LBMW - Kentucky Radio - 93200

***********

Speaker 1: This is Jackie Jaye reporting for LBMW...

Speaker 1: ... here at the military blockade to the north of the Exclusion Zone.

Speaker 1: It's a scene of drama, anger and confusion here.

Speaker 1: We've got folks turning up trying to get through.

Speaker 1: And standing in their way are guys in camo.

Speaker 1: US Army recruits who four days ago were waiting to ship out overseas from local military bases..

Speaker 1: ... but who are now checkpoint guards around their former home.

Speaker 1: And still no word on the condition of those inside the Zone!

Speaker 1: We know there's something like an influenza virus in there...

Speaker 1: ... but it's localized.

Speaker 1: There's just a handful of reports of strange behaviors.

Speaker 1: Panic, confusion...

Speaker 1: I've been told that military scientists ARE present within the zone.

Speaker 1: We should hear concrete details tomorrow.

Speaker 1: If anything else comes out of the Exclusion Zone...

Speaker 1: ... you'll be the first to know.

Speaker 1: Keep safe Kentucky.

Speaker 1: This is Jackie Jaye.

Speaker 1: I'm here at the checkpoints to the north of the Knox exclusion zone.

Speaker 1: I'm here with Denise, who has a story to tell.

Speaker 1: Denise, you were one of the last out of the Zone. Am I right?

Speaker 2: I was. My Mom's still in there.

Speaker 1: Have you heard from her?

Speaker 2: Nothin'. Phones are out.

Speaker 2: These guys... all standing in-between us.

Speaker 1: The Army, yes. And how did you get out?

Speaker 2: Well we heard the helicopters all night through.

Speaker 2: Mom was ill. High temperature, real sleepy.

Speaker 2: Nothing serious I thought.

Speaker 2: I was going to work at Gas to Go early, like every morning.

Speaker 2: I saw these guys in plastic suits.

Speaker 2: Y'know... bright yellow?

Speaker 1: Hazard suits Denise?

Speaker 2: I guess. Anyway I saw them down the road.

Speaker 2: Thought it was weird, but everything's weird at 4AM right?

Speaker 2: Then I drive through, get taken aside...

Speaker 2: They shine a light into my eyes. Take a blood sample...

Speaker 2: Keep me locked tight until like... ten minutes ago?

Speaker 2: Then they say I'm clear and kick me out.

Speaker 2: Then I meet you.

Speaker 2: What's going on Jackie?

Speaker 1: We don't know just yet Denise.

Speaker 1: From what I've been told your Mom will be fine.

Speaker 2: You know that?

Speaker 1: I don't know that, I've been told that.

Speaker 1: Keep close Denise, you'll know what I know.

Speaker 1: Just like the guys listening will.

Speaker 1: Keep safe Kentucky.

Speaker 1: This is Frank Hemingway, taking over coverage of the Knox Event from Jackie.

Speaker 1: It's the end of the second day of the Knox exclusion.

Speaker 1: Still no word on the contagion.

Speaker 1: So what do we know?

Speaker 1: Influenza symptoms brought the towns of West Point and Muldraugh to a standstill.

Speaker 1: Then overnight... the blockades appeared.

Speaker 1: Military sources suggest the area is watertight...

Speaker 1: ... there's even boats patrolling the Ohio river.

Speaker 1: If the checkpoints aren't gone tomorrow, however... the boundary will be tested.

Speaker 1: We've got concerned locals, evacuated families and, yup...

Speaker 1: ... more news teams turning up every hour.

Speaker 1: Everyone wants to get in just as, we assume, the residents want to get out.

Speaker 1: We're promised answers tomorrow from one... General John McGrew.

Speaker 1: We can't wait to hear them General.

Speaker 1: Better make them good...

Speaker 1: Frank Hemingway. LBMW.

Speaker 1: Good morning.

Speaker 1: You're listening to LBMW.

Speaker 1: It's day three of the Knox evacuation

Speaker 1: Still NO official statement on the contagion that has gripped Kentucky.

Speaker 1: The Exclusion Zone remains in place.

Speaker 1: Military personnel from local bases have a HUGE area closed off.

Speaker 1: Their primary deployment: south of Louisville.

Speaker 1: The Exclusion Zone stretches out below the curve of the Ohio river...

Speaker 1: ...and contains the small towns of Muldraugh and West Point.

Speaker 1: We have been told: there will be answers.

Speaker 1: LBMW understands a press conference will be held this afternoon...

Speaker 1: ... on the brewing chaos of the last four days.

Speaker 1: Will the communications black-out be explained?

Speaker 1: Until then, the only advice for those nearby remains: stay indoors.

Speaker 1: This is Frank Hemingway for LBMW.

Speaker 1: You're listening to LBMW.

Speaker 1: We're reporting direct from where General John McGrew made the following statement:

Speaker 2: I am making this statement at 11AM on the 14th July 1993.

Speaker 2: There are many rumors circulating. Many falsehoods.

Speaker 2: This is an appeal for calm.

Speaker 2: I can confirm there has been an outbreak.

Speaker 2: The ailment is, as yet, unidentified.

Speaker 2: It is flu-like. It leads to panic. It leads to confusion.

Speaker 2: There is NO evidence of fatalities within the Exclusion Zone.

Speaker 2: We are using judged and judicious force to maintain the border.

Speaker 2: Warning shots have been fired.

Speaker 2: No civilians have been harmed.

Speaker 2: We must ensure that this infection is not allowed to spread.

Speaker 2: I am in hourly contact with the President on this matter.

Speaker 2: The no-fly zone will remain in place for the foreseeable future.

Speaker 2: At this time, we will take no questions.

Speaker 1: You're listening to LBMW. I'm Jackie Jaye.

Speaker 1: The exclusion zone to the south of Louisville remains in place today.

Speaker 1: No vehicles, no phone calls, no cameras...

Speaker 1: ... just the rapid deployment of military personnel and vehicles.

Speaker 1: LBMW is in a temporary camp on the exclusion border.

Speaker 1: Panic throughout the nation is endemic.

Speaker 1: What next for Kentucky in this sad story?

Speaker 1: Good evening. This is LBMW.

Speaker 1: I'm Frank Hemingway.

Speaker 1: After repeated demands General John McGrew today explained the Exclusion Zone.

Speaker 1: But are his answers enough for Kentucky?

Speaker 2: I can confirm there has been an outbreak.

Speaker 2: The ailment is, as yet, unidentified.

Speaker 2: It is flu-like. It leads to panic. It leads to confusion.

Speaker 2: There is NO evidence of fatalities within the Exclusion Zone.

Speaker 2: We are using judged and judicious force to maintain the border.

Speaker 2: Warning shots have been fired.

Speaker 2: No civilians have been harmed.

Speaker 1: General McGrew went on to state that the no-fly zone...

Speaker 1: ... would remain in place for the immediate future.

Speaker 1: His comments have done little to allay public fear.

Speaker 1: Why are we in the dark?

Speaker 1: Why can't they talk to us?

Speaker 1: And why won't they let US talk to them?

Speaker 1: Ah, wait we've just got this in.

Speaker 1: It's a statement from the President distributed to all media.

Speaker 3: This is a distressing time.

Speaker 3: The situation in Kentucky is unexpected and saddening.

Speaker 3: My first thoughts are with the friends and families of those within the Zone.

Speaker 3: People have been separated, folk have been evacuated...

Speaker 3: I understand the difficulties facing us.

Speaker 3: However, I have faith in the fine people of the Center for Disease Control...

Speaker 3: ... to get to the root of the panic and confusion within the Exclusion Zone.

Speaker 3: I have faith in our Servicemen and Women to fulfill their duties...

Speaker 3: ... and for General John McGrew to command them with the foresight and dedication...

Speaker 3: ... he has shown throughout his exemplary career.

Speaker 3: It is a distressing time America, but you are in safe hands.

Speaker 3: Thank you.

Speaker 1: This is Frank Hemingway for LBMW.

Speaker 1: Saying it like I see it.

Speaker 1: Keep safe Kentucky.

Speaker 1: This is Frank Hemingway, LBMW.

Speaker 1: I'm in the media camp on the Knox Exclusion Zone boundary.

Speaker 1: Last night, the President gave full support to agencies fighting the Knox Event.

Speaker 2: This is a distressing time.

Speaker 2: The situation in Kentucky is unexpected and saddening.

Speaker 2: My first thoughts are with the friends and families of those within the Zone.

Speaker 2: People have been separated, folk have been evacuated...

Speaker 2: I understand the difficulties facing us.

Speaker 2: However, I have faith in the fine people of the Center for Disease Control...

Speaker 2: ... to get to the root of the panic and confusion within the Exclusion Zone.

Speaker 2: I have faith in our Servicemen and Women to fulfill their duties...

Speaker 2: ... and for General John McGrew to command them with the foresight and dedication...

Speaker 2: ... he has shown throughout his exemplary career.

Speaker 2: It is a distressing time America, but you are in safe hands.

Speaker 2: Thank you.

Speaker 1: Now back to the Exclusion Zone Boundary, where I am this morning.

Speaker 1: In my hand? An exclusive statement from General John McGrew.

Speaker 1: Here he apologises for...

Speaker 1: a 'lack of clarity'...

Speaker 1: ... in what many are calling 'The Knox Event'.

Speaker 1: In the EXCLUSIVE statement to LBMW he again confirmed...

Speaker 1: ... that the outbreak is contained...

Speaker 1: ...and that he is unaware of fatalities within the exclusion zone.

Speaker 1: When I asked whether the miliary sensitivity of the region...

Speaker 1: ... had an impact on the way the Event is being handled...

Speaker 1: ... I was met only with silence.

Speaker 1: This is Frank Hemingway for LBMW.

Speaker 1: Saying it, like I see it.

Speaker 1: Keep safe Kentucky.

Speaker 1: Hi. Jackie Jaye for LBMW.

Speaker 1: What caused the Event? Rumor is rife.

Speaker 1: A strange cloud hangs over Kentucky.

Speaker 1: I'm in one of the camps that has grown on the Event border.

Speaker 1: Displaced families, people with families inside the Event...

Speaker 1: They're all here. And, guess what? They're angry.

Speaker 2: They say we shouldn't be worried...

Speaker 2: ... but they won't even say what in HELL this is?

Speaker 2: He says there are no casualties?

Speaker 2: There's a lot of bad stuff leading up to a casualty, right?

Speaker 2: What happened to my wife, General?

Speaker 2: Why can't we speak?

Speaker 1: Do you know what caused this sir?

Speaker 2: Hell if I know.

Speaker 2: Some are saying it was the smell.

Speaker 2: Awful bad smell here, for weeks.

Speaker 1: And what do you think has happened to your Mommy, sweetheart?

Speaker 3: I don't know.

Speaker 2: Neither do I honey.

Speaker 2: It'll be okay.

Speaker 1: This is Jackie Jaye. Keep safe guys.

Speaker 1: This is Jackie Jaye, here today with Professor John Ramirez - a military scientist

Speaker 1: Professor Ramirez, we've been told that you can provide some answers.

Speaker 1: How are they doing in there?

Speaker 2: Not good Jackie.

Speaker 2: They're all on two feet, but they're in a bad way.

Speaker 1: What are the symptoms? Is this life-threatening?

Speaker 2: We've taken samples.

Speaker 2: There's a team looking into that right now.

Speaker 2: There's no reason to spread fear or alarm.

Speaker 2: We have top men looking into what this is...

Speaker 2: ...and just where it came from.

Speaker 1: And the symptoms?

Speaker 2: Like we said: flu-like at first, then - panic and confusion.

Speaker 2: We think the spread has slowed now.

Speaker 2: But we don't deal in absolutes.

Speaker 2: This remains a volatile situation, with a contagious illness at its heart.

Speaker 2: The lockdown is required by international law...

Speaker 2: ... and common sense...

Speaker 2: ... until we know for sure we are safe.

Speaker 2: I'm sure y'all can understand why.

Speaker 1: And the reports of violence?

Speaker 2: At this point in time we have no reason to believe folks won't recover.

Speaker 1: Thank you for your time.

Speaker 1: I'm Jackie Jaye. Keep safe Kentucky.

Speaker 1: Good evening. I'm Frank Hemingway.

Speaker 1: This is LBMW.

Speaker 1: Public anger reaches boiling point...

Speaker 1: ... and Knox Telecommunications accept responsibility for ongoing communication outages...

Speaker 1: ... that were in place days BEFORE the Knox Event began.

Speaker 1: Meanwhile, fresh details of the Knox Infection emerge.

Speaker 1: Flu-like - then panic and confusion.

Speaker 1: A contagion that spread throughout entire communities.

Speaker 1: A contagion that, scientists claim, might soon have run its course.

Speaker 1: So, if it's all over: why the black-out?

Speaker 1: What aren't we being told?

Speaker 1: Today a public demonstration in Washington DC exploded into angry scenes.

Speaker 1: All we need, the people say, are answers.

Speaker 1: LBMW ask the questions..

Speaker 1: But sometimes the silence is even more damning...

Speaker 1: ...than the answers that aren't there.

Speaker 1: Frank Hemingway. LBMW.

Speaker 1: This is Frank Hemingway, signing off for the night.

Speaker 1: Growing unrest has been reported throughout the nation.

Speaker 1: Placards in Washington. Firebombs in Detroit.

Speaker 1: A Greene's Grocery Store in downtown LA: set ablaze.

Speaker 1: Isolated incidents with one voice:

Speaker 1: We don't feel safe.'

Speaker 1: and 'What aren't we being told?'

Speaker 1: Meanwhile, camps on the edge of the Event boundary continue to grow.

Speaker 1: Onlookers, well-wishers, worried families...

Speaker 1: ... staring through the wire and arguing with military personnel.

Speaker 1: As anger continues to grow.

Speaker 1: Frank Hemingway. LBMW.

Speaker 1: We're five days into the Event exclusion. This is LBMW.

Speaker 1: This is Jackie Jaye on the Event boundary, with your breaking news.

Speaker 1: Last night anger at the handling of the Knox Event boiled over.

Speaker 1: As public outcry and disorder spills onto the streets of our cities.

Speaker 1: The President has released a statement asking for calm.

Speaker 2: I understand the frustration. I can hear you: loud and clear.

Speaker 2: I understand the frustration because I'm like you.

Speaker 2: I want to know when my fellow Americans...

Speaker 2: ...fellow Americans who are laid low with sickness...

Speaker 2: ... can be returned to their families.

Speaker 2: To this end I will be talking to the General today.

Speaker 2: From which I will be able to provide more answers.

Speaker 2: However.

Speaker 2: The horrifying activities we have seen on our streets over the last 24 hours?

Speaker 2: There is no excuse. No excuse whatsoever.

Speaker 2: Arrests will be made. Every authority is on high alert.

Speaker 2: If you are seeking to disrupt our way of life through fear and scaremongering...

Speaker 2: ...you will be sorely disappointed.

Speaker 2: I will come back to you with more information...

Speaker 2: ...FULL information...

Speaker 2: When I have it in my hand.

Speaker 1: Meanwhile, closer to home.

Speaker 1: General John McGrew has issued a warning to folks camped out on the Event line.

Speaker 1: His message: if worried relatives and displaced families do not move on...

Speaker 1: ... they will be dispersed.

Speaker 1: Meanwhile, gunshots from inside the Zone have been heard.

Speaker 1: The military refused to comment.

Speaker 1: This is Jackie Jaye. Keep safe Kentucky.

Speaker 1: You're listening to LBMW. I'm Jackie Jaye.

Speaker 1: Breaking news.

Speaker 1: Commercial flights out of the US have been grounded by the World Health Organisation.

Speaker 1: Any flight scheduled to take off after six tonight is cancelled.

Speaker 1: In a statement the World Health Organisation highlights...

Speaker 1: ... an 'ongoing concern over the still unidentified Kentucky outbreak'...

Speaker 1: ... as it seeks to prevent the malady spreading internationally.

Speaker 1: The President has reacted with anger.

Speaker 2: This move is as unwelcome...

Speaker 2: ...as it is economically unsound.

Speaker 2: I will seek to redress this move at every opportunity.

Speaker 2: After talks with the General I am satisfied that...

Speaker 2: The Knox Event is, to all intents of purpose, contained.

Speaker 2: However.

Speaker 2: Tests on those recovering from the Knox sickness are inconclusive.

Speaker 2: We have labs set up inside the Zone now.

Speaker 2: I assure the American people that every dollar I have at my disposal...

Speaker 2: ...will go toward their healing and rehabilitation.

Speaker 2: However, I repeat: the Knox Event IS contained.

Speaker 2: Procedures are underway to ensure our safety.

Speaker 2: That will be all.

Speaker 1: From six tonight EST the ONLY craft with permission to take off...

Speaker 1: ...will carry medicines or military personnel.

Speaker 1: Meanwhile in unsavory scenes...

Speaker 1: ...panic-buying has turned to looting in many states.

Speaker 1: America sits on a knife-edge.

Speaker 1: Jackie Jaye.

Speaker 1: This is Frank Hemingway...

Speaker 2: ... and I'm Jackie Jaye.

Speaker 1: Scenes of turmoil tonight as military forces roll into towns and cities.

Speaker 1: Peacekeeping forces have been stationed throughout the nation.

Speaker 1: Throughout it all: that same message:

Speaker 1: Stay indoors where possible. Do not panic.

Speaker 2: This all in response to the unprecedented move made by the WHO...

Speaker 2: ...who have cancelled all flights to and from mainland America.

Speaker 2: All eyes are on developments in a sleepy corner of Kentucky...

Speaker 2: ...now a no-go zone ring-fenced by the US Army

Speaker 2: Once we'd report from Muldraugh and West Point about county fairs and sick pets...

Speaker 2: ... now times have changed significantly.

Speaker 1: Pictures released to LBMW, however, show crowded streets...

Speaker 1: ...suggesting that, despite it all, some townsfolk are living as normal.

Speaker 1: Frank Hemingway and Jackie Jaye, LBMW.

Speaker 2: Stay safe everyone.

Speaker 1: Breaking news on LBMW.

Speaker 1: The Knox Exclusion Zone has been widened.

Speaker 1: Early this morning, some camps growing along key access roads were moved back.

Speaker 1: A statement from the office of General John McGrew reads as follows:

Speaker 1: Civilians were moved peacefully and calmly...'

Speaker 1: ...and sometimes in military vehicles for their own safety.'

Speaker 1: Rumors of conflict on the edge of the abandoned perimeter...

Speaker 1: ... however, have not gone away.

Speaker 1: Meanwhile, throughout the nation the disruption continues.

Speaker 1: There were fatalities today when a demo in New York turned violent.

Speaker 1: Fear and panic are growing.

Speaker 1: America looks to its leaders for answers.

Speaker 1: Frank Hemingway, LBMW.

Speaker 1: This is Jackie Jaye with breaking news.

Speaker 1: We're going straight over to a briefing from the White House.

Speaker 2: It is time to face facts. It is time to settle down.

Speaker 2: We only ask for your responsible actions as an American citizen.

Speaker 2: I, personally, take responsibility for the perceived lack of communication.

Speaker 2: And for the rumormongering that has grown around the so-called 'Knox Event'

Speaker 2: At this time we have no reason to believe residents of Kentucky will not recover.

Speaker 2: However, as the picture clears, and more information is made available...

Speaker 2: ... its likelihood is starting to recede.

Speaker 2: We have been hesitant to discuss specifics, yes, but with reason.

Speaker 2: The Knox Event IS contained, but its panic and confusion is not.

Speaker 2: We wanted to establish facts, but public alarm has not provided enough time.

Speaker 2: From 6pm tonight there will be curfews in some of our biggest cities.

Speaker 2: This is for your protection. Please do not leave your house.

Speaker 2: Please have faith in both our military and our emergency services.

Speaker 2: I ask our journalistic community to report responsibly.

Speaker 2: We are examining all potentialities.

Speaker 2: I will update you whenever we have new information.

Speaker 1: This has been Jackie Jaye.

Speaker 1: Keep safe Kentucky.

Speaker 1: This is Jackie Jaye on LBMW.

Speaker 1: We've seen... disturbing evidence from inside the Exclusion Zone.

Speaker 1: But... it's not verified.

Speaker 1: We're working hard to assess what we've witnessed.

Speaker 1: But there's still no official word on the true danger of the biological threat

Speaker 1: ...that we can report on.

Speaker 1: Embedded as we are, with General John McGrew's troops.

Speaker 1: While we work on that, the President this morning addressed the nation.

Speaker 2: It is time to face facts. It is time to settle down.

Speaker 2: We only ask for your responsible actions as an American citizen.

Speaker 2: I, personally, take responsibility for the perceived lack of communication.

Speaker 2: And for the rumor-mongering that has grown around the so-called 'Knox Event'

Speaker 2: At this time we have no reason to believe residents of Kentucky will not recover.

Speaker 2: However, as the picture clears, and more information is made available...

Speaker 2: ... its likelihood is starting to recede.

Speaker 2: We have been hesitant to discuss specifics, yes, but with reason.

Speaker 2: The Knox Event IS contained, but its panic and confusion is not.

Speaker 2: We wanted to establish facts, but public alarm has not provided enough time.

Speaker 2: From 6pm tonight there will be curfews in some of our biggest cities.

Speaker 2: This is for your protection. Please do not leave your house.

Speaker 2: Please have faith in both our military and our emergency services.

Speaker 2: I ask our journalistic community to report responsibly.

Speaker 2: We are examining all potentialities.

Speaker 2: I will update you whenever we have new information.

Speaker 1: Stay tuned everyone...

Speaker 1: ... you need to hear what's coming up next.

Speaker 1: Keep safe.

Speaker 1: This is Jackie Jaye on LBMW.

Speaker 2: And I'm Frank Hemingway.

Speaker 2: This news report will contain information many listeners will find shocking.

Speaker 1: We have verified survivor accounts and shocking images from inside the Exclusion Zone.

Speaker 2: There IS violence...

Speaker 2: ...terrible violence in there.

Speaker 2: In one image, circulated between civilians on the border-line...

Speaker 2: ... a man appears with...

Speaker 2: ... with his arm unattached...

Speaker 2: ... and apparently unconcerned at his severe injury.

Speaker 1: This morning's statement by the President...

Speaker 1: ... suggested that there was a receding chance of recovery.

Speaker 2: But still a chance.

Speaker 1: This new evidence would suggest this is...

Speaker 1: ... an exaggeration.

Speaker 2: We have pressed officials for an official response.

Speaker 2: Jackie Jaye and Frank Hemingway, keeping you informed.

Speaker 1: I'm Jackie Jaye and if you can hear me you're <bzzt>

Speaker 1: <fzzt>

Speaker 1: <bzzt> impacting on all communications <fzzt>

Speaker 1: <bzzt> some flights <bzzt>

Speaker 1: <bzzt>

Speaker 1: This is Frank Hemingway, we've got a witness.

Speaker 1: Someone from the inside, we've got one.

Speaker 1: LBMW staff don't want to pour gas on the flames but... this is important.

Speaker 1: Where've you been Joe?

Speaker 2: The military base.

Speaker 2: Inside Knox.

Speaker 1: Who, who kept you there?

Speaker 2: The Army. McGrew's men.

Speaker 2: They said it was a quarantine. Then one day we woke up

Speaker 2: Doors unlocked. Soldiers... gone.

Speaker 2: But in the main dorm. In the hall...

Speaker 2: Blood.

Speaker 2: Blood and... changed people.

Speaker 1: What don't they want us to know, Joe?

Speaker 2: What you already do know.

Speaker 2: Like in the photos.

Speaker 2: The first sickness.

Speaker 2: It killed.

Speaker 2: But it didn't kill enough.

Speaker 1: What you're saying can't be real.

Speaker 2: They got sick, they went crazy, they died.

Speaker 2: Then they went for my fuckin' throat.

Speaker 2: Sorry for the language.

Speaker 1: That's okay Joe

Speaker 1: Joe, is it contained. Are you safe here with us?

Speaker 2: That much is true.

Speaker 2: The people who changed... they're trapped behind the Event line.

Speaker 2: Whatever they are...

Speaker 1: Is everyone infected?

Speaker 2: I think so. I think they all got it.

Speaker 2: We were lucky.

Speaker 1: This might be LBMW's last broadcast from the Knox Event Journalist camp.

Speaker 1: We can confirm the infection is now spread through fluid exchange.

Speaker 1: Namely... bites from carriers.

Speaker 1: The infected are shadows of human beings - savages.

Speaker 1: They don't think, they just... want to bite.

Speaker 1: And they're. They're dead.

Speaker 1: They move, but they're dead.

Speaker 1: We have been... encouraged to keep this truth from our listeners.

Speaker 1: We disagreed.

Speaker 1: We will endeavor to keep broadcasting on this wavelength.

Speaker 2: She's locked the fucking door!

Speaker 1: I've got some unhappy faces looking through the glass.

Speaker 1: Truth hurts.

Speaker 1: Keep safe Kentucky.

Speaker 1: This is General John McGrew

Speaker 1: I have requested that this broadcast play on all media embedded with my troops.

Speaker 1: And I have received permission.

Speaker 1: First and foremost: we are safe.

Speaker 1: America is safe.

Speaker 1: Today we can confirm that, yes, the nature of the Knox Event is degenerative.

Speaker 1: It causes panic and confusion among sufferers

Speaker 1: Some of whom will then perform acts that are... un-American.

Speaker 1: The initial period of contagion is over.

Speaker 1: There is absolutely NO need for further panic.

Speaker 1: Panic... engendered by irresponsible and unofficial reporting.

Speaker 1: Sufferers are NOT deceased.

Speaker 1: We ARE establishing the likelihood of discovering a cure.

Speaker 1: At this stage the infection is passed only through DIRECT fluid contact.

Speaker 1: This means bites. This means scratches.

Speaker 1: My thoughts are with those poor souls behind the Event line.

Speaker 1: But this is contained.

Speaker 1: It has always been contained.

Speaker 1: We are safe.

Speaker 1: America is safe.

Speaker 1: This is General John McGrew

Speaker 1: I have requested that this broadcast play on all media embedded with my troops.

Speaker 1: And I have received permission.

Speaker 1: First and foremost: we are safe.

Speaker 1: America is safe.

Speaker 1: Today we can confirm that, yes, the nature of the Knox Event is degenerative.

Speaker 1: It causes panic and confusion among sufferers

Speaker 1: At this stage the infection is passed only through DIRECT fluid contact.

Speaker 1: This means bites. This means scratches.

Speaker 1: My thoughts are with those poor souls behind the Event line.

Speaker 1: But this is contained.

Speaker 1: It has always been contained.

Speaker 1: We are safe.

Speaker 1: America is safe.

Speaker 1: This is Jackie Jaye on LBMW.

Speaker 1: There's violence in the border camp.

Speaker 1: We have unverified reports of injured civilians.

Speaker 1: Potentially deceased civilians.

Speaker 1: This morning we woke up to loud gunfire and now armed military personnel are...

Speaker 1: ... pushing back the crowds. Frank. Frank. Can you hear me?

Speaker 2: I can hear you Jackie. I can confirm two people are dead.

Speaker 3: MOVE BACK PEOPLE. YOU ARE SAFE.

Speaker 3: THE INFECTION IS CONTAINED.

Speaker 2: Jackie! We're being moved back! Can you hear me?

Speaker 3: MA'AM! STAND DOWN! MA'AM! MOVE BACK!

Speaker 3: THERE IS NO NEED FOR PANIC!

Speaker 3: THE KNOX EVENT IS CONTAINED

Speaker 3: IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN CONTAINED

Speaker 4: <bzzt>

Speaker 4: <fzzt>

Speaker 1: This is Jackie Jaye.

Speaker 1: This morning violence erupted in the primary Exclusion border camp.

Speaker 1: A morning of violence has raged after the shooting of two unarmed individuals

Speaker 1: Angry protesters were pushed back by troops.

Speaker 1: Warning shots were fired. Tear gas deployed.

Speaker 1: Wait! I can see General John McGrew.

Speaker 1: General! Is there blood on your hands?

Speaker 2: Who is this? Are you broadcasting?

Speaker 2: Do you know what in hell we're dealing with?

Speaker 2: Shut her down!

Speaker 2: Shut this all.... <bzzt> <fzzt>

Speaker 3: <bzzt>

Speaker 3: <bzzt>

Speaker 3: <bzzt>

Speaker 3: <fzzt>

Speaker 1: This is Jackie Jaye.

Speaker 1: I've been... separated from my colleague Frank Hemingway.

Speaker 1: There's gunfire on the other side of the camp. Frank!

Speaker 1: Frank. Can you hear me? We're live. We're live on air.

Speaker 2: Jackie! There's been an incursion!

Speaker 2: There's hundreds of them!

Speaker 2: They're everywhere! They came from every side!

Speaker 1: Frank! What are they? What do they look like?

Speaker 2: Argh! ARGH! FUCK! GET OFF ME!

Speaker 2: GET OFF!

Speaker 1: Jesus Christ.

Speaker 3: <bzzt>

Speaker 3: <bzzt>

Speaker 3: <bzzt>

Speaker 3: <fzzt>

Speaker 1: This is Jackie Jaye.

Speaker 1: It's been the night from hell at the Louisville border camp.

Speaker 1: Violence between the military and civilian groups broke out and...

Speaker 1: ... it attracted them.

Speaker 1: Hundreds of people with the Knox Event infection...

Speaker 1: ...maybe more. Maybe thousands.

Speaker 1: They came in... through the wire.

Speaker 1: Through the barricades.

Speaker 1: They attacked. It was dark.

Speaker 1: Some they killed.

Speaker 1: Some died in the crossfire.

Speaker 1: I don't know what happens next.

Speaker 1: Jackie Jaye, LBMW.

Speaker 1: This is Jackie Jaye.

Speaker 1: If you're listening to this from Louisville. Get out.

Speaker 1: This isn't scaremongering. This is really happening.

Speaker 1: The people here are running. Scattering.

Speaker 1: I've been outside.

Speaker 1: There are bodies everywhere.

Speaker 1: Some of them aren't dead.

Speaker 1: The Knox Event is no longer contained.

Speaker 1: I think it's coming to you.

Speaker 1: The military have pulled out.

Speaker 1: You can't take any risks.

Speaker 1: Get out.

Speaker 1: GET OUT NOW.

Speaker 1: Hey this is Jackie.

Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm sorry but there's more.

Speaker 1: More news to report... here on LBMW.

Speaker 1: Something else came out with the infected.

Speaker 1: People here are getting ill.

Speaker 1: Ill without fluid contact.

Speaker 1: I think they're dying. It happens so quick.

Speaker 1: This is only going to get worse.

Speaker 1: Stay away from other people.

Speaker 1: Keep indoors if you can't get away.

Speaker 1: I don't know what it is but...

Speaker 1: ... it isn't going to stop.

Speaker 1: Jackie Jaye on the LBMW frequency.

Speaker 1: The camp looks like a battleground.

Speaker 1: It's empty here now.

Speaker 1: Folks are running through the dark.

Speaker 1: Those who could anyways.

Speaker 1: Not everyone gets the illness.

Speaker 1: That's what people have said.

Speaker 1: Maybe that's me too.

Speaker 1: I'm going to stay here, with the broadcast equipment.

Speaker 1: The military will be coming back through soon.

Speaker 1: I need to keep you informed.

Speaker 1: That's my job.

Speaker 1: Was my job at least.

Speaker 1: This is Jackie, on the LBMW frequency.

Speaker 1: National news is reporting that it's in Louisville.

Speaker 1: This thing... it spreads like wildfire.

Speaker 1: I don't know what it is.

Speaker 1: Wherever you are: avoid other people.

Speaker 1: The dead are dangerous, but so are the living.

Speaker 1: Go somewhere secluded, barricade and hide.

Speaker 1: Wait till it all blows over.

Speaker 1: Find a way to...

Speaker 1: <cough>

Speaker 1: ... a way to escape.

Speaker 1: This is Jackie, broadcasting on LBMW's frequency.

Speaker 1: I've... caught the illness.

Speaker 1: I have the Knox Event infection.

Speaker 1: I've been hiding in here this whole time.

Speaker 1: No bites. No scratches.

Speaker 1: Those... things haven't got close.

Speaker 1: But something did.

Speaker 1: <cough>

Speaker 1: I've seen it happen.

Speaker 1: I'll be gone in day.

Speaker 1: <cough>

Speaker 1: The lights go out.

Speaker 1: But something stays on.

Speaker 1: Not much, hopefully.

Speaker 1: If I was braver I'd...

Speaker 1: God knows what I'd do.

Speaker 1: I'm just going to wait.

Speaker 1: Jackie out.

Speaker 1: <cough>

Speaker 1: Jackie Jaye. <Cough>. LBMW.

Speaker 1: I'm still here.

Speaker 1: Need you to know something.

Speaker 1: National networks are reporting that it's spread.

Speaker 1: They're saying Somalia in Africa.

Speaker 1: <cough>

Speaker 1: They're saying... Norfolk, England.

Speaker 1: I know it isn't possible.

Speaker 1: But it's true.

Speaker 1: Go listen to them now.

Speaker 1: Go listen to someone else.

Speaker 1: This place is a goddam wasteland.

Speaker 1: <cough>

Speaker 1: Keep safe.

Speaker 1: Keep safe Kentucky.

Speaker 1: Hello? Hello?

Speaker 1: Is it working? Can you hear it in there?

Speaker 1: Okay cool.

Speaker 1: My name is Jonas. Jonas Underwood.

Speaker 1: We've cleared this area and set up camp.

Speaker 1: We've come from Louisville.

Speaker 1: Do NOT go to Louisville.

Speaker 1: The infection just... spread.

Speaker 1: People started getting sick.

Speaker 1: So many of them.

Speaker 1: All at the same time.

Speaker 1: We left before... before it looked like it was gonna happen.

Speaker 1: If you've been listening, we found Jackie.

Speaker 1: She's at peace now.

Speaker 1: Hey it's Jonas.

Speaker 1: More people have come by saying they're going to Louisville.

Speaker 1: Do NOT go to Louisville.

Speaker 1: They had a print-out. Said soldiers checked them for bites.

Speaker 1: Stuck a gun to their head and gave them a sheet of paper.

Speaker 1: This is what it says:

Speaker 1: This is addressed to those immune to the second wave of the Knox Infection.'

Speaker 1: You know you're immune. Till a bite at least.'

Speaker 1: If you don't, you will in coming days.'

Speaker 1: The time has come to bear arms against this threat.'

Speaker 1: They may be your family, they may be your friends.'

Speaker 1: Do not hesitate to pull the trigger.'

Speaker 1: We're safe here, but we're surrounded.

Speaker 1: We woke up this morning, and there they were.

Speaker 1: Some staring. Some clawing at the door.

Speaker 1: All of them hungry.

Speaker 1: Still not used to seeing them up close.

Speaker 1: They look so... so dead.

Speaker 1: No other word for it.

Speaker 1: Faces are blanks, 'cept for the hunger.

Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna go away.

Speaker 1: Okay again, this is what's being handed around.

Speaker 1: This is addressed to those unaffected by the second wave of the Knox Infection.'

Speaker 1: You might know who you are by now..'

Speaker 1: If you don't, you will in coming days.'

Speaker 1: The disease will not spread to you as it has to others...'

Speaker 1: ... but through fluid contact, by which I mean bites...'

Speaker 1: ... it surely will.'

Speaker 1: The time has come to bear arms against this threat.'

Speaker 1: They may be your family, they may be your friends.'

Speaker 1: Do not hesitate to pull the trigger.'

Speaker 1: These are dark days, but as a nation we can and will prevail.'

Speaker 1: You have not been forgotten.'

Speaker 1: We will come for you.'

Speaker 1: We're going to keep reporting from here as long as we can.

Speaker 1: If you can hear us, if anyone can, then we'll use this frequency.

Speaker 1: Whatever helps us to help you.

Speaker 1: We've got enough people around us to hold out.

Speaker 1: <fzzt>

Speaker 1: This is Jonas,

Speaker 2: JONAS! THEY'RE INSIDE. THEY'RE INSIDE. RUN!

Speaker 1: Shit! Wha-

Speaker 1: The spread of the Knox Event infection is now total.

***********

Speaker 1: You're on the NNR Network.

Speaker 1: We're going to break from our regular programming to...

Speaker 1: ... talk about the Kentucky situation.

Speaker 1: So, a huge area of forest and farmland has been cut off.

Speaker 1: Roads blocked. The border patrolled.

Speaker 1: Barriers intended for military use overseas used on home soil.

Speaker 1: A massive logistical operation, and for what end?

Speaker 1: The sectioning of an unknown, localized, contagion.

Speaker 1: What is this outbreak? Should America be afraid?

Speaker 1: We'll be asking the questions you want answered.

Speaker 1: Today, all day. On NNR.

Speaker 1: Back... after these messages.

Speaker 2: NNR Network: What matters to you, matters to America.

Speaker 1: You're on the NNR Network.

Speaker 1: The President today met officials from the CDC...

Speaker 1: ... the Center for Disease Control...

Speaker 1: ... on the ongoing Kentucky outbreak situation.

Speaker 1: We're expecting an official statement tomorrow, but White House representatives...

Speaker 1: ... have underlined that the large-scale military maneuvers in and around...

Speaker 1: ... the towns of Muldraugh and West Point are part of a 'long held and long term strategy'...

Speaker 1: ... that's in place to deal with 'security events and localized contamination'.

Speaker 1: The message seems clear: they know what they're doing.

Speaker 1: But shouldn't America know what they're doing too?

Speaker 1: So far no word from inside the Exclusion Zone...

Speaker 1: ... and journalists we know to have successfully cross the border have NOT yet re-emerged...

Speaker 1: ... although there is reason to believe they are in the care of the military.

Speaker 1: What is this outbreak? Should America be afraid?

Speaker 1: We'll be asking the questions you want answered.

Speaker 1: Today, all day. On NNR.

Speaker 1: Back... after these messages.

Speaker 2: NNR Network: What matters to you, matters to America.

Speaker 1: You're on the NNR Network.

Speaker 1: The end of another troubled day in Kentucky.

Speaker 1: Here's everything NNR news sources have exclusively uncovered...

Speaker 1: ... over the last 48 hours.

Speaker 1: The Knox Event outbreak is localized.

Speaker 1: It is an influenza-like disease that renders the afflicted unconscious.

Speaker 1: After a period of illness, sufferers regain motor functions.

Speaker 1: They are, however, dazed and confused. Panicked and nauseous.

Speaker 1: It's in this state, we are told, that military scientists are finding them.

Speaker 1: The infection is widespread in the Zone, and how it spreads is unknown.

Speaker 1: We have seen soldiers in HazMat suits, however.

Speaker 1: The US Army is taking absolutely no chances.

Speaker 1: We're promised a press conference to update the nation tomorrow.

Speaker 1: It's there that we'll be asking the questions you want answered.

Speaker 1: Tomorrow, all day. On NNR.

Speaker 1: Back... after these messages.

Speaker 2: NNR Network: What matters to you, matters to America.

Speaker 1: You're on the NNR Network.

Speaker 1: The Knox Evacuation: there WILL be answers.

Speaker 1: This morning the President meets with the CDC for a second time.

Speaker 1: This afternoon: a press conference to allay fear and explain the Exclusion Zone.

Speaker 1: All the while, fear and anger sweep the Nation.

Speaker 1: Demonstrations in Washington.

Speaker 1: City workers in hygiene masks on the New York subway.

Speaker 1: Eyewitness reports suggest extreme flu-like symptoms followed by confusion.

Speaker 1: The use of violence between sufferers has been reported.

Speaker 1: People displaced from the Zone's outer perimeter...

Speaker 1: ... three days ago demand answers...

Speaker 1: ... now joined in camps by concerned relatives of those still inside.

Speaker 1: In front of them? A strengthened military blockade.

Speaker 1: South of Louisville. Below the Ohio River.

Speaker 1: The area remains ringfenced by troops from local military bases.

Speaker 1: Equipment due to be deployed overseas brought out to fight the infection.

Speaker 1: The question remains: why can't we speak to them?

Speaker 2: NNR Network: What matters to you, matters to America.

Speaker 1: This is NNR.

Speaker 1: General John McGrew has confirmed 'panic' within the Exclusion Zone.

Speaker 1: However he underlined there was 'no evidence' of fatalities.

Speaker 1: Here is the full statement, recorded just moments ago.

Speaker 2: I am making this statement at 11AM on the 14th July 1993.

Speaker 2: There are many rumors circulating. Many falsehoods.

Speaker 2: This is an appeal for calm.

Speaker 2: I can confirm there has been an outbreak.

Speaker 2: The ailment is, as yet, unidentified.

Speaker 2: It is flu-like. It leads to panic. It leads to confusion.

Speaker 2: There is NO evidence of fatalities within the Exclusion Zone.

Speaker 2: We are using judged and judicious force to maintain the border.

Speaker 2: Warning shots have been fired.

Speaker 2: No civilians have been harmed.

Speaker 2: We must ensure that this infection is not allowed to spread.

Speaker 2: I am in hourly contact with the President on this matter.

Speaker 2: The no-fly zone will remain in place for the foreseeable future.

Speaker 2: At this time, we will take no questions.

Speaker 3: NNR Network: What matters to you, matters to America.

Speaker 1: You're on the NNR Network.

Speaker 1: The President has claimed he is 'distressed' by the Knox Event.

Speaker 2: This is a distressing time.

Speaker 2: The situation in Kentucky is unexpected and saddening.

Speaker 2: My first thoughts are with the friends and families of those within the Zone.

Speaker 2: People have been separated, folk have been evacuated...

Speaker 2: I understand the difficulties facing us.

Speaker 2: However, I have faith in the fine people of the Center for Disease Control...

Speaker 2: ... to get to the root of the panic and confusion within the Exclusion Zone.

Speaker 2: I have faith in our Servicemen and Women to fulfill their duties...

Speaker 2: ... and for General John McGrew to command them with the foresight and dedication...

Speaker 2: ... he has shown throughout his exemplary career.

Speaker 2: It is a distressing time America, but you are in safe hands.

Speaker 2: Thank you.

Speaker 1: General John McGrew had this to say this afternoon.

Speaker 3: There are many rumors circulating. Many falsehoods.

Speaker 3: This is an appeal for calm.

Speaker 3: I can confirm there has been an outbreak.

Speaker 3: The ailment is, as yet, unidentified.

Speaker 3: It is flu-like. It leads to panic. It leads to confusion.

Speaker 3: There is NO evidence of fatalities within the Exclusion Zone.

Speaker 4: NNR Network: What matters to you, matters to America.

Speaker 1: You're on the NNR Network.

Speaker 1: With us this morning is Dr Jeff Galbraithe...

Speaker 1: ... former Chief Scientist at the Center for Disease Control.

Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on the Knox situation, Jeff?

Speaker 2: Outrage.

Speaker 2: The way it's being handled...

Speaker 2: This is what happens: year after year, cut after cut...

Speaker 2: Department after department shut down.

Speaker 2: This sort of inefficiency. This lack of respect. This...

Speaker 1: Dr Galbraithe: what's going on in there?

Speaker 2: Well, there's a very communicable illness. Clearly.

Speaker 2: A fever, followed by other - perhaps lasting - bodily impediments.

Speaker 2: They're saying it's contained, so I can only imagine...

Speaker 2: ...that the initial spread has slowed.

Speaker 2: They think it's no longer easily communicable.

Speaker 1: But you don't believe in their judgement?

Speaker 2: America is not ready for this.

Speaker 2: We haven't been ready for a long time.

Speaker 2: We all know which administration is to blame.

Speaker 2: I won't spell it out.

Speaker 2: We are reliant on men with tanks rolling out and sitting on roads.

Speaker 2: You don't solve problems like this by pointing a gun.

Speaker 1: But what is it? Do believe the reports of violence?

Speaker 2: I only know there's more to it than what we are told.

Speaker 2: With this administration you can take that as a given.

Speaker 2: Thank you Dr Galbraithe.

Speaker 3: NNR Network: What matters to you, matters to America.

Speaker 1: This is NNR.

Speaker 1: What matters to you. What matters to America.

Speaker 1: As the day dawned on those impacted by the Knox Exclusion Zone.

Speaker 1: A fresh statement has been released to media and obtained by NNR.

Speaker 1: General John McGrew has apologised for 'a lack of clarity'.

Speaker 1: He underlines, however, that the outbreak IS contained.

Speaker 1: Disease control expert Dr Jeff Galbraithe, however...

Speaker 1: ...has poured cold water on these claims.

Speaker 1: Formerly the Chief Scientist at the Center for Disease Control...

Speaker 1: ...earlier this morning on NNR he claimed he felt 'outrage'.

Speaker 2: America is not ready for this.

Speaker 2: We haven't been ready for a long time.

Speaker 1: A demonstration is set to take place in Washington DC this afternoon...

Speaker 1: ... where those unhappy with the President's stance aim to make their voices heard.

Speaker 1: They want answers? Is this a result of the area's chemical testing in the sixties?

Speaker 1: Or is this just the Raleigh outbreak all over again?

Speaker 1: Whether they get answers or not, a strong police presence is expected.

Speaker 3: NNR Network: What matters to you, matters to America.

Speaker 1: You're on the NNR Network.

Speaker 1: What matters to you. What matters to America.

Speaker 1: Now we're here in the primary military camp south of Louisville.

Speaker 1: NNR have exclusive access to General John McGrew's operations today.

Speaker 1: Let me introduce you to Professor Jake Wilson.

Speaker 1: Now Professor Wilson, I understand that you're a scientist working with the military?

Speaker 2: I am, and I'm here to put a few fears to rest.

Speaker 2: People in there: they're in a bad way, but they're still standing.

Speaker 2: The symptoms are flu-like, then it's panic and confusion.

Speaker 2: The situation remains volatile.

Speaker 2: We think it's slowed, maybe transmission has... uh...

Speaker 2: It remains volatile. We think it's slowed.

Speaker 1: Will they recover?

Speaker 2: At this point in time we have no reason to believe they won't recover.

Speaker 1: Why can't we talk to them Jake?

Speaker 2: We're actually talking to Knox Telecommunications about that right now.

Speaker 2: There's a lot of confusion. It could distress.

Speaker 2: At this point in time we have no reason to believe they won't recover.

Speaker 1: You really think that's a good enough answer for America?

Speaker 2: Uh. We have the very best people looking into the samples we've taken.

Speaker 1: Jeff Galbraithe, former head scientist at the CDC, says America isn't ready for this.

Speaker 1: That chronic underfunding has left us unprepared.

Speaker 1: What's your take?

Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but that kinda talk's not my place.

Speaker 2: We've got a guy who handles this stuff, I'll introduce...

Speaker 1: I've already spoken to him several times. Thank you.

Speaker 2: And you.

Speaker 3: NNR Network: What matters to you, matters to America.

Speaker 1: Good evening. This is NNR.

Speaker 1: Tonight: public anger explodes onto the streets.

Speaker 1: A demonstration in Washington DC turned ugly this afternoon.

Speaker 1: As protesters were denied access to the Mall...

Speaker 1: ... a proposed march on the White House ends with dramatic scenes.

Speaker 1: Objects were hurled at the police, and the crowd forced back.

Speaker 1: At least twenty individuals have found themselves under arrest.

Speaker 1: Meanwhile reports of chronic governmental underfunding...

Speaker 1: ... in disease control just won't go away.

Speaker 1: The military insist that the spread of flu-like symptoms...

Speaker 1: ...within the Knox Event has slowed.

Speaker 1: But refuse to speculate on the 'confusion' now found within the Exclusion Zone.

Speaker 1: Meanwhile, Knox Telecommunications confirm that phone lines have been down...

Speaker 1: ... in the area from several days BEFORE the incident.

Speaker 1: This isn't enough to calm America.

Speaker 2: My aunt's in there. Why can't I hear her?

Speaker 2: Why can't they tell us the truth!

Speaker 3: What am I doing? I'm panic-buying. What does it look like?

Speaker 3: What happens next - that's just panic. It won't be pretty.

Speaker 3: These shelves will be empty.

Speaker 3: Except for the meat. They say it's in the meat.

Speaker 1: More when it happens, and as it happens.

Speaker 4: NNR Network: What matters to you, matters to America.

Speaker 1: Good morning, you're with the NNR Network...

Speaker 1: ...after a night of chaos on our streets.

Speaker 1: Washington DC. Detroit. Los Angeles.

Speaker 1: Stores looted, buildings set ablaze and running battles with police.

Speaker 1: The President has released a statement demanding calm.

Speaker 2: I understand the frustration. I can hear you: loud and clear.

Speaker 2: I understand the frustration because I'm like you.

Speaker 2: I want to know when my fellow Americans...

Speaker 2: ...fellow Americans who are laid low with sickness...

Speaker 2: ... can be returned to their families.

Speaker 2: To this end I will be talking to the General and the CDC today.

Speaker 2: From which I will be able to provide more answers.

Speaker 2: However.

Speaker 2: The horrifying activities we have seen on our streets over the last 24 hours?

Speaker 2: There is no excuse. No excuse whatsoever.

Speaker 2: Arrests will be made. Every authority is on high alert.

Speaker 2: If you are seeking to disrupt our way of life through fear and scaremongering...

Speaker 2: ...you will be sorely disappointed.

Speaker 2: I will come back to you with more information...

Speaker 2: ...FULL information...

Speaker 2: When I have it in my hand.

Speaker 3: NNR Network: What matters to you, matters to America.

Speaker 1: This is NNR. Good morning.

Speaker 1: Looting. Stores set aflame.

Speaker 1: Organized conflict with police officials...

Speaker 1: The President has spoken out after this night of violence.

Speaker 1: While American allies overseas look at the scene with increasing horror.

Speaker 2: I understand the frustration. I can hear you: loud and clear.

Speaker 2: I understand the frustration because I'm like you.

Speaker 2: I want to know when my fellow Americans...

Speaker 2: ...fellow Americans who are laid low with sickness...

Speaker 2: ... can be returned to their families.

Speaker 2: To this end I will be talking to the General and the CDC today.

Speaker 2: From which I will be able to provide more answers.

Speaker 2: However.

Speaker 2: The horrifying activities we have seen on our streets over the last 24 hours?

Speaker 2: There is no excuse. No excuse whatsoever.

Speaker 2: Arrests will be made. Every authority is on high alert.

Speaker 2: If you are seeking to disrupt our way of life through fear and scaremongering...

Speaker 2: ...you will be sorely disappointed.

Speaker 2: I will come back to you with more information...

Speaker 2: ...FULL information...

Speaker 2: When I have it in my hand.

Speaker 3: NNR Network: What matters to you, matters to America.

Speaker 1: This is NNR. Good afternoon.

Speaker 1: We have some breaking news.

Speaker 1: ALL Flights leaving the US mainland after 6pm EST tonight...

Speaker 1: ...have been grounded by the World Health Organisation.

Speaker 1: Their concern?

Speaker 1: The still unidentified Kentucky outbreak'.

Speaker 1: The President broke away from crisis talks with General John McGrew...

Speaker 1: ...to give this statement.

Speaker 2: This move is as unwelcome...

Speaker 2: ...as it is economically unsound.

Speaker 2: I will seek to redress this move at every opportunity.

Speaker 2: After talks with the General I am satisfied that...

Speaker 2: The Knox Event is, to all intents of purpose, contained.

Speaker 2: However.

Speaker 2: Tests on those recovering from the Knox sickness are inconclusive.

Speaker 2: We have labs set up inside the Zone now.

Speaker 2: I assure the American people that every dollar I have at my disposal...

Speaker 2: ...will go toward their healing and rehabilitation.

Speaker 2: However, I repeat: the Knox Event IS contained.

Speaker 2: Procedures are underway to ensure our safety.

Speaker 2: That will be all.

Speaker 3: NNR Network: What matters to you, matters to America.

Speaker 1: Good evening. This is NNR.

Speaker 1: On the day when ALL international flights were grounded...

Speaker 1: ...peacekeeping forces of police and military personnel patrol the streets.

Speaker 1: The official line: 'Stay indoors where possible. Do not panic.'

Speaker 1: Earlier today the President made the following statement:

Speaker 2: The Knox Event is, to all intents of purpose, contained.

Speaker 2: However.

Speaker 2: Tests on those recovering from the Knox sickness are inconclusive.

Speaker 2: We have labs set up inside the Zone now.

Speaker 2: I assure the American people that every dollar I have at my disposal...

Speaker 2: ...will go toward their healing and rehabilitation.

Speaker 2: However, I repeat: the Knox Event IS contained.

Speaker 2: Procedures are underway to ensure our safety.

Speaker 2: That will be all.

Speaker 1: Meanwhile, as a part of the military mobilization...

Speaker 1: ... the Knox Exclusion Zone boundary is being widened.

Speaker 1: The office of General John McGrew has stated that this is...

Speaker 1: ... 'to remove any element of doubt'...

Speaker 1: ...that the Knox Event is being dealt with 'safely' and 'responsibly'.

Speaker 3: NNR Network: What matters to you, matters to America.

Speaker 1: This is NNR. Good morning.

Speaker 1: Public anger at the Government's handling of the Knox Event...

Speaker 1: ...continues to spill out onto the streets.

Speaker 1: A confirmed fatality in New York, and many injured in Miami.

Speaker 1: A stand-off between armed locals and police forces in Missouri was calmed...

Speaker 1: ...with water cannons and tear gas.

Speaker 1: Meanwhile, the outbreak is said to be contained while...

Speaker 1: ... tests on the recovery of those afflicted are carried out...

Speaker 1: ...inside the Zone.

Speaker 1: To further secure the incident, the Exclusion Zone has been widened.

Speaker 1: Everyone within the new perimeter has been moved to temporary camps.

Speaker 1: The reason? 'To remove any element of doubt' that...

Speaker 1: ... the Knox Event is being dealt with safely and responsibly.

Speaker 1: Displaced locals, however, were quick to criticise the move.

Speaker 2: They came when it got dark - threw me and my boy in a truck!

Speaker 2: Said it's for our safety! I said 'safety from what?'

Speaker 2: I heard rumors y'all wouldn't believe.

Speaker 2: I heard are people trying to escape from inside.

Speaker 2: They want us away from there.

Speaker 2: They put us in a school hall. Too many people, too few beds.

Speaker 2: We started walking, and we ain't stopped.

Speaker 2: Those Army boys are scared.

Speaker 2: You can see it in their eyes.

Speaker 3: NNR Network: What matters to you, matters to America.

Speaker 1: Good morning, you're listening to NNR.

Speaker 1: Breaking news this hour!

Speaker 1: A curfew announced in New York, Miami and LA with more to follow.

Speaker 1: The President addressed a press briefing just moments ago.

Speaker 2: It is time to face facts. It is time to settle down.

Speaker 2: We only ask for your responsible actions as an American citizen.

Speaker 2: I, personally, take responsibility for the perceived lack of communication.

Speaker 2: And for the rumor-mongering that has grown around the so-called 'Knox Event'

Speaker 2: At this time we have no reason to believe residents of Kentucky will not recover.

Speaker 2: However, as the picture clears, and more information is made available...

Speaker 2: ... its likelihood is starting to recede.

Speaker 2: We have been hesitant to discuss specifics, yes, but with reason.

Speaker 2: The Knox Event IS contained, but its panic and confusion are not.

Speaker 2: We wanted to establish facts, but public alarm has not provided enough time.

Speaker 2: From 6pm tonight there will be curfews in some of our biggest cities.

Speaker 2: This is for your protection. Please do not leave your house.

Speaker 2: Please have faith in both our military and our emergency services.

Speaker 2: I ask our journalistic community to report responsibly.

Speaker 2: We are examining all potentialities.

Speaker 2: I will update you whenever we have new information.

Speaker 3: This is NNR.

Speaker 3: NNR Network: What matters to you, matters to America.

Speaker 1: This is NNR, good afternoon.

Speaker 1: The President today announced a 6pm curfew in major cities.

Speaker 1: He went on to reiterate that the Knox Event is contained.

Speaker 1: He, however, admitted responsibility for the 'perceived lack of communication'.

Speaker 2: It is time to face facts. It is time to settle down.

Speaker 2: We only ask for your responsible actions as an American citizen.

Speaker 2: I, personally, take responsibility for the perceived lack of communication.

Speaker 2: And for the rumor-mongering that has grown around the so-called 'Knox Event'

Speaker 2: At this time we have no reason to believe residents of Kentucky will not recover.

Speaker 2: However, as the picture clears, and more information is made available...

Speaker 2: ... its likelihood is starting to recede.

Speaker 2: We have been hesitant to discuss specifics, yes, but with reason.

Speaker 2: The Knox Event IS contained, but its panic and confusion are not.

Speaker 2: We wanted to establish facts, but public alarm has not provided enough time.

Speaker 2: From 6pm tonight there will be curfews in some of our biggest cities.

Speaker 2: This is for your protection. Please do not leave your house.

Speaker 2: Please have faith in both our military and our emergency services.

Speaker 2: I ask our journalistic community to report responsibly.

Speaker 2: We are examining all potentialities.

Speaker 2: I will update you whenever we have new information.

Speaker 3: This is NNR.

Speaker 3: NNR Network: What matters to you, matters to America.

Speaker 1: This is NNR.

Speaker 1: Shocking pictures have emerged from the Exclusion Zone.

Speaker 1: Earlier today the President discussed a 'receding likelihood'...

Speaker 1: ... of recovery for those afflicted by the Knox Event.

Speaker 1: Photography leaked from the Exclusion Zone, however, paints a...

Speaker 1: ... more extreme picture.

Speaker 1: Some listeners will find the following description shocking.

Speaker 1: The photo is of a crowded street, but in focus is a man.

Speaker 1: His age thirty. His clothing bloodstained.

Speaker 1: One arm is raised as if in greeting.

Speaker 1: The other is missing.

Speaker 1: He is bloody. Covered in what would appear to be bite marks.

Speaker 1: Or perhaps wounds inflicted by a bladed weapon.

Speaker 1: He is still standing. He is apparently unharmed.

Speaker 1: We have established the validity of this photograph.

Speaker 1: We would also remind listeners that throughout it all - the message has been:

Speaker 1: The Knox Event is contained.

Speaker 1: The public have been shielded, rightly or wrongly, from a truth.

Speaker 1: But the Knox Event IS contained.

Speaker 2: NNR Network: What matters to you, matters to America.

Speaker 1: This is NNR. Good morning.

Speaker 1: Our apologies for this morning's break in programming.

Speaker 1: Another night of violence nationwide...

Speaker 1: ... as more shocking details on the Knox Event emerge.

Speaker 1: Conflict is endemic throughout the Exclusion Zone.

Speaker 1: Those suffering from the affliction... hunt those unaffected.

Speaker 1: Mothers. Fathers. Children.

Speaker 1: The change is total.

Speaker 1: The change is, observers claim, absolute.

Speaker 1: When questioned officials refused either to confirm or deny these revelations.

Speaker 1: Answering only that the Knox Event is contained...

Speaker 1: ... and that further information would be discussed later today.

Speaker 1: The curfew will be enforced until further notice.

Speaker 1: Your regional NNR station will have all the details.

Speaker 1: God bless America.

Speaker 2: The curfew will be enforced until further notice.

Speaker 2: Your regional NNR station will have all the details.

Speaker 3: NNR Network: What matters to you, matters to America.

Speaker 1: This is NNR. Good afternoon.

Speaker 1: Shocking detail continues to emerge from Kentucky...

Speaker 1: ... while America asks: is the Event truly contained?

Speaker 1: Those who suffer from the infection prey on the healthy.

Speaker 1: While survivor testimony claims the military have been holding civilians...

Speaker 1: ... suspected of contact with the illness INSIDE the Exclusion Zone.

Speaker 1: As of last night, however, many found freedom.

Speaker 1: Curfew Officials talking to NNR have refused to comment.

Speaker 1: Their assurance: that the Knox Event is contained.

Speaker 1: A briefing from General John McGrew is expected this evening.

Speaker 2: The curfew will be enforced until further notice.

Speaker 2: Your regional NNR station will have all the details.

Speaker 2: NNR Network: What matters to you, matters to America.

Speaker 1: You're on the NNR Network.

Speaker 1: We're going straight over to General John McGrew.

Speaker 2: First and foremost: we are safe.

Speaker 2: America is safe.

Speaker 2: Today we can confirm that, yes, the nature of the Knox Event is degenerative.

Speaker 2: It causes panic and confusion among sufferers

Speaker 2: Some of whom will then perform acts that are... un-American.

Speaker 2: The initial period of contagion is over.

Speaker 2: There is absolutely NO need for further panic.

Speaker 2: Panic... engendered by irresponsible and unofficial reporting.

Speaker 2: Sufferers are NOT deceased.

Speaker 2: We ARE establishing the likelihood of discovering a cure.

Speaker 2: At this stage the infection is passed only through DIRECT fluid contact.

Speaker 2: This means bites. This means scratches.

Speaker 2: My thoughts are with those poor souls behind the Event line.

Speaker 2: But this is contained.

Speaker 2: It has always been contained.

Speaker 2: We are safe.

Speaker 2: America is safe.

Speaker 3: The curfew will be enforced until further notice.

Speaker 3: Your regional NNR station will have all the details.

Speaker 4: NNR Network: What matters to you, matters to America.

Speaker 1: This is NNR.

Speaker 1: This was a statement from General John McGrew recorded earlier today.

Speaker 2: First and foremost: we are safe.

Speaker 2: America is safe.

Speaker 2: Today we can confirm that, yes, the nature of the Knox Event is degenerative.

Speaker 2: It causes panic and confusion among sufferers

Speaker 2: Some of whom will then perform acts that are... un-American.

Speaker 2: The initial period of contagion is over.

Speaker 2: There is absolutely NO need for further panic.

Speaker 2: Panic... engendered by irresponsible and unofficial reporting.

Speaker 2: Sufferers are NOT deceased.

Speaker 2: We ARE establishing the likelihood of discovering a cure.

Speaker 2: At this stage the infection is passed only through DIRECT fluid contact.

Speaker 2: This means bites. This means scratches.

Speaker 2: My thoughts are with those poor souls behind the Event line.

Speaker 2: But this is contained.

Speaker 2: It has always been contained.

Speaker 2: We are safe.

Speaker 2: America is safe.

Speaker 3: The curfew will be enforced until further notice.

Speaker 3: Your regional NNR station will have all the details.

Speaker 4: NNR Network: What matters to you, matters to America.

Speaker 1: This is NNR. Good morning.

Speaker 1: The President left the White House through angry crowds last night.

Speaker 1: As protesters incensed by the secrecy surrounding the Knox Event...

Speaker 1: ... broke curfew once again and converged on the Mall.

Speaker 1: General John McGrew has spelled out that, despite rumor to the contrary...

Speaker 1: ... sufferers are not deceased.

Speaker 1: At this stage only direct fluid contact can spread the disease.

Speaker 1: This, however, is no comfort to those with friends and relatives...

Speaker 1: ... inside the Exclusion Zone. Or close by.

Speaker 1: Reports are coming in of violent clashes on the perimeter.

Speaker 1: We'll have news on that as it happens.

Speaker 1: And as ever we must report:

Speaker 2: The curfew will be enforced until further notice.

Speaker 2: Your regional NNR station will have all the details.

Speaker 3: NNR Network: What matters to you, matters to America.

Speaker 1: Good afternoon. This is NNR.

Speaker 1: The President has made the following recorded statement.

Speaker 2: Fellow Americans.

Speaker 2: We must have peace.

Speaker 2: Please: tonight, stay in your homes.

Speaker 2: Mistakes have been made, I know.

Speaker 2: But at this point the Knox Event is contained.

Speaker 2: The world is watching us.

Speaker 2: We don't have to panic.

Speaker 2: The curfew is there for a reason, and I would ask you to stick by it.

Speaker 2: We intend to make deliberate action within the Exclusion Zone very soon.

Speaker 1: This is still NNR. We're still getting reports of violence and gunfire...

Speaker 1: ... on the Zone perimeter south of Louisville.

Speaker 1: We can't get in touch with our team right now.

Speaker 1: More as it happens.

Speaker 2: The curfew will be enforced until further notice.

Speaker 2: Your regional NNR station will have all the details.

Speaker 3: NNR Network: What matters to you, matters to America.

Speaker 1: You're on the NNR Network.

Speaker 1: Survivors are reporting developments on the perimeter.

Speaker 1: The Primary Exclusion Zone camp has been compromised.

Speaker 1: Running battles between civilians and military enforcement...

Speaker 1: ... resulted in the deployment of tear gas and later...

Speaker 1: ... gunfire.

Speaker 1: The conflict was nearing an end when...

Speaker 1: When a huge movement of people came from INSIDE the Zone.

Speaker 1: Hundreds of people - thought to be infected - entered the area.

Speaker 1: The ground is littered with the dead and the dying.

Speaker 1: It's impossible to tell who has the infection, and who does not.

Speaker 2: I was in there. I got away.

Speaker 2: Look at this. Look at my arm.

Speaker 2: One of them got to me. Sunk her teeth right in.

Speaker 2: What are they saying?

Speaker 2: Do you know what this means?

Speaker 2: Does this mean I'm infected?

Speaker 2: Don't look at me like that!

Speaker 2: Screw you man! Fu-

Speaker 3: *bzzt* *fzzt*

Speaker 4: The curfew will be enforced until further notice.

Speaker 4: Your regional NNR station will have all the details.

Speaker 5: NNR Network: What matters to you, matters to America.

Speaker 1: This is NNR.

Speaker 1: Horrific events have played out in Kentucky.

Speaker 1: Pitched battles between civilians and crowd control experts...

Speaker 1: ...resulted in sporadic gunfire and casualties throughout yesterday afternoon.

Speaker 1: At one point tear gas was deployed and...

Speaker 1: ... during a break in the fighting...

Speaker 1: ... a wave of infected came from the South.

Speaker 1: Defences were overwhelmed.

Speaker 1: A considered assault by military forces took place.

Speaker 1: The death toll is in the hundreds.

Speaker 1: In terms of the infected... many hundreds more.

Speaker 1: Their bodies lie together now, all as one.

Speaker 1: Crowds of people have escaped the chaos.

Speaker 1: Some on foot. Some in vehicles.

Speaker 1: Some themselves victim to fluid contact with the infected.

Speaker 1: In tense scenes: a military convoy is moving alongside them.

Speaker 1: The Knox Event is compromised.

Speaker 2: The curfew will be enforced until further notice.

Speaker 2: Your regional NNR station will have all the details.

Speaker 3: NNR Network: What matters to you, matters to America.

Speaker 1: Good morning. This is NNR.

Speaker 1: Our reporter is on Route 31W south of Louisville.

Speaker 1: Al. Al can you hear me?

Speaker 2: I can.

Speaker 2: Eyewitness accounts suggest a scene of devastation to the South.

Speaker 2: Unburied bodies left on the ground.

Speaker 2: An eerie silence.

Speaker 2: People are running.

Speaker 2: I'm seeing occasional conflicts on the road.

Speaker 2: People are doing their best to keep separate.

Speaker 2: The Event's military force now absent...

Speaker 2: Apart from some occasionally seen away from the crowd...

Speaker 2: Suspicions and emotions are running high.

Speaker 2: I'm standing next to the body of a man...

Speaker 2: ... apparently injured by the infected assault.

Speaker 2: Now he lies dead. A bullet wound to the chest.

Speaker 2: What the infected began, the uninfected have finished.

Speaker 2: Anarchy reigns in Kentucky this morning.

Speaker 2: Back to the studio.

Speaker 3: The curfew will be enforced until further notice.

Speaker 3: Your regional NNR station will have all the details.

Speaker 4: NNR Network: What matters to you, matters to America.

Speaker 1: This is NNR. Good afternoon.

Speaker 1: Chaos in Louisville.

Speaker 1: Traffic gridlock and violent confrontations...

Speaker 1: ...during a mass surge to the North.

Speaker 1: Louisville officials have urged residents to stay in their homes.

Speaker 1: A request now seeming futile - with chaos on the Interstate...

Speaker 1: ... and huge lines at gas stations.

Speaker 1: Many are driving, some are even walking.

Speaker 1: Their aim? To get north. Over the Ohio river.

Speaker 1: While confrontations with those displaced by yesterday's horror...

Speaker 1: ...are breaking out throughout the city.

Speaker 1: Our reporter submitted this report.

Speaker 1: We apologise for its emotive content.

Speaker 2: I've seen... infected people outside of the Zone.

Speaker 2: There was an attack at a rest stop.

Speaker 2: A child, a child that was thought to be sleeping.

Speaker 2: He suddenly awoke, and inflicted a wound on his mother.

Speaker 2: A crowd formed.

Speaker 2: I walked away. I don't know what happened next.

Speaker 2: I'm sorry.

Speaker 2: I just didn't want to know.

Speaker 2: I couldn't.

Speaker 3: The curfew will be enforced until further notice.

Speaker 1: Our reporter is on the ground.

Speaker 2: There are people here who have had NO contact with the infected.

Speaker 2: They're running fevers. They're incapacitated.

Speaker 2: Without urgent medical attention many will soon die.

Speaker 2: Medical attention, right now, is yet to arrive.

Speaker 2: The Knox Infection is spreading without fluid contact!

Speaker 2: We repeat: the Knox Infection is spreading without fluid contact!

Speaker 1: Before we were handed this... shocking news...

Speaker 1: ... plans for a strengthened curfew had been put in place.

Speaker 1: Symptoms that result in incapacitation and, possibly, death.

Speaker 1: Or a status much like it.

Speaker 1: The President's Office has requested America not to panic.

Speaker 1: A statement reads:

Speaker 1: Huge numbers of people - men, women and children - are falling ill all over Louisville.

Speaker 1: No-one knows why, or how.

Speaker 1: Although it seems impossible.

Speaker 1: It has happened.

Speaker 1: The Knox Event is not alone.

Speaker 1: NNR are <cough> not aware of cases in mainland America...

Speaker 1: ...outside of Kentucky.

Speaker 1: Our advice, not the President's...

Speaker 1: No: my advice...

Speaker 1: We've spent our time testing the land around us.

Speaker 1: Making sure the military testing thirty long years ago...

Speaker 1: ... to protect our country...

Speaker 1: ... was as safe as we always thought it was.

Speaker 1: Know what?

Speaker 1: What do you know?

Speaker 2: Nothin'! I was on the phone to my daughter... then she goes dead!

Speaker 1: Did she mention any kind of infection Marcia?

Speaker 2: Kids were off school with a fever. Nothing bad.

Speaker 2: Now we can't talk! Can't go see her!

Speaker 1: Nothing else?

Speaker 1: They're saying panic and confusion in there.

Speaker 2: That's it. They had a fever.

Speaker 1: How are you Marcia? Are you scared?

Speaker 2: Scared? I'm not scared - I'm pissed!

Speaker 2: Who do these guys think they are?

Speaker 1: They're the US Army ma'am.

Speaker 1: Back after these messages.

Speaker 1: You're back with KnoxTalk radio.

Speaker 1: Today we're talking to people who made it out of the Exclusion Zone.

Speaker 1: Bobby? Tell us what happened.

Speaker 2: I headed out on the freeway when the soldiers showed.

Speaker 2: Musta been one of the last out. Then helicopters, trucks, guns...

Speaker 1: You hear anything about the Event Bobby?

Speaker 2: Kinda. Heard it said some people are ill.

Speaker 2: Walking funny.

Speaker 2: They say it starts with a fever, but I missed all that.

Speaker 1: Are they violent Bobby?

Speaker 2: They what?

Speaker 1: Are they violent?

Speaker 1: Some say there's attacks in there.

Speaker 2: I was getting lunch in Spiffos.

Speaker 2: Didn't see no fight.

Speaker 1: Thanks for your call Bobby!

Speaker 2: Okay. Bye.

Speaker 1: We've got someone with something new. Twiggy, you there?

Speaker 2: Sure am. Figured you'd want to hear from someone from inside.

Speaker 2: I live in West Point. Own a bar.

Speaker 2: I went away to visit a cousin, but the night before...

Speaker 2: Weird stuff.

Speaker 2: Helicopters flying low over us to Muldraugh.

Speaker 2: We get that stuff - we're an Army town.

Speaker 2: Serve those boys most nights.

Speaker 2: Just seemed out of place.

Speaker 2: Next day I'm coming back. It's no-go.

Speaker 2: Thanking God I had my wife and dog with me, I guess.

Speaker 2: Else I wouldn't be seeing them for a week.

Speaker 2: Dog's been sick, so glad she's with me.

Speaker 2: I don't know how long this dang thing will take.

Speaker 2: Do you know?

Speaker 1: I'm afraid I do not.

Speaker 1: Thanks for your call.

Speaker 1: You're on the air Madison.

Speaker 2: I just wanna say this was planned.

Speaker 1: What was planned? A disease outbreak?

Speaker 2: All those helicopters. All those soldiers. Just appearing.

Speaker 2: My boy was in Desert Storm - I know it can't be done in days...

Speaker 2: To move those guys that quickly?

Speaker 2: They knew a storm was brewing.

Speaker 2: They knew this might happen.

Speaker 1: I don't know Madison.

Speaker 1: They have to plan for all contingencies.

Speaker 2: Cutting off counties south of the Ohio river is a HELL of a contingency.

Speaker 1: Good point and well made.

Speaker 1: Okay, next caller after these...

Speaker 1: We appreciate your calls, especially as people inside the zone...

Speaker 1: Well they can't call.

Speaker 1: Apparently Knox Telecommunications have been working on the lines.

Speaker 1: And they've been out for a week.

Speaker 1: That's long before the blockade was set up.

Speaker 1: Christian, my producer tells me you can confirm this?

Speaker 1: We've got a lot of folks hungry for a conspiracy on our lines.

Speaker 1: You're saying it's bad timing?

Speaker 2: My phone is still out!

Speaker 2: It's been out for... nine days?

Speaker 2: Guy from Knox Telephones came round.

Speaker 2: Said to expect some disruption.

Speaker 1: So where are you calling from Christian?

Speaker 2: My sister's place.

Speaker 2: I live just North of the river. She's up in Louisville.

Speaker 1: And you wanted to get away?

Speaker 2: Sure did.

Speaker 2: I don't know what's happening on the other side of the water...

Speaker 2: But it's not good.

Speaker 2: You can smell it in the air.

Speaker 2: Something's smelled bad for weeks, it gets into your lungs.

Speaker 2: That's what's behind it.

Speaker 1: Thanks for your call Christian,

Speaker 1: How you doing James?

Speaker 2: Ah. Not so good.

Speaker 1: Guess we don't need to ask why. You know anyone in there?

Speaker 2: Nah. It's just - weird not knowing what's going down.

Speaker 2: I mean, it's 1993. There's gotta be other ways to call out.

Speaker 1: Phone system's down James. No big transmitters I know of.

Speaker 2: How about something short-range?

Speaker 1: I'm in your boat James. I just don't know.

Speaker 2: What if they don't want to be heard?

Speaker 2: What if they're... too far gone?

Speaker 2: You think that's what they're hiding?

Speaker 1: Lots of military bases in there James. Whole lot of secret stuff.

Speaker 1: That's my reading anyway.

Speaker 2: It's not right though, is it?

Speaker 1: Not much is.

Speaker 1: We'll come back to you after this James.

Speaker 1: You're with KnoxTalk Catherine...

Speaker 2: That new Spiffo's restaurant just opened.

Speaker 1: And you think it's connected?

Speaker 2: It's in the meat!

Speaker 2: They've been feeding cattle to cattle!

Speaker 2: It's a European thing.

Speaker 1: You think it's related to the BSE crisis?

Speaker 1: Mad Cow disease?

Speaker 2: There was a guy talking about it on Triple-N.

Speaker 2: Guy wrote a book. Said it gets into your head.

Speaker 2: You eat burgers, and it gets to your brain.

Speaker 2: My son worked in Spiffos before they let him go.

Speaker 2: You know how many he cooked a day?

Speaker 2: A lot. A whole lot.

Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 1: Thanks for your call Catherine.

Speaker 1: Let's get some focus.

Speaker 1: We got a retired Colonel on the line. Colonel Smythe out of Arkansas.

Speaker 2: I've been detectin' some... anti authority sentiment on your show.

Speaker 2: Now, my daddy - he was a soldier.

Speaker 2: His daddy too. Then me. Then my son.

Speaker 2: We shed a lot of blood for the red, white and blue.

Speaker 2: These boys protectin' those people - we don't know their orders.

Speaker 2: But we do know they're doing the right thing.

Speaker 2: No matter what.

Speaker 2: They're regular men like your son, like my son.

Speaker 2: Have faith in them, and have faith in their superiors.

Speaker 2: Nothing comes easy in the Army.

Speaker 2: That doesn't mean you don't do right.

Speaker 1: Thank you for your call.

Speaker 1: Good to hear the other side.

Speaker 1: Back after this...

Speaker 1: Ethan's called in. How are you Ethan?

Speaker 2: You think it matters how I am?

Speaker 2: How about the poor souls behind the Event line?

Speaker 1: Well of course...

Speaker 2: This is judgment. This is God.

Speaker 1: That's certainly a point of...

Speaker 2: Let me finish! This is foretold. Jesus is coming home.

Speaker 2: Everyone listening. EVERYONE listening.

Speaker 2: You get on your knees and repent.

Speaker 2: He knows your sins, and he's a comin'.

Speaker 2: No. In fact, he's already here. And you are JUDGED.

Speaker 2: You know what it says in the book of Revelations?

Speaker 1: I do. Okay, onto the next caller.

Speaker 2: The great day of his wrath is come!

Speaker 2: And who shall be able to stand?

Speaker 1: Okay. Thank you!

Speaker 1: If you haven't heard they've grounded flights.

Speaker 1: Domestic flights are dandy, but if you're thinking of going further...

Speaker 1: You're gonna be disappointed.

Speaker 1: The WHO, that's the World Health Organisation, are to blame.

Speaker 1: Todd, I hear you've got an opinion.

Speaker 2: Sure as heck I do.

Speaker 2: Who gave this 'WHO' a right to tell us what to do?

Speaker 2: They watching the same news I am?

Speaker 2: We've got a problem. We've got it contained.

Speaker 1: Who's 'We' Todd?

Speaker 2: The United States of America!

Speaker 2: WHO's got no business here!

Speaker 2: How in hell can they tell us what to do?

Speaker 2: They're scared of catching a cold, so what?

Speaker 2: America can't do business?

Speaker 2: America can kiss vacations goodbye?

Speaker 2: We founded this nation to get away from those bastards.

Speaker 1: Todd I'm gonna have to ask for less cussing.

Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Speaker 2: It's just...

Speaker 2: Y'know I love America.

Speaker 1: We all do Todd.
