It was a vampire book.
Jennifer NajeraHOST
It's called The Vampires of El Norte, and it was recommended by our friend Christina, who was maybe thinking about teaching it in an introduction to Mexican-American studies because it is set during the period right before the Mexican Revolution and during the Mexican Revolution in South Texas.
Jennifer NajeraHOST
And it represents the rancho class where you have these wealthy landowners and it's from the perspective of a daughter who is set to be probably married off to another ranching family to consolidate their political clout power, economic clout.

Egberto WilliesHOST
And Hillary, you know, Hillary has a great history in Texas, in South Texas.
Egberto WilliesHOST
Hillary was responsible for getting a lot of people registered.
Egberto WilliesHOST
Hillary, I once had an affinity for Hillary until much happened to change her.
Steve TreviñoHOST
He goes, he, he goes, "I really felt like the competition here is, is better than New Braunfels."
Renae TreviñoHOST
They take baseball very seriously, [clears throat] excuse me, in South Texas.
Steve TreviñoHOST
Yeah.
Renae TreviñoHOST
And I feel like 'cause the fields there are so nice, like, people travel from the v- 'cause we don't really see teams from the valley where we are here.
17 MINS LATER
Renae TreviñoHOST
Yeah.
Steve TreviñoHOST
They, they never complained or they weren't mean to Garrett.
Steve TreviñoHOST
But I promise you, Darren, I could bet my life that had a kid from South Texas showed up to play in New Braunfels and took shortstop, it would've been a fucking nightmare for that coach.
Renae TreviñoHOST
Parents would've been upset.
Wells DunbarCORRESPONDENT
And judging from the response, Texans have a pretty long shopping list.
Wells DunbarCORRESPONDENT
Jessica called in with a recommendation from South Texas.
JessicaAUDIENCE
You guys really got to check out Falfuria's butter, made right in Falfuria's Texas, of course.
Wells DunbarCORRESPONDENT
And she was not exactly restrained in her endorsement.
TowerHOST
Vandenberg Space Force Base on the California's central coast.
TowerHOST
Starbase, the SpaceX facility at Boca Chica in South Texas.
TowerHOST
Wallops Island in Virginia, and more commercial launch pads coming online over the next few years.

Each of those sites has associated launch corridors, restricted airspace ocean overlays, downrange hazard areas that can extend hundreds of miles.

TowerHOST
The DOT wants that solved before the cadence reaches a level where controllers are dealing with re-entering vehicles as a routine part of the traffic picture.
TowerHOST
Let me give you a sense of the timeline, because this is not an abstract future concern.
TowerHOST
In South Texas, SpaceX's Boca Chica launch site has already generated real operational disruptions for pilots flying coastal routes, approaches into Brownsville, and training operations in the region.
TowerHOST
The reviews for expanded launch cadence there drew public comment from aviators who fly those routes every week.
Isaiah MitchellPANELIST
And now his legislation is like, you know, a top priority for the president.
Mary Elise O'BarrPANELIST
Yeah, well, not to totally shift focus here, but something I wanted to mention before we moved on from convention was some of the speakers that were invited to some of the candidates that were invited to speak at convention, I thought were notable because there's kind of a South Texas theme.
Mary Elise O'BarrPANELIST
There are a couple of candidates who are in some races that are just really important for the convention.
Mary Elise O'BarrPANELIST
Republican Party.
Mary Elise O'BarrPANELIST
There was on the lineup is Monica de la Cruz and then her brother, Carlos de la Cruz, Tana Tijerina, and then I'm forgetting somebody else, Eric Flores, I believe, as well.
Mary Elise O'BarrPANELIST
But I thought that was interesting because just because South Texas really is being watched so closely by Republicans, not just in Texas, but it's being watched you know, at the national level as well.
Mary Elise O'BarrPANELIST
Um, because Republicans are, you know, there's that Latino vote that they're working to, to make sure that they can have during this election.
Mary Elise O'BarrPANELIST
Cause you know, Trump was able to win it.

Blake HortonHOST
They might be the same.
Blake HortonHOST
You know that the Mexico dove down in South Texas, I always talk about them.

Blake HortonHOST
That's what these things look like.
