Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Wednesday's Hero. Today's hero is James E. Sweat's
name of the story is Wildcat Defense over Guadalcanal, Western Pacific,
nineteen forty three. James Sweat learned to fly in junior
college in San Manteo, California, and graduated from civilian pilot
training program just before Pearl Harbor with four hundred and

(00:22):
fifty hours in the air. He had listed in the
Navy and became an aviation cadet, and when he was
halfway through the program, one of his officers persuaded him
to become a Marine Corps pilot. Lieutenant Sweat landed on
Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands spring of nineteen forty three
as part of a marine fighting Squadron two two one.

(00:44):
He had not yet been in combat as of the
morning of April seventh, when he led a squadron of
Grumming Wildcats on routine dawn patrol. Upon landing to refuel,
he learned that Japanese Admiral Irosaku Yamamoto had ordered a
major strike against Guadalcanal. In all, seventy six American planes

(01:04):
would defend against a wave of one hundred and fifty
Japanese bombers and fighter escorts. Sweats Wildcats immediately got back
in the air and engaged a formation of twenty Japanese
die bombers that were readying for an attack on an
American ships below.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
He got company sutra runs.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
In the intense action of the next few minutes, always
wondering if the zeros above him would pounce on him
and the other Wildcats. Sweat shot down seven of the
die bombers. He was going for an eighth when friendly
fire for an American anne aircraft gun had punched a
hole through his wing. Low on ammunition, he drew really
close to the Japanese plane from behind as the rear

(01:49):
gunner of the dive bomber fired on him, hitting his
engine and shattering his windshield. Sweat fired his last few rounds,
killing the gunner, setting the plane on fire. In this
single combat mischief, lasting little more than fifteen minutes, he
had become an ace go on shoot down eight more
Japanese aircraft during his combat tour in the Solomons, sweats

(02:14):
Wildcat lost altitude rapidly, too low to bail out, he
crashed landed in the ocean hard. He jumped out in
the water. As the plane began sank. He was worried
that the blood from his broken nose would attract sharks,
but a coastcard picket boat soon spotted him and came alongside.
Are you an American? One of the soldiers yelled, damn right,

(02:35):
I am. He yelled back for his actions on that
memorable day in April seventh Lieutenants Sweat received the Medal
of Honor on October tenth, nineteen forty three, from Major
General Ralph Mitchell in a brief ceremony on an airstrip
in Santo Island. In the spring of nineteen forty four,
he was flown to Washington to meet President Franklin D. Roosevelt,

(02:58):
who said to him many hardy congratulations.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
Son.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Sweats spent the next several weeks training in a new
squadron of FU Corsair fighter pilots, then returned to the
Pacific and was stationed aboard the USS Bunker Hill as
a career pilot. On May eleventh, nineteen forty five, as
he was flying above the Bunker Hill, two Kamikazi scored
direct hits on the carrier, making it impossible for him

(03:26):
to land roa island.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
I'm counting maybe thirty bombers and heavy fodder cover.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Here that wo After putting down dye markers to aid
the rescue of the sailors who had jumped overboard, he
rallied the two dozen planes in the area and led
them to the USS Enterprise, where they landed safely. Today's
hero is James Sweat, first Lieutenant, US Marine Corps. He
was born June fifteenth, nineteen twenty, in Seattle, Washington. He

(03:54):
died January twentieth, two thousand and nine, in Reading, California.
Name of the story is Wildcat Defense. At the beginning
of the war. You know, Americans have had the best
equipment for a long time. But at the beginning of
the war, these pilots are out flying the Japanese in

(04:16):
way better planes. Now towards the end of it, that
wasn't the case. We got to it and got and
made better planes, But at that time we were just
out flying them. And it's just great story. Great story,
all right.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Wednesday's hero, Thank you, well done. Tony Venettian has brought
to you by horse Soldier Bourbon first boots on the
ground in Afghanistan after nine to eleven, every bottle is
forged in fire from the Steal from the Twin Towers
Horse Soldier Bourbon and you just watched twelve Strong.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
I did to watch it this weekend with Jackie and
it's such a great It's one of those that once
you start watching it, don't I'm watching the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
It reminds you a lot of a young Matt Sanders,
White Witten or Matt Sanders. Matt Sanders LMPD, how you doing, man,
Good morning, gentlemen. No press conf day because you're in
your gym shore. Hello, Kitty t s.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
Already had one yesterday and last week and first taking
the day off.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
So let me give it to you on behalf of LMPD.
Great job on Louder than Life and Bourbon Beyond.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Wow, thank you, Thank you Gerald rest on Bourbon Beyond.
And how many for Louder in Life?

Speaker 4 (05:19):
Not many, if any?

Speaker 3 (05:20):
If any? Okay, not incredible.

Speaker 4 (05:22):
There was like sixty to seventy thousand people there per day.
I think sleep Token on Friday brought in like eighty
two thousand, and we didn't have any issues.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
What your opinion is, It's the greatest line, which is
don't judge a book by its cover. You really love
the louder in life crowd.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
Oh you talked to any officer that worked that event.
We absolutely fall in love with that crowd. Man. They
are they are there to have a good time and
they don't cause trouble.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
You know.

Speaker 4 (05:49):
We may have had a couple of people that had
a little too much to drink and may had some
dehydration issues, you know, because how hot it was Thursday
and Friday and Saturday. But for the most part, man,
that is just a great crowd. Those metal heads just
want to rock out and they did and you know,
they were patient getting home. It's it's tough for us
to x fill sixty five thousand people out of one

(06:09):
little area. Everyone was patient, everyone was singing and just
dancing in the street and the crosswalks and stuff. We
were able to get everybody home safe.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
And here's the task that we're talking about LMBD taking on.
This was now and is the largest festival concert festival
in North America.

Speaker 4 (06:27):
That's a those type of people, Yeah, we felt it day.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
We look at me and you say, those type of
people men. But for example, like you said, over eighty
thousand on that Friday, Yeah, sleep token sleep token man.

Speaker 4 (06:42):
They brought it, and what I learned was, you know,
they got popular over the last like twelve to eighteen
months internationally, and it's the cheapest ticket to see them
in North America. Oh wow, So that's why they they
came to Louder than Life. You know, we had there
was eighty two thousand people in mexicapacity was seventy. So
they oversold a little bit there, and we felt it.

(07:03):
Friday night, especially when I was directing traffic. I heard
Friday night was the worst night to get out of there.
This morning for some folks, that's an exaggeration. I I
was home by one.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
There's so many great stories that come out of this,
and then one of them that I call wind of
is there was a little girl. Listen, we're talking about
crowds of seventy for Loud in Life, seventy eighty thousand
people at night, there was a young girl forget her age,
let's say seven. She gets lost, separated from her mother
and father, and there's actually a picture out there somewhere

(07:33):
of an LMPD officer down on bed and knee giving
the child a seat to sit on on that leg,
and he stayed with her. He called in, got the
report and says, this little child's mother and father are missing.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
Let's find him. I'm laughing.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
He sits there with this child for thirty minutes or
so until the parents. There's so many heartwarming stories come out.
Do you know the officer's name on that one?

Speaker 3 (07:57):
You're laughing, I am laughing.

Speaker 4 (08:00):
You know, we we this came up yesterday and that
is actually uh our homicide commander.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Oh my god, it less gags.

Speaker 4 (08:10):
He's working security and uh that little girl that's that
post started going viral yesterday and it gave me a
good chuckle. That's actually his daughter. Okay, his daughter was
down there with with mom and uh she was in
the crowd and uh so the story never happened. Wait

(08:30):
a minute, so listen, so listen. So kid was down
there with his uh with with with mom and she
got a little hot in the crowd or whatever, so
he pulled her over and gave her a little rest
for a little bit.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
But I read it on the internet. I thought it
was true, exactly the same thing. I thought there were
stock gaps in the Internet to prevent false information.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Okay, all right, so great, it was a great turnout.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
Us a story tell us a good story.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
No, okay, No, we got to move to the new
the new gigs, the new digs. So tess the last
couple of weekends. They're gonna flip them next time.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
That's just go aheadn't play anything, all right.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
So the old headquarters, how long have you been waiting
for the new one? And then tell us the big
difference between the two.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
Yes, the six thirty three West Jefferson Street was LP
headquarters for fifty five years. And at one point in
time when I was in that building in twenty nineteen,
I had sewage leaking on the chief's desk. So it
was deemed we can't occupy that building anymore. Right, it was,
it was condemned, and so uh man, we had to

(09:34):
tear that sucker down. And so what happened was is
that half of our staff moved over to Taylor. Taylor,
my god, look who's calling me? He was probably went
shut up. Half half of our staff moved.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
To zero standards away, probably one of fifty thousand radio station.

Speaker 4 (09:53):
He's gonna yeah. So half of our staff moved to
Taylor Boulevard. The other half moved over to ormsby seven
to one. He's sort of that's split us up. It's
hard to do business when you have a chief staff
and legal and human resources and executives that we're split up.
We got to dravel anyway. So we started building our
new headquarters about four years ago, and it finally finished
here at six oh one West chest at the heart

(10:13):
of downtown. And we moved in Monday, and the ceremonial
flag raising happened at eight am to signify occupancy of
the building. The mayor and the chief you know, blessed
us well and and then so we moved down there.
So right now, just a fourth floor is finished, so
it's it's the old AT and T building, right. It
was cheaper to buy that and refurbish it than it
was to build a brand building. So decade physically responsible

(10:36):
with the tax payers.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
I gladly would have showed up and spoke, how you
gotta do this? Ask let's talk about wait a minute.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
So the fourth floor is ready, when do you get
everybody in there?

Speaker 4 (10:47):
Yeah, so it's going to be a couple of years
before we finish everything out. So the fourth floor is done,
we're in there. So there's like my office, the chief staff, legal,
human resources, several other professional staff is in there.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
Now.

Speaker 4 (10:58):
The building is a block you know, it's a block long.
You know, it takes up the whole six hundred block
of Chestnut, and it's fifty five thousand square feet.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
Oh, it's perfect.

Speaker 4 (11:04):
And so now we have funding to finish the third floor,
which construction is going on actively on the third floor
as we speak, and then we'll move more units in there, URTCC,
Victim Services, eventually homicide, robbery. I mean, when it's all
said and done, in a couple of years, they'll be
five to six hundred sworn officers in that building, bringing
them downtown.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
And that brings camaraderie, right, I mean that's important because
everyone's together, just.

Speaker 4 (11:28):
Being able to walk a flight of stairs into somebody
else's office and get an answer that you need as
supposed to driving a halfway around the city, you know.
And yeah, so having everybody together in the heart of
downtown is a is a mission and we're gonna we're
gonna see it through.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
Sar Ja Matte Sanders joins the show. L mp D.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Let's talk about one of your new initiatives. Because I
saw where y'all were doing this and immediately I thought, oh,
people are gonna freak out on this. It's explained to me,
and I want you explain it to the listeners because
I could see where people would be it on an
alert by reading this and misinterpreting things I'm talking about.

(12:05):
LMPD is requesting for help. Just go ahead and talk
about that.

Speaker 4 (12:10):
You're talking about projects save a cas thing.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
Yeah, the Yeah.

Speaker 4 (12:13):
So we had a press conference yesterday out at a
gun range in blanken Baker. Next Level hosted us. They
partnered with us actually, and so we're launching this initiative
that is not it's new to Louisville, but it's not
new across the country, which a tall police started this.
And here's what we're doing. In summary, we're asking you,
when you legally discharge your firearm and a gun range,
for example, we're asking you to collect two showcasings and

(12:35):
put them in an envelope and take it home with you.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
That's it.

Speaker 4 (12:38):
That's the summary of what we're asking. Take two shellcasing.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
You keep yourself, You keep your own showcase.

Speaker 4 (12:46):
Keep them yourself in an envelope. You'll write your make,
model serial number on the envelope. Take it home, put
it in a separate place from your fire and put
it in your closet, put it in your dresser drawer,
put it in that junk drawer, in the kitchen counter,
or whatever. Take it home yourself. Just keep it. We
don't want it. We're not going to take it, even
if if you try to give it to us. Take it. Subsequently,
when your gun gets stolen from your unlocked car, out

(13:06):
of your glove box, we're going to ask you, hey,
do you participate in projects save a casing? And eventually,
over the years, somebody's gonna say yes, and we're going
to ask for those shellcasings. What are we going to
do with those showcasings? We're gonna ship them off to
the ATF and we're gonna put them in our NIBEN system,
which is our nationally integrated Ballistic Information Network. That's what
that stands for. All that means is when a firing

(13:28):
pin hits a primer on a round, it creates what
we're going to say is a fingerprint. A firing pin
makes a distinct marking on the back of a shellcasing.
And so if we have those shellcasings that you provide
to us, those spent shellcasings that you're giving to us, already.
We're going to put those on file. We'll be able
to generate leads from that, because most likely when people

(13:49):
steal guns, they go to use them in other parts
of our city.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
Yes, and so we.

Speaker 4 (13:54):
Want to collect shellcasings as much as we can and
paint this picture and generate leads. And we're asking for
the public helping doing that. Again, this is not a
data collection or a gun registry. Nobody on the police
department wants your guns, your legal guns. We're all to
a ourselves. We all have guns. We're just asking you
to take a couple. And you don't even have to
come to this event on Saturday at Next Level, but

(14:14):
we'll pay for your range time if you do come
at Next Level Saturday. Wow, you can shoot from ten
to four at Next Level on Blank and Baker for free.
We'll give you an envelope. It's just a little Manila envelope.
It's nothing special. You write your serial number on it.
Take the casing someone with you, even if you tried
to give him to us, We're not taking them. We're
not taking everybody's showcasing to our property. And we don't care.
We want you to just be a good steward, responsible

(14:36):
firearm owner, and in the unlikely event or unfortunate event
that you're going to get stolen, hopefully you can give
us a little bit of evidence so we can start
tying this together.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
That's all.

Speaker 4 (14:44):
It helps you catch a killer that's one hundred percent accurate.
One hundred percent accurate because when the firing pin hits
the back of a primary creates his fingerprints.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
And if you already have that, so you look at
it under like a microscope or something head, it's got
a little bit of an imprint, right.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
I always thought it was striations on the bullet for ballistics,
but so.

Speaker 4 (15:04):
Too, so like know how a bullet hits something matters too.
But the showcasing is important, and we collect those everywhere
on drive bys, on homicides, on non fatal shootings, even
on shootings when nobody is shot, but we have a showcasing.
We collect that bad boy, and we put that showcasing
into NIVEN and then we can start tying in what
gun is used across the city in different events. And

(15:25):
so we're asking the public to help us out here.
It's not a database, it's not a registry. Keep it yourself.
That's the biggest talking point here. Eventually we're going to
get a hit and it's going to be a success.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
So what's next. Do we have a little bit of
a lull of big event time in Louisville?

Speaker 4 (15:40):
And I feel like there's never a lull around here.
There's always something. All the media is wanting to tour
headquarters and we want that to happen too, but just
not right now. This week we're moving in all kinds
of units, so there's work trucks there, people are getting
their offices settled, and really there's nothing sexy about it
right now, it's just office space. In the next couple
of weeks, as we start getting some more stuff, more

(16:01):
people there, more stuff there, we'll have everybody over. You
guys can come over.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
So checks about three or four days before Bourbond and
Beyond and a loud in a life weekend, does the
wife start whistling and start getting in a better mood
and all she's not gonna see you.

Speaker 3 (16:16):
For eight days out of the two leagues.

Speaker 4 (16:18):
Yeah, she can't wait to that paycheck. Kids, And I
got all overtime on there. She's already spent half of it.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
And Matt Sanders lmp oh yeah, real quick. John Aubrey
passed away. Oh yeah, I'm very sorry to hear that.
The chief is going to send something out to everybody today.
We'll definitely, we definitely owe it the community to say something.
Is a long time friend, that's a great family. Uh man,
you want to talk about a public servant, I mean
that man served this community his entire life and his nation.

(16:45):
I believe he was in the service.

Speaker 4 (16:46):
He was in the service. And you want to talk
about a loss. It is absolutely a devastating news to hear.
And you know, from everybody at LMPD, our hearts and
prayers go out to the Aubrey family. You know, I
know his son, I knew him. Our agencies are intertwined.
We work closely with the Sheriff's office and he and
he's a great man. He's going to be missed.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Thank you, Matt Sanders, LMPD shortbreak. We will come back.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
Baron knows pizza is Louisville.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
Stop pizza and the pizza The constantly gets back to
the city of Louisville surrounding areas. Why would you go
anywhere else? Listen, have you tried anything dan O's way yet?
Dano's Way I like everything the Danil's Way. It's red
pepper cheese y.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
Oh man, it's delicious.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
I love the Baronos baked spaghetti, pizza, sandwiches, no matter what,
asked for it on Daniel's Way. Plus that menu is
constantly expanding. How about apple smoked wings? They're delicious. When's
the last time you've been to your neighborhood Baronos dine
in carry out or delivery? Yeah, it's that good.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
You know. Deliver to Trade Oaks Towers is Barons, all right?
Trade Oak Towers, folks. This is a retirement community. It
is a nonprofit. That means the price is right and
the facility is fantastic. The average employee there is fourteen years.
That means it's a great place to be and work.
Matter of fact, they do it all. They have four ballrooms,
four restaurants, two bars, one on the rooftop. It's a

(18:10):
nine I think it's eleven stories tall. You can see
all of Louisville. It's a block from Saint James Cort.
This place is an amazing place to be. Laundry is
included and it's one rate. It's not piecemeal. At Tradon
Oak Towers, they had three people move in last month alone,
five eight nine thirty two eleven. Call that number five
eight nine thirty two eleven and get a tour. If

(18:32):
you take a tour, you'll move in to trade oak towers.
Back after this on news radio eight forty wa chance, Yes,
whoa wow. The reason I did that is because you
had me bouncing. You did a great job. Because we
went down to sixty two sixty three up to sixties.

(18:54):
I thought maybe the animals were light a lot later,
but then I said, I'm gonna go with my first
gut feeling. You got to trust.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
You got my musical coach. The coaches me through. This
is legendary drummer Dave Williams. And he told me one time,
he said, in the sixties, where you have trouble, look
for the Beatles.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
Yeah, didn't hear one Beatles.

Speaker 4 (19:14):
I steer away from the Beatles of the sixties.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
Okay, you us if you pay no, if you play no,
it's in the stone. That's a good way to do it.
So just so keep doing that, all right? All right?

Speaker 2 (19:27):
Talk about door dash earlier. That's something that I don't do.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
But I love this. Do you really love it? The
only time that I used.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
That is someone gifted when Russell died, somebody gifted us
a h A DoorDash coupon and so we got some.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
Well, if you use it enough, they don't charge you.
They don't charge you the DoorDash fee.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
We still got to pay the driver though, right, No.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
I mean you gotta pay. No, you pay the tip.
You pay the tip, that's what you pay the But
a lot of times they're like, you don't pay the doordas.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
We're using it for everything.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
Now have you see these uber commercials You've seen him
now with you just need some age axe from the
up and dong ers.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
Well, you can get anything, Yeah, you can get anything
door dash. But I will tell you if you're hungry
or you're tired, and you're you're doing whatever, the more
you tip, if you you if you tip between seven
dollars and ten dollars, you will get your food super
fast because the really good drivers will race to go
get your food.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
Seven or ten. I'll go you one better, Yeah, I
tip seventeen.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
Oh thank you.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
I'd give them both, dude, all right. Not all things, though,
should be.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
Ordered through uh door dashers. If you ask me. In
Sweetwater Texas. This comes straight out of the police department,
Sweetwater Police Department.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
A door dasher accidentally under undercovered a hostage situation that
was in progress. The underidentified driver called the police after
he made uncovered uncovered.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
Yeah or undercovered like you said go ahead. This says
I thought you were going to take the door dash
guy was an undercovered.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
Uncovered You're right, it says undered and I didn't correct that.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
He said it in the material.

Speaker 3 (21:03):
Yeah, so I'm Rod Burgundy.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Yeah, totally.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
Can you give me the vision first again?

Speaker 1 (21:08):
By the way, vision firsticare dot com. You gotta go
with me, man, get some glasses because it really is
hurting your career now.

Speaker 3 (21:15):
It really is. Which is tied to you?

Speaker 2 (21:18):
No, like an anchor, well, door dasher uncovered a hostage
situation that was in progress. The unidentified delivery driver called
police after making a delivery to a motel room. No
cooper witnessed the alleged delivery. Uh, here's the delivery. This
is what they ordered out of the hotel room and

(21:39):
what maybe sparked a red flag trash bags, zip ties,
bleach and a hatchet.

Speaker 4 (21:52):
Surely you could have just ordered some of that gotten
the rest on your own.

Speaker 3 (21:55):
Oh you didn't get five different delivery.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
Drivers plus other items that would seem nefarious to the driver?
Faious Uh Cooper allegedly refused to exit, and then or
the person in the hotel room refused to exit when
police were called, and it became a hostage situation. Eventually
the hostage was able to escape the arrested uh the offender,

(22:21):
but then the hostage was also arrested for outstanding warrants.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
Gosh, how did they catch you? Uh?

Speaker 2 (22:28):
Hey, how did they catch the Jim Shortz serial killer? Well,
evidently his bleach, zip ties, trash bags, and hatchets were
all ordered from DoorDash.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
I wouldn't mind some sort of special training for DoorDash
people to notice to notice things that aren't right.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
I wonder if they like to get rid of the body.
If his plan was like to call one eight hundred
junk removal and just here's a bunch of trash bags.
It sounds like a lazy sounds like a lazy killer.
If you ask me, John, You're never that lazy when
you see a no.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
I mean, but I dress like I am so I
guess this would fit the bill of a Jim Schwartz killer.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
