you essentially have this built up bottleneck of gas in appalachia.is not applicable to all companies or all producers up here. the companies that are doing well are the ones that foresaw this issue of more gas being produced then there was capacity and the solution is securing capacity on the interstate pipelines. and making sure that you are hedging your gas to protect against downward pressure on prices. companies like this, we have secured capacity and protected against what we have experienced in appalachia. joe: you can see the problem vividly when you look at a chart ininventory to natural gas the ease and how much it has .xploded in recent years anything that can be done to solve this, or do you have to wait it out and wait for producers to fade? for low the solution gas prices is low gas prices, it is certainly displacing the producers that can make economics work for gas prices. you can see the slowdown in development over the last few years and that is on the supply side. on the demand side, you are seeing a new generation powering coal-fir

i am an historian of appalachia and was interested in some of these questions of white male violence that have been stirred up by things like the miniseries on the hatfields and mccoys in the way americans decide to take certain forms of violence seriously while thinking others are basically a matter of humor. i was curious as to why things that happen in kentucky are not taken seriously by americans or the historical record. >> can you give us examples? bob hutton: we could use the entire pop culture industry surrounding the so-called mountain feudists and all the images that conjures. >> the hatfields and mccoys? bob hutton: that and it has been referenced in everything from sitcoms to bugs bunny cartoons. most of the violence in the 1880's in america would not have been material for a bugs bunny cartoon. however, this becomes that. my question is, how do we look at this differently? >> what kind of violence are you talking about? bob hutton: particularly deadly violence between males, mostly white although not exclusively. this particular part of the country was overwhelmingly cau

certainly for the guys that are stuck here in appalachia and they are not hedged, they are in a worldhurt right now. it is a matter of looking out over the next couple of years and making sure economics work at those prices. there is not a lot of areas in the marsalis that work the lower -- below nine dollars nymex. below twoic can work dollars or dollar 50 if you are doing things the right way. for guys like us and others that are 100% within the court, have the right to know teams to get the most out of the ground, the economics can work. there is not a lot of reducers like that. alix: so optimistic. thanks for joining us. the ceo of rice energy. joe: we will be right back. ♪ some alixwe are looking at huge things and we take a look inside my terminal. by .5 of 1% to joe: another thing not to miss, lots of economic data coming up next week including my favorite data points, the employment cost index did it is a measure of much employers are paying for their workers. has been accelerating. you might expect average hourly earnings to pick up. thanks watching. monday. will see you have

same distinctions also apply to the neighborhoods of boston and baltimore, and to the mountains of appalachia and the american west. confronted with this hard truth some people simply shrug their shoulders and say if such inequality exists it is too bad but that is nothing anybody can do about it. i say such unfairness is intolerable and we have a responsibility to change it. [applause] sec. albright: as the light on the hill, the tufts community has always taken its responsibilities seriously and today's graduates are no exception. through protests and marches you have made your voices heard on behalf of the voiceless. you have stood up on behalf of workers, you have spoken out against the scourge of sexual assault, you have made clear that black lives matter, and you have pressed for action on climate change. with the assistance of institutions such as tisch college, you have shown yourself to be active citizens and this public service was recognized when the truman scholarship foundation which i chair named tufts its honor institution last year. it's an awful lot to congratulate you on tod

don dahler is covering in the heart of appalachia. >> reporter: when the search resumed wednesday morning, a convoy of 50 national guardsmen joined over 100 local and state police trying to find those residents still listed as missing. late this afternoon they found one, a third body was recovered. rescuers are combing roughly eight miles of rugged terrain between the towns of flat gap and staffordsville where more than 60 homes were destroyed and where family treasures are now buried. the searchers' task has been very difficult, downed power lines, tangled debris and thick mud slow their progress. what has not been slow is the response. bottled water, food and other supplies are pouring in to the local high school. becky scaggs was one of many volunteers of all ages. >> we just wanted them to know that we're here for them. >> we need toilet paper. >> reporter: and from as far away as 100 miles. >> i appreciate you all. >> you're very welcome. >> we lost electric and all of our water. >> reporter: monday matthew mckenzie's family fled their home. the family of five got a hot lunch from a

. >> reporter: in the mountains of central appalachia about 3,000 people are flocking to this year's free health care clinic in wise county, virginia. many here come every year. it's the only health care they get. but this year there's a new guest. it's one of first federal li approved deliveries by drone guided by gps and using drone-drop technology, it brought multiple shipments of prescription drugs that were delivered to about a dozen patients including bob and shirley woodward. >> shirley i got your medicine. >> reporter: people in the mountains have hard time getting medicine. >> they do. they have to drive an hour at least to get to the pharmacy. >> reporter: today's deliveries were from an airport only a mile away. it was a demonstration to show what's possible and the future of the plan is to deliver medicine and medical supplies right to a remote patient's front door. >> i want the check on you all. >> reporter: teresa gardner is executive director of health wagon, which organizes this clinic. do you think using drones to deliver medicines would save lives in this mountaino

knoxville very recently had -- they draw many different people but it's a subset of poor people in appalachia that identify with what he's saying. they may not agree with everything about jews being worse than i.s.i.s. but when he says the federal government has disenfranchised you, that resonates with them. not as a nazi or a klansman, he says things that make sense. >> and could he spark some people to commit violent acts just by speaking that way? are you concerned about this as a dangerous movement, a violent movement? >> you know, i'd rather not speculate. i don't think that, you know, his words incite to violence but there are certainly many people who could you know take them that way. i don't -- there's a lot of funny people sitting at home googling things on the internet finding out things they believe is you know things they should fight about and things they should take up weapons against. i don't think he necessarily incites to violence, no. >> so ryan if he's the new face of the white power movement, of the racist movement in america, where is that movement headed? >> well, if i

if there are no jobs in appalachia but there are jobs in california, people can move.n europe there is much less labor mobile. so i have always been a skeptic without a fiscal union and what 2k3w45i7b9s completely out of whack, with i is what greece is today, i don't think it works. i think the most likely scenario is a greek exit. i think that's probably likely to be the best thing for the greek people. >> i don't know how you prepare for a terrorist event or a black swann or something like that. the world only ends once i think. but if you were going to worry about these guys, you wouldn't invest at all. what do you do? pretend it's not going to happen and stay the course? how do you prepare for some horrific event? >> i don't think you do. i think you basically have simply if you are saving for retirement you invest consistently over time. and if there is a lot of sloppiness in market and my guess is this is not over. this is going to be uncertainty in spades for a long period of time and if markets continue to go down, you have a few extra buck, throw them n. i'm n

people might hideout, but it is not like the appellations we really do have to look for certain -- appalachiawhere you have to look how to get from point a to point to be. yeah. so yeah, there is an entire, very old book that, you know about the war and westchester. we even own it. the library that gets into the kind of nitty-gritty of how westchester experienced the war. and it is more of a kind of blow-by-blow, giving her the overall details. king is not trying to tell the entire war, he is tied to make this very specific argument. anyway, i think everyone's questions were great today. congratulations. i'm happy to talk to people afterwards about their papers. i will just conclude by returning to that conclusion of the things we want to remember as we talk about the homefront and about the war in the west. the americans have this commitment, but as kim makes clear, that commitment is not always going to be sustainable especially in the face of certain difficulties. but the british have even more insurmountable difficulties, both internationally and on the north american continent, that make

you can see where appalachia is and where some of the native american reservations are and where theeep south is. but the darker the color the higher the proportion of total income coming from social welfare programs. i'm going to fast forward. just look at the contours and the colors. 2009. part of what we are seeing is a revolution in government. when i was a boy back when i was away the federal government devoted less than $1.3 to social welfare programs. it devoted over $2 to things like national defense and retiring the federal debt and things you might see in the constitution and also things that more traditionally might be described as government. today the federal dollar goes 60 cents out of a dollar to social welfare programs so we have had a revolution in the financing and attention and priorities in the governmental system but if we look a little further and we are not going to do a test, just trust me it's in the book you will see the chart. over the last 30 years there has been a 20 percentage point jump in the percentage of americans living in homes that get the governm

in appalachia. it's nobt about not wanting to help the environment or environmental stewardship. but what's so sad is these regulations aren't going to do a darn thing about global carbon emissions. the clean power plant rule that this administration has proposed would reduce global carbon emissions by less than 1%. and for what? $8 billion in additional annual costs to our economy and thousands of american families without paychecks. this is wrong. the congress of the united states is right to stand up for these families. the congress of the united states is right to stand up for jobs. and that's why i support all of the legislative work done by this house, by these good members, the stream act for my colleague and friend from west virginia the coal residuals bill that the gentleman, the chairman, has championed and done a great job in supporting, my colleague, ed whitfield chairman of the energy subcommittee on the rate payer protection act. the reins act we just voted for which would stop all these costly regulations. mr. speaker, it is time for us to stand up for american job

obama is putting such powerful pressure on our companies in appalachia.t is the pore space in the world. -- poorest place in the world. this do trade deal -- they want to put up money so when people lose their jobs, they can give them a little bit of reserve. my wife works for a textile mill. they offer two weeks unemployment in the have to train people that come into other countries. their writing work fuses because our fuel is cheaper and we are getting a little bit of our work. now obama and his boys is signing a bunch of things to let people come into this country and all those places and make their people trained foreigners to do their work. host: rough, we've got. guest: i was going to as if he was role tide or war eagle from alabama. [laughter] he brought some interesting points up talking about the regulations out there. i think he referred to waters of the u.s., which is another way that the epa and corps of engineers are overreaching their boundaries. they're making rules that are just not practical. host: how so? guest: when you talk about anyt

why do we help people in appalachia? where people need help in this country, it's a union.union. >> share debt market. >> we settled that awhile ago and now we're arguing about this flag. but we settled that that we're going to stay together. and i don't see it over there. it's like the germans are going, wait a second these greeks are living beyond their means. and the greeks are saying these germans didn't even pay back world war ii. they're all different. they're not the same. >> they're all very different. >> are they a union? >> it's like the united states. each state has its own economy which you've accepted that there's a transfer. there's a transfer to have wealth and value and you've accepted that there's a reasonable fiscal collect system. the big issue for europe is if you look at the quality of the institutions in some of the countries, they're not all at the same level of maturity. for example in germany, if you're bankrupt in germany, you've wellched on a promise. it's deem z as something you just don't do. culturally writing off debt and moving on and startin

. >> but i don't -- when we subsidize appalachia or when we subsidize a part of the country that is youe of itself it's part of the united states. i don't have a problem with that. when you still have greeks and germans and nationalism and different languages, that's why it's not a union. i didn't tell them to try it. but once you did try it you can't go back on it now. >> i think effectively the ability to travel to work has benefitted some countries significantly more than others. they have many of the benefits without losing control. but that also will come up for a referendum. >> right. but they're never going to the currency. >> i would doubt it very much. >> and germany is -- [ overlapping speakers ] >> the worst thing for the germans, they're like the swiss franc. >> either you get a lot more concerted fiscal decisions made or you just don't do it. >> there's a reality in the middle. because at the end of the day both have a lot to lose. >> that's why they've got to do it. they could have left and devalued. they could have done that. we'll give them every possible opportunity to

i want to at the congressman know, as a 32-year-old pennsylvania native, growing up in rural appalachia. that, the younger generation come ice want to tell the congressman, the best political advice and commentary that our country should go by is by turning on the radio to michael sanders on the radio. i've been listening to them for 12 years. that was my reason for calling. just to recommend to all the viewers to check them out. host: thank you. guest: there is our sponsor for the hour. host: we will go to our democrat in virginia. caller: good morning. i want to say the iran deal is a really bad deal. first, both for the public -- republicans and democrats are responsible for the message middle east. we give iran a free hand in the region to cause the rise of extremists. iran sponsored terrorism, they took the embassy embalmed vmc in beirut. -- they bond -- bombed the embassy in beirut. we thought our arab allies, and it does not make sense. everybody is confused in the middle east. what are they doing? since bush, and now obama, even though i was a supporter of obama. it is a confusi

that whether you grow up in columbus or canton or appalachia whether you grow up in a city or a prosperous suburb or low-income suburb or a small town or rural area, so often your zip code determines whether you have access to quality health care, to good education, to a good job and to the social support necessary to succeed. that's particularly true when it comes to education. the quality of our children's education should not be determined by their zip code. too often that's the case. teachers in schools in far too many cases lack the resources necessary to ensure students can grow and succeed. achievement gaps persist between economically disadvantaged students and their peers. these persist between black students and white students, a lien theo students and native and long native english speakers between students with disability and those without these achievement gaps inevitably predictably almost always lead to opportunity gaps. we know education is the surest path to success. we say that around here ad nauseam. closing these gaps is vital to ensure that children, all children and g
