3:11

5:10
Speaker 5: people pay money for today. that have to do with,
5:14
Speaker 5: let's just say, personal maintenance, right? Like skincare, the skincare journeys.
5:20
Speaker 5: South Park did an episode on that, how the kids
5:22
Speaker 5: are all trying to get age-reducing serums and everything, and
5:27
Speaker 5: it's a little bit much. Yeah, sure. But that's nothing new.
5:30
Speaker 5: People have paid for plastic surgery for a while. Probably
5:34
Speaker 5: for men, well, until recently. The number one thing you
5:38
Speaker 5: could spend money on that was legitimately, to my knowledge, worthless.
5:42
Speaker 5: And tell me if I'm you might know more about this.
5:45
Speaker 5: I have always assumed there is no cure. Or anything
5:50
Speaker 5: that can mitigate. Conclusively, male pattern baldness.
5:55
Speaker 8: That is correct.
5:56
Speaker 5: Nothing. No matter what anyone tells you.
5:59
Speaker 8: And for men, there's an easy solve. It's a razor.
6:02
Speaker 8: Just take the rest out and call it good.
6:04
Speaker 5: You got it, Dusty.
6:07
Speaker 8: How many men really need a full head of hair
6:10
Speaker 8: if they can't grow it? It's not a thing, right?
6:13
Speaker 8: Baldness is fine.
6:15
Speaker 5: We had a National Bald Guy Day, I think, earlier
6:17
Speaker 5: this week, and I mentioned this again. How long have
6:21
Speaker 5: I been... I was working here when I fired it,
6:23
Speaker 5: when I said enough is enough. And it's never come back.
6:27
Speaker 5: I just got rid of it, probably way before I
6:30
Speaker 5: needed to, but it was headed that way.
6:32
Speaker 8: I know people that aren't actually bald. that balding that
6:35
Speaker 8: just shave it off. Yeah.
6:36
Speaker 5: I mean, because it's so easy.
6:38
Speaker 8: It's so easy. My college roommate was balding in college, right?
6:42
Speaker 8: I mean, so, and he, he's been completely bald forever.
6:45
Speaker 5: The problem is, the problem is you can lie.
6:47
Speaker 8: Just go one way or the other.
6:48
Speaker 5: You can lie to yourself a lot of times easier
6:50
Speaker 5: than you can lie to other people. And that's what
6:52
Speaker 5: it comes down to with a lot of dudes. Is
6:54
Speaker 5: it just like, no, no, no, no, no, no. If
6:57
Speaker 5: I just kind of grow this part Or I just
6:59
Speaker 5: don't acknowledge the giant spot. No, no, no. I'm still good.
7:03
Speaker 8: We both feel good. We both have a friend that,
7:05
Speaker 8: you know, is kind of a comb over guy trying
7:07
Speaker 8: to cover up that bald spot.
7:09
Speaker 5: I know a lot of it. I understand it. I
7:11
Speaker 5: get it. But you don't have to be this way.
7:13
Speaker 8: No, now it's not a big deal.
7:16
Speaker 5: Obviously, I don't understand why. But there will always be
7:21
Speaker 5: a new grift in this regard. Like, I know the
7:23
Speaker 5: people flying to Turkey is something that they, and I
7:25
Speaker 5: don't know how you get hope from, like, Matthew McConaughey
7:28
Speaker 5: is the one that I don't understand of people that
7:30
Speaker 5: were going bald and all of a sudden then stopped
7:32
Speaker 5: going bald. I actually believe it's a wig. I think
7:35
Speaker 5: it's a wig with McConaughey. And that's fine. Do what
7:37
Speaker 5: you need to do. That's how you make your money. But, like,
7:40
Speaker 5: there really isn't anything that actually works.
7:42
Speaker 8: What are you guys doing? Hope he washes the wig
7:43
Speaker 8: with soap.
7:44
Speaker 5: Doubtful. New experimental treatment called hair banking. Is the latest one.
7:50
Speaker 8: Sucker born every minute.
7:52
Speaker 5: Do you see where I'm going with hair banking?
7:54
Speaker 8: So apparently they ran out of people willing to cryo
7:58
Speaker 8: freeze their head after they die. And they said, look,
8:03
Speaker 8: we've tapped out that market.
8:04
Speaker 5: So you had the facility available. So what are you
8:07
Speaker 5: going to do?
8:07
Speaker 8: We got some, we got some cryo, but if I
8:09
Speaker 8: can go after guys who think, what if I go
8:13
Speaker 8: bald later and I like my.
8:16
Speaker 5: Hair, I might need this one day.
8:18
Speaker 8: And, If I can only store 100 heads here, how
8:21
Speaker 8: many strands of hair can I store?
8:24
Speaker 5: Here's how it works. Follow me on this. Single hair follicles,
8:29
Speaker 5: and they only get like 100 or 120. So they're like, okay,
8:31
Speaker 5: we're going to take about 100 strands of hair. They
8:35
Speaker 5: take them from you and they store them through, and
8:38
Speaker 5: this isn't a real term, cryopreservations to, and they say, quote,
8:43
Speaker 5: freeze time on the stem cells in the hair.
8:46
Speaker 8: Guys because they can put them back they say.
8:49
Speaker 5: And it'll work just the same.
8:51
Speaker 8: And in case you're not sure if you're getting grifted
8:54
Speaker 8: with this deal there's no fda approval okay so.
9:00
Speaker 5: No evidence whatsoever.
9:02
Speaker 8: And they don't need any approval to take the hair
9:06
Speaker 8: yeah And store the hair for which they are charging you.
9:09
Speaker 5: Exactly. They throw it in a freezer and they walk away.
9:12
Speaker 8: And if you happen to go bald, we'd love to
9:16
Speaker 8: put it back, but the FDA hadn't approved it yet.
9:18
Speaker 8: We're not allowed to do that procedure.
9:20
Speaker 11: Don't worry.
9:20
Speaker 5: They're safe here, though.
9:22
Speaker 8: But we're going to keep them until we can get
9:25
Speaker 8: some government approval to do a procedure that may or
9:28
Speaker 8: may not work.
9:30
Speaker 5: They'll charge you starting at $ 5, 000 going up to $ 20, 000
9:32
Speaker 5: for this today.
9:34
Speaker 8: Yeah, I was going to say. So I'm reading the story,
9:37
Speaker 8: and I'm going, seriously, how much does it cost for
9:44
Speaker 8: you to get 100 hairs plucked and stored in a freezer?
9:47
Speaker 12: Right.
9:48
Speaker 5: I mean, how much does it cost in real life?
9:50
Speaker 8: In real life.
9:52
Speaker 5: Tell me about the freezer. You know, what's a garage
9:54
Speaker 5: fridge causing?
9:55
Speaker 8: So the extraction and banking process, by itself, this isn't
10:03
Speaker 8: getting it back or anything.
10:05
Speaker 11: Else, $ 3, 500.
10:06
Speaker 8: To $ 5, 000.
10:09
Speaker 5: So starting laying down five girls.
10:11
Speaker 8: That's to pluck 100 hairs out of your head.
10:13
Speaker 5: So that's just the beginning.
10:14
Speaker 8: Right, right, right, right. And then you're going to pay
10:16
Speaker 8: $ 150 a month in storage fees. $ 150 a month. In
10:18
Speaker 8: storage fees.
10:20
Speaker 5: A month.
10:21
Speaker 8: A month. Oh, no, I'm sorry. No, sorry. I misread that.
10:24
Speaker 8: A year. All right. That's a little more money. $ 150
10:27
Speaker 8: a year in storage fees.
10:28
Speaker 5: Yeah.
10:30
Speaker 8: Now, they will give you, it looks like you can
10:32
Speaker 8: get about a $ 1, 000 discount.
10:33
Speaker 3: Right.
10:33
Speaker 2: Right.
10:35
Speaker 8: If they pluck your hairs while you're getting a traditional
10:38
Speaker 8: transplant of hairs that aren't going to grow or end up.
10:44
Speaker 8: So while they're putting your back hair on top of
10:46
Speaker 8: your head.
10:46
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which is, by the way, Tiffany has
10:49
Speaker 5: texted in that she's on the impression that hair transplants work.
10:53
Speaker 5: That's the thing. I don't think they do. I think
10:56
Speaker 5: they can do. maybe give you a few months before
11:02
Speaker 5: they die and fall out like everything else. But I've
11:05
Speaker 5: never seen someone be able to, that I know, and
11:08
Speaker 5: I know people who have tried it all. I've never
11:11
Speaker 5: known someone who's been able to actually stave off father
11:15
Speaker 5: time when it comes to air. And tell me if
11:17
Speaker 5: I'm wrong. If you know I'm just an idiot and
11:19
Speaker 5: you know something I don't, please, 979-695-620.
11:21
Speaker 8: If you've done it and you think this five grand
11:23
Speaker 8: is worth it, let us know.
11:26
Speaker 5: Bigger question.
11:27
Speaker 8: They'll give you a thousand dollar discount on the hair
11:29
Speaker 8: storage if you're putting some back hairs on the top
11:31
Speaker 8: of your head now. So you got that going for.
11:36
Speaker 13: You.
11:37
Speaker 5: Bigger question. Has anyone ever regretted just shaving it off?
11:43
Speaker 5: Has anyone ever made the commitment? Say, you know what?
11:47
Speaker 5: I'm going to be a bald man. Off it goes.
11:50
Speaker 5: Have you ever regretted that?
11:53
Speaker 8: Somebody would have to tell me if that's what I mean.
11:55
Speaker 5: I've never had a stitch of regret.
11:59
Speaker 8: Anyone that I know that is bald is perfectly happy
12:02
Speaker 8: with it. And no one cares.
12:03
Speaker 14: Yeah.
12:04
Speaker 5: Never paid for a haircut in 20 years. Never had
12:07
Speaker 5: to deal with styling.
12:09
Speaker 8: I have. I have a full head of hair.
12:11
Speaker 15: Yeah.
12:12
Speaker 8: And I somewhat regret how often I have to go
12:14
Speaker 8: get it cut. So some days I'm like, hey, wouldn't
12:18
Speaker 8: it be easier? But then. Because I have a full
12:21
Speaker 8: head of hair.
12:21
Speaker 5: The option's available to you, too, my friend.
12:23
Speaker 8: Yeah, but the shaving process. I mean, that smacks effort.
12:28
Speaker 5: All right, we've got to take a break. We're back
12:31
Speaker 5: right after this on WTL.

15:33
Speaker 5: I'm not going to say unnecessarily because I respect this
15:37
Speaker 5: if you're really into it. That's the cost of weddings today.
15:40
Speaker 5: And are you familiar with how ruthless the wedding market
15:44
Speaker 5: is out there?
15:44
Speaker 8: Crazy.
15:45
Speaker 5: If you deal in venues or catering or DJs or
15:48
Speaker 5: something like that, there are some businesses. businesses and lines
15:51
Speaker 5: of work that, that you're in that are, that are
15:53
Speaker 5: considered hyper competitive. I don't know that any of them
15:57
Speaker 5: compare to the wedding game. It's, it's really unbelievable.
16:02
Speaker 8: Having a couple of daughters.
16:03
Speaker 14: Yeah.
16:04
Speaker 8: I'm like, Hey, you'd like to elope, right? Oh no, no, no, no. That's, that's, that's,
16:10
Speaker 8: that's the other daughter. I want a big one. I said, well,
16:12
Speaker 8: sorry about the family.
16:13
Speaker 21: Yeah.
16:13
Speaker 5: You got it. You got it. You got to start
16:15
Speaker 5: to work on that, man. Because there's a lot in
16:19
Speaker 5: this story that I wanted to cover, and it has
16:21
Speaker 5: to do with a venue that's in San Marcos, which
16:24
Speaker 5: is particularly interesting to me. I don't know the venue,
16:27
Speaker 5: but it's called Posey Meadows, and it looks gorgeous, by
16:29
Speaker 5: the way. So let me just get that out of
16:31
Speaker 5: the way. They are making national news because they had
16:37
Speaker 5: booked a couple to get married. At the venue, as
16:40
Speaker 5: one does. That couple had shelled out a $ 15, 900 price
16:43
Speaker 5: tag for it. I believe it was a deposit.
16:49
Speaker 8: Okay.
16:53
Speaker 5: The guy dies suddenly in April, seven months before he
16:58
Speaker 5: was set to walk down the aisle. And they refused.
17:04
Speaker 8: Okay, opportunity cost. They can't rebook that thing.
17:06
Speaker 5: To refund the... That's exactly what they said. They said,
17:10
Speaker 5: you know, a non-refundable deposit is non-refundable. So she obviously sued.
17:18
Speaker 5: Now they are countersuing her for breach of contract. Says
17:25
Speaker 5: the contract contains no clause for a client's death. You
17:29
Speaker 5: book it and something happens. You can do whatever you
17:33
Speaker 5: want with that day. You can bring someone else if
17:36
Speaker 5: you want to marry them. You can have a celebration
17:39
Speaker 5: of life. We don't care. But you have this day.
17:43
Speaker 5: And it's yours. And you're not getting your money back.
17:46
Speaker 5: So this is becoming a very big story. And the
17:49
Speaker 5: initial inclination that everyone has is like, oh, how horrible. Which, fair.
17:56
Speaker 5: Have we given any thought to the fact that the
17:58
Speaker 5: wedding venue might think that this is some kind of scam?
18:04
Speaker 5: That maybe the wedding went sideways.
18:07
Speaker 22: Yes.
18:08
Speaker 5: And this dude ain't really dead.
18:10
Speaker 8: Come on. It's not hard to find out if the
18:12
Speaker 8: guy's dead, right?
18:14
Speaker 5: It seems like you could just say, you know, here's the, yeah.
18:17
Speaker 23: No.
18:17
Speaker 5: Dead or not.
18:18
Speaker 8: I think the wedding venue says, look, I'm booked three
18:21
Speaker 8: years out. You've got those dates.
18:23
Speaker 5: That's insane.
18:24
Speaker 8: This is what I got to make my money. That's insane.
18:28
Speaker 8: You got those days.
18:30
Speaker 5: Because when I read this, I thought this might be
18:33
Speaker 5: a new thing. a new high in terms of how
18:36
Speaker 5: bad it is out there. If you're trying to like
18:39
Speaker 5: deal with booking a wedding or even operating a venue,
18:41
Speaker 5: I'm not, I'm not saying you guys, I get it, but.
18:45
Speaker 5: You think that's something that would be, do you think
18:47
Speaker 5: that that would be something that would be replicated? Obviously
18:50
Speaker 5: it's rarely happens, but like if something goes sideways, most
18:54
Speaker 5: they're not, you're not getting anything out of these guys.
18:57
Speaker 8: Seven months out. It would seem to me, you could
18:59
Speaker 8: probably get.
18:59
Speaker 5: Your money back. You're telling me in seven months, there's
19:02
Speaker 5: not going to be.
19:02
Speaker 8: Some seven days out. Yeah, totally.
19:05
Speaker 5: That's a little bit.
19:06
Speaker 11: Yeah.
19:06
Speaker 5: Again, yeah. Kind of uncomfortable, but like, I, I, I
19:10
Speaker 5: understand that, but seven months, you could find someone's going
19:12
Speaker 5: to get married in seven months.
19:14
Speaker 8: But this wedding venue, I mean, they're rolling the dice
19:18
Speaker 8: in front of a jury of their peers to go,
19:20
Speaker 8: you know, I need my 16-ger. That's what I'm thinking.
19:26
Speaker 5: Genuinely, that is what makes me think there's more to
19:30
Speaker 5: this story because they are being very out there about, like,
19:33
Speaker 5: you're not getting any of this back.
19:36
Speaker 8: And you know who's going to make money off of
19:37
Speaker 8: this deal? Not the woman who can't get her money back.
19:41
Speaker 8: And not the wedding venue.
19:43
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a couple of lawyers out there that will definitely, definitely.
19:48
Speaker 8: They're banking.
19:49
Speaker 5: They're gonna have a very nice fall uh we'll talk
19:52
Speaker 5: news that's coming up next this.
19:54
Speaker 24: Is today in texas history brought to you by the
19:56
Speaker 24: museum of the american.
19:58
Speaker 25: Gi on this day october the 16th in 1909 president's
20:04
Speaker 25: william howard taft and Porfirio Diaz met in El Paso
20:10
Speaker 25: and Juarez, the first meeting in history between a president
20:13
Speaker 25: of the United States and a president of Mexico. The
20:17
Speaker 25: local press described the meeting as the most eventful diplomatic
20:21
Speaker 25: event in the history of the two nations. An El
20:24
Speaker 25: Paso historian has added that it was a veritable pageant
20:28
Speaker 25: of military splendor. Social brilliance, official protocol, and patriotic fervor,
20:34
Speaker 25: the two governments made the most elaborate arrangements for the
20:37
Speaker 25: protection and safety of the two presidents. Significantly, the area
20:43
Speaker 25: in dispute in South El Paso, known as Chamazal, was
20:47
Speaker 25: declared neutral territory. The flags of neither nation were to
20:51
Speaker 25: be displayed during the meetings. Because both presidents were bilingual,
20:55
Speaker 25: there was no need for interpreters, and no one else
20:58
Speaker 25: attended the meeting. Although official reports of the meeting stated
21:02
Speaker 25: that nothing of political or diplomatic significance was discussed, some
21:07
Speaker 25: have suggested that the basis was laid for the treaty
21:11
Speaker 25: of arbitration that the two nations signed a year later.
21:15
Speaker 25: I bet you didn't know that.
21:17
Speaker 24: That was Today in Texas History brought to you by

23:49
Speaker 5: Dusty had mentioned earlier, expect 60s, just kind of around
23:53
Speaker 5: the 60s when you're moving around today, and then it's
23:54
Speaker 5: going to feel a lot colder because of the wind.
23:57
Speaker 8: And we should mention there is a wind advisory in
23:59
Speaker 8: effect until 1 a.m.
24:00
Speaker 5: You mentioned that this will be the first big test

Speaker 5: couple of days. And then if you are going out
24:34

24:36
Speaker 5: about 60 degrees at kick. Obviously, if you're going to
24:38
Speaker 5: do the morning tailgate thing, a little more brisk than that. But,
24:42

24:44
Speaker 5: game weather so far.

Speaker 28: I'm Nicole Murray with your Money Now. Applications for unemployment
25:03
Speaker 28: benefits inched up last week as layoffs remain historically low
25:06
Speaker 28: and most American workers enjoy job security. The Labor Department
25:10
Speaker 28: reports that initial jobless claims for the week ending October
25:13
Speaker 28: 10th ticked up by 1,000 to 199,000 from the week before.
25:18
Speaker 28: Shoppers showed their willingness to spend in September even after
25:22
Speaker 28: a better-than-expected splurge in August. The Commerce Department reports that
25:26
Speaker 28: retail sales increased 0.8% last month after delivering a revised 1.3%
25:31
Speaker 28: gain in August. Facts said economists were anticipating a 0.3%
25:35
Speaker 28: increase for the month. Mortgage rates held steady this week,
25:38
Speaker 28: keeping the average long-term U.S. home loan rate at its

Speaker 28: highest level in nearly three years. Freddie Mac reports that
25:44
Speaker 28: the benchmark 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was unchanged at 7.4%. One

Speaker 28: Yesterday, the Dow gained 5.56%. That's your money now.
26:05
Speaker 23: The team's looking good this season.
26:06
Speaker 9: I think so.
26:07
Speaker 23: Man, I miss playing football.
26:08
Speaker 19: Ever since I turned 40, I just can't find that
26:10
Speaker 19: fire I used to have.
26:11
Speaker 23: Think it could be lower testosterone?
26:13
Speaker 20: What do you mean?
26:13
Speaker 23: I was feeling the same way. After 40, the body
26:15
Speaker 23: has less testosterone, and men lose their edge. That's why
26:17
Speaker 23: I take Nugenics Total T2. That's the testosterone booster, right? Yes,
26:20
Speaker 23: but Total T2 is their brand new formula that skyrockets
26:23
Speaker 23: nitric oxide levels in as little as three hours. Since
26:25
Speaker 23: I started taking it, I've been lifting like when we

27:31
Speaker 30: cracked right across the fold. customers were angry and heads
27:35
Speaker 30: rolled at Samsung. But this is Apple, and surely they
27:38
Speaker 30: learned from Samsung's disaster. And don't get me wrong, I
27:41
Speaker 30: love Apple products, but they sure missed the entire AI ship.
27:44

30:50
Speaker 26: College Station voters and tables for Bryan voters. And then
30:54
Speaker 26: the candidates will be rotating and from table to table
30:58
Speaker 26: on a pretty quick schedule. And so it really is
31:02
Speaker 26: a lot of fun, but it is face-to-face as well,
31:04
Speaker 26: which is.
31:04
Speaker 27: What we love.
31:05
Speaker 2: That's President Kimberly McAdams speaking with WTAW. The event takes

31:26
Speaker 2: courage and a commitment to protecting the lives of others.
31:29
Speaker 2: In April, sophomore cadets Camila Ospina of Company K-1 and
31:33
Speaker 2: David Berry of Company P-2 rushed to a man who
31:37
Speaker 2: collapsed near Texas Avenue and stabilized him until medics could arrive.
31:41
Speaker 2: Senior cadet Benjamin Claypole of Company E-1 came to the
31:44
Speaker 2: aid of a woman who had been hit by a
31:45
Speaker 2: vehicle while riding a moped. He used his shirt to
31:48
Speaker 2: apply pressure to a wound until medical personnel arrived. For
31:51
Speaker 2: the cadets, the recognition reflects more than their immediate response
31:54
Speaker 2: in an emergency. It reflects the core values of selfless service, integrity,
31:59
Speaker 2: and leadership in action. A small number of Texas school
32:03
Speaker 2: districts received a warning as they still refuse to post
32:06
Speaker 2: the Ten Commandments in classrooms. Jonathan Covey with Texas Values
32:10
Speaker 2: says they sent out a letter this week promising a
32:12
Speaker 2: lawsuit if the posters are not hung.
32:15
Speaker 15: The Fifth Circuit upheld this Ten Commandments law and that
32:18
Speaker 15: a request for Supreme Court review does not put it
32:21
Speaker 15: on hold. Pending litigation and other requests for appeal or
32:25
Speaker 15: appellate review is not a reason to delay this law.
32:29
Speaker 15: Continued refusal could lead to enforcement proceedings.
32:32
Speaker 2: The Supreme Court has weighed in about the Ten Commandments
32:35
Speaker 2: in multiple cases. One of those includes a ruling that
32:37
Speaker 2: a display at the Texas Capitol is constitutional. In the
32:42
Speaker 2: governor's race, recent polls show the race between Gina Hinojosa
32:45
Speaker 2: and Greg Abbott to be neck and neck. Hinojosa is
32:48
Speaker 2: calling on Abbott to debate before Election Day.
32:50
Speaker 31: Greg Abbott and myself have been invited to four debates.
32:55
Speaker 31: He has hid from all four invitations. I have accepted
32:59
Speaker 31: all four. He won't debate me because he can't defend
33:02
Speaker 31: his indefensible record. And I believe that if he's not
33:05
Speaker 31: man enough to debate me, that he doesn't deserve to
33:07
Speaker 31: be governor.
33:08
Speaker 2: Abbott tells KXAS-TV that he doesn't think Texas voters want
33:11
Speaker 2: a debate.
33:12
Speaker 7: What I have learned by winning elections for governor, and
33:16
Speaker 7: that is the most important thing we can do, is
33:18
Speaker 7: to go to these communities. Talk to the people of
33:21
Speaker 7: Texas and their towns. Let them talk to me personally.
33:26
Speaker 2: A poll released earlier this week by the Texas Politics
33:29
Speaker 2: Project showed Hinojosa with a slim lead in the race,
33:31
Speaker 2: but it is within the poll's margin of error. Attorney
33:35
Speaker 2: General Ken Paxton is suing Gerber and its parent company
33:38
Speaker 2: Nestle over heavy metals in baby food. He says the
33:41
Speaker 2: companies are deceiving parents. Gerber tells parents its food is safe,
33:44
Speaker 2: rigorously tested and recommended by pediatricians. But Gerber's own test
33:49
Speaker 2: results show dangerous levels of arsenic and lead. Those metals
33:52
Speaker 2: are neurotoxins. Paxton says when a company makes promises about
33:56
Speaker 2: what parents feed their babies, I will hold them accountable
33:59
Speaker 2: to ensure those promises are kept. Paxton brings the claims
34:02
Speaker 2: under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. Staggering amounts are
34:07
Speaker 2: being spent on campaign advertisements as the race for an
34:10
Speaker 2: open U.S. Senate seat here in Texas demands attention.
34:14
Speaker 32: We are just two and a half weeks away from
34:16
Speaker 32: Election Day, and this race here in Texas, it's getting
34:19
Speaker 32: more competitive and tighter and really a whole lot more expensive.
34:22
Speaker 32: We're talking about a half a billion dollars being poured
34:26
Speaker 32: into these political ads, with Republicans outspending Democrats three to one.
34:30
Speaker 32: Democrat James Tallarico pressed on his past positions as he
34:34
Speaker 32: tries to appeal to moderate voters, including his comments calling
34:37
Speaker 32: God non-binary. And on voter ID, another change. In a
34:42
Speaker 32: 2021 Fox News interview, Tallarico said he opposed voter ID,
34:46
Speaker 32: but now he says he supports it. And the battle
34:49
Speaker 32: for the Senate seat is now breaking spending records. More
34:52
Speaker 32: than half a billion dollars in combined ad spending and
34:55
Speaker 32: reservations across the primary, runoff, and general election.
34:59
Speaker 2: That's Fox's Brooke Taylor from Dallas. The Real Clear Politics
35:03
Speaker 2: polling average shows Tallarico about 2.3 percentage points ahead of
35:07
Speaker 2: Ken Paxton. More news anytime at WTAW.com.

Speaker 1: What do we really know about James Tallarico? Tallarico said.
36:16
Speaker 4: Defending trans Texas is something we have to do every day.
36:20
Speaker 1: Tallarico supported using taxpayer dollars for sex change surgeries on
36:24
Speaker 1: young children. Claimed denying your child's gender identity is abusive.
36:29
Speaker 1: Said the trans community needs abortion care too. and even
36:32
Speaker 1: called Jesus a radical feminist and said God is non-binary.
36:37
Speaker 4: Defending trans Texas is something we have to do every day.
36:40
Speaker 1: But it gets worse. James Tallarico voted to allow biological
36:45
Speaker 1: men access to women's bathrooms in schools and for biological
36:49
Speaker 1: boys to play in girls' sports, saying some things are
36:52
Speaker 1: more important than fair competition in sports.

Speaker 11: Great to be here. Wonderful, cool morning to start the day.
38:13
Speaker 5: I know. Also, I want his own mic for a change.
38:16
Speaker 5: Collin Killian. What's up, Collin?
38:17
Speaker 11: I'm here.
38:18
Speaker 7: All right.
38:19
Speaker 5: So I we I want to go through a few things.
38:24
Speaker 5: And I know we talked about Hannah's law, the safe
38:29
Speaker 5: passing measure a little bit earlier this week. But we
38:32
Speaker 5: did want to give you the opportunity to talk a
38:34
Speaker 5: little bit about. From your perspective, the necessity of this,
38:39
Speaker 5: where this comes from and how in your mind it'll
38:44
Speaker 5: play out and be executed.
38:45
Speaker 11: Great, great ordinance.
38:47
Speaker 33: I had the honor of working with the advocates and
38:51
Speaker 33: sponsors of this ordinance.
38:54
Speaker 11: Kind of a tragic story that led to where we
38:57
Speaker 11: are right now.
38:57
Speaker 33: A young lady was riding her bike on a Saturday
39:01
Speaker 33: morning and unfortunately had an accident. And that kind of
39:05
Speaker 33: what stemmed the necessity to create this type of ordinance.
39:10
Speaker 5: Now, we say accident, but that's a murder charge. Are
39:14
Speaker 5: we talking about Hannah? That's correct. That was a homicide.
39:18
Speaker 11: That is correct.
39:18
Speaker 5: So that was an intentional, you know, alleged murder. intentional act.
39:24
Speaker 11: Right. And so basically what that led to was.
39:27
Speaker 33: A lot of discussion about, you know, since we have
39:30
Speaker 33: so many micro mobility community here in College Station, of course,
39:35
Speaker 33: College Town, a lot of folks riding their bicycles. We
39:38
Speaker 33: wanted to create some type of safety for those individuals.
39:43
Speaker 33: And unfortunately, that that incident kind of brought it to
39:46
Speaker 33: the forefront of where we are right now. And so
39:49
Speaker 33: council last time we met.
39:52
Speaker 11: Uh, passed the, an ordinance.
39:54
Speaker 33: Uh, basically now vehicles need to be three feet from
39:59
Speaker 33: the pedestrian. I mean, from the cyclist, commercial vehicles need
40:02
Speaker 33: to be six feet. And, and we did that in
40:05
Speaker 33: honor of Hannah's and we're going to actually call it Hannah's,
40:07
Speaker 33: Hannah's law, Hannah's ordinance.
40:09
Speaker 11: And so, uh, we're really proud of where we are.
40:11
Speaker 11: It might be tough to enforce.
40:13
Speaker 5: That's my, that's my followup is that the big question
40:16
Speaker 5: that a lot of people, well, there's two big questions
40:18
Speaker 5: a lot of people have raised. Um, Since since this
40:21
Speaker 5: came up, question number one is, again, the the enforceable
40:25
Speaker 5: sites will start with that. How do you feel that's
40:28
Speaker 5: going to play out or has law enforcement weighed in?
40:31
Speaker 5: Do they have an opinion on how to effectively do this?
40:34
Speaker 33: Yeah, and I think probably initially it's going to be
40:37
Speaker 33: an education. We need to educate the community about this
40:42
Speaker 33: ordinance and stuff like that. So I think that there's
40:44
Speaker 33: going to be, you know, the police force is going
40:47
Speaker 33: to really kind of use that as an educational opportunities
40:50
Speaker 33: that they see a violation. they might stop them and
40:53
Speaker 33: kind of educate them on what the new ordinance does.
40:56
Speaker 33: It will be hard to enforce, but at least we
40:58
Speaker 33: have it on the books. We have it on the books,
41:00
Speaker 33: and I think people, I think this community appreciates safety.
41:06
Speaker 33: appreciate what council and the city does in order to
41:09
Speaker 33: help the community be safe. And I think even though
41:12
Speaker 33: it will be hard to enforce, that will be something
41:14
Speaker 33: that a lot of our citizens will comply with.
41:18
Speaker 5: I do love the idea of obviously anything that's going
41:22
Speaker 5: to make people think even for an extra second.
41:25
Speaker 29: Sure.
41:26
Speaker 5: About driving cautiously and with people who are vulnerable users
41:32
Speaker 5: of the road in mind.
41:33
Speaker 11: You bet.
41:34
Speaker 5: My question is, are we looking at anything to try
41:38
Speaker 5: to address the misuse of city streets for things like
41:43
Speaker 5: main lanes, scooters, regular bicycles, e-bikes? And no is a
41:48
Speaker 5: fine answer, or if there's something, hey, we know about this,
41:51
Speaker 5: we're still looking at it, because I'll be the first
41:53
Speaker 5: to say, I don't know how you solved that problem.
41:54
Speaker 5: I really don't.
41:55
Speaker 11: Yeah, no, I think that's something that we discussed.
41:58
Speaker 33: I think one of the committees that we have is
42:01
Speaker 33: our bicycle.
42:02
Speaker 11: And pedestrian committee.
42:03
Speaker 23: Right.
42:04
Speaker 11: You know, Councilman Scott Schaefer is chairman of that committee.
42:08
Speaker 33: He's a very avid cyclist.
42:11
Speaker 10: Right.
42:11
Speaker 33: And I think he really has led that committee to
42:14
Speaker 33: bring that issue to the forefront and bring some solutions
42:19
Speaker 33: that we can, as council, can.
42:21
Speaker 11: Deliberate and discuss. So it is something. It is something
42:25
Speaker 11: that I think is very, very important.
42:27
Speaker 9: Yeah.
42:27
Speaker 33: Once again, the education, we're working with A & M
42:31
Speaker 33: trying to educate their internal operations to educate the students.
42:37
Speaker 33: Because the students and the citizens are two different groups.
42:40
Speaker 5: And again, like I said, this is not me trying
42:44
Speaker 5: to nitpick or poke holes at all. I genuinely don't
42:48
Speaker 5: know what the solution is. But I think we all
42:51
Speaker 5: can agree when it comes to pedestrians, when it comes
42:54
Speaker 5: to bikes, just, again, non-car drivers, this is becoming something
43:00
Speaker 5: over the past couple of years where it is concerning
43:03
Speaker 5: to see the number of auto-pedestrian accidents that we have.
43:06
Speaker 5: It's incredibly concerning.
43:08
Speaker 23: You bet.
43:08
Speaker 5: It's incredibly concerning to see it affect cyclists, too. I
43:11
Speaker 5: hate that. With that said, one of the committees, the
43:15
Speaker 5: new committee, which I guess we should probably, if you
43:19
Speaker 5: have not heard of the Legislative Engagement Committee, do you
43:22
Speaker 5: want to explain what that does?
43:23
Speaker 11: Yeah, no, this is something that I'm super excited about.
43:25
Speaker 11: Council created the Legislative Engagement Committee a couple of years ago.
43:31
Speaker 33: This is kind of a passion that I have is
43:33
Speaker 33: to kind of Keep track of what's happening in Austin,
43:37
Speaker 33: because what happened in Austin is actually going to affect
43:39
Speaker 33: what happens in the.
43:40
Speaker 11: City of College Station.
43:41
Speaker 5: Almost every single time.
43:42
Speaker 19: You bet.
43:42
Speaker 33: I'm very involved with the Texas Municipal League, kind of
43:46
Speaker 33: on their policy committee as well. We learned that over
43:49
Speaker 33: 25% of the bills that are filed in Austin deal
43:53
Speaker 33: with local government.
43:55
Speaker 11: And so I think it's important.
43:56
Speaker 33: What my goal is, is to try to keep the
44:00
Speaker 33: citizens informed of what's happening in Austin.
44:03
Speaker 11: Not that we want them to take our point of view, but.
44:06
Speaker 33: To let them know what issues in Austin are taking
44:10
Speaker 33: place and let them make the decisions. But I think
44:13
Speaker 33: this is kind of unique to our community. I'm not
44:16
Speaker 33: sure if Brian or the county has something like that.
44:19
Speaker 33: but I think it's something that I'm really excited about
44:22
Speaker 33: to kind of keep a pulse of what's happening in
44:25
Speaker 33: Austin and how it affects us.
44:26
Speaker 5: Well, I'll tell you the thing that, and here's the
44:28
Speaker 5: intersection of the two things. One of the, uh, the
44:31
Speaker 5: things that, that, you discovered and again, through this committee
44:35
Speaker 5: is there, there might be a possibility again, albeit a
44:38
Speaker 5: lot of, of coordination to, to start to get some
44:41
Speaker 5: improvement on some of the crosswalk situation.
44:43
Speaker 11: Absolutely. That crosswalk is something that we've talked about.
44:47
Speaker 33: Um, I think it's going to really help that Northgate area,
44:50
Speaker 33: but I will tell you, it's going to take, it's
44:52
Speaker 33: going to take coordination. It's going to take coordination from
44:55
Speaker 33: our state government. You take coordination from our, from our national, um, uh,
44:59
Speaker 33: members as well. So I, It's just kind of in
45:04
Speaker 33: the beginning stages of putting this puzzle together and finding
45:07
Speaker 33: the funding sources that we need to make it happen.
45:10
Speaker 33: But I'm excited that it's on the radar. I think
45:13
Speaker 33: TxDOT is aware of it as well. So a lot
45:16
Speaker 33: of discussion to be had in the near future, but
45:19
Speaker 33: something that I think is going to pay major dividends
45:22
Speaker 33: in the future.
45:22
Speaker 5: Agreed. I think it's an incredible opportunity. And like you said,
45:26
Speaker 5: it's not saying there's not a ton of work that's
45:28
Speaker 5: going to have to be done to get there, but-
45:30
Speaker 5: It's nice that it's on the radar.
45:31
Speaker 17: Yes.
45:31
Speaker 11: The train that's left the station.
45:33
Speaker 5: So we're going to get to an election and then
45:35
Speaker 5: we're going to get a new session. What are some
45:37
Speaker 5: of the things that you're expecting? Again, not knowing where
45:41
Speaker 5: the leaves fall. What are some of the issues that
45:44
Speaker 5: you're expecting will come up in this session that you
45:46
Speaker 5: think might be of impact directly to College Station?
45:50
Speaker 33: Well, I think that you're going to see a lot
45:54
Speaker 33: of deliberation over at the Capitol about putting caps on
45:58
Speaker 33: funding for the cities.
46:01
Speaker 11: I think there's going to be some legislation that's going.
46:03
Speaker 33: To talk about capping appraisal You know, the homestead exemption
46:08
Speaker 33: is definitely going to be something that's.
46:10
Speaker 11: Going to be discussed.
46:12
Speaker 33: You know, they're looking at us, and we're trying to
46:17
Speaker 33: run the city in such a way where we're not
46:21
Speaker 33: able to really increase the revenue in order to keep
46:24
Speaker 33: up with the stuff.
46:26
Speaker 11: So those are the things.
46:27
Speaker 33: That are going to be discussed in Austin that I
46:30
Speaker 33: think that our citizens need to be aware of. uh,
46:33
Speaker 33: that could truly impact where our tax dollars are going
46:36
Speaker 33: to be applied in the future.
46:38
Speaker 5: It's going to be interesting. It's, it's so wide ranging
46:39
Speaker 5: and I, I know other people are going to, obviously
46:42
Speaker 5: the cameras, flock cameras are going to probably come up
46:45
Speaker 5: there too. I'd be shocked if it didn't.
46:47
Speaker 7: Yeah.
46:47
Speaker 11: Cop controller just came out just recently, I think yesterday.
46:51
Speaker 33: Um, with a statement that no longer will the state
46:55
Speaker 33: fund give grants to agencies that are going to be
46:59
Speaker 33: flock cameras. Flock cameras are going to be a big issue, right?
47:02
Speaker 33: I think it's going to come in the state legislature.
47:05
Speaker 33: I can foresee that with new counsel coming in here
47:08
Speaker 33: in College Station. We might revisit that issue. It's a
47:11
Speaker 33: safety issue. I think I'm the one who supported it,
47:15
Speaker 33: but totally understand where.
47:19
Speaker 33: The privacy issue is, and I'm in total favor of that.
47:22
Speaker 11: I don't want government knowing where I'm going all.
47:25
Speaker 33: The time, but you have to really, in my opinion,
47:29
Speaker 33: take a look at the safety side of it as well.
47:31
Speaker 5: I'll tell you where I appreciate the position the council
47:36
Speaker 5: took as someone that really, again, I think it's the
47:39
Speaker 5: creepiest thing ever. That said, there are advantages to it, obviously,
47:43
Speaker 5: the law enforcement, but the amount of of pending rulings
47:49
Speaker 5: from either like you mentioned the comptroller's ruling obviously a
47:52
Speaker 5: legislative session and that doesn't even bring in courts into
47:55
Speaker 5: the situation acting on it before all of that to
47:58
Speaker 5: me feels like a risk slightly premature so i i
48:02
Speaker 5: i understand now i think people are going to be
48:04
Speaker 5: impatient like hey we want to stop now but like
48:07
Speaker 5: maybe letting it play out might be the solution.
48:09
Speaker 33: Well and i think i think so i think the
48:11
Speaker 33: um um You know, the courts are definitely going to.
48:14
Speaker 11: They have ruled in this case as well. But I
48:19
Speaker 11: think there's probably going to be.
48:22
Speaker 33: A lot of discussion about what block actually can do
48:26
Speaker 33: and what the privacy and the security aspects.
48:29
Speaker 11: They're building more of those into their system right now.
48:32
Speaker 5: Yeah.
48:32
Speaker 11: But I talked to the police chief last night.
48:35
Speaker 33: Another incident recently came up here in College Station where
48:39
Speaker 33: we were able to really apprehend a... A murder suspect
48:45
Speaker 33: that really was going to be a danger to our city,
48:48
Speaker 33: and we were able to apprehend that person.
48:51

54:20
Speaker 8: Diddy done messed up.
54:21
Speaker 5: Diddy was living the high life in prison, which was
54:25
Speaker 5: a story. It was like he had basically found a

54:29
Speaker 5: give them extra food.
54:30
Speaker 8: Get people cooking for him.

Speaker 5: Yeah, all of that.
54:39
Speaker 8: He was living pretty good.
54:41
Speaker 5: And so they caught onto that and they took it
54:43
Speaker 5: all away because that's what they would do.
54:45
Speaker 8: In that situation. Well, I mean, TMZ came and messed
54:47
Speaker 8: this whole deal up and reported on it. So now
54:49
Speaker 8: the guards had to go in there, take all the
54:52
Speaker 8: goodies away. But they didn't just take them away from Diddy.
54:55
Speaker 5: No, they didn't.
54:56
Speaker 8: They took it away from Dudas.

55:01
Speaker 8: Dudas, sorry.
55:02
Speaker 5: Dudas is a bad guy. Dudas is a Jamaican drug lord.

Speaker 5: Diddy got done got messed up by Dudus and is still...
55:14
Speaker 5: You know what actually knows? He's like, hey, he's in solitary.
55:17
Speaker 5: They don't know if it's in a medical facility or what,
55:20
Speaker 5: but there's nothing more delicious. When a fish meets a
