1:12
Speaker 1: social media. There will be a Buc-ee's pop-up on the

Speaker 1: House announced on Facebook yesterday that they will close their

Speaker 1: doors in December. Their last day of business is scheduled
1:55
Speaker 1: for Saturday, December 19th. The pub and restaurant in Midtown
1:59
Speaker 1: Bryan opened in 2023. Many local food reviewers online have
2:03
Speaker 1: said it is one of the best hamburgers in town.
2:07
Speaker 1: Green energy may not be as good for the earth
2:09
Speaker 1: as some claim.
2:10
Speaker 2: A newly released study found that wind turbines and solar
2:13
Speaker 2: panels need much more land to get the same output
2:16
Speaker 2: as fossil fuels, and that land gets trashed.
2:18
Speaker 3: Solar is seven to eight times more land and wind
2:22
Speaker 3: is 25 times more land per unit of energy.
2:25
Speaker 2: Brent Bennett with the group Life Powered says there are
2:27
Speaker 2: also huge piles of unwanted wind turbine parts which cannot
2:29
Speaker 2: be recycled. There has been a push in Austin to
2:32
Speaker 2: require green energy companies to have a cleanup fund and
2:35
Speaker 2: that's expected to come back up for debate this upcoming session.
2:38
Speaker 1: In San Antonio, Michael Board, TSN News. Congratulations to the

3:47
Speaker 4: Getting down to 53 tonight, so nice and brisk, breezy today,
3:54
Speaker 4: and not really seeing a high beyond what we have
3:56
Speaker 4: right here. Kind of 70s. Going to hover around there
3:59
Speaker 4: at the max for the rest of the day. Then
4:00
Speaker 4: get back up to the 70s tomorrow. Weather is brought
4:03
Speaker 4: to you by Malik. Be prepared for the next power
4:06
Speaker 4: outage with Malik Service Company and a whole home backup

Speaker 4: generator from Generac. Call Malik to schedule your appointment today.
4:12
Speaker 1: Let's... I've got to look at the radar, Tucker.
4:14
Speaker 3: Oh, oh, oh.
4:16
Speaker 5: Sorry.
4:16
Speaker 1: We have developments.
4:18
Speaker 6: Where?
4:19
Speaker 1: Out between kind of Snook and Lyons, out toward Lake Somerville,
4:23
Speaker 1: we do have a decent shower that looks like it
4:26
Speaker 1: is not disintegrating and has a chance.
4:28
Speaker 7: Okay.
4:29
Speaker 1: Has a chance to get out. There is some scattered showers.
4:31
Speaker 1: Some may be moderate that are moving in now, but
4:34
Speaker 1: they're not big. This other one?
4:36
Speaker 4: Got a little weight to it. Got a little weight
4:38
Speaker 4: to it. Maybe it'll bail us out.
4:40
Speaker 1: Got our fingers crossed.
4:41
Speaker 4: Let's have some fun with state songs.
4:43
Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
4:44
Speaker 4: What's the one state that does not have a state song? Will,
4:47
Speaker 4: do you know?
4:47
Speaker 1: The one state that does not have a state song.
4:49
Speaker 3: Yeah.
4:50
Speaker 1: I'm going to guess Alaska. No, it's New Jersey.
4:55
Speaker 4: Do you know why New Jersey does not have a
4:57
Speaker 4: state song? Minus the fact they never adopted one.
5:00
Speaker 1: Because of the fact that whatever it was, you probably
5:02
Speaker 1: couldn't play it on the air due to FCC regulations.
5:05
Speaker 8: No, no.
5:05
Speaker 4: They thought about doing Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen.
5:08
Speaker 1: Yeah.
5:09
Speaker 4: A great song, great Jersey vibe.
5:11
Speaker 9: Yeah.
5:12
Speaker 4: Problem is people realized in the state Senate when they
5:16
Speaker 4: were trying to make this happen that the song's lyrics
5:18
Speaker 4: really depict a desire to leave New Jersey.
5:21
Speaker 10: Yeah.
5:21
Speaker 4: And they gave up after that.
5:22
Speaker 1: It's kind of like Born in the USA, which everybody
5:24
Speaker 1: thinks is a patriotic song.
5:26
Speaker 11: Well.
5:27
Speaker 1: It's a furthest thing from it.
5:28
Speaker 4: Not in the sense that you guys think it is.
5:30
Speaker 12: Nope.
5:31
Speaker 10: Yeah.
5:32
Speaker 4: So a lot of Bruce's songs that way. But yeah,
5:34
Speaker 4: so they gave up after that.
5:34
Speaker 1: And as far as I'm concerned, after Nebraska, Bruce really
5:38
Speaker 1: didn't do anything from an album perspective that I liked.
5:41
Speaker 4: I think that's fair to say, Will. Also, do you
5:45
Speaker 4: know Ohio is the only state to have an official
5:48
Speaker 4: rock song?
5:49
Speaker 1: I did not, but seeing how it's the Rock and
5:51
Speaker 1: Roll Hall of Fame for whatever that's worth.
5:52
Speaker 4: That's right, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. All
5:55
Speaker 4: of the rock to choose from.
5:56
Speaker 3: All of it.
5:57
Speaker 4: And they went with this.
5:58
Speaker 1: I think that was done before the Rock and Roll
6:04
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame came along, back when Hang On Sloopy
6:07
Speaker 1: was the epitome of metal music. Because this was edgy
6:13
Speaker 1: back then.
6:15
Speaker 4: Yeah, Ohioans love that. Ohioans, whatever, love that song. It's weird.
6:21
Speaker 4: I actually never knew why they were so obsessed with
6:23
Speaker 4: it and then found out it was the state song
6:25
Speaker 4: and then it was like, okay, well, it adds up. Also,
6:28
Speaker 4: the unofficial fight song of the Ohio State Buckeyes.
6:31
Speaker 1: It's not really a fight song. It's like, hang on.
6:36
Speaker 4: No, it's like Michigan and that stupid bright side thing
6:39
Speaker 4: that they do. They think it's cute. But they're from
6:41
Speaker 4: the Midwest. They don't really, you know.
6:43
Speaker 1: They don't know cute.
6:44
Speaker 4: Just not, you know. They're mid. They like mid things.
6:48
Speaker 4: That's okay.
6:49
Speaker 1: Mid, Midwest, mid things.
6:51
Speaker 13: Exactly.
6:53
Speaker 4: Now, who is the only artist to have notched two
6:57
Speaker 4: state songs?
7:00
Speaker 14: Two.
7:01
Speaker 3: Two.
7:02
Speaker 1: I don't know, man. No idea.
7:06
Speaker 11: No idea.
7:08
Speaker 4: Colorado.
7:08
Speaker 1: John Denver. There you go.
7:10
Speaker 4: And, of course. And, of course, the other one. By
7:13
Speaker 4: the way, while we're talking about this, with Rocky Mountain High,
7:16
Speaker 4: some people believe it's not actually Colorado's state song because
7:20
Speaker 4: it references getting high. And they thought that might, you know,
7:24
Speaker 4: hurt their chances.
7:25
Speaker 13: No.
7:25
Speaker 1: They didn't care. It fits now.
7:27
Speaker 4: It's also Colorado.
7:28
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely fits now.
7:29
Speaker 4: Who did you think that was going to deter?
7:32
Speaker 7: Alabama.
7:33
Speaker 4: Of course.
7:34
Speaker 1: No.
7:34
Speaker 4: This isn't a state song.
7:36
Speaker 1: No.
7:37
Speaker 5: No.
7:37
Speaker 4: Shockingly, shockingly. Oh, no, sorry. Sweet Home Alabama won of
7:44
Speaker 4: the state songs.
7:45
Speaker 1: It is the only state song.
7:47
Speaker 4: It's about to be surprising. What else did you have?
7:50
Speaker 4: What are you all going to do if it's not
7:53
Speaker 4: Sweet Home? Obviously, I want to say a couple of
7:56
Speaker 4: states use this guy. The West Virginians really love it.
8:03
Speaker 1: They love it.
8:04
Speaker 4: Because of obvious reasons.
8:06
Speaker 1: Take me home, West Virginia.
8:07
Speaker 4: It's very unsettling when you hear West Virginians actually sing
8:10
Speaker 4: this because it's usually very loud and they're very intoxicated
8:14
Speaker 4: when they do so.
8:15
Speaker 1: And it's also difficult for them to enunciate without teeth.
8:20
Speaker 4: What's Texas State's song?
8:22
Speaker 1: Oh, Texas, my Texas.
8:23
Speaker 10: You got it.
8:24
Speaker 4: Our Texas, our Texas.
8:27
Speaker 1: All hail the mighty state.
8:31
Speaker 4: See, I've got a kid's choir singing it.
8:33
Speaker 1: Can't hate that.
8:34
Speaker 4: No, cannot. Now, let's say that we didn't have Texas,
8:40
Speaker 4: our Texas.
8:41
Speaker 15: Hmm.
8:41
Speaker 4: Just say it doesn't exist like that. What would be?
8:46
Speaker 1: That was abrupt.
8:47
Speaker 4: The state song. Or what should be the state song?
8:52
Speaker 1: ZZ Top's LaGrange.
8:53
Speaker 16: Ooh.
8:55
Speaker 4: Good start.
8:56
Speaker 1: That was just right off the top of the head.
8:58
Speaker 1: Good start. I mean, there's a million of them that
9:00
Speaker 1: you could pick out.
9:01
Speaker 4: This is what I ask you guys this morning as
9:03
Speaker 4: we have a few minutes to contemplate. Again, if you
9:06
Speaker 4: don't have Texas or Texas, which some would say. Maybe
9:10
Speaker 4: it would be time to replace Texas, our Texas with
9:12
Speaker 4: something a little more modern. But I didn't say that.
9:15
Speaker 1: No, not me. And some might say this is just
9:17
Speaker 1: speculative here. We're not advocating getting rid of Texas, our Texas.
9:21
Speaker 4: But if you didn't have that song, what should the
9:25
Speaker 4: state song be in your opinion? Nine, seven, nine, six, nine, five, 16, 20.
9:31
Speaker 4: We'll give you guys. few minutes to uh let that marinate.
9:35

13:45
Speaker 7: 979-695-1620.
13:45
Speaker 4: And we are asking you, in a situation where Texas
13:50
Speaker 4: R Texas was not a song anymore. We needed a
13:53
Speaker 4: new state song.
13:54
Speaker 7: What do you go with?
13:56
Speaker 4: What do you go with?
13:57
Speaker 1: There's been lots of great suggestions.
13:58
Speaker 4: Let's start working our way through these because we're taking
14:02
Speaker 4: this in a variety of different ways.
14:04
Speaker 1: Nathan says, that's Texas by Cody Johnson.
14:08
Speaker 7: Great song.
14:08
Speaker 1: Good song. Don't know that it's the song.
14:11
Speaker 4: A little too soon. Because this has been texted in
14:14
Speaker 4: several times, I just fundamentally disagree with it. Too soon.
14:17
Speaker 1: Yeah.
14:18
Speaker 4: Give it 20 years and there might be a chance.
14:21
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously a killer tune. It's blown up everywhere,
14:25
Speaker 1: but it's too new. The new is still on that one.
14:30
Speaker 4: Give it some time to bake. And I say the
14:31
Speaker 4: same for Kojo, too, as much as I love Cody.
14:33
Speaker 4: Maybe one day, but not two days.
14:36
Speaker 1: Rob says, God bless Texas. That's a good one.
14:39
Speaker 4: That's a great one. I would like to suggest to
14:44
Speaker 4: the room, and I have not seen this texted in yet,
14:47
Speaker 4: But I think it should be at least considered. Gene Autry,
14:50
Speaker 4: ladies and gentlemen.
14:52
Speaker 12: Yep.
14:52
Speaker 4: Like, I mean, isn't this the easiest answer?
14:54
Speaker 1: Deep in the heart.
14:55
Speaker 4: Because we all know it. And it's got a clap track.
14:58
Speaker 1: If you've got a clap track.
15:04
Speaker 4: We all know what to do.
15:05
Speaker 1: It's a solid answer. Although I think, I mean, it's
15:08
Speaker 1: a little, I don't know.
15:10
Speaker 4: It's just not, it doesn't yield emotion.
15:15
Speaker 1: I don't think so.
15:16
Speaker 4: Okay, I'll give you another option here. There's another choice
15:20
Speaker 4: that I think might resonate for some of you guys
15:24
Speaker 4: as a possibility.
15:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean.
15:27
Speaker 4: We have a lot of suggestions by The King.
15:30
Speaker 7: This would be my.
15:31

22:46
Speaker 12: of halftime somewhere?
22:47
Speaker 1: No, they don't. Not anymore. At one point in time,
22:49

Speaker 4: because that's what, you know.
22:55

23:12
Speaker 4: like frankly no.
23:13
Speaker 12: Yeah i don't know it would be a challenge i
23:15
Speaker 12: think to match uh Match the emotive force behind that.
23:18
Speaker 1: But can you imagine a football crowd singing along to
23:22
Speaker 1: what I like about Texas?
23:23
Speaker 12: Now, I would pay to hear a marching band playing,
23:26
Speaker 12: you know, let's see, London Homesick Blues.
23:30
Speaker 1: Yeah.
23:31

25:01
Speaker 9: Good.
25:01
Speaker 4: Are you enjoying the fall? Or is it fall-like outside
25:03
Speaker 4: or is it still swamp-like?
25:05
Speaker 25: It's pretty swampy. I will say a little further north,
25:09
Speaker 25: like in Roberson, it started to get cooler. But as
25:11
Speaker 25: I drove here, it just like.
25:13
Speaker 4: Yeah, it all fell apart.
25:14
Speaker 25: Yeah.
25:14
Speaker 4: It all fell apart.
25:15
Speaker 25: But it's coming.
25:16
Speaker 1: It's coming. Winter is coming.
25:18
Speaker 4: One day. What do we have going on this week?
25:20
Speaker 25: So, you know, we're still in Bark Leader. There's a
25:22
Speaker 25: couple weeks left.
25:23
Speaker 4: I thought we were done with Bark Leader.
25:25
Speaker 25: No, it's a long campaign.
25:26
Speaker 7: Okay.
25:27
Speaker 25: There's about a little less than three weeks left. And
25:29
Speaker 25: here's the thing. We still want to raise about $ 3, 000
25:32
Speaker 25: more with Bark Leader. So we've got to get on
25:35
Speaker 25: and support those pets.
25:36
Speaker 4: Well, that's attainable.
25:37
Speaker 16: Oh, for sure.
25:38
Speaker 4: Attainable?
25:38
Speaker 25: Yeah.
25:39
Speaker 23: Yeah.
25:39
Speaker 1: Easily done.
25:40
Speaker 4: Absolutely. If you have a really cute dog. Now is
25:44
Speaker 4: the time to enter the contest and try to snatch
25:47
Speaker 4: it away from the end.
25:48
Speaker 25: Or if you need that serotonin boost, you need something
25:50
Speaker 25: to distract you from all of the things that is today.
25:55
Speaker 1: All of the things, yeah.
25:56
Speaker 25: You can go on to AgulandHumane.org. Look at the Pets
25:59
Speaker 25: and Bark Leader. Look at our cute adoptables. I mean,
26:02
Speaker 25: that's kind of what I'm going to be doing today. Look,
26:04
Speaker 25: I early voted. I did my part.
26:05
Speaker 1: You can get over just about anything by going online.
26:09
Speaker 1: To the Angolan Humane Society website, looking for the pets
26:12
Speaker 1: that are adoptable.
26:14
Speaker 4: I think this is the perfect day to absolutely just
26:18
Speaker 4: take a break from everything and just look at pictures
26:21
Speaker 4: of the dogs and the cats and the puppies. the kittens.
26:24
Speaker 25: There's a lot of cuties on there.
26:26
Speaker 4: There are.

Speaker 25: And I will say, if you're in the market, we
26:29
Speaker 25: are going to be participating in an event this Sunday. Now, granted,
26:33
Speaker 25: it's a little bit of a drive. We are going
26:35
Speaker 25: to be joining a lot of friends and Petco love
26:38
Speaker 25: for their Jump Into Joy adoption event this weekend over
26:43
Speaker 25: at Reliant Arena in In Houston.
26:45
Speaker 4: You're going all the way to Hawaii. Okay, what is this?

Speaker 1: Big City Dogs and Cats.
26:49
Speaker 25: Yeah, Big City Dogs and Cats. We are bringing about
26:52
Speaker 25: 20 dogs and puppies, and we are participating on Sunday only.
26:58
Speaker 25: So we're coming in because it is a long drive, right?
27:00
Speaker 25: We're going to hit one day only. But it's a
27:02
Speaker 25: two-day event that has over 1,500 adoptable dogs.
27:07
Speaker 4: What on earth? That's insane.
27:10
Speaker 25: No, it's massive. But I will say, when you walk in,
27:12
Speaker 25: the way they do this event.
27:13
Speaker 4: It's Adopt-a-Con.
27:15
Speaker 25: It really is. And this is going to be our
27:18
Speaker 25: fourth year participating. So it's a lot of fun. But
27:20
Speaker 25: they set it up so that it's not insanely overwhelming.
27:23
Speaker 7: Yeah.
27:24
Speaker 25: Because it sounds like.
27:25
Speaker 4: Well, 1,500 dogs and cats is a lot.
27:28
Speaker 25: It's a lot.
27:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a whole vibe.
27:30
Speaker 25: But we will be there. We're going to bring some
27:32
Speaker 25: really great cuties, some that are making their adoption debut.
27:36
Speaker 25: And so, you know, if you're in Houston, maybe, you know,
27:38
Speaker 25: you came here, you went to A & M, and
27:40
Speaker 25: then you moved back to wherever. Come on out. Come visit.

Speaker 1: Have y'all been talking?
27:53

28:20
Speaker 25: right now. We have some German Shepherds and some Great Danes,

Speaker 25: It looks like we haven't updated his picture yet. But
29:07
Speaker 25: Pirate Pete, we partner with various groomers throughout the area.
29:11
Speaker 25: And so earlier or last week, Pirate Pete went to
29:14
Speaker 25: Groom Bar. And they so generously donated their time and
29:17
Speaker 25: their services. Good job, Groom Bar. And Pirate Pete looks

29:45
Speaker 4: I think it's a wonderful idea.
29:47
Speaker 1: I love it.
29:47
Speaker 4: Uh, anything else we need to get to this week?
29:49
Speaker 25: Those are the big things. Thank you so much.

Speaker 26: I'm Nicole Murray with your money. Now, yum brands beat
29:55
Speaker 26: wall street's quarterly earnings estimates and its revenue was in
29:58
Speaker 26: line with expectations. Taco Bell's same-store sales declined as a
30:03
Speaker 26: cyclospora outbreak tied to lettuce served at its restaurant's wait
30:06
Speaker 26: on traffic. During the quarter, Yum also completed its divestiture
30:10
Speaker 26: of Pizza Hut. Eligible Trump account holders will begin receiving
30:14
Speaker 26: donated shares of SpaceX stock from President and COO Gwynne
30:18
Speaker 26: Shotwell in December. CNBC reports that the donation will go
30:22
Speaker 26: directly into about two million investment accounts of kids ages

30:29
Speaker 26: family incomes of.
30:31
Speaker 20: $ 57, 000 or less.
30:33
Speaker 26: Lufthansa trimmed its profit outlook as the German airline's estimated
30:36
Speaker 26: jet fuel bill for 2026 rose to $ 10. 3 billion, although
30:42
Speaker 26: its third quarter results were in line with forecasts. European
30:45
Speaker 26: carriers have warned that the rising cost of jet fuel
30:47
Speaker 26: will weigh on their outlooks.

Speaker 19: It's election day, and after all the sometimes controversial computerized
31:56
Speaker 19: high-tech devices counting our votes tonight, things could still come
32:00
Speaker 19: down to, believe it or not, a roll of the dice.
32:03
Speaker 19: I'm Kim Commando for NordVPN. I tested the leading VPNs
32:07
Speaker 19: and NordVPN came out on top. Switch and save up

32:14
Speaker 19: challenged or extremely close, a random selection of ballots will
32:17
Speaker 19: often be chosen for an audit.
32:19
Speaker 1: But which ones?
32:20
Speaker 19: In some states, officials roll special 10-sided dice in public
32:24
Speaker 19: to build a random number at least 20 digits long.
32:28
Speaker 19: That long number then feeds the software into That selects
32:30
Speaker 19: the actual original paper ballots for the audit. So after
32:34
Speaker 19: all the sophisticated high-tech systems, counting our votes can come
32:37
Speaker 19: down to one of humanity's oldest tools, a 12,000-year random
32:42
Speaker 19: number generator. And even though it's an ancient practice, technology
32:46
Speaker 19: will still be there. Each roll of the dice will

32:53
Speaker 19: I've used the same VPN for years. Then it started
32:55
Speaker 19: getting slower and clunkier. So I did exactly what I
32:59
Speaker 19: tell you to do, and I shopped around. I tested
33:02
Speaker 19: all the big names, and NordVPN came out on top.

Speaker 22: Hi, I'm Peyton Holt. I'm running for College Station City Council,
33:56
Speaker 22: Place 5. I'm a College Station attorney, small business owner,
34:00
Speaker 22: and Pebble Creek resident. My career in business and real
34:03
Speaker 22: estate law has taught me the importance of planning, accountability,
34:06
Speaker 22: and getting things done. My first priority is simple. Public
34:10
Speaker 22: safety comes first. I'm proud to be endorsed by the
34:12
Speaker 22: College Station Police Officers Association and the College Station Firefighters.
34:17
Speaker 22: As our city grows, we need intentional, disciplined leadership. That
34:21
Speaker 22: means fixing roads, easing traffic, planning ahead for water drainage
34:25
Speaker 22: and infrastructure. It means responsible budgets, holding the line on taxes,
34:30
Speaker 22: demanding transparency for every taxpayer dollar, supporting local businesses, creating opportunities,
34:36
Speaker 22: and cutting unnecessary red tape. Let's protect what makes College
34:39
Speaker 22: Station special while building a stronger future for our families
34:43
Speaker 22: and businesses. I'm Peyton Holt, City Council Place 5, for

35:23
Speaker 20: In the race for governor, it's chaos versus common sense. First,
35:27
Speaker 20: the chaos brought to you by Gina Hinojosa. She supports
35:30
Speaker 20: open border policies so anyone can just walk in illegally.
35:34
Speaker 20: And once they do, Hinojosa would allow them to vote
35:37
Speaker 20: and get taxpayer funded health care. Gina Hinojosa favors a
35:41
Speaker 20: state income tax and voted 40 times for higher property taxes.
35:45
Speaker 20: And Hinojosa would threaten your safety because she supports defunding
35:48
Speaker 20: the police and letting violent criminals out of jail.
35:52
Speaker 6: But don't worry, because Governor Greg Abbott leads with common sense.
35:56
Speaker 6: Abbott secured the border and cracked down on the deadly
35:59
Speaker 6: drug cartels. He banned a state income tax so you
36:02
Speaker 6: keep more of your money and Texas remains number one
36:05
Speaker 6: in job creations. And Governor Abbott keeps you safe by
36:08
Speaker 6: fully funding the police and keeping violent criminals locked up.
36:12
Speaker 1: That's the choice, Texas.
36:13
Speaker 6: The chaos that Gina Hinojosa would bring or the common
36:17
Speaker 6: sense leadership of Governor Greg Abbott.
36:19
Speaker 1: Political ad paid for by Texans for Greg Abbott. Good
36:25
Speaker 1: morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm Will Welch. A man
36:30
Speaker 1: is facing several charges after pointing a gun at another
36:33
Speaker 1: driver during a road rage incident in broad daylight. College
36:37
Speaker 1: Station Police say 21-year-old Peyton Groeschel of Katy aimed the
36:40
Speaker 1: firearm in the direction of the other motorist while on
36:43
Speaker 1: Highway 6 around 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The complainant said
36:47
Speaker 1: Groeschel was driving aggressively and admitted making a hand gesture
36:50
Speaker 1: towards him. That's when Groeschel allegedly opened the truck's rear
36:54
Speaker 1: window and pointed a black object at him. Police conducted
36:58
Speaker 1: a felony traffic stop on Highway 6 northbound near Harvey
37:01
Speaker 1: Mitchell Parkway and found a Kel-Tec Sub 2000 9mm short-barreled
37:05
Speaker 1: rifle in the backseat. A passenger in Groeschel's vehicle says
37:09
Speaker 1: the driver cut them off and repeatedly slammed on his brakes,
37:13
Speaker 1: but denies the firearm was displayed. Upon further search of
37:16
Speaker 1: the vehicle, officers uncovered a marijuana grinder and synthetic urine kit.
37:21
Speaker 1: Groeschel was charged with deadly conduct, possession of drug paraphernalia,
37:25
Speaker 1: and possession of a drug test falsification device. He is
37:28
Speaker 1: free on $ 10, 000 bond. A College Station police officer has
37:33
Speaker 1: been placed on administrative leave following an arrest on Sunday.
37:36
Speaker 1: 51-year-old Michael Kennedy, a detective with CSPD, was arrested by
37:41
Speaker 1: College Station police on Sunday for assault causing bodily injury
37:44
Speaker 1: family violence. Arrest records say that Kennedy pushed his wife
37:48
Speaker 1: during an argument where she hit her head on a wall.
37:51
Speaker 1: There was a security system in the house that recorded
37:53
Speaker 1: the audio of the event corroborating the wife's story. Internal
37:57
Speaker 1: Affairs will be investigating. Officials say that since it's an
38:01
Speaker 1: active investigation, no further comments will be provided at this time.
38:05
Speaker 1: He is free on $ 10, 000 bond. If you plan to
38:09
Speaker 1: vote at the College Heights Assembly of God on Old
38:12
Speaker 1: College Road in Bryan, you'll have to make alternate plans.
38:15
Speaker 1: Brazos County election officials say the air conditioning has gone out,
38:18
Speaker 1: making the facility unavailable for voting today. They say that

39:29
Speaker 1: scheduled to be on hand. A man was arrested after
39:32
Speaker 1: urinating on people at a Northgate bar. College Station police
39:35
Speaker 1: were flagged down at the spot at 303 Boyette Street
39:39
Speaker 1: on Saturday around 10 p.m. 20-year-old William Eli Whitbeck allegedly
39:43
Speaker 1: urinated on customers and staff while they were checking I.D.,
39:47
Speaker 1: Officers reported seeing urine on the ground outside the entrance
39:50
Speaker 1: and on Whitbeck's pants. Because Whitbeck exposed himself in front
39:54
Speaker 1: of hundreds of people, he was arrested and charged with
39:57
Speaker 1: disorderly conduct by exposure, a Class C misdemeanor. He is
40:01
Speaker 1: free on a $ 300 personal recognizance bond. It's Election Day,
40:05
Speaker 1: and the feds say they busted some people in Texas
40:08
Speaker 1: for trying to vote illegally.
40:10
Speaker 29: The Justice Department says it's charged 195 aliens in 25
40:13
Speaker 29: states with trying to register or vote illegally over the
40:16
Speaker 29: past nine weeks. They say the latest operation led to
40:19
Speaker 29: 63 arrests. Five of those were in Texas. Four were
40:23
Speaker 29: legal residents. Prosecutors say tried to vote in the 2022
40:26
Speaker 29: or 2024 elections. They say the fifth was an illegal
40:28
Speaker 29: alien from Trinidad and Tobago who voted in 2024.
40:32
Speaker 12: U.S.
40:32
Speaker 29: Attorney General Todd Blanch says this was the biggest surge
40:35
Speaker 29: of voter fraud arrests since Donald Trump returned to office.
40:37
Speaker 29: He says the Department of Justice will keep investigating and
40:40
Speaker 29: prosecuting voter fraud to restore confidence in our electoral system.

Speaker 10: As a Texan, you deserve your court system to deliver
42:00
Speaker 10: justice that is fair, understandable, and within reach. Chief Justice
42:04
Speaker 10: Jimmy Blacklock says that starts with judges applying the law
42:07
Speaker 10: as written, so the rules don't change depending on who
42:10
Speaker 10: walks into the courtroom. But fairness also means a court
42:13
Speaker 10: system that works for the people it serves. Blacklock has
42:16
Speaker 10: called for reducing unnecessary delays and expenses, simplifying court procedures,
42:21
Speaker 10: and making legal services more affordable. because a case should
42:25
Speaker 10: be decided on the facts and the law, not on
42:27
Speaker 10: who can afford the longest fight. Texas courts belong to
42:31
Speaker 10: the people. That means judges should be accountable, rules should
42:34
Speaker 10: be clear, and the system should be accessible to those
42:37
Speaker 10: who rely on it. For Blacklock, equal justice means more
42:41
Speaker 10: than a principle. It means a court system Texans can understand, trust,
42:45
Speaker 10: and afford to use. Chief Justice Jimmy Blacklock.
42:49
Speaker 1: Clear rules. Accountable courts.
42:51
Speaker 10: Equal justice under law.
