WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:02.839 Good morning, Kentucky, Ina. It is seven oh five here Kentucky, 2 00:00:02.839 --> 00:00:05.639 INA's morning news with Coffee and Company on News Radio 3 00:00:05.639 --> 00:00:09.720 eight forty whas Nick Coffee. That's me John on alongside. 4 00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:12.880 Thanks to John Shannon for the latest newscast. We'll have 5 00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:16.399 sports coming your way in about twenty minutes with Scott Fitzgerald. 6 00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:19.679 And one of the big stories really nationally this morning 7 00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:22.879 right now, certainly on the national radar, comes from our 8 00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:25.960 home state here in Kentucky. As yesterday, it all started 9 00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:30.559 around eleven thirty am when a trooper was shot after 10 00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:34.079 he pulled over a suspect near the Bluegrass Airport. After 11 00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:37.920 the traffic stop got underway. The suspect opened fire during 12 00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:41.679 that traffic stop and obviously from there got a lot worse. 13 00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:45.359 He ended up than carjacking someone, and thankfully there were 14 00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:48.200 no injuries reported at that incident, But then he made 15 00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:51.479 his way to the Richmond Road Baptist church and shot 16 00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:54.920 and killed two people. And there are others that are 17 00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:59.000 injured as well, including the officer who was shot. His status, 18 00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:01.560 I've not heard an update this morning, but as if yesterday, 19 00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:04.719 there's been no real update at all on the status 20 00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:08.200 of that officer as well as the identity of the suspect. 21 00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:11.079 I would imagine we'll get that at some point today. 22 00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:13.239 There's a lot of people, I mean, I feel like 23 00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:15.799 every time I open up Facebook or even Twitter, I 24 00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.640 see someone sharing a picture of who will probably end 25 00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:22.239 up being who this suspect is. It just hasn't been 26 00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:25.200 confirmed yet, so and of course people will dig into 27 00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:29.280 everything about this person and try to blame one of 28 00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:32.239 the political sides as far as of their you know, see, 29 00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:35.040 this isn't a lefty, this isn't a map, I mean, 30 00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:36.959 and it's just kind of if I've learned that pretty 31 00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:39.799 quickly here in this this role that anytime there is 32 00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:44.959 a situation, really any situation in the world, probably there 33 00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:47.319 are people that are wired to just decide, well, how 34 00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:50.359 can we blame this on the other side of of 35 00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:53.519 of the aisle, And it's it's not surprising anymore. But 36 00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:55.359 I don't know, that's not the first thing that comes 37 00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:57.000 to mind for me when it when when you have 38 00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:00.920 situations like this. But maybe I'm maybe I'm in the minority. 39 00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:04.239 But again, we'll probably found that later today. Because yesterday 40 00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:07.120 the press conference in Lexton, law Enforcement said that they 41 00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.159 were going to make it public. However, they decided to 42 00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:12.840 do that as far as the identity of the suspect 43 00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:16.159 once the suspects family has been notified, so I would 44 00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:21.719 expect that that comes today. Also an overall scary situation, 45 00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:23.960 but nobody hurt, which at the end of the day, 46 00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:27.039 that's a great thing, especially when you consider what happened 47 00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:29.520 in Lexington. But in Louisville here during one of the 48 00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:32.039 big events that this city has every year, the run 49 00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:35.360 for the Roses Girls basketball Tournament. I wouldn't think you'd 50 00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:37.360 say this if you couldn't back it up, but the 51 00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:40.120 event claims to be the biggest girls basketball tournament in 52 00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:45.240 the world, and yesterday, as they were into tournament play, 53 00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:48.479 they had to shut down because there was initially a 54 00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:51.960 report of an active aggressor at the basketball tournament at Fairgrounds, 55 00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:54.960 and then there was another report of an active aggressor 56 00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:58.919 at Kentucky Kingdom that led to chaos in a variety 57 00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:02.319 of ways. And it's great to know that it ended 58 00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:05.360 up being a false alarm and everybody is okay, but 59 00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.719 a lot of people still went through some pretty traumatic experiences, 60 00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:11.639 I would imagine, just because when there's that chaos going 61 00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:13.120 on and nobody seems to know. I mean, you got 62 00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:15.800 to think about the timing here. I mean I got 63 00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:18.840 the news report that that was going on, and then 64 00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:22.199 there was some information available I feel like pretty quickly 65 00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:23.919 as far as what was going on. L and PD 66 00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:26.360 I thought did a great job on their social media platform. 67 00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:28.360 I was following it on X and they were giving 68 00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:31.039 good updates throughout, and each update made it seem a 69 00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:35.800 little bit more clear that the threat was I wouldn't 70 00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:38.360 say not legit, but it just you know, there was 71 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:41.719 no reports of anybody actually being shot, which again sounds 72 00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:43.800 like there wasn't even an active aggressor at all, which 73 00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:45.840 is again that's a good thing, but it did lead 74 00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:48.520 to again a lot of people in a situation that 75 00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:51.199 they probably have never been in before, at least hopefully not, 76 00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:53.599 and who knows how it impacts them. Everybody's different. But 77 00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:57.840 when you are running to find your loved ones because 78 00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:00.719 maybe your kid was out there playing basketball and you're 79 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:02.360 you know, keeping you never if you've never been to 80 00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:04.400 one of the basketball tournaments, because there's many that have 81 00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:07.039 taken place in the in the north wing and the 82 00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:11.159 South wing over there at the Fairgrounds, I mean, you 83 00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:13.639 might know where they are, and then whenever the chaos 84 00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:16.600 happens and everybody's running around, it's easy to get lost. 85 00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:20.199 There were players meeting children interviewed yesterday after the situation 86 00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:22.240 that you know, talked about how scared they were and 87 00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:25.120 that they couldn't find their parents, and again that's understandable 88 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:27.319 given what happens. So again the good news is that 89 00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:31.759 everybody's okay, but just hate that that's that's where we are, 90 00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:35.759 meaning you can never take those things lightly. And I'm 91 00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:40.879 sure now if you are in that situation, I don't know. 92 00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:42.879 I'm not trying to play psychologists here, but I'm just 93 00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:47.519 curious how many people would be in that situation and assume, well, 94 00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:50.879 I'm sure this is nothing, probably just a false alarm, 95 00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:54.800 because I don't mean, I would imagine most people wouldn't 96 00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:56.519 take it lightly because I don't know how surprised you 97 00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:58.959 can be if something like that did happen. That's just again, 98 00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:03.439 that's unfortunate. It's no longer uncommon to see headlines about 99 00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:07.040 these kind of things. So they're going to resume play 100 00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:10.600 today at the Run Run for the Roses tournament, but 101 00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:12.800 there are some teams that decided to back out. Some 102 00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:15.240 coaches who were here in town recruiting the event that 103 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:17.759 said that they're gonna going to walk away as well. 104 00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:21.120 So I wouldn't even I'd be foolish to speculate what 105 00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:22.680 this does for the future of the event and it 106 00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:25.720 being in Louisville, because again, this is an isolated thing, 107 00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:27.839 and at the end of the day, I don't really 108 00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:31.279 know how you'd blame how you blame well, I don't know. 109 00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:34.079 I guess that's for other people to decide. But a 110 00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:36.160 big event that brings so many people here and does 111 00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:39.120 so much for our economy, I hate that For many 112 00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:43.879 people who were here, the lasting memory for them, among 113 00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:46.680 many memories, will probably be that situation, because that's not 114 00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.639 something you forget if you're there and you're scrambling to 115 00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:51.560 try to find your family and you're trying to figure 116 00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:54.519 out what's going on. You know, the reason that that 117 00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:57.600 it's chaos is because there's belief that there's somebody there 118 00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:02.000 to harm people. So unfortunate, but again glad nobody was hurt. 119 00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:03.480 All right. What I want to get to coming up 120 00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:06.360 here after this next update on traffic and weather. A 121 00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:08.439 lot of people got duped. They think you can go 122 00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:11.079 to Vegas at the casino and play Uno. Now you 123 00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:15.680 can but a very good marketing, very good marketing as 124 00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:16.879 far as how they put that out there, we'll talk 125 00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:20.519 about that and screen time. I can't be the only 126 00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:23.120 parent that is worried that my kids have way too 127 00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:25.399 much time in front of a screen. We'll talk about 128 00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:26.720 some of the findings and some of the things you 129 00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:29.560 could potentially do to find a good balance. Stick with 130 00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:31.759 US Radios Kentucky. It's Morning News with Coffee and Company 131 00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:36.040 on News radioaight forty whas if you were somebody that 132 00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:38.720 saw this headline yesterday and you thought that you were 133 00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:40.360 going to be able to go to Vegas and hit 134 00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:43.959 one of the casinos and gamble on the game Uno, 135 00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:47.519 you've been duped. So here are just two examples of 136 00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:51.199 headlines about this story. Uno gets a wild card entry 137 00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:54.959 into Vegas Casino Classic card game Uno lands in Las 138 00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:57.199 Vegas Casinos. I would have thought the same thing. I 139 00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:00.399 did think the same thing, but it just seemed it 140 00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:03.560 seemed to be just so random. And then I noticed 141 00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:06.519 that it was being cited by some bigger outlets, but 142 00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:08.120 they really didn't give a whole lot of infos So 143 00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:11.199 I thought, well, maybe this is maybe it's not fake news, 144 00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:13.720 but maybe there's maybe there's some exaggeration going on, and 145 00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:15.839 that is exactly what is going on, because it's not 146 00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:20.040 being added added as a traditional wagered casino table game. 147 00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:24.720 Mattel has partnered with Palm Casino Resort to launch the 148 00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:30.040 Uno Social Club, which is an experimental venue that will 149 00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:35.439 have Uno branded suites and lounges, custom Uno game tables 150 00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:42.920 with inroom dealers so Uno Room. Essentially, the Euno Social 151 00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:45.439 Club has led to people then thinking you can actually 152 00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:49.040 go and play Uno as if you're playing poker. And 153 00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:54.399 if the promotion just including included people talking about Uno, 154 00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:57.639 I think it worked, but there's so many people understandably 155 00:07:57.720 --> 00:07:59.959 so that like if those two headlines that I just read, 156 00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:02.560 which by the way, are real, I mean I I 157 00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:07.360 totally would have assumed, well that's wild, but hey, Vegas 158 00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:09.360 is getting creative. But then you think about it, that 159 00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:10.680 didn't make a whole lot of sense. It reminded me 160 00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:15.040 of the movie Vegas Vacation, the National Lampot's movie, with which, 161 00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:18.279 of course I think everybody knows the vacation movies, but 162 00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:26.040 there was a scene where Clark and Eddie end up 163 00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:28.639 in like the low rent casino because they've lost all 164 00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:32.000 their money and he's just trying to He's trying to 165 00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:35.320 win his money back with cousin Eddie Clark Griswold is 166 00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:38.840 and Ellen is she she's she's doing her thing with 167 00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:41.720 Wayne Newton and they end up in this casino. That 168 00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:43.720 is a time at the time as a kid, when 169 00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:45.200 I watched this movie, I thought it was real, but 170 00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:48.000 it clearly isn't. But they had games, and again the 171 00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:50.000 movie is trying to pitch it as just this lowest 172 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:52.200 type of casino you could get into. But their games 173 00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.120 were flip a coin you call it in the air, 174 00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:56.919 heads or tails, or you go to a dealer and 175 00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:00.960 you got to pick a number one through ten. Rock 176 00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.679 paper Scissors was one of them. One of them also 177 00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:06.559 was guess which hand a dealer holds something in one 178 00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:09.080 hand and in the movie Clark grissold has to guess 179 00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:11.559 which hand it's in. I mean, again, none of that's real, 180 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:13.720 by the way. Also, go fish was mentioned as well. 181 00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:15.840 You could play go fish, So that's kind of what 182 00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:17.519 I thought of whenever I was thinking, wait a second, 183 00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:19.840 I knew that wasn't real. I later learned that wasn't 184 00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:22.440 really where you could go and play those games, and 185 00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:24.279 I thought maybe this was the you know the same thing, 186 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:27.000 and it is. So you know, you don't book your 187 00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:28.960 trip to Vegas and think you're heading to the casino 188 00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:32.120 to play Uno because you can play Uno, but it's not. 189 00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:33.960 It's not. It's they're just gonna get you in this 190 00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:37.200 social club and it's just gonna be nothing but a mirage. 191 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:41.639 So anyhow, I remember as a kid thinking, Okay, well, yeah, 192 00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:43.399 I don't know how to play Texas hold them or 193 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:46.000 traditional poker, but yeah, when I get old enough, I'm 194 00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:47.679 gonna go to the casino, I'm gonna play go Fish. 195 00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:49.320 I know, want to play that. Give me a little 196 00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:52.000 old maid gambling going on? Yeah, like, and that actually 197 00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:54.200 would be kind of fun. But there should be a 198 00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:57.279 casino for a juvenile card game. But those I bet 199 00:09:57.320 --> 00:09:59.159 those kind of games though, it would be harder for 200 00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:00.720 the house to win, as you know what I mean, 201 00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:03.480 And that is what they're going to be mindful of, understandably. 202 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:05.600 So all right, we've got an update of traffigand weather 203 00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:07.919 coming your way. Also we'll get an update on sports 204 00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:11.080 with Scott Fitzgerald. And also I would like to discuss 205 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:12.799 something I mentioned just a moment ago, as far as 206 00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:16.360 parents and what they think about the amount of time 207 00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:20.120 their kids spend in front of a screen, mostly tablets 208 00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:22.879 and devices, but also television screens as well, because I 209 00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.159 know I'm one of many parents that thinks there's a 210 00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:28.879 benefit from my kid being able to utilize technology to 211 00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:31.080 learn a lot of things. But also you don't want 212 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:33.240 them to become robots. So we'll get to that in 213 00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:34.960 a lot more. Keep it locked right here. It's Kentucky 214 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:37.759 and it's Morning News on news Radio eight forty whas. 215 00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:42.120 Thank you very much, John Shannon. It is Kentucky Ana's 216 00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:44.559 Morning News with Coffee and Company on news Radio eight 217 00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:48.240 forty whas, Nick Coffee, that's me the company man himself, 218 00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:52.000 John Alden alongside today. And one thing that you and 219 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:55.240 I are alike many things we are I think alike 220 00:10:55.279 --> 00:11:00.679 with but we didn't have tablets devices phone in front 221 00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:02.399 of our face when we were growing up. You are 222 00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:05.879 about a decade younger than I am, and as you 223 00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:08.200 got older, it was there, but like you didn't have 224 00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:10.440 like an iPad when you were a little kid, right, 225 00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:12.320 Maybe I don't know, maybe I didn't have an iPad. 226 00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:15.840 I remember having a leap Frog pad. Yeah, much different though, 227 00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:17.639 and those were educational and there wasn't a whole lot 228 00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:19.840 you can do other than whatever the leap Frog program 229 00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:22.240 had on it. Right, You weren't surfing the internet, no, 230 00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:25.960 So I I'm glad that I had that. I grew 231 00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:29.120 up in the era that I did, where technology was 232 00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:30.919 cool and we were able to do cool things. The 233 00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:33.519 Internet really kind of exploded and became a thing during 234 00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:35.600 my childhood, and I remember that. I remember very well. 235 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:38.720 I remember the doing doing sound when you would have 236 00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:40.799 the dial up. Actually, do you remember dialogue? You know 237 00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:43.720 we did have dial use. Yeah, so I was gonna say, 238 00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:45.240 maybe you don't remember that, but yeah, I guess it 239 00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:47.240 probably would have been. Which I feel like the when 240 00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:49.279 you realized what the internet was, and it wasn't on 241 00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:51.799 any device. It was literally a connection through your your 242 00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:55.679 your home phone. I mean I remember not. I mean, 243 00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:58.039 there was such I was so interested to see really 244 00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:00.639 what it was like, you know, I would I remember 245 00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:02.600 as a kid hearing like people describe what it is 246 00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:04.399 and which you can do, and I'm thinking, well how 247 00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:07.759 and then sure enough, now we're all I mean, technology 248 00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:10.279 is a big factor in everything that we do. But anyways, 249 00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:14.159 there's a new study that I guess a survey, I 250 00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:15.679 should say, that's the best way to describe. It's a 251 00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:20.600 survey that says eighty five percent of US parents monitor 252 00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:25.519 screen time for kids under eighteen, and thirty nine percent 253 00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:28.639 want stricter limits, which you know, I get it. As 254 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:31.600 a parent, I'm thinking, well, wait a second, if you 255 00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:33.919 want that, then do it. You're the parent, You're in charge. 256 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:37.720 But I'm sure there's there's the balance of you know, 257 00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:40.720 it does keep them occupied, and there are some things 258 00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:42.840 that clearly you know that they enjoy when it comes 259 00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:45.600 to screen time, or there be a tablet, a video game, 260 00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:47.519 a phone, whatever it may be. And you want to 261 00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:50.240 see your kids enjoying things that they like. And I 262 00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:52.200 think there's a lot of things you can I mean, 263 00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:54.559 you can learn a lot of things. You can teach yourself, 264 00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:57.960 teach yourself stuff as a kid that when we were kids, 265 00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:00.759 we didn't, we didn't have the ability to do. But also, 266 00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:04.000 you know, you don't there's not as much social interaction. 267 00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:07.279 And what I think is is a bigger it's just 268 00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:10.559 speaking for myself as a parent, The bigger concern for 269 00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:14.320 me is just what my kids are exposed to, because 270 00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:17.279 that is going to be something that we learn about 271 00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:19.799 over the years, because there's going to be people that 272 00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:23.159 grow up and become adults and they'll be the first 273 00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:26.600 test for us. As far as them having access to 274 00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:30.919 so many things via the Internet and via the tablet 275 00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:33.399 that they have at their home, I mean, well maybe 276 00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:36.960 their cell phone. So you can obviously learn a lot, 277 00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:39.039 you can educate yourself, you can teach yourself how to 278 00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:42.559 do certain things with this technology, but also it can 279 00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:44.639 expose you to things that could have an impact on 280 00:13:44.679 --> 00:13:47.639 you that is not good. I mean, that's one thing 281 00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:49.879 that I don't think. I don't think can be said 282 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:52.440 enough because a lot of parents, and I guess there 283 00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:55.200 are parents that are younger than even you know myself 284 00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:57.840 and even John that maybe when they were growing up 285 00:13:57.879 --> 00:14:00.799 they had they had much more of a they've they've 286 00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:03.519 they had these tablets and these devices in front of 287 00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:07.240 him at all times. But if you're like me, like 288 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:09.480 I don't, I don't. I wasn't exposed to a lot 289 00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:11.399 of things because we just didn't have that. It wasn't 290 00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:12.960 a thing at the time, so I didn't know what 291 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:15.399 I didn't know that makes sense. Well, now, I mean 292 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:18.080 every now and then my son will end up off 293 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:21.480 of the YouTube Kids tablet or the YouTube Kids app 294 00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:24.559 on his iPad and end up on YouTube, and a 295 00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:26.720 lot of times, more often than not, he's watching something 296 00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:29.000 that you know, he's watching kids play video games where 297 00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:32.240 he's watching no joke, like old horse races. He's he's odd. 298 00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:35.519 He loves horse racing and it's it's it's it's an 299 00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:38.080 obsession for him. But then sometimes he'll end up on 300 00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:40.039 something not knowing what it is, and I guess he's interested, 301 00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:42.840 and then he'll start crying and it'll be because you know, 302 00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:46.360 something scary happened, and that's that's I mean, if he's 303 00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:48.159 scared that, I don't want that to happen. But you know, 304 00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:50.879 it just reminds me. Light bulb goes off, like wow, 305 00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:53.399 I mean, I guess, really, if I'm not monitoring it, 306 00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:55.080 he could be exposed to a lot of things. So 307 00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:58.039 excuse me. We're much more mindful of it now than 308 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:01.320 especially that he's getting a little bit older. But I 309 00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:03.080 just you know, who am I to give parenting advice? 310 00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:05.519 But when it comes to just kind of you know, 311 00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:08.320 keeping them preoccupied, keeping them busy, they're not you know, 312 00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:10.360 if you've got siblings, they're not fighting with each other 313 00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:13.840 because they're each in their own world on their iPads. Yeah, 314 00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:16.000 that can be beneficial. And then whenever they don't have 315 00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:17.840 devices and they don't know how to act and they're 316 00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:20.639 whiny and fussy. My kids do that all the time. 317 00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:22.919 I mean, I get it. Sometimes you do it just 318 00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:24.639 to say, okay, right, let's just calm down here, here 319 00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:27.799 you go. So finding the balance as far as being 320 00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:31.360 able to take advantage of the ability to learn and 321 00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:34.440 utilize technology like we didn't have when we were younger, 322 00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:38.120 but also knowing that it may not be for good, right, Like, 323 00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:40.320 there's clearly a lot that you can be exposed to 324 00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:43.919 on the World Wide Web. And this is something that 325 00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:47.000 doesn't really surprise me, but it is. It is certainly 326 00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:52.240 troubling information that this survey says that parents claim that 327 00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:57.360 their family conflicts forty three percent. Yeah, it says that 328 00:15:57.679 --> 00:16:00.480 parent survey. Yeah, it says the eight percent of parents 329 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:04.759 were concerned, with forty three percent reporting that family CONTUCTI 330 00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:08.919 family conflict, I should say, tied to the excessive screen use, which, again, 331 00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:10.919 you know, if you don't want to hear your parents 332 00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:12.720 arguing or whatever it may be, put your headphones in, 333 00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:14.679 watch your tablet, and get lost in your own world. 334 00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:19.080 So I just don't know. As a parent myself, I'm 335 00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:21.120 now more than ever just trying to be mindful of 336 00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:23.279 things that like my kid could see, that like I 337 00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:25.080 would never see because there was no way for me 338 00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:27.639 to see it. All right, let's get to a quick update. 339 00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:30.600 We'll get you caught up on weather traffic. That of 340 00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:34.960 course is next. And then also yesterday, Andy Basher did 341 00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:37.360 an interview with Meet the Press and was asked about 342 00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:40.120 a potential run for president. We'll let you know what 343 00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:41.679 he had to say right here on. He's ready to 344 00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:45.960 wait forty whas So, the suspect that was shot and 345 00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:49.960 killed by police in Lexton yesterday after killing two individuals 346 00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:53.759 at a church has been identified. Lexning Police Department said 347 00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:57.919 forty seven year old Guy House died from wounds after 348 00:16:58.159 --> 00:17:00.519 three officers shot him. Of course, this was after he 349 00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:04.440 shot an officer after a traffic stop at the near 350 00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:08.200 the Bluegrass Airport and then ended up carjacking someone, only 351 00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:10.759 to then make his way to that church and killed 352 00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:14.319 two innocent people. So we politicize everything. This day and age. 353 00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:16.519 So I'm not surprised that right now, if you just 354 00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:19.839 look up the name Guy House, search the name Guy 355 00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:22.039 House on any social media platform. I'm doing it on 356 00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:25.680 x formerly known as Twitter, and no joke. The first 357 00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:30.119 two posts that I see. One is somebody claiming that 358 00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:36.960 he is a free Palestine Muslim, and then they show 359 00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:40.160 pictures of him. I guess what he's wearing. I assume 360 00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:43.000 they're sharing this as evidence that hey, see he's on 361 00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:45.519 the left, he's a Democrat. And then you also have 362 00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:47.920 another picture and I don't know, I don't know what's real, 363 00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:51.319 but there's another picture of him wearing what appears to 364 00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:56.240 be a Confederate flag hoodie, and it's somebody claiming that's 365 00:17:56.599 --> 00:18:00.720 that's he's maga. And again I don't know what to believe, 366 00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:03.240 because I don't. I still don't really when these things happen. 367 00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:06.400 I don't. I'm not wired, and hopefully I never am. 368 00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:08.400 To just just think, Okay, who can we blame this 369 00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:11.359 on the other can we blame this on the other side, 370 00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:13.839 the other side of the aisle. And none of that 371 00:18:13.880 --> 00:18:16.000 surprises me at all, because that's just where we are 372 00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:21.880 right now. But regardless of what political side he's on 373 00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:24.599 who he voted for. What I think is just really 374 00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:28.079 unfortunate to know is that while doing this and committing 375 00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:30.599 these crimes yesterday that of course took the lives of 376 00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:33.079 two people, an officer injured, and of course he's dead now. 377 00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:37.920 He did this while while being on felony probation. So 378 00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:42.000 this guy, his name is Guy House, and he was 379 00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:45.759 on felony probation when he when this occurred yesterday. So 380 00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:49.119 twenty twenty three arrest for being in possession of a 381 00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:53.359 firearm while being a felon, and he's violated probation numerous times, 382 00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:55.839 including just a few months ago. It looks like so 383 00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:59.799 again I'm when I this is something I'll admit hand, 384 00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:04.039 I was ignorant to how many people are out roaming 385 00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:07.119 the streets that have done a pretty good job. They've 386 00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:10.519 been pretty consistent at showing they break the law. They're dangerous, 387 00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:13.839 they're violent people. And I know that there's a lot 388 00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:16.880 of criticism thrown towards judges who make these decisions, and 389 00:19:16.920 --> 00:19:21.200 I understand that totally, but also, you know, I don't 390 00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:23.799 think it's as easy as well, Okay, nobody should ever 391 00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:26.000 get a second chance and get out there, but also 392 00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:30.079 like if you repeatedly are proving to everyone who you 393 00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:32.559 are and that you are in fact a threat somebody 394 00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:35.599 that is dangerous, there's got to be something done to 395 00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:39.319 believe these people when they tell us who they are. 396 00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:42.400 Is that a good way to describe it? So anyways, 397 00:19:42.440 --> 00:19:45.039 the victim in this, well, he's not a victim. He's 398 00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:48.160 I mean, I guess he was, but technically he probably 399 00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:52.519 when committing the awful acts that he did yesterday, I'm 400 00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:53.960 not sure what the hell was going on in his 401 00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:55.920
