WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:03.200 Good morning Kentucky. Aah, welcome in. It is Kentucky Anda's 2 00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:05.759 Morning News with Coffee and Company here on News Radio 3 00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:10.800 eight forty whas a Tuesday, August the twelfth, and we've 4 00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:13.480 got the full team here once again, myself, Nick Coffee Scuff, 5 00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:16.640 It's Gerald, John Alden and of course John Shannon and 6 00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:20.800 I think fellas this was the closest I've pushed it 7 00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:23.920 as far as arrival time. Were you worried about me, 8 00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:24.800 I would have been worried. 9 00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:25.879 I gave you a call. 10 00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:29.480 Yeah that's right. Which it was five o'clock on the 11 00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:32.439 dot when I pulled in and I hadn't heard from 12 00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:34.920 you guys, and I thought, okay, they trust me. And 13 00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:36.759 then by the time I made my way in, I 14 00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:39.039 got the phone call. Because yeah, that was pushing it close. 15 00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:42.560 And good thing is with this you can usually prepare 16 00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:45.520 night before and there's not a ton that you need 17 00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:47.759 you're going to be waking up to, right, So I 18 00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:49.359 did a lot of that. Today's first day of school 19 00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:51.799 for both kids, so I set up some things in 20 00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:53.039 the house to kind of I'm not gonna be able 21 00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:54.560 to be there with them to start school. And it's 22 00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:57.600 my son's first day of kindergarten. So I just set 23 00:00:57.640 --> 00:00:59.159 some stuff up to kind of you know, if they 24 00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:03.159 remember the whole process of getting up, starting the day, 25 00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:05.519 going to school for the first time, there'll be something 26 00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:08.280 maybe they remember of that experience that ties to me 27 00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:10.879 despite me not being there. That makes sense, that's a 28 00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:11.359 great point. 29 00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:14.239 In fact, I texted my daughter this morning because I'm 30 00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:15.920 on the flip side of that now it's her first 31 00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:16.439 day of school. 32 00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:19.239 Yes, she's a teacher, and so I tended same with 33 00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:21.280 John's wife exactly. 34 00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:22.760 So I'm right along the same mindset you are. A 35 00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:24.680 texted my daughter, so she'll get it when she wakes up. 36 00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:27.200 I just tell her, you know, congratulations, we're prior to you. 37 00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:29.040 You're right where you need to be, that kind of thing. 38 00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:30.799 And it's a big day for folks. 39 00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:36.640 Do you all remember the first day of school when 40 00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:39.599 you were starting rather it be kindergarten, first grade? I mean, 41 00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:43.159 oh yeah, I feel like I do, But I don't know. 42 00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:45.680 There's a lot of memories I have that I start 43 00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:47.920 to as I get older, wondered do I really remember 44 00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:50.040 that or if I created a memory based off of 45 00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:52.599 things I've been told for so many years that's valid. 46 00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:55.280 I think the thing that sticks out to me is 47 00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:57.400 one the smell of the new pencil case, because we 48 00:01:57.439 --> 00:01:59.680 always had those highlight texts Rubbert pencil cases. 49 00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:02.799 The smell of your lunchbox to right, smells for some 50 00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:03.640 reasons stick. 51 00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:06.760 Yeah, and we had we had those metal lunch boxes, 52 00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:09.639 and it would always smell obnoxiously some sort of mixture 53 00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:11.639 of peanut butter and jelly, sandwich and banana by the 54 00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:14.439 time you got to lunch. And I mean, it's just 55 00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:17.000 those little things that come back and the rubber pencil 56 00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:17.879 grips that everybody. 57 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.120 I tell you what, I didn't really think of this 58 00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:23.240 until you mentioned a smell. I remember at my elementary 59 00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:26.159 school because schools starting it the school is as clean 60 00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:27.759 as it's ever going to be on the first day. 61 00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:29.960 And I remember the smell of the bathrooms always had 62 00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:33.439 just a distinct and strong smell of like some kind 63 00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:34.000 of a cleaner. 64 00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:34.879 Yeah, And it's just weird. 65 00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:37.599 How you you you remember those those little things. I 66 00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:39.800 think for me, what stand and this might have been, 67 00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:42.599 this might have been, this might have been first grade, 68 00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:47.560 not kindergarten. But I do remember being scared to death 69 00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:51.919 to know at the time, all right, Mom's leaving me here. Yeah, 70 00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:53.479 and I'm with a lot of people that I don't 71 00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:56.000 really know. I was really shock hit any me. Yeah, 72 00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:58.759 and I just it was sort of a helplessness feeling, right, John, 73 00:02:59.120 --> 00:02:59.919 I mean you were just help. 74 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:02.439 I think I fired my first day of kindergarten, if 75 00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:03.240 I remember right. 76 00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:06.240 I think I was more so scared to cry to 77 00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:08.479 where I was just you know, I think you know, 78 00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:10.719 I was sitting Indian style, you know, lex crossed them 79 00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:12.680 and just kind of like, you know, looking around, like, 80 00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:14.840 oh my gosh, I can't believe I'm all alone by myself, 81 00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:17.080 my mama has left me. And then I don't remember 82 00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:19.199 what it was, but something distracted me, and then I 83 00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:21.039 was kind of good to go. But my son he 84 00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:24.599 starts to get in kindergarten today, and I don't know, 85 00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:27.080 I know for sure, I wasn't as excited as he is. 86 00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:29.560 I mean, he's he would even go to sleep last night. 87 00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:32.120 You think you think today was Christmas? With this guy? 88 00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:35.159 I love it. And he'll learn soon that, you know, 89 00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:37.719 I got to go every day. Something I gotta do 90 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:39.960 every single day, and then he'll probably get tired of it. 91 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:42.080 But he's excited and always. 92 00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:44.879 Was that honeymoon phase. I think back to school, they 93 00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:46.680 were just excited and then all of a sudden, about 94 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:47.599 second third week, you're like. 95 00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:49.599 Okay, this And I think if I try, and I 96 00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:53.120 do this often, I try to find things that I 97 00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:56.479 was able to benefit from without knowing that I benefited 98 00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:58.479 at the time, and now to know that that's not 99 00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:01.479 a thing anymore makes me appreciate it. Whenever I was 100 00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:03.360 really young, of course, but even whenever I was in 101 00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.479 middle school to early high school, we didn't have the 102 00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:09.280 digital platforms to keep up with people. I was excited 103 00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:11.599 to see people I hadn't seen all summer. And now 104 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:13.560 that's just really hard to imagine you don't see any 105 00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:15.479 of your classmates. I mean, maybe it is just depending 106 00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:18.439 upon your lifestyle and what you do, but I remember this, 107 00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:20.879 and I think it's I mean, I think it's still 108 00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:24.120 this way today with teachers. That I know that even 109 00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:26.160 teachers get sort of that honeymoon phase when they get 110 00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:29.199 back to school. They're getting their classroom ready, they're they're 111 00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:31.399 getting prepped to kind of see what students they have, 112 00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:34.519 and that is a reminder that that at the end 113 00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:37.240 of the day, and it's pretty obvious this day and age. 114 00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:39.600 The people who get into education, it's part of its 115 00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:42.120 labor of love. They do, they get something out of 116 00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:44.160 what they do. And man, as I've said many times, 117 00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:47.160 we need more people to do that. So shout out 118 00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:49.240 to your daughter and of course John's wife, because again 119 00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:53.959 we need folks that want to dedicate themselves to having 120 00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:56.399 a career that really matters. And man, it's never mattered 121 00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:57.319 more than now, it seems. 122 00:04:57.399 --> 00:04:59.759 Amen, brother, Amen, And that's they do it because my 123 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.360 are struggling all the time. She's either asking us for 124 00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:04.920 money or helping out when she has to, only when 125 00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:06.279 she has to. But I see the struggles and the 126 00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:08.639 struggles are real for teachers, that's fact. 127 00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:10.879 No doubt about it. So happy back to school day. 128 00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:13.920 If you're in Bullet County, that's where that's where my 129 00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:16.720 family is, also where John's wife is teaching. And of 130 00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:19.319 course I know JCPS is early in so the early 131 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:22.000 stage of school coming back is still in play, and 132 00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:24.680 hopefully it's going smooth for everybody. All Right, it is 133 00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:27.360 five eleven here at Kentucky and His Morning News Coffee 134 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.800 and company right here on news radio eight forty WHS. 135 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:31.600 Let's get an update on traffic and weather. Right here, 136 00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:35.920 right now again on News Radio eight forty whas it 137 00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:38.319 is five point sixteen here at Kentucky ed his morning 138 00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:40.439 news with Coffee and Company on News Radio eight forty 139 00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:44.279 whas Nick Coffee with you, the company man John All 140 00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:47.319 on the alongside, And we've had some big news that I 141 00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:49.560 think was in the works for a few years now, 142 00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:52.600 and that is the big announcement yesterday with the electric vehicles. 143 00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:56.720 That's a two billion dollar bet on Louisville's electric vehicle 144 00:05:56.759 --> 00:05:59.439 future that Ford has made. And Ford, of course has 145 00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:01.879 been a big lawyer in this city for quite some time. 146 00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:06.480 I've mentioned this before, but growing up in the Bullett 147 00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:08.920 County area, there were a lot of kids I grew 148 00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:13.079 up with that their families moved to Louisville at some 149 00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:15.680 point or in the Louisville area. And of course at 150 00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:17.079 the time I was growing up, there were a lot 151 00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:20.079 of people moving to that area and they were moving here, 152 00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:26.399 relocating sometimes from far away because their parents, sometimes both 153 00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:29.240 or maybe just one got a job at Ford. So 154 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:32.040 Ford has been good to Louisville over the years, There's 155 00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:35.240 no doubt about that. And this is take away and 156 00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:37.360 again the big reason it's a story here locally is 157 00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:39.920 because of the obvious impact it's going to have on 158 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:42.800 this city, especially when it comes to jobs. But this 159 00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:45.920 is big for Ford in general, just because it's what 160 00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:50.560 they're calling their biggest change since the Model T and 161 00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:54.519 they're going to be introducing a universal electric vehicle system 162 00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:57.279 and platform that'll be right here in Louisville. It's a 163 00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:01.560 mid size, self sustaining electric pickup and it'll be rolling 164 00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:05.759 out there in twenty twenty seven. So this to me 165 00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:10.040 just still seems I don't know. To me, it still 166 00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:12.519 seems not like and I wouldn't. I'm not the person 167 00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:15.120 who would know if we should be, you know, trusting 168 00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:18.920 the future here with with electric vehicles. I mean, if 169 00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:21.759 you have confidence, I get it. If you have skepticism, 170 00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:24.120 I get it. I'm just saying to me, it just 171 00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:27.800 the thought of buying a vehicle, rather it be a 172 00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:31.800 brand new vehicle or a used vehicle. I just electric 173 00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:34.959 vehicle just does not come to mind for me. And 174 00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:37.439 I don't know if I'm in the minority or I 175 00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:41.079 think I am, But clearly, over the years, electric vehicles 176 00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:44.519 become more and more popular, But to see four deciding 177 00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:46.439 to roll one out, it just tells us that this 178 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:52.000 is the future, so designed for speed and affordability and 179 00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:55.160 parts parts are reduced by twenty percent, assembly up to 180 00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:58.240 forty percent faster than what they've typically done over the years, 181 00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:00.879 and really just a huge cost cod for buyers, as 182 00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:04.639 these new vehicles will start at thirty thousand dollars, so 183 00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:07.639 again it's a two billion dollar investment and it's going 184 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:12.519 to secure twenty two hundred full time jobs. So certainly 185 00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:15.240 a big deal here for this city. John, are you 186 00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:19.839 interested in electric vehicles? You've trusted that old, trustworthy Toyota 187 00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:21.879 City Camra, right, Yeah, it's. 188 00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:23.920 Only a couple of years away from being classic, which 189 00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:25.800 means I wanted to pay taxes on it anymore? 190 00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:26.600 Is it really? 191 00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:29.480 That's right? Yeah, once it's twenty five years old, isn't 192 00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:30.000 that wild? 193 00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:33.799 It's awesome and it's so you because you're such an 194 00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:34.639 old soul. Right. 195 00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:36.440 I nearly got rid of it over the summer too, 196 00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:38.519 but in order to try to save some money now 197 00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:40.000 with the new baby, I was like, you know what 198 00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:42.200 this thing's doing, fine, we can get a few more 199 00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:42.799 years out of it. 200 00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:45.799 Well, you get to a certain point in the life 201 00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:48.720 of the of that car to where you want to 202 00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:50.639 see how long it can go, right, Yeah, I mean 203 00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:54.679 I haven't had that happen just yet. In fact, I 204 00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:59.200 did with some vehicle that I have now is paid off, 205 00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:03.159 and that alone makes me content and just not doing 206 00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:08.039 anything until I have to. However, you know, these kind 207 00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:10.200 of decisions oftentimes are made by my wife more so 208 00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:11.480 than me as far as what we do when it 209 00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:15.200 comes to vehicles. But yeah, that camera And by the way, 210 00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:17.559 I don't know a ton about cars. I'm not a 211 00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:19.799 big car guy. But what year is that? 212 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:21.000 Two thousand and two? 213 00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:22.919 I would never believe that to me. 214 00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:23.879 I don't know. I don't know. 215 00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:26.639 If it's just that body style of a Toyota Camry. 216 00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:28.320 Well, there's so many of them still out on the 217 00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:28.759 roads of it. 218 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:31.480 Yes, yeah, it's because just I guess the longevity of 219 00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:34.240 those of those vehicles. But uh yeah, I mean you 220 00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:36.440 got to keep it now. I mean, I want to 221 00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:40.399 see you with that classic uh as the license play 222 00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:44.320 right where? Because that visual would really throw me off. 223 00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:45.639 And I'll tell you what it would make me feel. 224 00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:48.720 Damn old if the longest person one of those things. 225 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:51.320 Absolutely like that could be like a like that could 226 00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:53.679 be like a national story now was it your first 227 00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:55.320 car or sex second car? So what I thought, what 228 00:09:55.360 --> 00:09:55.879 was your first car? 229 00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:59.039 In a Suzu Rodeo that they nearly blew up on me? 230 00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:01.320 Those are those? Are? You don't see many of those around? 231 00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:02.159 I don't think. 232 00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:05.480 Yeah. So again, a big news yesterday here in Louisville, 233 00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:08.159 and it led to Andy Basher's showing up and of 234 00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:10.200 course talking about how big it is for this city 235 00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:12.799 and of course the state Pat Kelsey was on hand 236 00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:15.240 there and talked about how big big the news is 237 00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:16.879 for the city of Louisville. Good to see him out 238 00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:19.919 and shaking hands and just and talking with a lot 239 00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:21.639 of Louisville fans that of course work it for it. 240 00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:27.200 And speaking of Andy b. Sheheer yesterday Terry Miners had 241 00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:29.120 a good conversation with a guest that will play some 242 00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:32.360 of that sound because when it comes to the issue 243 00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:38.039 we have here with violence in Louisville that involves whether 244 00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:41.600 it be victim or perpetrator, being a child, the juvenile, 245 00:10:42.679 --> 00:10:46.159 there's something that clearly needs someone's got to give and 246 00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:48.720 their discussion. I kind of want to pick up where 247 00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:50.759 they left off yesterday, so we'll do that as we 248 00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:52.799 roll along here. It is Kentucky and this morning News 249 00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.080 with Coffee and Company on news Radio eight forty whas. 250 00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:00.399 Thank you very much, mister Shannon. It is Kentucky Morning 251 00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:02.360 News with Coffee and Company here on news Radio eight 252 00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:06.679 forty whas, Nick, Coffee with you. And yesterday a big, 253 00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:09.600 big topic of conversation not only on this show, but 254 00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:12.120 I'm sure throughout the day here at news Radio eight 255 00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:16.480 forty whas was the situation from Friday where a man 256 00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:20.320 who was sentenced to fourteen years in prison after again 257 00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:24.440 proving he's consistent he's a violent criminal, he was let 258 00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:27.480 out on shot probation and continue to be a violent criminal. 259 00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:28.840 We don't need to get into the details. I think 260 00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:33.559 everybody knows just about the horrific situation as armand Langford was. 261 00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:39.759 Home invasion and kidnapping, stabbing, bank robbery. Quite the day 262 00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:42.639 for him, and of course it's left a family I'm 263 00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:47.080 sure with an experience that they'll never get over or 264 00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:49.480 I should say they'll never forget. That's for certain. As 265 00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:51.960 far as getting over it, I hope that they do. 266 00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:54.799 But just an awful thing, and for me is what 267 00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:56.960 I hit on a lot was just it was avoidable. 268 00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:59.639 This was someone that didn't need to be available to 269 00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:01.559 do the kind of crimes. He should have been in 270 00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:05.080 prison where he was sentenced to fourteen years. So yesterday 271 00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:10.519 Terry Miners had a guest on and I thought, for 272 00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:14.960 the most part that Anthony Pageantini was was pretty spot 273 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:18.360 on when it comes to just the issue with with 274 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:22.519 juvenile crime. And we'll get into a little bit of 275 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:24.279 it later on because I've got some sound I want 276 00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:26.720 to share with you guys. But there needs to be 277 00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:32.279 a juvenile detention center, and it needs to be I 278 00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:37.200 mean that to me, that that is the best option 279 00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:41.799 as far as just if these if these children are 280 00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:45.919 going to continue to be in the streets and committing 281 00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:50.279 violent crime, living a lifestyle that some of them are living, 282 00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:53.240 including when you have the first day of school last Thursday, 283 00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:55.360 a kid shows up and fires off a bunch of shots. 284 00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:58.440 I mean these that that's just that that's happening. And 285 00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:02.240 clearly there are many reasons as to why this is happening, because, 286 00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:05.279 as I think a lot of people agree, it starts 287 00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:09.480 at home. I mean these whoever's respond actually those who 288 00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:11.919 are supposed to be responsible for these children clearly are 289 00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:15.399 not and they're not doing their part. And even if 290 00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:18.279 you're a great parent and you can't control your kid 291 00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:23.039 who's a violent criminal that is wrecking havoc on the city, 292 00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:28.200 they need to be in jail despite being children, if 293 00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:30.879 they can't be controlled by parents or parents are non 294 00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:34.759 existent and they are somehow ending up I guess, kind 295 00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:38.279 of under the wing of gang members and being you know, 296 00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:42.440 given a purpose by doing some work and you know, 297 00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:46.279 living that lifestyle. And I mean it's like these gangs 298 00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:48.120 are probably getting some free labor from these kids who 299 00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:51.080 nobody else is watching over, and yet they're they're falling 300 00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:54.279 in line and wanting to be like gang members. Maybe 301 00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:57.000 they already are gang members. I don't know. But if 302 00:13:57.039 --> 00:14:01.240 nobody can control them and and they just keep ending 303 00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:05.519 up out in the streets, making Louisville a more violent city, 304 00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:08.159 they need to be in jail or the city will 305 00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:12.159 continue to get worse when it comes to violent crime. 306 00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:16.879 I mean, so again, I'll let you hear it from 307 00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:24.240 from himself, because again I thought Pageantini was pretty spot 308 00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:26.600 on as far as the state Basher specifically is who 309 00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:29.600 he called out and saying that they got to stop 310 00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:32.200 dragging their feet essentially on this because it's needed, And 311 00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:34.559 it's true, I know you don't like the idea. Nobody 312 00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:39.399 likes the idea of a child being incarcerated, But what 313 00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:42.519 is the other option if in fact nobody is I mean, 314 00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:46.399 it makes no sense to just do what we're doing 315 00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:48.879 right now, right, And it does sound like the city 316 00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:52.840 itself is all for this. It just you know, comes 317 00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:55.799 down to the need. They need approval from the state, 318 00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:58.759 or the state has to initiate the process in some way. 319 00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:01.720 So I'll let you hear some of that couple of 320 00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:05.320 different clips from that interview that Terry Miners had yesterday afternoon. 321 00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:09.080 All right, So something else I want to get into 322 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:11.440 here before too long. We got Roy and' neil coming 323 00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:13.039 your way on the other side, so stick around for that. 324 00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:16.399 But I did some digging yesterday. I was just fascinated 325 00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:20.440 to learn that AOL dial up Internet still existed, because yesterday, 326 00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:22.399 I guess, was the last day of it. You could 327 00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:24.679 have told me it ended ten years ago and I 328 00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:27.600 would have believed you. But it was interesting to me 329 00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:32.879 to see who was still using it and why. And 330 00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:34.320 we'll get to that later on. It is Kentucky and 331 00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:36.240 it's Morning News with coffee and company here on News 332 00:15:36.360 --> 00:15:40.879 Radio eight forty whas it is Kentucky and it's morning 333 00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:44.519 news here on a Tuesday morning, News Radio eight forty 334 00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:48.039 whas Nick Coffee with you. We now bring in Rory 335 00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:52.080 O'Neil of NBC News. Rory tell us how the state 336 00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:54.879 of Kentucky stacks up when it comes to our latest 337 00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:57.200 study that tells us which states here in the United 338 00:15:57.240 --> 00:15:59.679 States are the best to live in. Shoot hit hit 339 00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:01.759 us with the news. I'm gonna assume I'm gonna I'm 340 00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:03.279 gonna assume the worst, hope for the best. 341 00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:07.679 Well, it's not the worst, but clearly not the best either. 342 00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:11.759 According to this wallet hub survey, they rank Kentucky thirty 343 00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:15.759 seventh out of the fifty states. Again, this is a 344 00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:20.600 survey that took takes a look at affordability, the economy, education, 345 00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:25.759 healthcare access, quality of life, and safety as well. So 346 00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:28.919 that's they put it together and that's where Kentucky came in. Now, 347 00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:31.879 Kentucky didn't come in number ten on the list specifically 348 00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:35.639 in affordability, but then forty ninth, near the bottom of 349 00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:38.200 the barrel when it comes to the economy of the state. 350 00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:42.600 Yeah, that's the affordability I think is due to things 351 00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:46.080 that may be contributing to the state being at thirty 352 00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:49.000 seven out of the fifty. Who are some of the 353 00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:51.759 best and some of the worst. 354 00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:56.600 Some of the top three, it's a mix. The number 355 00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:00.000 three on the list is New Jersey, which scored very 356 00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:02.799 well when it came to public safety and the quality 357 00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:07.960 of life there. Idaho was number two. The economy rank 358 00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:10.160 was although we up to number seven on their list 359 00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:14.519 and cutting into number one my Casey casem impersonation. Go 360 00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:19.039 google who that is kids the states of Massachusetts, which 361 00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:23.160 are ranked number one in education and healthcare, at number 362 00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:26.880 nine in their economy, but number forty four affordability. 363 00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:31.319 Did you know that Casey Kaseum did, in fact have 364 00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:33.519 I don't know if he lived here, but he had 365 00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:36.519 he had some some roots in Kentucky. I think he 366 00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:40.319 had property here at some point. So nice you mentioned 367 00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:42.720 Casey Caseum. I'm gonna I'm gonna mention Kentucky having it 368 00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:45.079 not a claim to him, but he liked us enough 369 00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:46.599 to where he at least you know, was here at 370 00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:49.480 some point. But when it comes to this, the states 371 00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:52.960 that are that are the worst. I mean, what from 372 00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:55.519 the study is there's a specific part of their criteria 373 00:17:55.559 --> 00:17:58.400 that clearly can just crush you and and make it 374 00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:00.839 much more difficult for you to not be towards the bottom. 375 00:18:01.559 --> 00:18:03.880 Well, when they take the yeah they have, everything is 376 00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:06.039 all weighted by different things. So when they look at 377 00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:08.880 the economy, for instance, that's twenty points of the score. 378 00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:12.519 Affordability is twenty points of the score. Quality of life 379 00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:14.559 is twenty points. But then when you look into quality 380 00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:17.039 of life, they look at average hours work, So the 381 00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:20.960 average commute time, miles of trails for bicycles and walking, 382 00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:24.359 is it a bike friendly state, quality of roads, performing 383 00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:28.839 arts centers, museums per capita, access to beaches, which would 384 00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:31.200 be tough for number two Idaho, But there you go. 385 00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:34.440 So they put that fall together and compile all those 386 00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:36.960 different data points. States at the bottom of the barrel 387 00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:40.559 and ones you might suspect. Number forty six is Alaska, 388 00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:45.599 number forty seven, Mississippi forty eight, Arkansas, forty nine, Louisiana 389 00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:48.680 and dead last in the survey at number fifty. You 390 00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:51.279 might not expect it, but little Green Men seem to 391 00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:51.599 like it. 392 00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:55.319 New Mexico interesting. Would not have guessed that, but good 393 00:18:55.319 --> 00:18:58.119 to know, all right. So when it comes to food stamps, 394 00:18:58.119 --> 00:19:01.799 they're now it's now called SNAP and this program is 395 00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:05.839 designed to provide nutritious food to those who simply can't 396 00:19:05.839 --> 00:19:09.680 afford to get it. But there's also some things that 397 00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:13.839 don't necessarily fall in line with being considered nutritious or healthy. 398 00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:16.440 Are we going to see some of these items banned 399 00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:18.559 as far as being able to use SNAP benefits to 400 00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:22.960 purchase items that just clearly there's no real health benefit, right, 401 00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:23.480
