I could be wrong here, 10 00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:27.039 but it feels like record setting. 11 00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:28.480 Yeah, it's gross. 12 00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:30.640 I dude, I do three laps and shall be parking 13 00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:32.880 in the morning, three in the afternoon. My three laps 14 00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:35.560 yesterday morning. By the time I got near the end 15 00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:37.799 of the second lap, I was already dripping in sweat. 16 00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:40.280 Yeah, and I'm not surprised, crazy dude. 17 00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:42.799 Be prepared today if you've not left, I mean, if 18 00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:44.399 you've if you're getting ready to head out of the 19 00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:46.640 house to get your day started, you will you will 20 00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:49.240 be hit with that thick humidity as soon as you 21 00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:52.240 walk outside, So just be prepared. Having the air condition 22 00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:55.600 you're on in my car in the morning feels rare, 23 00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:57.719 but it's on from some I mean, it's like it's 24 00:00:57.799 --> 00:00:59.479 just it's that it's that sticky. 25 00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:02.119 Outside system holding up at home? Good? How about you? 26 00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:03.679 Good? Yeah, I'm there, dude. 27 00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:06.159 It's nice because it's just my wife and I now, 28 00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:07.319 so it's nice. 29 00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:09.000 And it's been shutting on and off. 30 00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:11.280 And I talked to an acy guy I know, uh, 31 00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:12.879 and he told me, he say, as long as your 32 00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:14.760 unit keeps shutting off shutting on, you're good. 33 00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:17.599 John. Do you You are? Probably? 34 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:21.439 I think you You probably bought a house more recent 35 00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:24.560 than than than myself and Scott did. Did the the 36 00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:28.079 AC unit? Was it relatively new? Was it the original one? 37 00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:30.200 It was the original one, and we ended up having 38 00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:32.719 to buy a brand new one couple years ago. 39 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:35.519 Gotcha because I perked up a little bit when Scott 40 00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:38.439 asked me because I've been paying attention just because I 41 00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:40.560 don't have any reason to think mine would go out. 42 00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:43.359 I think it's just realizing, man, my life would I'd 43 00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:46.439 be I'd be I'd be struggling. It's a stress, yeah, 44 00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:48.760 I mean it's not only do you have the you know, 45 00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:50.879 you no longer have the ability to be comfortable in 46 00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:53.159 your home, but you also worry about what it would 47 00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:55.599 coust it could be something as minor as it froze 48 00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:58.599 up because you didn't change your filter or you got 49 00:01:58.599 --> 00:02:01.480 to replace it all together, and those are drastically different things. 50 00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:04.400 So yeah, and this is the kind of heat summer 51 00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:07.439 was right on time because the first weekend of summer 52 00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:09.520 was brutal, and really since then it's been that way 53 00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:12.439 in different ways. Right, Sometimes it's just been like over 54 00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:14.400 the weekend, I think humidity was low, but it was 55 00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:17.039 just hot. Now it's a little bit of both, but 56 00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:22.280 I mean summer is it's brutal, and if you don't 57 00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:24.960 have AC it's I can't imagine. 58 00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:26.840 So there's no worse feeling than waking up in the 59 00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:28.960 morning too. And you see that, you feel it the 60 00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:30.800 minute you wake up, and then you see the therm 61 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.840 mom room when you go downstairs. It just didn't cool down. 62 00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:34.879 You're like, oh, here we go. 63 00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:37.000 And what I had to learn is say, this is 64 00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:38.520 long ago. I used to just think, well, if I've 65 00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:40.960 got my system set on seventy but it's not getting 66 00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:44.800 below seventy two, that doesn't mean something's broken. It just 67 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:47.599 means that it's that hot outside and your unit is 68 00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:49.599 working as best it can. That was our first house 69 00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:51.599 I just assume, well, I got to call somebody, and 70 00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:53.800 it wasn't because I was dying with it not being 71 00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:56.680 colder than seventy two. It was more so just worried, Okay, 72 00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:58.280 I got to have a plan in place if this 73 00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:00.400 thing completely goes out. And then I realized, yeah, sometimes 74 00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:02.960 it's just so hot that like seventy two, seventy three 75 00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:04.000 is the best you're going to get. 76 00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:06.240 I did the same thing, and then I was thinking, 77 00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:08.719 because are upstairs that we have high higher ceiling in 78 00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:12.520 our upstairs, so upstairs forms up even more and it 79 00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:15.039 takes harder to cool it down. But now I've noticed 80 00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:16.719 that with just my wife and I in the house, 81 00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:20.840 things stay a little bit more reasonable, given the kids 82 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:22.479 aren't going in and out. You know, when the kids 83 00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:24.199 were younger that you know, I was my old man 84 00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:25.759 shot the damn norm. 85 00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:28.120 You know, so you had a munthle of that stuff 86 00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:28.879 you do. 87 00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:30.199 And so you had that. So it's nice. 88 00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:33.800 So hopefully everybody listening your ac stays nine. If it doesn't, 89 00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:37.240 I hope you have a good HVAC person. 90 00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:40.240 Yep, because though they certainly are are busy when you've 91 00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:43.039 got the summer months going on and it's just disgusting 92 00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:45.400 outside like it has all. So we've got a lot 93 00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:47.639 to get into today here on a Tuesday. Obviously, I 94 00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:51.280 will continue to keep you updated on the floods in Texas. 95 00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:55.319 Now over one hundred deaths and there's still many that 96 00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:58.039 are missing. Just a tragic situation there. We'll talk to 97 00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:00.879 Rory and Neil coming up at eight five forty five 98 00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:04.439 and get the latest on that. Also, one thing I've 99 00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:06.520 yet to learn about both of you guys. I think 100 00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:08.080 I know a little bit about John when it comes 101 00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:10.439 to conspiracy theories. But Scott, are you a conspiracy theory 102 00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:12.560 kind of guy? Not really, I was gonna guess that 103 00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:16.279 you're not, and I I'm not. Yeah, And I think 104 00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:20.160 at times i'm more maybe maybe I am naive. But 105 00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:24.480 I'm fascinated by them just because I just the amount 106 00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:26.959 of people who really get lost in a conspiracy theory 107 00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:29.279 and let it consume them, and then they look at 108 00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:31.160 everybody else as if they're a bunch of sheep, just 109 00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:33.360 believing what everybody wants you to believe, when clearly there 110 00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:36.839 was a conspiracy going on. I find those people, I guess, unrelatable. 111 00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:39.639 But the Epstein thing, I mean. 112 00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:43.639 That is I that it'll make you think. Absolutely, it'll 113 00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:44.160 make you think. 114 00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:46.879 So we'll certainly talk about that, and then the latest 115 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:49.720 on the Crystal Rogers trial will give you the latest 116 00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:52.720 again as yesterday was a big day and now we're 117 00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:54.560 getting down to it as far as this jury going 118 00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:57.040 to needing to make a decision on what they're gonna do. 119 00:04:57.160 --> 00:04:59.439 So a loaded Tuesday is coming your way, and I 120 00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:01.279 hope you stick with us. We've got an update on 121 00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:03.800 traffic from Bobby Elli's coming your way.

So this story, 132 00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:33.040 it's one that fascinates me and I think we all 133 00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:38.079 can agree that when someone is I guess get when 134 00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:40.439 someone gets served what it is that a lot of 135 00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:43.079 us think they deserve. It's a good feeling, right, somebody 136 00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.199 having to pay the price for doing something wrong, And 137 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:51.000 I feel wrong as far as how satisfied, I am 138 00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:53.639 to see what's playing out here with Misty Noel, who 139 00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:56.399 is the She is the estrange wife of former Clark 140 00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:59.120 County Sheriff Jamie Noel, who really this has been in 141 00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:02.079 the news for years now now is the corruption, the 142 00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:06.199 whole scandal where they used millions of taxpayer funds, meaning 143 00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:10.240 Jamie Noel and his family with his wife. She ended 144 00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:15.279 up getting recently sentenced for her involvement, and she was 145 00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.240 implicated and again she used a lot of money on 146 00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:21.879 personal funds. That money was taxpayer funds and this all 147 00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:25.000 took place from twenty fifteen to twenty twenty two. So 148 00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:29.279 he served let's see, he got twelve years in prison. 149 00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:31.920 He's currently in prison right now. But he pleaded guilty 150 00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:36.160 to twenty seven felonies and again she was charged and 151 00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:38.920 that process played out last week as far as a 152 00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:44.360 plea deal, And to me, this just screams I want 153 00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:46.480 to say arrogance, but I also don't feel like that's 154 00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:50.399 the right word. To use here because I believe this 155 00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:54.720 is backfiring in a way that proves this individual just 156 00:06:55.879 --> 00:07:02.480 there's no remorse, there's still wanting to have it your way, 157 00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:07.079 get the last word. Because she pleaded last week guilty 158 00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:10.720 to five counts of theft and five counts of tax 159 00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:14.920 evasion for using the New Chapel EMS funds for personal purchases. 160 00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:18.439 So her plea deal was accepted last week on July third, 161 00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:21.360 and she was sentenced to eighteen months in prison or 162 00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:25.519 ordered restitution for over six hundred and sixty thousand dollars 163 00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:28.920 to the New Chapel EMS and also roughly thirty thousand 164 00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:32.600 dollars to the Indiana Department of Revenue. So after this sentencing, 165 00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:36.519 she wanted to be on TV. She did an exclusive interview. 166 00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:38.040 I think she don't know. Let me back up. I 167 00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:40.639 don't know if her interviews or exclusive. Maybe she's done 168 00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:43.920 interviews elsewhere, but it was a WLKY interview. Our partner's 169 00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:46.519 over at LKY the day that she was sentenced, did 170 00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:50.800 an interview with her where instead of using that camera 171 00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:55.000 time to truly express remorse and truly apologize for again 172 00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:59.959 misusing millions of taxpayer funds for personal expenses. 173 00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:01.920 Is she wanted. 174 00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:04.600 To get the last word and do the whole Well, 175 00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:07.480 I had no clue. But if I'm you know, if 176 00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:09.199 I'm guilty of anything, I guess it's that. And I 177 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:12.199 don't have her exact quote here, but anyways, in her interview, 178 00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:15.680 she claimed that her husband, who of course they're now stranged, 179 00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:19.519 misled her into believing the nonprofit was his private business, 180 00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:25.680 not taxpayer funded. So this is somebody saying, you know, yeah, 181 00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:27.759 I pleaded guilty today, but I want to go on 182 00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:30.480 camera and still try to the arrogance of thinking people 183 00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:32.879 will believe you that you had no clue that millions 184 00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:33.440 of dollars. 185 00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:35.000 Where would you. 186 00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:37.480 Think that money was coming from? I mean, like nobody 187 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:41.080 believes that that she unknowingly was involved in this. Now 188 00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:44.399 maybe she mean clearly she didn't have the same impact 189 00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:46.360 in this as her husband, because he's going to prison 190 00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:48.919 for twelve years and was and he played guilty to 191 00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:51.200 twenty seven felony. She's not facing those kind of charges. 192 00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:53.759 But the arrogance of wanting to be on TV and 193 00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:56.200 still tell people that you didn't know you did anything wrong, 194 00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:01.200 it is backfired because now the judge Larryry Medlock who 195 00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:03.799 again was a part of her prot and when she 196 00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:08.919 he accepted her plea last week, well yesterday, he ruled 197 00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:10.960 that her statements that she did in that interview with 198 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:15.879 Wlky suggests that she did not knowingly and intentionally commit theft, 199 00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:19.080 undermining her guilty plea, Like, you can't do that. I've 200 00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:22.200 never had to plead guilty to a crime, but you 201 00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:25.879 have to in court. You have to Legitimately, you can't 202 00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:28.360 just plead guilty unless you guys do an outford plea 203 00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:30.720 where you don't admit admit guilt, but you admit there's 204 00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:34.159 enough evidence to convict you. So this, this you know, 205 00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:36.360 this TV interview does still want to I mean, it's 206 00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:38.679 just delusion as well, thinking that anybody will okay, you 207 00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:40.679 didn't know makes total sense now, I mean again, people 208 00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:42.480 can believe what they want to believe. But nonetheless, he 209 00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:45.440 has now stated that a guilty plea, you know, it 210 00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:50.240 can't it can't stand. So from here on out, I mean, 211 00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:52.919 she's gonna have another hearing date and probably you know, 212 00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:55.960 it sounds like she could possibly end up going to trial, 213 00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:59.000 which means that if this get I mean, she could 214 00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:01.240 have this interview could have got it to where she 215 00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:03.320 probably did eighteen months and maybe not even that long. 216 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:04.879 Maybe she gets shocked probation, I don't know. 217 00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:06.799 I doubt it. I doubt she would have got shocked. 218 00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:09.960 But nonetheless, this is you just still wanting like you're 219 00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.200 never remorseful. You still want people to believe that you 220 00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:15.559 didn't have a clue that you were using money that 221 00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:19.200 you weren't supposed to be using. And how about the 222 00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:22.399 judge just happened to see this on television or the 223 00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:25.720 internet wherever it was, and see, oh, well, she's now 224 00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:29.159 claiming that she entered a plea that she's since claimed 225 00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:34.000 on television that she does she's not guilty. So anyways, 226 00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:36.519 that whole that, I'm not sure if it will because 227 00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:38.360 there's a lot of true crime stuff that will end up, 228 00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:41.480 you know, that competes with this. But I wouldn't be 229 00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:44.399 shocked if the whole Jamie Noel situation ends up being 230 00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:48.720 some crime documentary, because there's a lot to it. All Right, 231 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:50.879 we've got an update of traffic and weather coming your way. 232 00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:53.639 Bobby Ellis with the traffic update. Matt Melosavitch will give 233 00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:55.519 us the forecast, and of course we've got sports coming 234 00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:56.960 your way here in four minutes right here on news 235 00:10:57.039 --> 00:10:58.200 radio eight forty whas. 236 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:01.559 Thank you very much, John Shannon. 237 00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:03.639 It is five thirty five here Kentucky and it's Morning 238 00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:05.080 News with Nick Coffee on news. 239 00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:07.120 Radio eight forty whas. 240 00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:12.799 So yesterday was closing arguments in the second Crystal Rogers case. 241 00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:17.240 As the defense, they are sticking with what you would 242 00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:19.759 expect them to stick with, and that is that this 243 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:24.519 is a no body homicide, no physical evidence, it's just 244 00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:30.080 witness testimony. But even that I'm sure they're arguing is 245 00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:34.159 is not That's what any good defense representation would do. 246 00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:42.360 But the prosecution, they're they're leaning heavily on just inconsistent 247 00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:47.159 statements from Brooks howk like the time he omitted his 248 00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:49.720 visit to the family farm the night Crystal Rogers vanished. 249 00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:55.960 Just a lot of inconsistencies. And look the testimony, although 250 00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:59.279 it's not proof, I just maybe this is because this trial, 251 00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:02.480 specifically for me, is somebody that is just reading all 252 00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:04.759 the coverage of it, right, there's no I mean, we're 253 00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:07.799 literally just getting what those that are permitted to attend 254 00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:11.919 this trial and Bowling Green are writing down, taking notes 255 00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:13.840 and then sharing as soon as you know they have 256 00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:16.200 a break in the in the in the trial, or 257 00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:18.039 it wraps up for the day. So and by the way, 258 00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:20.279 thank you to all those who were there, because without 259 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:22.639 their coverage we wouldn't we wouldn't know what's going on. 260 00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:27.879 But I just think the amount of circumstantial evidence, despite 261 00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:31.000 it not being any real proof, I just to me, 262 00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:33.879 it seems as if this jury would would be would 263 00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:35.440 be able to see that, yes, they did a good 264 00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:38.679 job of cleaning some things up, but they seem to 265 00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:41.519 be guilty in some form or fashion. But I've never 266 00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:44.000 been on a jury, and I don't know if you know, 267 00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:45.759 I don't think you could put yourself in the shoes 268 00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:49.919 of someone on the jury unless you've been in that 269 00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:52.080 situation before. But even if you have, I mean again, 270 00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:55.480 you're not We're not there, right, You're not hearing every 271 00:12:55.960 --> 00:13:00.279 second of this entire trial. So uh, well, we'll find 272 00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:03.080 out here soon if this jury's ready to make a decision. 273 00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:04.480 But it looks yea. 274 00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:07.399 It says here that after the two weeks of trial, 275 00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:10.440 the jury of fifteen, which will soon be twelve after 276 00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:12.840 alternates were dismissed here recently, it's going to begin today. 277 00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:16.120 So again, nobody no crime scene in this case hinges 278 00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:21.080 on circumstantial evidence, And to me, it's just as an outside, 279 00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:24.320 an outsider just taking what is being shared each and 280 00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:27.240 every day, as far as the defense and what they're saying, 281 00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:30.399 the prosecution, what they're saying, what we're hearing from these witnesses, 282 00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:33.840 I have really no clue what to expect. But if 283 00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:35.320 you put me on the spot, I would say, I 284 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:37.159 just assumed that these two are going to be found guilty, 285 00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:38.919 but could be totally wrong here. 286 00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:39.559 I'm just guessing. 287 00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:44.840 So I really, I guess nothing would ultimately shock me, 288 00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:49.080 because again, I think it's one thing too. This is 289 00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:52.039 something that you've heard before, but it's really I mean, 290 00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:55.679 I don't think it can be overstated. Context matters, right, 291 00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:58.679 How you say something matters a lot more than just 292 00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:01.600 what is set, and I feel like lawyers are great 293 00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:04.279 examples of that. So who knows, We're just again we're 294 00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:07.600 we're we're only hearing from from what those are sharing 295 00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:09.159 with us, and they're doing a good job of giving 296 00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:12.080 us specific details and quotes as far as what is 297 00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:15.840 said by the defense attorney here, But who knows, maybe 298 00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:18.200 he's saying in a way that has this jury just 299 00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:21.080 completely thinking, Well, you know what, I don't know if 300 00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:22.799 that's enough for me to say that, yes, I think 301 00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:24.840 that these two are guilty of what they're being charged with. 302 00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:28.480 So I uh, I'm I'm anxious to see how this 303 00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:32.000 plays out. But obviously, uh, the victim's family here, which 304 00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:34.919 again the victim has never been recovered, never been I know, 305 00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:37.679 there's no there's no body. But I'm sure they're hoping. 306 00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:39.279 I mean, in fact, we know they're hoping for a 307 00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:42.159 guilty verdict, and only time will tell if that's that's 308 00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:45.399 what ends up happening. All right, So TikTok is apparently 309 00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:50.960 creating a version of itself, but it'll only be available 310 00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:53.399 in America because of the current issue right now with 311 00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:56.639 it not you know that it's been extended, been kicked 312 00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:00.639 down the line many times by Trump, but but him 313 00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:03.000 being so confident about a buyer, maybe I guess that 314 00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:05.759 fell through, because again TikTok is now developing a new 315 00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:09.000 version of its platform that'll only be for US customers. 316 00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:12.840 By Dance is the Chinese parent company that for a 317 00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:14.879 while now it's been known that they've got to they 318 00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:18.240 got to find a way to divest its used operations 319 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:20.360 to non Chinese owners in order to comply with the 320 00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:23.720 new federal law by this upcoming September, or they'll be 321 00:15:23.799 --> 00:15:24.840 banned now again. 322 00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:25.399 If it doesn't. 323 00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:27.879 If it doesn't happen by September, I still feel like 324 00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:33.240 we'll see President Trump just delay once again. But didn't 325 00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:34.639 he just tell us a couple of weeks ago that 326 00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:36.919 he was very confident in a buyer that he had 327 00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:40.840 and that you know, but what I kept thinking of, Okay, yeah, 328 00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:44.000 that sounds great, But in order to make a transaction, 329 00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:46.879 you need a buyer and you need a seller. And 330 00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:50.519 there's never, at any point been any indication that TikTok 331 00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:51.639 Bye Dance. 332 00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:53.919 I guess is who we're talking about. They own TikTok. 333 00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:55.320 Why would they want to sell? 334 00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:59.279 This is a social media platform that is dominating in 335 00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:02.279 that space, and there seems to be no sign of 336 00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:05.360 that momentum stopping. So I think maybe that's just a 337 00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:07.279 rich person thing. Well they just assume, well, if I've 338 00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:10.080 got somebody with unlimited amount of money, then you'll sell. 339 00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:12.039 Well I don't think they will. It doesn't sound like 340 00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:14.919 they're they're gonna do that. All right, We've got Rory 341 00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:17.679 O'Neil coming up in about five minutes time and we'll 342 00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:20.360 get the latest on the tragic situation with the floods 343 00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:20.759 in Texas. 344 00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:21.159 Stick with us. 345 00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:22.919 It's Kentucky and it's Morning News on News Radio eight 346 00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:24.200 forty Whas. 347 00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:27.720 It is five forty five here Kentucky and. 348 00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:30.679 It's morning News on news radio eight forty whas Nick 349 00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:32.279 Coffee with you, and I've got Rory on eil of 350 00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:34.919 NBC News with me. Rory, what can you tell us 351 00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:37.879 about the latest in regards to the tragic situation with 352 00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:40.799 the Texas floods. Sounds like there's many more deaths that 353 00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:43.279 have been reported since we discussed yesterday, and still some 354 00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:44.919 that they can't find. 355 00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:48.720 Yeah, sadly, the death toll has topped one hundred. One 356 00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:53.159 hundred and four now confirm fatalities across six counties. Most 357 00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:56.639 of the deaths are in Kerr County, Texas, eighty four 358 00:16:56.679 --> 00:16:59.759 of them there. That's where Camp Mystic was located, and 359 00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:03.080 that's where many of the missing are still associated with 360 00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:06.400 that camp. I think ten of children from that camp 361 00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:10.000 are still listed among the more than two dozen still 362 00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:13.160 considered missing. On the positive side, it looks like the 363 00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:16.400 weather is about to get better, you know, another rainy 364 00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:19.839 day yesterday, some scattered howers today, but after this we 365 00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:23.119 should start to see a lot more sunshine, drier conditions. 366 00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:27.039 Hopefully that swollen Guadalupe River will start to receive quickly. 367 00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:31.839 So is there any indication that they could have been 368 00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:37.279 notified the severity of this flood in a quicker manner? 369 00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:40.240 I mean, I know, it's unfortunately just where we are 370 00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:42.440 right now, where people want to weaponize this as you know, 371 00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:45.079 who could have done more Republican Democrat that kind of stuff. 372 00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:47.680 But just I don't know, if I mean to me, 373 00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:49.200 this is just an act of God and it's a 374 00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:51.400 tragic situation all the way around. But do we know 375 00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:54.880 as far as resources in that community, are they without 376 00:17:54.960 --> 00:17:56.599 some resources that maybe others have? 377 00:17:57.720 --> 00:18:01.720 Well, some other communities in Texas I have installed sirens 378 00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:04.240 to go along the river to alert in these kinds 379 00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:07.119 of situations. And we should note this is known as 380 00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:10.359 flash flood Alley. This is an area that has flash 381 00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:13.759 flooding frequently. Now not to the scale, of course, but 382 00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:18.279 this is a persistent problem. And you know nineteen eighty seven, 383 00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:22.240 July seventeenth, a similar flood in a similar area killed 384 00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:25.799 ten children from a camp. So this is not unheard of, 385 00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:29.359 and we've seen again deadly flooding I think every at 386 00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:32.559 least once a decade. So I think there are more 387 00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:35.079 questions being asked now. Obviously the scale of this is 388 00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:38.200 very different. But then saying, you know, do you rebuild camps? 389 00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:44.119 I notifications systems should we have and then taking a 390 00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:46.039 look at whether or not we pay attention to a 391 00:18:46.039 --> 00:18:48.839 lot of these alerts that we get to our phones 392 00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:50.240 that many people just ignore. 393 00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:52.759 Rory and Nail of NBC News our guest joining us 394 00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:56.039 here on news radio eight forty whas So the Prime 395 00:18:56.119 --> 00:18:59.440 days are here, Amazon Prime that is, and bargains.
