WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.600 Good morning, Kentucky, Ina. It is five oh five here 2 00:00:02.640 --> 00:00:05.200 at Kentucky Anda's Morning News on news Radio eight forty. 3 00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:09.320 Whas Nick coffee. That's me. Let's get a roll call. 4 00:00:09.359 --> 00:00:12.679 Scott Fitzgerald in the house. What up? We've got mister 5 00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:15.759 John Olden also produd morning, and we'll have John Shannon 6 00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:18.839 with his first news update coming up around five thirty. 7 00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:20.719 We're learning a lot about each other here. We've known 8 00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:23.199 each other a long time, but obviously now we're we're 9 00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:26.039 still in the early phases of working a show together. 10 00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:29.160 And I knew this already, but it's goot your morning guy. 11 00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:32.840 I am morning big Morning Bobs, Yep, yep, And I 12 00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:34.960 want to let you know that I also believe that 13 00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:37.359 I'm a morning guy. But I'm not at all saying 14 00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:39.280 I'm on your level because I'm not sure many are. 15 00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:40.719 And I mean this in a good way, because this 16 00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:44.280 is it's infectious right, ready to get the day started, 17 00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:48.920 high energy, John. I don't know if you're high. I 18 00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:50.039 don't know if you're a morning guy or not. To 19 00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:52.799 be honest with you, because at times it hasn't necessarily 20 00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:56.840 seemed that way was a morning guy. Okay, so even 21 00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:59.479 before you had a newborn baby that that you know, 22 00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:01.799 obviously up a lot of your time right now. That's 23 00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:04.879 the phase you're in as a new parent, before that 24 00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:07.560 in your previous world, because it is two different worlds 25 00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:10.040 pre parent and when you're a parent, those are the 26 00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:12.159 two worlds. Were you a morning person or no. 27 00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:14.319 I think I was in the sense that I had 28 00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:16.959 a good attitude about it. But I don't like getting up, 29 00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:18.319 you know, at four in the morning. 30 00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:21.680 Yeah, like you, maybe weren't as enthusiastic as some. 31 00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:24.799 No, I don't think until if you meet one Scott Fitzgerald, 32 00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:27.359 I don't think it's possible to match his morning energy. 33 00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:30.159 I love it because it helps me get the energy 34 00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:34.040 flowing as well. And I remember it's going back to 35 00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:37.719 the time I was on in the mornings on seven ninety. 36 00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:40.400 I mean, I feel bad calling it mornings because it 37 00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:43.079 started at seven and I thought, oh wow, man, it's 38 00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:45.640 going to be tough for me, real adjustment. And now 39 00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:48.799 whenever it hit seven o'clock we're halfway through the show. 40 00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:50.840 So this is actually I mean, this is more so 41 00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:54.680 late night early morning than anything else. But I remember 42 00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:58.079 really liking being on the air to get people rolling 43 00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:00.640 you know to get the day started and bring some energy. 44 00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:03.239 But I remember some saying, Okay, I need at least 45 00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:05.879 a little bit of coffee before I get you, because 46 00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:08.240 I'm not ready yet. There are people that need a 47 00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:11.039 little bit of their own time before they can really 48 00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:14.360 handle somebody that's enthusiastic in the morning. And I say 49 00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.879 this knowing it because I live with one. My wife 50 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.960 not a big morning person. She's good if I'm zippity 51 00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:23.520 dooo doo all ready to start the day high energy, 52 00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:27.240 She's appreciative of it, but she just needs her time. 53 00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.280 So you know, hopefully if you're up with us at 54 00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:33.159 five am, you're ready to start your day too. If not, 55 00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:35.719 I feel like it's our duty to assist in that. Right. 56 00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:37.960 Well, you know who's like your wife, and that is 57 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:41.400 Kentucky Derby winning trainer Bill Mott was. 58 00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:43.400 Not aware now what he's ever made the comparison to 59 00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:44.520 my wife and Bill Mott. 60 00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:47.759 When we run the Backside Derby morning, it was funny. 61 00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:51.159 We were there with Linda who runs the counseling center there. Well, 62 00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:53.879 Bill Mott comes walking in Linda's ruined coffee because you 63 00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:56.520 don't get the coffee and donuts on Derby Day and 64 00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:59.319 oaks Dale like you do throughout. So he came looking 65 00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:01.800 for coffee and he wanders into the office and you 66 00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:04.840 wouldn't know him if you saw him, and he just asked, Linday, 67 00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:06.039 He says, can I have a couple of coffee? While 68 00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:09.000 I saw him there, and instinctively I took the opportunity 69 00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:10.919 to say, hey, can I chat with you on Derby Day? 70 00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:13.599 And he goes, I was You're a proud talk to 71 00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:16.400 you anytime. He says, I'm gonna be straight with you. 72 00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:18.680 I need coffee before I can talk to anybody. And 73 00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:19.800 he's very honest about it. 74 00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:22.360 There are many that have that. It's got to be 75 00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:24.159 a more of a mental thing, right. A coffee does 76 00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:26.080 give you a boost, There's no doubt about it. And 77 00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:29.120 it's a huge step in I think the morning routine 78 00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:32.159 for a lot of people, but it's certainly a mental 79 00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:34.280 because you can just take a sip and I feel 80 00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:36.039 like people are like, all right, I'm ready ye, And 81 00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:37.879 at that point I don't think the coffee's really done much. 82 00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:39.680 But I get it. Everybody's got, you know, it's routine 83 00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:42.560 and consistency. So even if it is more of a 84 00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:45.520 mental thing, I understand, trust me. Yeah, all right, so 85 00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:48.080 we're gonna have a fun morning. At least we are. 86 00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:52.280 I say we, meaning myself, Scott Fitzgerald, John Shannon, John Alden. 87 00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:54.599 Hopefully you guys will have some fun as well, because 88 00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:56.879 we got a lot to get into. There is still, 89 00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:00.759 i suppose, what they call unrest in California. We'll talk 90 00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:02.800 to Rory O'Neill coming up at five forty five get 91 00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:06.840 the latest on the immigration raids in California and now 92 00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:12.360 it's turned to looting this which hate hate to say that, 93 00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:16.040 I'm not surprised, but I'm not surprised. So that'll continue 94 00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:18.959 to be something that we discussed throughout the morning. Also, 95 00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:22.920 Mayor Greenberg did talk yesterday and was asked about the 96 00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:25.879 protests happening here in Louisville at this point still seemed 97 00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:28.240 seems to be very peaceful, which is which is what 98 00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:30.360 you want. But we'll let you guys hear that. And 99 00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:35.959 since the real focus on getting Bargetown Road Highlands that 100 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:40.560 area in check, if you will. We've seen some some 101 00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:44.439 liquor licenses be revoked or places simply be shut down 102 00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:46.399 for not having a liquor license. There's a story from 103 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:48.160 yesterday that I want to that I want to hit 104 00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:49.879 on because it sounds like this may not be the 105 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:52.680 last business here in the next few days to be 106 00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:58.759 reprimanded shut down, whatever penalty is is is needed because 107 00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:02.040 they're not only maybe not only do they maybe not 108 00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:04.920 have a liquor license or it's expired, they're they're serving 109 00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:06.959 alcohol to people that are not of age. So if 110 00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:10.519 you're somebody that's been cutting corners, breaking rules as an 111 00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:13.399 institution that serves alcohol, you might want to make sure 112 00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:16.360 you get things cleaned up because they're looking for you. 113 00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:19.399 Just keep that in mind. Also, I know Scott's going 114 00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:21.279 to have plenty of stuff this morning when it comes 115 00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:25.439 to sports, But Vince Barrow to Louisville, I've got what 116 00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:28.240 if I told you guys, I had seventy seconds of 117 00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:32.720 Kentucky fans melting down, calling in, calling in to KSR, 118 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:35.079 just upset about it. So we'll let you hear some 119 00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:38.480 of that. Also, some big rule changes coming to college basketball, 120 00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:41.560 which is exciting to me. I'm a college basketball nerd. 121 00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:44.879 So let's have a morning, fellas. It's five to eleven. 122 00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:47.879 Your first update of traffic and weather is right here, 123 00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:52.600 right now on News Radio eight forty WHAS five point 124 00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:55.040 fifteen here at Kentucky's Morning News. But Nick Coffee on 125 00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:58.079 news Radio eight forty whas take us with you wherever 126 00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:00.079 you go this morning. You can listen live on the 127 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:04.759 iHeartRadio app. Also listen live at whas dot com. So 128 00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:09.360 here's the uh, here's the latest on the on the 129 00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:12.639 I guess the situation. That's the best way I'm trying 130 00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:15.759 not to to. I mean, calling that riots, is that 131 00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:17.600 out of line? I don't know. I'm sure some people 132 00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:19.680 would be bothered by that and not agree that it 133 00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:22.120 is writing that is going on. Some would call it 134 00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:25.399 peaceful protesting. I think what some people may call it 135 00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:29.079 peaceful protesting may actually be rioting in the eyes of others. 136 00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:32.160 So you really just never know. But unrest. There's unrest 137 00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:37.639 in in California as these protests continue. And now we 138 00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:41.720 have looting that has taken place overnight, looting at stores 139 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:46.319 in La along Broadway, an Adidas store, an Apple store. 140 00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:50.240 I actually saw some footage of the Apple store, and 141 00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:54.759 I don't know why that that that just I can't 142 00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:57.240 watch it like I have to. If the clip is 143 00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:01.399 forty five seconds, I'll get thirty seconds in and get 144 00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:03.959 the gist of what is going on, and it's maybe 145 00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:05.399 I'm soft. I don't know what it is, but I 146 00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:07.920 just prefer not to watch that kind of stuff. I mean, 147 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.839 that makes sense. It's weird. It's one of those things 148 00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:12.959 that I can't quite put a finger on why. I 149 00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:14.879 just try to avoid looking at it. It's not as 150 00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:16.800 if I'm watching somebody be hurt, but I guess just 151 00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:20.879 to see something just completely damaged with no regard, no 152 00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:24.560 care at all of the destruction, and of course you 153 00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:28.759 know theft. Yeah, it's wild. So yeah, the Adida store, 154 00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:33.959 apple store, a place called Shoe Palace, different dispensaries, a pharmacy, 155 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:37.680 and a jewelry store building. Some police vehicles were defaced 156 00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:41.600 with graffiti across the ten block radius. So it's not 157 00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:42.879 getting any better. 158 00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:44.120 And I. 159 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:48.120 Don't know if we'll have I mean, we'll talk to 160 00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:50.480 Rory O'Neil, and I'm not sure he can predict the future. 161 00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:52.439 In fact, I'm pretty confident he can't know if it's 162 00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:54.399 to Rory, if anybody could, it would be him. But 163 00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:57.480 as far as where this goes from here, I don't 164 00:07:57.519 --> 00:07:59.720 really know. I mean, like we talked about yesterday, Scott, 165 00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:02.000 these things will run their course, but I kind of 166 00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:03.639 get a sense, and it's just a gut feeling that 167 00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:05.279 it may get a little worse before it gets better. 168 00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:08.040 Sure, and when you see these unfolded, and certainly Los 169 00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:11.279 Angeles is no stranger to riots, they've come aways. What 170 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:13.360 I like when I hear you talk about this is 171 00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:15.800 the fact that it doesn't sound like the rioting is spreading. 172 00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:18.199 It's not spreading to other cities. So the communities sometimes 173 00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:20.920 you'll see these things to this level bingo, and you'll 174 00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:22.759 start to see people, hey, call the action, do this, 175 00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:25.120 do this, do this. So it's pretty much contained to 176 00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:28.680 la which they will. They'll get a handle on it. It 177 00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:30.120 just takes time to get a handle on it. I 178 00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:33.600 did see we had the ice protests yesterday here in Louisville. 179 00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:37.000 Peaceful folks were just marching along, which is great. It's 180 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:38.919 great to see. It's great to see our community come together. 181 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.639 Know Baltimore has had some protests other cities as a 182 00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:43.919 matter of fact, But these things start once you let 183 00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:48.159 that riding genie out of the bottle, is extremely hard 184 00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:51.360 to put it back in until it just dies itself out. 185 00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:54.360 I mean, it's got it. We talked about morning vibes 186 00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:57.159 being infectious. Yeah, and a bad way. I think you 187 00:08:57.200 --> 00:09:00.639 see somebody be the first to really cross a line, 188 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:03.320 then then it's then it's full go for a lot 189 00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:05.240 of people. Which that's to your point, that's where it 190 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:06.720 gets that's where it gets scary. 191 00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:08.639 Where was it Vancouver, I think is where it was 192 00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:10.799 when they had the economic protest. That's how that kind 193 00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:13.759 of started. And because you're thinking economic protests. 194 00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:14.879 And that's really when it gets out that when it 195 00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:18.960 gets almost uncontrollable exactly I mean, and that's why I 196 00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:22.759 think you that's why you would end up needing the 197 00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:28.159 real resources that that that President Trump is is putting 198 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:29.879 in place to keep it from getting to that. So, 199 00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:32.679 as you mentioned here Louisville and Louisville, it's been it's 200 00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:33.279 been peaceful. 201 00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:33.600 Uh. 202 00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:39.159 Mayor Greenberg, he's he's expressed confidence that the city's equipped 203 00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:41.879 to handle it. But he's also in fact, I think 204 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:43.960 he repeated it a couple of times in his comment 205 00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:46.360 yesterday which I'm about to play for you guys, that 206 00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:50.399 says will not we will not tolerate anybody who's doing this, 207 00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:52.639 I guess in a non peaceful way instead of paraphrasing, 208 00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:55.480 I'll just let you guys hear him for for yourself. 209 00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:59.080 I will not tolerate l MPD, will not tolerate damage 210 00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:03.360 to property, we will not tolerate risk and danger to others, 211 00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:07.399 and so that we don't expect to occur here, and 212 00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:11.840 so we will continue to move forward with lmpd's focus. 213 00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:14.559 I'm preventing and responding to violent crime. 214 00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:18.600 So again that'll be a early story. We continue to monitor. 215 00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:22.080 You guys may have missed this overnight, and I mean literally, 216 00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:25.200 it just it happened actually this morning more so than overnight. 217 00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:28.559 But first thing I saw when I woke up and 218 00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:32.320 was sleep walking into the into the kitchen at the 219 00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:34.519 early early morning hours that I now get up, I 220 00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:37.000 popped open my phone in the first tweet, I guess 221 00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:41.279 the first X post I saw was Elon Musk apologizing 222 00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:45.639 for his tweets last week comments via X I should 223 00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:48.799 say about President Trump. So yeah, not often do you 224 00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:52.600 see somebody in that position, somebody of that status, that power, 225 00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:55.639 apologize and say I was wrong. But you know, he 226 00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:58.080 did pick an internet fight with the President of the 227 00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:00.639 United States, somebody that is actually more powerful, and hefit 228 00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:02.960 seems so we'll get to all that when we talk 229 00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.039 with Roy O'Neal coming up at five forty five. Your 230 00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:07.559 next update of traffic and weather is right here, right 231 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:12.240 now on news Radio eight forty whas it is five 232 00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:14.279 thirty five here at Kentucky and this morning News with 233 00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:19.480 Nick Coffee on News Radio eight forty whas. So, last 234 00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:23.600 week we had a bar, I believe a hookah lounge 235 00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:26.120 that was that was shut down because they did not 236 00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:30.159 have a liquor license. And you know, I'm sure anytime 237 00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:32.120 that happens, it's probably going to get some some attention, 238 00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:34.080 meaning it's going to be going to be gonna end 239 00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:36.279 up in the news. But maybe maybe I'm wrong, But 240 00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:39.519 right now it appears that they are cracking down on 241 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:41.960 really just making sure that everybody is playing by the 242 00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:47.039 rules as far as liquor licenses and serving alcohol to 243 00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:50.600 people that are of age. But there's a Louisville bar 244 00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:54.759 in German Town that has been shut down by city officials. 245 00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:57.039 This took place over the weekend due to quote, serious 246 00:11:57.120 --> 00:12:01.840 violations involving underage drinking, over service, and public safety. So 247 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:05.519 Little Metro Alcoholic Beverage said in a news release yesterday 248 00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:09.759 that they have detectives that inspected twenty first in Germantown 249 00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:12.639 that's the name of the of the bar, just after 250 00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:15.960 midnight June eighth, after a pattern of violations, including underage 251 00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:19.080 drinking and the arrest of a severely impaired driver who 252 00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:22.720 had just left the bar. So that's one of those 253 00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:25.559 things that when I go out in a previous world, 254 00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:28.519 I don't go out much at all anymore. Kind of 255 00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:30.559 miss that life. But you know, life changes when you 256 00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:34.279 get older and you have kids. But I rarely I'm 257 00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:37.039 so far removed from being twenty one. I rarely even 258 00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:42.559 think of anybody being idd but you really have to. 259 00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:46.799 It's probably something that after a while you just, I 260 00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:49.440 don't want to say you get lazy, but you just 261 00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:52.639 start to maybe trust your judgment of someone's age a 262 00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:55.759 little bit more than you should. Oh, you get enforcement fatigued. 263 00:12:55.799 --> 00:12:58.919 Yeah, and you're busy, you're not checking ideas every so often, 264 00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:00.919 you more than you should. You're right, and I know 265 00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:03.000 this place real well. Was a shocker to me to 266 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:05.240 find out that that came down down the wire. But 267 00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:08.639 again I applauded the mayor for stepping up there because 268 00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:13.279 I will tell you when my son and I guess 269 00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:16.120 I can admit this that you know that he's dad. 270 00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:19.320 There's places we can buy and we can go out, 271 00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:20.919 and he was telling me where they I'll tell you 272 00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:22.039 out the air where one of them was. 273 00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:24.279 Do you think it's do you think it's more so 274 00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:26.799 just because they're they're loose, or do you think that 275 00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:29.480 they don't like they don't they don't care. 276 00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:31.639 I think it's a combination of both. Yeah, I'll tell 277 00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:33.480 you what I was thinking about this one. But it 278 00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:34.759 was interesting about that tease. 279 00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:37.919 I'm getting that stuff, and. 280 00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:40.840 Now every time I drive by it, I'm like, uh, 281 00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:43.200 you know, you look at it and you go and 282 00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:45.960 he's like, yeah, Dad's legit. And he says everybody knows 283 00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:47.840 about it, nobody tells you, and I never would have 284 00:13:47.879 --> 00:13:51.159 suspected it. So you know, those things happened. So this 285 00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:53.399 didn't surprise me when I heard this news. I mean, 286 00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:56.440 I'm glad the mayor is stepping up and really enforcing 287 00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:58.120 this and cracking down on this. 288 00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:02.679 It has to when you get carded. I mean, I 289 00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:06.759 haven't gotten carted for beer at a restaurant in a 290 00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:09.360 long time, haven't got I mean, I get carted when 291 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:12.039 I in fact yesterday, I went to go pick up. 292 00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:15.480 I went to go my wife needed a specific ingredient 293 00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:19.039 that she did not have when she was preparing dinner. So, 294 00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:20.639 you know, this has kind of become a thing. If 295 00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:23.080 she needs me to run and make a last minute 296 00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:25.879 purchase to help her complete dinner, I'll also throw them, 297 00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:27.519 you know, six pack of beer or something like that. 298 00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:27.919 I do. 299 00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:31.399 So I'll go through the self checkout and they need 300 00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:34.120 my ID, but just to scan it, not to like 301 00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:36.080 actually look at it. I could give them an idea 302 00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:38.399 of my grandmother and they you know, they're not worried 303 00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:41.960 that I'm not twenty one, but when you are, because 304 00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:43.960 I feel like you can sense it. Whenever there's a 305 00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:48.360 lot more attention to iding everyone and I think that, 306 00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:50.279 you know, maybe I'm wrong here, but it makes me 307 00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:53.360 think that they've been reprimanded in some way, or maybe 308 00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:55.399 they've been warned her, maybe they've been in trouble. I mean, 309 00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:58.080 you clearly are going to be held accountable if you 310 00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:00.960 get caught not doing to do diligence and you end 311 00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:04.240 up serving alcohol to people who who are not who 312 00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:06.600 are not of age, especially if there's if there's a 313 00:15:06.679 --> 00:15:08.080 level of it and it's tough to prove this, I 314 00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:10.879 would imagine, but if they're investigating you, they're going to 315 00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:13.799 be able to come to the conclusion if you're just 316 00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:16.759 doing it because you got complacent, or you're doing it 317 00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:18.559 because you have no regard for their rules. 318 00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:20.840 Well, and I understand if someone comes up and they 319 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:22.720 look sixty years old, you don't idea. 320 00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:25.799 Now, I will say, when my daughter, who's of legal. 321 00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:27.720 Age, we'd go running and she'd go out with my 322 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:30.840 son and they would stop at one of the said 323 00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:33.399 there were places that wouldn't even sell my daughter alcohol 324 00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:36.120 because my son was with her and so, and that 325 00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:38.480 was just at random. So that that's an interesting twist. 326 00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:40.919 And that's just somebody doing their job. That's exactly what 327 00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:43.000 it is. What I think is wild is those who 328 00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:46.200 are clearly of age but do get id because of 329 00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:48.679 people doing their job and they get offended by it. 330 00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:49.159 Yeah, I know. 331 00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:51.480 I mean sometimes you can't win, right if you uh, 332 00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:55.480 and this was this was long ago, but I went, 333 00:15:55.639 --> 00:15:57.840 I went to lunch with my mother and I got 334 00:15:57.879 --> 00:16:00.000 a beer and uh, she got a glass of water 335 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:04.559 and and I got carded. She didn't, and she was joking. 336 00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:07.480 My mom and I have a similar sense of humor. 337 00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:09.399 I get it from her and she was like, you're 338 00:16:09.399 --> 00:16:12.320 not gonna card me, And she was clearly joking, but 339 00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:15.000 you could tell the server felt bad, and you know, 340 00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:17.120 we let it. She clearly let them know you were joking. 341 00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:18.879 But you've got people who probably are what, oh, you 342 00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:21.080 don't think I'm you know, you think I'm You think 343 00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:22.600 I'm so old that you don't even need to see 344 00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:25.080 the ID. And then you have people that are in 345 00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:27.960 their fifties. What do you mean this is ridiculous. It's 346 00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:30.399 not that ridiculous to have to get out your ID. Also, 347 00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:32.759 it's people doing their job. You know, they're not they're 348 00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:35.320 not picking on you. It's probably just trying to cover 349 00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:37.279 the rear end, which it makes total sense. 350 00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:39.200 And talk to servers and see what kind of pressure 351 00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:41.480 they're under. I mean they're the ones under the biggest pressure. 352 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:43.320 Absolutely in the front lines, no doubt. 353 00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:46.039 Yeah, when you were a bartender, I mean really, the 354 00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:48.879 whole process of getting a liquor license and knowing who's 355 00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:52.240 going to be serving alcohol using your license as an employee, 356 00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:55.600 I mean, you need to know what you have in 357 00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:57.519 your hands. As far as you know. I don't want 358 00:16:57.559 --> 00:17:00.240 to say power, but obviously if you're not doing what 359 00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:02.519 you're supposed to do, it could be a tragic situation. 360 00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:05.920 That's why it's such a serious issue. So yeah, all right, 361 00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:08.359 we've got Rory O'Neil coming up here in just a 362 00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:10.640 few minutes.

Rory, 367 00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:28.839 the rest, the unrest, i should say, continues, and we 368 00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:33.480 now have looting that has taken place. What does this 369 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:36.039 does this do you expect this to change much as 370 00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:39.039 far as just how those in California not not those 371 00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:41.200 who've been sent to help and assist at keeping this, 372 00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:43.559 I guess as peaceful as possible, But a lot of 373 00:17:43.599 --> 00:17:45.759 looting has taken place a lot of different stores, and 374 00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:47.960 you got to wonder if the community there is now 375 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:51.720 no longer agreeing with Newsom as far as it being 376 00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:53.119 controlled at this point. 377 00:17:54.279 --> 00:17:57.920 Well, they did install the or institute that curfew last 378 00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:00.680 night and arrested I think since this began, they've arrested 379 00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:03.559 nearly four hundred people. That number is probably going to 380 00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:07.000 be higher when it's significantly higher when it's updated this morning. 381 00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:10.240 So it seems that, yes, there was some looting that 382 00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:12.759 we know of that's been identified. The police were asking 383 00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:16.839 people to submit that video. But last night seemed relatively quiet. 384 00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:19.720 Quiet as we speak right now, considering the early hour 385 00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:24.079 in California. But police essentially gave people plenty of time 386 00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:28.799 to stand down because of the curfew that went into 387 00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:31.480 effect for the overnight hours. Many did not and they 388 00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:34.599 were taken into custody at the scene. Haven't heard reports 389 00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:37.000 of looting this morning, but I know it has happened 390 00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:40.279 earlier in the week. Lots of graffiti, lots of damaged 391 00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:45.039 vehicles as well, so there's certainly plenty of damage. But again, 392 00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:47.640 this is all happening in a one square mile area 393 00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:50.400 of Los Angeles, a city that's about five hundred square 394 00:18:50.440 --> 00:18:52.119 miles in all, so. 395 00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:55.200 A lot of the attention is understandably on Los Angeles, 396 00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:58.200 but there are protests going on elsewhere. In fact, we've 397 00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:01.319 had a couple of different days this week where there 398 00:19:01.319 --> 00:19:04.079 have been peaceful protests here in Louisville. Are we hearing 399 00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:06.720 of any other city that's had anything to the level 400 00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:08.680 of what we've seen in Los Angeles. 401 00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:12.640
