Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, Welcome in.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It is Kentucky and his morning news, coffee and company
with you here on news Radio eight forty whas we
are fuel BYU Thorton's As we get this Tuesday start
at five oh six on a rainy morning here at
least it is in downtown Louisville. I didn't hit any
rain other than maybe for about a couple miles on
sixty five North, but obviously it rained overnight rain and
(00:22):
downtown it looks like as of right now, so be safe.
I know the rain can of course cause some delays
and cause some accidents too. We can have accidents around
here with no rain at all. It happens. But right
now it does look like there is a crash on
the Waterson East ramps from I seventy one, So from
what I can tell, it's not causing any real issues
(00:44):
at this point, but just be mindful. Not as many
people on the roadway this early, so with that they
got some time to get some things cleaned up. But
we'll keep you updated throughout the morning. That's kind of
what we do, right traffic, weather updates. You'll you'll get
those throughout the morning. That's what you've come to know
and expect that'll be no different today and a lot
of other things to get into it is myself, Nick Coffee,
Scott Fitzgerald alongside John Shannon.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
He's with us as.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Well, and uh yeah, the rain is on the way,
the cool temperatures are on the way, and dare I say,
I'm I'm I'm not bothered by it.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
No, it's a good thing, dude. It's it's gonna start
to feel like fall again. It's gonna feel great, it's
gonna be cold. Break out the hoodies. In fact, that
was hoodie and shorts, right. I was in that in
between No Man's Land this morning, because I believe it
or not, even when it rains, it's still trying to
go out Shelby Park and get my steps in. I mean,
you're just throwing an umbrella. If it's not raining crazy hard,
you can get them in. I'm trying to figure out, man,
(01:36):
do I need the hoodie? Am I gonna be cold?
Am I gonna be cool? Because I was used to
it being so hot.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
So I've made a decision, Scott, I want it on
the record. I'm doing it.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Moving forward to Tooty tooty and shorts. Let it be known.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Send out the press release. Hoodie and Shorts is uh
is it's the most comfortable and casual, very easy. I
mean it's it's there's nothing better, right because shorts give
you this, you know, you get a sense of freedom
a little bit, and when it comes to needing enough
clothing on to be able to be unbothered when it
(02:09):
does get maybe a little chilly or maybe you know,
whenever you're not like Hoodie's comfy.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
You know what I'm saying, Hoodie.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
You know, sometimes if it's out, if the sun's beaming
down and it's you know, eighty five or hotter outside,
a hoodie can be can be questionable. But like hoodie
and shorts, like it could be sixty nine to seventy
three degrees and if it's not super sunny, it's still
pretty comfortable.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Absolutely. Do you have like the one go to? Like
I tweeted out this weekend, I had the one pair
of jeans, my favorite pair of jeans, and the one
shirt that just fits. It just fits right, it has
for five years. And I broke it out Sunday and
it was amazing. There's something, I know, the feeling, There's
something to be said for that dude, that those clothes
just fit, right?
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Is that?
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Is that something that that happens with age maturity? Because
I can tell you what when it comes to clothing,
I mean, I'm not the most fashionable guy out there,
but more than anything, I go for how something fits me. Absolutely,
that's pretty obvious, right. People want to wear clothes that fit,
not clothes that are too small or too tight. But
we all know our size. We all know what size
(03:10):
jeans we're getting when we need a new pair of demims.
We know what t shirt size to go with, what
size when it comes to a polo or a button
up shirt.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
But they all don't.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Fit the same, No, they don't.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
They're all created the same.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
No.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
And it's not even just about fits. It's how it
straight up just feels. And the clothes that I broke
out there.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
But if that's well, you're comfortable and then you're you know,
it's best both worlds, dude.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
That's amazing. That is an amazing feeling.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Then I just plopped my button my chair and my
daughter was over with the puppy and he climbed up
my lat man. That's those are good days, man, Those
make worth working so hard. All during the week, but
you don't appreciate him much.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Work hard during the week.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
That's right, all right, So we've got a busy, busy
morning for you. We are now in today's seven of
the government shut down. As yesterday, the Senate fails again
to pass funding bills. So we are now weekend and
it look like there's any end in sight. But like
a lot of things, at any moment, things can change,
and there's a lot of things I'm sure going on
behind the scenes that a lot of us have no
(04:04):
clue about. But again that'll continue to be a story
that we follow. Also, another another bad story as far
as just the optics, when it comes to JCPS, they're
warning of a two point five billion, I guess two
point five billion dollars in maintenance needs. And that's you know,
(04:25):
that's that's not exactly a great thing to hear whenever
you I mean, I'm rereading this to make sure I'm
not I'm not that's somebody that somebody didn't accidentally put
a B before the end, because there's a big difference,
but one hundred and eighty eight million dollar deficit as
it is, and then you hear something like this, it's
just it kind of seems like it when it rains,
it pours, right, no pun intended, but it's it's just been.
(04:47):
It's been a rough It really been a rough few
years for JCPS, to say the least. But it just
seems like each and every day there's something else that
just makes you worried about the longevity of that entity.
I mean, again, the system, school system's not going to
shut down away, but I mean never say it, because
it's an invitation for it to actually get worse. But
there have been some moments, I'm sure, especially if you're
(05:08):
in the PR department over there, you think to yourself, well,
at least it can't get any worse than this. Again,
you don't say that out loud because that's an invitation
for it to do exactly that.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
But again, we're loaded.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Today and I'm looking up here, and I did stay
up and see its stayed way too late. But it
was a great finish between the Jags and the Chiefs
and Liam Cohen being a UKOC two times over a
three year period and now being a guy that is
putting together a really really good debut season as an
NFL head coach. I don't really know what that says
about Mark Stoops to be honest with you, because I'm
(05:39):
not really sure if Liam Cohen never really wanted to
stay there, but he joins a long list of guys
that are successful more so when they're not working with
Mark Stoops, and that can't be ignored as far as
the outlier when it comes to the offensive issues that
have really been with Kentucky football ninety five percent of
(06:00):
the time he's been there.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Well, it's an ironic juxtaposition.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
We had the Butch Hampden storyline and then all of
a sudden, here comes Liam Cohen and they knock off
the Kansas City.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yeah, I mean, he's got them rolling. They're four and
one on the year and looking like a looking like
a good football team. Right, good stuff. Let's get to
a quick break. We'll get you caught up on the
traffic updates out there. Also, we've got the forecast for
you from WLKY. It is Kentucky and his morning news
Coffee and Company with you Field by Thornton's on news
Radio eight forty Whas it's five eighteen here on a
(06:31):
Tuesday morning, Coffee and Company Field Beth Thornton's on news
radio eight forty whas. So there was a powerball winner
that was sold in Louisville here recently, last few days,
I believe, and it's a fifty thousand dollars winner, and
I just happen to see here. The winning ticket sold
at Thornton's nice one O five Preston Highway, which is
(06:53):
actually my Thorntons. I mean, I don't it's not mine.
Other people go there too, but it's the one I
am in every morning, was there this morning, So I mean,
there's no way to know if that's going to happen
to you, but I'm just saying it. It wouldn't shock
me if they just keep rolling out winners at Thornton's.
That's kind of what they do. So we hope that
you support those who support us, keep them in mind
when you want to get your day started, and right now,
(07:15):
it could be something you're not even aware of, but
a donut and a cup of coffee could be the
exact thing you need to get your day started. Well
right now, you can get that for just three bucks.
So again we are fueled by Thornton's here. So the
government shutdown has moved into today seven today, and they
failed to pass either of the two measures to fund
the government, marking the fourth failed votes since Friday. Both
(07:37):
fallen short of that required sixty votes, so Speaker Mike
Johnson announced the House will not return to Washington this week,
maintaining that the House has already done its job in
his mind, by passing its version of the funding bill.
So we'll see where this goes from here. But that
is the update that once again they failed to pass
either two measures and following many votes short at seams
(08:00):
and fourth time since Friday. So again it's pretty simple
at this point. I would imagine that you know, behind
the scenes, there's like it's a constant thing as far
as resources and energy to try to keep this from continuing,
because you know, you don't want the government to be
shut down.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
But I really don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I mean, that's just one of those things that I
clearly not something I have any involvement in or any
any access to information. I'm just of the assumption that
it's round the clock. But when you are at a standstill,
and that's really what this is, I mean, maybe maybe
it's the exact opposite.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Well, they used to shut it down. They used it
as a tactic posturing. If you will Yes, you used
to shut it down and they bring it right back.
And now this thing's going on a little bit long.
By the way, that's the best word to use. There's
Scott Posto lastream.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Right, and now it's going on a little longer.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
And as you're HEARDing ABC's news report, and I think
you had made some mention to it too. The longer
this thing goes, we're gonna start tapping into programs that
are vital for people.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
So no doubt about it.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Memo to everybody on the right and left, get it done.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
And if we ever then at a point where they're
there there there could be who knows if this is
the case. So I don't want to speak it into existence,
but I think right now, given the current timing and
just the temperature of things, I don't know if I
can't think of a time where there'd ever be resistance
quite like right now to concede, if that makes sense,
(09:18):
and and be the one that you know that does
cave to the other to get you know, to to
you know, do what what what you should be in position,
like the reason you're in the position that you're in
should be because you want to do what's right.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
For the for people, for the American people. But uh
I would.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I mean, look, it's right there in front of our face.
Seemingly every day that that has that has faded as
far as the top priority as far as just being
consistently in your in your frame of mind, as far
as why you're making decisions, why you're doing what you're doing.
We got a lot of I think seventh grade fighting
going on between between sides right now. So anyhow, let's
(09:54):
let's get to another quick update of traffic and whether
we've also got another uh sports update coming your way
this morning. Scott will get back with us on sports
just a few minutes and looking forward to that, so
stick with us again. It's a Tuesday, five twenty one
here at news radio eight forty whas. Thank you very much,
John Shannon, five thirty five here on a Tuesday morning,
News Radio eight forty whas.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Appreciate you hanging out with us.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
So things getting worse for Mark Sanchez as a story
that I think instantly became oh man, Mark Sanchez, former
NFLQB in Town and Indie to call the game to
be a part of the Fox broadcast. I mean, part
of it was how it was shared. But I'll admit,
first first thing I saw was that he was stabbed.
(10:39):
I just assumed that there was some type of, you know, situation,
potentially robbery. Maybe I'm wrong for just assuming that, but
you would assume that someone like Mark Sanchez wouldn't be out,
you know, being the perpetrator in a situation that led
to a violent interaction between two people. But it sounds
like that is that is what's happened here, because we
now have seen the photos of the other guy, right,
(11:04):
the sixty nine year old man who looks as if
he got the living crap eat out of him. I mean,
he looks like he's holding on for dear life. I
don't believe it's that severe. But now there are felony
charges for Mark Sanchez. It went from being misdemeanor charges
to now being felonies because of just the severity of
(11:24):
what took place. And it does sound as although there
may be some type of an excuse for it never
getting to that level, but I just I can't imagine
that the hearing aid situation and Sanchez clearly being very
hammer drunk that had to be the key factor in
this turning into what it turned into.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Yeah, I mean, and it's so sad, Nick, when you
see instance like this happen and you know you were
involved in it.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
I won't go too deep.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Into the weeds here and put you on the spot,
but you were involved in incident earlier too, kind of
took place in the public eye.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
And it's just sad when things like that have happened.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
And you know, I'm sure Sanchez was had a budding,
you know, post football career. He obviously put a little
bit in the NFL. Things were rolling along, he was
he certainly wasn't making chump change. And now my man,
not only is he being sued, he's out of a job,
probably will never work again, and his life has all
been turned over because of something. And I'm not blaming
the alcohol, per sae for this, but I am kind
(12:21):
of in a way, if that makes sense, just because
on a split decision, he made a bad choice.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
And that's that's how fast life can pivot on people.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
And you should never put yourself in a position where
and I'm not I'm not giving him any kind of
an out, but i mean the video footage of him
stumbling around downtown Indy that I saw this morning for
the first time. I mean, he may not have even known.
I mean, clearly he didn't know what choice he was making.
But that's his fault for letting clearly letting his alcohol
get in the way.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
But that's why everybody, it's so important seek help if
you know someone that needs.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Help, or you see this on the outside.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
And I say this only because alcoholism is running our
family and I saw my father go through I saw
my grandfather go through it. You know, if you see
somebody that needs help. I'm sure that maybe Sanchez didn't
give signs off that he had issues with alcohol. Maybe
he did, and maybe folks tried to get him help.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
I mean, you never know.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Maybe maybe he's someone that you know, I know nothing
about him, but maybe he's somebody that rarely ever does drink.
And then you know he was, Ye he was because
him coming around a corner. It's only about what I'm
looking at here. I think it was The New York
of the New York Post that that obtained the security
footage in downtown Endy of him, of him walking, and
(13:34):
I guess you could say that he's stumbling because of
the physical altercation, but also you know, he's he just
he looks as if he's stumbled. I mean, we've all
seen somebody walking as if they've had a little too
many and they could just fall over at any moment. Again,
now maybe because he genuinely was was stabbed, but yeah,
the prosecutor in Marion County says that they have upgraded
(13:58):
the charges to a felony felony battery because of the
serious bodily injury that took place on Saturday. I guess
it was more so Sunday. Sunday morning.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Received an amended or an additional probable cause affidavit this morning. Again,
this is something that happens in virtually every case here
in Marion County, and with that additional information, we have
added more serious charges against mister Sanchez. At this point
in time, we have filed a felon HRGE, a level
five felony of battery involving serious bodily injury, which contains
(14:31):
a penalty of one to six years. One of the
things that I want to stress to everybody is that
we are still in the early stages of this investigation.
Chief and his team have a number of search warrants
that are still outstanding. They're still tracking down additional information.
This is by no means the in the end of
this investigation of this, by no means means that these
(14:52):
are going to be the final charges that we move
forward with.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
So again always important to keep in mind what was
said there by the prosecutor Ryan Meres and in County
that they now can see the serious injury because again
it's misdemeanor. Now they see the severity of this man's injuries,
then it's been upgraded to felony. But they're still going
to investigate. And wouldn't shock me if there's a defense
from the sanchest side that the reason it was such
(15:17):
a beating is because of he had legitimate reason in
his mind to fear that his life was in danger.
And that's where it gets tricky as far as just
he said she said. But with all that said, you
got to wonder if Booze wasn't involved to the level
that it was, maybe none of this ends up happening.
But yeah, just a rough situation. And if you have
yet to see the photos of the man that's in
(15:38):
the hospital, of the sixty nine year old man, I mean,
if you got a week's stomach, I would stay away.
It's rough, rough stuff. All right, let's get to a
quick update of traffic and weather. Again, we have had
some incidents early on. I don't believe those incidents have
caused any real major issues, but we will soon find out.
We've got in fact, right now, looks like we got
another crash that has taken place here at I sixty
(15:59):
four west, that Hirstborn Parkway. So the roadways are wet,
and that of course can lead to accident. So stay
safe everybody, and we'll get you caught up throughout the
morning with those roadways as well as the forecast right
here on News Radio eight forty. Whas company with you
here on News Radio eight forty whas Field Thorntons appreciate
you hanging out with us on a wet Tuesday morning.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Let's bring in Rory O'Neil of NBC News.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
So, Rory, Tuesday marks the second anniversary of the day
Hamas attacked Israel, starting a war that of course has
claimed tens of thousands of lives. As we sit here
two years later, how much has changed when it comes
to Gaza, Israel, and just the world overall.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
Here, Yeah, it's a lot to sum up.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
But in Gaza itself, there's been an awful lot of
destruction by Israeli forces, taking out so many buildings while
trying to hunt down the Hamas terrorists who are hiding
in them, often under them as well. So it's been
a big military operation that's gotten a lot of support
from the US tax payer, to the tune of about
(17:01):
twenty seven billion dollars that we've provided in military support
for Israel to conduct this operation. There are talks underway
again today with representatives of the Trump administration, Hamas and Israel.
They're calling them indirect talks that are continuing. They started
yesterday in Egypt. So that's a glimmer of hope. But
(17:24):
still President Trump has said time is of the essence
trying to pressure Hamas to release the forty eight hostages
they're still holding.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
We think about twenty of them is still alive. Rory.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
We are now at a week here when it comes
to the government shut down, and from what I can tell,
it seems to be pretty simple. They've not yet been
able to get it figured out.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
And that's the update.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
It doesn't seem as if there appears to be any
real wavering on either side right now.
Speaker 7 (17:50):
No, and not a lot of talking either you know,
I think we're still in the honeymoon phase of this
where it hasn't really hit a lot of people yet.
Speaker 6 (17:56):
But you know, we are.
Speaker 7 (17:58):
Starting to see these little things pop up here and there.
More and more air traffic control issues are developing, with
more air traffic controllers taking time off, sickouts, that kind
of thing, because they're on the job unpaid right now.
So as this, you know, Denver had hundreds of delays
yesterday in part because of air traffic control issues, and
as this continues to spread that maybe, you know, you know,
(18:21):
once we start feeling the effects of this, I think
there'll be more of an impetus to get to a deal.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Yeah, I can tell you what.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I'm just I'm just visualizing both sides with a oh,
we can do this all day. It's just like, you know,
we're good, We're there's there's not really any any sign
of anybody that's going to be conceding. But of course
maybe that changes once once the effects really starts to hit.
As you mentioned, that's already happening.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
Yeah, And as I mentioned too, I think earlier that
don't forget, members of Congress are frequent flyers themselves, so
typically That's what brought an end to the last shutdown
seven years ago, was the issues at air traffic control.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
Let's see if that does the trick again. Of course,
last time to thirty five days.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Yeah, we'll see if we get to that mark. Hopefully not.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
So Amazon Prime Day gets started today. And the scammers
they're good at what they do. They don't discriminate. There's
a sucker born every minute. What can you tell us
as far as what to be weary of here?
Speaker 7 (19:16):
Yeah, you know, there's a new survey out that finds
Americans are targeted for scams more than anyone else on earth,
about one hundred scam attempts per month.
Speaker 6 (19:26):
That's like three a day, right on average.
Speaker 7 (19:28):
I mean, so that's a lot of them comes through
our cell phones, by the way, which has been an
emerging way to try to reach out and han someone.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
But yeah, this also comes at a time when so
many of us.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
Are having one eye on the Amazon page today to see,
oh maybe I need one of those as a lot
of items deep discount ahead of the holidays. You know,
this could be about a twenty billion dollars a couple
of days in sales for Amazon. The advice, of course,
being you know, look who's the seller is. Make sure
they are highly rated, you know, especially if it's something
that you don't normally per just from that seller, because
(20:01):
don't forget you know, Amazon is a big seller on Amazon,
but they really are a platform for a lot of individuals,
small companies, small businesses to do some of their sales.
So make sure you check exactly who you're buying items from,
even when shopping on Amazon.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Rory, as always, we appreciate your time, Enjoy the rest
of your day. We'll talk tomorrow morning, my friend.
Speaker 6 (20:22):
Thanks Nick.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
That's Rory on Neil of NBC News.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Yes, I really enjoyed our conversation about Prime Day yesterday
because it really got me thinking that there are multiple
components to why this is so successful, some of them
being that it just when you see somebody on your
Facebook or Instagram sharing some kind of a deal they
got on Prime Day, You got somebody you run into
(20:45):
in the kitchen at the office talking about it's just
going to make you want to go looking for something
you don't really.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Need, because if you needed it, you'd buy it.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
But yeah, they know how to manipulate us, and they
have for a long time. And I don't say that
to discourage people from taking advantage saying this day like
you don't need anything more now because it's prime day
than you did last week. So all right, let's get
to a quick update of trafficking weather. It is a wet,
wet start to the morning. We already have what appears
(21:13):
to be some real issues that that crash at I
sixty four West at Hurstborne Parkway causing some real delays.
Looks like there's not a whole lot of movement there
as they're trying to get that cleaned up left shoulder
and left three lanes blocks, so be advised. We'll get
the latest from Bobby Ellis right here right now. Also
a sports a Day coming your way on News Radio
eight forty whas
Good morning, Welcome in.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It is Kentucky and his morning news, coffee and company
with you here on news Radio eight forty whas we
are fuel BYU Thorton's As we get this Tuesday start
at five oh six on a rainy morning here at
least it is in downtown Louisville. I didn't hit any
rain other than maybe for about a couple miles on
sixty five North, but obviously it rained overnight rain and
(00:22):
downtown it looks like as of right now, so be safe.
I know the rain can of course cause some delays
and cause some accidents too. We can have accidents around
here with no rain at all. It happens. But right
now it does look like there is a crash on
the Waterson East ramps from I seventy one, So from
what I can tell, it's not causing any real issues
(00:44):
at this point, but just be mindful. Not as many
people on the roadway this early, so with that they
got some time to get some things cleaned up. But
we'll keep you updated throughout the morning. That's kind of
what we do, right traffic, weather updates. You'll you'll get
those throughout the morning. That's what you've come to know
and expect that'll be no different today and a lot
of other things to get into it is myself, Nick Coffee,
Scott Fitzgerald alongside John Shannon.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
He's with us as.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Well, and uh yeah, the rain is on the way,
the cool temperatures are on the way, and dare I say,
I'm I'm I'm not bothered by it.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
No, it's a good thing, dude. It's it's gonna start
to feel like fall again. It's gonna feel great, it's
gonna be cold. Break out the hoodies. In fact, that
was hoodie and shorts, right. I was in that in
between No Man's Land this morning, because I believe it
or not, even when it rains, it's still trying to
go out Shelby Park and get my steps in. I mean,
you're just throwing an umbrella. If it's not raining crazy hard,
you can get them in. I'm trying to figure out, man,
(01:36):
do I need the hoodie? Am I gonna be cold?
Am I gonna be cool? Because I was used to
it being so hot.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
So I've made a decision, Scott, I want it on
the record. I'm doing it.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Moving forward to Tooty tooty and shorts. Let it be known.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Send out the press release. Hoodie and Shorts is uh
is it's the most comfortable and casual, very easy. I
mean it's it's there's nothing better, right because shorts give
you this, you know, you get a sense of freedom
a little bit, and when it comes to needing enough
clothing on to be able to be unbothered when it
(02:09):
does get maybe a little chilly or maybe you know,
whenever you're not like Hoodie's comfy.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
You know what I'm saying, Hoodie.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
You know, sometimes if it's out, if the sun's beaming
down and it's you know, eighty five or hotter outside,
a hoodie can be can be questionable. But like hoodie
and shorts, like it could be sixty nine to seventy
three degrees and if it's not super sunny, it's still
pretty comfortable.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Absolutely. Do you have like the one go to? Like
I tweeted out this weekend, I had the one pair
of jeans, my favorite pair of jeans, and the one
shirt that just fits. It just fits right, it has
for five years. And I broke it out Sunday and
it was amazing. There's something, I know, the feeling, There's
something to be said for that dude, that those clothes
just fit, right?
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Is that?
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Is that something that that happens with age maturity? Because
I can tell you what when it comes to clothing,
I mean, I'm not the most fashionable guy out there,
but more than anything, I go for how something fits me. Absolutely,
that's pretty obvious, right. People want to wear clothes that fit,
not clothes that are too small or too tight. But
we all know our size. We all know what size
(03:10):
jeans we're getting when we need a new pair of demims.
We know what t shirt size to go with, what
size when it comes to a polo or a button
up shirt.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
But they all don't.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Fit the same, No, they don't.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
They're all created the same.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
No.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
And it's not even just about fits. It's how it
straight up just feels. And the clothes that I broke
out there.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
But if that's well, you're comfortable and then you're you know,
it's best both worlds, dude.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
That's amazing. That is an amazing feeling.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Then I just plopped my button my chair and my
daughter was over with the puppy and he climbed up
my lat man. That's those are good days, man, Those
make worth working so hard. All during the week, but
you don't appreciate him much.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Work hard during the week.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
That's right, all right, So we've got a busy, busy
morning for you. We are now in today's seven of
the government shut down. As yesterday, the Senate fails again
to pass funding bills. So we are now weekend and
it look like there's any end in sight. But like
a lot of things, at any moment, things can change,
and there's a lot of things I'm sure going on
behind the scenes that a lot of us have no
(04:04):
clue about. But again that'll continue to be a story
that we follow. Also, another another bad story as far
as just the optics, when it comes to JCPS, they're
warning of a two point five billion, I guess two
point five billion dollars in maintenance needs. And that's you know,
(04:25):
that's that's not exactly a great thing to hear whenever
you I mean, I'm rereading this to make sure I'm
not I'm not that's somebody that somebody didn't accidentally put
a B before the end, because there's a big difference,
but one hundred and eighty eight million dollar deficit as
it is, and then you hear something like this, it's
just it kind of seems like it when it rains,
it pours, right, no pun intended, but it's it's just been.
(04:47):
It's been a rough It really been a rough few
years for JCPS, to say the least. But it just
seems like each and every day there's something else that
just makes you worried about the longevity of that entity.
I mean, again, the system, school system's not going to
shut down away, but I mean never say it, because
it's an invitation for it to actually get worse. But
there have been some moments, I'm sure, especially if you're
(05:08):
in the PR department over there, you think to yourself, well,
at least it can't get any worse than this. Again,
you don't say that out loud because that's an invitation
for it to do exactly that.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
But again, we're loaded.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Today and I'm looking up here, and I did stay
up and see its stayed way too late. But it
was a great finish between the Jags and the Chiefs
and Liam Cohen being a UKOC two times over a
three year period and now being a guy that is
putting together a really really good debut season as an
NFL head coach. I don't really know what that says
about Mark Stoops to be honest with you, because I'm
(05:39):
not really sure if Liam Cohen never really wanted to
stay there, but he joins a long list of guys
that are successful more so when they're not working with
Mark Stoops, and that can't be ignored as far as
the outlier when it comes to the offensive issues that
have really been with Kentucky football ninety five percent of
(06:00):
the time he's been there.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Well, it's an ironic juxtaposition.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
We had the Butch Hampden storyline and then all of
a sudden, here comes Liam Cohen and they knock off
the Kansas City.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yeah, I mean, he's got them rolling. They're four and
one on the year and looking like a looking like
a good football team. Right, good stuff. Let's get to
a quick break. We'll get you caught up on the
traffic updates out there. Also, we've got the forecast for
you from WLKY. It is Kentucky and his morning news
Coffee and Company with you Field by Thornton's on news
Radio eight forty Whas it's five eighteen here on a
(06:31):
Tuesday morning, Coffee and Company Field Beth Thornton's on news
radio eight forty whas. So there was a powerball winner
that was sold in Louisville here recently, last few days,
I believe, and it's a fifty thousand dollars winner, and
I just happen to see here. The winning ticket sold
at Thornton's nice one O five Preston Highway, which is
(06:53):
actually my Thorntons. I mean, I don't it's not mine.
Other people go there too, but it's the one I
am in every morning, was there this morning, So I mean,
there's no way to know if that's going to happen
to you, but I'm just saying it. It wouldn't shock
me if they just keep rolling out winners at Thornton's.
That's kind of what they do. So we hope that
you support those who support us, keep them in mind
when you want to get your day started, and right now,
(07:15):
it could be something you're not even aware of, but
a donut and a cup of coffee could be the
exact thing you need to get your day started. Well
right now, you can get that for just three bucks.
So again we are fueled by Thornton's here. So the
government shutdown has moved into today seven today, and they
failed to pass either of the two measures to fund
the government, marking the fourth failed votes since Friday. Both
(07:37):
fallen short of that required sixty votes, so Speaker Mike
Johnson announced the House will not return to Washington this week,
maintaining that the House has already done its job in
his mind, by passing its version of the funding bill.
So we'll see where this goes from here. But that
is the update that once again they failed to pass
either two measures and following many votes short at seams
(08:00):
and fourth time since Friday. So again it's pretty simple
at this point. I would imagine that you know, behind
the scenes, there's like it's a constant thing as far
as resources and energy to try to keep this from continuing,
because you know, you don't want the government to be
shut down.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
But I really don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I mean, that's just one of those things that I
clearly not something I have any involvement in or any
any access to information. I'm just of the assumption that
it's round the clock. But when you are at a standstill,
and that's really what this is, I mean, maybe maybe
it's the exact opposite.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Well, they used to shut it down. They used it
as a tactic posturing. If you will Yes, you used
to shut it down and they bring it right back.
And now this thing's going on a little bit long.
By the way, that's the best word to use. There's
Scott Posto lastream.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Right, and now it's going on a little longer.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
And as you're HEARDing ABC's news report, and I think
you had made some mention to it too. The longer
this thing goes, we're gonna start tapping into programs that
are vital for people.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
So no doubt about it.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Memo to everybody on the right and left, get it done.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
And if we ever then at a point where they're
there there there could be who knows if this is
the case. So I don't want to speak it into existence,
but I think right now, given the current timing and
just the temperature of things, I don't know if I
can't think of a time where there'd ever be resistance
quite like right now to concede, if that makes sense,
(09:18):
and and be the one that you know that does
cave to the other to get you know, to to
you know, do what what what you should be in position,
like the reason you're in the position that you're in
should be because you want to do what's right.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
For the for people, for the American people. But uh
I would.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I mean, look, it's right there in front of our face.
Seemingly every day that that has that has faded as
far as the top priority as far as just being
consistently in your in your frame of mind, as far
as why you're making decisions, why you're doing what you're doing.
We got a lot of I think seventh grade fighting
going on between between sides right now. So anyhow, let's
(09:54):
let's get to another quick update of traffic and whether
we've also got another uh sports update coming your way
this morning. Scott will get back with us on sports
just a few minutes and looking forward to that, so
stick with us again. It's a Tuesday, five twenty one
here at news radio eight forty whas. Thank you very much,
John Shannon, five thirty five here on a Tuesday morning,
News Radio eight forty whas.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Appreciate you hanging out with us.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
So things getting worse for Mark Sanchez as a story
that I think instantly became oh man, Mark Sanchez, former
NFLQB in Town and Indie to call the game to
be a part of the Fox broadcast. I mean, part
of it was how it was shared. But I'll admit,
first first thing I saw was that he was stabbed.
(10:39):
I just assumed that there was some type of, you know, situation,
potentially robbery. Maybe I'm wrong for just assuming that, but
you would assume that someone like Mark Sanchez wouldn't be out,
you know, being the perpetrator in a situation that led
to a violent interaction between two people. But it sounds
like that is that is what's happened here, because we
now have seen the photos of the other guy, right,
(11:04):
the sixty nine year old man who looks as if
he got the living crap eat out of him. I mean,
he looks like he's holding on for dear life. I
don't believe it's that severe. But now there are felony
charges for Mark Sanchez. It went from being misdemeanor charges
to now being felonies because of just the severity of
(11:24):
what took place. And it does sound as although there
may be some type of an excuse for it never
getting to that level, but I just I can't imagine
that the hearing aid situation and Sanchez clearly being very
hammer drunk that had to be the key factor in
this turning into what it turned into.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Yeah, I mean, and it's so sad, Nick, when you
see instance like this happen and you know you were
involved in it.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
I won't go too deep.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Into the weeds here and put you on the spot,
but you were involved in incident earlier too, kind of
took place in the public eye.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
And it's just sad when things like that have happened.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
And you know, I'm sure Sanchez was had a budding,
you know, post football career. He obviously put a little
bit in the NFL. Things were rolling along, he was
he certainly wasn't making chump change. And now my man,
not only is he being sued, he's out of a job,
probably will never work again, and his life has all
been turned over because of something. And I'm not blaming
the alcohol, per sae for this, but I am kind
(12:21):
of in a way, if that makes sense, just because
on a split decision, he made a bad choice.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
And that's that's how fast life can pivot on people.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
And you should never put yourself in a position where
and I'm not I'm not giving him any kind of
an out, but i mean the video footage of him
stumbling around downtown Indy that I saw this morning for
the first time. I mean, he may not have even known.
I mean, clearly he didn't know what choice he was making.
But that's his fault for letting clearly letting his alcohol
get in the way.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
But that's why everybody, it's so important seek help if
you know someone that needs.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Help, or you see this on the outside.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
And I say this only because alcoholism is running our
family and I saw my father go through I saw
my grandfather go through it. You know, if you see
somebody that needs help. I'm sure that maybe Sanchez didn't
give signs off that he had issues with alcohol. Maybe
he did, and maybe folks tried to get him help.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
I mean, you never know.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Maybe maybe he's someone that you know, I know nothing
about him, but maybe he's somebody that rarely ever does drink.
And then you know he was, Ye he was because
him coming around a corner. It's only about what I'm
looking at here. I think it was The New York
of the New York Post that that obtained the security
footage in downtown Endy of him, of him walking, and
(13:34):
I guess you could say that he's stumbling because of
the physical altercation, but also you know, he's he just
he looks as if he's stumbled. I mean, we've all
seen somebody walking as if they've had a little too
many and they could just fall over at any moment. Again,
now maybe because he genuinely was was stabbed, but yeah,
the prosecutor in Marion County says that they have upgraded
(13:58):
the charges to a felony felony battery because of the
serious bodily injury that took place on Saturday. I guess
it was more so Sunday. Sunday morning.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Received an amended or an additional probable cause affidavit this morning. Again,
this is something that happens in virtually every case here
in Marion County, and with that additional information, we have
added more serious charges against mister Sanchez. At this point
in time, we have filed a felon HRGE, a level
five felony of battery involving serious bodily injury, which contains
(14:31):
a penalty of one to six years. One of the
things that I want to stress to everybody is that
we are still in the early stages of this investigation.
Chief and his team have a number of search warrants
that are still outstanding. They're still tracking down additional information.
This is by no means the in the end of
this investigation of this, by no means means that these
(14:52):
are going to be the final charges that we move
forward with.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
So again always important to keep in mind what was
said there by the prosecutor Ryan Meres and in County
that they now can see the serious injury because again
it's misdemeanor. Now they see the severity of this man's injuries,
then it's been upgraded to felony. But they're still going
to investigate. And wouldn't shock me if there's a defense
from the sanchest side that the reason it was such
(15:17):
a beating is because of he had legitimate reason in
his mind to fear that his life was in danger.
And that's where it gets tricky as far as just
he said she said. But with all that said, you
got to wonder if Booze wasn't involved to the level
that it was, maybe none of this ends up happening.
But yeah, just a rough situation. And if you have
yet to see the photos of the man that's in
(15:38):
the hospital, of the sixty nine year old man, I mean,
if you got a week's stomach, I would stay away.
It's rough, rough stuff. All right, let's get to a
quick update of traffic and weather. Again, we have had
some incidents early on. I don't believe those incidents have
caused any real major issues, but we will soon find out.
We've got in fact, right now, looks like we got
another crash that has taken place here at I sixty
(15:59):
four west, that Hirstborn Parkway. So the roadways are wet,
and that of course can lead to accident. So stay
safe everybody, and we'll get you caught up throughout the
morning with those roadways as well as the forecast right
here on News Radio eight forty. Whas company with you
here on News Radio eight forty whas Field Thorntons appreciate
you hanging out with us on a wet Tuesday morning.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Let's bring in Rory O'Neil of NBC News.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
So, Rory, Tuesday marks the second anniversary of the day
Hamas attacked Israel, starting a war that of course has
claimed tens of thousands of lives. As we sit here
two years later, how much has changed when it comes
to Gaza, Israel, and just the world overall.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
Here, Yeah, it's a lot to sum up.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
But in Gaza itself, there's been an awful lot of
destruction by Israeli forces, taking out so many buildings while
trying to hunt down the Hamas terrorists who are hiding
in them, often under them as well. So it's been
a big military operation that's gotten a lot of support
from the US tax payer, to the tune of about
(17:01):
twenty seven billion dollars that we've provided in military support
for Israel to conduct this operation. There are talks underway
again today with representatives of the Trump administration, Hamas and Israel.
They're calling them indirect talks that are continuing. They started
yesterday in Egypt. So that's a glimmer of hope. But
(17:24):
still President Trump has said time is of the essence
trying to pressure Hamas to release the forty eight hostages
they're still holding.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
We think about twenty of them is still alive. Rory.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
We are now at a week here when it comes
to the government shut down, and from what I can tell,
it seems to be pretty simple. They've not yet been
able to get it figured out.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
And that's the update.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
It doesn't seem as if there appears to be any
real wavering on either side right now.
Speaker 7 (17:50):
No, and not a lot of talking either you know,
I think we're still in the honeymoon phase of this
where it hasn't really hit a lot of people yet.
Speaker 6 (17:56):
But you know, we are.
Speaker 7 (17:58):
Starting to see these little things pop up here and there.
More and more air traffic control issues are developing, with
more air traffic controllers taking time off, sickouts, that kind
of thing, because they're on the job unpaid right now.
So as this, you know, Denver had hundreds of delays
yesterday in part because of air traffic control issues, and
as this continues to spread that maybe, you know, you know,
(18:21):
once we start feeling the effects of this, I think
there'll be more of an impetus to get to a deal.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Yeah, I can tell you what.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I'm just I'm just visualizing both sides with a oh,
we can do this all day. It's just like, you know,
we're good, We're there's there's not really any any sign
of anybody that's going to be conceding. But of course
maybe that changes once once the effects really starts to hit.
As you mentioned, that's already happening.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
Yeah, And as I mentioned too, I think earlier that
don't forget, members of Congress are frequent flyers themselves, so
typically That's what brought an end to the last shutdown
seven years ago, was the issues at air traffic control.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
Let's see if that does the trick again. Of course,
last time to thirty five days.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Yeah, we'll see if we get to that mark. Hopefully not.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
So Amazon Prime Day gets started today. And the scammers
they're good at what they do. They don't discriminate. There's
a sucker born every minute. What can you tell us
as far as what to be weary of here?
Speaker 7 (19:16):
Yeah, you know, there's a new survey out that finds
Americans are targeted for scams more than anyone else on earth,
about one hundred scam attempts per month.
Speaker 6 (19:26):
That's like three a day, right on average.
Speaker 7 (19:28):
I mean, so that's a lot of them comes through
our cell phones, by the way, which has been an
emerging way to try to reach out and han someone.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
But yeah, this also comes at a time when so
many of us.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
Are having one eye on the Amazon page today to see,
oh maybe I need one of those as a lot
of items deep discount ahead of the holidays. You know,
this could be about a twenty billion dollars a couple
of days in sales for Amazon. The advice, of course,
being you know, look who's the seller is. Make sure
they are highly rated, you know, especially if it's something
that you don't normally per just from that seller, because
(20:01):
don't forget you know, Amazon is a big seller on Amazon,
but they really are a platform for a lot of individuals,
small companies, small businesses to do some of their sales.
So make sure you check exactly who you're buying items from,
even when shopping on Amazon.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Rory, as always, we appreciate your time, Enjoy the rest
of your day. We'll talk tomorrow morning, my friend.
Speaker 6 (20:22):
Thanks Nick.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
That's Rory on Neil of NBC News.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Yes, I really enjoyed our conversation about Prime Day yesterday
because it really got me thinking that there are multiple
components to why this is so successful, some of them
being that it just when you see somebody on your
Facebook or Instagram sharing some kind of a deal they
got on Prime Day, You got somebody you run into
(20:45):
in the kitchen at the office talking about it's just
going to make you want to go looking for something
you don't really.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Need, because if you needed it, you'd buy it.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
But yeah, they know how to manipulate us, and they
have for a long time. And I don't say that
to discourage people from taking advantage saying this day like
you don't need anything more now because it's prime day
than you did last week. So all right, let's get
to a quick update of trafficking weather. It is a wet,
wet start to the morning. We already have what appears
(21:13):
to be some real issues that that crash at I
sixty four West at Hurstborne Parkway causing some real delays.
Looks like there's not a whole lot of movement there
as they're trying to get that cleaned up left shoulder
and left three lanes blocks, so be advised. We'll get
the latest from Bobby Ellis right here right now. Also
