but let's not forget about, about our americans in appalachia.rlie, and of course, one of the things that's so frustrating and enraging about this is the fact that so many of the problems here, you know, obviously wildfires are a part of california, it's a part of wildfire, you know, everywhere in the country experiences wild first. but what's so frustrating here is that the level of incompetence and all of the things that people failed to do or, you know, didn't take seriously that allowed this to get so far out of hand. this is not the way it's supposed to may out. will: and, charlie, the list on that that is long from. a mayor of los angeles who's in africa for the inauguration of the president of ghana, to the santa the ynez reservoir being run dry for a year leading into this, to the fire hydrants not pumping water. this is the california statehouse speaker talking about calling into session right now a special session to focus on trump-proofing california. watch. >> i'm, you know, i'm here to address this, this, you know, these, these wildf

people in ap appalachia. look, fema has to do it better and they've got to be faster. good to see you. thank you for the reporting. we appreciate it, william. attorney brian claypoole lives e that claimed the lives of five people that we know of. l.a. and city county officials told us they sent a special team looking for victims, and doing the victims research and that number could change, and brian was forced to evacuate his home in pasadena, and brian, really, your area is coming into clarity now for how much you've been through. >> yeah, harris, i have to tell you after seeing that press conference, i am flat out heartbroken and outraged. we are sick and tired in l.a. county of having liberal political leadership play russian roulette with all of our lives. look at that -- look at these images. this was preventable, harris. i'm not saying it could have been stopped. but i looked on the news three days ago. i have a teenage daughter. you know i'm an single parent. i have a 9-month-old, as well, with a nanny holed up in a hotel. three days ago, we see on the news, the

we have a question here that's specific to the region of appalachia. but i think that this could also apply to some other places in the country. and that is is there a push to increase small business startups in appalachia to try to give hope to youth who may otherwise be drawn to drugs/opioid abuse? ms. mcmahon: well, we don't have a program that i'm aware of that is specifically focused on appalachia. however, we do have our 68 district offices around the country. so the outreach from those offices, you know, hopefully is into areas where we do have underserved communities. and that's why all of these resource partners that i keep referencing are so important. because they can give guidance and they can show sometimes -- you know stiernlings just needs a little -- sometimes somebody just needs a little wind beneath their wings. they just need a little bit of that support system. and when they get that they can flawrish. and so -- flourish. so i think the education that's necessary in underserved communities, as wellals the support system is vital --

more appalachia than atlanta. those values came up. myself, my brother, my mom worked with senior adults. it was interesting to me. a lot of people have the backgrounds where you didn't know what you didn't have. that was our background and my dad who is still alive by the way and he's a state trooper for over 30 years, when he retired he had unused sick leave. he went to work every day. as i was growing up, we went to north georgia college, thought i was going to law school, thought it was going to politician, the lawyer and that was back in the time, the show la law. i was getting ready at that point a little bit later getting ready and lisa and i had been married for 33 years. started a journey. coming from a state trooper's kid and when we didn't have a lot. we went on vacation, we went to the state parks because we got discount because that's where we went. for me it was growing up with books, growing up with radio, that's how i sort of saw the world never thinking that i might be for able to sit in congress. it was for us, you ar

patton, who worked alongside former president carter to build homes for habitat for humanity in appalachia in 1997. governor, thank you so much for joining us on the phone here. you were the governor of kentucky in 97 when former president carter, he made a trip there for a project called hammering in the hills. it was a really ambitious project to build over 50 homes in eastern kentucky and a part of tennessee in just one week. can you tell me about some memories you have, or what you remember the most about the president that week? >> well, i remember that he was i had met the president several times before, and it was a normal political atmosphere, but he was all business there. he was. he was not preening for cameras or anything like that. he was just working. and he, uh, had a lot of other people working. and that precipitated that increased our, uh. participation in habitat for humanity's dramatically in kentucky. we're i think we're the ninth leading state as far as building homes. that's still that's, you know, until about 20 years ago or so yeah. so, uh, go ahead. >> yeah. i wonde

he beat everybody from the last administration down to appear -- appalachia and -- let's watch and listen to the introduction. they are introducing everybody there. mark meredith. thank you. >> president trump: but if you have davos. this has been a historic week in the united states. three days ago i took the oath of office and we began to golden age of america. the recent presidential election was won by millions of votes and all seven, every one of them, all seven swing states. it was a massive mandate from the american people like hasn't been seen in many years. and some of the political pundits, even some of my so-called enemies said it was the most consequential election victory in 129 years. that's quite nice. what the world witnessed in 72 hours is a revolution of common sense. our country will soon be stronger, wealthier and more united than ever before and the entire planet will be more peaceful and prosperous as a result of this incredible momentum and what we are doing and going to do. my administration is acting with unprecedented speed to fix the disasters we've been inheris

that is african americans, very poor caucasians in places like appalachia, and native americans.ead start has an early head start component. you can walk into this country pregnant and enroll in early head start keep your child in there until age five. we can debate whether we want to do that or not but we have to stop exploiting employees who work for head start with greedy community action programs. thank you. host: debbie is on the line for republicans. good morning. caller: good morning. i would like to say i have a complaint, not about you, but they are cutting into the open forum a lot with all of the news and stuff that we get throughout the morning. you are good about it and john is good about it, allowing the people to talk. i would just like to say about corn, january 6 was a mostly peaceful protest. the capitol police were guiding them through the building and opened the doors for them, the protesters. there is only a small feces accident. it was not like it was all over. there were some antifa people there and they are in prison now. so, that is a lie. as for joe bide

we have a question you that specific to the region of appalachia, but i think that this could also applyto some of the places in the country. is there a push to increase small business startups in appellation to try to give hope to youth who may otherwise be drawn to drugs or opioid abuse? >> we don't have a program i'm aware of that specifically focused on appellation. however, we do have our 60th district offices around the country. so the outreach the most offices hopefully is in areas where we do have underserved communities. that's why all of these resource partners attic keep referencing are so important, because they can give guidance and they can show, sometimes somebody just need a little wind beneath their wings. they just need a little bit of that support system. and when they get that, they can flourish. the education that's necessary in underserved communities as well as the support system is vital for that growth. >> absolutely. i have a question here about farmers specifically. farmers and ranchers are facing a a tough farm economy with bankruptcies on the rise. the house

just because they're here in appalachia doesn't mean they don't deserve it.y deserve it just as much as anybody else. >> my first position was a part time custodian in the district. >> the superintendent is still doing multiple jobs, taking on paying invoices and answering the district's phones just so he can save money on administrative help and send more money to his classrooms. >> i don't think that anyone in our county wants to cut our school funding. i don't i don't think that anyone voted for that. >> do you mind if i ask who you voted for in the election? >> i voted for donald trump and i voted against amendment two. >> amendment two, so-called school choice would have allowed kentucky tax dollars to go to nonpublic schools, but it failed overwhelmingly in kentucky. even though president trump supports the policy, the education of our students is is the most important thing to me that that's my job. >> i don't think that either my votes will will harm our students overall. have a good day. >> i love you. >> jessica winkler, mom of three in the school d

. >> region, including tennessee, the people of appalachia. >> are grateful. that you are here. >> and that you haven't forgotten them, and. >> that there are other disasters. >> but this one was enormous for both north carolina and tennessee. >> so thank you. >> you know, i've seen a lot of disasters. and this when i came, i came here right after the day after. and when i came here, i couldn't believe it. actually, i couldn't believe the damage. and i've seen a lot of them. this was, uh, this was more like a tornado than it was what we witnessed. so we're going to get it very much, very much taken care of. good job. that's nice that you came. and so you called it, right? you're right over the ridge. right? tennessee. i like tennessee, too. let's see, where did i get more votes? tennessee or north carolina? i hate i hate to tell you, north carolina, it was tennessee. >> there's one of the counties in this disaster that had. >> 88% for you. >> so 88%. yeah, it's the people are just incredible people. yeah. so do you have any questions? >> press yes. mr. preside

son of appalachia. you've read the book or seen the movie or heard him talk about it. step foot into the oval office. really big deal. the other thing that struck me here is the fact that mike johnson is there behind the scenes filming the video, and i feel like we've seen so many scenes of mike johnson just kind of like popping up in random things, like the awkward guy in the photo. and what i've been hearing from trump world is that mike johnson, right now, the speaker is in kind of maga rehab. trump likes him, trump trusts him, and there's nobody else that really can or wants to do this job from trump's view. so he wants to get the base on board with johnson. and so he's kind of trying to bring him into the fold as much as he can. >> yeah. it also speaks to just how quickly j.d. vance's political career has happened. i mean, he was new to the senate in 2022. now, of course, he is the vice president of the united states. dasha burns, great to have you and your reporting. thank you for that tonight. thank you all so much for joining us. cnn news night with abby philli
