  Speaker 1: took his own life before authorities could enter the property.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Investigators say the victim and suspect knew each other, but
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: they have not specified the nature of their relationship. Law
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: enforcement in Austin have stopped what is described as a
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: violent plot to attack the state capitol. Fox's Jonathan Hunt
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: has the latest.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: According to Texas law enforcement officials, the attack was supposed
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: to happen today, but was stopped thanks to the joint
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: work of agents with the Texas Department of Public Safety
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: and the FBI, culminating with the arrest early Wednesday morning
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: of 40-year-old Benny Caldera at a home near San Antonio.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Officials say they got a tip Tuesday evening that gave them, quote,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: credible information about an individual planning a violent attack on
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: the Texas capital in Austin. The arrest warrant affidavit alleges
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Caldera told a friend, quote, I am going to the
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: capital and I am going to shoot it up. And
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: that Caldera was angry at the American-Israeli Public Affairs Committee, saying, quote,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: these people have to be exterminated.
• 1:30

• 1:58
  Speaker 1: & M. October 4th marks 150 years of service by
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Texas A & M University. It sounds like a joke,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: but there's talk of Texas annexing parts of New Mexico.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: And lawmakers are serious. West Texas Representative Brooks Landgraf says
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: it was actually their politicians who brought up the idea.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Those in eastern New Mexico feel like the state treats
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: them like a piggy bank because of their oil and
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: gas reserves.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: It's a region where it's exploited for its natural resources,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: and then the money is taken and spent elsewhere.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: The state AG's office says annexation would require approval from
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: both state legislatures and Congress. More news on the way

  Speaker 9: Defending trans Texas is something we have to do every day.
• 3:56
  Speaker 8: Tallarico supported using taxpayer dollars for sex change surgeries on
• 4:00
  Speaker 8: young children, claimed denying your child's gender identity is abusive,
• 4:05
  Speaker 8: said the trans community needs abortion care too, and even
• 4:08
  Speaker 8: called Jesus a radical feminist and said God is non-binary.
• 4:13
  Speaker 9: Defending trans Texas is something we have to do every day.
• 4:16
  Speaker 8: But it gets worse. James Tallarico voted to allow biological

  Speaker 8: men access to women's bathrooms in schools and for biological
• 4:24

  Speaker 3: phone number. Hit us up if you feel so inclined.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Always love hearing from you guys. Today, weather, 70% chance
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: of showers, maybe a thunderstorm. And then tomorrow, an 80% chance.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: It is going to be a wet weekend.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I hope so. I honestly hope so. We need it
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: like nobody's business.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we need to catch up. That's a great thing.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: But we're also going to be rewarded with temperatures not
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: getting out of the mid-80s. So that is also a
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: good thing. And we will enjoy it thoroughly. Weather is
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: brought to you by Malick Service Company and the Texas Heat.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Your air conditioner works overtime. But a well-tuned AC will
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: save you money and keep you comfortable. Turn to the
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: experts at Malik and Carrier to keep your AC running properly. Malik,
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: feel the difference. You were ordering some Amazon recently, I believe. Amazon,
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: you can get stuff. You can get a lot of
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: stuff at Amazon. It didn't used to be as fast
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: here as it is now.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: No, it's crazy. What was it I ordered this week? Oh,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: it was a replacement rug.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: It was rugs.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: For the Airbnb, there was one rug that I could
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: not locate in a store.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: I got– so two packages from Amazon showed up at
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: my house last night. Bathroom mirrors, like full-size bathroom mirrors.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: We're redoing one of them. And I asked my wife.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: I was like, hey, I thought we were talking about
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: mirrors last night. Did you– have you been thinking about
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: these for a while? I was like, no, I punched
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: them in last night.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: They're here this morning.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy. You've got to be joking.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: And that's kind of– for a lot of these products,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: it was probably for a few of them you could
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: do that. But like– My daughter would order stuff in Oxford, Mississippi,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: and she could get it. like same day or next day.
• 6:39
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: And I would order the same thing here and it
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: would take a week.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: That's what I mean. I got used to that week delay.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: And so I didn't really use it all that much
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: until I got to bigger cities where it's like you click,
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: you click submit and there's literally someone knocking on your
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: door or a drone crashing through your window to give
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: you the stuff that you just ordered. It's insane.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: It's a little spooky.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Um, that said, people talk about it like it's a
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: modern luxury and, um, They don't know anything about the
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: Sears catalog.
• 7:08
  Speaker 12: No.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Frankly, I don't know anything about the Sears catalog.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: I remember catalogs.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: I remember Sears. I don't know that I ever actually
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: saw a Sears catalog.
• 7:18
  Speaker 13: Oh, yeah.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: There were a couple of big catalogs out there, but
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Sears was a big one.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: What are the other ones that.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Well, first off... Western Auto, I think, had a catalog
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: that would come out. But there was... I mean, catalog
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: sales were a big thing.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Guys, if you don't... I do have some that I
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: want to bring up. And again, if you, and I'll
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: just throw this out there right now, if you grew
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: up in the 70s, 80s, or before, it was the 90s,
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: did you have a catalog that you looked forward to
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: getting every single time it dropped? Because I've got three,
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: and I will tell you what they are coming up.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: But the thing that was great about the Sears catalog
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: is you could buy, at some point, Literally anything.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: You could get a house.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: I looked at an old house that was assembled out
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: of a Sears catalog, an old K. It wasn't half
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: a million dollars, that bad boy.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Firearms. You could order firearms from the Sears catalog.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: You could order dynamite, apparently.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: You could, apparently, in the 1902 edition of the Sears catalog,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: you could order dynamite as a tool for removing tree stumps.
• 8:22
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: They claimed it to be excellent.
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: However, if you weren't familiar with handling dynamite, if you
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: just asked, they would mail you a booklet. Wait, wait, what?
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: It says if you're not familiar with handling dynamite, we
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: will on application mail a booklet giving full information.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: It seems like you'd send that anyway you'd preemptively drop
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: the booklet in the dynamite i.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Don't know maybe maybe people back in 1902 the people
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: that survived whatever dysentery was going around uh maybe they
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: there was a significant portion of them that were very
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: familiar with dynamite.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: It may have been like you know what times were
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: hard back then what's the worst that could happen It
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: seems like this is probably not the worst way you
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: could go. You know, something goes wrong. It's not exactly
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: a firework it's going to take. I mean, if dynamite goes,
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: you're going.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think you could use the same sort
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: of packaging, right? Because print was expensive, right? To print
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: things was very expensive. So you wanted to break down
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: the words, right? So you could just print on the
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: side of the dynamite, light fuse, get away.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Warning, dynamite. Get fast.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Get real fast. Real fast.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Bill texts in. He remembers a couple of catalogs that
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: have jumped out at him. First was the JCPenney's catalog.
• 9:40
  Speaker 15: Yes.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: That's a big one.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: The JCPenney's.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: I do remember the JCPenney's catalog. Also, service merchandise. I
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: remember we had a service merchandise.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I remember that.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: I will throw you one of mine. The East Bay catalog.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know the East Bay.
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: Oh!
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Well, okay, you're a little bit. older than me. East
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Bay Catalog, if you grew up in the 90s and
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: were male, this was your... It's one of a few
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: catalogs that was your ultimate thing because it was all
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: of the sports memorabilia and attire. Okay.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I never got into any of that.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: All of those starter jackets... you got them out of
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: the East Bay catalog, unless you just went to the mall.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: All of those, like Jordan's East Bay catalog. You know,
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: if you were playing basketball, any kind of, you know,
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: like gym attire, whatever, all of it came in. And seriously,
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: it showed up and you sat there and you're like, man,
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: I read that. I read that front to back. Now,
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: that was my second experiences with catalogs. I don't know
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: if it counts as a catalog.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: No, that does.
• 10:48
  Speaker 16: Oh, yeah.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: The Toys R Us insert.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: In the newspaper.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: In the newspaper.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Not a catalog. It's an advertisement. But same sort of feeling.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: I got the same. I got the same high from it.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: That's for sure.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Ari, no, it was the L.L. Bean catalog. Back when
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: they were.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: That's a good one.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Back when they were truly an outdoors.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: That's a good one.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that one I looked forward to.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: And the Montgomery Ward catalog.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: That's a good one.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a real good one.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: A few people have texted the Victoria Secrets. The Victoria
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Secret catalog was a... It was a catalog, but it
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: was a catalog that appealed to the women for the
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: merch and the men... for the not merch. Devious. But
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: it still counts.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: And yeah, that is one that always drew eyes. If

  Speaker 3: Oh, they did.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Jay, talking about all things companies like this, and we've
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: been mentioning the Montgomery Ward catalog.
• 15:06
  Speaker 25: Yeah.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: He said, I bought a pair of jeans and a
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: 30-30 rifle on the same day at the Montgomery Wards
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: at Manor East Mall. Rode my bike home with a
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: rifle on my shoulder, strapped on.
• 15:17
  Speaker 26: Yeah.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Even met a cop on the way home, and he
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: just waved.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I need to know what year that was.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Times have changed.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Times have changed, but that was, I know that Montgomery Wards,
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: I went there a time or two. I don't know
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: if it was that.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Era, though. Yeah, this one is big, though.
• 15:32
  Speaker 15: What do you got?
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: The Finger Hut.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: The what?
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: The Finger Hut.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: What is a Finger Hut?
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Well- Tucker, I had to go look it up because
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: I had no idea.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: I've never heard of that in my life.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Somewhere in 1948, William Fingerhut began sewing and selling automobile
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: seat covers out of a garage in Minneapolis.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: Stop it.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: His brother, Manny Fingerhut, a used car lot manager, recognized
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: the massive market potential in 49 years. Manny rented a
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: list of new car owners in Minnesota and mailed out
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: 100 promotional flyers. Holy cow. That catalog has gone on
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: to be a giant where you could order all kinds
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: of things. It has a 77-year history from a small
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: family garage project into America's second largest mail order catalog empire.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: And now it's e-commerce. It finally closed. It was e-commerce
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: finally closed on October 2nd, 2025. That's no concept. Crazy.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Never heard of it.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Never in my life, man. Man, that's a great.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: I was thinking maybe it was some bad cannibalistic pizza
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: hunt ripoff.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I was thinking like just overseas rot,
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: like promotional product. But before Timu was Timu. Anton says,
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: my first TV and VCR I bought for myself was
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: through the Montgomery Ward catalog. You ordered it, and then
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: you would pick it up at the store when it showed. Yeah, man,
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: made it real easy for you.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Eric, Crutchfield Audio.
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: Oh, God, Eric.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Add another one.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: You're right.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: I forgot all about Crutchfield. Do you have the Crutchfields?
• 17:15
  Speaker 15: Oh, yeah.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: I'd look through that and dream about things that my
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: father would never let me put in my Toyota station wagon.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Another one, Musician's Friend. Were you into the Musician's Friend?
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: I was not.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Okay, Musician's Friend was... Musician's Friend still exists. I think
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: it's just a website now. I don't think they have
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: a catalog. But that was... For a long time, I
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: got into guitar. I got into bass guitar. I got
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: into sound recording. I was into a lot of this
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: stuff anyway. Music and country and all these other things.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Figured I should learn how to play some of it.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: Musician's Friend was like a guitar center... In a catalog,
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: only the best guitarists in the area, any guitars that
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: you could only dream of would be in this. Just
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: look at it and dream.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: You know what's in the back of my mind right now?
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: And it's kind of amazing. See if you could follow
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: me here. You look at most online retailer websites.
• 18:05
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: And you think back to what the visual layout of
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: a catalog was. How many similarities?
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: It's very similar, Will. I mean, it's almost the same game.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: It's just one is accessible on your phone and one
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: is one you had to wait for in the mail.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: But here's the joy of it. Again, this is something
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: we'll never really understand is that if you're a kid
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: and you didn't experience it. the joy of that only
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: being available a couple of times a year.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: It would come in the mail or whatever.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: Maybe once a month, probably not. Once every quarter, usually.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Special Christmas edition, maybe.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: They drop one before the holidays, for sure. And then
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: it would end up in your mailbox, and that is
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: when you would start just losing your mind with cool
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: stuff that you.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Wanted to buy. Light bulb just went off.
• 18:50
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Neiman Marcus catalog.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: The Neiman Marcus.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: That Christmas edition, man. I'm surprised that.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: Has not been texted in.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, and one other. When you're on the airplane. No, no, no. SkyMall.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: The SkyMall. Before there were phones, y'all, you had to
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: read something.
• 19:06
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: And that something was SkyMall. And those.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: rental headphones that you got hurt your ears yeah they
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: were hard plastic.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: Just you just had to deal with it and read
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: sky mall and figure out if you could afford a
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: massage chair that was that was basically there are.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: All kinds of oh sharper image catalog that sharp sharper image.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: That they had stores in the mall but if you
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: didn't have one we didn't yeah you would have to
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: go by the catalog Let's see. What else do we have?
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: J.C.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Whitney is one a lot of people have texted in.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: I remember the name.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: Otto. It's another Otto part. It's worth Googling J.C. Whitney
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: because I just did because they do have old ads
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: from J.C.
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: Whitney.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, very cool.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: And it'll absolutely blow your mind. Basically, everything you need
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: to build a VW bug, you could order at one
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: point from this one ad that was in a J.C. Whitney.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Just absolutely crazy. Spiegel catalog.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Spiegel.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: I don't remember that one.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I remember the name, but I think that was a
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: women's catalog.
• 20:07
  Speaker 21: Man.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: Crazy. We got to move on because there's, you know,
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: I know people say, depending on who you talk to,
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: it can be somewhat controversial about whether or not Texas
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: is in a good place or a bad place right now.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: But I'll tell you this, regardless of what anyone says,
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: there ain't no shortage of people that are trying to
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: get here.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: Either move here from other states, talk about us in songs.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: If you're an Alabama girl, thanks, Ella. We appreciate it.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: We'll accept you. I feel like there's a draft card
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: open for Ella if she wants to make a switch.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: It sounds like she wants to.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: I think she wouldn't pass on the opportunity. Wouldn't surprise
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: me if she's got some property here already. That said,
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: it isn't just people. It's entire states or at least
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: portions of states.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: There is a story that New Mexico wants in.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the eastern part of New Mexico, the part that
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: pays for the rest of it. Yeah. You know, with
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: all their minerals and oil and so forth.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: That's important because there is a good part of New
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: Mexico and there's a bad part of New Mexico. And
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: the good part says they are eyeing that transfer portal.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: and uh seeing if they can make a business.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: That's because the i mean essentially those people are trapped
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: behind enemy lines yeah right true for sure so they
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: they some of their legislators have said hey texas would
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: you take us would you now here's the issue yes
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: of course i think texas would probably jump on the
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: opportunity uh however you have to have the approval of
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: both state legislatures and i know um That the combined
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: IQ of most of the state legislators in New Mexico
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: is going.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: To be three. They're never letting it go. They're never
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: letting it go.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: But they have enough common sense to go, hey, wait
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: a minute.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a bad, bad move.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Tourism in Santa Fe ain't going to pay for the
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: rest of it.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: No, no, no.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Your snow hasn't been good in years on ski slopes,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: so that's not going to pay for it.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Now, that said, would you, like, look at it as
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: a draft proposition. Would you draft New Mexico?
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Not the whole state.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: Not the whole state. Partial. If you can do partials,
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: is there any other part of the country that you
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: would draft onto the team?
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Very interesting question.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: Think about it. I've got a few. Some people are
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: going to say parts of Oklahoma. Absolutely not. No interest
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: in it. But you talk to me about Louisiana. Louisiana
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: might be a first-round pick for me. I'd take them. Now,
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: I might cut the state. I might.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: More like an occupied territory, maybe.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: You wouldn't give them the full ride?
• 22:43
  Speaker 10: No.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: I love my Cajuns.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: I am a Louisiana native, right? I still have family there. However,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: I am not accepting their politics. We got it bad
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: enough over here without what they got going on over there.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: And they would have to switch from calling them parishes
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: to counties, and they would never take that.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: And again, I don't think they have to touch. I
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: think you can, as long as you're playing a fantasy game,
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: you can be literally anywhere. I mean, I think we've
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: been trying to draft Colorado for years.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Frankly, in my mind. Yeah, and we've been trying to
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: take it over by assimilation. However, we've not infiltrated the government.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: And the problem is, once again You've got to take,
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: you know, contiguous You want it in a big block
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: Which means then you've got to take That might make
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: the New Mexico stock rise, Will Think about it.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: If you really think about it The old original state
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: lines of Texas Would not be a bad thing Because
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: we did own a significant part Of Colorado and New
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Mexico Give me.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: That little squiggly line And then Colorado at the top
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: It'd look really weird.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: But it makes sense to me I think, again, we
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: don't need we've got GPS now. We don't need square lines.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: We can we can figure it out.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: Another vote for Louisiana if they fix the roads.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: That would be the other thing.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: That's not happening.
• 24:00
  Speaker 21: It's time for the Texas Renaissance Festival. Over 400 artisans
• 24:04

• 24:29
  Speaker 3: Huzzah 16 20 94 5 wtaw by the way now
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: the people are starting to think think this through on
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: louisiana someone texted me is like you know this might
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: be genius Because we don't get full credit as members
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: of the South in Texas. We're something different. I'm not
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: going to debate that.
• 24:44
  Speaker 16: No, I agree.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: We are not.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: But if we got Louisiana, that's full Southern privileges, boy.
• 24:50
  Speaker 27: It is.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: We get the best of both worlds.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: But would you want... Yeah, I think.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: I'd take it. I mean, again, what's the bad side?
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: I'm just trying to think of other Southern states. Maybe Florida.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: Can I just take the Florida... Can I take the
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: Panama City... Can I cut it off at Tallahassee?
• 25:07
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: And then Everything else.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Obviously, the rules that we're making up as we go,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: that's acceptable.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: Interesting question. If it changes the state of Texas. What
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: are we all going to do with our original Texas tattoos?
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: Because I would be out of date. Me too. A
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: lot of us would be out of date if it
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: doesn't look the same. All of a sudden, we take
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: a different map, and it's like.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Well, no, you just get more. So you have the
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: original and then the new model. You could even go
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: back and get some of the historical maps of Texas
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: and Texas over time.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: Now we're talking.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Have a whole theme.
• 25:39

• 25:49
  Speaker 3: That's pretty good. Pretty good. 80% chance tomorrow. An 80%
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: chance tomorrow night. Temps only getting out of the mid-80s
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: all weekend long. Weather's brought to you by United Roofing

  Speaker 3: Bill O'Reilly here, and I'm warming up.
• 26:11
  Speaker 10: Stand by for the O'Reilly Update Morning Edition.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: But first.
• 26:16
  Speaker 10: When you need medications, you don't have any time to
• 26:18
  Speaker 10: fool around.
• 26:19
  Speaker 20: You know that.
• 26:20
  Speaker 10: Whether it's for allergies, the flu, daily prescriptions, having what
• 26:24
  Speaker 10: you need on hand in the house is a must.
• 26:30

• 26:51
  Speaker 10: them 561-717-6794, 561-717-6794. On this Friday, I'm thinking about the
• 27:00
  Speaker 10: importance of knowing how to reach your elected officials. Do
• 27:05
  Speaker 10: you realize the majority of Americans do not even know
• 27:09
  Speaker 10: who their congressperson is? Well, every American, should have that
• 27:15
  Speaker 10: name and email address for their congresspeople.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: This is crucial.
• 27:22
  Speaker 10: I hear a lot of frustration from folks asking me,
• 27:25
  Speaker 10: why aren't they, those on Capitol Hill, doing anything? Well,
• 27:29
  Speaker 10: you should ask them directly. Your representatives have offices where
• 27:35
  Speaker 10: you live. They are in your district.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Make an appointment.
• 27:41
  Speaker 10: Email them.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: Whatever.
• 27:44
  Speaker 10: And if anybody's disrespectful to you, you let me know
• 27:48
  Speaker 10: right away. Now, most Americans have no clue how to
• 27:51
  Speaker 10: reach their elected officials. Some don't even know what they're
• 27:56
  Speaker 10: doing at all or don't care what they're doing. That
• 28:00
  Speaker 10: is not a smart move. A survey from Gallup finds
• 28:06
  Speaker 10: that congresspeople are mysterious to most Americans. Even worse. The
• 28:12
  Speaker 10: incumbency rate in the House, 97%. That means just 3%
• 28:18
  Speaker 10: of people who challenge the sitting congressperson win. Again, if
• 28:24
  Speaker 10: you have a problem getting to your congresspeople, let me know.
• 28:29
  Speaker 10: Back in a moment. Thieves are using AI to steal
• 28:33
  Speaker 10: from you with forged paperwork and a signature. They can
• 28:39
  Speaker 10: claim control of your property on record. then take out
• 28:42

• 39:38
  Speaker 3: thought that this text was a joke because, and I
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: should credit the gentleman who sent this. This is Jason.
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: Jason texted the Jay Peterman catalog.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, that's hilarious, that Seinfeld thing.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: And I was like, yeah, that was great. And then
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: I kept reading. A real-life catalog that became a character
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: in the Seinfeld TV show. And I thought to myself... Real?
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: Wait a minute, it's real. And Jason was good enough
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: to send us a... If you click that link right there, Will.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that one?
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah. He was good enough to send us a old
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: vintage ad from Jay Peterman and said... Will should read
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: this catalog word for word on air, this ad.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: He's got the Jay Peterman voice already for it. I
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: would love to hear. So again, before you get started,

  Speaker 3: I need to mention again, this is real. This is
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: an actual ad from a catalog, the Jay Peterman catalog.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: And it's gold, Jerry. I was browsing at a Paris
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: antique shop one winter afternoon. when a fitted leather train
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: case caught my eye. It contained silver-handled brushes, boot hooks,
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: a straight razor, several silver-tipped glass bottles. One bottle was different,
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: encased in yew wood, with a handwritten date, 1903. Inside
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: the bottle, there was still the faint aroma of a
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: gentleman's cologne, custom-made for a rich traveler a century ago.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: Curiosity was eating at me. I bought the case and
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: sent the bottle to a laboratory for analysis. They broke
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: down the residue by gas chromatography stuff. Identified its fingerprint
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: through spectrophilometry stuff.
• 41:28
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: The report said, an old woody foguere, clean citrus notes,
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: bugamot green notes, the middle notes, clary sage, cardamom, the
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: dry down leather notes, smoky labdamon, ilamai, tabac, frankincense the

  Speaker 1: detective work was impressive so is the thing itself women
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: like the way it smells on a man like a
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: symphony that begins loudly then soon slides into subtle subtle
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: entangling developments that grow on them or so i've been.
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: Told Try to get that type of a sales pitch
• 42:05

  Speaker 28: A high-powered lawyer once approached author and speaker Dr. Robert
• 43:13
  Speaker 28: Lewis and told him, My son hates my guts. The
• 43:17
  Speaker 28: dad wanted to heal his relationship with his son, but
• 43:20
  Speaker 28: he believed it was too late. By the time they
• 43:23
  Speaker 28: finished their conversation, Dr. Lewis had changed the dad's mind.
• 43:27
  Speaker 28: It's never too late to reconcile with your child. This
• 43:30
  Speaker 28: father was so hopeful, he headed from the conversation straight
• 43:33
  Speaker 28: to the airport and took a flight to have a
• 43:36
  Speaker 28: meeting with his son face-to-face. When the dad got to town,
• 43:39
  Speaker 28: he and his son met for dinner. The father looked
• 43:41
  Speaker 28: his son in the eye and said, I've made a
• 43:44
  Speaker 28: lot of mistakes with you as a dad, and I'm sorry.
• 43:47
  Speaker 28: Will you forgive me? The son, now a grown man,
• 43:49
  Speaker 28: started weeping. His hate melted away, and he and his
• 43:53
  Speaker 28: father spent the next couple of hours reconnecting. That night,
• 43:57
  Speaker 28: the son called home and said, Mom... I just had
• 43:59
  Speaker 28: the greatest moment of my life with Dad. You may
• 44:02
  Speaker 28: be like that attorney. Your relationship with one of your
• 44:05
  Speaker 28: children is broken, and you think it's too late to
• 44:08
  Speaker 28: repair the damage. I want to encourage you that it's not,
• 44:12
  Speaker 28: but there is a catch. Your child will need one
• 44:14
  Speaker 28: very important thing from you, the humility to say I'm
• 44:18
  Speaker 28: sorry and to seek forgiveness. Your humility may not erase
• 44:23
  Speaker 28: every deep wound, but it's a key to help you
• 44:26
  Speaker 28: open the door to your child's heart. If you've had
• 44:29
  Speaker 28: a rough road with your child, don't focus on the regrets. Instead,
• 44:33
  Speaker 28: focus on the humility that can smooth it out from here.

  Speaker 1: The following is not an actor, but a real-life story
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: from Trinity Debt Management.
• 44:46
  Speaker 7: Every day I speak with people who are worried and
• 44:48
  Speaker 7: are feeling a lot of pressure because of credit card debt.
• 44:52
  Speaker 7: That's why I'm very proud of what we do at Trinity.

  Speaker 7: We just help. We give people the support they need
• 44:58
  Speaker 7: along with a real plan to become debt-free. Credit card
• 45:02
  Speaker 7: bills are consolidated into a single monthly payment that is
• 45:06
  Speaker 7: much less than what they were paying before. Most of
• 45:09
  Speaker 7: our members end up saving thousands. and even may improve
• 45:13
  Speaker 7: their credit scores by as much as 200 points. I
• 45:16
  Speaker 7: know from the bottom of my heart that I'm making
• 45:19
  Speaker 7: a difference in the lives of the people we help.
• 45:22

• 45:40
  Speaker 16: We're told that school vouchers are about choice. But in
• 45:42
  Speaker 16: House District 14, is it a choice for you or
• 45:45
  Speaker 16: a payday for the politician? Representative Dyson pushed for vouchers
• 45:48
  Speaker 16: while serving as vice chair of a private school board.
• 45:51
  Speaker 30: That's not choice.
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: That's conflict of interest.
• 45:53
  Speaker 16: Why is he using your tax dollars to fund the
• 45:55
  Speaker 16: very school he helps run? I'm Janet Dudding. I believe
• 45:58
  Speaker 16: in integrity, not insider deals. It's time for a representative

  Speaker 11: a huge event. for this university and honored that they're

• 47:09
  Speaker 11: Pretty cool that we're able to break out the camo

• 47:15
  Speaker 11: university stands for. And so excited for that opportunity. And
• 47:18
  Speaker 11: I think just start with what I told the guys
• 47:20
  Speaker 11: this morning. I think when you're in a position where
• 47:23
  Speaker 11: you're facing adversity, where things aren't going the way that
• 47:26
  Speaker 11: you hoped, The only thing you can do is come
• 47:28
  Speaker 11: together and work. That's the only option you have. You've
• 47:31
  Speaker 11: got to commit to a process that's going to allow
• 47:34
  Speaker 11: the results to change somehow, some way. And so we
• 47:37
  Speaker 11: can't want it to happen. We can't talk about it happening.
• 47:39
  Speaker 11: There's no magic words. We've got to identify the issues
• 47:42
  Speaker 11: and we've got to go to attack it every single day.

  Speaker 34: Coach Elko also spoke about the challenges the Aggies are
• 47:48
  Speaker 34: preparing for ahead of taking on Arkansas.
• 47:51
  Speaker 11: I think it's a team that's forming its identity with
• 47:53
  Speaker 11: a new staff. A lot of respect for Coach Silverfield
• 47:55
  Speaker 11: and what he's done. Ran a really, really strong program
• 47:58
  Speaker 11: at Memphis, obviously coming off of a really strong victory
• 48:02
  Speaker 11: last week against a Tulsa team that had been playing
• 48:04
  Speaker 11: really good football. And so they're certainly going to come
• 48:06
  Speaker 11: in here now with a lot of confidence that they've
• 48:09
  Speaker 11: started to figure things out and are moving in a
• 48:11
  Speaker 11: direction they want to move.
• 48:12

• 49:13
  Speaker 35: take some next steps. And just when we have these matches,
• 49:15
  Speaker 35: that's what I treated as chances for us to, I
• 49:17
  Speaker 35: don't know, improve what we've been working on throughout the week.
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: So it's interesting because we had all these, I don't know, injuries.
• 49:22
  Speaker 35: Everyone was a little nicked up, but I actually feel
• 49:23
  Speaker 35: like once we get everyone back, we're in a really
• 49:25
  Speaker 35: good spot. And I just talked about October being the
• 49:29
  Speaker 35: time where I want us to push. And the little
• 49:31
  Speaker 35: bit of that rest was for that reason that it's
• 49:33
  Speaker 35: time to put the pedal to the metal right now
• 49:35
  Speaker 35: and keep improving as we're going. So Yesterday was good.
• 49:37
  Speaker 35: It was really dialed in, really focused. But as the
• 49:40
  Speaker 35: kind of rust came off about 25 minutes in, the
• 49:42

• 50:03
  Speaker 34: the Aggies decided to move the scrimmage.
• 50:06
  Speaker 33: We went ahead and made the decision to cancel tomorrow's
• 50:08
  Speaker 33: scrimmage just with the weather and the unknown and with
• 50:10
  Speaker 33: it being a scrimmage. And the other part that made
• 50:12
  Speaker 33: it easy is we're going to be able to play
• 50:14
  Speaker 33: the following Friday against Rice, same time, same place. So
• 50:17
  Speaker 33: that just made the decision a little bit easier. And

• 50:22

• 53:07
  Speaker 3: finally happened. Well, I guess it's probably happened before. Up in,
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: I don't know where, I think it was up in
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: the Dallas area, this dude found $ 128, 000 on top of
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: an ATM. This is crazy.
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: Here, I'm going to just play the audio. Yeah, do that.
• 53:20
  Speaker 31: Buying that kind of money or that amount of money
• 53:22
  Speaker 31: is certainly rare.
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: That's very unusual. Am I reading this correctly?
• 53:26
  Speaker 31: Somebody found $ 128, 000. Which officer has it?
• 53:28
  Speaker 36: I've never had a case like this before. There was
• 53:30
  Speaker 36: no indication of a crime occurring. It looked like it
• 53:33
  Speaker 36: was just left there by accident.
• 53:34
  Speaker 31: He just thinks it's the right thing to do and
• 53:36
  Speaker 31: doesn't think it goes beyond that.
• 53:38
  Speaker 36: I've had cases where Good Samaritans have turned in property
• 53:41
  Speaker 36: that they found, wallets, IDs, things like that. But in
• 53:45
  Speaker 36: the case of $ 128, 000, I've never had somebody turn in
• 53:48
  Speaker 36: that kind of money before.
• 53:51
  Speaker 6: $ 128, 514.
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: And it wasn't drug money this time. It was not
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: drug money.
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: It literally fell out of the back of a Brinks truck.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: A 37-year-old local barber went to the Bank of America
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: ATM on West Main Street in Louisville, Tennessee.
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: Get out of here.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: Lewisville, I guess they call it there, to make a withdrawal. Instead,
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: he found an unattended bag. So here's what happened. He
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: picked it up, looked at the Chick-fil-A across the parking lot,
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: thought maybe that's theirs.
• 54:19
  Speaker 28: Oh.
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: So he walked in the Chick-fil-A. I was thinking to myself, man,
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: that's a whole lot of income for a Chick-fil-A on
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: a day. I mean.
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: So he asked, he walked into Chick-fil-A and said, is
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: this $ 428, 000?
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: Manager said, no, not us. He called 911.
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: Wow, that's two people who have done the same thing.
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: Investigators determined, here's where things are going to get rough
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: for somebody. The cash belonged to Bank of America, had
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: been left behind accidentally by a Brinks technician who had
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: just serviced the ATM.
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: You could have run, dude. You could have run with it.
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: You could have got away with it. You know what
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: he probably thought to be sitting on top and he
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: was around the area? He probably thought he was.
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, bait.
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: But not necessarily even cops. It could be an influencer.
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: It could be someone trying to... It could be John
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: Quinones trying to see if he'll do the right thing.
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: Probably the Chick-fil-A guy thought the same thing.
• 55:08
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: The guy walks in, hey, is.
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: This your $ 128, 000? Where's the hidden cameras?
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: Oh, my goodness.
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: That is pretty crazy.
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, he probably made the right decision.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. No, no.
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: Not because it's right. Because ACMs have cameras, too. They
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: would have figured it out.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: Hey, what are you saying? The finder's keeper's defense does
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: not work here?
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: You owe that man a finder's fee.
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would think so.
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: You owe that man a substantial final fee.
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: Start a GoFundMe for him.
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: I think Bank of America can afford it.
• 55:39
  Speaker 11: I think.
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: Just an inkling.
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: I got an inkling as well that they're not going to.
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: All right, we're going to talk SEC football or pick
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: them for this week coming up after news. Stick around
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: for that. We're 16-20, 94-5, WTAW College Station.
