  Speaker 3: millions of dollars into this state. to try to defame me,
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: to try to defeat this movement that we're building. And

  Speaker 3: And I'm trying not to get into the mud. I'm
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: trying to stay focused on my opponent's record.

• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, because this feels, this felt right when I
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: was leaving the house.
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: Well, it's getting there. I noticed somebody watered the highway.
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: But the wind is blowing. It is as warm as
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: it's going to be right now.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Yes, it is right now. This is as good as
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: it gets if you like the warmth.

  Speaker 2: That's correct. Dusty and down to 14.9 degrees tonight.
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: So I'll happily walk to the old Coke cabinet and
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: grab one.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is, you know, look at it this way.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: If you're going to be going out early. It's a
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: little optimistic to be pulling out the cardigans and the
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: sweaters or whatever, but like later in the day, oh,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: you're going to be right at home. Love to see it.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: By the way, that's the weekend. It's just, you know,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: maybe 70s for eyes. and then down to the 40s
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: at night.

  Speaker 6: I believe I saw kick time tomorrow around 60 degrees
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: for the game.
• 4:25
  Speaker 7: Oh!
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: That's just how you like it.
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, actual football weather. That's just how you like it.

• 4:49
  Speaker 2: is living his best life in Oxford, Mississippi currently as
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: he prepares to go to, I don't know what he's
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: doing today. I know he's going to, he said he's
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: doing the Grove and then attempting, he says, to go
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: to the game for Ole Miss versus Mizzou, which, you know,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know if he's going to make it. And
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: the reason why is he's already texting pictures to me,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: which I will share on the socials. First of all,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: based on this text message, I was currently listening. He
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: texted me a picture of, as I show you here,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: him at a Waffle House at 526 AM. Is it
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: necessary to go to the Waffle House? It might be.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: This is the fancy Waffle House, keep in mind. So, yeah,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Will is in his happy place today, which means Dusty
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: is here. Dusty also revealed.
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: So, definitely get the... Get the hash browns covered.
• 5:47
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
• 5:47
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Smothered and covered. All the, you know, absolutely.
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: And topped.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. See, that's the thing. I don't go enough
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: to know all of the insider slang and lingo because
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: I've never been in an environment.
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: So topped is where they pour that chili that you
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: don't know where it came.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: From on top. It's just grease. The world's best grease.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Grease that you could bottle and sell at wine prices
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: probably if you want to. Good Lord. It's, it's, yeah,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: it's just, I've never, I'd like, every time I've been
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: to Waffle House, I've enjoyed it, but it's just, there's
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: only so many times you can go and it's always
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: a two hour drive. Like even in Houston, San Antonio,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: it's okay. You know, it's like, you gotta, you gotta
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: move around a little while to find some of these things,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: but I don't know.
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: I won't go out of my way to go to one,
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: but if I'm traveling somewhere that has one.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's a quick stop. That's an easy, easy decision.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Dusty also revealed that he doesn't listen to this part
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: of the show.
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: I don't. It's too early for me.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: It's been months since Dusty. You don't wake up. When
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: do you wake up?
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: Oh, I'm awake. I just don't turn the show on.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: You're just not listening to us.
• 6:49
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: You know what?
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: That's fine, dude. I understand.
• 6:51
  Speaker 11: I understand.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: He was wondering if we still do the song and
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: whether he's info or mation, which I said neither anymore
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: because there's only two of us. So we just talk.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: We just, yeah.
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: Info.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Mation there. That makes you comfortable. That's what we're here for.
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: It's just part of it, right? I mean, it's been,
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: it's happened so long. It only takes two people to
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: be in Poemation. I feel a little.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Awkward every time we don't sing, because I feel like
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: I'm breaking like a 50-year tradition or something. But, oh,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Will says scattered, covered, smothered. So, yeah.
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: See, yeah, listen at Waffle House the way God intended.
• 7:29
  Speaker 12: Hi, I'm Heather Simmon. To continue building on the successes
• 7:32
  Speaker 12: we've seen over the past three years, I'm running for
• 7:34
  Speaker 12: re-election for College Station School Board. From increased academic achievement,
• 7:38
  Speaker 12: gains in college career and military readiness, to our fine arts, athletics,
• 7:41

• 7:44
  Speaker 12: more opportunities so our students are prepared when they graduate
• 7:47
  Speaker 12: and have a clear path forward. I will take the
• 7:49
  Speaker 12: fight to Austin to ensure our district gets the funding
• 7:51
  Speaker 12: we deserve. Let's keep CSISD the place where families and
• 7:53

  Speaker 15: Ask your neighbor.

  Speaker 2: We probably fixed hers. Sovac City on.
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: The feeder road between Deacon and Rock Prairie.
• 9:28
  Speaker 15: Come on down and see us.

• 9:59
  Speaker 11: Let's get you rolling.
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: Ranchers, it's time to start thinking about your fall and
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: winter pastures. Producers Cooperative Agronomy Department can blend rye, oats,
• 10:08

• 10:32
  Speaker 11: As a Texan, you deserve your court system to deliver
• 10:34
  Speaker 11: justice that is fair, understandable, and within reach. Chief Justice
• 10:39
  Speaker 11: Jimmy Blacklock says that starts with judges applying the law
• 10:42
  Speaker 11: as written, so the rules don't change depending on who
• 10:45
  Speaker 11: walks into the courtroom. But fairness also means a court
• 10:48
  Speaker 11: system that works for the people it serves. Blacklock has
• 10:51
  Speaker 11: called for reducing unnecessary delays and expenses, simplifying court procedures,
• 10:56
  Speaker 11: and making legal services more affordable. Because a case should
• 11:00
  Speaker 11: be decided on the facts and the law, not on
• 11:02
  Speaker 11: who can afford the longest fight. Texas courts belong to
• 11:06
  Speaker 11: the people. That means judges should be accountable. Rules should
• 11:09
  Speaker 11: be clear and the system should be accessible to those
• 11:12
  Speaker 11: who rely on it. For Blacklock, equal justice means more
• 11:16
  Speaker 11: than a principle. It means a court system Texans can understand,
• 11:20
  Speaker 11: trust and afford to use. Chief Justice Jimmy Blacklock. Clear rules.
• 11:25
  Speaker 11: Accountable courts. Equal justice under law.

  Speaker 2: 1620-945-WTAW. Tucker Dusty filling in for Will this morning. Thank
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: you so much.
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: Good morning.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: For helping me out today. And it's time for your
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: reasons to celebrate. Now, if you have anything you want
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: us to shout out for you, you can text us anytime, 979-695-1620.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: You can call us if you want. You can send
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: voice notes, whatever you want. Let's get started. I've been
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: chomping at the bit to inform the Brazos Valley that today,
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: on the 16th of October... We celebrate Global Cat Day.
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: I knew it.
• 12:19
  Speaker 21: Yeah.
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: Right at the top of the pile. I looked at
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: the list and I went, it's Tucker's Day.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Established by Alley Cat Allies. Global Cat Day promotes humane
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: treatment and protection of cats, particularly community cats. So feral
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: neighborhood cats.
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: How is your little kitten farm going?
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: It's going all right. It's going good. I've still got
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: several left.
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 12:44
  Speaker 17: Four.
• 12:44
  Speaker 11: Four.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: I think I predicted, I can't remember if you predicted
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: four or I predicted three, but it's still, you got
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: a few out the door, far more I don't think
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: are going to be leaving, so that's slightly concerning, but
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: you do become attached. Cats, domesticated through a long relationship
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: with humans, date back, that partnership dates back somewhere around 10,000 years,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: or it's thought to date back 10,000 years. 10,000 years,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: and it's still, it's still dicey at best. Let's be real.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: It's the only reason. I say this as someone who
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: loves cats, has a million of them. The only reason
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: they don't kill you is just because they're like a
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: foot tall.
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: That's it.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: That's the reason.
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: They're still plotting to kill you every single day.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Sometimes they will still attempt, even at one foot tall,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: and look like attacking a dinosaur.
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: And they'll go straight from... Hey, give me a belly
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: rub to I want to kill you.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Zero to a million. They did that thing where they
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: lock in, they grab you, and then they start kicking
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: with their back claws and kill biting. And that's how
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: they show love, by the way. For what it's worth,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: a group of cats, do you know what it's called?
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: I always just call it a coven because it feels
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: like that's what you would call a clowder.
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: A clowder.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: A clowder of cats.
• 14:07
  Speaker 22: Huh.
• 14:08
  Speaker 23: Yeah.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Never.
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: I don't think I've ever heard that term.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: When I learned something about cats, I'm going to assume
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: everyone else just learned something about cats today because I
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: had no clue. No, no, no.
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: I knew dogs. I clowder of cats.
• 14:21
  Speaker 24: All right.
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: So that works out because it's also learn a word
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: day and we just clowder. Nice.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Also, Bosses Day, National Bosses Day. This is a good
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: time for us to all get together and decide what
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: we're going to do about this. Not necessarily you and
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: me for area leader Ben Downs, but just in general.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: How does one celebrate Bosses Day?
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: Call in sick.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: I'm one of those people who believes if you do
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: your job well, you celebrate boss's day every day. You
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: are a gift to your employees.
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: But, you know, if you want to test him, hey,
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: how do you work without me today? Yeah. My gift
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: to you is I won't come down to your office.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Also, Steve Jobs Day.
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: They named it Steve Jobs Day actually like 10 days
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: after he passed away, which is back in 2011. But
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: the fact that it falls on Bosses Day is an
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: interesting question. You know, Steve Jobs was obviously– You know,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: he gave us the masters of our lives, our little
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: phones and our Macs.
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: He gave us our digital chain.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Our digital prison that we all find ourselves in every
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: single day. So he was an important man. He was
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: also a monster, an absolute unmitigated monster to work for.
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: So speaking of that, did you ever hear the story
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: of the very first? It was the iPod before it
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: was the iPhone.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the iPod.
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: And they brought it to him. The very first one.
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: They spent all that time prototyping.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Years, probably. Life's work type stuff.
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: He took it. He walked over to the fish tank.
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: He threw it in. He said, look, there's bubbles coming out.
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: There's room for you to make that smaller. Go back.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: See what I mean? Monster. So the question's been brought
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: up a few different times. And I'm always fascinated by it.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: If you had the choice, would you rather work for
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: a boss who is incredibly brilliant and incredibly difficult... Or
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: just kind of average, but everyone likes him?
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: Depends on the day, right? Depends on what you're in
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: the mood for. Do I want a challenge today? Because,
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: I mean, if you worked for a guy like a
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: Steve Jobs or an Elon Musk, who?
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Nick Saban, even.
• 16:42
  Speaker 21: Right?
• 16:42
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: You would learn a ton, but there would also be
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: a limit. Yeah. Where you're ready to spread your wings
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: and move on.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: There's a line, and no one knows where it is,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: but you will find it while you are working for
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: that man. By the way.
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: Man, you would have gotten something out of the relationship
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: during the time, but you will have had enough at
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: some point. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Have you heard the Elon Musk news?
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: Which news is that?
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Wonderful. Don't look for it because I need to get
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: through this stuff so we can discuss it.
• 17:17
  Speaker 23: All right.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: National Mammography Day. Obviously, October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month,
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: a day to remind everyone, all women, that mammograms are
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: a great thing to schedule this time of year. And
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: that's all I got for holidays.
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: Well, it's also sports day.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: See, I passed on sports days. I felt like that's
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: overkill on a Friday before SEC football.
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: It really is, but it's Friday, and it's also liquor day.
• 17:47
  Speaker 25: No, no, no.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: You read that wrong. Read it again.
• 17:50
  Speaker 11: Liquor.
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: Day no wow tomato tomato tomato tomato one.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: One's infinitely more serious than the other one will help
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: you get over a season of aggie football much quicker
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: than the other but yes thank you for the additions
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: birthdays what do.

• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Grey's has been going on for like 30 years now.
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: And on top of that- Has it really been that long?
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: 25 at least.
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: I know it felt that long. I didn't know if
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: it was really that long.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: But here's the thing, like it's gone on so long
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: that whenever I watch it, they'll drop a trailer for it.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: And I was like, has anyone asked what is, like
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: why Seattle is the most dangerous place on earth in
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: the Grey's Anatomy universe? According to the Grey's Anatomy universe,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: God hates Seattle. Like, every disaster known to man has
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: happened in Seattle in the Grey's Anatomy multiverse over the
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: course of that show. And it's just gotten to the
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: point where I can't suspend disbelief anymore. It's a problem.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: We might need to retire it. Sorry.

• 24:41
  Speaker 18: And online predators are creating new threats for our children
• 24:45
  Speaker 18: every day. As a father, Paul Dyson knows how dangerous
• 24:49
  Speaker 18: these platforms can be. That's why he passed a law
• 24:52
  Speaker 18: stopping big tech and predators from targeting Texas children. And
• 24:56
  Speaker 18: he passed legislation blocking AI from being used as a
• 24:58
  Speaker 18: weapon against our kids. State Representative Paul Dyson is protecting

  Speaker 18: our kids and keeping Texas strong and safe. Political ad

  Speaker 1: From the WTAW Newsroom, I'm Jeanette Menchal. The League of
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Women Voters is hosting Speed Dating with the Candidates this weekend.
• 25:20
  Speaker 31: The way it's set up is voters will be at
• 25:24
  Speaker 31: different tables based on whether we'll have some tables for
• 25:27
  Speaker 31: College Station voters and tables for Bryan voters. And then
• 25:32
  Speaker 31: the candidates will be rotating from table to table on
• 25:36
  Speaker 31: a pretty quick schedule. And so it really is a
• 25:39
  Speaker 31: lot of fun, but it is face-to-face as well, which
• 25:42
  Speaker 31: is what we love.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: That's President Kimberly McAdams speaking with WTAW. The event takes
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: place Sunday from 2 to 4 at the Larry J.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Ringer Library in College Station. Three members of the Texas
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: A & M Corps of Cadets have received the Cadet
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Lifesaving Award for their responses in separate emergencies. It's a
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: rare distinction presented only when a cadet's response demonstrates extraordinary
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: courage and a commitment to protecting the lives of others.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: In April, sophomore cadets Camila Ospina of Company K-1 and
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: David Berry of Company P-2 rushed to a man who
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: collapsed near Texas Avenue and stabilized him until medics could arrive.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Senior cadet Benjamin Claypole of Company E-1 came to the
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: aid of a woman who had been hit by a
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: vehicle while riding a moped. He used his shirt to
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: apply pressure to a wound until medical personnel arrived. For
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: the cadets, the recognition reflects more than their immediate response
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: in an emergency situation. It reflects the core values of
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: selfless service, integrity, and leadership in action. A small number
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: of Texas school districts received a warning as they still
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: refuse to post the Ten Commandments in classrooms. Jonathan Covey
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: with Texas Values says they sent out a letter this
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: week promising a lawsuit if the posters are not hung.
• 26:52
  Speaker 32: The Fifth Circuit upheld this Ten Commandments law and that
• 26:55
  Speaker 32: a request for Supreme Court review does not put it
• 26:58
  Speaker 32: on hold. Pending litigation and other requests for appeal or
• 27:03
  Speaker 32: appellate review is not a reason to delay this law.
• 27:06
  Speaker 32: Continued refusal could lead to enforcement proceedings.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: The Supreme Court has weighed in about the Ten Commandments
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: in multiple cases. One of those includes a ruling that
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: a display at the Texas Capitol is constitutional. In the
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: governor's race, recent polls show the race between Gina Hinojosa
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: and Greg Abbott to be neck and neck. Hinojosa is
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: calling on Abbott to debate before Election Day.
• 27:28
  Speaker 33: Greg Abbott and myself have been invited to four debates.
• 27:32
  Speaker 33: He has hid from all four invitations. I have accepted
• 27:36
  Speaker 33: all four. He won't debate me because he can't defend
• 27:39
  Speaker 33: his indefensible record. And I believe that if he's not
• 27:42
  Speaker 33: man enough to debate me, that he doesn't deserve to
• 27:44
  Speaker 33: be governor.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Abbott tells KXAS-TV that he doesn't think Texas voters want
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: a debate.
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: What I have learned by winning elections for governor, and
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: that is the most important thing we can do, is
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: to go to these communities. Talk to the people of
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: Texas in their towns. Let them talk to me personally.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: A poll released earlier this week by the Texas Politics
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Project showed Hinojosa with a slim lead in the race,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: but it is within the poll's margin of error. Attorney
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: General Ken Paxton is suing Gerber and its parent company
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Nestle over heavy metals in baby food. He says the
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: companies are deceiving parents. Gerber tells parents its food is safe,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: rigorously tested, and recommended by pediatricians. But Gerber's own test
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: results show dangerous levels of arsenic and lead. Those metals
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: are neurotoxins. Paxton says when a company makes promises about
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: what parents feed their babies... I will hold them accountable
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: to ensure those promises are kept. Paxton brings the claims
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. Staggering amounts are
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: being spent on campaign advertisements as the race for an

  Speaker 1: open U.S. Senate seat here in Texas demands attention.
• 28:51
  Speaker 9: We are just two and a half weeks away from
• 28:53
  Speaker 9: Election Day, and this race here in Texas, it's getting
• 28:57
  Speaker 9: more competitive and tighter and really a whole lot more expensive.
• 29:00
  Speaker 9: We're talking about a half a billion dollars being poured
• 29:03
  Speaker 9: into these political ads, with Republicans outspending Democrats three to one.
• 29:08
  Speaker 9: Democrat James Tallarico pressed on his past positions as he
• 29:11
  Speaker 9: tries to appeal to moderate voters, including his comments calling
• 29:15
  Speaker 9: God non-binary. And on voter ID, another change. In a
• 29:19
  Speaker 9: 2021 Fox News interview, Tallarico said he opposed voter ID,
• 29:23
  Speaker 9: but now he says he supports it. And the battle
• 29:26
  Speaker 9: for the Senate seat is now breaking spending records. More
• 29:29
  Speaker 9: than half a billion dollars in combined ad spending and
• 29:32
  Speaker 9: reservations across the primary, runoff, and general election.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: That's Fox's Brooke Taylor from Dallas. The Real Clear Politics
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: polling average shows Telerico about 2.3 percentage points ahead of
• 29:44

  Speaker 2: Infomaniacs featuring Dusty today.
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: Good morning.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: And it's starting to get a little brisk in here, Dusty.
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: I like it.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: As the winds chill the studio from the outside.
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: Fall is here until like Monday.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is. And temperatures are falling. Be into the
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: 60s and eventually the 50s. Overnight and down to the
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: 40s for a low.
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: And it's going to feel cooler than the 60s with
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: that north wind blowing this afternoon.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Now, for game day tomorrow, kickoff temperature is projected.
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: 60.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: 60 degrees.
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: Beautiful.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Couldn't do better.
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: Going to warm up to about. Low 70s.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: Low 70s for highs through Monday. But next few days

  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Facebook.com slash WTAW 1620, I believe. Don't
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: hold me to that.
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: I got it.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay. Go past Will's picture because I wanted to
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: share that with the people too this morning. And you
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: will see a video. I want you to click play
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: on the video. Mute your computer while you do, please.
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: I'm watching it.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: Flying car. I like it.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Guys, we got a flying car yesterday.
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: Well, it was more of a falling car that didn't
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: fall all the way to the ground.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: That's just the clip that I shared. I want you
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: to go ahead and Google Tesla kickflip and watch what
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: video comes up. So what Elon did And I had
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: to do research on this because, frankly, when I watched
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: the video, I thought it was fake. I thought this
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: was AI.
• 33:51
  Speaker 6: So it looks like a Tesla that's got rocket boosters
• 33:54
  Speaker 6: in it to kind of throw it off the ground.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: You know the thing that lets him land when the
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: rocket comes back down and sticks the landing?
• 34:02
  Speaker 30: Right.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: He put him in a car. So what you will
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: see in one video, which is the one that I
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: think is the most prevalent, at least this morning, is...
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: kind of like the Hot Wheels track thing that you
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: had when you were a kid. He drives the car
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: up it, and somehow, I'm not sure how he does this,
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: this is the part that actually there's some trickery involved,
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: it sticks to the road all the way up, even when.
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: It's upside down, and then it backs all.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: The way back down, it goes up and down. The
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: clip that you have is where he goes all the
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: way up it, launches it off the end, it falls,
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: and then.
• 34:40
  Speaker 6: It turns over.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: It turns over, writes itself like a cat. And then
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: hovers for a bit, flies for a bit, and then lands.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: That's the clip that you have. Now, there's another clip.
• 34:52
  Speaker 6: If the Dukes of Hazzard had had this technology.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: What could we have done with it? What would the
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: possibilities be? So the other clip is where he drives it.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: Someone drives it. At the entire line of Teslas, which
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: is every car Tesla currently sells.
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: Including the 18-wheeler.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: Including the 18-wheeler. And then at full speed, and then
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: the rocket boosters go off, launches it into the air,
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: does a 360.
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: 360 roll.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: Roll, rights itself, and then lands.
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: It's pretty spectacular. I don't know what the usefulness of
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: that is, but it's fun. I would totally take a
• 35:36
  Speaker 6: ride in one.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: The only thing I can think of is, okay, what
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: if you had the ability to, if you were approaching
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: a crash, the car could all of a sudden launch
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: itself over the crash. And that's great, but you don't
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: know where it's coming down. But I guess if it flies,
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: it doesn't really matter. You just fly it until you're
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: satisfied that you can set it back down on the ground.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: The other thing is those rocket boosters... They're also on
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: the back, too.
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: So. So you need a little boost from the start line.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: You got it. You got it. The car will accelerate
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: zero to 60 in sub one second. Point eight six
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: seconds to go.
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: You will know it's moving.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: You will.
• 36:21
  Speaker 23: You will.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: Your skin will fly off of your face. And if
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: you are still alive. At the end of that acceleration,
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: you will have a story to tell. He did all
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: of this. And so three different versions, according to the internet.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: One that doesn't do any of it. It's just the car.
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: 50 grand.
• 36:42
  Speaker 30: Okay.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: Allegedly. Version that does some of the fly stuff. Quarter milli.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: And then the one that allegedly does everything that you see.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: no price listed, and you have to apply to get one.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: So take it however you want to take it. I am,
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: this is, that's how incredible the video is, guys. I
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: don't believe it. I just don't believe it.
• 37:12
  Speaker 6: How disappointing would it be to get the one that
• 37:14
  Speaker 6: does none of this now that I've watched the video?
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: Well, you don't really care as a Tesla owner. You
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: just want them to, it's kind of like conceal carry.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: You don't need to deploy the flying car. You just
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: need your neighbor to think that you're rich enough to
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: deploy the flying car.
• 37:31
  Speaker 6: And what kind of fuel does it take to send
• 37:34
  Speaker 6: the rocket?
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: Great question, Dusty. I'm glad you asked. It's compressed air.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: It will need to be refilled. So you can only...
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: which is dangerous.
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: So can we get that for $ 350 or $ 450 at
• 37:46
  Speaker 6: the gas station? Exactly.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: You got to take it to the Tessie shop, Dusty.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: You got to take it to the Tesla dealership.
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: Will there be one at Bucky's?
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: You know, I get nervous when the empty gauge on
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: my gas gets a little bit low. I cannot imagine
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: what it would look like if you paid... God knows
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: how much for the flying car. And you just look
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: down and like, ooh, the compressed air is running a
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: little light today.
• 38:16
  Speaker 6: So right out this window, which my office window faces
• 38:19
  Speaker 6: the same way, I watch these cars sit over here.
• 38:23
  Speaker 6: there's Tesla charging station right next to Cooper's.
• 38:26
  Speaker 35: Yeah.
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: And I watched these people pull up, plug their car and.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: Sit there for a second, maybe get some barbecues.
• 38:31
  Speaker 31: Yeah.
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: Maybe, maybe not. Maybe work from their car, maybe take
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: a nap. I'm not sure what they're doing. They stay
• 38:37
  Speaker 6: there for a little while.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: It's like half an hour and all of the above
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: is the answer to the question of what do you
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: do while you charge that car?
• 38:44
  Speaker 6: So can we get the rocket booster recharge right next
• 38:47
  Speaker 6: to that?
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, please, please. All I'm going to say is again, I,
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: I am going to just believe it as it is prescribed.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: I am going to say, okay, we did it after what,
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: what years can.
• 39:04
  Speaker 6: We get this in a cyber truck?
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine the cyber truck get more obnoxious?
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: Can we get some rocket boosters in a cyber truck?
• 39:15
  Speaker 6: I just want to know.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: It's been 40 years since I was promised the, uh,
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: the flying car 40 years. Uh, and so from that aspect, I'm,
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: I'm happy from the other aspect. The fact that everyone
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: who is my age that grew up watching Back to
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: the Future makes me suspicious that it's not actually real
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: because it's too. That's again, that's the fulfillment of the prophecy.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: It's everything we wanted. Minus the hoverboard. He ain't done
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: that yet.
• 39:43
  Speaker 6: For people my age, it's just about, hey, perfect that
• 39:47
  Speaker 6: technology of the self-driving car so when we can no
• 39:49
  Speaker 6: longer drive. We got one that we can still have personally. Yeah,
• 39:56
  Speaker 6: that happened in the movie, too. Old Biff.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: He couldn't drive. He had to get in the thing
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: to go to the future and do all that other stuff.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: That's what I want. I want to be 80 years
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: old and be able to hit the button and propel
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: myself from work to Miramont as the crow flies.
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: See what I'm saying?
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm going. Anyway, if you want to see
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: the clip that started the conversation, it's on the WTAW
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: Facebook page. But do some Googling because there's more of
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: them there. I'll probably just post a bunch of them
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: to WTW.com.
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you got to put this kickflip.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: The kickflip is the kickflip is the problem. Honestly, the
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: kickflip is probably wilder than the flying car video. But
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: it is shortly. Good night.
• 40:36
  Speaker 6: I totally want to drive in that.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: It's like, who do we know that's rich enough to
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: afford one that would just at least give us a.
• 40:43
  Speaker 6: Apparently Elon Musk, and that's it. Elon, dude, is he
• 40:47
  Speaker 6: here this week?
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: He said he was in Waco last night.
• 40:49
  Speaker 6: Larry Elder could get one. I mean, no, Larry Ellis.
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: 9796951620, if you just happen to be within the range, friend.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying, I didn't call you a liar. I
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: just said I would like to see more I would
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: like to see this performed in person. That's all I'm saying.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: Dusty's right there with me.
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: We know a guy that owns a bunch of McDonald's
• 41:10
  Speaker 6: that's a Cybertruck guy. Let's see if we can get
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: him to throw some boosters in that deal and go
• 41:16
  Speaker 6: for a little ride.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: Let's just redneck engineer this thing.
• 41:18
  Speaker 23: Hi, this is Neil Sperry, and I'll be back with
• 41:21
  Speaker 23: today's Plant Talk Texas right after a word from our

• 41:56
  Speaker 23: If you're thinking about making some landscaping improvements come springtime
• 42:00
  Speaker 23: or even over the wintertime, you're going to be wondering
• 42:02
  Speaker 23: what kinds of plants would be best for me across
• 42:05
  Speaker 23: my part of the state. I have a list of
• 42:07
  Speaker 23: the plants that I like the best for Texas landscaping.
• 42:10

• 42:13
  Speaker 23: book is Neil Sperry's Lone Star Gardening. I believe it's
• 42:17

• 42:20
  Speaker 23: directly from me to your mailbox. there's no publishing house
• 42:23
  Speaker 23: no retail markups to run up your cost as i
• 42:26
  Speaker 23: close out the final printing here's an offer i've never
• 42:29
  Speaker 23: made before while supplies last i've reduced the price from
• 42:33

  Speaker 35: A signed copy, satisfaction guaranteed. Order it at neilsperry.com. N-E-I-L-S-P-E-R-R-Y
• 43:10
  Speaker 35: dot com. If I'm looking for a large shade tree,
• 43:14
  Speaker 35: it's hard for me to look past oaks. As much
• 43:16
  Speaker 35: as I love pecans and cedar elms and Chinese pistachios,
• 43:20
  Speaker 35: other quality trees as well, oaks just make the statement
• 43:24
  Speaker 35: of permanence and durability. The oldest tree in Texas is
• 43:27
  Speaker 35: a big live oak along the coast, the Goose Island oak.
• 43:31
  Speaker 35: It weighs in at an estimated 1,000 years old and
• 43:33
  Speaker 35: 11 feet in diameter. I'd have shumard red oak also.
• 43:38
  Speaker 35: I might have chinkapin oak and burr oak. Those are
• 43:40
  Speaker 35: my four favorite trees. How about medium shade trees? These
• 43:44
  Speaker 35: are the trees you use as the third tree of
• 43:46
  Speaker 35: a large property or the prime tree in a zero
• 43:49
  Speaker 35: lot line parcel. I was tempted to list Oklahoma redbud
• 43:52
  Speaker 35: as the best since it's lovely and widely adapted to Texas,
• 43:56
  Speaker 35: but I think really little gem southern magnolia outlives redbuds
• 43:59
  Speaker 35: five or six times. They're wonderful trees. They are dwarf
• 44:03
  Speaker 35: forms of regular southern magnolia. They get about half as tall,
• 44:06
  Speaker 35: half as wide. For large shrubs, it can also be
• 44:09
  Speaker 35: trained as small trees. This one's a dead three-way heat
• 44:13
  Speaker 35: between standard varieties, the largest types of crepe myrtles, yaupon hollies,
• 44:18
  Speaker 35: and Warren's red possum holly. Crepe myrtles' importance to Texas
• 44:23
  Speaker 35: landscaping has been well documented over the last couple of
• 44:26
  Speaker 35: hundred years. Very recently, however, new varieties with Native American
• 44:30
  Speaker 35: names have been introduced from the National Arboretum, and they're terrific.
• 44:34
  Speaker 35: Yaupon hollies, by comparison, are evergreen. They always look about
• 44:38
  Speaker 35: the same. Choose a female variety that has fruit. That's
• 44:42
  Speaker 35: the way you tell, obviously, if you want winter color.
• 44:45
  Speaker 35: Possum holly looks very much like yaupon, but they're deciduous,
• 44:49
  Speaker 35: and the variety Warren's Red has bigger, redder berries and
• 44:53
  Speaker 35: is less likely to sucker. How about large screening shrubs?
• 44:57
  Speaker 35: This spot also goes to a holly, specifically Nellie R.
• 45:00
  Speaker 35: Stevens holly. It'll get 15 feet tall and 10 feet
• 45:03
  Speaker 35: wide if unpruned. You could easily enough keep it at
• 45:06
  Speaker 35: 8 to 10 feet if you needed to prune it.
• 45:08
  Speaker 35: For medium shrubs, willow leaf holly rates best for me.
• 45:11
  Speaker 35: It's also called needlepoint. I have it all through my landscape,
• 45:15
  Speaker 35: and I love that shrub very much. If you're in
• 45:17
  Speaker 35: a smaller landscape and you need a screen, screening shrub
• 45:20
  Speaker 35: for privacy.
• 45:21
  Speaker 23: This one would be best. That's willow leaf holly. For
• 45:25
  Speaker 23: the lowest shrubs, with landscapes growing smaller each year, I
• 45:28
  Speaker 23: have a couple of plants that I like a great deal.
• 45:31
  Speaker 23: I am really fond of Compact Nandina. I just think
• 45:34
  Speaker 23: it's a dandy plant of all types. And then I
• 45:37
  Speaker 23: also like very much Carissa Holly. I'm a Holly freak,
• 45:41
  Speaker 23: if you hadn't noticed. I'm Neal Sperry, and that's Plant
• 45:44
  Speaker 23: Talk Texas for another day. Until next time, happy gardening.
• 45:48
  Speaker 26: Charles Schwartner has a record of fighting for Texas and
• 45:51
  Speaker 26: delivering results. He took on human traffickers and protected our kids.
• 45:56
  Speaker 26: He passed safeguards against dangerous uses of AI, and he
• 45:59
  Speaker 26: fought for Texas energy production to bring down prices at
• 46:02
  Speaker 26: the pump and cut costs for small businesses. These aren't promises.
• 46:06
  Speaker 26: They're results that make a difference for Texas families.
• 46:09
  Speaker 11: Dr.

• 46:15

  Speaker 21: In College Station, some things just mean home. Neighbors and
• 46:21
  Speaker 21: families who know your name and local businesses that have
• 46:24
  Speaker 21: been here for generations. Since 1890, Dean & Draper has

  Speaker 21: helped protect the people, homes, and businesses that make communities
• 46:31
  Speaker 21: like ours special. From Indian Lakes to Miramont and Traditions,

• 46:48
  Speaker 11: Two million dollars of taxpayer money.
• 46:50
  Speaker 22: In 24, Mayor Gutierrez voted to approve a two million
• 46:52
  Speaker 22: dollar loan for the Shulman Project at Midtown Park. At
• 46:55
  Speaker 22: the time, he said, we're going to get the money
• 46:57
  Speaker 22: back and then some. Well, the loan came due July
• 47:00
  Speaker 22: and it wasn't paid back. When taxpayer money is on
• 47:02
  Speaker 22: the line, promises aren't enough. We need performance benchmarks and
• 47:05
  Speaker 22: strong clawback provisions. City Hall is not a bake. That's
• 47:08
  Speaker 22: the accountability I support. My name is Rafael Pena and
• 47:11
  Speaker 22: I'm running to become the next mayor of Bryant.

  Speaker 2: Good morning.
• 47:28
  Speaker 29: I'm Riley Flurkey with your morning sports update on 1620-945-WTAW.
• 47:35
  Speaker 29: Last night, the A & M soccer team recorded their
• 47:37
  Speaker 29: first clean sheet against the Florida Gators with a 0-0
• 47:41
  Speaker 29: stalemate at Ellis Field. Up next, the Aggies return to
• 47:44
  Speaker 29: Ellis Field to host the LSU Tigers on Sunday afternoon
• 47:48
  Speaker 29: with first kick set for 2 o'clock. The Aggie football
• 47:51
  Speaker 29: team is back at Kyle Field tomorrow afternoon gearing up
• 47:54
  Speaker 29: to host the Citadel. And head coach Mike Elko met
• 47:57
  Speaker 29: with the media to talk about one area that he
• 47:59
  Speaker 29: is confident in ahead of going into this week's game.
• 48:02
  Speaker 36: I think the biggest confidence I take is, and again,
• 48:06
  Speaker 36: I've been part of bad seasons where things splinter and
• 48:11
  Speaker 36: fracture and the locker room gets divided and the offense
• 48:14
  Speaker 36: and the defense are fighting or the wide receivers and
• 48:17
  Speaker 36: the quarterback are fighting or the staff is pulling apart
• 48:20
  Speaker 36: from each other or people are working less hard as
• 48:24
  Speaker 36: the season goes on. What gives me confidence is that
• 48:27
  Speaker 36: none of that is happening. What gives me confidence is that,
• 48:30
  Speaker 36: for the most part, our kids are showing up in
• 48:33
  Speaker 36: the right frame of mind and the right mindset to
• 48:35
  Speaker 36: go to work.
• 48:36
  Speaker 29: Kickoff for A & M' s game against the Citadel is
• 48:38
  Speaker 29: set for noon. The Aggie volleyball team is also back
• 48:42
  Speaker 29: at Reed Arena tonight hosting the Florida Gators. Ahead of
• 48:45
  Speaker 29: tonight's game, head coach Jamie Morrison spoke about what his
• 48:48
  Speaker 29: team has been doing to prepare for tonight's game.
• 48:51
  Speaker 37: The thing I told the team was just, we need
• 48:54
  Speaker 37: to make sure we, one, get healthy, and two, make
• 48:56
  Speaker 37: sure that we're pointed in the right direction. And I
• 48:58
  Speaker 37: think the craziest thing about the SEC this year is,
• 49:01
  Speaker 37: one of my staff members was telling me this when
• 49:02
  Speaker 37: we were in the front of the bus, and literally
• 49:04
  Speaker 37: I had to shake myself to realize it's true, but
• 49:06
  Speaker 37: if we win out, we still win the SEC, which
• 49:08
  Speaker 37: is a crazy thing ahead of us, that we have
• 49:11
  Speaker 37: a possibility and a road to having control over that.
• 49:13
  Speaker 37: I also told our team this, I wouldn't be disappointed
• 49:15
  Speaker 37: if I didn't have belief, and I do have belief
• 49:17
  Speaker 37: that this group is good enough to go do great
• 49:19
  Speaker 37: things this year, and my second part of it is
• 49:22
  Speaker 37: we have a really tough Florida team here on Friday
• 49:24
  Speaker 37: and it's a really cool opportunity for people to come
• 49:26
  Speaker 37: out and support like I know the 12th man can
• 49:29
  Speaker 37: and I can just tell you this over and over
• 49:30
  Speaker 37: again until I'm blue in the face it's been a
• 49:31
  Speaker 37: big part of what we've done over the three years
• 49:33
  Speaker 37: three and a half years that we've been here in
• 49:34
  Speaker 37: this season just that crowd makes a difference so encouraging
• 49:37
  Speaker 37: people please head on out.
• 49:38
  Speaker 29: First serve for tonight's game is set for 6 o'clock.
• 49:42
  Speaker 29: The Aggie baseball team is also back at Olsen Field
• 49:45
  Speaker 29: and gearing up to host McNeese tonight for their final
• 49:47
  Speaker 29: exhibition game of the fall. First pitch for tonight's game
• 49:51
  Speaker 29: is set for 7 o'clock. In high school football, Bryan
• 49:54
  Speaker 29: fell 73-7 to Harker Heights. College Station is hitting the
• 49:58
  Speaker 29: road tonight to take on Hendrickson with kickoff set for
• 50:01
  Speaker 29: 7 o'clock. Rudder is hosting Brenham tonight with kickoff set
• 50:05
  Speaker 29: for 7 o'clock. Caldwell is hosting Little River Academy tonight

• 50:11
  Speaker 29: tonight and gearing up to take on McGregor with kickoff
• 50:14
  Speaker 29: set for 7.30. Brazos Christian is hitting the road and
• 50:17
  Speaker 29: taking on Bay Area Christian with kickoff set for 7.
• 50:21
  Speaker 29: And this week, A & M Consolidated, Navasota, and Allen
• 50:24
  Speaker 29: Academy are on their bye week. That's your morning sports
• 50:27
  Speaker 29: update on 1620-945-WTAW. I'm Riley Flurkey.
• 50:33
  Speaker 11: As a Texan, you deserve your court system to deliver
• 50:36
  Speaker 11: justice that is fair, understandable, and within reach. Chief Justice
• 50:40
  Speaker 11: Jimmy Blacklock says that starts with judges applying the law
• 50:44
  Speaker 11: as written, so the rules don't change depending on who
• 50:46
  Speaker 11: walks into the courtroom. But fairness also means a court
• 50:50
  Speaker 11: system that works for the people it serves. Blacklock has
• 50:53
  Speaker 11: called for reducing unnecessary delays and expenses, simplifying court procedures,
• 50:58
  Speaker 11: and making legal services more affordable. Because a case should
• 51:01
  Speaker 11: be decided on the facts and the law, not on
• 51:04
  Speaker 11: who can afford the longest fight. Texas courts belong.
• 51:07
  Speaker 6: To the people.
• 51:08
  Speaker 11: That means judges should be accountable, rules should be clear,
• 51:12
  Speaker 11: and the system should be accessible to those who rely
• 51:14
  Speaker 11: on it. For Blacklock, equal justice means more than a principle.
• 51:18
  Speaker 11: It means a court system Texans can understand, trust and
• 51:22
  Speaker 11: afford to use. Chief Justice Jimmy Blacklock.
• 51:25
  Speaker 6: Clear rules.
• 51:26
  Speaker 11: Accountable courts. Equal justice under law. Political ad paid for
• 51:31
  Speaker 11: by the Jimmy Blacklock campaign.
• 51:33
  Speaker 30: Big Tex isn't the only big deal at this year's
• 51:35
  Speaker 30: state fair. United Ag and Turf is bringing huge savings,
• 51:38
  Speaker 30: including the yard hand package, featuring a 23-horsepower tractor with
• 51:42
  Speaker 30: loader for as low as $ 199 a month with 0%
• 51:43
  Speaker 30: financing for 84 months. Plus, fairgoers get exclusive state fair-only
• 51:49
  Speaker 30: discounts on popular John Deere mowers, utility vehicles, attachments, and more.
• 51:54
  Speaker 30: United Ag and Turf, the official tractor supplier of the
• 51:57
  Speaker 30: State Fair of Texas. What do we really know about
• 51:59
  Speaker 30: James Tallarico?
• 52:06
  Speaker 38: Tallerico said.
• 52:07
  Speaker 39: Defending trans Texas is something we have to do every day.
• 52:11
  Speaker 38: Tallerico supported using taxpayer dollars for sex change surgeries on
• 52:15
  Speaker 38: young children, claimed denying your child's gender identity is abusive,
• 52:19
  Speaker 38: said the trans community needs abortion care too, and even
• 52:23
  Speaker 38: called Jesus a radical feminist and said God is non-binary.
• 52:28
  Speaker 39: Defending trans Texas is something we have to do every day.
• 52:31
  Speaker 27: But it gets worse.
• 52:33
  Speaker 38: James Tallarico voted to allow biological men access to women's
• 52:37
  Speaker 38: bathrooms in schools and for biological boys to play in
• 52:40
  Speaker 38: girls' sports, saying some things are more important than fair
• 52:44
  Speaker 38: competition in sports.
• 52:46
  Speaker 39: Defending trans Texans is something we have to do every day.
• 52:50
  Speaker 38: Radical liberal James Tallarico.
• 52:52

  Speaker 2: TexasPAC.org. 1620-945-WTAW. Infomaniacs, good morning, everyone. Yeah, it's not going
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: to get warmer from now. It's going down all the
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: way down to 49 by the end of the night tonight. But, yeah,
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: very gusty winds, 40-mile-an-hour possible.
• 53:17
  Speaker 6: Grab a light wrap.
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, or a very luxurious cardigan, which I have right here.
• 53:23
  Speaker 6: Dude special.
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: It actually is.
• 53:25
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: Yes!
• 53:26
  Speaker 6: Yes!
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you recognized it. This is good. So, yeah,

• 53:46
  Speaker 2: Jeff texts in that the back of the future analogy
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: is not quite accurate. It's more of a kit from
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: Knight Rider or maybe Mach 5 from Speed Racer. But, look,
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: see for yourself. The kickflip video has been posted on
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: the WTW Facebook page if you want to see it.
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: Go check it out.
• 54:02
  Speaker 6: I was paying a Knight Rider back in the day.
• 54:05
  Speaker 6: It did fly.
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: It's very kit-like.
