Cops Rock! Deputy Mayor David James. Click It or Skip It? Hoisting Blake.

It is Thursday, little after ten o'clock, and it's time for cops. Rock. Dave Jennings, you got the floor.

The only thing easier than finding tools on this planet is finding cops that rock. Let us go to Florida. Earlier this week, Vlucia County Sheriff's Deputy West bro Brough think he's a bra or.

A Bray is bra?

Yeah?

Bro heroically rescued a missing five year old autistic boy from a pond in Deltona, Florida.

I mean.

The child escaped through a second story door Tuesday evening, triggering an alarm. His father alerted deputies, and the family immediately started searching for him. When he arrived on the scene, Deputy bro learned that the child is attracted to water, so he and other deputies headed tour to nearby pond. As they approached, Bra her the child crying, so he ran through the woods, took off his bulletproof vest, and

To wow, be able to rescue gives me chills.

Did he say I got you?

Bruh, No, he did not.

Didn't know. It's up Brooke.

If those situations anytime when my kids were little, and I would read stories or see stories in the news that involve kids that same age, and just he grabs you. Plus, if there's a body of water, what's in it? In Florida, alligator? Alligator? The damn Kid's luck he wasn't chomped on before the cop got there, and congratulations to him. Cops rock got another one Taylor.

Michigan police officer Jasper Mercurra recently went above and beyond to help a young boy who has Down syndrome and relies on his iPad for communication. After seven year old Klaias Warren lost his device during a trip to the mall, his mother, Christy Warren, was in a difficult spot. Unable to afford a replacement, she turned to the community through social media for help. Officer Mercurra saw Christie's heartfelt post and felt compelled to act. He reached out to his

Yeah, that story doesn't make it on the news. No, this now makes it here on our show.

But both respected journalists in the universe.

And one more.

Sunday night, seven year old Shelby Wolf went missing from the Lake Merwin Campers hideaway in Clark County, Washington, where she'd been staying with her grandparents. Despite extensive searches by deputies and residents, she was not found that night. The next morning, access to the campsite was closed off. The Sheriff's Marine Patrol and Major Crimes Unit joined in. About eight forty five Monday morning, a local fisherman heard a child crying for help from a steep section of the

Yeah, Washington, that state of Washington, I assume, and that everything in the woods can kill you, the cold can kill you.

Such why and alien.

Abductions always up there in the Northeast. So you go to watch that completely okay, and he finally made it.

Yeah, you know what, being the three most respected journalists in the universe, it's a double edged sword. Yeah, you know, we sit on our throne. But also it's intimidating to come in here and we want to walk up our guests. David James, he's served the community as law enforcement, he served the community as a counselman, and now he is with the Mayor's office, Deputy Mayor. David James, How you.

Doing mane, Good morning, morning.

Looking good. First of all, how's the health, because you went through a fight. How you doing that?

I'm doing good now and I have some great doctors and surgeries are a great thing.

Well, you look terrific. You look terrific enough to join the Ironman Contest, which they're already setting up for.

They are, but do you not see me participating?

Oh I'm gonna say what breaking up.

Listen, David James and I are not in the Ironman Contest. However, we're both carving up for it, that's right, right, I'm getting ready for you're getting ready for it. So talk about the iron man, because this is a hell of a thing. Man, This is the big one, right.

This is seventy point three miles of endurance, which I don't have.

I don't either.

Man.

Where's the swim? Do we know? We're getting in at the waterfront?

What we're debating that issue right now. Ah, and so it'll be somewhere in the Ohio River where we test daily to make sure we're in a good spot.

And so we're working through that right now.

May I recommend instead a swim spat from sollar comfort.

Okay, but usually get in with a great lawn and then swim to the boat ramp with u of l That's usually where they want to do it. And John Bowle has described it many times of it is it is elbow. There's people kicking you in the face. That's right, elbows. This is a very very physical part. It's not just the two miles or whatever it is. It is a fight water.

It is to win and win and win, and they don't care what they got to do to win.

They're just going for it.

Oh Man, I bet the firefighters, the police love this event. Someone drowning. We don't know one gigantic. What's going on there?

Right? David James is our guest deputy mayor. What is more taxing? I guess we haven't had you in since you the new gig? What's more taxing? With the longer hours this or council president question? Because by the way, all of your careers they're time suckers. They're like they are any Metro Council president and now this what what's more time consuming? I gotta think it's this gig.

I would say this one's more time to tell me.

It's like a twenty four to seven kind of kind of rhythm to it is.

What about the wife, Michelle, how she gets.

She's learning that it's a twenty four seven. It's interesting she actually can hear the phone ringing better than I can.

Okay, but it's interesting because you were the lpredente of the Metro Council. Now you're on the other side. You're with the mayors. Now normally they work together pretty well, but we have been through some couple of decade, about a decade or two where that didn't happen, where it wasn't work. You describe the difference of doing that in communicating with what you are now, right, uh, and then now switching and talking to what you used to do.

So I would say that the Council's relationship with the Mayor's office under Mayor Craig Greenberg is much improved. The mayor calls the council members on a regular basis. It's not unusual at all to see council members in the Mayor's office and the Mayor's suite talking to different deputy mayors or anybody, which is something that didn't happen very often prior. And so I'm I'm very happy with the way the relationship is now.

I want to kind of echo on that because it really has been night and day between the last administration and Mark Greenberg. And that's not just counsel reaching across uh. Even with my wife's in the House of Representatives. You Mark Greenberg, they have met.

You all have met right.

And worked on projects together with our General Assembly. And that's commendable in my eyes, man, because you know, one of our favorite mayors is Mary Bonnie Young and she said potholes are not partisan's right, But that's with the seriously crime is things like that.

So we know they knew that you all are working with them because we haven't had any of the Metro Council people on you know, Argentini has there and they were like, I was like, we haven't anybody on there, like because we're getting along with them right now. We're getting things done, which is what we want to do is get things done. So let's talk about it. What are we getting done? A lot of sporting events coming

It has.

It has so we've had a couple different locations in the Highlands that have had some problems bar locations that have ABC licenses and so LMPD and Metro ABC Alcohol Beverage Control have investigated those and have been successful in closing some of those down are having the owners surrender their licenses and so we just recently had a shooting in the Highlands. I think it was last weekend and

The details up it right now or yeah, okay, but to resolve that issue.

Quickly, I would we be able to do that, and I know that there's a lot of different ways you can do that, but we're moving pretty quickly here. That's a nice part of town, it is, and I think they're fed up with it, and it's in the It's not just the shootings, that's one thing you can highlight, but the fights and the smoky burnouts with their motorcycles and the cars and all that. It's too much, too much that.

I can't believe how quickly it changed, though, because it was just a handful of years ago. Yeah, I want to say, eighteen nineteen, twenty eighteen nineteen, it was all grateful, dead hippie type, you know, peace love and almost like a hate Ashbury and Samase and now it's it just seems violent and not even reminiscent of what it used to be.

Yeah, it's it's a lot different. I drove through there weekend before last looking at some things, yeah, and I was like, this is not the.

Four week Yeah right, all right, let's talk about us on public safety for a while, because we're about three hundred officers down, and in my eyes, outside looking in, you're the one on the inside at two two hundred and ninety two. Okay, well yeah, ok good, that's number. But outside looking in it looks like it puts our officers, our men and women of LMPD on defense and they can never go on offense, hardly, rarely. How tough is it on recruitment for LMPD and what can we do

And so one of the things that we heard was that they're not getting paid enough and it's hard to compete. And so May Greenberg this year decided that, you know, we're gonna put all the public safety agencies on a much better footing and we're going to handle all of their contracts with the FLP and Teamsters and all to give them enormous pay raises. So the Fire Department, the Police Department MS all had enormous pay raises this year to be able to try to compete with other agencies

Hopefully we got our fingers crossed. Yeah, very soon.

Okay. What we always say on this show, people don't leave jobs because the models. They leave jobs because of management. In light of the FBI investigation and all the department of the Federal Department center here, I think most cops want to be a cop in the area where and for a lesser statement here, they don't want to get jammed up for doing their job. Absolutely, So I think that's where there. And now you've got six chiefs deep in how many years four I mean, lack of consistent

Yeah, I think the boat's point in the right direction. I know Mayor Greenberg himself, you know, he constantly goes to roll calls at the police divisions, and he supports the officers and wants them to do a great job, and if they're doing things they shouldn't do, he'll hold them accountable. But he also recognizes that police work is is.

Dynamic. Things happen.

Even if the best training, the best planned event happens. People happen, right, And so you know, we have Paul Humphrey as an interim chief. He's doing a great job. And I was listening to your hero Rock it reminded me of something. So the mayor and the governor had a press conference down in West Louisville when the tornado struck right and they're standing there.

I'm standing there.

All of a sudden, I see Paul Humphrey take off running and I'm like, what's going on? And it turns out he could see from where he was standing up there by the microphone that had a dog had fallen into a swimming pool and gotten wrapped up in the.

Oh my gosh, and was drowning.

He ran, jumped the fence, got in there, got the dog out of the pool.

That's a police chief for you.

Ye, Dave, where's the cops rock? Yeah?

Where's that one?

Tell me about this stuff?

But yo, what Chief Paul Hoffer goes. I did it for the dog, not for the glory. I don't want I don't want Dave James to honor me in any way, shape or for him. His name is David James. He's served the city many ways, l MPD, Metro Council, Metro Council president. Now he's on the other side of the ball with the mayor and I'm hearing good things. David James. Has been a while since you've been on Don't Be a Stranger Man.

Absolutely, he's good to see you guys again.

Yeah, absolutely, quit working so well with Metro Council. We have an interviewed. Yeah, what's going on?

It is some drim driver.

Who do we have And anytime we get local ops rock stories, please let us know.

Those?

Okay? Oh, I don't see gender, so I don't.

I don't either, don't.

What's next?

Headline? Blake Lively allegedly felt Justin Baldoni, fat Shamber and more.

Okay, let's click on that. That, of course, is Ryan Reynolds's wife. Blake Lively.

Of course you might know him from the new dead Pool series where he plays Deadpool and his wife is named blakely Lively.

Who is that? Uh? That Baldoni person?

Out of all the Marvel Universe characters, he is probably the most fascinating to me. They call him did putin? Are you what? Wow? Okay?

Not gay? Just like him as an actor?

Sure?

Sure.

The rumored drama about what went down while making it ends with us keeps getting bigger. The movie stars Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni, and more, with Baldoni also sitting in the director's chair. Baldonia recently recently hired a PR firm after rumors started to spread that he and the cast hadn't gotten along following the film's premiere and now for detail. At one point, Lively allegedly felt that Baldoni was fat shaming her.

Whoa.

There was a scene where he had to lift her up, and he asked his trainer how much she weighed and how he could protect his back. The thing is, Baldoni does have a history of back problems. Lively heard about this comment and felt fat shame Blake. She also felt like he spent too long kissing her in one scene.

Oh gosh, come.

On at all? So okay, look, jeez, are we are we not the top journalist in the universe?

That is a given?

Did I have to google Blake Lively naked? No picture? If she is in fact heavy?

Stop it? No, she's she's very beautiful.

Look at this picture.

I don't.

I just don't. I don't get it.

I don't get it, and then get it.

I don't get out.

So she's upset because he won't. He doesn't want to herts back how much she way?

Dude?

Right, how about how about don't put that in the scene? Do you have to lift her up.

Yeah, you have to lift her up? Say no, take it out?

Even better, say hey, can I get a stuntman to lift her?

I think her lifted up is part of the integrity of the scene.

Long GISs too long? How long is long enough? Doesn't the actor? Doesn't the director go cut right?

You coulding because he was kissing her? What?

Oh, he's the director and the actor.

Why did we talk to the south and the third person? He says, Okay, Dwight on this scene? Here's what?

Yeah, what's the movie again?

The movie is?

It ends with us? Headline? Simone Biles biological mom wants to reconcile.

Of course she does.

I'll give you fifteen million reasons why exactly? Click clicking on this one. Someone bios biological mother wants to reconcile. In a recent interview with The Daily Mail, Shannon Bios air that she wants to make things right after being out of her life for decades. Simone was placed into foster care when she was a toddler. Her mother reportedly

I'm very proud of her.

There's a big movement going on across the nation to try and recruit young women into gymnastics. It's called the Bible movement.

Alrighty, Yeah, I bet she's trying to get back in her life for sure. Yeah, I wonder why she. Just in Simone had just talked about how her adoptive parents did everything for her and we was fantastic. But I get it if they can reconcile, I assume so. I mean, now her daughter is rich, but I don't want to put that on her, right you. You don't want to put that honor. It's unfair. So maybe she wants to reconcile. That's fine. But at some point point, to Simone Bile, there's a little overkill.

Yeah.

Thanks, it's been about eight years of overkill. And she is the greatest gymnast of all time. It's hard to argue with that, but she is perfectly built for it. She's like two foot seven, so she can do an extra rotation around because she's so small and all muscle. And by the way, hey, Dwight, in the last conversation, the guy that we're talking about to kiss too long and all that. You remember eighteen eighty three, Yeah, the studeley hunting guy. Yeah, that's him.

Oh, a studley hunter.

He was a studley hunting. Every tome that we crossed the river, we were rewarded with a freedo.
