H2-S2 full 00:04 All right, let's go. The phones are down to Chico and Pakalett. How you doing, Chico? I'm doing very well. And thank you so much for what you do, sir. I'm just glad to be able to talk to you again. I'm going to read off what I'm planning on doing here in just the next few minutes. But I wanted to mention to you, you brought up LBJ. He's not a really popular Texas president. Right. You might want to look up the treatment. It was it's it's it's described as a 00:33 almost hypnotic experience and rendered the target stunned and helpless. And it's what he would do to people that would, that he had confrontation with fellow senators or whatever. Anyway, it's creepy. Yeah. Look it up. It's called the treatment and he would do that to people. I would read it out, but I don't want to waste time. That's okay. Who are you voting for? Richard Nixon was a far, far better man. And just real quick. 01:01 When he flew into Harlingen, Texas one time during his presidency, they sent a hearse to pick him up. All right. So I'm going for Mr. Ralph Norman. I'm going for Mr. David Stumbo. I'm going for Mr. Danny Ford. have nothing against Cody, but I'm going for Mr. Danny Ford. Mark Lynch. I want to ask you between 01:27 I'm kind of holding my nose on this a little bit. think I'm going for William Timmons and Abe Harris. Okay. And do you know anything about Mike Stacey? I do not. I do not know anything about Mike Stacey. No big deal. And I'm going to vote yes on those two questions. And I want to thank you all for everything that you do because, very important, I travel a lot. Yeah. So last time I called you, I told you that. 01:54 I come back in for just a couple of days and I have a very, very small limited amount of time to make up my mind about these elections. You guys are right on. I trust you. And this is the I take your opinions very seriously. Thank you for what you do, sir. I appreciate it. Chico, our absolute best. Well, thank you very much. You got about 35 minutes to get to that poll, Chico. Don't speed, but make haste if you wouldn't mind. 02:23 35 minutes until the polls close. We are going to be out of the foundry at Judson Mill. I would love to see you folks out there. It's going to be a great, great night. We're going to be bringing you all of your election results. And man, I tell you what, it's going to be a race. in some of these races, they're not going to be over tonight. Governor's race, not going to be over tonight. um We're definitely going to go to a runoff on that. That's just a statistical. 02:51 probability, a very good one. One of the things that I found it funny. 02:58 how all of these people are saying that, you know, that we support President Trump. and we know that Trump is the gold standard. We understand that. But Pam Leavitt said something today. She was like, she was like, Henry McMaster is stood by Donald Trump. And I thought, well, well, well, wait a minute. Hold on. Henry McMaster is stood by Donald Trump? I can name you two instances where he hasn't stood by Donald Trump. 03:29 Instance number one, when our state legislature here in South Carolina decided not to go along with the one big beautiful bill in giving us the no tax on tips, no tax on over times, tax breaks for seniors, they did not do that. And what did Henry McMaster do? He did what Henry McMaster does, nothing. He did absolutely nothing. 03:57 So then that's instance number one. Number two is back in January, the whole redistricting thing really started ramping up and members of the Freedom Caucus started saying, hey, we need to redistrict South Carolina. We need to do away with Jim Clyburn's district. We need to get all that done. And what did the House do? They said, well, no, we don't want to do that. And our governor, Henry McMaster, said, 04:26 He didn't see any need for it. 04:29 So then what happened? He waited until he felt like he could get some sort of a deal to even, and he did this half-hea ... 362 Tue, 09 Jun 2026 22:33:00 +0000 zoCujV9Qj7Vjocq6nElgNDUaoRar0nfv news The Charlie James Show Podcast news H2-S2 The Charlie James Show originates from News/Talk 989 WORD, The Upstate's #1 Talk Station, weekdays 3-7pm.

HARLINGEN, Texas - Doug Allison, a board member and regulatory counsel for US Desalination, has given an in-depth interview about plans for the largest water infrastructure project ever built in South Texas. “We're partnering with communities, agencies, and industry to ensure a reliable water future for generations to come,” Allison told Ron Whitlock Reports, following a news conference at the Hilton Garden Inn in Harlingen. Allison said US Desalination has partnered with IDE Assets to form RGV Desal, LLC.“RGV Desal, LLC. represents the largest water infrastructure project ever built in South Texas. Our advanced desalination plant uses state-of-the-art reverse osmosis and energy recovery systems to efficiently transform seawater into fresh drinking water,” Allison said.Allison said there would be a regional impact, with a reliable supply for municipalities, industry, and agriculture. He said the plan, to be built on South Padre Island, would use cutting-edge reverse osmosis technology. “By turning seawater into clean, reliable water, RGV Desal, LLC, will ensure water independence for families, farmers, and businesses across South Texas,” Allison said.“RGV Desal, LLC, is a regional initiative (that aims to deliver) a drought-proof water supply for the Rio Grande Valley.

HARLINGEN, Texas - Rio Grande Valley banker and philanthropist Bobby Farris has recalled an incident earlier this year where he and his wife Robin were referred to by the City of Rio Hondo as “good samaritans.” On Valentine's Day, the couple rescued a six-year old girl and an elderly man from a house that was ablaze. Along with an off duty Sheriff deputy, they were first on the scene. Robin Farris called emergency services.Bobby Farris, chairman of Texas Regional Bank's wealth management division, told Ron Whitlock Reports the story:It was Valentine's Day. We were driving to a party with some other couples,” Farris said. “As we're going down 106, that's from Rio Hondo to the Island, Robin looked over while I was driving and saw this older house. Most of the houses are pretty old out there, on pier and beams. On would have been the northwest corner of the house, there was a small fire underneath. Robin yelled at me, turn around. She we turned around. She called the fire department. We knew it would be 25 or 30 minutes before it would get there from Rio Hondo. It's a volunteer fire system. So we got out of the car, and went running up to the house.“The off duty sheriff guy was there. He had a garden hose trying to put this fire out. I thought he was the owner, so I said, is there another hose on the side of the house? And he goes, I don't know. Oh, okay. So I ran around in the other side of the house, and there wasn't. I went back around to the front of the house, and there was a little girl, about six years old, standing at the front door holding a blanket, scared to death, because by this time, the flames were starting to move across the south side. The wind was howling that day.“So, I'm telling her, come down, come down. You must get out. And she was petrified. I thought if I went up to get her, she would run back into the house, and then I might have a problem, because she could hide under a bed or something and couldn't find her. And these flames were coming. The next thing I knew, a person went running by me, ran up, grabbed her and ran down the stairs, and that was Robin. And Robin took her out. She was about six, six or seven. Her name was Charlotte. Robin took here out and sat her on the grass and said, everything is going to be okay.”Bobby Farris told Whitlock he has always been punctual and never likes being late to events. That day, however, he was going to be late because he got stuck behind a huge tractor going 20 miles an hour on Highway 509.“We lost 15 minutes and were going to be late for the function. For the first time in my life, I was not bothered. The day before I would have been trying to get around him. I would have been really upset. I was at complete peace. We got our stuff out of the house real quick and took off. That is when, going down 106, between 803 and 1847, that is when Robin saw the fire. It was barely going at that time, Had God not put that tractor in front of me, we would never have seen the fire.”Go to www.riograndeguardian.com to read the latest border news stories and watch the latest news videos.

BROWNSVILLE, Texas - Cameron County held its State of the County Luncheon in Harlingen last month and Precinct 2 Commissioner Joey Lopez spoke about La Esperanza Community Park's all-inclusive renovations.The park reopened in July 2025, with the addition of an inclusive splash pad for children. According to Lopez, the park has been utilized by several children and families that are wheelchair-bound.“The area is well shaded,” Lopez said. “The renovations that have happened within this past year (are worth) about $2.3 million. We added a huge splash pad that was put in, we updated the walking trail and we have a butterfly garden there.”The funding for the project was paid through the American Rescue Plan Act. Lopez said the support from the city's park's department helped get the park acknowledged by the state level.“If you haven't had a chance to come on by and take a look at it, please come on by,” Lopez said. “You'd be very impressed.”Noble Texas Builders won an Eagle Award at the ABC South Texas 2025 Excellence in Construction Awards for the design and construction of La Esperanza Park. Rene Capistran, president of Noble, said the park has been reimagined with accessibility at its core.“Working alongside the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, the transformation of this beloved community space includes major upgrades that make it more inclusive and welcoming for all visitors.

MCALLEN, Texas - McAllen International Airport continues to capture the biggest share of the passenger market in the Rio Grande Valley, the city's director of aviation reports.Jeremy Santoscoy gave an update on airport activity at a recent McAllen Economic Development Corporation stakeholders meeting. “Through Quarter 3, we're at about 863,000 total passengers, which is a slight decrease year-over-year, (a drop of) about two and a half percent,” Santoscoy said.“We continue to see the majority market share, the value is about 48 percent, with Harlingen following at 40 percent and Brownsville at 12 percent.”Harlingen is otherwise known as Valley International Airport. Brownsville is otherwise known as Brownsville-South Padre Island International Airport.“Overall, year-over-year, Harlingen was up just slightly, but Brownsville was still down 11 percent. With all the economic activity over there, you figured there'd be some kind of change. But what I'm hearing is there are still a lot of people choosing to live on this side of the Valley and commute back and forth with those jobs down there, with the SpaceX and LNG.”Santoscoy said the recent government shutdown did not impact McAllen International Airport very much.“The government shutdown, the longest government shutdown, had did very little to no effect on McAllen International Airport. Our services kept going,” Santoscoy said. “We have good group of federal partners that we continue to work with through thick and thin. So services did not see any delays when they did turn down the amount of operations working out of the hubs. We did see a couple of them cancelations, but that was the airline's decision.”Santoscoy said McAllen is continuing to lobby to have its flights to Mexico City restored. They were recently suspended by the federal government.“We were disappointed with that, with the Mexico City flights being suspended. We continue to work with our congressional delegation to make some noise in D.C. to see how they can support us; to open that route back up due to its importance to the Valley. It's the only Mexico City route out of here.”Santoscoy said he had read that Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum wants to open up more slots out of Mexico City. “We're trying to look at the validity of that. No orders have been issued by the Mexican government,” he said. “That route is very important to the economy down here.”Editor's Note: Go to the RGG Business Journal to read the full story.

Jessica Fuentes, William Sarradet, and Nicholas Frank discuss their recent visit to the Rio Grande Valley, including stops in Laredo, San Ygnacio, McAllen, Harlingen, and Brownsville. “One of the things that often marks our time in the Valley — and similar regions — is that the communities there are so tightly knit and welcoming. Every time we go to the Panhandle, to East Texas, to West Texas, to the Valley, we are met with these really beautiful, intimate moments where people are open and willing to share.” See related readings here: https://glasstire.com/2025/11/16/art-dirt-a-visit-to-the-rgv/ If you enjoy Glasstire and would like to support our work, please consider donating.

HARLINGEN, Texas - The Free Trade Bridge at Los Indios is the crown jewel of Cameron County's international bridge system, according to the county's economic development director, Ramiro Aleman.The bridge is also known as “Los Indios-Lucio Blanco Bridge”, “Puente Lucio Blanco-Los Indios”, “Puente Internacional Libre Comercio” and “Los Indios Free Trade Bridge”. It is owned and operated by Cameron County. However, the cities of Harlingen and San Benito each receive 25% of the net revenues. The bridge facilities are located on a 127-acre tract of land.Aleman spoke about Los Indios at a Rio Grande Valley Partnership Commercialization and Investment Tour event, held at TSTC-Harlingen's Welcome Center. The event was sponsored by Harlingen Economic Development Corporation. “What I like to call the One Big Beautiful Bridge, Los Indios, is, I think, the crown jewel of the Cameron County International Bridge system, and you can quote me on that,” Aleman said.During a panel discussion, Aleman was asked to give an update on Cameron County's international bridge system.“Cameron County is at the forefront of innovation when it comes to international trade. I say that because I think we just accomplished something that's never been done before, at least from our research,” Aleman said.“Cameron County is on the verge of purchasing an ownership stake in the B&M Bridge from Union Pacific. I don't think that's ever been done before, at least through our research. With that purchase, Cameron County will now own Veterans Bridge at Los Tomates, which is a commercial and passenger bridge,” Aleman said. “And Gateway Bridge, which is passenger only, is about to have tremendous upgrades. Over $100 million in upgrades (is coming), plus an additional standalone pedestrian bridge which will ease crossings.”Aleman then waxed lyrical about Los Indios.“What I like to call the One Big Beautiful Bridge, Los Indios, is, I think, the crown jewel of the Cameron County International Bridge System, and you can quote me on that. The reason I say that is because it's an overweight corridor and an oversized corridor. You see all those wind turbines? They don't cross anywhere else but Los Indios, because that's the only bridge capable (of carrying such cargo). Not only that, but we also have a cold storage and a cold room facility for (fresh produce) inspections.”Aleman said any type of fruit or vegetable can cross at Los Indios.“Fruits or vegetables that need to keep that cold chain, they can cross through here and never break that cold chain. Also, USDA has an agriculture inspection facility there. So, anytime they find any type of anomaly in the product, they can identify it on site. If they have to send it to a lab, that can take hours, days sometimes. But the advantage of us having it at our location is definitely something that we should be promoting, because it is a big advantage for us,” Aleman said.“I think it is a prime location that you are able to build on, especially here in Harlingen, because the overweight corridor goes right through the industrial park all the way to the Aerotropolis, and the Port of Harlingen. And so, I think that's a great opportunity for investments.”Editor's Note: Go to the RGG Business Journal to read the full story.

It is a strategic initiative aimed at uniting 140+ automotive companies, universities, and economic development entities across South Texas and Northern Tamaulipas, Mexico.After Carrera had spoken, Willis explained what the project is about."For those of you who are not familiar, COSTEP is a regional economic development group. They go to trade shows all over the world. They try to attract companies to our region," Willis said. "They are trying to map out information about all the companies on both sides of the river that are in the automotive business to help show that to foreign prospects to try to see what kind of supply chain they could have if they located to northern Tamaulipas or especially the Rio Grande Valley. So, that is what that is for."After the STMA meeting had ended, Carrera gave an exclusive interview to RGG Business Journal about the Binational Autocluster project.

MCALLEN, Texas - Kathryn Lueders, general manager of Starbase says the local community means a big deal to SpaceX. Lueders gave the keynote speech at the Vistas from Texas seminar co-hosted by UT-Rio Grande Valley's Center for Border Economic Studies and the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. Her presentation was titled: “SpaceX's presence and impact on the RGV economy.” The event was held at Rio Bank's headquarters in McAllen. “We're vested, right? We are here to stay, and we will be looking forward to many, many launches off of Boca Chica and really understanding and being part of this community,” Lueders said. In a power-point presentation, Lueders showed what she said was one of her favorite pictures, taken from the harbor. “If you go to Starbase, none of that hardware happens without the people that are there. When I started a little bit over a year ago, less than 2,000 SpaceXers were there. We're now up to about twenty-five, twenty-six hundred.” Depending on how the company's construction and maintenance contracts go, another 700 to 800 workers could be added, she said. “You can be a rocket scientist, an engineer from the Rio Grande Valley and stay in the Rio Grande Valley. But this is a community endeavor. We're not doing this without huge investment from the community and creating places where our people want to stay and live and continue to live… this is going to take all of us to really be able to grow this enterprise, to be able to conduct all the missions that we want to do.” Lueders continued: “So community is like a big deal for us. Sometimes you can be so focused on work. But I tell people, wear your SpaceX shirt out in the community. Now, behave yourself when you're wearing your SpaceX shirt out in the community. If you're going to go out to parties, maybe leave your shirt home for that day. But I am proud of the fact of how many people are out there and living in the community, and that we actually do a lot of things to be able to get the community to understand that we do care about the community.” Lueders ran through some of things SpaceX does to integrate its workers in the community. “We have a third Saturday, where employees… there's a new area where we go. Marisela (Cortez) finds this place, across the whole Valley, spreads it out, because it is important for us to be able to show up and show that we do care and want to help,” Lueders said. Marisela Cortez is external affairs manager at Starbase. She was present for Lueders' presentation at the Vistas from Texas seminar. “We also do this thing once a month where we invite employees to work with a local restaurant, and we kind of we pick their day off and so that all their revenues on that day off are from SpaceXers. And we kind of then allow the folks to be able to go experience a new restaurant, like in Harlingen or Brownsville,” Lueders said. “Sometimes when we have people from out of state… it's just getting them to that first place and feeling comfortable, and then they can start exploring the community themselves. We specifically do that type of event with our Starbasers at least once a month.” Lueders added: “We also look at, what are the other community and support organizations (we can help)? Obviously, Marisela doesn't have an unlimited budget for support, but she looks around. What are the key things that most impact communities, and how do we make sure that we are showing a presence there? Because obviously, we want people to understand we do feel like part of this community.”Go to www.riograndeguardian.com to read the latest border news stories and watch the latest news videos.
HARLINGEN, Texas - The Port of Harlingen will try again to expand its overweight corridor route in the 89th Legislature starting in January.As in the 88th session, the legislation will be carried by state Rep. Janie Lopez, R-San Benito.The legislation failed to make it into law in 2023, in part because of opposition from the Texas Department of Public Safety.But, says Port of Harlingen Executive Director Walker Smith, the legislation has merit because it would improve safety on the road. In an exclusive interview with Ron Whitlock Reports, Smith explained that three entities in the Rio Grande Valley have the authority to issue permits for shippers to use overweight corridors in the Rio Grande Valley - Hidalgo County Regional Mobility Authority, the Port of Brownsville, and the Port of Harlingen.He said trucks weighing no more than the Mexican Legal Weight Limit or 125,000 pounds can use an overweight corridor. On a regular corridor they can only carry 80,000 pounds.“If we're able to connect these corridors, it provides flexibility to the transportation system and dedicates those overweight trucks to these dedicated routes,” Smith said.“So, we're going to be looking to extend our overweight corridor from FM 509 to the Hidalgo County-Cameron County line, a 13-mile strip.“The legislation would essentially designate this route, FM, 509, US Highway 281, to the Hidalgo County and Cameron County lines. And at that point, the Hidalgo County RMA corridor would pick up and carry the cargo into the Pharr Bridge, or vice versa.”Editor's Note: Go to the Rio Grande Guardian International News Service website to read the full story.

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/659 Presented By: TroutRoutes, Waters West, Jackson Hole Fly Company, Togens Fly Shop Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors In this episode, we explore the thrilling world of Texas redfish fishing with expert guide Rick Hartman. Rick shares invaluable tips on casting in windy conditions, identifying nervous waters, and practicing techniques that will improve your chances of catching redfish, trout, tarpon, and other saltwater species. Join us as we uncover the secrets to successful fishing, including how to mark your line for more accurate casts and the surprising truth about whether a redfish will take a bare hook. Rick also provides a step-by-step guide on planning your next fishing trip to South Texas, ensuring you know what to do and what to avoid. Episode Chapters with Rick Hartman on Texas Redfish Adventures 1:38 - Rick recounts his introduction to fly fishing, which began accidentally through older family members during childhood trips to farm ponds and the mountains. He explains that he didn't realize fly fishing could be done in saltwater until he was in junior high. 5:35 - He describes the Lower Laguna Madre area in South Texas. It's a remote area with few access points, mainly through Port Isabel and Port Mansfield, and airports in Harlingen and Brownsville. Rick mentions that while most fishing is within the bay system, there are opportunities to fish in the Gulf of Mexico for various species, though the rough and windy conditions often limit these outings. 9:55 - We talk about the best times to target redfish in his area. Rick mentions that fall, especially September to October, is an excellent time to fish due to consistent weather. Although August can be very hot and humid, it still offers good fishing. Overall, he advises avoiding winter if traveling from afar to ensure a better fishing experience. 14:13 - We ask him about the stingray tailing. Rick explains that they act like vacuum cleaners on the flats, picking up crabs and shrimp from the bottom. Fish like trout and redfish follow behind stingrays to catch the leftovers the stingrays miss. This behavior makes the fish so focused that they don't notice nearby boats. 17:59 - To find a fish, Rick emphasizes that the first and most crucial factor is the water level, which can change daily due to wind. He explains that he assesses various spots based on whether the water levels are suitable for his boat to float. He also considers wind direction and looks for sheltered shorelines where the water might be clearer. Rick contrasts this with trout fishing, noting that unlike trout, which behave predictably, redfish can be much more challenging. The conditions and fish locations can change so rapidly that even after having a fishing spot "wired" for a week or two, a short break can make it feel like starting over. 20:34 - We dig into his involvement in casting competitions. Rick mentions he participated in these competitions for about 12 years, drawn by the excitement and substantial prize money which attracted participants globally. One these events was by the International Sportsmen's Expo (ISE). 24:01 - Rick recounts his success in various casting events, describing the process where top casters get to choose their fishing spots. He shares that his interest in casting began because he found it enjoyable and started working at a fly shop where he taught casting and fly tying classes. He was introduced to casting tournaments by a Sage representative, which led him to participate and eventually excel in these competitions through extensive practice. 29:45 - We ask him for some casting techniques, particularly in challenging conditions like windy environments or saltwater fishing. Rick emphasizes the importance of practicing with targets, suggesting anglers use a single target to practice hitting from various distances and directions. He stresses the significance of making effective second casts if the first cast is off-target, rather than wasting time stripping the line back in and starting over. 35:17 - Rick emphasizes that the casting stroke should not change in the wind; instead, the elevation of the forward cast should be adjusted. He advises aiming the forward cast lower to the water to prevent the wind from pushing the fly back. He warns against using too much force, which can create larger loops and reduce aerodynamics, suggesting a more controlled and precise technique for better results. 43:26 - He describes his process for preparing and helping his guests catch fish on his boat. He usually stops the boat 200-300 yards from the fishing spot to approach quietly. He observes the water to identify patterns and waits for the right time to fish. Rick provides tips for his guests, such as stripping off line and false casting to prepare. Depending on the wind conditions, he maneuvers the boat to give his guests the best possible shot at casting. 45:59 - Rick explains that "nervous water" looks different from the regular water pattern and can be a sign of fish activity. He elaborates that while water generally has a consistent pattern, a small area with a different pattern could indicate fish. 50:29 - We get into fly tying. Rick shares that he ties his own flies because store-bought ones often don't meet his standards. He mentions purchasing supplies from various places, including shows and local fly shops like Bob Marriott's and Fishing Tackle Unlimited. When asked about his go-to fly patterns, Rick highlights a small, tan, cream-bodied, weedless crab pattern in different weights, and a white clouser with a weed guard, both effective for redfish and speckled trout. He notes that while these patterns work in most situations, adjustments are sometimes necessary. 53:39 - We ask him about the brands he have worked with. He mentions reels from Abel and Ross, highlighting their high-quality reels. He also praises Rise Fishing Co. for their excellent rods. For lines, he uses those from Airflo. 54:43 - When planning for a fishing trip in South Texas, Rick emphasizes the importance of preparation. He advises not to assume you're ready just because you've fished before. Given the significant investment in the trip, he suggests practicing casting regularly, perhaps in your yard, to improve accuracy and distance. He also recommends seeking help from a local fly shop instructor if necessary. 56:18 - We get into movies, podcasts, and music. Rick reveals his love for Guy Ritchie films, particularly "Snatch" and "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels," citing their great characters and one-liners. Our conversation shifts to media consumption during road trips. Rick shares that he listens to both music on Spotify and fly fishing podcasts, mentioning how his daughter introduced him to Spotify.

Today on The Storehouse Media Podcast, Sherrie Clark and Neil "The Media Giant" Haley of The Neil Haley Show interview Nick Stahl. Nick Stahl was born in Harlingen, Texas on December 5, 1979, to Donna Lynn, a brokerage assistant, and William Kent Stahl, a businessman. After his mother took him to see a children's play at the age of four, Nick confidently declared that acting would be his future. Commercials and community plays followed, two television movies were also released in the early 90s. The breakthrough he needed came next when he starred alongside Mel Gibson, who hand-selected Nick for the role, in The Man Without a Face (1993). Nick played Chuck, the little boy who befriends a stranger that was disfigured in an accident. At age 17 he was cast in Disturbing Behavior (1998) and the ensemble film The Thin Red Line (1998), which was nominated for Best Picture by the Academy Awards. He has continued to find success with acting, and though he has been featured in major studio productions he is still, to date, more widely known for his edgier and darker indie film roles.
