1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Let's get the six am hour started here on a

2
00:00:02.560 --> 00:00:06.679
<v Speaker 1>wet Wednesday morning. Happy hump day, Kentuckyana. It is Kentuckyanah's

3
00:00:06.679 --> 00:00:09.439
<v Speaker 1>Morning News with Coffee and Company on News Radio eight

4
00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:12.560
<v Speaker 1>forty whas Nick Coffee, that's me. You just heard John Shannon.

5
00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:14.960
<v Speaker 1>We'll have Scott Fitzgerald back for another sports update in

6
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:17.679
<v Speaker 1>about twenty minutes. And of course John Alden the company

7
00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:20.920
<v Speaker 1>made himself. He's alongside and John, you know this about me?

8
00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:22.280
<v Speaker 1>You know me well, we've known each other for a

9
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:24.719
<v Speaker 1>couple of years. But the audience here, listeners there, they're

10
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:26.480
<v Speaker 1>probably learning about me a little bit along the way.

11
00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:28.960
<v Speaker 1>And I haven't talked a whole lot about it. I

12
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:31.079
<v Speaker 1>know it's come up at least a couple of times

13
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:34.200
<v Speaker 1>since I've been in this position taken over for Tony Cruz.

14
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:38.320
<v Speaker 1>But I am the father of two children, and my daughter, Maya,

15
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:42.479
<v Speaker 1>she is nine years old, and she is she has

16
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:48.640
<v Speaker 1>autism and she is intellectually disabled. So think of a

17
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:53.560
<v Speaker 1>nine year old who on an intellectual level is closer

18
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:59.359
<v Speaker 1>to three. And I knew eventually there'd be stories that

19
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:01.240
<v Speaker 1>would come up to where I'd have to kind of

20
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:04.280
<v Speaker 1>navigate best I can without you know, just got to

21
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:06.040
<v Speaker 1>do my job, but also not let sort of my

22
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:11.760
<v Speaker 1>situation change how this stuff maybe should be discussed. But

23
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:14.519
<v Speaker 1>I'll just be me and be honest and be transparent

24
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:17.840
<v Speaker 1>as best I can. So yesterday's news of I mean,

25
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:20.200
<v Speaker 1>it's just a tragic situation all the way around, where

26
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:22.560
<v Speaker 1>a five year old boy goes missing and again an

27
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:25.319
<v Speaker 1>ian alert was issued. And for those who don't know

28
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:26.959
<v Speaker 1>what a n EAN alert is, which, by the way,

29
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:33.079
<v Speaker 1>what are the chances that a year after that became

30
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:36.640
<v Speaker 1>a thing. I mean, it's just insane. The one year

31
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:41.040
<v Speaker 1>anniversary of the ian alert system is when is when

32
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:43.400
<v Speaker 1>it was used. And then of course they later found

33
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:48.959
<v Speaker 1>this young boy deceased. So yeah, it started Tuesday morning

34
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:51.799
<v Speaker 1>where everybody I'm sure got the alert on their phone,

35
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:55.359
<v Speaker 1>and not that long after they found this young boy.

36
00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:59.840
<v Speaker 1>This young boy Silas from Hart County, Kentucky. He passed away.

37
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:03.079
<v Speaker 1>So at ten fifteen they confirmed that he'd been found dead.

38
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:05.560
<v Speaker 1>This the area where he's from is in Hart County, Kentucky.

39
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Cub Run is the community and it's not too far

40
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:11.919
<v Speaker 1>from Mammoth Cave. But the system is modeled after the

41
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Amber Alert and it's tailored to quickly locate missing individuals

42
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:19.360
<v Speaker 1>with cognitive or developmental disability so that that I am

43
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:22.639
<v Speaker 1>the father of somebody who is who? And so when

44
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I learned of this Ian alert being in place, I mean,

45
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:28.759
<v Speaker 1>I thought to myself, Okay, this is great, this makes

46
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:34.919
<v Speaker 1>total sense because there are and my daughter maybe visual

47
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:37.520
<v Speaker 1>and I don't and I don't care at all because

48
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:39.759
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't matter to me. But I don't know if

49
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:42.759
<v Speaker 1>many people without any interaction would know that she is

50
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:47.719
<v Speaker 1>intellectually disabled just because you know, you don't know. So

51
00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:51.680
<v Speaker 1>I think having a specific alert in place for those

52
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:53.599
<v Speaker 1>I mean that, I think that's I mean, I love it.

53
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:57.560
<v Speaker 1>I think it's great. And I'm somebody that is sensitive

54
00:02:57.599 --> 00:02:59.560
<v Speaker 1>to one the R word just because of you know

55
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:01.599
<v Speaker 1>it just the thought, you know, just the thought of

56
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:05.039
<v Speaker 1>as a parent, your kid being teased and being called

57
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:10.360
<v Speaker 1>that it just it it kills me. So I'm also

58
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:13.840
<v Speaker 1>sensitive to those that were probably complaining about and again

59
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:15.319
<v Speaker 1>I get it, like I don't hold it against people.

60
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:17.159
<v Speaker 1>If you know, I'm not trying to make anybody feel bad.

61
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:20.360
<v Speaker 1>If you were annoyed by that loud alarm yesterday and

62
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:22.319
<v Speaker 1>you just felt like, why are they doing this? You know,

63
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:24.639
<v Speaker 1>kind I turn this off, like I get it, like

64
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:26.120
<v Speaker 1>you're just you know, you're you're caught up in your

65
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:28.479
<v Speaker 1>own world and you're not and you know I understand,

66
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:31.120
<v Speaker 1>but also will never not use the platform I have

67
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:34.759
<v Speaker 1>here to to share that that it, you know, because

68
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:38.039
<v Speaker 1>I think more than anything, it's not about the world

69
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:42.039
<v Speaker 1>being insensitive and being jerked. It's just if they knew

70
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:44.319
<v Speaker 1>and if you if they were exposed to people who

71
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:48.159
<v Speaker 1>do have children of their special needs, then maybe they

72
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:49.960
<v Speaker 1>would have a little bit more awareness and maybe they

73
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.719
<v Speaker 1>would make their children more aware of people being different

74
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:56.080
<v Speaker 1>and whatnot. So I just, you know, just a sad

75
00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:59.199
<v Speaker 1>situation all the way around, heartbreaking for this this young

76
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:01.039
<v Speaker 1>five year old boy to be found to be found dead.

77
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:02.800
<v Speaker 1>They're not releasing a whole lot of information. There's no

78
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:05.159
<v Speaker 1>foul play that is expected. As you heard in the

79
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:08.400
<v Speaker 1>news update there. KSP has said that in the statement

80
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:10.800
<v Speaker 1>that we grieve with this family in the community. That

81
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:15.199
<v Speaker 1>was their quote. So this is new again one year

82
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:17.839
<v Speaker 1>to the day that this became a system that was

83
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:21.680
<v Speaker 1>in place, it was used and obviously a terrible ending,

84
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:25.040
<v Speaker 1>but I think it makes it makes a whole lot

85
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:26.519
<v Speaker 1>of sense to have this in place, and it was

86
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:30.120
<v Speaker 1>named after a young boy named Ian who was a

87
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:32.560
<v Speaker 1>nine year old with autism who drowned in twenty twenty

88
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:37.720
<v Speaker 1>two after running away. So, and everybody's situation is different,

89
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:40.720
<v Speaker 1>and I've learned that over the years. So there's so

90
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:47.399
<v Speaker 1>many different ways and levels of autism. So everybody's different. However,

91
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:50.800
<v Speaker 1>being around a lot of other special needs kids, whether

92
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:53.519
<v Speaker 1>it be the Miracle League baseball league that my daughter

93
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:57.639
<v Speaker 1>plays in, or her class at school, there are kids

94
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:02.199
<v Speaker 1>that just can end up, you know, off and in

95
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:05.439
<v Speaker 1>and again, we don't know exactly what happened with this

96
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:08.839
<v Speaker 1>young man Silas, but you know, I think putting this

97
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:11.040
<v Speaker 1>alart in place to let everybodyway, hey, there's there's there's

98
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:13.000
<v Speaker 1>a child out there that that from a from a

99
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:16.600
<v Speaker 1>cognitive standpoint, Uh they they you know, let's give you

100
00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:20.639
<v Speaker 1>an example. If we're not monitoring my if we're not

101
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:22.959
<v Speaker 1>keeping an eye on our daughter in certain situations, I

102
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:24.399
<v Speaker 1>don't you know, it's rare for her to just kind

103
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:27.839
<v Speaker 1>of wonder off. But she wouldn't have the capacity mentally

104
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:30.240
<v Speaker 1>to like understand, Okay, there's there's a car coming, I

105
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:32.920
<v Speaker 1>need to move just things like that. So you know,

106
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:35.439
<v Speaker 1>the more things we do to advocate for special needs children,

107
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:38.800
<v Speaker 1>obviously I'm all for. And the more we can educate

108
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:41.560
<v Speaker 1>people as to why these things are in place, uh is,

109
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:44.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it can only help. But yeah, just I

110
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:46.319
<v Speaker 1>just one are the chances that a year after this

111
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:49.319
<v Speaker 1>is in place, that it's used and just a tragic outcome.

112
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:52.399
<v Speaker 1>So thoughts and prayers with not only the family of

113
00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:54.680
<v Speaker 1>this of this young boy, but also just that community.

114
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:57.839
<v Speaker 1>Just sad situation all the way around. But again, if

115
00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:00.759
<v Speaker 1>you're somebody that was annoyed by those those alerts that

116
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:03.199
<v Speaker 1>go off, also the amber alerts that go off, like

117
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:05.639
<v Speaker 1>I get it, I understand, but if you just for

118
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:09.199
<v Speaker 1>like a millisecond, stop and think about sort of I'm

119
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:10.920
<v Speaker 1>not even asking you to put yourself in the shoes

120
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:13.680
<v Speaker 1>of those people, but just if you consider why that

121
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:17.279
<v Speaker 1>is in place, I think you'd be a real be

122
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:20.480
<v Speaker 1>a real scumbag to think that like that that's not

123
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:22.920
<v Speaker 1>worth having. It is worth having and it could help

124
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:25.000
<v Speaker 1>save lives. And obviously that didn't happen yesterday, but it

125
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.800
<v Speaker 1>doesn't change the fact that this is something that is

126
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:31.279
<v Speaker 1>needed and I'm happy that it exists. But yeah, just awful,

127
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:35.600
<v Speaker 1>awful situation. Heartbreaking in Heart County. All right, let's get

128
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:37.680
<v Speaker 1>an update on traffag and weather. Also what I want

129
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:39.680
<v Speaker 1>to talk about on the other side, I did some research,

130
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:41.600
<v Speaker 1>believe it or not, folks, I prepare for this show,

131
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:46.079
<v Speaker 1>and I found a really good breakdown of where Louisville

132
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:50.639
<v Speaker 1>compares with other cities in different things as far as

133
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:55.639
<v Speaker 1>demographic average income, that kind of stuff. And I think

134
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:59.519
<v Speaker 1>some of these findings were surprising to me. Maybe they'll

135
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:01.680
<v Speaker 1>be surprising. We'll get to that and a lot more again,

136
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:03.839
<v Speaker 1>traving weather updates come in your way. Another update of

137
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:06.240
<v Speaker 1>sports on the way in about fifteen minutes or so

138
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:10.199
<v Speaker 1>right here on New's Radio eight forty whas. So, there's

139
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:15.600
<v Speaker 1>new evidence that has come from unsealed court documents following

140
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:19.160
<v Speaker 1>the Crystal Rogers murder trial, of course, that led to

141
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:23.560
<v Speaker 1>her former boyfriend Brooks Howt and his accomplice being convicted

142
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:27.920
<v Speaker 1>found guilty. And I think it's really just a no

143
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:31.240
<v Speaker 1>brainer if you have followed this and heard some of

144
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:33.360
<v Speaker 1>the things that were said right after the guilty verdict

145
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:36.879
<v Speaker 1>last week, that this is likely not over and if

146
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:41.839
<v Speaker 1>law enforcement, if they've got if, if they've got anything to

147
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:43.759
<v Speaker 1>say about it, they'll probably they're not gonna leave this alone.

148
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:45.600
<v Speaker 1>There's gonna be more. I mean, the reason that Brooks

149
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:48.399
<v Speaker 1>Hawk's brother Nick and his mother Rosemary Hawk were listed

150
00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:52.000
<v Speaker 1>as co conspirator unindicted co conspirators is because there's clearly

151
00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:55.160
<v Speaker 1>some evidence they have that suggest that they were involved,

152
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:58.160
<v Speaker 1>now enough to actually bring formal charges. That kind of

153
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:00.360
<v Speaker 1>stuff that remains to be seen, but it certainly wouldn't

154
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:02.639
<v Speaker 1>shock me. And if you are Rosemary Hawk or Nick Hawk,

155
00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:05.160
<v Speaker 1>I imagine you probably are pretty you've probably been worried

156
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:08.959
<v Speaker 1>for years about that. But what we now know after

157
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:13.040
<v Speaker 1>the core documents have been unsealed, it's again it's just

158
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:17.319
<v Speaker 1>more so focusing on mother and brother. They weren't just bystandards,

159
00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:20.720
<v Speaker 1>they were again co conspirators allegedly in the plot to

160
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:24.720
<v Speaker 1>take this woman's life. So in some of this stuff,

161
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:26.800
<v Speaker 1>I feel like is what we could have already knew.

162
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:31.360
<v Speaker 1>But Rosemary Hawk, Brook's mother, she showed Zero's cell phone

163
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:37.200
<v Speaker 1>activity from June sixteenth to August fourth, so the timeframe

164
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:40.240
<v Speaker 1>when Rogers disappeared. Prosecutors of course say that's because she

165
00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:43.120
<v Speaker 1>was using a different phone, a burner phone, which apparently

166
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:47.600
<v Speaker 1>law enforcement was never able to recover. So again not proof,

167
00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:50.799
<v Speaker 1>but highly suspicious. No cell phone activity from your actual phone,

168
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:53.320
<v Speaker 1>and you had a burner and nobody knows where it is.

169
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:57.440
<v Speaker 1>And of course the behavior from Nick Hawk turning his

170
00:08:57.519 --> 00:08:59.559
<v Speaker 1>phone off for over twenty four hours around the time

171
00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:01.879
<v Speaker 1>Rogers vanished and didn't come home that night. His girlfriend,

172
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:04.759
<v Speaker 1>of course, she testified that that was unusual and very

173
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:06.600
<v Speaker 1>out of character for him to just not be reachable

174
00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:09.759
<v Speaker 1>and not have his phone. But he also called Brooks

175
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:12.200
<v Speaker 1>during that police interviews, as you know, and was urging

176
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:17.080
<v Speaker 1>him to stop talking. And I mean, that's, honestly, that's

177
00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:20.879
<v Speaker 1>evidence of obstruction more than anything. But yeah, I know,

178
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:26.159
<v Speaker 1>despite them still being free as of right now, I

179
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:28.080
<v Speaker 1>bet they're nervous and I would be too if I

180
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:29.840
<v Speaker 1>was them. All Right, we got an update of tracking

181
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:32.320
<v Speaker 1>and weather coming your way. I'm sure there's some stoppages

182
00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:33.919
<v Speaker 1>out there. In fact, I just saw what looked to

183
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:35.799
<v Speaker 1>be a traffic jam on our screen in front of

184
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:38.759
<v Speaker 1>us here from the Woky Morning News, and I didn't

185
00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:40.279
<v Speaker 1>see where it was, but I'm sure Bobby Ellisa get

186
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:42.120
<v Speaker 1>you updated. Also, we'll get an update on the forecast.

187
00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:44.440
<v Speaker 1>In sports, we'll talk some sports coming up with Scot

188
00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:49.039
<v Speaker 1>Fitzgerald right here on news radio eight forty whas. Thank

189
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:51.360
<v Speaker 1>you very much, John Shannon. It is six thirty five

190
00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:54.679
<v Speaker 1>here on a Wednesday morning, a wet Wednesday. To get started,

191
00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:57.799
<v Speaker 1>I said this at the beginning of our show when

192
00:09:57.799 --> 00:10:00.320
<v Speaker 1>we got started at five am, that those of you

193
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:02.320
<v Speaker 1>that don't set your alarm clock as early as we do,

194
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:05.320
<v Speaker 1>you probably had an alarm clock go off anyway with

195
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:08.960
<v Speaker 1>the thunder. I don't know, and I'm sure it's different everywhere,

196
00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:12.240
<v Speaker 1>and I feel like, for whatever reason, recently there's been

197
00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:15.080
<v Speaker 1>more examples of you could be within a few miles

198
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:17.080
<v Speaker 1>of someone here in Louisville and they could have much

199
00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:21.320
<v Speaker 1>different conditions outside than you have. But anyhow, the wet

200
00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:24.879
<v Speaker 1>roadways has caused some traffic this morning, so just be

201
00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:27.600
<v Speaker 1>advised and we'll get another update on that traffic coming

202
00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:29.559
<v Speaker 1>up here in about four minutes or so. But again,

203
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:32.360
<v Speaker 1>it's nasty to get the day started, all right. So

204
00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:36.480
<v Speaker 1>we found out another update on what happened at the

205
00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Exposition Center on Sunday with Kentucky Kingdom and the Exposition

206
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:42.879
<v Speaker 1>Center where the basketball tournament was going on, having reports

207
00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:45.159
<v Speaker 1>of an active aggressor law enforcement showing up to of

208
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:49.000
<v Speaker 1>course deal with that the way that they that they do. Clearly,

209
00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:51.559
<v Speaker 1>there was real fear with everyone, and it's great to

210
00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:54.120
<v Speaker 1>know that there was no danger. Nobody had a gun,

211
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:58.559
<v Speaker 1>and really nothing actually happened other than panic and chaos

212
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:02.919
<v Speaker 1>spreading like wildfire. And I believe that that's more than anything,

213
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:07.240
<v Speaker 1>just a product of we now know of it that

214
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:11.240
<v Speaker 1>that happens. I mean, it happens seemingly more often than

215
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:13.159
<v Speaker 1>it ever has as far as just those type of

216
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:15.879
<v Speaker 1>things where somebody shows up with a gun and start

217
00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:18.679
<v Speaker 1>shooting people. So what we heard yesterday was that a

218
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:22.120
<v Speaker 1>ceiling tile fell from the from the seal from the

219
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:24.320
<v Speaker 1>ceiling onto a metal chair, and at the same time

220
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:26.720
<v Speaker 1>that happened, there was a woman with a medical emergency,

221
00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:31.840
<v Speaker 1>and those two things happening that combo essentially led to

222
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:35.519
<v Speaker 1>people just panicking, and again it spread like wildfire as

223
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:37.879
<v Speaker 1>far as just everybody assuming the worst, because you can

224
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:40.639
<v Speaker 1>never take those things lightly and that's a scary situation.

225
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:42.759
<v Speaker 1>So now what we know is that it wasn't a

226
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:46.360
<v Speaker 1>ceiling tile that fell, and we may never find out

227
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:49.639
<v Speaker 1>what actually happened yesterday. Mary Greenberg did say that the

228
00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:52.840
<v Speaker 1>information regarding a ceiling tile falling and creating a loud

229
00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:56.000
<v Speaker 1>noise hitting a metal chair is just not accurate. That's

230
00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:00.039
<v Speaker 1>not what actually happened. So right now we do you

231
00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:02.720
<v Speaker 1>know that The Kentucky Venues later confirmed that our fire

232
00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:05.080
<v Speaker 1>alarm did go off inside parts of the building that

233
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:08.120
<v Speaker 1>was triggered by a duct smoked sensor, but clarified that

234
00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:10.639
<v Speaker 1>the system only alerts for smoke, not other emergencies. But again,

235
00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:12.519
<v Speaker 1>people that are there don't know that, meaning if they

236
00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:15.960
<v Speaker 1>hear a fire alarm going off and that's happening around

237
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:19.679
<v Speaker 1>the same time for some reason, there was somebody thinking

238
00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:21.639
<v Speaker 1>that there was an active aggressor and maybe somebody had

239
00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:24.120
<v Speaker 1>a gun. That's how it turns into you know, it

240
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:26.000
<v Speaker 1>goes from zero to one hundred quickly as far as

241
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:29.720
<v Speaker 1>just panic, but there's no clear cause and LMPD is

242
00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:32.919
<v Speaker 1>acknowledged they may never pinpoint what caused the initial panic,

243
00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:36.240
<v Speaker 1>but emphasized how quickly, again, fear of a shooting can

244
00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:39.000
<v Speaker 1>spark that kind of chaos. On the talkback feature yesterday,

245
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:41.639
<v Speaker 1>there were people acknowledging that, wait, a second ceiling tile,

246
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:44.279
<v Speaker 1>there's no ceiling tiles to fall, and they were right,

247
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:51.039
<v Speaker 1>So just an unfortunate random situation more than anything. All right,

248
00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:53.480
<v Speaker 1>before we get to our next update on traffic and weather,

249
00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:56.639
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned this a moment ago. I've got a breakdown

250
00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:00.679
<v Speaker 1>here that tells us what Louisville, who Louisville compares to

251
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:03.519
<v Speaker 1>as far as other cities when it comes to certain

252
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:09.360
<v Speaker 1>things like demographic, population, growth, industry. And I'm going to

253
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:11.799
<v Speaker 1>roll through a handful of these throughout the morning here,

254
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:15.759
<v Speaker 1>and we'll start with Louisville who they're most comparable with

255
00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:18.799
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to cost of living. Wouldn't have guessed this,

256
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:25.480
<v Speaker 1>but good info. Oklahoma City very similar housing costs, groceries, transportation,

257
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:29.639
<v Speaker 1>and healthcare both are ten percent below the US average.

258
00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:35.919
<v Speaker 1>And when it comes to the overall the overall cost

259
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:39.039
<v Speaker 1>of living, Louisville is about four point six percent cheaper

260
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:43.000
<v Speaker 1>than Oklahoma City when excluding rent costs. When it comes

261
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:47.720
<v Speaker 1>to the let's see, there's another data, another piece of

262
00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:51.240
<v Speaker 1>data here that says Louisville is zero point six percent

263
00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:55.240
<v Speaker 1>less expensive overall when it comes to housing. It says

264
00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:59.519
<v Speaker 1>here that the Best Places, which is a platform that

265
00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:01.840
<v Speaker 1>look this kind of stuff, when it comes to housing costs,

266
00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:05.399
<v Speaker 1>they indicate that Louisvill's housing costs are a significant driver,

267
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:08.879
<v Speaker 1>about twenty three to twenty five percent higher than in

268
00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:11.759
<v Speaker 1>Oklahoma City. So when it comes to food and groceries,

269
00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:14.559
<v Speaker 1>they're both very comparable as far as what the cost

270
00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:18.639
<v Speaker 1>of that is. So I would never think of okac

271
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:21.039
<v Speaker 1>as a city that I would compare Louisville to. And

272
00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:23.879
<v Speaker 1>again maybe that's the only comparison, meaning cost of living,

273
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:27.000
<v Speaker 1>but I don't really know. I guess if I've never

274
00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:28.399
<v Speaker 1>been to a city, it's tough for me to say

275
00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:33.240
<v Speaker 1>what I would compare if I've never been there, Its

276
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:34.600
<v Speaker 1>hard for me to say what I've compared to obviously

277
00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:37.039
<v Speaker 1>because i'n't experienced it. But I think most people around

278
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:39.879
<v Speaker 1>here that group that have been born and raised in Louislle,

279
00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:41.799
<v Speaker 1>and maybe you haven't visited a lot of other cities

280
00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:44.720
<v Speaker 1>similar to Louisville. I mean, Cincinnati to me has always

281
00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:46.720
<v Speaker 1>felt like a city that is that is very similar

282
00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:49.399
<v Speaker 1>to us in a lot of ways. They're bigger than

283
00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:53.399
<v Speaker 1>we are, and they clearly have pro sports teams, and

284
00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:57.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, we obviously don't other than the Racing Louisville Club.

285
00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:00.840
<v Speaker 1>But again, we'll get to some of these throughout the morning,

286
00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:03.799
<v Speaker 1>because I think it may surprise you which cities are

287
00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:09.039
<v Speaker 1>similar to Louisville in different you know, in different factors, lifestyle, culture,

288
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:15.200
<v Speaker 1>crime rate. So I've always heard Portland, Oregon is similar

289
00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:18.120
<v Speaker 1>to Louisville, and I've never been to Portland, and I

290
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:20.399
<v Speaker 1>can tell you of the ten different factors here in

291
00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:23.639
<v Speaker 1>this breakdown, Portland's not listed once. And I don't know,

292
00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:26.000
<v Speaker 1>maybe I'm wrong, but I kind of feel like right now,

293
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:28.759
<v Speaker 1>if we were being compared to Portland, I don't think

294
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:30.679
<v Speaker 1>that would be a compliment, but maybe they would say

295
00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:32.639
<v Speaker 1>the same about us. I don't know, all right. What

296
00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:34.240
<v Speaker 1>I do know is we've got an update of traffic

297
00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:36.320
<v Speaker 1>coming your way with Bobby Ellis, who get us caught

298
00:15:36.360 --> 00:15:38.840
<v Speaker 1>up on what the wet roadways are causing out there

299
00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:42.200
<v Speaker 1>as far as traffic, Mamlosovich with the latest forecast, and

300
00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:44.039
<v Speaker 1>again we'll keep it rolling right here on News Radio

301
00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:49.320
<v Speaker 1>eight forty whis. Maybe it's just me, but it seems

302
00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:53.360
<v Speaker 1>as if at every step Trump and his team are

303
00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:57.759
<v Speaker 1>fueling more suspicion rather than providing any real transparency to

304
00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:02.120
<v Speaker 1>explain the Epstein's situation with there being no client list

305
00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:06.759
<v Speaker 1>and indicating there's really no conspiracy. That's one aspect of it.

306
00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:09.679
<v Speaker 1>The other is just either trying to speak something into

307
00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:13.960
<v Speaker 1>existence or just being completely out of touch and unable

308
00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:16.919
<v Speaker 1>to read the room. Because Trump continuing to say that

309
00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:20.399
<v Speaker 1>nobody cares, I mean, he's just clearly wrong. And I

310
00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:22.720
<v Speaker 1>think even if you are somebody that doesn't care and

311
00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:27.240
<v Speaker 1>you believe what has been presented to us as that's

312
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:29.279
<v Speaker 1>just the way it is, and that's what they determined

313
00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:31.720
<v Speaker 1>and you don't question it at all, even if that

314
00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:34.200
<v Speaker 1>is where you are, I think you would have to

315
00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:37.519
<v Speaker 1>agree if you try to check the pulls of society

316
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:40.679
<v Speaker 1>as best we can, that there are clearly many that

317
00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:43.440
<v Speaker 1>don't don't buy it. And I think if you're somebody

318
00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:48.159
<v Speaker 1>that wants to be able to shoot down any conspiracy

319
00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:51.200
<v Speaker 1>theories out there about this situation, I don't think you've

320
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:53.600
<v Speaker 1>been giving anything that gives you the ability to just say, okay,

321
00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:55.399
<v Speaker 1>well all right, well that makes sense now, I mean,

322
00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:58.279
<v Speaker 1>nothing really seems to make sense. And another factor is

323
00:16:58.600 --> 00:17:01.559
<v Speaker 1>the video that was released last week, and I am

324
00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:04.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm almost stunned by this because people who you know,

325
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:08.960
<v Speaker 1>are people that have positions that look at this stuff.

326
00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:13.480
<v Speaker 1>And I'm talking about those that are providing the video

327
00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:16.400
<v Speaker 1>of Epstein and letting us know, Hey, here you go.

328
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:19.839
<v Speaker 1>This is proof that nothing happened. When I mean, are

329
00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:22.680
<v Speaker 1>they unaware that or maybe they don't know, maybe they

330
00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:24.640
<v Speaker 1>weren't involved. But the video was edited, and that is

331
00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:29.559
<v Speaker 1>something that with metadata is actually pretty easy to determine.

332
00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:33.039
<v Speaker 1>I mean you can now. I mean there are I

333
00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:35.039
<v Speaker 1>think Wired dot Com is the first to put it

334
00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:38.759
<v Speaker 1>out there, but there's missing minutes in the video that

335
00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:43.920
<v Speaker 1>was shared according to the metadata and Adobe Premiere Pro,

336
00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:47.359
<v Speaker 1>which is a very common video editor. It's actually the

337
00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:50.440
<v Speaker 1>video editor that I use when I'm editing content, and

338
00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:52.759
<v Speaker 1>it's used by a lot of people. It's probably there's

339
00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:55.359
<v Speaker 1>a lot of different software is out there they can

340
00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:58.160
<v Speaker 1>do that, but I mean, metadata will even tell you

341
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:02.480
<v Speaker 1>that what software that it was edited in. So they

342
00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:05.240
<v Speaker 1>called it raw footage, the Justice Department did, but metadata

343
00:18:05.559 --> 00:18:07.960
<v Speaker 1>proves that that's not the case because the video was

344
00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:12.200
<v Speaker 1>stitched together using Adobe Premiere Pro software. It's two clips

345
00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:15.119
<v Speaker 1>that were combined and one was nearly three minutes longer

346
00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:19.559
<v Speaker 1>than what was published. So again there's just more fuel

347
00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:21.519
<v Speaker 1>of Okay, what's going on here? This doesn't make sense?

348
00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:24.759
<v Speaker 1>Like this screams cover up, And I'm not one to

349
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:27.319
<v Speaker 1>fake it and act like I'm losing sleep at night,

350
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:32.759
<v Speaker 1>but I'm becoming more fascinated. But just how deeper they

351
00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:36.400
<v Speaker 1>keep going and making it look almost unbelievable that they're

352
00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:40.480
<v Speaker 1>not covering something up, and not that I'm advocating for

353
00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:43.279
<v Speaker 1>covering up and doing it better, because you shouldn't cover up.

354
00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:47.839
<v Speaker 1>There's never anything wrong with providing transparency, and maybe they're

355
00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:51.680
<v Speaker 1>trying to spin it that, oh, this is transparency. There's

356
00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:54.480
<v Speaker 1>just nothing that happened. Well, there's a lot of inconsistencies

357
00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:59.279
<v Speaker 1>with the way Trump and his crew are handling this

358
00:18:59.319 --> 00:19:01.359
<v Speaker 1>now in the way they're discussing it compared to just

359
00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:06.119
<v Speaker 1>mere months ago. So I mean it the video, I mean,

360
00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:09.720
<v Speaker 1>that's proof that's not And what I mean is there's

361
00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:12.400
<v Speaker 1>proof that it was edited. There's proof that it wasn't

362
00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:17.440
<v Speaker 1>raw footage. And I mean, I guess people can still

363
00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:20.240
<v Speaker 1>act like that's not the case, but it is. And

364
00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:24.079
<v Speaker 1>I just if you'd have told me a few weeks

365
00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:25.920
<v Speaker 1>ago that this would play out this way as far

366
00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:30.200
<v Speaker 1>as them providing raw footage. The Justice Department called this

367
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:32.480
<v Speaker 1>footage raw and then it being proven that it was not,

368
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:35.400
<v Speaker 1>I would just, you know, my gut reaction would be okay,

369
00:19:35.400 --> 00:19:37.079
<v Speaker 1>well they're going to have some explaining to do. Somebody's

370
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:39.680
<v Speaker 1>going to get fired. Clearly, this is like this was

371
00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:42.039
<v Speaker 1>a huge deal, and it's just one of the many

372
00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:45.680
<v Speaker 1>things that continue to make this look clearly as if

373
00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:49.720
<v Speaker 1>there's something being covered up. And last I checked, who

374
00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:52.440
<v Speaker 1>wants to be the guy or gal or the leader

375
00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:56.000
<v Speaker 1>covering up for people who were involved in a child

376
00:19:56.200 --> 00:19:59.960
<v Speaker 1>sex trafficking ring. I mean, this thing is is continue.

377
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:01.559
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's only going to get worse as far

378
00:20:01.599 --> 00:20:05.559
<v Speaker 1>as just people demanding transparency and wanting to know what

379
00:20:05.599 --> 00:20:07.440
<v Speaker 1>really happened, what are you covering up and who are

380
00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:09.640
<v Speaker 1>you covering it up for? But as far as will

381
00:20:09.640 --> 00:20:11.519
<v Speaker 1>we get any update, I don't know that remains to

382
00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:13.799
<v Speaker 1>be seen. All Right, We've got an update of traving
