  Speaker 1: Yeah, I did have a little bit Thursday night last

  Speaker 1: week at a women's service organization from A & M.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: that rented the property and they left it in an
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: unsatisfactory condition.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: They provided a valuable service, which is trying to destroy

• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Yes, I will. And things are going quite well.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: Good.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I did. I did reach out to to some. First
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: of all, there was lots of great suggestions and help
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: from people. I mean, legitimate to contact and do that
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: sort of thing.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: So.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I contacted some folks at A & M. They
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: reached back out to me, and I responded, and the
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: process is ongoing.
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: And I'm going to guess that's what a lot— you' re doing
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: a lot of shopping yesterday.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I had to— Homeware. Yeah, I had to go
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: get a couple of— I had to go— I was looking for
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: the entry rugs, like the carpets at the entryway doors. uh,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: interior were wrecked. So I had to go get two
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: more rugs there. I couldn't find a circular one, like
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: was in the, in the entryway, the main entryway. So
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I had to order that off the Amazon had to
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: go buy a, get a few things at the, at
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the Lowe's while I was there.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: That's, that's what you texted me. You texted me a
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: pick from the Lowe's, which, um, which I will share
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: with the rest of the brass.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: It was a little staggering. I walked into the Lowe's
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: and immediately to my left where I'm expecting to see
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: all of the Halloween.
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: Because it is September 29th and the Halloween month begins
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: in a couple.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Of begins starts in a couple of days.
• 7:38
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: We ain't even out of September.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And I look over to where the prime location is. Yeah.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: And it is Christmas. Halloween has been shoved in the corner.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Nobody puts Halloween in the corner. And I'm sorry, but
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: how dare you skip over what may be my favorite holiday?
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving. Just washed away Thanksgiving.
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: Just absolutely steamrolled Thanksgiving. And honestly, here's the shocking part
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: of the picture to me. It's 50-50.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Easy. If it leans any way, it leans Christmas.
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: At best, it's 50-50.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: And that is.
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: That is just a tragedy.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Look, I am all for celebrating the birth of our
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Lord and Savior.
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: And the season is whatever it means to you.
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, what I see here is not necessarily our Lord
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: and Savior, but the Claymation Rudolph inflatables and then the
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: animatronics associated with that. But yes, I agree. There are
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: many ways to celebrate the season. I love the Claymation Rudolph.
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: I would just like to see him in November.
• 8:40
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: Just, you know.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: November.
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: For purchase.
• 8:42
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: In November. This is why people put up their, you
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: know what this is doing? The consequences of this is
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: it's making the Halloweenies go way earlier than they normally should.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: And they don't need too much encouragement to do, yeah.
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: So, do you have any in your neighborhood that have already.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Well, my neighborhood's a little bit different.
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: Oh, you're in the country, geez, yeah.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I did. There was, back in the beginning of
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: the summer, in fact, it was right after I got
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the Godzilla, the new truck. I took it down the road.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: And.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: I noticed off in the trees, uh, something that caught
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: my eye. It's kind of the intersection of two roads
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: out there by the Brazos river. And there was a
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: flagpole that had two skeletons climbing up it. And then
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: it had two like dog skeletons below leaning up against
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: the pole. Like the dog skeletons had treated.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: Oh Lord.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: And I was just like, Oh, it's Halloween. But yeah, no,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: usually the Halloween decorations, uh, In the neighborhoods I used
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: to live in, it was easy. It had to be
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: in October.
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: I've got full-on haunted house happening at three different houses.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: Within a stone's throw of my house. I mean, I
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: can see all three of them from my.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: They're getting up and running. All the way.
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: All the way. They've changed the lights, They've got the
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: spooky lighting. They've got the inflatables. One of them does
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: have the 30-foot, you know, the giant skeleton that everyone
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: likes so much and whatever. And I'm always, like, I
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: want to be annoyed, but then when you see that
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: they're putting Christmas right in our face at this point,
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: I don't know that I blame them. I don't know
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: that I blame them. They're just trying to stake their claim.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they've been subjected to the brainwashing of I have
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: to get this now or somebody else is going to
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: get it.
• 10:25
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: Is there a time? When do you consider the appropriate
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: time to actually make that switch?
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: It's got to be in October.
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: That's what I've always thought.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, even that's early, but I will give you
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: a pass if you're setting up on October 1st.
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: A quick question for the room. 979-695-1620 if you want
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: to weigh in. Do you have any neighbors who have
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: already gone full bore Halloween where you live in your
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: neighborhood that they're already there? Like they're not waiting for
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: October 1st. Frankly, they've probably been there for a few weeks.
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: Do you have any homes in your neighborhood that have
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: made the transition already?
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: And don't feel like you're snitching.
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: It's not snitching. Again, I think we have discovered the
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: reason why.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Well, and that's their property. It's infringement. If they want
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: to leave Halloween up all year, it is their right
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: to do so.
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: Yes. I can't hate. If you want to have a
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: spooky witch vibe, 365, what do I care? But I
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: would be interested to know how many neighborhoods have already
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: seen the decoration.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, how many of your neighbors? We want to see.
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: Anyway, text us if you got some 979-695-1620. We'll be
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: back after this.

  Speaker 12: Hello, Brazos Valley. This is Brandon Eisman with Dean and
• 11:42
  Speaker 12: Draper Insurance. I don't know about you, but it seems
• 11:45
  Speaker 12: to me that inflation has really taken a bite out
• 11:47
  Speaker 12: of our lives over the last couple of years. It
• 11:50
  Speaker 12: feels like everything has increased from groceries to vehicles and
• 11:54
  Speaker 12: from property taxes to, yes, insurance. And speaking of insurance,
• 11:58
  Speaker 12: the cost of home and auto insurance has risen more
• 12:01
  Speaker 12: in the last two years than I've witnessed in my career,
• 12:04
  Speaker 12: and it's absolutely impacting our budgets. It can be very frustrating.
• 12:08
  Speaker 12: At Dean & Draper Insurance, we can't promise to solve
• 12:11
  Speaker 12: the inflation problem, but we can shop several high-quality insurance

  Speaker 5: floor set out for Christmas on September the 28th. That's
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: a little much. But we are, it's my belief that

  Speaker 5: know it when you see it.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the brand.
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: It's the jar of pepperoncinis.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the one. They've issued a voluntary recall for
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: a specific batch of the jarred peppers... After a customer
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: shared a viral social media video.
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: Shall I play this TikTok for us?
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Go ahead and play the TikTok.
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: Public service announcement. Don't buy this brand of pepperoncinis.

  Speaker 4: I have a dead mouse in mind. Just so you
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: guys know.
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: Why did you have to share that? Why did you
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: have to?
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I mean, it looks legit. It looks legit
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: enough that they have issued a recall.

  Speaker 5: I don't... Go ahead.
• 17:46
  Speaker 19: Continue.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so if you have... Jars of the Mazzetta Golden
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Greek pepperoncinis, the medium heat, whatever, the 32-ounce jar. Look
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: up the SKU online and the lot number, and they
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: can tell you whether or not yours may have had
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: some rodent contamination issues. It's a whole mouse, dude. Yeah.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: It's a whole mouse. You know, when I saw, they
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: call it pest contaminant. Yeah. When I saw this story,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: it threw me back to the days of yesteryear. And
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: I thought, I've seen this movie before.
• 18:19
  Speaker 21: Oh.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Strange Brew. Stop it. Bob and Doug McKenzie. Stop what?
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: They put a mouse in the El Snore beer.
• 18:26
  Speaker 22: You can't make a Bob and Doug McKenzie reference. Does
• 18:29
  Speaker 22: anyone still remember this?
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: I remember it for what it's worth.
• 18:32
  Speaker 18: Yes.
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: I absolutely remember it.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, take off if you don't. But yeah, they.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: They had the Elsinore beer and they were trying to
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: get it back to the Elsinore factory.
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: No spoiler alerts for you guys who haven't seen that.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: If you haven't, yeah, watch it.
• 18:47
  Speaker 12: It's fun.
• 18:47
  Speaker 22: All you're telling them is that there is a script opportunity.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: There is. Waiting.
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: Just waiting for someone to capitalize.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't like pepperoncinis. You throw them
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: in the crock pot with the roast. Exactly. You know,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: you may serve one with a pizza.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Papa John's loves them pepperoncinis. Who cooks their batch,
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: I ask you?
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you want to know.
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: Is it a setup?
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: You don't want to know.
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: That might be something to look into.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it could be big rat meat.
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: It'd be a big old mouse. This is the thing.
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: People freak out about this, but there is an allowable
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: amount of rats.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Of insects?
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: There's an allowable amount of anything that you can have
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: in your food. And again, it's just... You are better
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: off not knowing.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: You are.
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: I stand by this.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: You are better off not knowing. I hesitate for you
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: to even bring this up.
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: Right, because you don't want to know.
• 19:40
  Speaker 16: No.
• 19:40
  Speaker 22: But it's been that way forever, and you've eaten the
• 19:45
  Speaker 22: stuff that you love every day of your life, and
• 19:47
  Speaker 22: it hadn't hurt you.
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: Just don't think about it that much.
• 19:50
  Speaker 22: And when you find something like that, you find a mouse,
• 19:53
  Speaker 22: call the company and get a refund, and then throw
• 19:55
  Speaker 22: it away.
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: It doesn't need to be on TikTok. God and everyone.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: You might want to make sure that they warn others
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: about that. They're not trying to have a cover up there.
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: I don't think you need to warn people about the
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: dead mouse. You can look at the jar and see.
• 20:08
  Speaker 18: Hey!
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: I think something's wrong with this jar of pepper. What
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: are you going to do, just hoover it?
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: You don't know the whole batch that the mouse was
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: swimming around in. How many meeses are in there? I mean, just,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: you don't want any of that. But you can take
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: your beer back to the El Snore factory. It looks
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: like a castle. Actually, you can't now. You could not
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: bring that back to the United States if you had
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: your Elsnore beer from Canada.
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: No, Elsnore beer is no longer legal.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know that Elsnore is actually a brand. Well,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: if it was legal. If you're a Molson person, if
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: you're a Syrup person.
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: It's over.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: You're a Crown Royal person.
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: That's right.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: It's done. I hope y'all stocked up. Because today, that
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: is black market material. You can't get it. Because Canada
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: is still holding on to this thing.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Actually, I think it was us that said you can't
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: import it anymore.
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: Well, no, but I mean, they're not tapping out.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: No, they're not yet, but hey, pretty soon they will.
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: You better get there before Christmas. Maple syrup, whiskey, things
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: like that.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but look, I'm not a big maple guy, and
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Canadian whiskey is subpar.
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: You know what? It's an opportunity to change. Discover bourbon.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would rather drink, I don't know, pick a country.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Venezuelan whiskey. Does that exist? I doubt it, but if
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: somebody made some, it'd be better than the swill they're
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: serving in the Great White North.
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: All right, we've got news that's coming up next. You
• 21:35

• 22:43
  Speaker 5: old saying, look before you leap? Common sense, people. You
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: just have to look in the jar. Yeah.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: So you don't get a fork full of mouse.
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: A fork full of mouse. Again, just yes, yes, common
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: sense is key. Today, we're looking at mid-90s for highs,
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: looking at a 20% chance of rain, which is unlikely,
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: but yeah, a pop-up afternoon shower could still happen. You
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: were saying that it's just nasty.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: There's a line of thundershowers that runs from just east
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: of the Big Bend on the border all the way
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: up into Canada. And it runs through, the line essentially
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: is Lubbock, Amarillo, Midland, uh you know that line and
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: that's where it's sitting right now and it's i mean
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: it's it's a i haven't seen this in so many.
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: Months yeah i don't know what to think about it
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: actual predictable rain it's very strange.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah but i mean knock on wood we could we
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: could still get squeezed out the dome the dome will
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: be a factor.
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah it's it's it's the uh It's the ultimate showdown.
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: Far better showdown than A & M in Arkansas this weekend.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: I think so. Dome versus precipitation.
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: Anyway, 40% chance tomorrow and then much higher chances of
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: rain for Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Weather's brought to

  Speaker 24: On this Tuesday, I'm thinking about artificial intelligence. The sharpest
• 25:03
  Speaker 24: knife in the drawer has arrived, and no one will
• 25:06
  Speaker 24: escape the vast changes about to descend on the world.
• 25:11
  Speaker 24: If AI becomes weaponized... a likely scenario, a cyber war
• 25:18
  Speaker 24: could doom the planet. While we wait for oversight action
• 25:23
  Speaker 24: by Congress, the usual debate rages over government restrictions. President
• 25:29
  Speaker 24: Trump well understands that China is hell-bent in its pursuit
• 25:34
  Speaker 24: of AI dominance. No matter what we do here, the
• 25:39
  Speaker 24: Chinese government will harness AI power to its fullest extent
• 25:45
  Speaker 24: But the president also realizes the economic benefits of the
• 25:50
  Speaker 24: AI breakout, enormous money. In addition, medical research will explode,
• 25:57
  Speaker 24: and many maladies are likely to be cured. Daily tasks
• 26:01
  Speaker 24: will be done by voices you direct on your computers. However,
• 26:07
  Speaker 24: we all have few protections against miscreants who will use
• 26:11
  Speaker 24: AI to commit crimes like extortion and theft. In the
• 26:17
  Speaker 24: face of all this, Congress does what it usually does, nothing.
• 26:22
  Speaker 24: Danger is coming. Time to put up some protections. Back

  Speaker 1: character development, and public service experience as it relates to
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: civic readiness. Another vision comes in the form of expanding
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: clinical health partnerships.
• 29:38
  Speaker 28: As part of our vision to elevate health, I'm pleased
• 29:42
  Speaker 28: to share we are aggressively exploring clinical partnerships that could
• 29:47
  Speaker 28: ultimately allow us to establish a Texas A & M
• 29:50
  Speaker 28: branded hospital. Such partnerships stand to further elevate our clinical standing,
• 29:58
  Speaker 28: strengthen our teaching mission, and accelerate our research impact.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: President Balabina says through A & M System Agency partners,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: the university already has relationships in communities throughout Texas, and
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: a few institutions have both the scientific capacity and the
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: statewide infrastructure to translate discovery into service at that scale.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Governor Greg Abbott is taking action to try to alleviate
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: some of the pain at the pump. He issued a
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: statewide disaster proclamation on Monday to allow the expanded use
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: of dyed diesel on Texas roads. Red dyed diesel is
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: typically used in ag operations and sold without a motor
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: fuels tax. Because it is untaxed, state law bars its
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: use on public roadways. Governor Abbott asked EPA Administrator Lee
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Zeldin for a temporary Clean Air Act waiver of federal
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: diesel rules. Those standards limit which diesel can be sold
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: and a waiver would allow more fuel to reach Texas pumps.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: The governor's proclamation suspends state restrictions and associated penalties so
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: operators can use such fuel on Texas roads. It does
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: not waive the underlying fuel tax. A large portion of
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: the state is expected to experience heavy rains and flooding
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: this week. The governor says state agencies will be standing by.
• 31:12
  Speaker 29: Parts of the I-35 corridor from the Oklahoma border through
• 31:15
  Speaker 29: DFW and south of San Antonio could get 10 inches
• 31:17
  Speaker 29: of rain this week from a cold front. while Governor
• 31:19
  Speaker 29: Greg Abbott says West Texas and the Panhandle will get
• 31:22
  Speaker 29: drenched from the remnants of Hurricane Polo.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: There could be damage to property because of this water.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Know that your life is far more than the value
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: of any piece of property.
• 31:31
  Speaker 29: Texas Division of Emergency Management Chief Nim Kidd says this
• 31:34
  Speaker 29: will cover a wider area than heavy rain in July.
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: Turn around, don't drown is the most important message.
• 31:38
  Speaker 13: We can get that out. We lose too many lives
• 31:40
  Speaker 13: and people trying to drive through low water in their vehicles.
• 31:43
  Speaker 29: He says they'll have boat teams across West Texas, and
• 31:45
  Speaker 29: DPS and the National Guard will have equipment and manpower
• 31:47
  Speaker 29: across the state. saying they know big events are scheduled
• 31:50
  Speaker 29: across Texas this week, from the state fair to college
• 31:52
  Speaker 29: football to the start of Austin City Limits this weekend.

• 32:01
  Speaker 1: There are open requests for Paxton to debate at Texas
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: A & M and Fox News. The Tallarico camp announced
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Monday afternoon that CNN will air a town hall with
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Tallarico from Fort Worth on October 14th. Coincidentally, that is
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: the date that the MSC Wiley Lecture Series extended for
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: their debate. Burleson County Sheriff Bill Rios is hosting a
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: town hall meeting tonight in Caldwell. The Burleson County Emergency
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Management Director and Fire Chiefs from local volunteer fire departments
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: will be in attendance to answer questions. The meeting starts

• 32:35
  Speaker 1: will be streamed on the Burleson County Sheriff's Facebook page.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: A bill aimed at reshaping the college sports industry took
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: a major step toward becoming law. By an overwhelming vote
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: of 77 to 22, the U.S. Senate voted to pass
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: the Protect College Sports Act Monday night. The bill now
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: moves to the House of Representatives, where it will face
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: opposition from both sides of the political spectrum. and a
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: narrow window to garner support. Fox's Chad Pergram has more.
• 33:04
  Speaker 18: It's the most consequential bill on sports in decades. It
• 33:09
  Speaker 18: commands bipartisan support. Now, the plan lets schools spend $ 49
• 33:14
  Speaker 18: million on players, but athletes can still earn money for
• 33:18
  Speaker 18: their name, image, and likeness.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: It also stops repeated transfers.
• 33:23
  Speaker 18: Now, President Trump.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Pushed the bill.
• 33:24
  Speaker 18: He says the system was desperate.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: The alternative is just as no good.
• 33:29
  Speaker 30: You had people leaving the NFL to play and the
• 33:32
  Speaker 30: colleges could never have afforded it.
• 33:34
  Speaker 18: The House won't consider the bill until after the midterm.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: If the bill doesn't get through the House during a
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: lame duck legislative session before new Congress takes over in January,
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: the full process would have to start from the beginning.

• 38:05
  Speaker 5: word of the day, Will?
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: I have yet to utter one today.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 38:09
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: There's an article that came out that said the average
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: American doesn't let the first curse word fly until 1054 a.m.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Now, keep in mind that the average American gets up
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: three to four hours later than what we do.
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: Oh, OK. So you're right. You're right. You're right. If
• 38:28
  Speaker 5: you woke up at seven, you got to work at nine.
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: That's really only a couple hours.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Before you've reached that.
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: You had to get salty.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, before you reach that time and temperature moment.
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: 25% usually don't make it until 9 a.m. That's a
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: lot of people, Will.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: It's a lot of people.
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: It's a lot of people. Can you go a whole day?
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: Do any of you guys, I mean, again, honestly, like
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: honest evaluation.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: If I was making a conscious effort to do so, because,
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, legitimately, I've never had, and it has happened
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: to many people in our career field, where you accidentally
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: let something fly. You know, that has never happened to me.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: You've never, never.
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: See, I've also never had, I've been a part of
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: shows where, Other people have accidentally... Right. But for whatever reason,
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: I think it's baked into my brain.
• 39:25
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: When we enter these doors.
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: That I can.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: I always treat a microphone like it's a little... loaded gun.
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: When I'm in presentation mode, it's not a problem.
• 39:34
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: And I don't know why that is. So, yeah, if
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: I needed.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: Making a conscious effort, I think we could.
• 39:40
  Speaker 26: Yeah.
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: But my question is for the average person. Are there
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: any of you guys out there that still just don't
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: curse at all?
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: I would bet that there are some. I think it's
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: a minority.
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: I think those days are gone.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, even my mother-in-law.
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: I can't watch CNN without someone dropping some.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: Kind of exploit. My mother-in-law, who is a absolute, I mean,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: she's a saint. She is just shy of a nun.
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: Right? My youngest daughter learned her first cuss word from
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: her grandmother. And I can't remember. I mean, she was little.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: three-ish maybe when she uttered it in the backseat. And
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: the great thing was that she used it in proper context.
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: That's all you get. I just want to see it
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: used correctly.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: And it wasn't one of the really bad ones.
• 40:28
  Speaker 5: Oh, well, then what are we even talking about here?
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: It was a cute story.
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: What are we even talking about here?
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: Cute story indeed.
• 40:35
  Speaker 5: Did you ever get the bar of soap?
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: No, I never got the bars up.
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: When you were a kid.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: I think the first time I uttered a curse word
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: was when I was a member of the College Station
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: Soccer Club back in the early days of its formation
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: in the 1970s.
• 40:56
  Speaker 23: Oh, wow.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: And I had heard a teammate, he said the S word.
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: Lord, Will.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: And I thought, that sounded cool. So I did it
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: as well, right in front of my parents and some
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: of their good friends. And I did get a little
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: talking to after that. But there was never a bar
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: of soap moment.
• 41:15
  Speaker 5: I would love to hear from you guys. Yeah, if
• 41:18
  Speaker 5: you're one of those people that just doesn't curse, I
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: find you fascinating.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's... I find you fascinating. That's our white whale
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: this morning.
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know if that's going to happen.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: But we want to hear what your experiences are as well. Like, Misty,
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: the morning commute often leads to the first expletive of
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: the day.
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: I'm surprised you make it to the morning commute, Misty. Usually,
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: I'll be very honest and vulnerable here. Usually it's right
• 41:42
  Speaker 5: when my alarm goes off.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: Really? That utters?
• 41:46
  Speaker 5: Because it's so traumatic. It's like, I mean, that's the
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: worst I feel all day. It's the worst I feel
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: all day.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: Now, five minutes later.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: Great mood. No, as soon, I actually, you know, I
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: tend to wake up before the alarm.
• 41:59
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: Like this morning, my alarm goes off at 245. I
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: actually woke up slightly before that.
• 42:05
  Speaker 21: Good.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: And turned off the alarm, got up, brushed my teeth,
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: laid back down for my second alarm to go off
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: at 3. And I just laid there, you know, and
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: I was just, it was a good day. A little relaxing.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: I have no problems with the mornings.
• 42:21
  Speaker 9: None.
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: That's insane to me. Fred, I just had an extended
• 42:26
  Speaker 5: cursing session at a long red light. but I'm also
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: running late to work. Yep, that'll get you.
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: You know what? And I have to admit, I'm not certain.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: I did sit at a very, very, very long light
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: this morning. If you don't catch at 3 a.m., if
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: you don't catch that light at the intersection northbound of
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: the Highway 6 access road in Rock Prairie, you can
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: be there a good several minutes this is fun keep
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: texting so i'm not sure if i cussed this morning
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: there or not i was there for the entire cycle.
• 42:55
  Speaker 5: Jennifer driving highway six didn't make it to 8 a.m before.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: The first one just let it fly is.
• 43:01
  Speaker 5: It always traffic Are all of these going to be traffic?
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: They could be.
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: All right, look, Texas, we'll get back to this coming up.

  Speaker 32: Pride is dangerous. It blinds us to the truth, which
• 43:52
  Speaker 32: makes us ignore signs that trouble lies ahead. In 1941,
• 43:57
  Speaker 32: months before Pearl Harbor, a Navy officer named Edwin Layton
• 44:01
  Speaker 32: gave his superiors a stern warning. Japan was planning an
• 44:05
  Speaker 32: attack on the naval base in Hawaii. Edwin knew what
• 44:08
  Speaker 32: he was talking about. He'd spent years studying Japanese military strategy,
• 44:13
  Speaker 32: and knew his analysis was accurate, but the admirals above
• 44:17
  Speaker 32: Edwin ignored him.
• 44:18
  Speaker 24: Why?
• 44:19
  Speaker 32: Historians say pride was a strong motivator.
• 44:22
  Speaker 12: U.S.
• 44:22
  Speaker 32: Leadership at the time was confident in the Pacific Fleet.
• 44:26
  Speaker 32: They believed Pearl Harbor was invincible, and no one would
• 44:29
  Speaker 32: be foolish enough to attack it. That arrogance proved costly
• 44:33
  Speaker 32: on December 7, 1941, when almost 2,500 Americans were killed.
• 44:39
  Speaker 32: Pride makes warning signs easy to ignore, like our marriage
• 44:43
  Speaker 32: is in trouble, or our children are headed down the
• 44:46
  Speaker 32: wrong path, or we're ruining our finances. We see the indicators,
• 44:51
  Speaker 32: but we tell ourselves there's no real danger. The results
• 44:54
  Speaker 32: can be tragic. The Bible says pride goes before destruction.
• 44:59
  Speaker 32: It's pride that convinces us we're fine when we've actually
• 45:02
  Speaker 32: lost our way, that we're strong when we're actually vulnerable.
• 45:06
  Speaker 32: or that we don't need correction when we actually need
• 45:09
  Speaker 32: it the most. Pride shuts our eyes to the truth.
• 45:12
  Speaker 32: Humility opens them and allows us to see. For Focus
• 45:16
  Speaker 32: on the Family, I'm Jim Daley.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: The following is not an actor, but a real-life story
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: from Trinity Debt Management.
• 45:23
  Speaker 16: Every day I speak with people who are worried and
• 45:26
  Speaker 16: are feeling a lot of pressure because of credit card debt.
• 45:30
  Speaker 16: That's why I'm very proud of what we do at Trinity.
• 45:33
  Speaker 16: We just help.
• 45:34
  Speaker 5: We give people the support they.
• 45:36
  Speaker 16: Need along with a real plan to become debt-free. Credit
• 45:40
  Speaker 16: card bills are consolidated into a single monthly payment that
• 45:44
  Speaker 16: is much less than what they were paying before. Most
• 45:47
  Speaker 16: of our members end up saving thousands. and even may
• 45:50
  Speaker 16: improve their credit scores by as much as 200 points.
• 45:54
  Speaker 16: I know from the bottom of my heart that I'm
• 45:56
  Speaker 16: making a difference in the lives of the people we help.
• 46:00
  Speaker 16: It just makes me really happy.
• 46:02
  Speaker 33: If credit card debt has you down, call Trinity at 1-800-990-6976.
• 46:08
  Speaker 16: My name is Julie, and I'm a Trinity counselor. Call
• 46:11
  Speaker 16: me and become debt free for keeps.
• 46:13
  Speaker 18: 1-800-990-6976.
• 46:19
  Speaker 10: What do we really know about James Tallarico?
• 46:22
  Speaker 34: Tallarico said, Defending trans Texas is something we have to
• 46:25
  Speaker 34: do every day.
• 46:27
  Speaker 10: Tallarico supported using taxpayer dollars for sex change surgeries on
• 46:31
  Speaker 10: young children, claimed denying your child's gender identity is abusive,
• 46:35
  Speaker 10: said the trans community needs abortion care too, and even
• 46:39
  Speaker 10: called Jesus a radical feminist and said God is non-binary.
• 46:44
  Speaker 34: Defending trans Texas is something we have to do every day.
• 46:47
  Speaker 10: But it gets worse. James Tallarico voted to allow biological
• 46:51
  Speaker 10: men access to women's bathrooms in schools and for biological
• 46:55
  Speaker 10: boys to play in girls' sports, saying some things are
• 46:59
  Speaker 10: more important than fair competition in sports.
• 47:02
  Speaker 34: Defending trans Texans is something we have to do every day.

  Speaker 8: Good morning, I'm Riley Flarky with your morning sports update

  Speaker 8: The Aggie football team will be playing against Arkansas for
• 47:53
  Speaker 8: the third time ever in college stations since the Aggies
• 47:56
  Speaker 8: joined the SEC on Saturday night. Head coach Mike Elko
• 48:00
  Speaker 8: spoke about the significance of this week's game and the
• 48:03
  Speaker 8: university's celebrations with it.
• 48:05
  Speaker 25: Excited to start the 150th anniversary kickoff Saturday night. Obviously
• 48:10
  Speaker 25: a huge thing for this university and honored that they're
• 48:13
  Speaker 25: going to start the kickoff celebration at a football game.
• 48:16
  Speaker 25: Pretty cool that we're able to break out the camo
• 48:18
  Speaker 25: uniforms as it kind of, I think, symbolizes what this
• 48:21
  Speaker 25: university stands for. Excited for that opportunity. And I think
• 48:25
  Speaker 25: just start with what I told the guys this morning.
• 48:27
  Speaker 25: I think when you're in a position where you're facing adversity,
• 48:31
  Speaker 25: where things aren't going the way that you hoped, the
• 48:34
  Speaker 25: only thing you can do is come together and work.
• 48:36
  Speaker 25: That's the only option you have. You've got to commit
• 48:38
  Speaker 25: to a process that's going to allow the results to
• 48:41
  Speaker 25: change somehow, some way. And so we can't want it
• 48:44
  Speaker 25: to happen. We can't talk about it happening. There's no
• 48:46
  Speaker 25: magic words. We've got to identify the issues and we've
• 48:49
  Speaker 25: got to go to attack it every single day. So
• 48:52
  Speaker 25: we had a good practice this morning. We had to
• 48:54
  Speaker 25: come out and have a great week of preparation and
• 48:56
  Speaker 25: then go out Saturday and perform at the level that
• 48:58
  Speaker 25: we know we're capable of.
• 49:00
  Speaker 8: Coach Elko also spoke about what he sees from this
• 49:03
  Speaker 8: year's Arkansas team ahead of the matchup and what the
• 49:06
  Speaker 8: program will be facing on Saturday night.
• 49:08
  Speaker 25: I think it's a team that's forming its identity with
• 49:10
  Speaker 25: a new staff. A lot of respect for Coach Silverfield
• 49:13
  Speaker 25: and what he's done. Ran a really, really strong program
• 49:16
  Speaker 25: at Memphis, obviously coming off of a really strong victory
• 49:19
  Speaker 25: last week. against a Tulsa team that had been playing
• 49:22
  Speaker 25: really good football. And so they're certainly going to come
• 49:24
  Speaker 25: in here now with a lot of confidence that they've
• 49:26
  Speaker 25: started to figure things out and are moving in a
• 49:28
  Speaker 25: direction they want to move. And so a team that's
• 49:31
  Speaker 25: going to give us an awful lot Saturday night, for sure.
• 49:33
  Speaker 8: As well as how this matchup has historically always seemed
• 49:36
  Speaker 8: to come down to the fourth quarter in the Mike
• 49:38
  Speaker 8: Elko era.
• 49:39
  Speaker 25: I've played six of them now and all six of
• 49:41
  Speaker 25: them have been that way. There's not one of the
• 49:44
  Speaker 25: six that I've played. We're five and one in it,
• 49:47
  Speaker 25: but we haven't every single one of them has been that,
• 49:50
  Speaker 25: you know, the first one I played in was, was
• 49:52
  Speaker 25: Donovan Wilson intercepting a ball to end the game on
• 49:54
  Speaker 25: the two minute drive to last year, the shootout going
• 49:58
  Speaker 25: back and forth to my first year as the head coach,
• 50:00
  Speaker 25: Nick Skirton getting the sack.
• 50:02
  Speaker 16: You know what I mean?
• 50:02
  Speaker 25: Like it's just, that to me is how this game
• 50:04
  Speaker 25: has consistently played out. And so I don't know that
• 50:08
  Speaker 25: you project what Saturday will look like or play like,
• 50:11
  Speaker 25: but certainly that's been my history with this series, an
• 50:14
  Speaker 25: extremely competitive game. They're a really good program. They have
• 50:18
  Speaker 25: gotten up for this game and always played really well
• 50:21
  Speaker 25: against us. And so I certainly don't anticipate that being
• 50:24
  Speaker 25: any different on Saturday.
• 50:26
  Speaker 8: Kickoff for the A & M versus Arkansas game is
• 50:29
  Speaker 8: set for 6 o'clock on Saturday night. In Monday Night Football,
• 50:33
  Speaker 8: last night the Chicago Bears hosted the Philadelphia Eagles and
• 50:36
  Speaker 8: beat the Eagles 27-7. Ahead of last night's game, Bears
• 50:41
  Speaker 8: defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, who is a former A &
• 50:44
  Speaker 8: M standout safety and coaching graduate assistant, met with the
• 50:47
  Speaker 8: media to talk about what the Bears defense needed to
• 50:50
  Speaker 8: work on ahead of the matchup.
• 50:51
  Speaker 21: We've got to do a better job executing. And making
• 50:54
  Speaker 21: sure that we're eliminating mental mistakes in terms of just
• 50:57
  Speaker 21: not being exactly where we need to be and when
• 50:59
  Speaker 21: we need to be there. I think that's a big focus.
• 51:03
  Speaker 21: There's a lot of areas that we have to improve.
• 51:05
  Speaker 21: I think we've got to do a better job controlling
• 51:07
  Speaker 21: the line of scrimmage, both in the run game and
• 51:09
  Speaker 21: the pass game. And so we're working to try to
• 51:12
  Speaker 21: improve those things this week.
• 51:13
  Speaker 8: And the Bears defense did just that in last night's
• 51:16
  Speaker 8: game against the Eagles, only allowing one touchdown. And following
• 51:20
  Speaker 8: the game, Coach Allen was awarded a game ball. The
• 51:24
  Speaker 8: Aggie volleyball team moved up two spots in the AVCA
• 51:27
  Speaker 8: poll rankings, moving the program to the 14th spot. Head
• 51:31
  Speaker 8: coach Jamie Morrison met with the media to discuss what's
• 51:34
  Speaker 8: been going on with the program in the last week
• 51:36
  Speaker 8: and the progress the team has been making.
• 51:38
  Speaker 5: I think I alluded to it last week that we
• 51:40
  Speaker 5: were banged up.
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: I think everyone saw the fruition of that.
• 51:42
  Speaker 15: But for the.
• 51:43
  Speaker 34: People that have stepped up to be able to step
• 51:44
  Speaker 34: up in the way they have, I think it's a
• 51:45
  Speaker 34: testament to our program and to the people that we
• 51:47
  Speaker 34: have in it.
• 51:47
  Speaker 5: So overall, excited about what has happened over the last
• 51:51
  Speaker 5: week and then excited about what's coming. The Aggies are.
• 51:53
  Speaker 8: Set to host Alabama for their second SEC Conference Game
• 51:57
  Speaker 8: of the Year on Friday night at Reed Arena with.
• 51:59
  Speaker 5: First serve set for 6.30.

• 52:14
  Speaker 35: Tech Tip. When's the last time you changed your air filter?
• 52:17
  Speaker 35: A clogged filter restricts airflow, makes your system work harder,
• 52:20
  Speaker 35: and drives up your energy bill, all while circulating dust
• 52:23
  Speaker 35: and allergens through your home. Most filters need to be
• 52:25
  Speaker 35: changed every one to three months. It's one of the

  Speaker 5: 1620-945-WTAWJ says, the first word I utter every morning is
• 54:18
  Speaker 5: a curse word when I step out of bed. All
• 54:20
  Speaker 5: my joints hurt. It's been a hard life. And then
• 54:22
  Speaker 5: the next sentence is, thank you, God, for a great life. Yes, Jay.
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: Yes, Jay. That's the Tucker method.
• 54:28
  Speaker 5: That is how I would summarize it. 100%, you nailed it,
• 54:32
  Speaker 5: my friend.
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: Some folks have that. Sean says about washing your mouth
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: out with soap. Nowadays, it would have to be a
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: squirt of liquid soap. Sean, obviously, you missed the segment
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: we did about bar soap, and there are a lot
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: of defenders of bar soap out there. Some people still
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: believe that it's... There are local craft bar soaps available.
• 54:51
  Speaker 5: Why have I not gone to... Have you been?
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: I have not been to that store yet.
• 54:55
  Speaker 5: I forget there's a store we need to still need
• 54:56
  Speaker 5: to check out for the bar soap experience. Martha texts in.

  Speaker 5: If it's early a.m., what others call in the middle

  Speaker 5: of the night, you come to a red light, you
• 55:05
  Speaker 5: look all ways, and you can just... Oh, never mind.
• 55:09
  Speaker 5: I already said your name. No, Martha. Martha would never do...
• 55:12

• 55:14
  Speaker 5: hands and go.
• 55:15
  Speaker 12: No.
