9:18
  Speaker 8: Take it into the woods because it's got a mode
• 9:20
  Speaker 8: in there called camp Mode, and you can touch it
• 9:24
  Speaker 8: and it'll basically turn your Tesla into a tiny little camper.
• 9:28
  Speaker 8: It monitors the air temperature, keeps it at seventy degrees
• 9:31
  Speaker 8: even though the car isn't running, and just kind of
• 9:34
  Speaker 8: you could lay all the seats flat and then you
• 9:35
  Speaker 8: can inflate an air mattress and then use the TV
• 9:38
  Speaker 8: as an entertainment system.
• 9:39
  Speaker 9: Boom, Tesla camper huh.
• 9:43
  Speaker 8: And I I have never once thought those two demographics
• 9:47
  Speaker 8: went together, Tesla drivers and the great outdoors.
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean, do you bring a generator with you
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: to charge the Tesla?
• 9:56
  Speaker 9: What happens if you're in camping mode? Yeah? What happens
• 9:58
  Speaker 9: if you got to Big Ben.
• 10:00
  Speaker 8: Takes a lot to get a car down to seventy
• 10:01
  Speaker 8: degrees in the summer. What happens a camper mode? Makes
• 10:05
  Speaker 8: it a permanent brick?
• 10:07
  Speaker 9: Yeah?
• 10:08
  Speaker 8: But anyway, and I have been I have been studying that.
• 10:13
  Speaker 8: I'm fascinated by it. And if there is anyone who
• 10:16
  Speaker 8: is a tessel enthusiast that wants to weigh in, I
• 10:18
  Speaker 8: would love to know.
• 10:19
  Speaker 9: If you see, I see them everywhere, but no one ever.
• 10:23
  Speaker 9: The thing is, none of them ever want to cop
• 10:24
  Speaker 9: to it anymore.
• 10:25
  Speaker 8: If I say I'm really interested in talking to people
• 10:27
  Speaker 8: to driving Tesla.
• 10:28
  Speaker 9: No, I'm not taking that bait. It's just I see you,
• 10:33
  Speaker 9: I see you and I understand.
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: Also and self driving. Riley showed me this. Do you
• 10:40
  Speaker 8: know waimos or snitches?

  Speaker 9: Now?
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: I cannot well. When I saw this, I'm like, man,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: all right. So a pair of fifteen year olds in
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: California learn the hard way that a robo taxi is
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: always paying attention. A Waimo was driving two teenagers earlier
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: in this week, and they were drinking alcohol and firing
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: water beads of toy guns at people outside of the car.
• 11:04
  Speaker 9: Don't have a Wayima party, Yes.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: The Weimo caught the cameras and detected the behavior and
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: pulled straight into a shopping center parking lot to notify
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: the company's support team. Soon after, the police were called
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: to the scene, and the officer surrounded the vehicle and
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: detained both teenagers, locked him in It's.
• 11:22
  Speaker 8: Stopped in a parking lot and called the cops and
• 11:24
  Speaker 8: told them.
• 11:25
  Speaker 9: Exactly where they were, gave him the video to convict
• 11:27
  Speaker 9: him and said, come get your kids. All of that
• 11:30
  Speaker 9: in the Weimo. Incredible blows my mind. I don't make
• 11:35
  Speaker 9: any right.
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: I'm absorbing this thinking all right, I like it. I'm
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: into this.
• 11:43

• 11:47
  Speaker 8: high school, Like I need an extra set of eyes
• 11:49
  Speaker 8: that that set eyes as robo eyes down.
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: I mean, you wouldn't behave like that if you hopped
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: in an uber, right.
• 11:55
  Speaker 8: No, you wouldn't give me a Well some people know
• 11:58
  Speaker 8: crack a few in the back of the uber.

  Speaker 9: They camped only in their Tesla.
• 13:25
  Speaker 8: Okay, it was great until the camp site that they

  Speaker 8: stayed at lost power. Then they had to stay there
• 13:32
  Speaker 8: a day extra until they got the power back on,
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: which could in turn charge their Tesla slash camper, allowing
• 13:42

• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, not even close, not even half a million.
• 28:34
  Speaker 9: Okay, okay, all right, that was all right.
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: That was just the tip.
• 28:37
  Speaker 8: Sorry, thirty million. See thirty a million dollars. By the way,
• 28:45
  Speaker 8: that's actually not a fair price. It should be fifty
• 28:49
  Speaker 8: six million because they also did the twenty six million
• 28:52
  Speaker 8: dollar donations to to charities and things like that, so
• 28:56
  Speaker 8: they the wedding might have cost thirty but they were
• 28:59
  Speaker 8: fifty six million dollars lighter.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: If I had to into this weekend, I'm going to
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: guess they probably spent closer to fifty million in total,
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: when you do the logistics of every single aspect of this,
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: on top of planning all of the fundraising events they did,
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: bringing in all those people, and then the traffic didn't
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: even include the traffic stop. I don't think in that.
• 29:21
  Speaker 8: So I've got a breakdown, and we're gonna go through
• 29:23
  Speaker 8: a little bit of it. Here's what things cost for
• 29:25
  Speaker 8: the Taylor Swift wedding according to the not Worldwide Catering
• 29:30
  Speaker 8: and Logistics, for around eleven hundred guests. You can expect
• 29:33
  Speaker 8: that to run in this instance between two point five
• 29:37
  Speaker 8: and three million. Now that's probably I'm gonna guess, gonna
• 29:39
  Speaker 8: cover again, shutting the streets of New York down on
• 29:42
  Speaker 8: the fourth of July weekend, Shutting Grand Central Station over
• 29:46
  Speaker 8: the fourth of July weekend, things like that, Right, Okay,
• 29:48
  Speaker 8: that's gonna cost something.
• 29:50
  Speaker 9: Catering. I didn't even want to know what the catering
• 29:52
  Speaker 9: bill is or who you got for. But that's not
• 29:54
  Speaker 9: gonna be cheap.
• 29:55
  Speaker 8: Booze, not gonna be cheap. So all that stuff. Could
• 29:59
  Speaker 8: that get to three million, y'all? That's just the start
• 30:02
  Speaker 8: we're just getting. We're just getting into it at that point,
• 30:05
  Speaker 8: and you're already at three million for the basics five
• 30:09
  Speaker 8: million dollar minimum on the core floral arrangements, draping and
• 30:14
  Speaker 8: carpet installation.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: I one hundred percent believe this because you know, like
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: less than a month ago. I was actually almost a
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: month ago today my brother had his wedding and the
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: floral aspect of the entire wedding cost way way more
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: than anyone thought it was ever going to cost. It
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: was unreal.
• 30:30
  Speaker 9: Weddings always spiral.
• 30:32
  Speaker 8: I mean, guys, I don't know y'all have y'all can not
• 30:35
  Speaker 8: thirty million, but you there are many of us who
• 30:37
  Speaker 8: have been involved in a wedding that's spiraled out of
• 30:39
  Speaker 8: control financially. Okay, but many of us. If you want
• 30:43
  Speaker 8: to tell us what the most ridiculous bill you paid was,
• 30:45
  Speaker 8: please text us. But yeah, floral is always one videographer
• 30:50
  Speaker 8: and photographers that usually jumps up at me as one
• 30:54
  Speaker 8: that burns a lot of people, honestly, DJs because you
• 30:58
  Speaker 8: pay him a lot of money and then they show
• 30:59
  Speaker 8: up up and frequently are they that impressive?
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: You think they had to pay for all the live
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: singers too that decided to appear.
• 31:07
  Speaker 9: The Beatles lord getting a Beatle to sing a Beatles song?
• 31:12
  Speaker 9: Do you know this? You don't know this?
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: Give I have actively avoided this day so.
• 31:18
  Speaker 8: Paul McCartney to break his val to never seeing I
• 31:22
  Speaker 8: want to hold your hand again, and he's saying, I
• 31:25
  Speaker 8: want to hold your hand at the wedding first time
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: since nineteen sixty four.
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: Okay, that's that's a big get.
• 31:31
  Speaker 9: That's that's so does that cost ei? Or is that
• 31:34
  Speaker 9: just Sir Paul.
• 31:34
  Speaker 8: Being like, you know whatever, love you crazy kids.
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna go. He did not take money for this,
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: I doubt it.
• 31:42
  Speaker 9: But how much would you even? What's the price on that?
• 31:45
  Speaker 6: What's the price to get him to break.
• 31:46
  Speaker 9: His val text message?
• 31:49
  Speaker 8: I read that to the twenty six million they donated
• 31:52
  Speaker 8: was less than one percent of their total combined network worth.
• 31:55
  Speaker 9: Probably she's a.
• 31:56
  Speaker 8: Billionaire, dude, but it's still twenty six million dollars. I
• 31:59
  Speaker 8: can't poop poop twenty six million dollars.
• 32:01
  Speaker 13: Uh?
• 32:02
  Speaker 9: What about Renny Madison Square garden? What do you think
• 32:04
  Speaker 9: that costs? Renting the garden?
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Over four million?
• 32:10
  Speaker 9: Okay? Yeah?
• 32:11
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and four mili five to ten million, including several
• 32:15
  Speaker 8: days for load and load out, plus infrastructure to transform
• 32:18
  Speaker 8: the venue, i e. Building a castle on the court.
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: Oh right, ten And you know that's all Union gigs.
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: You're not bringing in somebody that in New York. You
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: can't touch a thing.
• 32:29
  Speaker 9: On Donnie's New York Dusty.
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: Not happening, baby not could have happened.
• 32:34
  Speaker 8: So yeah, that is how you get to a thirty
• 32:37
  Speaker 8: million dollar wedding.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: And also in this article, I just had to throw
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: this out because I thought that this tiny little comment
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: was hilarious. They said, way over fifteen was just the comment,
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: and then he goes, that's the number of beers Jason
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Kelsey had that night. He was called the great and
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: the good time of the wedding.
• 32:56
  Speaker 8: Way over fifteen for Kelsey. Yeah, yeah, say assumption at
• 33:03
  Speaker 8: seel Talk.
• 33:04
  Speaker 9: It's fun. We like it.
• 33:06
  Speaker 8: It's a great time, unless you're Dusty has been actively
• 33:09
  Speaker 8: trying to avoid the story.
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: And in general, I think, why do people waste so
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: much money on a wedding, especially young couples.
• 33:18
  Speaker 9: I think it's insane.
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: I mean, for this celebrity couple, you know whatever, they're
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: they're loaded, she's a billionaire.
• 33:26
  Speaker 9: Okay, you can do that.
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: But but the number of young couples that will blow
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: money on a wedding and then complain about not having
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: a down payment for a house or the ability to
• 33:38
  Speaker 6: buy a house and for real is it is mind boggling.
• 33:41
  Speaker 6: To me.
• 33:42
  Speaker 8: If you want to share some of your wedding stories
• 33:44

  Speaker 6: Here comes Yeats and.
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: That ball is hit the deep left field, Siri going back,
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: it's over his head, it's off the base of the wall.
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: Oh sooner round third, he stares easily. Whyatt Langford locks
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: off the Angels as the Rangers defeat La Here tonight
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: by the final of seven to six.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: The Rangers nail biting seven to six victory over the
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: Los Angeles Angels comes after the Rangers bleue a five
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: run lead in the FIFA World Cup yesterday. Francis Keele
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: on Pope scored a stunning goal after missing a first
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: half penalty to move level with Messi in the race
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: for the Golden Boot, and fueled France to the World
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: Cup semifinals with a two to zero win over Morocco.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: N NHL news Quinn Hughes, CaAl maccar and the price
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: tag on their next contracts are about to be the
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: topic of intense discussion and scrutiny around the NHL. Each
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: are entering their final season of their respected six year deals,
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: with Hughes making seven point eight five million and macar
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: earning nine million. Hughes won the Norris Trophy in twenty
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: twenty four, one Inalympic gold medal back in February, and
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: was traded in December to the Minnesota Wild and helped
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: transfer them into a Stanley Cup contender. Mccar is a
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: two time Norris winner, guided the Colorado Avalanche to the
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: Cup in twenty twenty two and has a chance to
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: help them win at least one more in the near future.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: The deals for Hughes and macar will be the next
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: steps for the NHL in catching up to the other leagues,
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: if hypothetically speaking, they receive twenty million annually. That would
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: be the highest contract by average annual value in the
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: NHL and would rank seventy second in the NFL, tied
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: for seventy fifth in the Major League Baseball and ninety
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: fifth in the NBA. There are long term implications for
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: the rest of the league. In addition to resetting the
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: market for defenseman at the top end, it could have
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: a trickle down effect in changing expectation for blue Liners
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: at varying talent levels. In NBA news, the first week
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: of NBA free agency came and went with lots of action,
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: but there are moves still yet to come, including where
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Lebron James will land for his twenty fourth season in
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: the league. James has routinely kept his choice private in
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: twenty ten, twenty fourteen, and twenty eighteen and successfully controlled
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: the release of his decision, but historically teammates, friends and
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: business partners had a feel for what he might do
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: based on the vibes and not intel. The same seems
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: to be taking place this offseason. The teams that have
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: been pitching to James have reported mostly one way communication.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: While there is a ye pointing toward the Cleveland Cavaliers,
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: there are other teams potentially in the mix, like the
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: Golden State Warriors, Denver Nuggets, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Philadelphia seventy
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: six Ers. Golden State Warriors point guard Steph Curry commented
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: on the appeal of playing with Lebron James.
• 37:20
  Speaker 13: I feel like any place he'd call and say I
• 37:22
  Speaker 13: want to play there, you'd move mountains to make it happen.
• 37:25
  Speaker 13: And I know we're in that boat as well. So
• 37:27
  Speaker 13: the pitches. We want to play good basketball, be around
• 37:29
  Speaker 13: people that know how to play the game. Hopefully you know,
• 37:32
  Speaker 13: raise our floor on on on our competitiveness this year.
• 37:35
  Speaker 13: There's a good golf in the bay, which is a
