Speaker 1: All right, good Monday morning, Kentucky Anda. Welcome into Kentuckyana's
Speaker 1: morning news here on news Radio eight forty whas five
Speaker 1: six on a Monday.
Speaker 2: As we get the week started, Nick Coffee with you.
Speaker 1: We've got Scott Fitzgerald alongside John Alden as well as
Speaker 1: John Shannon. Your first update on traffic and weather coming
Speaker 1: up here in roughly four minutes. We'll also have news
Speaker 1: coming your way with John Shannon around five thirty, and
Speaker 1: a lot of things we'll get into throughout the morning here.
Speaker 1: I know Scott's looking forward to his first sports update.
Speaker 2: I don't, I don't, I don't know. Do you take requests?
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, just because you know, I'd love to
Speaker 1: talk some moiv of baseball early on, because how about
Speaker 1: that right back in the College World Series for day
Speaker 1: McDonald and his club, And this one's got to feel
Speaker 1: better than maybe most of them. I'm sure they all
Speaker 1: feel great when you punch the ticket and you've made
Speaker 1: it to Omaha, but this one been a while since
Speaker 1: they've been there, and certainly not a lot of momentum
Speaker 1: as they entered the postseason.
Speaker 2: But here they are.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Interesting presser with coach McDonnell yesterday, a lot of inward
Speaker 4: reflection the coach on a number of levels, to include
Speaker 4: throwing in a religious reference as well. I mean, this
Speaker 4: is this is pretty spiritual to the coach, to your.
Speaker 1: Pott, he's very outspoken on his faith, and he was
Speaker 1: not at all bashful to acknowledge that that he had
Speaker 1: to lean. He had to lean a lot on his
Speaker 1: faith throughout the last I guess. I mean that's really
Speaker 1: just that's a big part of who he is. But
Speaker 1: obviously things in the last i don't know four years
Speaker 1: roughly for the program were not anywhere near as successful
Speaker 1: as prior to that. That happens, but yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: to bounce back and show that you can still still
Speaker 1: get it done at a high level. Really, when college
Speaker 1: athletics has changed for everybody in a dramatic way. The
Speaker 1: landscape is much different now than it was just a
Speaker 1: few years ago. And the new world of college athletics nil,
Speaker 1: all that stuff is just created a fresh set of
Speaker 1: challenges for programs that are not big revenue producers like baseball.
Speaker 1: And even with those new challenges here they are they're
Speaker 1: making it so good stuff. I'm sure we'll also talk
Speaker 1: about last night's game two of the NBA Finals and
Speaker 1: some other things we'll get into this morning. Coming up
Speaker 1: around five forty five, we'll have our chat with Rory
Speaker 1: O'Neal of NBC News. He'll give us the latest on
Speaker 1: the protest going on in Los Angeles as obviously there's
Speaker 1: many there are that are fighting ICE as they're trying
Speaker 1: to track down on immigration, and that of course will
Speaker 1: be a continued talking point as they're still going on
Speaker 1: as we speak. Also, a former Louisville basketball player, Louisville
Speaker 1: legend Russ Smith, was arrested over the weekend for DUI,
Speaker 1: and obviously will that will be something we discussed this
Speaker 1: morning because the details are now out and it's one
Speaker 1: of those things where I got to say, just reading
Speaker 1: the details yesterday and even more so this morning, you
Speaker 1: can't make this stuff up. Just as far as the
Speaker 1: connection where the officer that that really it was his
Speaker 1: discretion to charge Russ or not, because he was actually
Speaker 1: below the legal limit. So that officer deciding to do
Speaker 1: that and arrest him for DUI is also the same
Speaker 1: officer who took Scottie Scheffler to jail after he was
Speaker 1: arrested right before team off in the PGA Championship. Again,
Speaker 1: it's one of those things where you just think, well,
Speaker 1: you can't make this stuff up. So we'll get into
Speaker 1: that end. This is something that I do want to
Speaker 1: spend some time on at some point, because I know
Speaker 1: college athletics has been hard to keep up with in
Speaker 1: recent years with nobody really knowing are there any rules?
Speaker 1: Does the NCAA still exist, because it seems like a
Speaker 1: complete free for all. Players can transfer anytime as many
Speaker 1: times as they want. Players can now get paid money
Speaker 1: through NIL. Well, there was a big piece of news
Speaker 1: that took that dropped on Friday, really was the It
Speaker 1: had been followed for a long time, but the house
Speaker 1: settlement is now complete, and I just want to give
Speaker 1: folks the basics as far as what this means when
Speaker 1: it comes to college sports. We of course are a
Speaker 1: big college sports market around here. I mean the local
Speaker 1: teams kind of are our pro teams. So it's still
Speaker 1: going to be a mess, I believe, but this is
Speaker 1: at least a starting point as far as some level
Speaker 1: of rules, guidelines, guard rails that everybody has to follow.
Speaker 1: So we are loaded this morning as we help you
Speaker 1: get the week started here at news Radio eight forty
Speaker 1: w h as week two for me, and I do
Speaker 1: want to apologize to you guys. I didn't I didn't
Speaker 1: want to sound like a stoner to both of you
Speaker 1: this morning when I when I requested upon their arrival
Speaker 1: at work today, do you guys.
Speaker 2: Have any eye drops? Oh?
Speaker 4: Dude, it does it? It looks worse than when you
Speaker 4: see Nicky. You got to tell everybody you don't have
Speaker 4: pink as you just put a sign on this. I
Speaker 4: don't have pink, guy, Yes I have.
Speaker 1: I've got allergies and I got to figure something out.
Speaker 1: I got, I mean, and I'm sure maybe there's other
Speaker 1: there's some folks out there that can give me some
Speaker 1: tips as far as how to handle it, because I
Speaker 1: take like a daily allergy pill and it's not working.
Speaker 1: But my weekend up up north probably didn't help because
Speaker 1: I didn't realize. Yeah, when you go north near Lake Michigan,
Speaker 1: near Chicago, they're probably seeing the effects of these Canadian
Speaker 1: wildfires a little bit more than we are. And I'm
Speaker 1: going to blame that on my eyeballs just being completely bloodshot.
Speaker 1: It's that and nothing else. I promise I'm not a
Speaker 1: stoner that was just needing some eye drops to be
Speaker 1: a little bit more discreet about it, but we've got
Speaker 1: your first update of trafficking weather right now. It's Kentucky
Speaker 1: and it's morning news here on news RADIOA forty whas.
Speaker 1: It's five point fifteen here at Kentucky and it's morning
Speaker 1: news on news RADIOA forty whas. Happy Monday morning, everybody.
Speaker 1: So I looked this up just to make sure I
Speaker 1: wasn't crazy. But the Ohio Valley region, of course, including Louisville, Kentucky,
Speaker 1: is widely regarded as one of the worst areas in
Speaker 1: the United States for seasonal allergies. And I'd always heard
Speaker 1: that because I've lived here my whole life, and I
Speaker 1: believe I was sympathetic.
Speaker 2: For those that dealt with allergies, but.
Speaker 1: Maybe I wasn't. I think I would just think, Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm really sorry you're dealing with that. Hope it gets better,
Speaker 1: but I can't relate. I didn't say that that last
Speaker 1: part out loud, but I think that's how I was feeling.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: Now, after I guess roughly thirty thirty four thirty five
Speaker 1: years of being able to not deal with these outsies
Speaker 1: that a lot of people deal with, they have hit
Speaker 1: me because in recent years, I've realized I've got to
Speaker 1: I got to medicate myself, and I ask people.
Speaker 2: Hey, do you have allergies? Do you have allergies?
Speaker 1: And a lot of people now are like, well, I
Speaker 1: mean sometimes, well, I think now I know if you
Speaker 1: deal I feel like, if you're somebody that deals with it,
Speaker 1: to it to the extent of where you need to
Speaker 1: take something every day or you're going to be miserable
Speaker 1: like I am right now in my eyeballs.
Speaker 2: That's the level of like, okay it.
Speaker 1: Not to say that you can't defeat it, but if
Speaker 1: you were taking something daily, doesn't that mean that like
Speaker 1: it's it's it's something that you.
Speaker 2: Got to deal with moving forward. It doesn't just go away.
Speaker 1: I don't know how I became somebody that deals with
Speaker 1: this now after not having it for so long, But
Speaker 1: I've got to. I got to figure something ot because
Speaker 1: I take a pill in the evening that is the
Speaker 1: I guess, the typical pill, and then I take one
Speaker 1: in the morning that's the non drowsy, and I mix
Speaker 1: in some eyedrops and I'm still getting my rear end.
Speaker 2: Kicked by these allergies. So I got to figure something out.
Speaker 4: Now, I wonder if your body changes accordingly to what happens,
Speaker 4: you know, certain changes take place in your Body's a
Speaker 4: good question for me an allergist. But yeah, it's it's crazy.
Speaker 4: I was telling you off the air. When I get
Speaker 4: around my brother's Golden Retrievers, it's kryptonite for me. My
Speaker 4: throat locks up, my eyes look like yours. And it's
Speaker 4: the only dog. It's well, there are some other dogs,
Speaker 4: but it's not as about we have basset Hounds growing up.
Speaker 4: They're short haired dogs.
Speaker 1: Well, it's funny you mentioned it's the only type of dog,
Speaker 1: because I mean, it's not like I'm going door to
Speaker 1: door asking residents.
Speaker 2: Hey, do you have allergies?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 2: How bad do you have them? What do you use
Speaker 2: to do to treat it?
Speaker 1: Because I got to figure something out. But when I
Speaker 1: do it, you know, when I ask people do you
Speaker 1: have allergies, it's either yell not not too bad, or
Speaker 1: they'll mention something specific that does trigger it.
Speaker 2: And Golden Retrievers.
Speaker 1: Are the exact dog that my buddy had mentioned the
Speaker 1: same thing where it's just it's one of those things.
Speaker 1: When I'm around them, it's going to be an issue
Speaker 1: to or I'm sneezing, rubbing my eyes, that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4: So did you do you remember a time when we
Speaker 4: were kids, you know, maybe we had the allergies and
Speaker 4: we just kind of either dismissed them as a cold
Speaker 4: because I feel it when I feel certain grasses.
Speaker 1: I tell you what I remember as a kid, hearing
Speaker 1: about allergies and just assuming that it meant like you could,
Speaker 1: like food allergies, like there's certain things you can't and
Speaker 1: can't eat, because I couldn't relate, like I never there
Speaker 1: was never any moment where I the weather changed. I mean,
Speaker 1: I knew what pollen was, but like I felt so
Speaker 1: non impacted by it that I guess I never really
Speaker 1: thought about it a whole lot until you realize something's
Speaker 1: off here, something's going wrong. And I remember, I guess
Speaker 1: it was a couple of summers ago. Was right around
Speaker 1: the time that I started to think, okay, like this
Speaker 1: isn't some kind of a head cold. I don't think
Speaker 1: I have something in my eyeball. Something's going on here.
Speaker 1: And my wife was like, yeah, duf, is you have
Speaker 1: allergies now? Like this is and and I realized she's
Speaker 1: been dealing. I mean, she's she's been dealing with it
Speaker 1: her whole life to where she's I mean, it's it's
Speaker 1: a it's I would I would classify her as someone
Speaker 1: who has severe allergies to where she's really got to
Speaker 1: stay on top of making sure she's got the right
Speaker 1: medicine and whatnot, because if not, it's gonna be rough.
Speaker 1: And again, I felt like I was sympathetic, but I
Speaker 1: don't know if I truly was until now I realize
Speaker 1: what she's what she's going through, and now she's all
Speaker 1: over me about the meds. Mostly, I would assume because
Speaker 1: she cares about me and wants me to be, you know,
Speaker 1: not dealing with it. But I think the root of
Speaker 1: it is that she doesn't want to hear me sniffling
Speaker 1: and coughing and packing up a lung. She's like, well,
Speaker 1: did you take your medicine today?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Well no, I probably should have.
Speaker 4: Your kids have allergies?
Speaker 2: Not yet yeah, not yet, but interesting. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Now I want to apologize to all of those that
Speaker 1: I was not sympathetic towards when they would describe the
Speaker 1: allergies and how bad they are kicking their ear in
Speaker 1: because now either I'm just really soft, or maybe I'm
Speaker 1: now dealing with the same things that you guys were.
Speaker 1: But anyways, I'll fight through you. With you, with your
Speaker 1: all's help, we can get through this. Are we got
Speaker 1: sports coming up. We've also got another update of trafficking
Speaker 1: weather coming your way right here on Kentucky and his
Speaker 1: Morning News. Thank you, John at is five thirty five
Speaker 1: here at Kentucky and his Morning News on News Radio
Speaker 1: eight forty Whas. I was more amused by this than
Speaker 1: I probably should have been. But the zebra named ed
Speaker 1: the pet zebra ed from Tennessee. Well he's not from Tennessee,
Speaker 1: but he escaped in Tennessee on May thirty first, and
Speaker 1: he was on the run for a week. He had
Speaker 1: a week long escape. Hopefully he enjoyed himself. But they
Speaker 1: did actually capture him, which is a good thing. Obviously,
Speaker 1: it's not a safe situation for probably both sides, the
Speaker 1: longer he's out there on the run. But I tell
Speaker 1: you what, some of the some of the pictures and
Speaker 1: video clips of those who spotted the zebra just going
Speaker 1: for a jog on the interstate, casually walking through a
Speaker 1: residential neighborhood. I mean, if you'd told me it was
Speaker 1: AI created, I would have believed you because it's not
Speaker 1: something that you typically see. But for those who missed
Speaker 1: this story, he arrived in Tennessee from a Texas breeder,
Speaker 1: and as soon as they tried to get situated in
Speaker 1: his new home in Tennessee, he was I guess unhappy
Speaker 1: with the conditions and he ran. He ended up on
Speaker 1: the highways. As I mentioned, he was in neighborhoods. But
Speaker 1: they used it was a drone assisted capture and helicopter.
Speaker 1: They airlifted the zebra, making a It was a very rare,
Speaker 1: rare thing to see. But you could tell they've they've
Speaker 1: got a plan when these kind of things happened to
Speaker 1: where they were able to harness the zebra and do
Speaker 1: the airlift. And it looks as if you know the
Speaker 1: picture I'm looking at here at NBC News, he's just chilling.
Speaker 1: He's he's kind of he's wrapped up in this thing.
Speaker 1: Doesn't look to be in any pain. He looks comfortable,
Speaker 1: and he's probably if I could read his mind, I
Speaker 1: would say, yeah, it was nice while it lasted, But
Speaker 1: now I guess I'm going back to, you know, being domesticated.
Speaker 4: But a question, does he sound like Chris Rock and
Speaker 4: Marty and Mattieascar that.
Speaker 1: Yes, I was, I was thinking that would be the voice,
Speaker 1: especially with you know, him having a sense of humor
Speaker 1: clearly just running around, and you know, he didn't look
Speaker 1: like some animals I would imagine, Not that I'm an
Speaker 1: expert by any means that if an animal is in
Speaker 1: an area in a situation I guess is the better
Speaker 1: way to describe it that is so different than what
Speaker 1: they're used to, Rather be at a zoo or where
Speaker 1: they're from naturally and their habitat you know, you can
Speaker 1: sense that they're uncomfortable and they just look a little
Speaker 1: on edge and guard up. But this zebra, anytime he
Speaker 1: was spotted, he looked like he was chilling, like he
Speaker 1: was just having a good time.
Speaker 4: What do we ever figure out out what brought the zebra?
Speaker 1: So? Yeah, neighborhood, yes, so so. Tennessee has a lack
Speaker 1: of strict exotic pet laws. Unlike most states, there's many
Speaker 1: states that have bands. Tennessee is one of the rare
Speaker 1: states that technically, if you go about it a certain way,
Speaker 1: I suppose, with permits and whatnot, you can own a
Speaker 1: pet zebra. Why you would want to own a pet zebra?
Speaker 1: I don't know, but so far I guess this this
Speaker 1: whoever this individual is that purchased the zebra from the
Speaker 1: breeder in Texas. Maybe it wouldn't be shocked if they
Speaker 1: decid Yeah, we tried, it didn't work out. Let's see
Speaker 1: if we can re home this zebra, maybe to a
Speaker 1: zoo or maybe. I'm sure if he really wanted to
Speaker 1: find a new home for the zebra, he could. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I can't. I can't imagine what would make
Speaker 1: somebody want to have a pet zebra. But you know
Speaker 1: that's just me.
Speaker 4: He makes you wonder how many people in our own
Speaker 4: backyard have exotic pets that we don't know about that
Speaker 4: they're keeping.
Speaker 1: Well, Geah, I think what you just asked was the
Speaker 1: real question is that how you know a lot of
Speaker 1: people were like, wait a second, what's a zebra even doing?
Speaker 1: As it's a pet, Like how would you even go
Speaker 1: about it? And you can And you know, I'm sure
Speaker 1: this whole story led to people realizing if I ever,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe there are people out there that are thinking,
Speaker 1: I'd always I've always wanted to own a zebra. Maybe
Speaker 1: I'll get a rhinoceros as well. Maybe now Tennessee's on
Speaker 1: the map was the place to go to. You know,
Speaker 1: have exotic animals as pets, I mean cats, dogs, those
Speaker 1: are the most common. People have fish in their fish
Speaker 1: tank at home, like zebra is an extreme.
Speaker 2: Type of pet, right.
Speaker 1: There's always that way snakes of course with your pets,
Speaker 1: but you know are still rare.
Speaker 4: Well, there's that one person what we see walking down
Speaker 4: the street with that big old snake in the neck,
Speaker 4: you know, just going I can do this because you
Speaker 4: don't like snakes, do you?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: How could you tell? I'm squirming over here just mentioning snake?
Speaker 2: Are you? Are you scared of snakes?
Speaker 4: John? You know, I've never really been around somebody who's
Speaker 4: doing what you're all talking about with the snake around
Speaker 4: the neck, but I'm pretty sure I would have a
Speaker 4: similar reaction with you.
Speaker 1: All right, So so let me answer it. Let me
Speaker 1: let me let me direct that a little bit better.
Speaker 2: If I had a.
Speaker 1: Pet snake around my around my neck right now, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, John, I want to introduce you to
Speaker 1: my new pet. I'm gonna come in the studio.
Speaker 2: You know, thank you?
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, so you're not scared of him because you
Speaker 1: haven't had the encounter yet. I guess that's the same
Speaker 1: thing with me. But if you tell me, hey, let's
Speaker 1: go play with snakes, I'm going to decline the offer,
Speaker 1: say thank you for the invite. So yeah, Ed has
Speaker 1: been captured and he had a nice run. We've got
Speaker 1: another update of trafficking weather coming your way right now.
Speaker 1: Also a conversation coming up here about five minutes with
Speaker 1: Rory O'Neal of NBC News. We'll get the latest on
Speaker 1: the protest going on in LA as. The immigration is
Speaker 1: still they're trying to crack down as best as they can,
Speaker 1: but obviously a lot of pushbacks so far from some
Speaker 1: folks in LA. So we'll get to that and more again.
Speaker 1: Your next update of trafficking weathers right now on news
Speaker 1: radio A forty whas. It's five forty five here Kentucky.
Speaker 1: This Morning News on News RADIOA forty whas. Let's bring
Speaker 1: in royo Nail of NBC News. Rory, what's the latest
Speaker 1: on the protest going on in Los Angeles. Obviously the
Speaker 1: immigration raids have created quite a situation there in LA.
Speaker 3: In LA and in San Francisco as well, where we
Speaker 3: saw about sixty protesters arrested yesterday. I know all the
Speaker 3: footage is there in LA with thousands of people on overpasses,
Speaker 3: gemming up the highways, setting fire to those robo taxis.
Speaker 3: But yes, there is a lot of unrest in California
Speaker 3: over the enforcement operations by ICE ordered under the Trump administration.
Speaker 3: And what we saw in LA yesterday was also the
Speaker 3: presence of federalized National Guard troops also complicated things. The
Speaker 3: governor and the mayor of Los Angeles have both said
Speaker 3: that the situation has been made worse by President Trump's
Speaker 3: decision to federalize the National Guard and to deploy them
Speaker 3: around the federal buildings there in LA. But President Trump
Speaker 3: says that the governor and the mayor have failed the
Speaker 3: citizens and he's got to step in to protect the
Speaker 3: people and property.
Speaker 1: That was actually going to be my next question. Clearly,
Speaker 1: Governor Newsom, Mayor Baths have been pretty outspoken about not
Speaker 1: necessarily agree with the way President Trump has gone about
Speaker 1: this with the National Guard, But do.
Speaker 2: We get it?
Speaker 1: Do we have a feel for what the citizens of
Speaker 1: these areas think. Obviously from a political side, I think
Speaker 1: we know the different sides here, but is there is
Speaker 1: there a way to really know, just those who live
Speaker 1: and reside in the area. Obviously, some have made how
Speaker 1: they feel pretty clear about going on and participating in
Speaker 1: these protests. But what has been the reaction locally from
Speaker 1: from clearly this crackdown and they're trying to I mean,
Speaker 1: they're trying to follow through the immigration agenda.
Speaker 3: Well, look, as we've heard from the governor and the mayor,
Speaker 3: these ice raids have caused a lot of anxiety in
Speaker 3: a community or across the state which has a very
Speaker 3: high migrant community percentage, and you know, lots of fear
Speaker 3: about who might be getting sent back or deported from
Speaker 3: the US. So they say that anxiety is fueling a
Speaker 3: lot of these demonstrations. And look, you know, yes it was.
Speaker 3: The footage is compelling to watch, but this has not
Speaker 3: been all encompassing. This has taken over a couple of
Speaker 3: blocks today. It was the work of it. You know,
Speaker 3: Let's see what happens on a Monday when people actually
Speaker 3: have to go back to work, and let's see if
Speaker 3: things do go back to normal quote well normal for
Speaker 3: LA but you know, let's see how much of these
Speaker 3: protests start to die down. The issue too is, you know,
Speaker 3: what is the resolution here? Right for the protesters, what
Speaker 3: is going to make them stand down? Because don't expect
Speaker 3: President Trump and you know, mister Homan or the Secretary
Speaker 3: of Homeland Security to suddenly turn around and say, Okay,
Speaker 3: you know, we give up. That's not going to happen.
Speaker 3: So exactly what it's going to take for some of
Speaker 3: these protesters to to to back off is also an
Speaker 3: open question.
Speaker 1: Now, there are claims from activists and the ACLU that
Speaker 1: that these raids have targeted legal residents, not just those
Speaker 1: that are undocumented undocumented immigrants. Have you do we know
Speaker 1: if there's any accuracy to those allegations at all.
Speaker 3: Well, I think that what we hear from the administration
Speaker 3: is we're going after the baddest and the worst, and
Speaker 3: the rapists and the child sex predators and this and
Speaker 3: the that. But I think one of the tipping points
Speaker 3: was the fact that they had a raid. I think
Speaker 3: for the people who are trying to get day work
Speaker 3: outside the home depot, going into elementary schools to try
Speaker 3: to get children. So they're saying, well, wait a minute, now,
Speaker 3: we thought you were just going after the worst to
Speaker 3: the worst, not the people who are maybe here illegally
Speaker 3: but aren't causing any direct harm to others.
Speaker 1: This is the first time since nineteen sixty five that
Speaker 1: the National Guard has been federalized without the governor's consent.
Speaker 1: Based just on this, I mean, there's layers to this story,
Speaker 1: but doesn't this say a lot as far as the
Speaker 1: federal state relations. And I guess the broader debate here
Speaker 1: under with President Trump and just against hearing that this
Speaker 1: hasn't happened this way since nineteen sixty five. That's also
Speaker 1: I think a big component of this entire situation, well.
Speaker 3: Right, and that's because, look, the Trump administration has said,
Speaker 3: we want the states to be able to do more.
Speaker 3: It's all about states rights. We're going to turn this
Speaker 3: over to the state, whether it's the abortion law, whether
Speaker 3: it's how you respond to a natural disaster. Let the
Speaker 3: states decide, Let the states decide. Let the states decide.
Speaker 3: But that's not what we're seeing here right where they're
Speaker 3: putting activated the National Guard. So it may be it's
Speaker 3: seen as a bit of a disconnect, but you know,
Speaker 3: the Trump administration says, look, this is has been an invasion,
Speaker 3: and they say that this has created this emergency situation.
Speaker 3: They're called you know, the president called the activities an insurrection,
Speaker 3: which is why he says he is obligated to respond.
Speaker 3: And you know, it does make more complicated what is
Speaker 3: typically sort of a natural and I guess it's not natural,
Speaker 3: but again something not typical, I know, but the often
Speaker 3: times historically the federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies
Speaker 3: at all levels all work together under what they call
Speaker 3: unified command structure, so that it all sort of funnels
Speaker 3: through one thing. Whereas here the Feds are doing one thing,
Speaker 3: the state's doing another, the city another. So it's much
Speaker 3: more complicated when they're trying to coordinate a response that's
Speaker 3: not coordinated.
Speaker 1: No doubt about it. Clearly you can tell not everyone
Speaker 1: is aligned here. But Rory, thank you as always for
Speaker 1: the time.
Speaker 2: Have a good morning.
Speaker 3: Thanks Nick.
Speaker 2: All right, that is Rory O'Neal.
Speaker 1: NBC News always appreciate his time in the conversation as well.
Speaker 1: We've got an update of trafficking weather coming your way,
Speaker 1: as well as another update on sports with Scott right
Speaker 1: here on News Radio eight forty whas
