Speaker 1: Good morning, Kentucky, Ana. Welcome man.
Speaker 2: It is Kentucky Anda's Morning News with coffee and company
Speaker 2: here on news radio eight forty w h as.
Speaker 1: We've got a full crew in house today.
Speaker 2: Obviously, Scott Fitzgerald, he's alongside, as he just saw.
Speaker 1: The the newscasts was funny. I didn't see that. Get
Speaker 1: this sense that's your first time seeing that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, well yeah, I ended up. I was pretty
Speaker 3: much out of touch. Last I was telling you off
Speaker 3: the ear, I was out of touch. So I'm catching
Speaker 3: up this morning. I had not seen the person jumping
Speaker 3: up and down on the water truck.
Speaker 1: I swear. As soon as we get we get the
Speaker 1: party started.
Speaker 2: Here. We've got the woky newscast on on our television
Speaker 2: here of course, our partners. And as soon as Scott
Speaker 2: looks behind him, there is the woman who was later
Speaker 2: arrested for jumping in front of the Louisville Water Company trucks.
Speaker 2: As that person's just trying to do their jobs. So anyhow,
Speaker 2: we'll certainly talk about that today and that'll be a
Speaker 2: big talking point obviously.
Speaker 1: But again, a full crew. Scott Fitzgerald's here.
Speaker 2: We also have John Shannon, he'll be along with the
Speaker 2: news coming up about five thirty and mister radio Rick
Speaker 2: Ryder in the saddled today. Rick, let me ask you
Speaker 2: a question, and I don't want to aid you, but
Speaker 2: you've been doing this a long time, my friend. That's
Speaker 2: why I call you mister radio Rick, because you're a
Speaker 2: pioneer in the industry. What year did you first work
Speaker 2: in the business of radio? Nineteen seventy many years ago,
Speaker 2: and that's why again, you're a legend. So we're happy
Speaker 2: to have you alongside today. And now we're gonna have
Speaker 2: some fun. Obviously, as you could expect, we've got a
Speaker 2: story here that will I don't want to say dominate
Speaker 2: the show because we're gonna mix it up and have
Speaker 2: some fun. But this is now the second time in
Speaker 2: the last roughly ten days or so that when you
Speaker 2: check national headlines before starting a news talk show, you
Speaker 2: see a headline nationally that of course is of local
Speaker 2: interest in that is, of course, what happened yesterday with
Speaker 2: Brent Hankinson getting sentenced, which I got the Scott You
Speaker 2: and I were chatting about this right before we started
Speaker 2: the show. It did feel regardless of what folks wanted
Speaker 2: to see happen, meaning a really really harsh sentence, or
Speaker 2: maybe they felt as if no sentence was deserved. I
Speaker 2: didn't think anybody truly knew what to expect.
Speaker 1: No, they didn't, And I thought it was a little odd.
Speaker 1: The one day recommendation.
Speaker 3: It was kind of like reminded me when USFL was
Speaker 3: awarded one dollar when they were going out, So I
Speaker 3: was like, where did that come from? And that's why
Speaker 3: I was asking you getting caught up?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 3: Thirty three months was the sentence for Brent Hankinson. And
Speaker 3: it's gonna be very interesting listening to the public reaction
Speaker 3: to this and what people think wasn't enough. I'm sure
Speaker 3: there are some folks that think it wasn't enough, some
Speaker 3: folks that think now it was too much, But I like,
Speaker 3: I appreciate your take you had on this, and I
Speaker 3: think you're one hundred percent on point here.
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, I mean, when it comes to just
Speaker 2: what Brent hank take take away, And again, this is
Speaker 2: really hard for people to do, and I'm gonna try
Speaker 2: my best to lay it out and hopefully you guys
Speaker 2: will hear me out. But if you just take away
Speaker 2: and I don't mean to act like it doesn't matter,
Speaker 2: but when it comes to just the overall sentencing, if
Speaker 2: you can remove any and again when it comes to
Speaker 2: a judge, I do think they factor in sort of
Speaker 2: what is the crime, what exactly is he being charged with.
Speaker 2: So if you just look at what he did that night,
Speaker 2: I mean, he was shoddy police work that clearly put
Speaker 2: a lot of people's lives in danger, that had nothing
Speaker 2: to do with what was going on and what the
Speaker 2: purpose was when they were there to bring, you know,
Speaker 2: clearly try to serve a warrant that obviously wasn't on
Speaker 2: the up and ups. So I want to lay that
Speaker 2: out throughout the morning here. And it's not to try
Speaker 2: to convince anybody that they should change their thoughts if
Speaker 2: their thoughts aren't aligned with mine. But I do think
Speaker 2: when it comes to just the expectation that there would
Speaker 2: be no sent it just didn't.
Speaker 1: Seem realistic that there'd be nothing.
Speaker 2: But the DJ clearly, I guess they feel as if, hey,
Speaker 2: he was he's a cop, and he was doing what
Speaker 2: cops do, and yeah, he might have made a mistake
Speaker 2: and some things happened, but I guess they felt as
Speaker 2: if maybe he'd already I don't know what they thought,
Speaker 2: but clearly they didn't think that he was deserving of
Speaker 2: any any further punishment as far as incarceration, but it
Speaker 2: was quite clear that the judge felt felt much different,
Speaker 2: and that is why you saw the three years thirty
Speaker 2: three months in prison with three years supervis release. So again,
Speaker 2: that of course will be a big talking point today
Speaker 2: and if you have, if you have thoughts on it,
Speaker 2: you're welcome to share it. We have the talkback feature
Speaker 2: that's on the Aheart radio app, and I was accused
Speaker 2: last week of if you're gonna mention the talkback feature,
Speaker 2: you should listen to it. In fact, we had people
Speaker 2: using the talkback feature to say that, and I will
Speaker 2: tell you that you were right. Sometimes I forget about it.
Speaker 2: Yesterday was one of those days because we had some
Speaker 2: issues to start the show yesterday, and had I check
Speaker 2: the talkback feature, I would have noticed that all of
Speaker 2: you were letting us know we had some audio issues
Speaker 2: that we were unaware of. So we'll let you guys
Speaker 2: contribute to the show. And again, now, if you're I
Speaker 2: probably probably should say this. I was gonna not, but
Speaker 2: I mean, you have thirty seconds with the talkback feature
Speaker 2: to share really, whatever it is you want, but just
Speaker 2: do keep in mind there are certain things that I mean,
Speaker 2: I have to censor you, not because of your beliefs,
Speaker 2: but because this is radio, right, This is when I
Speaker 2: censor you. It's not because I'm trying to be you know,
Speaker 2: two PC or whatnot, but quite literally, there are things
Speaker 2: you can and cannot say on the radio.
Speaker 1: So just keep that in mind.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a great feature to your point, but yeah,
Speaker 3: you do listen to it.
Speaker 4: Nick.
Speaker 3: I can tell folks that you do listen. Nick takes
Speaker 3: in everything you have to say, but not everybody can
Speaker 3: be heard because of some of the things that are said.
Speaker 3: You see, kind of puts the hammer down on us
Speaker 3: if we allow those things to go on over the air.
Speaker 3: But yeah, use that feature and use it. And I
Speaker 3: wanted to tell folks use it for sports as well,
Speaker 3: to sure take you on on sports. Please do, because
Speaker 3: that's what we're all feedback.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, we're loaded here on a Tuesday again. We'll
Speaker 2: get you what you've come to expect here on News
Speaker 2: Radio eight forty whas a check of the traffic out
Speaker 2: there on the roadways, an updated forecast coming your way,
Speaker 2: and of course Scott will be back with sports at
Speaker 2: about fifteen minutes and John Shannon with the news. So
Speaker 2: again we're loaded here on a Tuesday, and hope you
Speaker 2: stick with us. Right here, it's Kentucky and this morning
Speaker 2: News with Coffee and Company right here on news Radio
Speaker 2: eight forty whas. All right, let's get a look at
Speaker 2: the forecast from Matt Melosovich of WLKY. Gonna be partly
Speaker 2: cloudy and less humid today. High's near ninety tonight bear
Speaker 2: Sky's Lowe's in the lower seventies and currently at five twelve,
Speaker 2: it is seventy forty degrees here at news Radio eight
Speaker 2: forty whas five point sixteen Here Kentucky, Ana's Morning News
Speaker 2: News Radio eight forty whas. It is Coffee and Company,
Speaker 2: Nick Coffee, that is me And certainly a big day
Speaker 2: here in Louisville yesterday as Brett Hankinson was set to
Speaker 2: be sentenced, and that that is exactly what happened, But
Speaker 2: before the final decision from the judge was handed down,
Speaker 2: a hectic, hectic scene in downtown Louisville as four people
Speaker 2: ended up ended up being arrested. And I guess that's
Speaker 2: not really a surprise considering what the Breonna Taylor situation
Speaker 2: has has resulted in just with just tension here in Louisville.
Speaker 2: But there were four people, including Breonna Taylor's aunt, Bionca Austin,
Speaker 2: who were arrested. The charges from the four different individuals.
Speaker 2: Austin was charged with disorderly conduct and obstructing a highway,
Speaker 2: and then there were a few others arrested for this
Speaker 2: other disorderly contact, highway obstruction, harassment and theft by and
Speaker 2: lawful taking. So the visual of the individual jumping on
Speaker 2: the Louisville water truck that was that was something. I mean,
Speaker 2: that's the kind of clip that certainly will get your attention,
Speaker 2: and it's gone viral everywhere, and that's just what you
Speaker 2: probably should expect when it comes to those kind of things.
Speaker 2: But I will say the Louisville Water Company employee and
Speaker 2: you can really find what's the that's the I was
Speaker 2: gonna say the beauty of the Internet. I'm not sure
Speaker 2: if it's beauty. I think it's maybe a problem with
Speaker 2: society to an extent. But you can find anything you
Speaker 2: want on the Internet, meaning you can if you want
Speaker 2: to believe something, you will be able to find something
Speaker 2: to help you support yourself believing what you want to believe.
Speaker 2: So I'm sure you can find folks that are very
Speaker 2: upset with the decision for both reasons. Maybe some people
Speaker 2: think Hankerson shouldn't have any prison time, Maybe some people
Speaker 2: think that he should be, you know, in jail for life.
Speaker 2: So again you'll you'll find a very mixed bag of
Speaker 2: what people think. But I will say there were only
Speaker 2: a few that I saw reacting to the video of
Speaker 2: the person jumping on the Louisville Water Company truck that
Speaker 2: thought the Louisville Water Company employee was at fault. And
Speaker 2: you know, if you play in this, if you mean, look,
Speaker 2: I don't want to cross the line here, but I'm
Speaker 2: not really sure what doing that was was set to
Speaker 2: accomplish yesterday.
Speaker 1: But that's just me.
Speaker 2: However, most folks I saw reacting to it were thinking, like,
Speaker 2: not run the person over. I mean, some people certainly
Speaker 2: did say that, But the one person I saw that
Speaker 2: was acting as if, you know, maybe this Louisville Water
Speaker 2: Company employee should be the one going to jail, because
Speaker 2: here they are just doing their jobs, driving on a street,
Speaker 2: which they're supposed to be able to do, and there's
Speaker 2: somebody in their way that then jumps on their vehicle,
Speaker 2: and I didn't have any expectation as far as any
Speaker 2: response from the Louisville Water Company. However, there was a
Speaker 2: there was a statement that was released saying that they
Speaker 2: confirmed their employee was caught in the protest but was
Speaker 2: safely able to exit the area. Which look, think about
Speaker 2: yourself in that situation in a vehicle. I mean, you
Speaker 2: could be wanting to get the hell out of there
Speaker 2: for a lot of reasons, understandably so, but one may
Speaker 2: be because you feel like you're in a dangerous situation.
Speaker 2: You don't know, I mean, you don't know what these
Speaker 2: people are gonna do. So anyhow, tensions very very high
Speaker 2: before the sentencing came down, and in the end the
Speaker 2: sentence was thirty three months in federal prison with three
Speaker 2: years supervisor release and a one hundred dollars fine. So
Speaker 2: not going to be able to work in law enforcement
Speaker 2: ever again or own a gun, and he's going to
Speaker 2: voluntarily voluntarily surrender at a later date as he's not
Speaker 2: considered a flight flight risk. However, the DJ recommended just
Speaker 2: one day in prison, which that led to some real
Speaker 2: sharp criticism from Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings, who called it
Speaker 2: troubling and a failure to assign accountability. She also denied
Speaker 2: the motion that was put in place yesterday for a
Speaker 2: new trial for Hankerson, as she called the defense disjointed
Speaker 2: based off of I guess just scrambling there at the
Speaker 2: last minute. But in the end, that was the sentence
Speaker 2: and thirty three months in federal prison. I could be wrong.
Speaker 2: Maybe some people predicted this exactly the way it played out,
Speaker 2: but I felt as if, regardless of what you wanted
Speaker 2: or what you may be hoped for, I don't think
Speaker 2: many had a real feel for what was going to
Speaker 2: play out. And in the end, thirty three months in
Speaker 2: federal prison for Brett Hankerson. All right, we've got another
Speaker 2: check of traffic and whether Bobby Ellis will get us
Speaker 2: caught up on how the roadways are looking this morning.
Speaker 2: We'll get another check of Matt Melissovitch's forecast, and of
Speaker 2: course we've got our first sports update coming up here
Speaker 2: with Scott, so stick around. It is Kentucky in its
Speaker 2: morning News with Coffee and Company, Nick Coffee, that's me,
Speaker 2: and this is News Radio eight forty whas. Thank you
Speaker 2: very much, John Shannon. It is five thirty five here
Speaker 2: Kentucky in it's morning news on News Radio Whas Coffee
Speaker 2: and Company. I'm Nick Coffee and we've got the full
Speaker 2: crew in house today. You just heard John Shannon with
Speaker 2: a phenomenal newscast. Well done, sir. Also Scott Fitzgerald, he'll
Speaker 2: be back with sports coming up in about twenty minutes.
Speaker 2: And mister Radio Rick Ryder alongside today filling in for
Speaker 2: John Alden, who is who's out on vacation enjoying his
Speaker 2: well deserved time off. But Rick, I didn't want to
Speaker 2: make you sound like an old man today. But there's
Speaker 2: a reason why I ask you when you got started
Speaker 2: in the radio business. I wanted to go back in
Speaker 2: time a little bit with you, Rick, to when that
Speaker 2: was that you you got your first your first start,
Speaker 2: you were cutting your teeth, as they say in the business.
Speaker 2: Do you want to know what the most popular car
Speaker 2: was in the fall of nineteen seventy Take a guess
Speaker 2: close Chevy Chevelle. And then I'm not familiar with this,
Speaker 2: but the Ford to Reno. Do you know what the
Speaker 2: Ford Torino is? What about the biggest movie you can?
Speaker 1: You take a guess. We're going back many years airport.
Speaker 1: Do you remember that one? Oh a date or two? Huh?
Speaker 1: Look at you? How about that?
Speaker 2: So you clearly have some good memories from that era
Speaker 2: in nineteen seventy. And then, of course the biggest band
Speaker 2: was the Beatles, right, I mean they had just broke up,
Speaker 2: it says here is.
Speaker 1: That true around that time?
Speaker 4: Yep?
Speaker 1: You are you have.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm reading this from research. You remember it
Speaker 2: like it was yesterday, because you're right, they broke up
Speaker 2: in April of nineteen seventy. But the solo projects started
Speaker 2: heating up after that. So we'll continue to look back
Speaker 2: at that time just because I think it's fun. It's
Speaker 2: fun to do that. And again, I'm a nerd for
Speaker 2: radio before I was ever able to not only experience
Speaker 2: it as somebody who has an opportunity on air, but
Speaker 2: like before I existed, and Rick can go back in time,
Speaker 2: and I do that with Terry Miners and all the
Speaker 2: other veterans in the industry. So I'm a nerd for it.
Speaker 2: In fact, I was told hopefully he can if he's listening.
Speaker 2: This may be the reminder, but my boss, Gus Allen,
Speaker 2: he told me he has some older shows of this.
Speaker 2: It was Kentucky and his Morning News when Wayne Perky
Speaker 2: was hosting I think twenty five thirty years ago. He
Speaker 2: has a couple of different shows that took place at
Speaker 2: that time, and I would love to go back and
Speaker 2: listen to that. Just it's almost like a time machine, right,
Speaker 2: good stuff. So anyhow, again, the big news today, as
Speaker 2: you could expect, is the sentencing for Brett Hankinson and
Speaker 2: it's the second time here. And somebody actually had asked
Speaker 2: me what story I was referencing, but I mentioned to
Speaker 2: start the show today that this is the second time
Speaker 2: that when you check the national headlines before you start
Speaker 2: a news talk show, you see a national headline that
Speaker 2: is of local interest here. And of course the Brett
Speaker 2: Hagison situation is the one today, but the previous one
Speaker 2: was the shooting that took place in Lexington where of
Speaker 2: course the officer was shot at and then the suspect
Speaker 2: then carjacked somebody and then drove to that church and
Speaker 2: obviously killed two people. So again, awful stories, but certainly
Speaker 2: news that is needed to be discussed. And again, if
Speaker 2: you are I don't. I feel like it's one of
Speaker 2: those things where you'd have to be living under a
Speaker 2: rock to not know what the actual sentence was at
Speaker 2: this point for Brett Hankinson, but he was the DJ
Speaker 2: recommended just one day, which was almost hilarious to think about.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know if that's because you can't
Speaker 2: recommend no punishment.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the case.
Speaker 2: But anyhow, the judge did not follow along with what
Speaker 2: the recommended sentence was because the judge decided to sentence
Speaker 2: him to thirty three months in federal prison. And one
Speaker 2: of the things that I have that I've really in
Speaker 2: the last as we got closer to this date yesterday
Speaker 2: where he was going to be sentenced, really, I guess
Speaker 2: since finding out last week that the DJ recommended what
Speaker 2: they recommended, it's really hard for people to do. And
Speaker 2: I understand why. And in no way am I insinuating
Speaker 2: that the context of the overall situation doesn't matter, because
Speaker 2: it does. That's why this became the national story that
Speaker 2: it is. But if you just look at Hankerson firing
Speaker 2: ten rounds blindly through a covered sliding glass door and
Speaker 2: a bedroom window from outside of her apartment, I mean,
Speaker 2: even even though the first shot did come from Kenneth Walker,
Speaker 2: her boyfriend, who claims to be under the impression at
Speaker 2: that time that they.
Speaker 1: Were being robbed.
Speaker 2: Either way, if you just firing ten rounds blindly, you
Speaker 2: need to be held accountable for doing that, because yes,
Speaker 2: you are in the line of fire and it's a
Speaker 2: it's a hectic situation, but it also is reckless. So again,
Speaker 2: I don't want to act like the context of the
Speaker 2: overall situation doesn't matter. But when you consider, like for
Speaker 2: those who think this guy should have been punished at all,
Speaker 2: take away the entire you know, just just look at
Speaker 2: that specific action, firing ten rounds blindly. It wouldn't be
Speaker 2: a shock that a law enforcement officer would be held
Speaker 2: accountable with charges and in a sentencing with time in prison,
Speaker 2: because you can't do that. I mean, I think if
Speaker 2: you look at it that way, you won't be surprised
Speaker 2: that he was in fact sentenced. And again some people
Speaker 2: think he should be sentenced much more severely than he was.
Speaker 2: But if you want to and we'll let we'll play
Speaker 2: some of these shortly, I promise you. But if you
Speaker 2: want to share your thoughts, you can. We've got the
Speaker 2: talkback feature available for you on the out radio app.
Speaker 2: Just pop it open, click that microphone button once you're
Speaker 2: listening to eight forty whs and you'll be able to
Speaker 2: share whatever it is.
Speaker 1: That you want.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get an update to look at the
Speaker 2: traffic out there from Bobby Ellis. We'll get a look
Speaker 2: at Matt Melosovitch's forecast. We've got Rory O'Neil coming up
Speaker 2: here at five forty five, so stick around right here
Speaker 2: on news radio eight forty whs.
Speaker 1: All right, it.
Speaker 2: Is five forty seven here a Kentucky INA's Morning News
Speaker 2: Coffee and Company Nick Coffee.
Speaker 1: That's me. He's Roy O'Neil of NBC News.
Speaker 4: Rory.
Speaker 2: We've got b prices, they're soaring. Gas prices aren't though.
Speaker 2: Gas prices are pretty solid right now. Comparatively speaking, when
Speaker 2: it comes to the housing market, nobody wants to sell
Speaker 2: a house.
Speaker 1: Not many you're buying. What can you tell us about
Speaker 1: how this.
Speaker 2: Current economic situation is affecting us Americans here?
Speaker 4: Yeah, a few different things all happening at the same time.
Speaker 4: As you mentioned. For gas prices, yeah, they're not crazy
Speaker 4: right now. The national average is about three thirteen. In
Speaker 4: Kentucky it's about two eighty nine a gallon on average,
Speaker 4: and the prices are pretty much down from where they
Speaker 4: were a year ago by about three cents, so pretty flat.
Speaker 4: And this according to Gas Buddy, this week is the
Speaker 4: peak demand week of the year. Real about nine point
Speaker 4: three million barrels of gas consumed each day this week.
Speaker 4: So even though this is the week of peak demand,
Speaker 4: peak prices tend to happen in the spring at the
Speaker 4: time when the refineries have to change over their technology
Speaker 4: for the summer fuel formula. So we get peak demand
Speaker 4: this week, but peak prices tend to be in the spring.
Speaker 4: And when it comes to beef prices, oh boy, beef
Speaker 4: is the new egg apparently the way the prices have
Speaker 4: been going up, I think up about ten percent since
Speaker 4: the beginning of the year, especially when you look at
Speaker 4: ground beef and steak prices. But demand remains strong. And
Speaker 4: that's one of the side effects of having a pretty
Speaker 4: strong economy is that beef prices tend to go up
Speaker 4: because there's higher demand for beef when Americans are doing well.
Speaker 2: When it comes to the housing market, is can you
Speaker 2: give as any sign of light at the end of
Speaker 2: the tunnel here? Because I feel like if you're a
Speaker 2: young person kind of starting your professional career. Fresh out
Speaker 2: of college, you've always felt like, Yeah, I don't want
Speaker 2: to rent an apartment. I want to invest. I want
Speaker 2: to own my home. It seems to be very, very
Speaker 2: difficult and not appealing to do, given the current situation
Speaker 2: with the rates and whatnot.
Speaker 4: Well, right, that's the American dream, right, owning your own home.
Speaker 4: By the way, before we start this, I saw I
Speaker 4: got some video feed whatever. It was a news story
Speaker 4: from nineteen eighty one when the mortgage rate the mortgage
Speaker 4: rate hit twenty percent. Wow, so right now we're all
Speaker 4: clamoring about, oh, no, how we're going to Well, we're
Speaker 4: actually much more in the average territory. We got spoiled
Speaker 4: for more than a decade.
Speaker 1: And that I'm glad you brought that up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, those rates that were between two and four percent,
Speaker 4: that was free money. We shouldn't have been going on
Speaker 4: that train for that long. But that's late to the game. Powell,
Speaker 4: as the President would say. But yeah, so we're spoiled
Speaker 4: with those low, low rates, and that's the lock in
Speaker 4: effect that we're seeing. People don't want to give up
Speaker 4: that sweet three percent rate they got ten years ago,
Speaker 4: even though they may want to upgrade their house when
Speaker 4: you run the numbers with the higher rates, you're like whoa,
Speaker 4: And then there isn't as much inventory out there. Report
Speaker 4: from Redfin yesterday found that new listings fell three percent
Speaker 4: in June, the lowest level since October of twenty three.
Speaker 4: And we're seeing more and more buyers on the sidelines
Speaker 4: optimistic that maybe we'll see some rate cuts later this year.
Speaker 4: So that means a lot of buyers just aren't sealing
Speaker 4: the deal because they're hoping the rates come down. Of course,
Speaker 4: the advice will be, by the way, if you hate
Speaker 4: the rate now like close your eyes, grin Barrett, sign it,
Speaker 4: lock it in, and then REFI if these rates come
Speaker 4: back down again.
Speaker 2: Rory on Naleve, NBC News is our guest, You're our news,
Speaker 2: Rady eight forty whas last question for you, Rory. President
Speaker 2: Trump has said that he will attempt to keep the
Speaker 2: Washington Commanders from having their new stadium put together if
Speaker 2: they don't go back to being the Washington Redskins. I
Speaker 2: had the same question that a lot of people had.
Speaker 1: Can he do that?
Speaker 4: And probably not, but he's trust I'm talking about it
Speaker 4: on X right. Yeah, so it's and he certainly has
Speaker 4: the power of the pulpit or the microphone when it
Speaker 4: comes to being able to get a message out there.
Speaker 4: But it sounds like the White House is just trying
Speaker 4: to change subjects here. You know, notice we haven't said
Speaker 4: the word Epstein and the six minutes we've been talking, I.
Speaker 1: Think you're onto something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he wants to have the both the Guardians and
Speaker 4: the Commanders changed their names back.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I wouldn't be shocked if it's just the distraction.
Speaker 1: But that's just me. Rory as always appreciate the time.
Speaker 1: You're the best.
Speaker 2: We will talk to you soon, my friend. That's wherey O'Neil.
Speaker 2: NBC News good stuff. All right, we've got another update
Speaker 2: of trafficking weather coming your way. Bobby Ellis will get
Speaker 2: a square away as far as how the roadways are
Speaker 2: looking this morning. We'll get the latest forecast from at
Speaker 2: Melosovich right here on News Radio eight forty whas I
Speaker 2: don't know
