but wilson, north carolina, is an exception you wouldn't think that a place like this has world-class broadband speeds, but the truth is it does >> reporter: but in order to actually connect all of these houses crews have to install fiberoptic cable like these. after a large cable company refused to partner with wilson, the city spent $32 million to create its own broadband network. making high-speed internet a public utility here. available to anyone in the county like gas or electricity. >> we didn't just cherry-pick the most profitable or potentially profitable region >> reporter: only two cities in north carolina are allowed to provide internet this way. because state law backed by the telecom industry now essentially forbids internet as a public utility on the grounds of fair competition. 18 other states have similar laws but just 30 miles north of wilson, rocky mount's mayor says the law is holding his town back >> we've got to have the technology to enable our resident population to live here >> reporter: residents here say the internet offered by private company is so slow man

it is racing across north carolina just outside of raleigh, north carolina, moving at a speed out of the east northeast at 20 miles per hour but the severe weather and flash flooding still going to remain an issue for inland areas in north carolina yes, it does regain strength as it makes its way to coastal areas of north carolina. by early this morning i do think it turns back into a tropical storm. it will gain some steam off shore and this will cause some high surf and some storm concerns across the northeast before it starts to make its way into nova scotia as we go into tuesday. it's the flood threat behind it. it's the series of fronts and severe weather that will cause flooding rain across the deep south into the northeast isolated areas could see three inches gusty winds and severe weather threat will continue we'll talk about that coming up. >> janessa, we'll see you soon thank you. >>> the white house is ramping up to meet the vaccination goal. on friday the administration celebrated a milestone of 300 million covid-19 doses in the president's first 150 days in office but t

was a commander of the 35th united states color troops based out of new bern, north carolina. and in the battle of austie in florida wants to colonel was killed the leukem lieutenant colonel took his place and led the 35th regiment in battle. in olustee, florida so lieutenant colonel william reed is who i'm reenacting today. what what was his life like after the war? have you done? he suffered some wounds during the battle and he died and it was shortly thereafter, so he didn't really have a life after the battle, but most of the us color troops if you think about it, they were from the south. so when they mustered out of the military they went back home or went to the areas of the south today, but most familiar with and the good part about it is they were able to take their weapons with them so they could provide some level of safety for their community for as long as they could. one one people who don't know anything about the us colored troops what sort of basic things do you think they should know? well, it's it's a man of historical fact that president issued the emancipa

, will you please bring governor kristi noem here to north carolina? , will you please bring governor kristi noem here to north carolina? [applause] ladies and gentlemen, i'm happy to introduce you to south dakota governor kristi noem. [applause] gov. noem: good afternoon. how are you all doing? alright, let's be honest, you people had no idea who i was one year ago. [laughter] right? the first time you heard my name was because the liberals were busy kicking me in the head for all decisions i was making from south dakota. right? rachel maddow, elizabeth warren, all talking about how i was irresponsible and reckless. i was a denier. i want you to know something -- my people are happy. they are happy because they are free. they are free and their freedoms were protected this last year. so, i want to thank you for inviting me to be here with you and to share with your little bit of my thoughts on the direction of this country. i will share with you a little bit on how i made my decisions this last year. in order for you to understand how i made those dec

you spoke with the president was in north carolina over the weekend. i know you gave this serious thought. for now, you've taken your stuff out of contention to run for the primary in the state, your home state of north carolina. >> yeah and you're right, it was a really tough decision to make. i love my home state. i would love to have been able to run for the seat. but being a mom right now is going to come first for me. having two young kids, one and three, i couldn't be the mom to them that i feel i need to be in want to be, nor do i feel like i could be the senator north carolina deserves right now should i have been elected. so you're right, i said it is no for now but not know forever because we'll see what happens in the future. you never know. donald trump became president. you never know what could happen. but we did have a great endorsement by my father-in-law, ted bud, as you alluded to in the beginning of the segment, i got to campaign for ted in 2018 when he was running for congress. he's a great guy, former businessman like my father-in-

now they want to ban it from north carolina public schools? i guess i mean i guess the terrible reading is like the four part like for the express purpose also applies to that clause but i don't know. that just gives up the game doesn't it? nicole hannah jones, a correspondent for the new york times magazine where she created the 1619 project, which was an examination of racism and slavery in this country and its centrality to the spine of american history. for that, she was awarded the 2020 pulitzer prize for commentary and she joins me now. nicole, part of what is so nuts about this entire debate or discourse is just the the malleability of the terms. like when you look at the actual legislative text, this is like intensely regulating basically a set of like substantive conceptions about america's goodness and innocence inherently more than anything else. >> yes, so one, we should just think about that these laws are prescribing a patriotic education. well what does that mean? if you read my opening essay in the 1619 project, it's actually p

i had a question about north carolina. because particularly in -- the thing about the south there are many souths when you really break it down, the north carolina that matt lassiter describes, is that the same north carolina that tim tyson describes? why not or how not? >> it is definitely a much -- tim tyson's description is much more rural, much more isolated. charlotte is definitely a much more urban center, a much more busy center, even today. and the language they were using around it was a lot less charged and much more sort of related to civil rights with the argument for -- the children should be able to choose which school they go to, which i thought was just funny because the kids aren't really going to care. but so it is much more -- this is where we are, this is what we should have and not why are you sending our children outside of their neighborhood school and tyson was more of solely focused on race and we don't want a black pastor preaching in our church. >> speaking of charlotte, i think something really

in my home state of north carolina where one of the top plastic producers in the country. as of 2019 we were ranked in the top 10 in the country in terms of number of employees in the plastics industry. with over 38,000 employees. we have also played an important role in plastic waste reduction and recycling innovation. in 2009 when i served in the north carolina state legislature, we were facing serious issues with litter and sea turtle deaths along the outer banks, one of the most pristine parks of our state. in response, we passed a law that bans single use plastic bags in six counties along the outer banks. while this law is generally supported in those communities, it was repealed in 2017. in addition, we have researchers at the north carolina state university in my district who are involved in plastic waste reduction and recycling research. in addition to the company previously mentioned one graduate of n.c. state's college of textiles went on to found a sustainable clothing company that converts plastic bottles into fiber that is spun into yarn, into fabric, and sow
