WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.000
<v Speaker 1>It is eight oh five here Kentucky, and it's Morning

2
00:00:02.040 --> 00:00:05.400
<v Speaker 1>News with Nick Coffee on News Radio eight forty whas

3
00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:09.720
<v Speaker 1>we've got Mayor Craig Greenberg set to join us at

4
00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:12.119
<v Speaker 1>eight forty five. He'll be joining us via phone out

5
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:15.199
<v Speaker 1>in studio as he is he's in Omaha for the

6
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:17.399
<v Speaker 1>College World series, but he's going to be making announcement

7
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:19.199
<v Speaker 1>sharing some special news that I think if you're a

8
00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:21.280
<v Speaker 1>lois a fan, you want to you want to stick around.

9
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:22.719
<v Speaker 2>And again, I'm.

10
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:25.559
<v Speaker 1>Of the belief that this will be news that fans

11
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:28.719
<v Speaker 1>will be excited to hear, happy to hear. But I

12
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:30.640
<v Speaker 1>could be wrong. I don't think I'm wrong, but we

13
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:34.640
<v Speaker 1>shall see only over only Tom will tell. I don't

14
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:37.039
<v Speaker 1>know if I would say that, okay, I don't know

15
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:39.719
<v Speaker 1>if I would say long overdue, but I would say

16
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:44.320
<v Speaker 1>makes total sense. Yeah, I'm I'm all for it as

17
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:46.960
<v Speaker 1>a Louisville fan myself. But again, we'll let you guys

18
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:49.679
<v Speaker 1>hear what that is. Coming up at about eight forty five.

19
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:51.320
<v Speaker 1>Coming up at eight thirty, we'll be joined by Rory

20
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:57.399
<v Speaker 1>O'Neil to get the latest on the Iran and Israel war.

21
00:00:57.520 --> 00:00:59.479
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's that's essentially what we've got here. And

22
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.840
<v Speaker 1>obviously yesterday Donald Trump ended up leaving early at the

23
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:07.280
<v Speaker 1>at the g seventh summit that was in Alberta, but

24
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:09.959
<v Speaker 1>he flew home early because of what's going on in

25
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.319
<v Speaker 1>the Middle East. That's according to his press secretary. So

26
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:16.519
<v Speaker 1>not only are are we seeing folks monitoring what's going

27
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:20.840
<v Speaker 1>on between those two, but the reaction, if any, from

28
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:23.799
<v Speaker 1>President Trump in the United States. That's what a lot

29
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:26.920
<v Speaker 1>of people are keeping up with. So Rory of NBC

30
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:28.840
<v Speaker 1>News Roy O'Neil, I should say, I mean, I know Rory.

31
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:30.239
<v Speaker 1>I've got him on a first name basis. You hear

32
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:32.920
<v Speaker 1>that name dropped there. Rory O'Neill, the prestigious roy O'Neil

33
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:34.920
<v Speaker 1>of NBC News. He's set to join us coming up

34
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:37.159
<v Speaker 1>at eight thirty. Will also see what he can tell

35
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:40.640
<v Speaker 1>us on the latest. As far as Vance Bolter, that is,

36
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:42.719
<v Speaker 1>the suspect in the shooting that killed the Minnesota state

37
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:45.400
<v Speaker 1>legislator and her husband and wounded two others. He was

38
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:48.359
<v Speaker 1>in court yesterday. He's now facing federal charges. So that's

39
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:51.200
<v Speaker 1>not a real surprise, but it sounds as if there's

40
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:53.239
<v Speaker 1>more details coming out in regards to.

41
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:55.159
<v Speaker 2>A potent.

42
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:56.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we know it sounds like we have a

43
00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:00.640
<v Speaker 1>good idea of what his motives were, but we're now

44
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:03.319
<v Speaker 1>learning more about I guess what he was doing leading

45
00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:05.519
<v Speaker 1>up to this, and maybe what he was doing while

46
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:07.799
<v Speaker 1>he was able to avoid being captured for a couple

47
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:09.919
<v Speaker 1>of days. So again, we'll get the latest on all

48
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:12.840
<v Speaker 1>that with Roordy O'Neil coming your way at eight thirty.

49
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:18.080
<v Speaker 1>Also something we've discussed this morning is the driver of

50
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:21.759
<v Speaker 1>the truck that caught on fire was hanging over the

51
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.319
<v Speaker 1>on ramp of the bridge. I mean, what a scary

52
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:29.280
<v Speaker 1>and crazy visual to see. But this guy, he's alive

53
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.639
<v Speaker 1>and he he never was at any point suffering from

54
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:35.560
<v Speaker 1>any life threatening injuries. But when you jump twenty feet

55
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:40.879
<v Speaker 1>from the cab of your truck, you can have some injuries,

56
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:44.039
<v Speaker 1>and that's what he's got, a broken leg, ankle, and foot,

57
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:46.159
<v Speaker 1>so he's going to have a long road to recovery.

58
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:48.919
<v Speaker 1>And his wife says that he's going to have to

59
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:50.960
<v Speaker 1>have surgery, which will obviously put him out of work.

60
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:54.800
<v Speaker 1>So it sounds like they have His wife went on

61
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:57.840
<v Speaker 1>to say that on the GoFundMe that they launched, that

62
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:01.599
<v Speaker 1>he's the sole provider and I don't know if the insurance.

63
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Maybe he doesn't have health insurance. I would imagine if

64
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:05.960
<v Speaker 1>he is driving a truck for somebody, then then there

65
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:10.919
<v Speaker 1>would be insurance on the vehicle. But obviously that's if

66
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:12.520
<v Speaker 1>you don't have health insurance and you've got those kind

67
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:15.680
<v Speaker 1>of injuries, those kind of those kind of that can

68
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:17.280
<v Speaker 1>add up. That's gonna be really expensive.

69
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:18.039
<v Speaker 2>Well, you were.

70
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:20.319
<v Speaker 3>Playing some audio from one of the truckers that called us,

71
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:23.400
<v Speaker 3>because we, of course were asking are we pushing truckers

72
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:27.319
<v Speaker 3>through school too soon? I would be interested if you

73
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:30.159
<v Speaker 3>have the app, use the talk back feature and let

74
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:34.719
<v Speaker 3>us know why would this guy not have insurance? And

75
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:37.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure there's a legitimate reason for I'm not doing

76
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:39.319
<v Speaker 3>I'm not this isn't a gotcha question.

77
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:40.520
<v Speaker 2>I'd be curious to know.

78
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:42.639
<v Speaker 3>To your point, Nick, because we talked off the air,

79
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:46.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, clearly he would have insurance on the truck.

80
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:49.560
<v Speaker 3>If he were driving, God forbid, he were to hit somebody,

81
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:52.520
<v Speaker 3>he would be covered. But as his wife said in

82
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:56.120
<v Speaker 3>the GoFundMe, they don't have insurance. So if you're a

83
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:58.319
<v Speaker 3>truck driver, are there a lot of truck drivers out

84
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:01.199
<v Speaker 3>there that are driving without insurance now like medical insurance.

85
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:04.599
<v Speaker 3>And that's a question I have for this gentleman.

86
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:07.960
<v Speaker 1>I've probably taken taken for granted that I've always been

87
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:10.719
<v Speaker 1>covered with health and insurance, whether it be from my

88
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:12.960
<v Speaker 1>parents when I was young to when I became an

89
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:16.480
<v Speaker 1>adult and got a job. And you know, not everybody's

90
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:19.519
<v Speaker 1>situation is the same. And if you are an independent contractor,

91
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:22.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, and you're jumping from gig to gig, you know,

92
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.519
<v Speaker 1>as far as your options with insurance, it could change.

93
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:27.079
<v Speaker 1>And I think if that's the case, then you would

94
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:29.160
<v Speaker 1>want to have an independent plan. But they that may

95
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:31.879
<v Speaker 1>not be doable for a lot of people, or you

96
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:33.759
<v Speaker 1>may have just had terrible luck where you were in

97
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:37.199
<v Speaker 1>between policies and whatnot and you just happen to not

98
00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:40.439
<v Speaker 1>be covered. Soyeah, those costs can add up for sure.

99
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:42.800
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, just I'm telling you, the more I see

100
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:46.879
<v Speaker 1>of the social media posts from people who were near

101
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:49.079
<v Speaker 1>when this thing happened, it's it's.

102
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:50.399
<v Speaker 2>Wild and very lucky.

103
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:52.720
<v Speaker 1>He's alive, but still going to have some injuries to

104
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:55.199
<v Speaker 1>recover from. All right, let's get an update on traffic

105
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:58.000
<v Speaker 1>and weather. Also, we've got sports coming your way in

106
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:01.680
<v Speaker 1>about fifteen minutes and forget eight forty five. Mayor Craig

107
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:04.079
<v Speaker 1>Greenberg going to call in from Omaha to share some

108
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:06.399
<v Speaker 1>special news with us right here Kentucky and his Morning

109
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:09.360
<v Speaker 1>News with Nick Coffee on News Radio eight forty Whas.

110
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:11.160
<v Speaker 2>It is eight.

111
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Seventeen here at Kentucky and it's Morning News on News

112
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:18.519
<v Speaker 1>Radio eight forty whas Nick Coffee with you. Scott Fitzgerald,

113
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:21.079
<v Speaker 1>John Alden, and John Shannon. That's the crew, and we've

114
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:23.279
<v Speaker 1>got a guest coming up here. Reminder eight forty five,

115
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:26.360
<v Speaker 1>Mayor Craig Greenberg going to join us with some special news.

116
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Really looking forward to that. So again, eight forty five

117
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:31.839
<v Speaker 1>is when we expect to hear from him. Obviously, the

118
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:34.439
<v Speaker 1>ice raids going on across the country, that has been

119
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:37.399
<v Speaker 1>a big talking point and certainly a lot of folks

120
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:40.639
<v Speaker 1>feel very strongly about it. You've seen protests that took place,

121
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:43.560
<v Speaker 1>starting well in fact for weeks now, and then of

122
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:47.240
<v Speaker 1>course this past weekend, the No Kings rallies that were

123
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:51.000
<v Speaker 1>going on protest whatever you want to call them, demonstrations, protests.

124
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:53.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's a lot of different ways to ward

125
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:55.920
<v Speaker 1>it however you want. We saw what was taking place

126
00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:00.519
<v Speaker 1>in certain cities across the America. Across America, including right

127
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:03.040
<v Speaker 1>here in Louisville. But here are some numbers. According to

128
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:07.319
<v Speaker 1>the Washington Post, when it comes to the raids that

129
00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:10.000
<v Speaker 1>have taken place and people being deported who are not

130
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:12.920
<v Speaker 1>here legally, it says that the US could lose more

131
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:17.040
<v Speaker 1>immigrants than it gains for the first time in fifty years. Again,

132
00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:20.959
<v Speaker 1>that's according to the Washington Post. And I didn't if

133
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:23.759
<v Speaker 1>you quizzed me and asked me to guess a number,

134
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:25.759
<v Speaker 1>I would have been terrible. I wouldn't have had a

135
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:29.800
<v Speaker 1>clue what numbered, even ballpark it at. But nearly one

136
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:36.199
<v Speaker 1>million illegal immigrants have self deported under President Trump, according

137
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:39.319
<v Speaker 1>to WOW the New York Post. That to me seems

138
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:42.959
<v Speaker 1>like a lot. But again, I'm willing to admit I

139
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:45.319
<v Speaker 1>don't know what would be considered a lot would be

140
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:49.079
<v Speaker 1>considered few. But that is if it was me and

141
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:53.560
<v Speaker 1>I had a real feeling of threat that it would

142
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:55.439
<v Speaker 1>it wouldn't be done on my terms. It would just

143
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:58.319
<v Speaker 1>be being rounded up. And I've got family and whatnot.

144
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:00.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think the obvious decision would be to

145
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:03.560
<v Speaker 1>self deport, and in doing that, you know you're gonna

146
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:05.199
<v Speaker 1>need some resources on your end to be able to

147
00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:07.279
<v Speaker 1>make that happen. But it does sound like if that's

148
00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:09.439
<v Speaker 1>the option you want to go, if you're willing to

149
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:11.800
<v Speaker 1>do that, they will, they'll help you. And I just

150
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:14.000
<v Speaker 1>think if you've got no control and you're seeing what's

151
00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:17.240
<v Speaker 1>taking place across the country, I guess maybe it shouldn't

152
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:20.240
<v Speaker 1>be considered a surprise that a million have have decided

153
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:21.360
<v Speaker 1>to self deport.

154
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:24.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean to your point, if you see that,

155
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:26.560
<v Speaker 3>or sit and wait and see if Ice knocks at

156
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:28.399
<v Speaker 3>your door, because then they're gonna take you off. They're

157
00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:31.199
<v Speaker 3>gonna they're not gonna lock you up, but they're certainly

158
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:33.079
<v Speaker 3>going to remove you from your home, take you to

159
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:34.680
<v Speaker 3>some lace else. You might as well just go on

160
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:35.399
<v Speaker 3>and head back.

161
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:39.360
<v Speaker 1>They may not, I mean, if you resist, I'm sure, yeah,

162
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:40.959
<v Speaker 1>and it's gonna be a different situation.

163
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:43.639
<v Speaker 2>So that's I didn't know the number was that high.

164
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:45.040
<v Speaker 2>That that's according to The New York Post.

165
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Also, one of the protesters in LA, one of those

166
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:50.040
<v Speaker 1>that was protesting.

167
00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:53.439
<v Speaker 2>The ice raids, he has he's I guess.

168
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:55.279
<v Speaker 1>He's filing a lawsuit because he claims that he was

169
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:59.519
<v Speaker 1>hit by a rubber bullet and that rubber bullet shattered

170
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:01.000
<v Speaker 1>one of his testicles.

171
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:02.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh real story.

00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:09.000
<v Speaker 1>testicle happens to the vestals out.

<v Speaker 2>We're all squirming right now, aren't we just thinking about.

177
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:15.120
<v Speaker 3>You ever see that when you see it on TV?

198
00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:10.320
<v Speaker 4>Today is a huge day for U OFL fans. We're playing,

199
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:13.879
<v Speaker 4>obviously in the College World Series, and I'm so excited

200
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:17.000
<v Speaker 4>for this baseball team and coach Dan McDonald. And you know,

201
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:19.559
<v Speaker 4>I've been thinking a lot about U of L has

202
00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:21.799
<v Speaker 4>made such a positive impact on my life. I know

203
00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:24.679
<v Speaker 4>it's made a positive impact on so many people around

204
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:28.120
<v Speaker 4>the entire city. It's bigger than just sports. What it

205
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:31.960
<v Speaker 4>does for this city and today's success is built on

206
00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:35.320
<v Speaker 4>the foundation of so many others. And so I'm thrilled

207
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:39.720
<v Speaker 4>that on June twenty eighth, at ten am, right down

208
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:41.840
<v Speaker 4>there in the sports in the whole, in the middle

209
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:44.519
<v Speaker 4>of on Floyd Street, by all of those sports things,

210
00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:47.799
<v Speaker 4>we are going to honor Tom Jurich. The city and

211
00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:50.360
<v Speaker 4>the U of L and partnership together are going to

212
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:53.600
<v Speaker 4>have a special recognition in honor of Tom Jurich, who

213
00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:57.480
<v Speaker 4>was a fantastic athletic director who built much of the

214
00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:01.000
<v Speaker 4>facilities that the university has played in today that are

215
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:03.879
<v Speaker 4>benefiting the entire city and is one of the key

216
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:08.759
<v Speaker 4>people who built a national program that Josh and his

217
00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:12.519
<v Speaker 4>amazing team are growing and moving forward into the future today.

218
00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:15.000
<v Speaker 4>And so I'm really excited to be able to honor

219
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:17.679
<v Speaker 4>Tom Jurich on June twenty eighth, and I wanted to

220
00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:19.840
<v Speaker 4>let you and your listeners.

221
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:22.600
<v Speaker 2>Know first well, thank you so much. Really appreciate it.

222
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:25.200
<v Speaker 1>Certainly big news, and I believe that this will be

223
00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:28.360
<v Speaker 1>news that Louisville Cardinal fans are happy to hear, and

224
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:30.720
<v Speaker 1>they're going to be in support of this and happy

225
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:32.639
<v Speaker 1>that this is happening for Tom. Can you tell us

226
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:35.279
<v Speaker 1>a little bit about how this came together. I know

227
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:39.720
<v Speaker 1>you've had some recent conversations with Tom Jurich. I assume

228
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:42.559
<v Speaker 1>and hope that he's appreciative of this and excited.

229
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:47.320
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, Tom's really looking forward to this. I've known

230
00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:51.840
<v Speaker 4>Tom for ten, probably fifteen years, and I've always admired

231
00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:55.399
<v Speaker 4>him as not just the athletic director, but as a leader,

232
00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:58.759
<v Speaker 4>as an individual who's someone who cared so much about

233
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:01.120
<v Speaker 4>the city. And you know, when you become mayor, there

234
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:02.600
<v Speaker 4>are lots of things that you want to do and

235
00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:05.120
<v Speaker 4>you start working on them and looking for the right

236
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:08.039
<v Speaker 4>time to do certain things and it just felt like

237
00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:12.200
<v Speaker 4>now was the right time to do that. Tom has

238
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:16.320
<v Speaker 4>made such contributions to the city. I'm very thrilled that

239
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:20.039
<v Speaker 4>U of L is supportive of this and participating with

240
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:22.879
<v Speaker 4>us in this recognition, and so really this is an

241
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:29.600
<v Speaker 4>opportunity for everybody who has benefited from Tom's contributions that

242
00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:33.080
<v Speaker 4>he made to our city to recognize him in a

243
00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:35.039
<v Speaker 4>really fun, unique way that we're going to do on

244
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:38.399
<v Speaker 4>the twenty eighth at ten am to people be invited

245
00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:40.440
<v Speaker 4>to it as well. It's right there on Floyd Street,

246
00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:45.080
<v Speaker 4>right by the softball stadium, by the playground. There, there's

247
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:47.480
<v Speaker 4>a little plaza that we're going to do an outdoor

248
00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:50.080
<v Speaker 4>celebration and recognition for Tom at Louisville.

249
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:51.840
<v Speaker 1>Mayor Craig Greenberger is our guest joining us here on

250
00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:55.960
<v Speaker 1>News Radio eight forty whas as the mayor of this city. Obviously,

251
00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:59.039
<v Speaker 1>when sports are booming and going well, that's good for

252
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:03.120
<v Speaker 1>the economy, good for everybody in this city, Louisville athletically

253
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:04.960
<v Speaker 1>as far as I don't mean just the university, but

254
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:08.080
<v Speaker 1>just as the sports city that we are, I mean

255
00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:11.919
<v Speaker 1>without Tom Jurich, it's hard hard to know if we'd

256
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:13.399
<v Speaker 1>be in the position we are as far as the

257
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:17.120
<v Speaker 1>University of Louisville being members of the ACC from your role,

258
00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:20.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, is it an exaggeration? Is it fair to

259
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:23.039
<v Speaker 1>say that you know his team, not him specifically. Obviously

260
00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:25.039
<v Speaker 1>he had a lot to do with it, but that era,

261
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:27.399
<v Speaker 1>that was the Tom Jurich era at the University of Louisville.

262
00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:30.000
<v Speaker 1>It's not uperbole to say that we'd have really no

263
00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:32.559
<v Speaker 1>clue where athletics might be had it not been for

264
00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:34.240
<v Speaker 1>the great, great tenure that he had.

265
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:41.519
<v Speaker 4>Right Tom's leadership built the foundation upon which Cardinal Athletics

266
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:44.279
<v Speaker 4>is thriving today. I mean, we are so fortunate. Josh

267
00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:47.960
<v Speaker 4>is an amazing athletic director who I respect so much.

268
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:49.840
<v Speaker 4>I mean, what he is doing now with the program

269
00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:52.399
<v Speaker 4>and the coaches that he has in place, the leadership

270
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:57.720
<v Speaker 4>navigating the whole nil and ever changing environment is incredibly impressive.

271
00:12:57.759 --> 00:13:00.919
<v Speaker 4>And I'm so excited about the future of U of

272
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:04.639
<v Speaker 4>l athletics that, you know, just like me, building on

273
00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:07.360
<v Speaker 4>the foundation of others who have come before me in

274
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:12.200
<v Speaker 4>my role in various city leadership roles. Tom's contributions with

275
00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:16.240
<v Speaker 4>what got built during his time has been so helpful

276
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:18.279
<v Speaker 4>to the city When you think about. You know, the

277
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:21.080
<v Speaker 4>Young Center would not have been built without a relationship

278
00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:24.159
<v Speaker 4>with U of L. And what that means not athletics,

279
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:27.600
<v Speaker 4>but to the entire downtown, to our entire city and honestly,

280
00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:34.759
<v Speaker 4>state is so important. And each one of those you know,

281
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:40.159
<v Speaker 4>with stadiums or facilities that were built under Tom's leadership,

282
00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:44.240
<v Speaker 4>has really made significant contributions to our city. It attracts

283
00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:47.240
<v Speaker 4>people to visit our city, to spend money here, to

284
00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:51.559
<v Speaker 4>drive the economy, and athletics are only becoming a larger

285
00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:54.679
<v Speaker 4>part of our society and world, and we have a

286
00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:56.360
<v Speaker 4>foundation upon which to build on.

287
00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:59.039
<v Speaker 1>You're right, Josh Art has a lot of good momentum,

288
00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:01.840
<v Speaker 1>good vibes right now over at the University of Louisville.

289
00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:04.639
<v Speaker 1>This news, I think, only only continues that just good

290
00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:06.559
<v Speaker 1>energy within the Louisville fan base. And I know a

291
00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:08.600
<v Speaker 1>lot of Louisville fans will be excited to hear this.

292
00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:10.840
<v Speaker 1>You got to tell me real quick, what's the vibes

293
00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:13.720
<v Speaker 1>like in Omaha. Obviously a great come from behind victory

294
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:17.960

295
00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:19.360
<v Speaker 1>this run in the College World Series.

296
00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:21.279
<v Speaker 2>I know you're enjoying it. Being out there, what's it like.

297
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:24.679

00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:34.320
<v Speaker 4>which we had a great half of an inning that

301
00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:36.639
<v Speaker 4>was a lot of fun, but unfortunately the bottom of

302
00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:38.600
<v Speaker 4>the night didn't work out well on Friday night. But

303
00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:41.919
<v Speaker 4>Omaha is you know, it's their Kentucky Derby. The whole

304
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:45.720
<v Speaker 4>city is alive, the whole area surrounding the stadium is alive,

305
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:49.360
<v Speaker 4>with all the different schools enjoying themselves and celebrating them there.

306
00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:52.679
<v Speaker 4>That's another great example of look, what building a world

307
00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:56.120
<v Speaker 4>class sports venue in the case that I think it's

308
00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:59.240
<v Speaker 4>called Charles Swabs Stadium or something, what that's done for

309
00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:01.679
<v Speaker 4>the city. You know, so too have many of the

310
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:03.919
<v Speaker 4>pieces that U of L has built over the years,

311
00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:07.039
<v Speaker 4>many of them under Tom Jorge's leadership, that have helped

312
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:09.679
<v Speaker 4>us build even more on top of that. But it

313
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:12.360
<v Speaker 4>was really unique and I'm so looking forward to tonight's game.

314
00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:15.200
<v Speaker 4>And this is a great team with a phenomenal coach

315
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:18.039
<v Speaker 4>and it'd be fun to see him win tonight.

316
00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:20.480
<v Speaker 2>Mary Greenberg, thank you for the time.
