11:01 pm
country chuck is for the president to resign and go away as soon as possible. i acknowledge that may not be likely but i think that would be best does not look as though there is the will or the consensus to exercise the 25th the moment option and i don't think there's time to do an impeachment there's 10 days left before the president leaves anyway i think the best thing would be a resignation patty colleen has more now from capitol hill. nobody i don't think thinks that the president's actually going to step down before in the next 10 days before his term in office is over we heard some republicans come out in the and said you know they think he should step down the perhaps the 25th amendment should be invoked impeachment the general republican answer is that would do nothing to help heal this country it's time to move forward we heard one senator say exactly what they said after the last time president was
11:02 pm
a peach that this time he's learned his lesson and won't do anything else but the democrats they have the votes they think that they're going to take up the a beach bit early as the week begins in just the next couple of days and they're going to vote likely to impeach him they just need a simple majority they have the interesting thing is palosi house speaker nancy pelosi she's not going to be in the papers over to the senate for at least $100.00 days so why is that well the senate if they were to hold their impeachment trial and it's not clear that they can legally since they'll be out of office what they're going to do is they're going to hold those papers and then the senate can confirm all of joe biden's cabinet picks all the other people that need senate confirmation and then the democrats can build a case behind the scenes hand over the documents and make the senate possibly bring trump back from impeachment trial in our other top stories in search and rescue team in indonesia has found human remains and twisted wreckage in the java sea the

11:06 pm
this is where we're owning our home so we're taking pride in the way we look i'm not going to leave the really nice thing out before and people think their way or a version of. what is a hillbilly living easy not familiar with modern times this is why we're calling our capability or passing like a better flag dock type job when you left a on a lot of cash back for you got to live when i'm not does not matter an inch thick and magnum whack whack my interview go whew talk about the both know what's going on honestly i think amber and you know brian doing the bottom because the good of you was my sister the following my own you're going to get to know me a lot. all of these or represent the bowings that we fear is america talking cannot tell the son it did just like this to his house. i i grew up in
11:07 pm
appalachia watching my grandfather shows like. i in the beverly hillbillies. i hated those shows growing up going up that's going to. do you care if you don't. like sham. there's a long history of stereotyping has plagued the appalachian region. they don't trust voters really are the dumb troll vote she is they certainly all sally as tacky and as stupid and as mind blowing li ignorant as he does. in the run up to the 2016 presidential election i was making a film about the trails of appalachian people in pop culture i news coverage about the region exploded and suddenly everyone was talking about the great divide.
11:08 pm
bloomberg has read urban vs were all in one region my hometown region was singled out as the reason for trump's rise. my hometown came for kentucky right in the heart of the appalachian coalfields so when most people hear my accent they assume i'm from the south. appalachia is a region with a history and culture that is complicated and all its own the term hillbilly was born here and more recently the idea of the heart trap country. this is me. during the election this was my facebook page.
11:09 pm
this is my granny shelby. around the time of the election this was her facebook page. donald trump grabbing. me i just can't believe my grandmother posted this on my wall. i may be the only person from kanpur kentucky in los angeles almost everyone i know here despise a strong but back home the perspective is quite different. the 2016 election made painfully clear the disdain that urban liberals have towards so much of rural america particularly appalachia. i relate to both worlds. as a progressive feminist and filmmaker i was curious to visit my hometown during this divisive political moment.
11:10 pm
we are on our way to meet house hauler which is where i grew up and where i lived until i was 18 years old when i was accepted to the university of kentucky and up packed up a u.-haul. and moved out. this is me when i was 9 i won the spelling bee that year. i was a member of the speech and drama team i was on the homecoming court. i graduated at the head of my class. there's a photograph from the day i moved out. i had no idea when i was standing in that driveway what i was about to experience. moving from rural kentucky to urban
11:11 pm
kentucky was the greatest culture shock of my life. people identified me as someone from the mountains their reactions to the way i talked were insulting and made me feel silenced. i moved to los angeles years later and to this day people still ask where do you get that accent where you from. oh my goodness gracious. this this made house hauler and not childhood home run before. we moved out of that house and not the 98. is that rebel flag right there in the middle. and this was my bed or what here my dad did all this brick work for the record this flagpole was not here when we lived here and there certainly was no
11:12 pm
. confederate flag flying high on our property. my mom was a nurse and my dad worked in the coal mines until he got laid off he became a brick mason. he once said to me that people would look at him and my mom as embodying the american dream they went from living in a single wide trailer to building their dream home. i felt fortunate as a child. for most people in my hometown of that time there are basically 2 job opportunities. and walmart. i work at wal-mart. it gets hard. in the get for us. to know when or when you know when. you know me in the best way you came. in just. to make.
11:13 pm
floyd county kentucky your farm some of the poorest places in america one road out . that's right next door to my county where i. only way out when i was 9 years old a saw this 48 hours news program which made sweeping generalizations about people from my region. like we were all to be pitied so this is. the probable that show made me feel shame for being from eastern kentucky during the war on poverty in the 60s the federal government spent more than $3000000000.00 to build highways connecting the appalachian fields to the rest of america but a university of kentucky study found that many residents can't even afford the gas it would take to get away everything from home for the things many people have that t.v. news program had a lasting impact on me it was the 1st time i saw my community for trade as poor white trash a legacy that goes way back. on this great sure they. and
11:14 pm
now we're. war. in america i. was alluding. to the roots of appalachian mcnulty. the war on poverty is complicated while it helped some people. welfare programs like food stamps and medicaid it led to an influx of volunteers and journalists from around the world their efforts were confusing and troubling to some folks like my dad and his 2 sisters who were children at the time living in eastern kentucky one day somebody came up and gave every student there a parachute just have to jail was full of ugly that's what the government i guess thought we needed it was interesting to have people coming in to look at this area but it became very evident. it was critical and we did set on the force and we went
11:15 pm
barefoot. so when i say the frail and the depiction of the poor appalachian mountain people it really irritates me because. as that. my friend shelby lives. fairly here. and good i'm just putting this mycelium in on me and i'm going to give you a high. good. group. granny this let's clip that on your belt so that is i don't ever actually hi hello i'm going to agree to get right to let you keep me for. our own
11:16 pm
brains see perfect because i was roosters are getting roosters here birds out there this 11800 question you've actually got me on you tube yet l.a. for some other what you find is like a small stage or some talking i'm not kidding or should trump kit he's been wearing trump shirt trump. which we all have. he so even with us to the ground. you're going to look back at this election and say this is by far the most important vote that you've ever cash for anyone at any time because it was unfathomable to me the trump could beat hillary i just could not understand why my family who voted for barack obama supported him what is it about donald trump that makes you want him to be the
11:17 pm
45th president that states well the man knows how to make money. you know he's got over $10000000.00 he has know how to make money so i believe he could actually bring the jobs back and create jobs i'm not saying probably the say some stuff that should have been said the locker room talk about abiogenesis which i've not made anybody who hasn't done something similar to that and they just blow it out of proportion that you all expect to be this enthusiastic about the election because it's been very intriguing to. see some of these posts that have been going on right now i was a democrat all mama. and the primary i'll wait and change to republican just so i could vote for trump during the caucus here before the mouths or i'm from
11:18 pm
really i don't want to have her back before isn't just the same old thing empty promises yeah. you know there's just too much stuff on hillary just all the investigations and stuff like that so what we have to loose vote trump would you vote for i voted for hillary clinton oh no you go flat idea you are talking of water was getting sour looks so long and i did full disclosure i did a vote by mail application and i did the ballot muster not the birchwood you girls just read a shit heel chips. but in that you burp. and you've been the whole lot smarter but i'm. pretty sure you will still have it in there oh man if it did lead to me becoming
11:19 pm
a radical progressive we still love you no matter what oh yeah we do. manually. that's. this is interesting this is the story that the city paper didn't like saying 10 i think the question was where do you see yourself in 10 years i would have been 18 here and i said cross angela and that's what happened in my family has lived in eastern kentucky for 6 generations. he was the coal miner my grandparents on both sides worked in the coal industry. you were probably 6 or 8 months old my whole life i was told to get out i never questioned why. i want to serve my country but people just rude to me and talked over me like i wouldn't even there they think
11:20 pm
just because i grew up in a city and they talk with more pronounce words especially when i know fans when i served in california that was the worst i was looking for you know the brotherhood of the pre-owned. need think that was all somehow related to their stereotypes of mountain people or to yes. they still think northerners always state that they double a state that they're above it daily hillary said that we were all deplorable according to her we're all nazi we're a bunch of backwoods people that are skull mud her feet. you could put half of trumps supporters into what i call the basket of deplorable zz.
11:21 pm
right. people in california and all the other states look at the hillbillies. they have certain perception of us because whatever they see on t.v. well bobbie i am 5 when i was that. youngster at 18 years old going from the holler to the big city in lexington kentucky that sourav you know i was a journalism student and you know journalists are supposed to speak with a midwestern accent which is meant to be no accent so that you can pick up and move and basically just like sterilizes any kind of culture or regional uniqueness that might be and i was told you got to speak correctly which meant i was speaking incorrectly and of course i believed it like one of the teachers the professionals you know i was working for the n.p.r. affiliate i worked at the city newspaper i was the editor of the student paper i was the editor of the t.v. station who you were what you were. right. i
11:22 pm
would have never hurt him any more than i had heard you. say like ours you got this kind of like florida panhandle thing going where is what you really want is more of a self i am actually i don't die no no no no no no no no. arkansas' kind of there there it pulls back after the concert so arkansas alabama yeah. they get that they are not we think of same time again from these media betrayals is that it produces shame and so if i try it i mean i work with a lot of young people who don't people know where they're from but i want to change the way they speak i want to escape the region as soon as possible because they're ashamed of it. as somebody who grew up in the region have always fill several
11:23 pm
layers of being the other always described this film are perpetually immigrants because we've been here so long i mean my family has been appalachian for a generations yet. to some extent we're still treated like immigrants were treated for from another country when we go out into the rest of the united states in such a strange phenomenon people speak slowly to us and expect that we're not going to you know get common references a woman once asked me if johnny carson was you know because i was from appalachian she didn't like we had to be nobody was illiterate. appalachia was a construction it was a social and cultural invention for example iowa is a construction to the difference between iowa and appalachia is you know when you're in iowa because there's a sign there that says welcome to iowa there's no such sign with the appalachian.
11:24 pm
everywhere in the world. there are happy latches and therefore everywhere you thought there are hillbillies if we think of the hillbilly as sort of an outcast group this your 1st trip clean your. i collected an article in which the official chinese news agency criticized a group of chinese people living far away from peking as the equivalent of hillbillies everybody has an appalachia everybody has somebody that they can feel superior to. we all do. that why the hell billy is the image of a guy with a corncob by remote ignorant barefoot lazy and so has really been a way to mating the dispossession of the mountains it's a region of people who are to prevost not part of the american dream they don't
11:25 pm
really deserve the kind of resources and wealth that live beneath the land of appalachian particularly coal it's only a region of trash so. why not trash it. in the flooded baez of the appalachians about 20 people are dead 20 abaza have been moved out in helicopters in rowboats to blame for the flash flooding is being placed on extreme erosion cycle operations strip mining and large tree clearing that allow the water to cascade in the rivers with great speed there were immediate problems of temporary housing for a look at all government but no trailers have arrived yet nobody gave anything we were put down we do need help and this is what we do need help them. find we need to go back if we came to. the coal industry created the towns we grew up in it was the centerpiece of life and the livelihood and identity of so many folks in my hometown while it sustained our families it ravaged the land
11:26 pm
without coal. you have very little if anything you know eric i like this area should be very happy that corporations such as our us steel and others are here. for decades companies came to where we grew up and took out a truckload after truckload of coal mining calls floods and destroyed homes and left our creeks orange and lifeless. a brand a good a good thing to say i mean don't worry i may ask what you have in mind or slave it better. than lose maybe i'm not black. because my granny i remember these massive floods you know the flood of 77 floods it took homes floods that you know people had to raise their houses and they suffered deeply from that and didn't get support from the government like my granny remember her whole life was fighting for support and stuff this is the flood plain here. what way wrong is for fema coming
11:27 pm
in and help but i mean people this is this is it's a shame. it's more than a show. they don't care about people like us that live out here in these areas. that have. water that it will. only support we it was. a while back well i would call the news. in the flood. and get them to come over and take a chance the government is supposed to be for bad people but that isn't the way these appalled when they get novelists they know who to take care of because they had once take care of them i certainly didn't agree with my granny's politics but i knew she had a long list of resentments against the government which helped me understand her
11:28 pm
point of view. you know the biter is to assert. it is so down that they've been treated so badly that they haven't been voting they haven't been going out and voting like they can and that includes members of their family that have left the mining business let members of the family they've left coal i think at that time if somebody would have asked her when she ever for someone who would make a comment that he freely would grab one of the i think she would have a very different answer at that time in her life. al-jazeera world is into the murky world of state sponsored spy one and the discovery by al-jazeera journalists that syria picked technology stocks that smartphones their free system. is this the new frontier of espionage. think about all the sophistication of exploits to break into phones this is as good
11:29 pm
as it gets. the spy in your phone on al-jazeera. all coverage of africa is what i'm most proud of every time i travel there whether it's east or west africa people stop me and tell me how much they appreciate our coverage and our focus is not just on their suffering but also on the more uplifting and inspiring stories people trust our agency and to tell them what's happening in their communities in a clear and i'm biased way and as an african i couldn't be more proud to be part of . the past episode of a new series expose the imperial origins of the drug trade commerce was good pirate compartment was good for commerce of the structure very much want to go into kids passage from the far east to europe and the united states. congress any money no new money in these mountains is open to. drug trafficking politics and power the
11:30 pm
era of empires on al-jazeera. the. the world. i know i'm maryam namazie in london our main story this hour is that it democratically to chuck schumer's wallet the threat of violence remains high after wednesday storming of the congress building by supporters of president donald trump president elect joe biden is used to be inaugurated in washington in 10 days time which could prove another flashpoint she misses he's spoken to the head of the f.b.i. and told him to relentlessly pursue the perpetrators to avoid a repeat of wednesday scenes democrats are now drafting new articles of impeachment against trump and a 2nd republican senator has called on him to resign. i think the best way for our country charge is for the president to resign and go away as soon as possible. i
11:31 pm
acknowledge that may not be likely but i think that would be best does not look as though there is the will or the consensus to exercise the 25th the moment option and i don't think there's time to do an impeachment there's 10 days left before the president leaves anyway i think the best thing would be a resignation. hundreds of people might have died in the democratic republic of congo's latest ferry disaster 46 people have been confirmed dead but rescuers are still trying to find hundreds more still missing after the boat capsized on the river congo on friday officials say the ferry was overloaded with both passengers and its cargo of cement. so. horrified and heartbroken the strategy is the result of fraudulent behavior on friday evening a boat owner and its crew undertook to travel at night despite time cross and
11:32 pm
unfortunately they did find it in that resulted in the events we all deplore. well the search and rescue team in indonesia has found human remains and twisted wreckage in the java sea the discovery comes a day after a passenger jet with 62 people on board disappeared shortly after takeoff from the jakarta airport the aircraft's flight recorders have also been found. and now to iraq a policeman has been shot dead and dozens of officers and protested and injured during brawls in the southern part of the country crowds gathered in the city of nasiriya to call for the release of activists arrested in earlier protests in demanding more jobs and better services in the city. more on that story and everything else in the news hour that's coming up at $2100.00 g.m.t. and half an hour's time witness now continues. you know non-release very very in these be and
11:33 pm
listen to the story. no not really to be this is harlan county u.s.a. i saw this movie when i was 19 airbag land on the picket line and will waive your right if they allow stand it. it was the 1st time i remember seeing the people of eastern kentucky represented dignity on film. this film inspired me to make documentaries. that was like an aha moment i mean i grew up in a rural place and public education and it wasn't you know a space of radical far ideas and i think that that very much set the tone for me and for the direction of my life and i was interested in telling stories of marginalized and vulnerable people because i grew up in a place where a lot of people are marginalized people are vulnerable i mean it's really incredible the way that media works and how these stories can get told in
11:34 pm
the immediate aftermath of the civil war the local color writing presented up a latch as sort of quirky in quaint peoples but as industrial has become interested in the region for minerals for lumber or coal. the people that were living there could also be seen as a kind of potential threat or at least interference with their economic plans and so a new conception emerges of them as a dangerous and threatening people who might threaten civilization itself not just talking about hillbillies i.e. people who live in the mountains we're talking about poor people who live in the mountains they're the ones who are going to cut your throat. regional and national newspapers promote the mountain people as dangerous and threatening if they stand in the way of progress. they're all aaron aaron aaron now now now marrow you can still hear that that piece
11:35 pm
of music and so you lock the car doors just in case the car were to break down. and deliverance there is this horrifying right. now if you hear that blip on the band. it brings up this image of rape. and deliverance there is an acknowledgement at the beginning of the film with the images the mountain being blown up and knowledge many of the city's exploitation of the world this whole god damn landscape of our lewis my extreme. are you nervous your little day are you nervous. because i want that
11:36 pm
way. to be my culture and. we had to do it and look at. intel now they come in our. got to look in. the same person that i was when they put that make up i have my heart. and it and they kind of. i think one of the things that makes deliverance work on lots of levels is that. billy's character and my character were able to sort of connect. having that scene work really put this film on a different level. which was the break of my life and i guess that's probably want to great moments ever put on screen it is there anyone out there who hasn't seen the motion picture deliverance scene at a large number of times but there is a moment there when he plays the banjo with
11:37 pm
a retarded boy and they suddenly discover each other and ronnie plays the guitar and they do dueling banjos and i guess probably one of the most electric moments on the screen i get goose pimples just thinking about it it wasn't nominated for academy awards the 45th annual academy awards presentation and it's nearly always listed in the top 15 or 30 of the best films of all time. had. you. how much money did you make for your role in delivering. nude and i wished i would could be an actor. i just love to go to.
11:38 pm
this blundering. i'm hoping that i'll get everyone. but i don't think it's going to happen with. billy was only in the 4th grade when the directors came to his school. he had no idea how the movie would be used or that he would become a symbol for the entire region. deliverance from billy. but his hope and his hinderance. when i 1st seen the movie i didn't know that part were going to be in there. and i thought to must fail the people that's going to say that movies go if i. manage this trace a robin county. sports
11:39 pm
bar that has a white trash theme it's called the rest of mullet. caution to me is taking someone else's culture and exploiting you know and using it for your own profit. there's a lot of ironic redneck shooting and i think it only bothers me in the same way the white people are telling their black through adopting a pop culture that's not your experience leave it alone. it would be the day it is called the white trash party oh my god it's not me just me but the best get 7 only this band do you. know. where do you get your ideas about what trash looks like wow i see a lot of imagery on the internet i see where they called memes or memes internet
11:40 pm
means if somebody will put up a picture of like torn jeans with a local white trash or minister are turned into you know drinking glass trash and saw a lot of deliverance when i was a kid. if the new hipster but right now we know like white trash we point here yeah absolutely. sure. a lot of the stores that are maybe dressing like this don't even know where appalachia is or understand any of the issues about it oh you poor west virginians still have to like mine coal to get your electricity when like 14 percent of the power of new york city comes from west virginia coal these hipsters these are going to be the people running our country and do they know like that say for instance west virginia has the highest rate of overdose deaths in the nation from opioid use
11:41 pm
but they're wearing our clothes in trying to look hard look in. vegetables and drink moonshine. the co-option of politicians there's a long history there. mcconnell in the senate one his 1st election running a t.v. ad in which he used how. he played the hillbilly. george w. bush is seen as a. nice trial which. totally different. ones are ones where the country. is a cultural politics to the success of more right wing groups in this country and it hinges in part on the depiction of white working class people so from the right you
11:42 pm
get this depiction of the salt of the earth you know the people that we lift up and from the left you get these stereotypes a vicious voted against their own economic interests because of guns because of gays and because of the 3 g.'s their own behavior is precisely what people on the right point to in listing. white working class folks for very rightwing cosseted i mean they have contempt for the poor the culture of the middle class from rural america and they're now admitting it's really important that people who consider themselves progressive understand what harm they're doing i'm the only candidate which has a policy about how to bring economic opportunity using clean renewable energy as the key into coal country because we're going to put a lot of coal miners and called companies out of business.
11:43 pm
we're making a movie every media representations going to watch american people so what do you think is important 2060 how minds for one is of my own thing the jobs they review or the commons is gone it's got really bad a lot of what you think about the election. anyway it goes to show we know. a lot of kentucky people jobs. lot of people. not be able to. support their family. now. well i like because he is very rude to women in this. way well i can't help your rice and rice is what do you think about almost to make america great. do you still believe it or am him believe that he's are you believe. this is you.
11:44 pm
thank goodness. i don't want to know but it didn't work for me don't don't mess with the color temp now after you do it we can go and make adjustments but i don't actually think it's up lou it's really beautiful. you know it's so rare that you see. through the eyes of an op auction person in like new york city. you know in the new york times or something. there are storytellers here who are able to critically examine their communities and tell powerful and honest stories and that you don't necessarily always have to find somebody and to tell that story. in memory of the black i watch that show that they're finally down to the fact that
11:45 pm
there's a small black community given that in this place that i didn't even know about for all my years of living as. i am i was pretty much completely changed. it's really got me in touch with my community and just. how people don't have to be alone in the world that they live i do they grow up in college her parents really races obviously she's white. her parents had a very negative view of black people are lazy and dangerous all kinds of stuff and we had a day in secret and. we dated almost 2 years and her parents pulled out of school once they found out that we were dating and i was either since 12 those are really is a heartbreaking thing for me it's tiring to have to hide who you are as a person everyone should be able to say who they are as a person. that was always very big boy went to school developed
11:46 pm
a crush on a girl like i was laying in my bed and just cry. every night because my entire family they didn't know they would hate me like just disown me. sometimes people come in and they haven't really had to hear what it's like for an l g b t to use to be discriminated against for a person of color in the group to be discriminated against so i think it's creating a bridge of understanding between young people and their own community. there's a guardian article that came out about my hometown they were doing a series about poverty in america they said something like the average yearly income for a household in lake county kentucky is something like 13 files or $14000.00 a year unless you are over the age of $65.00 and then that drops down to like 6
11:47 pm
