hi, i'm chris jansing live in cleveland, ohio. this state is home to 11.5 million people, the seventh most populous state in the nation, and all of them, just like you, have one single pressing question -- when are we going to get life back as normal? we've taken you to a lot of places over the last six or seven weeks, to both coasts,

places like atlanta, to texas. tonight we're going to stay here. we're going to talk about what we think most of you are talking about. let me give you a lay of the land first. this beautiful building behind me, the rock 'n' roll hall of fail. every time i've been in there, it's been packed. that's been closed for close to two months. see that ship out on lake erie? that's also a museum. it was committed in 1925, it was involved in shipping steal for world war ii. this is a place where a lot of clevelanders will take their kids. classes go there. it's a sign science center. of course that's closed, too. if they have a lake, the best kids can do is go out on a boat. with more than 1,000 ca9,000 ca

over a thousand deaths, governor mike dewine is taking things very slowly. >> we know that there are people hurting out there, not just because of the pandemic, but hurting because of poverty, they're hurting because they're unemployed and that's why we're pushing to get us back open just as fast as we can, and we're going to continue to do that. we have to balance public safety, but at the same time we know that we want to open things up. >> reporter: yesterday dentists and veterinary clinics were able to reopen. monday it will be construction companies and offices. on may 12th the retail stores will be allowed to open their stores again, though there are exception, no restaurants, no nail salons. a majority of the people here support the governor's plan, a

sentiment as we traveled around the state. >> as a person of ohio, i hope that we can open. we've been ordering takeout to try to support small businesses. >> i'm cautiously optimistic about it. i think maybe it's a little too soon, but i understand that we need to restart the economy at some point. >> reporter: let's get right to some of the people who are on the front lines of enforcing the reopenings of their own economies. tito brown is the mayor of youngs town. mayor waly, do you agree with governor dewine's approach? are your businesses ready to open? >> for the most part i do agree with the governor taking it very slowly and making sure we get testing up and you running before retail opens.

i think it's important for the state to make sure people stay safe while slowly opening up the economy. >> mayor brown, mahoney county, which includes youngstown, i've been to your city many, many times, has had the largest number of cases in the state per capita. i think i checked it this morning, you may be down to second, but 82 people dead as of this morning, 900 cases. how does that change or does it change the equation for you? what are your residents telling you about their willingness to get things reopened? >> chris, the residents in youngstown and specifically mahoney county, they're asking and make sure we're going to take it slow. we're going to take the opinion of the doctor, as well the governor. we're going to take it slow, look at the data and what the medical science says for us right here in youngstown, ohio. >> >> reporter: we all have so many questions about so many things,

mayor. do you have any idea about why your county has been so hard hit? there are ideas. we're going to leave it to the professionals to figure it out. we're not really sure but in all efforts we're continuing how to do it right now, what we have to deal with. >> mayor whaley, you've been talking about the need for federal aid and i think your story is very striking. dayton has had to furlough 420 employees, about 25% of the workforce. could there be even more to come or do you feel confident that federal help is coming? >> well, i think we really are working hard to make sure that we do get federal help but nothing is certain. that's why we're trying to share the story about what's happening on the front lines and in our community. we've put forward to our department asking them what an 18% cut would look like.

with that sort of revenue loss because of the loss of income tax, we know it will affect our front line who is have been doing heroic work the past year, our police and firefighters. >> mayor brown, if there was one bit of help that you needed, what is it and who can get it for you? >> i think right now the federal government. we're like everyone else in this pandemic. we see loss of revenue on every account for us. ohio is like any other -- we deal with income tax and sales tax. if those are down, cities are suffering. we need the federal government to step in and help places like youngstown, ohio and dayton, ohio. >> in the back drop of all this, mayor whaley, your governor has

become a public figure, not afraid to go up against the president. how do you think your governor is doing? >> i think he's doing a terrific job. he talks to tito and i and other mayors every single day, sharing with us what's going to happen, giving us feedback and getting our feedback of what we see on the ground. i think it's how governing should be, democrats and republicans coming to the during a disaster to make sure we protect the safety of everyone in our community. we hope that washington, d.c. and the federal government learn some lessons from ohio. >> governor brown, how do you think he's doing? is there something that you've heard repeatedly as you've been on these calls with the governor that you think that the mayors would want the american people to know about their needs? >> well, i think every day as mayor whaley mentioned, when we

get on the call, the governor asks what are you hearing, what are you seeing? we give him our feedback. i would like more than anything from the governors, we'll hear it in his press conference a day or day later and we can see action. that's the one thing you can take away from ohio, you see action from the governor. he's not just giving us lip service. this aye oohio's alliance shoula model for other mayors across the nation. if we work together, we can all get through this pandemic together. >> i know it's been said before but it's worth repeating, if people can't come together and put politics aside at a time like this, i don't know when we can. my thanks to you both and thanks to all you're doing for your constituents. now i want to talk a couple of business owners. they're the ones on the front lines. this is a state where a million, a million people have already

lost their jobs. dave ferante owns visible book store and kiley sewns a nail salon, she joins me by skype. >> are you going to open? >> we're going to wait a little bit. not only do i worry about our customer base but my employees. i have to make sure i keep them healthy in this environment. i think as far as retail goes, we're getting a little ahead of ourselves and i'd rather wait a couple weeks and see the lay of the land. >> you're an independent book store. part of the appeal on this kind everything on the internet, you

can have authors come in and how long do you think it will be before you think you can get open and get back to those things that kept you in business? >> part of the equation is what the governor comes down to, how many people can be there at one time? the restaurants are having the same problem we're having. we have a restaurant below us called crust and one called proof and they're not opening either. they're going to open a carry out. we're going to see what happens with those businesses. people have short memories. if things slow down a little bit here, maybe july. if not, i think it could get really bleak and go on to next year. >> let's hope the more optimistic turns out to be true but we just don't know. things are more uncertain for you, kiley. governor dewine -- let me just play for what you he said about salons yesterday at his briefing. >> as we move forward, we're now

getting ready, as we said, to look at things where people are looking a lot closer. hair. we're trying to go from things that are more obvious to things that become more difficult. >> when do you think, kiley, that you'll be able to reopen? will you reopen as soon as you get the go ahead? >> i'm not sure when is the safest time to reopen but i fully support what the governor and health officials have guidelines for us and, you know, the stages that we're supposed to open. i really think that we need to come together and support the decision because it's for our health and concern. everyone. >> you sent us some video and some pictures of your salon. it's a typical salon. the chairs are pretty close to each other. i'm sure you've thought this through. what will your salon look like, do you think, after it reopens? >> i think this is a new chapter

for my industry. we're going to have a lot more safety prot com-- protocols. that's why i think it's taking more time for us to open up. we are a close-knit environment. we have to touch the clients in order to get the services done. >> if there has been a hiccup that got a lot of attention from the governor, it's that he sort of said, yes, wear a mask and, no, you are don't have to wear a mask, it's preferred to wear masks. do you think you'll want people at least in the beginning to wear masks before they come into your salon, kiley? >> yes, in the beginning there's going to have to be a new normal, and we're going to have to have all these safety implements like taking temperatures and wearing gloves for every client and having masks ready for everyone to wear to make sure we're all protected

in this environment. >> you, too, dave? what's your protocol going to be, do you think? >> we're going to follow whatever the governor says. i think just to keep the staff safe and make sure the customers are safe, we'll probably deal with masks. then you have the fact that people are handling books all day long. we still don't know how long the virus stays on the books or on a piece of paper. >> how are your employees doing? >> thankfully we have an online business, which is helping off tremendously. we did unfortunately have to lay two people off. it was a group decision on what to do. we all felt it was the right thing to close when we did, which was a little ahead of when it was mandated to close. my staff's been great with all this. i feel bad for what's going on with them. >> don't we all. well, good luck to you. keep the faith with the independent book is to astore. >> thank you.

appreciate the invite. kiley, thank you to you as well. we're just getting started. if you have pork in your house, it might have come to here. this is one of the biggest pork producers in the country. we're going to talk to a pig farmer. don't go anywhere. we live from cleveland right after this. anywhere. we live from cleveland right after this that's why we're still offering fast, free two day shipping on thousands of items. even the big stuff. and doing everything it takes to ensure your safety. so you can make your home everything you need it to be. wayfair. way more than furniture.

> back live in cleveland. ohio's governor has been taking an intentionally slow approach opening this state, exactly the opposite of texas, restaurants, malls are open, movie theaters are open for business. texas has more than 30,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus, almost 900 known deaths. joining me is priscilla thompson. could it be two more different approaches from where i am to

where you are, priscilla. talk to us about what's going on in texas. >> reporter: you mentioned those businesses which have been allowed to reopen with around 25% capacity. the governor said if all goes well, by mid may he anticipates opening more businesses and allowing all of them to operate at about 50%. to your point, that is in contrast to what we're seeing in ohio. i will say texas obviously began the reopening process a bit sooner than ohio has, but what both are doing is sort of the staggered reopen where texas has allowed for retailers to reopen and restaurants, but they're being very cautious about things like hair salons and tattoo shops and gyms, which is in stark contrast to what we have seen in georgia where it seemed like the flood gates were opened and all businesses were allowed to resume at one time. >> we'll all be like cautious,

look on guard. i don't want to leave here. that's a gamble. i hope people believe this. >> reporter: and so the person that you just heard from was actually a resident here in houston's sunny side neighborhood. this is a neighborhood that has been most impacted by the virus. i think that he represents one of the key questions, which is that now that these businesses are reopened, are folks actually going to come out and visit them? some people here aren't sure. >> yeah, i was wondering about whether or not there had been any pushback or what you're hearing when you're talking to folks there. on thursday, which was the day before this texas stay-at-home order expired, the state reported its largest one-day rise in coronavirus deaths. >> reporter: you know, it's interesting because on thursday there were actually hair stylists here in houston that were protesting the idea that their businesses wouldn't be

allowed to reopen and then mere hours after that we saw the deadliest day of the coronavirus in texas. officials are saying you have the option to reopen but that doesn't mean you have to. while we know the owner of the the simon properties, the malls, have reopened in various states, most of the mall in the area have continued to do that curbside service. tomorrow is sunday. a number of the pastors i've spoken to said they will not be reopening their doors tomorrow. >> that is interesting. priscilla thompson in houston, thank you so much for that. let's bring it back to ohio where farming is very big business. there are 75,000 farms in the state and they contribute nearly 1 billion in production.

these numbers made my heart skip a beat. i can imagine what it like for you. your prices have gone from $150 a head, which you describe as the break even point, to $100 a head. how are you even surviving? >> it's very tough right now. i thought about saying we're in a crisis mode and i think we are in a crisis mode right now. we're in a financial crisis mode, our packing facilities are in a crisis mode right now. before the covid-19 started, we were probably running at 98% of the packing capacity. right now our packing capacity has been deflated 40 o 40%. we lost 40% between shut downs that we've seen in the news or slowdown, sid idled operations running one out of two shifts because of the covid problems.

we're in a desperate situation. we can't get our hogs to market. we can't get these pigs slaughtered. we're different across the industry where we're started this operation of birthing these animals ten months ago, parenting these animals ten months a s ago. we just can't turn a light switch on. we can't dump milk. we have to move the animals from a birthing facilities, in a finishing facility and into a packing facility every day. so when we shut down these packing facilities, we have nowhere to go with these animals. we're in desperation when you shut she's pathese packing faci down to 60% so we're in desperation right now. >> so what do you do? you only have so much room. you can only accommodate so many animals. what are you doing?

>> well, unfortunately, there's people across the countries euthanizing the animals because there's nowhere to go with them. i think that's unethical. we worked very hard to raise these animals and some people have to euthanize them because there's nowhere to go. we started this ten months ago fathering the animals and parenting these animals and takes three weeks, three months, three days to birth an animal and takes five to six months to feed an animal out. when they're ready to go to market, they have to go to market because there's pigs right behind them that go. there's some people across the country that actually euthanized big animals, baby pigs coming out of the mothers. that's just not what i was raised to do. that's perfectly good meat. we have unfortunately in ohio have not had to do much of that at our farm. i think there's other fellow hog industry people that have to do.

it's just a very sad situation. we fortunately have three different sites we were going to but as of last week we lost our first packing house they shut down for two weeks. we hope they'll be back up and going but we don't know. we probably have two weeks to be shut down and then we'll have to make a decision of what we're going to do. we can't dump milk out in the field, we can't stop a beef situation where you leave them out on pasture a little longer or in a poultry situation, you got six weeks it takes to raise a chicken, you cannot hatch eggs the next time. we're in a different situation. we have to move pigs every day because we birth pigs every day, we have to move them to the packer every day. when you have 40%, you have to do something to move pigs. >> it's a tragic situation for you, to the folks who have

gotten sick and died working at the meat processing plants. let's hope something happens to get you folks back up and running in both locations soon. thank you so much for helping us understand what's going on out there. and still ahead, numbers that have to make president trump green with envy. ohio's governor mike dewine riding high in the polls because of his handling of the coronavirus crisis. we're going to look at whether it's going to last for the political insider here in this state. r here in this state. no uh uh, no way come on, no no n-n-n-no-no only discover has no annual fee on any card. n-n-n-no-no we're finally back out in our yard, but so are they.

welcome back to the beautiful city of cleveland, ohio. i'm chris jansing. this is a state that donald trump won by eight points in 2016, but some analysts say it might just be back in play in november. governor mike dewine has gotten high marks for his decisive handling of the crisis, often willing to buck his fellow republican, president trump. he was, for example, the first governor to close schools. >> we are announcing today that

children of the state will have an extended spring break. the spring break will be of duration of three weeks. it's, therefore, my recommendation that voting be extended until june 2nd, that no in-person voting occur today. we're now at a new stage. continuation of what has been going on. drf dr. atkins just signed a stay-at-home order for all ha s -- ohioans. we are where we are today so we can start getting people back to work. we are here because of what you have done. >> i've been watching all these briefings, he's always like that, very calm, matter of fact.

a new poll finds 85% of residents here approve of dewine's handling of the coronavirus crisis. that's 35 points higher than president trump. i spoke with a couple of those supporters earlier this week. >> i did not vote for governor dewine, but i really am supportive of how he's handled everything, and i think he's done a great job and i'm really proud to be an ohioan right now. >> do you feel confident the way the state has been handling this? >> yes, i think the governor has done an excellent job and i'm pleased to live in ohio. he's taken an excellent stance on this. he's been very data driven. >> joining me now is politics reporter wi reporter, andrew dubias. it's 90 to 50%.

i'm wondering how your governor wept from being pretty much an unknown to one of the best known governors in the country? >> he's been holding these brieflyi briefing that have become appointment-only briefings. he's almost become a celebrity. some of the other participants in the press conference have become celebrities. and i think people have like the very typical comment like the person you interviewed earlier said some of the democrats would say i didn't vote for you but i appreciate the leadership that you're showing on this. i think that's reflected in the poll numbers. >> yeah, i've heard it again and again as i talked to people and the governor is taking it very slowly. we have seen protests, people

want things to move a little quicker. are you seeing any movement? are you seeing any indication that more people are going to be pushing? have the protests gotten bigger? what's going on out there? >> so the protests have been pretty consistent in their size. it's maybe a couple of hundred people, not hundreds of people per se. but you do see in the state legislature here, which is controlled by republicans, that i would say a majority of them have raised concerns about the way the governor is handling this. they've said watching these other states opening up and looking at the situations in ohio as far as the cases, we're mu mu much better than our neighboring states and similar states. it will be interesting to see how loud the demonstrations get. as of a week or two, they approved it. over a million unemployment

claims have been filed over the last two months. every day that happens, people get more and more desperate with what's going on in their lives. >> president trump is getting less popular here. i was here on election night 2016 when he absolutely trounced hillary clinton. but there's this new very recent great lakes poll, trump is now trailing joe biden by a point, within the margin of error but that's a five-point swing in a month. and his favorability rating is just 43%. november is a long way off, a lot can change. do you think ohio is in play and why? >> can you imagine how it couwo work. you hear the term obama trump

supporters. and where the republican party has been increasingly weak in the last couple of cycles, that's how you imagine it could get there. but like you said, a lot could change november. it was within the margin of error. it's very dynamic. i wouldn't bet against the president being re-elected per se, but at the same time the situation we're dealing with is completely unprecedented and at least the information we have right now shows the race is kind of up for grabs potentially. >> and then you wrote this week about something that, again, i think is one of those unknowns, how it's going to change people's views, education. the budget here probably a target of cuts. i've spent a lot of time these last several days talking to local student and educators. i want to play what one 16-year-old told me about how she has been struggling since her school shut down. take a listen. what worries you are most,

takayla, about all of this? >> not passing. not going to the tenth grade. >> you have draeeams of what yo want to do when you grow up? >> yes, i do. >> what is that? >> i want to be an entrepreneur. >> a lot of these teen-agers very thoughtful about what this might mean for their futures. how much concern is there around the state and what if anything can the governor do about this? >> it's very difficult. you know, it's happening around the country. you have parents who have their kids at home. it's very difficult to try to arrange whatever they're doing with their jobs, as well as making sure kids are in classes you have students who don't have reliability broadband in their house. and as you said earlier -- [ inaudible ]. so it's a pretty dire situation in that regard. you know, it's one of those things that -- [ inaudible ].

i don't know what the answer is. there's no easy answer to that question. it's definitely a major concern affecting a lot of people. >> andrew tobias, a terrific reporter at a great paper. thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us. i'm sure we'll all be back in ohio sometime around the election, let's hope without the masks. our live coverage from cleveland continues and we've got some surprised guests, a surprise to me. e got some surprised guests, a surprise to me so good. high protein. low sugar. mmm, birthday cake. pure protein. the best combination to help you stay fit. there's my career,... my cause,... my choir. i'm a work in progress. so much goes... into who i am. hiv medicine is one part of it.

the beautiful skyline of cleveland, ohio. i wonder what do you miss most since all of this happened, since lockdown? for me when i was driving here, seven and a half hours from manhattan, i was thrilled to be out of my apartment where i'd been by myself for six weeks. but i thought most of my family is here in ohio. usually we all get together and that's not going to happen. look what happened tonight. all of these folks showed up. these are the frus, two educators, my niece, erin, her husband, and jack, they're used to going on a fun and fantastic summer vacation.

coming from southeast ohio, it's -- it's a very, very impoverished it's a very, very impoverished area and the poverty rate is almost two times the national average, and there's so many people there that don't have a lot, and i'm up here for all those kids in athens and in athens county that, you know, go home to not a lot of food on the table hungry after school, and you guys can be up here, too. >> that was joe burrow, he was the lsu quarterback. had one of the greatest years if not the greatest year ever for a quarterback last year when he accepted the heisman trophy. he wanted to highlight not only his teammates but where he had come from and a lot of people in places like small towns in ohio

are facing. and this -- this is statue of jim brown, by the way. this is where he would come to play as a cincinnati bengal against my beloved cleveland browns. but the question is not just for the nfl but for mlb, for the nba what is going to be the next time we're actually able to see those folks play? so let me bring in dave clark. he is a sports reporter for the cincinnati inquirer, and it's so great to have you. and i was thinking about when lebron james came back to cleveland and how crazy we all were, and i wonder if it was a little bit like that on draft night, but how that sort of plays into this whole confusion about when will we even see professional sports again. >> yeah, thanks for having me. i think the toughest thing for sports fans is the uncertainty on top of uncertainty. what i mean by that is it's stressful enough trying to stay

healthy and not knowing when there's going to be a vaccine or at least effective tests and track in place. but on top of that we have no idea when these are going to resume, where they're going to play, will there be spectators, how many will be allowed. the nfl draft i think gave football fans a weekend long respite from that, but then it's right back to reality. yes, joe burrow is a bengal and that's exciting, but what will the nfl season look like? normally we'll just be thinking how he'll perform and is he surrounded by enough talent, but we don't even know when the season will start. >> yeah, i mean we don't know when anything will start. i mean with the six pro teams and the four major sports just here in ohio and, you know, i think it's a lot like other midwestern places like green bay. we love our teams so much and i wonder what you're hearing from

fans. i was just talking to my brother and he's, you know, trying to be optimistic and he's super bowl, but, you know, what are fans telling you right now? >> well, ohio governor mike dewine said people are going to have to make decisions on their own, and we don't know where we're going to be in august. lives at stake, an economy at stake, jobs at stake. those are all considerations and priorities that make getting to watch a ball game in person seem very insignificant to a lot of people. not everyone but people who have been treating this as a legitimate threat and will continue to do so. they are going to attend games in person until they know it's absolutely safe. >> yeah, you cover the reds. i've been an indians fan pretty much my whole life. i can't remember a time when i wasn't going to their games. and i -- you know, i wonder what the conversations are like behind the scenes and what

you're hearing, you know, among the team owners in the various sports, among the commissioners. what is your sense of sort of where their head is right now? >> i think it's really that sun certainty on top of uncertainty we talked about. there are proposed plans but we really don't know where they're going to play and when spectators are going to be back in stadiums and arenas. i want live sporting events back not only because i've enjoyed them but it's my livelihood and how i support my family. i think it would be nice for fans to be able to enjoy those live sporting events in person, but i don't know how teams and sports can do that responsibly. i think leagues and schools are getting closer to figuring that out to have at least an abbreviated season this year. and those are the talks that are

going on i think but figuring out how to bring back spectators and safely socially distance i think will require more time and a clearing understanding down the line of the situation we'll face a few months from now. >> well, you know, i put on my cleefbds indians cap. i don't know if you can see me. i've got my cleveland browns cap here and i'm ever hopeful, but can you sort of put into words -- obviously you're a sports reporter and you love this so much, but what is it -- what even goes through your mind when you think about months without professional sports just, you know, as part of your life? >> yeah it's just a pretty dreadful thought. like i said the nfl draft is a break from that but we go right back to where we were before the draft, you know, wondering when we're actually going to see joe

burrow in a bengals uniform. nfl draft ratings were huge throughout ohio and part of that i think is getting to see the reaction of a guy from southeast ohio getting drafted by the nfl team in southwest ohio. but it's more than that clearly. there are a lot of people in ohio who love to follow their peoples, and it's funny how you'll get a little bit of overlap but not much. the percentage of ohio state buckeye fans in cincinnati, there are some, but the numbers pale in comparison to central ohio or northern ohio. greater cincinnati may as well be in a different state. part of the reason you see miami and au are so close and they all have division one basketball teams. so unless you went to osu there are four teams closer to where you live that could make the ncaa tournament. so i think those are the types of thoughts that fans are having throughout the state.
