Speaker 1: identify and develop innovative solutions that help students succeed, improve
0:30
Speaker 1: the learning environment, and strengthen schools. The Commission will be
0:33
Speaker 1: made up of current and retired public school classroom teachers.

Speaker 1: They will begin their work in the coming weeks to
0:39
Speaker 1: deliver recommendations before the start of the ninetieth legislative session
0:43
Speaker 1: in January. Governor Abbott also sent a letter to the
0:46
Speaker 1: Texas Health and Human Services Executive Commissioner, Stephanie Mooth, directing
0:51
Speaker 1: her to investigate reports of so called birth packages. The
0:54
Speaker 1: letter asked that she look into reports that the Mission
0:57
Speaker 1: Regional Medical Center, only six miles from the Texas Mexico border,
1:01
Speaker 1: engaged in targeted advertising to foreign nationals looking to give
1:05
Speaker 1: birth in the United States and secure citizenship for their children.
1:09
Speaker 1: Abbot says citizenship is not for sale and Texas will
1:13
Speaker 1: not permit our healthcare system to be used as a
1:15
Speaker 1: magnet for birth tourism. Two Justices of the Peace have
1:19
Speaker 1: been suspended from the bench. The Texas State Commission on
1:23
Speaker 1: Judicial Conduct announced yesterday that Cleebirg County JP Brandon Wayne
1:27
Speaker 1: Berrera has been suspended without pay for being indicted on
1:31
Speaker 1: one count of possession of a controlled substance, a third
1:34
Speaker 1: degree felony. He was arrested earlier this year after being
1:37
Speaker 1: found with more than one gram of meth amphetamine. The
1:40
Speaker 1: Democrat took to his Facebook page in May to announce
1:43
Speaker 1: that he completed rehab and asked for the community's support
1:46
Speaker 1: moving forward. Judge Donald Joseph Clark AJP in Colorado County
1:51
Speaker 1: was suspended with pay after being indicted on three charges,
1:55
Speaker 1: one count of official oppression a Class A misdemeanor, and
1:58
Speaker 1: one count of false report to peace officer, a Class
2:01
Speaker 1: B misdemeanor. Also one count of false report to induce
2:05
Speaker 1: emergency response, a Class B misdemeanor. The indictment against Clark
2:09
Speaker 1: says he knowingly made an unlawful arrest then called nine
2:13
Speaker 1: to one one with a false report of an emergency
2:15
Speaker 1: to cover up that arrest. The Commission says these suspensions
2:19
Speaker 1: will remain in effect until charges are dismissed, the men
2:22
Speaker 1: are acquitted, or upon further order of the Commission. Texas
2:26
Speaker 1: Land Commissioner Sid Miller urges all Texans to remain diligent
2:30
Speaker 1: against the New World screw worm. There have been thirty
2:33
Speaker 1: two documented cases of infestation north of the border, one
2:37
Speaker 1: in New Mexico and thirty one here in Texas. Miller
2:40
Speaker 1: says sufficient numbers of sterile flies won't be available for
2:43
Speaker 1: at least two years and suggests using bait.
2:47
Speaker 2: We have a flybait we've used in the past. We
2:49
Speaker 2: need to use that and eliminate this past. We can
2:52
Speaker 2: actually do it with just a flybaight alone. It's a
2:55
Speaker 2: USBA program. They used it for eight or ten years successfully.
2:59
Speaker 2: This time we brought it back and protect our farmers
3:02
Speaker 2: and ranchers.
3:03
Speaker 1: Miller adds that infections are not limited to livestock.
3:07
Speaker 2: Like remind everybody to be diligent look out for this

Speaker 2: screwworm pest. The number one species is cattle, but the
3:14
Speaker 2: number two species is dogs and pets.
3:16

3:30
Speaker 1: College of Medicine is receiving more than six million dollars
3:33
Speaker 1: to study how cocaine and alcohol addiction may affect cognition.
3:38
Speaker 1: Researchers say the idea behind the research is that addiction
3:41
Speaker 1: can hijack the brain and cause a loss of cognitive flexibility,
3:45
Speaker 1: and flexibility is what enables decision making, task management, and
3:50

4:55
Speaker 3: sports and we're going to have more sports later, which
4:58
Speaker 3: is what we want. But we are getting chided on
5:01
Speaker 3: the text line for a lack of attention being paid
5:05
Speaker 3: to el Kupo Buondian Cooper.
5:10
Speaker 1: I don't know.
5:13
Speaker 3: Text message. I was expecting more on Switzerland the first
5:21
Speaker 3: time in the finals, quarterfinals since nineteen fifty fours. Heck yeah,
5:26
Speaker 3: great accomplishment.
5:27
Speaker 5: Sorry, I'm a little bit better since we're not in it.
5:31
Speaker 1: Nothing to apologize for. America is out, so people don't
5:35
Speaker 1: care anymore and along those lines, breaking news Belgian waffles
5:41
Speaker 1: have just been assigned to tariff of four hundred.
5:43
Speaker 3: I was, I, I know it's a joke. No, it's
5:48
Speaker 3: a joke, But weren't you kind of expecting something like that?
5:52
Speaker 1: First first meme I saw was President Trump announces that
5:57
Speaker 1: Belgium is two weeks away from a nuclear bomb.
6:01
Speaker 3: Wouldn't you just have to They did the Trump dance
6:05
Speaker 3: in the locker room. They were they were fired.
6:10
Speaker 6: Up, man, they were fired We mentioned the fact that
6:15
Speaker 6: when when that player got the red card and was
6:17
Speaker 6: gonna be out, and I told you, sometimes the team
6:19
Speaker 6: will step up, you know, if that team is I
6:22
Speaker 6: think the reverse happened.
6:23
Speaker 1: I think by I think by President Trump interceding.
6:27
Speaker 3: I think it took all I think it sucked all
6:29
Speaker 3: of the air.
6:30
Speaker 1: Away from it.
6:31
Speaker 3: Not because he did anything wrong, because frankly, I agree
6:35
Speaker 3: that was a trash decision by absolutely and that should
6:38
Speaker 3: not have been a red card. But that said, it
6:42
Speaker 3: caused uh distraction, it did, and what what's the worst
6:48
Speaker 3: thing you can do to it?
6:49
Speaker 1: Not just a distraction to the team, but a motivation
6:52
Speaker 1: for the other locker room fuel bulletin board material.
6:57
Speaker 3: Bulletin board material they tweeted his tweet and it put
7:02
Speaker 3: like cutout signs around it, like hey, or save you
7:04
Speaker 3: at the time, Belgium go ahead, because that's exactly what
7:07
Speaker 3: they did. They took that thing, they pinned it on
7:09
Speaker 3: their walls, and they came in hot boy.
7:12
Speaker 1: They did hot so.
7:14
Speaker 3: And we reaped the whirlwind.
7:15
Speaker 1: What about Switzerland?
7:17
Speaker 3: Switzerland is in actually a good game? Was it won
7:21
Speaker 3: it in penalty kicks? I watched. I watched the end
7:23
Speaker 3: of it.
7:23
Speaker 1: The first World Cup game I watched was USA versus Belgium.
7:28
Speaker 1: The second goal was scored by Belgium, and I was out.
7:32
Speaker 3: By the way, you weren't alone. Thirty million people, thirty
7:34
Speaker 3: million people watched the game the other night, and that
7:39
Speaker 3: makes it the most watched soccer game in the history
7:43
Speaker 3: of American sport. So that's a big deal.
7:46
Speaker 1: It is a big deal.
7:47
Speaker 3: To give you some some context for that, that's like
7:52
Speaker 3: the worst watched game during the NFL season, and probably
7:55
Speaker 3: an average game for A and M when they're doing well,
7:59
Speaker 3: like so let's let's temper that a little bit with
8:02
Speaker 3: that hair. But you know, fantastic and uh and and yeah,
8:06
Speaker 3: happy for Switzerland. I guess maybe I'll watch maybe I'll watch.
8:11
Speaker 1: Some more watching. I think the big win will's probably
8:16
Speaker 1: out just dipped a toe in the water. The big
8:20
Speaker 1: win was for our country, right, I mean, it's been
8:24
Speaker 1: an amazing host experience. By all accounts, it has.
8:27
Speaker 3: Been, and and there there is something really cool about
8:33
Speaker 3: how much fun the rest of the world has had,
8:37
Speaker 3: not just in parts of America, not just in the
8:41
Speaker 3: major cities.
8:42
Speaker 1: It's the.
8:44
Speaker 3: One. So every team, if you aren't familiar with this,
8:47
Speaker 3: they come over here and they have to pick a
8:49
Speaker 3: basically an HQ because you're playing these games all over
8:53
Speaker 3: you know, America, and some in Mexico and some in Canada.
8:56
Speaker 3: So you have to pick a HQ. And most of
8:58
Speaker 3: the HQ's they're looking can get these small little college
9:02
Speaker 3: towns and small communities. And if you go back, you
9:05
Speaker 3: can still find videos of this. But I want to
9:07
Speaker 3: say Algery ended up in Lawrence, Kansas, and the entire
9:10
Speaker 3: team just basically adopted the team. That's great and like
9:14
Speaker 3: the the Kansas Marching Band welcomed them in off of
9:17
Speaker 3: the plane and the players are blown away, like what
9:20
Speaker 3: is this and it's just it's it's a beautiful thing
9:24
Speaker 3: because a lot of the players a lot of the
9:26
Speaker 3: fans the coming off of the plane. Their impression was
9:32
Speaker 3: this is a group of people. They're angry, they're a
9:34
Speaker 3: bunch of psychos, they're they're just not one not to
9:39
Speaker 3: be played with.
9:40
Speaker 1: That one video I shared with you of the Australian
9:43
Speaker 1: saying the reason we thought this is because all we
9:45
Speaker 1: were able to watch on TV from America was the
9:48
Speaker 1: Jerry Springer Show and Judge Jude.
9:50
Speaker 3: That's what happens, and why would they know any different.
9:53
Speaker 3: They're not over here, They're never going to come over.
9:55
Speaker 1: Medio is not going out of the way to correct it.
9:57
Speaker 2: No, they're not.
9:59
Speaker 3: And then the impression that they get once they're on
10:02
Speaker 3: American soil is the America that everyone here knows is
10:06
Speaker 3: kind people, people love good time.
10:09
Speaker 1: It's been so fascinating latching on the socials. Yeah, because
10:12
Speaker 1: there's there's at least a half dozen of them more,
10:15
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's more, but a half dozen of them
10:17
Speaker 1: that I've seen that are touring like they're driving away
10:21
Speaker 1: from the major cities to experience small town.
10:24
Speaker 3: They're saying, once they got here, they got the bug
10:26
Speaker 3: and now they want to see they want to see more.
10:28
Speaker 1: There's this British couple I've been watching. They're from northern England,
10:32
Speaker 1: very small town and they've been driving. They started I
10:35
Speaker 1: think their first real set of videos was here in Texas,
10:38
Speaker 1: but they avoided all the major cities. They went and
10:40
Speaker 1: had some barbecue, they had some good times. They went
10:42
Speaker 1: over into Louisiana and that, and they took the coastal Road.
10:47
Speaker 1: They went down through Beaumont down there and then into
10:49
Speaker 1: southern Mississippi and the things that they have discovered. Number one,
10:54
Speaker 1: and because these guys are apt to pull over into
10:57
Speaker 1: the darkest bar they find just to go we want
11:00
Speaker 1: to experience a dive bar, and they'll just go talk
11:02
Speaker 1: to anybody. But the hospitality they've experienced is true America.
11:06
Speaker 3: The reason that it's cool is again the rest of
11:09
Speaker 3: the world getting to see what most of us kind
11:12
Speaker 3: of know. But also another reminder to us, do not
11:17
Speaker 3: take for granted all of these things that we have
11:20
Speaker 3: access uh huh, like especially going to live in college station.
11:23
Speaker 3: Do not take for granted that's a special place to live.
11:27
Speaker 3: Do not take for granted you can go to some
11:28
Speaker 3: of these small towns and find some of the coolest
11:30
Speaker 3: people and the most fun things to do and things
11:34
Speaker 3: that the rest of the world would absolutely blow their
11:36
Speaker 3: mind to experience every single day. And then don't watch soccer,
11:40
Speaker 3: watch football because frankly a better it's a better product. Yeah,
11:43
Speaker 3: you know, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna come off
11:46
Speaker 3: of that anytime soon. So yeah, that's the that's the
11:51
Speaker 3: World Cup updates for today. Good morning makes for be
11:55
Speaker 3: here today on WTAW Info Maniacs on sixteen, twenty ninety
11:58
Speaker 3: four five WTA you good morning, breaking stinking news which
12:03
Speaker 3: I would not have been aware of. I'm not a
12:05
Speaker 3: Costco guy.
12:05
Speaker 1: Will yeah, and I'm barely a Costco guy. However, this
12:09
Speaker 1: did pop up, and it's been confirmed that Costco and
12:12
Speaker 1: to Shoot's Brewery are ending their co branded beer partnership,
12:16
Speaker 1: so you will no longer be able to buy the
12:19
Speaker 1: Kirkland series of beers.
12:21
Speaker 3: I didn't even know there was a Kirkland.
12:24
Speaker 1: I knew there was a Kirkland Wine. I knew that
12:27
Speaker 1: there was Kirkland Tequila.
12:29
Speaker 3: There's Kirkland tequila.
12:31
Speaker 1: I know this because there was a news story about it.
12:35
Speaker 1: It was a while back about it possibly not being
12:37
Speaker 1: one hundred percent of gave. And you know, somebody throws it.
12:40
Speaker 3: Kirkland, get out of here. What do you expect? Man,
12:43
Speaker 3: it can't cost that much.
12:44
Speaker 1: It's been a long time since I have bought the
12:47
Speaker 1: store brand or generic beer, but it has happened.
12:52
Speaker 3: Did anyone try it?
12:54
Speaker 1: I haven't tried that.
12:55
Speaker 3: Anyone tried. I know we have some Costco freaks out
12:58
Speaker 3: there because y'all evangelize me all the time to come
13:00
Speaker 3: over from Sam's.
13:02
Speaker 1: And I've never tried the Kirkland signature lagger or the
13:07
Speaker 1: Curtain Signature vintage ale. There were two of them. There
13:10
Speaker 1: were two, there were I.
13:12
Speaker 3: Mean, I would love to get a review on. That
13:13
Speaker 3: always fascinates me, the stuff that gets that hooks you
13:17
Speaker 3: at Costco because everyone's got that one thing where they're like,
13:20
Speaker 3: oh no, I was kind of on the fence and
13:22
Speaker 3: then all of a sudden, I'm I'm no.
13:24
Speaker 4: No.
13:24
Speaker 3: A lot of times Osco guy for life.
13:26
Speaker 1: A lot of times I've found a store brand to
13:28
Speaker 1: be not just a replacement, but an upgrade.
13:32
Speaker 3: Sometimes the generic.
13:33
Speaker 1: And the breakfast cereals, I've found that, No.
13:35
Speaker 3: You haven't, there's a generic breakfast cereals?
13:38
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Oh yeah, what do you got? I mean
13:40
Speaker 1: all of them?
13:41
Speaker 3: All of them?
13:42
Speaker 1: Yeah? You can get. I got like the Crunchberry knockoff
13:45
Speaker 1: of the HGB brand.
13:49
Speaker 5: Oh is it not ariginal?
13:52
Speaker 3: Okay, so we're off on frosted flakes, but some of
13:54
Speaker 3: them are money. The HGB is kind of a I
13:58
Speaker 3: can you even call HB stuff generics at this at
14:01
Speaker 3: this point, because.
14:02
Speaker 1: That's what they're trying trying to get away from that
14:05
Speaker 1: term generic. And there's a lot of stores that are
14:07
Speaker 1: doing that.
14:07
Speaker 3: They have their own obviously. The biggest example is on
14:11
Speaker 3: AGB would be the Creamy Cree. Yeah, Creamy Creations. There
14:16
Speaker 3: are some people who have some might say, in an
14:20
Speaker 3: enlightened state, sworn off Bluebell because Creamy Creations, they say,
14:26
Speaker 3: is the superior ice cream of Texas.
14:29
Speaker 1: Well, Tucker, you know, that's why they make chocolate and vanilla,
14:33
Speaker 1: some for everybody, something for everybody. And I've had some
14:36
Speaker 1: Creamy Cree, you know, but.
14:39
Speaker 3: Not really not not those standout for you.
14:41
Speaker 1: No, I just I've always gravitated back towards the Bluebell.
14:45
Speaker 1: Not only is it a great product, but it's heritage
14:47
Speaker 1: and it's made just down the road.
14:49
Speaker 3: Do you think if you had to pick all generics equal,
14:55
Speaker 3: who has the best generics? H G B or COSTC
14:59
Speaker 3: on average, I don't have rightly goes AGB with. I
15:01
Speaker 3: even think I.
15:02
Speaker 1: Don't have enough experience with Costco branded Kirkland stuff.
15:06
Speaker 3: That's my thing is I could Kirkland be better than
15:09
Speaker 3: agb's generics. Hell yeah, would I know? Absolutely not know.
15:13
Speaker 3: Some of y'all might, some he' all might have some
15:16
Speaker 3: opinions if you want to weigh in nine seven, nine,
15:19
Speaker 3: six nine five, sixteen twenty, because good lord.
15:22
Speaker 4: That's my issue with like Costco and SAMs Club and
15:24
Speaker 4: all those places.
15:25
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't like the fact you have to have
15:26
Speaker 5: a membership.
15:28
Speaker 1: Well, I mean there's that, but you you know, membership
15:30
Speaker 1: has its reworks.
15:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
15:32
Speaker 4: If you're not a membership, you should still be able
15:34
Speaker 4: to go in there and shop for things if you
15:36
Speaker 4: want to. It shouldn't be just a membership exclusive only.
15:39
Speaker 4: I don't understand why companies do that, because they miss
15:42
Speaker 4: out on so many people that are like, I'm not
15:44
Speaker 4: gonna buy this membership because some of these places like
15:47
Speaker 4: Sam's Club, Yes is in Corpus, they have one, but
15:49
Speaker 4: we don't have a Costco down there, So why would
15:51
Speaker 4: you buy a membership if you're only going to be
15:53
Speaker 4: somewhere firs certain amount of time.
15:55
Speaker 1: There's so many questions.
15:56
Speaker 3: Waw, good morning. What do you have for us today?
16:00
Speaker 2: HGB is better than the Kirkland knockoffs.
16:03
Speaker 3: AGB as far as generics go to superior, Their.
16:07
Speaker 1: Creamy Creation's ice cream is right under Baskin Robbins, which.
16:12
Speaker 3: Is at the top of the mouth is. Oh man,
16:14
Speaker 3: I'm a basket rocks in a minute, Okay, no I
16:16
Speaker 3: I You're not alone. Like I said, A lot of people,
16:19
Speaker 3: a lot of people swear by the Creamy Creation as
16:22
Speaker 3: the go to better than a lot of other ice
16:24
Speaker 3: cream brands out there. Oh oh, hands down.
16:27
Speaker 1: I've tried them all.
16:28
Speaker 3: Sixty five years old. I've been around the block a
16:31
Speaker 3: few times. This man is an ice cream consor. Hey, dude,
16:34
Speaker 3: thank you he was.
16:35
Speaker 1: He's been around the block a few times chasing the
16:37
Speaker 1: ice cream trucks.
16:40
Speaker 3: Nine seven, nine, six, ninety five, sixteen twenty. If you
16:43
Speaker 3: guys want to weigh in again, My only costio or
16:47
Speaker 3: hib on the generic, My.
16:48
Speaker 1: Only real experience with generic brands came from Food for
16:52
Speaker 1: Less in Hot Springs, Arkansas. What because you know the
16:59
Speaker 1: float trip that I just went on that started with
17:01
Speaker 1: my boys back in college. It was much It was
17:03
Speaker 1: a longer, much more in depth trip at that point
17:06
Speaker 1: in time. So there was an informal competition to see
17:10
Speaker 1: who could bring the worst beer on the trip. Because
17:13
Speaker 1: that's how you that's how you assured that your beer
17:16
Speaker 1: would not be stolen by your friends.
17:18
Speaker 3: You just you just made yourself miserable. Yeah, with garbage beer.
17:21
Speaker 1: Either that or you you kept a stash of your
17:24
Speaker 1: good stuff someplace and then you put that your worst
17:27
Speaker 1: beer you could find out as bait. Right, So I
17:31
Speaker 1: went to the food for lesson hot Springs and I
17:33
Speaker 1: got the beer was in yellow cans and it just
17:36
Speaker 1: set in black labels on beer, and that was my
17:41
Speaker 1: beer one year.
17:42
Speaker 3: I want to change gears because we haven't talked about
17:44
Speaker 3: Taylor and Travis as well your h I don't know
17:47
Speaker 3: if you guys know you are, as a member of
17:49
Speaker 3: the media, legally required to acknowledge the fact that Taylor
17:54
Speaker 3: Shift got married once or more per program. That doesn't matter,
17:58
Speaker 3: Jake Tapper. It's in the constitution, it's practice. I think
18:02
Speaker 3: they passed an amendment for that. Tell me about Taylor
18:05
Speaker 3: Swift and the bag of air.
18:07
Speaker 1: Apparently, if you like, you can buy a bag of
18:12
Speaker 1: air from the ceremony.
18:15
Speaker 3: What selling it?
18:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, a seller has got this. It's someone's trying to
18:20
Speaker 1: do it on eBay and the description says it's this
18:24
Speaker 1: isn't just a bag, it's history. You can breathe, frame it,
18:28
Speaker 1: display it proudly next to your eras tour merch and
18:32
Speaker 1: sign footballs or gifted to that one friend who still
18:35
Speaker 1: believes in fairy tales. They wanted fifty g for it.
18:42
Speaker 3: Fifty greasy, yeah, fifty grand, it was it. So with
18:45
Speaker 3: Membora Biley, you always got to ask is it certified?
18:48
Speaker 1: I don't know how you could certify this.
18:49
Speaker 3: You would have to you would have to have some
18:51
Speaker 3: method of doing it. And my question said, if you
18:55
Speaker 3: had some method of doing it, that obviously means you
18:58
Speaker 3: could be tracked tailor or could figure out who you are.
19:02
Speaker 3: And then is it really worth the fifty.
19:05
Speaker 5: Grand invite her to your next, invite her next wedding.
19:08
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, I don't think. I don't think
19:09
Speaker 3: it's that. I think I think she'll find Tim Swift
19:12
Speaker 3: is really good at fighting away to keep you honest.
19:15
Speaker 1: There's a couple of things you need to know about this.
19:18
Speaker 1: So the listing is down. It's no longer available for you.
19:21
Speaker 1: The website says the air came from quote outside Madison
19:26
Speaker 1: Square Garden as close to Taylor and Travis's big day
19:29
Speaker 1: as you could have gotten without an invite. So it's
19:31
Speaker 1: not even inside.
19:32
Speaker 3: I have an inside. It's just standard New York street air. Yeah,
19:36
Speaker 3: what's that about.
19:37
Speaker 1: On a related note, a website called NYC garbage dot
19:41
Speaker 1: Com is selling trash that might have come from the
19:45
Speaker 1: wedding or its guest and include someone crawled through.
19:48
Speaker 3: The trash in Madison Square Garden that night.
19:51
Speaker 1: Items included fabric soda can tops and even a single
19:55
Speaker 1: air pod, all for twenty five dollars apiece. People are
19:59
Speaker 1: trying to sell the garbage, you know.
20:04
Speaker 3: I don't even have a thing to say about that. No,
20:06
Speaker 3: it's like then again, if you does that person who
20:10
Speaker 3: was climbing through a New York City dumpster at three
20:13
Speaker 3: in the morning on the fourth of July. Does that
20:16
Speaker 3: guy not deserve payday?
20:17
Speaker 1: He does?
20:18
Speaker 3: Yeah.

Speaker 1: News is presented by west Webb All Britain and Chentry

Speaker 1: value most. Good morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm will welch.
20:32
Speaker 1: Texas Governor Greg Abbott is asking the Texas Health and
20:35
Speaker 1: Human Services Commission to investigate reports that a South Texas
20:38
Speaker 1: hospital is offering so called birth packages to foreign nationals.
20:43
Speaker 1: On Tuesday, Abbot sent a letter to Executive Commissioner Stephanie Mooth,
20:47
Speaker 1: directing her to look into reports that the Mission Regional
20:50
Speaker 1: Medical Center, a facility regulated by the Texas Health and
20:53
Speaker 1: Human Services Commission, is advertising the packages in an apparent
20:57
Speaker 1: effort to profit from securing the United States citizenship for
21:00
Speaker 1: their children. The hospital, located in Mission, is less than
21:04
Speaker 1: six miles from the Texas Mexico border and allegedly had
21:08
Speaker 1: billboards and a website advertising the packages. Birth tourism refers
21:12
Speaker 1: to the practice of foreign travelers coming to the United
21:15
Speaker 1: States to give birth and secure citizenship for their children.
21:18
Speaker 1: In his letter, Abbott says citizenship is not for sale
21:21
Speaker 1: and Texas will not permit our healthcare system to be
21:24
Speaker 1: used as a magnet for birth tourism. He also says
21:28
Speaker 1: he plans to work with the Texas legislature next session
21:31
Speaker 1: to strengthen laws and eliminate birth tourism in Texas. The
21:35
Speaker 1: State Commission on Judicial Conduct announced yesterday that two Texas
21:39
Speaker 1: judges have been stripped of their duties, at least for now.
21:42
Speaker 1: Brandon Wayne Berera, Justice of the Peace in Cleebirg County,
21:46
Speaker 1: has been suspended without pay after being charged with one
21:49
Speaker 1: count of possession of a controlled substance, a third degree felony.
21:53
Speaker 1: Barrera was arrested in Kingsville in January after he was
21:56
Speaker 1: found with more than one gram of methenphetamine. The Democrat
21:59
Speaker 1: to his Facebook page in May to announce that he
22:02
Speaker 1: completed rehab, saying I'm committed to being the best leader
22:05
Speaker 1: in person I can be for our community. The Commission
22:08
Speaker 1: also suspended Judge Donald Joseph Clark, a JP in Colorado
22:12
Speaker 1: County after he was indicted on three charges, one count
22:16
Speaker 1: of official oppression a Class A misdemeanor, one count of
22:19
Speaker 1: false report to a peace officer, a Class B misdemeanor,
22:23
Speaker 1: and one count of a false report to induce emergency response,
22:26
Speaker 1: a Class B misdemeanor. The indictment against Clark says he
22:30
Speaker 1: knowingly made an arrest that was unlawful, then called nine
22:34
Speaker 1: to one one with a false report of an emergency
22:36
Speaker 1: to cover up the arrest. The Commission says The suspensions
22:39
Speaker 1: will remain in effect until charges are dismissed, the men
22:42
Speaker 1: are acquitted, or upon further order of the Commission. Texas
22:46
Speaker 1: Land Commissioner Sid Miller urges all Texans to remain vigilant
22:50
Speaker 1: against the new world screwworm. The state has its thirty
22:53
Speaker 1: first reported case of screwworm infection, and so far the
22:57
Speaker 1: Brasses Valley has been spared. Miller says there won't be
23:00
Speaker 1: enough sterile flies available for at least two years and
23:03
Speaker 1: suggest using bait.
23:05
Speaker 2: We have a flybait we've used in the past. We
23:07
Speaker 2: need to use that and eliminate this past. We could
23:10
Speaker 2: actually do it with just a flybaight alone. It's a
23:13
Speaker 2: USDA program. They used it for eight or ten years successfully.
23:17
Speaker 2: It's time we brought it back and protect our farmers
23:20
Speaker 2: and ranchers.
23:21
Speaker 1: Miller ads that infections are not limited to livestock.
23:25
Speaker 2: Like remind everybody to be diligent look out for this
23:28
Speaker 2: screwworm pest. The number one species is cattle, but the
23:32
Speaker 2: number two species is dogs and pets.

Speaker 1: in funding from the National Institutes of Health. The nearly
23:53
Speaker 1: six point three million dollars will study of alcohol and
23:56
Speaker 1: cocaine can dull cognition. Yun Wang with the College of
24:00
Speaker 1: Medicine at Texas A and M, says the idea behind
24:03
Speaker 1: the research is that addiction hijacks the brain in a
24:06
Speaker 1: way that causes loss of cognitive flexibility, and flexibility is
24:10
Speaker 1: what enables decision making, task management, and problem solving. Wang says.
24:15
Speaker 1: Addiction is often viewed as a disorder of reward, but
24:19
Speaker 1: it is also a disorder of flexibility, and the brain
24:22
Speaker 1: loses the ability to update behavior when circumstances change. Governor
24:26
Speaker 1: Greg Abbott making more news as he launched a new
24:29
Speaker 1: initiative Tuesday. The Texas Classroom Commission is a teacher led

Speaker 1: educators to identify and develop innovative solutions that help students succeed,
24:45
Speaker 1: improve the learning environment, and strengthen schools by empowering those
24:49
Speaker 1: on the front lines of education. Abbott says it will
24:52
Speaker 1: ensure that Texas becomes the national leader in education. The
24:56
Speaker 1: commission will consist of current and retired public school classroom teachers,
25:00

Speaker 1: a Krispy Kreme.
27:23
Speaker 3: That long story. Maybe we'll get into it as a
27:29
Speaker 3: girl talk this morning, guy, we're gonna talk about We're
27:32
Speaker 3: gonna go about dating for a bit, mainly first dates
27:36
Speaker 3: and how they can go wrong yes, or how they
27:40
Speaker 3: can go right. There's a whole list of some of
27:44
Speaker 3: the things you're never supposed to do on a first
27:47
Speaker 3: date that I wanted to have Riley way in on
27:51
Speaker 3: as she is still in the dating pool. First off,
27:56
Speaker 3: some of the biggest mistakes you can make on a
27:58
Speaker 3: first day trying to too hard to impress someone that
28:01
Speaker 3: you forget you're also deciding if you even like them,
28:04
Speaker 3: can confirm.
28:05
Speaker 4: One hundred percent agree if I walk into a date
28:08
Speaker 4: and they try and go above and beyond, or they
28:10
Speaker 4: overly talk about themselves like oh I can do this,
28:13
Speaker 4: or oh did you know that.
28:14
Speaker 5: I have this type of car, this type of this,
28:17
Speaker 5: and it's like you can't even get.
28:20
Speaker 4: Past like the superficial layer, and you can't get to well,
28:23
Speaker 4: what's your favorite color?
28:24
Speaker 5: Like you can't even tell me that, or I you
28:26
Speaker 5: say like, oh I like the color da da da
28:28
Speaker 5: da da, not just I like the color blue. Like
28:30
Speaker 5: if you're trying to overly emphasize or impress.
28:33
Speaker 3: Someone amount, she says, she knows when she's being sold. Yeah,
28:36
Speaker 3: and no one likes being sold.
28:39
Speaker 1: No, it's a good skill to have.
28:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's it's important. Has a guy really come
28:44
Speaker 3: to you on a date and said, as a plus,
28:48
Speaker 3: I have this car. Has that really happened? Yeah?
28:51
Speaker 5: One time.
28:52
Speaker 4: One time I went on a date and this guy
28:54
Speaker 4: pulled up and he had this jacked up truck. He goes, well,
28:56
Speaker 4: did you know I have like this type of engine
28:59
Speaker 4: with this kind of lift kit. And I'm staring at
29:01
Speaker 4: him like, well, you're commiscating for something.
29:03
Speaker 5: I guess it's like, it's not it's his.
29:06
Speaker 3: Truck, because that supposed to get her interested.
29:09
Speaker 5: She it's not her truck.
29:11
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, if he was looking for a girl
29:13
Speaker 1: that could talk motors with him, maybekay, Yeah.
29:16
Speaker 4: But he wasn't even like trying in converse. He wasn't
29:18
Speaker 4: trying to have a conversation about it. He was like
29:20
Speaker 4: naming off every single thing about his truck, like the interior,
29:24
Speaker 4: the seats to this, and I'm sitting here like I
29:27
Speaker 4: don't care, I could care less.
29:30
Speaker 1: I'm assuming there was no second date.
29:32
Speaker 5: There was not a second date, Okay.
29:34
Speaker 3: Biggest mistake number two turning the conversation into a one
29:38
Speaker 3: person podcast. Yes, which means you have to ask questions
29:43
Speaker 3: and then actually listen in response. One of the best
29:46
Speaker 3: pieces of advice I can give anyone if and it's
29:49
Speaker 3: not necessarily just with dates, learn how to ask people questions.
29:55
Speaker 1: Then you need to do then learn how to shut
29:58
Speaker 1: up and listen.
29:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't when they're talking, let them get it all out.
30:03
Speaker 3: You don't. You don't need to find an angle on
30:06
Speaker 3: every single thing. But just yeah, ask questions. It's it's
30:09
Speaker 3: good for everyone. Going to dinner on a first date
30:14
Speaker 3: mistake number three.
30:15
Speaker 1: Thumbs up or thumbs down, Riley, I like going.
30:18
Speaker 5: To dinner on a first date, but maybe do an activity.
30:20
Speaker 3: Before as opposed to just dinner.
30:24
Speaker 5: Yeah, because I feel like you need to have like.
30:26
Speaker 3: All cough cough, she's got her own mind.
30:30
Speaker 4: To have an icebreaker before you kind of just jump
30:33
Speaker 4: in and like oh this is my name, and you
30:35
Speaker 4: just like sit there for two hours.
30:36
Speaker 5: And I mean if you can do.
30:38
Speaker 4: Something before a date to kind of break the ice
30:41
Speaker 4: get to know each other, like maybe have a laugh
30:43
Speaker 4: or like if you go for instance, you go bowling,
30:46
Speaker 4: or you do something along the line to that, it's like, oh, well,
30:49
Speaker 4: now you'll start talking about or going around things, having
30:52
Speaker 4: a different perspective of the person.
30:54
Speaker 1: It's a conversation starter. It enables you to see them
30:57
Speaker 1: in a non controlled environment.
31:00
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, all right, good stuff. I will say this
31:04
Speaker 3: and this is not on the list. Biggest mistake you
31:07
Speaker 3: can make on first date is if it goes badly,
31:11
Speaker 3: just assuming that every other day that person is going
31:13
Speaker 3: to go badly and maybe it will. My first date
31:16
Speaker 3: with my wife horrendously, really not because of my wife.
31:20
Speaker 3: I was really into my wife. I have no game.
31:25
Speaker 3: I have no game.
31:26
Speaker 1: Which mistake off the list? Did you make all of them?
31:28
Speaker 3: I took her to Genghis Grill. I paid with a
31:31
Speaker 3: coupon from the radio station and it just went downhill
31:35
Speaker 3: from there. But fortunately, fortunately she was able to look
31:41
Speaker 3: past it. What about your first date.
31:43
Speaker 1: With your my first date with my wife. So the
31:47
Speaker 1: first date is actually it's a fun story, but I
31:51
Speaker 1: have to tell you the story of how we met.
31:53
Speaker 1: So we met at Alfred T. Hornbeck's. I had just
31:57
Speaker 1: gotten off Oh lord, I had just gotten off of
32:00
Speaker 1: my radio show at the time, I was doing afternoons,
32:03
Speaker 1: and I'd run into a friend of mine actually earlier
32:06
Speaker 1: in the day, and he said it was his birthday,
32:08
Speaker 1: a bunch of us getting together. Come out out if
32:10
Speaker 1: you can. So I get off work. I go and
32:13
Speaker 1: I know everybody there at the table except for one person.
32:17
Speaker 1: And as I walk up, they introduced me. This is
32:21
Speaker 1: Mandy and she's single. Little did I know that she
32:25
Speaker 1: was kicking them under the table as I was walking up.
32:28
Speaker 1: So I go to sit down and she says, you
32:30
Speaker 1: cannot talk to me until you buy me a crown
32:32
Speaker 1: of coke at a shot, Okay, throwing it down reasonable.
32:36
Speaker 1: So I take care of that and I chat with
32:38
Speaker 1: her and we have a lovely time. I tell her
32:42
Speaker 1: I'll give her a call now on this list, because
32:44
Speaker 1: I saw the list earlier. At the very bottom it says,
32:47
Speaker 1: don't do the wait three days to cast garbage back
32:52
Speaker 1: back in my day.
32:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, this garbage today.
32:55
Speaker 1: It was back in my day that was rule. So
32:58
Speaker 1: I wait, I wait the three days. I give her
33:00
Speaker 1: a call and asked her out. Now, it was just
33:04
Speaker 1: a timing thing, but the night I was asking her
33:07
Speaker 1: out for was Valentine's.
33:10
Speaker 3: You took her out for the first date on Valentine.
33:12
Speaker 1: I asked her out for the first date on Valentine's Okay,
33:15
Speaker 1: and she said no, that she had a date with
33:19
Speaker 1: two guys that night, wow, which later found out she
33:24
Speaker 1: was babysitting two little boys. So I shoot for the
33:29
Speaker 1: next I said, how about Saturday night we can go out.
33:32
Speaker 1: You have your choice, because I was working country radio
33:35
Speaker 1: at the time. We can go to Harry's and see
33:39
Speaker 1: Reckless Kelly, or we can go to the Hall and
33:42
Speaker 1: see Kevin Fowler.
33:43
