We've got Scott Fitzgerald alongside John Alden 8 00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:21.160 as well as John Shannon, who'll give you your first 9 00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:24.320 news update coming up in about thirty minutes. Fellas, how 10 00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:28.559 we feeling good? Beautiful Tuesday, and I'm already off to 11 00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:30.199 a rough start. I had their own microphone on. 12 00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:31.800 You're fine due all the time. 13 00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:33.159 I just wanted to get the first goof out of 14 00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:35.920 the way. Now we're goof free the rest of the show. 15 00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:36.920 Dude is guarantee it. 16 00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:37.960 It is going to get warm. 17 00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:38.200 Bro. 18 00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:41.439 Yeah, summertime, I thought this was going to be the 19 00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:45.600 first morning where I might have have scooped Bobby Ellis 20 00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:47.960 are phenomenal traffic anchor. 21 00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:49.719 But he's on it. He's on it. 22 00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:52.560 I thought maybe it was something that happened recently and 23 00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:54.920 he wouldn't know, but he knew that the light that 24 00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:58.000 is out at first in Muhammad is something that he 25 00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:00.600 should be sharing. So thank you to On Shannon for 26 00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:03.640 mentioning that. So anyways, the first thing I noticed when 27 00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:05.840 I get off of the Brooks exit, and it was. 28 00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:06.840 One of the good mornings for me. 29 00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:09.079 Well, I did stop because when when there's no when 30 00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:11.280 the light is not working at all, you treat it 31 00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:12.159 as a stop sign. 32 00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:12.799 Right, that's right? 33 00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:15.680 Okay, So I think what happened was because I could 34 00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:17.480 just stop and see that there was no other no 35 00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:18.760 other cars, there was nobody. 36 00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:20.239 It was, you know, four o'clock in the morning. 37 00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:23.719 I then caught every green light, which has got to 38 00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:25.439 be a good sign for the day that we're about 39 00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:28.040 to have here. But when I was at that stop 40 00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:30.799 light that wasn't working, essentially a stop sign. Did you 41 00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:32.400 guys happen to notice if you come in on brook 42 00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:35.280 Street the trash cans that were completely like dumped over? 43 00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:37.439 Did you notice that? John? Were you? Were you? 44 00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:37.799 Still? 45 00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:41.079 I didn't get off right, you know, Saint Catherine's. I 46 00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:43.000 don't know if this was due to the same thing. 47 00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:45.599 There was a bunch of paper all in one area, 48 00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:48.079 so I'm assuming that was some trash dumped over. 49 00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:51.760 What surprised me is that the the trash cans that 50 00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:53.879 that I'm that I saw dumped over stood out because 51 00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.400 it wasn't just your trash bin, it was the black 52 00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:00.319 I thought it was kind of bolted somehow to the 53 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:03.200 to the concrete, because I don't these things, to my 54 00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:06.480 knowledge of they don't just fall over, but somebody, somebody 55 00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:09.240 was able to lift them up off the ground somehow. 56 00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:10.120 So be aware of that. 57 00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:13.560 But it's just it's wild how in the morning, especially 58 00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:16.080 when we're when we're getting here. Sometimes in the last 59 00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:19.120 what seven eight days that I've been in this in 60 00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:22.080 this position, in this role, getting up a lot earlier 61 00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:23.879 than I'm usually used to getting up at. 62 00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:26.840 I've noticed that. It's just it's kind of peaceful being 63 00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:29.400 downtown when there's nothing. I mean, it's cool. 64 00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:32.639 Yeah, it's it's interesting because you know, most people are 65 00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:34.919 still asleep, but we're not. We're here ready to rock 66 00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:37.759 and roll, and hopefully you guys are ready to do 67 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:39.680 are ready to do the same. So we will have 68 00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:41.759 your first update of traffic and weather once again coming 69 00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:44.000 up in a couple of minutes. We'll have sports at 70 00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:46.960 around five twenty five. We'll talk at five forty five 71 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:49.759 with Rory O'Neill and continue to get the latest on 72 00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:55.360 the protests going on in California. As now, approximately seven 73 00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:59.759 hundred US Marines from Camp Pendleton are being deployed to 74 00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:05.080 LA to assist. Last week it was Trump versus Elon Musk. 75 00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:09.240 This week it is Trump versus Gavin Newsom. As Trump 76 00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:12.759 has threatened to arrest the governor of California. So, oh jeez, 77 00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:15.280 that that's one of those things you just say it 78 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:19.439 out loud, You're like, well, come on, you're embellishing, you're. 79 00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:21.560 Exaggerating for entertainment purposes. 80 00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:24.360 No, quite literally, he said he's threatened to arrest the 81 00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:27.280 governor of California. So that's where we are. As far 82 00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:31.120 as protests happening elsewhere. You said this yesterday, Scott, that 83 00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:33.680 you'll you'll probably see him pop up in other areas. 84 00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:37.639 Already happened in Louisville yesterday. Peaceful protests, of course, at 85 00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:39.759 least that's that's what it seems. But we'll get into 86 00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:42.639 that a little bit. And on the sports side, something 87 00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:44.960 that I want to hit on in just a few 88 00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:48.960 minutes that you rarely ever see is a coach leaving 89 00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:53.240 a position at the University of Kentucky to then take 90 00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:56.759 a position a lower level position in fact, at the 91 00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:59.560 rival school, which is the University of Louisville. You don't 92 00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:03.039 see that really ever when it comes to vice versa. 93 00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:06.240 And that's what happened as Vince Marrow, a long time 94 00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:11.080 Mark Stoops assistant a associate head coach for Kentucky. He's 95 00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:13.800 had that role for a while now. News broke yesterday 96 00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:17.800 from Pete Thamil of ESPN that the Big Dog, as 97 00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:20.120 they call him, Mince Marrow will be making the trip 98 00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:24.120 down sixty four and will be joining Jeff Brahms program 99 00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:26.600 in a different role, a role that I think is 100 00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:30.480 very well suited for him, but it is in fact, 101 00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:33.920 as far as the title and certainly the salary, it 102 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.519 is a step down. And it also has led to 103 00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:38.079 because it's going to be an off the field role. 104 00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:40.519 There's no buyout for UFL to go snag him. So 105 00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:43.360 there's a lot of layers to this. But what it does, 106 00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:45.519 more than anything, is it just kind of to me, 107 00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:49.759 it points to the momentum that Mark Stoops has built 108 00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:53.360 and look the guy, regardless of how it ends, if 109 00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:56.519 it does end anytime soon, he's already had success at 110 00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:58.720 Kentucky when it comes to football. That I really never 111 00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:01.680 thought anybody would have. But man momentum seems to be 112 00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:03.319 at an all time low. For him to lose your 113 00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:07.319 top guy to the rival after a disastrous season a 114 00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:10.279 year ago, vib's not great for Kentucky football. So we'll 115 00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:11.959 hit on that next and a lot more. It is 116 00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:15.560 Kentucky and His Morning News on news Radio eight forty whis. 117 00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:17.879 Five point fifteen. 118 00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:19.879 Here at Kentucky and his Morning News, Nick Coffee with 119 00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:21.959 you on news Radio eight forty WHS. 120 00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:23.120 We'll have our first update. 121 00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:25.439 On sports with Scott Fitzgerald coming up in about ten minutes. 122 00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:27.680 I know he was up past his bedtime last night. 123 00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:30.879 I don't know your bedtime, Scott, Yeah, I was. You're 124 00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:32.680 up a watching Murray State. Don't you lie to me. 125 00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:35.399 You've been caught. You've been caught too late. 126 00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:35.879 Yeah. 127 00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:39.720 It was crazy, crazy ending to that game. It held 128 00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:42.480 the drama even further. And you know, just because I've 129 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:43.439 covered this team. 130 00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:43.839 You're around. 131 00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:46.959 They've been fun to watch. And just like the Louisville Cardinals, 132 00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:48.839 you know, Murray State most hot more aboud. As we 133 00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:50.959 get into sports, Murray State moving on to the College 134 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:53.639 World Series in dramatic fashion. 135 00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:55.319 And it feels like they are Cinderella. I mean, I 136 00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:57.160 always try to find I always find. I don't try 137 00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:58.680 to do, it just happens to naturally. I always try 138 00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:00.959 to compare what's going on in sports to a college 139 00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:03.680 basketball because I'm a college basketball junkie. But as the 140 00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:06.600 field is now set for Omaha, no doubt the Murray 141 00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:07.279 State Racers. 142 00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:07.759 They've got this. 143 00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:10.319 They've got Cinderella slipper on and outside of of course, 144 00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:12.480 the Volva Cardinals. I'm going to be pulling for the Racers, 145 00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.240 and they look as if they'll they'll be able to compete. 146 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:18.079 They're off to such a great start, so nothing to lose, 147 00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:19.360 nothing to bet here, no doubt about it. 148 00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:21.959 Represented by the male Bulldogs, Nick Shutty on the hill 149 00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:26.720 for the Racers. So you got Madisonville North Hopkins is represented, 150 00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:28.319 so a lot of a lot of local talent. 151 00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:29.800 They are the darling, no doubt. I know we'll get 152 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:31.639 into that coming up here shortly. So the big news 153 00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:34.759 yesterday this let me just back up. I guess a 154 00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:37.439 few months ago, maybe actually longer than that, now that 155 00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:40.319 we're into June, when Louisville season came to an end, really, 156 00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:42.639 when college football season came to an end. There was 157 00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:47.519 talk of Vince Marrow leaving his position on Mark Stoops's 158 00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:50.319 staff at the University of Kentucky as the tight ends 159 00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:53.160 coach and associate head coach recruiting coordinator. He had a 160 00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:57.199 lot of titles, and I just never believed that there 161 00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:00.399 was any It just didn't If something just makes no 162 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.720 sense whatsoever to me, there's a good chance that it's 163 00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:05.639 probably not true. And that's the way I viewed the 164 00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:08.639 Vince Marrow to Louisville situation. So I guess I'll just 165 00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:10.639 give you the news. He's leaving Kentucky and he's going 166 00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:14.079 to take a position on Jeff Brahm's staff at Louisville, 167 00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:19.240 so leaving his longtime friend to go join the rival 168 00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:23.759 when his longtime friend and I guess previous boss now 169 00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:26.959 is really in a make or break year seemingly, which 170 00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:28.839 we can get into that later, because I'm not sure 171 00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:33.000 if it's if it's a break year, meaning where they 172 00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:35.360 don't make it and they don't win many games, I 173 00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:37.839 just don't. I mean, you gotta do what you gotta do. 174 00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:39.720 But the amount of money that it would cost to 175 00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:42.480 just flat out fire Mark Stoops is a lot of 176 00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:44.759 money to any program, I would say, or at least 177 00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:48.439 most of them. And also, you now are counting your 178 00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:50.360 dollars more so than you ever have because you have 179 00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:54.000 to share revenue. You've got a twenty million plus dollar 180 00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:56.920 annual bill every year where you're sharing revenue now like 181 00:07:56.959 --> 00:07:58.959 your revenue is staying the same, and now you have 182 00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:01.800 to share twenty million it with your with your student athletes. 183 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:04.920 So anyhow, just the thought to me, it made no 184 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.480 sense because he would have to take a pay cut. 185 00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:10.920 There's no way Loisbell's going to pay him. Maybe I'm wrong, 186 00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:12.920 I will stand corrected. It just the position that he's 187 00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:14.120 taking on at U of L. It's an off the 188 00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:17.879 field role. He's going to be the As far as 189 00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:19.839 the exact title, I'm not sure, but he's basically going 190 00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:23.439 to oversee roster management, the transfer portal. He's basically going 191 00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:24.920 to be the GM, which is a new position that 192 00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:27.879 you're seeing within college programs because now you need that. 193 00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:30.759 You've got the portal, you've got free agency, you've got 194 00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:33.639 nil money. So it is a very important job. So 195 00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:35.720 maybe I'm wrong, Maybe they are going to be able 196 00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:37.200 to pay him what he was making. But he was 197 00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:40.679 already one of the top assistant coaches in the SEC 198 00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:44.080 as far as salary, meaning Vince Marrow. So maybe he 199 00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:46.559 is getting the same kind of money. But this move, 200 00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:50.639 to me, more than anything, the talking point here it's 201 00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:55.639 not just wow, he left Mark Stoops for the rivals, 202 00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:00.559 it's that he's I mean that he's doing this because 203 00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:02.919 there's been a fallout with him in Stoops to some extent, 204 00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:06.480 but also he's jumping shit before it gets even worse 205 00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:09.080 than it already was. And for those who don't know 206 00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:12.279 Vince Merrill's background, I mean he is believed to be 207 00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:17.200 I don't want to say solely responsible, but mostly responsible 208 00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:22.159 for bringing in the caliber player to Kentucky during the 209 00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:25.519 Stoops era that Kentucky never used to get. And I 210 00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:27.039 don't want to act as if they've been bringing in 211 00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:29.960 recruiting classes that are competing with the top dogs in 212 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:33.159 the SEC, like Alabama in Georgia or in the Big 213 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:36.360 Ten of Ohio State and Michigan. But for a Kentucky 214 00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:40.000 program that had always been in the bottom tier of 215 00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:44.080 the Southeastern Conference in football, they elevated from that. Now 216 00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:47.960 I think at times maybe they believe they elevated further 217 00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:50.240 than they actually did, But still they went from being 218 00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:53.039 a program that a three and nine, two and ten, 219 00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:56.840 four and eight type of season wasn't really that uncommon 220 00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:59.639 for them, and then they had some sustained success under 221 00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:01.200 Marks Oops and and. 222 00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:05.159 Zmar Vince Barrow was believed to be a big, big 223 00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:05.639 part of that. 224 00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:08.639 And now when when they need a bounce back year 225 00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:11.000 more than they ever have, he's gone. 226 00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:12.879 Do you think he's able to bring some of those 227 00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:14.720 recruits he was going to bring to Kentucky to Louisville. 228 00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:17.360 There's already some talk about some guys that have that 229 00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:20.279 may be decided maybe trying to flip because I mean 230 00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:23.440 this it was maybe this isn't as unusual as I 231 00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:24.320 believe that it was. 232 00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:25.600 But with with. 233 00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:28.840 Vince Marrow, I mean you'd have guys that it wasn't 234 00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:31.120 just talking to friends or behind the scenes. They would 235 00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:34.879 talk on camera on microphone and not take any shot 236 00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:36.879 at Mark Stoops, But they also wouldn't hide the fact 237 00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:39.759 that they were there because of Vince Marrow. So he's 238 00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:42.799 clearly a great recruiter. And now he's uh, he's leaving 239 00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:45.360 Kentucky to come to Louisville. Not something you see very often, 240 00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:47.559 which by the way. There are a handful of examples 241 00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:51.039 of players coaches over the many years that have made 242 00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:53.000 the jump from one to the other. I tracked down 243 00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:54.279 a few of them. We'll get to that later because 244 00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:56.600 there may be something I'm missing, But your next update 245 00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:58.960 of trafficking weather is coming up right here, right now, 246 00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:01.519 and we also have an update sports coming with Scott Fitzgerald. 247 00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:06.000 Right here on news radio eight forty whas. Thank you, John. 248 00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:09.240 It is five thirty five here Kentucky in his morning 249 00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:12.399 news with Nick Coffee on news radio eight forty whas. 250 00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:14.879 We'll be joined in about ten minutes by Roy O'Neal 251 00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:19.080 of NBC News, and we'll continue to ask him about 252 00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:21.679 the latest as far as what's going on not just 253 00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:26.120 in California, La San Francisco, but also elsewhere, because these 254 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:30.919 protests are probably going to be popping up all over 255 00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:34.279 the country, and obviously the attention right now is in California. 256 00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:37.320 As Donald Trump has sent two thousand more National Guard 257 00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:41.960 troops to LA and says that the it says the. 258 00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:44.960 Let me let's see. Yeah. I thought it was seven hundred, 259 00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:46.399 but then I was thinking that seems like a lot. 260 00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:46.679 But no. 261 00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:49.840 The Pentagon has also deployed seven hundred marines to shield 262 00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:53.840 federal buildings and immigration agents. Official say the marines are 263 00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:59.639 barred from police work the under a previous act. So this, 264 00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:01.879 this is it's not gonna I don't I don't see 265 00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:03.320 this ending anytime soon. 266 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:04.120 Maybe I'm wrong. 267 00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:06.759 It seems like it's gonna be a real fight. Donald 268 00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:09.480 Trump is clearly set on what he wants to do 269 00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:12.960 and wants to follow through with with the Immigration Act 270 00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:17.080 in California is clearly resisting, which is why you had 271 00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:20.000 the And it's not as if it's a surprise to 272 00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:22.639 people that that Gavin Newsom and Donald Trump aren't exactly 273 00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:26.440 on the same side. But these two Trump and Newsom, 274 00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:29.559 I mean, it turned into another another back and forth 275 00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:33.679 via the internet yesterday. And when you see Donald Trump 276 00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:39.600 threatened to arrest the governor of California, isn't it back 277 00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:41.679 in the aren't we right back to the once again? 278 00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:44.559 Is this real? Is this really happening? But but it is. 279 00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:46.159 You know, and you'll get it's kind of like what 280 00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:49.360 we saw on Bartstown Road. You know, same church, different pew. 281 00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:52.120 But you know, we talked on this show about how 282 00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:54.600 okay Barstown Road's gonna happen. People are gonna get out 283 00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:56.759 of the system. They're gonna move on. These protests are 284 00:12:56.759 --> 00:12:59.759 gonna happen, and they're gonna get bigger and maybe a 285 00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:03.559 little bit more violent, but ultimately people are going to 286 00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:05.480 move on to the next step. And that's not a 287 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:08.480 bad thing. That's not saying whoever's representing the cause, whatever 288 00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:12.480 side you sit on, is not worthy of your representation. However, 289 00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:16.600 I've seen these things unfold before and they get white 290 00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:19.279 hot for a while and then it just kind of 291 00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:20.879 takes its own course. 292 00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:23.120 They've got to run their they got to run their. 293 00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:25.360 Course exactly just like we saw Barstown Road and it 294 00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:27.440 ran its course and everything was back to normal. So 295 00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:30.639 I'm glad the protests here in Louisville are peaceful. I 296 00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:32.960 hope they stayed that way. It just sounds like in 297 00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:36.000 California they just started escalating and escalating and escalating, and 298 00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:37.840 you know, you've seen this before, nig I mean, they 299 00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:40.120 get out of hand and next thing you know, you've 300 00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:41.799 got serious problems, no doubt. 301 00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:47.360 So yesterday, Newsom called the deployment unconstitutional and inflammatory, claiming 302 00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:50.440 local police had the situation under control. He's suing the 303 00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:54.919 Trump administration alleging a violation of state sovereignty, and didn't 304 00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:58.519 take long for Trump to respond to that and said 305 00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:02.600 that Newsom could be arrested for gross incompetence. His press 306 00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:05.960 secretary said new some risks arrest if he obstructs federal 307 00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:09.279 law enforcement, though no plans are confirmed. Newsome then fired 308 00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:13.159 back on social media, daring Trump's borders are tom Holman 309 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:15.480 to arrest him and called it a move toward I mean, 310 00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:19.600 it's just this is it's getting contentious between these two, 311 00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:22.919 and I guess I'm not really surprised the more you 312 00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:25.279 think about it. And as far as the local protests 313 00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:31.360 that started, I believe yesterday it was downtown near the 314 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:36.480 Mizzoli Federal Building, Metro Hall, a handful of different council 315 00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:39.600 members that were there. Of course, they're opposing the ice 316 00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:44.480 raids and Trump's immigration policies. Overall, so peaceful, certainly, and 317 00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:47.000 it doesn't sound as if they plan on stopping. And 318 00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:49.000 it also doesn't sound as if they plan on having 319 00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:54.279 these protests become non peaceful, but certainly something to monitor. 320 00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:57.440 And as you said a moment ago, these when you 321 00:14:57.480 --> 00:14:59.320 hear there's protests going on, I think a lot of 322 00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:02.840 folks just all, well, you know, this could be clearly 323 00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:05.639 people are protesting because they're very upset about something, they 324 00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:08.279 feel very strongly about it. And yes, there's much different 325 00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:10.279 there's a lot of different ways actually to handle it 326 00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:13.039 when it comes to protesting. But really these things will 327 00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:15.840 run their course. You just hope that throughout it it's 328 00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:18.720 you know, as smooth as possible, and with that you 329 00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:20.679 really you really never know. But again, we'll talk more 330 00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:23.240 about this coming up here in about five minutes with 331 00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:27.000 Rory O'Neal of NBC News. Looking forward to our daily 332 00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:29.480 chat with Rory. We'll also get his thoughts on some 333 00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:32.360 other things as well, so stick around. It is five 334 00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:34.919 thirty nine. Your next update of traffic and weather is 335 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:39.600 right now at news Radio eight forty whas. It is 336 00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:42.720 five forty six here at Kentucky and is morning news 337 00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:45.879 on News Radio eight forty whas it It's time for 338 00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:49.879 our daily chat with Rory O'Neal of NBC News. Rory, 339 00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:53.200 let's get the latest one something we just discussed yesterday, 340 00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:58.080 and that is the unrest in California. Any big updates 341 00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:01.440 since yesterday. It seems as if things are escalating. Maybe 342 00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:02.159 I'm wrong. 343 00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:05.519 Well, it's sort of a mixed bag. Look, it was 344 00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:09.200 another night of unrest of the police have an overwhelming 345 00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:12.200 presence now in downtown Los Angeles, but it seems that 346 00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:15.840 there are more agitators in the crowd. The people who 347 00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:20.519 are stirring, the potty anarchists, seem to be increasing in number, 348 00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:25.120 while the legitimate protesters, the political demonstrators exercising their First 349 00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:28.279 Amendment right, they seem to be backing off a little bit. 350 00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:32.679 So that just seems to be anecdotal, But clearly police 351 00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:36.360 are ramping up their activities, arresting more people and being 352 00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:39.279 more aggressive about clearing the streets of these demonstrators. 353 00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:44.840 So seven hundred US Marines have been sent back. 354 00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:49.559 Yeah, So how rare is something like this in these situations? 355 00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:54.120 Protests unfortunately have not been a rarity in recent years, 356 00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:56.240 But how often does it get to this level where 357 00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:58.879 they're calling upon seven hundred US Marines? 358 00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:03.320 Yeah, the Marines being called up that may be crossing 359 00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:07.000 the line for some now. The National Guard who have 360 00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:10.720 been activated at the will of the President over the 361 00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:13.640 objection of the governor. That's something we haven't seen since 362 00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:16.960 the nineteen sixties. So you've got a total now of 363 00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:21.039 four thousand National Guard troops activated, only a few hundred 364 00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:24.680 have been deployed to protect federal buildings in downtown Los Angeles. 365 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:28.519 The Marines being called up is slightly different. We haven't 366 00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:32.880 really seen American Marines take up arms against fellow Americans 367 00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:36.519 on US soil before, so that is we're getting into 368 00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:39.759 some uncharted territory here. But we haven't seen the Marines 369 00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:43.640 deployed to the streets either, So it's all a bit 370 00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:46.200 of a wait and see. And look, the administration does 371 00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:48.359 want to show it, and I say the Trump administration 372 00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:51.279 wants to show its teeth. It wants to I don't 373 00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:54.400 want to say silence protesters, but it wants protesters off 374 00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:57.119 the streets, you know. And if you want to have 375 00:17:57.279 --> 00:18:01.960 organized demonstrations as their co ordinated with local government's fine. 376 00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:05.119 But the kind of chaos we're seeing in parts of 377 00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:06.880 downtown LA is not acceptable. 378 00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:09.680 Rory Riy O'Neil of NBC News is our guest joining 379 00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:12.680 us here on News Radio eight forty whas anti Trump 380 00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:16.720 demonstrations seems as if those may ramp up nationally as 381 00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:19.400 we get into Saturday's military parade in Washington, DC. I 382 00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:23.440 would imagine the Trump administration is making sure they're as 383 00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:24.480 prepared as possible for this. 384 00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:26.759 I would assume well. 385 00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:30.160 Right, and remember June fourteenth, Flag Day, birthday of the 386 00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:33.440 US military, two hundred and fifty years ago. President Trump 387 00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:37.559 orders this military parade to happen through the streets of Washington, DC. 388 00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:41.559 Lots of military hardware will be on display for Saturday, 389 00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:45.680 which also happens to be his birthday. But in coordination 390 00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:49.000 with that, or in response to that, we're seeing lots 391 00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:53.079 of anti Trump demonstrations being organized all across the country. 392 00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:56.839 So what's happening in LA may feed into that this 393 00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:02.400 anti administration kind of anger that might be growing this week. 394 00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:06.039 So that's something that we're tracking, especially in the Blue 395 00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:10.640 States where these anti Trump demonstrations could become significant. 396 00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:13.279 Actuum A scheduled to launch a four person crew to 397 00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:16.960 the International Space Station this morning. What is the future 398 00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:20.799 of the ISS in light of Russia's war with Ukraine 399 00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:24.079 and of course Elon Musk pulling out his government contractor 400 00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:26.319 revides Shuttle service to the space station. What's the latest 401 00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:26.559
