Texas Standard For July 24, 2018
How Rockdale went from mining coal to mining Bitcoin — we’ll explore today on the Texas Standard. Plus, critics say President Trump’s regulatory rollback plan would be his biggest yet — we’ll explain. We’ll also talk with people in Victoria about the house of worship that was burnt down and what came out of the ashes. In our Spotlight on Health, it’s called the kissing bug — but we’ll tell you why you need to beware of its smooch. And some high schools are getting ready for kids playing video games as sport. Crank it up — it’s the Texas Standard.
