♪ ♪ >> Good evening and welcome to Kentucky.

Addition for Monday, November 14th.

We thank you for joining us.

I'm your host Kelsey Starks in for Renee Shaw, a school bus crash in Magoffin County sent 18 children and the driver to hospitals this morning.

>> The school district says the bus ended up over an embankment on route 40 near Sawyer's Ville.

State.

Police say no other vehicles were involved.

We have some pictures here from the scene taken by the Sawyers Bill Independent newspaper.

Some of the children on the bus were taken to hospitals by ambulance.

Others went by helicopter.

The superintendent says injuries range from minor to critical, but he adds no one has died.

It's not clear what caused the crash.

The crash forced the road to close for several hours.

It appears U.S.

Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky will not become Senate majority leader over the weekend.

The Associated Press declared Democratic U.S. Senate victories in Arizona and Nevada.

That means the Democrats will have at least 50 seats in the new Congress that convenes in January.

And that's before the runoff.

That will determine a winner in Georgia with 50 seats and Vice President Kamala Harris's tie breaking vote.

Democrats will control the chamber.

So Senator McConnell will remain in the minority.

He says he has the votes to remain Republican leader, but some Republican senators are pushing to postpone the leadership election until after the Georgia runoff on December 6.

While Democrats did well nationally, the Republican Party added to its super majorities in the Kentucky House and Senate Governor Beshear was asked about that last week.

He said his job is to work with the Kentucky General Assembly regardless of its membership.

He also said he was pleased by some developments Tuesday, including the defeat of 2 constitutional amendments and some candidates for judgeships.

>> But if you look but I think is a statement from Tuesday night.

It was a rejection.

The General Assembly's attempted power grab in both the executive and the legislative branch and maybe in people's private lives as well.

A look at this General Assembly put a constitutional amendment on the ballot trying to take away authority from the governor and being able to call themselves and special session.

When they could immediately suspend the love 12 days.

An ad even more people said now.

The governor has certain jobs and you have certain jobs, both do your jobs and we expect you to get along.

>> Kentucky has another candidate for governor and this one is not a Republican.

Jeff Young says he will run for governor in 2023.

In a tweet Young said, quote, My first opponent in the primary will be the incumbent.

Not yet indicted felon.

Governor Andy Beshear, possibly the most corrupt, incompetent Kentucky governor in the last 100 years, unquote young just ran 4 but lost a race for Congress in the 6th district falling to incumbent Republican Andy Barr.

On Thursday, we heard from Senate Majority Floor Leader Damon Thayer about the Kentucky GOP is big games on election night.

Renee Shaw asked the state senator is redistricting was a factor.

More in tonight's inside Kentucky politics.

>> I do want to bring up something that I heard a lot from folks who are.

>> On the other side of the aisle, he said that the reason why Republicans were then able to make so many games because of redistricting, gerrymandering.

So to that criticism that the field isn't drawn fair and it's drawn to exclude a particular party and to expand your own power.

What would you sign?

>> Well, first, I think that's a lot of whining by Democrats.

You know, they got to draw these districts for a couple 100 years.

And, you know, we've been able to draw the Senate map 3 times now.

And our map was It wasn't even challenged in the courts.

I can tell you that this smallest Democrat, minority in history.

Had the largest role and input into drawing the map than any Republican minority was ever given by Senate Democratic leadership over the last century before we gained control.

And it just is it's just whining and wailing and gnashing of teeth because they're losing and they're losing badly.

>> There was a particular district Senate district, our House district excuse me, 88 Cherilyn Stevenson's as the Democratic incumbent against Republican up and Comer.

New cumber Jim Coleman.

And this was a tight race and only a few votes separated them.

Tell us about this race.

>> Well, I'm very proud of my Republican colleagues in the House.

They won 6 seats previously held by Democrats and they knocked off 5 Democratic comments and it looks like they're going to go to 80 Republicans as of right now, it appears that Jim Coleman has not won and not defeated.

Representative Sheryl and Stevenson, it looks that Representative Stevenson was reelected with 35 votes.

35 vote majority.

it's the biggest disappointment of the night for me.

I'm very close with Jim Coleman is one of the best ever been around very hard working.

And as I saw the numbers come in, it looked to me like he underperformed in his Scott County precincts.

Of course, I I live in Georgetown.

I'm very familiar with those precincts.

And the only reason I can come up with why he underperformed.

There is Representative Steve Sund sent out and absolutely vicious piece of direct mail late in the campaign.

That I think she should be embarrassed about.

Maybe she got the win, but I don't think it was a very fair Jim Coleman, Jim Coleman went to Howard University in Washington, D.C., and one of his classmates was Vice President Kamala Harris.

Apparently Vice President Harris helped Jim Coleman win a race for student body president at Howard.

And I'm told that once you're a Howard along, it's a very close network.

And apparently Jim might have written a check somewhere along the way to one of Vice President Harris's campaigns.

For $100 or something like that.

And why like I do think.

Who you give campaign contributions to is a legitimate.

Topic in a race.

I thought this particular direct mail piece was especially vicious and it might have been enough just to depress the Republican vote just enough.

That Jim came out on the wrong side of 35 votes.

That's very close.

18 people vote the other way.

And we're talking about Representative elect Jim Coleman.

It's very and I'm going to encourage Jim Coleman to consider running again in 2 years.

>> Jenkins by Skype on Thursday.

Jenkins who is retiring, says she will not be involved in choosing the Democratic leadership.

>> Well, we're going into a non, but here, so does our universe and their neighbors also the opportunity to get their feet underneath that the forecasting the state budget so it's it's a Stuart session.

I'm usually the agendas are not as big as they are in the full session.

So I hopefully that both sides understand that we need to work together regardless of where we come from and the state, regardless of what our party affiliation is, that we should have the same goals for our stay yeah.

I often say that when I first came to Frankfort, House and the majority there Democrats or Republicans have very similar goals for the Commonwealth.

We just had different ideas of how to get there.

And it seems like today, perhaps maybe we don't have the same goal.

So I hope everyone, Democrats, Republicans, whether they're for or been areas can find some common ground and some common goals and work toward those.

>> So final question to you later, Jenkins was maybe the last time I say that we know and all caucuses will get together determine their leadership.

Do you have someone in mind and would you be at liberty to even share who should as House Minority Leader and Representative Angie Hatton as whip?

>> our caucus well get together and December and they will make those selections and I know that we have a very, very talented group of folks.

>> And I think they will make great elections.

And I look forward to seeing it is in all men in leadership team.

But I there there there's a wealth of experience there for them to choose from.

But you have a vote or say so in that.

>> A new path over I will not be part of the caucus moving >> it is not going to be I would have a boat and a saying that though, it I'll be as anxious as but Democrats all across the state are going to be just a who done it for later.

2 sets up to be part of this leadership team.

>> Well later, Jenkins, thank you for your service for more than 25 years.

And the Kentucky General Assembly and we thank you for always being available to be on K E T S I hope that doesn't end.

But thank you, madam, for your service to this state and your time today.

Thank you so much for providing.

>> That's right.

Insight into the General Assembly all these years.

Thank you.

>> Louisville's newly elected mayor isn't wasting any time getting to work on Friday.

Mayor elect to Craig Greenberg launched a new website called New Direction Louisville to hire staff and get feedback from residents.

I sat down with him to talk about how he plans to use that feedback in his new administration.

>> I think if the a key part of the ship is listening.

And so when I was running for mayor and I literally ran for mayor by running through all 623 precincts.

I heard these concerns and yes, there are folks that live in eastern and southeastern the southern and southwestern parts of our city that feel like the city is not serving them.

So I want to work with community leaders, neighborhood leaders in those areas about what we can do to better serve them through city government.

To me the solution is improved.

Government is in collaboration and that's what I'm excited about doing in all parts of our city.

>> And you're actually going to reach out to folks at NASA were suggestions.

>> Yeah, I will be making some announcements about our transition upcoming here very shortly.

And a key part of it is going to be continued to to listen is to hear ideas about what the challenges are, but also what the opportunities are.

I'm a firm believer that we don't need any more studies.

You and I everyone in Louisville, we know what the challenges are and we all have ideas.

So let's find the best ideas and take action to implement them.

My wife says I'm impatient.

I call it a sense of urgency.

I want to get things done starting on day one.

So that's what my administration will be about working with the entire community.

>> You know, you are promising a lot.

And I read through all those day, one priorities on on your Louisville Department of Education for the very first time creating affordable housing addressing homelessness and Universal Pre K how are you going to prioritize all of these?

What sound like grand ideas?

>> They are and they might sound like lofty goals to some.

But to me, that's our only option at this point in time as we have to do big, meaningful change here in Louisville and and really make some big step takes a big step forward.

We'll have a great team of people, people who are empowered, people who are diverse from all different experiences, all different walks of life across our city who share my sense of urgency.

And then we're all going hold ourselves accountable.

All hope folks accountable in my administration.

Just as I expect everyone in Louisville to hold me accountable as the next mayor of Louisville.

And so if we make mistakes along the way, we'll be honest about what went wrong, why it didn't work.

What we've learned from those experiences and how we're going to do things differently to accomplish our goals.

But I think we can do many things.

We have to do many things at once.

>> And not being a career politician or being in government at all.

I'm curious what this week, what has this been like?

Is it crazy?

Is it what you thought it would be or how is it different?

>> Well, I was so focused on getting to election that right was about now.

Here we are on.

But by the likes of the it's it's been wonderful.

The outpouring of support from across the entire community has been wonderful.

I've been reaching out to people.

Other people been reaching out to me about talking about now where we go from here.

We we had Tuesday night to celebrate.

But Wednesday morning I was up at 5 o'clock and get right at it because I truly think.

People in Louisville are looking for a sense of urgency to get things done.

And so we're working on a transition right now.

We'll be having some announcements, as I mentioned about soliciting feedback, Singh who wants to work in our administration, but and then also will be announcing a transition team that's going to help put the pieces in place.

So that starting on January second Inauguration Day, that will be a work day for me as your next mayor.

you know, looking when is say the end of your time, 4 years from now, what do you hope?

Louisville looks like in 4 years.

>> Great question.

I hope Lou was a safer city.

I hope it's a cleaner city.

I hope it's a healthy your city that is better to the environment and use people regardless of where they live.

And regardless of what circumstances of life or what race they are are healthier than they work.

I hope it still has the wonderful authenticity that Louisville has are great history and historic buildings but more vibrant with more good paying career path jobs.

He better public transportation system, more neighborhoods that are walkable and bikeable that people live in that people can walk to where they shop or where they walk.

These are all parts of my vision for Louisville that I've Cher and heard shared with me throughout the course of my entire campaign.

>> Craig Greenberg will be sworn in as Louisville's 51st mayor on January.

2nd.

>> Google has settled a lawsuit with 40 states including Kentucky after the state's accused Google of misleading consumers about its location tracking practices.

The settlement is for 391 million dollars.

Kentucky's share is 7.2 million as part of the settlement.

Google has to be clearer about its location tracking settings and it has to make that information clearly visible.

Kentucky still has 3 counties in the high category for COVID levels just like last week.

But 2 of the counties have changed last week.

It was Harrison Robertson and Letcher counties.

This week.

It's Pike not and Letcher.

As you can see from the map.

The rest of the state is either yellow for medium or green for low the number of counties at the medium level has also increased from last week.

Berea College is getting its first woman president on Saturday.

The school's board of trustees picked Cheryl Nixon to take over July first 2023.

The current president while role offs is retiring.

Nixon is the current provost and vice president for academic affairs at Fort Lewis College in Colorado.

Berea College is a private liberal arts college that guarantee students will not have to pay.

Tuition.

Enrollment is around 1400 students.

♪ November is national family Caregivers Month.

According to the AARP, more than 53 million adults in the U.S. provide unpaid care to elderly or ill loved ones.

It was a role.

Charles Williams found himself in performing household chores, running errands and eventually making medical and financial decisions for his elderly, aunt and uncle.

He said it was a stressful, but fulfilling experience.

>> Caregiving can be rewarding yet.

>> Taxing experience.

They're just and myriad of reasons as to why that person would become a caregiver in 1995, my uncle and aunt calling into their living room.

They did not have children at this time.

They were in their late 70's early 80's in the Malvo, who was a candidate for city, says we do.

These is a one-day book, but to we don't ever want to take you as we would like to know because we discussed is if you would take help take years.

I said sure.

There are 5 steps.

The AARP has identified.

And what we call.

Helping one become a caregiver.

They are to start the conversation about the issues that have sir, you for me, T family, friends and members of whatever the case may be around the person's going to get the required kid.

You make a plan with the teen who signed responsibilities and tasks you find support that we have resources, etcetera, etcetera, but the biggest thing is hear for yourself.

If we're not caring for a selves, we can't help anyone else.

So that probably is the biggest of all over one of the primary things a caregiver faces is loss of personal time to take care of personal business.

They they may lose the time on jobs.

They may find themselves worrying about whenever the telephone rings.

Is this the call where I need to react?

They're doing grocery shopping and they're providing medical care in many cases, they had their doing everything that we think for a moment that the time it takes for us to take cell.

In a 24 hour period, Russian that he's eating the burger cooking all those things now multiply that with the with the need to help someone else take care of those identical things in order to have a comfortable life.

So this is a tremendous sacrifice you're giving.

It is.

And experience, but I would not wish on anybody.

But it is a journey and there are a host of awards that I would change for nothing in the world.

It was one of the most rewarding experiences continues to be one of the most rewarding experiences.

They provided.

That connection.

The generational connection.

A cultural connection.

And just the family friend.

Relationship.

That on a day-to-day basis that I I realize there is no longer there.

So it it's it was impactful to say the least and continues to be and will be probably for the rest of my life.

>> The AARP says the need for family caregivers is expected to increase over the next few years because of an aging baby boomer population.

>> That will require more care.

♪ >> The Lexington, Living Arts and Science Center is partnering with that.

I am not invisible campaign to put the spotlight on female veterans and their service that I am not invisible.

Exhibit features not only photos of female veterans, but also their artwork.

>> When people think of veterans, women are not the first thing that come to mind.

I'm not invisible campaign.

It's actually bringing awareness to how many women actually are veterans.

The veteran center in Oregon created this campaign to photographs, women and put faces to names basically.

>> The other thing that's featured as work from female veterans as well.

Really awesome to have these 2 different mediums of photographs and artwork because it just humanizes who these people really are and honors all aspects of who they are.

And so what we have on display are multiple states as well as our own Kentucky women.

It was absolute honor just to be asked to be in this campaign.

The words on the picture itself like I am not invisible.

It's just.

>> It means a lot actually wore a T-shirt.

That said I'm a veteran and the veteran spouse and I told them I said honestly, this was one of the first time meet.

As of this is one of the first times ever.

I actually felt comfortable wearing the T-shirt in public.

Because for such a long time and never actually view myself as a veteran, I joined the Air Force in 2001 right after 9.11.

I did 4 years.

I work in a civil engineering unit and I was stationed at Nellis Air Force Base.

I am married to a Marine who actually was in battle.

And so my experiences in the service are a whole lot different from his.

When you think of the military, you think of battle, you think of certain things.

And so because I didn't do those things, it's it's almost like I.

Didn't value my service time as equal as his.

>> If you speak to any male veteran, that's one of the first things they tell you.

If you speak to female veteran that is on the very long was the very bottom of the things that they've done.

And I think that, you know, we as women, we often take the background of what we do.

Not only in our careers, but, you know, in in life, in general.

And it's time for women to say no, like I served my country and it's time for them to be in the forefront and in the limelight being able to have these images on our walls just humanizes.

I think the whole >> aspect of what these women have done.

>> I am not and does will campaign.

It makes me feel like I belong.

It does.

It makes me feel like I can see these other women and I belong to this group.

That's not invisible.

I hope more than anything that there are a little girls that come into this building that can look up at these pictures and know that that they, too can be a part of the military and that they, too, are not invisible.

And the things that they poor aunt and seen because we aren't visible.
