there is no question the workers of appalachia made people more prosperous and more secure. ,hat legacy should be honored not only as a rich chapter in our history but must always strive to repay that debt. i know that for a lot of people in this region, these words may sound nice, but it's not so easy to believe them. you have have a lot of politicians make a lot of promises to you over the years that they cannot keep. i'm not going to do that. what i can promise you is this -- if i have the honor of serving as your president, i will fight are you and your families whether you vote for me or not. [applause] i will be your partner and i will not for one minute give up on appalachia, not on your workers, your retirees for your community. some of you may be wondering how i can say all of this. here in ohio, during the primary, it sounded like i must've have said something differently about coal miner jobs. plainly i misspoke. to say that directly to the disrespectould never people here. i know that some may well say i'm talking about coal country, i'm talking about steelworkers, i'm talki

the impact on appalachia is compounded by other economic challenges. the chinese are dumping cheap trying tour markets, fix their problems on the backs of american workers. a lot of families still have not recovered from the great recession, which wiped out jobs, homes, and savings. yesterday i met a man named beau in west virginia. he was a maintenance planner. he lost his job last fall. he showed me a picture of his three beautiful little children, andn and two daughters, said he was trying to keep on a brave face for them so they would not know how worried he and his wife are. west virginians are proud people, beau said. we take pride in our faith in god, we take pride in our family, we take pride in our jobs. we take pride in the facts that we are hard workers. so why, he asked, are there not more programs in place already to help people like him? why isn't there more help to turn to? how are we going to get new jobs there, not years from now but right now? i will bet everybody in here knows somebody in the same boat. and beau was clear, he is a re

for the idea of appalachia was to them something that was sort of removed. they were not proud of the region. and we consider to this day that to get appalachian pride as being the center piece of what we want for our region, and therefore, more emphasis has been coming in recent years on education from kindergartens through sixth grade, and also teachers, and we consider that this is the very important aspect of our program. funding has always been difficult, you heard that coming up today. well, we're at a lower key than some of em in. budgets that run from 80 to 250,000 a year, low end at this time is still the area of expertise that we want to try to reach. and how do we do it? a variety of different things. now, here i differ a little bit from the other public interest groups in that we did not mind taking money from any place that was not industry, but any governmental source that was still receptive to what we were trying to do. we had ted kennedy's science for citizens program started during the carter administration and it was getting ready to start

now, having a good -- more to appalachia. now, having a good job is more about having a good paycheck. it's about dignity and a sense of purpose. i don't want young people to have to leave home to find those things. i want them to be able to stay right here in this region, be near their family and friends and earn a good living, be able to give their kids a great life. you just shouldn't have to leave home when we are in such a connected world now. so let's connect ourselves up, let's get creative and i know we can create a really bright future. and the third part of our plan r revitalizing appalachian communities is some form of advanced education. doesn't have to be college or university. it can be technical education, apprenticeships, community colleges but it makes a real difference. now, we are going to make community college free and give all young people -- [applause] the chance to graduate debt-free from any public college or university like the university of ohio.

appalachia vacation so inequality is about speculators and criminals get a helping hand from uncle sam of the vietnam vet down the street loses its how. inequality is the reason why some people find such enormous, significance in the ceiling height of the entrance foyer or the hop content of the beer while others will never believe in anything again. now, look. his republicans, force who bear the primary responsibility for our modern -- and i've written book after book after book. this is the party that launched us on this era of taxcutting and wage suppressing that we live in. they are the ones that made a religion of the market and fought so ferociously to open our politics to the influence of money at every level in washington. i think that just blaming the republicans and then getting back into the partisan war is not good enough anymore. i think it is time that we understood that the things that i've been describing represent a failure of the democratic party as well. look, protecting the middle-class society used to be the democrats holy mission. once upon a time they would've ta

but we do sooner or later here in central appalachia have to come to grips with our own reality and af that has to do with the fact that we have been mined for 125 years and the elves under the ground aren't going to make any more coal. we're largely mined out. what they're going after now are seams that they can blast away and our heritage of 100-man crews or 30-person crews is just not coming back. and that's business. that's not government. that's a corporate model. that's what we're seeing with these bankruptcies with peabody and arch and alpha natural resources. they're retooling for a leaner, meaner coal mining approach. >> so then let me ask you this -- >> and that's the hard reality we really need to face here. >> but so -- okay, and again, having talked to some folks down there, been in regular contact with folks down there, people know what the score is. they understand where the business is heading and what it's been. so when donald trump gets up there and says, i'm going to bring the mining jobs back, i'm going to bring the miners back, we're going to have a coal boom in a

> as the dust settles following indiana's primary last night the candidates set their sights on appalachia coal country of ahead of tuesday's primary in west virginia. not all candidates received a warm welcome. hillary clinton was confronted by a laid off coal worker bo copley, for putting coal miners out of business. he spoke here on "after the bell" yesterday. >> i'm hurting now. there is a lot of families hurting going without right now. we're not worried about down the road. we're worried what we'll do for our families now. lori: joining me now with reaction, more about the industry, west virginia coal association president, william rainy. good to have you. your thoughts -- >> great being here. lori: your thoughts on bo and could not fronting hillary clinton and her comments? where do you think she stands? >> bo hit it exactly on the head talking about the concern is and it is now and been for last eight years. remember obama said he would put the coal business out of business. he has done everything through his agencies to make certain that happened. the suffering and economic devast

clinton is focusing on appalachia, she'll be in west virginia and kentucky today, but still fighting for indiana where bernie sanders is hoping to make a tstand and talking about the fact that it will have to be superdelegates that he has to pull over to his side in order to win this thing. >>> tracy potses live on capitol hill for us. virginia is throwing more support behind ted cruz. 10 of virginia's 13 at large delegates will go to the texas senator in the case of a contested republican convention. the state's republican party selected the delegates at the stat weekend ineit convention. >>> a bad situationt painful. he said the territory didn't have the money to pay and keep up public services like schools and hospitals. >> it is very difficult at this very moment. right now we really have a crisis. we're hanging on the cliff already. >> this default could impact american investors who have retirement accounts filled with puerto rican bonds. in all the island has a staggering $70 billion in debt. the bill to better oversee its repayment plans has stalled in congress. >>> we're wai

we need to do better for bo and his family and families like his across appalachia and america.bo copley is the coal worker recently lost his job. confronted clinton about putting coal jobs out of business. he joins us now, sir, thank you very much for joining us. it is quite a journey for you. you are in the national spotlight. what was it like to sit there and confront her like that? were you nervous? >> i was a little bit leading up to it, but like i said before, i spent the day, saturday and then sunday in prayer and fasting for god to give me the right words. as we drew closer to the the time to meet secretary clinton the nerves kind of went away. >> is interesting that you say the right words, i was noting, that we were talking about it here, the words you used were so perfect, you say this one thing and you come here you want to act like you're our friend. it doesn't feel to any of us like you are our friend. you saw her response. she said, i missed, kind of taken out of context, that is not what i meant. what did you think of the way she explained it? >> when you make ne

of massey energy, the largest coal producer in appalachia, he employed 5,800 people and operated more40 mines. blankenship wouldn't do an interview with "60 minutes" but prosecutors say for years he condoned and tolerated safety violations for the sake of profit. >> ruby: right up until the time the upper big branch mine blew up, that was the way that the company ran, because everybody understood that was the way don blankenship wanted it run. >> cooper: that was the corporate mentality that he instilled in his company. >> booth: right. that was the culture that existed. >> cooper: profits over safety. >> booth: profits over safety. he set the tone. he set the corporate culture. >> cooper: despite receiving daily reports of the high number of safety violations, prosecutors argued blankenship did little to correct them because upper big branch was a big moneymaker for massey, earning more than $600,000 a day, and blankenship's pay was directly tied to every foot of coal mined. in his last three years at massey, blankenship's total compensation was more than $80 million. >> ruby: the me

appalachia vacation. so inequality is the way speculators and even criminals get a helping hand from uncle sam while the vietnam vet loses his house. inequality is is the reason some people find such enormous significance in the ceiling height of an entrance or the content of a beer while others will never believe in anything again. now, look. it's the republicans of course who bear the primary responsibility for our modern plutocracy. i've written many books about this. this is what is launch us on this era of tax cutting and wage the press and that live in. they are the ones that made a religion of the market and bought ferociously to open our politics to the influence of money at every level. i think that just blaming the republicans and then getting back into the partisan war is not good enough any longer. i think it is time that we understood that the things that have been describing our, they represent a failure of the democratic party as

>> well, now we are seeing reports that suggest appalachia is swinging from clinton country to trump, as the businessman continues to connect with the working class. in moments we'll talk about -- that was michael moore, a bernie sanders supporter who says democrats have reason to be concerned about mr. trump's chances. but we begin tonight with trace gallagher reporting from our west coast newsroom. trace? >> megyn, donald trump is trying to convince west virginia voters that he's dead serious about supporting coal and bringing back jobs. and as the political pendulum swings, he is gaining a captive audience. consider that in 1992 bill clinton dominated coal country, so much so that in many counties along the appalachian mountains clinton won 70% of the vote. but there is clearly a democratic decay, erosion that was helped along by the obama administration declaring war on coal. with the president vowing to bankrupt new coal plants. and then hillary clinton appearing to double down saying, quote, we are going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business. clinton cal

( laughter ) ( applause ) no one is going to, you know, appalachiaey're avoiding the inner cities and she can't make him the ambassador to, like, bora bora. >> larry: they asked if he was going to be in the cabinet? she said, "no, i don't know what you were thinking. i was just making that up. hello, i'm hillary clinton." >> "i'm not new to this." >> is he going to be downtown hall? what's his role? listen, i love "house of cards." i just don't want it to be, like, the real thing. >> underwood is based on hillary and bill already. >> larry: people felt like they got a two-for-one this time. do you think that's the expectation this time? >> it's him. you can't underestimate him. you can talk about this, that, whatever he did, whatever happened. nobody gives a ( bleep ). it's him! they love him! i-- i-- i was in a room with him, you know-- >> you were? >> not a small room! >> another just tell me-- good touch-bad touch. >> it was a party. >> okay all right. >> he got up to speak, and, literally, he is "you will buy anything the ( bleep ) wants to sell.

. >> here in eastern kentucky, and obviously west virginia, and southeast ohio, appalachia coal has taken a huge hit. it's something that i'm really worried about-- because, talk about a ripple effect, it is just decimating communities. >> reporter: late today, she paid a visit to west virginia. for the pbs newshour, i'm john yang. >> sreenivasan: we'll take a deeper look at the presidential campaign with politics monday right after the news summary. in the day's other news, the u.s. said progress is being made toward restoring a truce in syria. that came as the syrian military extended its own, unilateral cease-fire in some areas, including damascus. but violence continues to rage farther north in aleppo. u.s. secretary of state john kerry was in geneva today meeting with the u.n.'s envoy for syria. kerry expressed optimism, but stopped short of detailing truce proposals. >> we are working over these next hours intensely in order to try to restore the cessation of hostilities and at the same time to raise the level of accountability that will accompany the day-to-day process of implement

around, there's a lot more coal and cheaper coal in wyoming so those jobs are not coming back to appalachiaay they don't necessarily believe that but at this point they can't vote for hillary and at least he's offering hope. >> thanks for bringing that to us. from west virginia to north carolina, the bathroom law standoff now headed to the courts since the department of justice and the state's governor filed those dueling lawsuits monday. >> none of us can stand by when a state enters the business of legislating identity and insists that a person pretend to be something or someone that they are not. >> the attorney general there yesterday. so what now and what's next? tony dokoupil is in raleigh, north carolina, talking to people about the standoff. msnbc's chief legal correspondent, ari melber, is here. tony, let me start with you. what has been the reaction to what we saw go down yesterday. >> reporter: hey, craig, i'm in an 80-year-old restaurant not far from the state house. for years and years legislators have been coming here for coffee, for drinks, for lunch. you can see pictures of

was in athenston ohio, in kentucky as part of a tour through appalachia. john kasich, the only other candidate in this race. he says senator cruz should be proud of his strong and disciplined campaign. best wishes going forward. where does john kasich go looking at this as he moves to the primaries? me that ifseems to ted cruz had no path to victory, john kasich has no path to victory. it's curious as to why he is staying in. if anyone damage the reputation more than john kasich i don't of who that would be. a week ago the stories were about the delegates that lined up for john kasich. he was polling pretty well. he was in defeating donald trump in the polls but he was up 10 points. i think there was a good sense that he could compete here and do well in the state which is similar to his, it leans right but it is more mitch daniels republican state than a ted cruz republican state. when he pulled out when the campaign turned into indiana he frustrated moderates all over the state and disappointed a lot of them who were looking for the chance to cast their

she was in appalachia and she apologized for the comment she made in march when she essentially said she would put coal workers out of business. she said i'm sorry. i was wrong. you can forgive me. that's something we don't hear very often to make a blanket apology. we heard that tonight from hillary clinton. >> thank you so much. we will dig deep in the final push for votes. minutes from now, the 360 special, we got him. president obama, bin laden and the future of the war on terror. the raid five years ago and the drama has it unfolded. >> we came in here at the point where the helicopters were about to land. it's here where we observed, for example, that one of the helicopters got damaged in the landing. >> what were you thinking? i think we should've taken a tarzan know where tarzan go! tarzan does not know where tarzan go. hey, excuse me, do you know where the waterfall is? waterfall? no, me tarzan, king of jungle. why don't you want to just ask somebody? if you're a couple, you fight over directions. it's what you do. if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance

he went after hillary clinton with the focus on coal miners' jobs in appalachia. yesterday, clinton wrapped up a two day tour of the region where democrats have struggled in recent elections. clinton grappled with her comments from march when she said in part, quote, we're going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business. those words attracted protests at her stop there. and the day before in west virginia. >> here in ohio a few weeks ago during the ohio primary it sounded like i said something differently about coal miner jobs. to put it plainly i misspoke. it's one reason i took this trip to say it directly to the people affected, to make sure you know where i stand because i would never disrespect the people here. among the 100,000 miners who died in the last century, we have lost miners in this century too. 29 brave men who perished at the upper big branch mine. the owner of that mine, don blankenship had neglected workers' safety for years. we need to strengthen those laws and hold executives who neglect workers' health and safety to accou

we see it in the rural hills of appalachia.e have to break the mindset that says that that neighborhood over there, that is not my problem. those kids over there, they don't look like my kids exactly so i don't have to worry about them. out of sight, out of mind. we have to break that attitude that says, somehow, it is not -- somehow there is an us and them, but it is we, we are the american family, we have to look out for each other.
