Speaker 1: Good morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm will Welch. Texas
0:07
Speaker 1: Governor Greg Abbott announced a new initiative yesterday. The Texas
0:10
Speaker 1: Classroom Commission will allow educators to shape the future of
0:14
Speaker 1: education by bringing together public school educators to identify and
0:18
Speaker 1: develop innovative solutions that help students succeed, improve the learning environment,
0:22
Speaker 1: and strengthen schools. The Commission will be made up of
0:25
Speaker 1: current and retired public school classroom teachers. They will begin
0:29
Speaker 1: their work in the coming weeks to deliver recommendations before
0:32
Speaker 1: the start of the ninetieth legislative session in January. Governor
0:36
Speaker 1: Abbott also sent a letter to the Texas Health and
0:39
Speaker 1: Human Services Executive Commissioner, Stephanie Mooth, directing her to investigate
0:44
Speaker 1: reports of so called birth packages. The letter asked that
0:47
Speaker 1: she look into reports that the Mission Regional Medical Center,
0:50
Speaker 1: only six miles from the Texas Mexico border, engaged in
0:54
Speaker 1: targeted advertising to foreign nationals looking to give birth in
0:58
Speaker 1: the United States and secure city citizenship for their children.
1:01
Speaker 1: Abbott says citizenship is not for sale and Texas will
1:05
Speaker 1: not permit our healthcare system to be used as a
1:07
Speaker 1: magnet for birth tourism. Two Justices of the Peace have
1:11
Speaker 1: been suspended from the bench. The Texas State Commission on
1:14
Speaker 1: Judicial Conduct announced yesterday that Cleebirg County JP Brandon Wayne
1:19
Speaker 1: Berrera has been suspended without pay for being indicted on
1:22
Speaker 1: one count of possession of a controlled substance, a third
1:25
Speaker 1: degree felony. He was arrested earlier this year after being
1:29
Speaker 1: found with more than one gram of methamphetamine. The Democrat
1:32
Speaker 1: took to his Facebook page in May to announce that
1:35
Speaker 1: he completed rehab and asked for the community's support moving forward.
1:39
Speaker 1: Judge Donald Joseph Clark AJP in Colorado County was suspended
1:44
Speaker 1: with pay after being indicted on three charges, one count
1:47
Speaker 1: of official oppression, a Class A misdemeanor, and one count
1:50
Speaker 1: of false reports a peace officer, a Class B misdemeanor.
1:54
Speaker 1: Also one count of false report to induce emergency response,
1:58
Speaker 1: a Class B misdemeanor. The indictment against Clark says he
2:01
Speaker 1: knowingly made an unlawful arrest, then called nine to one
2:05
Speaker 1: one with a false report of an emergency to cover
2:07
Speaker 1: up that arrest. The Commission says these suspensions will remain
2:11
Speaker 1: in effect until charges are dismissed. The men are acquitted
2:15
Speaker 1: or upon further order of the Commission. Texas Land Commissioner
2:19
Speaker 1: Sid Miller urges all Texans to remain diligent against the
2:22
Speaker 1: New World screw worm. There have been thirty two documented
2:26
Speaker 1: cases of infestation north of the border, one in New
2:29
Speaker 1: Mexico and thirty one here in Texas. Miller says sufficient
2:33
Speaker 1: numbers of sterile flies won't be available for at least
2:35
Speaker 1: two years and suggests using bait.
2:39
Speaker 2: We have a flybait we've used in the past. We
2:41
Speaker 2: need to use that and eliminate this past. We could
2:44
Speaker 2: actually do it with just a flybaight alone. It's a
2:47
Speaker 2: USBA program. They used it for eight or ten years successfully.
2:51
Speaker 2: It's time we brought it back and protect our farmers
2:54
Speaker 2: and ranchers.
2:55
Speaker 1: Miller adds that infections are not limited to livestock.
3:00
Speaker 2: And everybody to be diligent look out for this screwworm.
3:03
Speaker 2: Past the number one species is cattle, but the number
3:06
Speaker 2: two species is dogs and pets.
3:08
Speaker 1: Check animals for open wounds. Report any concerns to a veterinarian,
3:12
Speaker 1: the Texas Animal Health Commission or Texas Parks and Wildlife.
3:16
Speaker 1: Stay up to date with the latest news and track
3:18
Speaker 1: cases at screwworm dot gov. The Texas A and M
3:22
Speaker 1: College of Medicine is receiving more than six million dollars
3:25
Speaker 1: to study how cocaine and alcohol addiction may affect cognition.
3:30
Speaker 1: Researchers say the idea behind the research is that addiction
3:33
Speaker 1: can hijack the brain and cause a loss of cognitive flexibility,
3:37
Speaker 1: and flexibility is what enables decision making, task management, and
3:42
Speaker 1: problem solving. More news ahead at six thirty or any

11:01
Speaker 5: I can officially announced that Dolly, a true original musical
11:06
Speaker 5: is coming to Broadway and you're invited. It's that where
11:09
Speaker 5: I really come from, where I've lived, what I've lost,
11:12
Speaker 5: what I've loved, and how I found my way and
11:14

11:33
Speaker 1: That's gonna smash.

Speaker 3: That's going to be that Hamilton level, at least following
11:38
Speaker 3: at least the man says.
11:41
Speaker 1: At lea, it's Dolly Parton? Right?
11:44
Speaker 3: How is she doing all this stuff? How was she
11:47
Speaker 3: doing it?
11:47
Speaker 2: Well?
11:48
Speaker 1: Hopefully her health has recovered. You know, we were scared
11:51
Speaker 1: for a little while in the past year, and she's
11:54
Speaker 1: handling it all. I would also guarantee you that Dolly
11:57
Speaker 1: probably has a really good hand selected team around her.
12:02
Speaker 3: Do you know what else she does that I don't know?
12:04
Speaker 3: Are you aware she doesn't have a cell phone?
12:06
Speaker 1: Really?
12:07
Speaker 3: Did you know this?
12:08
Speaker 6: Riley?
12:08
Speaker 4: I did not.
12:09
Speaker 3: Dolly Parton still insists to this day on correspondence by
12:17
Speaker 3: one method and one method only facts.
12:22
Speaker 1: Facts.
12:22
Speaker 3: I'm not kidding you look it up.
12:24
Speaker 1: So she types her handwrites something in the facts.
12:27
Speaker 3: You have to fax Dolly for anything you want to
12:31
Speaker 3: get a hold of Dolly for the only thing she
12:34
Speaker 3: will put in front of her face is a stack
12:36
Speaker 3: of faxes now us does she fax back? That's the
12:40
Speaker 3: part I'm not sure. Okay, she might at that point
12:43
Speaker 3: pick up her landline and call you. But you can't
12:47
Speaker 3: email her. You can't text her, you can't send her
12:51
Speaker 3: a reel, you can't slide into her DMS. You have
12:56
Speaker 3: to fax her, which means that you have to have
12:59
Speaker 3: a facts or find a facts machine if you've got
13:03
Speaker 3: business for Dolly Parton.
13:05
Speaker 1: I suspect that those people who have business with Dolly
13:08
Speaker 1: probably have a fact yourself.
13:11
Speaker 3: It's like the bat phone.
13:12
Speaker 1: Yes, only that DearS me so much more to dominate,
13:16
Speaker 1: And it wasn't I was pretty endeared to begin with.
13:19
Speaker 3: It's it's it's one of the dopest things. Just to
13:21
Speaker 3: remind you, this little device you have on you is
13:24
Speaker 3: slowly draining everything from you because you got people can
13:27
Speaker 3: get a hold of you for every single thing.
13:29
Speaker 1: It takes your soul, takes your Yeah.
13:31
Speaker 3: It keeps you. It just robs you of an enjoy.
13:34
Speaker 3: She's eighty one, sounded like she's in her sixties, happy
13:39
Speaker 3: all the time, watching quick stops out on the roads
13:42
Speaker 3: of Tennessee.
13:43
Speaker 1: The truck stops mad.
13:44
Speaker 3: Tennessee, Tennessee and travel stops watching a musical. That's a
13:50
Speaker 3: great thing.

Speaker 1: Texas Governor Greg Abbott is asking the Texas Health and
19:39
Speaker 1: Human Services Commission to investigate reports that a South Texas
19:43
Speaker 1: hospital is offering so called birth packages to foreign nationals.
19:47
Speaker 1: On Tuesday, Abbitt sent a letter to Executive Commissioner Stephanie
19:51
Speaker 1: Mooth directing her to look into reports that the Mission
19:54
Speaker 1: Regional Medical Center, a facility regulated by the Texas Health
19:57
Speaker 1: and Human Services Commission, is a veritizing the packages in
20:01
Speaker 1: an apparent effort to profit from securing United States citizenship
20:05
Speaker 1: for their children. The hospital, located in Mission, is less
20:08
Speaker 1: than six miles from the Texas Mexico border, and allegedly
20:12
Speaker 1: had billboards and a website advertising the packages. Birth tourism
20:16
Speaker 1: refers to the practice of foreign travelers coming to the
20:19
Speaker 1: United States to give birth and secure citizenship for their children.
20:23
Speaker 1: In his letter, Abbott says citizenship is not for sale
20:26
Speaker 1: and Texas will not permit our healthcare system to be
20:29
Speaker 1: used as a magnet for birth tourism. He also says
20:32
Speaker 1: he plans to work with the Texas legislature next session
20:35
Speaker 1: to strengthen laws and eliminate birth tourism in Texas. The
20:39
Speaker 1: State Commission on Judicial Conduct announced yesterday that two Texas
20:43
Speaker 1: judges have been stripped of their duties, at least for now.
20:47
Speaker 1: Brandon Wayne Berera, Justice of the Peace in Cleebird County,
20:50
Speaker 1: has been suspended without pay after being charged with one
20:54
Speaker 1: count of possession of a controlled substance, a third degree felony.
20:57
Speaker 1: Barrera was arrested in Kingsville and Jaisanuary after he was
21:00
Speaker 1: found with more than one gram of methenphetamine. The Democrat
21:04
Speaker 1: took to his Facebook page in May to announce that
21:06
Speaker 1: he completed rehab, saying I'm committed to being the best
21:09
Speaker 1: leader in person I can be for our community. The
21:12
Speaker 1: Commission also suspended Judge Donald Joseph Clark, a JP in
21:16
Speaker 1: Colorado County after he was indicted on three charges, one
21:20
Speaker 1: count of official oppression a Class A misdemeanor, one count
21:24
Speaker 1: of false report to a peace officer, a Class B misdemeanor,
21:27
Speaker 1: and one count of a false report to induce emergency response,
21:31
Speaker 1: a Class B misdemeanor. The indictment against Clark says he
21:35
Speaker 1: knowingly made an arrest that was unlawful, then called nine
21:38
Speaker 1: to one one with a false report of an emergency
21:41
Speaker 1: to cover up the arrest. The Commission says the suspensions
21:44
Speaker 1: will remain in effect until charges are dismissed, the men
21:47
Speaker 1: are acquitted, or upon further order of the Commission. Texas
21:51
Speaker 1: Land Commissioner Sid Miller urges all Texans to remain vigilant
21:54
Speaker 1: against the New World screwworm. The state has its thirty
21:58
Speaker 1: first reported case of screwworm infection, and so far the
22:01
Speaker 1: Brass Valley has been spared. Miller says there won't be
22:05
Speaker 1: enough sterile flies available for at least two years, and
22:08
Speaker 1: suggest using bait.
22:09
Speaker 2: We have a flybait we've used in the past. We
22:12
Speaker 2: need to use that and eliminate this past. We can
22:15
Speaker 2: actually do it with just the flybaight alone.
22:17
Speaker 1: It's a USBA program.
22:19
Speaker 2: They used it for eight or ten years successfully, It's
22:22
Speaker 2: time we brought it back and protect our farmers and ranchers.
22:26
Speaker 1: Miller adds that infections are not limited to livestock.
22:30
Speaker 2: Like for remind everybody to be villages look out for
22:33
Speaker 2: this screwworm pest. The number one species is cattle, but
22:36
Speaker 2: the number two species is dogs and pets.

Speaker 1: in funding from the National Institutes of Health. The nearly
22:58
Speaker 1: six point three million dollars will study of alcohol and
23:01
Speaker 1: cocaine can dull cognition. Yun Wang with the College of
23:05
Speaker 1: Medicine at Texas A and M, says the idea behind
23:08
Speaker 1: the research is that addiction hijacks the brain in a
23:11
Speaker 1: way that causes loss of cognitive flexibility, and flexibility is
23:15
Speaker 1: what enables decision making, task management, and problem solving. Wang
23:20
Speaker 1: says addiction is often viewed as a disorder of reward,
23:23
Speaker 1: but it is also a disorder of flexibility, and the
23:26
Speaker 1: brain loses the ability to update behavior when circumstances change.
23:30
Speaker 1: Governor Greg Abbott making more news as he launched a
23:33
Speaker 1: new initiative Tuesday. The Texas Classroom Commission is a teacher

23:48
Speaker 1: students succeed, improve the learning environment, and strengthen schools. By
23:53
Speaker 1: empowering those on the front lines of education, Abbott says
23:56
Speaker 1: it will ensure that Texas becomes the national leader in education.
24:00
Speaker 1: The Commission will consist of current and retired public school
24:03

26:05
Speaker 3: Think you should go higher. You're a super host for
26:07
Speaker 3: a year.
26:08
Speaker 1: However, I want a couple of things. First of all,

26:14
Speaker 1: to have a reasonable place to stay.
26:16
Speaker 3: Look at this, he's a host of the heart.
26:17
Speaker 1: And in second, uh, I want to get a booking
26:21
Speaker 1: and not the guy down the road get a booking.
26:23
Speaker 1: And and so I'm not undercutting, but I'm going to
26:26
Speaker 1: have a fair price that I could, I could try,
26:29
Speaker 1: I could I could increase my rates, and they do
26:32
Speaker 1: fluctuate based on market availability.
26:34
Speaker 3: All these other haters out there listening to the show.

30:42
Speaker 3: League Baseball and the NBA combined. So much the things
30:45
Speaker 3: make I get it. There's a lot out there. But
30:47
Speaker 3: you're not going to tell me that GoldenEye from back
30:50
Speaker 3: in the Nintendo sixty four days is not going to
30:51
Speaker 3: be on that list.
30:53
Speaker 1: Duck hunting, duck hunting, I've played Golden Eyes so much
30:56
Speaker 1: that legitimately, when I would stop and i'd go outside,
30:59
Speaker 1: I would see crosshairs on people.
31:02
Speaker 3: I'll beat the breaks off of your kid.
31:05
Speaker 1: At GoldenEye, I thought you were going to throw it
31:09

31:10
Speaker 1: I'd knocked the rust off, buddy, Come on in it.

Speaker 3: Bring me a sixty four today, we will. That's something
31:16
Speaker 3: for later.
31:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, when I graduated college, because I spent the majority
31:19
Speaker 1: of the nineties in college, I did have a Nintendo
31:23
Speaker 1: sixty four and I played essentially Madden and GoldenEye. Those
31:28
Speaker 1: were the two things that I did. When I left
31:31
Speaker 1: school and moved from Arkansas to Austin, I gave my
31:35
Speaker 1: video console to my neighbor's kids, and because I decided
31:40
Speaker 1: I was done with it. That was childish things I
31:42
Speaker 1: was going to put away.
31:43
Speaker 3: What a shame.
31:45
Speaker 1: No, it's not a shame. I think I've been a
31:46
Speaker 1: lot more productive, Not that I am productive, but I've
31:49
Speaker 1: been a lot more productive without it.
31:51
Speaker 3: I've always wondered this way because I think there are
31:54
Speaker 3: a lot of people or maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm just,
31:57
Speaker 3: you know, hanging on to this too long. I'm forty five.
32:00
Speaker 3: I still will play the hell house of video games
32:04
Speaker 3: on any on multiple platforms, multiple multip platforms. Should I
32:08
Speaker 3: have given it up at some point? I don't know,
32:11
Speaker 3: maybe this possibility. Look sure, as a time suck, I
32:14
Speaker 3: cannot deny that it doesn't.
32:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is a time suck. But as long as
32:16

32:49
Speaker 4: five times a week after you started having kids. That's
32:52
Speaker 4: a problem.
32:53

32:58
Speaker 1: with our kids, especially as the Yeah, unless playing video

33:57
Speaker 6: they're sometimes the old as the group. They're not as
33:59
Speaker 6: excited about summer basketball. They just kind of like March,
34:02
Speaker 6: you know, this group is kind of excited to play
34:04
Speaker 6: and kind of see where everybody stacks up. I mean,
34:06
Speaker 6: they had their probably their best day yesterday in terms
34:08
Speaker 6: of their legs. You know, they were just bouncing around,
34:11
Speaker 6: popping around. We're longer. We got to keep working on
34:14
Speaker 6: shooting the basketball, that's for sure, because we have to
34:16
Speaker 6: be a space to defense. But we'll get there.
34:18
Speaker 2: You know.
34:18
Speaker 6: I think there will be a team that, you know,
34:21
Speaker 6: in March, you gotta have size, you know, just you're
34:24
Speaker 6: an off night away from you know, having to play
34:27
Speaker 6: really exception in every other area. So you know, hopef
34:30
Speaker 6: we can get size and get the shooting with it
34:32
Speaker 6: as we go along. They just practiced yesterday. I thought
34:34
Speaker 6: they looked better than I thought they look. We take
34:36
Speaker 6: up more space out there on the floor on defense
34:38
Speaker 6: than we did last year, that's for sure with them
34:40
Speaker 6: out there.

Speaker 4: Angeles Angels. Rangers manager Skip Schumacher talked about Justin Foscule's
35:25
Speaker 4: impressive playing in his rookie year so far.
35:28
Speaker 7: Pinchhitting is the hardest thing to do as a hitter
35:30
Speaker 7: in this game. There's it is a nightmare to be
35:33
Speaker 7: able to try to game plan for one at bat
35:36
Speaker 7: and be ready in a high leverage situation, usually late
35:39
Speaker 7: in the games, and especially for a rookie. Guys that
35:44
Speaker 7: are coming up through the minor leagues are typically playing
35:46
Speaker 7: every single day and not pinch hitting. And for him
35:49
Speaker 7: to be this successful platoon heavy and then pinch hit
35:54
Speaker 7: and then another big hit later in the game was
35:56
Speaker 7: really impressive. So Justin has been man.
35:58
Speaker 3: He has been huge for us.
35:59
Speaker 7: Again, it's left handers all year long, and that was
36:02
Speaker 7: a one of the biggest hits of his probably young
36:05
Speaker 7: career so far.
