GOOD EVENING AND
WELCOME TO "KENTUCKY EDITION" ON
THIS WEDNESDAY, JULY THE 16TH
I'M RENEE SHAW AND WE THANK YOU
FOR WINDING DOWN YOUR WEDNESDAY
WITH US.
>>> IT'S THE TECHNOLOGY EVERYONE
IS TALKING ABOUT, SOMETIMES THE
TALK IS POSITIVE, SOMETIMES IT'S
NEGATIVE.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
OR A.I. HAS ARRIVED AT
(01:22):
KENTUCKY'S COLLEGES AND GRADE
SCHOOLS.
OUR JUNE LEFFLER HAS MORE FROM
THE STATE'S A.I. TASK FORCE IN
TODAY'S LEGISLATIVE UPDATE.
>> THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR
COMMITTEE OF LAWMAKERS HAVE MET
TO DISCUSS A.I. IN THE
COMMONWEALTH.
OFFICIALS WITH THE KENTUCKY
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
TESTIFIED IN FRANKFORT TUESDAY.
>> THE VERY FIRST TIME THAT
(01:44):
TEACHERS GOT TOGETHER AND WE
REALIZED OUR STUDENTS COULD
GOOGLE SEARCH FOR BASIC ANSWERS
TO QUESTIONS WE WERE ASKING THAT
WAS A MOMENT TO REDEFINE WHAT WE
WERE ASKING AND WHAT
DEMONSTRATIONS OF LEARNING
MANTS.
AND WE ARE AT THE MOMENT AGAIN.
THIS IS AS TRANSFORMATIVE OF A
MOMENT.
>> TEACHERS ARE ROLLING OUT A.I.
(02:05):
IN THE CLASSROOM.
>> OUR TEACHERS ARE BEING
THOUGHTFUL ESPECIALLY IN THE
LESSON PLAN DESIGN AND THEIR
POWER USERS IN KENTUCKY ABOUT
USING THIS FOR THE LESSON PLAN
AND GETTING FEEDBACK.
STUDENTS IN CONTROLLED SETTINGS
ARE STARTED TOKING --
STARTING TO USE IT IN THE
(02:25):
CLASSROOM.
>> KENTUCKY COLLEGES ARE USING
A.I., TOO.
>> I'M PLEASED TO SAY I FEEL
LIKE THEY HAVE ALL EMBRACED A.I.
TO ITS FULLEST AND WE'LL
CONTINUE TO DO THIS.
>> A.I. IS NOW IN COLLEGE COURSE
WORK AND NOT JUST COMPUTER
SCIENCE DEGREES AND CHATBOTS ARE
TALKING TO STUDENTS TO NAVIGATE
THE ADMISSIONS PROCESS.
(02:46):
>> IT REALLY USED A.I. IN ALL
THE DIFFERENT AREAS.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT TEACHING AND
LEARNING AND RESEARCH AND
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT USING IT
FOR THEIR OWN BUSINESS AND HOW
THEY SERVICE STUDENTS AND DO THE
BUSINESS OF BEING A GOVERNMENTAL
ENTITY AS THE CAMPUSES ARE.
AND MAKING SURE IT'S BEING USED
(03:06):
ETHICALLY AND EFFECTIVELY.
>> THE LEADERS OF THE A.I.
COMMITTEE DESCRIBE HOW THEY HAVE
SEEN IT WORK IN EDUCATION AND
WHERE IT MIGHT FALL SHORT.
>> I HAVE A SENIOR AND FRESHMAN.
MY SENIOR STRUGGLES AND ALWAYS
HAS HE STARTED USING CHATGPT TO
PUT WORDS IN SENTENCES TO SEE
(03:26):
HOW THEY WORD MIGHT BE USED.
AND SO QUICKLY USED A TOOL TO
BECOME BETTER EDUCATED AND AT
THAT TIME IS SOMETHING YOU HAVE
A TOOL THAT CAN HELP ESPECIALLY
WITH THOSE WITH DISABILITIES I
THINK THERE'S COOL A.I. TOOLS
THAT WILL BE HELPFUL IN
PERSONALIZED LEARNING THAT MAY
MOVE THE NEEDLE THE WAY WE DON'T
(03:49):
HAVE ENOUGH TEACHERS IN THE
CLASSROOM.
>> I'M CONCERNED IT IS GOING TO
BECOME A CRUTCH AND SOME OF THE
MOST IMPORTANT LESSONS KIDS MAY
NEED TO BE TAUGHT ARE THE SOFT
SKILLS PRESENTED THROUGH SREB
HAD A SLOT THE INTERPERSONAL
REACTIONS WHAT IT'S LIKE TO HAVE
A CONVERSATION WITH SOMEBODY
(04:09):
ONE-ON-ONE.
WHAT IT'S LIKE WHEN AN ISSUE IN
LIFE POPS UP, HOW DO YOU PROBLEM
SOLVE FOR IT.
>> THE TASK FORCE COULD PROPOSE
LEGISLATION AROUND THIS TOPIC.
THE STATE DID PASS A.I.
LEGISLATION SENATE BILL 4
REQUIRED A.I. POLICIES FOR STATE
AGENCIES.
AND MOST NOTABLY ADDRESSED A.I.
(04:30):
DEEPFAKES UPPING PENALTIES FOR
ANYONE DIGITALLY IMPERSONATING A
POLITICAL CANDIDATE BEFORE AN
ELECTION.
FOR "KENTUCKY EDITION" I'M JUNE
LEFFLER.
THANK YOU, JUNE.
THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY COULD
BE THE STATE AND WORLD'S NEW
A.I. HUB.
U.K. RECEIVED A NEARLY $1
MILLION GRANT TO FORM THE
(04:51):
RESEARCH EVALUATION.
IT IS AN INTERNATIONAL
INITIATIVE AIMED AT EXPLORING
THE RESPONSIBLE USE OF DATA AND
A.I. IN RESEARCH.
>>> KENTUCKY IS GETTING ANOTHER
$14.4 MILLION TO FIGHT THE
STATE'S OPIOID ADDICTION
PROBLEM.
THE KENTUCKY ATTORNEY GENERAL'S
OFFICE SAYS IT'S FROM ANOTHER
(05:11):
SETTLEMENT WITH OPIOID
MANUFACTURERS.
IT INVOLVES EIGHT COMPANIES.
IN ADDITION TO THE MONEY, THE
COMPANIES WILL FACE RESTRICTIONS
IN PROMOTING AND SELLING
OPIOIDS.
SEVEN VEN OF THE EIGHT COMPANIES
WILL HAVE TO CREATE A MONITORING
SYSTEM THAT WILL FLAG SUSPICIOUS
ORDERS.
ATTORNEY GENERAL RUSSELL COLEMAN
SAID THIS IN RESPONSE TO THE
SETTLE.
(05:31):
QUOTE, WHILE THESE RESOURCES
WON'T FILL THE EMPTY SEATS AT
KENTUCKY DINNER TABLES THEY WILL
HELPFUL PREVENTION, TREATMENT
AND RECOVERY EFFORTS IN OUR
COMMONWEALTH AND HELP SAVE LIVES
FROM THE SCOURGE OF ADDICTION
END QUOTE.
>>> TODAY, THE U.S. SENATE IS
CONSIDERING A SO-CALLED
RESCISSION PACKAGE THAT CUTS
ABOUT $9 BILLION ALREADY
(05:53):
APPROVED FOR FROM THE USAID
PROGRAM AND THE CORPORATION FOR
PUBLIC BROADCASTING WHICH HELPS
FUND KET.
THE HOUSE HAS ALREADY PASSED
THIS PACKAGE.
THE SENATE WAS DEBATING THE
PACKAGE BUT HAD NOT YET TAKEN A
FINAL VOTE AT THE TIME OF OUR
"KENTUCKY EDITION" DEADLINE.
U.S. SENATOR MITCH McCONNELL
OF KENTUCKY WAS ONE OF JUST
(06:13):
THREE REPUBLICANS TO VOTE NO
DURING A KEY PROCEDURAL VOTE
YESTERDAY.
KENTUCKY CONGRESSMAN MORGAN
MCGARVEY OF THE THIRD DISTRICT,
A DEMOCRAT, WHO VOTED NO IN THE
HOUSE SAID THE CUTS WOULD
THREATEN KENTUCKIANS SAFETY BY
ELIMINATING IMPORTANT WEATHER
INFORMATION.
SENATOR McCONNELL SAYS IT IS
AN EXAMPLE OF THE TRUMP
(06:34):
ADMINISTRATION GOING TOO FAR.
>> THEY WOULD LIKE A BLANK CHECK
WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE.
AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S
APPROPRIATE.
>> LOOK AT KENTUCKY WE ARE A
RURAL STATE ALREADY THIS YEAR WE
HAVE HAD 46 EXTREME WEATHER
EVENDS, FLOODS, TORNADOES IN
(06:55):
KENTUCKY.
YOUR LOCAL NEWS STATION DOES NOT
COVER EVERY AREA OF THE STATE.
AND THESE RADIO STATIONS ARE THE
LIFELINE.
THE WAY WE GET ALERTS AND
WARNINGS TO PEOPLE AND WHEN YOU
ARE TALKING ABOUT A TORNADO
COMING DOWN IN WESTERN KENTUCKY
OR EASTERN KENTUCKY GETTING
FLOODED IN-BETWEEN THE
MOUNTAINS, SECONDS MATTER.
THIS ISN'T JUST MINUTES SECONDS
(07:16):
CAN MATTER.
WITH THE EXCEPTIONS OF
McCONNELL AND McGARVEY THE
REST OF THE DELEGATION HAS VOTED
TO MOVE THE RESCISSION BILL
FORWARD.
>>> THIS SUMMER MORE THAN HALF A
MILLION PEOPLE LOST THEIR LEGAL
STATUS TO LIVE AND WORK IN THE
U.S.
SPECIFICALLY, HAITIAN AND LATIN
(07:37):
IMMIGRANTS WHO ARRIVED DURING
THE FINAL YEARS OF THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION.
THE NUMBER IS NOT KNOWN, BUT
MANY SETTLED IN KENTUCKY FINDING
JOBS, SAFETY AND COMMUNITY.
OUR JUNE LEFFLER IS BACK AND SHE
MET WITH ONE MAN FIGHTING TO
STAY IN LOUISVILLE AND WITH
NATURALIZED CITIZENS WHO SEE OUR
IMMIGRATION SYSTEM IN VERY
DIFFERENT LIGHTS.
(07:57):
>> IN 2023 WENLEY MOISE FLED
HAITI FOR LOUISVILLE.
>> I LOVE MY COUNTRY.
BUT THE SITUATION THE REASON WHY
THAT I LEFT, WAS BECAUSE I WAS
IN DANGER.
>> ARMED GANGS CONTROL MUCH OF
THE COUNTRY KILLING AND
KIDNAPPING PEOPLE.
THEY RECRUIT CHILDREN, SOMETHING
(08:19):
MOISE TRIED TO PREVENT WHEN HE
LIVED THERE HIS LAWYER SAYS.
>> HE WAS WORKING AT THE PROGRAM
SAKALA PROVIDING A PATH FOR YUCK
PEOPLE TO STAY OUT OF GANGS AND
BECAUSE OF THAT HE WAS TARGETED
BY THOSE GANGS.
AND HE HAS SEEN THINGS THAT NO
HUMAN SHOULD SEE.
(08:39):
>> NOW, IN LOUISVILLE MOISE IS
WITHOUT HIS FAMILY BUT SAYS THEY
FOR HE IS SAFE.
>> THEY ARE SCARED.
AND THEY ARE IN DANGER EVERYDAY.
AND ME OUT OF HAITI IS, YOU NO,
DECREASING THE WEIGHT ON THEIR
HEART LIKE THINKING THAT
(08:59):
SOMETHING CAN HAPPEN TO ME.
>> HE CAME TO THE U.S. UNDER
HUMANITARIAN PAROLE SOMETHING
FORMER PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN
GRANTED TO FOLKSES FROM HAITI,
CUBA, NICARAGUA, AND VENEZUELA.
PEARL OFFER THE LEGAL RIGHT TO
STAY AND WORK TEMPORARILY.
>> FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ENTERED
ON THE PAROLE PROGRAM THERE WAS
ALWAYS A QUESTION OF WHAT IS
(09:21):
NEXT.
>> PAROLEES WERE GRANTED TWO
YEARS TO STAY BUT DONALD TRUMP
ENDED THE PROGRAM IN MARCH.
THE SUPREME COURT GREEN LIT THAT
MOVE IN JUNE.
>> AND THE NOTICE ON THE FEDERAL
REGISTER SAID IF YOU DONTS HE
AHAVE AN APPLICATION PENDING YOU
ARE A PRIORITY FOR REMOVAL.
>> THAT CREATED PANIC SENDING
(09:43):
MANY PAROLEES INTO HIDING.
>> PICKED UP BY I.C.E. ANYTIME
AND YOUR FAMILY NOT KNOWING
WHERE YOU ARE AND THEN WHAT IS
GOING TO HAPPEN?
>> OUT OF A CHURCH BASEMENT TWO
HAITIAN U.S. BORN CITIZENS IN
LOUISVILLE RUN THE ROUTE A
GRASSROOT EFFORT TO HELP OTHER
HAITIANS, ESPECIALLY THE
(10:04):
NEWCOMERS.
>> ENDING THE PROGRAM HERE, IS
THE LOSS OF EMPLOYMENT STATUS.
WITH PEOPLE LOSING THEIR
EMPLOYMENT STATUS THEY CANNOT
WORK AND NO JOB MAKING NO MONEY
AND PROVIDING FOR THE FAMILY AND
NOT ABLE TO PAY THE BILLS.
>> THEY DESCRIBE THIS CHANGE AS
A STAB IN THE BACK.
>> THE PEOPLE RECEIVED THE
(10:24):
PERMITS FROM THE U.S. GOVERNMENT
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN TO END THEIR
STATUS JUST LIKE THAT RENDERING
THEM ILLEGAL.
THAT KIND OF, I THINK REDUCED
THE CREDIBILITY OF THE U.S.
GOVERNMENT.
>> IT FEELS LIKE WE'RE CATTLE,
ABLE TO BE MOVED WHENEVER.
(10:45):
BEING DISPLACED WHOEVER.
>> NOT ALL IMMIGRANTS ARE UPSET
WITH TRUMP'S HARDLINE APPROACH.
>> I DEFEND MY COMMUNITY, BUT I
DEFEND THE CONTROLLED
IMMIGRATION, THE LEGAL
IMMIGRATION TO THE UNITED
STATES.
>> DARIEN BARRIOS WORKS AT THE
ADULT DAYCARE FOR SPANISH
(11:06):
SPEAKERS.
LOUISVILLE IS HOME TO ONE OF THE
FASTEST GROWING CUBAN
COMMUNITIES IN THE COUNTRY AND
MOST CUBAN-AMERICANS WHO SHOWED
UP TO THE POLLS IN 2024 VOTED
FOR TRUMP.
DARIEN BARRIOS BELIEVES TRUMP IS
TARGETING FRAUD IN THE
IMMIGRATION SYSTEM.
>> IN THE AIRPORT WHEN THEY COME
IN, THE OFFICERS THEY SAY WHO IS
YOUR SPONSOR?
(11:27):
AND THEY SAY I DON'T KNOW.
SO MANY PEOPLE ARE COMING FRAUD
WITH THE PAROLE.
>> WITHOUT CONGRESS ACTING, THE
PRESIDENT MAKES THE IMMIGRATION
RULES.
WHAT WAS LEGAL UNDER BIDEN
SIMPLY ISN'T ANYMORE UNDER
TRUMP.
FOR MOISE, HE AND HIS LAWYER ARE
(11:48):
PURSUING ANOTHER LEGAL AVENUE.
ASYLUM.
>> I LOVE THIS PLACE THAT IS THE
FIRST PLACE I CAME WHEN I CAME
TO THE U.S. AND I FELL IN LOVE
WITH IT.
AND I THINK I WILL STAY IN
LOUISVILLE UNTIL, YOU KNOW,
UNTIL WHAT WILL COME.
>> IF THEIR CASE IS SUCCESSFUL
IT COULD LEAD TO A GREEN CARD
(12:09):
SOMETHING TEMPORARY PAROLE COULD
NEVER GUARANTEE.
FOR "KENTUCKY EDITION" I'M JUNE
LEFFLER.
THANK YOU, JUNE.
THERE'S MORE THAN THE HUMAN
IMPACT OF THIS STORY.
SOME KENTUCKY BUSINESSES ARE
FEELING SQUEEZED.
MORE ON THAT TOMORROW NIGHT ON
"KENTUCKY EDITION."
>>> KENTUCKY STATE POLICE HAVE
IDENTIFIED THE TROOPER INJURED
(12:30):
IN A MASS SHOOTING SUNDAY.
TROOPER JUDE REMILIEN IS A
THREE-YEAR VETERAN OF THE AGENCY
AND IS ASSIGNED TO POST 12.
HE IS FROM HAITI.
TROOPER JUDE REMILIEN WAS SHOT
IN THE LINE OF DUTY OUTSIDE
BLUEGRASS AIRPORT OVER THE
WEEKEND.
THE SUSPECT SHOT AND KILLED A
MOTHER AND DAUGHTER AT RICHMOND
(12:50):
ROAD BAPTIST CHURCH.
TWO MEN AT THE CHURCH WERE ALSO
INJURED.
POLICE THEN SHOT AND KILLED THE
GUNMAN.
KSP SAYS HE CONTINUES TO RECOVER
IN THE HOSPITAL.
[♪♪]
>> I'M LAURA ROGERS WITH
NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO'S RYLAND
(13:11):
BARTON.
AND LET'S BEGIN TODAY WITH A
CHALLENGE TO KENTUCKY'S ABORTION
BAN AND THE COURT OF APPEALS
RULED THAT AT LEAST ONE OF THOSE
WOMEN DOES HAVE THE STANDING TO
CHALLENGE THE BAN MEANING THE
CASE WILL GO BACK TO JEFFERSON
CIRCUIT COURT.
TELL US MORE ABOUT THIS ONE.
>> SHE IS SUING ARGUING THAT THE
(13:32):
BAN VIOLATES HER RELIGIOUS
FREEDOM AND THAT IT WOULD
UNDERCUT HER ABILITY TO UNDERGO
IN-VITRO FERTILIZATION IT COMES
FROM THE LAWSUIT THE LOWER COURT
DISMISSED THE LAWSUIT FILED BY
HER AND TWO JEWISH WOMEN SAID
THE LAW GIVES PREFERENCE
TORIESIAN DEFINITIONS TO LIFE.
(13:53):
AND LAST WEEK THE COURT OF
APPEALS RULED THIS ONE WOMAN,
JESSICA DOES HAVE STANDING TO
SUE OVER THE ABORTION BAN.
SHE HAS NINE EMBRYOS THAT ARE
FROZEN THAT COULD BE IMPLANTED
OR DONATED OR DESTROYED AND THAT
PART IS KEY HERE.
BECAUSE, REMEMBER, LAST YEAR
WHEN IVF CLINICS IN ALABAMA
(14:14):
STOPPED ORVING IVF OUT OF
WORRIES OF DESTROYING EMBRYOS
BECAUSE OF A SUPREME COURT
RULING THERE.
THAT WAS UNTIL THE LEGISLATURE
PASSED A A THAT CLARIFIED THIS
ISSUE.
SHE SAYS THAT KENTUCKY HASN'T
VERIFIED THAT ISSUE AND SHE
CANCELED AN IMPLEMENTATION
BECAUSE SHE WAS AFRAID THE LAW
(14:35):
COULD BE USED AGAINST HER.
RUSSELL COLEMAN ARGUES THAT
KENTUCKY LAW ALREADY PROTECTS
IVF.
AND UNLESS HE APPEALS THIS
PARTICULAR RULING ON STANDING,
TO THE STATE SUPREME COURT THIS
LAWSUIT NOW AS YOU SAID NOW
HEADS BACK TO THE LOWER COURT TO
BE ARGUED JUST WITH THIS ONE
POWERFUL.
>> WHAT IS YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF
(14:57):
HER GOAL IN THIS CASE?
>> WELL, HER ULTIMATE GOAL HERE
AND THE PLAINTIFF'S IN THE
LAWSUIT WAS TO HAVE THE ABORTION
BAN DISMISSED IT'S UNCLEAR AND
VAGUE.
THE LEGISLATURE ATTEMPTED TO
CLARIFY SOME OF THE RULES AND
SHE IS SAYING ESPECIALLY UNDER
IVF IT'S STILL UNCLEAR.
>> AND NOW, MITCH McCONNELL OF
(15:19):
KENTUCKY ALSO A SENIOR MEMBER OF
THE AGRICULTURE COMMITTEE AND HE
IS WORKING TO CLOSE A LOOPHOLE
IN THE FARM BILL LANGUAGE THAT
HE SAYS HAS ALLOWED HEMP DERIVED
THC PRODUCTS TO BE SOLD AND HE
HAS CONCERNS THAT THIS IS
DANGEROUS FOR KIDS.
BUT THEN HE ALSO WANTS TO MAKE
(15:40):
SURE THAT HEMP REMAINS AN
INDUSTRY FOR KENTUCKY FARMERS.
TELL US MORE ABOUT SENATOR
McCONNELL'S EFFORTS.
>> McCONNELL IN 2018 HE
CHAMPIONED THIS FARM BILL
PROVISION IN THE FARM BILL THAT
LEGALIZED HEMP IT ALLOWED STATES
TO REGULATE HEMP.
AND HEMP HAS LOW AMOUNTS OF THC
(16:04):
THE COMPOUND FOUND IN MARIJUANA.
AFTER THAT 2018 FARM BILL PASSED
THIS INDUSTRY POPPED UP OF HEMP
DERIVED THC PRODUCTS DELTA 8,
DELTA 9 AND THEY APPEAR IN
GUMMIES, DRINKS, OILS.
AND ACCORDING TO REPORTING FROM
KENTUCKY PUBLIC RADIO MITCH
McCONNELL WANTS TO CLOSE THAT
(16:26):
LOOPHOLE IN THIS BILL AND WANTS
TO PRESERVE THE ABILITY TO DRO
HEMP.
HEMP IS THE HISTORIC CASH CROP
IN KENTUCKY AND HE SAYS THIS THC
SIDE OF IT WAS AN UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCE OF THE BILL AND
THESE PRODUCTS ARE NOT SAFE AND
THESE ARE CLAIMS THE INDUSTRY
DENIES.
A VERSION OF THIS WHOLE CLOSING
(16:46):
THE LOOPHOLE ISSUE WHICH IS
HEAVILY --
THE INDUSTRY IS WORRIED IT WOULD
UNDERCUT THE HEMP INDUSTRY
BECAUSE ALL HEMP HAS THC AND CBD
PRODUCTS WILL HAVE TRACE AMOUNTS
OF THC THEY ARE WORRIED NO WAY
TO DO AWAY WITH THE THC.
A VERSION OF THE BILL PASSED THE
(17:07):
HOUSE BUT IN THE SENATE VERSION
IT WOULD DELAY ALL OF THESE
PROVISIONS BY A YEAR TO
HOPEFULLY GIVE THE HEMP INDUSTRY
TIME TO CATCH UP.
THEY ARE HOPING TO LOB I AGAINST
IMPLEMENTATION OR SOME CHANGE TO
THE REGULATIONS GOING FORWARD.
THERE IS PLENTY OF NEGOTIATIONS
TO GO EVEN IN THE SENATE PASSES
(17:28):
THIS THEY HAVE TO AGREE TO THE
CHANGES MADE PIE THE SENATE.
>> AND ANOTHER LAWSUIT, A
TRANSGENDER INMATE INCARCERATED
IN NORTHERN KENTUCKY'S BOYLE
COUNTY IS CHALLENGING
LEGISLATION PASSED THIS YEAR
MEANING HER HORMONE THERAPY HAS
TO COME TO AN END.
>> THIS TRANSGENDER WOMAN WHO IS
(17:51):
INCARCERATED IN BOYLE COUNTY IS
SUING OVER THE BILL THAT BANS
HORMONE THERAPY FOR INMATES
WHILE IN CUSTODY.
SHE HAS BEEN RECEIVING HORMONE
THERAPY SINCE 2009 AND HAS BEEN
IN PRISON FOR A MURDER
CONVICTION SINCE 2016.
SHE SAYS THAT THAT BILL VIOLATES
HER 14TH AMENDMENT RIGHT TO
(18:11):
EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW
AND THE 8TH AMENDMENT RIGHT NOT
TO BE CRUELLY AND UNUSUALLY
PUNISHED IT IS A CLASS ACTION
LAWSUIT IT'S INVITING INMATES
ABOUT LOSING HORMONE THERAPY TO
JOIN IN ON THE LAWSUIT.
RUSSELL COLEMAN SAYS HE IS GOING
TO DEFEND THE LAW AND TAXPAYERS
SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS
(18:31):
TREATMENT AND THE LEGISLATURE'S
LAW SHOULD STAND.
>> HAS THERE BEEN RESPONSE FROM
DOCTORS WHEN THEY ARE ASKED
ABOUT STOPPING HORMONE THERAPY?
>> WELL, DOCTORS SAY THAT
CUTTING OFF TREATMENT CAN CAUSE
PHYSICAL HARM, AND PSYCHOLOGICAL
HARM SOMETHING ELSE ANOTHER
DETAIL ON THIS IS STATE
OFFICIALS SAY THERE ARE 67
(18:53):
INMATES IN KENTUCKY RIGHT NOW
WHO HAVE BEEN RECEIVING HORMONE
THERAPY WHO WON'T BE ABLE TO
UNDER THIS LAW.
>> RYLAND BARTON WE THANK YOU
FOR YOUR TIME AND SEE YOU AGAIN
NEXT WEEK.
>> THANKS, LAURA.

(19:15):
BUFFALO TRACE
DISTILLERY AND MERIDIAN BIOTECH
ARE FINDING NEW USES FOR GRAINS
HIGH IN PROTEIN, LEFTOVER FROM
THE BREWING PROCESS.
THE PARTNERSHIP WILL CREATE
DOZENS OF JOBS IN IN FRANKLIN
COUNTYISM WE ARE AN INDUSTRIAL
BIOTECH COMPANY WE PROCESS BUY
(19:36):
PRODUCTS FROM DISTILLERIES INTO
MULTIFUNCTIONAL INGREDIENTS AND
ALTERNATIVE PROTEINS FOR
SPECIFIC INDUSTRIES, PET FOOD,
AQUACULTURE AND WE HAVE A
FERTILIZER PRODUCT AS WELL.
>> SPECIFICALLY IN THE PET FOOD
AND AQUACULTURE WHAT WE'RE
TRYING TO DO IS PROVIDE CLEAN
LABEL INGREDIENTS SO THEY ARE
(19:58):
MULTIFUNCTIONAL INGREDIENTS THEY
HELP FROM A PROTEIN ASPECT OUR
CUSTOMERS ARE LOOKING FOR THAT
AS SOMETHING ALTERNATIVE THAT IS
MORE SUSTAINABLE.
SO WE'RE TRYING TO PROVIDE
SOMETHING AS A CLEAN LABEL
INGREDIENT INSTEAD OF WHAT THEY
ARE USING CURRENTLY.
>> THIS IS A PARTNERSHIP THAT'S
BEEN CULMINATED OVER A FEW
(20:20):
YEARS.
WE STARTED OUT WITH SOME TESTING
OF SOME OF OUR SPENT GRAINS AND
EXPERIMENTING AND THROUGH THE
YEARS AS THEY HAVE DETERMINED
THAT THIS IS SUCCESSFUL AND
CREATES GOOD PRODUCTS, THEN
WE'VE EXPANDED THAT OVER THE
(20:41):
YEARS.
WE BRING IN ALL OF OUR RAW
INGREDIENTS OUR GRAINS AND THEN
WE FOREMEANT THOSE GRAINS AND WE
RUN IT THROUGH OUR STILL.
AND THEN WE SEPARATE THE GRAINS
FROM THE ALCOHOL.
AND THOSE GRAINS THAT HAVE BEEN
SEPARATED WE CALL THEM SPENT
(21:02):
GRAINS AND THOSE ARE THE GRAINS
THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING
WITH.
WE HAVE A SYSTEM HERE WHERE WE
DRY ALL THE GRAINS INTO A
COMPONENT IN FEED FOR CATTLE OR
POULTRY OR DOG FOOD OR WHATEVER
THEY WANT TO USE IT FOR.
HIGH PROTEIN AND WE DRY THAT
THROUGH OUR DRY HOUSES WE HAVE
(21:23):
ON-SITE.
THE PARTNERSHIP HELPS US,
BECAUSE IT GIVES US ANOTHER
AVENUE FOR OUR SPENT GRAINS SO
CURRENTLY, 100% GETS DRIED INTO
THE FEED AND VERSUS WE WILL BE
ABLE TO HAVE ANOTHER STREAM AND
UTILIZE THE FEED FOR OTHER
PRODUCTS.
>> WE'RE LOOKING AT
APPROXIMATELY 35 HIGH TECH
(21:44):
PAYING JOBS.
SO WE'RE GOING TO BE BRINGING IN
CERTAIN ENGINEERS AND, YOU KNOW,
BIOPROCESS SCIENTISTS AS WELL AS
WE ARE GOING TO BE COLLABORATING
WITH KENTUCKY STATE WITH THE
ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT,
INTERNSHIPS.
SO WE WANT TO BRING THAT
TOGETHER AS WE COME HERE TO
FRANKFORT.
(22:07):
CONSTRUCTION ON THE
$40 MILLION FACILITY WILL BEGIN
NEXT YEAR.
OFFICIALS SAY IT WILL TAKE 10
MONTHS TO A YEAR TO COMPLETE.
[♪♪]
FRAZZELL GUITARS HAS BEEN
(22:27):
STRUMMING ALONG SINCE 2021 IN
DANIELLE.
BRANDON EDWARDS CREATES GUITARS
FROM SCRATCH AND REPAIRS BROKEN
INSTRUMENTS.
HE MADE A GUITAR FOR ALEX MILLER
A KENTUCKIAN FROM LANCASTER WHO
WAS ON "AMERICAN IDOL" IN 2021.
WE SAT DOWN WITH EDWARDS TO HEAR
MORE ABOUT HIS BUSINESS, IN THIS
(22:50):
SEGMENT WE CALL TAPESTRY.
>> WE ARE FULL SERVICE LIKE A
HOSPITAL HERE.
I WAS 25, 24 YEARS OLD WHEN I
STARTED THIS PLACE.
AND I MEAN IT'S BEEN A
ROLLERCOASTER OF EMOTIONS.
IT'S NEVER EASY.
ESPECIALLY BEING A YOUNG
BUSINESS OWNER.
IT'S REALLY HARD A LOT OF PEOPLE
YOU START OUT COMING HERE EXPECT
TO SEE SOMEBODY OLDER AND THEY
(23:11):
SEE A YOUNG GUY DOING THIS LIKE
WOW.
YOU KNOW, I STARTED THIS ON MY
OWN.
NOBODY FINANCED IT BUT ME.
I SAVED UP MONEY WHEN I LIVED IN
NASHVILLE AND PRETTY MUCH COME
BACK AND STARTED MY DREAM.
I WENT TO SCHOOL AT MUSICIANS
ACADEMY FOR BUILDING GUITARS AND
BECAME A BUILDER AND REPAIR MAN
(23:32):
AND GOT ME A JOB WORKING FOR
GIBSON CUSTOM SHOP.
THEY SAID YOU NEED TO START YOUR
OWN THING I WANTED TO COME BACK
AND BE IN MY COMMUNITY AND BE
CLOSE TO MY FAMILY.
I GIVE KENTUCKY ARTISTS THE
FIRST CHANCE.
THESE ARE THE CATS GOING OUT,
PLAYING AND DOING, AND THEY ARE
GIVING THEIR HEART AND SOUL FOR
(23:52):
SOMETHING AND THEY DON'T KNOW IF
THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE IT OR
NOT.
EVERYTHING THAT COMES OUT OF
HERE GETS ATTENTION.
>> PEOPLE TEND TO FORGET THE
LITTLE GUY ESPECIALLY WHEN IT
COMES TO THINGS LIKE INSTRUMENTS
EVERYBODY GOES FOR THE BIGGER
NAMES AND TEND TO FORGET THAT
YOU CAN FIND A VERY HIGH QUALITY
CRAFTED INSTRUMENT RIGHT HERE IN
YOUR HOMETOWN.
(24:13):
>> EVERY GUITAR COME OUT OF HERE
NONE ARE THE SAME.
EACH ONE ARE UNIQUE AND HAVE
THEIR OWN IDENTITY.
SOMETHING ABOUT THEM AND IT'S
WHATEVER I FEEL ON MY HEART
WHATEVER INSPIRATION AT THAT
TIME WHATEVER I'M THINKING AND
SEEING AND 99% OF THE TIME
PEOPLE ASK ME TO COME UP WITH
(24:33):
SOMETHING THEY DON'T KNOW AND I
COME UP WITH SOMETHING AND IT'S
LIKE WOW YOU HIT IT OUT OF THE
PARK.
I WASN'T THINKING ABOUT ANYTHING
AND YOU HIT EVERYTHING I WANTED.
IT'S ABOUT GETTING TO KNOW THE
PEOPLE.
YOU RESEARCH THEM AND TALK TO
THEM FOR A WHILE AND GET INSIDE
THEIR HEAD AND WHAT THEY LIKE
AND DON'T LIKE AND STUFF LIKE
THAT.
WE FIX IT AND GET IT BACK OUT
(24:55):
THE DOOR, THEY ARE TRUSTING ME
TO GET THAT GUITAR BACK AND
BRING IN DIFFERENT STUFF AND
STORY.
THIS GUY HAS BEEN PLAYING MUSIC
HIS WHOLE LIFE AND HE TOOK IT ON
THE ROAD AND HE GETS THE GUITAR
BACK IT IS A STORY.
FIXING IT AND GETTING IT
PLAYABLE SO HE CAN GET BACK ON
THE ROAD TO TELL HIS STORY AGAIN
(25:16):
AND THAT CONNECTION AND MAKING
SURE IT'S BEYOND.
IF I FIX A GUITAR I WANT TO SEE
THE WORK I FIXED.
>> MUSIC IS GOOD FOR YOUR BRAIN.
IT'S REALLY GOOD FOR EXPRESSION
AND, I THINK, THAT HAVING A
PLACE LIKE THIS HELPS FOSTER
THAT CONNECTION WITHIN PEOPLE
AND IT HELPS BRING MUSIC MORE TO
(25:37):
THE FOREFRONT.
>> IT'S GOOD TO HAVE A LOT OF
COMMUNITY SUPPORT.
A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW
DANVILLE IS THE OLDEST CITY IN
THE STATE OF KENTUCKY AND THESE
PEOPLE HAVE BECOME MORE THAN
CUSTOMERS THEY BECOME A PART OF
YOUR LIFE THEY ARE FAMILY.
AND THE FAMILY IS LIKE WHEN I
WALK THROUGH THE DOOR YOU
KICKOFF YOUR SHOES LIKE
GRANDMA'S HOUSE.
EVERYTHING ON THE WALLS THE
(25:59):
MEMORABILIA IT IS A STATEMENT OF
ME, WHAT I LIKE AND WHAT I DO.
I TRY TO PUT FORWARD AND GIVE
BACK TO THE COMMUNITY.
>> PEOPLE ARE REALLY GRAVITATING
TOWARDS INSTRUMENTS AND WHEN YOU
PLAY THEM, IT'S A SPECIAL THING.
LIKE I SAID THIS THING IS LIKE A
THIRD ARM FOR ME.
LIKE IT'S JUST ANOTHER PART OF
ME.
AND PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO HAVE
(26:20):
THAT SAME CONNECTION WITH HIS
INSTRUMENTS.
FRAZZELL GUITARS IS
MORE THAN JUST A GUITAR REPAIR
SHOP IT HAS A RECORDING STUDIO
WHERE YOU CAN CREATE AND RECORD
YOUR OWN SONGS WITH THE HELP OF
PROFESSIONALS.
YOU CAN TAKE A LESSONS CLASS AND
A PROGRAM CALLED NO KID WITHOUT
A GUITAR WHERE YOU CAN DONATE
(26:42):
GUITARS FOR YOUTH IN THE
COMMUNITY.
THAT WILL DO IT FOR US TONIGHT
WE HOPE TO SEE YOU TOMORROW
NIGHT AT 6:30 EASTERN 5:30
CENTRAL FOR "KENTUCKY EDITION"
WHERE WE INFORM, CONNECT AND
INSPIRE.

[♪♪]
(01:00):
GOOD EVENING AND
WELCOME TO "KENTUCKY EDITION" ON
THIS WEDNESDAY, JULY THE 16TH
I'M RENEE SHAW AND WE THANK YOU
FOR WINDING DOWN YOUR WEDNESDAY
WITH US.
>>> IT'S THE TECHNOLOGY EVERYONE
IS TALKING ABOUT, SOMETIMES THE
TALK IS POSITIVE, SOMETIMES IT'S
NEGATIVE.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
OR A.I. HAS ARRIVED AT
(01:22):
KENTUCKY'S COLLEGES AND GRADE
SCHOOLS.
OUR JUNE LEFFLER HAS MORE FROM
THE STATE'S A.I. TASK FORCE IN
TODAY'S LEGISLATIVE UPDATE.
>> THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR
COMMITTEE OF LAWMAKERS HAVE MET
TO DISCUSS A.I. IN THE
COMMONWEALTH.
OFFICIALS WITH THE KENTUCKY
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
TESTIFIED IN FRANKFORT TUESDAY.
>> THE VERY FIRST TIME THAT
(01:44):
TEACHERS GOT TOGETHER AND WE
REALIZED OUR STUDENTS COULD
GOOGLE SEARCH FOR BASIC ANSWERS
TO QUESTIONS WE WERE ASKING THAT
WAS A MOMENT TO REDEFINE WHAT WE
WERE ASKING AND WHAT
DEMONSTRATIONS OF LEARNING
MANTS.
AND WE ARE AT THE MOMENT AGAIN.
THIS IS AS TRANSFORMATIVE OF A
MOMENT.
>> TEACHERS ARE ROLLING OUT A.I.
(02:05):
IN THE CLASSROOM.
>> OUR TEACHERS ARE BEING
THOUGHTFUL ESPECIALLY IN THE
LESSON PLAN DESIGN AND THEIR
POWER USERS IN KENTUCKY ABOUT
USING THIS FOR THE LESSON PLAN
AND GETTING FEEDBACK.
STUDENTS IN CONTROLLED SETTINGS
ARE STARTED TOKING --
STARTING TO USE IT IN THE
(02:25):
CLASSROOM.
>> KENTUCKY COLLEGES ARE USING
A.I., TOO.
>> I'M PLEASED TO SAY I FEEL
LIKE THEY HAVE ALL EMBRACED A.I.
TO ITS FULLEST AND WE'LL
CONTINUE TO DO THIS.
>> A.I. IS NOW IN COLLEGE COURSE
WORK AND NOT JUST COMPUTER
SCIENCE DEGREES AND CHATBOTS ARE
TALKING TO STUDENTS TO NAVIGATE
THE ADMISSIONS PROCESS.
(02:46):
>> IT REALLY USED A.I. IN ALL
THE DIFFERENT AREAS.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT TEACHING AND
LEARNING AND RESEARCH AND
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT USING IT
FOR THEIR OWN BUSINESS AND HOW
THEY SERVICE STUDENTS AND DO THE
BUSINESS OF BEING A GOVERNMENTAL
ENTITY AS THE CAMPUSES ARE.
AND MAKING SURE IT'S BEING USED
(03:06):
ETHICALLY AND EFFECTIVELY.
>> THE LEADERS OF THE A.I.
COMMITTEE DESCRIBE HOW THEY HAVE
SEEN IT WORK IN EDUCATION AND
WHERE IT MIGHT FALL SHORT.
>> I HAVE A SENIOR AND FRESHMAN.
MY SENIOR STRUGGLES AND ALWAYS
HAS HE STARTED USING CHATGPT TO
PUT WORDS IN SENTENCES TO SEE
(03:26):
HOW THEY WORD MIGHT BE USED.
AND SO QUICKLY USED A TOOL TO
BECOME BETTER EDUCATED AND AT
THAT TIME IS SOMETHING YOU HAVE
A TOOL THAT CAN HELP ESPECIALLY
WITH THOSE WITH DISABILITIES I
THINK THERE'S COOL A.I. TOOLS
THAT WILL BE HELPFUL IN
PERSONALIZED LEARNING THAT MAY
MOVE THE NEEDLE THE WAY WE DON'T
(03:49):
HAVE ENOUGH TEACHERS IN THE
CLASSROOM.
>> I'M CONCERNED IT IS GOING TO
BECOME A CRUTCH AND SOME OF THE
MOST IMPORTANT LESSONS KIDS MAY
NEED TO BE TAUGHT ARE THE SOFT
SKILLS PRESENTED THROUGH SREB
HAD A SLOT THE INTERPERSONAL
REACTIONS WHAT IT'S LIKE TO HAVE
A CONVERSATION WITH SOMEBODY
(04:09):
ONE-ON-ONE.
WHAT IT'S LIKE WHEN AN ISSUE IN
LIFE POPS UP, HOW DO YOU PROBLEM
SOLVE FOR IT.
>> THE TASK FORCE COULD PROPOSE
LEGISLATION AROUND THIS TOPIC.
THE STATE DID PASS A.I.
LEGISLATION SENATE BILL 4
REQUIRED A.I. POLICIES FOR STATE
AGENCIES.
AND MOST NOTABLY ADDRESSED A.I.
(04:30):
DEEPFAKES UPPING PENALTIES FOR
ANYONE DIGITALLY IMPERSONATING A
POLITICAL CANDIDATE BEFORE AN
ELECTION.
FOR "KENTUCKY EDITION" I'M JUNE
LEFFLER.
THANK YOU, JUNE.
THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY COULD
BE THE STATE AND WORLD'S NEW
A.I. HUB.
U.K. RECEIVED A NEARLY $1
MILLION GRANT TO FORM THE
(04:51):
RESEARCH EVALUATION.
IT IS AN INTERNATIONAL
INITIATIVE AIMED AT EXPLORING
THE RESPONSIBLE USE OF DATA AND
A.I. IN RESEARCH.
>>> KENTUCKY IS GETTING ANOTHER
$14.4 MILLION TO FIGHT THE
STATE'S OPIOID ADDICTION
PROBLEM.
THE KENTUCKY ATTORNEY GENERAL'S
OFFICE SAYS IT'S FROM ANOTHER
(05:11):
SETTLEMENT WITH OPIOID
MANUFACTURERS.
IT INVOLVES EIGHT COMPANIES.
IN ADDITION TO THE MONEY, THE
COMPANIES WILL FACE RESTRICTIONS
IN PROMOTING AND SELLING
OPIOIDS.
SEVEN VEN OF THE EIGHT COMPANIES
WILL HAVE TO CREATE A MONITORING
SYSTEM THAT WILL FLAG SUSPICIOUS
ORDERS.
ATTORNEY GENERAL RUSSELL COLEMAN
SAID THIS IN RESPONSE TO THE
SETTLE.
(05:31):
QUOTE, WHILE THESE RESOURCES
WON'T FILL THE EMPTY SEATS AT
KENTUCKY DINNER TABLES THEY WILL
HELPFUL PREVENTION, TREATMENT
AND RECOVERY EFFORTS IN OUR
COMMONWEALTH AND HELP SAVE LIVES
FROM THE SCOURGE OF ADDICTION
END QUOTE.
>>> TODAY, THE U.S. SENATE IS
CONSIDERING A SO-CALLED
RESCISSION PACKAGE THAT CUTS
ABOUT $9 BILLION ALREADY
(05:53):
APPROVED FOR FROM THE USAID
PROGRAM AND THE CORPORATION FOR
PUBLIC BROADCASTING WHICH HELPS
FUND KET.
THE HOUSE HAS ALREADY PASSED
THIS PACKAGE.
THE SENATE WAS DEBATING THE
PACKAGE BUT HAD NOT YET TAKEN A
FINAL VOTE AT THE TIME OF OUR
"KENTUCKY EDITION" DEADLINE.
U.S. SENATOR MITCH McCONNELL
OF KENTUCKY WAS ONE OF JUST
(06:13):
THREE REPUBLICANS TO VOTE NO
DURING A KEY PROCEDURAL VOTE
YESTERDAY.
KENTUCKY CONGRESSMAN MORGAN
MCGARVEY OF THE THIRD DISTRICT,
A DEMOCRAT, WHO VOTED NO IN THE
HOUSE SAID THE CUTS WOULD
THREATEN KENTUCKIANS SAFETY BY
ELIMINATING IMPORTANT WEATHER
INFORMATION.
SENATOR McCONNELL SAYS IT IS
AN EXAMPLE OF THE TRUMP
(06:34):
ADMINISTRATION GOING TOO FAR.
>> THEY WOULD LIKE A BLANK CHECK
WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE.
AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S
APPROPRIATE.
>> LOOK AT KENTUCKY WE ARE A
RURAL STATE ALREADY THIS YEAR WE
HAVE HAD 46 EXTREME WEATHER
EVENDS, FLOODS, TORNADOES IN
(06:55):
KENTUCKY.
YOUR LOCAL NEWS STATION DOES NOT
COVER EVERY AREA OF THE STATE.
AND THESE RADIO STATIONS ARE THE
LIFELINE.
THE WAY WE GET ALERTS AND
WARNINGS TO PEOPLE AND WHEN YOU
ARE TALKING ABOUT A TORNADO
COMING DOWN IN WESTERN KENTUCKY
OR EASTERN KENTUCKY GETTING
FLOODED IN-BETWEEN THE
MOUNTAINS, SECONDS MATTER.
THIS ISN'T JUST MINUTES SECONDS
(07:16):
CAN MATTER.
WITH THE EXCEPTIONS OF
McCONNELL AND McGARVEY THE
REST OF THE DELEGATION HAS VOTED
TO MOVE THE RESCISSION BILL
FORWARD.
>>> THIS SUMMER MORE THAN HALF A
MILLION PEOPLE LOST THEIR LEGAL
STATUS TO LIVE AND WORK IN THE
U.S.
SPECIFICALLY, HAITIAN AND LATIN
(07:37):
IMMIGRANTS WHO ARRIVED DURING
THE FINAL YEARS OF THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION.
THE NUMBER IS NOT KNOWN, BUT
MANY SETTLED IN KENTUCKY FINDING
JOBS, SAFETY AND COMMUNITY.
OUR JUNE LEFFLER IS BACK AND SHE
MET WITH ONE MAN FIGHTING TO
STAY IN LOUISVILLE AND WITH
NATURALIZED CITIZENS WHO SEE OUR
IMMIGRATION SYSTEM IN VERY
DIFFERENT LIGHTS.
(07:57):
>> IN 2023 WENLEY MOISE FLED
HAITI FOR LOUISVILLE.
>> I LOVE MY COUNTRY.
BUT THE SITUATION THE REASON WHY
THAT I LEFT, WAS BECAUSE I WAS
IN DANGER.
>> ARMED GANGS CONTROL MUCH OF
THE COUNTRY KILLING AND
KIDNAPPING PEOPLE.
THEY RECRUIT CHILDREN, SOMETHING
(08:19):
MOISE TRIED TO PREVENT WHEN HE
LIVED THERE HIS LAWYER SAYS.
>> HE WAS WORKING AT THE PROGRAM
SAKALA PROVIDING A PATH FOR YUCK
PEOPLE TO STAY OUT OF GANGS AND
BECAUSE OF THAT HE WAS TARGETED
BY THOSE GANGS.
AND HE HAS SEEN THINGS THAT NO
HUMAN SHOULD SEE.
(08:39):
>> NOW, IN LOUISVILLE MOISE IS
WITHOUT HIS FAMILY BUT SAYS THEY
FOR HE IS SAFE.
>> THEY ARE SCARED.
AND THEY ARE IN DANGER EVERYDAY.
AND ME OUT OF HAITI IS, YOU NO,
DECREASING THE WEIGHT ON THEIR
HEART LIKE THINKING THAT
(08:59):
SOMETHING CAN HAPPEN TO ME.
>> HE CAME TO THE U.S. UNDER
HUMANITARIAN PAROLE SOMETHING
FORMER PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN
GRANTED TO FOLKSES FROM HAITI,
CUBA, NICARAGUA, AND VENEZUELA.
PEARL OFFER THE LEGAL RIGHT TO
STAY AND WORK TEMPORARILY.
>> FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ENTERED
ON THE PAROLE PROGRAM THERE WAS
ALWAYS A QUESTION OF WHAT IS
(09:21):
NEXT.
>> PAROLEES WERE GRANTED TWO
YEARS TO STAY BUT DONALD TRUMP
ENDED THE PROGRAM IN MARCH.
THE SUPREME COURT GREEN LIT THAT
MOVE IN JUNE.
>> AND THE NOTICE ON THE FEDERAL
REGISTER SAID IF YOU DONTS HE
AHAVE AN APPLICATION PENDING YOU
ARE A PRIORITY FOR REMOVAL.
>> THAT CREATED PANIC SENDING
(09:43):
MANY PAROLEES INTO HIDING.
>> PICKED UP BY I.C.E. ANYTIME
AND YOUR FAMILY NOT KNOWING
WHERE YOU ARE AND THEN WHAT IS
GOING TO HAPPEN?
>> OUT OF A CHURCH BASEMENT TWO
HAITIAN U.S. BORN CITIZENS IN
LOUISVILLE RUN THE ROUTE A
GRASSROOT EFFORT TO HELP OTHER
HAITIANS, ESPECIALLY THE
(10:04):
NEWCOMERS.
>> ENDING THE PROGRAM HERE, IS
THE LOSS OF EMPLOYMENT STATUS.
WITH PEOPLE LOSING THEIR
EMPLOYMENT STATUS THEY CANNOT
WORK AND NO JOB MAKING NO MONEY
AND PROVIDING FOR THE FAMILY AND
NOT ABLE TO PAY THE BILLS.
>> THEY DESCRIBE THIS CHANGE AS
A STAB IN THE BACK.
>> THE PEOPLE RECEIVED THE
(10:24):
PERMITS FROM THE U.S. GOVERNMENT
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN TO END THEIR
STATUS JUST LIKE THAT RENDERING
THEM ILLEGAL.
THAT KIND OF, I THINK REDUCED
THE CREDIBILITY OF THE U.S.
GOVERNMENT.
>> IT FEELS LIKE WE'RE CATTLE,
ABLE TO BE MOVED WHENEVER.
(10:45):
BEING DISPLACED WHOEVER.
>> NOT ALL IMMIGRANTS ARE UPSET
WITH TRUMP'S HARDLINE APPROACH.
>> I DEFEND MY COMMUNITY, BUT I
DEFEND THE CONTROLLED
IMMIGRATION, THE LEGAL
IMMIGRATION TO THE UNITED
STATES.
>> DARIEN BARRIOS WORKS AT THE
ADULT DAYCARE FOR SPANISH
(11:06):
SPEAKERS.
LOUISVILLE IS HOME TO ONE OF THE
FASTEST GROWING CUBAN
COMMUNITIES IN THE COUNTRY AND
MOST CUBAN-AMERICANS WHO SHOWED
UP TO THE POLLS IN 2024 VOTED
FOR TRUMP.
DARIEN BARRIOS BELIEVES TRUMP IS
TARGETING FRAUD IN THE
IMMIGRATION SYSTEM.
>> IN THE AIRPORT WHEN THEY COME
IN, THE OFFICERS THEY SAY WHO IS
YOUR SPONSOR?
(11:27):
AND THEY SAY I DON'T KNOW.
SO MANY PEOPLE ARE COMING FRAUD
WITH THE PAROLE.
>> WITHOUT CONGRESS ACTING, THE
PRESIDENT MAKES THE IMMIGRATION
RULES.
WHAT WAS LEGAL UNDER BIDEN
SIMPLY ISN'T ANYMORE UNDER
TRUMP.
FOR MOISE, HE AND HIS LAWYER ARE
(11:48):
PURSUING ANOTHER LEGAL AVENUE.
ASYLUM.
>> I LOVE THIS PLACE THAT IS THE
FIRST PLACE I CAME WHEN I CAME
TO THE U.S. AND I FELL IN LOVE
WITH IT.
AND I THINK I WILL STAY IN
LOUISVILLE UNTIL, YOU KNOW,
UNTIL WHAT WILL COME.
>> IF THEIR CASE IS SUCCESSFUL
IT COULD LEAD TO A GREEN CARD
(12:09):
SOMETHING TEMPORARY PAROLE COULD
NEVER GUARANTEE.
FOR "KENTUCKY EDITION" I'M JUNE
LEFFLER.
THANK YOU, JUNE.
THERE'S MORE THAN THE HUMAN
IMPACT OF THIS STORY.
SOME KENTUCKY BUSINESSES ARE
FEELING SQUEEZED.
MORE ON THAT TOMORROW NIGHT ON
"KENTUCKY EDITION."
>>> KENTUCKY STATE POLICE HAVE
IDENTIFIED THE TROOPER INJURED
(12:30):
IN A MASS SHOOTING SUNDAY.
TROOPER JUDE REMILIEN IS A
THREE-YEAR VETERAN OF THE AGENCY
AND IS ASSIGNED TO POST 12.
HE IS FROM HAITI.
TROOPER JUDE REMILIEN WAS SHOT
IN THE LINE OF DUTY OUTSIDE
BLUEGRASS AIRPORT OVER THE
WEEKEND.
THE SUSPECT SHOT AND KILLED A
MOTHER AND DAUGHTER AT RICHMOND
(12:50):
ROAD BAPTIST CHURCH.
TWO MEN AT THE CHURCH WERE ALSO
INJURED.
POLICE THEN SHOT AND KILLED THE
GUNMAN.
KSP SAYS HE CONTINUES TO RECOVER
IN THE HOSPITAL.
[♪♪]
>> I'M LAURA ROGERS WITH
NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO'S RYLAND
(13:11):
BARTON.
AND LET'S BEGIN TODAY WITH A
CHALLENGE TO KENTUCKY'S ABORTION
BAN AND THE COURT OF APPEALS
RULED THAT AT LEAST ONE OF THOSE
WOMEN DOES HAVE THE STANDING TO
CHALLENGE THE BAN MEANING THE
CASE WILL GO BACK TO JEFFERSON
CIRCUIT COURT.
TELL US MORE ABOUT THIS ONE.
>> SHE IS SUING ARGUING THAT THE
(13:32):
BAN VIOLATES HER RELIGIOUS
FREEDOM AND THAT IT WOULD
UNDERCUT HER ABILITY TO UNDERGO
IN-VITRO FERTILIZATION IT COMES
FROM THE LAWSUIT THE LOWER COURT
DISMISSED THE LAWSUIT FILED BY
HER AND TWO JEWISH WOMEN SAID
THE LAW GIVES PREFERENCE
TORIESIAN DEFINITIONS TO LIFE.
(13:53):
AND LAST WEEK THE COURT OF
APPEALS RULED THIS ONE WOMAN,
JESSICA DOES HAVE STANDING TO
SUE OVER THE ABORTION BAN.
SHE HAS NINE EMBRYOS THAT ARE
FROZEN THAT COULD BE IMPLANTED
OR DONATED OR DESTROYED AND THAT
PART IS KEY HERE.
BECAUSE, REMEMBER, LAST YEAR
WHEN IVF CLINICS IN ALABAMA
(14:14):
STOPPED ORVING IVF OUT OF
WORRIES OF DESTROYING EMBRYOS
BECAUSE OF A SUPREME COURT
RULING THERE.
THAT WAS UNTIL THE LEGISLATURE
PASSED A A THAT CLARIFIED THIS
ISSUE.
SHE SAYS THAT KENTUCKY HASN'T
VERIFIED THAT ISSUE AND SHE
CANCELED AN IMPLEMENTATION
BECAUSE SHE WAS AFRAID THE LAW
(14:35):
COULD BE USED AGAINST HER.
RUSSELL COLEMAN ARGUES THAT
KENTUCKY LAW ALREADY PROTECTS
IVF.
AND UNLESS HE APPEALS THIS
PARTICULAR RULING ON STANDING,
TO THE STATE SUPREME COURT THIS
LAWSUIT NOW AS YOU SAID NOW
HEADS BACK TO THE LOWER COURT TO
BE ARGUED JUST WITH THIS ONE
POWERFUL.
>> WHAT IS YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF
(14:57):
HER GOAL IN THIS CASE?
>> WELL, HER ULTIMATE GOAL HERE
AND THE PLAINTIFF'S IN THE
LAWSUIT WAS TO HAVE THE ABORTION
BAN DISMISSED IT'S UNCLEAR AND
VAGUE.
THE LEGISLATURE ATTEMPTED TO
CLARIFY SOME OF THE RULES AND
SHE IS SAYING ESPECIALLY UNDER
IVF IT'S STILL UNCLEAR.
>> AND NOW, MITCH McCONNELL OF
(15:19):
KENTUCKY ALSO A SENIOR MEMBER OF
THE AGRICULTURE COMMITTEE AND HE
IS WORKING TO CLOSE A LOOPHOLE
IN THE FARM BILL LANGUAGE THAT
HE SAYS HAS ALLOWED HEMP DERIVED
THC PRODUCTS TO BE SOLD AND HE
HAS CONCERNS THAT THIS IS
DANGEROUS FOR KIDS.
BUT THEN HE ALSO WANTS TO MAKE
(15:40):
SURE THAT HEMP REMAINS AN
INDUSTRY FOR KENTUCKY FARMERS.
TELL US MORE ABOUT SENATOR
McCONNELL'S EFFORTS.
>> McCONNELL IN 2018 HE
CHAMPIONED THIS FARM BILL
PROVISION IN THE FARM BILL THAT
LEGALIZED HEMP IT ALLOWED STATES
TO REGULATE HEMP.
AND HEMP HAS LOW AMOUNTS OF THC
(16:04):
THE COMPOUND FOUND IN MARIJUANA.
AFTER THAT 2018 FARM BILL PASSED
THIS INDUSTRY POPPED UP OF HEMP
DERIVED THC PRODUCTS DELTA 8,
DELTA 9 AND THEY APPEAR IN
GUMMIES, DRINKS, OILS.
AND ACCORDING TO REPORTING FROM
KENTUCKY PUBLIC RADIO MITCH
McCONNELL WANTS TO CLOSE THAT
(16:26):
LOOPHOLE IN THIS BILL AND WANTS
TO PRESERVE THE ABILITY TO DRO
HEMP.
HEMP IS THE HISTORIC CASH CROP
IN KENTUCKY AND HE SAYS THIS THC
SIDE OF IT WAS AN UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCE OF THE BILL AND
THESE PRODUCTS ARE NOT SAFE AND
THESE ARE CLAIMS THE INDUSTRY
DENIES.
A VERSION OF THIS WHOLE CLOSING
(16:46):
THE LOOPHOLE ISSUE WHICH IS
HEAVILY --
THE INDUSTRY IS WORRIED IT WOULD
UNDERCUT THE HEMP INDUSTRY
BECAUSE ALL HEMP HAS THC AND CBD
PRODUCTS WILL HAVE TRACE AMOUNTS
OF THC THEY ARE WORRIED NO WAY
TO DO AWAY WITH THE THC.
A VERSION OF THE BILL PASSED THE
(17:07):
HOUSE BUT IN THE SENATE VERSION
IT WOULD DELAY ALL OF THESE
PROVISIONS BY A YEAR TO
HOPEFULLY GIVE THE HEMP INDUSTRY
TIME TO CATCH UP.
THEY ARE HOPING TO LOB I AGAINST
IMPLEMENTATION OR SOME CHANGE TO
THE REGULATIONS GOING FORWARD.
THERE IS PLENTY OF NEGOTIATIONS
TO GO EVEN IN THE SENATE PASSES
(17:28):
THIS THEY HAVE TO AGREE TO THE
CHANGES MADE PIE THE SENATE.
>> AND ANOTHER LAWSUIT, A
TRANSGENDER INMATE INCARCERATED
IN NORTHERN KENTUCKY'S BOYLE
COUNTY IS CHALLENGING
LEGISLATION PASSED THIS YEAR
MEANING HER HORMONE THERAPY HAS
TO COME TO AN END.
>> THIS TRANSGENDER WOMAN WHO IS
(17:51):
INCARCERATED IN BOYLE COUNTY IS
SUING OVER THE BILL THAT BANS
HORMONE THERAPY FOR INMATES
WHILE IN CUSTODY.
SHE HAS BEEN RECEIVING HORMONE
THERAPY SINCE 2009 AND HAS BEEN
IN PRISON FOR A MURDER
CONVICTION SINCE 2016.
SHE SAYS THAT THAT BILL VIOLATES
HER 14TH AMENDMENT RIGHT TO
(18:11):
EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW
AND THE 8TH AMENDMENT RIGHT NOT
TO BE CRUELLY AND UNUSUALLY
PUNISHED IT IS A CLASS ACTION
LAWSUIT IT'S INVITING INMATES
ABOUT LOSING HORMONE THERAPY TO
JOIN IN ON THE LAWSUIT.
RUSSELL COLEMAN SAYS HE IS GOING
TO DEFEND THE LAW AND TAXPAYERS
SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS
(18:31):
TREATMENT AND THE LEGISLATURE'S
LAW SHOULD STAND.
>> HAS THERE BEEN RESPONSE FROM
DOCTORS WHEN THEY ARE ASKED
ABOUT STOPPING HORMONE THERAPY?
>> WELL, DOCTORS SAY THAT
CUTTING OFF TREATMENT CAN CAUSE
PHYSICAL HARM, AND PSYCHOLOGICAL
HARM SOMETHING ELSE ANOTHER
DETAIL ON THIS IS STATE
OFFICIALS SAY THERE ARE 67
(18:53):
INMATES IN KENTUCKY RIGHT NOW
WHO HAVE BEEN RECEIVING HORMONE
THERAPY WHO WON'T BE ABLE TO
UNDER THIS LAW.
>> RYLAND BARTON WE THANK YOU
FOR YOUR TIME AND SEE YOU AGAIN
NEXT WEEK.
>> THANKS, LAURA.
[♪♪]
(19:15):
BUFFALO TRACE
DISTILLERY AND MERIDIAN BIOTECH
ARE FINDING NEW USES FOR GRAINS
HIGH IN PROTEIN, LEFTOVER FROM
THE BREWING PROCESS.
THE PARTNERSHIP WILL CREATE
DOZENS OF JOBS IN IN FRANKLIN
COUNTYISM WE ARE AN INDUSTRIAL
BIOTECH COMPANY WE PROCESS BUY
(19:36):
PRODUCTS FROM DISTILLERIES INTO
MULTIFUNCTIONAL INGREDIENTS AND
ALTERNATIVE PROTEINS FOR
SPECIFIC INDUSTRIES, PET FOOD,
AQUACULTURE AND WE HAVE A
FERTILIZER PRODUCT AS WELL.
>> SPECIFICALLY IN THE PET FOOD
AND AQUACULTURE WHAT WE'RE
TRYING TO DO IS PROVIDE CLEAN
LABEL INGREDIENTS SO THEY ARE
(19:58):
MULTIFUNCTIONAL INGREDIENTS THEY
HELP FROM A PROTEIN ASPECT OUR
CUSTOMERS ARE LOOKING FOR THAT
AS SOMETHING ALTERNATIVE THAT IS
MORE SUSTAINABLE.
SO WE'RE TRYING TO PROVIDE
SOMETHING AS A CLEAN LABEL
INGREDIENT INSTEAD OF WHAT THEY
ARE USING CURRENTLY.
>> THIS IS A PARTNERSHIP THAT'S
BEEN CULMINATED OVER A FEW
(20:20):
YEARS.
WE STARTED OUT WITH SOME TESTING
OF SOME OF OUR SPENT GRAINS AND
EXPERIMENTING AND THROUGH THE
YEARS AS THEY HAVE DETERMINED
THAT THIS IS SUCCESSFUL AND
CREATES GOOD PRODUCTS, THEN
WE'VE EXPANDED THAT OVER THE
(20:41):
YEARS.
WE BRING IN ALL OF OUR RAW
INGREDIENTS OUR GRAINS AND THEN
WE FOREMEANT THOSE GRAINS AND WE
RUN IT THROUGH OUR STILL.
AND THEN WE SEPARATE THE GRAINS
FROM THE ALCOHOL.
AND THOSE GRAINS THAT HAVE BEEN
SEPARATED WE CALL THEM SPENT
(21:02):
GRAINS AND THOSE ARE THE GRAINS
THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING
WITH.
WE HAVE A SYSTEM HERE WHERE WE
DRY ALL THE GRAINS INTO A
COMPONENT IN FEED FOR CATTLE OR
POULTRY OR DOG FOOD OR WHATEVER
THEY WANT TO USE IT FOR.
HIGH PROTEIN AND WE DRY THAT
THROUGH OUR DRY HOUSES WE HAVE
(21:23):
ON-SITE.
THE PARTNERSHIP HELPS US,
BECAUSE IT GIVES US ANOTHER
AVENUE FOR OUR SPENT GRAINS SO
CURRENTLY, 100% GETS DRIED INTO
THE FEED AND VERSUS WE WILL BE
ABLE TO HAVE ANOTHER STREAM AND
UTILIZE THE FEED FOR OTHER
PRODUCTS.
>> WE'RE LOOKING AT
APPROXIMATELY 35 HIGH TECH
(21:44):
PAYING JOBS.
SO WE'RE GOING TO BE BRINGING IN
CERTAIN ENGINEERS AND, YOU KNOW,
BIOPROCESS SCIENTISTS AS WELL AS
WE ARE GOING TO BE COLLABORATING
WITH KENTUCKY STATE WITH THE
ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT,
INTERNSHIPS.
SO WE WANT TO BRING THAT
TOGETHER AS WE COME HERE TO
FRANKFORT.
(22:07):
CONSTRUCTION ON THE
$40 MILLION FACILITY WILL BEGIN
NEXT YEAR.
OFFICIALS SAY IT WILL TAKE 10
MONTHS TO A YEAR TO COMPLETE.
[♪♪]
FRAZZELL GUITARS HAS BEEN
(22:27):
STRUMMING ALONG SINCE 2021 IN
DANIELLE.
BRANDON EDWARDS CREATES GUITARS
FROM SCRATCH AND REPAIRS BROKEN
INSTRUMENTS.
HE MADE A GUITAR FOR ALEX MILLER
A KENTUCKIAN FROM LANCASTER WHO
WAS ON "AMERICAN IDOL" IN 2021.
WE SAT DOWN WITH EDWARDS TO HEAR
MORE ABOUT HIS BUSINESS, IN THIS
(22:50):
SEGMENT WE CALL TAPESTRY.
>> WE ARE FULL SERVICE LIKE A
HOSPITAL HERE.
I WAS 25, 24 YEARS OLD WHEN I
STARTED THIS PLACE.
AND I MEAN IT'S BEEN A
ROLLERCOASTER OF EMOTIONS.
IT'S NEVER EASY.
ESPECIALLY BEING A YOUNG
BUSINESS OWNER.
IT'S REALLY HARD A LOT OF PEOPLE
YOU START OUT COMING HERE EXPECT
TO SEE SOMEBODY OLDER AND THEY
(23:11):
SEE A YOUNG GUY DOING THIS LIKE
WOW.
YOU KNOW, I STARTED THIS ON MY
OWN.
NOBODY FINANCED IT BUT ME.
I SAVED UP MONEY WHEN I LIVED IN
NASHVILLE AND PRETTY MUCH COME
BACK AND STARTED MY DREAM.
I WENT TO SCHOOL AT MUSICIANS
ACADEMY FOR BUILDING GUITARS AND
BECAME A BUILDER AND REPAIR MAN
(23:32):
AND GOT ME A JOB WORKING FOR
GIBSON CUSTOM SHOP.
THEY SAID YOU NEED TO START YOUR
OWN THING I WANTED TO COME BACK
AND BE IN MY COMMUNITY AND BE
CLOSE TO MY FAMILY.
I GIVE KENTUCKY ARTISTS THE
FIRST CHANCE.
THESE ARE THE CATS GOING OUT,
PLAYING AND DOING, AND THEY ARE
GIVING THEIR HEART AND SOUL FOR
(23:52):
SOMETHING AND THEY DON'T KNOW IF
THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE IT OR
NOT.
EVERYTHING THAT COMES OUT OF
HERE GETS ATTENTION.
>> PEOPLE TEND TO FORGET THE
LITTLE GUY ESPECIALLY WHEN IT
COMES TO THINGS LIKE INSTRUMENTS
EVERYBODY GOES FOR THE BIGGER
NAMES AND TEND TO FORGET THAT
YOU CAN FIND A VERY HIGH QUALITY
CRAFTED INSTRUMENT RIGHT HERE IN
YOUR HOMETOWN.
(24:13):
>> EVERY GUITAR COME OUT OF HERE
NONE ARE THE SAME.
EACH ONE ARE UNIQUE AND HAVE
THEIR OWN IDENTITY.
SOMETHING ABOUT THEM AND IT'S
WHATEVER I FEEL ON MY HEART
WHATEVER INSPIRATION AT THAT
TIME WHATEVER I'M THINKING AND
SEEING AND 99% OF THE TIME
PEOPLE ASK ME TO COME UP WITH
(24:33):
SOMETHING THEY DON'T KNOW AND I
COME UP WITH SOMETHING AND IT'S
LIKE WOW YOU HIT IT OUT OF THE
PARK.
I WASN'T THINKING ABOUT ANYTHING
AND YOU HIT EVERYTHING I WANTED.
IT'S ABOUT GETTING TO KNOW THE
PEOPLE.
YOU RESEARCH THEM AND TALK TO
THEM FOR A WHILE AND GET INSIDE
THEIR HEAD AND WHAT THEY LIKE
AND DON'T LIKE AND STUFF LIKE
THAT.
WE FIX IT AND GET IT BACK OUT
(24:55):
THE DOOR, THEY ARE TRUSTING ME
TO GET THAT GUITAR BACK AND
BRING IN DIFFERENT STUFF AND
STORY.
THIS GUY HAS BEEN PLAYING MUSIC
HIS WHOLE LIFE AND HE TOOK IT ON
THE ROAD AND HE GETS THE GUITAR
BACK IT IS A STORY.
FIXING IT AND GETTING IT
PLAYABLE SO HE CAN GET BACK ON
THE ROAD TO TELL HIS STORY AGAIN
(25:16):
AND THAT CONNECTION AND MAKING
SURE IT'S BEYOND.
IF I FIX A GUITAR I WANT TO SEE
THE WORK I FIXED.
>> MUSIC IS GOOD FOR YOUR BRAIN.
IT'S REALLY GOOD FOR EXPRESSION
AND, I THINK, THAT HAVING A
PLACE LIKE THIS HELPS FOSTER
THAT CONNECTION WITHIN PEOPLE
AND IT HELPS BRING MUSIC MORE TO
(25:37):
THE FOREFRONT.
>> IT'S GOOD TO HAVE A LOT OF
COMMUNITY SUPPORT.
A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW
DANVILLE IS THE OLDEST CITY IN
THE STATE OF KENTUCKY AND THESE
PEOPLE HAVE BECOME MORE THAN
CUSTOMERS THEY BECOME A PART OF
YOUR LIFE THEY ARE FAMILY.
AND THE FAMILY IS LIKE WHEN I
WALK THROUGH THE DOOR YOU
KICKOFF YOUR SHOES LIKE
GRANDMA'S HOUSE.
EVERYTHING ON THE WALLS THE
(25:59):
MEMORABILIA IT IS A STATEMENT OF
ME, WHAT I LIKE AND WHAT I DO.
I TRY TO PUT FORWARD AND GIVE
BACK TO THE COMMUNITY.
>> PEOPLE ARE REALLY GRAVITATING
TOWARDS INSTRUMENTS AND WHEN YOU
PLAY THEM, IT'S A SPECIAL THING.
LIKE I SAID THIS THING IS LIKE A
THIRD ARM FOR ME.
LIKE IT'S JUST ANOTHER PART OF
ME.
AND PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO HAVE
(26:20):
THAT SAME CONNECTION WITH HIS
INSTRUMENTS.
FRAZZELL GUITARS IS
MORE THAN JUST A GUITAR REPAIR
SHOP IT HAS A RECORDING STUDIO
WHERE YOU CAN CREATE AND RECORD
YOUR OWN SONGS WITH THE HELP OF
PROFESSIONALS.
YOU CAN TAKE A LESSONS CLASS AND
A PROGRAM CALLED NO KID WITHOUT
A GUITAR WHERE YOU CAN DONATE
(26:42):
GUITARS FOR YOUTH IN THE
COMMUNITY.
THAT WILL DO IT FOR US TONIGHT
WE HOPE TO SEE YOU TOMORROW
NIGHT AT 6:30 EASTERN 5:30
CENTRAL FOR "KENTUCKY EDITION"
