Latest / WTAW - Infomaniacs / The Infomaniacs: August 27th 2026 (6:00am)
Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: Good morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm Will Welch. The
- 0:07Speaker 1: City of College Station announced a road closure near the
- 0:10Speaker 1: College Station Police Department. Dartmouth Northbound will be closed at
- 0:14Speaker 1: Krennic Tap starting today. The closure is expected to last
- 0:17Speaker 1: two weeks. Aggieland Humane Society says they have seen a
- 0:21Speaker 1: spike in the number of dogs in the shelter with
- 0:23Speaker 1: heartworm disease.
- 0:24Speaker 2: Our normal rate to sit at is about 10% of
- 0:27Speaker 2: our adult dog population at any given time will have
- 0:30Speaker 2: heartworm disease. Currently, in this exact moment, we're closer to 35.
- 0:34Speaker 1: Katrina Ross with the Aggieland Humane Society says heartworms are treatable,
- 0:38Speaker 1: but they need about $ 9, 000 in donation to fund the
- 0:42Speaker 1: treatment for 15 dogs. If you would like to help,
- 0:45Speaker 1: you can visit AggielandHumane.org. The cities of Bryan and College
- 0:49Speaker 1: Station are asking residents to adopt voluntary water restrictions. They
- 0:53Speaker 1: say with high demand, water tower levels can drop, affecting
- 0:56Speaker 1: water pressure and the availability of water during a fire.
- 1:00Speaker 1: Try to limit water during daytime hours and limit watering
- 1:03Speaker 1: to two days per week. Report any suspected leaks immediately.
- 1:07Speaker 1: Texas secured a billion-dollar settlement with Meta, the parent company
- 1:11Speaker 1: of Facebook and Instagram, over child safety issues. Along with
- 1:15Speaker 1: the settlement, Meta has agreed to stricter age verification measures
- 1:19Speaker 1: and a daily two-hour time limit for teens. During school hours,
- 1:23Speaker 1: they will disable all notifications and create a nighttime mode
- 1:26Speaker 1: to restrict access for teens. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton
- 1:30Speaker 1: calls the agreement historic and a major step forward in
- 1:33Speaker 1: the fight to ensure our kids are protected online. This
- 1:37Speaker 1: follows the $ 1. 4 billion settlement with Meta in 2024 for
- 1:42Speaker 1: unlawfully collecting and using facial recognition data. A student from
- 1:46Speaker 1: A & M Consolidated High School is behind bars after
- 1:49Speaker 1: he was found with a THC vape. The 17-year-old student
- 1:53Speaker 1: was arrested Tuesday after the device fell out of his pocket.
- 1:56Speaker 1: He was charged with possession of a controlled substance in
- 1:59Speaker 1: a drug-free zone. He remains jailed on a $ 15, 000 bond.
- 2:04Speaker 1: Here's the latest on the Texas wildfires. Data from the
- 2:07Speaker 1: Texas A & M Forest Service shows that the Ross
- 2:09Speaker 1: wildfire in Palo Pinto County has grown to over 80,000
- 2:13Speaker 1: acres and is only 12% contained. Three other major fires
- 2:17Speaker 1: are still burning and active in other parts of the state. Currently,
- 2:20Speaker 1: 197 counties are under a burn ban. Brazos and Burleson
- 2:25Speaker 1: counties are the last holdouts in the Brazos Valley. A
- 2:28Speaker 1: federal judge in Texas ruled that an ICE agent will
- 2:31Speaker 1: not be extradited to Minnesota.
- 2:33Speaker 3: Christian Castro is charged in Minnesota with assault and falsely
- 2:36Speaker 3: reporting a crime. He allegedly shot through a door of
- 2:39Speaker 3: a home January 14th while pursuing a man he believed
- 2:42Speaker 3: was in the country illegally. The man was wounded. Three
- 2:45Speaker 3: others in the house were not injured. He's also accused
- 2:48Speaker 3: of lying about what led up to the shootings. He's
- 2:50Speaker 3: been in the Cameron County Jail, but under Texas law
- 2:53Speaker 3: and barring extradition, must be released after 90 days of detention,
- 2:56Speaker 3: which comes tomorrow. Minnesota authorities believe Castro could flee to Mexico.
- 3:01Speaker 3: Eric Bushman, TSN News.
- 3:04Speaker 1: More news at 630 or anytime at WTAW.com. I'm Will Welch, 1620-945-WTAW.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Breaking news.
- 3:10Speaker 4: I mean.
- 3:16Speaker 6: Check the radar for me. I don't know what to
- 3:18Speaker 6: do with this.
- 3:19Speaker 1: Do not be alarmed. There might be some moisture falling
- 3:23Speaker 1: from the sky.
- 3:25Speaker 6: Is it?
- 3:26Speaker 1: It's not here quite yet. Now, up kind of just
- 3:30Speaker 1: west of Hearn, east and west of Hearn, the kind
- 3:33Speaker 1: of front moving through, and just west of that is
- 3:36Speaker 1: actually some fairly heavy rain.
- 3:37Speaker 6: What's the color? What's the color on the radar?
- 3:39Speaker 1: There are some reds.
- 3:41Speaker 6: There's a red?
- 3:42Speaker 1: They're going to miss us, though. We're going to get
- 3:45Speaker 1: some yellers, maybe. If it holds together. If it holds together,
- 3:48Speaker 1: we'll get some old yellers.
- 3:51Speaker 6: Okay. Outside of that, 60. Yeah, they're giving us 60%
- 3:55Speaker 6: chance of rain today. I don't know if this is it.
- 3:58Speaker 1: I don't know if this is it or not, but
- 3:59Speaker 1: keep this in mind. We have not had rain in forever.
- 4:02Speaker 4: No.
- 4:03Speaker 1: Right? So as soon as this water hits the pavement.
- 4:06Speaker 1: that has not been washed off.
- 4:07Speaker 6: Oh, that's right. Yeah, it gathers all those little particulates,
- 4:11Speaker 6: those little oil bubbles.
- 4:12Speaker 1: It's going to be slicker than WD-40.
- 4:15Speaker 6: Yeah, it's going to be interesting. Okay, so they're only
- 4:18Speaker 6: saying less than a tenth of an inch of rain.
- 4:20Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not going to be a lot.
- 4:21Speaker 6: Expect higher amounts possible. I'll take what I get. I'm
- 4:24Speaker 6: not going to complain. 30% chance tonight. High temperature expected
- 4:28Speaker 6: to be right at 100 degrees. So, yeah, keep an
- 4:32Speaker 6: eye on that for you today. That is a great
- 4:34Speaker 6: way to start things off. It is. For some of
- 4:36Speaker 6: you guys. Weather brought to you by Malik's Service Company
- 4:39Speaker 6: in the Texas heat. Your air conditioner works overtime, but
- 4:42Speaker 6: a well-tuned AC will save you money and keep you comfortable.
- 4:47Speaker 6: Turn to the experts at Malik and Carey to keep
- 4:49Speaker 6: your AC running properly. Malik, feel the difference. Can you
- 4:52Speaker 6: explain to me what's happening with our coyotes out here?
- 4:58Speaker 1: What do you mean? What's happening?
- 5:00Speaker 6: Well, you sent me a picture of one.
- 5:03Speaker 1: That is just a beast.
- 5:04Speaker 6: I thought that could be a wolf.
- 5:07Speaker 1: I didn't show you the picture of the second one.
- 5:09Speaker 1: So my neighbor sent me the same neighbor that sent
- 5:12Speaker 1: me the bobcat pic a while back.
- 5:14Speaker 6: Yeah, which again was a shockingly healthy looking bobcat.
- 5:18Speaker 1: So one of the yotes that he sent me was,
- 5:21Speaker 1: I mean, the thing looks groomed. It looks like it's
- 5:24Speaker 1: a show yote.
- 5:26Speaker 6: Yes, it's a show yote.
- 5:28Speaker 1: But the other one that he sent me looks a
- 5:30Speaker 1: little mangy. So maybe an older yote.
- 5:33Speaker 6: Look at the muscle mass on this guy.
- 5:35Speaker 1: He's a big one, I can tell you that.
- 5:36Speaker 6: He's an absolute unit. What are they eating out there?
- 5:40Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 5:42Speaker 6: It's a drought, Will. I thought we were supposed to
- 5:44Speaker 6: be in meager times.
- 5:46Speaker 1: Which may be why he's seeing them, because they keep
- 5:48Speaker 1: a lot of chickens down there.
- 5:50Speaker 6: Oh, okay.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Yeah, and this fellow's wife is reticent to let him
- 5:53Speaker 1: shoot them, even though he has... A very nice collection
- 5:57Speaker 1: of things that could get rid of these animals.
- 6:00Speaker 6: Don't you have to? I thought it was a have to.
- 6:02Speaker 1: It's not a have to. It's a should.
- 6:04Speaker 6: Well, but like if you don't, aren't they just going
- 6:07Speaker 6: to keep proliferate? Like you're basically if you don't run
- 6:10Speaker 6: them off and you have, you know, chickens and other
- 6:15Speaker 6: pets and birds. aren't you just kind of creating a
- 6:18Speaker 6: little coyote Miramont out there?
- 6:20Speaker 1: Well, if they're getting into your chickens or pets.
- 6:22Speaker 6: Yeah, they're just going to say, this is the prime.
- 6:25Speaker 1: You can tell all their friends. If there's a food
- 6:27Speaker 1: source there, it's like if they opened up a Waffle House.
- 6:30Speaker 1: We would gravitate.
- 6:31Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly. It's like you'd be there all day. They'll
- 6:35Speaker 6: run for miles away to get to something. I don't know.
- 6:37Speaker 1: My wife yesterday, I was showing her the picture, and
- 6:39Speaker 1: she's like, thank God we don't have those on our place.
- 6:41Speaker 1: I was like, we've got those on our place. We've
- 6:44Speaker 1: just got a lot more brush, and you're not seeing them.
- 6:47Speaker 6: If they're in one part of the county, yes. They're
- 6:50Speaker 6: looking healthy in other parts, too.
- 6:52Speaker 1: His house is like a half, maybe three-quarters.
- 6:54Speaker 6: Of a mile. He's practically sitting outside your back door,
- 6:58Speaker 6: just licking its chops, waiting for you to throw out.
- 7:01Speaker 1: Most of the fawns are big enough now that they
- 7:04Speaker 1: can escape from the oats. It was a time here
- 7:08Speaker 1: fairly recently where that wasn't the case. So I don't
- 7:11Speaker 1: know what the Yotes are doing for sustenance right now.
- 7:14Speaker 1: I just know that that one's healthy.
- 7:16Speaker 6: It's possible it was just posted up for National Dog Day.
- 7:18Speaker 6: Just really wanted to do a quality. This is my pet. Well, yeah, exactly. Like, hey,
- 7:23Speaker 6: I want to post a few of these pictures. Maybe
- 7:27Speaker 6: that's what the Yote wanted.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Maybe so.
- 7:28Speaker 6: Just wanted some recognition.
- 7:30Speaker 1: I did have four or five deer in the backyard
- 7:32Speaker 1: last night about the same time he sent me that picture.
- 7:36Speaker 1: I've got one doe out there that's had twins, and
- 7:38Speaker 1: so they're wandering around it. Then there's a couple other
- 7:42Speaker 1: doe in the mix that kind of float around my yard. Rarely,
- 7:46Speaker 1: never see any bucks on my place.
- 7:48Speaker 6: But have you found a litter of kittens yet?
- 7:50Speaker 1: I have not found a litter of kittens, nor am
- 7:52Speaker 1: I inviting the deer inside my house. Unlike Tucker, who
- 7:57Speaker 1: would invite the coyote in, given the opportunity.
- 7:59Speaker 6: In a heartbeat, absolute heartbeat. Morning, gang.

- 10:38Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like a whole thing. It makes the video
- 10:40Speaker 6: look weird. I guess we can raise them. Who cares?
- 10:43Speaker 1: Well, I mean, it's still dark, so you wouldn't be
- 10:44Speaker 1: able to see the rain.
- 10:45Speaker 6: But 979-695-1620 may be getting lucky this morning with some showers.
- 10:50Speaker 6: We will see what you guys bring to us. Let's
- 10:53Speaker 6: get started with reasons to celebrate today. It is the
- 10:58Speaker 6: 27th of August. 2026. It's about to be September. We've
- 11:05Speaker 6: got nine days left until Titan Tech zaggy football.
- 11:09Speaker 1: High school football kicks off this weekend.
- 11:11Speaker 6: That's right, man. I mean, days away. Other things popping
- 11:15Speaker 6: up today. National Just Because Day. A holiday devoted to
- 11:18Speaker 6: doing things without a reason.
- 11:19Speaker 1: You know that that was not invented in the South.
- 11:23Speaker 1: Because if it was in the South, it would be
- 11:24Speaker 1: Just Cuz Day.
- 11:25Speaker 6: Just Cuz Day.
- 11:26Speaker 1: Just Cuz.
- 11:27Speaker 6: Kiss Me Day. Murky, murky intent here. August 27th appears
- 11:31Speaker 6: on various holiday calendars as Kiss Me Day. Essentially an
- 11:34Speaker 6: excuse to show affection with a kiss. Not like International
- 11:38Speaker 6: Kissing Day, which is on July 7th. These are all traps, y'all.
- 11:42Speaker 6: Don't go out and just start kissing people.
- 11:44Speaker 4: No.
- 11:44Speaker 1: No, especially without their permission.
- 11:46Speaker 6: Petroleum Day. Big one. National Petroleum Day.
- 11:49Speaker 1: I like dinosaur juice.
- 11:50Speaker 6: Oh, everyone does. Edwin Drake successfully drilled an oil well
- 11:53Speaker 6: near Titusville, Pennsylvania. On this day, in August 27, 1859,
- 11:59Speaker 6: the Drake Well is commonly regarded as the beginning of
- 12:01Speaker 6: the American petroleum industry.
- 12:03Speaker 1: Before that, people were using whale oil.
- 12:05Speaker 6: Yep, that's right.
- 12:06Speaker 1: Lighting lamps with whale oil.
- 12:07Speaker 6: You had to go to the sea to get oil.
- 12:11Speaker 6: The stuff you needed for your house.
- 12:13Speaker 13: Arrgh.
- 12:13Speaker 6: Crazy. Tarzan Day today. The first Tarzan appeared in Edgar
- 12:18Speaker 6: Rice Burroughs' Tarzan of the Apes back in 1912. One
- 12:23Speaker 6: of the weirdest characters in film.
- 12:25Speaker 1: Absolutely.
- 12:26Speaker 6: And story.
- 12:27Speaker 1: But I did grow up on that black and white
- 12:28Speaker 1: Tarzan TV show when I was a kid, man.
- 12:31Speaker 14: Oh.
- 12:31Speaker 6: Loved it. Loved it. Thoughtful Thursday. This isn't a holiday.
- 12:37Speaker 6: This is an everyday thing. This is an everyday thing.
- 12:40Speaker 6: Why are you feeding me this? August 27th, 2006 is actually,
- 12:44Speaker 6: or 26th is actually a Thursday, so they're just taking
- 12:46Speaker 6: it today. Saying, okay, we're going to make this National
- 12:49Speaker 6: Thoughtful Thursday Day.
- 12:50Speaker 1: What does that really mean?
- 12:51Speaker 6: It means do something nice for somebody else.
- 12:53Speaker 1: We've got enough days for that.
- 12:55Speaker 6: Yeah, there's plenty of opportunities. Finally, the only one anyone
- 12:58Speaker 6: cares about. World Paper Rock Scissors Day.
- 13:01Speaker 1: Paper Rock Scissors? You didn't call it It's not in
- 13:04Speaker 1: the right order. It's Rock, Paper, Scissors.
- 13:05Speaker 6: Rock, Paper, Scissors is generally how it is phrased.
- 13:09Speaker 1: But you had to switch it up.
- 13:10Speaker 6: Paper, Rock, Scissors. I don't know if I, yeah, it's
- 13:12Speaker 6: been someone each. This one I'm seeing now says Rock, Paper,
- 13:15Speaker 6: Scissors Day. I'm not sure, but yeah, Rock, Paper, Scissors
- 13:18Speaker 6: Day is what most people say.
- 13:20Speaker 1: I always think back to the TV show there. Come on, man.
- 13:25Speaker 1: Big Bang Theory. Rock, Paper, Scissors, Spock.
- 13:30Speaker 6: Oh, did they? Sorry. You've got to remember, I never
- 13:32Speaker 6: watched that show.
- 13:33Speaker 1: Yeah, Rock, Paper, Scissors, Spock. You threw an extra one
- 13:35Speaker 1: in there. I don't remember exactly what's... Does Spock beat everyone? No,
- 13:38Speaker 1: Spock doesn't beat everybody, but I can't remember how Spock
- 13:41Speaker 1: works itself into the thing.
- 13:44Speaker 6: I feel like everyone has a strategy with this. You
- 13:46Speaker 6: can get really deep into the weeds with... I do
- 13:50Speaker 6: think it is a skill game. It is a skill game.
- 13:52Speaker 6: It's absolutely a skill game.
- 13:54Speaker 1: With a bit of chance.
- 13:55Speaker 6: A little bit of chance. It's similar to poker. You
- 13:57Speaker 6: play the man... You don't play the cards.
- 14:00Speaker 1: That's right.
- 14:01Speaker 6: And, yeah, it's been deciding things for us for at least, well,
- 14:05Speaker 6: according to this, several hundred years.
- 14:08Speaker 1: Probably has resulted in fewer fistfights.
- 14:11Speaker 6: Yeah, man. I mean.
- 14:12Speaker 1: Hey, the rock, paper, scissors has spoken. We cannot argue anymore.
- 14:17Speaker 6: If you abide by the rock, paper, scissors, I mean,
- 14:22Speaker 6: it can really help you out.
- 14:23Speaker 1: Quick two out of three. Ready? Rock, paper, scissors, shoot. Rock, paper, scissors, shoot. Rock, paper, scissors, shoot. Rock, paper, scissors, shoot. Oh,
- 14:34Speaker 1: you won, Tucker. Paper covered rock in the final thing. Oh, no, no,
- 14:39Speaker 1: I was wrong. It is not rock, paper, scissors, Spock.
- 14:42Speaker 1: It is rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock. From the Big
- 14:46Speaker 1: Bang Theory. Thank you, Jennifer, for correcting me. I do
- 14:49Speaker 1: believe I am the only person who doesn't get these references.
- 14:51Speaker 1: I'm probably going to have to sit down and watch
- 14:53Speaker 1: that awful show. You have to watch the show. It's
- 14:54Speaker 1: not awful. You'll like it. I'm telling you.
- 14:56Speaker 6: They just launched a spinoff.
- 14:58Speaker 1: And I've been watching it. You talk about weird. Stewart
- 15:02Speaker 1: saves the universe.
- 15:03Speaker 6: Stewart fails to save the universe.
- 15:06Speaker 1: It's bizarre. And I'm kind of hooked on it.
- 15:09Speaker 6: Wow. Yeah.
- 15:10Speaker 12: Okay.
- 15:10Speaker 15: Okay.
- 15:11Speaker 6: Something to watch later. Birthdays, what do we have?
- 15:14Speaker 1: Birthdays, Patrick J. Adams is 45. You do not know
- 15:17Speaker 1: the name. You probably know the character. He used to
- 15:20Speaker 1: be Mike Ross, the guy practicing law without a license
- 15:22Speaker 1: on Suits, which was an incredible show. Yeah, great show.
- 15:26Speaker 1: Aaron Paul is 47. Jesse on Breaking Bad. Sarah Chalk
- 15:30Speaker 1: is 50. That's right, Dr. Elliot Reid on Scrubs. She
- 15:34Speaker 1: was also the second Becky on Roseanne, for those who
- 15:36Speaker 1: are counting.
- 15:36Speaker 6: Scrubs, another one, back in Hulu form.
- 15:40Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, and I've enjoyed the reboot. I really have.
- 15:44Speaker 1: Here you go, Tucker. The great Kali is 54. The
- 15:48Speaker 1: WWE star.
- 15:49Speaker 6: He's how old?
- 15:50Speaker 1: 54 years old.
- 15:51Speaker 6: That's a miracle he's made it this long.
- 15:54Speaker 1: He is a giant.
- 15:55Speaker 6: He is huge. He is one of the largest humans
- 15:58Speaker 6: that I think has ever existed on the planet.
- 16:01Speaker 1: Most people, if you didn't watch the wrestling, you saw
- 16:04Speaker 1: him in Get Smart, the Gruber, and especially in Adam
- 16:07Speaker 1: Sandler's version of The Longest Yard.
- 16:08Speaker 6: Yeah, he could barely, this is the thing with him,
- 16:11Speaker 6: he could barely move.
- 16:13Speaker 1: Didn't have to.
- 16:15Speaker 6: He was just such a big dude.
- 16:17Speaker 1: He's like 97 feet tall.
- 16:18Speaker 6: The only move he could do, he could chop you
- 16:20Speaker 6: on top of the head. And then they'd sell that
- 16:23Speaker 6: as like it was some kind of finishing. But no
- 16:25Speaker 6: one could get him up to slam him. So it
- 16:28Speaker 6: kind of made for a boring show.
- 16:30Speaker 14: Yeah.
- 16:30Speaker 6: But yeah, he was a terrifying looking individual.
- 16:33Speaker 1: Yeah, I bet he's just a real gentle guy.
- 16:35Speaker 6: All right.

- 16:43Speaker 16: Hey!
- 16:43Speaker 1: You like the Dog Whisperer?
- 16:45Speaker 6: I love me some Caesar, man. Yeah, he's the whole, like,
- 16:51Speaker 6: he's speaking to your dog as a dog. You know,
- 16:55Speaker 6: it's never worked for me, frankly. Right. I've tried to
- 16:58Speaker 6: do that, and it doesn't do anything.
- 17:00Speaker 1: You've got to be the special kind of guy to
- 17:01Speaker 1: do that.
- 17:02Speaker 6: You've got to, yeah, you've got to. I imagine it's
- 17:05Speaker 6: because my dogs know that I'm a pushover and that
- 17:08Speaker 6: all they have to do is wait me out. And
- 17:11Speaker 6: I think Caesar, like, I'm pretty sure Caesar's dogs know
- 17:14Speaker 6: that if you don't do what Caesar tells you, just
- 17:17Speaker 6: nothing is going to happen until you do that. Like,
- 17:19Speaker 6: it takes patience. I'm just not a patient man.
- 17:22Speaker 1: That's the rub right there. It takes patience. Alex Lifeson

- 25:35Speaker 1: approached a home in the 1200 block of Carolina Street
- 25:39Speaker 1: around 10.30 p.m. and tried to talk his way into
- 25:42Speaker 1: the residence. He reportedly asked the residents if they liked
- 25:45Speaker 1: cookies and offered to conduct Bible study with them. He
- 25:49Speaker 1: smelled of alcohol and had trouble walking. He was booked
- 25:52Speaker 1: into the Brazos County Jail for public intoxication and was
- 25:55Speaker 1: again released on a personal recognizance bond of $ 300, the
- 25:59Speaker 1: same as last week. This was Esquivel's 27th booking into
- 26:03Speaker 1: the jail and his 10th arrest for public intoxication. He
- 26:07Speaker 1: also has numerous arrests for criminal trespass, as well as
- 26:11Speaker 1: assault of EMS personnel and possession of a controlled substance.
- 26:15Speaker 1: A stolen skid steer has been recovered thanks to GPS.
- 26:19Speaker 1: The Burleson County Sheriff's Office said the John Deere skid
- 26:22Speaker 1: steer worth about $ 115, 000 was being used to install fiber
- 26:27Speaker 1: optic lines in Burleson County. GPS tracking data provided by
- 26:31Speaker 1: the rental company, Equipment Share, led officers to the equipment
- 26:34Speaker 1: in a wooded piece of private property in the Clay
- 26:37Speaker 1: community near Snook. They say the equipment was visible from
- 26:40Speaker 1: the road. After matching the identification numbers, the skid steer
- 26:44Speaker 1: was returned to the rental company without damage. Anyone with
- 26:47Speaker 1: information regarding the theft is asked to contact the Burleson
- 26:50Speaker 1: County Sheriff's Office. Less than a week into the College

- 27:46Speaker 1: The central Texas city of Pflugerville near Austin has ended
- 27:50Speaker 1: its relationship with flock. The city covered up all 28
- 27:53Speaker 1: cameras Tuesday in advance of their city council meeting. Pflugerville
- 27:57Speaker 1: announced on Facebook Wednesday that council voted unanimously to end
- 28:01Speaker 1: the agreement with Flock. The city authorized 80 agencies to
- 28:05Speaker 1: access their data, only to discover that nearly 480 agencies
- 28:10Speaker 1: were tapping into the system. Concerns from Pflugerville residents caused
- 28:14Speaker 1: the city to pause renewal of the contract that expired
- 28:17Speaker 1: last month. But after new revelations came to light, Council
- 28:20Speaker 1: member Jonathan Kaufman says the decision was easy.
- 28:23Speaker 24: You know, I'm not sure if we would have uncovered
- 28:26Speaker 24: this evidence and this situation had we gone ahead and
- 28:30Speaker 24: voted last time. But certainly this made it abundantly clear
- 28:33Speaker 24: to all of us that change was needed.
- 28:35Speaker 1: There's a tentative settlement agreement between Meta and dozens of
- 28:39Speaker 1: states over claims that the company designed its apps to
- 28:42Speaker 1: be addictive. The tech giant agrees to pay up to
- 28:45Speaker 1: $ 17 billion over the next 10 years and make changes
- 28:49Speaker 1: to including a daily two-hour time limit. and a ban
- 28:52Speaker 1: on displaying likes for users under 18.
- 28:55Speaker 25: This is not just Instagram and Facebook. We have also
- 28:58Speaker 25: seen similar cases against TikTok, Snapchat, YouTube, and the acknowledgement
- 29:04Speaker 25: that these lawsuits have been targeting the design of these apps.
- 29:07Speaker 25: It's not about the content that's on there. This has
- 29:10Speaker 25: really been a different legal approach that we've seen states
- 29:13Speaker 25: and also individuals to take on these companies, going after
- 29:16Speaker 25: specifically those design features, and now this acknowledgement from the
- 29:19Speaker 25: companies that those features might change.
- 29:22Speaker 1: That's Elizabeth Schultz reporting. META will pay over $ 1 billion
- 29:26Speaker 1: to the state of Texas, funding remediation efforts including youth
- 29:29Speaker 1: mental health services, crisis resources, digital literacy initiatives, after-school programs,

- 32:11Speaker 6: Will just looks up from across. He's like, oh, no.
- 32:13Speaker 1: It's just lightening up some as it's moving into BCS,
- 32:16Speaker 1: you know, as happens.
- 32:17Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 32:18Speaker 1: But we still got some precip out there.
- 32:20Speaker 6: Chris texts in, pretty good sprinkle here at 21 West
- 32:22Speaker 6: and FM 2818.
- 32:23Speaker 1: Yeah, that's about right.
- 32:25Speaker 6: That's what we like to see.
- 32:27Speaker 1: Pretty good sprinkle.
- 32:28Speaker 6: It's keeping those fingers crossed that we get something somewhat
- 32:33Speaker 6: substantial today in town. Other than that, high of 100,
- 32:36Speaker 6: down to 75-ish tonight, and then up to high 90s tomorrow,
- 32:41Speaker 6: which will, you know, I'll take it.
- 32:43Speaker 1: That's not bad. I'll take it.
- 32:45Speaker 6: Whether it's brought to you by Malik Service Company and
- 32:47Speaker 6: the Texas Heat, your air conditioner works overtime at a
- 32:49Speaker 6: well-tuned AC. It'll save you money and keep you comfortable.
- 32:51Speaker 6: Turn to the experts at Malik and Carrier to keep
- 32:53Speaker 6: your AC running properly. Malik, feel the difference. Bad day
- 32:57Speaker 6: to be a flock guy.
- 32:58Speaker 1: Yeah, you noticed in the news there that the town
- 33:01Speaker 1: of Pflugerville, Pflugerville, Texas. Yeah.
- 33:04Speaker 6: Noted Austin suburb.
- 33:06Speaker 1: They got rid of all the flock cameras. City Council
- 33:08Speaker 1: voted to get rid of them. The contract was up.
- 33:12Speaker 14: Yeah.
- 33:13Speaker 1: And for some reason, the vote was delayed. And in
- 33:15Speaker 1: that interim, they found out that the 80 associated organizations
- 33:24Speaker 1: that were supposed to have access to the data.
- 33:26Speaker 6: Now, keep that in mind. Pflugerville had a contract in
- 33:30Speaker 6: front of them that said, Okay, we're going to need
- 33:33Speaker 6: to share. The way this works is share data. It's
- 33:36Speaker 6: not just one person. It's going to be a few people.
- 33:39Speaker 1: You've got to get the right. All the agencies. There's tons, right?
- 33:42Speaker 6: Oh, it's 80.
- 33:42Speaker 17: 80.
- 33:42Speaker 6: It's 80. Wow.
- 33:44Speaker 1: No, it's not 80.
- 33:45Speaker 6: No, it's not.
- 33:46Speaker 1: How many is it?
- 33:47Speaker 6: It's 480. It's 480 different individuals.
- 33:49Speaker 1: So the city council went, oh, hang on.
- 33:52Speaker 6: That's more than 80.
- 33:54Speaker 1: The city council said, you know, there's no way we
- 33:56Speaker 1: can hide this. They said the vote is already predetermined
- 34:00Speaker 1: after this information came out. So, yeah, they are taking
- 34:03Speaker 1: down all the fly cameras in the Pflugerville.
- 34:06Speaker 6: That's the straw that broke its camel's back for Pflugerville. Now,
- 34:09Speaker 6: keep in mind, you've also had every single story that
- 34:12Speaker 6: came out this week of, like, and I don't know how.
- 34:16Speaker 6: I think it makes sense to me that now that
- 34:20Speaker 6: people are looking into it, you would all of a
- 34:23Speaker 6: sudden find every single bad actor who's been using it
- 34:27Speaker 6: to snoop on their girlfriend. You know, just look and
- 34:31Speaker 6: see what people are up to and poke around in there.
- 34:34Speaker 6: And then, you know, stories like this. It's a horrible
- 34:37Speaker 6: week to be in flock.
- 34:39Speaker 1: But you've forgotten about the fact that within the last
- 34:41Speaker 1: two weeks, there was a child that was found that
- 34:44Speaker 1: was abducted thanks to the flock cameras.
- 34:46Speaker 6: That is the other side of this.
- 34:48Speaker 1: And you get those stories. You know, I wonder... I wonder,
- 34:52Speaker 1: because I don't know, but I am a conspiracy theorist,
- 34:55Speaker 1: whether there is somebody that has a competing company in
- 34:59Speaker 1: the works that is pushing out all of this information.
- 35:03Speaker 6: Make sure you bury flock. Well, the CEO was on
- 35:06Speaker 6: Fox yesterday begging for... A compromise.
- 35:11Speaker 1: A national compromise.
- 35:12Speaker 16: I value my privacy. My family values their privacy. My
- 35:14Speaker 16: employees value their privacy. But what we're talking about is
- 35:17Speaker 16: safety as well. And so I think when people talk
- 35:20Speaker 16: about just one of these, privacy or safety, they're prioritizing
- 35:24Speaker 16: the wrong thing. What we have to prioritize as a
- 35:26Speaker 16: country is compromise. How do we have our safety? And
- 35:29Speaker 16: how do we balance privacy?
- 35:30Speaker 6: I mean, yes, you're not wrong, sir.
- 35:33Speaker 1: Please don't get rid of my cameras.
- 35:35Speaker 6: The problem is you are the CEO of Flock.
- 35:38Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 35:38Speaker 6: Which is just.
- 35:40Speaker 1: Slightly biased, maybe.
- 35:41Speaker 6: I don't know that that's going to hit for people
- 35:44Speaker 6: the way you hope. But the fact that he's having
- 35:46Speaker 6: to go on national news programs.
- 35:48Speaker 1: Yeah, you cannot recover this.
- 35:51Speaker 6: Yeah, there's no way out, absolutely, that I can see
- 35:56Speaker 6: that's going to allow you to skirt by this. Because, again,
- 36:01Speaker 6: these contracts are going to keep coming up in every city,
- 36:03Speaker 6: including Mars. What are you supposed to say to that?
- 36:10Speaker 6: It's like, surely, okay, this is a great idea. Look,
- 36:13Speaker 6: it is probably a great idea. But it's a great
- 36:16Speaker 6: idea that Batman showed us was not something that was
- 36:22Speaker 6: ever going to work out well back in the Dark Knight.
- 36:25Speaker 6: You remember that?
- 36:26Speaker 1: Vaguely. Remember, I'm an Adam West Batman.
- 36:28Speaker 6: No, no, this is a Christian Bale Batman. Okay. He
- 36:31Speaker 6: caught the Joker. because they had figured out some crazy
- 36:35Speaker 6: thing that linked all the cameras, all of the cameras together,
- 36:39Speaker 6: so Batman could look and see everything that was going on.
- 36:43Speaker 6: He looked at Alfred and was like, after I get
- 36:45Speaker 6: this guy, I need you to blow this computer up.
- 36:48Speaker 6: Because no one needs this kind of power. That's just
- 36:51Speaker 6: a bad idea.
- 36:52Speaker 1: That exists.
- 36:52Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, that's Palantir. Right.
- 36:55Speaker 1: That exists.
- 36:56Speaker 6: We still have that.
- 36:57Speaker 1: So I did see a website. Sometimes on my social media,
- 37:00Speaker 1: this guy will pop up with really cool websites, and
- 37:03Speaker 1: he just shows them to you, and that's what he does.
- 37:05Speaker 1: That's his social media thing.
- 37:07Speaker 6: Right.
- 37:08Speaker 1: And he showed a website that I saw this morning
- 37:10Speaker 1: that identified every flock camera in the United States, showed
- 37:14Speaker 1: you the location of them. Really?
- 37:16Speaker 21: And.
- 37:17Speaker 1: allowed you to map a route that avoided all the
- 37:20Speaker 1: flock cameras.
- 37:24Speaker 6: See, but this is what happens. You get something cool,
- 37:27Speaker 6: then people get smart, and then you have to get
- 37:29Speaker 6: something else, and then people get smarter again.
- 37:31Speaker 1: And that's happening very fast these days.
- 37:34Speaker 6: So I would ask you, again, it's like, oh, we
- 37:36Speaker 6: didn't have a compromise. No, no, no, that's true, but
- 37:39Speaker 6: it's just more complicated than that.
- 37:41Speaker 1: Much more complicated.
- 37:43Speaker 6: It's a little slight. And again, like, is there a
- 37:45Speaker 6: way to do it? Or maybe we have a state
- 37:49Speaker 6: agency that does, or is that worse? Well, than a
- 37:53Speaker 6: private company.
- 37:53Speaker 1: You're growing government, which is not good.
- 37:56Speaker 6: No one likes that either. So, so yeah. Anyway, I
- 38:00Speaker 6: know we have to move on, but, but yeah, that's,
- 38:03Speaker 6: I anticipate more of the.
- 38:04Speaker 1: Yeah, there's going to be so much stuff coming up.
- 38:07Speaker 6: Tim Curry died yesterday.
- 38:08Speaker 1: He did.
- 38:09Speaker 6: What is happening? We're losing legends left and right.
- 38:13Speaker 1: So many. So many, but you go through streaks like that.
- 38:17Speaker 1: Everybody says it happens in threes.
- 38:19Speaker 6: The three-pack, yeah.
- 38:20Speaker 1: But nobody can agree if Frank Beard was the first
- 38:23Speaker 1: or if Hayden Penetary was the first.
- 38:25Speaker 6: In this one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's unsettling. So
- 38:30Speaker 6: it's leading people to start to create a list of
- 38:34Speaker 6: the celebrities who must be protected at all costs.
- 38:37Speaker 1: No, that's that's the nice way to say it. What
- 38:40Speaker 1: they've created here is a Deadpool.
- 38:42Speaker 6: Oh, this is yeah, this is a this is a
- 38:43Speaker 6: death list.
- 38:44Speaker 1: Yeah, I actually had a good friend and I think
- 38:47Speaker 1: he still does it. And he and his buddies get
- 38:49Speaker 1: together and they do a Deadpool every year and they draft.
- 38:54Speaker 1: And they put money on it. I know it's sick
- 38:56Speaker 1: and twisted.
- 38:56Speaker 6: I'm not going to do that, but I will read you.
- 38:59Speaker 6: Some of the highlights.
- 39:01Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's notable exceptions from this list.
- 39:04Speaker 6: By the way. Sophia Loren, 91, turning 92. Mel Brooks,
- 39:09Speaker 6: we just mentioned him a few days ago. He turned 100. Now,
- 39:12Speaker 6: he's pretty spry.
- 39:13Speaker 1: Still pretty spry, but you're 100.
- 39:14Speaker 6: But you're 100 years old. Michael Caine.
- 39:18Speaker 27: Yeah.
- 39:19Speaker 6: Speaking of Alfred, 93 years old. George Takei, 89. Here's
- 39:25Speaker 6: the one that scared me. David Attenborough. Because I love
- 39:29Speaker 6: me some. nature documentaries. He is also 100 years old.
- 39:33Speaker 6: William Shatner is on the list, 95. Dick Van Dyke,
- 39:36Speaker 6: the legend Dick Van Dyke.
- 39:38Speaker 1: About to be 101.
- 39:38Speaker 6: Yeah, he's lapped 100. He's still going. And he's just
- 39:43Speaker 6: now starting to appear to be somewhere in the neighborhood
- 39:48Speaker 6: of 100. Morgan Freeman is on this list.
- 39:52Speaker 1: You know, the last thing I saw him in, he
- 39:57Speaker 1: really is looking it now. And that kind of got
- 40:01Speaker 1: me in the craw.
- 40:01Speaker 6: I like it. Ian McKellen, Gandalf, and he's still... They
- 40:05Speaker 6: put him in one of the X-Men or Avengers or
- 40:09Speaker 6: something like that. He's still out there working.
- 40:11Speaker 1: It doesn't matter anymore. They capture enough footage and AI
- 40:14Speaker 1: will finish the job.
- 40:15Speaker 6: The one that's... Carol Burnett's on here, too. I don't
- 40:18Speaker 6: want to forget about her. They didn't mention Clint Eastwood.
- 40:23Speaker 23: No.
- 40:23Speaker 6: Which is also one for me.
- 40:25Speaker 1: That was one of my exceptions.
- 40:26Speaker 6: And there's only one that needs to be on this list.
- 40:31Speaker 6: Top of the list.
- 40:32Speaker 1: Yeah, and I don't even want to mention the name.
- 40:34Speaker 6: But, you know, he had red hair. Might be a
- 40:38Speaker 6: little bit of a stranger to some of you guys.
- 40:40Speaker 6: But you find that man.
- 40:43Speaker 1: Put him in bubble wrap.
- 40:44Speaker 6: Put him in medical care immediately.
- 40:46Speaker 1: Cryogenically forced. freeze him, do whatever.
- 40:49Speaker 6: We need to preserve our assets. And that man is
- 40:53Speaker 6: not allowed to go anytime soon.
- 40:56Speaker 1: It's one of those, I mean, let's face it. How
- 41:00Speaker 1: old is Willie now?
- 41:01Speaker 6: 93, 92? Yeah, low 90s, I think I can't place it.
- 41:06Speaker 1: So, I mean, he's there. That's something that That when
- 41:11Speaker 1: Dolly first started getting sick and a lot of people,
- 41:14Speaker 1: you know, she played it down, but a lot of
- 41:16Speaker 1: people didn't notice.
- 41:17Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 41:18Speaker 1: I was thinking to myself, you know, this is going
- 41:20Speaker 1: to be bad.
- 41:21Speaker 6: Right.
- 41:21Speaker 1: And it's going to be bad, I think, more globally
- 41:24Speaker 1: than what Willie's death would be.
- 41:26Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 41:27Speaker 1: But here in the state of Texas.
- 41:28Speaker 6: It's going to shut down the entire state.
- 41:30Speaker 1: I think it should.
- 41:31Speaker 6: Text message. Keith Richards has been on my Deadpool since 1983.
- 41:35Speaker 1: That's a bad bet.
- 41:36Speaker 6: He's going to be on your Deadpool in 100 years,
- 41:39Speaker 6: my man. He ain't going anywhere. He's safe.
- 41:41Speaker 27: Hi, this is Neil Sperry, and I'll be back with

- 42:21Speaker 27: but if you don't prepare those plants now in the fall,
- 42:24Speaker 27: it's a groggy eye-opening in March. We're going to outline
- 42:27Speaker 27: the critical tips to ensure the best possible bloom of
- 42:30Speaker 27: your spring flowering shrubs, trees, vines, perennials, and even annuals
- 42:33Speaker 27: right after this message. Avid gardeners know that when it

- 42:40Speaker 27: you want a healthy, well-established plant, It has to have

- 43:33Speaker 27: Texas plants. When you're getting your spring flowering plants ready
- 43:37Speaker 27: to bloom in the fall, you need to remember that
- 43:39Speaker 27: most spring blooming woody plants actually set their flower buds
- 43:43Speaker 27: in the fall. That would be for dogwoods and wisteria,
- 43:45Speaker 27: for example. You can tell by the end of October
- 43:47Speaker 27: and November whether you're going to have a good bud
- 43:49Speaker 27: count come springtime. The implication of that fall bud set
- 43:53Speaker 27: is that you have to fertilize in the fall, and
- 43:55Speaker 27: that may be the case. But you need to have
- 43:57Speaker 27: a soil test run periodically. Don't be surprised if the
- 44:00Speaker 27: soil test shows that you already have too much of
- 44:02Speaker 27: the middle number. phosphorus which of course is critical in
- 44:06Speaker 27: promoting good flower bud set it may just call for
- 44:09Speaker 27: a high nitrogen fertilizer and that's okay keep your spring
- 44:12Speaker 27: flowering shrubs well watered all winter long and trees and
- 44:16Speaker 27: vines as well it's especially important during periods of drought
- 44:19Speaker 27: also when really cold weather is expected don't let adverse
- 44:22Speaker 27: weather dry out the flower buds mulching is also a
- 44:25Speaker 27: great help in conserving available soil moisture Most spring flowering
- 44:30Speaker 27: vines are handled in just the same way as their
- 44:32Speaker 27: shrubby counterparts. Carolina jessamine, for example, sets the buds in
- 44:36Speaker 27: the fall and may actually come into bloom during periods
- 44:38Speaker 27: of warm weather in mid-fall or early winter. Climbing roses
- 44:42Speaker 27: bloom on woody stems that they produced in the prior
- 44:45Speaker 27: growing season, so you must not prune them until after
- 44:48Speaker 27: their flushes spring bloom in April and early May. Wisterias
- 44:52Speaker 27: have set buds in the fall, as we mentioned, and
- 44:54Speaker 27: you must not prune those in the fall. You just
- 44:57Speaker 27: keep them moist and hope for the best. Your spring
- 44:59Speaker 27: flowering perennial should be dug and divided in the fall.
- 45:03Speaker 27: You don't necessarily have to do it every year, but
- 45:05Speaker 27: as the plants become crowded, you'll find that they'll grow
- 45:08Speaker 27: and bloom better if they have their own spaces. Some
- 45:11Speaker 27: of the most likely candidates would include oxalis, violets, evening primrose, iris, daylilies, ajuga, mallows, heliopsis,
- 45:18Speaker 27: and others. Some of your naturalized bulbs are probably also
- 45:22Speaker 27: needing to be dug and reset, and that needs to
- 45:24Speaker 27: be done ASAP. Early September is always best. Jonquils and narcissus,
- 45:30Speaker 27: even some of the species types of tulips, you really
- 45:33Speaker 27: need to dig and move them in early September. I'd
- 45:36Speaker 27: get it done right away if you haven't already. If
- 45:38Speaker 27: you're in the market for wildflowers, they should be planted
- 45:41Speaker 27: during September into loosely prepared soil away from any kind
- 45:46Speaker 27: of turf grass. Turf grass and wildflowers that are maturing
- 45:49Speaker 27: their seeds just do not grow well together.
- 45:52Speaker 6: There are also a lot of.
- 45:53Speaker 27: Annuals you can plant in the fall for spring color.
- 45:55Speaker 27: In fact, you know what? We'll talk about those another
- 45:57Speaker 27: time here. I'm Neal Spear, and in our next Plant
- 46:00Speaker 27: Talk Texas, composting for the common man. Until then, happy gardening.

- 47:49Speaker 28: Good morning, I'm Riley Flurkey with your morning sports update
- 47:53Speaker 28: on 1620-945-WTAW. The A & M soccer team continues their
- 47:58Speaker 28: season-opening four-game home stretch tonight at Ellis Field as they
- 48:03Speaker 28: return for their second home game contest against the unbeaten.
- 48:06Speaker 6: Air Force Falcons.
- 48:08Speaker 28: Head coach Bobby Shuttleworth reflected back on the Aggies' shutout
- 48:11Speaker 28: win against Sam Houston and the team's development over the
- 48:14Speaker 28: past few games.
- 48:16Speaker 17: I think shutout first and foremost. I think it looked
- 48:19Speaker 17: like a group that was connected and together and solving
- 48:22Speaker 17: the game. I think that was the biggest thing. You know,
- 48:24Speaker 17: we went over video yesterday and you could see just
- 48:27Speaker 17: in the movement of our group and the way that
- 48:29Speaker 17: we were all kind of had a plan moving together
- 48:31Speaker 17: and solving the game. Obviously, anytime you get a win,
- 48:34Speaker 17: it's positive and people are feeling good. I think, you know,
- 48:37Speaker 17: I spoke to our team about when you win, you're
- 48:39Speaker 17: not that good. And when you lose, you're not that bad.
- 48:41Speaker 17: You know, I look at our play throughout the four
- 48:44Speaker 17: games and I think we haven't been consistent enough and
- 48:47Speaker 17: I think there's been moments where we've shown we can
- 48:49Speaker 17: be a really good team and then there's been moments
- 48:51Speaker 17: where we showed we can be a pretty average team.
- 48:54Speaker 17: I spoke a lot with them about a great win,
- 48:57Speaker 17: but now we need to move forward because we're going
- 48:58Speaker 17: to be playing against another good team.
- 49:00Speaker 28: Coach Shuttleworth also shared thoughts ahead of tonight's game against
- 49:04Speaker 28: Air Force and what the team has been focusing on
- 49:06Speaker 28: ahead of the match.
- 49:08Speaker 17: I think we're playing against a good team. Obviously, like
- 49:10Speaker 17: you said, undefeated and they've scored a lot of goals,
- 49:12Speaker 17: so You know, we're just working on just that, staying
- 49:15Speaker 17: connected with each other, making sure that, you know, we're
- 49:18Speaker 17: doing the work to support one another, both in a
- 49:20Speaker 17: and in defense, and then continuing to just be good
- 49:23Speaker 17: with the ball and making sure that our technical execution
- 49:25Speaker 17: is consistent.
- 49:27Speaker 28: The Aggies contest against Air Force starts tonight at 7 o'clock.
