GOOD EVENING AND
WELCOME TO "KENTUCKY EDITION"
(01:21):
FOR MONDAY, JUNE 16TH I'M
CHRISTIE DUTTON IN OUR
LOUISVILLE STUDIO FILLING IN
TONIGHT FOR RENEE SHAW.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
>>> IN MINNESOTA, POLICE HAVE
HAVE THE MAN ACCUSED OF KILLING
A DEMOCRATIC STATE LAWMAKER AND
HER HUSBAND AND SHOOTING ANOTHER
LAWMAKER AND HIS WIFE.
POLICE SAY VANCE BOELTER
SURRENDERED TO POLICE AFTER THEY
(01:43):
FOUND HIM IN THE WOODS NEAR HIS
HOME.
HE IS ACCUSED OF TWO COUNTS OF
MURDER AND TWO COUNTS OF
ATTEMPTED MURDER.
IN KENTUCKY, LEADERS OF BOTH
POLITICAL PARTIES ARE CONDEMNING
THE VIOLENCE.
HOUSE SPEAKER DAVID OSBORNE SAYS
HE HAD WORKED IN THE PAST WITH
REPRESENTATIVE MELISSA HORTMAN
WHEN SHE WAS MINNESOTA HOUSE
SPEAKER.
(02:04):
OSBORNE SAID THIS IN A
STATEMENT.
QUOTE EARLY INDICATIONS SUGGEST
THAT THE INDIVIDUALS WERE
TARGETED DUE TO THEIR PUBLIC
SERVICE AND THE POLITICAL
POSITIONS THEY HELD.
WHILE POLITICAL DEBATE IS
CRITICAL TO OUR REPUBLIC WE
CANNOT FORGET THAT IT EXISTS
ONLY TO ADVANCE GOOD PUBLIC
POLICY FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR
STATE AND NATION.
(02:24):
RESPECT MUST BE AT THE
FOUNDATION OF EVERY DISAGREEMENT
AND WE MUST NOT ALLOW POLITICAL
DIFFERENCES TO HARDEN INTO
HATRED AND VIOLENCE.
END QUOTE.
COLMON ELRIDGE CHAIR OF THE
KENTUCKY DEMOCRATIC PARTY PUT
OUT THIS STATEMENT, WHAT
HAPPENED IN MINNESOTA IS
UNACCEPTABLE IN A FREE
DEMOCRACY.
NO AMERICAN SHOULD LIVE IN FARE
(02:45):
OF BECOMING THE TARGET OF
VIOLENCE FOR THEIR POLITICAL
BELIEFS OR SERVICE TO THEIR
COMMUNITIES.
OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH THE
VICTIMS' FAMILIES AND LOVED
ONES.
END QUOTE.
SATURDAY MARKED A NATIONWIDE DAY
OF PROTESTS AS MILLIONS ACROSS
THE COUNTRY GATHERED TO TAKE
PART IN "NO KINGS" RALLIES
PROTESTING PRESIDENT DONALD
(03:05):
TRUMP AND HIS ADMINISTRATION.
RALLIES WERE MELD IN 2,000
LOCATIONS IN KENTUCKY PROTESTS
WERE SCHEDULED IN MORE THAN A
DOZEN CITIES INCLUDING BOWLING
GREEN, SOMERSET, HOPKINSVILLE
AND ELIZABETHTOWN.
PROTESTORS GATHERED IN DOWNTOWN
LOUISVILLE TO HEAR FROM SPEAKERS
INCLUDING REPRESENTATIVE MORGAN
MCGARVEY, THE CROWD THEN MARCHED
THROUGH DOWNTOWN.
(03:27):
LEXINGTON'S RALLY ALSO DREW A
LARGE CROWD.
AMONG THE SPEAKERS AUTHOR AND
FORMER KENTUCKY POET LAUREATE,
SILAS HOUSE.
>> TODAY'S EVENT IS TO MAKE OUR
VOICES HEARD.
WE WANT DC AND THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION AND THE REST OF
THE WORLD TO SEE THAT WE DON'T
(03:49):
WANT DICTATORS HERE.
WE ARE DONE WITH IT.
>> IT'S REALLY MOVING TO SEE SO
MANY OF YOU HERE TODAY.
BECAUSE I KNOW THAT YOU'RE HERE
BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE IN
DEMOCRACY.
YOU ARE HERE BECAUSE YOU LOVE
YOUR COUNTRY.
BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THIS
COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED TO REJECT
(04:13):
OLIGARCHY.
YET IN WASHINGTON D.C. RIGHT NOW
THE STREETS ARE BEING PUMMELED
BY TANKS BECAUSE OF ONE MAN'S
FRAGILE EGO.
BOO.
PERHAPS EASTERN WORSE IN DC
TODAY MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
(04:33):
CONTINUE TO LICK THE BOOTS OF A
MAN WHO WANTS TO TAKE AWAY NOT
ONLY THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN, NOT
ONLY THE RIGHTS OF LGBTQ PEOPLE,
NOT ONLY THE RIGHTS OF PEOPLE OF
COLOR, OF IMMIGRANTS HE WANTS TO
TAKE AWAY EVERYBODY'S RIGHTS.
EVERYBODY'S EXCEPT FOR HIS AND
HIS BOOT LIQUORS.
(04:54):
I KNOW YOU LIKE ME, SOMETIMES
FEEL POWERLESS AND AT YOUR WIT'S
END WE HAVE TO KEEP GOING.
WE HAVE TO DO IT FOR THE ONES
WHO CANNOT BE HERE.
>> I FELT THE NEED TO COME HERE
TO SHOW OUR POLITICIANS AND
OTHER AMERICANS THAT THE ACTIONS
OF THIS ADMINISTRATION ARE NOT
APPROPRIATE AND DEEPLY IMMORAL,
(05:16):
DEEPLY CRUEL.
THE CUTTING OF MEDICAID AND
SOCIAL SERVICES, THE TAX BREAKS
FOR THE RICH, THE DEPORTATION OF
VISA HOLDING CITIZENS, IT'S
REALLY IMMORAL AND DISTURBING.
>> I'M HERE TODAY BECAUSE I AM A
PHYSICIAN AND I'VE BEEN A
PHYSICIAN FOR OVER 30 YEARS NOW.
(05:37):
AND I'M HERE BECAUSE I BELIEVE
IN MEDICAID, MEDICAID EXPANSION
HAS MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN
OUR LIVES AND IN MY PATIENTS'
LIVES.
I DON'T WANT TO SEE AT THAT TIME
GO AWAY.
>> I CAME HERE BECAUSE THERE IS
A LONG HISTORY OF PEOPLE NOT
UNDERSTANDING AT THAT TIME IF
THEY WILL COME FOR YOUR
(05:58):
NEIGHBOR, THEY WILL COME FOR
YOU.
AND THAT'S THE MAIN REASON WHY
I'M HERE IS BECAUSE I WANT
PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT IF YOU
HAVE AN OPINION ABOUT THIS, BUT
ARE TOO AFRAID TO VOICE IT,
EVENTUALLY YOU WILL HAVE TO
VOICE IT.
BECAUSE THEY AREN'T SPARING
ANYBODY.
>> I WANT MY DAUGHTER TO GROW
(06:20):
NEWSPAPER A BETTER WORLD.
WE WERE TALKING AND WE THOUGHT
WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER WE WERE
PAST A LOT OF THINGS WE'RE
PROTESTING ABOUT TODAY AND I
WANT MY DAUGHTER TO HAVE A
BETTER WORLD THAN THE ONE WE'RE
LOOKING AT.
>> I HOPE THEY ARE READY TO MAKE
A DIFFERENCE.
I HOPE THEY ARE EVEN ANGRIER
THAN THEY WERE 24 HOURS AGO THEY
ARE READY TO TAKE THAT ANGER TO
(06:42):
THE BALLOT BOX.
NEXT YEAR WE HAVE SO MANY
ELECTIONS IN KENTUCKY UP AND
DOWN THE BALLOT I HOPE FOLKS SEE
WHAT IS HAPPENING AND THEY GET
OUT AND VOTE NEXT YEAR.
WE REACHED OUT TO
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OF KENTUCKY
FOR COMMENT ABOUT SATURDAY'S
RALLIES AND HAVE YET TO HEAR
BACK.
>> THE "NO KINGS" PROTEST THE
SAME DAY AS A MILITARY PARADE IN
(07:06):
WASHINGTON D.C. [AUDIO
(08:14):
INTERRUPTION].
>> YOU KNOW FOR A COUPLE
THOUSAND YEARS WE'VE HAD THIS
DISCUSSION OVER WHAT IS JUST
WAR.
NOT ONLY OUR CIVIL INDICATION
RIZATION BUT OTHERS HAVE HAD
THIS DISCUSSION AND ONE OF THE
THINGS PEOPLE CAME TO A
CONCLUSION, PREVENTATIVE WAR
WASN'T JUST.
AND THERE IS THAT.
BUT THERE IS ALSO THE IDEA THAT
WHAT HAPPENS TO IRAN, YOU
(08:35):
IMAGINE WHAT HAPPENS IN IRAN TO
THE COALESCE AROUND THEIR
GOVERNMENT.
DOES NATIONALISM THRIVE?
AND YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD
LESS LIKELY TO WANT TO NEGOTIATE
AT THIS TIME PARTICULARLY WHEN
THEY MAY FEEL THAT NEGOTIATIONS
WERE ARUES TO PUT THEM AT EASE.
IT'S GOING TO BE HARD TO COME
OUT AND HAVE A NEGOTIATED
(08:56):
SETTLE.
I SEE MORE CARNAGE AND IT IS NOT
THE U.S.'S JOB TO BE INVOLVED.
IRAQ WAS A MESS AND AFGHANISTAN
IS A MESS AND PRESIDENT TRUMP
HAS SHOWN RESTRAINT.
I THINK HIS INSTINCTS ARE NOT TO
BE INVOLVED BUT THERE WILL BE A
LOT OF PRESSURE BY LYNN AND
OTHERS TO GET INVOLVED --
(09:17):
LYNN LINDSEY GRAHAM AND OTHERS.
THE CHAIR OF THE
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE
WAS IN KENTUCKY.
KEN MARTIN SPOKE FRIDAY NIGHT IN
OWENSBORO.
LAURA ROGERS BRINGS US MORE FROM
(09:38):
DAVIS COUNTY.
>> THIS NEW DNC HAS TO INVEST TO
BUILD NOT JUST A WIN IN THE
MOMENT BUT IN THE FUTURE.
>> WE GET IN THE TRENCHES AND
LISTEN TO PEOPLE AGAIN.
>> DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE
CHAIR KEN MARTIN AIMING TO FIRE
UP KENTUCKY DEMOCRATS AS
(09:58):
SOUTHERN STATES ELECT REPUBLICAN
LEADERS.
>> IF I LOOK AT THE CONSERVATIVE
MOVEMENT IN THIS COUNTRY THEY
DON'T LEAVE AN INCH UNCOVERED.
THEY ORGANIZE EVERYWHERE.
THAT IS WHAT OUR PARTY HAS TO DO
WE CANNOT BE A PARTY COMPETING
IN SEVEN BATTLEGROUND STATES AND
CONGRESSIONAL SEATS.
>> THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY NEEDS TO
COMPETE EVERYWHERE.
>> THE DNC ENACTED THE 57 STATE
(10:21):
STRATEGY INVESTING MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS IN RACES ACROSS ALL
STATES AND TERRITORIES.
>> THIS IS THE DEEPEST
INVESTMENTS WE HAVE MADE IN THE
GRASSROOTS OF OUR PARTY OUR
STATE PARTIES.
>> WE HAVE TO START WINNING IN
KENTUCKY COUNTY JUDGES, OUR
LEGISLATORS.
AND THAT INVESTMENT THAT RECORD
1.2 MILLION INVESTMENT THAT IS
GOING INTO STATES EVERY SINGLE
(10:42):
MONTH IS GOING TO BE
TRANSFORMATIVE.
>> THE PARTY LOOKING TO
DEMOCRATIC GOVERNORS LIKE
KENTUCKY'S ANDY BESHEAR TO LEAD
REBUILDING EFFORTS.
>> Gov. Andy Beshear (10:52):
DEMOCRATIC
GOVERNORS ARE IN THEIR
COMMUNITIES EVERYDAY.
WE ARE CLOSE WITH THE PEOPLE WE
SERVE AND MORE THAN JUST ABOUT
ANY OTHER SET OF ELECTED
OFFICIALS WE ARE THE COMMON
SENSE GET THINGS DONE TYPE OF
LEADERS THAT THE DEMOCRATIC
NEEDS.
>> AND NEXT YEAR WIN DEMOCRATIC
ELECTIONS IN KENTUCKY.
>> THIS YEAR WILL SERVE AS CHAIR
(11:13):
AS THE DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR'S
ASSOCIATION WORKING TO RECRUIT
AND ELECT MORE GOVERNORS FROM
HIS PARTY.
>> I'M VERY EXCITED NOT JUST
ABOUT THIS YEAR IN NEW JERSEY
AND VIRGINIA WHICH WE'RE GOING
TO FLIP WE WILL HAVE EXCITING
POSSIBILITIES NEXT YEAR IN
PLACES PEOPLE ARE NOT EXPECTING
RIGHT NOW.
>> THIS LEADERSHIP COMES AS
(11:33):
THERE'S SPECULATION BESHEAR WILL
MAKE A RUN FOR THE WHITE HOUSE
IN 2028, SOMETHING MARTIN WAS
PRESSED ON FRIDAY NIGHT.
>> IF HE WANTS TO UNARE HE
SHOULD.
HE IS A GREAT GUY, A WONDERFUL
GOVERNOR.
I HAVE HELPED RAISE MONEY FOR
HIM IN THE PAST.
I LIKE GOVERNOR BESHEAR.
>> MARTIN IS TRYING TO WIN BACK
VOTER ENGAGEMENT AND SUPPORT.
(11:54):
>> WHAT WE'VE SEEN AROUND THE
COUNTRY IN FOUR SHORT MONTHS
DONALD TRUMP PISSED OFF EVERYONE
THAT SUPPORTED HIM IN THE LAST
YEAR.
INDEPENDENT VOTERS MODERATE
REPUBLICANS ARE HAVING BUYERS
REMORSE.
>> THEY WANT TO SHIFT THE
NARRATIVE TO KITCHEN TABLE
ISSUES LIKE JOBS, THE ECONOMY
AND HEALTHCARE.
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP'S TARIFF
(12:15):
POLICIES ARE INCREASING PRICES
MAKING IT TOUGHER AND SLOWING
DOWN JOBS AND SLOWING DOWN WAGES
THE YOU LOOK AT WHAT THAT BIG
UGLY BILL DOES, IT WILL
DEVASTATE RURAL HEALTHCARE.
THOSE ARE TWO AREAS WHERE
DEMOCRATS CAN REEARN THE FAITH
OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
BECAUSE WE ARE IN THE RIGHT
PLACE.
CARING ABOUT PEOPLE AND TRYING
(12:35):
TO MAKE THEIR LIFE BETTER.
>> DEMOCRATS HOPING THAT
MESSAGING WILL RESONATE WITH
VOTERS HEADING INTO NEXT YEAR'S
MID-MATERIALS.
>> THAT IS HOW WE GET PEOPLE
LEAVING IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
AGAIN.
>> Renee (12:49):
"KENTUCKY EDITION" I'M
LAURA ROGERS.
>> Christie (12:51):
THE KENTUCKY
DEMOCRATIC PARTY SOLD 475
TICKETS TO THE DINNER, THE
LARGEST SINCE 2012.
A STATE LAWMAKER FACING
ALLEGATIONS OF HARASSING WOMEN
WAS IN COURT TODAY.
DEMOCRAT DANIEL GROSSBERG OF
LOUISVILLE PLEADED WITH A JUDGE
TO INTERVENE IN A STATE
INVESTIGATION AGAINST HIM.
THE JUDGE DENIED THE MOTION
(13:12):
HOURS AFTER THE HEARING.
THE HERALD-LEADER REPORTS
GROSSBERG'S COURT COMPLAINT SAYS
HE HAS BEEN DENIED DUE PROCESS
AND WAS TARGETED FOR BEING
JEWISH.
LEADERS OF HIS OWN PARTY HAVE
BEEN CALLING FOR HIS RESIGNATION
INCLUDING GOVERNOR ANDY BESHEAR
ASKED ABOUT GROSSBERG FRIDAY
NIGHT IN OWENSBORO.
>> HE IS NOT A VICTIM.
(13:33):
HE SHOULD RESIGN.
DANIEL GROSSBERG NEEDS TO WORK
ON HIMSELF AND NOT WORK IN
FRANKFORT.
THE KENTUCKY
LEGISLATIVE ETHICS COMMISSION
THE BODY INVESTIGATING GROSSBERG
OFFERED HIM A SETTLE MANY LAST
WEEK WHICH HE REFUSED.
AT THAT TIME COMMISSION MEETS
TOMORROW MORNING.
>>> A CASE ABOUT GUBERNATORIAL
(13:54):
POWER CONTINUES TO PLAY OUT IN
COURT.
ANDY BESHEAR IS ASKING THE
KENTUCKY SUPREME COURT TO
OVERTURN A COURT'S RECALLING ARD
REGARDING A BILL PASSED IN 2022.
THE BILL EXPANDED THE EXECUTIVE
BRANCH ETHICS COMMISSION FROM
FIVE TO SEVEN AND RESTRICTS THE
GOVERNOR TO TWO APPOINTMENTS
WITH THE REMAINING FIVE BEING
(14:14):
APPOINTED BY OTHER STATE
OFFICERS.
LAST WEEK, SECRETARY OF STATE
MICHAEL ADAMS COMMENTED ON A NEW
BRIEF FILED BY HIS FELLOW
OFFICERS ALL OF WHOM ARE
REPUBLICAN.
QUOTE, WHILE GOVERNOR BESHEAR
CLAIMS HE IS NOT INVOLVED IN
ACTIONS OF THE ETHICS COMMISSION
AS IT IS FULLY INDEPENDENT UNDER
STATE LAW, HE IS TELLING THE
(14:35):
SUPREME COURT IN HIS LAWSUIT
AGAINST US, THAT HE MUST
PERSONALLY CONTROL THE ETHICS
COMMISSION.
BOTH CANNOT BE TRUE.
END QUOTE.
THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH ETHICS
COMMISSION MADE HEADLINES IN MAY
WHEN IT RENEWED ITS
INVESTIGATION INTO FORMER
KENTUCKY ATTORNEY GENERAL DANIEL
CAMERON REGARDING DONATIONS FOR
THE FAILED 2023 CAMPAIGN FOR
(14:56):
GOVERNOR.
CAMERON IS RUNNING TO REPLACE
U.S. SENATOR MITCH McCONNELL.
>>> KENTUCKY IS ABOUT TO GET
ANOTHER $73 MILLION IN
SETTLEMENT MONEY TO FIGHT THE
STATE'S DRUG CRISIS.
ATTORNEY GENERAL RUSSELL COLEMAN
SAYS 55 U.S. STATES AND
TERRITORIES SETTLED WITH PURDUE
PHARMA AND THE SACKLER FAMILY
(15:16):
THE OWNERS OF PURDUE.
IT IS A SETTLEMENT OF $7.4
BILLION.
THE STATES AND TERRITORIES
ACCUSED PURDUE PHARMA OF
MARKETING OPIOID PRODUCTS FOR
DECADES CONTRIBUTING TO THE
NATION'S OPIOID ADDICTION
CRISIS.
ATTORNEY GENERAL RUSSELL COLEMAN
SAYS HALF OF KENTUCKY'S 73
MILLION WILL BE DISTRIBUTED BY
(15:37):
THE KENTUCKY OPIOID ABATEMENT
ADVISORY COMMISSION THE OTHER
HALF WILL GO TO CITIES AND
COUNTIES.
[♪♪]
IT'S A NEW AGE FOR COLLEGE
ATHLETICS.
EARLIER THIS MONTH, A FEDERAL
JUDGE APPROVED THE TERMS IN THE
HOUSE VERSUS NCAA SETTLEMENT.
(15:58):
THE SETTLEMENT UNIVERSITIES CAN
DIRECTLY PAY STUDENT ATHLETES
THROUGH REVENUE SHARING.
SOME SAY COLLEGE SPORTS WILL
NEVER BE THE SAME BUT THE
UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY IS
EMBRACING THE NEW STRUCTURE.
EMILY SISK HAS MORE ON WHAT THIS
MEANS FOR SPORTS FANS AND THE
KENTUCKY WILDCATS.
>> UNIVERSITIES ACROSS THE
(16:18):
COUNTRY CAN NOW OPT-IN TO
REVENUE SHARING MEANING PART OF
THE SCHOOL'S ANNUAL REVENUE GOES
STRAIGHT TO ATHLETES.
20.5 MILLION DOLLARS IS THE
AMOUNT A SCHOOL CAN GIVE ITS
PLAYERS FOR THE FIRST YEAR.
WHERE IS THAT MONEY COMING FROM?
>> THERE IS NO INFUSION OF 20.5
MILLION COMING FROM AN OUTSIDE
SOURCE.
EACH SCHOOL IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
(16:40):
COMING UP WITH THE ADDITIONAL
REVENUE TO MAKE THIS WORK.
>> THE STORY IS HOW THAT MONEY
DOES GET ALLOCATED BETWEEN THE
PROGRAMS ON CAMPUS.
>> INDIVIDUAL SCHOOLS WILL GET
TO CHOOSE HOW THEY DIVIDE THAT
MONEY UP BETWEEN SPORTS.
I EXPECT THERE TO BE A LOT OF
CONTENTION ON CAMPUSES.
(17:01):
AND HOW THAT IS DONE.
>> MARK'S STORY IS WITH THE
LEXINGTON HERALD-LEADER HE SAYS
THAT WILL APPLY TO THE
UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY.
>> THERE'S BEEN A PICKLE WITH
THIS BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY U.K.'S
MARQUIS SPORTS PROGRAM IS MEN'S
BASKETBALL.
BUT THE SPORT THAT MAKES THE
(17:22):
MOST MONEY IS FOOTBALL.
AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE EVOLVING
NATURE OF COLLEGE ATHLETICS IT'S
FOOTBALL THAT DICTATES WHAT
CONFERENCE THESE REALIGNMENTS
AND IF YOU WANT TO BE REGARDED
AS A QUOTE-UNQUOTE HIGHEST LEVEL
PROGRAM FOOTBALL IS THE KEY TO
THAT.
>> U.K.'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES HELD
A MEETING LAST THURSDAY TO
(17:44):
DISCUSS IMPLICATIONS OF THE NEW
STRUCTURE.
MITCH BARNHART SAID FOOTBALL AND
BASKETBALL RAKE IN THE MOST
MONEY THEY WILL BE BASING THEIR
DECISION ON MORE THAN THAT.
>> IT WAS CLEAR TO ALSO POINT
OUT THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN IN THE
BUSINESS OF RANKING TEAMS THIS
IS OUR NUMBER ONE AND DOWN THE
LIST.
(18:04):
SOMEONE COMPETING FOR A
CHAMPIONSHIP IS WORKING JUST AS
HARD AS SOMEONE COMPETING FOR A
CHAMPIONSHIP IN ANOTHER SPORT
BUT IT DOES HAVE TO GET
ALLOCATED IT HAS TO BE DIVIDED
UP.
WHEN I ASKED IF THAT DECISION
HAS BEEN MADE AND IF NOT WHEN
WILL THAT BE MADE HE KEPT IT
CLOSE TO THE VEST.
(18:24):
AND THE FOLLOW-UP YOU IS ARE YOU
WORRIED ABOUT A COMPETITIVE
DISADVANTAGE IF OTHER SCHOOLS
KNOW HOW MUCH YOU ARE GIVING TO
FOOTBALL, BASKETBALL, OR
SWIMMING DOWN THE LIST AND HE
SAID NO I'M NOT WORRIED AT ALL.
>> U.K. HAS YET TO REVEAL THEY
WILL SPLIT UP THE $20.5 MILLION
OTHER SCHOOLS HAVE GONE PUBLIC.
(18:46):
>> GEORGIA TO NAME ONE OF THE
SEC, I THINK SAID 75% FOOTBALL,
15% MEN'S BASKETBALL, 5% WOMEN'S
BASKETBALL, AND THEN 5%
EVERYTHING ELSE.
>> THE NEW SYSTEM BRINGS UP
EQUITY CONCERNS WHEN IT COMES TO
DIVIDING MONEY BETWEEN MEN'S AND
WOMEN'S PROGRAMSISM I THINK
TITLE IX IS A QUESTION IN TERMS
(19:09):
HOW THIS IMPACTS WOMEN'S SPORTS
AS OPPOSED TO MEN'S SPORTS U.K.
AND EVERYWHERE ELSE IN THE
COUNTRY.
THERE'S BEEN APPEALS FILED
AGAINST THAT INITIAL SETTLEMENT
WE MIGHT HAVE MORE INFORMATION
IN THE DAYS, WEEKS, MONTHS,
YEARS TO COME THESE THINGS TAKE
TIME.
>> THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY
SAYS THEY ARE LEADING THE CHARGE
IN EMBRACING THE NEW SYSTEM.
BUT ONE OF THE BIGGEST QUESTIONS
REMAINS (19:31):
HOW WILL ALL THE
CHANGES IMPACT SPORTS FANS?
>> THE KEY THING TO KNOW THERE
IS A LOT WE DON'T KNOW.
PROBABLY THE FIRST CONCERN IS
RAISING TICKET PRICES?
IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE EVERYTHING
GOES UP OVER TIME, I WOULD
ASSUME IT WILL.
I DON'T KNOW THAT IT NECESSARILY
WILL IMMEDIATELY.
>> SO MANY FANS WHO WATCH THIS
(19:52):
OR READ ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ARE
BOGGED DOWN BY THE DETAILS.
AND I THINK COME KICKOFF OR
TIP-OFF OR WHATEVER IT IS,
PEOPLE WON'T CARE.
THEY WILL WANT TO SEE THEIR TEAM
WIN INTO THE REVENUE SHARING
SYSTEM BEGINS ON JULY FIRST.
FOR "KENTUCKY EDITION" I'M EMILY
SISK.
>> Christie (20:12):
"KENTUCKY EDITION"
ALSO REACHED OUT TO THE
UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE TO
CHECK ON ITS PLANS FOLLOWING THE
SETTLEMENT.
THE CARDS ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT
SAID IT HAS NO STATEMENT AT THIS
TIME.
>>> MORE KENTUCKIANS ARE
LEARNING AT THE STATE COLLEGES
AND UNIVERSITIES.
THE COUNCIL ON POST-SECONDARY
EDUCATION JUST PUT OUT THE
LATEST PROGRESS REPORT.
IT SHOWS ENROLLMENT IN THE
(20:33):
KENTUCKY COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL
COLLEGE SYSTEM WENT UP 6.8% FROM
THE FALL OF 2023 TO THE FALL OF
2024.
AND UNDERGRADUATE ENROLLMENT WAS
UP 3.9% AT PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES
DURING THAT SAME TIME.
GRADUATION RATES WERE ALSO UP.
(20:54):
[♪♪]
HEY, I BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW THIS.
KENTUCKY IS HOME TO THE LARGEST
ICELANDIC HORSE FARM IN NORTH
AMERICA.
LETTLEIKI IN SHELBYVILLE HOUSES
MORE THAN 90 OF THE FRIENDLY
(21:14):
FURRY ANIMALS.
>> MY DAUGHTER DECIDED SHE
WANTED TO HAVE A HORSE AND AT
SEVEN SHE NEEDED TO HAVE A SAFE
HORSE.
SO SHE WENT LOOKING AND DECIDED
ICE LAND DICKS WERE A GREAT
BREED.
THEY HAVE WONDERFUL TEMPERAMENTS
THEY ARE EASY GOING AND SMALLER
HORSES AND THE LEADING IMPORTER
(21:35):
OF ICELANDICS AT THAT TIME WAS
IN OLDHAM COUNTY NEXT DOOR.
IT'S BEEN A WONDERFUL JOURNEY
FOR US FOR OVER 20 YEARS WITH
ICELANDIC HORSES.
THESE HORSES WERE ORIGINAL
ANCIENT HORSES OF EUROPE BROUGHT
BY THE VIKINGS TO ICELAND.
IT'S WARMER THAN CHICAGO BUT
THEY HAD TO ADAPT BEING IN
(21:56):
ICELAND.
SO THEY STARTED AT FIRST, HAVING
TO EAT VERY LITTLE BECAUSE
THERE'S THREE MONTHS OF GRASS IN
THE SUMMER THEY HAD TO ADAPT AND
EAT 80% OF THEIR ANNUAL CALORIES
IN THE SUMMER.
AND THEY EAT SEAWEED.
(22:19):
PARTLY BECAUSE THERE ARE NO
PREDATORS IN ICELAND THAT MEANS
THEY DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT
SOME FLIGHT THAT OTHER HORSES
HAVE.
THEY ALSO DEVELOPED A SECOND
COAT IN THE WINTER THEY ARE
FUZZY THEY LOOK LIKE WOOLY TEDDY
BEARS.
THEY ADAPTED TO THIS SOMEWHAT
HARSH CLIMATE AND THE ICELANDERS
(22:42):
USED THEM FOR EVERYTHING.
WE TRY TO RAISE OUR HORSES IN
THE TRADITIONAL ICELANDIC WAY
FOR THE FIRST THREE YEARS OF
THEIR LIFE THEY GROW UP IN A
HERD AFTER WEANED FROM THEIR
MOTHERS.
AND LEARN MANNERS FROM OLDER
HORSES, UNCLE AND AUNT HORSES
WHO TEACH THEM HOW TO GIVE EACH
OTHER SPACE AND HOW TO BEHAVE.
(23:03):
AND THEN WHEN THEY ARE THREE WE
BRING THEM IN FOR TWO SHORT
WEEKS.
AND THEY LEARN SOME BASICS OF
HOW TO BE HORSES AND IT'S EASY.
IT'S NOT DIFFICULT AT ALL.
BECAUSE THEY HAVE LEARNED SOME
OF THE POLITTENESS FROM THE
OTHER HORSES.
AND THEN THEY GO AWAY FOR A YEAR
AND WHEN THEY COME BACK WHEN
THEY ARE FOUR THEY REMEMBER
(23:25):
ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING.
AND THEN WE DON'T ACTUALLY START
RIDING THEM UNTIL THEY ARE FIVE.
AND THEY CAN'T BE IN SERIOUS
COMPETITION UNTIL THEY ARE SIX
WHEN ALL BONES AND MUSCLES HAVE
FULLY DEVELOPED.
AND THAT'S PART OF THE REASON
THE HORSES LIVE SO LONG.
WE HAVE MANY HORSES IN THEIR
30s HERE ON THE FARM.
YOU CAN FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH
(23:46):
THEM.
THEY ARE STILL HORSES THEY CAN
GO FAST AND THEY CAN BE FUN BUT
THEY HAVE A VERY GOOD
RELATIONSHIP WITH HUMAN BEINGS
AND THAT IS PART OF WHAT IS NICE
FOR PEOPLE WHEN THEY FIRST START
RIDING HERE.
HOW INTERESTING.
THE FARM OFFERS RIDING LESSONS
AND HAS A BREEDING PROGRAM WHERE
THEY HAVE THREE FOALS A YEAR.
(24:09):
[♪♪]
ONLY ONE KENTUCKY TEAM LEFT IN
THE COLLEGE WORLD SERIES IN
OMAHA.
THE MURRAY STATE RACERS ARE OUT
AFTER ON THE WRONG SIDE OF A

ARKANSAS WON 3-0.
THE THIRD NO-HITTER IN COLLEGE

NOW, LOUISVILLE IS STILL IN THE
TOURNAMENT.
THE CARDS PLAY TOMORROW.

TONIGHT WE LOOK AT THE FOUNDING
OF HARRODSBURG A FUTURE
SENATOR'S PERFECT GAME AND
(24:51):
LEXINGTON'S TOWN DOG AS OUR TOBY
GIBBS TELLS US ABOUT THIS WEEK
IN KENTUCKY HISTORY.
[♪♪]
>> JAMES HARROD AND A GROUP OF
30 MEN FOUNDED FORT HARROD ON
JUNE 16TH, 1774 AND IT WOULD
BECOME HARRODSBURG.
(25:13):
ON JUNE 18TH, 1792 LESS THAN A
MONTH AFTER BECOMING A STATE
KENTUCKY PICKED THE FIRST TWO
U.S. SENATORS, JOHN BROWN AND
JOHN EDWARDS.
ON JUNE 21, 1964, FUTURE U.S.
SENATOR TIM BUNKING PITCHED A
PERFECT GAME FOR THE
PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES AS THEY
BLANKED THE METS 6-0 AT SHEA
(25:35):
STADIUM IN NEW YORK.
BUNKING LATER SERVED IN THE U.S.
HOUSE AND IN 1999 THE U.S.
SENATE.
GOVERNOR JCW BECKHAM LAID THE
CORNERSTONE OF THE CAPITOL
BUILDING ON JUNE 16TH 1906.
CONSTRUCTION TOOK FOUR YEARS
WITH THE CAPITOL OPENING IN
(25:56):
1910.
LOUISVILLE'S CHURCHILL DOWNS
HOSTED AN AIRSHOW ON JUNE 18TH,
1910 GLEN CURTIS TOOK PART
BELIEVED TO BE THE FIRST
DEMONSTRATION OF AN AIRPLANE IN
KENTUCKY.
YOU MIGHT THINK BOURBON IS
KENTUCKY'S OFFICIAL DRINK BUT
(26:17):
THE STATE NAMED MILK THE
OFFICIAL DRINK ON JUNE 20TH,
2005.
SMILEY PETE DIED ON JUNE 15TH
1957.
HE WAS A STRAY DOG WHO BECAME A
FIXTURE IN DOWNTOWN LEXINGTON
AROUND MAIN AND LIMESTONE
STREETS STARTING IN 1946.
HE BECAME THE UNOFFICIAL TOWN

TONIGHT FOR RENEE SHAW.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
>>> IN MINNESOTA, POLICE HAVE
HAVE THE MAN ACCUSED OF KILLING
A DEMOCRATIC STATE LAWMAKER AND
HER HUSBAND AND SHOOTING ANOTHER
LAWMAKER AND HIS WIFE.
POLICE SAY VANCE BOELTER
SURRENDERED TO POLICE AFTER THEY
(01:43):
FOUND HIM IN THE WOODS NEAR HIS
HOME.
HE IS ACCUSED OF TWO COUNTS OF
MURDER AND TWO COUNTS OF
ATTEMPTED MURDER.
IN KENTUCKY, LEADERS OF BOTH
POLITICAL PARTIES ARE CONDEMNING
THE VIOLENCE.
HOUSE SPEAKER DAVID OSBORNE SAYS
HE HAD WORKED IN THE PAST WITH
REPRESENTATIVE MELISSA HORTMAN
WHEN SHE WAS MINNESOTA HOUSE
SPEAKER.
(02:04):
OSBORNE SAID THIS IN A
STATEMENT.
QUOTE EARLY INDICATIONS SUGGEST
THAT THE INDIVIDUALS WERE
TARGETED DUE TO THEIR PUBLIC
SERVICE AND THE POLITICAL
POSITIONS THEY HELD.
WHILE POLITICAL DEBATE IS
CRITICAL TO OUR REPUBLIC WE
CANNOT FORGET THAT IT EXISTS
ONLY TO ADVANCE GOOD PUBLIC
POLICY FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR
STATE AND NATION.
(02:24):
RESPECT MUST BE AT THE
FOUNDATION OF EVERY DISAGREEMENT
AND WE MUST NOT ALLOW POLITICAL
DIFFERENCES TO HARDEN INTO
HATRED AND VIOLENCE.
END QUOTE.
COLMON ELRIDGE CHAIR OF THE
KENTUCKY DEMOCRATIC PARTY PUT
OUT THIS STATEMENT, WHAT
HAPPENED IN MINNESOTA IS
UNACCEPTABLE IN A FREE
DEMOCRACY.
NO AMERICAN SHOULD LIVE IN FARE
(02:45):
OF BECOMING THE TARGET OF
VIOLENCE FOR THEIR POLITICAL
BELIEFS OR SERVICE TO THEIR
COMMUNITIES.
OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH THE
VICTIMS' FAMILIES AND LOVED
ONES.
END QUOTE.
SATURDAY MARKED A NATIONWIDE DAY
OF PROTESTS AS MILLIONS ACROSS
THE COUNTRY GATHERED TO TAKE
PART IN "NO KINGS" RALLIES
PROTESTING PRESIDENT DONALD
(03:05):
TRUMP AND HIS ADMINISTRATION.
RALLIES WERE MELD IN 2,000
LOCATIONS IN KENTUCKY PROTESTS
WERE SCHEDULED IN MORE THAN A
DOZEN CITIES INCLUDING BOWLING
GREEN, SOMERSET, HOPKINSVILLE
AND ELIZABETHTOWN.
PROTESTORS GATHERED IN DOWNTOWN
LOUISVILLE TO HEAR FROM SPEAKERS
INCLUDING REPRESENTATIVE MORGAN
MCGARVEY, THE CROWD THEN MARCHED
THROUGH DOWNTOWN.
(03:27):
LEXINGTON'S RALLY ALSO DREW A
LARGE CROWD.
AMONG THE SPEAKERS AUTHOR AND
FORMER KENTUCKY POET LAUREATE,
SILAS HOUSE.
>> TODAY'S EVENT IS TO MAKE OUR
VOICES HEARD.
WE WANT DC AND THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION AND THE REST OF
THE WORLD TO SEE THAT WE DON'T
(03:49):
WANT DICTATORS HERE.
WE ARE DONE WITH IT.
>> IT'S REALLY MOVING TO SEE SO
MANY OF YOU HERE TODAY.
BECAUSE I KNOW THAT YOU'RE HERE
BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE IN
DEMOCRACY.
YOU ARE HERE BECAUSE YOU LOVE
YOUR COUNTRY.
BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THIS
COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED TO REJECT
(04:13):
OLIGARCHY.
YET IN WASHINGTON D.C. RIGHT NOW
THE STREETS ARE BEING PUMMELED
BY TANKS BECAUSE OF ONE MAN'S
FRAGILE EGO.
BOO.
PERHAPS EASTERN WORSE IN DC
TODAY MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
(04:33):
CONTINUE TO LICK THE BOOTS OF A
MAN WHO WANTS TO TAKE AWAY NOT
ONLY THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN, NOT
ONLY THE RIGHTS OF LGBTQ PEOPLE,
NOT ONLY THE RIGHTS OF PEOPLE OF
COLOR, OF IMMIGRANTS HE WANTS TO
TAKE AWAY EVERYBODY'S RIGHTS.
EVERYBODY'S EXCEPT FOR HIS AND
HIS BOOT LIQUORS.
(04:54):
I KNOW YOU LIKE ME, SOMETIMES
FEEL POWERLESS AND AT YOUR WIT'S
END WE HAVE TO KEEP GOING.
WE HAVE TO DO IT FOR THE ONES
WHO CANNOT BE HERE.
>> I FELT THE NEED TO COME HERE
TO SHOW OUR POLITICIANS AND
OTHER AMERICANS THAT THE ACTIONS
OF THIS ADMINISTRATION ARE NOT
APPROPRIATE AND DEEPLY IMMORAL,
(05:16):
DEEPLY CRUEL.
THE CUTTING OF MEDICAID AND
SOCIAL SERVICES, THE TAX BREAKS
FOR THE RICH, THE DEPORTATION OF
VISA HOLDING CITIZENS, IT'S
REALLY IMMORAL AND DISTURBING.
>> I'M HERE TODAY BECAUSE I AM A
PHYSICIAN AND I'VE BEEN A
PHYSICIAN FOR OVER 30 YEARS NOW.
(05:37):
AND I'M HERE BECAUSE I BELIEVE
IN MEDICAID, MEDICAID EXPANSION
HAS MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN
OUR LIVES AND IN MY PATIENTS'
LIVES.
I DON'T WANT TO SEE AT THAT TIME
GO AWAY.
>> I CAME HERE BECAUSE THERE IS
A LONG HISTORY OF PEOPLE NOT
UNDERSTANDING AT THAT TIME IF
THEY WILL COME FOR YOUR
(05:58):
NEIGHBOR, THEY WILL COME FOR
YOU.
AND THAT'S THE MAIN REASON WHY
I'M HERE IS BECAUSE I WANT
PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT IF YOU
HAVE AN OPINION ABOUT THIS, BUT
ARE TOO AFRAID TO VOICE IT,
EVENTUALLY YOU WILL HAVE TO
VOICE IT.
BECAUSE THEY AREN'T SPARING
ANYBODY.
>> I WANT MY DAUGHTER TO GROW
(06:20):
NEWSPAPER A BETTER WORLD.
WE WERE TALKING AND WE THOUGHT
WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER WE WERE
PAST A LOT OF THINGS WE'RE
PROTESTING ABOUT TODAY AND I
WANT MY DAUGHTER TO HAVE A
BETTER WORLD THAN THE ONE WE'RE
LOOKING AT.
>> I HOPE THEY ARE READY TO MAKE
A DIFFERENCE.
I HOPE THEY ARE EVEN ANGRIER
THAN THEY WERE 24 HOURS AGO THEY
ARE READY TO TAKE THAT ANGER TO
(06:42):
THE BALLOT BOX.
NEXT YEAR WE HAVE SO MANY
ELECTIONS IN KENTUCKY UP AND
DOWN THE BALLOT I HOPE FOLKS SEE
WHAT IS HAPPENING AND THEY GET
OUT AND VOTE NEXT YEAR.
WE REACHED OUT TO
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OF KENTUCKY
FOR COMMENT ABOUT SATURDAY'S
RALLIES AND HAVE YET TO HEAR
BACK.
>> THE "NO KINGS" PROTEST THE
SAME DAY AS A MILITARY PARADE IN
(07:06):
WASHINGTON D.C. [AUDIO
(08:14):
INTERRUPTION].
>> YOU KNOW FOR A COUPLE
THOUSAND YEARS WE'VE HAD THIS
DISCUSSION OVER WHAT IS JUST
WAR.
NOT ONLY OUR CIVIL INDICATION
RIZATION BUT OTHERS HAVE HAD
THIS DISCUSSION AND ONE OF THE
THINGS PEOPLE CAME TO A
CONCLUSION, PREVENTATIVE WAR
WASN'T JUST.
AND THERE IS THAT.
BUT THERE IS ALSO THE IDEA THAT
WHAT HAPPENS TO IRAN, YOU
(08:35):
IMAGINE WHAT HAPPENS IN IRAN TO
THE COALESCE AROUND THEIR
GOVERNMENT.
DOES NATIONALISM THRIVE?
AND YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD
LESS LIKELY TO WANT TO NEGOTIATE
AT THIS TIME PARTICULARLY WHEN
THEY MAY FEEL THAT NEGOTIATIONS
WERE ARUES TO PUT THEM AT EASE.
IT'S GOING TO BE HARD TO COME
OUT AND HAVE A NEGOTIATED
(08:56):
SETTLE.
I SEE MORE CARNAGE AND IT IS NOT
THE U.S.'S JOB TO BE INVOLVED.
IRAQ WAS A MESS AND AFGHANISTAN
IS A MESS AND PRESIDENT TRUMP
HAS SHOWN RESTRAINT.
I THINK HIS INSTINCTS ARE NOT TO
BE INVOLVED BUT THERE WILL BE A
LOT OF PRESSURE BY LYNN AND
OTHERS TO GET INVOLVED --
(09:17):
LYNN LINDSEY GRAHAM AND OTHERS.
THE CHAIR OF THE
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE
WAS IN KENTUCKY.
KEN MARTIN SPOKE FRIDAY NIGHT IN
OWENSBORO.
LAURA ROGERS BRINGS US MORE FROM
(09:38):
DAVIS COUNTY.
>> THIS NEW DNC HAS TO INVEST TO
BUILD NOT JUST A WIN IN THE
MOMENT BUT IN THE FUTURE.
>> WE GET IN THE TRENCHES AND
LISTEN TO PEOPLE AGAIN.
>> DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE
CHAIR KEN MARTIN AIMING TO FIRE
UP KENTUCKY DEMOCRATS AS
(09:58):
SOUTHERN STATES ELECT REPUBLICAN
LEADERS.
>> IF I LOOK AT THE CONSERVATIVE
MOVEMENT IN THIS COUNTRY THEY
DON'T LEAVE AN INCH UNCOVERED.
THEY ORGANIZE EVERYWHERE.
THAT IS WHAT OUR PARTY HAS TO DO
WE CANNOT BE A PARTY COMPETING
IN SEVEN BATTLEGROUND STATES AND
CONGRESSIONAL SEATS.
>> THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY NEEDS TO
COMPETE EVERYWHERE.
>> THE DNC ENACTED THE 57 STATE
(10:21):
STRATEGY INVESTING MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS IN RACES ACROSS ALL
STATES AND TERRITORIES.
>> THIS IS THE DEEPEST
INVESTMENTS WE HAVE MADE IN THE
GRASSROOTS OF OUR PARTY OUR
STATE PARTIES.
>> WE HAVE TO START WINNING IN
KENTUCKY COUNTY JUDGES, OUR
LEGISLATORS.
AND THAT INVESTMENT THAT RECORD
1.2 MILLION INVESTMENT THAT IS
GOING INTO STATES EVERY SINGLE
(10:42):
MONTH IS GOING TO BE
TRANSFORMATIVE.
>> THE PARTY LOOKING TO
DEMOCRATIC GOVERNORS LIKE
KENTUCKY'S ANDY BESHEAR TO LEAD
REBUILDING EFFORTS.
>> Gov. Andy Beshear (10:52):
DEMOCRATIC
GOVERNORS ARE IN THEIR
COMMUNITIES EVERYDAY.
WE ARE CLOSE WITH THE PEOPLE WE
SERVE AND MORE THAN JUST ABOUT
ANY OTHER SET OF ELECTED
OFFICIALS WE ARE THE COMMON
SENSE GET THINGS DONE TYPE OF
LEADERS THAT THE DEMOCRATIC
NEEDS.
>> AND NEXT YEAR WIN DEMOCRATIC
ELECTIONS IN KENTUCKY.
>> THIS YEAR WILL SERVE AS CHAIR
(11:13):
AS THE DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR'S
ASSOCIATION WORKING TO RECRUIT
AND ELECT MORE GOVERNORS FROM
HIS PARTY.
>> I'M VERY EXCITED NOT JUST
ABOUT THIS YEAR IN NEW JERSEY
AND VIRGINIA WHICH WE'RE GOING
TO FLIP WE WILL HAVE EXCITING
POSSIBILITIES NEXT YEAR IN
PLACES PEOPLE ARE NOT EXPECTING
RIGHT NOW.
>> THIS LEADERSHIP COMES AS
(11:33):
THERE'S SPECULATION BESHEAR WILL
MAKE A RUN FOR THE WHITE HOUSE
IN 2028, SOMETHING MARTIN WAS
PRESSED ON FRIDAY NIGHT.
>> IF HE WANTS TO UNARE HE
SHOULD.
HE IS A GREAT GUY, A WONDERFUL
GOVERNOR.
I HAVE HELPED RAISE MONEY FOR
HIM IN THE PAST.
I LIKE GOVERNOR BESHEAR.
>> MARTIN IS TRYING TO WIN BACK
VOTER ENGAGEMENT AND SUPPORT.
(11:54):
>> WHAT WE'VE SEEN AROUND THE
COUNTRY IN FOUR SHORT MONTHS
DONALD TRUMP PISSED OFF EVERYONE
THAT SUPPORTED HIM IN THE LAST
YEAR.
INDEPENDENT VOTERS MODERATE
REPUBLICANS ARE HAVING BUYERS
REMORSE.
>> THEY WANT TO SHIFT THE
NARRATIVE TO KITCHEN TABLE
ISSUES LIKE JOBS, THE ECONOMY
AND HEALTHCARE.
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP'S TARIFF
(12:15):
POLICIES ARE INCREASING PRICES
MAKING IT TOUGHER AND SLOWING
DOWN JOBS AND SLOWING DOWN WAGES
THE YOU LOOK AT WHAT THAT BIG
UGLY BILL DOES, IT WILL
DEVASTATE RURAL HEALTHCARE.
THOSE ARE TWO AREAS WHERE
DEMOCRATS CAN REEARN THE FAITH
OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
BECAUSE WE ARE IN THE RIGHT
PLACE.
CARING ABOUT PEOPLE AND TRYING
(12:35):
TO MAKE THEIR LIFE BETTER.
>> DEMOCRATS HOPING THAT
MESSAGING WILL RESONATE WITH
VOTERS HEADING INTO NEXT YEAR'S
MID-MATERIALS.
>> THAT IS HOW WE GET PEOPLE
LEAVING IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
AGAIN.
>> Renee (12:49):
"KENTUCKY EDITION" I'M
LAURA ROGERS.
>> Christie (12:51):
THE KENTUCKY
DEMOCRATIC PARTY SOLD 475
TICKETS TO THE DINNER, THE
LARGEST SINCE 2012.
A STATE LAWMAKER FACING
ALLEGATIONS OF HARASSING WOMEN
WAS IN COURT TODAY.
DEMOCRAT DANIEL GROSSBERG OF
LOUISVILLE PLEADED WITH A JUDGE
TO INTERVENE IN A STATE
INVESTIGATION AGAINST HIM.
THE JUDGE DENIED THE MOTION
(13:12):
HOURS AFTER THE HEARING.
THE HERALD-LEADER REPORTS
GROSSBERG'S COURT COMPLAINT SAYS
HE HAS BEEN DENIED DUE PROCESS
AND WAS TARGETED FOR BEING
JEWISH.
LEADERS OF HIS OWN PARTY HAVE
BEEN CALLING FOR HIS RESIGNATION
INCLUDING GOVERNOR ANDY BESHEAR
ASKED ABOUT GROSSBERG FRIDAY
NIGHT IN OWENSBORO.
>> HE IS NOT A VICTIM.
(13:33):
HE SHOULD RESIGN.
DANIEL GROSSBERG NEEDS TO WORK
ON HIMSELF AND NOT WORK IN
FRANKFORT.
THE KENTUCKY
LEGISLATIVE ETHICS COMMISSION
THE BODY INVESTIGATING GROSSBERG
OFFERED HIM A SETTLE MANY LAST
WEEK WHICH HE REFUSED.
AT THAT TIME COMMISSION MEETS
TOMORROW MORNING.
>>> A CASE ABOUT GUBERNATORIAL
(13:54):
POWER CONTINUES TO PLAY OUT IN
COURT.
ANDY BESHEAR IS ASKING THE
KENTUCKY SUPREME COURT TO
OVERTURN A COURT'S RECALLING ARD
REGARDING A BILL PASSED IN 2022.
THE BILL EXPANDED THE EXECUTIVE
BRANCH ETHICS COMMISSION FROM
FIVE TO SEVEN AND RESTRICTS THE
GOVERNOR TO TWO APPOINTMENTS
WITH THE REMAINING FIVE BEING
(14:14):
APPOINTED BY OTHER STATE
OFFICERS.
LAST WEEK, SECRETARY OF STATE
MICHAEL ADAMS COMMENTED ON A NEW
BRIEF FILED BY HIS FELLOW
OFFICERS ALL OF WHOM ARE
REPUBLICAN.
QUOTE, WHILE GOVERNOR BESHEAR
CLAIMS HE IS NOT INVOLVED IN
ACTIONS OF THE ETHICS COMMISSION
AS IT IS FULLY INDEPENDENT UNDER
STATE LAW, HE IS TELLING THE
(14:35):
SUPREME COURT IN HIS LAWSUIT
AGAINST US, THAT HE MUST
PERSONALLY CONTROL THE ETHICS
COMMISSION.
BOTH CANNOT BE TRUE.
END QUOTE.
THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH ETHICS
COMMISSION MADE HEADLINES IN MAY
WHEN IT RENEWED ITS
INVESTIGATION INTO FORMER
KENTUCKY ATTORNEY GENERAL DANIEL
CAMERON REGARDING DONATIONS FOR
THE FAILED 2023 CAMPAIGN FOR
(14:56):
GOVERNOR.
CAMERON IS RUNNING TO REPLACE
U.S. SENATOR MITCH McCONNELL.
>>> KENTUCKY IS ABOUT TO GET
ANOTHER $73 MILLION IN
SETTLEMENT MONEY TO FIGHT THE
STATE'S DRUG CRISIS.
ATTORNEY GENERAL RUSSELL COLEMAN
SAYS 55 U.S. STATES AND
TERRITORIES SETTLED WITH PURDUE
PHARMA AND THE SACKLER FAMILY
(15:16):
THE OWNERS OF PURDUE.
IT IS A SETTLEMENT OF $7.4
BILLION.
THE STATES AND TERRITORIES
ACCUSED PURDUE PHARMA OF
MARKETING OPIOID PRODUCTS FOR
DECADES CONTRIBUTING TO THE
NATION'S OPIOID ADDICTION
CRISIS.
ATTORNEY GENERAL RUSSELL COLEMAN
SAYS HALF OF KENTUCKY'S 73
MILLION WILL BE DISTRIBUTED BY
(15:37):
THE KENTUCKY OPIOID ABATEMENT
ADVISORY COMMISSION THE OTHER
HALF WILL GO TO CITIES AND
COUNTIES.
[♪♪]
IT'S A NEW AGE FOR COLLEGE
ATHLETICS.
EARLIER THIS MONTH, A FEDERAL
JUDGE APPROVED THE TERMS IN THE
HOUSE VERSUS NCAA SETTLEMENT.
(15:58):
THE SETTLEMENT UNIVERSITIES CAN
DIRECTLY PAY STUDENT ATHLETES
THROUGH REVENUE SHARING.
SOME SAY COLLEGE SPORTS WILL
NEVER BE THE SAME BUT THE
UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY IS
EMBRACING THE NEW STRUCTURE.
EMILY SISK HAS MORE ON WHAT THIS
MEANS FOR SPORTS FANS AND THE
KENTUCKY WILDCATS.
>> UNIVERSITIES ACROSS THE
(16:18):
COUNTRY CAN NOW OPT-IN TO
REVENUE SHARING MEANING PART OF
THE SCHOOL'S ANNUAL REVENUE GOES
STRAIGHT TO ATHLETES.
20.5 MILLION DOLLARS IS THE
AMOUNT A SCHOOL CAN GIVE ITS
PLAYERS FOR THE FIRST YEAR.
WHERE IS THAT MONEY COMING FROM?
>> THERE IS NO INFUSION OF 20.5
MILLION COMING FROM AN OUTSIDE
SOURCE.
EACH SCHOOL IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
(16:40):
COMING UP WITH THE ADDITIONAL
REVENUE TO MAKE THIS WORK.
>> THE STORY IS HOW THAT MONEY
DOES GET ALLOCATED BETWEEN THE
PROGRAMS ON CAMPUS.
>> INDIVIDUAL SCHOOLS WILL GET
TO CHOOSE HOW THEY DIVIDE THAT
MONEY UP BETWEEN SPORTS.
I EXPECT THERE TO BE A LOT OF
CONTENTION ON CAMPUSES.
(17:01):
AND HOW THAT IS DONE.
>> MARK'S STORY IS WITH THE
LEXINGTON HERALD-LEADER HE SAYS
THAT WILL APPLY TO THE
UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY.
>> THERE'S BEEN A PICKLE WITH
THIS BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY U.K.'S
MARQUIS SPORTS PROGRAM IS MEN'S
BASKETBALL.
BUT THE SPORT THAT MAKES THE
(17:22):
MOST MONEY IS FOOTBALL.
AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE EVOLVING
NATURE OF COLLEGE ATHLETICS IT'S
FOOTBALL THAT DICTATES WHAT
CONFERENCE THESE REALIGNMENTS
AND IF YOU WANT TO BE REGARDED
AS A QUOTE-UNQUOTE HIGHEST LEVEL
PROGRAM FOOTBALL IS THE KEY TO
THAT.
>> U.K.'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES HELD
A MEETING LAST THURSDAY TO
(17:44):
DISCUSS IMPLICATIONS OF THE NEW
STRUCTURE.
MITCH BARNHART SAID FOOTBALL AND
BASKETBALL RAKE IN THE MOST
MONEY THEY WILL BE BASING THEIR
DECISION ON MORE THAN THAT.
>> IT WAS CLEAR TO ALSO POINT
OUT THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN IN THE
BUSINESS OF RANKING TEAMS THIS
IS OUR NUMBER ONE AND DOWN THE
LIST.
(18:04):
SOMEONE COMPETING FOR A
CHAMPIONSHIP IS WORKING JUST AS
HARD AS SOMEONE COMPETING FOR A
CHAMPIONSHIP IN ANOTHER SPORT
BUT IT DOES HAVE TO GET
ALLOCATED IT HAS TO BE DIVIDED
UP.
WHEN I ASKED IF THAT DECISION
HAS BEEN MADE AND IF NOT WHEN
WILL THAT BE MADE HE KEPT IT
CLOSE TO THE VEST.
(18:24):
AND THE FOLLOW-UP YOU IS ARE YOU
WORRIED ABOUT A COMPETITIVE
DISADVANTAGE IF OTHER SCHOOLS
KNOW HOW MUCH YOU ARE GIVING TO
FOOTBALL, BASKETBALL, OR
SWIMMING DOWN THE LIST AND HE
SAID NO I'M NOT WORRIED AT ALL.
>> U.K. HAS YET TO REVEAL THEY
WILL SPLIT UP THE $20.5 MILLION
OTHER SCHOOLS HAVE GONE PUBLIC.
(18:46):
>> GEORGIA TO NAME ONE OF THE
SEC, I THINK SAID 75% FOOTBALL,
15% MEN'S BASKETBALL, 5% WOMEN'S
BASKETBALL, AND THEN 5%
EVERYTHING ELSE.
>> THE NEW SYSTEM BRINGS UP
EQUITY CONCERNS WHEN IT COMES TO
DIVIDING MONEY BETWEEN MEN'S AND
WOMEN'S PROGRAMSISM I THINK
TITLE IX IS A QUESTION IN TERMS
(19:09):
HOW THIS IMPACTS WOMEN'S SPORTS
AS OPPOSED TO MEN'S SPORTS U.K.
AND EVERYWHERE ELSE IN THE
COUNTRY.
THERE'S BEEN APPEALS FILED
AGAINST THAT INITIAL SETTLEMENT
WE MIGHT HAVE MORE INFORMATION
IN THE DAYS, WEEKS, MONTHS,
YEARS TO COME THESE THINGS TAKE
TIME.
>> THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY
SAYS THEY ARE LEADING THE CHARGE
IN EMBRACING THE NEW SYSTEM.
BUT ONE OF THE BIGGEST QUESTIONS
REMAINS (19:31):
HOW WILL ALL THE
CHANGES IMPACT SPORTS FANS?
>> THE KEY THING TO KNOW THERE
IS A LOT WE DON'T KNOW.
PROBABLY THE FIRST CONCERN IS
RAISING TICKET PRICES?
IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE EVERYTHING
GOES UP OVER TIME, I WOULD
ASSUME IT WILL.
I DON'T KNOW THAT IT NECESSARILY
WILL IMMEDIATELY.
>> SO MANY FANS WHO WATCH THIS
(19:52):
OR READ ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ARE
BOGGED DOWN BY THE DETAILS.
AND I THINK COME KICKOFF OR
TIP-OFF OR WHATEVER IT IS,
PEOPLE WON'T CARE.
THEY WILL WANT TO SEE THEIR TEAM
WIN INTO THE REVENUE SHARING
SYSTEM BEGINS ON JULY FIRST.
FOR "KENTUCKY EDITION" I'M EMILY
SISK.
>> Christie (20:12):
"KENTUCKY EDITION"
ALSO REACHED OUT TO THE
UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE TO
CHECK ON ITS PLANS FOLLOWING THE
SETTLEMENT.
THE CARDS ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT
SAID IT HAS NO STATEMENT AT THIS
TIME.
>>> MORE KENTUCKIANS ARE
LEARNING AT THE STATE COLLEGES
AND UNIVERSITIES.
THE COUNCIL ON POST-SECONDARY
EDUCATION JUST PUT OUT THE
LATEST PROGRESS REPORT.
IT SHOWS ENROLLMENT IN THE
(20:33):
KENTUCKY COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL
COLLEGE SYSTEM WENT UP 6.8% FROM
THE FALL OF 2023 TO THE FALL OF
2024.
AND UNDERGRADUATE ENROLLMENT WAS
UP 3.9% AT PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES
DURING THAT SAME TIME.
GRADUATION RATES WERE ALSO UP.
(20:54):
[♪♪]
HEY, I BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW THIS.
KENTUCKY IS HOME TO THE LARGEST
ICELANDIC HORSE FARM IN NORTH
AMERICA.
LETTLEIKI IN SHELBYVILLE HOUSES
MORE THAN 90 OF THE FRIENDLY
(21:14):
FURRY ANIMALS.
>> MY DAUGHTER DECIDED SHE
WANTED TO HAVE A HORSE AND AT
SEVEN SHE NEEDED TO HAVE A SAFE
HORSE.
SO SHE WENT LOOKING AND DECIDED
ICE LAND DICKS WERE A GREAT
BREED.
THEY HAVE WONDERFUL TEMPERAMENTS
THEY ARE EASY GOING AND SMALLER
HORSES AND THE LEADING IMPORTER
(21:35):
OF ICELANDICS AT THAT TIME WAS
IN OLDHAM COUNTY NEXT DOOR.
IT'S BEEN A WONDERFUL JOURNEY
FOR US FOR OVER 20 YEARS WITH
ICELANDIC HORSES.
THESE HORSES WERE ORIGINAL
ANCIENT HORSES OF EUROPE BROUGHT
BY THE VIKINGS TO ICELAND.
IT'S WARMER THAN CHICAGO BUT
THEY HAD TO ADAPT BEING IN
(21:56):
ICELAND.
SO THEY STARTED AT FIRST, HAVING
TO EAT VERY LITTLE BECAUSE
THERE'S THREE MONTHS OF GRASS IN
THE SUMMER THEY HAD TO ADAPT AND
EAT 80% OF THEIR ANNUAL CALORIES
IN THE SUMMER.
AND THEY EAT SEAWEED.
(22:19):
PARTLY BECAUSE THERE ARE NO
PREDATORS IN ICELAND THAT MEANS
THEY DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT
SOME FLIGHT THAT OTHER HORSES
HAVE.
THEY ALSO DEVELOPED A SECOND
COAT IN THE WINTER THEY ARE
FUZZY THEY LOOK LIKE WOOLY TEDDY
BEARS.
THEY ADAPTED TO THIS SOMEWHAT
HARSH CLIMATE AND THE ICELANDERS
(22:42):
USED THEM FOR EVERYTHING.
WE TRY TO RAISE OUR HORSES IN
THE TRADITIONAL ICELANDIC WAY
FOR THE FIRST THREE YEARS OF
THEIR LIFE THEY GROW UP IN A
HERD AFTER WEANED FROM THEIR
MOTHERS.
AND LEARN MANNERS FROM OLDER
HORSES, UNCLE AND AUNT HORSES
WHO TEACH THEM HOW TO GIVE EACH
OTHER SPACE AND HOW TO BEHAVE.
(23:03):
AND THEN WHEN THEY ARE THREE WE
BRING THEM IN FOR TWO SHORT
WEEKS.
AND THEY LEARN SOME BASICS OF
HOW TO BE HORSES AND IT'S EASY.
IT'S NOT DIFFICULT AT ALL.
BECAUSE THEY HAVE LEARNED SOME
OF THE POLITTENESS FROM THE
OTHER HORSES.
AND THEN THEY GO AWAY FOR A YEAR
AND WHEN THEY COME BACK WHEN
THEY ARE FOUR THEY REMEMBER
(23:25):
ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING.
AND THEN WE DON'T ACTUALLY START
RIDING THEM UNTIL THEY ARE FIVE.
AND THEY CAN'T BE IN SERIOUS
COMPETITION UNTIL THEY ARE SIX
WHEN ALL BONES AND MUSCLES HAVE
FULLY DEVELOPED.
AND THAT'S PART OF THE REASON
THE HORSES LIVE SO LONG.
WE HAVE MANY HORSES IN THEIR
30s HERE ON THE FARM.
YOU CAN FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH
(23:46):
THEM.
THEY ARE STILL HORSES THEY CAN
GO FAST AND THEY CAN BE FUN BUT
THEY HAVE A VERY GOOD
RELATIONSHIP WITH HUMAN BEINGS
AND THAT IS PART OF WHAT IS NICE
FOR PEOPLE WHEN THEY FIRST START
RIDING HERE.
HOW INTERESTING.
THE FARM OFFERS RIDING LESSONS
AND HAS A BREEDING PROGRAM WHERE
THEY HAVE THREE FOALS A YEAR.
(24:09):
[♪♪]
ONLY ONE KENTUCKY TEAM LEFT IN
THE COLLEGE WORLD SERIES IN
OMAHA.

LEXINGTON'S TOWN DOG AS OUR TOBY
GIBBS TELLS US ABOUT THIS WEEK
IN KENTUCKY HISTORY.
[♪♪]
>> JAMES HARROD AND A GROUP OF
30 MEN FOUNDED FORT HARROD ON
JUNE 16TH, 1774 AND IT WOULD
BECOME HARRODSBURG.
(25:13):
ON JUNE 18TH, 1792 LESS THAN A
MONTH AFTER BECOMING A STATE
KENTUCKY PICKED THE FIRST TWO
U.S. SENATORS, JOHN BROWN AND
JOHN EDWARDS.
ON JUNE 21, 1964, FUTURE U.S.
SENATOR TIM BUNKING PITCHED A
PERFECT GAME FOR THE
PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES AS THEY
BLANKED THE METS 6-0 AT SHEA
(25:35):
STADIUM IN NEW YORK.
BUNKING LATER SERVED IN THE U.S.
HOUSE AND IN 1999 THE U.S.
SENATE.
GOVERNOR JCW BECKHAM LAID THE
CORNERSTONE OF THE CAPITOL
BUILDING ON JUNE 16TH 1906.
CONSTRUCTION TOOK FOUR YEARS
WITH THE CAPITOL OPENING IN

LOUISVILLE'S CHURCHILL DOWNS
HOSTED AN AIRSHOW ON JUNE 18TH,
1910 GLEN CURTIS TOOK PART
BELIEVED TO BE THE FIRST
DEMONSTRATION OF AN AIRPLANE IN
KENTUCKY.
YOU MIGHT THINK BOURBON IS
KENTUCKY'S OFFICIAL DRINK BUT
(26:17):
THE STATE NAMED MILK THE
OFFICIAL DRINK ON JUNE 20TH,
2005.
SMILEY PETE DIED ON JUNE 15TH
1957.
HE WAS A STRAY DOG WHO BECAME A
