President Donald Trump was sworn in for his second term to lead the U.S. and there's no shortage of outrage. He even took hits from an Episcopal Bishop, a devoted Never Trumper, delivering her political sermon from the altar while Trump and V.P. JD Vance just had to sit and absorb it.

You are on news radio eight forty wa chance, I
am Terry Miners broadcasting live.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Sometimes people think we're recorded these months ago, and I'm
in Florida the Islands right now with my feet in
the warm waters of the Gulf of America.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I just wanted to say that one time. Hi, Dave, Hey, Hey,
are you going to be able to remember to say
Golf of America?
Speaker 4 (00:44):
I always just say the golf, So I think I'm
gonna be.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Okay about you, Miles.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
Yeah, I'm the same way. I'm usually the golf.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Are you on the Atlantic side of the Gulf? That's
what we talk about.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
Are you Ocean side or Gulf side?
Speaker 2 (00:59):
When am I going to be able to visit Greenland
without taking a passport?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Is that soon?
Speaker 4 (01:04):
You have to have a real ID though I have one.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
I was one of the test subjects because I happen
to know someone who said they are testing people. Rathery're
testing the system right before it went official, and they
have they need some guinea pigs, you know, some people
to come over there and sign up and get their
license renude. I was like, they sent it to several
people that I knew and we all went over So
(01:29):
in about three minutes, I had a real id. And
the picture looks worse than those pictures of sasquatch that
were taken a hundred years ago.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Yeah, they looked like some old Russian KGB photo right. Yeah,
the ones in Oldham County are always orange. I'm like
an Oupa loompa.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I just think it's funny. But yeah, I lucked into that.
I forgot what happened Mary was she had an appointment
or something that she couldn't go, and it was like
driving her nuts that she didn't get hers right away too.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
It's like, uh, got a real idea? What does that do?
Is it this year? You have to have?
Speaker 6 (02:04):
This year? They pushed off that deadline? Yeah, you know,
they keep pushing it off. I don't know what the.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Latest seems like it's springtime or something like that.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
I got a real idea and a passport, so that
gets me.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Where everywhere you want to go? What about global entry?
What is that?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I have that one too? Do you have to pay
one hundred dollars for it, and I thought it was
like going to expedite the going through the Homeland security
at TSA whatever you call it.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
It's like a Disney line skipping thing.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I thought it was. But it's like, what does this
do exactly.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Get you into a separate line?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Doesn't it? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Through security?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Well you think it does, but sometimes it doesn't work
that way. We were out of the country and coming
back and we'd applied for them, and we we were
in Europe and came back landed in Miami to make
a connection and to get home, and you know, you
just check in there and you give them your passports,
and all of a sudden, the guy walks out of
(03:05):
homeland scared and he goes, mister missus miners yes, he goes,
how would you like to get your global entry thing
taken care of now? Because we were like supposed to
go to Cincinnati a month later and you got to
do an appointment and do all that business. I was like, yeah, great,
we go back in some room and we ask us
a few questions, took a picture of our retina, all
that stuff. Boom done. That was just like we popped
(03:27):
up in the system. They've applied, they've cleared. So still like,
what do I get out of that? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
He got a good dinner out of it, I guess.
Not at the airport, but somewhere.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
I guess. So anyway, my Retina is on file. So no, no,
they know.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
A lot of people are really wary of all that stuff.
You know, the government's tracking us.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
What do I care?
Speaker 6 (03:52):
Pretty soon there'll be Retina recognition as you go across
the bridge to pay your toll.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yeah, but I always saw your eyes. Well that's how
you know when they were looking for Louis who. By
the way, poor Luigi, he's sitting in his cell. Now
he's a nobody. He was a cause celeb for so long,
and now that's like, yeah, so what people have gotten
over Luigi? So now he's just an idiot who killed.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Somebody gone but never forgotten.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Gutlessly shooting someone in the back. Why didn't you look
him in the eye of Luigi like a man? Oh no,
he was, But he was a hero. He's a hero
to a lot of dufuses. But that's that's how life works.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I forgot you had that song, Dave. There's a fellow
named Luigi.
Speaker 7 (04:42):
He comes from it.
Speaker 8 (04:43):
Deli I want to be like Luigi because he's always
got moli in his pocket, a pencil in his hand.
Luigi's got a business that I understand.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
He's standing on the corner.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
He waste his time.
Speaker 8 (05:00):
People come up to him and say number five before time.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
I mean, he was a big deal for a while.
People were talking on following his move, sending him love letters.
He thought it was a celebrity. They get him out
of a police car. He starts shouting to the media,
the assembled media. Now he's just a guy eating blowney
in the dark.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
He's old news.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Why did he have a pencil in his hand on
the song? I don't quite understand that.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
So he worked his way through the lock, the locked
gate to get in. Sorry about your luck, Luigi, you're over.
You had your fifteen.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Minutes, the weakest link, goodbye.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
And he's gonna get life, surely, right, I would think, So, yeah,
there you go. Well, anyway, obviously the world has moved forward.
We have a lot of people that are very upset
because Donald trumps the presidant, even though TikTok's back there
going on TikTok to complain about it. Here's a girl
with purple hair which kind of different colors purple, it's orange,
(06:00):
it's banana yellow, and then there's a red streak in
it too. And she's got a bunch of tats and
a hoggring in her nose. So she's a CPA. Yeah,
I'm sure high achieving, a MENSA member, and here she is.
Speaker 9 (06:13):
Hey, guys, everything feels really out of control and scary,
and I'm really anxious. Elon Musk like did a Nazi
salut for some reason, and like Donald Trump's the president
and that's so scary, and like you basically admitted.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
To voter fraud.
Speaker 9 (06:32):
But we're all just kind of glossing over that. Also,
if you look up this is random. If you look
up right now in the search bar on TikTok the
tailors with song the Smallest Man who Ever Lived, it's
all like for me, at least, it's I'll know you.
It's all like replaced with woman question mark, Like what
is about to happen?
Speaker 2 (06:54):
She showed her TikTok page and that song title did
have woman instead of man.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Smallest man in the world.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
That that guy, that president is the reason you're able
to post that stupid video.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Yeah, well that doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
I mean, Elon mus did a Nazi salute and then
immediately people started posting pictures of Elizabeth Warren, Hillary Clinton,
Barack Obama, all with their hand up like that. Well,
speaking to crowds, you know, he threw he said on
my heart, I'm giving my heart whatever. He threw his
hand out, but they immediately went, it's a Nazi salute.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
It's really it's happening.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
It was like a dating game. Kiss he did that
and four women got pregnant.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah, who was that Richard ull Oh, Josh Auson. Wasn't
that the No, he won the dating game. That was
Jim Lang.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
That's it. Richard Doesson kissed everybody that was family fuse
and married one of the women that he kissed. But
when we play these people who hate Trump, it needs
the proper background music.
Speaker 9 (07:52):
Everything scary.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
This is gonna work for the next four years. Hogan's
hero the Nazi prison camp and like Donald Trump's and I'm.
Speaker 9 (08:06):
Sub scared and like they basically admitted to voter frond
but we're all just kind of glossing over that. Also,
if you look up this is random.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
If you look up right now.
Speaker 9 (08:18):
In the search bro on TikTok, the tamer Swift song,
the smallest man who.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Aren't really lived. It's all like for me at least.
Speaker 9 (08:25):
It's all tell you, it's all like.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Replaced with women.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I mean still no tribunals yet, no internment camps, soldiers
not in the streets yet. But it's got to start tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (08:38):
It make sure I got this right here. Now, Donald
Trump didn't he save TikTok?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (08:43):
So why the people going on TikTok and who are
on TikTok?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
They're mush brain people who get pulled in like fish,
you know, little. They get reeled in and they have
their political stand and they're going to be that way
because they get attention. That's just what it is. Reality
doesn't matter. It's the attention, the clicks and people who
(09:09):
make money off of clicks, clickbait, you know. Of course
they need that. They need their YouTube channel, they need this,
They need that because they get a check for eighteen dollars,
most of them.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
And then by hair dye.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
Right, So this woman's just fool in us. Is that
what she's doing. She's just trying to get clicks. I
thank some money, I think so.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
But it's helpful because it plays to the suckers who
are singing out of the same hymnal. But you know
there's suckers on both sides. They're just real. They get
reeled into this stuff, wound around the spokes of whatever
their political thing is, and it drives their lives. And
it's like, dude, live your life. Walk away from that,
come out of the silo, live your life. It's hard
(09:49):
to imagine.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
We survive all kinds of presidents from both parties.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Yeah, yesterday.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Of course, there are many performances by various people, but carry.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Underwood was the best.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
She did America the Beautiful Acappella because the music track
didn't start and she was brilliant.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
That was a Biden appointee who was in charge of
the CD.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
He said, not today she was.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Initially she was criticized for accepting that role, right to
go and sing at the inauguration. Yeah, but that turned
out well for her.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
I mean they sold her a lot of CDs or downloads.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I mean it was brilliant. I mean it's just so
well done because you do that on the fly. You
go in with the intention of singing along to a track,
which I'm sure she rehearsed many times. I'm standing in
front of five presidents of the United States. This better
be right. Music track doesn't come up. She looks, she looks,
and finally she says to the handler, I'll just sing it,
(10:48):
and I go okay, and then she took off and
it was just it was just fantastic and asked the
crowd if they wanted to participate. You know, the words
helped me out.
Speaker 10 (10:57):
Here Oh by full for spacecious guys, for amboo, wave
of grain, for perple mountain manjestee.
Speaker 9 (11:22):
Fruit play on.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
There was a military chorus in the back of the
room and you can hear them joining in. Got here
for race f be But this was on the fly,
my good.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Wade from seed to Shine.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
How many entertainers would have just walked away? They clear
they were like, oh my gosh, I'm not gonna do
that without my cover of the soundtrack.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
My auto tune correct.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
You've seen people before when things go sideways, they just
walk away from it. Happened in a Washington deal years
ago where the lyrics wouldn't come up with for something.
I think Patty LaBelle was the singer. She just quit.
That stuff happens good for Carrie Underwood. But here is
a Kentuckian by the name of Billy ray Cyrus. He
was a Kentucky in at one time, short time, and
(12:28):
he was performing at one of the events last night.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Uh oh, Billy, I'm.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
Gonna take my halls to the town road.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
I'm gone. I can't. No mo y'all can put your
hands together now like that?
Speaker 6 (12:43):
Oh no, we don't want to participate in goodness? Whoa
what happened Billy from flat Woods, Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Think about that though, how humbling that is. Everybody has
a record of that. There's Carrie Underwood caught by surprise.
That's Billy ray Cyrus intentionally performing as this.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
Wow, he sounds sick.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Yeah, Oh my goodness. That's tough stuff all the way around. Anyway.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
It is also National one liner day, so Dave instead
of Rodney Dangerfield all the time.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Who's awesome? I have pulled some henny young men. Oh
take my wife please. He's the biggest on and on
and all. Here's one two.
Speaker 7 (13:29):
Gambles coming out of church and one says, look, it's Hallelujah,
not Hialiah. A drunk walks up to apota me to
put the diamond the arrow goes to sixty, he says, yeah,
I lost hundred pounds. Say a drunk is brought into court.
The judge says, my good value, you have been brought
(13:50):
him a drinking He says, all right, Jude, let's get stopped.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
Let's get started, Let's get started. Those guys were so good.
Don Wrinkles was another one. How do they remember an
hour's worth of that?
Speaker 1 (14:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
I saw Rodney Danefield at the Louisville Palace thirty years ago.
He was hilarious, but I just happened to notice what
time it was when he started. He walked, Oh, what's up?
Speaker 1 (14:13):
No respect?
Speaker 2 (14:14):
I tell you, it's a call down everybody. Let's what
do you say? We bust up this joint? No next
week after the fire? You know the other things he
would say. Anyway, he just kept telling jokes, just going
on and on, and everybody's sitting there busting a gut.
Exactly one hour later, you hear the sound effect of
a car horn and he goes, there's my ride, see
(14:37):
you later.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
A great way to leave this. That's awesome, oh man, hilarious.
All right.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
The mayor you said today was honoring some of our
police officers who'd been shot just in recent months or
recent eras years.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
Yeah, there's four officers.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
Who are still off and one has returned to duty.
Three others are still recovering from their injuries. You remember
Nick Wilt He's he's the guy who wanted one of
the first risk people to respond to the to the
bank shooting back in twenty twenty three. He was shot
in the head. Still recovering, but he is able to
(15:18):
get around. He's making progress. He was at today's ceremony.
And they also had two other two officers who were
shot struggling with a suspect during a traffic stop last year,
and one was shot in the leg, the other, I
believe in the hand. And then you had that one
other officer whose name is oh Brandon Haley. You remember him.
(15:42):
This was caught on his car video camera. Uh in
the body came right. He's the guy that was ambushed
during a traffic stop in Chickasaw, was shot several times
and we're seeing all this real time in his own.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
He rolled up to that corn and that other policeman
dragged him away.
Speaker 6 (16:02):
Yeah, and he was shot by somebody on the porch
of the house. It was very frightening, but he was there.
He's still recovering, but he's They all survived, and today
they were honored by the mayor and the police chief
for their heroic efforts and heroic work that day.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Those days, it takes on a separate dimension too, when
it's Mayor Greenberg doing that because a guy tried to
assassinate him.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
Yeah, he knows what it's like to have a bullet
fired at you.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
So so crazy anyway, God bless them all. I mean,
that's just the toughest job in the world, and a
lot of people are quick to throw scorn at it.
But you know, like I've said before, I've taken a
few rides before we signed that waiver.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Yeah right along.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Yeah, it's and I did overnights with a couple people
because I happen to know the police officers. Yeah, it's
like it's mind boggling. It's a tough way. They roll
up on and they you don't know what's going to happen.
They tell you to stay in the car if there's
going to be some issue. Yeah, if they suspect anything,
go sideways. And then you know it's like wow, he
(17:06):
just and then other times you're with him on certain things.
This is interesting, but that's a job people they don't
understand there. Everybody can backseat drive on that, but they
don't understand what goes on there.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Yeah, I was.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
I've been on a few of those ride alongs, and
it's it's one of those jobs. It can be very,
very boring for a long period of time, but then
just all of sudden, boom, it gets really really intense.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I got to use their simulator thing years ago. I've
forgotten the acronym that goes with it, Sam's the studs.
I don't know what it was. Anyway, it was eye opening,
to say the least. There's scenes that pop up on
screen and you're supposed to react, and it blows your
(17:50):
mind how quickly things change. You think one thing's happening,
something else. Somebody comes out of a side door whatever,
and then you're you're just like.
Speaker 6 (17:57):
What, Yeah, let me let me guess you shot some
buddy who was trying to hand you their driver's license,
thinking it was a gun.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Dave Yeates was there.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
He was one of the people observing me while this
went on, and they he said, they still laugh about this.
The first scene there's a guy with a crowbar breaking
into an ATM, and they laugh at me because here's
what I said, because you know there's audio. I mean,
you do it the way. They all said, Terry, here's
what you said, sir, excuse me, sir. And the guy
(18:33):
turns around and then and then I and then he
kills me, you know, right away, boom. And then so
after I thought, oh that's how this works. Then I'm
shooting crickets, I'm shooting fire hydrants.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
It doesn't happen the monster on the street light with
the Kleenex in his land.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
So pretty good lesson, that's for sure. All right, we'll
step beside compack Oh on the show. Today, we've got
the famous author Steven Younger. He is excuse me, sebasting Younger,
who was a war correspondent who then had a medical
issue and like so he's been in war zones and
all this business, and he's written all these books. He's
(19:14):
a fascinating guy. And he was on death's door step
and then he says he went to the other side
and came back. It's fascinating on many front. He's an
atheist and just what happened with him was mind boggling.
He's going to be speaking here in Kentucky at the
(19:36):
Kentucky Author Forum, so I'm gonna have a chat with
him a little left five o'clock today, Looking forward to that. Also,
UFL baseball coach Dan McDonald five thirty five. That's ahead

Doesn't it? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Through security?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Well you think it does, but sometimes it doesn't work
that way. We were out of the country and coming
back and we'd applied for them, and we we were
in Europe and came back landed in Miami to make
a connection and to get home, and you know, you
just check in there and you give them your passports,

homeland scared and he goes, mister missus miners yes, he goes,
how would you like to get your global entry thing
taken care of now? Because we were like supposed to
go to Cincinnati a month later and you got to
do an appointment and do all that business. I was like, yeah, great,
we go back in some room and we ask us
a few questions, took a picture of our retina, all
that stuff. Boom done. That was just like we popped
(03:27):
up in the system. They've applied, they've cleared. So still like,
what do I get out of that? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
He got a good dinner out of it, I guess.
Not at the airport, but somewhere.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
I guess. So anyway, my Retina is on file. So no, no,
they know.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
A lot of people are really wary of all that stuff.
You know, the government's tracking us.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
What do I care?
Speaker 6 (03:52):
Pretty soon there'll be Retina recognition as you go across
the bridge to pay your toll.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yeah, but I always saw your eyes. Well that's how
you know when they were looking for Louis who. By
the way, poor Luigi, he's sitting in his cell. Now
he's a nobody. He was a cause celeb for so long,
and now that's like, yeah, so what people have gotten
over Luigi? So now he's just an idiot who killed.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Somebody gone but never forgotten.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Gutlessly shooting someone in the back. Why didn't you look
him in the eye of Luigi like a man? Oh no,
he was, But he was a hero. He's a hero
to a lot of dufuses. But that's that's how life works.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I forgot you had that song, Dave. There's a fellow
named Luigi.
Speaker 7 (04:42):
He comes from it.
Speaker 8 (04:43):
Deli I want to be like Luigi because he's always
got moli in his pocket, a pencil in his hand.
Luigi's got a business that I understand.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
He's standing on the corner.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
He waste his time.
Speaker 8 (05:00):
People come up to him and say number five before time.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
I mean, he was a big deal for a while.
People were talking on following his move, sending him love letters.
He thought it was a celebrity. They get him out
of a police car. He starts shouting to the media,
the assembled media. Now he's just a guy eating blowney
in the dark.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
He's old news.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Why did he have a pencil in his hand on
the song? I don't quite understand that.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
So he worked his way through the lock, the locked
gate to get in. Sorry about your luck, Luigi, you're over.
You had your fifteen.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Minutes, the weakest link, goodbye.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
And he's gonna get life, surely, right, I would think, So, yeah,
there you go. Well, anyway, obviously the world has moved forward.
We have a lot of people that are very upset
because Donald trumps the presidant, even though TikTok's back there
going on TikTok to complain about it. Here's a girl
with purple hair which kind of different colors purple, it's orange,
(06:00):
it's banana yellow, and then there's a red streak in
it too. And she's got a bunch of tats and
a hoggring in her nose. So she's a CPA. Yeah,
I'm sure high achieving, a MENSA member, and here she is.
Speaker 9 (06:13):
Hey, guys, everything feels really out of control and scary,
and I'm really anxious. Elon Musk like did a Nazi
salut for some reason, and like Donald Trump's the president
and that's so scary, and like you basically admitted.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
To voter fraud.
Speaker 9 (06:32):
But we're all just kind of glossing over that. Also,
if you look up this is random. If you look
up right now in the search bar on TikTok the
tailors with song the Smallest Man who Ever Lived, it's
all like for me, at least, it's I'll know you.
It's all like replaced with woman question mark, Like what
is about to happen?
Speaker 2 (06:54):
She showed her TikTok page and that song title did
have woman instead of man.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Smallest man in the world.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
That that guy, that president is the reason you're able
to post that stupid video.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Yeah, well that doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
I mean, Elon mus did a Nazi salute and then
immediately people started posting pictures of Elizabeth Warren, Hillary Clinton,
Barack Obama, all with their hand up like that. Well,
speaking to crowds, you know, he threw he said on
my heart, I'm giving my heart whatever. He threw his
hand out, but they immediately went, it's a Nazi salute.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
It's really it's happening.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
It was like a dating game. Kiss he did that
and four women got pregnant.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah, who was that Richard ull Oh, Josh Auson. Wasn't
that the No, he won the dating game. That was
Jim Lang.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
That's it. Richard Doesson kissed everybody that was family fuse
and married one of the women that he kissed. But
when we play these people who hate Trump, it needs
the proper background music.
Speaker 9 (07:52):
Everything scary.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
This is gonna work for the next four years. Hogan's
hero the Nazi prison camp and like Donald Trump's and I'm.
Speaker 9 (08:06):
Sub scared and like they basically admitted to voter frond
but we're all just kind of glossing over that. Also,
if you look up this is random.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
If you look up right now.
Speaker 9 (08:18):
In the search bro on TikTok, the tamer Swift song,
the smallest man who.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Aren't really lived. It's all like for me at least.
Speaker 9 (08:25):
It's all tell you, it's all like.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Replaced with women.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I mean still no tribunals yet, no internment camps, soldiers
not in the streets yet. But it's got to start tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (08:38):
It make sure I got this right here. Now, Donald
Trump didn't he save TikTok?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (08:43):
So why the people going on TikTok and who are
on TikTok?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
They're mush brain people who get pulled in like fish,
you know, little. They get reeled in and they have
their political stand and they're going to be that way
because they get attention. That's just what it is. Reality
doesn't matter. It's the attention, the clicks and people who
(09:09):
make money off of clicks, clickbait, you know. Of course
they need that. They need their YouTube channel, they need this,
They need that because they get a check for eighteen dollars,
most of them.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
And then by hair dye.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
Right, So this woman's just fool in us. Is that
what she's doing. She's just trying to get clicks. I
thank some money, I think so.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
But it's helpful because it plays to the suckers who
are singing out of the same hymnal. But you know
there's suckers on both sides. They're just real. They get
reeled into this stuff, wound around the spokes of whatever
their political thing is, and it drives their lives. And
it's like, dude, live your life. Walk away from that,
come out of the silo, live your life. It's hard
(09:49):
to imagine.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
We survive all kinds of presidents from both parties.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Yeah, yesterday.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Of course, there are many performances by various people, but carry.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Underwood was the best.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
She did America the Beautiful Acappella because the music track
didn't start and she was brilliant.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
That was a Biden appointee who was in charge of
the CD.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
He said, not today she was.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Initially she was criticized for accepting that role, right to
go and sing at the inauguration. Yeah, but that turned
out well for her.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
I mean they sold her a lot of CDs or downloads.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I mean it was brilliant. I mean it's just so
well done because you do that on the fly. You
go in with the intention of singing along to a track,
which I'm sure she rehearsed many times. I'm standing in
front of five presidents of the United States. This better
be right. Music track doesn't come up. She looks, she looks,
and finally she says to the handler, I'll just sing it,
(10:48):
and I go okay, and then she took off and
it was just it was just fantastic and asked the
crowd if they wanted to participate. You know, the words
helped me out.
Speaker 10 (10:57):
Here Oh by full for spacecious guys, for amboo, wave
of grain, for perple mountain manjestee.
Speaker 9 (11:22):
Fruit play on.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
There was a military chorus in the back of the
room and you can hear them joining in. Got here
for race f be But this was on the fly,
my good.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Wade from seed to Shine.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
How many entertainers would have just walked away? They clear
they were like, oh my gosh, I'm not gonna do
that without my cover of the soundtrack.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
My auto tune correct.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
You've seen people before when things go sideways, they just
walk away from it. Happened in a Washington deal years
ago where the lyrics wouldn't come up with for something.
I think Patty LaBelle was the singer. She just quit.
That stuff happens good for Carrie Underwood. But here is
a Kentuckian by the name of Billy ray Cyrus. He
was a Kentucky in at one time, short time, and
(12:28):
he was performing at one of the events last night.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Uh oh, Billy, I'm.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
Gonna take my halls to the town road.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
I'm gone. I can't. No mo y'all can put your
hands together now like that?
Speaker 6 (12:43):
Oh no, we don't want to participate in goodness? Whoa
what happened Billy from flat Woods, Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Think about that though, how humbling that is. Everybody has
a record of that. There's Carrie Underwood caught by surprise.
That's Billy ray Cyrus intentionally performing as this.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
Wow, he sounds sick.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Yeah, Oh my goodness. That's tough stuff all the way around. Anyway.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
It is also National one liner day, so Dave instead
of Rodney Dangerfield all the time.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Who's awesome? I have pulled some henny young men. Oh
take my wife please. He's the biggest on and on
and all. Here's one two.
Speaker 7 (13:29):
Gambles coming out of church and one says, look, it's Hallelujah,
not Hialiah. A drunk walks up to apota me to
put the diamond the arrow goes to sixty, he says, yeah,
I lost hundred pounds. Say a drunk is brought into court.
The judge says, my good value, you have been brought
(13:50):
him a drinking He says, all right, Jude, let's get stopped.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
Let's get started, Let's get started. Those guys were so good.
Don Wrinkles was another one. How do they remember an
hour's worth of that?
Speaker 1 (14:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
I saw Rodney Danefield at the Louisville Palace thirty years ago.
He was hilarious, but I just happened to notice what
time it was when he started. He walked, Oh, what's up?
Speaker 1 (14:13):
No respect?
Speaker 2 (14:14):
I tell you, it's a call down everybody. Let's what
do you say? We bust up this joint? No next
week after the fire? You know the other things he
would say. Anyway, he just kept telling jokes, just going
on and on, and everybody's sitting there busting a gut.
Exactly one hour later, you hear the sound effect of
a car horn and he goes, there's my ride, see
(14:37):
you later.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
A great way to leave this. That's awesome, oh man, hilarious.
All right.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
The mayor you said today was honoring some of our
police officers who'd been shot just in recent months or
recent eras years.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
Yeah, there's four officers.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
Who are still off and one has returned to duty.
Three others are still recovering from their injuries. You remember
Nick Wilt He's he's the guy who wanted one of
the first risk people to respond to the to the
bank shooting back in twenty twenty three. He was shot
in the head. Still recovering, but he is able to
(15:18):
get around. He's making progress. He was at today's ceremony.
And they also had two other two officers who were
shot struggling with a suspect during a traffic stop last year,
and one was shot in the leg, the other, I
believe in the hand. And then you had that one
other officer whose name is oh Brandon Haley. You remember him.
(15:42):
This was caught on his car video camera. Uh in
the body came right. He's the guy that was ambushed
during a traffic stop in Chickasaw, was shot several times
and we're seeing all this real time in his own.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
He rolled up to that corn and that other policeman
dragged him away.
Speaker 6 (16:02):
Yeah, and he was shot by somebody on the porch
of the house. It was very frightening, but he was there.
He's still recovering, but he's They all survived, and today
they were honored by the mayor and the police chief
for their heroic efforts and heroic work that day.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Those days, it takes on a separate dimension too, when
it's Mayor Greenberg doing that because a guy tried to
assassinate him.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
Yeah, he knows what it's like to have a bullet
fired at you.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
So so crazy anyway, God bless them all. I mean,
that's just the toughest job in the world, and a
lot of people are quick to throw scorn at it.
But you know, like I've said before, I've taken a
few rides before we signed that waiver.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Yeah right along.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Yeah, it's and I did overnights with a couple people
because I happen to know the police officers. Yeah, it's
like it's mind boggling. It's a tough way. They roll
up on and they you don't know what's going to happen.
They tell you to stay in the car if there's
going to be some issue. Yeah, if they suspect anything,
go sideways. And then you know it's like wow, he
(17:06):
just and then other times you're with him on certain things.
This is interesting, but that's a job people they don't
understand there. Everybody can backseat drive on that, but they
don't understand what goes on there.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Yeah, I was.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
I've been on a few of those ride alongs, and
it's it's one of those jobs. It can be very,
very boring for a long period of time, but then
just all of sudden, boom, it gets really really intense.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I got to use their simulator thing years ago. I've
forgotten the acronym that goes with it, Sam's the studs.
I don't know what it was. Anyway, it was eye opening,
to say the least. There's scenes that pop up on
screen and you're supposed to react, and it blows your
(17:50):
mind how quickly things change. You think one thing's happening,
something else. Somebody comes out of a side door whatever,
and then you're you're just like.
Speaker 6 (17:57):
What, Yeah, let me let me guess you shot some
buddy who was trying to hand you their driver's license,
thinking it was a gun.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Dave Yeates was there.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
He was one of the people observing me while this
went on, and they he said, they still laugh about this.
The first scene there's a guy with a crowbar breaking
into an ATM, and they laugh at me because here's
what I said, because you know there's audio. I mean,
you do it the way. They all said, Terry, here's
what you said, sir, excuse me, sir. And the guy
(18:33):
turns around and then and then I and then he
kills me, you know, right away, boom. And then so
after I thought, oh that's how this works. Then I'm
shooting crickets, I'm shooting fire hydrants.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
It doesn't happen the monster on the street light with
the Kleenex in his land.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
So pretty good lesson, that's for sure. All right, we'll
step beside compack Oh on the show. Today, we've got
the famous author Steven Younger. He is excuse me, sebasting Younger,
who was a war correspondent who then had a medical
issue and like so he's been in war zones and
all this business, and he's written all these books. He's
(19:14):
a fascinating guy. And he was on death's door step
and then he says he went to the other side
and came back. It's fascinating on many front. He's an
atheist and just what happened with him was mind boggling.
He's going to be speaking here in Kentucky at the
(19:36):
Kentucky Author Forum, so I'm gonna have a chat with
him a little left five o'clock today, Looking forward to that. Also,
UFL baseball coach Dan McDonald five thirty five. That's ahead
on news radio. Wait forty whas
