  Speaker 1: a senior at Texas A & M, has died after
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: two weeks in the ICU. Stallman was on a nine-mile
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: run with a student group on September 15th when he
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: reportedly became disoriented. He was diagnosed with heat stroke and
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: rhabdomyelosis and was airlifted to San Antonio for specialized care
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and spent nearly two weeks in the ICU before his death.

  Speaker 1: Rabdo is a serious condition where damaged muscle tissue breaks
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: down rapidly and releases harmful proteins into the bloodstream. Stallman
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: is the son of Brazoria County Sheriff Bo Stallman. Charges
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: have been filed against a Venezuelan man who was shot
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: by ICE agents in Austin last week. Fox's Jeff Manasso

  Speaker 1: has the story.

  Speaker 2: 28-year-old Wilbur Garcia Perez is charged in federal court in
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Austin with one count of assaulting, resisting, interfering, and impeding
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: a federal officer. Federal prosecutors say Perez, an illegal immigrant
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: with a final order of removal, sideswiped an agent as
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: he fled a traffic stop last week, then attempted to
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: hit another officer before he was shot and injured. Perez's
• 1:07

  Speaker 1: A Texas A & M Corps of Cadets freshman was
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: pepper sprayed in the West Campus garage on Monday afternoon.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Based on the information currently available, University police think the
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: victim may have been targeted because of her fish spurs.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: The traditional bottle cap spurs were the only item taken
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: from the victim. She was treated and released. Anyone with
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: information is encouraged to contact UPD. The owners of Camp
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Mystic are looking to sell off the riverfront property where
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: 27 kids and counselors were killed in a flood. State Rep.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Wes Vertel says this is likely part of a larger
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: plan to keep the camp open.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: I think you'll end up seeing a group of people
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: come together, purchase the camp, and continue on in the
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: tradition that it's had for a long time.
• 2:01

• 2:12
  Speaker 4: convention in Dallas earlier this month.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Rally the base.
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: I would call it the Texas two-step.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: Dorinda Randall chairs the Texas Republican Party.
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: Republicans, we tend to be apathetic when it comes to midterms.
• 2:24
  Speaker 7: We can't be.

  Speaker 4: Vice President Vance will attend a midterm rally in Harlingen
• 2:28

• 4:15
  Speaker 16: can just duplicate that through the end of the weekend.
• 4:19
  Speaker 16: By the end of the weekend, we should barely be
• 4:20
  Speaker 16: getting to 80 degrees, which will be just lovely weather.
• 4:23
  Speaker 16: Brought to you by Malik's Service Company. The Texas Heat
• 4:25
  Speaker 16: air conditioner works overtime, but a well-tuned AC will save
• 4:27
  Speaker 16: you money and keep you comfortable. Turn to the experts
• 4:30
  Speaker 16: at Malik and Carrier to keep your AC running properly. Malik,
• 4:33
  Speaker 16: feel the difference. That story about the Corps member is distressing.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: It is.
• 4:37
  Speaker 12: That is just the wildest thing.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: All I can think about, and if you didn't catch
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: it in the news, there's apparently a freshman female Corps
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: member who was accosted and sprayed with pepper spray so
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: some 6'5 frat boy could steal her fish spurs.
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: 6'5 male.
• 4:55
  Speaker 16: Frat dude, or we don't know if he's in a
• 4:58
  Speaker 16: freak organization.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: One of the fraternal type organizations, probably.
• 5:04
  Speaker 12: Where was she? Was she walking along? What was going on?
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I guess she was in the West Campus parking garage.
• 5:08
  Speaker 12: Why?
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: All I can tell you is.
• 5:10
  Speaker 12: Do we have cameras in there?
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know. All I can tell you is that
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: if that was my daughter, court would be the best
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: thing that could happen to him.
• 5:21
  Speaker 12: I just.
• 5:23
  Speaker 16: I am struggling... I'm struggling to come up with the why.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Look, if you're listening or if you know the guy,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: tell him his only option right now is to turn
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: himself in and come clean because I wouldn't want the
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Corps of Cadets chasing after me.
• 5:38
  Speaker 12: I think you should. Yeah, I think you should turn
• 5:39
  Speaker 12: yourself in. I think you should.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Turn yourself in.
• 5:41
  Speaker 8: Absolutely.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: You have made a critical mistake.
• 5:43
  Speaker 12: I would actually respect that.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Character would be shown if you went and said, you
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: know what, it was me. I made a mistake. I apologize.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Punish me.
• 5:52
  Speaker 12: Do it, man.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Just do it. What an idiot.
• 5:54
  Speaker 16: One of the things that people get inflamed about is,
• 5:59
  Speaker 16: I think it's men, is the idea that like, you know,
• 6:02
  Speaker 16: on the other side, you heard the man or bear debate.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've heard of that. That silly thing.
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 6:10
  Speaker 16: So it's like, would you rather be in the woods
• 6:12
  Speaker 16: and encounter a male or would you rather encounter a bear?
• 6:17
  Speaker 12: Many women say, the bear.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, women who have no concept of what a bear
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: could do to them.
• 6:23
  Speaker 16: The thing is, like, for everyone that's confounded by that,
• 6:28
  Speaker 16: and for everyone that is, yeah, like, well, that's insane.
• 6:33
  Speaker 16: What I would say is if you want that to change,
• 6:36
  Speaker 16: if you want that to start going away, when something
• 6:39
  Speaker 16: like this happens, where you have a six foot five dude,
• 6:45
  Speaker 16: pepper spray a girl in the face to get some
• 6:47
  Speaker 16: bottle caps off of her for fun. And if you
• 6:50
  Speaker 16: happen to be in the garage, brother, you've got to
• 6:53
  Speaker 16: solve that yourself.
• 6:55
  Speaker 12: Because it's hard. It's, it's just, if you want women
• 6:58
  Speaker 12: to stop saying all men do something, you have to
• 7:01
  Speaker 12: do the opposite of that and actually protect the women.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Right. You have to be a sheepdog.
• 7:06
  Speaker 12: If you can't, if, if none of you are stepping
• 7:09
  Speaker 12: up to protect the women in that environment, then are
• 7:12
  Speaker 12: they wrong? In wanting to run into the bear? Just, again,
• 7:18
  Speaker 12: you have an opportunity.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I think those women that pick bear have not met
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: enough sheepdogs in their life, the people who would protect them.
• 7:24
  Speaker 12: That's what I'm saying. I 1,000% agree.
• 7:26
  Speaker 16: They're not running into men who, again, like you said, Will,
• 7:30
  Speaker 16: Cora should be hunting that man today.
• 7:32
  Speaker 12: Absolutely. They should be hunting him.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: We are not promoting vigilantism.
• 7:36
  Speaker 12: No, find him. I didn't say murder him. I said
• 7:40
  Speaker 12: find him. Track him down. Then, you know, whatever. We're
• 7:44
  Speaker 12: in a tournament. I don't care. But if you run... Like,
• 7:47
  Speaker 12: I just... That is insane to me.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: It is insane.
• 7:50
  Speaker 16: That there isn't that... I mean, I guess we'll see.
• 7:56
  Speaker 16: Maybe they'll find him.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Maybe they won't.
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: 6'5.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Turn yourself in. Turn yourself in.
• 8:01
  Speaker 16: If you are a real man, what you'll do is
• 8:03
  Speaker 16: you'll realize you did something really dumb. Yeah, you'll walk
• 8:05
  Speaker 16: into a police station. You'll say, it was me.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: It was me.
• 8:09
  Speaker 12: I made a mistake.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: And then you will.
• 8:11
  Speaker 12: Go to jail.
• 8:12
  Speaker 16: You'll make restitution to the best of your availability. You'll
• 8:16
  Speaker 16: probably get kicked out.
• 8:17
  Speaker 12: That's fine. Go to JUCO for a while. Maybe you
• 8:21
  Speaker 12: can put things back together.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you have a chance now. You have a chance
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: to do the right thing.
• 8:25
  Speaker 12: That is just absolutely... Don't.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Let me catch you.
• 8:28
  Speaker 12: Yeah, man.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: I'll pull a muscle beating you, but I'll do it gladly.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I can't believe a flock camera didn't pick this up.
• 8:37
  Speaker 11: See, this is.
• 8:38
  Speaker 16: That would be a good use. Wouldn't that be a twist, boys?
• 8:43
  Speaker 16: City of CS, I'm looking at you. You can land
• 8:46
  Speaker 16: this guy. That would be a hell of a story,
• 8:48
  Speaker 16: and we would all love to see it. Have you
• 8:51
  Speaker 16: gotten door knockers this year for political season?
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: No, I haven't gotten anything for political season.
• 8:56
  Speaker 12: Well, you're out here on the county.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I'm out on the county. A door knocker out there
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: takes their lives in their hands.
• 9:00
  Speaker 12: Not with me. Well, see, that's the thing.
• 9:03
  Speaker 16: So over the weekend, I was expecting a package to
• 9:07
  Speaker 16: show up. And, you know, it's one I have to
• 9:09
  Speaker 16: sign for. So I was like, OK, I'm waiting for
• 9:10
  Speaker 16: the doorbell to ring. Doorbell rings and I'm like looking
• 9:13
  Speaker 16: at my phone. I open the door and boom, there
• 9:16
  Speaker 16: in front of me are two college age males door
• 9:19
  Speaker 16: knocking for a political candidate.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: You didn't check who was out there before you threw
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: the door open. All right, Tucker, we've got to have
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: some sessions.
• 9:26
  Speaker 12: Well, normally I would if a random I'll be honest,
• 9:29
  Speaker 12: if the doorbell rings randomly in my home.
• 9:33
  Speaker 16: Your chances of it getting answered are almost none. I'm
• 9:35
  Speaker 16: just going to look on the camera, and if you're soliciting, I'm.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Just going to, whatever.
• 9:39
  Speaker 12: So it was a little bit surprising.
• 9:41
  Speaker 16: And I realized, dude, I have not run into door
• 9:44
  Speaker 16: knockers in probably 10 years. And probably by a coincidence.
• 9:49
  Speaker 16: I know surely they're out there. But they asked me, like, hey,
• 9:54
  Speaker 16: are you planning to vote in the general election?
• 9:56
  Speaker 12: I said, yeah. And then they give me their pitch.
• 10:00
  Speaker 12: And I realized I don't know how you're supposed to
• 10:02
  Speaker 12: interact with them.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: You're not.
• 10:04
  Speaker 12: I just said, cool. And, you know, kind of kind
• 10:07
  Speaker 12: of smiled and, you know, shut the door.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: That's creepy, by the way, if you gave me that look.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: You wouldn't have to shut the door. I'd be running off.
• 10:15
  Speaker 12: And tone texting.
• 10:16
  Speaker 16: One showed up last week and went away not happy
• 10:18
  Speaker 16: because I told him exactly how I feel about the
• 10:20
  Speaker 16: politician and what he stands for. Okay, so that is
• 10:23
  Speaker 16: what I wanted to ask. Because I know some of
• 10:25
  Speaker 16: you guys are.
• 10:28
  Speaker 12: What is the behavior? Are you supposed to debate with them?
• 10:32
  Speaker 12: Or do you just like.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Studies will tell you that conservative people... Yeah. are much
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: less likely to have that conversation than people who are
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: not conservative. They are less likely to give you their
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: political viewpoints to a stranger, to a telephone poll, or
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: anything like that.
• 10:51
  Speaker 12: I buy that, because that's why I think it's like,
• 10:53
  Speaker 12: no one can get polling right anymore.
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 10:55
  Speaker 17: Right?
• 10:55
  Speaker 12: People just don't want to talk about it, because they.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so screwed.
• 10:58
  Speaker 16: And you get, you know, you don't want to hear
• 11:01
  Speaker 16: the blowback.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Besides, it's my business, it's not yours.
• 11:03
  Speaker 17: And it is.
• 11:04
  Speaker 12: That's the bottom line.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: It's fine.
• 11:06
  Speaker 16: So I like but I was talking to some people
• 11:09
  Speaker 16: about they're like, yeah, they want you to hash it
• 11:12
  Speaker 16: out with them so they can convince you to be like, no,
• 11:15
  Speaker 16: they don't.
• 11:15
  Speaker 12: I think they just want to. Surely they don't.
• 11:18
  Speaker 16: They're not expecting me to to have a political conversation
• 11:22
  Speaker 16: with them.
• 11:23
  Speaker 12: That seems odd.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Are they expecting you to change your stance?
• 11:26
  Speaker 12: I know.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Bye bye.
• 11:27
  Speaker 16: But then again, like if it's if it's a missionary,
• 11:30
  Speaker 16: if it's someone from a religious organization that shows up.
• 11:32
  Speaker 12: They very much do want you to have that conversation.
• 11:36
  Speaker 16: So what do you do when the door knockers show
• 11:38
  Speaker 16: up at your house? Do you answer the door at all?
• 11:42
  Speaker 16: Do you have a political conversation with these kids?
• 11:45
  Speaker 12: What do you do? Nine, seven, nine, six, nine, five, 16, 20.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: My mother, my late mother would actually stay on the
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: phone with them.
• 11:53
  Speaker 16: She would.
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: And she would she would try to to wear them out. Right.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: You know, just take it to the to the extreme level.
• 12:02
  Speaker 12: She wants to make them tap. Yeah, that's the idea.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: That was the idea.
• 12:05
  Speaker 12: I don't I don't I don't hate that. That actually
• 12:10
  Speaker 12: kind of makes sense to me. But yeah, text us.
• 12:12
  Speaker 16: Let us know what you think, because Lord knows I
• 12:15
  Speaker 16: would I would I would love to hear some feedback.
• 12:17
  Speaker 12: On on what's going to happen the next time. We
• 12:19
  Speaker 12: still have a month left of this thing, man.
• 12:21
  Speaker 16: We still have a month in change until we get
• 12:24
  Speaker 16: to to the election.
• 12:25
  Speaker 12: Take a break. Back in a second.
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: A.I.
• 12:27
  Speaker 18: Big Tech.
• 12:28
  Speaker 19: And online predators are creating new threats for our children
• 12:32
  Speaker 19: every day. As a father, Paul Dyson knows how dangerous
• 12:36
  Speaker 19: these platforms can be. That's why he passed a law
• 12:38
  Speaker 19: stopping big tech and predators from targeting Texas children. And
• 12:42
  Speaker 19: he passed legislation blocking AI from being used as a
• 12:45
  Speaker 19: weapon against our kids. State Representative Paul Dyson is protecting
• 12:49
  Speaker 19: our kids and keeping Texas strong and safe. Political ad
• 12:54
  Speaker 19: paid for by Paul Dyson for Texas.
• 12:58

• 14:57
  Speaker 16: Before we get back into the how you deal with
• 14:59
  Speaker 16: door knockers, etiquette-wise, I did want to mention that several
• 15:04
  Speaker 16: people have texted in that they absolutely agree With the
• 15:09
  Speaker 16: will standard when it comes to the Corps of Cadets situation.
• 15:13
  Speaker 16: I would find that I would doubt there are many
• 15:15
  Speaker 16: people that don't agree with that.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and we're not advocating vigilantism, but should you decide
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: to go that direction, my point is find me a
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: jury that's going to convict.
• 15:25
  Speaker 12: Find me 12 men, dude, or women.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Find me 12 parents.
• 15:28
  Speaker 16: Find me 12. You think you're going to, because it's
• 15:30
  Speaker 16: been proven recently, all you need is one.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: All you need is one.
• 15:33
  Speaker 12: To hang a jury. Y'all going to have three trials
• 15:35
  Speaker 12: over this one, boy. Yeah. I'm just letting you know.
• 15:39
  Speaker 12: Text message. Are the door knockers paid?
• 15:41
  Speaker 16: I have had cards promoting different candidates wedged into the
• 15:44
  Speaker 16: edge of my front door.
• 15:44
  Speaker 12: That means they were there.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:46
  Speaker 12: They'll leave a flyer every time. I'm wondering, how.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Do the solicitation laws here in Bryan College Station, you
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: have to be permitted... to do that. I wonder if
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: that applies to the political folks too. You talk about
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: how do you handle a door knocker of any type?
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Somebody knocks on my door, I'm like, show me your permit.
• 16:07
  Speaker 12: No, that's good. I think that's fair.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: When I lived in the city limits, I would do
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: exactly that. And if they didn't have it, I would
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: pull out my phone and I'd say, well, you got
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: a few minutes to get out of the hood.
• 16:17
  Speaker 16: I frequently think to myself, if I had to pick
• 16:21
  Speaker 16: one Would I rather be door knocking right now for
• 16:25
  Speaker 16: a religious organization or a political candidate? And I'm really
• 16:31
  Speaker 16: close on the going. I would think I'd rather be
• 16:33
  Speaker 16: the religious organization.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: That all depends on what door you knock on. Because
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: I had a good friend. I would stay at their
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: house when I was in Little Rock because I was
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: commuting to go do radio. And he was a Baptist deacon.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: Oh, Lord.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: And he had, there was two people that knocked on
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: the door from another religion that likes to go door
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: to door.
• 16:54
  Speaker 12: See, but I like those guys. I like those guys.
• 16:56
  Speaker 12: I'll usually talk with those guys.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: He invited them in.
• 16:58
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I do that.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: And he sat them down. He sat them down.
• 17:02
  Speaker 12: Had broke out the good book.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Broke out the scripture.
• 17:05
  Speaker 12: And then it was a Bible duel.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Those young people could not get out of that house
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: fast enough. And I was working overnight. So I was
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: kind of dozing on the living room couch in the
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: other room. And I would come to and I was like, oh,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: this is good.
• 17:20
  Speaker 12: I don't think they like me either. Because, yeah, with them,
• 17:27
  Speaker 12: I'll have that. It makes my day. Yeah. Just please. Yeah,
• 17:30
  Speaker 12: let's sit down and talk.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Let's debate.
• 17:32
  Speaker 12: Let's talk theology for a couple of minutes. I enjoy that.
• 17:35
  Speaker 12: But I always offer them snacks. Of course. I always
• 17:37
  Speaker 12: offer them drinks. And I tell them, hey, if you're
• 17:39
  Speaker 12: around the neighborhood and it's getting 105 degrees, come over again.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Especially if it's snacks or drinks that their particular religion
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: doesn't take. They don't have. Those are the ones I'm.
• 17:48
  Speaker 12: Going to offer. I just feel like the Lord would
• 17:52
  Speaker 12: do the same.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: He would.
• 17:53
  Speaker 12: Text message. Had a person. It's from Lynn.
• 17:55
  Speaker 16: Had a person approach me while gardening in the front
• 17:57
  Speaker 16: yard two weeks ago. Said they were out campaigning for
• 17:59
  Speaker 16: two local candidates. They asked if they could leave a
• 18:01
  Speaker 16: flyer on my porch. Said, yeah, I'll look at it.
• 18:03
  Speaker 12: They were kind of not pushy. I'm okay with that.
• 18:06
  Speaker 12: If they're only trying to get word out about the candidates,
• 18:09
  Speaker 12: All good.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 18:10
  Speaker 12: I agree. I agree.
• 18:11
  Speaker 16: Ann says, did either of you receive the political mail
• 18:13
  Speaker 16: with the dollar inside asking you to mail it back
• 18:15
  Speaker 16: to that party? Would you keep that dollar or mail
• 18:17
  Speaker 16: it back? Ann, I have no idea what you're talking about.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: You sent me a dollar, buddy. No, it's done.
• 18:21
  Speaker 12: You're sending me a dollar and telling me to mail it.
• 18:23
  Speaker 12: Why would I do that?
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: There's nothing on the planet right now that I can
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: buy with one dollar in this country, but maybe I
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: go to my neighbor's mailboxes and collect theirs for them, too.
• 18:32
  Speaker 12: I should ask for hundreds the way you guys rob
• 18:34
  Speaker 12: me every single year. Good Lord. A dollar ain't going
• 18:38
  Speaker 12: to balance it. My friend, let's see. My wife says.
• 18:45
  Speaker 16: That it's hard to listen to me because I just
• 18:47
  Speaker 16: like to argue. And so I guess that's where the
• 18:52
  Speaker 16: problems begin. You open the door and then off to
• 18:57
  Speaker 16: the races.
• 18:58
  Speaker 19: Man, I don't know.
• 19:00
  Speaker 16: I think I'm still siding with the religious thing. I
• 19:03
  Speaker 16: cannot imagine walking around. and trying to tout a political candidate.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Tout a political candidate in 2026. Either way, if it's
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: something you strongly believe in, like me personally, if I
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: strongly believed that I needed to go out and evangelize,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: if I strongly believed that I needed to go out
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: and support a candidate, I wouldn't have any problem doing it. Oh, Frank.
• 19:26
  Speaker 16: Frank says, I was a door knocker. We were trying
• 19:29
  Speaker 16: to draw up support for a friend. He was running
• 19:31
  Speaker 16: for office.
• 19:32
  Speaker 12: That I buy. If a friend came to me who
• 19:34
  Speaker 12: was running for office and said, hey, can you go
• 19:35
  Speaker 12: out and hand out flyers, I would absolutely probably do that.
• 19:39
  Speaker 16: We only went to houses with smoke coming from the grills.
• 19:43
  Speaker 12: My friend finished third in that election.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but they were full.
• 19:49

• 22:36
  Speaker 11: On this Wednesday, I'm thinking about the midterm election. As
• 22:40
  Speaker 11: I've said before, we are not voting for a person.
• 22:55
  Speaker 11: We are voting for a movement. The traditional movement in
• 22:59
  Speaker 11: America is represented by the Republican Party. The progressive ideology
• 23:06
  Speaker 11: is embraced by Democrats. Now, that's a generalization, but it's true.
• 23:12
  Speaker 11: Defectors in both parties are scant. Because if you go
• 23:17
  Speaker 11: away from the orthodoxy, you don't get any money for
• 23:21
  Speaker 11: re-election from the party chieftains. When you show up at
• 23:26
  Speaker 11: the voting booth in November, you might not like the
• 23:29
  Speaker 11: individual candidate on the ticket, but you're not voting for them.
• 23:35
  Speaker 11: Your vision of America is what you are voting for.
• 23:41
  Speaker 11: A recent poll from Gallup finds 65% of Democrats have
• 23:46
  Speaker 11: a positive view of socialism. That is now a movement
• 23:53
  Speaker 11: The big problem for President Trump and the Republicans is Iran.
• 23:57
  Speaker 11: They would have cruised through the midterms had that conflict
• 24:01
  Speaker 11: never happened or had been delayed. Iran has caused a
• 24:05
  Speaker 11: lot of economic pain for millions of voters. The folks
• 24:10
  Speaker 11: have had it. Now the situation could be resolved before
• 24:14
  Speaker 11: the vote, and that would bolster the GOP. Back in

• 26:43
  Speaker 1: reported that she was pepper-sprayed, and the assailant took her
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: fish spurs. It's a Corps of Cadets tradition that freshman
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: cadets wear the spurs made of wire and a bottle
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: cap during the week of the Arkansas game. Non-Corps students
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: and social fraternity pledges have a playful tradition of attempting
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: to steal the spurs off the boots of unsuspecting freshmen.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: If a pledge or civilian tries to swipe a spur,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: nearby cadets are expected to intervene and shout, Old Army, fight,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: to defend the freshmen and protect the tradition. The victim
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: received medical treatment and was released. The suspect is described
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: as an 18-year-old white male, approximately 6 feet 5 inches tall,

  Speaker 18: Wes Ferdel says that one is by the Guadalupe River,

  Speaker 3: And then you have what they call the Cypress Lakeside,
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: and my guess is they'll just focus on the Cypress Lakeside.
• 31:06

• 31:08
  Speaker 18: living in the district wanted to survive, but any changes

• 36:15
  Speaker 12: There's a lot of roller coaster stories in the news today.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: There's a ton.
• 36:18
  Speaker 12: There's a ton.
• 36:19
  Speaker 16: First of all, the Six Flags, one that was causing
• 36:21
  Speaker 16: traumatic brain injury apparently for a decade.
• 36:24
  Speaker 12: And then there's the one in Austin.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: Did you see this?
• 36:28
  Speaker 11: I did.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: I saw images of people stuck.
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 36:32
  Speaker 16: So COTA, Circuit of the Americas, decided to launch a
• 36:35
  Speaker 16: theme park. I don't know if it was a COTA
• 36:36
  Speaker 16: land or something like that.
• 36:37
  Speaker 12: They really want to try and do it.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, great idea.
• 36:39
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 36:40
  Speaker 12: Have you been out there?
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: I have not. I'm driven by it.
• 36:43
  Speaker 12: I went to a.
• 36:44
  Speaker 26: Concert out there.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: It was okay.
• 36:45
  Speaker 12: I've never been to a race. I don't really have
• 36:46
  Speaker 12: a desire to go watch a race.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: Well, the F1 stuff is great.
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: It's cool.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: If you've got a ton of money, it's fantastic.
• 36:51
  Speaker 12: Yeah. There's not a lot of trees. It's real hot. Yeah.
• 36:55
  Speaker 16: It's not my thing. They opened this roller coaster, and
• 36:59
  Speaker 16: day one, it got stuck.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: It's not a good look.
• 37:03
  Speaker 12: Before the drop. And I just.
• 37:07
  Speaker 16: Why didn't I think about this stuff as a kid?
• 37:09
  Speaker 12: Did anyone think about this?
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: Didn't think of it as a kid.
• 37:11
  Speaker 12: Would it even have bothered you as a kid if
• 37:12
  Speaker 12: you got stuck.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: On a roller coaster? No, probably not.
• 37:15
  Speaker 16: I'll tell you the one that gets me that I
• 37:18
  Speaker 16: don't understand. I'm also like you. It's not that I
• 37:21
  Speaker 16: won't go on a roller coaster, like if I'm at
• 37:23
  Speaker 16: a theme park. I'll definitely think about it a little
• 37:25
  Speaker 16: bit longer.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the summer when we went to Branson, we stopped
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: by the park up there, and I did a couple
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: of the coasters, and then I was like, kids, have fun.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: Here's a rocking chair.
• 37:35
  Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 37:36
  Speaker 16: Now I need to sit. It's hard truth, but it's truth.
• 37:39
  Speaker 16: At some point, you've got to. You got to step back.
• 37:43
  Speaker 16: The one in Vegas.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, man.
• 37:46
  Speaker 12: You know what I'm talking about?
• 37:46
  Speaker 26: Oh, yeah.
• 37:47
  Speaker 14: New York, New York.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. We went to that one after a long night
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: on the strip where we had done well. And we'd
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: gone to Vic and Anthony's and had a bunch of
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: wine and some steaks.
• 37:58
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: And then we rode the roller coaster. And then we
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: got off the roller coaster. And my wife said, take
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: me back to the hotel now. And I said, it's
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: right there across the street. And she said, we need
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: a cab. She couldn't walk across the street.
• 38:13
  Speaker 16: Have any of y'all had a bad roller coaster experience?
• 38:16
  Speaker 16: And I'll even open this up, too. Because I need
• 38:19
  Speaker 16: to open this up. I also want to include fair rides.
• 38:23
  Speaker 16: Carnival rides.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: No, that's something I.
• 38:25
  Speaker 12: Won't get on.
• 38:26
  Speaker 16: As in, it breaks down onto a tractor and you
• 38:30
  Speaker 16: pull it away and then move it to the next town.
• 38:32
  Speaker 16: Has anyone had a bad.
• 38:34
  Speaker 12: Experience on any of the above? And yes, I'll take
• 38:37
  Speaker 12: water slide text as well.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: Little known fact.
• 38:40
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: The carnies, a lot of them summer in a couple,
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: or winter in a couple of states, right?
• 38:45
  Speaker 12: Yes, they do.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: One of those states is Arkansas.
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: Oh, is it?
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: So in my nine years of exile in Arkansas, I
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: actually got to know a few carnies.
• 38:53
  Speaker 12: Holy cow.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: I'm not touching anything they worked on.
• 38:55
  Speaker 10: 979-695-1620.
• 38:56
  Speaker 16: I can also confirm that the one in Vegas is-
• 39:01
  Speaker 16: is particularly it's brutal i've it's a steel roller coaster
• 39:05
  Speaker 16: which is what tricked me into getting on it i
• 39:07
  Speaker 16: was like oh yeah well it's a metal roller coaster.
• 39:10
  Speaker 12: Those are smoother than that's gonna be smooth and i've
• 39:12
  Speaker 12: i rode the texas giant i've ridden all the big
• 39:15
  Speaker 12: you know over the years when i was a kid
• 39:17
  Speaker 12: and teenager and college student whatever all of all of
• 39:19
  Speaker 12: them all of them and uh this messed me up like.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: No roller that roller coaster there in vegas is the devil.
• 39:26
  Speaker 16: It will break you and occasionally our friends go to Vegas.
• 39:29
  Speaker 16: I give them a few tips, things to do. And
• 39:32
  Speaker 16: then the one tip I say, don't ever, ever get
• 39:34
  Speaker 16: on that roller coaster.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: They should dismantle.
• 39:36
  Speaker 12: Thank me later.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: They should dismantle that thing. Move it to Guantanamo. We'll
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: get all the answers we want.
• 39:44
  Speaker 12: That's actually a great idea. Is that a possibility? Let's
• 39:47
  Speaker 12: go to the folks. WTAW, good morning. You're on the radio.
• 39:50
  Speaker 12: What do you have for us today?
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: You're talking about carnies. Do you know about the elephant
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: house in College Station?
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: The elephant house?
• 39:58
  Speaker 12: I don't know about that.
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: So the story goes it's over off of Elmo Weedon Road.
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: They built a house, two-story house, and they winter the
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: elephants there. And the ceilings were about six-foot tall.
• 40:16
  Speaker 12: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
• 40:17
  Speaker 16: You're telling me that there was allegedly a house that
• 40:20
  Speaker 16: they built for the Kearneys to park the elephants in
• 40:25
  Speaker 16: during the winter months in Bryan College Station?
• 40:29
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir.
• 40:29
  Speaker 12: It's still there.
• 40:31
  Speaker 14: You can see it out in the pasture.
• 40:32
  Speaker 12: They would keep the elephants indoors?
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: In the house?
• 40:35
  Speaker 12: In the house?
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: Well, it had a huge door, like a garage door
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: on one side. The ceilings were about six to seven
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: feet tall for the dwarves to live in.
• 40:49
  Speaker 12: Did you say dwarves?
• 40:52
  Speaker 5: And then they had a ladder or a walkway built
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: so that they could pull the elephants in and watch
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: their backs and fronts.
• 40:59
  Speaker 12: There is no way. I'm not calling you. Yeah, but
• 41:02
  Speaker 12: I'm just saying, I need to know.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: More about this story. If there's anything animal going on,
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: Tucker doesn't know about it.
• 41:09
  Speaker 16: That might be the most magical Brian College Station story
• 41:13
  Speaker 16: I've ever heard.
• 41:13
  Speaker 12: Dwarves and elephants in a home together.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: Here's my question. Were the elephants potty trained, or did
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: they use a litter box?
• 41:21
  Speaker 5: That was long before my time.
• 41:24
  Speaker 12: Dude, thank you so much for the call.
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: You bet.
• 41:29
  Speaker 12: That's for after the show, boys.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: Mary has a text here. What do you got? When
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: my mom was alive, she had a client that had
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: been a former carny, and she told mom if they
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: were putting a ride together and it's missing a boat,
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: they continue putting it together and let people ride. They
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: don't even worry about finding the bolts until you put
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: them in.
• 41:44
  Speaker 8: Yep.
• 41:47
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 41:49
  Speaker 12: Holy cow.
• 41:49
  Speaker 16: Yeah, if you want to hit us up, if you've
• 41:50
  Speaker 16: got a story, please, 979-695-1620. I might need to get
• 41:56
  Speaker 16: into some of the worst carnics.
• 41:58
  Speaker 12: I've seen those go wrong. I've seen those go horribly wrong.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: We've got to get out to Elm O'Weeden Road and
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: find this elephant show.
• 42:04
  Speaker 12: Yeah, we've got someone who can do the rest of
• 42:05
  Speaker 12: the show. My mind's on elephants for the rest of
• 42:06
  Speaker 12: the show.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: We need verification on that. Can anybody corroborate the story?
• 42:11

  Speaker 17: You know, sometimes the best presents are the least expensive. Hi,
• 43:02
  Speaker 17: this is Jim Daly with Focus on the Family. I
• 43:05
  Speaker 17: bet if you ask your spouse to list some of
• 43:06
  Speaker 17: the favorite things they've received from you, some of the
• 43:09
  Speaker 17: most cherished items will be those that were simple and heartfelt.
• 43:13
  Speaker 17: I know for my wife, Jean, I just cooked her
• 43:15
  Speaker 17: her birthday dinner. It was the first time that I've
• 43:17
  Speaker 17: done that, and I made a great vegetarian casserole, and
• 43:21
  Speaker 17: You know what? She said it was the best birthday ever.
• 43:24
  Speaker 17: Here are a few ideas that will go a long
• 43:26
  Speaker 17: way in communicating your love. First, what about a framed
• 43:29
  Speaker 17: picture of the two of you together? You might even
• 43:31
  Speaker 17: include a little note that lists some of the qualities
• 43:34
  Speaker 17: that you admire most about your spouse. And speaking of notes,
• 43:37
  Speaker 17: a short note on the dresser or in the car,
• 43:40
  Speaker 17: wherever they might get ready in the morning, can brighten
• 43:43
  Speaker 17: your spouse's day. It doesn't have to be profound. Just
• 43:46
  Speaker 17: a simple, I love you because you're you. That's sufficient.
• 43:50
  Speaker 17: How about a music mix? Pick out some of your
• 43:52
  Speaker 17: favorite songs that you share together and make a playlist
• 43:55
  Speaker 17: for their MP3 player.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: Or burn them onto a CD and include a card
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: explaining why those.
• 44:00
  Speaker 17: Songs are special between the two of you. Finally, do
• 44:03
  Speaker 17: something domestic. Does your husband usually clean the kitchen after dinner?
• 44:06
  Speaker 17: Do the dishes for him one night and let him
• 44:08
  Speaker 17: kick his.
• 44:09
  Speaker 12: Feet up for a while.
• 44:10
  Speaker 17: And if your wife is responsible for making the lunches
• 44:12
  Speaker 17: and getting everyone off to school on time, let her
• 44:15
  Speaker 17: sleep in one morning and take over the shift. With
• 44:17
  Speaker 17: a little creativity, there's no end to the gifts you
• 44:20
  Speaker 17: can give your spouse, not only on special occasions, but
• 44:23
  Speaker 17: just because. To help your family thrive, go to FocusOnTheFamily.com.

  Speaker 1: Good morning. 979-695-1620 is our phone number.
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: WTAW.
• 45:26
  Speaker 12: No, wrong one.
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: You, Chase.
• 45:26
  Speaker 7: You there?
• 45:37
  Speaker 12: Yes, sir. We're talking carnies, and you said you had
• 45:39
  Speaker 12: a tail, my friend. What do you got? Yeah, all right.
• 45:42
  Speaker 14: So my grandparents were the neighbors of carnies, and there
• 45:46
  Speaker 14: was a private fence that separated them. I don't know
• 45:49
  Speaker 14: if any of your listeners were a Humpty Dumpty personnel
• 45:55
  Speaker 14: kid there. They had a daycare, Humpty Dumpty.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: I remember that. I know exactly where that is.
• 46:00
  Speaker 26: Okay.
• 46:01
  Speaker 14: Yep, and my grandfather actually ran a dojo there. When
• 46:05
  Speaker 14: he got back from the war, World War II, he
• 46:08
  Speaker 14: started up a dojo there and did karate lessons. And
• 46:13
  Speaker 14: I can remember as a kid sleeping in the living room,
• 46:16
  Speaker 14: and about 2 o'clock, the carny folk came out, you know,
• 46:20
  Speaker 14: hollering and yelling, throwing pitchers of beer.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: As they do.
• 46:25
  Speaker 28: As they do.
• 46:26
  Speaker 14: As they do, throwing the pitchers over the fence. And
• 46:29
  Speaker 14: I had to go clean up every Sunday morning. I
• 46:33
  Speaker 14: had to go pick up all the glass and all
• 46:35
  Speaker 14: of the, pictures that were thrown over the fence and.
• 46:38
  Speaker 12: All the other, I was born in the wrong time.
• 46:40
  Speaker 12: Y'all I was born in the wrong time. I just
• 46:43
  Speaker 12: want to live next to some carnies.
• 46:46
  Speaker 14: So now, yeah. So now I'll go to carnies, you know,
• 46:49
  Speaker 14: sit out in the back porch and just look at
• 46:52
  Speaker 14: the parking lot that used to be my grandparents' house.
• 46:55
  Speaker 12: Holy cow.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 46:56
  Speaker 12: Hey, thank you, brother. Great day.
• 46:59
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 46:59
  Speaker 16: What else do we have on text message? This originally started,
• 47:01
  Speaker 16: we're talking roller coasters, which turned into talking carnies, which
• 47:05
  Speaker 16: turned into talking about a by God elephant house that
• 47:08
  Speaker 16: was manned by dwarves in Bryan College Station where they
• 47:11
  Speaker 16: wintered their elephants.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: Are you sure you heard dwarves?
• 47:15
  Speaker 12: I heard dwarves. I will mark the tape and we.
• 47:18
  Speaker 5: Will go back.
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: That's magical. Regardless, the elephant house is enough. Randy texted,
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: and I can confirm the elephant house.
• 47:24
  Speaker 5: What?
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: A buddy of mine actually lived in it for a
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: time when he was in high school in Bryan High.
• 47:28
  Speaker 12: Get out of here. Randy, call us, please. Or maybe
• 47:31
  Speaker 12: we'll call you. I don't know. That's too much. Ben Downs,
• 47:35
  Speaker 12: area leader.
• 47:36
  Speaker 16: Wild Animals International was on Jones Road. It was an
• 47:40
  Speaker 16: area where people retired big cats, ostriches, all varieties of primates,
• 47:48
  Speaker 16: and such.
• 47:50
  Speaker 12: What's the and such?
• 47:52
  Speaker 16: Fortunately, most of them were trained to be gentle, including
• 47:56
  Speaker 16: Patty Cake, the Bengal tiger, who I became friends with.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: Tucker, Tucker, it's okay. It's okay, Tucker. I know how
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: jealous you are right now. Your heart is just aching
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: because you did not have that opportunity.
• 48:11
  Speaker 12: I was born in the wrong time.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: Sherry texts in the elephant house on Elmo Whedon is legit.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: The land belongs to our family. My father-in-law bought the
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: land in the early 60s.
• 48:23
  Speaker 12: Stop it. This is too much. This is too much.
• 48:28
  Speaker 29: Look, I've lived here a long time. I have never
• 48:30
  Speaker 29: heard this. I've never heard this story. You realize how
• 48:34
  Speaker 29: much it takes to stop both of us on something
• 48:36
  Speaker 29: local knowledge. We have a dork's memory for that sort
• 48:40
  Speaker 29: of thing. I had no idea.
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: None.
• 48:42
  Speaker 7: None.
• 48:42
  Speaker 16: And now I have to see it. I have to
• 48:44
  Speaker 16: see it at some point. We'll take a break back
• 48:47

• 50:18
  Speaker 28: started yesterday afternoon with the wildcard bracket, and the Houston
• 50:22
  Speaker 28: Astros lost 6-3 in Game 1 of the AL wildcard
• 50:25
  Speaker 28: to the Chicago White Sox. The Aggie football team is
• 50:29
  Speaker 28: three days away from kicking off their Saturday night game
• 50:32
  Speaker 28: against the Arkansas Razorbacks. Ahead of the game, head coach
• 50:35
  Speaker 28: Mike Elko spoke about some of the struggles his team
• 50:38
  Speaker 28: has been dealing with over the past two SEC losses.
• 50:41
  Speaker 6: We're not responding to things that are going against us
• 50:45
  Speaker 6: in game the way that we need to. I think
• 50:47
  Speaker 6: one of the strengths of our team last year was
• 50:49
  Speaker 6: how we played. off of each other. You know, when
• 50:52
  Speaker 6: a side of the ball was struggling, the other side
• 50:53
  Speaker 6: of the ball's ability to make a play, to recreate momentum,
• 50:57
  Speaker 6: to recreate energy, we just were not doing that at
• 51:00
  Speaker 6: the level that needs to be done right now, not
• 51:02
  Speaker 6: even close. And so what happens is these snowball effects, right?
• 51:06
  Speaker 6: And so we've got to figure out how to do
• 51:09
  Speaker 6: a better job of playing off each other, playing some
• 51:12
  Speaker 6: level of complementary football to each other, because momentum is
• 51:15
  Speaker 6: a real thing, right? It's not an excuse, but it's
• 51:18
  Speaker 6: a real thing in football and we've got to do
• 51:20
  Speaker 6: a better job of finding ways to recapture momentum that
• 51:23
  Speaker 6: will help immensely I think in these games.
• 51:26
  Speaker 28: On the offensive side of the ball the team could
• 51:28
  Speaker 28: not generate enough momentum to score against LSU and Coach
• 51:31
  Speaker 28: Elko talked about what the team needs to do to
• 51:34
  Speaker 28: fix this issue ahead of Saturday's game.
• 51:37
  Speaker 6: I think we've got to do a better job of
• 51:39
  Speaker 6: creating explosive plays I think a lot of that is
• 51:43
  Speaker 6: we've got to find better leverages and create better opportunities
• 51:46
  Speaker 6: to be able to do that You know, we're having
• 51:48
  Speaker 6: to be too precise. You know, and obviously, you know,
• 51:51
  Speaker 6: last game was a really poor game. But even before that,
• 51:54
  Speaker 6: we're having to be too precise. And that's hard to do.
• 51:58
  Speaker 6: And so we've got to find ways to create more
• 52:00
  Speaker 6: explosive plays. We've got to make sure that we're developing
• 52:03
  Speaker 6: a rhythm of what our kids can do comfortably and
• 52:06
  Speaker 6: try to create a little bit more flow to it.
• 52:09
  Speaker 6: You know, we're so choppy right now.
• 52:12
  Speaker 28: On the defensive side of the ball, the team had
• 52:15
  Speaker 28: highs and lows throughout the LSU game, and Coach Elko
• 52:18
  Speaker 28: addressed what areas will need to be cleaned up.
• 52:20
  Speaker 6: I think when you break down the defensive game Saturday night,
• 52:24
  Speaker 6: I think it falls into three categories. I think there
• 52:27
  Speaker 6: were some times where early on we actually were playing
• 52:32
  Speaker 6: at an acceptable level. Then there were some things that
• 52:35
  Speaker 6: I would relate as like eye violations where guys got
• 52:38
  Speaker 6: lost in play actions in the backfield, which caused some
• 52:41
  Speaker 6: layers to the coverage issue. And then there were just some,
• 52:45
  Speaker 6: in my opinion, technical issues in the second half where
• 52:48
  Speaker 6: we got beat. in man-to-man, so not so much the
• 52:52
  Speaker 6: not matched on the right guy, not being on the
• 52:54
  Speaker 6: right guy, but getting beat.
• 52:56
  Speaker 28: Kickoff for Saturday night's game is set for 6 o'clock
• 53:00
  Speaker 28: at Kyle Field. Aggie football's punter Tyler White was named
• 53:04
  Speaker 28: to the Ray Guy Award Punter of the Week for
• 53:06
  Speaker 28: Week 4 after being named to the Ray 8 list
• 53:09
  Speaker 28: for the second time this season earlier in the week.
• 53:12
  Speaker 28: This is his second career Punter of the Week honor
• 53:15
  Speaker 28: and first since 2024. First pitch for Aggie softball's fall
• 53:20
  Speaker 28: opener against Murray State College at Davis Diamond has been
• 53:23
  Speaker 28: moved to 9.30 a.m. this morning due to the expected
• 53:27
  Speaker 28: inclement weather this afternoon. If you plan on heading out
• 53:30
  Speaker 28: to Davis Diamond, admission is free for today's exhibition game
• 53:34
  Speaker 28: and gates to the stadium will open this morning at 8.30.
• 53:36
  Speaker 28: The Aggie soccer team is gearing up to hit the
• 53:40
  Speaker 28: road tomorrow night for their next conference game of the
• 53:43
  Speaker 28: year against the Georgia Bulldogs. Head coach Bobby Shuttleworth recapped
• 53:47
  Speaker 28: the Marin and Whites' recent game against Florida and the
• 53:49
  Speaker 28: adjustments the team needs to make ahead of taking on
• 53:52
  Speaker 28: the Bulldogs.
• 53:53
  Speaker 26: I think looking back at it, obviously the first half,
• 53:56
  Speaker 26: not a good performance. I thought second half we did
• 53:58
  Speaker 26: a much better job fighting, competing, being in good spots,
• 54:02
  Speaker 26: putting them under pressure, and I think that's going to
• 54:05
  Speaker 26: be our message all week is how well can we
• 54:08
  Speaker 26: stay together as a group, stay unified, do the things
• 54:10
  Speaker 26: we need to do, and ready and prepared to fight
• 54:13
  Speaker 26: and run and be physical.
