you know i mentioned in the set up that president obama actually won north carolina. how how is it that in a state the president won. so much. radical right wing legislation has so sex so successfully passed what's going on oh yes there is the really interesting moment so i think obama's election when north carolina swung for him that really reawakened the old guard in north carolina and it got these tea partiers stirred up because they really looked around and saw that their way of life and the way they wanted things to be in north carolina was slipping away and the future did not belong to them so the only way they could hold on was by gerrymandering the state working to suppress voter rights in the most vicious and vitriolic way north carolina used to have some of the best and most generous voting rights laws in the country but that has gotten rolled back in the last couple of years so the the old guard sort of woke up and they are furiously holding onto their turf and they have really turned against women and minorities and poor people and the elderly and students

before in south carolina. but he lived until 1915 long enough to see the rise of jim crow and the emergence of segregated schools, underfunded schools, and of course the loss of the voting rights for people like himself. in a lecture to the congress he estimated that 53,000 -- 53,000 people like octavius, teachers, blackpool workers, registrars were murdered during the years of reconstruction. what you see in this book is the civil war being continued by other means and that is a number that americans don't know about and need to hear about. every american has and should of course hear about the battle of gettysburg. the casualties are atrocious. they are killed and wounded the 51,000. again he argues that 53,000 people die in the war of reconstruction. they die trying to fulfill the promise abraham lincoln made at gettysburg where he said americans made this promise we would be a country of liberty and freedom and equality and for that long americans failed to achieve that. octavius dies trying to make americ

in south carolina history.well, when the war breaks out, again, the state a 61% black. it's like south africa appeared controlled by a tiny white minority. all of a sudden it is the majority that has the right to vote and run for office. it is in fact prior to 1965 when blacks again can vote and women can vote. the most progressive moment. in south carolina history. in the 1870s, three of the four congressman from south carolina, they are people of color. finally, says south carolina has a congressional delegation that looks like the rest of the state, that resembles the rest of the state. some modern critics think that these farmers face were not ready for political rights, not ready for political responsibility. the person i replaced the majestic college in upstate new york is to tell his class unwanted blacks are not yet ready for voting rights. as one former slave in this book says, it is true i've got no book warning, but i know justice when i see it. he knows who's on the right side and who is on the wron

south carolina, 1860, it's fitting that 10 years to the day south carolina sends african-americans to the national congress. this is joseph rainey, a former slave who served nine years, leaves office in 1879. born a slave. he was of mixed race. his father was white. his father was not his master so his father bought him before the war, freed him. so when the war ends, he helps to write the state constitution and south carolina. runs for local office and finally runs the national office and continued after the war begins, he is representing the state of john c. calhoun in the nation's capital. that same year on the first center of color, hiram revels. from mississippi. he was born free. it never been a slave. is born free in a collaborative of the south, gone to college, educate as a minister. he becomes a chaplain during the war. is also a veteran. he takes the seat formerly occupied by the previous vendor from mississippi, jefferson davis. davis had quit his seat in the spring of 61 with south carolina secede. and for 10 years the seat was empty. eichin, this is just astonishing how

all over north carolina. since pat mccrory has been governor, environmental groups sued to try to gtake these safe. in both instances these lagoons of toxic stuff that duke was maintaini ining at these sites, those lagoons of coal ash were contaminating the groundwater. under the clean water act, you can't contaminate the groundwater. people can sue you if you do. both of the cases, though, mccrory stepped in and blocked the lawsuit. even though those kinds of suits worked in other places, like duke energy, to clean up sites like that, in north carolina pat mccrory's administration stopped the suits. they stepped in. they used their prerogative as the state to step in and replace the plaintiffs in those cases. and instead, they, as the state, negotiated a settlement in private with the company. the state's proposed settlement for contaminating the groundwater in asheville and contaminating the ground swwaten charlotte is duke would have to study the issue of how they were contaminating the groundwater in plac

luckily for north carolina, the smart local press in north carolina knows that, too. look at this. wral asked the agency, mr. skvarla's agency for a citation or source for the alleged concerns about environmental risks of cleaning up and moving these coal ash ponds. the agency was unable to provide any citation. a renowned national expert on coal ash ponds at duke university says that's because there isn't one. dr. avner vengosh of duke university published multiple studies on coal ash skills and contamination. told about the comments, the scientist tells wral, there's no published study that casts any doubt on whether moving coal ash out of leaky landfills is the best move for the environment. the exact quote from the scientist is this. "what are they talking about? of course not. can there's evidence of groundwater contamination and surface water contamination at the coal ash pond, then leaving it as is obviously isn't an option if the environment is something you care about. you don't need to be joe chemist to figure that out." but what if you're jerome corsi trying to figure th

carolina and georgia.he last time they saw a storm like this was back in 2000 when we had about half a million people lose power in an ice storm. alabama. of snow in you don't see snow there very often. storm do you compare this and the many snowstorms we have had already while in the west they're still continuing massive drought? >> remarkable thing about this storm is it occurs at the tail end of a very long period of intense winter we have seen over the eastern u.s., but at the same time, the western u.s. has been struggling with record drought an all-time high temperatures in january. the weather has been in this schizoid mode where it is usually cold and the eastern half of the u.s. and unusually warm in the western half. >> what is causing this, since it is one major ice storm? >> you can always look at the jetstream to try and look at what the weather is doing. the jetstream acts as the boundary between warm air to the south and cold air to the north. right now that jet is very far to the south over

we're showing you live pictures coming in charlotte, north carolina, greenville, south carolina, youee some traffic on the roads. not a whole lot. most people are heeding the advice of authorities, stay inside. if you're home, stay at home, if you're at work, stay at work. don't get on the roads right now, potentially very dangerous. i spoke with the north carolina governor pat mccrory just a little while ago. we spoke about the crisis playing out on the state's roads and highways. >> we want them to stay in their car, don't abandon their car unless there are certain elements requiring them to get out in very, very cold weather. we've got a system that we've set up where we can come rescue those individuals in their cars. that's our incentive at this point in time, help the people get out of their car, then unblock the traffic. the problem is once they abandon their car, they block all the traffic including the emergency operation vehicles and they're putting other people at risk on these major highways and thoroughfares. >> i spoke to two young women who did abandon their cars on th

it's headed to the carolinas, to you guys. there is gridlock in the carolinas. people perhaps weren't expecting such intensity. the situation is fluid, but people are in their houses. >> what do you say to those who actually thought. we had a guest on the program who thought there was a bit of overreaction going on that officials were going too far out of their way to warn people. >> reporter: i would say no way. this is not an overreaction. these roads are completely dangerous. walk with me for a second. i want to show you something. we'll walk through this little pocket this is where we're pocked. you can see our satellite truck right here. anyone who thinks this ice situation is not serious and it's not getting worse, i want to show you some of the trees. that is one of the biggest problems right now, the ice is getting on the huge pine trees in atlanta, and trees are snapping, causing massive power outages, over 200,000 power outages alone. this stuff is just snapping, look at this--the holly bush, the ice, you can see this as well. here is a car. look at th

take a look, we still have ice warnings for much of southern georgia into the carolinas. and then as you move to the north we'll see more winter storm warnings and watches and advisories all up the 95 corridor all the way up into northern maine. and looking at the radar you can start to see there is snow now changing on the west side of atlanta. the ice will make its way into parts of the carolinas, all the way up into virginia and maine have snow up there. high pressure bringing in northeasterly winds with cold air filtering down. the problem is we have nowhere for the cold air to go. it slams up into the mountains so as the rain falls it freezes and that cold air traps it as the levels of atmosphere start to freeze up. we see the rain freeze and it changes to snow. so ice levels continue up to an inch of ice from augusta to columbia, all the way up into raleigh and up into southern and central parts of virginia. and as this system makes its way up into the coast this is the 32-degree line, you can see the rain and snow making its way west of i-95. as the snow deepens th

this macro stuff that we've been talking about more micro ways been played out in north carolina in a big way mark north carolina in the last few decades since the sixty's anyway has been largely considered a fairly progressive state and you know it's been taken over by art pope you know this multimillionaire and his republican buddies and he's now the the budget director and in response to that a whole bunch of folks got together and they started doing these moral monday things and this last saturday eighty thousand people from thirty two states this is the largest movement the largest march in the south since one thousand nine hundred sixty five. eighty thousand tea partiers and showed up anywhere i mean you know glenn beck didn't get that many people on the national mall and it got wall to wall coverage for a week on all five networks i mean if if eighty thousand people showed up anywhere for a tea party event it would have been wall to wall i didn't see this on any of that i'd say that's not a comparison but i mean look at the march for life you had hundreds of thousands of people

that's the latest headache for eden, north carolina.ipe spilled tens of thousands of tons of coal ash into the river. the pipes belong to duke energy where north carolina's governor worked for 28 years before he went to politics. federal prosecutors had sent a subpoena to north carolina's environmental agency. testimony from the state about duke's coal ash spill into the dan river. the u.s. attorney's office described the subpoena as part of an official criminal investigation of a suspected felony. that subpoena landed on february 10th, last week, now, tonight we have news of a fresh round of federal grand jury subpoenas for the governor pat mccrory investigation in north carolina. they sent north carolina regulators a new and broader demand for documents, the new subpoena is seeking information about every duke energy coal ash dump in the state. more than 30 of them across 14 dinner sites across north carolina. specifically they want to know about a settlement that the mccrory administration proposed and then backed out of with duke en

mccrory has called for a committee to look at what to do with coal ash in north carolina.dministration and duke energy both pledge a full clean up of the spill, environment theists like general i edwards are frustrated. >> i saw ducks swimming in coal ashmeadely after the spill. i saw a balanced eagle flying over a river of dole ash. so that balanced eagle is relying on fish in the river for its sus at that nexts and the fish in the river are relying on the macro invertebrates or now either suffocating or dieing and certainly bayinging in a toxic bath. >> reporter: a criminal information is also under way. stateen and sraoeurpltal officials and leaders are duke energy have already been subpoenaed to appear next month. robert ray, eden north carolina. >>> ice jams are sending flood waters in to towns in eerie county, iowa, the overflowing river has flooded several times and it's an off shoot of lake erie which is one of the great lake, it was practically flows n over last week. rescuers had to use boats to help people escape. >>> unfortunately most of the united states, the
