ton lincoln had gone kentucky in late summer of 1841 , almost the minute he arrived back in kentucky with his friend, speed at that point suddenly and very dramatically fell in love with fanny and asked her to marry him. it only could happen for speed with lincoln at his side. thed later wrote to herndon following, in the summer of 1841 i became engaged to my wife. he, lincoln, was here on a visit when i courted her. strange to say, something of the same feeling which i regarded as so foolish and him took possession of me and kept me very unhappy from the time of my engagement until i was married. himself words, speed aboutpressed, anxious intimacy, anxious about love, -- he was not melancholy and oppressed in the weight lincoln was, but as soon as speed himself was engaged, he adopted the same foolishness that lincoln had adopted when he is becoming engaged to marry top. -- mary todd. about,s things to worry bad weather, getting busy, but the third is the rapid and near approach of that crisis on which all your thoughts and feelings concentrate, which is of course the imminent marri

that is why there is a speed art museum in kentucky. speed is a very prominent family and have remained that in kentucky. audience member: he makes two references to fanny's health, but then he says your religion you will prize most highly. what is that about? charles: fanny was very religious. speed with supercilious about religion and never took it very seriously. speed was not a deep thinker. lincoln was unchurched, but he was very spiritual. his speeches are littered with biblical references. there is a great book about this where there is not some speech were begin give where there is some reference to the old testament books as well as the new testament. lincoln was steeped in this biblical culture and totally absorbed and into it. he didn't like church, he had mocked ministers. he told stories in new salem about ministers. speed, when he got to the last couple years of his life got diabetes. the last six months he was in terrible pain and had to amputate a lake. he was in terrible suffering and he converted to christianity, his w

speed has left springfield because he is going back to kentucky to marry on february 15. the noun "consummation" in this context is interesting, to say the least. he says why i say it is reasonable that you will feel very badly yet are because of three special causes. i just want to say one thing i forgot to mention, the fact of handing him the letter gives the letter -- makes it a talisman, a magical thing that speed is supposed to carry with them and hold him. whenever he feels badly and feels depressed he can take a letter out and read it and presumably feel better. it is a further way of connecting the two men as they part and as speed goes off to marry in kentucky. lincoln talks about how he has a naturally nervous temperament. they talked about the technical term, hypochondriasis. lincoln shortened it to hypo, which he talked about in some of his letters as an affectionate term. basically it is depression. what he feels is that they are both depressed -- i have so many pieces of paper i can't find what i want to find. when they -- when lincoln had gone to kentucky i

i now live in western kentucky. call mining has stopped here in western kentucky because all they have is high sulfur coal. it doesn't have a third of the btus that low sulfur coal does that they have already mined out in eastern kentucky. my dad retired from coal mining. i had two brothers retire from the coal mine. brothers thathree worked in a coal mine, but they got out of coal mining and left and went to michigan to get work. you know, i love the coal miners, but coal is not good for the atmosphere. everybody knows it. look at china. you can't see in the daytime over there because of the pollution from the coal. and on the miners benefits, i'm glad they do it. i'm glad that the government is providing that, but you know, i had 20 years in a factory in michigan. shippedt it down and the business to foreign countries to manufacture their stuff cheaper. to helptepped forward me with my benefits. host: thanks for the call. congressman johnson? guest: he made a comment about coal not being good for the atmosphere. w

speed has gone back to his home in kentucky where he presided over a plantation. he and nick-- lincoln disagreed about slavery in lincoln wrote him a long letter and in the forefront of his thinking was the threat of the know nothings. i am not a know nothing. that is certain. how could i be, how can anyone who bores the oppression of negroes the in favor of degrading classes of white people? our progress and degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid as a nation we began by declaring all men are created equal. we now practically read that all men are created equal except negroes. with the know nothings get control it will read all men are created equal except negroes and foreigners and catholics. when it comes to this, i should prefer immigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty. to russia, for instance. [laughter] >> where despotism can be taken as you wore and without the alloy of hypocrisy. that lincoln could write. he could turn a phrase. state-by-state the new republican party was being organized and in illinois a group of anti-

in kentucky, under obamacare, 49% of our counties -- 49% have one insurer -- one. kentuckians in half of our counties have one choice, and really when you have one choice you have no choice at all. it's not like the situation is unique to my state either. this year there are 26 states with at least one county where residents have only a single insurance option under obamacare. that means millions of americans living in more than 1,000 counties across the country really have no choice at all -- no choice at all -- when it comes to obamacare. those families didn't get the increased choices they were promised under that law. they've been left to shoulder the burden nonetheless, and things have only gotten worse over time. in fact, just this week people on the obamacare exchanges in three more states, vermont, virginia, and oregon learned they could face double-dinlt premium in -- double digit premium increases as high as 20% next year. i ask our democratic friends, are you really okay with obamacare's continuing attacks on the middle class? one constituent from lexing

with pre-existing conditions in kentucky. and i would like to yield a inute and a half to mr. green. mr. green: it's appalling what is happening today on the house floor. it appears to be let's just pass a bill no matter what it does or who gets hurt with it. trumpcare is nothing more than broken promises and would mean higher health care costs for 24 million americans. key protections are gutted. older americans are hung out to dry. the end of medicaid and cuts in medicare. if trumpcare passes, americans with pre-existing conditions could be pushed off their insurance and sent into high risk pools that are not affordable. high risk insurance pools do not work when e in the pool is a high risk. and i was a state legislator when we did that. you have to share the wealth. people will be left with higher costs. frightening future for americans who need dependable health care. there is an irresponsible reason why this vote is being rammed without even a congressional budget office estimate or opportunity for members to know what'

tonight gary tuckman returns to kentucky to talk to voters who helped put president trump in office.ion is are they losing faith or standing by their man? >> wesley easter lg and his 2-yield daughter live in elliot county, kentucky. >> i voted for donald trump. >> which is note worthy because it's the first republican candidate he has ever voted for. there have been 37 presidential elections since 1869. remarkably in this county the democratic candidate has won every one of those elections until this one. and donald trump won big here, getting 70% of the vote, many people like wesley easterly believing -- >> he had a lot of amazing ideas. he just had this charisma about him, something different. >> the poverty rate is over 34% and has one of the highest percentages of the people in the nation who rely on federal benefit wesley easterling is one of them. he and his family have benefited from medicaid and food stamps. during the presidential campaign, he took candidate trump at his word. >> save medicare, medicaid and social security without cuts. have to do it. >> when he said that he

that they have already mined out in eastern kentucky. and my dad retired from the coal mine. i had two brothers retire from the coal mine. and i had two or three brothers that worked in the coal mine but they got out of the coal mine and left and went to michigan to get work. and coal, you know -- i love the coal miners and that but coal is not good for the atmosphere and everybody knows it. look at china. you can't see in the daytime over there because of the pollution from the coal. and on the miners benefits, i'm glad they do it. i'm glad that they -- the government is providing that. but you know, i had 20 years in a factory in michigan and they shut it down, shipped the business to foreign countries to manufacture their stuff cheaper. and no didn't somebody step forward to help me with my benefits. >> thank you for the call. congressman johnson? >> he made a comment about coal not being good for the atmosphere. we have come a long, long way, a long way, some of the cleanest coal fired power plants in the world are right here along t

how many coal miners today are looking for work in kentucky? >> we have several thousand coal miners who have lost their jobs in the downturn of the coal economy so any project that promises opportunity for them and them to learn next generation skills is important. soledad: so how does the retraining workers work? >> the coal miners are the most skilled workers in the world. these are folks who are outstanding electricians, work in difficult circumstances, they show up to work every day. they already have that base of technical knowledge that we will need to translate into the solar industry. there will some training. but that training we think would take weeks, not months. soledad: president trump has proposed a half a billion dollar cut to research in clean energy, he said and i will quote him. he think this area is a quote a big mistake and a quote bad investment. what do you make of his position? >> i would disagree. i think diversifying the economy in appalachia is important and we want to do what we can to help industries that have been
