• 0:18
  Speaker 1: been arguing with his mother, and when she tried to leave,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: that's when he hurled the 18-inch instrument at his mother,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: striking her in the arm. According to arrest records, Blumenthal
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: became angry after his mother told him he needed to

• 0:43
  Speaker 1: release his grip and kicking at deputies. Blumenthal was charged
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: with assault, causing bodily injury involving family violence and interference

• 1:25
  Speaker 1: a town hall style conversation with Texas voters hosted by CNN.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: The state representative from Round Rock says he's done his
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: best to keep his campaign focused.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: There is way too much mudslinging in our political discourse.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: There's way too much big money in our politics. Right now,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: the richest man in the world is dumping hundreds of
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: millions of dollars into into this state to try to
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: defame me, to try to defeat this movement that we're building.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: And so I'm doing everything I can to stand up
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: against those lies. I'm doing everything I can to correct
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: the record. And I'm trying not to get into the mud.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to stay focused on my opponent's record. I'm
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: not lying about him. I'm not talking about personal issues.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: I am only talking about his record and trying to
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: articulate the choice that's in front of voters.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: In this state.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: CNN says it invited Republican nominee Ken Paxton to participate,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: but he did not respond. Paxton kicks off an 18-day
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: bus tour across the state on Saturday. President Trump's easing
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: of sanctions on Russian diesel to help lower prices is
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: being panned by Texas politicians and local economists.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: Senator John Cornyn with a statement saying, Senator Cruz supported
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: sanctioning Russia in the first place. Now Energy Fellow Ed
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: Hurst from the University of Houston is panning the economics
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: of the deal.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: This is the administration grasping at straws, trying to find something.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: That will appeal to the voters.
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: But it's not going to have any impact where it
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: really matters, and that's the voters' pocketbook.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: According to Hurst, the promised volumes of released diesel are
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: far too small to significantly lower global or domestic fuel prices.
• 3:08

  Speaker 7: AI, big tech, and online predators are creating new threats
• 3:26
  Speaker 7: for our children every day. As a father, Paul Dyson
• 3:30
  Speaker 7: knows how dangerous these platforms can be. That's why he
• 3:33
  Speaker 7: passed a law stopping big tech and predators from targeting
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: Texas children. And he passed legislation blocking AI from being
• 3:40
  Speaker 7: used as a weapon against our kids. State Representative Paul

  Speaker 9: delivering results. He took on human traffickers and protected our kids.

  Speaker 9: He passed safeguards against dangerous uses of AI, and he
• 4:43
  Speaker 9: fought for Texas energy production to bring down prices at
• 4:46
  Speaker 9: the pump and cut costs for small businesses.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: These aren't promises.
• 4:50
  Speaker 9: They're results that make a difference for Texas families.

  Speaker 11: 1620-945-WTAW. Infomaniacs, Dusty filling in. Happy Friday, everyone. And wear
• 5:18
  Speaker 11: a sweater, because by the end of the day, you'll
• 5:20
  Speaker 11: wish you had it. 40 mile an hour winds. Temperatures
• 5:24
  Speaker 11: falling all day. Low of 49 degrees tonight.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: Going to be pleasant.
• 5:31
  Speaker 11: Tomorrow for game day. All day you're looking at maybe
• 5:34
  Speaker 11: getting to 70 degrees.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 5:36
  Speaker 11: For kickoff, you're looking at.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: For kickoff around 60. Tailgating in the morning. Going to
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: be a little bit cool.
• 5:42
  Speaker 11: Oh, yes, it will. Weather is brought to you by
• 5:45
  Speaker 11: United Roofing and Sheet Metal, home of the Duralast Roof System,
• 5:48
  Speaker 11: the world's best roof. Give them a call, 268-ROOF, or.
• 5:51
  Speaker 11: Go to UnitedRoomPros.com. I'm glad you had the same reaction
• 5:54
  Speaker 11: when I sent this to you. So I find this article,
• 5:56
  Speaker 11: and it's got two distinct sides to it. And again,
• 6:00
  Speaker 11: the headline reads as follows. Online community and connection in America.
• 6:07
  Speaker 11: Nearly four out of ten U.S. adults, including half of
• 6:14
  Speaker 11: those 18 to 29, are part.
• 6:18
  Speaker 11: Of an online community.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: And I read that and went, there is no way
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: it's that little.
• 6:23
  Speaker 11: I kind of stared at it a second. I was
• 6:25
  Speaker 11: going through the comments like, oh, how's this possible? Are
• 6:28
  Speaker 11: y'all not thinking this through?
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: That's got to be the only way because I'm looking
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: at through this list.
• 6:34
  Speaker 11: Everyone is a part of it. Yeah, what do we
• 6:36
  Speaker 11: have in there? What do they list as an online community?
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: The number one source for the online community was Facebook, Instagram,
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: or TikTok.
• 6:43
  Speaker 11: Okay, so that's everyone.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: That's everyone.
• 6:45
  Speaker 11: That's everyone.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: Some people are on that, but maybe not part of
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: a group within that.
• 6:52
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 6:54
  Speaker 11: Like a subset that you define as a community.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: Like maybe your neighborhood or maybe the college station beekeepers.
• 7:05
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 7:06
  Speaker 11: Whatever.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Whatever hobby you're into or whatever.
• 7:09
  Speaker 11: But you have an online group where you all get together.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: And talk about whatever your interest is, whether it's your neighborhood. Bingo.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: Like next door. Or you go on, let's say you
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: dip into the cesspool.
• 7:24
  Speaker 11: See, that's the first one that came to mind for
• 7:28
  Speaker 11: everyone thinking they're too good. Oh, no, that's weird to
• 7:31
  Speaker 11: be in an online commute, guys.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: What do you think those message boards are, whether that's
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: for sports or for anything else, whether it's... Whether it's Tex-Ex,
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: whether it's Reddit.
• 7:44
  Speaker 11: Well, I don't identify as part of a community.
• 7:48
  Speaker 14: Oh, yeah.
• 7:48
  Speaker 11: How many times a day do you ask your friends, hey,
• 7:50
  Speaker 11: did you read this on Tex-Ex?
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: They did. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. And go find a 22-year-old
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: and ask them if they're on Discord.
• 8:01
  Speaker 11: That's the truth.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: The answer is going to be yes.
• 8:03
  Speaker 11: There are a lot of you that are in the
• 8:06
  Speaker 11: listening audience because I am also not. I probably should
• 8:10
  Speaker 11: be on Discord, but I'm not because of the amount
• 8:12
  Speaker 11: of people that send me, hey, check out my Discord,
• 8:14
  Speaker 11: check out my Discord, check out my Discord. It's very high.
• 8:17
  Speaker 11: I've just never actually– it annoys me to the point
• 8:20
  Speaker 11: where I don't– like I'm actively avoiding it. But if
• 8:23
  Speaker 11: you don't know what this is, yeah, everyone under the
• 8:26
  Speaker 11: age of 30, that's how they get their news.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: I would say.
• 8:32
  Speaker 11: And that's the smarter ones in that demo.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: And how many people... I mean, if you have college
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: students or you know college students or maybe later high
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: school students, you will find out sometimes when they refer
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: to their friends, they're people they've never met in real life.
• 8:48
  Speaker 11: This is true. This is true.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: Because they're... They're all a part of an online community,
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: whether that community is through gaming that they do, whether
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: it's through Reddit, or whether it's through Discord, or young
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: people are generally not on Facebook. But one of those
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: other platforms, they're all part of one.
• 9:08
  Speaker 11: If you know any.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: Not half. No, it's all. I.
• 9:12
  Speaker 11: I can't think of a single person that I know,
• 9:14
  Speaker 11: and this goes all the way down to kids, like
• 9:17
  Speaker 11: my nieces and nephews that are old enough to game
• 9:21
  Speaker 11: or get online in any capacity. Every, and tell me
• 9:27
  Speaker 11: if I'm wrong, every person I know under the age of,
• 9:30
  Speaker 11: I'm going to give you 25. He has at least
• 9:35
  Speaker 11: one friend or multiple friends that they have been friends
• 9:39
  Speaker 11: with that are real life friendships. They will tell you
• 9:42
  Speaker 11: this is my friend who they have never been in
• 9:46
  Speaker 11: the same room with and likely will never be in
• 9:49
  Speaker 11: the same room with.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, so I mean, certainly I'm a part
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: of online communities, you know, for this or that, even
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: though I'm not on Facebook and I but I, I'm,
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: I'm a part of other message boards and communities. Do
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: I consider those people the same as people that I
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: know and talk to every day? Yeah.
• 10:05
  Speaker 11: No, no. I, yeah, that's the difference. I, to me,
• 10:08
  Speaker 11: to me, unless I, unless I have physically been in
• 10:11
  Speaker 11: a room with you. it's hard for me to classify
• 10:14
  Speaker 11: you as the same level in my personal social hierarchy. Kids,
• 10:19
  Speaker 11: completely different.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: But are you still a part of that group? Yeah,
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: you are. Absolutely, 100% you are. Now, the one thing,
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: so I didn't believe the 40% or 50% for the
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: younger groups, but the one thing that I did take
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: was a majority of people said politics had no part
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: in there.
• 10:38
  Speaker 11: That is a really interesting wrinkle. Yeah, it's definitive.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: Because it wasn't too many years ago that politics had
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: to be a part of everything that everyone did.
• 10:46
  Speaker 11: It said, hey, keep the politics off of the community chat.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: And that went across most age groups.
• 10:55
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 10:56
  Speaker 11: I think that's a chance.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: The younger they were, the more they said, hey, keep
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: your politics to yourself. Don't want to hear it.
• 11:02
  Speaker 11: We've been saying this. We've been saying this for 10
• 11:05
  Speaker 11: to 15 years now. There was a time. where you
• 11:09
  Speaker 11: didn't actively discuss it. You didn't actively bring it up
• 11:15
  Speaker 11: with anyone. With anyone.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: Period.
• 11:19
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I couldn't tell you how my grandfather voted. I
• 11:21
  Speaker 11: really have no clue what his politics were. He never
• 11:24
  Speaker 11: spoke of it to me in my entire life. I
• 11:29
  Speaker 11: wouldn't know how my dad voted had it not been
• 11:32
  Speaker 11: for the last 15 years when he started, you know,
• 11:36
  Speaker 11: doing the thing. And it's it's it's wild, but perhaps
• 11:40
  Speaker 11: it's returning.
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: And I think people have worn out on that.
• 11:43
  Speaker 16: Right.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: It became a thing. Number one thing people enjoy an
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: online community for is is a hobby.
• 11:50
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: Because maybe you don't just find enough people close to
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: you that enjoy your hobby. You know, you might. You
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: might have some friends that you enjoy your hobby with.
• 11:59
  Speaker 11: But you need to vary it up a little bit.
• 12:02
  Speaker 11: You need to have some people. Like birdwatching, which is
• 12:05
  Speaker 11: the big one now. People are getting really into that.
• 12:07
  Speaker 11: There's only so many birdwatchers you're going to encounter in
• 12:09
  Speaker 11: the wild. But online, they are legion. Millions of them.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: Number two thing that people have an online community for is, strangely,
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: their local area.
• 12:20
  Speaker 11: Oh, yeah, like, let's say, again, Nextdoor. Do you know
• 12:23
  Speaker 11: anyone that's not on Nextdoor?
• 12:25
  Speaker 17: Me.
• 12:25
  Speaker 11: How are you not on Nextdoor?
• 12:27
  Speaker 9: I'm not.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: It's just because you don't have any neighbors?
• 12:30
  Speaker 11: You have neighbors, right?
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, that you could drive to.
• 12:35
  Speaker 11: I mean, take a break back after this.
• 12:39
  Speaker 18: Howdy, I'm Bob Yancey, proud Aggie grad and Air Force veteran,
• 12:43
  Speaker 18: two-term councilman, and candidate for College Station Mayor. If you

• 12:50
  Speaker 18: I hope you'll consider a vote for me, Bob Yancey.

  Speaker 15: I did.
• 15:29
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: I did watch a couple episodes of that, and I went... No, no, no, no, no.
• 15:34
  Speaker 11: No, it's a movie.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: That's a movie.
• 15:36
  Speaker 11: Obsession.
• 15:37
  Speaker 10: Obsession.
• 15:37
  Speaker 11: Yeah, so the idea is that this kid.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: What am I thinking of?
• 15:40
  Speaker 11: There's probably a TV show also called Obsession, but this one,
• 15:43
  Speaker 11: you have this kind of dork who really has a
• 15:46
  Speaker 11: crush on this girl, but he can't bring himself to, like,
• 15:48
  Speaker 11: you know.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: Okay, never seen that.
• 15:50
  Speaker 11: Ask her out. And so he goes and basically gets
• 15:53
  Speaker 11: a spell to cast on her. And, of course, she
• 15:56
  Speaker 11: turns into an absolute, unmitigated demon. Like it ruins everyone's life.
• 16:03
  Speaker 11: And it's fantastic. Fantastic movie and fantastic costume.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: So my costume, I decided on it this summer.
• 16:10
  Speaker 21: What do you got?
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: As I was watching the World Cup. Easiest costume ever.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: And it would stand out to you like that. Yeah.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: The head coach, Mauricio Pochettino.
• 16:22
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 16:23
  Speaker 22: Right?
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: You go down to Walmart, you get you a blue
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: work shirt, some blue work pants.
• 16:28
  Speaker 11: You'd be good to go.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: You know, a white T-shirt, you button the second to
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: the top button.
• 16:32
  Speaker 23: Yeah, you're solid.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: And everybody knows who you are, right? I mean, because
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: that's what he wore in every game.
• 16:36
  Speaker 11: Hey, I think it's solid. Now, as long as we're
• 16:40
  Speaker 11: on Halloween, talk haunted locales, because there is a new
• 16:43
  Speaker 11: list of the most haunted cities in America. It's put
• 16:45
  Speaker 11: out by Vivint, who are the people that make some
• 16:46
  Speaker 11: of those cameras that you put in your home.
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: So is New Orleans, like, banned from the list? Are
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: they on the list?
• 16:53
  Speaker 11: That's what I wanted to get to.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: Because they are number one.
• 16:56
  Speaker 11: There is no second place, and it's New Orleans. Like,
• 17:01
  Speaker 11: it's absolutely New Orleans.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: Top ten.
• 17:03
  Speaker 11: Weston, West Virginia, Los Angeles, Austin, Texas in the most
• 17:08
  Speaker 11: haunted list.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 17:09
  Speaker 11: Explain, please.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: Don't know.
• 17:12
  Speaker 11: Because I have no clue.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: I mean, you've lived there. I kind of grew up,
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: you know, on the outside of Austin. What's haunted about?
• 17:18
  Speaker 11: What's the haunted Austin story? San Antonio, I'll give you.
• 17:22
  Speaker 11: You got plenty of haunted stuff in San Antonio.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but nothing in Austin that I could think of.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: You got plenty of haunted.
• 17:26
  Speaker 11: Stuff in Galveston. I can't think of a single story.
• 17:29
  Speaker 11: Estes Park, Colorado, probably because of The Shining. Cape May,
• 17:33
  Speaker 11: New Jersey. Gettysburg. Fair. Galena, Illinois. Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Tombstone, Arizona.
• 17:40
  Speaker 11: And Virginia City, Nevada, which is like some old mining town.
• 17:43
  Speaker 11: What were they thinking with this?
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: I found out how they got Austin on the list.
• 17:48
  Speaker 9: Go.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: It looks like they use factors such as psychic and
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: spiritual businesses.
• 17:53
  Speaker 11: Oh, would you stop it? Is that for real?
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: It's for real. Well, okay.
• 17:58
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 17:59
  Speaker 24: Right.
• 18:00
  Speaker 16: Right.
• 18:00
  Speaker 11: But no one, that's not what I'm going for.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: So it's the most hippie cities, not the most haunted cities. Yeah,
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: so these are the.
• 18:05
  Speaker 11: Crunchiest places you can go for Halloween. Maybe that's appealing
• 18:08
  Speaker 11: as well.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: Because, you know, I look at the list and the
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: only thing I could figure was, you know, New Orleans
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: was banned as an all-time champion, right? They've been retired.
• 18:17
  Speaker 11: Exactly. Hung the jersey up. You called it good. Now,
• 18:21
  Speaker 11: this is a great, somewhat paranormal, somewhat monstery, a poll
• 18:25
  Speaker 11: on social media. Would you let a hungry vampire suck
• 18:28
  Speaker 11: your blood? Assuming you're not going to die and you're
• 18:33
  Speaker 11: not going to turn into a vampire. What percentage of
• 18:36
  Speaker 11: people said yes? 5%, 10%, what do you think?
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: That would be a good number?
• 18:44
  Speaker 11: That's probably still pretty dumb, but, you know, it's a ballpark.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: I read this story, and I felt dumber for having
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: clicked on the link.
• 18:54
  Speaker 11: Don't tell them yet.
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: Go ahead. Text us, 979-695-1620.
• 18:57
  Speaker 11: If you get it right on, I'll find something to
• 18:59
  Speaker 11: give you. We'll do brass bells.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, the answer is heck no, right? Would you?
• 19:03
  Speaker 11: Well, I'm going somewhere with this. Would not. The answer
• 19:07
  Speaker 11: is no. Okay, the answer is no. That's correct. The
• 19:09
  Speaker 11: answer is always going to be no. But there is
• 19:12
  Speaker 11: a percentage of people that said yes.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: So you won't die, you won't turn into a vampire,
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: but it'll hurt.
• 19:16
  Speaker 11: No die, no vampire, it will hurt. And the vampire
• 19:19
  Speaker 11: is not trying to kill you. They are just hungry.
• 19:22
  Speaker 11: They need sustenance. Please, sir, can I just drain a pint?
• 19:28
  Speaker 11: That's what they're asking.
• 19:29
  Speaker 15: A certain.
• 19:30
  Speaker 11: amount of people said yes and a certain amount of
• 19:33
  Speaker 11: people said no what percentage of people guessed yes and
• 19:38
  Speaker 11: again the first text that i see that is correct
• 19:41
  Speaker 11: at 979-695-1620 i will give you tickets to the Browse
• 19:45
  Speaker 11: Valley Fair just to, again, off the top of your head.
• 19:49
  Speaker 11: Don't Google it. Who cares? Just what do you think?
• 19:51
  Speaker 11: How many freaks do you think are in this world
• 19:53
  Speaker 11: right now? What do you think? Oh, 18% from Stephanie.
• 19:58
  Speaker 11: 18% is a, I guarantee you Stephanie thought that was high.
• 20:01
  Speaker 11: You're not even close. Not even close, Stephanie. Not even
• 20:05
  Speaker 11: in the ballpark.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: Could be 20%.
• 20:06
  Speaker 11: Could be 25%. 30% even. What if it was 30%, Dusty?
• 20:15
  Speaker 11: It's not.
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: It's higher. I have said no matter what dumb thing
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: you come up with, there are at least 30% of
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: people that are down with it.
• 20:22
  Speaker 11: That's right.
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: It doesn't matter. That's like the baseline. Exactly.
• 20:28
  Speaker 11: The actual amount, because I am headed somewhere with this,
• 20:32
  Speaker 11: is 58% of people.
• 20:32
  Speaker 16: 58%.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: Now, here's the thing.
• 20:37
  Speaker 11: How do I know that that's dumb and completely made up?
• 20:41
  Speaker 11: Any ideas, Dusty?
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: Because it sounds like it is. Well, it is.
• 20:45
  Speaker 11: Do 58% of y'all donate blood today?
• 20:47
  Speaker 25: No.
• 20:48
  Speaker 11: No. Do 58% of you give food to the homeless
• 20:52
  Speaker 11: when you see them today?
• 20:53
  Speaker 7: No.
• 20:54
  Speaker 22: No.
• 20:55
  Speaker 13: No.
• 20:57
  Speaker 11: Seriously, with the way people are, you think that a
• 21:00
  Speaker 11: vampire walks up to them and says, hey, it's kind
• 21:04
  Speaker 11: of a crazy month.
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: Do you mind if I.
• 21:06
  Speaker 11: Get some of what you got there? 58% of us
• 21:08
  Speaker 11: are going to, yeah, sure. You can tell me 58%
• 21:13
  Speaker 11: would set up a DoorDash account to let someone get
• 21:16
  Speaker 11: a pint sent to them. I mean, I.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: Watch the guys at the corner. They're not getting 58%
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: of the cars.
• 21:24
  Speaker 11: They wouldn't be on the corner for very long, gang.
• 21:26
  Speaker 11: We're going to take a break. We'll talk news. It's
• 21:30
  Speaker 11: coming up next.
• 21:31
  Speaker 19: What do we really know about James Tallarico?
• 21:34
  Speaker 26: Tallarico said, Tallarico supported using taxpayer dollars for sex change
• 21:42
  Speaker 26: surgeries on young children, claimed denying your child's gender identity
• 21:46
  Speaker 26: is abusive, said the trans community needs abortion care too,
• 21:51
  Speaker 26: and even called Jesus a radical feminist and said God
• 21:55
  Speaker 26: is non-binary.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: But it gets worse.
• 22:01
  Speaker 26: James Tallarico voted to allow biological men access to women's
• 22:05
  Speaker 26: bathrooms in schools and for biological boys to play in
• 22:08
  Speaker 26: girls' sports, saying some things are more important than fair
• 22:13
  Speaker 26: competition in sports.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: Defending trans Texas is something we have to do every day.

• 23:13
  Speaker 17: this Friday, I'm thinking about Donald Trump's diesel deal with Russia.
• 23:18
  Speaker 17: The president is reducing the tariffs on Putin's fuel to
• 23:22
  Speaker 17: lower costs, not only here in the USA, but all
• 23:26
  Speaker 17: around the world. Now Moscow can circumvent the economic sanctions
• 23:31
  Speaker 17: and sell oil. Now, I don't know why Donald Trump
• 23:35
  Speaker 17: has done this. I'm trying to find out. So far,
• 23:39
  Speaker 17: I've come up with nothing. If you look at the
• 23:43
  Speaker 17: president's past, this is typically a prelude to a larger
• 23:47
  Speaker 17: agreement he wants to make. Unfortunately, few of these deals
• 23:52
  Speaker 17: have come to fruition in the last two years. So
• 23:56
  Speaker 17: maybe it's a backdoor play.
• 23:58
  Speaker 11: Again, I don't know.
• 23:59
  Speaker 17: It's causing a lot of problems in Europe that I
• 24:02
  Speaker 17: do know. And the American left, as well as some
• 24:06
  Speaker 17: conservatives in the USA, don't like it either. People do
• 24:11
  Speaker 17: not understand why we're not punishing Putin to the full extent.
• 24:15
  Speaker 17: According to NATO, his invasion of Ukraine has caused the
• 24:18
  Speaker 17: deaths of a half million people. The actual toll is
• 24:22
  Speaker 17: probably higher. So why give Russia some economic relief? The answer, again,
• 24:28
  Speaker 17: is I don't know.
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: Mr.
• 24:33
  Speaker 17: Trump thinks it'll lower world energy prices. Long shot. Back
• 24:40
  Speaker 17: in a moment. Every October, the same thing happens. People
• 24:45
  Speaker 17: start getting sick. And suddenly everybody needs medication at the
• 24:50
  Speaker 17: same time.

  Speaker 23: fight to Austin to ensure our district gets the funding
• 26:24
  Speaker 23: we deserve. Let's keep CSISD the place where families and

  Speaker 1: From the WTAW Newsroom, I'm Jeanette Menchow. News is presented
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: by Westweb, All Britain and Gentry Law Firm, the experienced
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: legal team for the things you value most. The League
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: of Women Voters is hosting Speed Dating with the candidates
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: this weekend.
• 27:20
  Speaker 28: The way it's set up is voters will be at
• 27:24
  Speaker 28: different tables based on whether we'll have some tables for
• 27:27
  Speaker 28: College Station voters and tables for Bryan voters. And then
• 27:32
  Speaker 28: the candidates will be rotating votes. From table to table
• 27:36
  Speaker 28: on a pretty quick schedule. And so it really is
• 27:39
  Speaker 28: a lot of fun, but it is face-to-face as well,
• 27:41
  Speaker 28: which is what we love.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: That's President Kimberly McAdams speaking with WTAW. The event takes
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: place Sunday from 2 to 4 at the Larry J.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Ringer Library in College Station. Three members of the Texas
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: A & M Corps of Cadets have received the Cadet
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Lifesaving Award for their responses in separate emergencies. It's a
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: rare distinction presented only when a cadet's response demonstrates extraordinary
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: courage and a commitment to protecting the lives of others.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: In April, sophomore cadets Camila Ospina of Company K-1 and
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: David Berry of Company P-2 rushed to a man who
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: collapsed near Texas Avenue and stabilized him until medics could arrive.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Senior cadet Benjamin Claypole of Company E-1 came to the
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: aid of a woman who had been hit by a
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: vehicle while riding a moped. He used his shirt to
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: apply pressure to a wound until medical personnel arrived. For
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: the cadets, the recognition reflects more than their immediate response
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: in an emergency. It reflects the core values of selfless service, integrity,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: and leadership in action. A small number of Texas school
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: districts received a warning as they still refuse to post
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: the Ten Commandments in classrooms. Jonathan Covey with Texas Values
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: says they sent out a letter this week promising a
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: lawsuit if the posters are not hung.
• 28:52
  Speaker 22: The Fifth Circuit upheld this Ten Commandments law and that
• 28:55
  Speaker 22: a request for Supreme Court review does not put it
• 28:58
  Speaker 22: on hold. Pending litigation and other requests for appeal or
• 29:03
  Speaker 22: appellate review is not a reason to delay this law.
• 29:06
  Speaker 22: Continued refusal could lead to enforcement proceedings.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: The Supreme Court has weighed in about the Ten Commandments
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: in multiple cases. One of those includes a ruling that
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: a display at the Texas Capitol is constitutional. In the
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: governor's race, recent polls show the race between Gina Hinojosa
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: and Greg Abbott to be neck and neck. Hinojosa is
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: calling on Abbott to debate before Election Day.
• 29:28
  Speaker 29: Greg Abbott and myself have been invited to four debates.
• 29:32
  Speaker 29: He has hid from all four invitations. I have accepted
• 29:36
  Speaker 29: all four. He won't debate me because he can't defend
• 29:39
  Speaker 29: his independency.
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: Record.
• 29:41
  Speaker 29: And I believe that if he's not man enough to
• 29:43
  Speaker 29: debate me, that he doesn't deserve to be governor.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Abbott tells KXAS-TV that he doesn't think Texas voters want
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: a debate.
• 29:50
  Speaker 16: What I have learned by winning elections for governor, and
• 29:53
  Speaker 16: that is the most important thing we can do, is
• 29:55
  Speaker 16: to go to these communities, talk to the people of
• 29:59
  Speaker 16: Texas in their towns, let them talk to me personally.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: A poll released earlier this week by the Texas Politics
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Project showed Hinojosa with a slim lead in the race,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: but it is within the poll's margin of error. Attorney
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: General Ken Paxton is suing Gerber and its parent company
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Nestle over heavy metals in baby food. He says the
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: companies are deceiving parents. Gerber tells parents its food is safe,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: rigorously tested, and recommended by pediatricians. But Gerber's own test
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: results show dangerous levels of arsenic and lead. Those metals
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: are neurotoxins. Paxton says when a company makes promises about
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: what parents feed their babies, I will hold them accountable
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: to ensure those promises are kept. Paxton brings the claims
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. Staggering amounts are
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: being spent on campaign advertisements as the race for an
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: open U.S. Senate seat here in Texas demands attention.
• 30:51
  Speaker 30: We are just two and a half weeks away from
• 30:53
  Speaker 30: Election Day, and this race here in Texas, it's getting
• 30:57
  Speaker 30: more competitive and tighter and really a whole lot more expensive.
• 31:00
  Speaker 30: We're talking about a half a billion dollars being poured
• 31:03
  Speaker 30: into these political ads, with Republicans outspending Democrats tremendously. three
• 31:07
  Speaker 30: to one. Democrat James Tallarico pressed on his past positions
• 31:11
  Speaker 30: as he tries to appeal to moderate voters, including his
• 31:14
  Speaker 30: comments calling God non-binary. And on voter ID, another change.
• 31:18
  Speaker 30: In a 2021 Fox News interview, Tallarico said he opposed
• 31:22
  Speaker 30: voter ID, but now he says he supports it. And
• 31:25
  Speaker 30: the battle for the Senate seat is now breaking spending records.
• 31:29
  Speaker 30: More than half a billion dollars in combined ad spending
• 31:32
  Speaker 30: and reservations across the primary, runoff, and general election.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: That's Fox's Brooke Taylor from Dallas. The Real Clear Politics
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: polling average shows Tallarico about 2.3 percentage points ahead of

• 32:26
  Speaker 32: I try to think beyond today. I ask myself, what

  Speaker 11: 1620-945-WTAW. Good morning, guys. Phone number, text number 979-695-1620. If
• 35:04
  Speaker 11: you want to hit us up, please do. Love seeing
• 35:06
  Speaker 11: your text messages. Love getting your phone calls. I'm going
• 35:08
  Speaker 11: to ask you all a question. Feel free to respond.
• 35:12
  Speaker 11: Dusty first. Do you have a horrific standard, an example
• 35:17
  Speaker 11: of a horrific standard of behavior that has become normal
• 35:23
  Speaker 11: in modern society?
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: A horrific standard?
• 35:27
  Speaker 11: I want to go common. Common horrific standards. Do you
• 35:30
  Speaker 11: have an example of this? that comes to mind immediately.
• 35:34
  Speaker 11: If you have one that you want to share, we
• 35:36
  Speaker 11: will cover many of them, I'm sure, 979-695-1620. This is
• 35:40
  Speaker 11: from a piece online where they have aggregated several from
• 35:45
  Speaker 11: just people posting them on the internet. So I think
• 35:48
  Speaker 11: we have a good bit to work off of, but
• 35:51
  Speaker 11: some of you probably have some that just drive you crazy,
• 35:55
  Speaker 11: that you see every single day and wonder, how did
• 35:58
  Speaker 11: we get here?
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, we already talked about one. Why does
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: everyone need to talk about their politics, whether I want
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: to hear it or not? Why do I run into
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: a stranger that wants to tell me about their politics, right?
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: Within 30 seconds.
• 36:14
  Speaker 11: And yes, that is up there. That is up there significantly.
• 36:20
  Speaker 11: In general, many people have different variations on this of
• 36:24
  Speaker 11: just rudeness. Just rudeness in general. And they go on,
• 36:31
  Speaker 11: this one goes on to say, I don't like it
• 36:32
  Speaker 11: when people lie, but that also doesn't mean you can,
• 36:34
  Speaker 11: you can just, just say whatever's on your mind. So
• 36:37
  Speaker 11: just blunt truth where it is not required, which they
• 36:43
  Speaker 11: say is now the standard of behavior, which is interesting.
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: I don't think I run into that a lot. And I, I,
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: in my daily, in my daily life, Do I run
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: into someone rude? Yeah, probably. But would I say that
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: that's the general behavior that I see out there? I
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: would say no.
• 37:02
  Speaker 11: People are generally pre-educated. This could vary wildly based on
• 37:05
  Speaker 11: where you live.
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: That's probably true, but generally I run into people who
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: are nice.
• 37:10
  Speaker 11: Public schools using electronics as their main teaching tools instead
• 37:14
  Speaker 11: of real paper books is one.
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: Which I.
• 37:21
  Speaker 11: You could dive down this rabbit hole all you want to.
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: Which is fine. It's well worth doing. I think there
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: probably is too much screen time for kids, but how
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: in the world could you possibly, as a school, ignore
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: the fact that the world revolves around the screen?
• 37:40
  Speaker 11: And that is the expectation.
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: The rest of your adult life is going to be
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: on a computer, on a phone.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: I mean, it just is.
• 37:50
  Speaker 31: Yeah.
• 37:50
  Speaker 34: I mean.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: Look, there was a time when we came to work here.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: And we never got on a computer.
• 37:56
  Speaker 11: No, we picked up, we had newspapers and magazines.
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: When I started working here, we had one computer down
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: the hall that we all shared with dial-up internet, right?
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: There was one.
• 38:07
  Speaker 11: We had a workstation.
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: We had a workstation.
• 38:09
  Speaker 11: The internet station.
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: Where the kitchen is now, because the kitchen used to
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: be around the corner.
• 38:14
  Speaker 13: Holy cow.
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: So where the kitchen is now, there was that one.
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: And you could hop on the dial-up internet there. It
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: was available. And check your AOL, and you got mail.
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: That was it. We didn't have that.
• 38:27
  Speaker 11: Another one.
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: Right now, we have about three computers for every human
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: being that works here.
• 38:31
  Speaker 11: Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I've got this one.
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: I've got this one.
• 38:33
  Speaker 11: I've got the two that are in my backpack, an iPad,
• 38:36
  Speaker 11: a cell phone. I've got enough to probably fly me
• 38:39
  Speaker 11: to the moon.
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: There are over 100 connected to the network up here
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: without personal devices being included.
• 38:45
  Speaker 11: Wow, that's insane. Another one. Refusing to clean up after
• 38:50
  Speaker 11: your dog or quiet your dog when they bark. In
• 38:55
  Speaker 11: a neighborhood.
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: So I don't live in a neighborhood. You live in
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: a neighborhood. You tell me.
• 39:02
  Speaker 11: The cleanup after your dog. I'm going to choose to
• 39:06
  Speaker 11: extend grace. At this moment. The cleanup after your dog.
• 39:10
  Speaker 11: I understand accidents happen. You're walking your dog. I forgot
• 39:14
  Speaker 11: my bag. What do I do? Do I come back
• 39:17
  Speaker 11: and get it?
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: Give you that.
• 39:20
  Speaker 11: Now where it becomes behavior.
• 39:22
  Speaker 23: Yes.
• 39:23
  Speaker 11: That's bad. I don't personally, I don't care if your
• 39:27
  Speaker 11: dog barks. That's kind of my thing. I don't care.
• 39:29
  Speaker 11: I know other people do, so I try.
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: If your dog barks all night, bring it in.
• 39:33
  Speaker 11: All night is one thing. I mean, come on. There's
• 39:36
  Speaker 11: flexibility there.
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: So, I mean, living in the country, you don't clean
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: up after your dog. They go out in the woods,
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: they come back, you're done.
• 39:45
  Speaker 11: Text message from Adam. People have become so inconsiderate of
• 39:48
  Speaker 11: others and selfish that they pass cars in no passing
• 39:50
  Speaker 11: zones and put people's lives at risk all the time,
• 39:53
  Speaker 11: like the triple fatality last week on 105. So a
• 39:55
  Speaker 11: general awful behavior on the roads, I'm going to just
• 39:58
  Speaker 11: rope that in because there's a lot of it. And yes,
• 40:00
  Speaker 11: we're all horrible out there.
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: And like right now, everyone's fairly good in the construction
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: zone on the highway. Every once in a while, you'll
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: get a guy that you know is doing 75 in
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: the other lane through. But what's crazy is the way
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: they act on the service roads, which are 45, and
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: they're going faster than the 60 miles an hour on
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: the highway past you on the service roads. That is
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: another one.
• 40:27
  Speaker 11: Commenting on the clothes someone wears. It's uncomfortable and rude.
• 40:31
  Speaker 11: I mean, how?
• 40:32
  Speaker 6: Usually it's– do people– It depends. If I walk in
• 40:36
  Speaker 6: and say– Like, wow, you look awful. What are you wearing?
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: Didn't have time to get dressed today? Just showed up
• 40:42
  Speaker 6: in your jam as well.
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: You know, I mean, maybe that's rude, but– If I
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: walk in and say, oh, that's a new shirt, or hey, Tucker,
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: I like the sweater.
• 40:50
  Speaker 11: Right, right, right.
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: What is that?
• 40:52
  Speaker 11: Overworking is one that's been sent in a few times. Look,
• 40:57
  Speaker 11: no one's doing that because they want to, okay?
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: I don't even know. What are we referring to here, overworking?
• 41:03
  Speaker 11: I remember hearing a bit about an older woman that
• 41:05
  Speaker 11: should have been nearing retirement, but she was working 70
• 41:07
  Speaker 11: hours a week at two jobs and applauding, and applauding
• 41:10
  Speaker 11: her hard American work ethic.
• 41:12
  Speaker 28: Okay.
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: Okay, cool.
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: She has to eat, dude.
• 41:17
  Speaker 11: If you don't like it, find another way.
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: Help her out then. Is she doing 70 hours a
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: week at a job she hates or is she doing
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: something she likes and that's what she chooses to spend
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: her time on? That's true. I think a lot of people,
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: maybe when you're young, you haven't found that job that's
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: not a job anymore. It stokes your passion. In general,
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: We come to work here because it's fun.
• 41:45
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: I think most people find a job that they enjoy
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: going to every day, and it's not a treachery.
• 41:52
  Speaker 11: It becomes a passion.
• 41:53
  Speaker 35: Right.
• 41:53
  Speaker 11: Yeah. You like being there. It fulfills something for you.
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: Right. Who knows? I would have never thought. Do I
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: work as many hours now as I did when I
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: was 22? Probably not.
• 42:07
  Speaker 11: No. Bad driving has started, according to this. Because they
• 42:13
  Speaker 11: took driver's ed out of schools because parents don't teach it.
• 42:15
  Speaker 11: It is interesting.
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: You still teach.
• 42:17
  Speaker 11: They still have driver's ed. And by the way, people,
• 42:21
  Speaker 11: I went to driver's ed, and there were horrible drivers
• 42:24
  Speaker 11: when I was a teenager as well. That didn't just
• 42:27
  Speaker 11: show up one day.
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: So it kind of depends. Like my oldest, during that
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: time frame that she got her driver's license, you did
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: not have to pass a driving test to get a license.
• 42:39
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: You literally, you had to, you had to turn in
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: paperwork that your parents taught you how to drive and
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: you had to pass the written test and they handed
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: you a driver's license.
• 42:50
  Speaker 11: Wait, what?
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 42:52
  Speaker 11: When did this happen? I mean, I know, I know
• 42:55
  Speaker 11: I've been, I'm a little out of touch when it
• 42:57
  Speaker 11: comes to the teens, but my God, that's a dramatic change.
• 43:00
  Speaker 11: You just show up, you do the paperwork, you turn
• 43:03
  Speaker 11: in the test and boom.
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: Probably 20 years ago in Texas, they stopped doing, a
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: little over 20 years ago, they stopped doing driving tests. Now,
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: it didn't last very long when they went.
• 43:15
  Speaker 11: Yeah, that's horrible.
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: So she was in that time frame where they went,
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: you know what, maybe, maybe, just maybe, we should put
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: this 16-year-old in a car.
• 43:27
  Speaker 11: I need to see proof of concept of you in
• 43:30
  Speaker 11: a vehicle before I can sign off on this.
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: But I will tell you. all my other kids, none
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: of them took the test with a DPS officer at
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: the driver's license office.
• 43:42
  Speaker 19: Really?
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: So like, like when I was growing up, that was
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: the only option.
• 43:46
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 43:46
  Speaker 11: You had to go to the, you had to go,
• 43:48
  Speaker 11: you had to go down to.
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: The DPS and you know, here I am trying to
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: parallel park a 1978 Ford LTD that, you know, barely
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: fits between the two poles. They want me to put
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: it in to begin with, you know, trying to pass
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: this driving test, but all my, All my other children,
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: they have it now where you can take your driving
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: test with the driving school.
• 44:10
  Speaker 14: Really?
• 44:11
  Speaker 11: So it's just, we just sign off on it. Hey,
• 44:13
  Speaker 11: they said it's cool.
• 44:14
  Speaker 14: Yep.
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: They said you're good. You take the paperwork down to
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: the DPS, you get a driver's license. Now, I mean,
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: They're going to be held accountable to an extent, but
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: it's not the same thing as sitting in the car
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: with a DPS officer.
• 44:28
  Speaker 11: An officer of the state certifying that you know what
• 44:31
  Speaker 11: you're doing.
• 44:32
  Speaker 34: Yep.
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: Different.
• 44:33
  Speaker 11: Shannon, what about people driving slow than speeding up when
• 44:36
  Speaker 11: I'm passing them? Yeah, fairly deplorable. Fairly deplorable.
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: That is a bad.
• 44:40
  Speaker 11: Tony, I live on 130 acres.
• 44:41
  Speaker 16: Man.
• 44:41
  Speaker 22: Okay.
• 44:42
  Speaker 11: On my daughter's next door on her 20 acres.
• 44:44
  Speaker 31: Okay.
• 44:44
  Speaker 14: Okay.
• 44:49
  Speaker 11: Her dog comes to my yard to poop. Good dog
• 44:52
  Speaker 11: or bad dog? That's the question.
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: You've got 130 acres. Is it coming to your house?
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: Is it by your porch? Or is it, you know,
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: is it a quarter mile out, right? I mean, what
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: are we talking about? Come on now.
• 45:05
  Speaker 11: We're back after this.
• 45:06
  Speaker 21: Hi, this is Jim Daly with Focus on the Family.
• 45:09
  Speaker 21: And I want to thank Drs. James and Maria Childs
• 45:12
  Speaker 21: of Childs Dermatology for bringing the Focus on the Family
• 45:15
  Speaker 21: Minute to you each morning.
• 45:17

• 45:20

• 45:48
  Speaker 21: I'm surprised by how many parents think of their children
• 45:51
  Speaker 21: like a sugar cookie, meaning it's a recipe. You use
• 45:55
  Speaker 21: the same ingredients every time, and all the cookies come
• 45:58
  Speaker 21: out the same, right? Well, that strategy works well in
• 46:01
  Speaker 21: the kitchen, but not in parenting. Children are individuals. They
• 46:05
  Speaker 21: don't all share the same talents and aptitudes. Just because
• 46:09
  Speaker 21: Lisa is capable of straight A's, that doesn't mean you
• 46:12
  Speaker 21: can expect her sister to achieve the same. And Tommy
• 46:16
  Speaker 21: may be a great athlete, but John might be a
• 46:18
  Speaker 21: good musician. Treating each child the same makes sense to
• 46:22
  Speaker 21: us because we think we're being fair. Well, it may
• 46:25
  Speaker 21: be fair, but it's not terribly effective. Each child needs
• 46:29
  Speaker 21: to be handled a little differently by their parent. Core
• 46:33
  Speaker 21: values like honesty or respectful behavior, well, they should be
• 46:36
  Speaker 21: expected of everyone in the home. But that still leaves
• 46:39
  Speaker 21: plenty of room to tailor your expectations to your child's personality.
• 46:43
  Speaker 21: Push some children to work harder in school, and they'll
• 46:46
  Speaker 21: rise to the challenge. Push others, and they'll struggle even more.
• 46:50
  Speaker 21: Some kids thrive under rules and discipline, while others rebel
• 46:54
  Speaker 21: at the slightest hint of discipline. You have to know
• 46:58
  Speaker 21: your kids.
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: Dr.
• 46:59
  Speaker 21: Tim Elmore once told me that's why he likes to
• 47:02
  Speaker 21: play chess, not checkers, with his children. He said, when
• 47:05
  Speaker 21: you play checkers, every piece is alike. With chess, you
• 47:09
  Speaker 21: have to know what each piece can do. That's parenting.

  Speaker 24: Every day I speak with people who are worried and

• 47:45
  Speaker 24: what they were paying before. Most of our members end
• 47:48
  Speaker 24: up saving thousands and even may improve their credit scores
• 47:52
  Speaker 24: by as much as 200 points. I know from the
• 47:55
  Speaker 24: bottom of my heart that I'm making a difference in
• 47:58
  Speaker 24: the lives of the people we help. It just makes
• 48:01
  Speaker 24: me really happy.

  Speaker 32: This is Brian Mayer, Bobby Gutierrez. When I make a decision,
• 50:53
  Speaker 32: I try to think beyond today. I ask myself, what
• 50:55
  Speaker 32: will this mean for Brian 10, 20, even 50 years

  Speaker 32: from now? That's why we're investing in infrastructure, public safety,
• 51:01
  Speaker 32: economic development, and opportunities for the next generation. We have

• 52:14
  Speaker 25: A & M soccer team recorded their first clean sheet
• 52:16
  Speaker 25: against the Florida Gators with a 0-0 stalemate at Ellis Field.
• 52:21
  Speaker 25: Up next, the Aggies return to Ellis Field to host
• 52:24
  Speaker 25: the LSU Tigers on Sunday afternoon with first kick set
• 52:27
  Speaker 25: for 2 o'clock. The Aggie football team is back at
• 52:30
  Speaker 25: Kyle Field tomorrow afternoon gearing up to host the Citadel.
• 52:34
  Speaker 25: And head coach Mike Elko met with the media to
• 52:36
  Speaker 25: talk about one area that he is confident in ahead
• 52:39
  Speaker 25: of going into this week's game.
• 52:41
  Speaker 15: I think the biggest confidence I take is, and again,
• 52:44
  Speaker 15: I've been part of bad seasons where things splinter and
• 52:49
  Speaker 15: fracture and the locker room gets divided and the offense
• 52:53
  Speaker 15: and the defense are fighting or the wide receivers and
• 52:55
  Speaker 15: the quarterback are fighting or the staff is pulling apart
• 52:59
  Speaker 15: from each other. What gives me confidence is that none
• 53:01
  Speaker 15: of that is happening. What gives me confidence is that
• 53:04
  Speaker 15: for the most part, our kids are showing up in
• 53:07
  Speaker 15: the right frame of mind and the right mindset to
• 53:09
  Speaker 15: go to work.
• 53:10
  Speaker 25: Kickoff for A & M' s game against the Citadel is
• 53:12
  Speaker 25: set for noon. The Aggie volleyball team is also back
• 53:16
  Speaker 25: at Reed Arena tonight hosting the Florida Gators. Ahead of
• 53:19
  Speaker 25: tonight's game, head coach Jamie Morrison spoke about what his
• 53:22
  Speaker 25: team has been doing to prepare for tonight's game.
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: The thing I told the team was just we need
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: to make sure we, one, get healthy, and two, make
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: sure that we're pointed in the right direction. And I
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: think the craziest thing about the SEC this year is
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: one of my staff members was telling me this more
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: in the front of the bus, and I literally had
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: to shake myself to realize it's true, but if we
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: win out, we still win the SEC, which is a
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: crazy thing ahead of us that we have a possibility
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: and a road to having control over that. I also
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: told our team this, I wouldn't be disappointed if I
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: didn't have belief, and I do have belief that this
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: group is good enough to go do great things this year.
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: My second part of it is we have a really
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: tough Florida team here on Friday, and it's a really
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: cool opportunity for people to come out and support.
• 54:01
  Speaker 25: First serve for tonight's game is set for 6 o'clock.
• 54:04
  Speaker 25: The Aggie baseball team is also back at Olsen Field
• 54:07
  Speaker 25: and gearing up to host McNeese tonight for their final
• 54:10
  Speaker 25: exhibition game of the fall. First pitch for tonight's game
• 54:13
  Speaker 25: is set for 7 o'clock. In high school football, Bryan
• 54:17
  Speaker 25: fell 73-7 to Harker Heights. College Station is hitting the
