  Speaker 1: tuesday's Brass's County Commissioner's meeting, one topic was the tax
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: rate the county is having to dip into the fund
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: balance each year to fund maintenance and operations projects. They
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: didn't adopt the highest amount proposed, instead opting to go
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: with the second highest rate. That amount is forty four
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: point eighty four cents, but it won't be adopted until
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: after public hearings on the tax rate. Those will take
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: place before the next Commissioner's Court meeting on Tuesday, September first,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: starting at eight thirty am. They will discuss both the
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: tax rate and the proposed four hundred and eighty two

• 0:42
  Speaker 1: a house fire in the thirty five hundred block of

  Speaker 1: Midwest Drive just before two thirty Tuesday afternoon. CRUZ found
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: an active fire in the attic of the home that

  Speaker 1: was able to exit the home without injury, and no
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: surrounding structures were affected. The cause of the fire is
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: under investigation. Flock cameras are being credited with reuniting a
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: missing child from Sabine County with her family.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Sabine Counties just east of Lufkin. Authorities there were notified
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: early Sunday of a missing child and that led to
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: a multi agency drag net and included officers from both
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Texas and Louisiana. Beaumont's KFDM television reporting that flock cameras
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: and license plate readers led authorities to intercept a car
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: and rescue that child just before the car reached the
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Louisiana Mississippi state line. Sixty year old Roger Smith of Pineland,
• 1:33

• 5:12
  Speaker 1: fact that you know, I've got my last one is
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: about to be a senior. Although I walked out yesterday
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: morning and the cheerleaders at A and M consolidated it,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I guess they'd gotten together and painted the windows on
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: the vehicle.

  Speaker 4: Absolutely yeah, because it's senior years, right, and it wrote out.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I had it, had it ready for today's first day
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: of school. When I walked out yesterday morning, I noticed,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: you know, seniors twenty six or class of twenty six
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: on one of the windows. Whatever. When I got home
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: yesterday and finally when my wife got home, I said, yeah,

  Speaker 1: it this morning, Like, hey, if you fail remedial counting,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I don't think they let you graduate.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: That's how you start a school.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: That's how you started school.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's how you started school.

  Speaker 1: else with the big school going on.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're so there there. So the accident started pouring
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: in yesterday. For what it's worth that that was the
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: first day I started seeing which makes sense. You know,
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: it's the Monday after the weekend. There were some doozies.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: So yeah, there were some doozies yesterday, and yeah, I
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: expect nothing, nothing different today.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: So this is the this is the senior year.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: This is these senior year.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: Kid, this is the kiddo emotional about this.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think she's focusing on is
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the day to day. She's so busy, locked in and
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: and I mean her day this morning, she's up right now.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: She she was getting up at five this morning to
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: get ready for the school day because she got stuff. Yeah,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: and she'll have cheer practice and whatever, and then she'll
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: do her wrangler stuff whether or not she's teaching the littles,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: because she helps to teach the littles or it's her
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: own team. Uh. And so, like I said last night,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: when when she finally came home and before she and
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: her mother had to do some first day of school
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: TikTok as I was trying to go to sleep, took
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of takes. I'll see if I can get
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: my hands on. It's it's one of those where you're
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: just repeating what other people say. Yeah, those silly things. Anyway,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: they did that several times over and over and over again.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: Is important.

  Speaker 1: We'll do that.

  Speaker 4: I got time for that.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Good morning from the wta W newsroom. I'm will welch
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: whres this kind of? Commissioner's Court approved yesterday a plan
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: to get the Relis Campus Data and Research Center back
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: on track. This way, Global Incorporated says they'll comply with
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: the laws, current and future. Here's Commissioner conder law.
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: So they're agreeing right now to the current laws, to
• 21:03
  Speaker 7: what we've requested, which largely mirror Governor Abbot's requests, and
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: to future legislation for this coming legislative session. They will
• 21:11
  Speaker 7: be following all of those, or I wouldn't feel good
• 21:14
  Speaker 7: about this.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Commissioner Fred Brown understands that Texas A and M would
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: find a way to make the project a reality, with
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: or without the county.
• 21:21
  Speaker 8: The elephant in the room that we didn't discuss is
• 21:23
  Speaker 8: Texas A and M, and they're going to do this
• 21:26
  Speaker 8: no matter what, whether we're involved or Brian's involved. It's
• 21:30
  Speaker 8: an A and M project, and we would be foolish
• 21:34
  Speaker 8: to not be a part of it and to not
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: take advantage of the potential taxes that they will pay.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Public concerns over data centers always center around drawing too
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: much electricity from the grid or residents seeing higher rates.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Condola and Commissioner Wanda Watson discuss.
• 21:51
  Speaker 7: And BTU has given all of us a letter saying
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: they have the capacity it will want to affect anyone's
• 21:55
  Speaker 7: power delivery or rates. So I do want that one
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: thing clarified here before we vote.
• 22:01
  Speaker 8: So but I was, I guess going back to the
• 22:03
  Speaker 8: creation of those mini reactors that Brian was being a
• 22:06
  Speaker 8: part of, and yeah.
• 22:08
  Speaker 7: When those are online, that's going to be that's going
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: to be a game changer for a lot of things,
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: not just this agreement.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Condola continues with all.
• 22:15
  Speaker 7: Our concerns about data centers in this agreement covered and
• 22:20
  Speaker 7: future laws being applicable to them, and they're ready to
• 22:23
  Speaker 7: sign that. I'm in favor of.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: It's a forty year land lease between the University and
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: this Way Global. Brass County would be unable to collect
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: taxes on land owned by A and M, but that
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: changes once this Way Global takes over. The county is
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: offering fifty percent in tax abatements for each of the
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: first ten years. For the remaining thirty years of the lease,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: the county would receive one hundred percent of property taxes.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Commissioners unanimously approved the item. The Brian College Station Chamber

• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Abbot says he has his own demands.

  Speaker 9: the place, found Billy GiB might him go to the
• 29:58
  Speaker 9: rehearsal studio. When we jammed for about eight hours.
• 30:01
  Speaker 10: It didn't take thirty minutes, didn't take thirty seconds. I
• 30:05
  Speaker 10: knew that Frank Beard had the kind of chops that
• 30:09
  Speaker 10: I was looking for, and I decided enter Frank Beard
• 30:13
  Speaker 10: as the new drummer. He said, Oh, by the way,
• 30:16
  Speaker 10: I know a bass player that would really round this out.
• 30:19
  Speaker 10: Next thing, you know, we're in another jam session, Dusty Hill.
• 30:23
  Speaker 10: And that first shuffle in CEA lasted for three solid,
• 30:29
  Speaker 10: uninterrupted hours.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: And that's how it went down.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: That's also why is Frank Beard the one without the beard?
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Wasn't that always the greatest iron?
• 30:37
  Speaker 9: I had a beard, you know, but it wasn't near
• 30:40
  Speaker 9: the beard they had, and so I shaved it pretty
• 30:44
  Speaker 9: much right after we got back together, when I saw
• 30:47
  Speaker 9: that they had this much and I didn't have. You know,
• 30:49
  Speaker 9: I had this much.
• 30:50
  Speaker 10: Frank didn't mind being beardless. After all, he had the name,
• 30:54
  Speaker 10: and he could go to the shopping mall without being interrupted.
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: He wouldn't go to the mall with me or anything.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: Just when I'm not going out in public with you
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: because you get recognized now, genius.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: That whole beard thing was all accidental. Yeah, just they
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: were completely disheveled. They had been like a part for
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: quite some time. Right, they all get back together and yeah,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: they just hadn't shaped anyway.
• 31:16

• 31:41
  Speaker 6: Head coach Bobby Sheltleworth talked about what he saw from
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: his team and what they can build off of from
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: the Baylor match ahead of tonight's game.
• 31:49
  Speaker 11: Every game that we get this group together, playing another
• 31:51
  Speaker 11: game is important. I think the second half showed, you know,
• 31:54
  Speaker 11: a little bit more grittiness from us, a little our
• 31:56
  Speaker 11: determination aggressiveness. So that's got to be the standard for us.
• 32:00
  Speaker 11: In this program is those things are non negotiable. So
• 32:02
  Speaker 11: I think with this team, if you see that and
• 32:05
  Speaker 11: we're gonna have some success.
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: Tonight's match is the first time that the teams will
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: face off in San Marcus and is the Aggie second
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: road trip contest against a team that played in the
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: twenty twenty five in Cuba tournament. Admission for the game
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: is free for Texas state contests, and fans can watch
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: the broadcast live on the PAC twelve YouTube page. The
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: Aggi football team is a couple of weeks into fall camp,
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: as well as ranked at number eight in the preseason
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: AP and Coaches Poll. Yesterday, head coach Mike Elkom met
• 32:35
  Speaker 6: with the media to talk about what the new offense
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: and defense has been showing him in practices.
• 32:41
  Speaker 12: I think you could see a lot of things in practice, obviously.
• 32:43
  Speaker 12: I think you can identify a lot of things just
• 32:47
  Speaker 12: from years of experience doing it and knowing what it
• 32:49
  Speaker 12: should look like. I think the biggest challenge you always
• 32:52
  Speaker 12: have in fall camp, and this is I think is
• 32:54
  Speaker 12: our biggest as we're battling through this is is there's
• 32:58
  Speaker 12: not a lot of relative comparison that you've played with
• 33:01
  Speaker 12: on the field in sec football, right, And that's where
• 33:04
  Speaker 12: you know, if you had just lost the old line
• 33:06
  Speaker 12: and you knew what the D line was, or you
• 33:08
  Speaker 12: just lost the D line and you knew what the
• 33:09
  Speaker 12: old line was, We've got two groups battling that are
• 33:12
  Speaker 12: all relative unknowns, right, And so I think until you
• 33:15
  Speaker 12: get to September fifth and start rolling it out there
• 33:18
  Speaker 12: against competitive people, it'll be a little.
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: Bit of a late and syy offensive coordinator Home and
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: Wiggins also met with the media yesterday to talk about
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: what the offense has been working on ahead of the
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: start of the season.
• 33:30
  Speaker 13: We got to be consistent, right when you sit there
• 33:32
  Speaker 13: and talk about what I learned from those guys, Like
• 33:33
  Speaker 13: the biggest focus that we've had is you know, turnovers,
• 33:36
  Speaker 13: penalties and being able to run the ball consistently. And
• 33:39
  Speaker 13: we're still not where we need to be, right, the
• 33:41
  Speaker 13: standard's going to be that that standard is excellent. So
• 33:44
  Speaker 13: we got a chance to you know, sit there and
• 33:46
  Speaker 13: peel back the curtain a little bit, kind of show
• 33:48
  Speaker 13: our guys. And we talk about having two mentalities, right,
• 33:50
  Speaker 13: mirror mentality or window mentality, and we want to look
• 33:52
  Speaker 13: in the mirror and see here's where we're at and
• 33:54
  Speaker 13: here's where we need to get better at. So that's
• 33:56
  Speaker 13: what we're working on for the rest.
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: Of us fall Campahiggins also talked about what he saw
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: from the offense during their recent scrimmage.
• 34:04
  Speaker 13: I love the fact that the way those guys approached it.
• 34:06
  Speaker 13: I think the sun kind of SAPPI a little bit, right.
• 34:09
  Speaker 13: So our championship strain and our competitive stamma wasn't anywhere
• 34:12
  Speaker 13: close to where it should be. But there were plays made,
• 34:14
  Speaker 13: but also right, we negated a ton of those plays
• 34:17
  Speaker 13: with you know, false starts or holdings or any of
• 34:19
  Speaker 13: those things from that nature. So I want to get
• 34:22
  Speaker 13: to the point, or we want to get to the
• 34:23
  Speaker 13: point where we can go in there and put on
• 34:24
  Speaker 13: the tape and say here's where we are. Not if
• 34:27
  Speaker 13: we would have did this, we would have you know,
• 34:28
  Speaker 13: here here's the result. Right, So we got to make
• 34:31
  Speaker 13: sure that we continue to be process driven in our
• 34:34
  Speaker 13: outcome oriented and make sure that we continue to put
• 34:36
  Speaker 13: the right things in place so we can have that
• 34:39
  Speaker 13: championship execution that we're looking for.
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: As of today, we are seventeen days out of seeing
• 34:43
  Speaker 6: the Aggies hit the field and kicking off the start
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: of the twenty twenty six season at Kyle Field, where
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: A and M will be taking on Missouri State at
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: six o'clock on September fifth. Former A and M consolidated
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: quarterback Jeff Watson has passed away at the age of fifty.
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: As a sophomore in nineteen nine, Watson led the Tigers
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: to their only state football championship, where they defeated Carthage.
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: In the Astrodome.
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: On the team was his favorite receiver, his younger brother Jason.
