(01:01):
>> GOOD EVENING, AND WELCOME TO
KENTUCKY EDITION FOR JULY 18TH.
I'M RENEE SHAW.
THANKS FOR JOINING US.
IT'S DONE.
CONGRESS HAS CUT FUNDING FOR
SOME FOREIGN AID PROGRAMS...
AND PUBLIC TELEVISION AND RADIO.
THE FINAL VOTE IN THE U.S. HOUSE
CAME EARLY THIS MORNING.
(01:22):
THE SO-CALLED RESCISSION BILL
CUTS NINE BILLION DOLLARS
ALREADY APPROPRIATED BY
CONGRESS.
THAT INCLUDES MONEY FOR THE
CORPORATION FOR PUBLIC
BROADCASTING.
WHICH HELPS FUND KET
CRITICS OF THE CUT SAY PUBLIC
RADIO AND TV PLAY A VITAL ROLE
IN BRINGING EMERGENCY WEATHER
INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC.
HERE'S CONGRESSMAN MORGAN
MCGARVEY, A DEMOCRAT FROM
(01:42):
KENTUCKY'S THIRD DISTRICT,
BEFORE THE VOTE.
>> EVERYONE IN KENTUCKY IS
IMPACTED BY SEVERE WEATHER AND
WE KNOW SOMEONE HAS BEEN A
VICTIM OF A FLOOD OR TORNADO.
THIS WEEK THE SENATE PASSED
DONALD TRUMP'S PROPOSED CUTS.
SECONDS MATTER FOR GETTING YOUR
(02:03):
FAMILY TO SAFETY.
LOCAL TV STATIONS DON'T REACH
WHERE YOU ARE.
THIS IS THE SYSTEM THAT SAVES
FAMILYS' LIVES.
THE HOUSE CAN STOP IT THEY CAN
STAND UP FOR OUR RURAL NEIGHBORS
BY STANDING UP TO DONALD TRUMP
AND VOTING NO.
MCGARVEY WAS THE ONLY KENTUCKY
CONGRESSMAN TO VOTE NO.
(02:24):
CONGRESSMAN ANDY BARR, FROM THE
SIXTH DISTRICT, POSTED THIS
TODAY.
"LAST NIGHT, I VOTED FOR NINE
BILLION DOLLARS IN TRUMP DOGE
CUTS. THIS IS JUST THE
BEGINNING -- I'M WORKING WITH
PRESIDENT TRUMP TO CUT MORE
WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE FROM THE
DC SWAMP.
WE'RE READY FOR EVEN MORE
RESCISSIONS PACKAGES!"
(02:46):
ALREADY, A LOT OF MONEY IS
FLOWING INTO CAMPAIGNS FOR NEXT
YEAR'S ELECTIONS.
IN KENTUCKY'S SIXTH DISTRICT
RACE, FORMER STATE
REPRESENTATIVE CHERLYNN
STEVENSON IS OUT-PACING DAVID
KLOIBER, A FORMER LEXINGTON
COUNCILMEMBER.
SHE HAS ABOUT 30-THOUSAND
DOLLARS MORE CASH ON HAND. BOTH
ARE DEMOCRATS.
CONGRESSMAN THOMAS MASSIE HAS
(03:08):
ALSO STOCKPILED NEARLY TWO
MILLION DOLLARS FOR HIS
REELECTION CAMPAIGN, DESPITE HIS
PUBLIC CLASHES WITH PRESIDENT
TRUMP.
KENTUCKY'S FOURTH DISTRICT
CONGRESSMAN WAS ONE OF TWO HOUSE
REPUBLICANS TO VOTE AGAINST
TRUMP'S MASSIVE TAX BILL.
HE ALSO CRITICIZED THE PRESIDENT
FOR BOMBING IRANIAN NUCLEAR
SITES WITHOUT CONGRESSIONAL
APPROVAL.
MEANWHILE, A NEW POLITICAL
(03:30):
FUNDRAISING ARM RUN BY TRUMP
INSIDERS CALLED MAGA KENTUCKY IS
DEVOTED TO DEFEATING MASSIE IN
NEXT YEAR'S PRIMARY.
THE GROUP HAS ALREADY SPENT MORE
THAN A MILLION DOLLARS ON ADS
ATTACKING MASSIE.
BUT THEY'VE YET TO ENDORSE A
CANDIDATE.
I'LL TALK ABOUT THE U.S. SENATE
FUNDRAISING NUMBERS WITH TREY
GRAYSON AND BOB BABBAGE DURING
OUR 'INSIDE KENTUCKY POLITICS'
(03:52):
SEGMENT, IN JUST A FEW MINUTES.
>> THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION SAYS IT WILL RELEASE
SOME OF THE SIX BILLION DOLLARS
IN GRANT MONEY PREVIOUSLY
WITHHELD FROM PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
IN FREEZING THE FUNDS, THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION SAID IT WANTED TO
MAKE SURE THE PROGRAMS BEING
FUNDED ALIGN WITH THE
PRESIDENT'S PRIORITIES.
A SENIOR ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL
(04:14):
TOLD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A
REVIEW OF SOME OF THE PROGRAMS
IS NOW COMPLETE.
ABOUT ONE BILLION DOLLARS WILL
BE RELEASED TO THE STATES.
A REVIEW OF THE REMAINING
PROGRAMS CONTINUES.
THE DECISION COMES JUST DAYS
AFTER TEN REPUBLICAN SENATORS,
INCLUDING MITCH MCCONNELL OF
KENTUCKY, URGED THE FEDERAL
BUDGET DIRECTOR TO RELEASE THE
FUNDS.
THE LETTER SAID,
(04:35):
"WE SHARE YOUR CONCERN ABOUT
TAXPAYER MONEY GOING TO FUND
RADICAL LEFT-WING PROGRAMS.
HOWEVER, WE DO NOT BELIEVE THAT
IS HAPPENING WITH THESE FUNDS."
CONGRESSMAN MCGARVEY ALSO SENT A
LETTER THIS WEEK, CALLING THE
MOVE ILLEGAL AND WRONG.
HE ADDED, "SUCH SUDDEN AND
ARBITRARY FREEZES DISRUPT THE
BUDGETING PROCESS FOR THE WHOLE
(04:56):
SCHOOL YEAR.
INJECTING VOLATILITY AND
UNCERTAINTY AS STUDENTS ARE SET
TO RETURN TO SCHOOL IN A FEW
WEEKS."
ON MONDAY, GOVERNOR ANDY BESHEAR
JOINED MORE THAN 20 STATES IN
SUING THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
OVER THE FROZEN FUNDS.
ABOUT 87 MILLION DOLLARS ARE
EARMARKED FOR KENTUCKY SCHOOLS.
(05:16):
>> THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY
SAYS IT'S REMOVED SOMEONE FROM
TEACHING OVER AN ONLINE
PETITION.
UK SAYS THAT PETITION CAN BE
INTERPRETED AS ANTI-SEMITIC,
BASED ON STATE AND FEDERAL
GUIDELINES.
THE LEXINGTON HERALD-LEADER SAYS
THE PETITION CALLS FOR THE
DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL.
THE NEWSPAPER IDENTIFIES THE
PROFESSOR AS RASMI WOODCOCK.
(05:38):
PRESIDENT ELI CAPILOUTO SAYS AN
OUTSIDE THIRD PARTY WILL REVIEW
THIS INCIDENT.
>> RAIN THIS WEEKEND COULD BE
MORE THAN AN INCONVENIENCE.
WITH HEAVY DOWNPOURS IN THE
FORECAST, THE RISK OF FLASH
FLOODING IS A MAJOR CONCERN
ACROSS THE STATE.
CHRISTIE DUTTON SPOKE TO A
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE
METEOROLOGIST TO FIND OUT WHAT
TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND AND WHO
IS MOST AT RISK.
(06:07):
>> MIKE WITH THE NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE IN LOUISVILLE.
I SAW RAIN AND FLOODING
YESTERDAY AND AS WE LOOK AT THE
WEEKEND FORECAST WE COULD BE
SEEING MORE OF THE SAME.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
WE HAVE A STATIONARY FRONT THAT
IS HANGING AROUND TODAY AND THIS
WEEKEND AND THERE IS A LOT OF
MOISTURE THAT WILL BRING THE
HEAVY RAIN FOR US.
>> AND WE HAVE A RISK FOR
(06:29):
EXCESSIVE RAIN FALL THIS
WEEKEND.
WHO IS UNDER THAT RISK?
WHERE DOES IT LOOK LIKE THE
HAZARDS COULD BE IN OUR STATE?
>> ANY PART OF KENTUCKY, BUT
ESPECIALLY THE EASTERN PART OF
THE STATE COULD SEE SOME OF THAT
EXCESSIVE RAINFALL.
WE HAVE A RISK FOR AT LEAST 15%
CHANCE FOR FLASH FLOODING TO
OCCUR IN ANY ONE COUNTY.
IT IS NOT ZERO.
(06:50):
YOU CAN SEE THAT FLASH FLOODING
RISK THERE.
THE EAST BUT, REALLY, ANYWHERE
IN KENTUCKY ON SATURDAY NEEDS TO
BE WEATHER AWARE.
>> AND HOW MUCH RAIN ARE WE
TALKING FOR AREAS?
I KNOW IT VARIES HOW MUCH CAN
CAUSE PROBLEMS, BUT WHAT IS THAT
EXCESSIVE RAINFALL?
CAN YOU PUT A NUMBER TO IT?
>> AN ADDITIONAL 1-3 INCHES OF
(07:13):
RAINFALL FOR THE REST OF THE
WEEKEND ON TOP OF AREAS THAT
RECEIVED THAT MUCH RAINFALL.
IT'S A COMPLEX SCENARIO OF HOW
MUCH RAIN HAS FALLEN AND THE
SOIL MOISTURE AND ADDITIONAL
RAINFALL COMING.
ALL THAT GOES INTO OUR FORECAST
THAT WE COULD SEE THAT EXCESSIVE
RAINFALL RISK AND FLASH FLOODING
THAT COULD OCCUR RAPIDLY.
(07:34):
>> COULD WE SEE MORE FLOOD
WATCHES, WARNINGS THIS WEEKEND?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
A WATCH MEANS IT'S POSSIBLE.
A WARNING MEANS IT'S HAPPENING.
WHEN YOU GET THAT WARNING HAVE
YOUR FAVORITE APPS FROM YOUR
LOCAL STATIONS OR IF SOMETHING
LIKE THAT ON YOUR PHONE AND BE
WEATHER AWARE.
KEEP AN EYE ON THE RADAR AND
(07:54):
KNOW WHEN THE RAIN IS COMING
YOUR WAY BECAUSE IT CAN HAPPEN
QUICKLY.
>> IF SOMEBODY IS OUT CAMPING
DOESN'T HAVE GOOD CELLPHONE
RECEPTION HOW DO THEY STAY SAFE?
>> A WEATHER RADIO ALWAYS
ON-LINE, BATTERY OPERATED.
WHEN YOUR CELLPHONE DOESN'T
(08:15):
WORK, WEATHER RADIO GO TO YOUR
LOCAL STORE AND PICK ONE UP.
>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXPERTISE.
MIKE FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE IN LOUISVILLE.
THANK YOU, CHRISTIE
DUTTON.
>> THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE
WOULD LIKE TO REMIND EVERYONE TO
TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN.
ACCORDING TO THE CDC, MOST
FLOOD-RELATED DEATHS OCCUR WHEN
(08:35):
A VEHICLE IS DRIVEN THROUGH A
FLOODED ROAD.
>> KENTUCKY IS SUING TEMU, A
CHINESE ONLINE SHOPPING
PLATFORM.
ATTORNEY GENERAL RUSSELL COLEMAN
SAYS TEMU IS SELLING COUNTERFEIT
ITEMS THAT APPEAR TO BE RELATED
TO SOME OF KENTUCKY'S BEST-KNOWN
PRODUCTS AND ICONS.
THESE INCLUDE BUFFALO TRACE
DISTILLERY, CHURCHILL DOWNS, THE
(08:57):
UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY, AND THE
UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE.
THE LAWSUIT ALSO SAYS TEMU IS
ILLEGALLY COLLECTING PEOPLE'S
DATA WITHOUT THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND
PERMISSION.
THE SUIT CLAIMS TEMU IS USING
UNDERAGE WORKERS IN VIOLATION OF
U.S. TRADE POLICIES.
IN A STATEMENT, COLEMAN SAYS
TEMU CAN INFECT KENTUCKIANS'
DEVICES WITH MALWARE.
(09:17):
IT CAN SEND KENTUCKIANS'
PERSONAL DATA TO THE CHINESE
GOVERNMENT.
>> THE CITY OF LEXINGTON IS
PLANNING TO HOLD A VIGIL
FOLLOWING A DEADLY MASS
SHOOTING.
POLICE SAY GUY HOUSE INJURED A
KSP TROOPER NEAR BLUE GRASS
AIRPORT ON SUNDAY.
HE THEN KILLED TWO WOMEN AND
INJURED TWO MEN AT RICHMOND ROAD
BAPTIST CHURCH.
(09:37):
HOUSE WAS THEN SHOT AND KILLED
BY POLICE.
MAYOR LINDA GORTON'S OFFICE SAYS
THE VIGIL WILL TAKE PLACE
TUESDAY AT 6 P.M. AT THE
COURTHOUSE PLAZA.
SHE WILL BE JOINED BY
LEXINGTON'S POLICE CHIEF,
COMMUNITY PARTNERS, AND FAITH
LEADERS.
[♪♪]
TIME TO GO INSIDE KENTUCKY
(09:58):
POLITICS AND TALK ABOUT MAJOR
POLITICAL DEVELOPMENTS AND WE
HAVE OUR FRIENDS AND KET
COMMENTATORS WITH US.
TREY GRAYSON ON SCREEN LEFT AND
BOB BABBAGE ON SCREEN RIGHT.
GET THE BAND BACK TOGETHER AGAIN
WE HAVE HAD A HIATUS HERE.
LET'S START WITH THE U.S. SENATE
RACE AND WE LEARNED TODAY
(10:19):
THROUGH REPORTING IN THE
KENTUCKY LANTERN ABOUT ANDY
BARR'S FUNDRAISING MACHINE HE IS
HE'S GOT 6.1 MILLION ON HAND AS
OF JUNE 30TH.
DANIEL CAMERON HAS $532,000 ON
HAND.
SO IS BARR JUST A FUNDRAISING
MACHINE?
AND WHAT IS DANIEL CAMERON
(10:40):
DOING?
HOW WOULD YOU CONTEXTUALIZE THIS
FOR US, TREY GRAYSON?
>> BARR IS A FUND RAISING
MACHINE.
OF THE RALLY OF THE RACES HE
NEEDS IT.
HE IS WELL-KNOWN IN THE SIXTH
DISTRICT CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND A
LITTLE BIT IN THE FIFTH DISTRICT
A LOT OF THE FOLKS WATCH
LEXINGTON MEDIA SO THEY WOULD
HAVE PICKED UP ON ANDY BARR BUT
(11:01):
HE IS NOT WELL-KNOWN IN THE REST
OF THE STATE.
HE NEEDS MORE MONEY THAN DANIEL
CAMERON FOR THIS RACE.
BUT IT SHOWS THAT BARR IS
PUTTING THE MONEY IN HE HAS HIGH
PROFILE DONORS ACROSS THE
COUNTRY AND THE STATE.
CAMERON WENT DOWN FROM QUARTER
ONE TO QUARTER TWO THOUGH HE HAD
A FULL QUARTER TO RAISE MONEY IT
IS A DISAPPOINTING QUARTER.
(11:22):
THE RACE IS NOT OVER AND TODAY
CAMERON WOULD WIN BECAUSE PEOPLE
KNOW HIM BETTER.
WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING IT'S CLEAR
BARR HAS MOMENTUM AND IT WILL
HELP HIM ATTRACT MORE
CONTRIBUTIONS, MORE VOLUNTEERS,
MORE ENDORSEMENTS AS HE IS
CRISSCROSSING THE STATE TO
INTRODUCE HIMSELF TO PEOPLE.
(11:42):
BOB BABBAGE WHAT DOES
DANIEL CAMERON NEED TO DO BETTER
AT THIS JUNCTURE.
>> HE NEEDS TO RAISE A MILLION
DOLLARS OVER THIS NEXT PERIOD
FOR SURE.
AND MAKE AN IMPACT WITH THE
MONEY EVEN THOUGH THIS
POPULARITY IS SIGNIFICANT.
EVERY REPUBLICAN OF ANY STANDING
ON A LOCAL COMMITTEE OR ACTIVIST
MET DANIEL CAMERON OVER THE LAST
SEVERAL YEARS.
(12:03):
HE DOES HAVE THAT EDGE.
YOU STILL HAVE TO FUND THE RACE.
IT IS A SMALL BUSINESS YOU HAVE
TO FUND IT AND EXECUTE THE
SPENDING RIGHT.
AND REACH OTHER PLACES THAT GIVE
YOU A CHANCE TO WIN.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY POLLS RIGHT
NOW.
ALTHOUGH WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE
THE NUMBERS.
WE HAVE SPENDING REPORTS POLLS
(12:26):
HAVE LARGE ROOM FOR ERRORS AND
SPENDING REPORTS WENT TO THE
PENNY.
WHEN YOU SEE THE NUMBERS THEY
DEFINITELY BUILD THE NOTION THAT
BARR IS AHEAD.
PEOPLE WANT TO BE FOR THE WINNER
AND RIGHT NOW TO HAVE A 12-1
LEAD IN FUND RAISING MONEY ON
HAND IS A BIG, BIG BREAK FOR
BARR.
I WANT TO HAVE YOU
(12:46):
RESPOND TO SOMETHING TREY SAID
ABOUT ANDY BARR NAME RECOGNITION
COMPARED TO DANIEL CAMERON,
DANIEL CAMERON IS NOT ON THE
SCENE AND ANDY BARR IS IN THE
HEADLINES AND MAKING NEWS AND
PART OF PIVOTAL VOTES IN
WASHINGTON COULD YOU SQUARE WHY
MAYBE BARR NEEDS TO HAVE MORE
NAME RECOGNITION BUILDUP NOT
(13:08):
DANIEL CAMERON NOT IN THE
POLITICAL SPACE AS ACTIVELY AS
BARR IS.
>> WE TALK ABOUT POLITICAL
LEADERS LIKE WE KNOW THEM BUT I
DON'T KNOW BARR AS WELL AS RAND
PAUL OR MITCH McCONNELL.
BECAUSE OF THE FACT THEY ARE
STATE-WIDE.
HE HAS A GREAT MEDIA MARKET IN
CENTRAL KENTUCKY THAT GOES
BEYOND CENTRAL KENTUCKY THAT
(13:28):
HELPS HIM GET STARTED.
BUT GO TO ALLEN COUNTY, THESE
ARE PLACES WHERE DANIEL CAMERON
PROBABLY MADE A STOP AND
PROBABLY KNOWS PEOPLE AND HAS
MADE THE PITCH BEFORE AND HIS
LIKABILITY HAS COME ACROSS.
TO CATCH UP WITH THEM ON NAME
YOU HAVE TO OUTSPEND HIM OR
FIGURE OUT SOME WAY TO DO THAT.
TO BE IN CONGRESS AND TO RUN FOR
(13:49):
STATE-WIDE OFFICE IS VERY
CHALLENGING.
BECAUSE YOU ARE HERE ALL THE
TIME.
CAMERON IS HERE.
HE CAN WORK THE CALL ALL DAY AND
GO TO AN EVENT AT NIGHT.
THAT IS THE MAKEUP OF THIS.
BARR IS GETTING AROUND TALKED
ABOUT HOW HE MADE THE FOURTH OF
JULY PARADES AND VOTED IN
WASHINGTON AND KEPT THE
(14:10):
MOMENTUM.
WE HAVE ANOTHER NAME
TO MENTION, TREY GRAYSON AND
THAT IS NATE MORRIS, A WEALTHY
BUSINESSMAN AND HE DID NOT
REGISTER HIS CAMPAIGN WITH THE
ELECTION COMMISSION UNTIL JULY
FIRST.
SO HE DIDN'T HAVE TO REPORT.
BUT DO WE KNOW HOW MUCH HE COULD
BRING TO THE TABLE WHEN IT COMES
TO FINANCIAL COFFERS FOR HIS
CAMPAIGN?
>> MORRIS HAS SOMETHING THE
(14:31):
OTHER TWO DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY
TO PUT HIS OWN MONEY INTO THE
RACE.
IT IS NOT CLEAR HOW MUCH HE
COULD PUT IN BUT HE COULD PUT
SIX, SEVEN FIGURES OF HIS OWN
MONEY IN AND HE IS CONNECTED
WITH THE VICE-PRESIDENT AND DON,
JR.
THE OFFICIAL ROLL OUT WE HAVE
BEEN TALKING AS A CANDIDATE BUT
(14:53):
HE HAD ELIZABETHTOWN ON BULLIT
COUNTY, CHARLIE KIRK IN THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY WHO FOUNDED
TURNING POINT WAS THERE AND HAD
A LARGE CROWD.
MORRIS WILL BE A FACTOR HE
SHOULD HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO
COMPETE.
IF BARR HAS NAME RECOGNITION
CHALLENGES, MORRIS HAS IT
(15:13):
EVERYWHERE.
BUT THAT IS SMALL BUSINESS YOU
FUND THE CAMPAIGN FOR DONORS
THROUGH YOUR OWN MONEY AND THEN
YOU DUKE IT OUT WITH YOUR
MESSAGING.
LET'S TALK ABOUT
ANOTHER RACE AND THIS IS THE
SIXTH DISTRICT RACE WHICH BARR
IS FORFEITING THAT SEAT TO RUN
FOR U.S. SENATE.
AND WE HAVE A NEW NAME THAT IS
FAMILIAR TO MOST OF US.
(15:34):
AND THAT IS RALPH ALVARADO WHO
WAS A STATE SENATOR, LIEUTENANT
GOVERNOR CANDIDATE AND WAS UP
UNTIL THIS WEEK, THE
COMMISSIONER OF HEALTH FOR
TENNESSEE.
AND WE HAD INTERVIEWED HIM A FEW
WEEKS AGO THERE FOR THE RX
SUMMIT IN NASHVILLE.
NOW HE'S GETTING INTO THE RACE.
ARE YOU SURPRISED BY THIS, BOB
BABBAGE?
>> HEARD RUMBLINGS OF THIS BUT
(15:55):
DIDN'T THINK IT WOULD HAPPEN.
IT HAS.
HE IS GETTING A LOT OF
ATTENTION.
THAT RACE CHANGED A LOT IN THE
LAST FEW DAYS.
ALVARADO HAS NOT BEEN IN A PLACE
TO RAISE MONEY BUT A CHALLENGER
HAS BEEN AND PUT $60,000 OF HIS
FUNDS IN AND RAISED 30, 40,000
ON TOP OF IT.
WE ONLY VOTE IN SIX ELECTIONS
(16:17):
EVERY FOUR YEARS AND THAT IS
THREE PRIMARIES AND THREE
GENERALS IT FEELS LIKE WE'RE
RUNNING THIS YEAR.
I HAVE PEOPLE ASKING ARE WE
VOTING THIS NOVEMBER.
BUT IT FEELS LIKE IT BECAUSE
THEY ARE SEEING SO MUCH AND
HEARING SO MUCH.
WHAT DO YOU SAY, TREY?
>> I TEXTED WITH RALPH WHEN I
FIRST HEARD THE NEWS LAST WEEK
(16:38):
THAT HE MIGHT BE LOOKING AT THE
RACE IT WAS CLEAR HE WAS SERIOUS
ABOUT IT.
I CAN DO MORE FOR HEALTHCARE IN
THE CONGRESS AND HE MAINTAINS
TIES IN KENTUCKY THOUGH HE HAD
BEEN IN TENNESSEE.
IT IS NOT A SURPRISE YOU
INTERVIEWED HIM THAT HE WANTED
TO BE INTERVIEWED BY KET.
PROBABLY BEFORE HE WAS THINKING
ABOUT RUNNING.
HE MAINTAINED HIS RESIDENCY AND
(16:59):
STILL HAS A MEDICAL PRACTICE IN
CLARK COUNTY.
I THINK HE IS THE FAVORITE IN
THE RACE NOT AS WELL-KNOWN AS A
STATE SENATOR AS A MEMBER OF
GIVEN THE SIZE OF THE DISTRICT
RELATIVE TO HIS DISTRICT BUT HE
WAS A LEADER IN THE KENTUCKY
STATE SENATE AND MATT BEVIN'S
RUNNING MATE THAT ALLOWED HIM TO
MEET MORE PEOPLE.
HE IS CONSIDERED A HEALTH POLICY
(17:21):
EXPERT AND HE IMMEDIATELY
SECURED THE ENDORSEMENT OF DAY
MON THAYER AND YOU WILL SEE THE
TRADITIONAL REPUBLICANS THE
MAINSTREAM REPUBLICANS RALLYING
BEHIND HIM.
BUT RYAN DOTSON HAS A STRONG
GROUP OF ENDORSEMENTS FROM HIS
COLLEAGUES IN THE HOUSE AND FROM
THE SOCIAL CONSERVATIVE PART OF
THE PARTY.
AND THEN DEANNA GORDON WENT
AHEAD AND JUMPED IN THE RACE.
(17:41):
I DON'T ANTICIPATE MEANINGFUL
REPUBLICANS GETTING IN.
BUT RALPH ALVARADO IS THE
FAVORITES AND IF HE DOES EMERGE
FROM THE PRIMARY HE WILL BE
HARDER TO BEAT IN A GENERAL
ELECTION THAN PROBABLY DOTSON OR
GORDON BECAUSE HE HAD TOUGH
(18:02):
GENERAL ELECTIONS IN THE PAST.
HE BEAT PALMER TO WIN THE SEAT
10 YEARS AGO.
AND SO HE HAS HAD BATTLES IN
GENERAL ELECTIONS HE HAS SHOWN
THAT ELECTABILITY AND HE WILL BE
A STRONG CANDIDATE IN THE FALL.
BOB, IT DOES SEEM LIKE WE'RE
HAVING ELECTIONS THIS YEAR.
IT DOES.
AND ONE REAL QUICK POSTSCRIPT
FOR ANOTHER 30 SECONDS.
(18:24):
WHERE WAS GOVERNOR ANDY BESHEAR
THIS WEEK, TREY GRAYSON?
>> WELL, TREY GRAYSON WILL TELL
YOU THAT.
SORRY ABOUT THAT,
TREY.
>> SO THIS TRES CAN TELL YOU
THAT OUR GOVERNOR WAS IN SOUTH
CAROLINA SPEAKING AT THE STATE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY GATHERING IN
(18:44):
SOUTH CAROLINA.
THAT'S NOTABLE BECAUSE SOUTH
CAROLINA IS ONE OF THE EARLY
PRIMARY STATES.
I WAS IN SOUTH CAROLINA A FEW
WEEKS AGO ON VACATION HE WAS IN
SOUTH CAROLINA RUNNING FOR
PRESIDENT.
ANY COMMENT ON THAT,
BOB?
>> JUST THIS IS ONE VOICE GOT
BACK IN TOUCH WITH ME AFTER A
(19:05):
MEETING BESHEAR, GOVERNOR
BESHEAR IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
WHO HAS BEEN REPUBLICAN BUT HE
IS MIDDLE OF THE ROAD PERSON HE
SAYS I WANT TO BE IN THE
LEADERSHIP DOWN HERE FOR THIS
GUY FOR PRESIDENT.
THAT IS THE IMPACT HE IS MAKING.
I'VE HEARD THE SAME FROM INDIANA
AND ILLINOIS.
PEOPLE WITHSTANDING IN THE PARTY
(19:25):
THINK THAT ANDY BESHEAR IS
DIFFERENT.
HE HAS A LONG WAY TO GO.
THIS IS A LONG DREDGE TO GET
THROUGH THE STEPS AND GET TO THE
PRIMARIES TO GET TO IOWA AND BE
A FACTOR THERE.
BUT WHEN YOU GET THAT FEEDBACK
IT TELLS YOU PEOPLE ARE SEEING
SOMETHING THAT THEY LIKE.
YEAH.
WELL, TREY I HAVE TO APOLOGIZE
TO THE WATSON FOR CONFUSING YOU
(19:47):
TWO.
YOU KNOW I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.
TREY GRAYSON AND BOB BABBAGE
ALWAYS A PLEASURE, GUYS.
[♪♪]
>> HOW'S BUSINESS IN NORTHERN
KENTUCKY?
WHICH INDUSTRIES LOOK ESPECIALLY
STRONG?
OUR EMILY SISK FOUND OUT AS
NORTHERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY
HELD ITS THIRD ANNUAL MID-SUMMER
(20:08):
SYMPOSIUM.
>> IT'S CALLED THE CORRIDOR OF
COMMERCE A GEOGRAPHIC REGION
THAT BOASTS TOP BUSINESSES AND
ASSETS WITH NORTHERN KENTUCKY
RIGHT AT THE CENTER.
AS JANET HARRA EXPLAINED THE
CORRIDOR'S RESOURCES ALLOW GOODS
AND SERVICES TO BE DELIVERED
ACROSS THE GLOBE.
>> YOU CAN MOVE SERVICES BY
(20:31):
RAIL, AIR, WATER, OVER THE ROAD.
WE HAVE ALMOST EVERY
TRANSPORTATION MODE YOU CAN
IMAGINE WE HAVE IN THIS PORTAL.
>> AS THE CORRIDOR OF COMMERCE
CONTINUES TO DEVELOP, NORTHERN
KENTUCKY LOOKS TO ATTRACT MORE
WORKERS AND INDUSTRIES.
NKU'S CENTER FOR ECONOMIC
ANALYSIS AND DEVELOPMENT
IDENTIFIED FIVE SECTORS THAT
HAVE DEFINED THE REGION'S
(20:53):
ECONOMY SINCE THE COVID-19
PANDEMIC.
THE FIRST IS LIFE SCIENCES WHICH
INCLUDES PHARMACISTS, CHEMISTS
AND MORE.
HARRIS SAID THE ANNUAL SALARY IS
OVER $104,000.
>> THOSE ARE VERY HIGH PAYING
JOBS BECAUSE THEY ARE HIGHLY
SKILLED YOU HAVE TO KNOW A LOT
ABOUT SCIENCE AND MEDICINE AND
(21:15):
HOW THOSE WORK TOGETHER TO FUEL
BETTER HEALTHCARE.
>> TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE IN
LAST YEAR IN KENTUCKY WE
EXPORTED 3.7 BILLION WORTH OF
LIFE SCIENCES PHARMACEUTICALS
AND MEDICINES.
>> THE NEXT SECTOR IS ADVANCED
MANUFACTURING INCLUDING
ASSEMBLERS, INSPECTORS AND
TRADESPEOPLE.
WHILE THE INDUSTRY ISN'T
(21:36):
NECESSARILY CREATING MORE JOBS
IT'S STEADILY BRINGING IN MORE
AND MORE MONEY FOR THE LOCAL
ECONOMY.
>> YOU DON'T SEEM TO SEE A LOT
OF JOB GROWTH IN MANUFACTURING
YET OUR OUTPUT CONTINUES TO GROW
IT'S BECAUSE IF WE CAN COMPARE
OUR UNITED STATES TO CHINA OUR
(21:56):
OUTPUT HOUR IS THREE TIMES.
WE ARE DOING MORE WITH FEWER
PEOPLE.
>> THE SENIOR DIRECTOR SAYS THAT
IS BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURING
INDUSTRY HAS BEGUN INCORPORATING
MORE AUTOMATION AND ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE.
TRANSPORTATION AND LOGISTICS IS
THE THIRD SECTOR WHICH HARRIS
SAID IS HUGE FOR NORTHERN
KENTUCKY.
>> TRANSPORTATION LOGISTICS IS
(22:18):
DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF THAT JOBS
IN THE LAST 10 YEARS.
IT ADDS A LOT OF JOBS TO THE
COMMUNITY AND ADDS A LOT OF
ENTRY LEVEL JOBS AND EVERYBODY
NEEDS THAT POINT INTO THE
WORKFORCE.
A COUPLE THINGS CATALYZING
GROWTH.
FOR NORTHERN KENTUCKY IT WAS THE
INTRODUCTION OF WE HAVE DHL HERE
AN INTERNATIONAL SHIPPER AND
(22:38):
INTRODUCTION OF AMAZON PRIME
HERE THIS IS THEIR HUB.
WE ARE MOVING CARGO OUT OF CBG
THE 6TH LARGEST IN NORTH
AMERICA.
PART OF WHAT IS FUELING THAT ALL
OF US LIKE TO GET ON THE
COMPUTER AND GET NEXT DAY
DELIVERY THAT E-COMMERCE IS
FUELING THE GROWTH AND
TRANSPORTATION ALOE JIS
(22:58):
PARTICULARS.
>> AEROSPACE AND AVIATION IS THE
FOURTH ECONOMY THAT GOES HAND IN
HAND WITH MANY OF THE
INDUSTRIES.
HARRA GAVE THE DATA HOW MUCH
BUSINESS IS HAPPENING INSIDE THE
CBG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.
>> WE HAD 9.2 MILLION PASSENGERS
LAST YEAR.
THEY ARE CARRYING TWO MILLION
(23:19):
TONS OF CARGO EVERY YEAR.
IT IS A STRATEGIC ASSET FOR US.
>> THE FINAL ECONOMIC SECTOR
WHICH HARRIS SAID WAS MOST
SURPRISING IS WHOLESALE TRADING.
>> LIKE MOST PEOPLE WHAT'S WHO
WORKS IN WHOLESALE TRADING WHAT
DO THEY DO?
ALL THE SALESPEOPLE AND THEY
MAKE GOOD MONEY THE AVERAGE WAGE
IS ALMOST $90,000 A YEAR.
(23:40):
BUT IT'S MOSTLY SALESPEOPLE
BUYING AND SELLING GOODS ACROSS
COMPANIES.
>> RESEARCH SHOWED THAT ALMOST
ALL THE INDUSTRIES ARE
COMPLIMENTARY TO EACH OTHER AND
THEY NEED ONE ANOTHER TO
SUCCEED.
HARRA EXPLAINED WHAT THE
PRESENTATION MIGHT LOOK LIKE 10
YEARS FROM NOW.
>> THE ECONOMY IS CHANGING
BECAUSE OF AUTOMATION AND A.I.,
(24:01):
THE JOBS THAT ARE GOING TO BE
AVAILABLE 10 YEARS WILL LOOK
DIFFERENT FROM WHAT THEY LOOK
LIKE TODAY.
IN THE COMMUNITIES THAT CAN
PREPARE THEIR TALENT FOR THOSE
CHANGES ARE THE ONES THAT ARE
GOING TO SUCCEED LONG-TERM.
>> FOR "KENTUCKY EDITION" I'M
EMILY SISK.
THANK YOU, EMILY.
>> LOCAL LEADERS IN ATTENDANCE
FOR YESTERDAY'S SYMPOSIUM SAID
(24:22):
THE NEXT STEP WILL BE ENSURING

RESIDE IN THE REGION RATHER THAN
ACROSS THE RIVER IN CINCINNATI.

BEING IN THIS POSITION.
AND I KEEP HAVING TO PINCH
MYSELF, BECAUSE I AM SO GRATEFUL
AND I NEVER COULD HAVE IMAGINED
WHEN I WAS A SCHOLAR THAT THIS
IS WHERE I WOULD BE.

ON MONDAY'S KENTUCKY EDITION, WE

THE PROGRAM.
WE HOPE YOU'LL JOIN US AGAIN

THE ATMOSPHERE THAT WILL BRING
RAIN FOR US.

LOOKING AHEAD TO WHAT
COULD BE A WET WEEKEND.
AREAS MOST AT RISK FOR POTENTIAL
FLOODING.

>> BARR HAS THE MOMENTUM, AND
THAT COULD ATTRACT MORE
CONTRIBUTIONS.

THE STATE OF KENTUCKY'S U.S.
SENATE RACE.
>> THE JOBS THAT WILL BE

AVAILABLE 10 YEARS WILL LOOK
DIFFERENT FROM WHAT THEY LOOK

THE DRIVING FORCES BEHIND ONE
REGION'S SOARING ECONOMY.
>> PRODUCTION OF "KENTUCKY
EDITION" IS MADE POSSIBLE IN
PART BY THE KET MILLENNIUM FUND.
[♪♪]
(01:01):
>> GOOD EVENING, AND WELCOME TO
KENTUCKY EDITION FOR JULY 18TH.
I'M RENEE SHAW.
THANKS FOR JOINING US.
IT'S DONE.
CONGRESS HAS CUT FUNDING FOR
SOME FOREIGN AID PROGRAMS...
AND PUBLIC TELEVISION AND RADIO.
THE FINAL VOTE IN THE U.S. HOUSE
CAME EARLY THIS MORNING.
(01:22):
THE SO-CALLED RESCISSION BILL
CUTS NINE BILLION DOLLARS
ALREADY APPROPRIATED BY
CONGRESS.
THAT INCLUDES MONEY FOR THE
CORPORATION FOR PUBLIC
BROADCASTING.
WHICH HELPS FUND KET
CRITICS OF THE CUT SAY PUBLIC
RADIO AND TV PLAY A VITAL ROLE
IN BRINGING EMERGENCY WEATHER
INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC.
HERE'S CONGRESSMAN MORGAN
MCGARVEY, A DEMOCRAT FROM
(01:42):
KENTUCKY'S THIRD DISTRICT,
BEFORE THE VOTE.
>> EVERYONE IN KENTUCKY IS
IMPACTED BY SEVERE WEATHER AND
WE KNOW SOMEONE HAS BEEN A
VICTIM OF A FLOOD OR TORNADO.
THIS WEEK THE SENATE PASSED
DONALD TRUMP'S PROPOSED CUTS.
SECONDS MATTER FOR GETTING YOUR
(02:03):
FAMILY TO SAFETY.
LOCAL TV STATIONS DON'T REACH
WHERE YOU ARE.
THIS IS THE SYSTEM THAT SAVES
FAMILYS' LIVES.
THE HOUSE CAN STOP IT THEY CAN
STAND UP FOR OUR RURAL NEIGHBORS
BY STANDING UP TO DONALD TRUMP
AND VOTING NO.
MCGARVEY WAS THE ONLY KENTUCKY
CONGRESSMAN TO VOTE NO.
(02:24):
CONGRESSMAN ANDY BARR, FROM THE
SIXTH DISTRICT, POSTED THIS
TODAY.
"LAST NIGHT, I VOTED FOR NINE
BILLION DOLLARS IN TRUMP DOGE
CUTS. THIS IS JUST THE
BEGINNING -- I'M WORKING WITH
PRESIDENT TRUMP TO CUT MORE
WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE FROM THE
DC SWAMP.
WE'RE READY FOR EVEN MORE
RESCISSIONS PACKAGES!"
(02:46):
ALREADY, A LOT OF MONEY IS
FLOWING INTO CAMPAIGNS FOR NEXT
YEAR'S ELECTIONS.
IN KENTUCKY'S SIXTH DISTRICT
RACE, FORMER STATE
REPRESENTATIVE CHERLYNN
STEVENSON IS OUT-PACING DAVID
KLOIBER, A FORMER LEXINGTON
COUNCILMEMBER.
SHE HAS ABOUT 30-THOUSAND
DOLLARS MORE CASH ON HAND. BOTH
ARE DEMOCRATS.
CONGRESSMAN THOMAS MASSIE HAS
(03:08):
ALSO STOCKPILED NEARLY TWO
MILLION DOLLARS FOR HIS
REELECTION CAMPAIGN, DESPITE HIS
PUBLIC CLASHES WITH PRESIDENT
TRUMP.
KENTUCKY'S FOURTH DISTRICT
CONGRESSMAN WAS ONE OF TWO HOUSE
REPUBLICANS TO VOTE AGAINST
TRUMP'S MASSIVE TAX BILL.
HE ALSO CRITICIZED THE PRESIDENT
FOR BOMBING IRANIAN NUCLEAR
SITES WITHOUT CONGRESSIONAL
APPROVAL.
MEANWHILE, A NEW POLITICAL
(03:30):
FUNDRAISING ARM RUN BY TRUMP
INSIDERS CALLED MAGA KENTUCKY IS
DEVOTED TO DEFEATING MASSIE IN
NEXT YEAR'S PRIMARY.
THE GROUP HAS ALREADY SPENT MORE
THAN A MILLION DOLLARS ON ADS
ATTACKING MASSIE.
BUT THEY'VE YET TO ENDORSE A
CANDIDATE.
I'LL TALK ABOUT THE U.S. SENATE
FUNDRAISING NUMBERS WITH TREY
GRAYSON AND BOB BABBAGE DURING
OUR 'INSIDE KENTUCKY POLITICS'
(03:52):
SEGMENT, IN JUST A FEW MINUTES.
>> THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION SAYS IT WILL RELEASE
SOME OF THE SIX BILLION DOLLARS
IN GRANT MONEY PREVIOUSLY
WITHHELD FROM PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
IN FREEZING THE FUNDS, THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION SAID IT WANTED TO
MAKE SURE THE PROGRAMS BEING
FUNDED ALIGN WITH THE
PRESIDENT'S PRIORITIES.
A SENIOR ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL
(04:14):
TOLD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A
REVIEW OF SOME OF THE PROGRAMS
IS NOW COMPLETE.
ABOUT ONE BILLION DOLLARS WILL
BE RELEASED TO THE STATES.
A REVIEW OF THE REMAINING
PROGRAMS CONTINUES.
THE DECISION COMES JUST DAYS
AFTER TEN REPUBLICAN SENATORS,
INCLUDING MITCH MCCONNELL OF
KENTUCKY, URGED THE FEDERAL
BUDGET DIRECTOR TO RELEASE THE
FUNDS.
THE LETTER SAID,
(04:35):
"WE SHARE YOUR CONCERN ABOUT
TAXPAYER MONEY GOING TO FUND
RADICAL LEFT-WING PROGRAMS.
HOWEVER, WE DO NOT BELIEVE THAT
IS HAPPENING WITH THESE FUNDS."
CONGRESSMAN MCGARVEY ALSO SENT A
LETTER THIS WEEK, CALLING THE
MOVE ILLEGAL AND WRONG.
HE ADDED, "SUCH SUDDEN AND
ARBITRARY FREEZES DISRUPT THE
BUDGETING PROCESS FOR THE WHOLE
(04:56):
SCHOOL YEAR.
INJECTING VOLATILITY AND
UNCERTAINTY AS STUDENTS ARE SET
TO RETURN TO SCHOOL IN A FEW
WEEKS."
ON MONDAY, GOVERNOR ANDY BESHEAR
JOINED MORE THAN 20 STATES IN
SUING THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
OVER THE FROZEN FUNDS.
ABOUT 87 MILLION DOLLARS ARE
EARMARKED FOR KENTUCKY SCHOOLS.
(05:16):
>> THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY
SAYS IT'S REMOVED SOMEONE FROM
TEACHING OVER AN ONLINE
PETITION.
UK SAYS THAT PETITION CAN BE
INTERPRETED AS ANTI-SEMITIC,
BASED ON STATE AND FEDERAL
GUIDELINES.
THE LEXINGTON HERALD-LEADER SAYS
THE PETITION CALLS FOR THE
DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL.
THE NEWSPAPER IDENTIFIES THE
PROFESSOR AS RASMI WOODCOCK.
(05:38):
PRESIDENT ELI CAPILOUTO SAYS AN
OUTSIDE THIRD PARTY WILL REVIEW
THIS INCIDENT.
>> RAIN THIS WEEKEND COULD BE
MORE THAN AN INCONVENIENCE.
WITH HEAVY DOWNPOURS IN THE
FORECAST, THE RISK OF FLASH
FLOODING IS A MAJOR CONCERN
ACROSS THE STATE.
CHRISTIE DUTTON SPOKE TO A
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE
METEOROLOGIST TO FIND OUT WHAT
TO EXPECT THIS WEEKEND AND WHO
IS MOST AT RISK.
(06:07):
>> MIKE WITH THE NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE IN LOUISVILLE.
I SAW RAIN AND FLOODING
YESTERDAY AND AS WE LOOK AT THE
WEEKEND FORECAST WE COULD BE
SEEING MORE OF THE SAME.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
WE HAVE A STATIONARY FRONT THAT
IS HANGING AROUND TODAY AND THIS
WEEKEND AND THERE IS A LOT OF
MOISTURE THAT WILL BRING THE
HEAVY RAIN FOR US.
>> AND WE HAVE A RISK FOR
(06:29):
EXCESSIVE RAIN FALL THIS
WEEKEND.
WHO IS UNDER THAT RISK?
WHERE DOES IT LOOK LIKE THE
HAZARDS COULD BE IN OUR STATE?
>> ANY PART OF KENTUCKY, BUT
ESPECIALLY THE EASTERN PART OF
THE STATE COULD SEE SOME OF THAT
EXCESSIVE RAINFALL.
WE HAVE A RISK FOR AT LEAST 15%
CHANCE FOR FLASH FLOODING TO
OCCUR IN ANY ONE COUNTY.
IT IS NOT ZERO.
(06:50):
YOU CAN SEE THAT FLASH FLOODING
RISK THERE.
THE EAST BUT, REALLY, ANYWHERE
IN KENTUCKY ON SATURDAY NEEDS TO
BE WEATHER AWARE.
>> AND HOW MUCH RAIN ARE WE
TALKING FOR AREAS?
I KNOW IT VARIES HOW MUCH CAN
CAUSE PROBLEMS, BUT WHAT IS THAT
EXCESSIVE RAINFALL?
CAN YOU PUT A NUMBER TO IT?
>> AN ADDITIONAL 1-3 INCHES OF
(07:13):
RAINFALL FOR THE REST OF THE
WEEKEND ON TOP OF AREAS THAT
RECEIVED THAT MUCH RAINFALL.
IT'S A COMPLEX SCENARIO OF HOW
MUCH RAIN HAS FALLEN AND THE
SOIL MOISTURE AND ADDITIONAL
RAINFALL COMING.
ALL THAT GOES INTO OUR FORECAST
THAT WE COULD SEE THAT EXCESSIVE
RAINFALL RISK AND FLASH FLOODING
THAT COULD OCCUR RAPIDLY.
(07:34):
>> COULD WE SEE MORE FLOOD
WATCHES, WARNINGS THIS WEEKEND?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
A WATCH MEANS IT'S POSSIBLE.
A WARNING MEANS IT'S HAPPENING.
WHEN YOU GET THAT WARNING HAVE
YOUR FAVORITE APPS FROM YOUR
LOCAL STATIONS OR IF SOMETHING
LIKE THAT ON YOUR PHONE AND BE
WEATHER AWARE.
KEEP AN EYE ON THE RADAR AND
(07:54):
KNOW WHEN THE RAIN IS COMING
YOUR WAY BECAUSE IT CAN HAPPEN
QUICKLY.
>> IF SOMEBODY IS OUT CAMPING
DOESN'T HAVE GOOD CELLPHONE
RECEPTION HOW DO THEY STAY SAFE?
>> A WEATHER RADIO ALWAYS
ON-LINE, BATTERY OPERATED.
WHEN YOUR CELLPHONE DOESN'T
(08:15):
WORK, WEATHER RADIO GO TO YOUR
LOCAL STORE AND PICK ONE UP.
>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXPERTISE.
MIKE FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE IN LOUISVILLE.
THANK YOU, CHRISTIE
DUTTON.
>> THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE
WOULD LIKE TO REMIND EVERYONE TO
TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN.
ACCORDING TO THE CDC, MOST
FLOOD-RELATED DEATHS OCCUR WHEN
(08:35):
A VEHICLE IS DRIVEN THROUGH A
FLOODED ROAD.
>> KENTUCKY IS SUING TEMU, A
CHINESE ONLINE SHOPPING
PLATFORM.
ATTORNEY GENERAL RUSSELL COLEMAN
SAYS TEMU IS SELLING COUNTERFEIT
ITEMS THAT APPEAR TO BE RELATED
TO SOME OF KENTUCKY'S BEST-KNOWN
PRODUCTS AND ICONS.
THESE INCLUDE BUFFALO TRACE
DISTILLERY, CHURCHILL DOWNS, THE
(08:57):
UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY, AND THE
UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE.
THE LAWSUIT ALSO SAYS TEMU IS
ILLEGALLY COLLECTING PEOPLE'S
DATA WITHOUT THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND
PERMISSION.
THE SUIT CLAIMS TEMU IS USING
UNDERAGE WORKERS IN VIOLATION OF
U.S. TRADE POLICIES.
IN A STATEMENT, COLEMAN SAYS
TEMU CAN INFECT KENTUCKIANS'
DEVICES WITH MALWARE.
(09:17):
IT CAN SEND KENTUCKIANS'
PERSONAL DATA TO THE CHINESE
GOVERNMENT.
>> THE CITY OF LEXINGTON IS
PLANNING TO HOLD A VIGIL
FOLLOWING A DEADLY MASS
SHOOTING.
POLICE SAY GUY HOUSE INJURED A
KSP TROOPER NEAR BLUE GRASS
AIRPORT ON SUNDAY.
HE THEN KILLED TWO WOMEN AND
INJURED TWO MEN AT RICHMOND ROAD
BAPTIST CHURCH.
(09:37):
HOUSE WAS THEN SHOT AND KILLED
BY POLICE.
MAYOR LINDA GORTON'S OFFICE SAYS
THE VIGIL WILL TAKE PLACE
TUESDAY AT 6 P.M. AT THE
COURTHOUSE PLAZA.
SHE WILL BE JOINED BY
LEXINGTON'S POLICE CHIEF,
COMMUNITY PARTNERS, AND FAITH
LEADERS.
[♪♪]
TIME TO GO INSIDE KENTUCKY
(09:58):
POLITICS AND TALK ABOUT MAJOR
POLITICAL DEVELOPMENTS AND WE
HAVE OUR FRIENDS AND KET
COMMENTATORS WITH US.
TREY GRAYSON ON SCREEN LEFT AND
BOB BABBAGE ON SCREEN RIGHT.
GET THE BAND BACK TOGETHER AGAIN
WE HAVE HAD A HIATUS HERE.
LET'S START WITH THE U.S. SENATE
RACE AND WE LEARNED TODAY
(10:19):
THROUGH REPORTING IN THE
KENTUCKY LANTERN ABOUT ANDY
BARR'S FUNDRAISING MACHINE HE IS
HE'S GOT 6.1 MILLION ON HAND AS
OF JUNE 30TH.
DANIEL CAMERON HAS $532,000 ON
HAND.
SO IS BARR JUST A FUNDRAISING
MACHINE?
AND WHAT IS DANIEL CAMERON
(10:40):
DOING?
HOW WOULD YOU CONTEXTUALIZE THIS
FOR US, TREY GRAYSON?
>> BARR IS A FUND RAISING
MACHINE.
OF THE RALLY OF THE RACES HE
NEEDS IT.
HE IS WELL-KNOWN IN THE SIXTH
DISTRICT CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND A
LITTLE BIT IN THE FIFTH DISTRICT
A LOT OF THE FOLKS WATCH
LEXINGTON MEDIA SO THEY WOULD
HAVE PICKED UP ON ANDY BARR BUT
(11:01):
HE IS NOT WELL-KNOWN IN THE REST
OF THE STATE.
HE NEEDS MORE MONEY THAN DANIEL
CAMERON FOR THIS RACE.
BUT IT SHOWS THAT BARR IS
PUTTING THE MONEY IN HE HAS HIGH
PROFILE DONORS ACROSS THE
COUNTRY AND THE STATE.
CAMERON WENT DOWN FROM QUARTER
ONE TO QUARTER TWO THOUGH HE HAD
A FULL QUARTER TO RAISE MONEY IT
IS A DISAPPOINTING QUARTER.
(11:22):
THE RACE IS NOT OVER AND TODAY
CAMERON WOULD WIN BECAUSE PEOPLE
KNOW HIM BETTER.
WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING IT'S CLEAR
BARR HAS MOMENTUM AND IT WILL
HELP HIM ATTRACT MORE
CONTRIBUTIONS, MORE VOLUNTEERS,
MORE ENDORSEMENTS AS HE IS
CRISSCROSSING THE STATE TO
INTRODUCE HIMSELF TO PEOPLE.
(11:42):
BOB BABBAGE WHAT DOES
DANIEL CAMERON NEED TO DO BETTER
AT THIS JUNCTURE.
>> HE NEEDS TO RAISE A MILLION
DOLLARS OVER THIS NEXT PERIOD
FOR SURE.
AND MAKE AN IMPACT WITH THE
MONEY EVEN THOUGH THIS
POPULARITY IS SIGNIFICANT.
EVERY REPUBLICAN OF ANY STANDING
ON A LOCAL COMMITTEE OR ACTIVIST
MET DANIEL CAMERON OVER THE LAST
SEVERAL YEARS.
(12:03):
HE DOES HAVE THAT EDGE.
YOU STILL HAVE TO FUND THE RACE.
IT IS A SMALL BUSINESS YOU HAVE
TO FUND IT AND EXECUTE THE
SPENDING RIGHT.
AND REACH OTHER PLACES THAT GIVE
YOU A CHANCE TO WIN.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY POLLS RIGHT
NOW.
ALTHOUGH WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE
THE NUMBERS.
WE HAVE SPENDING REPORTS POLLS
(12:26):
HAVE LARGE ROOM FOR ERRORS AND
SPENDING REPORTS WENT TO THE
PENNY.
WHEN YOU SEE THE NUMBERS THEY
DEFINITELY BUILD THE NOTION THAT
BARR IS AHEAD.
PEOPLE WANT TO BE FOR THE WINNER
AND RIGHT NOW TO HAVE A 12-1
LEAD IN FUND RAISING MONEY ON
HAND IS A BIG, BIG BREAK FOR
BARR.
I WANT TO HAVE YOU
(12:46):
RESPOND TO SOMETHING TREY SAID
ABOUT ANDY BARR NAME RECOGNITION
COMPARED TO DANIEL CAMERON,
DANIEL CAMERON IS NOT ON THE
SCENE AND ANDY BARR IS IN THE
HEADLINES AND MAKING NEWS AND
PART OF PIVOTAL VOTES IN
WASHINGTON COULD YOU SQUARE WHY
MAYBE BARR NEEDS TO HAVE MORE
NAME RECOGNITION BUILDUP NOT
(13:08):
DANIEL CAMERON NOT IN THE
POLITICAL SPACE AS ACTIVELY AS
BARR IS.
>> WE TALK ABOUT POLITICAL
LEADERS LIKE WE KNOW THEM BUT I
DON'T KNOW BARR AS WELL AS RAND
PAUL OR MITCH McCONNELL.
BECAUSE OF THE FACT THEY ARE
STATE-WIDE.
HE HAS A GREAT MEDIA MARKET IN
CENTRAL KENTUCKY THAT GOES
BEYOND CENTRAL KENTUCKY THAT
(13:28):
HELPS HIM GET STARTED.
BUT GO TO ALLEN COUNTY, THESE
ARE PLACES WHERE DANIEL CAMERON
PROBABLY MADE A STOP AND
PROBABLY KNOWS PEOPLE AND HAS
MADE THE PITCH BEFORE AND HIS
LIKABILITY HAS COME ACROSS.
TO CATCH UP WITH THEM ON NAME
YOU HAVE TO OUTSPEND HIM OR
FIGURE OUT SOME WAY TO DO THAT.
TO BE IN CONGRESS AND TO RUN FOR
(13:49):
STATE-WIDE OFFICE IS VERY
CHALLENGING.
BECAUSE YOU ARE HERE ALL THE
TIME.
CAMERON IS HERE.
HE CAN WORK THE CALL ALL DAY AND
GO TO AN EVENT AT NIGHT.
THAT IS THE MAKEUP OF THIS.
BARR IS GETTING AROUND TALKED
ABOUT HOW HE MADE THE FOURTH OF
JULY PARADES AND VOTED IN
WASHINGTON AND KEPT THE
(14:10):
MOMENTUM.
WE HAVE ANOTHER NAME
TO MENTION, TREY GRAYSON AND
THAT IS NATE MORRIS, A WEALTHY
BUSINESSMAN AND HE DID NOT
REGISTER HIS CAMPAIGN WITH THE
ELECTION COMMISSION UNTIL JULY
FIRST.
SO HE DIDN'T HAVE TO REPORT.
BUT DO WE KNOW HOW MUCH HE COULD
BRING TO THE TABLE WHEN IT COMES
TO FINANCIAL COFFERS FOR HIS
CAMPAIGN?
>> MORRIS HAS SOMETHING THE
(14:31):
OTHER TWO DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY
TO PUT HIS OWN MONEY INTO THE
RACE.
IT IS NOT CLEAR HOW MUCH HE
COULD PUT IN BUT HE COULD PUT
SIX, SEVEN FIGURES OF HIS OWN
MONEY IN AND HE IS CONNECTED
WITH THE VICE-PRESIDENT AND DON,
JR.
THE OFFICIAL ROLL OUT WE HAVE
BEEN TALKING AS A CANDIDATE BUT
(14:53):
HE HAD ELIZABETHTOWN ON BULLIT
COUNTY, CHARLIE KIRK IN THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY WHO FOUNDED
TURNING POINT WAS THERE AND HAD
A LARGE CROWD.
MORRIS WILL BE A FACTOR HE
SHOULD HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO
COMPETE.
IF BARR HAS NAME RECOGNITION
CHALLENGES, MORRIS HAS IT
(15:13):
EVERYWHERE.
BUT THAT IS SMALL BUSINESS YOU
FUND THE CAMPAIGN FOR DONORS
THROUGH YOUR OWN MONEY AND THEN
YOU DUKE IT OUT WITH YOUR
MESSAGING.
LET'S TALK ABOUT
ANOTHER RACE AND THIS IS THE
SIXTH DISTRICT RACE WHICH BARR
IS FORFEITING THAT SEAT TO RUN
FOR U.S. SENATE.
AND WE HAVE A NEW NAME THAT IS
FAMILIAR TO MOST OF US.
(15:34):
AND THAT IS RALPH ALVARADO WHO
WAS A STATE SENATOR, LIEUTENANT
GOVERNOR CANDIDATE AND WAS UP
UNTIL THIS WEEK, THE
COMMISSIONER OF HEALTH FOR
TENNESSEE.
AND WE HAD INTERVIEWED HIM A FEW
WEEKS AGO THERE FOR THE RX
SUMMIT IN NASHVILLE.
NOW HE'S GETTING INTO THE RACE.
ARE YOU SURPRISED BY THIS, BOB
BABBAGE?
>> HEARD RUMBLINGS OF THIS BUT
(15:55):
DIDN'T THINK IT WOULD HAPPEN.
IT HAS.
HE IS GETTING A LOT OF
ATTENTION.
THAT RACE CHANGED A LOT IN THE
LAST FEW DAYS.
ALVARADO HAS NOT BEEN IN A PLACE
TO RAISE MONEY BUT A CHALLENGER
HAS BEEN AND PUT $60,000 OF HIS
FUNDS IN AND RAISED 30, 40,000
ON TOP OF IT.
WE ONLY VOTE IN SIX ELECTIONS
(16:17):
EVERY FOUR YEARS AND THAT IS
THREE PRIMARIES AND THREE
GENERALS IT FEELS LIKE WE'RE
RUNNING THIS YEAR.
I HAVE PEOPLE ASKING ARE WE
VOTING THIS NOVEMBER.
BUT IT FEELS LIKE IT BECAUSE
THEY ARE SEEING SO MUCH AND
HEARING SO MUCH.
WHAT DO YOU SAY, TREY?
>> I TEXTED WITH RALPH WHEN I
FIRST HEARD THE NEWS LAST WEEK
(16:38):
THAT HE MIGHT BE LOOKING AT THE
RACE IT WAS CLEAR HE WAS SERIOUS
ABOUT IT.
I CAN DO MORE FOR HEALTHCARE IN
THE CONGRESS AND HE MAINTAINS
TIES IN KENTUCKY THOUGH HE HAD
BEEN IN TENNESSEE.
IT IS NOT A SURPRISE YOU
INTERVIEWED HIM THAT HE WANTED
TO BE INTERVIEWED BY KET.
PROBABLY BEFORE HE WAS THINKING
ABOUT RUNNING.
HE MAINTAINED HIS RESIDENCY AND
(16:59):
STILL HAS A MEDICAL PRACTICE IN
CLARK COUNTY.
I THINK HE IS THE FAVORITE IN
THE RACE NOT AS WELL-KNOWN AS A
STATE SENATOR AS A MEMBER OF
GIVEN THE SIZE OF THE DISTRICT
RELATIVE TO HIS DISTRICT BUT HE
WAS A LEADER IN THE KENTUCKY
STATE SENATE AND MATT BEVIN'S
RUNNING MATE THAT ALLOWED HIM TO
MEET MORE PEOPLE.
HE IS CONSIDERED A HEALTH POLICY
(17:21):
EXPERT AND HE IMMEDIATELY
SECURED THE ENDORSEMENT OF DAY
MON THAYER AND YOU WILL SEE THE
TRADITIONAL REPUBLICANS THE
MAINSTREAM REPUBLICANS RALLYING
BEHIND HIM.
BUT RYAN DOTSON HAS A STRONG
GROUP OF ENDORSEMENTS FROM HIS
COLLEAGUES IN THE HOUSE AND FROM
THE SOCIAL CONSERVATIVE PART OF
THE PARTY.
AND THEN DEANNA GORDON WENT
AHEAD AND JUMPED IN THE RACE.
(17:41):
I DON'T ANTICIPATE MEANINGFUL
REPUBLICANS GETTING IN.
BUT RALPH ALVARADO IS THE
FAVORITES AND IF HE DOES EMERGE
FROM THE PRIMARY HE WILL BE
HARDER TO BEAT IN A GENERAL
ELECTION THAN PROBABLY DOTSON OR
GORDON BECAUSE HE HAD TOUGH
(18:02):
GENERAL ELECTIONS IN THE PAST.
HE BEAT PALMER TO WIN THE SEAT
10 YEARS AGO.
AND SO HE HAS HAD BATTLES IN
GENERAL ELECTIONS HE HAS SHOWN
THAT ELECTABILITY AND HE WILL BE
A STRONG CANDIDATE IN THE FALL.
BOB, IT DOES SEEM LIKE WE'RE
HAVING ELECTIONS THIS YEAR.
IT DOES.
AND ONE REAL QUICK POSTSCRIPT
FOR ANOTHER 30 SECONDS.
(18:24):
WHERE WAS GOVERNOR ANDY BESHEAR
THIS WEEK, TREY GRAYSON?
>> WELL, TREY GRAYSON WILL TELL
YOU THAT.
SORRY ABOUT THAT,
TREY.
>> SO THIS TRES CAN TELL YOU
THAT OUR GOVERNOR WAS IN SOUTH
CAROLINA SPEAKING AT THE STATE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY GATHERING IN
(18:44):
SOUTH CAROLINA.
THAT'S NOTABLE BECAUSE SOUTH
CAROLINA IS ONE OF THE EARLY
PRIMARY STATES.
I WAS IN SOUTH CAROLINA A FEW
WEEKS AGO ON VACATION HE WAS IN
SOUTH CAROLINA RUNNING FOR
PRESIDENT.
ANY COMMENT ON THAT,
BOB?
>> JUST THIS IS ONE VOICE GOT
BACK IN TOUCH WITH ME AFTER A
(19:05):
MEETING BESHEAR, GOVERNOR
BESHEAR IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
WHO HAS BEEN REPUBLICAN BUT HE
IS MIDDLE OF THE ROAD PERSON HE
SAYS I WANT TO BE IN THE
LEADERSHIP DOWN HERE FOR THIS
GUY FOR PRESIDENT.
THAT IS THE IMPACT HE IS MAKING.
I'VE HEARD THE SAME FROM INDIANA
AND ILLINOIS.
PEOPLE WITHSTANDING IN THE PARTY
(19:25):
THINK THAT ANDY BESHEAR IS
DIFFERENT.
HE HAS A LONG WAY TO GO.
THIS IS A LONG DREDGE TO GET
THROUGH THE STEPS AND GET TO THE
PRIMARIES TO GET TO IOWA AND BE
A FACTOR THERE.
BUT WHEN YOU GET THAT FEEDBACK
IT TELLS YOU PEOPLE ARE SEEING
SOMETHING THAT THEY LIKE.
YEAH.
WELL, TREY I HAVE TO APOLOGIZE
TO THE WATSON FOR CONFUSING YOU
(19:47):
TWO.
YOU KNOW I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.
TREY GRAYSON AND BOB BABBAGE
ALWAYS A PLEASURE, GUYS.
[♪♪]
>> HOW'S BUSINESS IN NORTHERN
KENTUCKY?
WHICH INDUSTRIES LOOK ESPECIALLY
STRONG?
OUR EMILY SISK FOUND OUT AS
NORTHERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY
HELD ITS THIRD ANNUAL MID-SUMMER
(20:08):
SYMPOSIUM.
>> IT'S CALLED THE CORRIDOR OF
COMMERCE A GEOGRAPHIC REGION
THAT BOASTS TOP BUSINESSES AND
ASSETS WITH NORTHERN KENTUCKY
RIGHT AT THE CENTER.
AS JANET HARRA EXPLAINED THE
CORRIDOR'S RESOURCES ALLOW GOODS
AND SERVICES TO BE DELIVERED
ACROSS THE GLOBE.
>> YOU CAN MOVE SERVICES BY
(20:31):
RAIL, AIR, WATER, OVER THE ROAD.
WE HAVE ALMOST EVERY
TRANSPORTATION MODE YOU CAN
IMAGINE WE HAVE IN THIS PORTAL.
>> AS THE CORRIDOR OF COMMERCE
CONTINUES TO DEVELOP, NORTHERN
KENTUCKY LOOKS TO ATTRACT MORE
WORKERS AND INDUSTRIES.
NKU'S CENTER FOR ECONOMIC
ANALYSIS AND DEVELOPMENT
IDENTIFIED FIVE SECTORS THAT
HAVE DEFINED THE REGION'S
(20:53):
ECONOMY SINCE THE COVID-19
PANDEMIC.
THE FIRST IS LIFE SCIENCES WHICH
INCLUDES PHARMACISTS, CHEMISTS
AND MORE.
HARRIS SAID THE ANNUAL SALARY IS
OVER $104,000.
>> THOSE ARE VERY HIGH PAYING
JOBS BECAUSE THEY ARE HIGHLY
SKILLED YOU HAVE TO KNOW A LOT
ABOUT SCIENCE AND MEDICINE AND
(21:15):
HOW THOSE WORK TOGETHER TO FUEL
BETTER HEALTHCARE.
>> TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE IN
LAST YEAR IN KENTUCKY WE
EXPORTED 3.7 BILLION WORTH OF
LIFE SCIENCES PHARMACEUTICALS
AND MEDICINES.
>> THE NEXT SECTOR IS ADVANCED
MANUFACTURING INCLUDING
ASSEMBLERS, INSPECTORS AND
TRADESPEOPLE.
WHILE THE INDUSTRY ISN'T
(21:36):
NECESSARILY CREATING MORE JOBS
IT'S STEADILY BRINGING IN MORE
AND MORE MONEY FOR THE LOCAL
ECONOMY.
>> YOU DON'T SEEM TO SEE A LOT
OF JOB GROWTH IN MANUFACTURING
YET OUR OUTPUT CONTINUES TO GROW
IT'S BECAUSE IF WE CAN COMPARE
OUR UNITED STATES TO CHINA OUR
(21:56):
OUTPUT HOUR IS THREE TIMES.
WE ARE DOING MORE WITH FEWER
PEOPLE.
>> THE SENIOR DIRECTOR SAYS THAT
IS BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURING
INDUSTRY HAS BEGUN INCORPORATING
MORE AUTOMATION AND ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE.
TRANSPORTATION AND LOGISTICS IS
THE THIRD SECTOR WHICH HARRIS
SAID IS HUGE FOR NORTHERN
KENTUCKY.
>> TRANSPORTATION LOGISTICS IS
(22:18):
DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF THAT JOBS
IN THE LAST 10 YEARS.
IT ADDS A LOT OF JOBS TO THE
COMMUNITY AND ADDS A LOT OF
ENTRY LEVEL JOBS AND EVERYBODY
NEEDS THAT POINT INTO THE
WORKFORCE.
A COUPLE THINGS CATALYZING
GROWTH.
FOR NORTHERN KENTUCKY IT WAS THE
INTRODUCTION OF WE HAVE DHL HERE
AN INTERNATIONAL SHIPPER AND
(22:38):
INTRODUCTION OF AMAZON PRIME
HERE THIS IS THEIR HUB.
WE ARE MOVING CARGO OUT OF CBG
THE 6TH LARGEST IN NORTH
AMERICA.
PART OF WHAT IS FUELING THAT ALL
OF US LIKE TO GET ON THE
COMPUTER AND GET NEXT DAY
DELIVERY THAT E-COMMERCE IS
FUELING THE GROWTH AND
TRANSPORTATION ALOE JIS
(22:58):
PARTICULARS.
>> AEROSPACE AND AVIATION IS THE
FOURTH ECONOMY THAT GOES HAND IN
HAND WITH MANY OF THE
INDUSTRIES.
HARRA GAVE THE DATA HOW MUCH
BUSINESS IS HAPPENING INSIDE THE
CBG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.
>> WE HAD 9.2 MILLION PASSENGERS
LAST YEAR.
THEY ARE CARRYING TWO MILLION
(23:19):
TONS OF CARGO EVERY YEAR.
IT IS A STRATEGIC ASSET FOR US.
>> THE FINAL ECONOMIC SECTOR
WHICH HARRIS SAID WAS MOST
SURPRISING IS WHOLESALE TRADING.
>> LIKE MOST PEOPLE WHAT'S WHO
WORKS IN WHOLESALE TRADING WHAT
DO THEY DO?
ALL THE SALESPEOPLE AND THEY
MAKE GOOD MONEY THE AVERAGE WAGE
IS ALMOST $90,000 A YEAR.
(23:40):
BUT IT'S MOSTLY SALESPEOPLE
BUYING AND SELLING GOODS ACROSS
COMPANIES.
>> RESEARCH SHOWED THAT ALMOST
ALL THE INDUSTRIES ARE
COMPLIMENTARY TO EACH OTHER AND
THEY NEED ONE ANOTHER TO
SUCCEED.
HARRA EXPLAINED WHAT THE
PRESENTATION MIGHT LOOK LIKE 10
YEARS FROM NOW.
>> THE ECONOMY IS CHANGING
BECAUSE OF AUTOMATION AND A.I.,
(24:01):
THE JOBS THAT ARE GOING TO BE
AVAILABLE 10 YEARS WILL LOOK
DIFFERENT FROM WHAT THEY LOOK
LIKE TODAY.
IN THE COMMUNITIES THAT CAN
PREPARE THEIR TALENT FOR THOSE
CHANGES ARE THE ONES THAT ARE
GOING TO SUCCEED LONG-TERM.
>> FOR "KENTUCKY EDITION" I'M
EMILY SISK.
THANK YOU, EMILY.
>> LOCAL LEADERS IN ATTENDANCE
FOR YESTERDAY'S SYMPOSIUM SAID
(24:22):
THE NEXT STEP WILL BE ENSURING
ADEQUATE HOUSING IS AVAILABLE IN
NORTHERN KENTUCKY.
THIS WILL ALLOW WORKERS TO
RESIDE IN THE REGION RATHER THAN
ACROSS THE RIVER IN CINCINNATI.
