beshear: i will start with unemployment. we continue to work day in and they out and will not be satisfied until everybody gets her benefit-- gets their benefit . we have a challenge here, we received such differing guidance from the department of labor over time, that i believe their oig has launched an investigation into that guidance given. it's been in the beginning, it was get it out really fast. then it was, you need to spend time to make sure there was zero fraud. and so, we've had this push and pull that's made it really difficult. it's compounded by a system created in 2000. that we are going to have to, with the new cares act, go in and reprogram, because they changed once again who qualifies for this extra $300. crisis,eginning of this 90 less people in unemployment because of cuts made in a previous budget. offices withonal the other challenges, the whole system is set up to create problems. so we do not just spend every day on new claims that have been notd and claims we have gotten to, we have people who have b

beshear: we are looking at that now. right now, the priority group is limited to k-12, but there is no question, again, that child care workers are critical, and they have exposure, too. we want our universities to be safe. we need more people graduating with two-year and four-year certificates. this is the challenge, especially when we get a concept of essential worker or even concept of priority. we are all important to this world. we are all special to those around us, and there are hundreds of arguments we could make about so many professions, so, again, we are going to work to try to get this out as quickly as we can to the entire population. my hope is that we reach a point, just like testing, where we said, we need you to wait. we need to prioritize this group, and suddenly, we are where everybody wants one, come get one, and i hope we get there. no easy answers, but that is what we face in moving forward. >> governor, i know we are still a few weeks out, but once they begin vaccinating educators and those who wor

in 25 years, beshear hasn't defended himself publicly.to our requests for comment either. in another statement, the bbc said that he is signed off work by his doctors recovering from heart surgery and complications from covid-19. for 25 years, there have been calls from within the palace and also within the bbc for a full independent investigation into how he secured the biggest media interview in modern british history. where was the oversight? was it ethical for the bbc to investigate itself? was there a coverup? >> on the human level, there's a perfectly valid interest on the extent to which perhaps the methods used to get the interview might have added to the princess's concerns that she was being followed or perhaps being monitored or had a phone been listened to or whatever it may be, which could have increased her anxieties. >> reporter: if it's find that diana and her brother were convinced by the bbc to think they were being spied on, it raises the profound question of whether her path would have been different in the final month

now, justice brett kavanaugh is asking kentucky's governor, democrat andy beshear, to respond to the 4:00 tomorrow afternoon. so far, the governor's attorneys insist that executive order does not infringe on religious freedom. >> the governor is determined to take the right steps to solve our increasing surge of covid-19. we now have 117 counties in the red zone. >> martha: here now, kentucky republican attorney general daniel cameron. general cameron, thank you for being here. explain to everyone with the legal argument is here, why these christian schools are treated differently than other private organizations across the state. >> well, look, martha. i think the question is pretty simple. it's the one we put forth in front of the supreme court, which is canning governor used his executive powers to infringe upon the first amendment rights that we all hold so dear, in particular here, the free exercise of religion? i know parents all across the commonwealth who, in exercising their right to free religion here in the commonwealth, are sending their children to private christian scho

we're hoping for the beshear, but a lot of the problems that have to be worked out are going to be issues that we had not foreseen so that distribution issues, frezing issues, and people accepting the vaccine as we hope they do. i think that americans are concerned. and they will be cooperative. it will take a long time to convince everyone to do this. we have never done something to this magnitude and we're trying to do it as quickly as possible. we're going to undoubtedly see a few hundred thousand more fatalities than we already have, katy. >> there is a new strain out of the uk. not necessarily a more deadly strain, but a more infectious train of the virus. many people have completely shut their borders to travelers. we have not done that here. we were pretty late to the game on imposing any new restrictions for the u.k. now we decided, the country decided, the administration, that you need to show a negative pcr test before you get on a plane spp that enough to make sure that spread doesn't come over seas? come over to this country? >> you know, and you know here is just the general

now why martin beshear and the bbc are facing tough new questions.ive to london coming up. >>> first, here is a unique way to evaluate presidents. look at their diets. look at what they are consuming. i am talking about their media diets and what those diets reveal about their leadership. because policy, personnel picks, everything flows from sources of information. and we all know about trump's top sources. talk shows on fox news have distorted his view of the word and his presidency has suffered as a result. in my view, the junk food weighed him down and contributed to his defeat in november. some of these shows keep telling him that he won. they are deceiving millions of people, including the outgoing president. it is a feedback loop of fictions that is fundamentally why trump's final days in office are full of rage and denial. today's wash"washington post" s trump is going nuts about voter fraud. it occupies seemingly every waking moment of his day. there is a cause and effect here. he is tweeting about news max and one american news more than ev
