(01:04):
>> GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO
"KENTUCKY EDITION" FOR THIS
MONDAY JUNE 23, I'M KELSEY
STARKS IN OUR LOUISVILLE STUDIO
FILLING IN FOR REN.
A CONGRESSMAN FROM KENTUCKY IS
ONE OF THE MOST OUTSPOKEN
CRITICS OF THE U.S. BOMBING OF
IRAN AND PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP
IS ARGUING BACK.
(01:25):
SATURDAY THE U.S. BOMBED THREE
NUCLEAR SITES IN IRAN AFTER
ISRAEL STARTED BOMBING.
BOTH ISRAEL AND THE U.S. SAYS
ATTACKS SETBACK IRAN'S NUCLEAR
PROGRAM.
IRAN RESPONDED HITTING A U.S.
AIR BASE IN QATAR AFTER THOMAS
MASSIE JOINED CONGRESSMAN RO
KHANNA OF CALIFORNIA A DEMOCRAT,
(01:46):
TO INTRODUCE A BILL DECLARING AN
ATTACK ON IRAN WOULD REQUIRE
CONGRESSALITY APPROVAL.
MASSIE SAYS IT'S
UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
THEY APPEARED ON CBS' FACE THE
NATION YESTERDAY.
>> I KNOW THIS IS AN UNLIKELY
PAIRING YOU ARE AT DIFFERENT
(02:07):
ENDS OF THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM
BUT YOU BOTH WORKED ON THIS
RESOLUTION TO PROHIBITED U.S.
FORCES FROM ENGAGING IN
HOSTILITIES FROM IRAN AND NOT
GETTING AUTHORIZATION FROM
DEPRESS.
AND THE PRESIDENT BLEW PAST
THAT.
>> WE WERE TIRED OF ENDLESS WARS
IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND TIRED OF
(02:27):
WARS IN EASTERN EUROPE.
AND WE WERE PROMISED WE WOULD
PUT OUR VETERANS OUR IMMIGRATION
POLICIES, AND OUR INFRASTRUCTURE
FIRST.
AND SO WHAT RO AND I DID WE DID
THIS LAST WEEK WHEN THEY WERE
RATTLING THE SABRES WE PUT
FORWARD THIS WAR POWERS
(02:49):
RESOLUTION I'VE TEAMED UP WITH
RO KHANNA TO HIS CREDIT WHEN JOE
BIDEN WAS PRESIDENT WE TRIED TO
REIN IN THE EXECUTIVE FOR THE TO
DECLARE WAR AUTHORIZE THE
ENGAGEMENT OF ACTS OF WAR.
>> SOMETHING WE TALKED TO OTHER
LAWMAKERS IN THE SENATE AND
(03:10):
THERE'S EFFORTS TO SUPPORT YOU.
BUT THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE
FROM YOUR OWN PARTY HAS REJECTED
THIS.
HE SAYS THE ARTICLE ONE POWER OF
CONGRESS REALLY ALLOWS FOR THE
PRESIDENT TO DO THIS.
IT WAS A LIMITED NECESSARY
TARGETED STRIKE, HE SAYS.
>> WELL, HE'S PROBABLY REFERRING
TO THE WAR POWERS ACT OF 1973.
(03:31):
BUT THAT'S BEEN MISINTERPRETED.
THERE WERE NO IMMINENT THREAT TO
THE UNITED STATES WHICH IS WHAT
WOULD AUTHORIZE THAT AND THAT IS
PECULIAR TO HEAR THAT FROM THE
SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.
CONGRESS WAS ON VACATION LAST
WEEK WHEN THIS WAS HAPPENING.
WE HAVEN'T BEEN BRIEFED THEY
SHOULD HAVE CALLED US BACK AND
(03:51):
WE SHOULD HAVE DEBATED THIS WAR
POWERS RESOLUTION THAT RO KHANNA
AND I OFFERED INSTEAD OF STAYING
ON VACATION AND DOING
FUNDRAISERS AND SAYING WELL THE
PRESIDENT'S GOT THIS UNDER
CONTROL AND WE WILL CEDE OUR
CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY.
>> Laura (04:08):
TO QUOTE THE NEW YORK
POST PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS GONE
NUCLEAR AN CONGRESSMAN MASSIE
BECAUSE OF MACY'S REACTION TO
THE BOMBING.
THE PRESIDENT POSTED THIS SAYING
MASSIE IS WEAK AND NEGATIVE AND
VOTES NO ON VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING
PUT BEFORE HIM.
A RAND PAUL JUNIOR.
(04:28):
PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS MASSIE IS
NOT MAGA REFERRING TO THE SLOGAN
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
TRUMP IS VOWING TO SUPPORT A
REPUBLICAN OPPONENT TO OPPOSE
MASSIE IN 2026.
THE GOOD NEWS IS WE WILL HAVE A
WONDERFUL AMERICAN PATRIOT
RUNNING AGAINST HIM IN THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY AND I WILL BE
IN KENTUCKY CAMPAIGNING REALLY
(04:49):
HARD.
IT DOESN'T APPEAR ANYONE HAS
PUBLICLY DECLARED THEIR
INTENTION TO RUN AGAINST MASSIE
YET.
ANDY BARR OF THE SIXTH DISTRICT
BACKS THE ATTACK ON IRAN AND
DISAGREES WITH THOMAS MASSIE'S
INTERPRETATION OF THE
CONSTITUTION.
BARR POSTING QUOTE IT KRITD
PARTICULARS OF PRESIDENT TRUMP'S
(05:10):
BOLD ACTION TO DEFEND THE UNITED
STATES ARE DEAD WRONG.
THEY WANT TO WRITE ARTICLE 2 OUT
OF THE CONSTITUTION.
THE PRESIDENT ACTED FULLY WITHIN
HIS CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY END
QUOTE.
U.S. SENATOR MITCH McCONNELL
BACKS THE ATTACK ON IRAN.
HE SAID QUOTE I COMMEND THE
PRESIDENT FOR AUTHORIZE RIZ AING
(05:30):
DECISIVE ACTION AND ALL U.S.
SERVICE MEMBERS RESPONSIBLE FOR
CARRYING IT OUT.
THE UNITED STATES INTEREST IN
DENYING IRAN A NUCLEAR WEAPON
AND STANDING WITH OUR ALLY
ISRAEL AND REESTABLISHING
DETERRENT POWER IS UNDENY ABD
AND URGENT.
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS NOMINATING
CHAD MEREDITH TO SERVE AS A
(05:52):
FEDERAL JUDGE FROM EASTERN
KENTUCKY THAT REQUIRES U.S.
SENATE APPROVAL.
CHAD MEREDITH SERVED AS
KENTUCKY'S SOLICITOR GENERAL AND
A GUEST ON KET'S "KENTUCKY
TONIGHT" IN JUNE OF 2024.
DEMOCRATS CRITICIZED MEREDITH
FOR HIS STAND ON ABORTION AND HE
WAS INVOLVED IN LAST-MINUTE
(06:15):
PARDONS IN 2019 BUT HE HAS THE
BACKS OF MITCH McCONNELL AND
RAND PAUL AND PICKED UP SUPPORT
FROM THE KENTUCKY STATE SENATE'S
REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP PUTTING
OUT THIS STATEMENT SAYING QUOTE.
CHAD HAS A PRINCIPLED LEGAL MIND
AND HIS CAREER HAS BEEN DEFINED
BY PROFESSIONALISM, FAIRNESS AND
A DEEP RESPECT FOR THE
CONSTITUTION.
(06:35):
HE BRINGS A WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE
FROM THE COURTROOM TO APPELLATE
BENCH SHAPED BY THE DEVOTION TO
THE RULE OF LAW.
KENTUCKY'S SENATE MAJORITY FLOOR
LEADER IS.
SENATE BILL 188 REGULATES
PHARMACY BENEFIT MANAGERS OR
(06:56):
PBM'S THEY DECIDE WHICH
MEDICATIONS ARE COVERED BY
INSURANCE.
MAX WISE SPONSORED THE BILL AND
SAYS THE KENTUCKY DEPARTMENT OF
INSURANCE IS RELUCTANT TO
ENFORCE KEY PARTS OF THE
LEGISLATION AND NOW HE IS ASKING
RUSSELL COLEMAN TO ISSUE AN
OPINION HOW THE LAW SHOULD BE
CARRIED OUT SPECIFICALLY SENATOR
WISE KEKS CLARIFICATION WHERE
(07:17):
THE STATE DID FORCE PBM'S FROM
STEERING PATIENTS TO AFFILIATED
PHARMACIES AND IF PBM'S ARE
DOING BUSINESS BUT NOT IN THE
STATE.
IT PASSIONED BOTH THE SENATE AND
HOUSE AND ONE NO VOTE AND WAS
SIGNED INTO LAW BY "GOVERNOR'S
AWARD IN THE ARTS."
(07:39):
>>> WELL, A BRUTAL HEATWAVE IS
HITTING KENTUCKY THIS WEEK.
YOU'VE PROBABLY FELT WITH
TEMPERATURES ABOVE 100°.
CHRISTIE DUTTON FINDS OUT HOW
LONG IT WILL LAST AND WHAT YOU
CAN DO TO BEAT THE HEAT.
>> AFTER THE FIRST WEEKEND OF
SUMMER WE'RE ALREADY COMPLAINING
ABOUT THE HEAT.
(07:59):
MICHAEL IN LOUISVILLE IS HERE.
OKAY, MIKE, WE HAVE HEAT
ADVISORIES GOING ON.
WE HAVE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNINGS
OUTSIDE OF THE AREA.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
AND WHAT KIND OF HEAT ARE WE
LOOKING AT?
>> WE HAVE A BIG DOME OF HIGH
PRESSURE SUMMER ARRIVED IN A
HURRY AND IT'S ALL OVER THE
PLACE INTO KENTUCKY AND
(08:20):
TENNESSEE.
HIGHS IN THE 90s.
HEAT INDEXES OF 105 MAYBE MORE
THAN 105.
OPPRESSIVE HEAT FOR SEVERAL
DAYS.
>> YOU SAID SEVERAL DAYS.
ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HEAT INDEX
TEMPERATURES THAT WILL FEEL LIKE
THE TRIPLE DIGITS FOR THE REST
OF THE WEEK?
>> YEAH, YEAH, SO HEAT INDEX YOU
(08:40):
HAVE YOUR DAYTIME HIGH
TEMPERATURES AND WITH THE
HUMIDITY THAT IS THE REAL FEEL
WHAT IT FEELS LIKE.
AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES IN THE
ABOVE 100 TRIPLE DIGITS MAYBE
110 IN SOME SPOTS.
>> WHY DOES THE HUMIDITY MAKE IT
FEEL HOTTER?
>> BECAUSE YOU CANNOT EVAPORATE
THE SWEAT INFRASTRUCTURE SKIN
(09:01):
WITH THAT MUCH HUMIDITY IN THE
AIR YOUR BODY HAS A HARD TIME
COOLING DOWN AND WHERE WE CAN
SEE TROUBLE THIS WEAK.
>> POOLS ARE GREAT.
YOU DIVE IN AND GET WET AND THAT
EVAPORATION IS A COOLING PROCESS
BUT WITH THE HUMIDITY YOU CANNOT
EVAPORATE THE SWEAT.
YOU KEEP GETTING HOT HOTTER.
(09:23):
WITH HEAT ADVISORIES WHAT DO WE
NEED TO WATCH OUT FOR?
>> ALL OF KENTUCKY IS UNDER THIS
OPPRESSIVE HEAT AND HUMIDITY WE
WILL NOT SEE MUCH COOLING
OVERNIGHT.
THE TEMPERATURES WHEN YOU COULD
OPEN THE WINDOWS AT NIGHT THAT
IS NOT ON THE TABLE FOR THIS
WEEK.
ELDERLY ARE MUCH CONCERNED WE'RE
(09:45):
WATCHING THOSE FOLKS AND YOUNGER
FOLKS INFANTS AND THINGS THEY
DON'T HAVE THE I AM MUP SYSTEMS
WE HAVE TYPICALLY HEALTHY
ADULTINGS.
FOLKS WITH ILLNESSES THEY SHOULD
BE TAKING CARE.
>> AND THIS IS ALSO THE TIME OF
YEAR WHERE WE TALK ABOUT CARS,
THE HEAT HOW MUCH IT HEATS UP
(10:06):
INSIDE THE CAR AND REMINDING
PEOPLE ABOUT KIDS AND PET IT IN
CARS.
>> IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO LOOK
BEFORE YOU LOCK.
IT HAPPENS TO ANYONE.
IT HAPPENS TO DOCTORS, LAWYERS,
AND YOUR FORGET.
80% OF THE HEAT THAT HAPPENS IN
A CAR HAPPENS IN THE FIRST 30
MINUTES.
SO IT HAPPENS WITHIN A FLASH NOT
(10:28):
FOR A MINUTE SHOULD YOU LET YOUR
CHILD ALONE OR PETS.
LOOK BEFORE YOU LOCK.
>> WHEN IS ANY RELIEF HEADED OUR
WAY?
DO YOU SEE ANYTHING IN THE
FUTURE THAT MAY GIVE US A BREAK
FROM THIS HEAT?
>> MAYBE BY NEXT WEEKEND.
SUMMER'S HERE AND IT CAME IN A
HURRY.
I THINK IT WILL BE HERE TO STAY
FOR A LITTLE BIT AND WE HAVE TO
(10:49):
PRACTICE OUR HEAT SAFETY.
STAY AWAY FROM OUTDOORS IF YOU
CAN BETWEEN 10-6 IS WHEN THE SUN
IS AT THE HIGHEST ANGLE.
IF YOU CAN AVOID OUTDOORS IF YOU
WORK OUTSIDE TAKE FREQUENT
BREAKS, FIND SHADE AND DRINK
PLENTY OF WATER.
>> A LOT OF WATER THAT MOST OF
US THINK THAT IS SAFE.
(11:10):
AND SUNSCREEN CAN KEEP YOUR SKIN
COOLER THAT BLOCK FROM THE SUN.
>> IT CAN.
I WILL SAY OUT IN THE SUNLIGHT
IT FEELS HOT SUNSCREEN OR NOT.
MAYBE YOUR COOLING PLACES,
COOLING CENTERS IN YOU ARE
OUTSIDE AND DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO
THAT CALL LOCAL EMERGENCY
MANAGEMENT AND THEY CAN TELL YOU
(11:30):
THE BUILDINGS YOU CAN GO AND
COOL OFF.
>> ANOTHER THINGS WITH ALL THE
HEAT, IS THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY
WIND AND WITHOUT THE WIND OR A
STORM TO CIRCULATE THE AIR, WE
START SEEING THE AIR QUALITY AND
POLLUTION START TO GET BAD, TOO.
AND SO HOW IS THAT GOING TO
FACTOR IN?
>> CERTAINLY WHEN YOU HAVE THE
(11:51):
VEHICLES RIDING AROUND AFTERNOON
ESPECIALLY WITH THE HEAT AND THE
STAGNANT AIR.
IF YOU ARE OUTSIDE EXERCISING
THAT IS WHO IT AFFECTS A LOT.
EXERCISE IN THE MORNING OR THE
LATER EVENING HOURS.
IF YOU ARE SUPER SENSITIVE TO
GAS SMELLS OR OTHER THINGS, TRY
TO STAY INSIDE AS MUCH AS YOU
CAN.
>> WE WILL JUST WAIT FOR SOME
(12:11):
WIND TO PICK UP OR A STORM
SYSTEM TO MOVE THROUGH OR
SOMETHING.
AND UNTIL THEN WE'LL MAKE SURE
WE STAY WEATHER AWARE AND KEEP
IN MIND ALL THE HEAT SAFETY TIPS
AND THAT WE TRY TO TAKE FREQUENT
BREAKS.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> OUT OF THE HEAT.
MICHAEL, FROM THE NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE THANK YOU FOR
BEING HERE.
>> THANKS FOR HAVING US.
(12:32):
THANK YOU.
>> Kelsey (12:35):
THANK YOU.
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU KNOW THE
SIGNS OF HEAT EXHAUSTION AND
HEAT STROKE IF YOU SPEND TIME
OUTDOORS.
EXHAUSTION IS YOUR BODY HEATS
BEFORE IT CAN COOL OFF.
AND IF IMPACTS FROM THE HEATED
CONTINUE A HEAT STROKE IS
POSSIBLE.
(12:56):
CONFUSION, DIZZINESS AND LOSING
CONSCIOUSNESS ARE SIGNS OF A
HEAT STROKE.
IF YOU SUSPECT SOMEONE IS
SUFFERING CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY
MOVE THE VICTIM TO A COOLER
LOCATION IF POSSIBLE.
>>> TONIGHT HERE ON KET ANOTHER
FORUM IN OUR NEXT CHAPTER SERIES
THIS FOCUSED ON THE AGING
POPULATION.

STAGES IN THE HOME WITH THE
RIGHT SUPPORTS.
SHE FOUND NETWORKS LINE LIKE

(16:51):
LAST FRIDAY GOVERNOR ANDY
BESHEAR HIS ADVISER ROCKY ADKINS
AND PEOPLE FROM APPALACHIAN
REGIONAL HEALTHCARE CUT THE
RIBBON TO OPEN A MOBILE HEALTH
CLINIC THAT WILL TRAVEL AROUND
EASTERN KENTUCKY.
BOTH BESHEAR AND ATKINS PRESSED
CONCERNS HOW HELPFUL THE CLINIC
WILL BE IF PROPOSED MEDICAID
CUTS BECOME A REALITY.
>> Gov. Andy Beshear (17:15):
THIS THING
CAME TO US IN A NOTION BACK IN
JULY, 2023 FLOODS.
WHEN WE WERE SEARCHING FOR HELP.
AND MARSHALL UNIVERSITY STEPPED
UP AND BROUGHT US THEIR MOBILE
HEALTH UNIT IN EASTERN KENTUCKY
(17:36):
AND WE REALIZED THE VALUE OF
THAT.
>> I WAS PROUD TO SERVE AS
CO-CHAIR OF THE APPALACHIAN
REGIONAL COMMISSION AND WE WERE
ABLE TO BRING A RECORD $47
MILLION INVESTMENT JUST FROM
THAT COMMISSION.
THIS WAS THE MOST EVER GIVEN TO
A SINGLE STATE WHICH I WAS GOING
TO MAKE SURE OF AS I WAS THE
CO-CHAIR.
(17:56):
THOSE FUNDS WENT TO 44 PROJECTS
THAT ARE HELPING A LOT OF
PEOPLE.
ONE OF THESE PROJECTS IS BEHIND
ME.
IT'S THIS MOBILE CLINIC.
>> WE CAN EXPAND OUR SERVICES
THROUGHOUT EASTERN KENTUCKY,
SOUTHERN WEST VIRGINIA AND
BEYOND THOSE BORDERS.
THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE STATE OF
THE COMMONWEALTH.
THE SERVICES WE'RE OFFERING
(18:18):
INCLUDE WELLNESS VISITS,
TRADITIONAL ACUTE CARE VISITS
AND SO FORTH.
WOMEN'S HEALTH SERVICES IS A
HUGE SERVICE THAT WE HOPE TO
EXPAND THROUGHOUT OUR REGION AS
WELL.
THIS IS A GREAT DAY.
IT GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO
EXPAND AND REACH THE MOST
VULNERABLE PATIENTS THEY CAN'T
COME TO US.
WE'RE TAKING HEALTHCARE TO THEM.
(18:40):
AT A VERY AFFORDABLE COST.
>> IF ANOTHER FLOOD OCCURRED OR
DISASTER HAPPENS WE CAN DEPLOY
THIS AND TAKE THIS OUT TO
PEOPLE.
>> WE HAVE TWO CLINIC ROOMS IN
HERE.
AND THEN A REGISTRATION AREA SO
WE REALLY ANYTHING THAT YOU
WOULD DO IN A CLINIC, CAN BE
DONE FOR THE MOST PART IN HERE.
WE CAN GIVE VACCINES.
(19:01):
WE CAN DRAW BASIC LABS SO IT'S
DIAGNOSE TO BE A BIG BENEFIT FOR
ALL OF OUR PATIENTS AND WE'RE
EXCITED.
>> WE ARE AT A CRITICAL
CROSSROADS WITH 700 BILLION
BEING CUT IN PREVIOUS AND
CURRENT POLICIES BILLS BEING
RECOMMENDED OUT OF DC.
(19:22):
AND WITH THAT IS 700 BILLION CUT
TO MEDICAID THE THREAT TO RURAL
HEALTHCARE IS A REAL ISSUE.
AND IT'S ONE THAT NEEDS TO BE
TALKED ABOUT SERIOUSLY
ESPECIALLY OVER THE NEXT FEW
WEEKS TO COME.
AND WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT
BECAUSE RURAL HEALTHCARE AND
(19:43):
HEALTHCARE FOR EASTERN KENTUCKY
IS CRITICAL FOR US TO BE ABLE TO
GROW THE CHE IN THE FUTURE.
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THE ISSUE OF
WHAT IS GETTING READY TO HAPPEN.
NOT ONLY LESS HEALTHCARE FOR
PEOPLE IN EASTERN KENTUCKY BUT
THE LOSS OF THOUSANDS OF JOBS
ACROSS OUR REGION.
THERE WAS
A STUDY THAT SUGGESTED 35 RURAL
(20:03):
HOSPITALS IN KENTUCKY MIGHT
CLOSE IF THESE CUTS GO FORWARD.
THOSE ARE 35 HOSPITALS THAT
PEOPLE GO TO TO GET THE SERVICES
THEY NEED HOSPITALS THAT HELP
PEOPLE IN A PANDEMIC WHERE WE
HAD THE BEDS.
35 HOSPITALS IF THEY ARE NOT
THERE PEOPLE HAVE TO DRIVE HOURS
JUST TO SEE THE DOCTORS THEY
(20:23):
USED TO SEE AND 35 HOSPITALS
THAT EMPLOY THOUSANDS OF
KENTUCKIANS AT RISK OF LOSING
THEIR JOBS.
WHEN WE LOOK AT HOW THIS IMPACTS
AMERICANS, FOLKS, IT'S ALMOST 17
MILLION AMERICANS THAT COULD
LOSE THEIR COVERAGE.
THAT'S ALMOST FOUR TIMES THE
POPULATION OF OUR STATE.
(20:44):
ON THREE, ONE, TWO, THREE...
>> Kelsey (20:48):
THE MOBILE CLINIC
WILL BE STATIONED IN FLOYD
COUNTY KENTUCKY AND IT WILL
TRAVEL INTO SOUTHERN WEST
VIRGINIA TO HELP THOSE WHO NEED
IT.
>> ACCORDING TO THE CHILD
FATALITY EXTERNAL REVIEW PANEL
ONE-THIRD OF ALL CHILD FAY
FAULTS OR NEAR FATALITIES WERE
RELATED TO INJENNINGS OF
(21:09):
SUBSTANCES.
TO HELP TO LAUNCH A MEDICATION
SAFETY CAMPAIGN EMPHASIZINGS
IMPORTANT OF SAFE MEDICATION
STORAGE.
>> UNFORTUNATELY FAR TOO MANY
CHILDREN IN KENTUCKY GO TO AN
EMERGENCY ROOM BECAUSE THEY GET
INTO SOMETHING THEY SHOULDN'T BE
INTO.
MEDICINE OR SUBSTANCE THAT IS
HARMFUL TO THEM.
(21:31):
AND WE KNOW IN KENTUCKY THAT
MOST OF THOSE INSTANCES WERE
PREVENTIBLE.
NATIONWIDE, WE KNOW THAT A CHILD
GOES TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM ONCE
EVERY FEW MINUTES AFTER
INGESTING A SUBSTANCE THAT THEY
SHOULD NOT AND THE VAST MAJORITY
OF THOSE INSTANCES ARE
PREVENTABLE.
WE KNOW IN KENTUCKY, THE NUMBER
OF CHILDREN WHO HAVE GOTTEN INTO
(21:53):
SUBSTANCES AND INGESTED THEM HAS
RISEN TRAMATICALLY OVER THE LAST
FEW YEARS.
AND IN EVERY CASE REVIEWED BY
THE KENTUCKY FATALITY AND NEAR
FATALITY REVIEW PANEL THE
CHILDREN WERE FOUR YEARS OF AGE
AND YOUNGER.
THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT AFFECTS
ALL KIDS BUT ESPECIALLY THOSE
FOUR AND UNDER.
(22:14):
WE HAVE TO DO BETTER WE HAVE TO
KEEP OUR KIDS SAFE IN A SIMPLE
WAY TO DO THAT IS BY MAKING SURE
MEDICATIONS ARE UP AND AWAY.
AND THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT, IS
TO MAKE SURE YOU LOCK IT UP.
LOCK BOXES ARE AVAILABLE AND
COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENTS
THROUGHOUT KENTUCKY.
AND THOSE LOCK BOXES CAN BE USED
(22:34):
TO SAFELY STORE MEDICINE.
WHETHER IT'S COMMON
OVER-THE-COUNTER MEDICINES OR
PRESCRIPTION MEDICINE OR ILLICIT
SUBSTANCES WE HAVE TO KNOW WHAT
IS IN THE HOUSE.
WE HAVE TO KNOW THAT CHILD
RESISTANT DOES NOT MEAN CHILD
PROOF.
WE NEED TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT WE
HAVE.
HOW MANY PILLS DID WE HAVE?
(22:57):
HOW MANY CERTAIN TYPE OF
MEDICINE DO WE HAVE?
WE TONIGHT'S WANT CHILDREN TO
GET INTO ANY OF THOSE THINGS.
BECAUSE CHILDREN JUST DON'T
KNOW.
THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND THE
DANGERS ASSOCIATED WITH
INGESTING SOMETHING THAT THEY
SHOULDN'T.
WE'VE GOT TO DO OUR PART TO KEEP
KIDS SAFE TO LOWER THESE RATES
OF INGESTIONS IN KENTUCKY AND
(23:17):
MAKE SURE THAT OUR CHILDREN ARE
KEPT OUT OF HARM'S WAY.

>> GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO
"KENTUCKY EDITION" FOR THIS
MONDAY JUNE 23, I'M KELSEY
STARKS IN OUR LOUISVILLE STUDIO
FILLING IN FOR REN.
A CONGRESSMAN FROM KENTUCKY IS
ONE OF THE MOST OUTSPOKEN
CRITICS OF THE U.S. BOMBING OF
IRAN AND PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP
IS ARGUING BACK.
(01:25):
SATURDAY THE U.S. BOMBED THREE
NUCLEAR SITES IN IRAN AFTER
ISRAEL STARTED BOMBING.
BOTH ISRAEL AND THE U.S. SAYS
ATTACKS SETBACK IRAN'S NUCLEAR
PROGRAM.
IRAN RESPONDED HITTING A U.S.
AIR BASE IN QATAR AFTER THOMAS
MASSIE JOINED CONGRESSMAN RO
KHANNA OF CALIFORNIA A DEMOCRAT,
(01:46):
TO INTRODUCE A BILL DECLARING AN
ATTACK ON IRAN WOULD REQUIRE
CONGRESSALITY APPROVAL.
MASSIE SAYS IT'S
UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
THEY APPEARED ON CBS' FACE THE
NATION YESTERDAY.
>> I KNOW THIS IS AN UNLIKELY
PAIRING YOU ARE AT DIFFERENT
(02:07):
ENDS OF THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM
BUT YOU BOTH WORKED ON THIS
RESOLUTION TO PROHIBITED U.S.
FORCES FROM ENGAGING IN
HOSTILITIES FROM IRAN AND NOT
GETTING AUTHORIZATION FROM
DEPRESS.
AND THE PRESIDENT BLEW PAST
THAT.
>> WE WERE TIRED OF ENDLESS WARS
IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND TIRED OF
(02:27):
WARS IN EASTERN EUROPE.
AND WE WERE PROMISED WE WOULD
PUT OUR VETERANS OUR IMMIGRATION
POLICIES, AND OUR INFRASTRUCTURE
FIRST.
AND SO WHAT RO AND I DID WE DID
THIS LAST WEEK WHEN THEY WERE
RATTLING THE SABRES WE PUT
FORWARD THIS WAR POWERS
(02:49):
RESOLUTION I'VE TEAMED UP WITH
RO KHANNA TO HIS CREDIT WHEN JOE
BIDEN WAS PRESIDENT WE TRIED TO
REIN IN THE EXECUTIVE FOR THE TO
DECLARE WAR AUTHORIZE THE
ENGAGEMENT OF ACTS OF WAR.
>> SOMETHING WE TALKED TO OTHER
LAWMAKERS IN THE SENATE AND
(03:10):
THERE'S EFFORTS TO SUPPORT YOU.
BUT THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE
FROM YOUR OWN PARTY HAS REJECTED
THIS.
HE SAYS THE ARTICLE ONE POWER OF
CONGRESS REALLY ALLOWS FOR THE
PRESIDENT TO DO THIS.
IT WAS A LIMITED NECESSARY
TARGETED STRIKE, HE SAYS.
>> WELL, HE'S PROBABLY REFERRING
TO THE WAR POWERS ACT OF 1973.
(03:31):
BUT THAT'S BEEN MISINTERPRETED.
THERE WERE NO IMMINENT THREAT TO
THE UNITED STATES WHICH IS WHAT
WOULD AUTHORIZE THAT AND THAT IS
PECULIAR TO HEAR THAT FROM THE
SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.
CONGRESS WAS ON VACATION LAST
WEEK WHEN THIS WAS HAPPENING.
WE HAVEN'T BEEN BRIEFED THEY
SHOULD HAVE CALLED US BACK AND
(03:51):
WE SHOULD HAVE DEBATED THIS WAR
POWERS RESOLUTION THAT RO KHANNA
AND I OFFERED INSTEAD OF STAYING
ON VACATION AND DOING
FUNDRAISERS AND SAYING WELL THE
PRESIDENT'S GOT THIS UNDER
CONTROL AND WE WILL CEDE OUR
CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY.
>> Laura (04:08):
TO QUOTE THE NEW YORK
POST PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS GONE
NUCLEAR AN CONGRESSMAN MASSIE
BECAUSE OF MACY'S REACTION TO
THE BOMBING.
THE PRESIDENT POSTED THIS SAYING
MASSIE IS WEAK AND NEGATIVE AND
VOTES NO ON VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING
PUT BEFORE HIM.
A RAND PAUL JUNIOR.
(04:28):
PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS MASSIE IS
NOT MAGA REFERRING TO THE SLOGAN
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
TRUMP IS VOWING TO SUPPORT A
REPUBLICAN OPPONENT TO OPPOSE
MASSIE IN 2026.
THE GOOD NEWS IS WE WILL HAVE A
WONDERFUL AMERICAN PATRIOT
RUNNING AGAINST HIM IN THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY AND I WILL BE
IN KENTUCKY CAMPAIGNING REALLY
(04:49):
HARD.
IT DOESN'T APPEAR ANYONE HAS
PUBLICLY DECLARED THEIR
INTENTION TO RUN AGAINST MASSIE
YET.
ANDY BARR OF THE SIXTH DISTRICT
BACKS THE ATTACK ON IRAN AND
DISAGREES WITH THOMAS MASSIE'S
INTERPRETATION OF THE
CONSTITUTION.
BARR POSTING QUOTE IT KRITD
PARTICULARS OF PRESIDENT TRUMP'S
(05:10):
BOLD ACTION TO DEFEND THE UNITED
STATES ARE DEAD WRONG.
THEY WANT TO WRITE ARTICLE 2 OUT
OF THE CONSTITUTION.
THE PRESIDENT ACTED FULLY WITHIN
HIS CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY END
QUOTE.
U.S. SENATOR MITCH McCONNELL
BACKS THE ATTACK ON IRAN.
HE SAID QUOTE I COMMEND THE
PRESIDENT FOR AUTHORIZE RIZ AING
(05:30):
DECISIVE ACTION AND ALL U.S.
SERVICE MEMBERS RESPONSIBLE FOR
CARRYING IT OUT.
THE UNITED STATES INTEREST IN
DENYING IRAN A NUCLEAR WEAPON
AND STANDING WITH OUR ALLY
ISRAEL AND REESTABLISHING
DETERRENT POWER IS UNDENY ABD
AND URGENT.
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS NOMINATING
CHAD MEREDITH TO SERVE AS A
(05:52):
FEDERAL JUDGE FROM EASTERN
KENTUCKY THAT REQUIRES U.S.
SENATE APPROVAL.
CHAD MEREDITH SERVED AS
KENTUCKY'S SOLICITOR GENERAL AND
A GUEST ON KET'S "KENTUCKY
TONIGHT" IN JUNE OF 2024.
DEMOCRATS CRITICIZED MEREDITH
FOR HIS STAND ON ABORTION AND HE
WAS INVOLVED IN LAST-MINUTE
(06:15):
PARDONS IN 2019 BUT HE HAS THE
BACKS OF MITCH McCONNELL AND
RAND PAUL AND PICKED UP SUPPORT
FROM THE KENTUCKY STATE SENATE'S
REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP PUTTING
OUT THIS STATEMENT SAYING QUOTE.
CHAD HAS A PRINCIPLED LEGAL MIND
AND HIS CAREER HAS BEEN DEFINED
BY PROFESSIONALISM, FAIRNESS AND
A DEEP RESPECT FOR THE
CONSTITUTION.
(06:35):
HE BRINGS A WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE
FROM THE COURTROOM TO APPELLATE
BENCH SHAPED BY THE DEVOTION TO
THE RULE OF LAW.
KENTUCKY'S SENATE MAJORITY FLOOR
LEADER IS.
SENATE BILL 188 REGULATES
PHARMACY BENEFIT MANAGERS OR
(06:56):
PBM'S THEY DECIDE WHICH
MEDICATIONS ARE COVERED BY
INSURANCE.
MAX WISE SPONSORED THE BILL AND
SAYS THE KENTUCKY DEPARTMENT OF
INSURANCE IS RELUCTANT TO
ENFORCE KEY PARTS OF THE
LEGISLATION AND NOW HE IS ASKING
RUSSELL COLEMAN TO ISSUE AN
OPINION HOW THE LAW SHOULD BE
CARRIED OUT SPECIFICALLY SENATOR
WISE KEKS CLARIFICATION WHERE
(07:17):
THE STATE DID FORCE PBM'S FROM
STEERING PATIENTS TO AFFILIATED
PHARMACIES AND IF PBM'S ARE
DOING BUSINESS BUT NOT IN THE
STATE.
IT PASSIONED BOTH THE SENATE AND
HOUSE AND ONE NO VOTE AND WAS
SIGNED INTO LAW BY "GOVERNOR'S
AWARD IN THE ARTS."
(07:39):
>>> WELL, A BRUTAL HEATWAVE IS
HITTING KENTUCKY THIS WEEK.
YOU'VE PROBABLY FELT WITH
TEMPERATURES ABOVE 100°.
CHRISTIE DUTTON FINDS OUT HOW
LONG IT WILL LAST AND WHAT YOU
CAN DO TO BEAT THE HEAT.
>> AFTER THE FIRST WEEKEND OF
SUMMER WE'RE ALREADY COMPLAINING
ABOUT THE HEAT.
(07:59):
MICHAEL IN LOUISVILLE IS HERE.
OKAY, MIKE, WE HAVE HEAT
ADVISORIES GOING ON.
WE HAVE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNINGS
OUTSIDE OF THE AREA.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
AND WHAT KIND OF HEAT ARE WE
LOOKING AT?
>> WE HAVE A BIG DOME OF HIGH
PRESSURE SUMMER ARRIVED IN A
HURRY AND IT'S ALL OVER THE
PLACE INTO KENTUCKY AND
(08:20):
TENNESSEE.
HIGHS IN THE 90s.
HEAT INDEXES OF 105 MAYBE MORE
THAN 105.
OPPRESSIVE HEAT FOR SEVERAL
DAYS.
>> YOU SAID SEVERAL DAYS.
ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HEAT INDEX
TEMPERATURES THAT WILL FEEL LIKE
THE TRIPLE DIGITS FOR THE REST
OF THE WEEK?
>> YEAH, YEAH, SO HEAT INDEX YOU
(08:40):
HAVE YOUR DAYTIME HIGH
TEMPERATURES AND WITH THE
HUMIDITY THAT IS THE REAL FEEL
WHAT IT FEELS LIKE.
AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES IN THE
ABOVE 100 TRIPLE DIGITS MAYBE
110 IN SOME SPOTS.
>> WHY DOES THE HUMIDITY MAKE IT
FEEL HOTTER?
>> BECAUSE YOU CANNOT EVAPORATE
THE SWEAT INFRASTRUCTURE SKIN
(09:01):
WITH THAT MUCH HUMIDITY IN THE
AIR YOUR BODY HAS A HARD TIME
COOLING DOWN AND WHERE WE CAN
SEE TROUBLE THIS WEAK.
>> POOLS ARE GREAT.
YOU DIVE IN AND GET WET AND THAT
EVAPORATION IS A COOLING PROCESS
BUT WITH THE HUMIDITY YOU CANNOT
EVAPORATE THE SWEAT.
YOU KEEP GETTING HOT HOTTER.
(09:23):
WITH HEAT ADVISORIES WHAT DO WE
NEED TO WATCH OUT FOR?
>> ALL OF KENTUCKY IS UNDER THIS
OPPRESSIVE HEAT AND HUMIDITY WE
WILL NOT SEE MUCH COOLING
OVERNIGHT.
THE TEMPERATURES WHEN YOU COULD
OPEN THE WINDOWS AT NIGHT THAT
IS NOT ON THE TABLE FOR THIS
WEEK.
ELDERLY ARE MUCH CONCERNED WE'RE
(09:45):
WATCHING THOSE FOLKS AND YOUNGER
FOLKS INFANTS AND THINGS THEY
DON'T HAVE THE I AM MUP SYSTEMS
WE HAVE TYPICALLY HEALTHY
ADULTINGS.
FOLKS WITH ILLNESSES THEY SHOULD
BE TAKING CARE.
>> AND THIS IS ALSO THE TIME OF
YEAR WHERE WE TALK ABOUT CARS,
THE HEAT HOW MUCH IT HEATS UP
(10:06):
INSIDE THE CAR AND REMINDING
PEOPLE ABOUT KIDS AND PET IT IN
CARS.
>> IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO LOOK
BEFORE YOU LOCK.
IT HAPPENS TO ANYONE.
IT HAPPENS TO DOCTORS, LAWYERS,
AND YOUR FORGET.
80% OF THE HEAT THAT HAPPENS IN
A CAR HAPPENS IN THE FIRST 30
MINUTES.
SO IT HAPPENS WITHIN A FLASH NOT
(10:28):
FOR A MINUTE SHOULD YOU LET YOUR
CHILD ALONE OR PETS.
LOOK BEFORE YOU LOCK.
>> WHEN IS ANY RELIEF HEADED OUR
WAY?
DO YOU SEE ANYTHING IN THE
FUTURE THAT MAY GIVE US A BREAK
FROM THIS HEAT?
>> MAYBE BY NEXT WEEKEND.
SUMMER'S HERE AND IT CAME IN A
HURRY.
I THINK IT WILL BE HERE TO STAY
FOR A LITTLE BIT AND WE HAVE TO
(10:49):
PRACTICE OUR HEAT SAFETY.
STAY AWAY FROM OUTDOORS IF YOU
CAN BETWEEN 10-6 IS WHEN THE SUN
IS AT THE HIGHEST ANGLE.
IF YOU CAN AVOID OUTDOORS IF YOU
WORK OUTSIDE TAKE FREQUENT
BREAKS, FIND SHADE AND DRINK
PLENTY OF WATER.
>> A LOT OF WATER THAT MOST OF
US THINK THAT IS SAFE.
(11:10):
AND SUNSCREEN CAN KEEP YOUR SKIN
COOLER THAT BLOCK FROM THE SUN.
>> IT CAN.
I WILL SAY OUT IN THE SUNLIGHT
IT FEELS HOT SUNSCREEN OR NOT.
MAYBE YOUR COOLING PLACES,
COOLING CENTERS IN YOU ARE
OUTSIDE AND DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO
THAT CALL LOCAL EMERGENCY
MANAGEMENT AND THEY CAN TELL YOU
(11:30):
THE BUILDINGS YOU CAN GO AND
COOL OFF.
>> ANOTHER THINGS WITH ALL THE
HEAT, IS THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY
WIND AND WITHOUT THE WIND OR A
STORM TO CIRCULATE THE AIR, WE
START SEEING THE AIR QUALITY AND
POLLUTION START TO GET BAD, TOO.
AND SO HOW IS THAT GOING TO
FACTOR IN?
>> CERTAINLY WHEN YOU HAVE THE
(11:51):
VEHICLES RIDING AROUND AFTERNOON
ESPECIALLY WITH THE HEAT AND THE
STAGNANT AIR.
IF YOU ARE OUTSIDE EXERCISING
THAT IS WHO IT AFFECTS A LOT.
EXERCISE IN THE MORNING OR THE
LATER EVENING HOURS.
IF YOU ARE SUPER SENSITIVE TO
GAS SMELLS OR OTHER THINGS, TRY
TO STAY INSIDE AS MUCH AS YOU
CAN.
>> WE WILL JUST WAIT FOR SOME
(12:11):
WIND TO PICK UP OR A STORM
SYSTEM TO MOVE THROUGH OR
SOMETHING.
AND UNTIL THEN WE'LL MAKE SURE
WE STAY WEATHER AWARE AND KEEP
IN MIND ALL THE HEAT SAFETY TIPS
AND THAT WE TRY TO TAKE FREQUENT
BREAKS.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> OUT OF THE HEAT.
MICHAEL, FROM THE NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE THANK YOU FOR
BEING HERE.
>> THANKS FOR HAVING US.
(12:32):
THANK YOU.
>> Kelsey (12:35):
THANK YOU.
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU KNOW THE
SIGNS OF HEAT EXHAUSTION AND
HEAT STROKE IF YOU SPEND TIME
OUTDOORS.
EXHAUSTION IS YOUR BODY HEATS
BEFORE IT CAN COOL OFF.
AND IF IMPACTS FROM THE HEATED
CONTINUE A HEAT STROKE IS
POSSIBLE.
(12:56):
CONFUSION, DIZZINESS AND LOSING
CONSCIOUSNESS ARE SIGNS OF A
HEAT STROKE.
IF YOU SUSPECT SOMEONE IS
SUFFERING CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY
MOVE THE VICTIM TO A COOLER
LOCATION IF POSSIBLE.
>>> TONIGHT HERE ON KET ANOTHER
FORUM IN OUR NEXT CHAPTER SERIES
THIS FOCUSED ON THE AGING
POPULATION.
THIS ALL FOR CAREGIVERS AND THE
(13:18):
RESOURCES AND SUPPORT THAT THEY
MAY NEED.
LAURA ROGERS SPOKE WITH A FAMILY
CAREGIVER IN BOWLING GREEN WHO
IS SHARING HER PERSONAL
EXPERIENCE.
>> TECHNICALLY I WAS A CAREGIVER

>> SHE LENDED THAT CARE TO HER
MOTHER A FORMER EDUCATEDDER AND
ACTIVIST.
>> HUSBAND AND I MOVED FROM THE

>> IT WITH LEAD TO AROUND THE
CLOCK CARE UNTIL HER MOTHER'S

TRANSITION BETWEEN MY MOM HAVING
VERY LIMITED MOBILITY TO
BECOMING COMPLETELY BED BOUND.
>> SHE ACKNOWLEDGES CAREGIVING

IT IS ALSO REWARDING.
>> BEING A CAREGIVER IS A
TREMENDOUS GIFT.
>> A GIFT THAT IS
INTERGENERATIONAL IN HER FAMILY.
>> MY MOM WAS A CAREGIVER SHE
(14:24):
WAS A CAREGIVER FOR MY
GRANDMOTHER UNTIL SHE PASSED
AWAY.
>> SHE IS OF THE MILLENNIAL
GENERATION AND ONE IN FOUR ARE

>> WE ARE GOING TO BE THE
FASTEST GROWING POPULATION OF
CAREGIVERS AS OUR PARENTS AGE
AND WE'RE DEALING WITH THINGS
LIKE STUDENT LOANS, AND
FINANCIAL PLANNING FOR OUR OWN
(14:45):
FUTURE.
A LOT OF US DON'T HAVE THE
RETIREMENT PENSIONS THAT OUR
PARENTS HAD.
>> SHE HOLDS A LAW DEGREE FROM
GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY TOOK
ON-LINE NURSE AIDE COURSES TO
BECOME BETTER EQUIPPED.
>> I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT IT
IS POSSIBLE.
IT CAN BE POSSIBLE TO CARE FOR
YOUR LOVED ONE IF THAT IS WHAT
(15:06):
YOU DECIDE AND IF THAT IS WHAT
YOUR LOVED ONE DECIDES AT ALL
STAGES IN THE HOME WITH THE
RIGHT SUPPORTS.
SHE FOUND NETWORKS LINE LIKE
EMPOWERING APPALACHIA COHORT
THAT OFFERS PEER SUPPORT AND
ADVOCACY TRAINING.
>> IT FOCUSES ON THE NEEDS OF
CAREGIVERS AND WAYS TO SUPPORT
CAREGIVERS IN OUR APPALACHIAN
(15:27):
REGION.
>> AND SOUGHT OUT DOCTORS WHO
OFFERED TELEMEDICINE AND HOUSE

BEFORE THEY ARE IMMINENT.
>> IT'S NEVER TOO EARLY TO HAVE
A CONVERSATION WITH YOUR PARENT
ABOUT WHAT THEIR WISHES FOR
LONG-TERM CARE WOULD BE.
>> SHE WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN
REMOTE WORK BUT SAYS EMPLOYMENT
AND FINANCIAL STRAIN CAN ALSO BE
(15:47):
AN ISSUE FOR CAREGIVERS.

(16:51):
LAST FRIDAY GOVERNOR ANDY
BESHEAR HIS ADVISER ROCKY ADKINS
AND PEOPLE FROM APPALACHIAN
REGIONAL HEALTHCARE CUT THE
RIBBON TO OPEN A MOBILE HEALTH
CLINIC THAT WILL TRAVEL AROUND
EASTERN KENTUCKY.
BOTH BESHEAR AND ATKINS PRESSED
CONCERNS HOW HELPFUL THE CLINIC
WILL BE IF PROPOSED MEDICAID
CUTS BECOME A REALITY.
>> Gov. Andy Beshear (17:15):
THIS THING
CAME TO US IN A NOTION BACK IN
JULY, 2023 FLOODS.
WHEN WE WERE SEARCHING FOR HELP.
AND MARSHALL UNIVERSITY STEPPED
UP AND BROUGHT US THEIR MOBILE
HEALTH UNIT IN EASTERN KENTUCKY
(17:36):
AND WE REALIZED THE VALUE OF
THAT.
>> I WAS PROUD TO SERVE AS
CO-CHAIR OF THE APPALACHIAN
REGIONAL COMMISSION AND WE WERE
ABLE TO BRING A RECORD $47
MILLION INVESTMENT JUST FROM
THAT COMMISSION.
THIS WAS THE MOST EVER GIVEN TO
A SINGLE STATE WHICH I WAS GOING
TO MAKE SURE OF AS I WAS THE
CO-CHAIR.
(17:56):
THOSE FUNDS WENT TO 44 PROJECTS
THAT ARE HELPING A LOT OF
PEOPLE.
ONE OF THESE PROJECTS IS BEHIND
ME.
IT'S THIS MOBILE CLINIC.
>> WE CAN EXPAND OUR SERVICES
THROUGHOUT EASTERN KENTUCKY,
SOUTHERN WEST VIRGINIA AND
BEYOND THOSE BORDERS.
THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE STATE OF
THE COMMONWEALTH.
THE SERVICES WE'RE OFFERING
(18:18):
INCLUDE WELLNESS VISITS,
TRADITIONAL ACUTE CARE VISITS
AND SO FORTH.
WOMEN'S HEALTH SERVICES IS A
HUGE SERVICE THAT WE HOPE TO
EXPAND THROUGHOUT OUR REGION AS
WELL.
THIS IS A GREAT DAY.
IT GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO
EXPAND AND REACH THE MOST
VULNERABLE PATIENTS THEY CAN'T
COME TO US.
WE'RE TAKING HEALTHCARE TO THEM.
(18:40):
AT A VERY AFFORDABLE COST.
>> IF ANOTHER FLOOD OCCURRED OR
DISASTER HAPPENS WE CAN DEPLOY
THIS AND TAKE THIS OUT TO
PEOPLE.
>> WE HAVE TWO CLINIC ROOMS IN
HERE.
AND THEN A REGISTRATION AREA SO
WE REALLY ANYTHING THAT YOU
WOULD DO IN A CLINIC, CAN BE
DONE FOR THE MOST PART IN HERE.
WE CAN GIVE VACCINES.
(19:01):
WE CAN DRAW BASIC LABS SO IT'S
DIAGNOSE TO BE A BIG BENEFIT FOR
ALL OF OUR PATIENTS AND WE'RE
EXCITED.
>> WE ARE AT A CRITICAL
CROSSROADS WITH 700 BILLION
BEING CUT IN PREVIOUS AND
CURRENT POLICIES BILLS BEING
RECOMMENDED OUT OF DC.
(19:22):
AND WITH THAT IS 700 BILLION CUT
TO MEDICAID THE THREAT TO RURAL
HEALTHCARE IS A REAL ISSUE.
AND IT'S ONE THAT NEEDS TO BE
TALKED ABOUT SERIOUSLY
ESPECIALLY OVER THE NEXT FEW
WEEKS TO COME.
AND WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT
BECAUSE RURAL HEALTHCARE AND
(19:43):
HEALTHCARE FOR EASTERN KENTUCKY
IS CRITICAL FOR US TO BE ABLE TO
GROW THE CHE IN THE FUTURE.
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THE ISSUE OF
WHAT IS GETTING READY TO HAPPEN.
NOT ONLY LESS HEALTHCARE FOR
PEOPLE IN EASTERN KENTUCKY BUT
THE LOSS OF THOUSANDS OF JOBS
ACROSS OUR REGION.
THERE WAS
A STUDY THAT SUGGESTED 35 RURAL
(20:03):
HOSPITALS IN KENTUCKY MIGHT
CLOSE IF THESE CUTS GO FORWARD.
THOSE ARE 35 HOSPITALS THAT
PEOPLE GO TO TO GET THE SERVICES
THEY NEED HOSPITALS THAT HELP
PEOPLE IN A PANDEMIC WHERE WE
HAD THE BEDS.
35 HOSPITALS IF THEY ARE NOT
THERE PEOPLE HAVE TO DRIVE HOURS
JUST TO SEE THE DOCTORS THEY
(20:23):
USED TO SEE AND 35 HOSPITALS
THAT EMPLOY THOUSANDS OF
KENTUCKIANS AT RISK OF LOSING
THEIR JOBS.
WHEN WE LOOK AT HOW THIS IMPACTS
AMERICANS, FOLKS, IT'S ALMOST 17
MILLION AMERICANS THAT COULD
LOSE THEIR COVERAGE.
THAT'S ALMOST FOUR TIMES THE
POPULATION OF OUR STATE.
(20:44):
ON THREE, ONE, TWO, THREE...
>> Kelsey (20:48):
THE MOBILE CLINIC
WILL BE STATIONED IN FLOYD
COUNTY KENTUCKY AND IT WILL
TRAVEL INTO SOUTHERN WEST
VIRGINIA TO HELP THOSE WHO NEED
IT.
>> ACCORDING TO THE CHILD
FATALITY EXTERNAL REVIEW PANEL
ONE-THIRD OF ALL CHILD FAY
FAULTS OR NEAR FATALITIES WERE
RELATED TO INJENNINGS OF
(21:09):
SUBSTANCES.
TO HELP TO LAUNCH A MEDICATION
SAFETY CAMPAIGN EMPHASIZINGS
IMPORTANT OF SAFE MEDICATION
STORAGE.
>> UNFORTUNATELY FAR TOO MANY
CHILDREN IN KENTUCKY GO TO AN
EMERGENCY ROOM BECAUSE THEY GET
INTO SOMETHING THEY SHOULDN'T BE
INTO.
MEDICINE OR SUBSTANCE THAT IS
HARMFUL TO THEM.
(21:31):
AND WE KNOW IN KENTUCKY THAT
MOST OF THOSE INSTANCES WERE
PREVENTIBLE.
NATIONWIDE, WE KNOW THAT A CHILD
GOES TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM ONCE
EVERY FEW MINUTES AFTER
INGESTING A SUBSTANCE THAT THEY
SHOULD NOT AND THE VAST MAJORITY
OF THOSE INSTANCES ARE
PREVENTABLE.
WE KNOW IN KENTUCKY, THE NUMBER
OF CHILDREN WHO HAVE GOTTEN INTO
(21:53):
SUBSTANCES AND INGESTED THEM HAS
RISEN TRAMATICALLY OVER THE LAST
FEW YEARS.
AND IN EVERY CASE REVIEWED BY
THE KENTUCKY FATALITY AND NEAR
FATALITY REVIEW PANEL THE
CHILDREN WERE FOUR YEARS OF AGE
AND YOUNGER.
THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT AFFECTS
ALL KIDS BUT ESPECIALLY THOSE
FOUR AND UNDER.
(22:14):
WE HAVE TO DO BETTER WE HAVE TO
KEEP OUR KIDS SAFE IN A SIMPLE
WAY TO DO THAT IS BY MAKING SURE
MEDICATIONS ARE UP AND AWAY.
AND THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT, IS
TO MAKE SURE YOU LOCK IT UP.
LOCK BOXES ARE AVAILABLE AND
COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENTS
THROUGHOUT KENTUCKY.
AND THOSE LOCK BOXES CAN BE USED
(22:34):
TO SAFELY STORE MEDICINE.
WHETHER IT'S COMMON
OVER-THE-COUNTER MEDICINES OR
PRESCRIPTION MEDICINE OR ILLICIT
SUBSTANCES WE HAVE TO KNOW WHAT
IS IN THE HOUSE.
WE HAVE TO KNOW THAT CHILD
RESISTANT DOES NOT MEAN CHILD
PROOF.
WE NEED TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT WE
HAVE.
HOW MANY PILLS DID WE HAVE?
(22:57):
HOW MANY CERTAIN TYPE OF
MEDICINE DO WE HAVE?
WE TONIGHT'S WANT CHILDREN TO
GET INTO ANY OF THOSE THINGS.
BECAUSE CHILDREN JUST DON'T
KNOW.
THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND THE
DANGERS ASSOCIATED WITH
INGESTING SOMETHING THAT THEY
SHOULDN'T.
WE'VE GOT TO DO OUR PART TO KEEP
KIDS SAFE TO LOWER THESE RATES
OF INGESTIONS IN KENTUCKY AND
(23:17):
MAKE SURE THAT OUR CHILDREN ARE
KEPT OUT OF HARM'S WAY.
