but the poor people's campaign is saying, whether it's people from appalachia, alabama, massachusettsr mississippi, that we cannot have a country where we have 140 million people living in poverty. i worked 60.9% of black people, 30% of white people. that is 66 million white people i could go out the numbers 52% of our children 43% of adults. when we are the wealthiest nation in the country if we just raged the minimum wage to living wage it into my people rise up out of poverty front-line people we've got 87 million people either uninsured or underinsured. all this creates a level of depth seven her people are dying a day from property before the pandemic a quarter million people year. the pandemic exposed fissures of poverty. we put essential workers on the front line but we treated them like they were expendable. our campaign is saying let's get a real count of what poverty really is in this country and let's stop the lies about scarcity. let's have the wealthy pay their feige fair share. billions made of $2 trillion in the pandemic 8 million more people fell into poverty. most of

the local color writing presented appalachia as a sort of quirky and quaint peoples. but 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, are 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 them out and people as dangerous and threatening if they stand in the way of progress. oh no, no, no, 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. hey, john leo, for the male thing. in deliverance. there is this horrifying right now, if you hear that leg on the banjo, it brings up this image of right ah, in deliverance, there i

be over $23 this winter during that same period of time, we'll be selling that same gas here in appalachia for a price of $7. the only wayyou can explain those extreme price differences is lack of pipeline infrastructure, but if we can get this pipeline infrastructure put in place, we can do some really amazing things. america has tremendous potential in lowering prices for americans here while also providing energy security to the world. >> well, do you see anything on the horizon that might shift the opposition that environmentalists and state regulators have to having pipelines in their backyard? is there new technology in terms of transferring natural gas that might calm some of these fears >> there is a new perspective that is changing, and people need to understand that the biggest source of emissions around the world is -- comes from foreign coal, and we have the opportunity here in the united states to leverage our american resources, unleash u.s. lng on the world stage, and use natural gas to replace foreign coal and if we can do that, it will actually be the biggest green initiat

parallels from my own life from growing up in the d industrialized north of england, which is just like appalachia or the old american rust belt from seeing these twists and terms in russian modern development. seeing the rise of vladimir putin as a populist president and then seeing the similar developments here. i thought about aware that i could put it all together and respond to some of the letters where people have said, how did we get here? so that was how i got to writing the book. congress chef well, you want me to repeat the question. i was just wondering if maybe if i held it with it. would that be better? okay. i have a lot of experience with malfunctioning microphones over the years mr. mayor. thank you so much for moderating today. and thank you all for coming and we apologize for the heat. it was the mayor's doing and we we tried to warn him last night, but he wouldn't wouldn't listen to us. but what a great honor to be on the stage with dr. hill, she absolutely brilliant? dr. hill inform me last night that some time ago on social media. they had taken to her head and put it on my wi

some illusions are deeply embedded in the location where they are maybe the appalachia or something like that. that is not the case with this group. this group spawned of the internet, far-right, post charlottesville. that group is all over the place in the united states. they organize in the same spaces online. these are not particularly hard to infiltrate. if you say you want to be a part of this thing, they will let you in. that has been their downfall so far. >> according to police, here is what they found. firearms, ban may, edge weapons, even a smoke grenade. all of these things legally acquired by the members of this group? >> a don't think we know yet, to be honest with you. this group is a violent group. it is based in violence. that is their plan. what we have seen recently by the way on the far-right is this obsession with trans people in the lgbtq movement. you have seen them, the proud boys as well, targeting things like drag queens story hours, things like that. i want to say, today is the six year anniversary of the pulse nightclub shooting. this is only going to ratchet u

i think back to bobby kennedy in 1968, who would go out and deliver the same message in appalachia as he did in inner cities, speaking to, sort of, the disaffected in both. why can't we do that today? >> i like to think i do it. >> wondrous that tell? us how, mayor. tell us how. >> well, my mom always said you only have to tell the truth once. and i, i found it far easier to be consistent because it really is hard to keep up with a lie. and my vantage point was a very different, because i wasn't mayor in a state controlled by the republican party. so it did not prove me not to get along and to work well with our republican leaders. i remember having a meeting with a leader i'll tell you when we leave our tour it was -- [laughter] we had a great meeting. and he said you'd better not walk out of here and tweet and say we had a good meeting. and i thought, gosh, if only we could say that we had a good meeting. and as i look at david perdue and governor kemp, i think, if i were to ever publicly -- is this public? considered public? -- if i were to ever publicly speak about how well we wor

but walmart became a crucial element in why particularly in certain areas, appalachia, rust belt areas, why you saw the spread of the opioid epidemic so quickly, because it was lubricated so quickly by all the shoplifting that goes on. walmart has not done enough, maybe be doing more now, but has not done enough to put a lid on. -- guest: i'm a retired law professor. before i was a lawyer -- i will be 70 in a few months. i did a couple of studies on heroin users and a couple of articles, i just wanted to say for you and for folks and get your comment on what do we do now type of thing? i have a study that i wrote with david musto at yale. it's a follow-up study from a clinic from 1920 and it was published in the new england journal of medicine, april 30, 1981. soon after that, the new york times did an editorial on it called an old way to help addicts about the morphine maintenance clinics. they were all over the country. this was a way where addicts were not stigmatized. they were allowed to buy their morphine, so naturally, the police and police stations, this has existed up into the

i spent a lot of time in appalachia.identally, one of the hardest communities hit by the impact of climate change. they're resistant. 1.7 million jobs in that industry and related industries, and even though they are open to regulation, they want some, you know, some regulation to cap emissions at these power plants, that brings in jobs as well, there was real concern the generation shifting requiring these companies to move toward solar and wind was really a bridge too far, and we saw the court today agree with that, whit. >> thanks. let's bring in kate shaw, once again, our legal analyst and abc news contributor. one of the things we have been hearing about as it comes to climate change and the supreme court here, is the major questions role here which says congress must speak clearly if it's going to give broad powers to a specific agency. so beyond climate change and the epa and what the epa can and can't do now, what are the broader impacts here? >> well, whit, this doctrine is not something that's written explicitl
