AUSTIN, Texas – Former President Donald Trump came to Austin on Friday. Supporters were dipping out of work and into some barbecue sauce at the County Line on the hill.
Trump came to Austin to speak with the well-known podcaster Joe Rogan.
“Well, my husband told me I had to cancel some appointments, so I could be here, but I just didn’t want to miss it,” Debbie Kobe said.
The Travis County Republican Party hosted the event, bringing a packed house to the Southwest Austin Restaurant.

“There’s a lot of people, and I hope there’s going to be more,” said Wren Wallace.
People talked politics over their sides of potato salad, all eager to see the 45th President.
“Just looking to show my support for President Trump and JD Vance, and if he sees us out there on the side of the highway, I think that can only lift his spirits, and he’s gotta need it,” said Michael Kobe.
Former President Trump landed at the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and gave a speech before heading through town.
“I’m excited that Trump is in town and that I would have a chance just to see the motorcade go by,” said Jennifer Lozano.
Donald Trump’s visit was expected, as he was scheduled to appear on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast.
“One of the things that I love about President Trump is he’ll go anywhere, he’ll talk to anybody, answer anybody’s questions,” said Chris Kobe. “Joe Rogan’s obviously a huge, huge podcaster and has a big audience.”
Rogan’s podcast is known for covering everything from politics and current events to aliens and science.

PHOTOS: Remi Wolf – Austin, TX – 10/11/24
Remi Wolf took the Emo’s Austin stage on October 11, 2024 as part of an ACL Nights performance. Tacked onto her Big Ideas tour, Remi Wolf made a stop on Saturday of weekend two of Austin City Limits, but performed a night show the day before at Emo’s. ACL Nights makes it possible for folks to see acts coming through the festival without the full-weekend price tag.
Opening the show was slimdan, a Berklee College of Music grad who has been an established singer/songwriter since he was 15. Now based in Los Angeles, slimdan has over 100,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, and played his top hits, like Celebrity Lookalikes and Nosebleeds.
Remi Wolf’s act began at 11:15pm, giving patrons of ACL time to commute over to Emo’s should they want to catch her set early or keep the party going. The Big Ideas tour came through Austin halfway through it’s first leg, before going overseas and then back into the US. She will be returning to Austin again on this tour in May of 2025 at the Moody Amphitheater, a much bigger venue than Emo’s or Stubb’s, where she performed in 2023.
The set began with a bang, opening with a fan favorite from her previous album “Juno”, Disco Man. Then right into the next banger, Cinderella from “Big Ideas”. Throughout the night she played everyone’s favorites, like Liz, Sexy Villain, Alone in Miami, and even a cover of Life is a Highway by Rascal Flatts.
Remo Wolf’s energy is contagious. She dances around the stage, screams, interacts with the crowd– it’s definitely a must-see act. The Big Ideas tour continues throughout the UK in 2024 and comes back to the US in 2025. Get more info at https://www.remiwolf.com/tour/.

Michael Taaffe Sends Message to Texas Longhorns Fans
AUSTIN — After putting together his best performance of the season in Saturday’s 27-24 win over No. 25 Vanderbilt, Texas Longhorns safety Michael Taaffe delivered a message to the fans.
“I’m so proud of Longhorn Nation,” Taaffe said. “I appreciate all y’all. If y’all are listening, keep showing up. It makes a huge difference for us.”
The crowd at FirstBank Stadium in Nashville was nearly filled to the brim with burnt orange, and it seemed to ultimately make a difference in a game where the Longhorns were far from perfect.
Taaffe was one of the highlights in a mistake-filled win for Texas. He finished with six total tackles (three solo), a forced fumble and an interception. With Andrew Mukuba out due to a knee injury and Derek Williams Jr. already done for the season, Taaffe stepped up in a major way and continued to prove why he’s one of the team’s most important leaders.
The picked marked his first of the season and fourth of his career.
Taaffe had made it clear leading into the Vandy game that the team was going to learn from its mistakes after the loss to Georgia.
“I’ve heard Coach Saban say this before when just listening to his press conferences… when our team had a bad game, I almost hated winning that game because my team doesn’t get to see how heavy those mistakes were,” Taaffe said. “But now that we lost, and we feel that emotion of losing, we get to see how much those mistakes actually weigh, and we can take those into consideration, not just lightly, because we won. Well, we lost this time. And so now we understand how big mistakes are, how good college football teams are, and how hard it is to win and in this conference, especially.”
