WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.640 Good morning and welcome in. It is Kentucky and is 2 00:00:02.680 --> 00:00:05.400 Morning News, Coffee and Company here on news Radio eight 3 00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:10.080 forty whas Nick Coffee. That's me On a July twenty 4 00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:13.400 eighth edition of the show The Full Cruise. Here, we've 5 00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:16.440 got Scott Fitzgerald, We've got John Shannon, and the one 6 00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:20.120 and only John Alden is back after a nice vacation. 7 00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:21.640 Should I say staycation? 8 00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:25.000 Definitely a staycation. So the first time in a long 9 00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:27.600 time that I've taken a full week off and not 10 00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:31.199 gone somewhere, and I think it helped the week go 11 00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:33.640 by slower, but in a good way. It felt like 12 00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:36.479 I got a full I feel much more rejuvenated than 13 00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:37.039 I thought I would. 14 00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:39.000 Yeah, I can imagine if there's not as much going on, 15 00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:42.520 it's not as hectic. It just I mean, it's you 16 00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:46.439 realize that there's more downtime. Of course, really Tom never changes. 17 00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:48.840 It's all just you know how you perceive it mentally. 18 00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:51.840 But nice to know that you're back with a with 19 00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:54.399 a you know, a week of rest, which sounds like 20 00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:56.799 you needed it. Not because you know, we wear you 21 00:00:56.840 --> 00:00:58.840 out with what you have to deal with every day 22 00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:00.960 with this this show, but obviously you know, your a 23 00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:03.719 new dad. There's a lot that comes with that bonding 24 00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:04.359 time too, right. 25 00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:06.519 Oh yeah, absolutely. There were three days last week where 26 00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:08.879 I was home alone watching the baby while my wife 27 00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:10.480 went up to school to get some things ready for 28 00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:11.640 the new school year coming up. 29 00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:12.439 So that was there. 30 00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:14.560 You got an interesting few days, but yeah, overall, a 31 00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:15.400 really good week off. 32 00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:17.719 Nice to hear, and we're certainly glad to have you back, Scott. 33 00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:21.840 You survived being outside seemingly all all day Saturday in Cincinnati. 34 00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:23.519 Was it as hot there as it was here? 35 00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:25.400 It was hot, dude? 36 00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:28.000 The Reds game, right, Yeah, yeah, it was fun, don't 37 00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:28.439 get me wrong. 38 00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:29.159 We had a great time. 39 00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:33.239 And then yesterday walked around historic Findlay Market in Cincinnati, 40 00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:36.879 which is awesome but hot, very very hot. 41 00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:39.840 You know, I when I see the huge crowds that 42 00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:42.439 that that were at the Reds game and the big 43 00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:46.200 crowds just out doing things, it's it's nice to know. 44 00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:48.439 That the heat wave, because that's what this is. 45 00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:51.200 This isn't just hey, the summertime is here and it's 46 00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:54.359 hot outside. This is genuinely a heat wave, and it 47 00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:57.000 doesn't keep people from still trying to go out and 48 00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:59.480 do things, which is good. But I also feel like 49 00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:01.280 when it's maybe this is just the whimp in me 50 00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:03.000 because I'm not as tough as others as far as 51 00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:05.159 dealing with the heat, I suppose, but it's such an 52 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:07.560 added component that, like you remember, yeah, we had a 53 00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:09.000 good time at the Reds game. Yeah, we had a 54 00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:10.960 good time at the market, but man, it was hot 55 00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:11.319 as hell. 56 00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:13.560 It was well and big and Big three was in 57 00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.680 town and they had they had a music festival. 58 00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:18.240 So like your weeking in Cincinnati. 59 00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:20.680 Then we were walking back to the car and I 60 00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:23.159 mean it was just wall to wall people and when 61 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:25.800 you put the heat on top of that with no breeze, 62 00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:27.199 it just stagnates. 63 00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:29.800 Oh yeah, Still it was crazy. 64 00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:31.439 But yeah, a lot of people out this weekend. 65 00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:35.120 Yeah, and I spent the majority, no joke, I probably 66 00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:38.319 spent more time either in a pool or pool side 67 00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:42.000 than maybe I ever have for just a weekend. Because Friday, 68 00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:45.479 we didn't really have a whole lot, nothing planned, and 69 00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:48.319 we just we can't keep the kids home without them, 70 00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:50.960 you know, losing their minds very often. So we just 71 00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:53.159 decided to go to my mom and stepdad's us They've 72 00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:54.639 got a nice poll set up that they let us 73 00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:57.319 mooch on pretty often. So we did a Friday evening 74 00:02:57.319 --> 00:02:58.919 by the pool, which was kind of nice. And by 75 00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:01.240 the way, it's because of just the heat. It's bathwater 76 00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:05.039 essentially still refreshing to an extent, but it's it's it's warm, 77 00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:06.919 the water's warm because of how hot it is outside. 78 00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:08.639 And then we spent really all day Saturday. 79 00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:08.879 There. 80 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:11.360 Did get out to a church picnic on Saturday evening, 81 00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:14.240 which was a lot of fun. Went to the Saint 82 00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:17.479 what is it Saint Michael picnic out there in Taylorsville 83 00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:20.199 Road area in jay Town. But again, you know, we're 84 00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:22.439 enjoying ourselves. Good, good to see some friends and catch 85 00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:24.479 up with some people. But when I think back on 86 00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:26.599 that night, I'll think, wow, I probably swept more that 87 00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:28.400 evening than I have in a long long time. 88 00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:30.800 It was hot, and it's I mean, you walk out 89 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:31.840 there this morning, it's hot. 90 00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:34.080 Oh yeah, but it doesn't nice that we're gonna get some. 91 00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:37.360 Really, my my, I guess when I when I and 92 00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:39.840 I checked the weather to know sort of what we're expecting, 93 00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:43.800 but really, what makes it seem either better or worse. 94 00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.360 It's just all humidity and when it's three o'clock in 95 00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:48.439 the morning, three thirty in the morning, whenever it is, 96 00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:50.960 I roll out of my house if I can. If 97 00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:53.639 I hit that garage door opener as I walk outside 98 00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:55.639 and it just smacks me in the face, that's when 99 00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:57.840 I know, Okay, here we go, better buckle up. Gonna 100 00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:00.639 be very very thick out side today. 101 00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:01.879 Does your garage heat up? 102 00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:02.520 Like? 103 00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:04.199 So, it's yeah. 104 00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:06.439 I mean, like if I if I just walk outside 105 00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:08.919 into the garage with the garage door shut, meaning walk 106 00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:11.319 outside of the garage from the house, it I mean, 107 00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:14.759 it's it's not comfortable by any means, but within five 108 00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:17.480 seconds of the of the garage door being opened, the 109 00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:19.639 big one. I mean, it's just a different world of heat. 110 00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:23.360 Like I've learned to having a garage is something I 111 00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:25.439 maybe who knows, maybe in the next house I won't 112 00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:29.279 have one. But it's not just because it keeps your 113 00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:32.079 car like covered in the cold. Like it put it 114 00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:34.720 this way, if my car is in a parking lot 115 00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:37.920 getting baked in the sun for an eight hour workday 116 00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:40.920 shift and then I go get in it at five 117 00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:43.079 o'clock to leave, I feel like it would take a 118 00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:45.319 while from my car to actually cool off. Whenever I've 119 00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:47.600 got it covered with a garage that it's like a 120 00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:49.319 little thing that makes the world of a difference. 121 00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:50.920 Yeah, exactly same in the winter. 122 00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:52.480 Same in winter. It's still nice. 123 00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:54.920 I appreciate having a garage. And also we have a 124 00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:56.759 pretty good set up here right. It goes along way 125 00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:59.240 when our cars are covered in this garage. 126 00:04:58.879 --> 00:04:59.279 It does. 127 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:01.319 You got to spend time by the pool grow. 128 00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:04.360 Yes, it was nice. Clyde, Okay, we're ready to rock. 129 00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:05.480 Get this week started. 130 00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:09.279 We've got John back, Scott's he's back after a fresh 131 00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:12.560 weekend in Cincinnati. I was pullsided, so hopefully you guys 132 00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:14.199 had a good weekend as well, and we got a 133 00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:16.160 lot to get into today. We'll talk about this big, 134 00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:20.360 big new piece of news from yesterday as we now 135 00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:25.480 have a deal with the European Union. Trump announced that yesterday, 136 00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:26.879 so we'll get into that and a lot more. It's 137 00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:29.040 Kentucky and this Morning News, Coffee and Company here on 138 00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:35.399 News RADIOA forty whas it sure is Monday, Monday, July 139 00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:38.399 twenty eighth. Where the hell did June and July go? 140 00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:41.279 I mean, July is still here. We've got a few 141 00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:45.120 days left, but I cannot believe how fast the summer 142 00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:49.800 months have completely flown by. And I mean, if you're 143 00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:52.680 a kid that's getting ready to go back to school, 144 00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:55.600 that probably sucks. But maybe it hasn't gone by fast 145 00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:57.439 for you, because again, time is all how you perceive it. 146 00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:00.160 It's actually one of the only and most consistent thing 147 00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:03.920 that exists. Time, right, so make it whatever you want, 148 00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:06.360 But I cannot believe how fast Juni's live gone by. 149 00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:09.680 And sure enough, starting next week, August the seventh, that 150 00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:12.959 will be the first day back to school for Jefferson 151 00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:17.399 County Public Schools here in Louisville and JCP. I said 152 00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:20.040 this a couple of weeks ago, whenever we were learning 153 00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:23.160 of the new superintendent of JCPS, Brian yearwould he made 154 00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:24.680 his first I believe it was his first trip to 155 00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:27.240 one of the one of the schools, and obviously I 156 00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:28.879 think he did a little media Q and A, and 157 00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:32.199 clearly he was going to be asked about the transportation situation, 158 00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:35.959 buses and all that, and I just remember thinking to 159 00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:38.639 myself at that time, this is going to be huge 160 00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:42.600 for this guy, right, Meaning however, the first couple of 161 00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:45.000 days go as far as you know, getting kids to school, 162 00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:47.959 which last I checked, that's a pretty big part of 163 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:49.959 the public school system, right, you got to be able 164 00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:52.680 to get the children to school in order to have school, 165 00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:56.720 So he could have he could be not at fault 166 00:06:57.319 --> 00:06:59.839 in any way directly if it ends up being like 167 00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:03.199 a complete fiasco, but just because of the job he's 168 00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:05.800 the superintendent, like it's all gonna fall on him, and 169 00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:08.879 I just I think that's a very very thankless job, 170 00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:10.759 and clearly somebody's got to do it, and it's a. 171 00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:11.600 Very important job. 172 00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:14.279 But I'm rooting for him, and I think if parents 173 00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:16.560 can do their part in making sure they have all 174 00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:19.439 the information that they need in order to help their 175 00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:22.439 kid get to school, that could help. That could help 176 00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:25.240 doctor Yearwood out. So let's let's do that, and let's 177 00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:28.240 let's help him. But today is actually the first day 178 00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:33.040 that they've opened up the hotline at JCPS, So with 179 00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:36.360 next Thursday being the first day for JACPS, they've set 180 00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:40.519 up I guess just this week up until maybe the 181 00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:42.360 day of school starting, and I'm sure they're going to 182 00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:44.279 clearly be there for you when school starts as well. 183 00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:48.040 But they now have information available where you can find 184 00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:51.680 your child's bus number, stop location, estimated pickup drop off time, 185 00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:54.519 using what is called the bus Teller Tool and that 186 00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:58.079 is on the JCPS website. You can also check the 187 00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:01.879 hotline which was activated as of As of today, it'll 188 00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:04.319 be activated. So yeah, it's a five oh two four 189 00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:07.920 eight five ride. It will open up today at nine am. 190 00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:10.839 It'll be open to four pm to help with transportation 191 00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:13.800 related questions, so they may extend those hours based on 192 00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:15.839 call volumes. So again, if you have a kid that 193 00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:18.959 is getting set to start the school year with JCPS 194 00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:21.759 and you, I mean you need all this information. I 195 00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:23.560 would assume a lot of you already have it, but 196 00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:26.920 why not just double check. Again, it's the JCPS website 197 00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:29.079 where you can see the bus Teller Tool, and then today, 198 00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:31.600 starting at nine am, you can call five oh two 199 00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:34.799 four eight five ride, which never hurts to be over 200 00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:35.879 prepared for something like this. 201 00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:37.879 Right now, all. 202 00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:43.200 Families must complete the transportation verification form that is out there, 203 00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:45.039 so even if your child isn't riding the bus, so 204 00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:47.519 regardless of how your kid gets to school, there there's 205 00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:52.679 this verification form that need needs to be In fact, 206 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:54.519 it looks like it already needed to be sent in, 207 00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:57.679 but if you didn't submit it by June thirteenth. You know, 208 00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:00.639 then they don't have any I guess record of how 209 00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:03.240 your kid plans to get to school. So just do 210 00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:06.240 your part to help this guy. I mean, I feel like, 211 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:09.480 no matter what happens, he's gonna get blamed for things 212 00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:13.879 that he probably inherited. But I think the fiasco that 213 00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:18.440 was twenty twenty three whenever they tried to get school 214 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:21.159 started and it became a national story because of just 215 00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:24.080 how big of a nightmare it was, that has led 216 00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:25.960 to at least for the next few years, and I'm 217 00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:28.559 talking about currently still people are gonna there's gonna be 218 00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:32.080 so much attention on the start of school to see 219 00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:34.840 if it's anything like that. And last year, I guess 220 00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:36.480 was a step in the right direction, because I'm not 221 00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:38.440 really sure they could have done much worse than what 222 00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:41.279 happened a couple of years ago. But again, if parents 223 00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:44.120 do their part, that can only help, right. I will 224 00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:46.159 talk to Rory O'Neil coming up about five to forty five. 225 00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:48.919 Scott's got our first sports update coming your way here 226 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:51.519 in just a moment. Obviously, we bringing Rory. We got 227 00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:54.720 to discuss the big news as Trump announced a major 228 00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:58.960 US European Union trade deal. We'll get to that, but 229 00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:01.399 first it's time for an up Todate eight on traffic. 230 00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:04.159 We'll get the latest with Rory O'Neil. I'm not Roy O'Neil, Sorry, 231 00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:06.559 Bobby Ellis, I asked. I ask enough of Rory. The 232 00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:08.080 last thing I'm gonna do is ask him to check 233 00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:10.639 the traffic, weather, Force, traffic and weather for us. I 234 00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:12.759 won't do that, but anyways, a check if traffic at 235 00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:14.240 weather's coming your way right here right now on news 236 00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:19.120 radioaight forty WHS. It is five thirty five here Kentucky 237 00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:22.519 and it's morning news. Coffee and company here on news 238 00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:25.480 Radio eight at forty WHAS Nick Coffee. That's me the 239 00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:28.960 company man, John ald On alongside. Don't forget take us 240 00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:31.200 with you wherever you go. Listen live on the iHeartRadio app. 241 00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:34.120 You can also listen live at WHAS dot com. So 242 00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:39.440 you heard John Shinnon mention that airline issue with American 243 00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:45.080 Airlines flight thirty twenty three that had to a landing 244 00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:48.639 gear problem. Is I guess what caused that? But the 245 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:51.480 visual doesn't have me feeling great. Is I'm about to 246 00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:54.919 fly this weekend for the first time in a while, 247 00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:57.279 and I think this is probably I was just thinking 248 00:10:57.279 --> 00:11:01.159 about it. This may be the longest it's in a 249 00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:04.480 long time since I've had this big of a gap 250 00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:08.360 between flying. I don't fly that often, but usually handful 251 00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:11.200 of times a year, rather it be for a getaway 252 00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:15.279 or just work in some capacity. And I don't believe 253 00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:20.519 I have flown since last August. So anyhow, I'm sure 254 00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.279 it'll be okay. But since then, we've actually had a 255 00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:27.559 handful of national stories as far as like things you 256 00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:32.240 just didn't see for a long time on domestic flights. 257 00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:36.960 So I always get pre travel anxieties. I'm just I'm. 258 00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:37.639 Wired like that. 259 00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:39.720 But yeah, the visual of what went on at the 260 00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:42.600 Denver Airport very very scary. 261 00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:44.159 So it says here that. 262 00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:47.440 They were preparing to depart from Denver to Miami yesterday 263 00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:51.879 and passengers heard a loud boom, saw smoke near the 264 00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:54.279 landing gear, and all one hundred and seventy three passengers 265 00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:58.879 and six six crew members exited via emergency slides. That 266 00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:01.080 was it, the smoke coming out of the plane and 267 00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:07.000 those seemingly inflatable blow up slides and people carrying their luggage, 268 00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:09.320 carrying their kids, and everything's okay. 269 00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:10.559 It seems like everybody's okay. 270 00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:14.399 But just seeing that doesn't make me feel better when 271 00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:19.000 it comes to potential issues with an airline, and I've 272 00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:21.279 never been I've never had anything bad happen to me 273 00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:24.679 on an airplane as far as like emergency landing, I 274 00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:27.559 bet as far as turbulence, I've probably had a pretty 275 00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:31.279 mild experience overall compared to some others. So I've never 276 00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:33.960 even had really that scary of a situation occur to me. 277 00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:36.440 But it doesn't take much to get me scared when 278 00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:39.320 it comes to flying, which I've at least now know. 279 00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:41.960 I now know that if there is a story, rather 280 00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:44.360 it be a huge story nationally, or maybe maybe not 281 00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:47.559 that big nationally, but it involves some type of issue, 282 00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:50.440 something happening on a plane. If I don't, you know, 283 00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:52.559 I can read the headlines, I can read the story, 284 00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:55.159 and that'll that'll scare me a little bit. But if 285 00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:57.759 I could just avoid seeing like the panic in people's 286 00:12:57.799 --> 00:12:59.759 face as they are getting off of a plane that 287 00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:02.200 looked like it was about to blow up, then I 288 00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:04.200 would it would probably help me. I don't benefit from 289 00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:08.840 seeing the visual of a situation like that, But anyhow, 290 00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:11.320 it sounds like those those folks are okay, one hundred 291 00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:14.799 and seventy three passengers and against six crew members. That's 292 00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:18.000 who had to exit exit that plane, and clearly a 293 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:21.799 pretty scary situation. Now another this isn't this isn't about 294 00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:24.320 any type of a flight situation. But this isn't something 295 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:27.039 you see very often. And I know I'm probably one 296 00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:29.679 of many that are eager to see what happens the 297 00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:31.480 rest of the way here, but there is a Delta 298 00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:37.320 co pilot that was arrested. Just again, there's no visual 299 00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:39.120 at least that I've seen as far as any coverage 300 00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:41.360 of this arrest, but it's just a scene you don't 301 00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:44.759 typically see. So a Delta Airlines flight at San Francisco 302 00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:48.639 International Airport was as soon as they landed, federal agents 303 00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:52.559 stormed the cockpit and arrested the coal pilot on I 304 00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:56.720 guess what appears to be some pretty serious charges. And 305 00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:00.279 I'm trying there's this overnight. There's been updates as far 306 00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:01.480 as what's going on here, and I don't want to 307 00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:04.399 get it wrong, but yeah, I mean as soon as 308 00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:07.960 soon as they as soon as the the plane landed, 309 00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:10.639 I guess, before anybody could even get off the plane, 310 00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:14.240 they they had agents storming the cockpit to arrest the 311 00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:17.679 co pilot. So I would imagine those charges are pretty 312 00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:20.320 serious if that's what they're gonna I mean, that's what 313 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:21.840 they're I mean, I don't know, just I'm thinking about 314 00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:24.159 all the potential impact here, right like if the guy, 315 00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:27.360 if this person was was aware they were wanted, and 316 00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:29.639 you know, they're they're in they're they're involved in a 317 00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:33.679 flight where you've got, you know, hundreds of people. I mean, 318 00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:36.720 I guess it probably makes sense to just make sure 319 00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:40.879 you apprehend them as quick as possible. I mean taking 320 00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:42.519 the plane hostage or something like that. I mean, that 321 00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:44.000 would be that would be an extreme thing. 322 00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:45.279 But yeah, I mean. 323 00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:48.639 Seeing the the you know, if you're on that plane 324 00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:51.159 and you see the guy who was, you know, in 325 00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:53.879 some way responsible for you getting from point A to 326 00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:56.080 point B on your flight with Delta, and I think 327 00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:57.440 it's I mean, to me, it would be pretty clear 328 00:14:57.440 --> 00:14:59.320 what they're doing. They're not taking him out, they're not 329 00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:01.600 rushing him off the plane because they're excited to see him. 330 00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:03.879 It's because they're in fact, they probably are excited to 331 00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:05.399 see them, but not for the reasons that you know, 332 00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:08.679 you might expect. But that's just me, you know, getting 333 00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:10.840 worried about traveling as I'm about to, you know, go 334 00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:13.519 on vacation next week, which I'm excited about, looking forward 335 00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:15.759 to it. But yeah, you just never know what you're 336 00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:18.120 gonna get at an airport, all right. I mean, I'm 337 00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:21.279 just taking an allegiant flight from here to destined, so 338 00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:22.919 it's not like I've got a long day of travel. 339 00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:26.360 But I just I accepted long ago that I have 340 00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:29.000 no control over what happens when you travel via airline. 341 00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:32.039 You know, you show up, maybe everything's gonna be okay, 342 00:15:32.039 --> 00:15:34.720 you're gonna be on time and it's smooth. Or maybe 343 00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:37.320 you show up and you know, they tell you, yeah, 344 00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:39.759 let's get on the plane and sit for two hours. 345 00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:41.720 Then they'll tell oh, sorry, we're gonna have to deboard 346 00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:45.720 and take a look at something under the hood. Oh yeah, sorry, 347 00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:48.480 note your flight's canceled. We'll get you out of here 348 00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:50.559 next week. I mean, that's and if they do that, 349 00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:53.159 what are you gonna do? You're helpless? So fingers crossed 350 00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:55.440 that it's that it's that it goes smoothly, all right. 351 00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:57.399 We're gonna be joined by a smooth individual on the 352 00:15:57.399 --> 00:15:59.080 other side, that's royal and Neil of NBC News he 353 00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:01.320 set to join us coming up in just a few minutes. 354 00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:04.159 But first let's get another update on the traffic with 355 00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:05.799 Bobby Ellis, and we'll take a look at the forecast 356 00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:08.120 for Matt Melosa, Bitch of wok Ry right here on 357 00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:13.000 News RADIOA forty whs. It's about forty six here Kentucky, 358 00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:15.399 and it's morning News. Coffee and company with you, Nick Coffee. 359 00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:18.639 That's me here on News RADIOA to forty whas. And 360 00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:21.679 we bring in mister Rory O'Neil of NBC News, who 361 00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:24.559 is joining us here. So, Rory, what can you tell 362 00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:29.759 us about this US and United an EU trade deal? 363 00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:31.879 Obviously this has been a big talking point, the tariffs 364 00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:34.000 for quite some time, and it does seem as if 365 00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:37.639 overall this is very good for seemingly everybody involved. 366 00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:42.279 Yeah, but we still are short on details. President Trump 367 00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:45.559 is in Scotland right now, and yesterday I announced that 368 00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:49.320 there is a trade deal with the European Union, although 369 00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:52.159 details are still hard to find. It does cap the 370 00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:56.080 tariffs at around fifteen percent for most products. There are 371 00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:00.240 some carveouts in the mix, especially when it comes to pharmaceuticals. Again, 372 00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:03.759 it's a bit of a moving target, but still a 373 00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:06.680 positive sign that some deal has been struck. The head 374 00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:10.160 of the EU also sounding like she likes the terms 375 00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:13.359 that she's seeing in this agreement. And we also heard 376 00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:15.599 from the Commerce Secretary this week and saying that they're 377 00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:18.119 going to start doing the tariffs on August first. They're 378 00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:21.359 not kicking the can down the road anymore. August first 379 00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:24.200 is the day the tariffs take effect around the world. 380 00:17:24.359 --> 00:17:27.480 So let's say that when August first does hit, which 381 00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:30.440 again is just a few days away, and others don't 382 00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:33.880 take the action that President Trump has been wanting to see, 383 00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:36.480 I mean, what's the first immediate effect of that. 384 00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:41.480 Well, you could start seeing these higher prices, or rather 385 00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:45.359 the higher cost to import products from fifteen to thirty 386 00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:48.599 percent depending on the country. And as we heard from 387 00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:52.599 Secretary Lot, look, they're still open to details to deals. 388 00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:54.920 Rather they can you know, if some country wants to 389 00:17:54.960 --> 00:17:57.839 strike a deal that helps them out or gets the 390 00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:01.119 lower tariff or makes American product it's more accessible in 391 00:18:01.160 --> 00:18:04.759 their country, they're still willing to negotiate, but they're just saying, 392 00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:08.039 you know, we've delayed this again and again. Remember Liberation 393 00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:10.799 Day was announced back in April. We thought the tariffs 394 00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:13.039 would be happening later that month and it was delayed 395 00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:15.960 to June, and now here we are going to August first. 396 00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:18.640 So they're just saying that, look, if we haven't gotten 397 00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:20.559 a separate deal, then we're going to have the rest 398 00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:24.279 of these tariffs take effect on most products. But remember, 399 00:18:24.359 --> 00:18:27.039 you know, this EU deal is important because they're one 400 00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:29.920 of our largest trading partners. I think technically they are 401 00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:32.680
