he went to a church in appalachia and spoke directly to the pastors who do this.sten. >> reporter: this church, in the heart of appalachia, is completely quiet just before the service begins. except for the creature inside this locked box. it's a rattle snake, and it's rattling. it's one of seven deadly snakes about to be used in a wild ceremony in god's name. ♪ this is pastor andrew hamblin, a 21-year-old serpent-handling pastor at the tabernacle church of god in tennessee. he and his wife and the rest of the congregation practice christianity much differently than almost all christians, using venomous snakes as part of their service. why? they point to the new testament, chapter 16, verse 18. it's stated in part, they shall take up serpents. believers like pastor hamblin, say when god anoints them, they have an obligation to do this and god will protect them. and even if they are bitten, their belief is god will heal them, no doctors necessary. if it looks dangerous, that's because it is. it's also illegal in the state of tennessee. but that only strengthens the

pentecostal families and their hit reale series, there's more than 100 of these churches across appalachiaing with state and local authority, pastors arrested for using deadly snakes in worship. >> the snake is nothing more to me. it's a tool used in the bible. >> reporter: a verse from the book of mark defines their faith. >> they shall take up serpents. and if they drink any deadly, it shall not hurt them. >> reporter: true believers refuse treatment when the snake bites. for the pastor was eight times. doctors say bite victims must always survive when they get medical help immediately. steve osunsamosunsami. atlanta. >> coots son will take over the church and still use snakes. >>> when we come back, the supreme court has ruled on what is really a pizza. see if you agree in our "instant index." to like 1,000 bees that were just stinging my feet. i have a great relationship with my doctor... he found lyrica for me.

remember these are crossing mountain passes and when you think about the appalachia, look on the map you see a settlement, you know every few miles, and that was really the distance the wagons travel in a day. you get the settlements as a striping of pearls between the wagons. >> what's next? >> the invention that of the plant of the wagons. the locomotive. >> let's go see it. so richard another one of the 101 objects right here. what are we looking at? >> well this is the john bole steam locomotive. peter when we see this right now today standing here in 2013 this does not look massive. if it was 1831, you'd look at this saying you'd never seen anything like this. this is a massive powerful machine. this is a steam locomotive. now, it was made in great britain because americans did not know how to make locomotives. we had the dream of making a steam engine to propel something. they went up the hudson river. we knew about steam engines, but the idea of achieving quick, efficient major use of technology to move goods and people around the country was just a dream. >> there's a fellow

is going to be a blowout, just like when michigan played appalachia state a few years ago. you can probably guess the rest of the story. the little-known catholic school for the midwest with notre dame. rockingest teammates launch the tour airport. during again and again. they won 35 to 14. the most sensational book all gushed in your times the next day. the army players are hopelessly confused and chagrined before notre dame and their style the attack of the indiana collegians. a cadet named dwight eisenhower watched from the sidelines yet he played for the army team, began an injury that day and couldn't perform. .. nobody speaks of prohibiting football anymore. when many influential people disked theodore roosevelt stepped in and played a critical role in the development and pries sir vegas -- preservation of the game. we don't want politicians throwing themselves into our game. the only thing to make it worse is congressional oversight, right? but the example of roosevelt does show that a skillful leader can use a light touch to solve a vexing problem, and with the nfl

. >> it's not going to help them in kentucky, in west virginia, in appalachia. idea they're going to pivot to climate change as a way to save these senate seats is quite insane. the people who care about climate change are the people who are comfortable, who don't worry about a paycheck, who live on the coast and are in favor of an abstraction. it's the environmental left and it includes those who believe rather remarkably that any unilateral mark on action is going to make a difference on climate in any case. they are not found in the states which the democrats have to hold on to win the senate. and that's why i simply can't understand why it's become a thrust of theirs. perhaps because they can't run on the economy, on jobs and employment, and they can't run on obamacare. so they really don't have anything else. i think if i were a democrat, i would go to what worked in 2012, minimum wage, extension of unemployment, as a way to in some ways undo the damage of obama's own economic policies, but it worked in 2012, which was a losable election for the gop, and th

sometimes i see appalachia in ways that are different than others. but the idea that god had within his plan to make sure that industry is going to make life safer you, not true. industry does everything it can and gets away with it almost all the time whether the subject of your hearing or water or whatever. they will cut corners and they will get away with it. regulation is often west virginia. it has always been soft and frankly when you put that together with sequestration and government shutdowns and the whole ideology, don't cause anyone to do anything which would cause water to be cleaner, bridges to be safer, and all the rest of. and so that is the story as i see it right now. i'm down to at the freedom, as you say, the timely part of this that is eating away with this unusual bankruptcy. all they want to do is say that we don't want to pay. the appalachian culture, a little bit of it. scotch and irish, a little bit, i am sorry to say. the world is that as it is, and you accept the world as it should be a menu make it conform to that posture.

the projects are part of a bigger effort to boost farming in the appalachia region of eastern kentucky. >> now.you don't have to go to a museum to get a look at historical u-s documents. you can access many items from the comfort of your own home. and it's thanks, in part, to the historical society of pennsylvania. here's a look at how the organization gets the documents online. >> this covers all of american history. this is one of those rare treasures. this is the printer's proofs of the declaration. our goal is to engage people into history and to present material and away that is acceptable. >> we have a preservation lab here, with process and catalog documents pripe. we keep them in good condition. we make it possible for people to see them. we are involved in a lot of history projects that take place. people can really explore the documents have a history best to arouse them. >> army resources are essential to understanding history. this is not something that most people have immediate access to. >> this allows us to be available to a broader audience. the beauty, the high-defini

i live in rural appalachia and i took care of anybody that walked in the door. that's what i thought doctors are supposed to do. but they're starting now to have a concierge type practice, move their practice out, you are going to pay them cash or a certain amount of money. i do that right here in washington, d.c., right now so i can see a doctor here if i need to and you file your insurance. whatever you have, that's a contract between you and the government not between you and me. i will see you, take care of you, not -- be glad to. unfortunately, people without means are going to be left standing, have to go to the get care like to they always have. now, the six, i would suggest them a role of course tape to put over their mouths so they don't say stupid things. we can win six. i don't think there is any question about it. we have great candidates out there. some ma -- that i know, tom cotton. three in georgia, great candidates running for senate. we've got really good candidates. it starts with that and then we've got to go out and get behind our candidates

regulations will not be limited to the coal fields of appalachia. if the e.p.a. has its way, rising electricity rates like we've seen this winter will ripple through this economy, threatening the manufacturing renaissance. home heating bills with will spike. goods and services will cost more. businesses will have to devote money that could have gone to investment in hiring to cover higher energy costs at a time when they can least afford it. companies considering to locate here in the united states will leave because our energy advantage will instead go overseas where labor and energy are cheaper and regulatory environment is less suffocating. americans are calling for more jobs but the federal bureaucracy is trying to make sure those jobs go elsewhere. and all of this is happening through agency rule making because that's only way that the president's environmentalist wish list can come into being. similar policies have repeatedly failed in the face of bipartisan opposition in congress. the president and the e.p.a., death to the vehement refusals of the american
