individual, an american indian, alaska native, someone from the hispanic community, a white from appalachia. you're still trying to facilitate recovery. so that is the one thing that we have in terms of cultural competence and we have to radiate out from that by bringing in all the other idioms and icons and beliefs associated with substance use, but we're trying to achieve that. so that gives us a good position to start from. very good. when we come back, i want to get more into really the specifics among groups of what the, basically, the approach should be for each one of these groups within the context of providing services. we'll be right back. well, i think treatment programs that recognize that language and cultural icons and support and cultural imagery play a critical role in how a person relates both psychologically and socially could position themselves to do a better job at reaching the person who is affected. so one size does not fit all, but the strategy is one of welcoming and incentivizing through environmental and social and psychological support. so whether you're in a his

there are some in my district and in appalachia that president obama and his e.p.a. have a war for poverty in the appalachian region. that connectivity test is so severe that the -- the distilled water -- it would pass and just barely make it out of the zone in question but evian water would not pass and it's not good enough and pelligrino would not either. if you think coal is ugly, wait until you see poverty. there are some who believe and there are some in washington who think that southwest virginia and other parts of ap lash yeah should be -- appalachia would be a rich park to visit and those in washington who think ought to be happy, the folks who live there ought to be happy changing the sheets for the rich folks. ladies and gentlemen, that is not good enough and this amendment should pass and put a stop to this regulation. i yield. mr. rogers: i want to congratulate the gentleman. this amendment is well deserved and exactly the right thing to do. i appreciate the gentleman taking up the fight to save the jobs in appalachia, in virginia, west virginia and kent

in other words, what i'm saying to you is that the poor white person from appalachia, okay, may be entitled to affirmative action remedies just as a poor african american. color-base or race based is not right. >> host: this speech and you make a beautiful analogy in the met fore of catching lightening in a bottle with this speech. now, in riverdale, he comes up there, working on the speech together, so it's finished and everything -- >> guest: no, we did not work on the speech as a finished entity, as a finished, you know, text. what we did work on was ideas. we worked on content, things that should be in there, okay and even considered language that might be appropriate to express the idea, but ultimately, you know, i sometimes, i read things, and it says, clarence jones, coauthor of the i have a dream speech. no, that's not accurate. that's an overstatement. every speech that stanley leverson and clarence jones and i contributed in draft form from martin luther king jr., they were martin's speeches. the material which i am pleased to have contributed for him to, this draft material for h

theory, which i also classify as a half truth is the theory that because we had particularly in appalachia, a civilization, scotch-irish, et cetera, et cetera, of people who spent a long time fighting against the indians and developed a kind of warrior ethos, a warrior culture, that that is driving american militarism today. that that's the reason americans want to go to war because they envisioned themselves as indian fighters on the afghan frontier. again, some truth to this. jim webb's book on the subject contains some truth. but if we were simply lovers of violence, if we were gun-crazed people who like to fight and don't care who we kill including ourselves why would we have such powerful antiwar movements? why would we have such deep and searching debates. why would it be necessary to appeal to us on the basis of our value system and not simply on the basis of our love of fighting? no, it's the value system that i believe is central in convincing americans to go to war. and one sees this, i think, most clearly when one looks at the main reasons that we -- that are used to induce us t

there were children in appalachia with belly swollen from hunger. what right did i have to feel so bad? and many of them who's mothers would say i would have given my teeth for a home like you have you undesperateful person. lilian rueben's mother said treat her like a dog. she's ungrateful. these people just felt terrible about the way they were feeling. if you don't feel you are a right to have pain, and in some ways it's more demoralizing. and in many ways, friedan anticipated the bill clinton feel your pain, the oprah approach. however, unlike these self-help books that followed her, she said like the self-help books, you are not alone. your pain is valid. it's okay to feel this way. you are not abnormal. but she also said the fact that you feel this way is a symptom of a larger social and political problem. so as one of my -- the women that i talked to said it might have been the first self-help book i read, but it was the last one i needed once i got that message down. now friedan has rightly been criticized for ignoring the special needs of w

but obesity rates are skyrocketing. 30% of people in appalachia and the south, don't get enough exercisend thousands of these sharks were spotted swimming off boca raton on wednesday. we saw a similar group off palm beach last month. but these guys were even closer. that's the news at 7:37. george? robin? >> a shark kicker the last few days. shark week. >> i have shark phobia. >> glad she's here. >>> let's get over to sam. >> it's shark week on "gma." no. everyone is trying to get to florida. >> oh. >> we're going to start with pictures out of blue county california. so much snow recently that we had folks stranded. having problems getting around in that area. and here's what's going on. there's storm after storm, loading up on the west coast here, while the middle of the country has been enjoying the quiet warmth. when that moisture slides in it's big-time mountain snow. it's a pattern that l.a. and the west coast didn't have for the first part of this year. the storms are lined up there. it's not over yet. i'll tell you what's almost over, that's the big warmup in new york city and for

but there are thousands more permits like this throughout appalachia that the e.p.a. could put on notice, but coal is not the only industry relying on these 404 permits. i move to strike the last word. the chair: the gentleman from kentucky is recognized for five minutes. mr. rogers: the e.p.a.'s action at spruce will have severe implications for agriculture, construction, transportation sectors because it sets a dangerous precedent that e.p.a. can revoke any permit at any time for any reason or for no reason. . we need these jobs and our job-creating industries need regulatory certainty, not more of the same regulatory roulette from the e.p.a. mr. mckinley's amendment would inject certainty into the regulatory environment by stripping e.p.a. to retroactively veto permits at their whim with no appeal. we in congress need to keep our hand on the reins of e.p.a., which is running rough showed over small businesses and families and the constitutional authority of this congress. i thank mr. mckinley for offering this amendment. i ask for support. >> i would be happy to yi

including appalachia communities in kentucky and west virginia, native american communities in south dakota and alaska, latino communities in arizona and new mexico. african-american communities in mississippi and south carolina. and urban communities in philadelphia, new york, baltimore, and st. louis. . democrats represent 149 of these counties with a total population of 8.7 million. the republicans represent 311 of these counties with a total population of 8.3 million. with a total population of 5.3 million, 4 of them, are split between democrats and republicans. a total of 43 democrats and 84 republicans represent at least in part or one of these counties. 35 of the 50 states have at least one persistent poverty county. 15 of south carolina's 46 counties meet this ignoble distinction. and similarly, in the sixth congressional district, that i proudly represent. this is not a red state of blue state issue. that's why in the map beside me, the persistent poverty communities are colored in purple because poverty knows no political affiliation. poverty has never been limited to race,

the last point -- we have an appalachia -- a reserve that will supply america with 100 years worth of energy. we have to start tapping into this market. that is all i have. thank you very much. host: steve -- from "usa today." many factors emphatically the five friday's lackluster and when it reports, adding 49,000 jobs last month in what economists say should be the signal of the start of a search for the beleaguered industry. , writer, timothy, independent caller. caller: good morning. good morning. i was just calling to say -- good morning. host: do you have a comment about the president? that is all we got from timothy. as we mentioned earlier, president obama will be speaking to the chamber of commerce today. the first-time going to the chamber and addressing them since he took office. c-span will be bringing that to you live at 11:30 a.m. this morning. coming up later, we will hear from grace-marie turner talking about the healthcare lawsuit. but coming up right now, derek thompson from "the atlantic." we will be right back.

they would end that permit, level the hills of appalachia, flatten them, ruin the streams, destroy, destroy, destroy. the regulations are there for a reason. they are there to protect the precious environment of america. and if it is your intent to do away with those regulations, then know this, you will have a fight on your hands. you will have a fight on your hands when you try to do away with the regulations that protect the men and women on those drilling rigs from the extraordinary accidents that happened in deep water drilling. but my purpose here tonight is different. my purpose here tonight is to ask why it is that the republican majority has spent five weeks, fike weeks leading this congress -- five weeks leading this congress and not created one bill that creates one job? not one. five weeks, zero jobs. . you ran on jobs. where are your job bills? this whole debate is hiding something because as we speak here, you are in the process of figuring out how to cut $100 billion out of the federal budget for the next seven months. what does that mean? it means that national parks will cl
