WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.399 All right, good morning Kentucky, Anah, Welcome in. It is 2 00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:06.400 Kentucky Anda's Morning News with Coffee and company here on 3 00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:10.320 News Radio eight forty whas the crew has assembled, we're 4 00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:13.480 all here, Nick Coffee, that's me Scott Fitzgerald alongside. We 5 00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:16.679 also have got the one and only John Alden producing. 6 00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:18.760 He's running the show. In fact, he's he's behind the 7 00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:21.519 board hitting buttons that without him doing what he's doing, 8 00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:23.640 we wouldn't be here. I mean we'd be sitting here, 9 00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:25.960 but we wouldn't be with you over the airwave. So 10 00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:28.039 he's certainly a big fixture within the show. And then 11 00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:30.719 of course John Shannon alongside as well. And I've got 12 00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:32.560 some exciting news for all of you. If you are 13 00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:38.759 somebody that really really loves thick, disgusting humidity, today is 14 00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:41.799 your day. Today is your time to shine. 15 00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:42.240 Dude. 16 00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:44.399 It was nasty yesterday, Oh god, it was. 17 00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:46.920 I went and walked around the neighborhood in Germantown yesterday 18 00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:49.960 and it was garbage day. Oh the humidity just brought 19 00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:50.759 that smell out. 20 00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:54.679 The humidity mix in some garbage smell. I was ready 21 00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:57.240 to cancel summer yesterday, fellas I was ready to say, 22 00:00:57.240 --> 00:00:58.240 you know what, that's. 23 00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:01.039 Already canceled it. Oh have you. We don't need summer. 24 00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:05.680 Bring me fall, bring me spring. Winter's pretty good too, 25 00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:07.799 but give me, give me the medium seasons. I like 26 00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:08.359 those better. 27 00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:12.519 Yesterday was one of the days where throughout here and 28 00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:15.040 there I would think, as I'm worried about having to 29 00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:18.120 change my clothes because I've got swamp ass, I'm thinking, 30 00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:18.680 you know. 31 00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:22.799 What, who likes this? Who prefers this? People live in Florida. Yes, 32 00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:24.680 give us fall in football. 33 00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:26.400 I saw a thing on TikTok. I said it to 34 00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:28.560 my wife and daughter last night. They said, here's an 35 00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:31.040 idea for those of you dealing with the swamp ass heat. 36 00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:34.560 Have yourself make a bunch of Christmas treats, throw those 37 00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:36.400 bad boys out on a Saturday night and have a. 38 00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:39.439 Party and just distract yourself and just throw living your 39 00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:41.239 own world to where you're not dealing. 40 00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:44.680 With the I' it's not enough, I agree, John. 41 00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:49.560 Yesterday it's it's like we've been waiting for a good 42 00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:52.239 stretch of rain to come in, and that's why the 43 00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:55.799 humidity is the way that it is. And we're supposed 44 00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:58.799 to get some rain, I believe later today. So therefore, 45 00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:01.920 as we wait, it'll be thick and gross. And I'm 46 00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:04.680 using the word thick because that's the word that was 47 00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:06.159 used last night by w Olk. 48 00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:07.200 Why is Jake CARDOSSI? 49 00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:09.240 And he could not have he could not have been 50 00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:13.120 more accurate, because it's gross outside. I tried to put 51 00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:16.080 my daughter's new training wheels on her bike last night 52 00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:19.639 and it's like eight thirty and I you would have 53 00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:22.159 thought I jumped out of the pool. And I mean again, 54 00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:24.360 it wasn't like I was just sitting in the shade. 55 00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:27.280 But it was in the garage, and it wasn't like 56 00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:31.159 I was working out. I mean, I unsuccessfully. I don't 57 00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:32.719 have a tool that I need to get him complete. 58 00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:35.800 But that's beside the point. But I couldn't believe I 59 00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:37.879 was out there maybe fifteen twenty minutes. And again, you 60 00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:39.360 would have thought I just jumped out of the pool. 61 00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:42.120 Yeah, it happens in your garage. For example, I was 62 00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:43.520 on my way home last night and I came through 63 00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:47.439 Heike's Point at Taylorsville Road flooded out and I get 64 00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:50.240 maybe five minutes down the road to my neighborhood. 65 00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:51.280 Now one bit of rain. 66 00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:53.800 I'm glad you said that because I'm I'm of the 67 00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:57.599 belief that's more normal than I realized. And maybe it's 68 00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:01.520 because I referenced the weather eighteen times exaggeration throughout the morning. 69 00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:05.560 So therefore I'm just I'm thinking. And look, I'm not 70 00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:07.479 knocking these guys. I get it, there's no perfect way 71 00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:10.599 to predict the weather. But oftentimes they see in the forecast, 72 00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:13.000 either it changes or they just you know, they get 73 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.960 it wrong. It happens. But I feel like the last 74 00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:20.199 couple of weeks we have had more so isolated rain 75 00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.479 hitting spots to where it's just not it's not everywhere. 76 00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:24.120 And again, I know that's common. I know that's not 77 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:26.479 something that's that's super rare, but it just seems like, 78 00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:28.680 for example, the storms over the weekend, I mean, there 79 00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:30.120 were some people that had to kind of you know, 80 00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.240 shut down a little bit because the wind, and then 81 00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:34.199 there's other areas where nothing happened. 82 00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:37.759 Yeah, exactly. But fortunately there will come in time, and 83 00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:39.759 this happens every year. I get just like you do. 84 00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:41.879 I'm done with summer. 85 00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:43.879 I'm just especially if you know, they see in the 86 00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:45.680 car and when it rains, I gotta roll the windows up. 87 00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:48.800 That makes it awful. Oh, yes, Oh dude, it's nasty. 88 00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:50.479 We're on the same page and I could and it 89 00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:51.120 was so funny. 90 00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:53.560 And then then we hit that one magical point out 91 00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:55.840 of the year where we turn a corner and it's 92 00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:59.159 gone and it just disappears. So I'm with you, guys, 93 00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:01.199 I'm looking forward to I got some full recipes. I'm 94 00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:01.759 kicking out. 95 00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:04.159 I can't believe it's already July fifteenth, dude. 96 00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:06.240 I mean, well, and that's what we'll talk about in 97 00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:07.960 sports as we move on through the morning. Is that 98 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:11.639 really Baseball's All Star Game represents sort of that turning 99 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:13.919 point because it led us the place to be now 100 00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:15.800 because you have the All Star Game and you have 101 00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:18.879 SEC media days going on as well, So you got 102 00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:20.920 these teams taking to the podium. 103 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:22.199 Everybody's getting excited. 104 00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:24.399 The high schools, I believe the football teams are wearing 105 00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:26.439 helmets now, they're back in action. 106 00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:27.439 It's coming, yep. 107 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:29.199 It's just you got to get there, and we get 108 00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:32.879 to that point now where we all, I think collectively. 109 00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:34.439 We here at the station are just done with summer, yep. 110 00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:37.000 And this is the time of year for my days 111 00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:40.680 doing a sports show. By now you've kind of exhausted 112 00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:42.920 all different ways. You can talk about your upcoming football 113 00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:45.279 season and you're just ready to actually see your team play. 114 00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:48.040 So it'll be here at some point, yes, sir, good 115 00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:50.279 stuff fellas. All right, we'll be Scott to be back 116 00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:52.079 with us for another update on sports coming up at about 117 00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:54.360 fifteen minutes. We've got your first check of traffic and 118 00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:57.759 weather coming your way. Also, what I want to get 119 00:04:57.800 --> 00:04:59.879 to here on the other side, some updates on the 120 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.480 big stories from yesterday. We can't catch a break if 121 00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:07.360 you guys haven't been following what ultimately led to the 122 00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:11.560 situation at the Fairgrounds on Sunday. That's just bad luck. 123 00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:14.839 And I'm a little bummed by the way it's being 124 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:17.959 maybe i'm sensitive to it, but I mean nobody did 125 00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:19.800 anything wrong, literally, just terrible luck. 126 00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:20.800 That's what happened. 127 00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:25.360 And also the tragic situation in Lexington again yesterday during 128 00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:27.959 the show, it was revealed who the gunman was in 129 00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:32.480 that situation, but nobody knows why, what would have led 130 00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:34.959 to it. And I've got some thoughts sort of on 131 00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:37.199 that question that I want to share with you guys. 132 00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:37.800 So stick with us. 133 00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:40.120 It's Kentucky and it's Morning News with Coffee and Company, 134 00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:43.160 Nick Coffee and the crew with you as we get 135 00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:47.759 this Tuesday started. Swamp ass season is here, folks. Look, 136 00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:50.000 I've been wrong many times in my life. I'll be 137 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:53.000 wrong probably many times throughout the show this morning, so 138 00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:55.360 I could be wrong here. But how can you look 139 00:05:55.399 --> 00:06:00.920 at what happened on Sunday at the Fairgrounds Kentucky Kingdom 140 00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:03.319 and during the run for the Roses girls basketball tournament. 141 00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:05.279 How can you look at what we now know and 142 00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:09.160 not call it just terrible luck? Right? I mean I'm 143 00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:12.360 a little sensitive to people just assuming that you know Louisville. 144 00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:14.759 The only things that take place here is what you 145 00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:17.319 see in the news. That's not good news, right, And look, 146 00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:21.199 we're not perfect. We could be better. But the big 147 00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:23.439 basketball event that we talked a lot about yesterday that 148 00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:26.199 led to a shutdown for the rest of the day Sunday, 149 00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:28.879 which I believe it's still continuing today as we speak. 150 00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:31.720 You know, they they there was a report of an 151 00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:34.800 active aggressor, which of course a real scary situation. That 152 00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:38.000 was one of the lead stories yesterday and now we 153 00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:40.199 know sort of what led to it all. And again 154 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:44.680 it's just terrible luck. And unfortunately this is a reminder 155 00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:48.439 that the the reaction, or maybe not the reaction, maybe 156 00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:51.079 the you know, the cut, the update on the story 157 00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:54.759 is not going to get near the attention as the 158 00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:58.000 story itself whenever the news broke on Sunday, and that's 159 00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:00.759 really just a sign of the times and currently how 160 00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:03.279 the new cycle works. But it is an important thing 161 00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:06.480 to point out that nobody did anything wrong, nobody was 162 00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:09.720 in danger, nobody cut any corners. As far as keeping 163 00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:14.839 people safe, it was just terrible luck. So it was 164 00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:16.959 first feared to be a mass shooting, turned out to 165 00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:22.079 be something again just bad timing and really a rare coincidence. 166 00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:24.560 Still a terrifying situation all the way around, but it 167 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:27.279 turned out a loud noise and then someone having a 168 00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:31.639 medical emergency is what caused mass panic that had people scrambling. 169 00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:33.639 And I did see yesterday more of those videos on 170 00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:37.000 social media surfacing as far as just what the scene 171 00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:39.279 looked like, as those that were there were under the 172 00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:43.160 impression that there was an active shooter. Very scary, no doubt. 173 00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:47.160 So it was about three point fifteen LMPD received reports 174 00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:50.560 of an active aggressor at the Kentucky Exposition Center and 175 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:54.759 that led to the chaos. So the explanation from LMPD 176 00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:59.040 is now that a ceiling tile fell and struck a 177 00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:03.519 metal chair that created noise that might have sounded like 178 00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:09.000 a gunshot at the same time this happened, and maybe, 179 00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:13.160 just maybe the scare from this ceiling tile hitting a 180 00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:15.920 metal chair is what caused this. But a woman nearby 181 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:22.439 maybe simultaneously ended up having a medical emergency, so that 182 00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:27.199 noise somebody having a medical emergency. The combined sounds and 183 00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:32.200 commotion created clear confusion, and then that fear quickly escalated, 184 00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:37.840 so Kentucky venues. They later clarified that the building's fire 185 00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:42.639 alarm system was also triggered by a Duck smoke sensor. Now, 186 00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:45.600 their statement didn't reference what LMPD said as far as 187 00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:48.919 the tile and the medical emergency, but again they swept 188 00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:51.759 the facility and determined there was no shooter, no credible threat, 189 00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:53.720 and it was really. 190 00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:54.360 Just all for nothing. 191 00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:56.360 I mean, that's probably not even fair to say it 192 00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:57.879 that way, because that's what you have to do when 193 00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:00.360 those kind of things happened. And more than any thing, 194 00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:03.799 this is just I mean, this is just a sign 195 00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:06.720 of of sort of where we are, a reminder that 196 00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:10.000 you can't take those things. It's not something that you 197 00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:13.919 can be in disbelief about, you, you know. Unfortunately, nobody 198 00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:16.039 I think walks out and expects to be in a 199 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:18.200 situation where they be. They may be near an active 200 00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:21.360 aggress or an active shooter. But again, it happens enough 201 00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:24.399 to where it's not the it's not unheard of. And 202 00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:28.080 again that situation somebody having a medical emergency and that 203 00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:31.440 noise and then the fire alarm system going off, I mean, 204 00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:35.039 that's just bad luck. And and again I just maybe 205 00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:37.799 I'm just the maybe this is the pessimist in me, 206 00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:41.679 But there will be people that just assume some kind 207 00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:46.679 of dangerous, violent situation unfolded because they're not as plugged 208 00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:48.759 into it as we are. Maybe they don't live here, 209 00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:52.240 and they'll just this will be a bad look on 210 00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:54.679 Louisville in their eyes. And I just hate that. I 211 00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:57.960 really do. Again, I'm probably more sensitive to it than 212 00:09:57.960 --> 00:10:00.759 I need to be. But and a lot of coverage. Again, 213 00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:03.759 maybe this is all interviews and stuff that took place 214 00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:06.799 prior to the information that we got, but I'm still 215 00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:09.840 seeing like all these interviews from players and parents and 216 00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:12.399 coaches that were there being sort of critical of the 217 00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:15.960 event and how they were handling the security as if 218 00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:19.080 there was an active shooter or something. And I just 219 00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:22.879 think context is important. I think those people interviewed after 220 00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:24.960 we got this information would have been a little bit 221 00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:26.240 more fair. 222 00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:28.039 But that's just the way I see it. 223 00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:28.240 All. 224 00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:30.559 We got an update on sports coming your way with 225 00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:32.879 Scott Fitzgerald. First, we'll take up we'll take a look 226 00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:35.159 at traffic with Bobby Ellis and of course get the 227 00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:38.879 latest forecast from WLKY, and we'll get to the latest 228 00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:41.240 as far as what we continue to learn about the 229 00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:43.960 shooter in Lexington on Sunday. So a busy Tuesday with 230 00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:46.080 us here, so don't go anywhere. It's Kentucky and it's 231 00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:48.559 Morning News with Coffee and Company right here on news 232 00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:53.360 radio eight forty whs. That's how you deliver a newscast 233 00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:56.039 right there, John Shannon, good stuff, my friend. It is 234 00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:58.799 five thirty five here at Kentucky ANDAs Morning News, Coffee 235 00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:02.840 and Company, News Radio eight forty whas Nick Coffee. That's 236 00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:05.720 me John all on alongside and I'll tell you what 237 00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:09.240 we will talk coming up in about ten minutes with 238 00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:12.440 Rory O'Neil NBC News. Get his thoughts on a variety 239 00:11:12.519 --> 00:11:17.240 of things, including the recent comments from President Trump about 240 00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:22.519 Russia and the tariffs. And also something else that we 241 00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:25.720 need to take a look at with Rory is drones 242 00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:30.759 now being provided within the battlefield for the United States, 243 00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:33.919 which I don't think that's super rare, But as far 244 00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:38.559 as who's manufacturing these drones and whatnot, that's something we'll 245 00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:40.639 talk with Rory about coming up here in just a 246 00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:42.919 few minutes. All right, So, yesterday the big story not 247 00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:45.840 only here in Kentucky, but it was certainly a story 248 00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:51.399 nationally just because when you combine the tragic combo of 249 00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:54.960 officer involved shooting and then somebody showing up to a 250 00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:59.000 church and killing two people shooting others. Unfortunately, that's not 251 00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:01.080 as rare the type of stories that that that you 252 00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:03.360 see anymore, but certainly just a tragic situation all the 253 00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:05.799 way around. And right now, here's what we know, and 254 00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:08.200 I do believe the majority of what we of what 255 00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:12.600 we learned, the big I guess information that people were 256 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:15.919 either wanting or just wanting confirmation on was who in 257 00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:18.279 fact did this, who this person was, And we did 258 00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:20.679 get the confirmation yesterday towards the end of the show. 259 00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:22.360 As far as who who it. 260 00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:25.080 Was, and it is the same it's the same person 261 00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:29.000 that that everybody assumed was the shooter, who of course 262 00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:31.320 is now dead, and that is a guy by the 263 00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:35.399 name of Guy House, forty seven year old. And I mean, 264 00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:38.960 I think the other details that were rumors but I 265 00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:41.840 guess have since been confirmed, is that he had a 266 00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:45.679 clear connection to some people at that church. I think 267 00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:50.919 the the his his I guess girlfriend ex girlfriend. She's 268 00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:53.919 been talking a lot to to to the media and 269 00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:56.960 and honestly just kind of surreal to see how I mean, 270 00:12:57.399 --> 00:13:00.519 I get the sense, and not to play psychologist just 271 00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:04.080 by listening to someone in an interview. I mean, I'm 272 00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:08.080 sure she's distraught and just probably every probably on atle 273 00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:11.039 pilot given what's taken place, but I almost get the 274 00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:14.120 sense that she she's not that surprised because of just 275 00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:17.120 I guess this this individual. But one thing that I 276 00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:21.159 think is another added detail that is relatively now information 277 00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:24.559 that one of the one of the victims that he 278 00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:30.039 ended up killing was the grandmother of his children. So 279 00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:33.039 clearly there's a there's a family dynamic there, uh that 280 00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:35.480 that that that that's the connection, that's how we ended 281 00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:38.879 up there, and I guess just some other information that 282 00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:41.320 that that is worth mentioning. If you guys haven't haven't 283 00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:44.320 seen it as that the officer involved the trooper he's 284 00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:46.840 he's out of surgery and expected to recover and be okay. 285 00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:48.799 And we now know of some people would We'll get 286 00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:50.000 to this later on, but we now know of some 287 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:52.600 people who are just good Samaritans and clearly saw the 288 00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:55.600 situation and did did whatever they could to help. And uh, 289 00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:58.159 that's always I love being reminded that there are people 290 00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:00.320 that would that, that will do that. And I don't 291 00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:02.519 think you ever ever can know when that situation is 292 00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:05.960 going to present itself, but nonetheless it did, and it 293 00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:07.960 sounds as if there were people that were there to 294 00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:09.879 try to help the officer. And again, as far as 295 00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:13.200 the motive, there's been no official motive release. Family members 296 00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:16.720 did go on to say that he had clearly a 297 00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:20.080 criminal issue, had some mental health issues with drugs, but 298 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:22.919 it was the mother of his children, Angel Rutherford, that 299 00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:25.720 I don't know if people suspect that she was the target, 300 00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:27.879 but he did ask where she was when he arrived 301 00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:29.919 at the church, and she was not there, and that's 302 00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:34.200 when he decided to take you know, I mean to 303 00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:35.919 take the lives of two other people and I guess 304 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:41.080 attempt to kill others. And this is not new, This 305 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:42.879 is just I think how I mean, this isn't this 306 00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:45.159 isn't a sign of the times or society. This is 307 00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:47.200 just I mean, I think it's just how we're wired 308 00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:50.240 as human beings. But this is new to me in 309 00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:53.000 what I in this job, this role compared to what 310 00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:55.679 I used to do. Is that what I've because I've 311 00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:57.360 been interested in this story and of course it's my 312 00:14:57.480 --> 00:14:59.399 job to now know the information as best I can 313 00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:01.320 and share with you guys, and of course share my 314 00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:02.080 own thoughts on it. 315 00:15:02.679 --> 00:15:04.559 But why, That's what everybody's asking? 316 00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:04.799 Why? 317 00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:05.159 Why? 318 00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:08.919 And that's just again, that's that's that's common. When you 319 00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:11.080 see somebody do something unthinkable, you think, well, why, what 320 00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:14.600 in the world would lead someone to do that? What 321 00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:18.240 could possibly bring someone to take this action and just 322 00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:22.039 do something unthinkable? And for some reason, I'm still like, 323 00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:25.159 what does does it matter? I mean, I don't know. 324 00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:27.720 I need to reprogram my brain to not hear so 325 00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:31.320 many people asking why and think that it's because they're 326 00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:33.720 looking for some type of like justification for it. They're 327 00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:36.080 not it's just, you know, as human beings, I think 328 00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:40.159 you want to try to understand what, how did this happen? 329 00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:46.240 How could something so heinous take place? And with the 330 00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:49.519 suspect now dead, we won't probably find out a whole 331 00:15:49.559 --> 00:15:51.200 lot more other than what we know right now, and 332 00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:53.639 I could be wrong, but just a tragic situation all 333 00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:56.000 the way around. And yeah, we know of two people 334 00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:58.279 that have that have been killed from this. It is 335 00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:01.720 Beverly Gum of seventy two years old, and then her daughter, 336 00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:05.919 Christina Combs, and then the injured that is Randy Combs 337 00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:09.679 Jeremy Gumm, who is the church pastor. And again both 338 00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:11.799 of these all of these people are connected and related 339 00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:14.679 in some way. So again, just an awful situation. And 340 00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:17.120 we'll let you know when we have an update on 341 00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:18.840 the trooper that was shot. 342 00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:19.039 Again. 343 00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:21.279 I don't believe his identity has been released, but it 344 00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:23.600 sounds like he is expected to make a full recovery 345 00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:27.240 after some surgery on Sunday. All right, Rory O'Neil set 346 00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:28.759 to join us, coming up here on the other side, 347 00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:31.279 Let's get a check of traffic with Bobby Ellis and 348 00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:33.720 we'll get the latest forecast from at Melosvitch WLK. Why 349 00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:36.200 this is Kentucky Anna's Morning News with Coffee and Company 350 00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:41.360 on News Radio eight forty whas, good morning, Kentuckyana. It 351 00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:44.080 is Kentuckyana is Morning News with Coffee and Company here 352 00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:47.600 on news Radio eight forty whas it's time to bring 353 00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:52.039 in Rory O'Neal of NBC News. We certainly always appreciate 354 00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:55.399 his time. Royal. Start with the latest with President Trump 355 00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:59.480 and Russia. As Trump is giving Vladimir Putin a deadlined 356 00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:02.279 in the world the Ukraine, and of course he's threatening 357 00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:05.480 to push those tariffs to really press the issue here. 358 00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:07.079 What can you tell us as far as the latest 359 00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:10.440 is this threat believed to be one that'll result in 360 00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:10.920 some action. 361 00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:15.400 Well, look, you know where the president is famous for 362 00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:18.440 making those we'll see in two weeks kind of timelines, 363 00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:20.960 but in this case, it's a fifty day timeline that 364 00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:24.160 he's laid out for Vladimir Putin to stand down. The 365 00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:27.960 President clearly saying he's frustrated that they'll have a good 366 00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:30.279 phone call with Putin, they'll seem to reach some sort 367 00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:32.960 of an accord, but then the bombs start flying on 368 00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:36.359 Ukraine again, and he's frustrated by it. He told the 369 00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:40.519 BBC that he's had four different sort of verbal agreements 370 00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:44.759 with Putin only to have Putin turnaround and increase the 371 00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:48.480 violent attacks against Ukraine. So this is why he's put 372 00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:51.440 down this fifty day timeline, saying, look, you've got fifty 373 00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:55.039 days to back down, otherwise we're going to start implementing tariffs, 374 00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:59.279 secondary tariffs. That's the important thing, not just on what 375 00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:02.799 we would import from Russia, which these days isn't much, 376 00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:09.039 but also what Russian partners like China and India also 377 00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:12.640 export to the US. So those countries could face tariffs 378 00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:17.000 of up to one percent unless they can get Russia 379 00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:18.759 to back down and finally get to a peace deal. 380 00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:22.640 So if these tariffs did take place, these are ones 381 00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:24.799 that would be and we would feel more like a punishment, 382 00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:26.480 right if in fact we get there. This is one 383 00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:28.880 that the ever more people would feel or know that's 384 00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:29.400 going on. 385 00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:33.720 Well, right, But it's also an effort by President Trump 386 00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:37.880 to have China and India put more pressure on Putin. 387 00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:40.839 You know, these countries have become strong allies now with 388 00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:43.519 Russia over the past three years of this conflict with 389 00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:46.960 Ukraine because essentially the rest of the world is snubbing 390 00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:51.119 its nose at Russian exports like their oil, and China 391 00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:53.440 and India are picking them up on the cheap. Now, 392 00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:55.839 there are two other countries we should mention, Iran and 393 00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:58.160 North Korea. They would also be subject to this, But 394 00:18:58.200 --> 00:19:00.920 of course we don't import much from those companies at 395 00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:03.839 all countries at all, so we don't have the same 396 00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:07.279 economic sway we would have with India and China. 397 00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:08.799 Rory and Neil is our guest joining us here on 398 00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:11.960 News Radio eight forty. Whas it's been clear that drones 399 00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:14.720 have been pretty critical when it comes to winning wars 400 00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:17.279 on the battlefield, What can you tell us about who 401 00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:21.920
