>> west virginia governor, jim justice gave his second state address outlining several things. and an increase in the tourism budget. this is a portion of the speech. >> only briefly so i want to belabor the past with you. i don't know which is which will unveil the one i'm gonna stay back here. >> let me tell you, when i got here this is what we're facing, like it or not, when i got here is in the middle of the 1617 year are really yes -- you're supposed to have a balanced budget but it look like because of severance and everything kept running away from us to look like things could be more dire and we could have a $200 million hole in the bucket. the next year, my first full year, 497 million in the hole. here's after that going up to 722 million. i said minutes ago, just imagine the miracle this is happened. it's not sitting here, the miracle that is happened is you. the people at home, the miracle that is happen teach one is just this. there is really unfair to think what i wanted to do is just minutes a let's just raise taxes that's lasting on earth i wanted to do. i didn'

this is davie west virginia. when i saw this picture which is a government photograph of the 1930s i said what is a picture of nevada doing in a collection having to do with west virginia. it's not nevada. you're looking at a completely deforested landscape. it's like the lorax. when the [inaudible] cuts the last three this is what this is. there was no trees left to cut. it almost defies, in almost defies explanation. this was a densely forested place and this was happening people of the mountains took jobs anticipated in the liquidation itself. why did they do that? remember when i said they left money? here's the thing. you can be an agrarian and you can live in a subsistence household without money but it's hard in mean. money connects you to a transactional realm of things far away, cool stuff, dishes george washington's picture on them. pools that you cannot buy. dresses made in boston. the people in the mountains for consumers of consumer goods and they wanted these things. money allows you to do that. how

the train was on its way to a retreat where garrett is in west virginia. is accident seems to have happened in charlottesville, virginia. we're just trying to get numbers. they're headed for where garrett is. we're trying to get numbers. it's an amtrak train but not a passenger train. it has been chartered for the use of members of congress and senators to go out to this retreat should they wish to travel together and head out there. not everybody is there. some members of congress had other work to do. chris collins had to be in new york with his constituency. casey hunt is on the way to the location of the crash to sort of get firsthand information on it. what you're looking at on the left is a picture that was sent in by somebody there showing this trash truck. sort of hard to make it out but that is the trash truck that was apparently hit by the amtrak train. it appears if you look at the right side that picture is being taken from possibly inside the train and obviously it's a trash truck. not easy to see the extent of the damages are. curbelo said he

we got to put somebody on it, and i am going to put west virginia state, marshall university in west virginia university working this and bringing us real ideas as to what we can do. i will be able to tell them very quickly, there was no way on this planet that will work. or i will be able to tell them, yes, that is the real deal. now, we cannot possibly not talk about china. you talk about an 800 pound gorilla in the room, not me. [laughter] is thestice: but china possibility beyond all of our possible dreams. it could really happen. and the reason it could probably happen is two things. cards if wee trump have any to trump cards. president trump genuinely wants a trade -- wants the trade imbalance with china to change. if president trump is putting his first foot forward and saying that a big part of the changes happening in west virginia. president trump and i are friends, and president trump doesn't want me calling him, saying, donald, why is this happening? do i believe that there will be $83 billion come rolling into west virginia? but ild very well happen, cannot comprehend $83

they need the epa or the state of west virginia, to try to cover this up. but it is not going to be covered up because i'm going to bring it out in the open for people to see. amy: that video shot by the farmer wilbur tennant on his property in parkersburg, west virginia, after he sold part of the land to dupont for a landfill. a year later, he felt what happened to his cows. >> you can see she has hemorrhaged out the nose. disease this hemmoring are what everyone a collar, but this cow died with an extremely high fever. you see the discoloration in the hair on her neck. this is 153 of these animals that i have lost on this farm. dr.he state but nearing thomas won't come up you to do anything about it. every vet mary and i have called in parkersburg will not by phone calls are don't want to get involved. since they don't to get involved, i'll have to dissect this thing myself. the head.to start at one of the things i noticed right off is the desk -- this coloration of the jaw teeth. here is his tongue. i don't know with those little red spots are on the bot

retreat in west virginia.are told that there are minor injuries, just some bumps and bruises and whatnot on the train for the most part. the worst of the injuries that we are hearing happened to a driver of a dump truck that apparently was on the tracks when this train was coming in. we have got congressman mark walker on the phone with us now. and apparently was on the train at the time. can you talk with us now? >> yes, i can. i am currently on the

retreat in west virginia.e'll continue to try to check in with the members of congress who are on the train. they do have many of them cell phones and their aides do as well. we know that there are a number of families with small children. even a member of the fox family rachel campos duffy and her husband congressman sean duffy on board with eight of their children. and everybody is safe at this point according to rachel but really traumatized by what they have seen and experienced. and she was the first person to tell us, rachel campos duffy about the push against the doors to try to get the doctors who serve in congress outside of that train and onto the ground to help those people who had been hurt in the dump truck that the train hit on the tracks. if you were just joining us, let's do a quick reset now of what has happened. because there are more facts to collect and we want to fold those in. so it's been about two and a half hours now by my count that a train traveling upwards of 70 miles per hour accor

we'll be back with west virginia we'll be back with west virginia democrat joe manchin. stay with us. that was it. now i have nicoderm cq. the nicoderm cq patch with unique extended release technology helps prevent your urge to smoke all day. it's the best thing that ever happened to me. every great why needs a great how. for 100 years, heritage and innovation have made gillette the #1 shave in america. now get gillette quality at lower prices -- every day. brought to you by 1200 workers in boston -- we're proud of giving you our best. gillette. the best a man can get. >> dickerson: we're back with joe manchin who joins us from charleston, west virginia. thank you, senator. where do you think things are -- on this negotiation over daca and the dreamers? >> i'm encouraged. first of all we have a bipartisan recommendation, bipartisan legislation that's been worked out after they set down last week with the president. and it seems to do everything that was asked of them. i would be very, very encouraged, hopefully all my colleagues will look at this in a center positive way

this is happening west of charlottesville, west virginia. neil: we're getting tweets from people on the train, don bacon of nebraska and bradley burn of alabama. they tweeted they were okay and many colleagues were okay but people were shaken up, i suppose that would be an understatement here. speed was not an issue. this appeared to be a truck stuck on the tracks. way too early to tell. chad pergram, our capitol hill producer what can you tell us? >> what we're hearing the train derailed, at least the locomotive the frond end car. members were thrown from the seats to the floor, the deck of the train. you think about you have entire congressional leadership on the republican side going in for this event at the greenbrier. this was to be the republican retreat. sometimes they take buses. that is the way they get to the retreats. they have done them in baltimore and philadelphia in years past, neil. we think injuries to members of congress are minor. we're told the condition of the truck driver seems to be the problem. that is the biggest iss

you know west virginia is doing fantastically now which raised the question is west virginia doing fantasticallyhich is exactly why i went there to try and see. >> reporter: in west virginia they measure progress by the number of coal trains. coal production is up 31% according to the state chamber of commerce, a welcome change after 2016 saw the state's lowest coal production in decades. >> i left as soon as i graduated. >> reporter: a year ago he had been laid off four times in 12 months. >> now it's booming. >> working full time. >> as much work as you can want or handle. >> yes cht. >> reporter: there are more mining related jobs than qualified people to fill them at least according to the president of the west virginia coal association. he came to west virginia four months ago. west virginia you hear is hiring miners or at least there is opportunity for you. >> there is a lot of things in the works to where there is a lot of jobs opening up. >> reporter: james got a mining job in less than a week. in 2016 in the town of welch things were so bad even the wal-mart closed. today small business

as you can see, they were heading to west virginia to go to the greenbrier.lling cnn this is unclear how many members were traveling on this train, but there were injuries. that's what we've been told. sources said that members, quote, hit the deck. a gop aide just texted cnn jeremy diamond. he said the train carrying members of congress to the gop to west virginia was in an accident. apparently the train hit the truck. small injuries reported. that's the text. small injuries reported. this train was en route to the greenbrier. fill us in. what do we know? >> reporter: brianna, that's essentially what we know right now is that this was a train carrying a group of republican congressmen to this retreat in west virginia. they left union station this morning. they were taking a train to greenbrier west virginia where this retreat is taking place. unclear exactly where the accident happened as of yet but what is clear is that according to this republican aide whose congressman is actually on this train and was speaking with him on the phone, the train reportedly

talk there. >> west virginia talk.ery quickly, i have to get your reaction to this to the joe manchin interview. you had a very stinging reaction. >> it was a very strange moment where you were asking pretty basic questions about his opinions and he was being elusive saying it was new york talk. the fundamental question about the issues around the presidency. i think that democrats particularly but all members of congress and the elected leaders in this country need to have some coverage and some backbone and it felt to me that was a typical moment of -- >> you cover a lot of joe manchin. >> i did, yeah. i do. i talk to him regularly and know him fairly well. do you want a democrat to hold a seat in west virginia or not? joe manchin is the only one in town. he knows that. his state voted for president trump more than any other state in this country. what else will he say to you? >> i'm going to pause it there. we have some immigration issues. i promise we'll come to that. >>> president trump and his allies launched an

certainly west virginia is a state that understands this. there have been no more vigorous advocate for funding and new ways to solve this problem than senator capito. and i'm glad to be here with her today as we talk about this. but i can assure the people we work for that this is a top priority. it's been a top priority for over three years now. the first two years showed dramatic increases in the willingness that we have to deal with this and the breadth of how we deal with it. that's one reason, mr. president, we need to move on and get this funding bill that should have been done by october 1, done right now. as we get a new number to deal with, one of our priorities will clearly be the opioid epidemic, and one of the leaders in that discussion will clearly be the senator from west virginia, senator capito. mrs. capito: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from west virginia. mrs. capito: thank you, mr. president. and i'd like to thank senator blunt from the great state of missouri for his leadership on this issue. he chair

the presiding officer: the senator from west virginia. man. mr. manchin: last year there was a vote on short term continuing resolution. i voted for the continuing resolution because i refuse to support a government shut down in any way, shape, or form. it doesn't mean i believe this is the way the congress should work. my good friend from alaska, and i consider everyone in this body my friend, and the blame game -- i was here -- i got here in november of 2010. the democrats were the majority at that time. and i wandered why we weren't voting. and i didn't understand the process. i started learning the process and i kept wondering, why aren't we voting? then the filibuster and cloture and couldn't get things done. so i am not here to say who's at fault. i know when you are in the majority, you are expected to lead. leadership has to make sacrifices sometimes to find a path forward. both sides are guilty of not doing that as well as it should be done. we're in a government shutdown that should never happen. 300 million people should not be penalize

the whole thing about the evlution of the plant west virginia, dr. toyota and i met him. when i was governor i went to japen with then senator rock feller. dr. toyota was so excited to tell me that against all of the advice of all of his high-powered engineers and his business consultants recommended do not put an engine plant there. he was determined to do it. and he put that engine plant there not only has that become a model for the toyota manufacturing, and it's now grown into some of the most sophisticated engines of the world were made there and then they went into drive trains. i said i want you to see this beautiful vehicle. without west virginia it would not move without the engine and drive train that you made for it. so i was very proud of that. but we're proud of the plant manufacturers of the engines and transmissions. toyota employs 1900 workers in west virginia, approximately 1300 at its plant and over 600 at over toyota dealerships across the state. investment through west virginia totals more than $1.2 llion producing over 600,000 engines and 500 sthourks
