So when President Obama and Hillary Clinton say they're gonna put coal out of business, it hits us harder than just about anyplace else.
Liz CheneyI have a great deal of respect for the craft, I don't know how much respect it has for me. But it's a precision process. Doing it on stage would be, I think, terrifying.
