WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.839 All right, Good morning Kentucky, Anda, and welcome in five 2 00:00:02.879 --> 00:00:05.480 oh five here at Kentucky and his morning news on 3 00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:09.039 News Radio eight forty whas Nick coffee, that's me. We 4 00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:12.119 got Scott Fitzgerald in the saddle as well, John Alden 5 00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:15.880 he's here, and then of course John Shannon alongside, and fellas. 6 00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:19.280 It as hot as what hot is fire hot. 7 00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:22.000 As I mean, there's a lot of different different things 8 00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:24.399 that are coming to mind to describe this, but I'm 9 00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:26.079 not sure there's a perfect one, and there's certain things 10 00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:28.719 that I probably shouldn't say on the radio, But man, 11 00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:30.480 it is it is disgusting outside. 12 00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:31.679 Is that Is that fair to say? Is that a 13 00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:32.880 good one to use? Disgusting? 14 00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:34.880 We're in a good time now where you can literally 15 00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:36.600 say it feels swamp ass hot out there. 16 00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:41.399 Yes, swamp ass season right on schedule, just like the 17 00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:44.119 summer is. And maybe there's some recency bias here for 18 00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:47.799 me because it's not it's still relatively new. In fact, 19 00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:49.640 it's still very new for me to start my day 20 00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:52.479 as early as I do. But I can't think of 21 00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:56.640 any time I've been outside between the three am and 22 00:00:56.679 --> 00:00:59.840 four am hour and it be already as hot as 23 00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:03.679 it is and seemingly more humid than it is during 24 00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:04.079 the day. 25 00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:06.920 I mean, it's just gross. 26 00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:09.439 It's crazy. I was telling you on my way in. 27 00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:12.280 I come off of sixty four from when I come 28 00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:15.200 down just after the Cochrane Hill Tunnels, before I turned 29 00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:17.439 to go up sixty five to Burke Street. I'll watch 30 00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:20.519 my temperature gate drop five degrees and as soon as 31 00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:22.840 I get on sixty five north, right there by Slugger Field, 32 00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:24.680 it shoots right back up five degrees. 33 00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:27.439 That heat Island is in full effect here in Louisville. 34 00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:27.599 Oh, no doubt. 35 00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:30.000 They showed the temperatures up here on the WKY four 36 00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:33.719 thirty newscast, just showing just the temperatures in different spots 37 00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:37.040 within the Kentuckian area, and it seemed like Louisville right 38 00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:40.599 specifically where we are downtown. It is hot as can be. 39 00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:43.920 And I've been hugging Monster Energy drinks this morning. I'm 40 00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:45.799 sure I'll pay for that later because the crash is coming. 41 00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:48.280 Maybe a nice cup of coffee can help me avoid it, 42 00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:50.000 But then that would be an even bigger crash when 43 00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:50.560 we get there. 44 00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:52.799 But when you are. 45 00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:57.640 Really really hot and you just think, okay, there's nothing 46 00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.519 that could help better than a drink of something to 47 00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:03.959 give me a little hydration and just some instant relief. 48 00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:06.879 Just something cool to drink that'll cool you off. Briefly, 49 00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:10.680 what's your go to drink? Obviously there's a different les. 50 00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:13.240 I think you can just be thirsty because you're thirsty, 51 00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:15.800 you're parched, maybe dry mouth, whatever it may be. But 52 00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:19.280 then sometimes you're you're extremely hot and you're thirsty. That's 53 00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:21.240 a different level. It's as if, Okay, I need some 54 00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:24.280 type of hydration and some type of a thirst quencher 55 00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:27.719 or I'm gonna pass out. If you get one option, 56 00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:29.319 any drink in the world. 57 00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:31.840 What would it be. I'll start with you, Scott I. 58 00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:34.120 You know this is crazy, and we joked. The watermelon's 59 00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:36.719 a big joke on the show. You're true, dude. I 60 00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.080 came in last night. I swear I ate a whole 61 00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:42.000 damn watermelon myself, and it's just something about the water 62 00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:44.000 based and the taste of it. 63 00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:45.520 It literally quenches the thirst. 64 00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:46.360 Of all fruits. 65 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:48.960 That may be the one that probably provides a thirst 66 00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:51.280 quenching effect like no other, So those other fruits that 67 00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:51.879 can as well. 68 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.639 Yep, Nope, that's it, and it almost better than water. 69 00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:55.599 To be honest with you. 70 00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:58.280 Yeah, I mean you're that. I would never have thought 71 00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:00.199 of that, but I think you're onto something there. Sure 72 00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:01.319 there's many that would agree. 73 00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:03.479 What about you, John, Give me all the Gatorades, the 74 00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:07.000 Power Aids, any of the different variants, body arm or 75 00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:08.000 I'll drink all those. 76 00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:12.680 Yeah, you can never go wrong there. And my answer 77 00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:14.840 is probably not one that would be as effective when 78 00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:17.840 it comes to actual hydration because Scott's given us a 79 00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:20.159 natural way to hydrate while also putting, you know, some 80 00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:22.879 calories in the body as well. John's going with just 81 00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:26.319 a drink that is quite literally marketed as something that 82 00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:27.840 will hydrate you whenever. 83 00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:29.560 You are you're you're worked up. 84 00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.439 For me, I think I would probably if I had 85 00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:35.520 to choice, I would probably go with the Sprite. And 86 00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:39.680 it's because it's it's billed as the thirst quenching soda, 87 00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:42.000 the citrusy lime, and it's got that. 88 00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:44.159 Bite to it. But I don't know why. 89 00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:47.400 It's just it's an instant thing and it really never 90 00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:51.879 actually long term quenches my thirst. But that carbonation, that 91 00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:55.240 bite that comes with really any soda. To be honest 92 00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:56.719 with you, I don't know what like I don't. I 93 00:03:56.759 --> 00:04:00.960 probably drink more carbonated drinks than I should, But it's 94 00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:03.280 really not about like, I have certain soft drinks that 95 00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:05.759 are my go to. If I'm gonna be drinking one 96 00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:08.439 at the house, I'll go diet coke really like sprite, 97 00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:09.759 you know. 98 00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:11.159 I'll really I'll drink any of them. 99 00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:14.639 But it's not necessarily just because I want the flavor 100 00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:17.800 of a big red or the flavor of a diet coke. 101 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:21.319 It's that kick that you get from from a carbonated drink, 102 00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:23.920 ye that I just can't. At times, I just can't 103 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:24.720 resist so. 104 00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:26.879 Be honestly, there's times where I'm just like, I can't 105 00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:27.759 do water anymore. 106 00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:28.600 Same here, I don't know. 107 00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:30.600 I think that all can't. I can't. I do enough 108 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:31.439 of it, but I can't. 109 00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:34.519 I enjoy water throughout just because it's you know, I 110 00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:35.199 don't mind it. 111 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:35.720 I drink. 112 00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:37.199 I try to drink enough to where I feel like 113 00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:40.879 I'm decently hydrated. But honestly, when it comes to just 114 00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:43.519 you know, man, I'm thirsty. It is hot as can be, 115 00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:46.800 I'm sweating my rear end off. Water doesn't do a 116 00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:49.399 whole lot. I mean I say that knowing that a 117 00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:51.399 sprite I would just keep drinking and want to keep 118 00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:53.639 drinking more, and then I would probably have a stomach ache. 119 00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.000 But yeah, I stay hydrated out there, folks. And here 120 00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:58.079 we are complaining about how hot it is. Mostly me. 121 00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:00.319 Look I started it. I'm throwing these guys under the bo us. 122 00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:02.639 But you know, there's people that go to work every 123 00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:04.439 day in these conditions and they're just thinking you a 124 00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:06.120 bunch of soft patsies. 125 00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:07.959 Come on, Nancy boy, what. 126 00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:10.560 Do you And you're right, I am not built to 127 00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:14.600 be outdoors for a long stretch of time during these conditions. 128 00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:16.639 So shout out to those that do it every day, 129 00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:18.680 and it's just become of their it's just how they 130 00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:20.839 make a living. So again, you're tougher than me. I'll 131 00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:23.639 never fight you on that. All right, we've got news 132 00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:25.759 and actually we've got traffic and weather coming your way. 133 00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:27.600 Then we'll hit sports in about fifteen minutes. Of course, 134 00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:29.800 your first newscast with John Shannon at five thirty. It 135 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:31.600 is five to eleven here at Kentucky and This Morning 136 00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:43.519 News on News Radio eight forty whas. 137 00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:46.920 Check its street. 138 00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:56.560 Peace in the Middle East is not something I expected 139 00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.279 to say that we would have and maybe that's somewhat 140 00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:01.120 of a stretch. Maybe I'm getting a little bit ahead 141 00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:05.040 of myself, but the development yesterday late into the afternoon 142 00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:08.160 and early evening wasn't something I was expecting. 143 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:08.600 What do I know? 144 00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:10.399 I don't think anybody truly knew what was going to happen. 145 00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:13.560 But I would say if you just take everything into 146 00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:18.720 consideration starting twelve days ago as to where we are now, 147 00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:23.000 you know, again, throughout those twelve days, certainly I guess 148 00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:26.000 there's some things that it would have been preferable to avoid, 149 00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:29.360 but we didn't, and now it seems to be I mean, really, 150 00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:33.079 dare I say best case scenario here? It's five to 151 00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:34.639 sevent seen here in Kentucky. Had this morning News with 152 00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:37.279 Nick Coffee on News Radio eight forty WHAS take us 153 00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:38.839 with you wherever you go. You can listen live on 154 00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:43.800 the iHeartRadio app. Also listen live at whas dot com. So, yeah, 155 00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:46.279 we've got we've got some big news that, of course 156 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:48.319 I'm sure by now all of you are well aware of. 157 00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:52.839 But President Trump announced yesterday that complete and total cease 158 00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:57.560 fire between Israel and Iran, which again, that's good news, right, 159 00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:00.319 It's putting an end to their twelve day war, if 160 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:05.519 we can call it that. So Iran, Iran sorry stopped firing. 161 00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:09.560 I guess about six hours after Trump's announcement. Israel they 162 00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:13.199 stopped I guess twelve hours roughly since after he announced 163 00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:16.920 that the ceasefire, the complete and total ceasefire, was in place, 164 00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:22.639 and the whole conflict. I mean again, I'm sure there's 165 00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:25.519 still some lingering effects to an extent, but overall, as 166 00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:29.639 far as a war going on that clearly the United 167 00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:33.240 States intervened in and got involved in to a certain extent, 168 00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:36.800 it seems to be seems to be over now for 169 00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:41.439 how long? Who knows, but I think there are many 170 00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:46.040 that were pretty critical for good reason. And even if 171 00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:48.680 you here's something that really hit me yesterday shortly after 172 00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:51.120 we wrapped up the show, is you know, I think 173 00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:55.560 it's normal, dare I say natural to know that you 174 00:07:55.720 --> 00:08:00.600 don't have the right answers, you don't have the perfect response. 175 00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:03.199 I mean, certain people do think that they have the 176 00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:06.319 perfect answer for everything in life. But I think it's okay, 177 00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:09.160 and it's somewhat natural to know that you don't have 178 00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:13.199 the right answers, and you don't envy those that are 179 00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:16.639 in position to make very important and difficult decisions. However, 180 00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:18.079 you still feel like, yeah, I don't know if I 181 00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:19.240 would have handled it that way. 182 00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:20.759 I think there were a lot of people. 183 00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:23.920 In that in that camp, and I'm sure there's many 184 00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:26.040 that weren't, but I'm sure there were some, and they 185 00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:29.800 probably were pleasantly surprised to see things play out the 186 00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:34.559 way they did yesterday. And I don't know, I just 187 00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:36.559 just an observation on my mind. I think there were 188 00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:43.159 some that almost not necessarily disappointed, but they you know, 189 00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:45.399 they were they were anticipating that this was going to 190 00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:49.399 be something that long term became very detrimental to our 191 00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:53.200 society here in America, the economy and whatnot. 192 00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:53.919 And who knows. 193 00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:56.200 Again, I still don't think we know for certain what 194 00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:00.200 the lingering effects are going to be overall. But if 195 00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:04.240 you were somebody that was very worried, very upset beside 196 00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:08.240 yourself after the news came out Saturday, as far as 197 00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:10.480 what President Trump decided to do, I would say, as 198 00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:11.200 we sit. 199 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:15.320 Here right now at five nineteen am. 200 00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:16.399 Just a couple of days later, a few days later, 201 00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:19.440 I'd say, this is best case scenario from that moment. 202 00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:28.559 So sounds as if Katar's mediation was a factor, and JD. 203 00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:33.080 Vance VP Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were 204 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:36.360 impactful in getting this done. So this comes after again 205 00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:39.519 a wild weekend where the United States hit three of 206 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:45.399 those Iranian nuclear sites and of course ran fired back 207 00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:48.799 with missiles, and just those are the things you would 208 00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:51.600 expect to develop given what took place. But now here 209 00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:55.000 we are again in a complete and total cease fire 210 00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:57.919 between Israel and Iran, which puts an end to that 211 00:09:57.960 --> 00:10:00.320 twelve day war. We'll talk more about maybe what can 212 00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:04.279 be expected moving forward from this with Roory O'Neal NBC News. 213 00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:06.200 He set to join us coming up at five forty five. 214 00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:08.840 We've got sports coming up in about five minutes time, 215 00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:11.480 and your next update of traffic and weather is right here, 216 00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:13.480 right now Kentucky and his morning news News Radio eight 217 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:25.200 forty whas. Thank you, John Shannon, appreciate it. That's right, 218 00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:27.279 a fresh batch coming your way right here on news 219 00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:30.360 radio eight forty whas. It is Kentucky and his morning 220 00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:32.639 News Nick Coffee with you. We've got Rody O'Neil coming 221 00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:36.480 up in about ten minutes, and it seems as if 222 00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:39.279 now things are in good place as far as they're 223 00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:42.320 being peace in the Middle East. Obviously it did. It 224 00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:45.120 turns out that Iran, did I guess. 225 00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:47.879 Back up there. 226 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:54.000 The missile they fired came after the ceasefire deadline passes. 227 00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:57.000 But President Trump has said even since then that the 228 00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:58.039 ceasefire is now. 229 00:10:57.879 --> 00:10:58.559 In full effect. 230 00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:00.879 Maybe they can blame it on a time to I mean, 231 00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:04.639 I shouldn't laugh about something like that. But as of 232 00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:10.440 let's see overnight at about one twenty five am our 233 00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:13.120 time here in the United States Eastern Standard time, that 234 00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:15.960 was the report that I'm referencing here that did say 235 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:18.720 that President Trump has once again said that the ceasefire 236 00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:20.879 is now in full effect. So Rory will give us 237 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:23.360 the latest on that and he'll join us coming up 238 00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:26.039 in about nine minutes or so. One of the stories 239 00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:29.120 you heard John mentioned in his newscast is the trial 240 00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:33.240 that is now underway early starting today as far as 241 00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:37.000 well Jerry's selection, I think is what's is what's getting 242 00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:39.720 started actually as as it stands today in Bowling Green, 243 00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:44.720 Warren County. And this story the disappearance of Crystal Rogers, 244 00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:49.519 the alleged suspect of course being her former boyfriend, and 245 00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:52.360 now we know a father and son, the Lawsons. 246 00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:53.240 They they are. 247 00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:56.399 One of them has already been convicted, and of course 248 00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:00.519 the other is going to be facing trial today. Troll 249 00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:03.200 moving forward here as it all gets started today, both 250 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:08.960 brooks Auk and the younger Losson. So I believe a 251 00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:11.600 lot of folks are aware of this, But let me 252 00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:16.480 just tell you what this story is. Nationally, So true 253 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:20.440 crime is the most popular genre out there when it 254 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:26.120 comes to how people consume content, podcast, TV shows, documentaries, 255 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:30.279 just reading that kind of stuff. And I don't see 256 00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:32.200 that going anywhere anytime soon. And I say that as 257 00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:36.320 somebody who also really loves true crime myself. I can 258 00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:38.360 just get hooked on things. I mean, did the one 259 00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:40.240 I did not get into recently that of course became 260 00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:43.320 a huge, huge thing nationally. I kind of felt I 261 00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:46.759 had some fomo because I didn't really follow it at all. 262 00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:48.759 But it sounds like something I'd be very interested in, 263 00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:51.240 and that is the trial of Karen Reed, which, of course, 264 00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:53.039 last week she was found not guilty for what she 265 00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:55.919 was accused of, which was murdering her ex boyfriend who 266 00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:59.320 was a Boston cop. But nonetheless, this story is now 267 00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:03.279 ten years old, the Crystal Rogers case, and I don't 268 00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:05.759 know what people realize just how much national coverage this 269 00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:08.480 has gotten, not just because it's the ultimate mystery and 270 00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:10.759 ten years have gone by, and there's some other things 271 00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:13.399 that have taken place in the Barstown area that there's 272 00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:15.000 no way to know for certain, at least right now, 273 00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:16.799 but it wouldn't be a shocker. And you can see 274 00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:19.320 why people try to connect dots and think that other 275 00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:22.240 crazy crimes that you'd never think would happen in a 276 00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:25.159 place like Bargetown, Kentucky, could all be tied to this, 277 00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:26.399 Like they could all be linked. 278 00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:29.720 But the different the you know, the different. 279 00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:34.399 Networks that have covered this story, I think would surprise 280 00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:38.399 a lot of people. I mean, you've had I mean 281 00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:41.799 when it comes to the I mean, I know the 282 00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:46.159 Investigation Discovery, I know they featured, Yeah, here we go, 283 00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:48.879 there's a breakdown of it. So the Disappearance of Krystal Rogers. 284 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:51.240 That was a six episode documentary minitory series that came 285 00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:53.919 out on the Oxygen Network in twenty eighteen, and I 286 00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:56.320 feel like that was the first time it really you know, 287 00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:58.279 people who didn't know much about it, don't have any 288 00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:03.440 connection or any ties at all to Bargetown. They just 289 00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:05.120 you know, it's like you pop on a true crime 290 00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:06.919 show and you'd never heard anything about it, and you're 291 00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:10.799 hooked just because you're intrigued. So that was in twenty eighteen, 292 00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:15.679 and since then the HLN Network, the HLN Investigative Team, 293 00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:17.600 they had a documentary that focused on the case. That's 294 00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:21.519 of course it's owned by CNN. And then there was 295 00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:25.000 also the Investigation Discovery Channel, which I'm addicted to that 296 00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:27.840 they had something called Still a Mystery. The episode it's 297 00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:30.440 a series, but the episode that featured this case was 298 00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:35.679 called Kentucky Murder Mystery. Even Dateline in twenty twenty have 299 00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:40.080 featured this. So if you are a true crime fanatic 300 00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:42.200 out there, and there are many as mentioned, that's why 301 00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:43.919 I said that for those who don't know, this is 302 00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:45.240 one of the most popular. In fact, it is the 303 00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:47.600 most popular genre out there when it comes to just content. 304 00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:51.960 There will be a lot of eyeballs on this trial. 305 00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:56.519 And as this moves forward in Bowling Green and I 306 00:14:56.559 --> 00:15:00.480 mean allegedly her boyfriend is I mean, and that's that's 307 00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:03.559 who the prosecution is is, certainly after he's the main target. 308 00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:06.559 And there are some things that I think make it 309 00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:09.279 an open and shutcase. But you know what, I don't 310 00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:10.519 know if you guys know this. I didn't go to 311 00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:14.639 law school. You know, I think it's pretty important to 312 00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:16.919 have the body which has never been discovered, and that's 313 00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:19.799 a huge factor in really, you know, getting I think 314 00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:23.159 what you want, which is a murder conviction. So anyhow, 315 00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:25.360 we'll certainly keep you updated as best we can, but 316 00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:27.120 I know a lot of you won't be relying on 317 00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:28.840 us because you're going to be hooked to this because 318 00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:32.200 it's just something you've been probably hopefully it hasn't consumed 319 00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:35.639 you too much, but certainly been ten years now and 320 00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:38.279 it seems to have just exploded into a national story, 321 00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:41.279 maybe even more so than we realize around here. All Right, 322 00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:43.960 we've got Rory O'Neal of NBC News joining us coming 323 00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:46.080 up in about five minutes. But first, another update on 324 00:15:46.120 --> 00:16:01.440 trafficking weather right here on news radio eight forty whas. 325 00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:56.440 Five forty six here Kentucky. 326 00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:58.279 And it's morning News with Nick Coffee on news radio 327 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:03.000 eight forty whas. Let's bring in Rory O'Neal of NBC News. Rory, 328 00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:05.960 good morning, sir, What is the latest here? I know 329 00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:08.879 we had a ceasefire and then we kind of didn't 330 00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:09.840 and now we do again. 331 00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:11.279 Is that is that accurate to say? 332 00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:15.159 Yeah, fragile is the word of the day. And let's 333 00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:15.919 see how things go. 334 00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:20.159 Both sides were lobbing missiles at one another. Now they're 335 00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:24.519 lobbying accusations at each other of violations of this seasfire deal. 336 00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:28.240 But it does seem that things seem to be holding 337 00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:32.440 after a shaky start to the seasfire, but some encouraging signs, 338 00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:35.639 you know. President Trump announced the fact that this seasfire 339 00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:39.879 was happening, surprising everyone around six o'clock last night Eastern time, 340 00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:42.720 saying it would take effect about six hours later. In 341 00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:45.759 the staggered way, it seems there was one last flurry 342 00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:49.000 of activity, But now things seemed to be holding. 343 00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:52.759 So fingers crossed absolutely, And yesterday I could sense it 344 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:55.440 as the day moved forward, those who maybe aren't as 345 00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:58.919 plugged into this as others, started to, you know, get 346 00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:01.440 more on what was going on, and they worried about 347 00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:04.680 what could this mean for me, meaning at the gas pump. 348 00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:08.079 What were the initial expectations? And I guess, since now 349 00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:11.920 we've got good news, I guess moving forward, should there 350 00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:12.920 be as much concern? 351 00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:17.920 Well, it's fascinating because I think when the US launched 352 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:22.480 those strikes over the weekend, we all expected oil prices 353 00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:26.039 are going to skyrocket as a result, soon gas prices 354 00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:28.400 are going to go up to because anytime there's that 355 00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:31.559 kind of volatility, you get a little worried. But instead 356 00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:36.279 everyone seemed rather calm, and gas was sort of fluctuating 357 00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:38.759 just a couple of percentage points, or oil was just 358 00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:41.680 a couple of percentage points yesterday, back and forth, really, 359 00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:45.400 but then when word of the ceasefire came, it really 360 00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:48.160 started to fall. So it's now down about three and 361 00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:51.440 a half percent. Oil is now cheaper today than it 362 00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:55.920 was before Israel started this series of attacks on to Iran. 363 00:17:56.960 --> 00:17:59.720 So you would be able to check the pulse better 364 00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:03.000 than my self as far as just the initial reaction 365 00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:06.319 as it developed yesterday that we had potential peace here 366 00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:07.960 in the Middle East, and certainly again there was the 367 00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:11.559 missile fired after the ceasefire, and now again we seem 368 00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:12.440 to be in a good place. 369 00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:14.000 Was this a surprise? 370 00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:16.680 I think it's good news, certainly, but I don't think 371 00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:18.559 that many expected. Again, I know you can't speak for 372 00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:20.599 anybody with yourself, but I think this was a pleasant 373 00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:23.240 surprise yesterday to see this thing wrap up a lot 374 00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:24.720 quicker than I think most expected. 375 00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:28.519 Well, right, and I neglected to mention the fact that 376 00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:33.839 Iran launched this retaliatory strike on the US military base 377 00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:36.319 in Cutter yesterday as well. And it was sort of lame, 378 00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:39.400 to be honest with you, Right, they matched your missile 379 00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:42.880 missile Essentially, they said, all right, you guys dropped fourteen 380 00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:46.119 bunker busters, we're going to launch fourteen missiles that you 381 00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:48.920 by the way, here they come. They're going to come 382 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:52.079 in about an hour, so get ready. So it really 383 00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:56.400 helped that it was easy for Cutter to neutralize those 384 00:18:56.519 --> 00:19:01.440 missiles before they reached anyone could really do any damage 385 00:19:01.519 --> 00:19:05.599 or harm. So it really was Iran sort of saying, okay, look, 386 00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:08.200 we're just here to save face. Don't forget. You know, 387 00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:11.240 it's a media blackout, so Iran really only what they 388 00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:13.759 want to hear. And they said, we get to say, 389 00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:17.279 see we retaliated against the Great West and you know, 390 00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:21.400 we're not surrendering. But really was such a lame response, 391 00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:24.559 and then President Trump decided not to take action as 392 00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:27.119 a result of that response, and then again a couple 393 00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:30.240 hours later, now we're into ceasefire talk, so again, Let's 394 00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:33.200 see how this holds. It seems pretty tenuous right now, 395 00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:35.640 but Iran is certainly in a much weak and more 396 00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:37.880 weakened position than it was more than a week ago. 397 00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:42.279 With the congressional summer recess approaching, Senate leadership is promising 398 00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:45.759 to stay in session until President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill 399 00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:46.440 has passed. 400 00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:47.839 What's the latest here? 401 00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:50.200
