, kentucky, on saturday night after kentucky beat their in-state rival louisville. i guess that's an improvement. there was something on twitter, which is very interesting. it was a hash tag that said lexington police scatter. that hash tag was popular on twitter because it allowed people to hear and basically quote some of the quotes that they heard on police scanners in lexington. i want to read two that are funny if you will. no, let them light their fireworks just as long as they're not lighting them at each other. and then one other thing heard on the police scanner last night in lexington. we have a partially nude male with a propane tank. basically what happens these days when a team wins a national title, carol. >> unbelievable. at least no one was seriously hurt. the game itself was exciting though, right? >> reporter: basically kentucky came into the tournament as the number one seed and they did not disappoint. they basically beat every team by double digits heading into the final four and beat louisville by eight and last night beat kansas by eight. they

at the end of the day you look at kentucky. you look at the state of kentucky and a basketball program like that at louisville. you realize that they're bringing in 27 million dollars net revenue at the university of louisville through basketball. in a state which is cutting back just like most other states on higher education funding. so what is a president and a chancellor to do? they are looking for streams of revenue. this is one of them. they're not likely to throw the baby out with the bath water. >> ifill: let me ask you both, jerry starting with you finally, how aggressively is the nba playing a role? are they pulling up chairs at the side of basketballor courts and just waiting for these students. >> of course they're happy to wait. the longer they wait, the more mature player they get. the more seasoned player they get. and the more marketable player they get. because the longer the player is in college, the more fans become aware of them. someone like anthony davis. he's going to be a player that the pro fans will wa

he begins to get more of a profile outside of kentucky. he is invited to give lectures in other parts of the country in the free states. he spoke to a large crowd in springfield, illinois and guess who was in the audience? >> abraham lincoln. >> he heard him speak. he remembered clay. when lincoln became president in 1860, he gave clay a diplomatic appointment, the ambassador to russia. not the most diplomatic appointment to the core, that would be ambassador to england. that was still political favor for somebody who was a long-time out spoken critic of slavery. clay said later his service in russia mostly consisted of going to parties and drinking a lot and listening to conversations between russian aristocrats and thinking about what the czar was intervening with the war. he came back to the united states and became more conservative as he got older, but still remained very defiant. became more and more reclusive and died on his farm in 1903. now, some abolitionists were from the south and ex-slaves. the most famous was a man from maryl

and that made the pennsylvania rifle, the kentucky rifle. it also made the victory at new orleans a victory of the kentucky militia. all right. number five, tecumseh was the most important indian leader of the war. it's a tough sell convincing people that he wasn't the most prominent indian of the war. he built the western confederacy that emerged about the time of tippecanoe, and fought these various tribes. typically were allied to the british in the war until tecumseh's death at the battle of the thames in october of 1813 when the confederacy collapsed. i would argue that his brother was the more important of the western indians. his brother beginning in 1805 forged a religious movement that only around 1811 did tecumseh build a military alliance on top of that religious movement. without that religious movement, i don't think tecumseh could have forged that indian alliance. moreover, up until tippecanoe, really until the end of 1811, tecumseh was typically referred to as the prophet's brother. he was considered a decidedly secondary char

he also married a young woman who was from the slave-owning elite in kentucky. even when he was in his late teens and early 20s he was starting to make comments in writing and sometimes in public that were anti-slavery. he starts to say things like one day slavery should end. then he starts to say it should end soon. then he says that no truly patriotic person could support slavery. he got active in the anti-slavery movement. he starts to give anti-slavery speeches in kentucky, also in other places in the ohio river valley. he begins publishing his own anti-slavery newspaper in lexington when he called the "true american," emphasizing patriotism, that a true patriot would be anti-slavery, and as you might imagine, a man in kentucky saying this is going to get criticism. not just verbal criticism. one time a mob broke into his newspaper office and destroyed his press, and cassius clay started to get death threats. he is very determined. he is someone who is very strong willed, and he will not back down although he never emancipated his own slaves. it seems to be

for the state of kentucky. >> why is that? >> because 20% of what you're paying for is nothing but tax. 120% of a bottle of 1-year-old bourbon is nothing but tax. that tax goes out at the state, county and federal level. it also goes for school taxes, and for local operating taxes for the local governments. so, you pay tax on a barrel of whiskey. you pay a tax on every barrel of whiskey you store in your warehouse. for this distillery we're warehousing somewhere between a quarter of a million of whiskey and a million. my grandfather was here for 42 years. dad was here for 47 years. he was away for five years while in the service in world war ii. and in this picture he is leak hunting. one of the jobs at the distillery is to try to locate leaky barrels and repair them in place. the amazing part of him is he was the only living person to have personally handled every millionth barrel to come through this distillery. and at 92 years old, he rolled out the six millionth barrel at butler trace distillery.

that made the pennsylvania and kentucky rifally and the victory at new orleans a victory of the kentucky militia. he built the confederacy about the time of tip canoe and fought these tribes and they were lied to the british during the war and he had the battle when the confederacy collapsed. his brother was the more important. his brother beginning in 1805 forged a religious mutualment that only around 1811 builds an alliance on top of that. without that, he couldn't afford it. up until 1811, he was referred to as the profit's brother. he was considered a secondary character. his brother was deemed the dominant indian in the old northwest. we burned brightly for very long. he e merged after tip canoe and by october, less than two years later he was dead on the battlefield of the towns. i think the great john norton who served with the british was more important. he made sure that they remained loyal and he thought it was the battle on the niagara front. that was a more important and the front further east in the old northwest. it looks to me like they may not have been the second most i

kentucky has won seven championships and kansas has three.after tonight one of them will get one more but it is not much of a tossup if you listen to the experts. kentucky boasts one of the most talented rosters in recent history including national player of the year freshman anthony davis. some people say this team can be an nba team. practically everyone has them winning this game except the men in the jayhawks locker room >> davis is a great player but he is not superman so we just need to do what we do best >> should kentucky be favored on paper? >> they probably should but i've never known a game to be played on paper. like thomas said, have you guys watched tv right now? i have not seen anyone pick us. if anybody did pick us it would be bigger and that would be the kiss of death. >> bigger phelps is the espn analyst. we have kansas, kentucky, starting at the top of the hour right here on cbs five. we will see you for the post- game show right after. this is getting out of control out here. >> thanks very much. >> some talented dogs show

the problem for us in law enforcement and in kentucky, and i can't speak to other states, but in kentucky we have a battle with our medical community in that the casper system, it is housed over in a cabinet with health and family services. they have the data. they observe the trends that are problematic. they are supposed to take actions against licenses if they spot trends and report them to law enforcement if necessary. until this issue received scrutiny in the last couple of months, in my first four years as attorney general i didn't have a single law enforcement referral from the board of medical licensinlicensing. so the doctors if they're going to be prescribing -- there are different standards for an oncologist than a podiatrist but the doctors prescribing have an obligation to use the system to check their patients and to help us police the profession because they are underutilizing the system and need to work with us to see the data. i cannot ask who are the largest prescribers in pike county. i'd love to but the law prohibits me from doing it and the board of medical licensing
