4:01 am
you. read but i don't. think it's critically important to be a real serious. those folks who are taking the syndication. threat people live in. the face of it properly cause great damage to the whole country and i think that's in view more investment journey than immigration republicans in the. one hour from my couch in washington. there was an internal memorandum distributed to f.b.i. offices across the country that was leaked to the media in which the f.b.i. was warning that it has information of acts of violence being planned in all 50 of the us states during this inauguration period so clearly this is a very dire warning from the f.b.i.
4:02 am
although it has not been made public i've repeated was a leaked document that the media obtained the issue at the moment with that resignation and that's the acting secretary of homeland security mark chad wolf has announced his resignation he has not clinking it directly to last wednesday's events but wolf has stepped up the security around the inauguration by extending the secure period from the 2 days around the inauguration to a media starting immediately that is over the next 10 days so essentially what this means is that the secret service will take over as point organization for security during this inauguration period it will be the secret service that will coordinate with other branches of federal government to ensure security and also very very clearly much greater planning going into this looming organized inauguration then there was for what happened last wednesday where very clearly there was very little planning in terms of the threat that had been posed online and by various
4:03 am
organizations even before those events took place at the capitol. the u.s. state department says it dated cuba a state sponsor of terrorism a statement from secretary of state my pump aoe said that cuba had repeatedly harbored terrorists in 2015 then president barack obama took cuba off the blacklist in order to normalize relations and the u.s. is also moving to designate yemen's who 3 movement a foreign terror group the u.n. has warned the decision to blacklist the iranian backed group could undermine peace efforts that make it harder to get humanitarian supplies to yemenis the u.k.'s health system is on the severe pressure from rising coronavirus infections the health secretary says that more than 32000 people a currently in hospital with codeine teen the government's announced a major expansion of the country's vaccination capacity by the end of the month lebanon is tightening lockdown restrictions as hospitals there warned that they're

4:05 am
her her. already and we have been today you're a part realtor. and we do the raise money for our frown off group thank you lockout going. down no one to stone side of.
4:06 am
this is where we're owning our home city we're taking pride in the way we look i'm not gonna leave the really nice thing out before and people think they're going for a version of. what is a hillbilly living easy not familiar with modern times this is why we're calling our capability or like a better flag stock type job with your left leg of. the walk from new york to live when i'm not does not manage to get magnum whack whack my interview go whew talk about them both but what's going on honestly i think amber and you know brian doing the bottom because the good of you was my sister the follow my own you got to get to know me a lot. all of these are rivers the bones that we fear is america talking cannot tell the sun it did just that just to his house. ouch i i grew up in
4:07 am
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're. my champ 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 lee ignorant as he does. in the run up to the 2016 presidential election i was making a film about the trails of appalachian people and culture i news coverage about the region exploded and suddenly everyone was talking about the great divide. bloomers
4:08 am
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 coal fields 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. i. i. oh. oh. this is me. during the election this was my facebook page.
4:09 am
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 hey. 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 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.
4:10 am
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
4:11 am
kentucky was the greatest culture shock of my life. people identified me as someone from the mountains their reactions to the way i talked or 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. isis made hell smaller and not childhood home run before us. we moved out of that house and not in 98. is that rebel flag right there in the middle. and this was my bedroom or what here my dad did all this brick work. for the record this flag pole was not here when we lived here and there certainly was
4:12 am
no. 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 at that time there were basically 2 job opportunities call and walmart. i work at walmart. here in the get for a. special you do know when or when you know when. you know me in the best way you came. in just. to make intimate.
4:13 am
or 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 grew up education is the 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 paid so this is. that show made me feel shame for being from eastern kentucky during the war. more than $3000000000.00 to build highways. for the rest of america the university of kentucky many residents. would take to get away. from. 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. to. the
4:14 am
. war. in america. i. was. bored to the roots of. 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. somebody. parachute just have to jail was full of. the government i guess we need it it was an interesting to have people coming in to look at this area but it
4:15 am
became very evident. it was critical and we're dead set on the for my wife. so when i say the family and i say the depiction of the poor appalachian mountain people. may because. as that. it's where my granny shelby lives. they were neat. and good i'm just putting this my flaming on me and then i'm going to give you hi baby good thing you know what group you. granny this let's click that on your belt so that it i don't ever actually how. i'm going to agree to get right to let you keep me here or. are at granny's see perfect because i was roosters
4:16 am
are. roosters here birds this 11800 struck a match and you actually got me on you to l.a. for so i want you find me there's like a small stage or some talking i'm not kidding but i should truck it he's been wearing trump shirt truck. 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 cares 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
4:17 am
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 stopped it should have been say the locker room talk about. abhi honest 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 around i was a democrat all mama and the primary i'll wait and change to republican just so i could vote for trump going to caucus here people from out as a bloc that or i'm from really don't want to have her back before isn't just the
4:18 am
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 had to loose vote trump did you vote for. i voted for hillary clinton oh. i did you all i thought of water was getting sour looks if it was you know i did full disclosure i did a vote by mail application and i did the ballot mustered up to the birch you girls just ran. i should heal them. but when they to burp. and you didn't know a lot smarter but i'm. pretty sure that you know you will still a lot of good in their own even if it did lead to me becoming
4:19 am
a radical progressive and we still love you no matter what oh yeah we've. been nearly. forgot about that. this is interesting this is a story that the city paper didn't like same 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 right. my whole life i was told to get out i never questioned why. i want to serve our country but the people just said rogue and they talked over me like i wouldn't even there. they think just because i grew up in the city
4:20 am
and they talk with more pronounce words especially one i know fans but when i served in california that was the worst. i was looking. the brotherhood are pretty. neat think that was all somehow related to their stereotypes of mountain people or to yes. they still think northerners always did they'd always think that they're above it daily hillary said we were all deplorable according to her we're all nazi we're a bunch of backwoods people that are under her feet. you could put half of trump's supporters into what i call the basket of deplorable zx.
4:21 am
right. people in california and all these other states look at the hillbillies. they have a certain perception of us because whatever they see on t.v. well bobby i am 5 is when i was that youngster at 18 years old going from the holler to the big city in lexington kentucky that sourav felt 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 it 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 a transfer you were. what you were. right. i
4:22 am
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. arkansas is kind of there it pulls back after the concert so. i guess i'm rambling but i'm saying time and again from these media betrayals is that it produces shame and so fight through 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 layers of being the other always described as feel like
4:23 am
a perpetual immigrant because we've been here so long i mean my family has been in appalachia for a generations yet. to some extent we're still treated like immigrants were treated but for from another country when we go out into the rest of the united states in such a strange moment. the polls 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 appalachians 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.
4:24 am
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
4:25 am
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 by ways of the appalachians about 20 people are dead 20 abalos and have been moved out in helicopters and row boats 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 rivers with great speed there were immediate problems of temporary housing from the federal government but no trailers have arrived yet nobody gave anything we were put down we didn't need help and this is when we do need help. why do we need to go back if we can't get. the coal industry created the towns we grew up in it was the centerpiece of life and the ladley hood and identity of so many folks in my hometown while it sustained
4:26 am
our families it ravaged the land without coal. you have very little if anything you know eric i like this area should be very happy that corporations such as our u.s. steel and others are here. for decades coal companies came to where we grew up and took out a truckload after truckload of coal mining cause floods and destroyed homes and left our creeks orange a lifeless. a brand a good thing to say i mean don't believe i may ask what you have in mind to fight it but. then lose maybe i'm not black. but my granny i remember these massive floods you know the flood of 77 floods that took homes blood's 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
4:27 am
coming in and help but i mean people this is this is it's a shame. it's more than a show i. 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 did 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
4:28 am
point of view. you know the binder is to a certain. showdown they've been treated so badly that they haven't been voted 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. i think at that time if somebody would have asked her what you ever for someone who would make a comment that he freely would grant went on i think she'll have a very different answer at that time in her life. ok calm and make sure you're not hyping the situation be part of the debate my main characters are women when no topic is off the table the law is in the last allow child marriage to happen legally these are basically archaic walls that often legitimize the legal one is pedophile. online jumped into the comments section and
4:29 am
he seemed to be part of the discussion this stream on out is there. the latest news as it breaks the explosion near an a.t.v. transmission site knocked out mobile phone and internet service for miles with detailed coverage many have told us that they have voted for peace. they are. the security situation in off of the country from around the world time as well as a dependent on the success of its that seems to improve its image which is something since the beginning. the past episodes in the new series exposed the imperial origins of the drug trade commerce was a good fire fire was good for commerce elise thanks very much once again and 2 kids passage from the far east to europe and the united states. the money money money in these mountains is open. drug trafficking politics and power the air and empires
4:30 am
and which is their. color get a very unfair going to here in doha the headlines on al-jazeera u.s. house democrats have introduced a resolution to impeach president donald trump for inciting violence on capitol hill last week they're also urging vice president like penns to invoke the 25th the bedbugs declaring trump unfit to hold office meanwhile an f.b.i. memo leaked to the media is warning of protests in washington d.c. and all 50 states in the days leading up to president elect joe biden's inauguration president trump has approved an emergency declaration for the capital until january the 24th security is being stepped up a week earlier than planned but arsenal god is deploying 15000 troops. i'm not
4:31 am
afraid if you ask i. mean really what i am what i think is critically important meant to be a real serious or. holy those folks who are a consideration. read people's lives. based for me properly cause great damage and be held accountable and i think it's a view more than journeymen immigrants the republicans in. the trumpet of illustration as designated cuba a state sponsor of terrorism a statement from secretary of state like pompei o said that cuba had repeatedly harbored terrorists in 2015 then president barack obama took cuba off the blacklist in order to normalize relations and the u.s. is also moving to designate yemen's who think movement as a foreign terror group the u.n.
4:32 am
has warned the decision to blacklist the iranian backed group could undermine peace efforts and make it harder to get humanitarian supplies to yemenis the u. case health system is under severe pressure from rising corona virus infections more than 32000 people are in hospital with codeine teen the government's announced a major expansion of vaccination capacity by the end of the month facebook has shut down accounts belonging to ugandan government officials days before the presidential election the u.s. social media giant says that fake accounts including those promoted by the ministry of information being used to manipulate public debate ahead of thursday's vote the election pits longtime leader jarome a 70 against 10 candidates that include pop star turned politician will be wine there's the headlines let's get you back to witness. you know 9. 190 in the room and he and
4:33 am
listen to the story. now really to be this is harlan county u.s.a. . i saw this movie when i was 19 everybody glad on the picket line and will wager great if they allow stand it. it was the 1st time i remember seeing the people of eastern kentucky represented 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
4:34 am
the immediate aftermath of the civil war the local color writing presented up a latch as a sort of quirky and 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 are 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
4:35 am
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 cities exploitation of the world are going to reach this whole god damn landscape of our lewis my extreme . are you nervous belittled they are going or. has.
4:36 am
been that way. this is going to be my culture and. we had to do it and look for. 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 record and it and they get 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 but onscreen 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
4:37 am
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 award 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 looking ahead. how much money did you make for your role in the women who had been. nude and i wished i would could be an actor. i just love to go to.
4:38 am
this monday. i'm hoping that i'll get everyone to turn but i don't think it's going to happen. 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 why. but his hope and his hinderance. when i 1st seen the movie i didn't know that part we're 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
4:39 am
bar that has a white trash team it's called the rest of all it. caution to me is taking someone else's culture and exploiting it 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 them 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 be just me but the best get stolen away this week and pretty good 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 are means internet
4:40 am
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 they knew hipster let me 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 millennium goals 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
4:41 am
the nation from opioid use 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. here mcconnell in the senate won his 1st election running a t.v. ad in which he used how. he played the hillbilly. switch to mitch bush george w. bush is seen as a redneck that's you i sure have noticed child privilege. totally different. ones i'm sure on this one the country. there's 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
4:42 am
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.
4:43 am
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 well you know think about the election. you know where it goes there's no way no coal mines and it's going to lose a lot of kentucky people jobs. go a lot of people. not be able to. support their family. now. well i'm. very rude to women and. your writers and rice is what do you think is to make america great. do you still believe it or remember him believe he's there you believe. this is you
4:44 am
. i thank goodness. i don't want to know but it didn't work for 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 option person and 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 to 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 hands down the fact that there is
4:45 am
a small black community here then 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 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 did almost fully 2 years and her parents pulled out of school once they found out that we were dating and i was either since 12 was a really it was a heartbreaking thing for me it's tiring to have to hog who you are as a person everyone should be able to say who they are as a person. i was always very big boy went to school developed
4:46 am
a crush on a girl like i would lay in my bed and just cry. every night because my entire family when they found out they would hate me like just disown me sometimes people come in and they haven't really had to hear what it's like and you can teach you used to be discriminated against or for a person 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 lee county kentucky is something like $13000.00 or $14000.00 a year unless you are over the age of $65.00 and then that drops down to like
4:47 am
$6000.00 something dollars a year. not only is this a place where people are so overwhelmingly poor but also it's a place in america where people are overwhelmingly quat and the vast majority of them always vote republican i'm not. conservative. but i think it's wrong to say oh you guys are stupid you're just doing it to yourself you're vote republican so you're a student to yourself that's not the case. just things like. you know if they're not blaming you for being republican and thereby me for being you know. if they're not done for that. not by me for that then you're lazy after this article came out there are all these people who outside the community are saying things like wow this article is really sad i feel so sorry for the people
4:48 am
