WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:01.960 It is seven oh five here Kentucky. It's morning news 2 00:00:01.960 --> 00:00:05.440 on news radio eight forty whas and we are now joined. 3 00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:08.039 But he's I'm the new guy. He's a regulars Dwight 4 00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:11.279 Mitchell w of l MPD who joins us. How are 5 00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:11.880 we doing, Dwight? 6 00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:14.560 Very good, Nick, And you know it's gonna take me 7 00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:16.839 away to get used to that new name. Yeah, I said, Tony, 8 00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:18.160 but works for me. 9 00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:21.359 Yeah, I'm happy to chat with you. Look forward to 10 00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:24.679 having conversations throughout. And I'm not Tony Kruz. If I could, 11 00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:26.960 I would certainly try to be, but nobody can. And 12 00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:29.920 we'll we'll miss him around here. But now you've got me, 13 00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.600 and again I'm looking forward to to our continued conversations 14 00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:36.600 and I'll continue to I guess I'll start with when 15 00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:39.960 it comes to LMPD in the plans for this weekend, 16 00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:42.520 obviously there's gonna be some demonstrations that are scheduled really 17 00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:44.600 across the country. Certainly Louisville is one of those cities 18 00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:47.840 that will see that as well. What is in place 19 00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:52.200 as of now to as best have things from getting 20 00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:54.159 to the point where it does sort of cross the 21 00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:57.000 line from being peaceful to maybe becoming not peaceful. 22 00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:01.560 Well, first of all, I'm main going it's always public 23 00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:05.319 safety when it comes to these issues, So that's what 24 00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:09.640 LMPD will be concentrated on and monitoring that public safety 25 00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:14.680 and the rights of folks their constitutional right to protest. 26 00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:17.799 That's what's great about this country. The moment it gets 27 00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:20.560 into something other than that is when we will intervene 28 00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:24.280 at that point. But otherwise we hopefully that it's peaceful 29 00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:28.359 protests and one that people get their points across, they 30 00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:30.200 want to do, and they can work with us. We 31 00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:34.560 can ensure that that happens to make sure those demonstrations 32 00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:37.120 go peacefully and smooth as we all want them to go, 33 00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:40.480 and everybody has public safety at the front part and 34 00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:43.200 also get to exercise your constitutional right. So as long 35 00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:46.079 as we're able to do those things, that's our goal. 36 00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:49.200 So there's obviously training that goes into place when it 37 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.000 comes to being on hand to keep things as peaceful 38 00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:54.079 as possible. But I feel like that would be a 39 00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:56.799 real challenge to kind of balance. I mean, certainly you 40 00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:58.959 can see, okay, this is certainly something that one is 41 00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:01.519 against the law, or it's some thing that is trending 42 00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:04.760 towards crossing that line? How do you, guys balance that 43 00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:07.120 you how do you how do you know, truly know 44 00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:09.159 exactly where where that line is. 45 00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:11.400 Well, and that's the whole reason why there's a line, 46 00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:14.599 and it's an invisible one and one that through training 47 00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:17.680 that you hope that you can detect early and hopefully 48 00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:19.680 promote that to say, hey, if you cross this line, 49 00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:22.240 this is going to happen. The one thing that's very 50 00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.039 difficult in law enforcement, no matter what the situation is, 51 00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:29.199 human behavior is not an exact science. We don't know 52 00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:31.560 why people do what they do, even though there's rules 53 00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:34.159 and laws in place of what they do that in fact, 54 00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:36.560 if we knew the answer to that, they would need 55 00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:39.639 the US. So it is a challenge, as you have said, 56 00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:43.280 but one that we meet and sometimes we get it 57 00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.080 right real good, and sometimes we don't, and we learn 58 00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:47.919 through those lessons and we try to do the best 59 00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:48.400 we can. 60 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:52.520 So when it comes to the officers that'll be on hand. 61 00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:56.520 Is there any specific I'm trying to think of the 62 00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:59.520 right way to word this, because you want people to 63 00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:02.000 be able to rest the rights and they have the 64 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:04.599 right to do that, but I just I feel like 65 00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:07.240 if you were being antagonized as an officer, I mean, 66 00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:10.400 and you're trained to just deal with it, I suppose, 67 00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:11.919 But that's got to be a lot more difficult than 68 00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:13.159 people probably realize. 69 00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:15.280 Well, it is because we're not robots. 70 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:19.680 Sure, humans human beings, but the human element is real, right. 71 00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:20.879 But the call. 72 00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:23.039 Into law enforcements, just like it is in any call 73 00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:26.439 in any profession, there has to be a special it 74 00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:28.639 factor that you have to have to be able to 75 00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:31.560 handle those things that comes through experience. No matter how 76 00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:34.639 much we may train on it in a training situation, 77 00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:37.960 when it's happening for real, human instincts take a place. 78 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:41.479 But for the number of interactions we have in law enforcement, 79 00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:45.520 no matter what the situation is, excuse me, most of 80 00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:48.240 the time we come out on top and doing the 81 00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:49.879 right thing. And the men and women who put that 82 00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:53.039 uniform on every day exemplify that, and that's what we 83 00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:54.319 continue to encourage. 84 00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:57.000 Dwight Mitchell, OLLMPD spokesman joins us here our news Radiate 85 00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:00.319 forty whas. One of the big stories last week and 86 00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.039 my first week on the job was trying to keep 87 00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:07.159 the situation in the Highlands on Bargetown Road for trying 88 00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:10.319 to prevent a third straight weekend of just chaos. To 89 00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:12.840 put it bluntly, it seems as if there was some 90 00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:16.240 real progress this past weekend with with with what went on. 91 00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:19.399 Yes, you know, we learned from the first weekend we 92 00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:23.959 had increased patrol in that area and there's no doubt 93 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:26.160 that the weather helped us too, because. 94 00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:26.879 It did start. 95 00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:29.480 Mother nature helped out, yes, and that's what's good about 96 00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:31.839 mother nature. Every now and then she does what a 97 00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:36.279 mother does, Yes, comes and brings some peace and some 98 00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:41.879 tranquility to things. But we are prepared in case anything happens. Well, 99 00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:44.839 you'll see more increased walking patrols in that area as 100 00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:48.519 well as our horse patrol of being that area just 101 00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:51.279 to let people know that we're there and we want 102 00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:52.240 people to have a good time. 103 00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:53.279 We wanted them to do that. 104 00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:56.279 But again, it's crossing that line that we're all talking 105 00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:57.000 about when. 106 00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:00.240 It comes to I guess long term plans and order 107 00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:04.240 to improve that overall situation. What kind of things could 108 00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:07.120 could go in place to you know down the line here. 109 00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:09.959 Well, it's not all a police issue. 110 00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:13.519 Sure, you know, we have the bar businesses in the 111 00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:15.399 area that staying open that time. 112 00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:17.800 They're being very cooperative with us and doing that. 113 00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:20.319 They have a place of business, they're trying to have 114 00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:23.319 have people to have a good time with that. But 115 00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:25.480 as far as the police department is going to start again, 116 00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:29.000 it comes down to public safety and what's problem and 117 00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:31.759 nobody's breaking laws. I think last weekend, I think we 118 00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:34.079 only had the I think Friday night there was really 119 00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:36.120 nothing that went on, and we may have told maybe 120 00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:39.160 five cars and then a couple of unrelated. 121 00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:41.560 Over Yeah, it didn't really tie into what had happened previously, right. 122 00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:44.839 Correct, correct, And I think people got the message. But 123 00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:47.000 I know it's kind of a cat and mouse game too. 124 00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:50.079 It's Bardstown when week it could be somewhere else. Oh yeah, 125 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:51.160 but we're prepared. 126 00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:54.759 So there was some unfortunate, really some sad news this 127 00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:58.639 week as former LMPD detective Michelle Rush passed away after 128 00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:02.000 a fierce battle cancer. Obviously, she made quite an impact 129 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:04.240 on this community and quite an impact on the department. 130 00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:05.800 Can you talk a little bit about that. I know 131 00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:08.720 a lot of her colleagues and friends, family have really 132 00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:11.000 just talked about how special she was. 133 00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:15.040 She was very special and you know, only thirty five 134 00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:18.279 years old. But when I say that she didn't live long, 135 00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:21.160 but she lived strong, and she did her job very 136 00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:23.879 very well from all of what I'm hearing and what 137 00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:26.600 I've heard over the years, and her deep passion she 138 00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:29.040 had for children and working in that unit, which takes 139 00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:31.399 a very special individual to do that, because you find 140 00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:34.959 them in the worst situations many times, and you're trying 141 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:39.319 to bring them some kind of comfort and closure and 142 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:41.399 those type of things, and she did that very well 143 00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:44.720 in dealing with that. Certainly, our prayers go out to 144 00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:47.319 her husband, who's a detective own the department, as well 145 00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:50.040 as her three children, and you know, we just asked 146 00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:52.240 God's grace and mercy upon him as he has to 147 00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:55.560 raise those children, not totally alone, sure, but it's not 148 00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:57.519 the same as if your wife's not there in their mother. 149 00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:01.959 Yeah, and clearly a very sad, sad situation. However, it 150 00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:05.519 did really from my perspective, just give me a reminder 151 00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:08.160 of the camaraderie that is there within law enforcement and 152 00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:10.360 just seeing so many go out of their way to 153 00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:13.360 make sure people knew the impact that she had on 154 00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:14.680 them and had on the community. 155 00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:17.160 Yes, and you know the thing about it is, you 156 00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:19.879 know you're in law enforcement, police officer, but you're a 157 00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:26.519 human being, and she was somebody's wife, somebody's parent, somebody's daughter, 158 00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:27.600 somebody's cousin. 159 00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:31.040 So it's no different than you and your family, Nick. 160 00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:35.279 And unfortunately her time came quick, but I feel that 161 00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:38.360 she's in a much better place where there's no more sickness, 162 00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:38.920 no more pain. 163 00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:41.720 Yeah, thoughts and prayers to the entire family and all 164 00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:45.399 those that were close with Michelle Rush very sad.

But to hear that once they ended 190 00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:57.720 up getting him to the hospital, the doctor that was 191 00:08:57.759 --> 00:09:01.039 with with the survivor just said he was disoriented, had 192 00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:04.840 some injuries on his body, but overall out of danger. 193 00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:08.279 I mean, I cannot imagine I mean, in any way 194 00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:11.720 anything that comes with that entire situation, top to bottom, 195 00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:16.679 meaning being the survivor, being a family member, somebody who 196 00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:20.240 knew one of the many that passed away. Two hundred 197 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:24.360 and forty one people were dead. But talk about survivor's guild. 198 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:26.480 If you're not familiar with what that is, it's a 199 00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:29.519 real thing. And this may be one of the most 200 00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:32.159 extreme and best examples that I can think of, because 201 00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:36.080 you'd have to wonder why me, Why did I get 202 00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:44.879 so lucky? You're balancing the uncontrollable. I guess, praise to 203 00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:48.039 God that you're alive, right, And I was stumbling there 204 00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:49.720 spinning my wheels because I didn't really know how to order. 205 00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:52.399 But you're just so grateful and you will forever. You'll 206 00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:54.240 probably right now think for the rest of your life. 207 00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:56.919 There won't be three to five seconds that go by 208 00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:59.320 where you don't think. Man, I'm so lucky, I'm so thankful, 209 00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:02.879 I'm so blessed, Thank you God. But then you wonder, well, man, 210 00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:05.279 there were two hundred and forty one people that didn't live. 211 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:10.360 I'm okay, I'm alive. Wow, thank you. This is unbelievable. 212 00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:13.799 I'm so grateful. But also again the guilt of others 213 00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:15.960 that were on the plane with you, that you know, 214 00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:18.960 you probably have memories of going right before it happened 215 00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:21.679 and seeing a family that was in the aisle next 216 00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:22.480 to you or whatnot. 217 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.039 I just I mean not to mention the trauma that 218 00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:28.279 this man's gonna he's gonna wake up in the middle 219 00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:30.159 of the night, he's gonna have to re live this 220 00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:33.080 over and over and over, and then to your point, 221 00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:37.000 at the same time, he's probably going to turn this 222 00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:39.559 around and go, Okay, what good can I was put again, 223 00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:40.399 I'm a firm believer. 224 00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:41.399 We're all here for a reason. 225 00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:44.759 People cross our paths for a reason, we're introduced to 226 00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:45.559 people for a reason. 227 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:49.840 This guy survived for a reason. He's got work left. 228 00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:52.399 To do, and it'll be interesting to follow his storyline 229 00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:53.200 and see what happened. 230 00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:56.799 So again, there's I think most just the reaction is 231 00:10:57.240 --> 00:10:59.639 how lucky is this guy? Who would have ever believed 232 00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:03.679 somebody would not only survive but seemingly be okay. But 233 00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:05.960 I don't think enough This is just my perception of it, 234 00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:07.919 that people like, he's a victim here, he's gonna have 235 00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:11.240 he has had a traumatic experience. So yes, that is wow, 236 00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:13.879 how lucky is he? He survived, but his life will be 237 00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:16.519 forever changed, and there's so much that comes with that 238 00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:20.159 kind of trauma that it'll like again, I'm sure, And 239 00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:22.799 that's the balancing Now, you're lucky to be alive, your 240 00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:25.480 life has forever changed, and I can't imagine that's something 241 00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:28.200 that you just eventually ever get over. You just have 242 00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:30.320 to hopefully learn how to how to deal with it. 243 00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:32.639 They said he got up to get out of the aircraft, 244 00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:35.080 and he said he just remembers bodies being all around 245 00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:38.240 him and those are images that will never ever escape 246 00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:40.799 him and take him with him wherever he goes. There's 247 00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:42.480 gonna be a lot of therapy that's going to be 248 00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:43.080 involved here. 249 00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:46.360 Yeah, he said he heard a loud noise seconds after takeoff, 250 00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:50.320 and then the next thing he remembers is just seeing 251 00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:54.639 the botoman. It just it's awful, just awful, awful stuff. 252 00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:57.440 And so before we get to our next update on 253 00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:01.000 traffic and weather, the cicadas are real issue around here 254 00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:04.080 and I haven't noticed is much like just getting in 255 00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:06.879 my way to where they're they're they're near me and 256 00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:10.879 I got to shoe them away. But they're loud, dude, 257 00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:12.440 They're so loud. So have you guys seen this story 258 00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:16.000 out of Cincinnati. There's somebody who got into a serious 259 00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:19.600 car crash yesterday and they're blaming the cicada. Oh no, 260 00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:23.720 So police are searching for the suspect who who fled 261 00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:27.840 or flew the suspect as a cicada. Another bad joke, 262 00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:30.240 second one of the day for me. I'll take I'll 263 00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:32.559 put it Joe going ahead and spotting to white a 264 00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:34.559 couple of bucks before this show start starts so he 265 00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:36.200 can get some Friday bad jokes out of the way. 266 00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:40.759 But anyways, there was a crash in Cincinnati and the 267 00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:44.320 driver claims that they were startled and tried to shoe 268 00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:47.480 away the noisy cicada. They ended up flying into the 269 00:12:47.559 --> 00:12:50.320 vehicle and when doing that, they veered off the road, 270 00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:54.039 hitting a pole, overturning the vehicle and luckily nobody was 271 00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:56.120 hurt on an overturned vehicle crash, which is a pretty 272 00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:59.399 rare thing. But the police they're locally, note that cicadas 273 00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:02.039 don't respect personal space and recommend that all drivers keep 274 00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:04.919 their windows rolled up at least for the next few weeks. 275 00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:07.840 So I don't know why what you would get out 276 00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:11.080 of making this up, But there's no way to know 277 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:13.080 for sure, Like there's no there's gonna be any proof 278 00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:15.519 that a cicada caused it. It's a little bit believable 279 00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:18.240 just because we know, especially Cincinnati's not far from us 280 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:21.240 at all, and around here they're everywhere. 281 00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:23.720 I've I've seen the stories where people have used this 282 00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:27.519 defense a bee and that actually happened to us. Okay, 283 00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:30.399 bee flew into the car and it drives you crazy. 284 00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:32.200 I've almost been caught in a couple times with that. 285 00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:34.159 I mean, I'm not talking like your carpenter bees that 286 00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:36.879 don't harm anybody. These are those nasty little yellow jacket 287 00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:40.399 things that are just been there. Yeah, and I've almost 288 00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:42.960 swerved a couple of times, but the same token, I 289 00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:44.639 knew I had to keep my hands on the road. 290 00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:46.799 Or bees believed to be smart. Yeah, you know, they're 291 00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:50.279 pretty smart. When it's happened to me, I feel like 292 00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:52.240 they know they've got me in a vulnerable spot, right, 293 00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:55.960 jacky jackets do, dude, they're coming for you. 294 00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:58.600 The carpenter's bee is kind of kind of an eres 295 00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:01.320 kind of thing. And that's why I said, but if 296 00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:03.519 you I had a yellow jacket in the car and 297 00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:06.919 then just remember swerving all over and even when when 298 00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:08.519 I was telling you last weekend when I was cutting 299 00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:10.840 the grass and cicadas were landing on me because I 300 00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:13.759 think they're blind. I mean, they just the boom and 301 00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:16.480 then and they're stuck. They're they don't are not gonna 302 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:18.960 hurt you, but they just don't look pleasant. 303 00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:21.279 I mean, it's and they don't sound pleasant either. They 304 00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:23.399 don't You could be out trying to enjoy a nice 305 00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:26.960 you know, late spring, early summer evening and trying to 306 00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:30.960 get some peace and quiet, maybe just hear nature and there. Yeah. 307 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:32.840 Well, and the good the good thing to your point 308 00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:34.480 is they're probably going to leave us at the end 309 00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:34.919 of this month. 310 00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:36.919 That's the case. This that was my CCADA impression. 311 00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:37.559 Pretty good. 312 00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:39.279 That was good. That was really good. 313 00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:40.159 My math teacher. 314 00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:42.639 No, I can't speak. I'm outa shove. I goa threw 315 00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:44.639 my voice out there. All right.

We'll have another news update with John Shannon 324 00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:09.039 around eight o'clock. And I've got some friends stopping by. 325 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:11.000 My friends over at Thornton's are gonna stop in and 326 00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:13.039 see us. I'm a big Thornton's guy, you guys know, 327 00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:16.039 it's a big part of the brand, and I'm looking 328 00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:18.279 forward to seeing them. Who doesn't like Thornton's. If you didn't, 329 00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:20.200 if you didn't like Thornton's, I'm turning your mic off, dude. 330 00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:21.120 I told you yesterday. 331 00:15:21.159 --> 00:15:24.600 The beauty for me about Thornton's is after the pandemic, 332 00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:29.120 the grocery stores all didn't stay up in twenty four hours. 333 00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:31.840 I like banana sometimes in the morning, and sometimes I 334 00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:34.200 forget to get them. Who's got bananas in the morning. 335 00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:36.600 Thornton's, of course they didn't. I can walk in there, 336 00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:39.159 of course they did. Yeah, it was a relief. And 337 00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:42.360 they have a lot of perks to being a member 338 00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:45.879 of their Refreshment Awards program, and one of those is 339 00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:49.679 you can save up to twenty five cents weekly when 340 00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:52.120 you fill up the gas tank, so weekly you always 341 00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:54.480 counts up to twenty five cents off per gallon, and 342 00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:56.279 then every day you can save five cents. But that's 343 00:15:56.279 --> 00:15:58.279 one of the many reasons. But we'll chat with our 344 00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:00.720 friends coming up here in the eight o'clock hour. So 345 00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:04.159 one of the things that that we've been discussing throughout 346 00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:06.840 the morning here, as you could expect, is the the 347 00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:11.200 the plans this weekend across the country really for the 348 00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:14.360 the protests, and I don't I mean, let me make 349 00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:16.600 sure I word it correctly here because I don't want to, 350 00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:18.159 you know, I don't want to get it wrong. But 351 00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:20.480 there's the Kings what is it called the King's Thing? 352 00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:22.279 Where's it at here? I just had it pulled up 353 00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:24.559 in front of me. No Kings, Yeah, the no Kings 354 00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:27.960 pro So those are going to take place just about everywhere. 355 00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:30.480 As we discussed earlier, they are, there's plans for them 356 00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:34.320 to take place, and I believe every I mean every 357 00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:38.200 at least at least one city within every state, we'll 358 00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:42.080 have one of these protests. And sorry for being pessimistic. 359 00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:44.960 I just think it's hard to expect there not to 360 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:50.039 be multiple instances of I guess, just examples of when 361 00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:52.360 it does cross the line. And what I'm dying to 362 00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:54.919 know but will never be able to know, is Okay, 363 00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:57.799 how much did that truly represent of what's going on? 364 00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:01.360 Because this is something I think we're all aware of, 365 00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:04.440 but maybe we don't keep it in mind as much 366 00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:08.400 as we as we should. And that is that what 367 00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:10.640 you see in an isolated incident, I guess what you 368 00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:13.440 see could just be an isolated incident, and you know, 369 00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:19.759 really knowing just you know, an extreme example, how common 370 00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:21.440 is that type of thing to happen where it does 371 00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:23.599 cross the line to where it's no longer peaceful. But 372 00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:25.480 there's just you know, I think what we all want 373 00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:28.640 is to know the true temperature of how people feel 374 00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:30.960 about this stuff, and there's just really no way to 375 00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:34.920 know that at any specific level. And you've got extreme 376 00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:37.359 examples on certain sides, and that's all that gets thrown 377 00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:39.279 in our face. And I'm just somebody that's like just 378 00:17:39.319 --> 00:17:42.279 wanting to Okay, I can clearly tell you feel this way, right, 379 00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:44.799 and I could clearly tell that you feel that way, 380 00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:48.640 And I just I've always believed that the majority does 381 00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:50.400 lie in the middle. But maybe that's just a lie 382 00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:52.680 that I tell myself. Maybe it doesn't true, it does it. 383 00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:54.640 It's like in this business, I mentioned this to you, 384 00:17:54.680 --> 00:17:57.599 and I mentioned this cruise, that that there was one 385 00:17:57.680 --> 00:17:59.960 somebody who I respect in the media that told me, 386 00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:02.640 in this business, twenty percent love you, twenty percent hate you. 387 00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:04.880 The rest of the middle just don't care. And I 388 00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:07.079 think to your point, when it comes to the political 389 00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:11.119 outcries on one side and the political cries on the outside. 390 00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:14.920 There's that massive swath in the middle that looks at 391 00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:17.279 it realistically. And I find this out more and more 392 00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:20.240 of I've been in this business, that those outer fringes 393 00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:23.880 they're there, they're loud, they'll be heard, but they're not 394 00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:25.200 as big as the folks in the middle. 395 00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:27.640 Yeah. So this is planned also on the same day 396 00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:31.640 of Flag Day, and it's also President Trump's birthday. So yeah, 397 00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:35.079 they plan nearly two thousand no Kings protests across all 398 00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:38.480 fifty states. The flagship march is going to be in Philadelphia, 399 00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:41.799 and of course in DC there's not one schedule because 400 00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:44.240 in DC they're going to have the giant parade with 401 00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:47.400
