a couple of years, but this place is absolutely beautiful.

It is gorgeous.
Speaker 4 (00:12):
And Happy fiftieth anniversary, Gregor Landrath. I'll go talk to
Larry Craig here in a little bit. I can't wait
to do that. But imagine going from nineteen seventy five
to right now, like if I walked on, like if
I walked on Larry Craig's lot fifty years ago when
he opened up and he said, what are you looking for?
And I said, well, I'm looking for a car, but
(00:36):
I want to run on electricity, and you know what,
I want that car to drive itself as well. They
throw me off the lot. No idea of peace.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I'd have called you a communist first. All right, So
we're here today. We have two things to give away.
We have one thousand dollars Genesis gift card. Here's the deal,
plus two night state Operyland. You ever been to Opryland.
It's really nice. Right, That's where I like to go
sing all my opry music. So Opryland is the hotel
(01:08):
where it's all indoors, like they have the glass dome
and they have all those plants and forests and during
Christmas it's amazing.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
So we have a two nights stay there and a
thousand dollars gift card. We're not gonna give those together.
We're gonna give them separate book. The winners of this
will be the people that sign up in the next
three hours. So we didn't sign anybody up before and
we're not gonna sign up anybody afterwards. So when you

Speaker 3 (01:34):
How good of a Christmas gift?
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Would that be a thousand dollars gift card at Genesis
or getting day at Opryland Hotel?
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yes, it's about the medschoos and can go there without you.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Right, I would say, like if I win, I say, honey,
it's our presentation. You gotta say, honey, I want a
girls trip to Opryland, and you got to pitch it
that way. But we're also gonna giving away a Fiesta
pack for saucer ridas. We have a World War two

hanging out with us. Kevin Bratcher's coming by.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Come on.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
So the council used to be in the state Senate.
He voted for the Ford situation. Frankfurt just announced there
one hundred and fifty million over budget and we gave
two hundred and fifty million dollars to four to build
to create jobs. We'll ask Kevin Bratcher what what we
should do there.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
One of my best friends growing up, god Rest his
soul was a guy by the name of Kevin Bratcher,
and he and I were thicker than thieves and.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
About the thieves thing, right, Yo, your mic is on, Dude,
what did I say that? You said it out loud?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Me Sorry, I tried to keep it in my head.
I promise not.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
That you're wrong.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
But anyway, he passed away god Rest is so about
five years ago, and on the show I did a
tribute to him. And so, Kevin Bratch, is there.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
An unusual amount of people that you used to run
with that have passed away in the last ten years.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Yeah, there's a lot of them that most of them
have passed. But my point is his name was Kevin Bratcher. Yeah, yeah,
and I said goodbye to him on our show and
played a little.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
And everybody fuck so Kevin at the state senator, So
Kevin Bratscher, the representative at the time the counts went.
Now his phone is blowing up on it and people
are calling him.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Caught his relatives, his brother saying I'm so sorry about
your brother.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
We also have the mayor coming on at eleven thirty,
so Greenberg will come by. He's doing what sort of
an end of the year What we did this year,
what we didn't do this.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Yeah, I think he's got seventy percent off of the cars.
No what he said he was doing some kind of
end of the year thing. No, No, it's the mayor's
end of the year sound you know, Look it's an
election years.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
It's election years.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
He's gonna do, you know, the fun segments we do
are going to turn into here's what I did. But
Craig will be here at eleven thirty, So we've got
a busy show for you to day. I can't confirm
Donald Trump, was it Tuesday night or Monday night he
had his speech where he dressed the names. It was
like Tuesday Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Well, hang on, let me ask about Google machine he.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Had a press confer or not a press conference, I'm sorry.
He had a statement the White House address, and he
threw in there that he was going to give a
little stipend, a little gift, a little kiss to all
of the service.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Men and women. It was Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
It was Wednesday. So get this. I don't think anyone
would argue with us that anything that the government does
is glacial. It moves slow. Well, I mean just the
marijuana medical marijuana in Kentucky is a perfect example. Oh yeah,
(04:49):
they passed this a year and a half, two years
ago whenever, and and it's just now getting dispensaries open.
It's the government. It's glacial. How this guy, because I
could confirmed my son's set the picture of it today.
Seventeen hundred and seventy whatever dollars is an account. It's
in his account, and it's tax free.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
So basically it's uh, you know, it's his taxes hit
my paycheck and everything that comes.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Out of it's about thirty five to forty.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Yeah, so imagine that it's it's close to a three
grand bonus. I say, I don't know how he does it,
but he doesn't blink. He has an idea and he
goes and does it. Here's the thing. John's twenty two.
He doesn't need the money. I'm sure he's he would disagree,
But I'm thinking of the enlisted families, the enlisted families
(05:40):
that don't have a lot and have multiple kids that
we talk about it with the USA cares all the time,
right right, I think about those families getting seventeen hundred
dollars a couple of days before Christmas that was dropped
in their checking account.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
That's exactly where I was going right before Christmas. What
you get this right before? Oh, I know, less than
a week before Christmas.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
I wonder if.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
Our boss, Bob Baffer, Bob Paffer, it's Bob, Bob Knight,
Bob pitt it's Bob Bob Pittman, Bobby McGee, if he hate,
if he hung out with Donald some more, maybe we
at iHeart would get us something like that.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Well, who's to say that it's not going to be,
you know, the very last second that I'm hanging out
with my mother in law on Christmas, even though be
a and it'll be old Bobby Pittman at my door.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Because you know, a lot of times.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
The CEOs they want to do it personally because they
love seeing.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
The reaction, like Ed McMahon with a big check.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Because they want to say, hey, you know this nine
to noon guy and market fifty two.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
We really want to see the reaction on his face.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
So that is a huge deal. I just wanted to
mention that. So he got that before he got on
a plane. And by the way, he is in Baltimore.
Somewhere in Louisville's tarmac is is shut down. I guess
because the wind. So they're in a holding.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Good thing.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
Dwight's not flying out today.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah, I know. That's what I love about planes is, Uh.
Speaker 7 (07:05):
We realized we're gonna be here for five hours and
you're not going anywhere so long. Instead of going back
to the gate, we're gonna let you sit next to
a stranger breathing his uh foul mouth there.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Uh, let's stay on planes. Horrific plane crash kills NASCAR driver,
retired driver and his entire family. I know Greg Biffle
and his family. Uh, he is a for sure Hall
of Famer.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
I'm not a NASCAR person, but for one understand he's
been raided in the top yeah, seventy five almost He's
one a lot, and that's you know, his NASCAR has
been around for so long that that's something to say.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
There.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Here's what I'm wondering, and I haven't doubled into the story.
Maybe an answer is for me, was he flying this
plane himself?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Because I didn't. I didn't list a pilot.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
He is a pilot. Okay, he Okay, you're right, these
are the questions we need answer. So, uh, he is
a pilot. He not just planes, but helicopters. When that uh,
North Carolina and the floods and the and the whatever. Uh,
he was flying helicopter rescue missions.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
How do you know what? Here's the thing?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
How cool?
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Are no kidd like?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
How do we compete with that?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Now? You can't?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
So is John mcclan so he was flying, he was
helping people flying helicopters. I'm gonna guess that he probably was.
There was a fan. There was a total of seven
people on the plane, uh, including the two kids and
the wife.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Yeah, that's well, the whole thing is a heartbreaker.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
But here's the thing, Son Rider and Greg's daughter Emma.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
I know.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
There were two pilots on the plane. One of them
was him and there was another guy as well. His
name's not.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
It looks like they were headed to Florida for Christmas. Yeah,
and uh there they interview I saw a video they
interviewed guys a golf courses right next to this airport,
just like at the Bowman Field, there's Seneca Park.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
They were teeing off on the tea box and he
said the plane just did a nose dive straight into
the ground and exploded. Golly, it's just a sad story
right before Christmas too, and I can't imagine. So, uh,
we'll get more information as we come out. But they
had obviously had some issues because they took off and
(09:33):
then they circled back. I think they were trying to
get back.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
To the Oh so they're trying to get back to Yeah, wow,
trying to get back all right, So now and then
at the same time this is going on.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Man, It's just the news cycle is crazy. I just
want to hear about Santa and.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Right, where's the Papa Noel's stories?
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Man, it's Friday about the reindeer that made his way
somehow into a peppermint paddy uh factory?
Speaker 2 (10:01):
And then what's the German evil Santa Crompus Crumpus Trumpus.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
About the Christmas man Jack Crompus.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Uh, that's what I'd even like to hear Crumpus, you
know where you know, like sometimes what wives will do
for their husbands is on Christmas Eve or Christmas they'll
dress up in a sexy Santa like naughty. You know.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Susan tried it one more one time and it works.
We went with Crampis and she pulls that one out perfectly.
So that's what I get on Christmas Eve, all right,
So that she comes up with her crampas feeting.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Bad boy.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
She does.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Yeah, she tortures me and snores. Yeah, it's horrible.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Uh, it's the scene both our wives could be could
have been in those Lord of the Ring movies. Their feet,
I mean from ankles up smoke show.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Oh that reminds me.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I've got here. I found this and get to you
right now. It's a coupon fifty percent of electrolysis for feet.
Susan loves this lady really absolutely.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Bernice is her name. You're a love two all right.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
While the plane crash story is going on, we're shocked.
We're eating in the kitchen. I can't believe what I'm watching. Uh,
And then now last night, after they told us we
are not connecting the MIT professor killing with the Brown shooting, right,
the University of Brown, Brown University shooting. Well, guess what,
same dude he rented a car. It's an interesting story.
(11:37):
Who this guy is. Apparently he had a relate, he
knew this professor at MIT, so apparently he shot up
Brown drove to however, I think Baltimore changed cars and
then went to MIT or with this guy's off our
house and killed him. Unbelievable. And then they found him
dead this morning.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Wow, man alive.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
It's crazy.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
It's it's it's God, It's it's lunacy, it really is.
It's common sense versus lunacy at this point, if there's
any if your eyes aren't open now, oh.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
I know, my gosh, I don't know. I don't know.
All right? Are you sure? Hang on? I want to
change the squirrel? Are you quite sure?
Speaker 4 (12:14):
And John Alden, I'm gonna ask you first the video
I said you and Tony last night, are you not sure?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
That's ai?
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Because now I'm starting to believing it to be real
because it's so because at first I thought, well, it's
a bit. It's like I started, it's funny I sent
to you all. I mean, he said, yeah, that's a
I and I thought this thing is so stupid, it's
probably real.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Uh. I will tell you this. It's it's eye opening
of Rhode Island, the state of Rhode Island, Brown University,
because the word is, Look, all the IVY leagues are woke.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Yeah right, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Harvard a couple of years ago had segregated graduations because
everybody that wasn't white or Jewish was uncomfortable at going
to graduation with white people, so they separated their graduations
for like two years.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
What did so? Now, Martin Luther fight for you. So
that's crazy, right, Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
They say Brown is the by far, the wokest out
of all the IVY leagues. Right, So that you see
all these videos where the president of the university six
hours after the shooting doesn't even know what classroom it was,
what class it was, who was there, nothing, nothing, So
and then they dive into the You saw the police
chief in the town. The police chief's nephew is the
(13:32):
biggest drug cartel dealer of fentanyl in all of Rhode Island.
You're like, what, what, how do you First of all,
if you're the police chief. You know who the biggest
drug dealer is in your area, right, I mean you
know that they know it. LMPD will tell you who
the drug dealers are a little they got their name,
they know where they live. But uh, but you're telling
(13:54):
me the nephew. You didn't know the nephew.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Well, I we'll get back to the university and segregation.
So they're saying that they're so woke, and then they
they bring back segregation.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
No, it was, yes, Harvard did it for two years.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
That's insane.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah, they segregated. They had everybody had a separate graduation
except for the white and Jewish kids. They had their
own graduates. But it was because the other groups.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
That's lunacy.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
The other groups has to not bet with them. Wow,
it's insane.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Wow, it's insane.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
It is insane.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
So, uh that will tell you how how woke brown is.
And it's uh it is. I We're gonna play the video.
It's clean, right, I asked I double last Yes, it's
it's clean, and it's so stupid that at some point
last night. Sorry, I've seen I've seen press conferences that
were very similar.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
That's what I'm saying, so it's so stupid.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Did it last night? I thought, you know what, this
is so stupid. It probably is true.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
So I just got when I pulled up the link,
it's telling me the I think the video may have
been removed. I don't know if it's because it it's
fake or not.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Well, babe, well, here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Some of these press conferences are so bad. It's believable
that that's what I'm talking about. That ten years ago
would have been a Saturday Night Live bit, right, And
that's what I said in my text to you guys.
Speaker 3 (15:14):

Speaker 4 (19:15):
Kevin Bratcher joins the show as we hear Pantera's walk.

Yeah? Hey, how you got navy here?
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Points?
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I was worried about.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Him there too. I thought we werenna whoop him in there.
I'll take it. You're looking great, Councilman Bratcher. You walk
about ten fifteen miles a day. Former state representative now
councilman Kevin Bratcher. How do you get make time to walk?
Because it's basically a half marathon.
Speaker 8 (19:45):
Ten to fifteen thousand steps okay, I thought was a
mile during the summer. I'll head up to twelve miles
a day.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Wow, Because that's basically a mini marathon a day. How
do you find time to do that? Time?
Speaker 3 (20:00):
And you did it?
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Shifts or what you know?
Speaker 8 (20:02):
There's a lot of phone calls you make when you're
in this uh, you know, yeah, you walk and talk.
I walk and talk, and I do a lot of
audio books. I'm getting a lot smarter.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Now that you're out of the Senate, and I might
start start doing that too, because a lot of the
phone calls I make involved panting.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Anyway, So all right, Kevin Bratcher used to be the
state Senate. So you voted for the everybody did see
how sorry? And you voted for the Ford initiative and
the federal government initiative to build some battery plants in Etown.
A lot of people had questions about it. I know
you did, uh, and then you voted yes for it.
(20:39):
Of course, no one knew that well maybe this show maybe.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Too, that it might be dis shockeys.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Long story short, they had to let go of the
sixteen hundred people they were thinking they were going to
get five thousand people. That's why the state gave two
hundred and fifty million dollars to Ford for job creation.
If there's no jobs, what should the state due with.
Speaker 8 (21:00):
Fourd I like him to get the money back, you know,
And and if you know, there are a lot of
things up in the air right now, you know, and
and Governor Shecher. You know, he's saying that there's a
stipulations in the original contract, which you know, I didn't
have privy to see. It's kind of an open records
request to see the original contract.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (21:20):
But he says that there's ways to recoup that money.
I'd like to see him work harder on that and
not be bashing the other party just because he's running
from the.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Second ass Well, he says a lot of stuff.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
I mean, during his campaign ads, everything that he took
credit for he actually vetoed, and the Republican majority super
majority in Frankfurt overrode his vetos.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Thank god.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
And as a result, all of these laws and all
these accomplishments that he took credit for, ninety percent of
them he vetoed.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
It drives me crazy what I.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Saw when you first saw that bill coming through. Everyone
was super excited. Who wouldn't. It's it's I know, the
federal government gave Ford twelve billion dollars, so the two
hundred and fifty that we could get back, but he's
not going to ask for it, right, I Mean, it's
not like, Look, if Ford wasn't in the state already,
you go, look, give us the money back, bro, but
(22:17):
they they're already committeeing billions of dollars to the other plans.
He's not going to ask, right, Yeah.
Speaker 8 (22:22):
Well, you know, the bottom line is Ford has been
a great partner from Kentucky and especially Louisville. I mean,
how many friends do we have that work out there?
They living out there? Ever, So you know, Ford was asking,
and you know, they had this idea they were going
to go into the next the future with this battery stuff,
and it's just like John Q Public said, I don't
(22:43):
really want that, and so they're dealing with that reality,
you know. But here's the thing. You know, you know,
we many of us had dilemmas on how to vote
for this, but it comes down to if you don't
do it in Kentucky, Alabama or Indiana or Tennessee is
(23:04):
going to get it.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
So it's just a it's a negotiation, Okay.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
I understand that. I understand that because there are fortune
five hundred companies where you have to put incentives out there.
You have to because they can't, oh yeah, because they can,
to believe war right, but they can, and believe me,
they will pick up and move to Mexico or even
another state in the United States of America. But for
whatever reason, Churchill downs get all these same breaks, and
(23:30):
what are they going to do? Pack up historic Churchill
downs and move historic Churchill downs.
Speaker 8 (23:35):
You know, they could move their headquarters, Dwight. I mean,
you never know, and we don't want that to happen.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
You know.
Speaker 8 (23:40):
It really comes down to, you know, in the nineties
when you guys were probably in the school still radio.
You know, I was there, and I was not a
player in and I was a lost ball in high weeds.
Really as a brand new legislator in the nineties when
we were trying to get a high on day transportation
transmits in that same place they're building now today. And
(24:04):
it boils down to a checklist. You know, how are
the schools in the area. What kind of incentives are
they going to give us? Uh, there's there's many things
on that checklist. Direct flights out of Louisville, believe a
big one, right, and you know they ended up going
and as Paul Patton was negotiating, they ended up taking
that transmission plant to Alabama, you know, And it's it's
(24:28):
really just a checklist of companies, say, hey, you five
states who's going to give us the best offer. And
it's just another bargaining chip on.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
The sounds like college athletes, now right, yeah, hits the
check list Alabama. But but but if if a company dead,
Hoodwig Estate, and.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
I'm not saying that's what happened, No, I don't think
that happened.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
No, But they're still using the facility, correct, and they're
used for storage.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
It's not like I mean it's built.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
Yeah, and I did this research yesterday and what I
pulled up on the internet base, but I mean still
the reporting company that they had five point nine billion
dollars with a B that that not gross and net profit.
I think two hundred and fifty million taxpayer dollars is
a dropping the bucket to somebody that makes it.
Speaker 8 (25:21):
And it was a forgivable loan. Remember this also, that
you give them that two hundred and fifty million with
the stipulation, with the stickwell well, with the hope that
they will be successful, and then they can when they're
making billions, they can give us that two fifty back.
You know, like Georgetown, who's going to argu against the
(25:41):
Toyota Plan Scott County and that was one of the
biggest incentives ever.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
For that time, Bowling Green Marth Collins.
Speaker 8 (25:49):
Martha Collins, Yeah, that's when I was instilled in school.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Here's what I hear. Uh, you know, not to indict
Ford and let them off the hook a tad it
here is to say, the Biden administration in the federal
government was like, we're giving you twelve billion, and you
are building a battery plant. You choose where, but this
is what you're doing. And Ford was like, okay, I'll
(26:14):
do that. So again, if the federal government's going to
give you twelve billion dollars to build a plan, you
do it.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Sure.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Going back to my research yesterday on Ford, and I'm
spit ball on these numbers.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
I'm going off memory, so it might be inaccurate. But
they were with.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Bees their commercial division, commercial truck division, that was up
like five point something billion. Their hybrid, the gas slash
and electric, which I've been saying since the beginning of
all this EV crap.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Why what's wrong with hybrids?
Speaker 4 (26:48):
First, until we get an infrastructure and work out all
the bugs on electric That's just me. But anyway, their
hybrid that was up in the billions, but their electric
vehicle that was down five point one day.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
They lost.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
They lost.
Speaker 8 (27:04):
You know, I spent many many summers growing up in
Butler County and Grayson County, and I have so many
friends and cousins down there.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
They don't want an electric truck.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
No, no.
Speaker 8 (27:15):
And you can put all the money you want into
it and have the government, which is really too involved
in this. But you know, you can have a government
all you want to push it. But if you know
Johnny down the street doesn't want electric f one fifty,
he ain't gonna get it.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
I'm glad you said that, because what we're dealing with
right now is the perfect example of government trying to
pick winners and losers in business.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
And John Q.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Public and these two idiots on the air, barely barely
made out of high school, we're saying electric vehicles.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
We don't have the infrastructure. It's not gonna work. It's
not gonna work. And here we are.
Speaker 8 (27:53):
Okay, you guys have been right on a few things,
if you remember some of the.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
We're right more than we were all on these kind
of things. When you look at it, you got to
look at it all, right. So here's where here's the
people that I'm really concerned about it's us in Louisville
because we pay so much taxes and goes out to
the state. But the people of Etown bought in. Yeah,
the sixteen hundred people and a majority or not majority,
I have no idea what the percentage is, moved their
(28:20):
families there with a commitment to from Ford to say,
we're going to take care of you this this area
is going to explode. Public's moved there, Kroger moved there.
Coffee shops opened, hotels started, Marriotts, making commitments, and the
people of Etown, which put up with that construction for
how many years now, are getting.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Left with the bag. I feel for Etown people.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (28:45):
Well, but here's the thing about Etown and Bowling Green
and Owensboro. We get figures, you know when I was
at the state and still do. They're public figures. They're
booming anyway. Yeah, you know, you don't have to feel
sorry for Etown or Bowling Green. The Western Kentucky is
a boom. It's a it's a region that's drawing attention
(29:05):
all over the country on how fast it's growth. So
you don't need to feel sorry for him other than
you make a great point.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
And but here's the thing.
Speaker 8 (29:13):
You know, electric repair and storage, battery electric UH, Battery
electric storage and repair is a big industry. And the
United States Military, who is only a few miles from
Fort Knox, this thing is they spend lots of money
on UH, on that looking into the future. I saw
(29:36):
an article on it the other day, like battery storage
is one of the top things that military is looking for.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Well, you know, but it's not. But it's not.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Okay, okay, look and they're and look and they're pushing
all these smaller cities like Kirstborn and Saint Matthew's and
all these smaller cities UH to start converting their lawn
mowers and blowers to electric. And I'm like, I'm looking
at him, going, are you crazy? So they're gonna have
to They're gonna they're gonna cut one park and then
(30:06):
go back and charge up or the trucks that haul
the trash away to be elect I'm like, this doesn't
come on, man, And and it temperature drops a certain
amount whatever. Plus they're not safe.
Speaker 8 (30:18):
You know, And the technology is new though, Tony and
I hate to sound like a proponent of this stuff,
but in twenty five years it'll be said, no.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
No, I said on the show, it's it's it atari
and and and and that it's when it gets to Xbox,
it'll it'll be better. And that's but.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
That's when and that's kind of my point.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
But that's when you implement it.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
That's kind of my point.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
Is what's wrong with a high if you're really worried
about the environment. What's wrong with a hybrid that's getting
forty miles per gallon until we build an infrastructure to
support a coal coal powered car?
Speaker 8 (30:53):
Yeah, you know, that's just it's it's it's just like
everything in America, it's become just a instead of just
a regular conversation, it's become a political movement.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
And that's that's runned.
Speaker 8 (31:04):
A lot of things, and it's it's it's stumped a
lot of things that good ideas that could have been.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Well, let's move on to the city. Greenberg will be
on with us at eleven thirty this morning. You're on
the Metro council. This is your second year.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Yeah, well no, it's first year.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
What your thoughts from moving from state legislation to metro council.
Speaker 8 (31:27):
You know, it's different, the issues are not as heady,
so to speak, they're more local. But I'm really getting
into it. It's it's not near as partisan as Frankfurt is.
And you know, you you you have to work with
each other because it's such parody as far as the
political structure. But party isn't that big of a deal.
(31:49):
It's more like what do you believe?
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Yeah, And I'm.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Find that though I like that.
Speaker 8 (31:54):
I'm finding that that is interesting and in funner, if
that's the right words.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Area.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
I hate to correct you on this, counselman, but it's
more fun or her. But I will correct you. Who's
got better office supplies?
Speaker 7 (32:07):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Are we gonna make on that point? What's the budget
look for Louisville? I mean we balanced it or we're
gonna have a rainy day.
Speaker 8 (32:16):
Oh, there was a surplus, and you know we made
a mid year correction or uh December there was a
mid year correction. We found that it was a you know,
you set out in July with this goes here, this
money goes there, and then there in December you were
uh reevaluate and say, well this one didn't need as
much money, let's put it over here. There's quite a
(32:37):
bit of that going on.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
But the City of Louisville is healthy.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Uh did you did they give you a choice on
the the big taco looking thing at Belvetere that they're
going to do that starts?
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Did what you thought of it?
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Isn't it true that that is your design counselman?
Speaker 1 (32:57):
It looked like a taco?
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Uh? That starts.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (33:00):
There was a lot of money from the state that
was put into the Belvedere and the City of Louisville,
you know, and it's you're going to see some changes
and hopefully they'll be good changes. My goal as a
metro councilman is to say this, let's build the city
of Louisville to where it's got some wonderful things. You
got a main street down there, You've got some great attractions,
(33:25):
but nobody's down there other just tourists are down there.
Why not build it and then build housing down there,
and like for the young professional just so they don't
have to go clear across town.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
If they want to go out to eat.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
For three thousand dollars a month, they couldna get it
right year olds not spend it three.
Speaker 8 (33:44):
But instead of building all this residential out in Fern
Creek and Valley Station, creek and gridlock. Why not build
more downtown? And that's what I'm pushing, you know, Louisville's
and nobody wants to go with me on that one.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
I know.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
To me, it's the decor car is there is there
an appetite for it?
Speaker 5 (34:05):
Right?
Speaker 2 (34:06):
People? Can I looked at it? Do I not talk
about it? We looked at hey, that would be kind
of cool to live down there. Well, we priced it
out and okay, it's twenty two hundred dollars a month. Okay,
we could do that. But then the whatever the maintenance
is right, and I'm like, okay, now it doesn't make sense.
You've got to get some affordability. You got to figure
(34:26):
out what you're doing with the Humana. If it turns
into a hotel, that's fantastic. Uh. But what you know,
I agree well with.
Speaker 8 (34:32):
The federal government and the state government, in all governments,
they put a lot of money into affordable housing. Let's
put that money downtown revitalize it. If you go to
Pittsburgh and Denver and some of these other cities across America,
they got a vibrant downtown Milwaukee, Louisville's got a dead
down tell you and I'm getting tired of.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Because it's a beautiful place.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
It's a beautiful place.
Speaker 8 (34:55):
I walk Main Street as much as I can, and
it's beautiful down there.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
But there's nobody to agree with you.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
And we had a thriving downtown at one point until
Greg Fisher destroyed it. He he did more damage to
the Little Kentucky than the seventy fourth to eight.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Okay, but so at some point we got to get
it back.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Look at the casino, right, so they built that. They
built that was a half a billion dollars whatever it was,
because not a half a billion. They were hoping to
get a half a billion year in fifth World. But
what is the place on Popolo Road is quadrupling their
take rather than that place downtown. It's not as doing
what we thought it was going to do already. So
(35:33):
you got to look at examples there. Let's real quick
move on because we're not out of time. Did Juvenile
Justice a center Frankfurt ear marks I think sixty million
dollars to build that thing a couple of years ago.
You were involved with that. What is what's the hang
up of getting this damp thing finished?
Speaker 8 (35:49):
Well, there's there's a there's a lot of codes that
when they shut it down in twenty nineteen, it was
not up to code. So now it's got to be
up to code. And there's a lot of new practices
around the country on a detention center that they're trying
to incorporate. I've been tough on the cabinet they I know,
I absolutely know they drugged their feet getting this thing started.
(36:12):
But right now they're down there working on it constantly
and doing extra shifts. And I got to hand it
to him. They're moving along and we'll have one probably
within a year and a half. It takes that long.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
You gotta get permits on certain Oh I didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
Listen.

I walked on Larry Craig's lot fifty years ago when
he opened up and he said, what are you looking for?
And I said, well, I'm looking for a car, but
(00:36):
I want to run on electricity, and you know what,
I want that car to drive itself as well. They

veteran lee. Yes, it's going to be coming by and
hanging out with us. Kevin Bratcher's coming by.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Come on.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
So the council used to be in the state Senate.
He voted for the Ford situation. Frankfurt just announced there
one hundred and fifty million over budget and we gave
two hundred and fifty million dollars to four to build
to create jobs. We'll ask Kevin Bratcher what what we
should do there.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
One of my best friends growing up, god Rest his
soul was a guy by the name of Kevin Bratcher,
and he and I were thicker than thieves and.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
About the thieves thing, right, Yo, your mic is on, Dude,
what did I say that? You said it out loud?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Me Sorry, I tried to keep it in my head.
I promise not.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
That you're wrong.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
But anyway, he passed away god Rest is so about
five years ago, and on the show I did a
tribute to him. And so, Kevin Bratch, is there.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
An unusual amount of people that you used to run
with that have passed away in the last ten years.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Yeah, there's a lot of them that most of them
have passed. But my point is his name was Kevin Bratcher. Yeah, yeah,
and I said goodbye to him on our show and
played a little.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
And everybody fuck so Kevin at the state senator, So
Kevin Bratscher, the representative at the time the counts went.
Now his phone is blowing up on it and people
are calling him.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Caught his relatives, his brother saying I'm so sorry about
your brother.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
We also have the mayor coming on at eleven thirty,
so Greenberg will come by. He's doing what sort of
an end of the year What we did this year,
what we didn't do this.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Yeah, I think he's got seventy percent off of the cars.
No what he said he was doing some kind of
end of the year thing. No, No, it's the mayor's
end of the year sound you know, Look it's an
election years.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
It's election years.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
He's gonna do, you know, the fun segments we do
are going to turn into here's what I did. But
Craig will be here at eleven thirty, So we've got
a busy show for you to day. I can't confirm
Donald Trump, was it Tuesday night or Monday night he
had his speech where he dressed the names. It was
like Tuesday Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Well, hang on, let me ask about Google machine he.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Had a press confer or not a press conference, I'm sorry.
He had a statement the White House address, and he
threw in there that he was going to give a
little stipend, a little gift, a little kiss to all
of the service.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Men and women. It was Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
It was Wednesday. So get this. I don't think anyone
would argue with us that anything that the government does
is glacial. It moves slow. Well, I mean just the
marijuana medical marijuana in Kentucky is a perfect example. Oh yeah,
(04:49):
they passed this a year and a half, two years
ago whenever, and and it's just now getting dispensaries open.
It's the government. It's glacial. How this guy, because I
could confirmed my son's set the picture of it today.
Seventeen hundred and seventy whatever dollars is an account. It's
in his account, and it's tax free.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
So basically it's uh, you know, it's his taxes hit
my paycheck and everything that comes.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Out of it's about thirty five to forty.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Yeah, so imagine that it's it's close to a three
grand bonus. I say, I don't know how he does it,
but he doesn't blink. He has an idea and he
goes and does it. Here's the thing. John's twenty two.
He doesn't need the money. I'm sure he's he would disagree,
But I'm thinking of the enlisted families, the enlisted families
(05:40):
that don't have a lot and have multiple kids that
we talk about it with the USA cares all the time,
right right, I think about those families getting seventeen hundred
dollars a couple of days before Christmas that was dropped
in their checking account.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
That's exactly where I was going right before Christmas. What
you get this right before? Oh, I know, less than
a week before Christmas.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
I wonder if.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
Our boss, Bob Baffer, Bob Paffer, it's Bob, Bob Knight,
Bob pitt it's Bob Bob Pittman, Bobby McGee, if he hate,
if he hung out with Donald some more, maybe we
at iHeart would get us something like that.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Well, who's to say that it's not going to be,
you know, the very last second that I'm hanging out
with my mother in law on Christmas, even though be
a and it'll be old Bobby Pittman at my door.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Because you know, a lot of times.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
The CEOs they want to do it personally because they
love seeing.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
The reaction, like Ed McMahon with a big check.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Because they want to say, hey, you know this nine
to noon guy and market fifty two.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
We really want to see the reaction on his face.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
So that is a huge deal. I just wanted to
mention that. So he got that before he got on
a plane. And by the way, he is in Baltimore.
Somewhere in Louisville's tarmac is is shut down. I guess
because the wind. So they're in a holding.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Good thing.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
Dwight's not flying out today.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah, I know. That's what I love about planes is, Uh.
Speaker 7 (07:05):
We realized we're gonna be here for five hours and
you're not going anywhere so long. Instead of going back
to the gate, we're gonna let you sit next to
a stranger breathing his uh foul mouth there.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Uh, let's stay on planes. Horrific plane crash kills NASCAR driver,
retired driver and his entire family. I know Greg Biffle
and his family. Uh, he is a for sure Hall
of Famer.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
I'm not a NASCAR person, but for one understand he's
been raided in the top yeah, seventy five almost He's
one a lot, and that's you know, his NASCAR has
been around for so long that that's something to say.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
There.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Here's what I'm wondering, and I haven't doubled into the story.
Maybe an answer is for me, was he flying this
plane himself?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Because I didn't. I didn't list a pilot.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
He is a pilot. Okay, he Okay, you're right, these
are the questions we need answer. So, uh, he is
a pilot. He not just planes, but helicopters. When that uh,
North Carolina and the floods and the and the whatever. Uh,
he was flying helicopter rescue missions.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
How do you know what? Here's the thing?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
How cool?
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Are no kidd like?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
How do we compete with that?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Now? You can't?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
So is John mcclan so he was flying, he was
helping people flying helicopters. I'm gonna guess that he probably was.
There was a fan. There was a total of seven
people on the plane, uh, including the two kids and
the wife.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Yeah, that's well, the whole thing is a heartbreaker.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
But here's the thing, Son Rider and Greg's daughter Emma.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
I know.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
There were two pilots on the plane. One of them
was him and there was another guy as well. His
name's not.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
It looks like they were headed to Florida for Christmas. Yeah,
and uh there they interview I saw a video they
interviewed guys a golf courses right next to this airport,
just like at the Bowman Field, there's Seneca Park.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
They were teeing off on the tea box and he
said the plane just did a nose dive straight into
the ground and exploded. Golly, it's just a sad story
right before Christmas too, and I can't imagine. So, uh,
we'll get more information as we come out. But they
had obviously had some issues because they took off and
(09:33):
then they circled back. I think they were trying to
get back.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
To the Oh so they're trying to get back to Yeah, wow,
trying to get back all right, So now and then
at the same time this is going on.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Man, It's just the news cycle is crazy. I just
want to hear about Santa and.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Right, where's the Papa Noel's stories?
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Man, it's Friday about the reindeer that made his way
somehow into a peppermint paddy uh factory?
Speaker 2 (10:01):
And then what's the German evil Santa Crompus Crumpus Trumpus.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
About the Christmas man Jack Crompus.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Uh, that's what I'd even like to hear Crumpus, you
know where you know, like sometimes what wives will do
for their husbands is on Christmas Eve or Christmas they'll
dress up in a sexy Santa like naughty. You know.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Susan tried it one more one time and it works.
We went with Crampis and she pulls that one out perfectly.
So that's what I get on Christmas Eve, all right,
So that she comes up with her crampas feeting.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Bad boy.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
She does.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Yeah, she tortures me and snores. Yeah, it's horrible.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Uh, it's the scene both our wives could be could
have been in those Lord of the Ring movies. Their feet,
I mean from ankles up smoke show.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Oh that reminds me.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I've got here. I found this and get to you
right now. It's a coupon fifty percent of electrolysis for feet.
Susan loves this lady really absolutely.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Bernice is her name. You're a love two all right.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
While the plane crash story is going on, we're shocked.
We're eating in the kitchen. I can't believe what I'm watching. Uh,
And then now last night, after they told us we
are not connecting the MIT professor killing with the Brown shooting, right,
the University of Brown, Brown University shooting. Well, guess what,
same dude he rented a car. It's an interesting story.
(11:37):
Who this guy is. Apparently he had a relate, he
knew this professor at MIT, so apparently he shot up
Brown drove to however, I think Baltimore changed cars and
then went to MIT or with this guy's off our
house and killed him. Unbelievable. And then they found him
dead this morning.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Wow, man alive.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
It's crazy.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
It's it's it's God, It's it's lunacy, it really is.
It's common sense versus lunacy at this point, if there's
any if your eyes aren't open now, oh.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
I know, my gosh, I don't know. I don't know.
All right? Are you sure? Hang on? I want to
change the squirrel? Are you quite sure?
Speaker 4 (12:14):
And John Alden, I'm gonna ask you first the video
I said you and Tony last night, are you not sure?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
That's ai?
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Because now I'm starting to believing it to be real
because it's so because at first I thought, well, it's
a bit. It's like I started, it's funny I sent
to you all. I mean, he said, yeah, that's a
I and I thought this thing is so stupid, it's
probably real.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Uh. I will tell you this. It's it's eye opening
of Rhode Island, the state of Rhode Island, Brown University,
because the word is, Look, all the IVY leagues are woke.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Yeah right, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Harvard a couple of years ago had segregated graduations because
everybody that wasn't white or Jewish was uncomfortable at going
to graduation with white people, so they separated their graduations
for like two years.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
What did so? Now, Martin Luther fight for you. So
that's crazy, right, Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
They say Brown is the by far, the wokest out
of all the IVY leagues. Right, So that you see
all these videos where the president of the university six
hours after the shooting doesn't even know what classroom it was,
what class it was, who was there, nothing, nothing, So
and then they dive into the You saw the police
chief in the town. The police chief's nephew is the
(13:32):
biggest drug cartel dealer of fentanyl in all of Rhode Island.
You're like, what, what, how do you First of all,
if you're the police chief. You know who the biggest
drug dealer is in your area, right, I mean you
know that they know it. LMPD will tell you who
the drug dealers are a little they got their name,
they know where they live. But uh, but you're telling
(13:54):
me the nephew. You didn't know the nephew.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Well, I we'll get back to the university and segregation.
So they're saying that they're so woke, and then they
they bring back segregation.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
No, it was, yes, Harvard did it for two years.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
That's insane.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah, they segregated. They had everybody had a separate graduation
except for the white and Jewish kids. They had their
own graduates. But it was because the other groups.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
That's lunacy.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
The other groups has to not bet with them. Wow,
it's insane.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Wow, it's insane.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
It is insane.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
So, uh that will tell you how how woke brown is.
And it's uh it is. I We're gonna play the video.
It's clean, right, I asked I double last Yes, it's
it's clean, and it's so stupid that at some point
last night. Sorry, I've seen I've seen press conferences that
were very similar.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
That's what I'm saying, so it's so stupid.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Did it last night? I thought, you know what, this
is so stupid. It probably is true.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
So I just got when I pulled up the link,
it's telling me the I think the video may have
been removed. I don't know if it's because it it's
fake or not.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Well, babe, well, here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Some of these press conferences are so bad. It's believable
that that's what I'm talking about. That ten years ago
would have been a Saturday Night Live bit, right, And
that's what I said in my text to you guys.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
It looks Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 2 (15:16):

Oh, good morning, everybody. Welcome to Tony Dwight Show, brought
by the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety on the Road
today at Craig and Landris on Shelbyville Road. I had
to drive a wopping thirty seconds.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
To how ironic the gig? How long do you have
to drive ironic? Uh?
Speaker 4 (19:15):
Kevin Bratcher joins the show as we hear Pantera's walk.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
What's up, buddy?
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Yeah? Hey, how you got navy here?
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Points?
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I was worried about.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Him there too. I thought we werenna whoop him in there.
I'll take it. You're looking great, Councilman Bratcher. You walk
about ten fifteen miles a day. Former state representative now
councilman Kevin Bratcher. How do you get make time to walk?
Because it's basically a half marathon.
Speaker 8 (19:45):
Ten to fifteen thousand steps okay, I thought was a
mile during the summer. I'll head up to twelve miles
a day.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Wow, Because that's basically a mini marathon a day. How
do you find time to do that? Time?
Speaker 3 (20:00):
And you did it?
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Shifts or what you know?
Speaker 8 (20:02):
There's a lot of phone calls you make when you're
in this uh, you know, yeah, you walk and talk.
I walk and talk, and I do a lot of
audio books. I'm getting a lot smarter.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Now that you're out of the Senate, and I might
start start doing that too, because a lot of the
phone calls I make involved panting.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Anyway, So all right, Kevin Bratcher used to be the
state Senate. So you voted for the everybody did see
how sorry? And you voted for the Ford initiative and
the federal government initiative to build some battery plants in Etown.
A lot of people had questions about it. I know
you did, uh, and then you voted yes for it.
(20:39):
Of course, no one knew that well maybe this show maybe.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Too, that it might be dis shockeys.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Long story short, they had to let go of the
sixteen hundred people they were thinking they were going to
get five thousand people. That's why the state gave two
hundred and fifty million dollars to Ford for job creation.
If there's no jobs, what should the state due with.
Speaker 8 (21:00):
Fourd I like him to get the money back, you know,
And and if you know, there are a lot of
things up in the air right now, you know, and
and Governor Shecher. You know, he's saying that there's a
stipulations in the original contract, which you know, I didn't
have privy to see. It's kind of an open records
request to see the original contract.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (21:20):
But he says that there's ways to recoup that money.
I'd like to see him work harder on that and
not be bashing the other party just because he's running
from the.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Second ass Well, he says a lot of stuff.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
I mean, during his campaign ads, everything that he took
credit for he actually vetoed, and the Republican majority super
majority in Frankfurt overrode his vetos.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Thank god.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
And as a result, all of these laws and all
these accomplishments that he took credit for, ninety percent of
them he vetoed.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
It drives me crazy what I.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Saw when you first saw that bill coming through. Everyone
was super excited. Who wouldn't. It's it's I know, the
federal government gave Ford twelve billion dollars, so the two
hundred and fifty that we could get back, but he's
not going to ask for it, right, I Mean, it's
not like, Look, if Ford wasn't in the state already,
you go, look, give us the money back, bro, but
(22:17):
they they're already committeeing billions of dollars to the other plans.
He's not going to ask, right, Yeah.
Speaker 8 (22:22):
Well, you know, the bottom line is Ford has been
a great partner from Kentucky and especially Louisville. I mean,
how many friends do we have that work out there?
They living out there? Ever, So you know, Ford was asking,
and you know, they had this idea they were going
to go into the next the future with this battery stuff,
and it's just like John Q Public said, I don't
(22:43):
really want that, and so they're dealing with that reality,
you know. But here's the thing. You know, you know,
we many of us had dilemmas on how to vote
for this, but it comes down to if you don't
do it in Kentucky, Alabama or Indiana or Tennessee is
(23:04):
going to get it.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
So it's just a it's a negotiation, Okay.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
I understand that. I understand that because there are fortune
five hundred companies where you have to put incentives out there.
You have to because they can't, oh yeah, because they can,
to believe war right, but they can, and believe me,
they will pick up and move to Mexico or even
another state in the United States of America. But for
whatever reason, Churchill downs get all these same breaks, and
(23:30):
what are they going to do? Pack up historic Churchill
downs and move historic Churchill downs.
Speaker 8 (23:35):
You know, they could move their headquarters, Dwight. I mean,
you never know, and we don't want that to happen.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
You know.
Speaker 8 (23:40):
It really comes down to, you know, in the nineties
when you guys were probably in the school still radio.
You know, I was there, and I was not a
player in and I was a lost ball in high weeds.
Really as a brand new legislator in the nineties when
we were trying to get a high on day transportation
transmits in that same place they're building now today. And
(24:04):
it boils down to a checklist. You know, how are
the schools in the area. What kind of incentives are
they going to give us? Uh, there's there's many things
on that checklist. Direct flights out of Louisville, believe a
big one, right, and you know they ended up going
and as Paul Patton was negotiating, they ended up taking
that transmission plant to Alabama, you know, And it's it's
(24:28):
really just a checklist of companies, say, hey, you five
states who's going to give us the best offer. And
it's just another bargaining chip on.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
The sounds like college athletes, now right, yeah, hits the
check list Alabama. But but but if if a company dead,
Hoodwig Estate, and.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
I'm not saying that's what happened, No, I don't think
that happened.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
No, But they're still using the facility, correct, and they're
used for storage.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
It's not like I mean it's built.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
Yeah, and I did this research yesterday and what I
pulled up on the internet base, but I mean still
the reporting company that they had five point nine billion
dollars with a B that that not gross and net profit.
I think two hundred and fifty million taxpayer dollars is
a dropping the bucket to somebody that makes it.
Speaker 8 (25:21):
And it was a forgivable loan. Remember this also, that
you give them that two hundred and fifty million with
the stipulation, with the stickwell well, with the hope that
they will be successful, and then they can when they're
making billions, they can give us that two fifty back.
You know, like Georgetown, who's going to argu against the
(25:41):
Toyota Plan Scott County and that was one of the
biggest incentives ever.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
For that time, Bowling Green Marth Collins.
Speaker 8 (25:49):
Martha Collins, Yeah, that's when I was instilled in school.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Here's what I hear. Uh, you know, not to indict
Ford and let them off the hook a tad it
here is to say, the Biden administration in the federal
government was like, we're giving you twelve billion, and you
are building a battery plant. You choose where, but this
is what you're doing. And Ford was like, okay, I'll
(26:14):
do that. So again, if the federal government's going to
give you twelve billion dollars to build a plan, you
do it.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Sure.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Going back to my research yesterday on Ford, and I'm
spit ball on these numbers.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
I'm going off memory, so it might be inaccurate. But
they were with.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Bees their commercial division, commercial truck division, that was up
like five point something billion. Their hybrid, the gas slash
and electric, which I've been saying since the beginning of
all this EV crap.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Why what's wrong with hybrids?
Speaker 4 (26:48):
First, until we get an infrastructure and work out all
the bugs on electric That's just me. But anyway, their
hybrid that was up in the billions, but their electric
vehicle that was down five point one day.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
They lost.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
They lost.
Speaker 8 (27:04):
You know, I spent many many summers growing up in
Butler County and Grayson County, and I have so many
friends and cousins down there.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
They don't want an electric truck.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
No, no.
Speaker 8 (27:15):
And you can put all the money you want into
it and have the government, which is really too involved
in this. But you know, you can have a government
all you want to push it. But if you know
Johnny down the street doesn't want electric f one fifty,
he ain't gonna get it.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
I'm glad you said that, because what we're dealing with
right now is the perfect example of government trying to
pick winners and losers in business.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
And John Q.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Public and these two idiots on the air, barely barely
made out of high school, we're saying electric vehicles.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
We don't have the infrastructure. It's not gonna work. It's
not gonna work. And here we are.
Speaker 8 (27:53):
Okay, you guys have been right on a few things,
if you remember some of the.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
We're right more than we were all on these kind
of things. When you look at it, you got to
look at it all, right. So here's where here's the
people that I'm really concerned about it's us in Louisville
because we pay so much taxes and goes out to
the state. But the people of Etown bought in. Yeah,
the sixteen hundred people and a majority or not majority,
I have no idea what the percentage is, moved their
(28:20):
families there with a commitment to from Ford to say,
we're going to take care of you this this area
is going to explode. Public's moved there, Kroger moved there.
Coffee shops opened, hotels started, Marriotts, making commitments, and the
people of Etown, which put up with that construction for
how many years now, are getting.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Left with the bag. I feel for Etown people.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (28:45):
Well, but here's the thing about Etown and Bowling Green
and Owensboro. We get figures, you know when I was
at the state and still do. They're public figures. They're
booming anyway. Yeah, you know, you don't have to feel
sorry for Etown or Bowling Green. The Western Kentucky is
a boom. It's a it's a region that's drawing attention
(29:05):
all over the country on how fast it's growth. So
you don't need to feel sorry for him other than
you make a great point.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
And but here's the thing.
Speaker 8 (29:13):
You know, electric repair and storage, battery electric UH, Battery
electric storage and repair is a big industry. And the
United States Military, who is only a few miles from
Fort Knox, this thing is they spend lots of money
on UH, on that looking into the future. I saw
(29:36):
an article on it the other day, like battery storage
is one of the top things that military is looking for.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Well, you know, but it's not. But it's not.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Okay, okay, look and they're and look and they're pushing
all these smaller cities like Kirstborn and Saint Matthew's and
all these smaller cities UH to start converting their lawn
mowers and blowers to electric. And I'm like, I'm looking
at him, going, are you crazy? So they're gonna have
to They're gonna they're gonna cut one park and then
(30:06):
go back and charge up or the trucks that haul
the trash away to be elect I'm like, this doesn't
come on, man, And and it temperature drops a certain
amount whatever. Plus they're not safe.
Speaker 8 (30:18):
You know, And the technology is new though, Tony and
I hate to sound like a proponent of this stuff,
but in twenty five years it'll be said, no.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
No, I said on the show, it's it's it atari
and and and and that it's when it gets to Xbox,
it'll it'll be better. And that's but.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
That's when and that's kind of my point.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
But that's when you implement it.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
That's kind of my point.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
Is what's wrong with a high if you're really worried
about the environment. What's wrong with a hybrid that's getting
forty miles per gallon until we build an infrastructure to
support a coal coal powered car?
Speaker 8 (30:53):
Yeah, you know, that's just it's it's it's just like
everything in America, it's become just a instead of just
a regular conversation, it's become a political movement.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
And that's that's runned.
Speaker 8 (31:04):
A lot of things, and it's it's it's stumped a
lot of things that good ideas that could have been.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Well, let's move on to the city. Greenberg will be
on with us at eleven thirty this morning. You're on
the Metro council. This is your second year.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Yeah, well no, it's first year.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
What your thoughts from moving from state legislation to metro council.
Speaker 8 (31:27):
You know, it's different, the issues are not as heady,
so to speak, they're more local. But I'm really getting
into it. It's it's not near as partisan as Frankfurt is.
And you know, you you you have to work with
each other because it's such parody as far as the
political structure. But party isn't that big of a deal.
(31:49):
It's more like what do you believe?
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Yeah, And I'm.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Find that though I like that.
Speaker 8 (31:54):
I'm finding that that is interesting and in funner, if
that's the right words.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Area.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
I hate to correct you on this, counselman, but it's
more fun or her. But I will correct you. Who's
got better office supplies?
Speaker 7 (32:07):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Are we gonna make on that point? What's the budget
look for Louisville? I mean we balanced it or we're
gonna have a rainy day.
Speaker 8 (32:16):
Oh, there was a surplus, and you know we made
a mid year correction or uh December there was a
mid year correction. We found that it was a you know,
you set out in July with this goes here, this
money goes there, and then there in December you were
uh reevaluate and say, well this one didn't need as
much money, let's put it over here. There's quite a
(32:37):
bit of that going on.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
But the City of Louisville is healthy.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Uh did you did they give you a choice on
the the big taco looking thing at Belvetere that they're
going to do that starts?
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Did what you thought of it?
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Isn't it true that that is your design counselman?
Speaker 1 (32:57):
It looked like a taco?
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Uh? That starts.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (33:00):
There was a lot of money from the state that
was put into the Belvedere and the City of Louisville,
you know, and it's you're going to see some changes
and hopefully they'll be good changes. My goal as a
metro councilman is to say this, let's build the city
of Louisville to where it's got some wonderful things. You
got a main street down there, You've got some great attractions,
(33:25):
but nobody's down there other just tourists are down there.
Why not build it and then build housing down there,
and like for the young professional just so they don't
have to go clear across town.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
If they want to go out to eat.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
For three thousand dollars a month, they couldna get it
right year olds not spend it three.
Speaker 8 (33:44):
But instead of building all this residential out in Fern
Creek and Valley Station, creek and gridlock. Why not build
more downtown? And that's what I'm pushing, you know, Louisville's
and nobody wants to go with me on that one.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
I know.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
To me, it's the decor car is there is there
an appetite for it?
Speaker 5 (34:05):
Right?
Speaker 2 (34:06):
People? Can I looked at it? Do I not talk
about it? We looked at hey, that would be kind
of cool to live down there. Well, we priced it
out and okay, it's twenty two hundred dollars a month. Okay,
we could do that. But then the whatever the maintenance
is right, and I'm like, okay, now it doesn't make sense.
You've got to get some affordability. You got to figure
(34:26):
out what you're doing with the Humana. If it turns
into a hotel, that's fantastic. Uh. But what you know,
I agree well with.
Speaker 8 (34:32):
The federal government and the state government, in all governments,
they put a lot of money into affordable housing. Let's
put that money downtown revitalize it. If you go to
Pittsburgh and Denver and some of these other cities across America,
they got a vibrant downtown Milwaukee, Louisville's got a dead
down tell you and I'm getting tired of.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Because it's a beautiful place.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
It's a beautiful place.
Speaker 8 (34:55):
I walk Main Street as much as I can, and
it's beautiful down there.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
But there's nobody to agree with you.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
And we had a thriving downtown at one point until
Greg Fisher destroyed it. He he did more damage to
the Little Kentucky than the seventy fourth to eight.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Okay, but so at some point we got to get
it back.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Look at the casino, right, so they built that. They
built that was a half a billion dollars whatever it was,
because not a half a billion. They were hoping to
get a half a billion year in fifth World. But
what is the place on Popolo Road is quadrupling their
take rather than that place downtown. It's not as doing
what we thought it was going to do already. So
(35:33):
you got to look at examples there. Let's real quick
move on because we're not out of time. Did Juvenile
Justice a center Frankfurt ear marks I think sixty million
dollars to build that thing a couple of years ago.
You were involved with that. What is what's the hang
up of getting this damp thing finished?
Speaker 8 (35:49):
Well, there's there's a there's a lot of codes that
when they shut it down in twenty nineteen, it was
not up to code. So now it's got to be
up to code. And there's a lot of new practices
around the country on a detention center that they're trying
to incorporate. I've been tough on the cabinet they I know,
I absolutely know they drugged their feet getting this thing started.
(36:12):
But right now they're down there working on it constantly
and doing extra shifts. And I got to hand it
to him. They're moving along and we'll have one probably
within a year and a half. It takes that long.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
You gotta get permits on certain Oh I didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
Listen.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
