moment. we're still dealing with families in pain from mass shootings that have occurred the loss of life, their beloved children and grandchildren. today, this free court struck down in new york law that limits who can carry concealed weapons. the u. s. house select committee is holding its 5th hearing into last year storming of the capital building and president donald trump pressures tact trumps pressure tactics to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. the former acting deputy attorney general robert donahue described how he responded during the near daily discussions between trump and members of the justice department about allegations of voter fraud. i felt in that conversation that was incumbent on, on me to make it very clear to the president what our investigations had revealed. and that we had concluded based on actual investigations, actual witness interviews, actual reviews of documents that these allegations simply had no mirror. and i

wanted to try to cut through the noise because it was clear to us that there are a lot of people whispering in his ear, feeding him these conspiracy theories and allegations. and i felt that being very blunt in that conversation might help make it clear to the president at these allegations were simply not true. there are urgent appeals for international help. after afghanistan's most destructive earthquake in 20 years, at least 1500 people have been killed. and entire villages reduced to rubble. survivors are desperate for food, shelter and drinking water. aid is trickling in, but it's not enough. given the scale of the disaster. iran has dismissed the powerful chief of its revolutionary guards, intelligence service, stay tv reported her st types dismissal. but gave no further details. tire worked at the office of iran supreme leader ali how many before becoming intelligence chief in 2009. indigenous protesters in ecuador have taken over

ah ah, ah. this is already been really? no, you're about real good. and we do raise money for our fran off. for

now, no one is doing science with this is where we're owning our hillbilly. we're taking pride in the way we look. definitely the really nice way they help the program with what is your billing lo medina value with modern time. this is what we're calling arguably here. i think i can better flag. wow, hi job. well, you're not a branch dictum bag. whack, whack my interview, go talk about the bus and i was going on on their side to embryo. full. so brian, doing about with her to marry, you was massett the biology male. you gotta get to know me a lot better to all of these are represent the things that we fear is america a did. does that and that is have but he don't have wow.

i grew up in appalachia watching my grandfather like he ha, oh, in the beverly hillbillies. ah, i hated the shows growing up. i'm gonna go with granite. you can't. you are, ma'am. oh, my champ, there's a long history of stereotyping that has plagued the appalachian region. yeah. now the dumb trav voters really are the dumb trombone. she is the certainly all sound as tacky and as stupid. and as wind blowing, we ignorant as he does. i. in the run up to the 2016 presidential election, i was making a film about portrayals of appalachian people and pop culture news coverage about the region exploded. and suddenly every one was talking about the great divide.

blue versus red, urban versus rural in one region, my hometown region was singled out as the reason for trump's rise. my hometown kemper, kentucky right in the heart of the appalachian coal fields. though when most people hear my accent, they assume i'm from the south. appalachian in the region where the history and culture that is complicated and all sound the term hillbilly was born here. and more recently the idea of the heart of trump country ah, ah ah, ah, this is me during the election. this was my facebook page.

ah this is my granny shelby ah, around the time of the election. this was her facebook page. ah, donald trump grabbing me, i just can't believe my grandmother posted this on my wall. i may be the only person from kemper kentucky and los angeles. almost everyone i know hear, despises trump, but back home the perspective is quite different. the 2016 election may painfully clear the disdain that urban liberals have toward so much of rural america, particularly appalachian i relate to both worlds. as a progressive feminist and filmmaker, i was curious to visit my hometown during this device. it political moment. her

we are on our way to meet health holler, 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 i packed up u haul and moved out in. 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 when i was about to experience moving from rural kentucky to urban

kentucky was the greatest culture shock of my life. people identified me as someone from the mountain the reactions to the way i talked or insulting and made me feel silent. i moved to los angeles years later and to this day, people fill out. where'd you get that accent? where are you from? oh my goodness gracious, this is me. holler. and my childhood home right before us we moved out of that house in 1998. is that a rebel flag right there in the middle? yeah, this was my bedroom up 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

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. cole and wal mart. i work at wal mart. it gets hard times out here and it gets rough best and you know, when or when you know, and none of them you know, me and the best way you can just try to make ends made

back in the hills of floyd county, kentucky. you will find some of the forest places in america. one road out, lloyd county, i'm going. that's right. next door to pike county where i education is the only way out. when i was 9 years old, i saw this 48 hours news program which made sweeping generalizations about people from my region. like we were all to be pity. this is your room. i was in a little crowded near that show made me feel shame for being from eastern kentucky during the war on poverty. in the sixty's, the federal government spent more than $3000000000.00 to build highways, connecting the appalachian hills 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 every day. that's probably struggle for the things many people take for granted. that tv news program had a lasting impact on me. it was the 1st time i saw my community portrayed as for what trash a legacy that goes way back. and this ration to they hear and

now declares unconditional war on poverty in america. but mrs. johnson were to the roots of appellation property, the martin county kentucky. the war on poverty is complicated while it helped some people by establishing social welfare programs like food stamps and medicaid. it led to an influx of volunteers and journalists from around the world and 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 was one day a school. somebody came in with a truck and gave a ever student. they are a pair of shoes. just half the gym was full of ugly shoot. and that's what the government, i guess, thought we needed. and it was an interesting to have people coming in to look at this area. but it became very evident that it's,

it was critical and we did that on the porch and we weren't barefoot. that was just what we did. so when i see the film and there is a depiction of suppor appalachian mountain people, and it really irritates me because i didn't see us is that where my granny shelby live a you. i'm good. i'm just putting this my phone on me and then i'm gonna give you her. hi baby. it's good to see. oh, it's great fleet, you granny, this, let's click that on your bell so that it sounds i don't if bill ashley ha hi. hello, i'm gonna greet you get right to the lead. you've made her brine. alright

grannie. so c, perfect. because otherwise is roosters are competing rooster here. birds out there . this 11 teeny, tow brewster luncheon. you to actually sell me on you to an 11 song. oh what you find me in phillips, you spent all stages on talking. i'm now kidding. bullshit trump cap. he's been wearing trunk, chirped truck cap. which will have a he so he went with us to the rally. you're going to look back at this election. i'd say this is by far the most important vote that you've ever chose for anyone at any time because it was unfathomable to me, the trunk could be hillary. i just could not understand why my family, who voted for brock obama supported him. what is it about donald trump that makes he want him to be the 45th president of the states?

well, the man knows how to make money. no, it is. he's got over $10000000.00. he has know how to make money. so i believe you could actually bring the jobs back and create jobs. i'm not saying probably the same stopped. it should have been say, the locker room. talk about aubrey. honestly does not. may anybody who has done something similar to that and they just blow it out of proportion. did you all expect to be this enthusiastic about the election because it's been very intriguing to see some of these posts that had been going around. i was a democrat all my la and then primary. i went and changed to republican just so i could vote for trump during the caucus here. for a mountainous about that for i'm from really had no one to have her back before.

isn't just the same old thing, empty promises. yeah. now, you know, they're just too much stuff on hillary, just all the investigations and stuff like that. so what we had to loose vote trap. we drove for. i voted for hillary clinton. oh shane. oh god. i did you all. water was getting him sour look. all i know i did full disclosure. i did a vote by mail application. i did the ballot. i must do not. now the virtues, girls just wrap. i should have gypsy had them hasn't. dion, you bet. and later burke and you'd be lot lot smarter or thought. okay. i appreciate you. are we still? yeah, he did that. i even if it did lead to me becoming a radical progressive,

we still love you no matter what. oh yeah. we did. you need me for god about that. ah, this is interesting. this is a story that the city paper did in like saying 10. i think the question wise, where do you see yourself in 10 years? i would have been 18 here. and i said, angela. and that's what happened. my family has lived in eastern kentucky for 6 generations. he was a co minor. my grandparents on both sides worked in the coal industry. you were probably 6 right months old. my whole life i was told to get out. i never questioned why i went to serve my country, but people just rode. de leon talked over me and like i wasn't even there,

they sang just because i grew up in a city and they talk with more pronounced words. especially when i know fans went after southern california. that was the worst i was looking for the of the brotherhood under bri up. i think that was all somehow related to their stereotypes at mountain people or to yes. yeah. well they, they still think northerners always did that. they'd always think that they're above it. bailey, hillary said that we were all deplorable. according to her were all nothing were a bunch of backwoods people that are on her feet. you could put half of trump supporters into what i call the basket of deplorable

right people in california and all these other states look at the hillbillies like me. they have a certain perception of us because whatever they see on tv. well, bobbie, i emphasize when i was that young stir at 18 years old, going from the holler to the big city, lexington kentucky. that's how i felt, you know, i was a journalism student. you know, journalists are supposed to speak with a midwestern accent, which has meant to be no accent, so that you can pick up and move. and basically, just like sterilized as any kind of culture or regional uniqueness. that might be. and i was told you've got to speak correctly, which meant i was be 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 of the editor as to the paper. i was the editor, tv, change where you were from what you were right.

ah, i would have never hurt him any more than i had heard in june bug. my sag is that like ours guy, you got this kind of like florida panhandle. thing going where's what you really want is more of a savannah? actually i don't, i don't belong, don't ever go yeah. arkansas kind of live. it pulls by the constant market. south, alabama. yeah. you mailed that real while they get a going that i have seen time and again from these media portrayals is that it produces shame and self hatred. i mean our, with a lot of young people who don't want people to know where they are from. they want to change the way they speak, they want to escape the region as soon as possible because they're ashamed of it. as somebody who grew up in the region, i have always felt several layers of been the other. always discouraged is feel

like a perpetual immigrant because we've been here so long. i mean, my family has been an avalanche of for 8 generations. to some extent were still treated like immigrants were treated like we're from another country. when we go out into the rest of the united states, such a strange phenomenon, people speak slowly to us and expect that we're not gonna, you know, get common references, a woman what's asked me if i knew johnny carson was, you know, because i was from appalachian she didn't like we had tv or nobody was literate. apalachee was a construction, it was a social and cultural invention. for example, iowa is a construction to the difference between iowa and appalachian 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 appalachian everywhere in the world.

there are happy latches and therefore everywhere you go, there are hillbillies. if we think of the hillbilly as sort of an outcast group, this your 1st trip to new york, i collected an article in which the official chinese news agency criticized a group of chinese people living far away from big gain. as the equivalent of hillbillies. everybody has an appalachian everybody has somebody that they can feel superior to. we all do back why the hillbilly is the image of a guy with a corn cob by remote ignorant, barefoot, lazy, and so has really been a way of legitimated the dispossession of the mountains. it's a region of people who are deprived not part of the american dream. they don't

really deserve the kind of resources. and welf lie beneath the land of appalachian particularly coal. it's only a region of trash, so why not trash it? and the flooded valley. so the appalachians about 20 people are dead. 20000. they've been moved out of helicopters and robots to blame for the flash. blending is being placed on extreme erosion upside coal operations strip mining. enlarge tree clearing that allow the water to cascade in rivers with great speed. there were immediate promises of temporary housing from the federal government, but no trailers have arrived yet. nobody gave us anything we worked for maybe. but now we do need help initially when we do need help. why do we need to go? like if we can't get 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 home town, while it sustained their families,

it ravaged the land without coal. you have very little of everything in our area. and i like this area should be very happy that corporations such as ours, us steel and others are here for decades, all companies came to where we grew up and took out truckload after truckload of coal. the mining calls floods and destroyed home and left our creeks orange and lifeless. they brand, you got anything you know for you going may have got anything to say that the news media, my, my granny, i remember these mac, the plug, you know, plus 77 plus took home slugs that, you know, people had to raise their houses and they suffered deeply from that and didn't get support from the government like migrating i remember her whole life was fighting

for support and stuff. this is a flood plain here. what we want is for fema to come in and help us. i mean people, this is, this is, it's a shame. it's more than a shame. i don't care about people that live here in these areas that feel water is not a little support. it was around, but i would call the newspaper and get them to come over and take pictures. the government is supposed to be up for by the people. but that is the way, the politician when they get an office they know who's take care of because they're the ones take care of them. i certainly didn't agree with my grand and politics, but i knew she had a long list of resentments against the government, which helped me understand her point of view. you know, the minor is to

a certain it is so down and 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 co. i think at that time if somebody would have asked her, would you ever bell for someone who would make a comment that he freely would grab one about a i think she'll have a very different answer at that time. in her life oh boy, it's an international electronic crypto currency used to close the globe. it's, it's the best part is exist on the planet. but few know how it's made. it's role in the criminal underworld. it's rise to legal tender. it's implications for the global financial system and the devastating carbon footprint it leaves behind its energy consumption is such

a massive step backward. people in power investigates crypto own al jazeera in germany's capital. there is a barber like no other than that. according to the home phone, i mark not basra possible to you but as his city changes, he's moving with and going on the road. the stories we don't often hear told by the people who lived in the master barbara of berlin. this is europe on al jazeera. i'll just eras correspondence bring you the latest developments on the war in ukraine. we had to take cover offenses. what's happening on a daily basis? the medics here say he is incredibly lucky. those coming out across the lines of no, no man's land where one of the few to gain access to this embattled town. they take us to their basement, where we find others sheltering from the shelling. these evacuation val price like

a 3 day journey devastate buildings are now a grim reminder that the russians were here. ah, i'm how much of german durham these are the top stories on al jazeera ukraine has taken a major step towards membership of the european union. after the leaders of member states voted to give the war torn country you candidate status. president volota mars lensky hale. the decision as historic, moldova was given the same status. the u. s. supreme court has handed down a landmark victory to gun rights advocates. it ruled that restrictions put in place by new york state on carrying concealed handguns in public or on constitution. as governor of state of new york, my number one priority is to keep new yorker safe. but today the supreme court is

sending us backwards in our efforts to protect families and prevent gun violence and is particularly painful that this came down at this moment. we're still dealing with families in pain from mass shootings that have occurred the loss of life, their beloved children and grandchildren. today, this free court struck down in new york law that limits who can carry concealed weapons. the u. s. house select committee is holding its 5th hearing into last year storming of the capital building. the committee heard how then president donald trump made almost daily calls to the justice department with allegations of voter fraud. search and rescue operations of ended in some major regions of afghanistan after the countries worse, earthquake, and 20 years. at least 1500 people have been killed. the taliban governments made an urgent appeal for international help. survivors are desperate for food, shelter, and drinking water. iran has dismissed the powerful chief of its revolutionary

guards. intelligence service, state tv reported was same times dismissal, but gave no further details. tire worked at the office of iran supreme leader ali hominy before becoming intelligence chief in 2009 indigenous protesters in ecuador have taken over a cultural centre in kito that had been sealed off by the security forces for a week after 11 days of a nationwide strike against government policies and the rising cost of living. the occupation has been celebrated as a victory by the protesters. the house of culture has traditionally given shelter to indigenous demonstrators when they come to the capital. but the government had blocked access as it strives to contain the protests. those of the headlines, the news continues here on al jazeera, after witness oh, you oh, every

b and listen to the story. not all relate to the, this is harland county usa. i saw this movie when i was 19 arabic, glad on the vacant land, and we'll wender andre. it fell out. stand it it was the 1st time i remember seeing the people of eastern kentucky represented the 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 in public education and it wasn't, you know, a space of like radical thought or 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 and a lot of people are vulnerable. i mean, it's really incredible the way that media works and how the stories can get told.

as industrialists become interested in the region for minerals, for lumber, for coal, the people that were living there could also be seen as a kind of potential threat or at least a interference with their economic plans. and so a new conception emerges of them as a dangerous and threatening people who might threaten civilization itself or not just talking about hillbillies. i eat people who live in the mountains for 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. oh, general era, no, no, no, no, no, no. you can still hear that. that piece of music, and so you'll lock the car doors just in case the car were to break down a john leo for the male thing in the liver and said,

there is this horrifying right now. if you hear that lick on the banjo, it brings up this image of right ah, in deliverance, there is an acknowledgement at the beginning, the film with the images mountain being blown up. an acknowledgment of the cities exploitation of the rural rape, this god damn landscaper o louis my extreme point of view agreements. are you nervous the a little bit? are you nervous about this? i'm not all. i've always been that way. this is used to be my classroom. we had to direct and look for extra in

somehow i come in, our class got to look and pick tools out. i wasn't the same. the same person that i was when they put that make up the head market. and it, and it probably shop, ah, 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. i having that seen work really put this film on a different level, which was the break of my life. i guess that's probably one of the great moments ever put on the screen. is there anyone out there who hasn't seen the motion picture delivered us? seen a large number of times, but there is a moment there when he plays the banjo with a retired boy, and they suddenly discover each other. and ronnie plays a guitar and they do dueling banjos. and i guess probably one of the most electric

moments on the screen either get goose pimples just thinking about it. it was nominated for academy award supporting the annual meeting award presentation. and it's nearly always listed in the top 15 or 30 of the best films of all time, ged me. ah, ah, ah, how much money did you make for your ro and deliver it and made me and i wish i could be an actor. i just left to go to las vegas wondering hope to now get to the but i don't think it's going to happen.

i. 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 ah, deliverance for billy his hope and his hendrick, me when i 1st seen the movie, i didn't know that part was going to be in there. you know, i thought to myself, the people were going to see that movie. if i man it destroys roping county. ah

ah, sports bar that at the white trash theme. scott, the rescue bullet collection 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 she and i think it only bothers me in the same way. the white people are turning their black through, adopting hip hop culture dos. it's not your experience with along with the same day when you called the white trash party, i thought you maybe the best get. so anyway, this normally fans with, when you get your ideas about what, what trash looks like, wow, i, i see a lot of imagery on the internet. i see what are they called memes are means internet media. somebody will put up a picture of like, torn jeans on here with a local white trash on board. many of char turned into, you know, drinking glass,

you know, my trash and i saw a lot of deliverance when i was a kid. ah, if a new hipster like what? wrestling no like white trash like white hair. yeah, absolutely. in a lot of it's through that or maybe dressing like this. don't even know where apalachee is or understand any of the issues about it. oh, you poor west virginians still have to like, my call to get your electricity. when like 14 percent of the power of new york city comes from west virginia cole, these hipsters, these millennials 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 desk in the nation from opioid use, but they're wearing our clothes and trying to look our look in can vegetables and drink moonshine? ah,

the co option of politicians. there's a long history of here. mcconnell in the senate won his 1st selection, running a tv ad in which he used hound dogs. he played the hillbilly. switch to mich, my 7th, george w bush's seen as a redneck. that's exactly right. yeah. nice child privilege. totally different clubs, ones on the shark ones, what the country club is a cultural politics to the success of more right wing groups in this country. and it hinges in part and depiction of white working class people. so from the right, you get this depiction as the salt of the earth. you know, the people that we lift up and from the left you get the stereotypes of vicious

money voted against their own economic interest because of guns because of gaze. and because of god, the 3 cheese their own behavior is precisely what people on the right point to in enlisting white working class folks for very right wing cause it was, i mean, they have contempt for the core, the country for middle class, for rural america. and they're now admitting it, 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 in the cold country. because we're going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business. we're making a movie about media representations and appalachian american people. and so what do you think is important? 2016. 0, man for warren is

a mom saying the jobs around here where the commons is gone. it's got really bad. a lot of folks think about the election. oh, anyway, it goes, there's no way, no co mind and is going to lose a lot of kentucky. people's jobs and this is for my goal. why do people not be able to like it's for their family really wanting to leave regina in united states now? well, i don't want you to try because he is very rude to women in this a painful when i can help the lightest they all are right and races. what do you think about his promise to make america? great. again, big rush. why do you identify hillbillies or? yeah, i'm here. leave my keys. are you the only thing? i

me i why about but it didn't work. i don't mess with the color about after you do it. we can go and make adjustments, but i don't actually think it's at blue really beautiful. so rare that you see appalachian through the eyes of an appalachian person in like new york city. or like, 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 and memory of the black coal mine and i like to show their hands down the fact that there is a small black community given in this place that i didn't even know about for all

my years of living. crazy law is pretty much completely changed often. it's really got me in touch with my community and just help people don't have to be alone in the world that they live. i did the girl in college. her parents really races. obviously she's white. her parents had a very negative view of black people, lazy and dangerous, all kinds of stuff. anna, we had it in secret, and we did it almost for like 2 years. and her parents pulled out of the school. once they found out that we were dating and i haven't seen her since, she hasn't 12000 really a heartbreaking thing for me. it's tiring to have to have who you are. as a person, everyone should be able to say who they are as a person. that was always very big tomboy, went to school and developed a crush on a girl. like i was laying my bed and just crow every night cuz my

entire family, they found out they would hate me like just disowning. sometimes people come in and they haven't really had to hear what it's like for a l g b t q used to be discriminated against our 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 home town. 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 like $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 watt 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 your sales republican. so you're just doing it to your sale . that's not the case. it just seems like you know it's, they're not blaming you for being republican and thereby me for being on greg. if they're not on for that and 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 this article is really sad. i feel so sorry for the people who live here. ok, like this person, the brown people get up and move to places opportunities, which is what brought people always do. it's the brain drain. they're telling

people to do the same stuff that teachers said to me when i was going to high school and bite, you got to get out. you can't, you don't need to be here. you've got to get out. there's nothing here. ah, me there's like around to have something else. so yeah, i don't know. i don't know what to tell you to do. why not for you to just have like a big head. yeah. like say, if we were going to do a montage of the you know, gotcha. gotcha. all right. voting has finally begun the race for president head of the whole issue between the 1st woman president and a business man running for his 1st elected office. 2015 has truly been unlike any political rate we've ever covered before. trump was eager to out surveys that show him gaining ground. lot of good goals out there. what's still unknown is the outcome on election day. now, i don't know where we are. what's up in america?

well, i'd like the hillary get a lot more votes and kentucky than people blank. yeah, she's not a wham, but there are lots of the little blue dots all over this website. so i was for my daughter's, i was for me and jason and all the couples. i know who were able to get married on a lot of laurie a decision in america. donald trump wins west virginia and it's a state where his message deployed. well, it's whole industry is taking a, beating the map, filling in 19 electoral votes to trump at this early hour a because it is such

a hard question because i love these people because people are amazing people. they have people that built this country to show amazing people. so i would, i just hope. well ma'am, when i historic all of it, what's unfolding right now? it's not over yet. we're watching every state, every electoral, without a doubt, probably one of the most momentous nights and in american political history are in the bank here. secretary. and then you want to pull out, you say, here's the issue. law to red rock, they're smaller, but they're only this only 24 percent of the vote for ah, who all those parcels and hillock work, casanova lee. oh gosh,
