- Poppy Harlow visits a struggling black community in Cleveland, Ohio that tends to vote Democrat and a poverty-stricken rural town in southern Ohio that is leaning more Republican.
The white guy in public housing complaining about others is hilarious af
Ritvik Miglani because the people around him misuse the system
Rex Stevenson but not him, right
Rex Stevenson and you are sure no whites stay in those places for a lifetime, why? Just because they are white? You know that there arer blacks who have worked their way up from poverty as well.
People who are in the coal business need to get out of the coal business. It's in decline and has been for a long time now. It's not any one person's fault and Donald Trump isn't going to save you.
MrC0MPUT3R there is a lot of geniuses that you are mentioning
a cole miner to business manager?
Coal as a power source is yesterdays news, its progress thats killing the coal industry not any politician.
MrC0MPUT3R+dont you think that the markets shouldve decided that instead of obama?he took the leases away so they couldnt mine.
katakisLives+it still being used in many parts of the world.the chinese still use it.its still part of progress.
Yes, from the point of view of a developing economy coal is still the future but even places like China can see the writing on the wall for coal and are investing in renewable energy sources, I know coal is still a major power source but its days are numbered and as economies advance its not going to be around.
Both parties have approved Trade Agreements that sent jobs to other countries. If you are an elected official and you are voting to put your own constituents on the unemployment line then you have got to GO!!!!
"First of all he has a television show"
So backwards!
“The LACK of money is the root of all evil”, Wow, that’s a sage-level insight.
The supply of money itself is not lacking, the more money means less value it has, basic inflation. What you mean is the ‘lack of money in certain people’s possession is the root of all evil’.
I lived in Mansfield Ohio for three years. One of the worse times of my life! You can't get a decent job, half of the damn state is hooked on drugs, and most of the people I met there were dumb as hell.
your own gov is poison you.
take a minute and look for gary webb and the iran contra cia.
These are not the parts of Ohio I live in😳😳
just like Churchill said : The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.
Wow I like that quote
windingpath poor white average voter!
Even though the African Americans they interview seemed much more intelligent and politically informed than the white Trump supporters they talked to. That could be CNN intentionally talking to smarter Hillary supporters and dumber Trump supporters, but it was quite noticeable.
Against? I don't understand what you mean by your statement.
😅
I will never understand how the inner city people always vote Democrat but nothing changes... policy over party. #walkaway
Right on, Jeff Crosby! The Democratic Party has the same platform for 50 years but it has failed drastically.
If a President was directly responsible for me being able to keep my house, there is very little somebody could say to make me not vote for him.
Stevie Del Ray That's a normal reaction, but when you add racism into it.................
Exactly. That lady is just racist, prone to racist tendencies.
Plus, stupidity.
the only smart person was the man that said we had no good choice to vote for.the first time in my life i did not vote for president.
There are people who abuse the hell out of public assistance. That is a fact. People who are on SSI that can support themselves but choose to collect the assistance and sneak a job on the side. I've seen them, you've seen them. This is something that some politician has got to address and stop. I'm all for helping people, god knows I've needed it myself at times but there are people who live by it and it becomes a way of life passed down generations.
Everything Jeff Crosby said is exactly what I feel.
GENERATIONAL poverty....what does that tell you? At one time in past history...when jobs dried up, you packed up..sold your home, said goodby to the town you loved..and moved to where the jobs where. You didnt wait untill jobs came to you.
Hope they go back here to this state in the future. I would love to see their opinions now. Very curious about it. Maybe like the end of this year or early next year.
Generational poverty is a lie my mother and father came to this country with absolutely nothing and they were able to move up to the middle class within a period of 8 years. "GENERATIONAL POVERTY" is another word for underachieving or lazyness. The United States is the best country in the world for upward mobility for those who work hard.
"first of all... he had a television"
Lol I laughed at that like crazy 😂 That woman is not very bright that’s for sure
Coal industry is going out of style! And it’s horrible for out environment! Come on folks! Please move on!
Joe T Problem is that they are no options to move on to. Like in many cases they need re-training for a better opportunity.
liizzset Then they should get trained! Our society has ALWAYS morphed and changed! What would horse shoe makers look like if they were upset with cars because their business was going out of style? They would look crazy! But they didn’t! They didn’t cry and mourn and wait for someone to “bring their job back”! People need to stop whining! 100 years ago, people would uproot their entire family and move across county or even the ocean to find better opportunities! Now a days, people just wait!
Coal fires the majority of generators that produce electricity throughout the world.....not going anywhere for quite some time lad...........wise up......
+Joe T Very well said. No one sat around in boom towns in the West asking for more jobs! They moved to where there are jobs.
Asking misinformed people from both sides is revealing and consequential, but their opinions aren't doing anyone any favors. Seems we don't make time to learn things correctly the first time, and then once we learn misinformation, we are too stubborn to admit we are wrong about anything ever.
Preach!!!!
He saved my home but I saw some stuff on TV!! I have rarely seen such stupidity.
That CNN reporter confidently says "He was not Muslim". My response he sure not a Christian, lol!!!
Hillary "it's a no brainer " said that one lady, boy she's got that right.
The hypocrite at 5:50 omg. That's a deplorable and ignorant Trump voter right there. When he lives off the government he's hard working, but not when they are people of color or democrats. He is blind.
coffeescup he wants to get out of their the colored people around him stay for generations
Rex Stevenson The people like *him* stay there for generations. They all want to get out of there or do better for themselves. You seem to be prejudice just like him w/ such assumptions.
coffeescup I use to live in a housing project they're people still their up to the point they have to name the projects after the grandmas
Rex Stevenson Well, I've lived in areas w/ poor, uneducated and backwards white people - they are still there too. Poverty is hard to break out of for everyone. You are no better than them.
West Virginia is a beauitful mountain state and Its people my grandmother was born and raise in pagen. I pray for west Virginia and God bless.
Kinda incredible that Romney won Pike county by 1 vote, and Trump won it by a 36% margin.
i would love to see the updates on these ppls situations and opinions now in 2019 for comparisons sake.
So, it's been 2 years. Have you went back to interview these people?
I like that; "the lack of money is the root of all evil".
No it isnt.
If there is more money, it will be less worth. It’s called inflation
"First of all he had a television show". Republicans seem smarter and smarter everyday.
No permits, no tags, no nothing. Good luck finding somewhere to get water ice or ice cream.
Coal guys forgot about natural gas
Tell me about a bell curve? This disproves that theory.
Some of these people may have untreated/ undiagnosed mental problems, which may or may not be caused by their environment or their genetics or both. It's easier to manipulate people who have these types of instabilities especially when they run down a long line of multigenerational dysfunction
And I thought I heard it all...
Can you find these same people now and see what's changed?
I would be MORE than interested in that, myself!!
Ohio is an interesting state. I also dislike big urban cities. I prefer the suburbs / valley. The major cities are where the good jobs are at but sky high cost of living and lousy living standards. It is a state that is largely progressive when it comes to the economics yet conservative on social issues. What I heard and saw in this clip, represented a glimpse of that. Both political parties have abandoned the working class in terms of representing their economic interests -- i.e., Democrats are all for the white collar "professional" class whereas the Republicans are for the 1%. Those dirty well-paying "blue collar" jobs that existed in abundance, like coal, are disappearing. They are not profitable anymore. It's best to embrace the renewable energy, demand that the new energy jobs provide similar/equal pay and benefits. Obviously, this won't happen over night but how do you think coal miners got their high wage and benefits? Through solidarity through an union, protesting, striking, and voting and lobbying politicians that represented their interest. Learn the lessons from the past. Don't resist change, embrace it...but also remember what others did in order to achieve comfort.
Agree with every aspect of this. Renewable energy is the future, but unfortunately, this administration is too addicted to the money (& mostly overly-optimistic, unwavering support) of the coal industry/miners. They've even applied a tax to solar panels to discourage companies... When that is less damaging to the environment, along with being renewable... & was (before Trump) the fastest growing job market out there. It could've so benefitted these people... But they're also being obstinant because of the 'coal mining' heritage & intensely personal 'culture' & pride these families have. But it's only going to continue to hurt them not to move on.
@Hakura, Thank you for the kind sentiments.
Indeed -- it is very hard to move on to greener pastures when your great-grandpa, grandpa, dad, and you have lived and depended on coal for so long. The connection should not be to the job but to the worker solidarity (union) that enabled them to get 60k per year in a poor state like Kentucky/West Virginia. What renewable companies could do is offer better marketing of such jobs; offer similar/equal benefits that they had with Coal. Obviously, the 21st century renewable energies won't have a favorable climate nor political connections in those red states. Anyhow, I did hear about the 20-30% tariff that the Trump administration imposed on solar panels from Asia. It's not to help American workers per se but to slow down the de-industrialization of the dirty energy of the 20th century -- in which benefits the oil/coal/nuclear robber barons. Trump is only slowing down the inevitable.
I believe it will take a Bernie Sanders (presidency), or someone very close to his way of thinking, to finally break such ties with the dirty energy of the 20th century. Bernie Sanders made a lot of headway in those Midwestern states, won over many voters.
@Guillermo - We are of very similar mind on these issues. =)
I too am a major supporter of Bernie & his revolution. I'm also fond of Nina Turner, one of his biggest allies, & think she would do well as a possible vice presidential candidate (if that was something she was interested in). I find Joe Biden (& those other corporate Democrats like him) extremely unpleasant. Bernie really _has_ made headway, especially with Republican voters in poorer states, & it's especially good that he can point to his long voting history to prove that he does what he says he will, & doesn't take corporate or PAC money, so is not beholden to anyone but the people who elect him.
As much as I like Bernie Sanders, he is not taking the reins of power head on. He is, however, giving voice to marginalized voices/perspectives that were once forbidden. It seems to me he is taking a back seat on most things. Yes, he is the figure of the political revolution but he is entrusting all of US (who agree with him) to follow and develop our own strategies/parties/perspectives.
I don't think the powers that be will allow a Bernie presidency UNLESS Trump and the GOP really screw up, cause (serious) chaos. As I mentioned beforehand, Bernie doesn't seem interested in causing a mess within the Democratic Party just to win the presidency -- just like what Trump did to the GOP. I would really like to see Bernie as Vice-president though, if anything. It would be symbolic, drastically embolden what's left of the Left. My 2 cents.
I do agree that Bernie would have to be willing to fight to win, considering how the party has been treating him (especially stealing the election from him last time by cheating), & it is struggling to erase him from any commentary about the upcoming 2020 run. But he is acting like a man planning to run for President, spending time traveling around the country & as you mentioned, putting effort into reaching out to Republicans & the disenfranchised Democrats (he's now polling at 80% support with Democrats, & is by far the most popular politician in the country).
I don't think he would be able to enact the changes that need to be made as Vice President (such as getting money out of politics, which is responsible for everything that is wrong with politics now), & is by far the only person I've heard that is considering a run that I would vote for. I'm just so tired of the Democratic party as it is now, & feel that the only way to fix things is to either take this party over from the inside with the Progressives or develop a new party. They just say what voters _want_ to hear, like Obama, & then turn their backs on their voters once they get what they want, & devote all of their policy decisions on pleasing their donors. That is just one of many reasons I hated Hilary Clinton.
We self segregate in every thing in life.
I'm with the guy at the end...
Was trump and clinton the best they could do?
Unemployment and poverty in general disproportionately affects African Americans. The Pacific Standard notes, “The overall national poverty rate is 15 percent, yet black poverty is nearly double that at 27 percent.” Meanwhile Hillary Clinton plans to bring in tens of thousands more Syrian refugees, who will require money, housing, jobs, and other resources. How is this not going to be an economic strain on Ohio and other cities' black citizens (or white citizens) who are in need of the same resources?

they can't run the taxes or laws in their state . want to much money for easy stupid factory jobs .they deserve exactly what they get. god. bless them y'all from texas
Coal has other uses other than as an energy source.
Like what?
Randy Burr is right on as well.
5% unemployment - that's a laugh! Think more like 20-30%.
Igaluit Today Black unemployment rate has decreased to 8% from 18%.
Bruce Davis is right on, too!
Rural America has just officially halted progress for the next 4 years
People have to realize that in today's economy we have to be even more versatile in today's workforce and not limit themselves by saying, "I will only do this kinda work or I won't do that kind." When I was young and had 2 kids and a wife to support I didn't have any choice in the matter, I did whatever put food on the table and a roof over our heads. I've never looked at anyone let alone a politician to get anything done for myself and I never sit around listening to what they'll promise when they're voted in, I have always been brought up it you want something done you have to do it yourself, that way you'll know without a doubt it will get done!
Welfare doesn't help. Jobs are better
They need to do an update on this story
American politics in action !!!.....ONE PARTY FOLKS..
“The LOVE of money is the root of all evil”. GREED is one of the deadly sins
I love the clown comment
wow..."he's a business man"...there's all business men...good n bad. how can anyone go along without tax paper? some ppl go along with anything...now there's a baby in the oval office...one that was appointed...and the damage will last a lifetime...stand for something or fall for anything
5:37 lol funny watching this guy walk away - on his two feet.
Well, you couldn't recognize you're pawns in a larger game and you got played by those you trusted to represent your interests..
Sorry you were deceived buddy.
If you are a business is it better to close up or to close down.
It's not the stock market, where closing up is always the goal.
5:20... SHE IS A KILLER CLOWN!!!
These people don’t want to move or change jobs.....it’s their own fault they are poor
Trump is fixing things, relax and enjoy the art of the deal
First of all, he had a television show 😐😩😩
All the disability receivers and the man in public housing voting for Trump looooooooooooooooool.
I love how she questioned all the Trump supporters or undecided but the Hillary supporters she just went along with
I don't like Trump's way of speaking, but I think it'd be interesting to have him as President.
thats the best part of Trump...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Since Trump has been in presidency , what has he done for Ohio?
Alot!! Jobs are here 😍
Craig Comello What jobs?
Ohio looks like a third world country
We don't have these problems in Columbus 😉
Right on to the last to coal industry men.
I always wonder what's going to happen to this country if something really bad happens(Depression,Another Natural Disaster, Mega Volcano, Earthquake, Attack from another country, Martial Law?) Are we going to help each other or hurt each other, looking around the last couple of years has shown me that we as a people would probably hurt each other at this point. We are not united in any way in this country and even though the signs(white only)are gone that doesn't mean we're blind and not walk into a place and see that we are definitely not welcome. I call it: "The New Jim Crow Era", because you won't see any signs, but usually there is a strict dress code, the cost the dine is high, there's a cover depending on who you are or looks, or you look in and see only one certain(white)race eating their along with families. This is definitely not the dream that the late Dr. Martin Luther King had envisioned for us when he made that famous speech back in August 28th 1963! Then again, it might be their dream speech because it's their world we're living in not ours!!!
Does this guy listen to rap music like the
Obamas , treat women? Unreal!!
8:12 her question and then that woman’s answer.... “he had a television show” wow great supporting evidence lady Hahahaha I can see school wasn’t her strong area.
But only one has crime guess which?
How many times must it be explained to these people. Yeah yeah blah blah we put Obama in and he did nothing for us. Now look at the congressional voting records, Republicans stopped him at every turn, gave him zero clear air. DONT VOTE REPUBLICAN if you want to have any chance at all and forget fucking Jesus, he aint gonna help AT ALL.
When you vote, you may find yourself having to choose between the lesser of two evils rather than the greater of two goods but that does not make voting any less important.
Some people are just brain washed
Trump all the way baby Trump all the way Trump all the way all the way to the bank
One thing to be poor but poor and dumb for trump is terrible.
God bless you brother 😘 trump doesn't care for you or anyone else.☹️☹️☹️
Well here we are end of 2019 and President Trump has kept his promises. At the end of the day you need to ask yourself. Is President Trump making America prosper. Like him or not he is what we need right now and he has my vote again in 2020.
Go Green Party
Why do they need to have someone else create a job for them ? Couldn't one of them start a busienss them selves doing something ? What magic could any president do ? Are they looking for wage rises due to inflation.
That is a lie he had a pray room in the white house
12:06. Have you openly apologized? Or are you going to be a good dog face long Soldier? Union's. Joke.
MAGA go Trump!
I like Randy Barr 9:15
very fake reporting
Jeff Crosby's eyes...😓
That's all you focused on? What about his message?
Click bait!
#HillaryForPrison
#TrumpForPresident
Erin Sullivan: hahah shes Free and Trump will be tried for treason. So who gets the last laugh? Not you
Ha ha ha, Trump luvs these folks. Kiss your govt benefits, economy, healthcare goodbye.
What voters need to understand is that running a government is not totally comparable to running a business. When a Trump business failed he could just bankrupt it and start over because of his wealth. Governing is the constant pursuit of an agenda/policy goal. Being a talented strategist is a key to being an effective leader. Donald Trump is not that kind of a leader.
Love Trump and make America great again love Trump
Thank Democrats, entitlement programs, illegal migration, jobs shipped overseas, big corporations etc etc
Censorshipisreal Cham go back to watching Fox News
DEMOCRATS
Bleached blonde black. uh-no.
Unemployment rate does not reflect how many people don't have jobs. It simply represents the amount of people who aren't categorized as "discouraged workers" which are people who haven't has a job for something like two years.
Employment is UP, and unemployment is down. Record levels. You can try to minimize that, but Trump is making things happen for the better. Sorry if the truth hurts and you can't admit you were wrong.
redistribution of wealth...
Yes Hillary will help you like she did Hatia.
That was bad green screen
6:12 this looks like a green screen
No I see a car moving in the background
You can tell it’s not a green screen, cause when the car drives by. The shadow off the vehicle reflects on her
Ohio is Republicans state. I live in columbus and i see a big improvement in ohio since president Donald J Trump been elected. GOD BLESS OHIO.
Trump was a fairytale that turned into a nightmare.
these people are very shitty. chicken rice beans grow your own food it doesn't take long and you have a lot of property to do so you got 3000 square feet of property use it forget about the job. You only need three things food water and shelter. Grow your own food advertise it sell what you don't eat and you'll be okay.
Well, the 'shelter' isn't cheap in most situations... & you need heat & water too, so, you need a job to pay for it.
