(01:02):
GOOD EVENING.
AND WELCOME TO "KENTUCKY
EDITION" FOR THIS TUESDAY, APRIL
THE 22nd.
I'M RENEE SHAW COMING TO YOU
FROM THE GAYLORD OPRYLAND RESORT
AND CONVENTION CENTER IN
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE.
THIS IS THE SITE OF THE ANNUAL
PRESCRIPTION AND ILLICIT DRUG
SUMMIT THE NATION'S LARGEST
COLLABORATION OF STAKEHOLDERS
(01:23):
DEDICATED TO COMBATING DRUG
ADDICTION.
NOW IN ITS 14TH YEAR THE
CONFERENCE DRAWS THOUSANDS FROM
ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT,
RECOVERY AND TREATMENT
PROVIDERS, LAW ENFORCEMENT AND
FAMILIES OF INDIVIDUALS
INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE
ABOUT BATTLING ADDICTION FROM
PREVENTION TO INTERVENTIONS AND
TREATMENT MODELS.
CONGRESSMAN HAL ROGERS OF
(01:44):
KENTUCKY'S FIFTH CONGRESS AT
DISTRICT LAUNCHED THE SUMMIT
BORN FROM A PROGRAM HE STARTED
CALLED OPERATION UNITE THAT USES
AN APPROACH TO BATTLING
SUBSTANCE ABUSE.
NARCOTICS INVESTIGATIONS,
TREATMENT AND EDUCATION.
THIS MORNING I HAD THE CHANCE TO
SIT DOWN WITH CONGRESSMAN ROGERS
HERE IN NASHVILLE TO GET HIS
(02:05):
1240E9S HOW THE CONFERENCE
CHANGED OVER THE YEARS.
CONGRESSMAN HAL ROGERS IT IS A
PLEASURE TO SIT DOWN WITH YOU
AND TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE
SUCCESS 14 YEARS OF THIS SUMMIT.
DID YOU EVER THINK IT WOULD BE
THE SIZE, THE ATTENDANCE AND THE
QUALITY CONVERSATIONS THAT
YOU'RE HAVING LIKE WE'RE SEEING
NOW?
>> NO.
(02:26):
I DID NOT ANTICIPATE THE
EXPLOSION THE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE.
BUT WHEN YOU CONSIDER WHO THESE
PEOPLE ARE, THEY ARE MOTIVATED
BY LOVE OF A FAMILY MEMBER WHO
DIED FROM AN OVERDOSE PERHAPS.
A CHILD, A PARENT, WE'VE SEEN SO
(02:47):
MUCH SUFFERING.
IN FACT, IN ONE OF MY SURVEYS,
WE FOUND THAT OVER HALF OF KIDS
ARE LIVING WITH A GRANDPARENT OR
A PERSON OTHER THAN THEIR
BIOLOGICAL PARENTS.
WHICH TELLS YOU THAT WE'VE GOT A
(03:08):
REAL PROBLEM.
THAT IS SOMETHING,
RIGHT, THAT GRANDPARENTS ARE
RAISING THEIR GRANDCHILDREN AND
LARGE MEASURE DUE TO THIS.
I DO WANT TO TALK ABOUT GOOD
NEWS ANNOUNCED ON THE FIRST DAY
OF THE CONFERENCE ABOUT THE
C.D.C. LATEST REPORT AND I WON'T
BLOW THE LEAD AND LET YOU TAKE
IT WHAT WAS THE GOOD NEWS THAT
YOU LEARNED?
>> THIS WAS GOOD NEWS FROM
(03:32):
SOURCES, TO THESE PEOPLE AT THIS
CONVENTION AND AROUND THE WORLD.
IN THE 24 NUMBERS, WE DECREASED
THE NUMBER OF DEATHS OVERDOSES
BY 30%.
(03:54):
SO THAT SAYS TO ME, KEEP UP THE
GOOD WORK THAT YOU ARE ON THE
RIGHT PATH.
AND I THINK WE ARE.
WE'RE SEEING PEOPLE COME HERE
THAT'S NEVER BEEN TO SOMETHING
LIKE THIS BEFORE.
AND THEY ARE ENTHUSIASTIC.
AND THE SESSION WE JUST ENDED
(04:15):
THEY WERE CHEERING VARIOUS
MEMBERS OF THE CONGRESS THAT
WERE HERE.
SO THERE'S ENTHUSIASM, THERE'S
LOVE OF LIFE AND THERE ARE
PEOPLE READY TO GO TO WORK.
DO YOU KNOW TO WHAT
THAT IS ATTRIBUTABLE?
DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THAT
(04:36):
DECLINE?
AND HOW DO YOU SUSTAIN THAT AND
ACCELERATE THAT?
>> WELL, I THINK THERE'S A GREAT
NUMBER OF REASONS WHY IT TOOK
PLACE.
ONE, I LIKE TO THINK THAT THIS
SUMMIT THAT WE'VE NOW HELD 14
STRAIGHT YEARS, GIVES PEOPLE THE
(04:56):
CONFIDENCE TO TAKE THE NEXT
STEP.
SO I THINK THIS WILLING WORKER
SIGN UP PLACE THAT WE HAVE HERE
HELPS.
WITH THE HOLISTIC APPROACH.
UNITED NARCOTICS INVESTIGATIONS,
(05:17):
TREATMENT AND EDUCATION.
SO AND OF COURSE THE BORDER.
I THINK THE BETTER SECURING OF
THE BORDER IS KEEPING A LOT OF
MEDICINE OUT OF HERE THANK GOD.
(05:37):
BUT DEDICATED WORKERS AND PEOPLE
LIKE YOURSELF WITH THE MEDIA
THAT BROADCASTS GOOD NEWS EVEN
BAD NEWS.
SO THANKS.
THANK YOU, SIR.
THANK YOU.
(05:58):
WE ALSO CAUGHT UP WITH ANOTHER
MEMBER OF KENTUCKY'S FEDERAL
DELEGATION THIS MORNING IN
NASHVILLE CONGRESSMAN BRETT
GUTHRIE REPRESENTS KENTUCKY'S
SECOND DISTRICT HE IS CHAIRMAN
OF THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON ENERGY
AND COMMERCE THAT IS TASKED WITH
MAKING 880 BILLION DOLLARS IN
FEDERAL SPENDING KUTDS FROM THE
PROGRAMS UNDER ITS JURISDICTION
(06:20):
WHICH INCLUDE THE MEDICAID THAT
SERVES LOW INCOME AMERICANS.
HERE IS WHAT HE HAD TO SAY ABOUT
THAT.
>> WE KNOW THERE ARE LOTS OF
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT FEDERAL
SPENDING RIGHT NOW AND WHETHER
OR NOT MEDICAID COULD BE ROLLED
BACK AND DIALED BACK AND THERE
ARE SOME CONCERN IN THE
(06:40):
ADDICTION RECOVERY COMMUNITY
THAT ANY KIND OF ROLLBACKS TO
MEDICAID AND THE EXPANSION OF
MEDICAID WOULD DIRECTLY IMPACT
THOSE RECOVERY EFFORTS AND GAINS
THAT HAVE BEEN MADE TO HELP
THOSE WHO ARE TO GET THE
TREATMENT THAT THEY NEED.
SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT.
>> THAT IS A FAIR QUESTION
BECAUSE YOU HEAR PEOPLE TALK
ABOUT MEDICAID.
WE'RE GOING TO SPEND MORE MONEY
(07:03):
ON MEDICAID THE BUDGET IS A
10-YEAR BUDGET.
WE'RE GOING TO SPEND MORE MONEY
EVERY YEAR THAN WE SPEND TODAY
EACH YEAR.
WHAT MEDICAID IS PROJECTED TO
GROW TOTAL $800 BILLION OVER THE
NEXT 10 YEARS.
IT'S ALMOST 700 BILLION PROGRAM
NOW.
800 BILLION MOREOVER ABOVE
(07:23):
INFLATION.
SO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS
HOW DO WE MANAGE THE GROWTH OF
MEDICAID.
I UNDERSTAND PEOPLE ARE
CONCERNED BUT STATES ARE USING
RECOVERY MONEY FOR RECOVERY NOW
AND WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
DOING IS CAPPING THE GROWTH.
AND SO IF THEY ARE DOING IT NOW
PEOPLE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO TURN
BACK ON PROGRAMS AND WE DON'T
EXPECT THEM TO.
(07:43):
BUT WE HAVE 1.8 TRILLION BUDGET
DEFICIT IT'S ALL IMPORTANT BUT
WE HAVE TO HAVE SAVINGS IN
HEALTHCARE WE ARE NOT GOING TO
BE ABLE TO --
IT'S GOING TO COLLAPSE
EVENTUALLY.
WE WANT TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM
THEN IT IS A DIFFERENT
CONVERSATION.
BUT WE BELIEVE STATES WILL HAVE
AMPLE MONEY TO DO WHAT THEY ARE
DOING NOW.
(08:04):
JUST TO CITE A REPORT
THAT CAME OUT RECENTLY RELEASED
BY DEMOCRATS, TO THE
CONGRESSIONAL JOINT ECONOMIC
COMMITTEE THEY WARNED THAT
MEDICAL TREATMENT FOR MORE THAN
A MILLION PEOPLE IN THE U.S. NOW
RECEIVING TREATMENT FOR OPIOID
ADDICTION INCLUDING FENTANYL
COULD BE AFFECTED AND COULD BE
AT RISK.
YOU SAY THERE'S NO WORRY?
>> THERE'S NOT WORRY.
YOU SAY, IF YOU SAY WE'RE GOING
(08:25):
TO ADDRESS A BUDGET DEFICIT YOU
CAN PICK ANYTHING AND IT WILL
CAUSE THIS PROBLEM.
WE UNDERSTAND WE'RE GOING TO ASK
STATES TO MANAGE THEIR MONEY AND
STATES WILL MAKE DECISIONS SO
THE IMPLICATION IS IF STATES ARE
LIMITED ON HOW MUCH THEIR
MEDICAID BUDGET CAN GROW WHAT
DEMOCRATS ARE SAYING IS STATE
(08:47):
GOVERNMENTS WILL START KICKING
PEOPLE OUT OF ASSISTED TREATMENT
PROGRAMS.
I DON'T BELIEVE OUR GENERAL
ASSEMBLY IN KENTUCKY WOULD DO
THAT.
RIGHT.
PTD THAT IS NOT AN APPROACH THAT
YOU WOULD ENDORSE?
>> NO, THE PROBLEM IS MEDICAID
IS A STATE PROGRAM RUN BY STATE
GOVERNMENT THAT MAKE DECISIONS
WHAT THEY SPEND THAT IS UP TO
THE STATES.
(09:07):
BUT FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PAYS FOR
A LARGE PART OF IT.
AND IN THE EXPANSION POPULATION
AFTER THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT
THE GOVERNMENT PAYS 90% OF IT.
IT'S BALLOONED AND GROWN AS
STROH NO, MA'AMICLY.
WE WANT TO GET A HANDLE ON THE
GROWTH.
IF STATES ARE SPENDING MONEY
(09:28):
TODAY ON THOSE PROGRAMS AND THEY
CAN LET THE PROGRAMS GROW AT
INFLATION, THEY CAN STILL RUN
THE PROGRAMS.
IF THEY WANT TO BE INEFFICIENT
OR SAY WELL IF YOU ARE GOING TO
HOLD US TO INFLATION WE WILL
TAKE THE MONEY AND SPEND IT
SOMEWHERE ELSE.
I HAVE MORE FAITH IN OUR STATE
GOVERNMENT THAN DEMOCRATS DO.
ACCORDING TO THE
(09:49):
D.E.A., THE FEDERAL DRUG
ENFORCEMENT AGENCY CHINA IS THE
PRIMARY SOURCE OF FEN THAT THAT
IS TRAFFICKED INTO THE U.S.
THE OPIOID IS THE LEADING CAUSE
OF OVERDOSE DEATHS BOTH IN THE
COUNTRY AND IN KENTUCKY.
TODAY MY COLLEAGUE "KENTUCKY
EDITION"'S LAURA ROGERS CAUGHT
UP WITH JAMES COMER OF
KENTUCKY'S FIRST CONGRESSIONAL
(10:09):
DISTRICT.
HE SAYS PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S
TARIFF POLICIES COULD FORCE
CHINA TO CRACKDOWN ON DRUGS.
>> WELL, I'VE HAD A PRIVATE
CONVERSATION WITH THE PRESIDENT.
I'M NOT A BIG FAN OF TARIFFS.
HOWEVER, WE'VE BEEN PUT IN A BAD
SITUATION IN THE UNITED STATES.
WE HAVE A HUGE TRADE DEFICIT IN
THE UNITED STATES.
(10:30):
NOW, THERE ARE SOME INDUSTRIES
THAT ARE WINNERS IN TRADE,
AGRICULTURE IS A OWE WINNER.
WE EXPORT MORE THAN WE IMPORT
THAT IS THE ONLY INDUSTRY THAT
CAN SAY THAT IN AMERICA.
BUT WHEN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT
AUTOMOTIVE MANUFACTURING WHEN
YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT
PHARMACEUTICALS, WHEN YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT SEMICONDUCTORS AND
THINGS WE NEED IN TECHNOLOGY, WE
(10:52):
DON'T MAKE HARDLY ANY OF THAT IN
THE UNITED STATES.
SO WHAT THE PRESIDENT IS TRYING
TO DO IS MULTIFACETED.
HE WANTS TO HAVE A LEVEL PLAYING
FIELD.
HE WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT OTHER
COUNTRIES AREN'T CHARGING US
TARIFFS AND WE WANT A LEVEL
PLAYING FIELD.
OTHER COUNTRIES DO NOT ABIDE BY
(11:13):
THE SAME LABOR LAWS AND
ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS WHICH WE DO
THAT PUTS OUR MANUFACTURERS AT A
DISADVANTAGE.
CHINA MANIPULATES CURRENCY WHICH
GIVES THEM AN UNFAIR TRADE
ADVANTAGE.
WHAT HE IS TRYING TO DO IS FIX
THAT.
ON TOP OF THAT, WE'RE HERE
TALKING ABOUT DRUGS.
HE IS TRYING TO MAKE IT HARDER
(11:33):
FOR CHINA.
BECAUSE CHINA PRODUCES THE
FENTANYL AND THEY SHIP IT TO
MEXICO.
IN CARGO SHIPS.
CHINA COULD CUT DOWN ON THAT.
THEY KNOW BRETT GUTHRIE TALKED
ABOUT THIS IN HIS COMMENTS SKHIN
A COMMUNIST COUNTRY THEY KNOW
WHAT IS BEING MADE IN EVERY
BUILDING IN THEIR COUNTRY.
THEY KNOW WHERE THE FENTANYL IS
(11:55):
COMING FROM.
YET THEY CONTINUE TO ALLOW IT TO
COME INTO OUR COUNTRY.
THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE.
THEY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNT AN
FOR IT.
MEXICO COULD DO A BETTER JOB
WITH THEIR MILITARY COMBATING
THE MEXICAN DRUG CARTEL.
PART OF THE REASON AND THE
RATIONAL BEHIND THE TARIFFS IN
MEXICO AND CHINA HAS TO DO WITH
(12:16):
DRUGS IN ADDITION TO UNFAIR
TRADE PRACTICES.
NOBODY LIKES THE TARIFF
SITUATION I DON'T LIKE WILL
BEING AT THE STOCK MARKET GOING
DOWN AND MY C.E.O.S TELLING ME
WE'RE NOT WE'RE GOING TO START
LAYING PEOPLE OFF BECAUSE OF THE
UNCERTAINTY.
AND AT THE SAME TIME, WE'VE
KICKED THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD FOR
TOO MANY YEARS ON ALLOWING THE
(12:37):
UNITED STATES TO OUTSOURCE
EVERYTHING.
I THINK IF CHINA CAN MAKE NIKE
TENNIS SHOES CHEAPER THAT IS
GOOD FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
HOWEVER I DON'T WANT CHINA
MAKING ANYTHING RELATED TO
PHARMACEUTICALS OR FOOD BECAUSE
THAT IS AN ISSUE OF OUR NATIONAL
SECURITY.
THERE ARE OTHER
(12:57):
KENTUCKIANS WHO PLAY A LEADING
ROLE IN THE RX SUMMIT AS
SPEAKER, MODERATORS AND
ADVISERS.
LAURA ROGERS CAUGHT UP WITH A
FREQUENT CONTRIBUTOR TO KET WHO
ADVOCACY EXTENDS TO THIS SPACE
AS WELL.
>> THE RX AND ILLICIT DRUG
(13:17):
SUMMIT TAKING PLACE OVER FOUR
DAYS HERE IN NASHVILLE MORE THAN
3,000 PEOPLE ARE PARTICIPATING
IN THIS SUMMIT ALL 50 STATES ARE
REPRESENTED AS WELL AS SEVERAL
OTHER COUNTRIES.
THERE ARE NUMEROUS WORKSHOPS,
SESSIONS AND NETWORKING EVENTS
ALL FOCUSED ON EDUCATION
SURROUNDING THE LATEST
STRATEGIES AND PREVENTION,
TREATMENT AND RECOVERY.
(13:38):
AND HOW THE COUNTRY IS COMING
TOGETHER TO COMBAT THIS OPIOID
CRISIS.
AND WE DID CATCH UP WITH SHERMAN
BROWN, HE IS A POLITICAL
COMMENTATOR THAT YOU OFTEN SEE
HERE ON KET HE IS MODERATING
SOME OF THE PANELS AND WE TALKED
TO HIM WHY THIS IS BOTH PERSONAL
AND PROFESSIONAL INTEREST FOR
HIM.
>> FIRST OF ALL I'M IN RECOVERY
(13:59):
MYSELF FOR ALCOHOL.
SECONDLY, PERSONALLY, LOST
FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS
THROUGH THIS PROCESS, THROUGH
THE EPIDEMIC.
IT IS A VERY TOUGH ROAD FOR
ANYBODY THAT IS INVOLVED.
FOR ME, IT'S SOMETHING THAT I
FEEL LIKE IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN
TOUCHED YET YOU ARE VERY LUCKY
BECAUSE IT'S COMING AND IT'S
(14:20):
GOING TO HIT YOUR FAMILY.
EVERYBODY WE TALK TO HAS BEEN
HIT VERY HARD WITH IT.
PROFESSIONALLY, IT IS SOMETHING
THAT I FIND REWARDING.
IT'S BIPARTISAN.
IT'S NONPARTISAN IN A LOT OF
WAYS BECAUSE PEOPLE JUMP IN AND
TRY TO IF THEY HAVE BEEN
AFFECTED, ESPECIALLY OR DO THE
WORK, WE SEE IT ON BOTH SIDES OF
THE AISLE IT IS NOT AN URBAN OR
(14:42):
RURAL THING AND YOU ARE SEEING
THAT HERE WITH THE SUMMIT IT'S
NOT JUST IN EVERY STATE IT'S
INTERNATIONAL.
WE HAVE PEOPLE HERE FROM ALL
OVER THE WORLD.
>> ON MONDAY, CONGRESSMAN HAL
ROGERS PRESENTED THE DIRECTOR OF
THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON DRUG
ABUSE WITH THE BEACON OF HOPE
AWARD RECOGNIZING HER FOR HER
(15:02):
ADVOCACY ON THIS ISSUE SHE IS
ONE OF SEVERAL HIGH PROFILE
GUESTS SCHEDULED TO BE AT THE RX
SUMMIT AND ATTORNEY GENERAL
PAMELA BONDI AND ROBERT F.
KENNEDY JR. ARE SCHEDULED TO
SPEAK.
KET IS HERE AND WE'LL CONTINUE
TO BRING YOU COVERAGE OF THE
INFORMATION SHARED HERE AT THE
SUMMIT.
REPORTING FOR "KENTUCKY EDITION"
(15:23):
FROM THE GAYLORD OPRYLAND RESORT
AND CONVENTION CENTER IN
NASHVILLE I'M LAURA ROGERS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH,
LAURA.
OUR TEAM HAS INTRODUCED PLANS
WITH OTHER OFFICIALS AS WELL AS
PEOPLE SHARING THEIR STORIES.
SO STAY TUNED.
[♪♪]
(15:47):
LOUISVILLE WILL BE
READY FOR DERBY ACTIVITIES AFTER
ITS WORST FLOODING SINCE 1997.
THAT WAS THE MESSAGE TODAY FROM
MAYOR CRAIG GREENBERG.
AS HE TALKED ABOUT LOUISVILLE'S
CLEAN UP PROGRESS FROM
WATERFRONT PARK.
>> WHAT A DIFFERENCE A WEEK
MAKES.
THERE'S STILL DEFINITELY WORK
(16:07):
AHEAD.
THERE'S TURF TO REPAIR.
THERE'S MULCH THAT NEEDS TO BE
IN PLACE.
MOTHER NATURE NEEDS A LITTLE BIT
MORE TIME FOR THE NORTH PART OF
THE GREAT LAWN HERE.
WE ALSO NEED TO GET POWER
RESTORED IN A COUPLE OF SMALL
AREAS.
BUT WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE EXTENT
OF THE DAMAGE THAT THIS PARK
THAT PARKS ALONG THE RIVER THAT
(16:28):
OUR ROADWAYS FACED JUST OVER A
WEEK AGO, IT IS AMAZING WHERE WE
ARE TODAY.
MAYOR GREENBERG SAYS
THE LAST TIME LOUISVILLE HAD A
FLOOD OF THIS MAGNITUDE IT TOOK
SIX WEEKS TO CLEAN UP.
HE SAYS LOUISVILLE DID THE SAME
AMOUNT OF CLEAN UP WORK IN ONE
(16:49):
WEEK.
MORE WORK COULD BE ON THE WAY TO
GEORGETOWN'S TOYOTA PLANT.
THE LEXINGTON HERALD-LEADER
POSTED A STORY FROM ROYSTER AND
REPORTS BECAUSE OF THE 25%
TARIFFS ON FOREIGN VEHICLES,
TOITD WOULD MOVE --
TOYOTA COULD MOVE THE RAV-4 TO
KENTUCKY IT IS A SPORT UTILITY
(17:11):
VEHICLE MADE IN GEORGETOWN,
CANADA AND JAPAN BY MOVING MORE
OF THE PRODUCTION TO GEORGETOWN
TOYOTA CAN AVOID THE TARIFF.
TOYOTA IS NOT COMMENTING ON THE
POSSIBLE MOVE WHICH WOULD TAKE
YEARS TO IMPLEMENT.
>>> SOME PEOPLE IN OLDHAM COUNTY
DON'T LIKE THE PLANNED LOCATION
OF A NEW DATA CENTER AND A
KENTUCKY SCHOOL GETS A
(17:32):
STATE-OF-THE-ART WELDING
FACILITY.
OUR TOBY GIBBS EXPLAINS IN THIS
LOOK AT HEADLINES AROUND
KENTUCKY.
>> A PROPOSED OC DATA CENTER HAS
STRONG OPPOSITION IN OLDHAM
COUNTY ACCORDING TO THE OLDHAM
(17:52):
ERA.
BECAUSE OF THAT OPPOSITION,
DEVELOPERS WANT TO HOLD A SERIES
OF MEETINGS TO ANSWER THE
PUBLIC'S QUESTIONS.
DEVELOPERS WANT TO PUT THE DATA
CENTER IN A RURAL AREA ALONG
HIGHWAY 53.
THE COUNTY JUDGE EXECUTIVE SAYS
IT WOULD BE BETTER IN AN
INDUSTRIAL AREA.
>>> THE PUBLIC IS URGED TO OFFER
(18:13):
FEEDBACK ON THE KENTUCKY
TRANSPORTATION CABINET'S REBUILD
MAYFIELD PLANS AN THE TORNADO.
THE CABINET REVEALED PLANS TO
REPLACE TWO-AND-A-HALF MILES OF
ROAD AS AN EFFORT TO RESTORE
DOWNTOWN.
THE WEST KENTUCKY STAR SAYS THE
CABINET HELD A PUBLIC MEETING
LAST THURSDAY AND ANOTHER IS
PLANNED FOR THE FALL.
(18:36):
>>> THE OHIO COUNTY MONITOR
REPORTS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
DECLARED BRECKINRIDGE COUNTY A
DISASTER AREA AFTER RAIN AND
HIGH WINDS FROM LAST SUMMER.
THE DISASTER DECLARATION ALLOWS
THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE TO
GIVE EMERGENCY LOANS TO FARMERS
AFFECTED BY THE WEATHER.
(18:59):
>>> BIG SANDY COMMUNITY AND
TECHNICAL COLLEGE OPENED A NEW
WELDING FACILITY.
THE LASERS SAYS THE FACILITY
OFFERS CUTTING END TRAINING
OPPORTUNITIES AND ACCESS TO
GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY.
THE SCHOOL SAYS STUDENTS
LEARNING AT THE FACILITY WILL BE
ABLE TO WORK FOR ANY COMPANY.
>>> WITH HEADLINES AROUND
(19:20):
KENTUCKY I'M TOBY GIBBS.
[♪♪]
HIGH SCHOOL AND
COLLEGE STUDENTS INTERESTED IN A
CAREER IN PUBLIC HEALTH GOT THE
OPPORTUNITY TO DISPLAY AND
DISCUSS THEIR RESEARCH AT A
SHOWCASE PUT ON BY THE
(19:41):
UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY.
THE SHOWCASE GIVES STUDENTS THE
CHANCE TO IMPROVE PUBLIC
SPEAKING AND NETWORKING SKILLS
AND DEVELOP THEIR RESEARCH.
>> PUBLIC HEALTH IS SO MUCH MORE
THAN JUST ONE THING IT'S
TEACHING, IT'S RESEARCH, IT'S
PRACTICE.
SO SHOWCASE WAS THE BEST WORD IN
TERMS OF SHOWING WHAT PUBLIC
HEALTH IS ACTUALLY DOING IN
(20:01):
REAL-LIFE AND THE LIVES OF OUR
STUDENTS AND IN THE LIVES OF
COMMUNITIES.
THE SHOWCASE WAS AN IDEA THAT
STUDENTS HAD COMING OUT OF
COVID.
THEY HAD BLANK RESUMES AND
WANTED AN OPPORTUNITY TO
PRACTICE TO TALK ABOUT PUBLIC
HEALTH.
ONE OF THE REASONS WE HAD THE
PROGRAM IS THEY WEREN'T
EXPERIENCED IN TALKING THINGS
THEY WERE PASSIONATE ABOUT.
(20:21):
GIVING THEM THIS FORUM IS A
GREAT PRACTICE OPPORTUNITY.
IT IS SCARY FOR EVERYONE TO COME
AND TALK ABOUT THE THINGS THAT
THEY ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT, THEIR
SCIENCE, RESEARCH AND THEIR
PRACTICE.
THIS IS REALLY A LOW KEY
ENVIRONMENT TO GIVE THEM THAT
OPPORTUNITY TO PRACTICE.
SO THAT WHEN THEY GO ON TO
COLLEGE AND OTHER PROGRAMS,
THEY'VE DONE IT BEFORE.
ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS IT'S NOT
(20:43):
JUST RESEARCH.
IT'S OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS
TO TALK ABOUT JUST AN IDEA.
IT'S NOT COMPLETED PROJECTS.
IT'S IDEAS THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE
AND HOW TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ON
A TOPIC LIKE OPIOID OVERDOSE
PREVENTION.
WE HAVE TALKING ABOUT PHOTO
VOICE IN DIFFERENT WAYS TO GET
THE COMMUNITY ENGAGED AND PUBLIC
HEALTH IS A TEAM BASED APPROACH.
(21:04):
IT REQUIRES COLLABORATION.
AND SO THIS NETWORKING OF PEOPLE
THE SHARING OF IDEAS IS REALLY
THE BEST PART.
>> THE RESEARCH AND THE
METHODOLOGY AND THE QUESTIONS
THAT YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO
ANSWER OR EXPLORE, THEY DON'T
JUST COME OUT OF A VACUUM.
IT IS THE PRODUCT OF A LOT OF
HANDS ON TIME BETWEEN OUR
STUDENTS, OUR FACULTY, OUR
(21:24):
STAFF, OUR COMMUNITY
PRACTITIONERS, EXPLORING WHAT
ARE THE REAL CONCERNS AND
CHALLENGES THAT PEOPLE ARE
DEALING WITH TODAY.
AND WHAT ARE THE FACTORS THAT
THE INFLUENCE THOSE CHALLENGES.
>> PUBLIC HEALTH IS SO BROAD HAD
THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE NARROW IN
THE WAY THEY THINK ABOUT HEALTH.
IT WILL COVER WHATEVER TOONICS
THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT.
PUBLIC HEALTH IS EVERYTHING FROM
THE TEMPERATURE ON YOUR CHICKEN
(21:45):
TO WHAT WE DO IN OUR COMMUNITIES
TO HAVE SAFE SIDEWALKS, TO
TRANSPORTATION PLANNING, TO WHAT
WE VACCINES AND EVEN HAND
WASHING THOSE ARE ALL PUBLIC
HEALTH PIECES.
>> GENERALLY PUBLIC HEALTH IS
NOT A PROFESSION THAT ATTRACTS
PEOPLE THAT ARE INTERESTED IN
BEING IN A HIGHLY COMPENSATED
ROLE.
YOU COME INTO THIS WORK BECAUSE
(22:07):
YOU ARE A SERVANT YOU WANT TO BE
ENGAGED WITH PEOPLE AND PROVIDE
SERVICE TO PEOPLE.
AGAIN, TO IMPROVE THEIR QUALITY
OF LIFE.
YOU STAY IN IT BECAUSE OF THE
SOLIDARITY THAT COMES WITH
OTHERS COMMITTED TO THE WORK.
>> I HOPE STUDENTS COME AWAY
WITH DEVELOPING THAT COMMUNITY,
DEVELOPING THAT NETWORK IS THE
MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR YOU TO
BE SUCCESSFUL.
(22:27):
YOU DON'T DO PUBLIC HEALTH
ALONE.
YOU DO PUBLIC HEALTH WITH
OTHERS.
BEING ABLE TO BE BRAVE AND PUT
YOURSELF OUT THERE AND MAKE
THOSE CONNECTIONS IS REALLY THE
START TO A REALLY GREAT CAREER
IN PUBLIC HEALTH.
CLOSE TO 100 STUDENTS
PARTICIPATED IN THIS YEAR'S
(22:47):
SHOWCASE.
[♪♪]
SOMETIMES JUDGE PEOPLE CAN MAKE
POOR FINANCIAL DECISIONS.
FOUNDATION 47 A LITERACY
(23:08):
EDUCATION COMPANY AND THE
FOUNDATION FOR ECONOMIC
EDUCATION ARE HOPING TO CHANGE
THAT WITH A FINANCIAL LITERACY
WORKSHOP COMING TO LEXINGTON
THIS SATURDAY.
DETAILS IN TONIGHT'S EDUCATION
MATTERS REPORT.
>> IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR
TEENS TO LEARN THIS EARLY ON I
REFLECT BACK TO MY TEENAGE YEARS
(23:29):
AND I WAS NEVER TAUGHT NONE OF
THESE THINGS WHEN I GRADUATED
HIGH SCHOOL I GOT OUT AND MADE
FINANCIAL MISTAKES.
I FEEL LIKE IF I HAD EVEN BEEN
EXPOSED TO SOME OF THE FINANCIAL
LITERACY CONCEPTS I WOULD HAVE
BEEN BETTER EQUIPPED TO THE
SOLUTIONS THE ISSUES I WAS GOING
TO WALK INTO.
(23:49):
WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT THE
KIDS ABOUT EVERYTHING HIGH
SCHOOL STUDENTS ABOUT EVERYTHING
THEY NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MONEY
BEFORE THE AGE OF 20.
BUDGETING, CREDIT, AND ALSO
MINDSET BUT ALSO WHAT I LIKE A
LOT ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP IS THAT
IT WILL TALK ABOUT FINANCIAL
PLANNING AND CAREER PLANNING.
BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES SOME OF
THE INDIVIDUALS GET IN TROUBLE
(24:11):
BECAUSE THE JOB THEY HAVE
DOESN'T SUPPORT THE LIFESTYLE
THEY WANT TO LIVE.
EQUIPPING YOU WITH THE PROPER
SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE AND KNOW HOW
TO MAKE THE RIGHT FINANCIAL
DECISIONS, THE PROCESS OF BUYING
A HOME, THE PROCESS OF BUYING A
CAR, BUDGETING, BEING ABLE TO
UNDERSTAND WHEN TO TAKE ON DEBT
AND WHEN TO NOT TAKE ON DEBT.
(24:33):
GIVING THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO
UNDERSTAND THE CHOICES YOU MAKE
IN REGARDS TO YOUR PERSONAL
FINANCES CAN AFFECT YOU LATER ON
IN LIFE.
ONE OF THE REASONS I'M PUTTING
ON THE EVENT PEOPLE WERE ASKING
ME WHEN I WAS GOING TO HAVE AN
EVENT THE COMMUNITY IS EXCITED
ABOUT IT.
I HOPE WE DO IT ON A REGULAR
BASIS I BELIEVE THAT THE
COMMUNITY WOULD BENEFIT FROM IT.
(24:53):
AND ALSO WHEN KIDS ARE
INDIVIDUALS FINANCIALLY FIT, IT
ALSO ADDS AN ASPECT OF
IMPROVEMENT TO OUR ECONOMY AS
WELL.
IF YOU HAVE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE
FINANCIAL SAVVY AND MAKING THE
RIGHT DECISIONS WITH THEIR MONEY
THERE ARE A LOT OF INDIVIDUALS
WHO HAVE SMALL BUSINESS IDEALS
BUT THEY DON'T HAVE THE FUNDING
TO SAY START THOSE BUSINESSES.
(25:15):
IF THEY BECOME FINANCIALLY SAVVY
IT INCREASES THE CREDIT SCORE
AND BUSINESS ACUMEN AND WILL
HELP THEM TO BE ABLE TO GET MORE
FUNDING IN A MORE EASY WAY.
ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS THAT I
TELL PEOPLE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT
BUILDING GENERATIONAL WEALTH FOR
OURSELVES AND OUR FAMILIES AFTER
TODAY IT WILL BE THE START OF
(25:35):
INDIVIDUALS BEING ABLE TO HELP
TRIPLE BOTTOM WHAT I CALL THE
TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE.
IT MEANS THEIR SELF THEIR FAMILY
AND COMMUNITY.
AND ONE OF THE THINGS I'M
EXCITED ABOUT IS THE INFORMATION
THAT WILL BE DISSEMINATED TO THE
INDIVIDUALS ABOUT STOCKS AND
BONDS IN THE TIME VALUE OF
MONEY.
IF WE CAN GET THE INDIVIDUALS TO
(25:56):
UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF
STARTING TO INVEST MONEY EARLY,
AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE A LOT
OF US AT THAT AGE WE THINK
RETIREMENT IS SO FAR OFF I HAVE
PLENTY OF TIME FOR THAT
INVESTING EARLY AND
UNDERSTANDING THE TIME VALUE OF
MONEY AND THE DIFFERENCE THREE
OR FOUR YEARS CAN MAKE ON YOUR
PORTFOLIO IS ASTRONOMICAL.
(26:20):
THE FINANCIAL LITERACY
EVENT IS THIS SATURDAY FROM
10:00 A.M.-12:00 P.M. AT MEMBERS
HERITAGE CREDIT UNION IN
LEXINGTON.

PRESCRIPTION AND ILLICIT DRUG
SUMMIT THE NATION'S LARGEST
COLLABORATION OF STAKEHOLDERS
(01:23):
DEDICATED TO COMBATING DRUG
ADDICTION.
NOW IN ITS 14TH YEAR THE
CONFERENCE DRAWS THOUSANDS FROM
ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT,
RECOVERY AND TREATMENT
PROVIDERS, LAW ENFORCEMENT AND
FAMILIES OF INDIVIDUALS
INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE
ABOUT BATTLING ADDICTION FROM
PREVENTION TO INTERVENTIONS AND
TREATMENT MODELS.
CONGRESSMAN HAL ROGERS OF
(01:44):
KENTUCKY'S FIFTH CONGRESS AT
DISTRICT LAUNCHED THE SUMMIT
BORN FROM A PROGRAM HE STARTED
CALLED OPERATION UNITE THAT USES
AN APPROACH TO BATTLING
SUBSTANCE ABUSE.
NARCOTICS INVESTIGATIONS,
TREATMENT AND EDUCATION.
THIS MORNING I HAD THE CHANCE TO
SIT DOWN WITH CONGRESSMAN ROGERS
HERE IN NASHVILLE TO GET HIS
(02:05):
1240E9S HOW THE CONFERENCE
CHANGED OVER THE YEARS.
CONGRESSMAN HAL ROGERS IT IS A
PLEASURE TO SIT DOWN WITH YOU
AND TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE
SUCCESS 14 YEARS OF THIS SUMMIT.
DID YOU EVER THINK IT WOULD BE
THE SIZE, THE ATTENDANCE AND THE
QUALITY CONVERSATIONS THAT
YOU'RE HAVING LIKE WE'RE SEEING
NOW?
>> NO.
(02:26):
I DID NOT ANTICIPATE THE
EXPLOSION THE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE.
BUT WHEN YOU CONSIDER WHO THESE
PEOPLE ARE, THEY ARE MOTIVATED
BY LOVE OF A FAMILY MEMBER WHO
DIED FROM AN OVERDOSE PERHAPS.
A CHILD, A PARENT, WE'VE SEEN SO
(02:47):
MUCH SUFFERING.
IN FACT, IN ONE OF MY SURVEYS,
WE FOUND THAT OVER HALF OF KIDS
ARE LIVING WITH A GRANDPARENT OR
A PERSON OTHER THAN THEIR
BIOLOGICAL PARENTS.
WHICH TELLS YOU THAT WE'VE GOT A
(03:08):
REAL PROBLEM.
THAT IS SOMETHING,
RIGHT, THAT GRANDPARENTS ARE
RAISING THEIR GRANDCHILDREN AND
LARGE MEASURE DUE TO THIS.
I DO WANT TO TALK ABOUT GOOD
NEWS ANNOUNCED ON THE FIRST DAY
OF THE CONFERENCE ABOUT THE
C.D.C. LATEST REPORT AND I WON'T
BLOW THE LEAD AND LET YOU TAKE
IT WHAT WAS THE GOOD NEWS THAT
YOU LEARNED?
>> THIS WAS GOOD NEWS FROM
(03:32):
SOURCES, TO THESE PEOPLE AT THIS
CONVENTION AND AROUND THE WORLD.
IN THE 24 NUMBERS, WE DECREASED
THE NUMBER OF DEATHS OVERDOSES
BY 30%.
(03:54):
SO THAT SAYS TO ME, KEEP UP THE
GOOD WORK THAT YOU ARE ON THE
RIGHT PATH.
AND I THINK WE ARE.
WE'RE SEEING PEOPLE COME HERE
THAT'S NEVER BEEN TO SOMETHING
LIKE THIS BEFORE.
AND THEY ARE ENTHUSIASTIC.
AND THE SESSION WE JUST ENDED
(04:15):
THEY WERE CHEERING VARIOUS
MEMBERS OF THE CONGRESS THAT
WERE HERE.
SO THERE'S ENTHUSIASM, THERE'S
LOVE OF LIFE AND THERE ARE
PEOPLE READY TO GO TO WORK.
DO YOU KNOW TO WHAT
THAT IS ATTRIBUTABLE?
DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THAT
(04:36):
DECLINE?
AND HOW DO YOU SUSTAIN THAT AND
ACCELERATE THAT?
>> WELL, I THINK THERE'S A GREAT
NUMBER OF REASONS WHY IT TOOK
PLACE.
ONE, I LIKE TO THINK THAT THIS
SUMMIT THAT WE'VE NOW HELD 14
STRAIGHT YEARS, GIVES PEOPLE THE
(04:56):
CONFIDENCE TO TAKE THE NEXT
STEP.
SO I THINK THIS WILLING WORKER
SIGN UP PLACE THAT WE HAVE HERE
HELPS.
WITH THE HOLISTIC APPROACH.
UNITED NARCOTICS INVESTIGATIONS,
(05:17):
TREATMENT AND EDUCATION.
SO AND OF COURSE THE BORDER.
I THINK THE BETTER SECURING OF
THE BORDER IS KEEPING A LOT OF
MEDICINE OUT OF HERE THANK GOD.
(05:37):
BUT DEDICATED WORKERS AND PEOPLE
LIKE YOURSELF WITH THE MEDIA
THAT BROADCASTS GOOD NEWS EVEN
BAD NEWS.
SO THANKS.
THANK YOU, SIR.
THANK YOU.
(05:58):
WE ALSO CAUGHT UP WITH ANOTHER
MEMBER OF KENTUCKY'S FEDERAL
DELEGATION THIS MORNING IN
NASHVILLE CONGRESSMAN BRETT
GUTHRIE REPRESENTS KENTUCKY'S
SECOND DISTRICT HE IS CHAIRMAN
OF THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON ENERGY
AND COMMERCE THAT IS TASKED WITH
MAKING 880 BILLION DOLLARS IN
FEDERAL SPENDING KUTDS FROM THE
PROGRAMS UNDER ITS JURISDICTION
(06:20):
WHICH INCLUDE THE MEDICAID THAT
SERVES LOW INCOME AMERICANS.
HERE IS WHAT HE HAD TO SAY ABOUT
THAT.
>> WE KNOW THERE ARE LOTS OF
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT FEDERAL
SPENDING RIGHT NOW AND WHETHER
OR NOT MEDICAID COULD BE ROLLED
BACK AND DIALED BACK AND THERE
ARE SOME CONCERN IN THE
(06:40):
ADDICTION RECOVERY COMMUNITY
THAT ANY KIND OF ROLLBACKS TO
MEDICAID AND THE EXPANSION OF
MEDICAID WOULD DIRECTLY IMPACT
THOSE RECOVERY EFFORTS AND GAINS
THAT HAVE BEEN MADE TO HELP
THOSE WHO ARE TO GET THE
TREATMENT THAT THEY NEED.
SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT.
>> THAT IS A FAIR QUESTION
BECAUSE YOU HEAR PEOPLE TALK
ABOUT MEDICAID.
WE'RE GOING TO SPEND MORE MONEY
(07:03):
ON MEDICAID THE BUDGET IS A
10-YEAR BUDGET.
WE'RE GOING TO SPEND MORE MONEY
EVERY YEAR THAN WE SPEND TODAY
EACH YEAR.
WHAT MEDICAID IS PROJECTED TO
GROW TOTAL $800 BILLION OVER THE
NEXT 10 YEARS.
IT'S ALMOST 700 BILLION PROGRAM
NOW.
800 BILLION MOREOVER ABOVE
(07:23):
INFLATION.
SO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS
HOW DO WE MANAGE THE GROWTH OF
MEDICAID.
I UNDERSTAND PEOPLE ARE
CONCERNED BUT STATES ARE USING
RECOVERY MONEY FOR RECOVERY NOW
AND WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
DOING IS CAPPING THE GROWTH.
AND SO IF THEY ARE DOING IT NOW
PEOPLE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO TURN
BACK ON PROGRAMS AND WE DON'T
EXPECT THEM TO.
(07:43):
BUT WE HAVE 1.8 TRILLION BUDGET
DEFICIT IT'S ALL IMPORTANT BUT
WE HAVE TO HAVE SAVINGS IN
HEALTHCARE WE ARE NOT GOING TO
BE ABLE TO --
IT'S GOING TO COLLAPSE
EVENTUALLY.
WE WANT TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM
THEN IT IS A DIFFERENT
CONVERSATION.
BUT WE BELIEVE STATES WILL HAVE
AMPLE MONEY TO DO WHAT THEY ARE
DOING NOW.
(08:04):
JUST TO CITE A REPORT
THAT CAME OUT RECENTLY RELEASED
BY DEMOCRATS, TO THE
CONGRESSIONAL JOINT ECONOMIC
COMMITTEE THEY WARNED THAT
MEDICAL TREATMENT FOR MORE THAN
A MILLION PEOPLE IN THE U.S. NOW
RECEIVING TREATMENT FOR OPIOID
ADDICTION INCLUDING FENTANYL
COULD BE AFFECTED AND COULD BE
AT RISK.
YOU SAY THERE'S NO WORRY?
>> THERE'S NOT WORRY.
YOU SAY, IF YOU SAY WE'RE GOING
(08:25):
TO ADDRESS A BUDGET DEFICIT YOU
CAN PICK ANYTHING AND IT WILL
CAUSE THIS PROBLEM.
WE UNDERSTAND WE'RE GOING TO ASK
STATES TO MANAGE THEIR MONEY AND
STATES WILL MAKE DECISIONS SO
THE IMPLICATION IS IF STATES ARE
LIMITED ON HOW MUCH THEIR
MEDICAID BUDGET CAN GROW WHAT
DEMOCRATS ARE SAYING IS STATE
(08:47):
GOVERNMENTS WILL START KICKING
PEOPLE OUT OF ASSISTED TREATMENT
PROGRAMS.
I DON'T BELIEVE OUR GENERAL
ASSEMBLY IN KENTUCKY WOULD DO
THAT.
RIGHT.
PTD THAT IS NOT AN APPROACH THAT
YOU WOULD ENDORSE?
>> NO, THE PROBLEM IS MEDICAID
IS A STATE PROGRAM RUN BY STATE
GOVERNMENT THAT MAKE DECISIONS
WHAT THEY SPEND THAT IS UP TO
THE STATES.
(09:07):
BUT FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PAYS FOR
A LARGE PART OF IT.
AND IN THE EXPANSION POPULATION
AFTER THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT
THE GOVERNMENT PAYS 90% OF IT.
IT'S BALLOONED AND GROWN AS
STROH NO, MA'AMICLY.
WE WANT TO GET A HANDLE ON THE
GROWTH.
IF STATES ARE SPENDING MONEY
(09:28):
TODAY ON THOSE PROGRAMS AND THEY
CAN LET THE PROGRAMS GROW AT
INFLATION, THEY CAN STILL RUN
THE PROGRAMS.
IF THEY WANT TO BE INEFFICIENT
OR SAY WELL IF YOU ARE GOING TO
HOLD US TO INFLATION WE WILL
TAKE THE MONEY AND SPEND IT
SOMEWHERE ELSE.
I HAVE MORE FAITH IN OUR STATE
GOVERNMENT THAN DEMOCRATS DO.
ACCORDING TO THE
(09:49):
D.E.A., THE FEDERAL DRUG
ENFORCEMENT AGENCY CHINA IS THE
PRIMARY SOURCE OF FEN THAT THAT
IS TRAFFICKED INTO THE U.S.
THE OPIOID IS THE LEADING CAUSE
OF OVERDOSE DEATHS BOTH IN THE
COUNTRY AND IN KENTUCKY.
TODAY MY COLLEAGUE "KENTUCKY
EDITION"'S LAURA ROGERS CAUGHT
UP WITH JAMES COMER OF
KENTUCKY'S FIRST CONGRESSIONAL
(10:09):
DISTRICT.
HE SAYS PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S
TARIFF POLICIES COULD FORCE
CHINA TO CRACKDOWN ON DRUGS.
>> WELL, I'VE HAD A PRIVATE
CONVERSATION WITH THE PRESIDENT.
I'M NOT A BIG FAN OF TARIFFS.
HOWEVER, WE'VE BEEN PUT IN A BAD
SITUATION IN THE UNITED STATES.
WE HAVE A HUGE TRADE DEFICIT IN
THE UNITED STATES.
(10:30):
NOW, THERE ARE SOME INDUSTRIES
THAT ARE WINNERS IN TRADE,
AGRICULTURE IS A OWE WINNER.
WE EXPORT MORE THAN WE IMPORT
THAT IS THE ONLY INDUSTRY THAT
CAN SAY THAT IN AMERICA.
BUT WHEN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT
AUTOMOTIVE MANUFACTURING WHEN
YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT
PHARMACEUTICALS, WHEN YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT SEMICONDUCTORS AND
THINGS WE NEED IN TECHNOLOGY, WE
(10:52):
DON'T MAKE HARDLY ANY OF THAT IN
THE UNITED STATES.
SO WHAT THE PRESIDENT IS TRYING
TO DO IS MULTIFACETED.
HE WANTS TO HAVE A LEVEL PLAYING
FIELD.
HE WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT OTHER
COUNTRIES AREN'T CHARGING US
TARIFFS AND WE WANT A LEVEL
PLAYING FIELD.
OTHER COUNTRIES DO NOT ABIDE BY
(11:13):
THE SAME LABOR LAWS AND
ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS WHICH WE DO
THAT PUTS OUR MANUFACTURERS AT A
DISADVANTAGE.
CHINA MANIPULATES CURRENCY WHICH
GIVES THEM AN UNFAIR TRADE
ADVANTAGE.
WHAT HE IS TRYING TO DO IS FIX
THAT.
ON TOP OF THAT, WE'RE HERE
TALKING ABOUT DRUGS.
HE IS TRYING TO MAKE IT HARDER
(11:33):
FOR CHINA.
BECAUSE CHINA PRODUCES THE
FENTANYL AND THEY SHIP IT TO
MEXICO.
IN CARGO SHIPS.
CHINA COULD CUT DOWN ON THAT.
THEY KNOW BRETT GUTHRIE TALKED
ABOUT THIS IN HIS COMMENTS SKHIN
A COMMUNIST COUNTRY THEY KNOW
WHAT IS BEING MADE IN EVERY
BUILDING IN THEIR COUNTRY.
THEY KNOW WHERE THE FENTANYL IS
(11:55):
COMING FROM.
YET THEY CONTINUE TO ALLOW IT TO
COME INTO OUR COUNTRY.
THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE.
THEY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNT AN
FOR IT.
MEXICO COULD DO A BETTER JOB
WITH THEIR MILITARY COMBATING
THE MEXICAN DRUG CARTEL.
PART OF THE REASON AND THE
RATIONAL BEHIND THE TARIFFS IN
MEXICO AND CHINA HAS TO DO WITH
(12:16):
DRUGS IN ADDITION TO UNFAIR
TRADE PRACTICES.
NOBODY LIKES THE TARIFF
SITUATION I DON'T LIKE WILL
BEING AT THE STOCK MARKET GOING
DOWN AND MY C.E.O.S TELLING ME
WE'RE NOT WE'RE GOING TO START
LAYING PEOPLE OFF BECAUSE OF THE
UNCERTAINTY.
AND AT THE SAME TIME, WE'VE
KICKED THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD FOR
TOO MANY YEARS ON ALLOWING THE
(12:37):
UNITED STATES TO OUTSOURCE
EVERYTHING.
I THINK IF CHINA CAN MAKE NIKE
TENNIS SHOES CHEAPER THAT IS
GOOD FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
HOWEVER I DON'T WANT CHINA
MAKING ANYTHING RELATED TO
PHARMACEUTICALS OR FOOD BECAUSE
THAT IS AN ISSUE OF OUR NATIONAL
SECURITY.
THERE ARE OTHER
(12:57):
KENTUCKIANS WHO PLAY A LEADING
ROLE IN THE RX SUMMIT AS
SPEAKER, MODERATORS AND
ADVISERS.
LAURA ROGERS CAUGHT UP WITH A
FREQUENT CONTRIBUTOR TO KET WHO
ADVOCACY EXTENDS TO THIS SPACE
AS WELL.
>> THE RX AND ILLICIT DRUG
(13:17):
SUMMIT TAKING PLACE OVER FOUR
DAYS HERE IN NASHVILLE MORE THAN
3,000 PEOPLE ARE PARTICIPATING
IN THIS SUMMIT ALL 50 STATES ARE
REPRESENTED AS WELL AS SEVERAL
OTHER COUNTRIES.
THERE ARE NUMEROUS WORKSHOPS,
SESSIONS AND NETWORKING EVENTS
ALL FOCUSED ON EDUCATION
SURROUNDING THE LATEST
STRATEGIES AND PREVENTION,
TREATMENT AND RECOVERY.
(13:38):
AND HOW THE COUNTRY IS COMING
TOGETHER TO COMBAT THIS OPIOID
CRISIS.
AND WE DID CATCH UP WITH SHERMAN
BROWN, HE IS A POLITICAL
COMMENTATOR THAT YOU OFTEN SEE
HERE ON KET HE IS MODERATING
SOME OF THE PANELS AND WE TALKED
TO HIM WHY THIS IS BOTH PERSONAL
AND PROFESSIONAL INTEREST FOR
HIM.
>> FIRST OF ALL I'M IN RECOVERY
(13:59):
MYSELF FOR ALCOHOL.
SECONDLY, PERSONALLY, LOST
FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS
THROUGH THIS PROCESS, THROUGH
THE EPIDEMIC.
IT IS A VERY TOUGH ROAD FOR
ANYBODY THAT IS INVOLVED.
FOR ME, IT'S SOMETHING THAT I
FEEL LIKE IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN
TOUCHED YET YOU ARE VERY LUCKY
BECAUSE IT'S COMING AND IT'S
(14:20):
GOING TO HIT YOUR FAMILY.
EVERYBODY WE TALK TO HAS BEEN
HIT VERY HARD WITH IT.
PROFESSIONALLY, IT IS SOMETHING
THAT I FIND REWARDING.
IT'S BIPARTISAN.
IT'S NONPARTISAN IN A LOT OF
WAYS BECAUSE PEOPLE JUMP IN AND
TRY TO IF THEY HAVE BEEN
AFFECTED, ESPECIALLY OR DO THE
WORK, WE SEE IT ON BOTH SIDES OF
THE AISLE IT IS NOT AN URBAN OR
(14:42):
RURAL THING AND YOU ARE SEEING
THAT HERE WITH THE SUMMIT IT'S
NOT JUST IN EVERY STATE IT'S
INTERNATIONAL.
WE HAVE PEOPLE HERE FROM ALL
OVER THE WORLD.
>> ON MONDAY, CONGRESSMAN HAL
ROGERS PRESENTED THE DIRECTOR OF
THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON DRUG
ABUSE WITH THE BEACON OF HOPE
AWARD RECOGNIZING HER FOR HER
(15:02):
ADVOCACY ON THIS ISSUE SHE IS
ONE OF SEVERAL HIGH PROFILE
GUESTS SCHEDULED TO BE AT THE RX
SUMMIT AND ATTORNEY GENERAL
PAMELA BONDI AND ROBERT F.
KENNEDY JR. ARE SCHEDULED TO
SPEAK.
KET IS HERE AND WE'LL CONTINUE
TO BRING YOU COVERAGE OF THE
INFORMATION SHARED HERE AT THE
SUMMIT.
REPORTING FOR "KENTUCKY EDITION"
(15:23):
FROM THE GAYLORD OPRYLAND RESORT
AND CONVENTION CENTER IN
NASHVILLE I'M LAURA ROGERS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH,
LAURA.
OUR TEAM HAS INTRODUCED PLANS
WITH OTHER OFFICIALS AS WELL AS
PEOPLE SHARING THEIR STORIES.
SO STAY TUNED.
[♪♪]
(15:47):
LOUISVILLE WILL BE
READY FOR DERBY ACTIVITIES AFTER
ITS WORST FLOODING SINCE 1997.
THAT WAS THE MESSAGE TODAY FROM
MAYOR CRAIG GREENBERG.
AS HE TALKED ABOUT LOUISVILLE'S
CLEAN UP PROGRESS FROM
WATERFRONT PARK.
>> WHAT A DIFFERENCE A WEEK
MAKES.
THERE'S STILL DEFINITELY WORK
(16:07):
AHEAD.
THERE'S TURF TO REPAIR.
THERE'S MULCH THAT NEEDS TO BE
IN PLACE.
MOTHER NATURE NEEDS A LITTLE BIT
MORE TIME FOR THE NORTH PART OF
THE GREAT LAWN HERE.
WE ALSO NEED TO GET POWER
RESTORED IN A COUPLE OF SMALL
AREAS.
BUT WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE EXTENT
OF THE DAMAGE THAT THIS PARK
THAT PARKS ALONG THE RIVER THAT
(16:28):
OUR ROADWAYS FACED JUST OVER A
WEEK AGO, IT IS AMAZING WHERE WE
ARE TODAY.
MAYOR GREENBERG SAYS
THE LAST TIME LOUISVILLE HAD A
FLOOD OF THIS MAGNITUDE IT TOOK
SIX WEEKS TO CLEAN UP.
HE SAYS LOUISVILLE DID THE SAME
AMOUNT OF CLEAN UP WORK IN ONE
(16:49):
WEEK.
MORE WORK COULD BE ON THE WAY TO
GEORGETOWN'S TOYOTA PLANT.
THE LEXINGTON HERALD-LEADER
POSTED A STORY FROM ROYSTER AND
REPORTS BECAUSE OF THE 25%
TARIFFS ON FOREIGN VEHICLES,
TOITD WOULD MOVE --
TOYOTA COULD MOVE THE RAV-4 TO
KENTUCKY IT IS A SPORT UTILITY
(17:11):
VEHICLE MADE IN GEORGETOWN,
CANADA AND JAPAN BY MOVING MORE
OF THE PRODUCTION TO GEORGETOWN
TOYOTA CAN AVOID THE TARIFF.
TOYOTA IS NOT COMMENTING ON THE
POSSIBLE MOVE WHICH WOULD TAKE
YEARS TO IMPLEMENT.
>>> SOME PEOPLE IN OLDHAM COUNTY
DON'T LIKE THE PLANNED LOCATION
OF A NEW DATA CENTER AND A
KENTUCKY SCHOOL GETS A
(17:32):
STATE-OF-THE-ART WELDING
FACILITY.
OUR TOBY GIBBS EXPLAINS IN THIS
LOOK AT HEADLINES AROUND
KENTUCKY.
>> A PROPOSED OC DATA CENTER HAS
STRONG OPPOSITION IN OLDHAM
COUNTY ACCORDING TO THE OLDHAM
(17:52):
ERA.
BECAUSE OF THAT OPPOSITION,
DEVELOPERS WANT TO HOLD A SERIES
OF MEETINGS TO ANSWER THE
PUBLIC'S QUESTIONS.
DEVELOPERS WANT TO PUT THE DATA
CENTER IN A RURAL AREA ALONG
HIGHWAY 53.
THE COUNTY JUDGE EXECUTIVE SAYS
IT WOULD BE BETTER IN AN
INDUSTRIAL AREA.
>>> THE PUBLIC IS URGED TO OFFER
(18:13):
FEEDBACK ON THE KENTUCKY
TRANSPORTATION CABINET'S REBUILD
MAYFIELD PLANS AN THE TORNADO.
THE CABINET REVEALED PLANS TO
REPLACE TWO-AND-A-HALF MILES OF
ROAD AS AN EFFORT TO RESTORE
DOWNTOWN.
THE WEST KENTUCKY STAR SAYS THE
CABINET HELD A PUBLIC MEETING
LAST THURSDAY AND ANOTHER IS
PLANNED FOR THE FALL.
(18:36):
>>> THE OHIO COUNTY MONITOR
REPORTS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
DECLARED BRECKINRIDGE COUNTY A
DISASTER AREA AFTER RAIN AND
HIGH WINDS FROM LAST SUMMER.
THE DISASTER DECLARATION ALLOWS
THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE TO
GIVE EMERGENCY LOANS TO FARMERS
AFFECTED BY THE WEATHER.
(18:59):
>>> BIG SANDY COMMUNITY AND
TECHNICAL COLLEGE OPENED A NEW
WELDING FACILITY.
THE LASERS SAYS THE FACILITY
OFFERS CUTTING END TRAINING
OPPORTUNITIES AND ACCESS TO
GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY.
THE SCHOOL SAYS STUDENTS
LEARNING AT THE FACILITY WILL BE
ABLE TO WORK FOR ANY COMPANY.
>>> WITH HEADLINES AROUND
(19:20):
KENTUCKY I'M TOBY GIBBS.
[♪♪]
HIGH SCHOOL AND
COLLEGE STUDENTS INTERESTED IN A
CAREER IN PUBLIC HEALTH GOT THE
OPPORTUNITY TO DISPLAY AND
DISCUSS THEIR RESEARCH AT A
SHOWCASE PUT ON BY THE
(19:41):
UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY.
THE SHOWCASE GIVES STUDENTS THE
CHANCE TO IMPROVE PUBLIC
SPEAKING AND NETWORKING SKILLS
AND DEVELOP THEIR RESEARCH.
>> PUBLIC HEALTH IS SO MUCH MORE
THAN JUST ONE THING IT'S
TEACHING, IT'S RESEARCH, IT'S
PRACTICE.
SO SHOWCASE WAS THE BEST WORD IN
TERMS OF SHOWING WHAT PUBLIC
HEALTH IS ACTUALLY DOING IN
(20:01):
REAL-LIFE AND THE LIVES OF OUR
STUDENTS AND IN THE LIVES OF
COMMUNITIES.
THE SHOWCASE WAS AN IDEA THAT
STUDENTS HAD COMING OUT OF
COVID.
THEY HAD BLANK RESUMES AND
WANTED AN OPPORTUNITY TO
PRACTICE TO TALK ABOUT PUBLIC
HEALTH.
ONE OF THE REASONS WE HAD THE
PROGRAM IS THEY WEREN'T
EXPERIENCED IN TALKING THINGS
THEY WERE PASSIONATE ABOUT.
(20:21):
GIVING THEM THIS FORUM IS A
GREAT PRACTICE OPPORTUNITY.
IT IS SCARY FOR EVERYONE TO COME
AND TALK ABOUT THE THINGS THAT
THEY ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT, THEIR
SCIENCE, RESEARCH AND THEIR
PRACTICE.
THIS IS REALLY A LOW KEY
ENVIRONMENT TO GIVE THEM THAT
OPPORTUNITY TO PRACTICE.
SO THAT WHEN THEY GO ON TO
COLLEGE AND OTHER PROGRAMS,
THEY'VE DONE IT BEFORE.
ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS IT'S NOT
(20:43):
JUST RESEARCH.
IT'S OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS
TO TALK ABOUT JUST AN IDEA.
IT'S NOT COMPLETED PROJECTS.
IT'S IDEAS THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE
AND HOW TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ON
A TOPIC LIKE OPIOID OVERDOSE
PREVENTION.
WE HAVE TALKING ABOUT PHOTO
VOICE IN DIFFERENT WAYS TO GET
THE COMMUNITY ENGAGED AND PUBLIC
HEALTH IS A TEAM BASED APPROACH.
(21:04):
IT REQUIRES COLLABORATION.
AND SO THIS NETWORKING OF PEOPLE
THE SHARING OF IDEAS IS REALLY
THE BEST PART.
>> THE RESEARCH AND THE
METHODOLOGY AND THE QUESTIONS
THAT YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO
ANSWER OR EXPLORE, THEY DON'T
JUST COME OUT OF A VACUUM.
IT IS THE PRODUCT OF A LOT OF
HANDS ON TIME BETWEEN OUR
STUDENTS, OUR FACULTY, OUR
(21:24):
STAFF, OUR COMMUNITY
PRACTITIONERS, EXPLORING WHAT
ARE THE REAL CONCERNS AND
CHALLENGES THAT PEOPLE ARE
DEALING WITH TODAY.
AND WHAT ARE THE FACTORS THAT
THE INFLUENCE THOSE CHALLENGES.
>> PUBLIC HEALTH IS SO BROAD HAD
THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE NARROW IN
THE WAY THEY THINK ABOUT HEALTH.
IT WILL COVER WHATEVER TOONICS
THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT.
PUBLIC HEALTH IS EVERYTHING FROM
THE TEMPERATURE ON YOUR CHICKEN
(21:45):
TO WHAT WE DO IN OUR COMMUNITIES
TO HAVE SAFE SIDEWALKS, TO
TRANSPORTATION PLANNING, TO WHAT
WE VACCINES AND EVEN HAND
WASHING THOSE ARE ALL PUBLIC
HEALTH PIECES.
>> GENERALLY PUBLIC HEALTH IS
NOT A PROFESSION THAT ATTRACTS
PEOPLE THAT ARE INTERESTED IN
BEING IN A HIGHLY COMPENSATED
ROLE.
YOU COME INTO THIS WORK BECAUSE
(22:07):
YOU ARE A SERVANT YOU WANT TO BE
ENGAGED WITH PEOPLE AND PROVIDE
SERVICE TO PEOPLE.
AGAIN, TO IMPROVE THEIR QUALITY
OF LIFE.
YOU STAY IN IT BECAUSE OF THE
SOLIDARITY THAT COMES WITH
OTHERS COMMITTED TO THE WORK.
>> I HOPE STUDENTS COME AWAY
WITH DEVELOPING THAT COMMUNITY,
DEVELOPING THAT NETWORK IS THE
MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR YOU TO
BE SUCCESSFUL.
(22:27):
YOU DON'T DO PUBLIC HEALTH
ALONE.
YOU DO PUBLIC HEALTH WITH
OTHERS.
BEING ABLE TO BE BRAVE AND PUT
YOURSELF OUT THERE AND MAKE
THOSE CONNECTIONS IS REALLY THE
START TO A REALLY GREAT CAREER
IN PUBLIC HEALTH.
CLOSE TO 100 STUDENTS
PARTICIPATED IN THIS YEAR'S
(22:47):
SHOWCASE.
[♪♪]
SOMETIMES JUDGE PEOPLE CAN MAKE
POOR FINANCIAL DECISIONS.
FOUNDATION 47 A LITERACY
(23:08):
EDUCATION COMPANY AND THE
FOUNDATION FOR ECONOMIC
EDUCATION ARE HOPING TO CHANGE
THAT WITH A FINANCIAL LITERACY
WORKSHOP COMING TO LEXINGTON
THIS SATURDAY.
DETAILS IN TONIGHT'S EDUCATION
MATTERS REPORT.
>> IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR
TEENS TO LEARN THIS EARLY ON I
REFLECT BACK TO MY TEENAGE YEARS
(23:29):
AND I WAS NEVER TAUGHT NONE OF
THESE THINGS WHEN I GRADUATED
HIGH SCHOOL I GOT OUT AND MADE
FINANCIAL MISTAKES.
I FEEL LIKE IF I HAD EVEN BEEN
EXPOSED TO SOME OF THE FINANCIAL
LITERACY CONCEPTS I WOULD HAVE
BEEN BETTER EQUIPPED TO THE
SOLUTIONS THE ISSUES I WAS GOING
TO WALK INTO.
(23:49):
WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT THE
KIDS ABOUT EVERYTHING HIGH
SCHOOL STUDENTS ABOUT EVERYTHING
THEY NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MONEY
BEFORE THE AGE OF 20.
BUDGETING, CREDIT, AND ALSO
MINDSET BUT ALSO WHAT I LIKE A
LOT ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP IS THAT
IT WILL TALK ABOUT FINANCIAL
PLANNING AND CAREER PLANNING.
BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES SOME OF
THE INDIVIDUALS GET IN TROUBLE
(24:11):
BECAUSE THE JOB THEY HAVE
DOESN'T SUPPORT THE LIFESTYLE
THEY WANT TO LIVE.
EQUIPPING YOU WITH THE PROPER
SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE AND KNOW HOW
TO MAKE THE RIGHT FINANCIAL
DECISIONS, THE PROCESS OF BUYING
A HOME, THE PROCESS OF BUYING A
CAR, BUDGETING, BEING ABLE TO
UNDERSTAND WHEN TO TAKE ON DEBT
AND WHEN TO NOT TAKE ON DEBT.
(24:33):
GIVING THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO
UNDERSTAND THE CHOICES YOU MAKE
IN REGARDS TO YOUR PERSONAL
FINANCES CAN AFFECT YOU LATER ON
IN LIFE.
ONE OF THE REASONS I'M PUTTING
ON THE EVENT PEOPLE WERE ASKING
ME WHEN I WAS GOING TO HAVE AN
EVENT THE COMMUNITY IS EXCITED
ABOUT IT.
I HOPE WE DO IT ON A REGULAR
BASIS I BELIEVE THAT THE
COMMUNITY WOULD BENEFIT FROM IT.
(24:53):
AND ALSO WHEN KIDS ARE
INDIVIDUALS FINANCIALLY FIT, IT
ALSO ADDS AN ASPECT OF
IMPROVEMENT TO OUR ECONOMY AS
WELL.
IF YOU HAVE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE
FINANCIAL SAVVY AND MAKING THE
RIGHT DECISIONS WITH THEIR MONEY
THERE ARE A LOT OF INDIVIDUALS
WHO HAVE SMALL BUSINESS IDEALS
BUT THEY DON'T HAVE THE FUNDING
TO SAY START THOSE BUSINESSES.
(25:15):
IF THEY BECOME FINANCIALLY SAVVY
IT INCREASES THE CREDIT SCORE
AND BUSINESS ACUMEN AND WILL
HELP THEM TO BE ABLE TO GET MORE
FUNDING IN A MORE EASY WAY.
ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS THAT I
TELL PEOPLE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT
BUILDING GENERATIONAL WEALTH FOR
OURSELVES AND OUR FAMILIES AFTER
TODAY IT WILL BE THE START OF
(25:35):
INDIVIDUALS BEING ABLE TO HELP
TRIPLE BOTTOM WHAT I CALL THE
TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE.
IT MEANS THEIR SELF THEIR FAMILY
AND COMMUNITY.
AND ONE OF THE THINGS I'M
EXCITED ABOUT IS THE INFORMATION
THAT WILL BE DISSEMINATED TO THE
INDIVIDUALS ABOUT STOCKS AND
BONDS IN THE TIME VALUE OF
MONEY.
IF WE CAN GET THE INDIVIDUALS TO
(25:56):
UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF
STARTING TO INVEST MONEY EARLY,
AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE A LOT
OF US AT THAT AGE WE THINK
RETIREMENT IS SO FAR OFF I HAVE
PLENTY OF TIME FOR THAT
INVESTING EARLY AND
UNDERSTANDING THE TIME VALUE OF
MONEY AND THE DIFFERENCE THREE
OR FOUR YEARS CAN MAKE ON YOUR
PORTFOLIO IS ASTRONOMICAL.
(26:20):
THE FINANCIAL LITERACY
EVENT IS THIS SATURDAY FROM
10:00 A.M.-12:00 P.M. AT MEMBERS
HERITAGE CREDIT UNION IN
LEXINGTON.
