Speaker 1: Good morning, Kentucky, Anda hump Day is upon us. Welcome in.
Speaker 1: It is Kentucky at It's Morning News with Nick Coffee
Speaker 1: on news Radio eight forty WHAS five o six here
Speaker 1: on a Wednesday morning, and we've got you for the
Speaker 1: next four hours. Hopefully that's a long commitment, four hours
Speaker 1: of your time. That would be very, very courteous of you.
Speaker 1: So if you can't give us four hours, I do understand,
Speaker 1: but just know that wherever you go you can take
Speaker 1: us with you. Listen live on the iHeartRadio app. Also
Speaker 1: listen live at WHAS dot com. Certainly a lot to
Speaker 1: get into today, which I don't think we're going to
Speaker 1: get any definitive answers within the next four hours, but
Speaker 1: maybe we do. Are we going to war? Is that?
Speaker 1: Is that happening?
Speaker 2: I mean? Is that?
Speaker 1: Is that something that is we need to be worried about?
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got I mean, I'm looking here. This
Speaker 1: is this is a story that PBS put up last night.
Speaker 1: Trump bases difficult choices in support of Israel's war on Iran.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: This is from Vox Vox Vox News, not Fox Vox,
Speaker 1: with a v v for Vicky Uh. The surprising right
Speaker 1: wing push to keep us out of war. Uh this
Speaker 1: is from the Guardian. Trump cannot avoid the question much longer.
Speaker 1: Is he going to join Israel's war or not? And
Speaker 1: I don't know if we're gonna get answers to these questions,
Speaker 1: but we are going to talk to Rory O'Neil. It'd
Speaker 1: be a it'd be a tall task to put on
Speaker 1: Rory right, there'd be a lot of a lot on
Speaker 1: his shoulders if we if we if we depend on
Speaker 1: him to tell us in fact, are we going to
Speaker 1: war or are we not? But uh we shall, we
Speaker 1: shall see. I guess over the next, uh over the next.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Tough for me to say when we'll get any defenditive answer.
Speaker 1: And it's also tough to really know exactly what our
Speaker 1: president wants to do because when you have the reversal
Speaker 1: of the ice raids as far as who they are
Speaker 1: targeting when it comes to getting illegal immigrants out of
Speaker 1: this country. I mean, this is just this is where
Speaker 1: it's a little bit tough to to know exactly where
Speaker 1: he stands. Because after aially putting a halt on rating
Speaker 1: certain businesses, right restaurants, hotels, those type of industries, just
Speaker 1: within what four days now there's been now there's been
Speaker 1: a reversal, So yeah, I mean they reverse course and
Speaker 1: instructed these ICE agents to resume rating illegal immigrants who
Speaker 1: are in the agriculture business and hotels. So I guess
Speaker 1: maybe restaurants aren't part of that. But either way, when
Speaker 1: you see again, I said this, the whenever the news
Speaker 1: over the weekend became out that they were not they
Speaker 1: were no longer, at least at that time, focusing on
Speaker 1: those that were working in certain industries. Because you know,
Speaker 1: I think we all were aware, regardless of your thoughts,
Speaker 1: and when it comes to ICE and legal immigrants in
Speaker 1: this country, I think we all, if we're being honest
Speaker 1: with ourselves, realize we have industries here in America that
Speaker 1: are very much dependent on migrant workers. So we knew
Speaker 1: that going in, and if you claim that we don't,
Speaker 1: you're a liar. But now we had the pause and
Speaker 1: then days later and again this is just my thought.
Speaker 1: I can't prove it, just something that I kind of
Speaker 1: think maybe a factor here that just with things getting
Speaker 1: so contentious with the with Iran and Israel, it's just
Speaker 1: things are heated to where, Okay, wouldn't it wouldn't shock
Speaker 1: me at all if there was a all right, well
Speaker 1: the hell with it, we're gonna now we're now, we're
Speaker 1: now enforcing it everywhere, right, I mean, poly.
Speaker 4: Market's one of the it's one of the top cryptocurrency. Well,
Speaker 4: it's not cryptocurrency. It's just a currency market where people
Speaker 4: come bet on futures. And that's that's how I told
Speaker 4: Tony this story. That's why I knew Donald Trump was
Speaker 4: going to win the election the first time around before
Speaker 4: I went to bed, because it was everybody was putting
Speaker 4: money on him.
Speaker 3: And it's a great system.
Speaker 4: It's not always accurate, mind you, but it's a great
Speaker 4: system for kind of seeing where things are going, where
Speaker 4: they're trending. And according to poly Market, because I asked
Speaker 4: the same question you did, I looked up yesterday about
Speaker 4: fifty five, they're about fifty five percent that yes, the
Speaker 4: US is going to go ahead with intervention in what's
Speaker 4: going on in Israel, so.
Speaker 3: Fifty five, So we're just over half. I mean in
Speaker 3: that direction.
Speaker 1: Just try, you know, from someone that's very much outside
Speaker 1: of things to put it to put it lightly, when
Speaker 1: I try to check the temperature as best I can,
Speaker 1: which is not very good. It seems as if we're
Speaker 1: heading that way, and.
Speaker 3: Then then the question becomes what happens to our gas? Now?
Speaker 1: Was it my first thought? But that's I'm sure others
Speaker 1: will will will probably think the same thing, and certainly
Speaker 1: that'll be a factor. I mean, there's the hard hard
Speaker 1: to imagine that we won't see a change there at
Speaker 1: the gas pump. So again, we'll talk to Rory O'Neil
Speaker 1: coming up here about five forty five. What a loaded
Speaker 1: Wednesday we have for you. UFL Baseball survives yesterday. They're
Speaker 1: gonna play once again today taken on Coastal Carolina, which
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say it for today specifically, but maybe
Speaker 1: even long term. I'm anti Shanta clear.
Speaker 4: I love those jerseys though, Oh man, they're they're really
Speaker 4: really manufacturing some some disrespect that's not really there.
Speaker 1: Which again, you got to get an edge. It's competition,
Speaker 1: I get it, So we'll get into that. Also, no surprise,
Speaker 1: the TikTok band is going to get exten meaning it's
Speaker 1: not going anywhere just yet. And then yesterday some news
Speaker 1: broke at the end of the show. For those that
Speaker 1: might have missed it, I'm sure you've heard it by now,
Speaker 1: but U of l in the City of Louis, we're
Speaker 1: going to honor Tom Jurich where a part of Floyd
Speaker 1: Street will be named after Jurich. I've got some belated
Speaker 1: thoughts on that and just kind of my thoughts on
Speaker 1: the reaction to it, and we'll let you hear a
Speaker 1: little bit of what Mayor Greenberg had to say. So
Speaker 1: we've got you covered this morning again. It's Wednesday, it's
Speaker 1: five eleven. Let's get our first update of traffic and
Speaker 1: weather right here on news Radio eight forty whas it
Speaker 1: is five sixteen here at Kentucky had his morning news
Speaker 1: with Nick Coffee on News Radio eight forty whas. We'll
Speaker 1: have an update on sports coming your way in about
Speaker 1: ten minutes. John Shannon with his first newscast coming your
Speaker 1: way at five thirty and our news partner's over at WLKY.
Speaker 1: One of the stories that I see on their front
Speaker 1: on their front page of their website here, I'll just
Speaker 1: read you the headline and stick with me, because I'm
Speaker 1: going somewhere with this community pleading for justice after boy
Speaker 1: dies in Alca when neighborhoods shooting. And then there's also
Speaker 1: another story that gives some details about a separate incident
Speaker 1: where a man and a teenage boy were injured, and
Speaker 1: it sounds as if there have now been two miners
Speaker 1: children that have been charged in some form of fashion
Speaker 1: with this crime. And I don't know if it's because
Speaker 1: I'm I think if you're a parent and you don't
Speaker 1: maybe maybe some would not agree with this. All of
Speaker 1: us here are parents, but I think a lot of
Speaker 1: things change as far as perspective when you become a parent.
Speaker 1: But when I see this become not so surprising that
Speaker 1: some of the violence in our community, and you know,
Speaker 1: murders that take place involve children rather it be them
Speaker 1: being the victims or them being the ones who commit
Speaker 1: the crime, I don't want it to ever become not surprising.
Speaker 1: So I guess my question is, and there's really no
Speaker 1: way to know this. This isn't normal, right, Like, this
Speaker 1: isn't something that's been like, you know, I feel like
Speaker 1: whenever preach children. Long before I became a dad, I
Speaker 1: don't feel like these kind of stories were as common
Speaker 1: and I don't act like it happens every single day,
Speaker 1: but it happening, ever is certainly an issue and concerning.
Speaker 1: But I don't know if it's more so just me
Speaker 1: having a different really a different life when you've become
Speaker 1: a parent. It's just different. But man, it's just it's
Speaker 1: it's so sad and scary. Like I the first thing
Speaker 1: that comes to mind for me when I see especially
Speaker 1: these kind of situations, but even not not even violence
Speaker 1: to this level where you're talking about murder or whatnot,
Speaker 1: but just the youth, right, like, who's raising these kids?
Speaker 1: Like like like yes, I mean it's yeah, And I
Speaker 1: hate to sound like well back in my day, but
Speaker 1: I guess I will do it back.
Speaker 3: I just when it comes.
Speaker 1: To parents now, and I don't want to put everybody
Speaker 1: under the same umbrella, but there certainly seems to be
Speaker 1: way more of well, there's just no way my kid
Speaker 1: did something wrong. I got to go address this with
Speaker 1: the teacher or the administrator or whoever's in charge, whoever
Speaker 1: my kid is, because there's just no way. That wasn't
Speaker 1: how it's that was not how things were when I
Speaker 1: was growing up. Because teachers, you know, grown ups, way
Speaker 1: more often than not they got the benefit of the
Speaker 1: doubt over a kid just saying oh no, mom, it
Speaker 1: wasn't me. They're they're picking on me. Now the teacher
Speaker 1: doesn't like me, or the assistant principal. No, I had
Speaker 1: to punch him in the face because you know he
Speaker 1: was just looking at me. Funny, mom, you have to
Speaker 1: like to me. It just it's it's scary.
Speaker 3: I think. I think it's you're right, you're you're a
Speaker 3: spot on.
Speaker 4: And I think it all started back even when my
Speaker 4: daughter was coming up, maybe about twenty years ago. It
Speaker 4: was the first generation that where parents couldn't parent their
Speaker 4: own kids the way they were parented in a lot,
Speaker 4: in large part due to technology at the time, you know,
Speaker 4: MySpace and these were all the early infancy ones and
Speaker 4: then of course now they're on. My wife couldn't tell
Speaker 4: you how Snapchat works, you know, she couldn't tell you
Speaker 4: how some of these apps work. And I'm not saying
Speaker 4: that directly attributes to it. I'm saying it's a huge
Speaker 4: culture gap that lies here, and some parents are just
Speaker 4: beside themselves and they're like, I can't get a handle
Speaker 4: on this.
Speaker 3: You know, our parents.
Speaker 4: Used to be able to sit and listen to us
Speaker 4: talk on the phone, and you know, we couldn't go anywhere.
Speaker 3: We had to be more not so much.
Speaker 4: Maybe your generation where you guys, I think you came
Speaker 4: in with you still had the cell phones.
Speaker 1: Growing up, we were in a I say we those
Speaker 1: of those that are sort of I guess in my
Speaker 1: in my age range, I feel like I had the
Speaker 1: best of both worlds because as a young kid, we
Speaker 1: didn't have technology where the Internet was really anything other
Speaker 1: than a dial up thing that wasn't that useful, and
Speaker 1: we didn't really we didn't have smartphones. Put it that way.
Speaker 1: We had cell phones when I was like when I
Speaker 1: was a teenager, but you couldn't really do a whole
Speaker 1: lot on them other than maybe phone for call somebody,
Speaker 1: And the text message didn't become a thing until like
Speaker 1: I was about seventeen, So you know, it was different.
Speaker 4: On parents could parents were more dialed in and culture's changed,
Speaker 4: and eventually we'll evolve and parents will figure this out.
Speaker 4: And I also I still think though a large number
Speaker 4: of the younger generation is probably our next greatest generation.
Speaker 4: I think there's a lot of good that comes out
Speaker 4: of that generation. But to your point, it's an issue
Speaker 4: for parents.
Speaker 1: Look, it's one thing to be involved to a level
Speaker 1: of where you are a victim of gun violence or
Speaker 1: you are you are somebody who's who's a criminal. That's
Speaker 1: one thing, But I just the amount of exposure that
Speaker 1: kids have to that lifestyle is insanely scary to me. Exactly,
Speaker 1: just is so agree scary stuff. All right, We've got
Speaker 1: an update of traffic and weather coming your way. Also
Speaker 1: our first update of sports with Scott right here. It
Speaker 1: is five twenty one. Kentucky had his morning news with
Speaker 1: Nick Coffee on news radio eight forty whas. Thanks so much,
Speaker 1: John Shannon. It is five thirty five. Here Kentucky at
Speaker 1: his morning news with Nick Coffee on news radio eight
Speaker 1: forty whas so Mayor Greenberg. He joined us yesterday at
Speaker 1: eight forty five. Big thanks to Mayor Greenberg for breaking
Speaker 1: that news with us here.
Speaker 3: That was right job. By the way, thank you that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I've had people ask me, hey, how'd
Speaker 1: that come about? And it's really not a wild story.
Speaker 1: I've known Craig Greenberg for a while before he was
Speaker 1: the actual mayor, which I'm very glad that I've got
Speaker 1: to know him prior to him, you know, running for
Speaker 1: mayor and of course becoming the mayor of Louisville. And
Speaker 1: I consider him a friend. I would hope he'd say
Speaker 1: the same about me.
Speaker 3: But he was.
Speaker 1: He was here for his first in studio appearance a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, in my first week. And he's
Speaker 1: a big Louisville fan. I know some people give him
Speaker 1: a tough time because you know, he has been to
Speaker 1: UK events. He's not. I mean, look, he's the mayor
Speaker 1: of Louisville, where there are a ton of Kentucky fans,
Speaker 1: bet our residents. He'd be foolish to be very anti UK,
Speaker 1: but make no mistake about it, he's a Louisville fan
Speaker 1: and when the two are playing, there's no hesitancy as
Speaker 1: far as which way he's leaning. But anyhow, you know,
Speaker 1: he and I we talked. We've talked about uf L
Speaker 1: stuff for a long time, and he was he was,
Speaker 1: I think, itching to tell somebody. He knew I would
Speaker 1: certainly appreciate the news. So he said, you won't believe
Speaker 1: what we're doing coming up later this month. We were
Speaker 1: planning to do something special for Tom Jurch on campus,
Speaker 1: and I just said, man, there's this new show or
Speaker 1: a new host in town that might really be able
Speaker 1: to benefit from having this piece of news. Maybe break
Speaker 1: on that show and He's like, yeah, that'd be great.
Speaker 1: And I didn't think he'd think much about it because
Speaker 1: and he didn't owe that to me by any means.
Speaker 1: But he called me Monday and said, Hey, I'm going
Speaker 1: to post the video at nine am, but how about
Speaker 1: coming on with you at eight forty five. I can't
Speaker 1: be in studio, but I come on eight forty five,
Speaker 1: share with you first, and then I'll and then it'll
Speaker 1: be public at nine. And I was like, yeah, let's
Speaker 1: do it. Sounds good to me, which it worked out well,
Speaker 1: but that I shouldn't admit this, But that's the first
Speaker 1: time I really knew what like embargoed means. You know,
Speaker 1: I knew of it, I knew generally, I knew what
Speaker 1: it meant, but I'd never really been I mean, in
Speaker 1: the news that I've been covering in for the majority
Speaker 1: of my career, it's not big, big time breaking news.
Speaker 1: So it was nice to have to have the mayor
Speaker 1: share that for here with us, and we certainly appreciate it.
Speaker 1: And I think this news is I believe it's only
Speaker 1: going to benefit everyone involved with the U of L
Speaker 1: athletics community, because there are some that were so close
Speaker 1: to Tom Jurich, and we're clearly well aware of how
Speaker 1: impactful he was. This is not and I'm not here
Speaker 1: to glaze Tom Jurich and gas him up because he
Speaker 1: doesn't need that. I'm just sharing the honest truth is
Speaker 1: this is a fact, not an opinion. The success that
Speaker 1: is going on currently with UL athletics and the success
Speaker 1: that will hopefully take place in the future, a lot
Speaker 1: of that is because of the foundation that was set
Speaker 1: by Tom Jurich. And now, as we speak here at
Speaker 1: five thirty eight on June eighteenth, and we are just
Speaker 1: hours away from the Louislle baseball team playing once again
Speaker 1: in the College World Series, there is a lot of
Speaker 1: really good energy right now, more so that I can
Speaker 1: than I can remember in a long time. I mean,
Speaker 1: you've got so much good energy with Pat Kelsey, You've
Speaker 1: got Jeff wall still having the women's program in such
Speaker 1: a great place, and obviously how about Dan McDonald now
Speaker 1: in the final four in college baseball, and of course
Speaker 1: with football, you're clearly ahead of schedule with Jeff Brom,
Speaker 1: and you could have unlimited money and not be able
Speaker 1: to pay somebody that can give you what Jeff Brom
Speaker 1: gives you because Jeff Brom is one of us we
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about. Does he understand the job?
Speaker 1: Is he cool that we play on Friday nights? No,
Speaker 1: he's This is a I mean, the Brom DNA in
Speaker 1: Louisville football DNA are kind of one and the same.
Speaker 1: So to do this when there's really good energy and
Speaker 1: to have such good leadership from Josh Hurd right now
Speaker 1: and him not in any way be bothered or threatened
Speaker 1: by this, and I don't I don't think. I don't
Speaker 1: know why anybody would ever assume that he would. But
Speaker 1: let's be honest. Some of this, some of this back
Speaker 1: and forth, there've been some administrative there's been some administrative
Speaker 1: things that have happened with you have athletics where there
Speaker 1: is a little bit of a cattiness and a competitiveness
Speaker 1: as far as who's getting credit the previous regime, you know,
Speaker 1: current regime, all that kind of stuff. So h and
Speaker 1: by the way, for those who don't know, Josh worked
Speaker 1: under Tom initially when he was first here at.
Speaker 3: U of L.
Speaker 1: So I think this is this is this is a
Speaker 1: win win because if there were people that were maybe
Speaker 1: hesitant to be as supportive of u of L, or
Speaker 1: maybe they were hesitant to support financially u of L
Speaker 1: because of the Tom Jurich departure and how messy that
Speaker 1: got at the end. This can only help that, and
Speaker 1: I'm happy that Tom's agreed to do it and he's
Speaker 1: going to be here. I think you know as far
Speaker 1: as what this means for like the future of you
Speaker 1: OFL athletics when it comes to success, I don't know,
Speaker 1: but this, to me, this is perfect timing. And regardless
Speaker 1: of your thoughts on Jurich, I'm not here to try
Speaker 1: to change your opinion of him, but I think it'd
Speaker 1: be hard to imagine in one hundred years we look
Speaker 1: back and say there was anybody as impactful for the
Speaker 1: universities athletic department than Tom Jerrich.
Speaker 3: Well, that was the social media chatter.
Speaker 4: I looked at that after your interview with the mayor
Speaker 4: and there is nothing but it was overwhelmingly positive for
Speaker 4: Tom Juriche. There will always be distractors, but yeah, I
Speaker 4: think you're spot on it. It's perfect timing. The vibe
Speaker 4: is good as the cherry on top for Louisville. If
Speaker 4: you're a U of L fan, you're certainly excited.
Speaker 3: No doubt hanging in.
Speaker 1: The vibes are good, and the vibes are good with
Speaker 1: us here Kentucky and it is morning News. We've got
Speaker 1: Rory O'Neil. He is a vibe enhancement if I've ever
Speaker 1: seen one. Rory's going to join us coming up on
Speaker 1: the other side to give us the latest on are
Speaker 1: we going to war? Why was there a quick reversal
Speaker 1: of the of the ice raid policy? As far as
Speaker 1: who they're targeting. We'll see what Rory can tell us.
Speaker 1: On the other side. It's Kentucky and it's Morning News
Speaker 1: on News Radio eight forty whas five forty five. Here
Speaker 1: Kentucky and it is Morning News on News Radio eight
Speaker 1: forty whas. Nick Coffee with you, and I am now
Speaker 1: joined by Rory O'Neill of NBC News. So we have
Speaker 1: seen a reversal here on the brief pause that was
Speaker 1: out there for a few days roughly on the ice
Speaker 1: raids that were targeting illegal immigrants and work places like farms, hotels.
Speaker 1: So now we are back to the aggressive enforcement. Do
Speaker 1: we know, Rory, what led to a quick change, Well.
Speaker 2: You know it was last week when President Trump, I
Speaker 2: think it was on truth Socials said, Okay, I've been
Speaker 2: talking to some of my friends in agriculture and in
Speaker 2: the hospitality industry. I recognize that these ICE raids have
Speaker 2: been disruptive for you. So he sort of just mentioned
Speaker 2: stuff online that maybe they'd be taking their foot off
Speaker 2: the gas pedal. But on Monday, the Department of Homeland
Speaker 2: Security clarified things and said, nope, we are proceeding full
Speaker 2: bore just as before, to continue these enforcement operations regardless
Speaker 2: of where they may happen, So there will be no
Speaker 2: special treatment for the hospitality and agriculture industries.
Speaker 1: I mean, this certainly seems as if there's the priority
Speaker 1: is immigration enforcement over economic concerns. Clearly, the decision last
Speaker 1: week to no longer pursue illegal immigrants in those industries
Speaker 1: made it seem as if there was awareness that, yes,
Speaker 1: we do as a country in certain industries heavily rely
Speaker 1: upon migrant workers, and this is going to impact the economy. Right.
Speaker 1: I don't see a scenario where, if in fact, they
Speaker 1: are successful, meaning ICE, in really enforcing this to the
Speaker 1: extent they want to, I'd be shocked if we don't
Speaker 1: see an impact on the economy.
Speaker 2: Well, look, there is this generally accepted wink in a nod, right, like, Okay, well,
Speaker 2: well sort of let you stay if you're the one
Speaker 2: picking the tomatoes and doing the dishes and processing the
Speaker 2: meat at the poultry plant, right, we sort of that's
Speaker 2: sort of the tacit agreement. But we're going to be
Speaker 2: more aggressive. Of course, if you break any laws, then
Speaker 2: we're going to come after. But if you quote unquote
Speaker 2: behave and do the jobs that Americans don't want to do, well,
Speaker 2: we'll turn to blind eye to the situation. Problem is
Speaker 2: so many economies have become dependent on that, in the
Speaker 2: construction industry, in agriculture, in hospitality, and this can be
Speaker 2: disruptive when you then scare people who now won't step
Speaker 2: forward to take up those day labor jobs or things
Speaker 2: like that. You're right, it really can have a significantly
Speaker 2: negative impact on the economy.
Speaker 1: ICE reports that seventy three percent of recent arrests target
Speaker 1: immigrants with criminal records. That of course challenges the narrative
Speaker 1: that's out there that raids only hit non criminals. Do
Speaker 1: we have any idea if that has been to me,
Speaker 1: that seems like, if that data is in fact legitimate,
Speaker 1: that to me seems like a good sign that they are,
Speaker 1: in fact really targeting people who, for the most part,
Speaker 1: that are not only here legally, but are criminals.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I read carefully into how that was worded, because
Speaker 2: what we also got was a report last week that
Speaker 2: showed that since October of last year, I think through
Speaker 2: March of this year, about ten percent of the people
Speaker 2: actually taken into custody had criminal convictions. So it's so
Speaker 2: maybe that's who the raids are going after, that's their intent,
Speaker 2: and they're getting seventy three percent, but when they have
Speaker 2: a general swing, maybe it's only ten percent. It's tough
Speaker 2: to look at what the specific data is. You know,
Speaker 2: how they can be with sumers. Oh yeah, but I
Speaker 2: think the general consensus is, look, if you're a criminal,
Speaker 2: every American wants police to arrest them, right regardless of
Speaker 2: their immigration status. If they're breaking you know, if they're
Speaker 2: a criminal and they're hurting people, absolutely arrest them. But
Speaker 2: I think there is and the administration has said we're
Speaker 2: going to focus on the rapists and the murderers. But
Speaker 2: when it comes down to wait a minute, that the
Speaker 2: daycare worker was the one swept in the rain, but
Speaker 2: I like hers. She takes care of my daughter. You
Speaker 2: know that's a very different kind of it hits home
Speaker 2: in a very different way.
Speaker 1: Rory. I'm still relatively new in this position, and I'm
Speaker 1: learning a lot. And one thing I've learned in a
Speaker 1: major way is that it's tough to know what's true.
Speaker 1: I now know for sure just because it's on the
Speaker 1: Internet doesn't mean that it is true. There are a
Speaker 1: lot of you know, respected outlets that I have a
Speaker 1: tough time knowing which one is necessarily giving us the
Speaker 1: most truth. But I'm sure you're used to that.
Speaker 2: You just have to read what's there careful, Wait a minute,
Speaker 2: what does that really say? Look, baseball stats are pretty
Speaker 2: black and white or you know, and that's those are
Speaker 2: easier to understand some of this political stuff. You know,
Speaker 2: no one's really spinning. Baseball stats or football stats are.
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, they are what they are, right.
Speaker 2: That's right, they are there. But when it comes to politics,
Speaker 2: oh boy.
Speaker 1: I think I had some awareness of that going in,
Speaker 1: but man, it has been really evident in these last
Speaker 1: few weeks, and I don't I don't expect that it'll
Speaker 1: change anytime some Rory o'nail is our guests from NBC News, just.
Speaker 3: Like the audience, you're just like the audience. That's the
Speaker 3: great part.
Speaker 1: So real quick. There's a new study that is out
Speaker 1: on both the best and worst run cities in the
