  Speaker 1: threats during telephone conversations while in custody. Investigators determined the

  Speaker 1: Collins was also charged with retaliation. He is being held

• 1:07
  Speaker 3: And we're bringing out a lot of oil for ourselves,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: a lot. It will become a prosperous country, and who knows,
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: maybe someday soon it will become a prosperous 51st state.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: That's possible.
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: Let's make it.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Let's make it the 51st state, and instead of a president,
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: we'll have an election for a governor.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: How about that?
• 1:29
  Speaker 6: You know?
• 1:32
  Speaker 7: They have a lot of oil.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: The U.S.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Military captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in January and brought
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: him to the U.S. to face criminal charges. A judge

• 1:49
  Speaker 8: The Democrat judge issued a temporary restraining order that requires

  Speaker 8: Abbott to give Democrat candidate Gina Hinojosa all unredacted phone
• 1:57
  Speaker 8: calls and text messages between him and Musk.
• 2:00
  Speaker 9: He denied these, saying they were, quote, intimate and embarrassing.
• 2:04
  Speaker 8: Hinojosa accuses Abbott of selling Texas out to an oligarch.
• 2:08
  Speaker 9: We know he redirected a $ 100 million broadband contract to

  Speaker 1: border with Mexico as a way to stop illegal immigration.
• 2:34
  Speaker 10: Homeland Security has approved the weapon, which blasts an intense
• 2:37
  Speaker 10: beam of light that can make it feel like your
• 2:39
  Speaker 10: skin is burning.
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: This actually disables the groups coming through at the same time,
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: giving the agents enough time to respond.
• 2:45
  Speaker 10: Former Border Patrol agent Art Del Cuerto says it can
• 2:49
  Speaker 10: be used at a distance, keeping our forces safe. High-ranking

• 2:55
  Speaker 10: the border is now a battle lab for testing new

  Speaker 7: 1620-945-WTAW, the Infomaniacs, on a Wednesday. Foggy, foggy, foggy Wednesday.
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: As Will mentioned before we got into news, they're going
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: to extend that dense fog advisory until 9 o'clock. Hopefully
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: it'll burn off by then. But when we say dense,
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: we mean pretty dense. And that is obviously wreaking havoc
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: on traffic all over the place as people try to
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: move around today. So be careful if you're moving and
• 4:11
  Speaker 7: trying to get where you're going. Later on today, 30%
• 4:14
  Speaker 7: to 40% chance of rain highs in the low 80s,
• 4:17
  Speaker 7: and then down to the 60s tonight. Weather's brought to
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: you by Malik. Be prepared for your next power outage
• 4:22
  Speaker 7: with Malik Service Company and a whole home backup generator
• 4:25
  Speaker 7: from Generac. Call Malik. Schedule your appointment today. We briefly
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: mentioned the emerging crisis yesterday when it comes to the
• 4:36
  Speaker 7: foldable iPhone and the fact that that sucker... Tends to break.
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: It's surprising to no one.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they said out of the box there was actually
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: some of them that broke the minute you picked it up.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: And Apple did say that they were aware of a
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: handful of issues, right?
• 4:56
  Speaker 7: A handful of issues. Now, keep in mind, there's only
• 4:58
  Speaker 7: a handful of these phones that are out there right now.
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: But there was an interesting piece from some dude on
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: YouTube or a blogger or whatever.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a tech YouTuber.
• 5:09
  Speaker 7: He tried to figure out, okay, how long will it
• 5:14
  Speaker 7: take until this foldable iPhone, which, again, I'm sorry. If
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: you pay $ 2, 000 for an iPhone that folds and the
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: screen breaks, that is on YouTube.
• 5:27
  Speaker 12: It is.
• 5:28
  Speaker 7: That is not good. Anyone knows that's not going to
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: work well.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Any foldable screen on a device has a failure point.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: They say that the Android models, right, Samsung, there's a
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: couple others out there.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: That's true.
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: I've never seen one of those in the wild, but
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: they do exist.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: They say in similar tests, they routinely... survived past 400,000 folds.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: 400,000 folds.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Samsung officially rates Galaxy Z Flip and Z Fold for 500,000.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Holy cow. So apparently on.
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: This guy, folds 75,001, it cracked the screen.
• 6:01
  Speaker 13: 75,001?
• 6:01
  Speaker 14: Yes.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: So it goes to 70, so first of all, not
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: as good as 500,000. Not near.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: How long is that going to last? 75,000?
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: I have no idea. I think we have the guy.
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: Give me two seconds. I feel like we had a
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: clip from this guy somewhere. And I'm just going to
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: hope against hope that this is answered somewhere within. Because
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: it's not... Big number. I just need to know how
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: long this is going.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: To last, where it falls apart.
• 6:34
  Speaker 15: After 75,000 falls.
• 6:35
  Speaker 16: Right.
• 6:36
  Speaker 15: If you'd fold this 50 times a day, that would
• 6:39
  Speaker 15: be four years? A bit more than four years.
• 6:42
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 6:42
  Speaker 15: Because many years ago on this channel, we did this
• 6:45
  Speaker 15: experiment with a Samsung Flip 3 at first and then
• 6:49
  Speaker 15: a Samsung Flip 5. And it survived more than 400,000 falls.
• 6:56
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Sweet.
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: So now we know. It's about four years if you only...
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: We're going to open it more than 50 times a day.
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: I'm sorry. You know how people are with their phones?
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: You tell me you're going to get 50 flips a day?
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: And we all know that there's planned obsolescence built into
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: these devices.
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: Right around three or four years, too. It seems like that's.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Always the point. That's what they plan them for.
• 7:16
  Speaker 7: But they said, again, he goes on to say, like,
• 7:19
  Speaker 7: that's in theory. The fact that they're breaking out of
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: the box, there might be a big window in between. Like,
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: if you can just get it to not break in
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: the first five minutes you own it, you might be
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: good for three or four years.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Maybe.
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: Which will be.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Ironically, he just got tied by a new one.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: In his previous studies of how many licks does it
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Tootsie Pop?
• 7:44
  Speaker 17: One.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: The world will never know.
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: Three.
• 7:49
  Speaker 18: Representative Dyson has the endorsement. He has the big donor money.
• 7:53
  Speaker 18: He has the applause from the top. But does he
• 7:55
  Speaker 18: have a plan for your grocery bill? While the donors
• 7:57
  Speaker 18: are happy, families in Brazos County are struggling with gas
• 8:00
  Speaker 18: prices and the cost of living. Why is he more
• 8:03
  Speaker 18: focused on pleasing the power players? than the parent in
• 8:06
  Speaker 18: Bryan College Station. I'm Janet Dudding. I'm not running for
• 8:09
  Speaker 18: the donors. I'm running for you. Let's put families over funders.

  Speaker 20: Hi, I'm Peyton Holt. I'm running for College Station City Council,
• 8:53
  Speaker 20: Place 5. I'm a College Station attorney, small business owner,
• 8:57
  Speaker 20: and Pebble Creek resident. My career in business and real
• 8:59
  Speaker 20: estate law has taught me the importance of planning, accountability,
• 9:03
  Speaker 20: and getting things done. My first priority is simple. Public
• 9:06
  Speaker 20: safety comes first. I'm proud to be endorsed by the
• 9:09
  Speaker 20: College Station Police Officers Association and the College Station Firefighters.
• 9:14
  Speaker 20: As our city grows, we need intentional, disciplined leadership. That
• 9:18
  Speaker 20: means fixing roads, easing traffic, planning ahead for water drainage
• 9:22
  Speaker 20: and infrastructure. It means responsible budgets, holding the line on taxes,
• 9:27
  Speaker 20: demanding transparency for every taxpayer dollar, supporting local businesses, creating opportunities,
• 9:32
  Speaker 20: and cutting unnecessary red tape. Let's protect what makes College
• 9:36
  Speaker 20: Station special while building a stronger future for our families
• 9:39
  Speaker 20: and businesses. I'm Peyton Holt, City Council Place 5, for

  Speaker 7: 1620-945-WTAW. Good morning, guys, infomaniacs. Call us, text us, anytime, 979-695-1620.
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: Adam echoes via text. He's not heard anyone having screen
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: issues with the Samsung flippy, foldy smartphones either, which, again,
• 11:09
  Speaker 7: I've just never seen anyone buy one.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: I don't want one.
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: It seems like something that, again, it should break. Like,
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: that's something that's, wow, that obviously is going to be
• 11:21
  Speaker 7: a problem very soon. This thing's costing like as much
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: as a computer. I don't want any part of that.
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: It's a bad idea.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: I think it is, but there's others you can't convince
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: of that.
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: Let's talk about another bad idea, living in a sewer.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Did you see this? I kind of, I saw the headline.
• 11:36
  Speaker 7: Baltimore County mother says man living underground harasses her children.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Is he in clown makeup?
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: That's a wheel float too. Baltimore County mother says she's
• 11:46
  Speaker 7: concerned for her children's safety after a man living in
• 11:49
  Speaker 7: a sewer near her home allegedly harassed the kids and
• 11:54
  Speaker 7: chased them down the street. That seems like a police issue.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Immediately.
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: So she says... She initially did not believe her children
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: when they told her a man underground had been talking
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: to them from the sewer. It's literally Pennywise. That's actually
• 12:12
  Speaker 7: the clown.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: But as a parent, you know, if your kid of
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: a certain age comes in and says, hey, somebody's talking
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: to me from the sewer.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know. It would warrant further investigation.
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: So she didn't believe the kids that there's a guy
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: living in the sewer and actively talking to them. But
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: it's a Friday and her daughter, who is 21, called
• 12:38
  Speaker 7: and she was panicking. I said, what's wrong? She said, mom,
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: I'm scared. The man told me I can't walk right
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: here and just to dip. I was like, what man?
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: And she was like, the man in the sewer.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Oh my God.
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: So again, the 21-year-old has said that the sewer man
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: is a problem.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: A little more believable than perhaps the child with a
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: vivid imagination.
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: So mom decides to, at this point, after hearing four
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: different complaints about this from her kids, finally decided.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: To look up from her phone and do something about it?
• 13:13
  Speaker 7: Yeah, maybe I should put down a candy crush, go
• 13:14
  Speaker 7: check this thing out.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: So she goes outside. She goes over to the, and
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: I quote, little manhole sewer thing, and I hear somebody singing.
• 13:25
  Speaker 7: And I think, yo, this is unbelievable. So I'm like, yo, yo.
• 13:28
  Speaker 7: And he's like, what? And I'm like, leave my kids alone.
• 13:32
  Speaker 7: And he said, no, tell them to leave me alone.
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: And I said, they can't possibly be messing with you.
• 13:39
  Speaker 7: You are in the sewer.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Was there any point in time during this... That anybody
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: who was of an adult range or maybe a teenager
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: range thought, maybe it's the Ninja Turtles.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's Michelangelo.
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: You're dang right, Will. That's exactly. You're going to ask
• 13:58
  Speaker 7: for a few. I'm going to ask for a few questions.
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: Question number one.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Clown makeup.
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: Do I see clown makeup? Is there a red balloon?
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: Was I told that I would float too?
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: Any of those things?
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: Bad.
• 14:11
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: If.
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: I asked, would you like some pizza? And he responded, cowabunga, dude.
• 14:18
  Speaker 7: Or if it was a rat that was trying to
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: teach me the martial arts.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: These are context clues.
• 14:25
  Speaker 7: I might hurt you.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: How did this turn out? How did this turn out?
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: You know what? I'm not sure. I'm not sure that
• 14:36
  Speaker 7: anything has actually been done.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Well, you could always just wait for the rainy season.
• 14:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah, maybe it'll wash him away. She called the city.
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: And she said that the city did take action. They
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: put a no trespassing sign on top of the sewer.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: It is the first step, really. For the city to
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: be able to charge somebody with trespassing, it has to
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: be posted.
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: Shouldn't you put it on the inside of the... He's
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: already there.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Can you afford more than one sign?
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: Because.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: It's going to be other locations. It's just like a
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: pile of ants. You get the guy out of this sewer,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: he's going to move to the next one.
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: Yeah, just going to head on down.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: When you poison the ants in your yard, they move
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: to your neighbor.
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: Just right down the way, man. Again, the common theme
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: of the show today is just, what are we doing?
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: What are we doing?
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: What are we doing? Talk news that's coming up.
• 15:34
  Speaker 23: This is Today in Texas History brought to you by
• 15:36
  Speaker 23: the Museum of the American G.I.
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: On this day, October the 28th in 1967, President Lyndon B.
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: Johnson and Mexican President Gustavo Diaz formally settled the so-called
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: Chamazal dispute by agreeing that Mexico should receive 7.8 acres
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: of the Ponce de Leon land grant. The dispute between
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: Mexico and the United States involved about 600 acres at
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: El Paso between the bed of the Rio Grande as
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: surveyed in 1852 and the present channel of the river.
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: The Treaty of 1848 and the Treaty of 1884 had
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: specified that the boundary between the two nations should be
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: down the middle of the river along the deepest channel,
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: regardless of any alterations in the banks or channel. By 1873,
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: alterations in the river's course had carved out a 600-acre
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: tract known as the Chamazal that became de facto U.S.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Territory.
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: In 1895, however, Mexico argued that the boundary had never
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: changed and that the Chamazal was therefore technically Mexican territory.
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: In 1911, the International Boundary Commission proposed dividing the disputed territory,
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: but the U.S.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Rejected the proposal.
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: The dispute continued until President John F. Kennedy agreed to settle.
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: In January 1963, the United States and Mexico ratified a
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: treaty that generally followed the 1911 arbitration recommendations, a small
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: portion of the Ponce de Leon grant that changed hands
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: in 1967. officially ended the dispute.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: I bet you didn't know that.

  Speaker 28: the economy rebounded somewhat in October as gas prices fell modestly.
• 21:00
  Speaker 28: though it remains much more expensive to fill up a
• 21:02
  Speaker 28: tank than last year at this time. The conference board
• 21:05
  Speaker 28: said its Consumer Confidence Index rose 7.5 points to 91.7
• 21:10
  Speaker 28: in October, which is up from 84.2 last month. President
• 21:14
  Speaker 28: Trump has reiterated his claim that the Iran war will
• 21:17
  Speaker 28: end whenever he wants it to. His statement comes as
• 21:20
  Speaker 28: a report from The Hill revealed that the costs of
• 21:22
  Speaker 28: the Iran conflict has ballooned to $ 47 billion. The war
• 21:27
  Speaker 28: is costing American families roughly $ 2, 000 more since it started.
• 21:31
  Speaker 28: Energy Secretary Chris Wright said the U.S. could allow more

  Speaker 28: Russian diesel shipments depending on Moscow's actions. President Trump struck

  Speaker 2: I think so.

  Speaker 29: Man, I miss playing football.
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: Ever since I turned 40, I just can't find that
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: fire I used to have.
• 22:04
  Speaker 29: Think it could be lower testosterone?
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: What do you mean?
• 22:06
  Speaker 29: I was feeling the same way. After 40, the body
• 22:08
  Speaker 29: has less testosterone, and men lose their edge. That's why
• 22:10
  Speaker 29: I take Nugenics Total T2. That's the testosterone booster, right? Yes,
• 22:13
  Speaker 29: but Total T2 is their brand new formula that skyrockets
• 22:16
  Speaker 29: nitric oxide levels in as little as three hours. Since

• 26:41
  Speaker 13: a court system that works for the people it serves.
• 26:44
  Speaker 13: Blacklock has called for reducing unnecessary delays and expenses, simplifying
• 26:49
  Speaker 13: court procedures, and making legal services more affordable. because a
• 26:53
  Speaker 13: case should be decided on the facts and the law,
• 26:56
  Speaker 13: not on who can afford the longest fight. Texas courts
• 26:59
  Speaker 13: belong to the people. That means judges should be accountable,
• 27:03
  Speaker 13: rules should be clear, and the system should be accessible
• 27:06
  Speaker 13: to those who rely on it. For Blacklock, equal justice
• 27:09
  Speaker 13: means more than a principle. It means a court system

  Speaker 1: Good morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm Will Welch. A
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Grimes County jury sentenced a man to life in prison
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday for repeated sexual assault of a child. The
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: allegations first came to light in October of last year
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: when the now 14-year-old boy came forward and reported the abuse.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: College Station Police took the report and referred the case
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: to Navasota Police, where the majority of the assaults took place.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Investigators say the abuse dates back to 2015 when the
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: child was only five years old. Sebastian Domingo claimed the
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: victim initiated the incidents and blamed drug use for his
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: poor decisions. Continuous sexual abuse of a child is a
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: first-degree felony, carrying a punishment of 25 to 99 years
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: or life in prison with no possibility of parole. This
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: offense requires the state to prove the defendant sexually abused
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: the victim at least twice while under 14 years of
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: age over at least a 30-day period. The jury returned
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: a guilty verdict in under 20 minutes last week. On Tuesday,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: the jury deliberated briefly before sentencing Domingo to life in prison.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Sebastian Domingo is in the custody of the Grimes County Jail.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: awaiting transfer to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Grimes
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: County Assistant D.A. Tammy Thomas said the jury saw the evidence,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: convicted him, and now have made sure he will never
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: have the chance to hurt another child. Three people were
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: arrested in Bryan after a traffic stop led to the
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: discovery of methamphetamine, marijuana, and a THC vape. Bryan Police

  Speaker 5: he said, we're going to get the money back and
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: then some. Well, the loan came due July, and it
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: wasn't paid back. When taxpayer money is on the line,
• 32:48

• 34:19
  Speaker 4: you guys were caught in the middle of that poor
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: raccoon as a guy.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, so it's confirmed now that it was a raccoon.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: We have that from our executive.
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: That's the only information I got.
• 34:29
  Speaker 7: You know, that is a bad day to be a raccoon.
• 34:32
  Speaker 7: That's a bad day to be a raccoon.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: Didn't even get any seasoning on it.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: It was out that night. I mean, that's what raccoons do.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's... I mean, they're nocturnal, so.
• 34:38
  Speaker 7: That's true, yeah. But just, man... I'll tell you this.

• 34:55
  Speaker 7: send it to Malik.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: Get one.
• 34:56
  Speaker 7: Because what we have up there might need a little refresher.
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah.

  Speaker 2: A little tune-up.
• 35:01

  Speaker 4: it make a good progress absolutely just got a little
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: recovery from a broken hip it had to be replaced
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: and so it wasn't planned at all it was totally unplanned.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: But hey Did you get a good warranty on that?
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: You have another experience in life.
• 35:33
  Speaker 7: Well, I'll tell you, you're moving around pretty good for
• 35:36
  Speaker 7: just having.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: To have a replacement.
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: It's about seven weeks now. Yeah.
• 35:39
  Speaker 7: That's still, that used to be a long time.
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: Well, if I had a planned surgery, they'd go in
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: from the front, the anterior, and that, you're out of
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: the hospital the same damn day.
• 35:51
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's crazy.
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: And this one, I was not, because he had to
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: go in from the posterior side to fix the broken part.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: That's so nicely, delicately put by our mayor.
• 36:01
  Speaker 7: We're just, hey, that's still good. That's still amazing recovery.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: I know people that have elective hip replacements that, you know,
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: they recover a lot faster than I was able to.
• 36:11
  Speaker 7: All right. So we've got a lot. It's been a
• 36:14
  Speaker 7: minute since we've had you in. What do we want
• 36:17
  Speaker 7: to start with today?
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: Well, I just wanted to ask you a question. I
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: saw you on Facebook or maybe TV. Yeah. At Jose's.
• 36:23
  Speaker 7: I was at Jose's.
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: And you were really enjoying. a chicken fried steak under
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: enchilada sauce.
• 36:29
  Speaker 7: Under enchilada sauce.
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: And I said to myself, why would you waste good
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: enchilada sauce on a chicken fried steak? I mean, when
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: I go there, I get the enchiladas under that enchilada sauce.
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: That's what I love.
• 36:42
  Speaker 7: Well, I'll tell you.
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: That's a great place for that.
• 36:44
  Speaker 7: I'm a longtime devotee of Jose's. Normally, my go-to order,
• 36:51
  Speaker 7: until I discovered that you could do this to a
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: chicken fried steak, is the three-cheese enchilada plate. I usually
• 36:57
  Speaker 7: get some crispy tacos on the side, and then I'll
• 36:59
  Speaker 7: go through about five or six bowls of hot sauce, chips,
• 37:02
  Speaker 7: and everything else I can. I love me some Jose's.
• 37:04
  Speaker 7: That said, this was a wild change. Now, Will actually
• 37:11
  Speaker 7: may have found a way to one-up that order even more,
• 37:15
  Speaker 7: which is order the chicken fried steak and put in
• 37:19
  Speaker 7: this order chicken fried steak, then add the full enchilada,
• 37:24
  Speaker 7: like three cheese enchiladas, onto the chicken fried steak, and
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: then put the gravy, and then the cheese, and then
• 37:29
  Speaker 7: the onions, and you might have the tower of power.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: You might, and if you're eating that for breakfast, a
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: couple of over-easy eggs on top of it, I think
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: you're good to go.
• 37:38
  Speaker 7: You guys are way outdoing me.
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: I love the enchiladas, but I don't need all the
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: rest of it.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: Nobody needs that.
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: It is one of my favorite places.
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: I just wonder if anybody else is asking for that.
• 37:50
  Speaker 7: I need to go back in and actually bring it up.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: I'm sure there was an uptick after you posted it
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: on socials.
• 37:57
  Speaker 7: A lot of people have referenced that video, but again,
• 38:01
  Speaker 7: maybe it's time to go back and see if they'll
• 38:02
  Speaker 7: name it after me or something.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you need a dish with your name on it.
• 38:05
  Speaker 7: Especially at Jose's.
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: Anyway, I thought maybe today I'd just do a quick
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: re-wrap of the last council meeting, which we hear a
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: lot about the kinds of things that councils ought to
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: be doing, particularly during this period.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: And that's good. You've got A lot of good people
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: running and a lot of good ideas. Not much attention
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: was paid to the fact that there are three things
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: there that are beyond Savannah Oaks. And one of those
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: was we came out of executive session and directed staff
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: to bring back the agreement on the baseball fields.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: So obviously council is pushing forward with that. There's a
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: lot of intricacies there because of the lease arrangements and
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: all kinds of legal issues. So we're working on that,
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: and we came out of executive session and directed staff
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: to bring that back. Secondly, on the consent agenda, there
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: were two very large infrastructure projects that nobody talks about.
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: Who cares about sewers? You guys were talking about people
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: living in sewers. Well, I don't think we're going to
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: have anybody living in Phase 3 of the Northeast trunk line.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: Are we sure? Talk about some high-density housing, though.
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: They're rebuilding part of it, so maybe there are some
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: people in there they've got to chase out, but that
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: runs along Carter Creek, which means you got some erosion issues,
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: and that's going to take us right up to the
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: Bryan City limits right and then phase four is the
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: one that we've been negotiating for and finally decided on
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: a few years ago that's still in design so there's
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: 13 million dollars of just basic.
• 39:36
  Speaker 7: Infrastructure for that that you have to have.
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: And it passed without any real serious questions uh we
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: also allocate I think another 11 or 12 million for
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: the extension of of uh not Penberthy, Jones Butler, I
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: guess it's from 2018 down to a new roundabout that
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: will be built where Market Street and South Holloman come
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: together there. South Holloman, I guess it is, in Dowling.
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: So it's going to be a pretty expensive project. So
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: there's two really important infrastructure projects that nobody ever commented
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: on but yet had to be paid for and are
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: being paid for out of various kinds of funds. So
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: I think there's three things there that we're... really important,
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: but they're kind of behind-the-scenes stuff, bread-and-butter stuff that people
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: don't pay much attention to until you get to Savannah Oaks.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: You're kind of burying the lead, though, because Savannah Oaks
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: is the big deal.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: The infrastructure is not.
• 40:38
  Speaker 7: I'm following your point, and to that point, I do
• 40:42
  Speaker 7: think that there's definitely, when you look at the price tags,
• 40:46
  Speaker 7: people think I don't know why some things draw the
• 40:50
  Speaker 7: eye a little bit more than others, but yeah, roads, sewers,
• 40:54
  Speaker 7: things like that, for whatever reason, you can have it
• 40:57
  Speaker 7: be $ 13, $ 14 million, which is an astoundingly large number
• 41:01
  Speaker 7: for a project, but it just doesn't seem to capture
• 41:05
  Speaker 7: the attention of people. And I would also say, I
• 41:12
  Speaker 7: can't remember a time when we've dealt with 2,700 roofs
• 41:15
  Speaker 7: being allocated either on a single development. That is a
• 41:20
  Speaker 7: monster of a size of a development. You're talking about
• 41:27
  Speaker 7: Savannah Oaks.
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the largest single rezoning that we've ever done.
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: And I think it's 2,200 homes, 1,100, 1,200 acres in
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: that whole area at 2,200. 25% of the PDD part
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: of it, the residential part of it, is going to
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: be parks and greenways. But if you know that territory,
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: there's quite a bit of undulation, a lot of topography
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: adjustments in that area. So the drainageways have to be
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: kept open, and they can't be built on anyway. But
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: the investors in this group saw a real opportunity, and frankly,
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: they're coming along at the right time. We got two
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: or three other good-sized developments with Greens Prairie Reserve and
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: then the Wyndham Ranch next to it. That part, the
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: Wyndham Ranch, hasn't even broken ground yet, but has been approved.
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: So we've got a lot of inside-the-city opportunities for new homes.
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: Savannah Oaks is, I don't know, what do you call it?
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: It's a planned community in a lot of ways. So
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: they've got 200 or 300 acres of general commercial out
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: in front that's under a P-MUD, which is a mixed-use development,
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: And that is all laid out. And over the 15,
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: 20 years that it takes to develop all of this,
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: they'll be back two or three times making some adjustments
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: in that because the market will shift and they'll have
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: to make some arrangements.
• 42:54
  Speaker 7: Some people, you look at a project like SRK 20
• 42:58
  Speaker 7: years down the road, I actually like a long timeline
• 43:01
  Speaker 7: on these because having lived out west for a bit
• 43:05
  Speaker 7: in San Antonio, you have that situation they had out
• 43:07
  Speaker 7: there where they built out Essentially, Far West was like
• 43:11
  Speaker 7: five years. It just appeared one day, and the density
• 43:15
  Speaker 7: spiked so high.
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: The infrastructure couldn't keep up with it.
• 43:18
  Speaker 7: Nothing could keep up with it.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: Traffic couldn't.
• 43:20
  Speaker 7: I mean, it's a whole— at least you give people
• 43:23
  Speaker 7: time to grow into something like that. Because, yeah, that's
• 43:28
  Speaker 7: a lot of houses. It's a lot of people going
• 43:30
  Speaker 7: to be concentrated there. A lot of humans in far
• 43:32
  Speaker 7: south College Station, which is good.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: It's a good thing.
• 43:34
  Speaker 7: It's a good place to put them.
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that development proposal, it's right in line
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: with the future land use for that area, was going
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: to be residential. Somebody at some point had to pull
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: the trigger. You've got Southern Point, which... It's just outside
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: the city limits. It's a municipal utility district, but it
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: has the potential of being annexed inside the city once
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: they reach, what, 80% build-out, something like that. So the
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: city will stretch indefinitely to the south. The retail that
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: they plan will take a while because Caprock and Tower
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: Point are just about built out or getting close to
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: being built out. you'll see some people wanting to move
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: down that, retail down that far.
• 44:16
  Speaker 7: I would imagine you'd see a lot of people with
• 44:18
  Speaker 7: the amount of roofs within a mile.
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 44:20
  Speaker 7: Or two miles.
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, yeah.
• 44:21
  Speaker 7: You know, that's a.
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: Different kinds, but, you know, the big box kinds of
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: places probably won't start there.
• 44:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: You know, we've just done the Bass Pro Shop in Corinth,
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: the development recently, right next to Costco. That's going to
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: take a while to fill in, although the Bass Pro
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: Shop people are ready to go. I mean, they're going
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: to build out The Corinth property is next to it.
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: They've got two or three already leased. They're still working
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: on some aspects of that development. They've got another 180
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: days or something like that to finally complete that due
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: diligence period. Keep in mind, all the ribbon cuttings, I mean,
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: it isn't just Waffle House, which is a big name.
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: Everybody gets excited about it. And I will say, no
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: indication in College Station from the city that we know
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: anything about it. We've talked to them, obviously, but They
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: could be dealing in private sector without ever coming to
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: the city.
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: But we just opened Dave & Buster's yesterday.
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: Yes, you did.
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: Huge, huge development. Very impressed.
• 45:21
  Speaker 7: A lot of development. Again, development in Post Oak Mall.
• 45:26
  Speaker 7: And with that said, the turnout for their opening day
• 45:29
  Speaker 7: was insane. The amount of people that lined up for that.
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: Well, I'll tell you, the inside of that is much
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: bigger than I expected. Yeah. And their food and bar
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: area is probably 50% of the total food. footprint of
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: the whole operation. The games are big. Lots of people
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: are attracted to that, but they apparently have a very
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: positive expectations about attracting people for dinners and bar and
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: they got a big party room as well i.
• 46:00
  Speaker 7: Think they're going to do i think they're going to
• 46:01
  Speaker 7: do fantastic business all right it's and and a lot
• 46:04
  Speaker 7: of parking there a lot of parking around which is
• 46:07
  Speaker 7: perfect and again drawing more people into the mall which
• 46:09
  Speaker 7: is never.
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: Central location nothing wrong with that and don't forget sprouts
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: just opened this fall we got the sprouts last sunday morning.
• 46:15
  Speaker 7: Sprouts mafia so you've been.
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: Well yeah my wife and i stopped there last sunday
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: morning what did you think well it's again Bigger footprint
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: inside than you expect when you look at the outside.
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: It's a niche market, I guess you might call it.
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: I'm really happy that they're here. I was amazed at
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: the number of people at 11 o'clock on Sunday morning.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: It's a passionate fan base, man.
• 46:41
  Speaker 7: It's a passionate fan base.
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: A lot of variety of different kinds of things that
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: you wouldn't find in a normal grocery store. There are
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: different kinds of packaging and chips and and snacks and
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: all kinds of stuff that was in there. I was
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: very much impressed. I don't know as well do our
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: general shopping there, but I sure know if you're looking
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: for organic products and I've heard good things about their meat,
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: that's not a bad place to go.
• 47:08
  Speaker 7: Great addition for sure.
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: And then a Hunton, we just had two grand ribbon
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: cuttings down to Hunton industrial development down there south.
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: Of Tower Point.
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: One for their development. I mean, they're, their operational side
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: where they actually do installation and service, I guess. And
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: then that's a separate company. And then another one for
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: the distribution center. So, you know, lots of interesting openings
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: of all kinds of businesses in the community.
• 47:37
  Speaker 7: Man, yeah. Growing fast. Growing fast.
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: So Savannah Oaks is, as you said before, certainly a
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: signature development and one that we'll be looking at for
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: years to come. with a demand that people say are
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: going to come here relative to the university's growth and
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: relative to TerraFab. Yeah. People are still trying to get
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: their arms around that.
• 48:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's the other thing, too, is, you know, that's
• 48:05
  Speaker 7: just floating out around. And, you know, who knows where
• 48:10
  Speaker 7: that's going to influence things, too.
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: We're going to need the housing, and I'm happy to
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: see Savannah Oaks make a big commitment here. A lot
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: of infrastructure, a lot of. A lot of money in
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: the ground.
• 48:20
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: And they're not looking for much in the way of incentives.
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: They're just simply going to do it and grow. Always
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: a plus.
• 48:27
  Speaker 7: Always a plus. Anything else we want to get to
• 48:29
  Speaker 7: this week?
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: Well, the only other thing that Colin mentioned is that
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: Food Truck Wednesday is tonight, even though it's foggy.
• 48:37
  Speaker 7: Is it?
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 48:38
  Speaker 7: How did that space on Food Truck Wednesday?
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It is Wednesday.
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: Okay. All right.
• 48:42
  Speaker 36: I don't know.
• 48:43
  Speaker 15: All right.
• 48:43
  Speaker 4: It's something that he mentioned.
• 48:46
  Speaker 23: Oh, yeah.
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: Five to eight tonight at Wolf Penn Creek Festival site.
• 48:49
  Speaker 7: I love that.
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: I believe they talked about it last time.
• 48:51
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they did. I'm usually pretty hair-triggered when it comes
• 48:55
  Speaker 7: to food trucks. You know, I love me some food trucks.
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: And our next two council meetings will be on Mondays.
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: Monday the 16th is the vote to canvass the votes.
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: We may possibly, in fact, probably, since there's two of
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: the places that have three candidates, we'll have to have
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: a runoff. That'll be December 12th. right so there'll be
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: a little bit of uh time in there where you
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: may have uh a vacancy on the council depending on
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: how the election goes from here and so on and
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: so forth a lot of ifs ands and buts in
• 49:27
  Speaker 4: that and then november 23rd is also monday that's thanksgiving
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: week so uh the new council thank goodness not me
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: the new council will have that opportunity i'm uh.
• 49:38
  Speaker 7: You said that with such joy. That's right for Thanksgiving.
• 49:41
  Speaker 7: I'm not going to be.
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: You know, people probably don't realize that I spent 30
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: years in service to the city. And it isn't just
• 49:48
  Speaker 4: the elected time, which is 15 years, something like that.
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: But the appointed years leading up to that were regular meetings, unpaid,
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: but a commitment that I've always felt strongly about that
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: I want to serve the community. And so I think...
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: 30 years probably is a nice round number, and that's
• 50:07
  Speaker 4: why I didn't run for another term. If I'd gotten
• 50:10
  Speaker 4: to be mayor earlier, I probably wouldn't run for a
• 50:13
  Speaker 4: second term. But after 30 years, I think that second
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: term probably wasn't as valuable.
• 50:21
  Speaker 33: As I am.
• 50:21
  Speaker 7: You know what's great after 30 years? Holidays that you
• 50:25
  Speaker 7: can turn your phone off.
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: Wonderful things.
• 50:29
  Speaker 4: Raccoons in the utilities.
