but this is something if you are a rust belt person like i am, this doesn't happen to you. lebron james could have won ten more in l.a. and miami and never come back. this is remarkable. >> luke is so excited. >> -- from manziel. it's great. >> let's talk about the fact there are reactions quite distnkt from luke's here. a lot of people in that category of individuals who care about, you know, home cred. that feel he abandoned them initially and they aren't exactly quick to welcome him back. how is he going to surmount that perception? >> i think he'll be welcomed back immediately. i think that will be a tiny minority. i can't imagine it being more than three angry dock workers still mad at him. scott robbin who wrote a book called the "horror of akron" forgave him on twitter. it's too good of an occurrence for cleveland because nothing good ever happens to cleveland for them to throw it away and stay bitter about it. here's the thing. i think lebron, you know, he had his open letter to "sports illustrated" and was very savvy about it. he knows how much people play up a rom

but the rust belt has won and we are thankful for that.enna wolfe, on the streets of cleveland, one thing a lot of people missed is the first time lebron james left, there's a real economic impact on the surrounding businesses around the arena. also in the psyche of cleveland. businesses have to be thrilled with this. think about all the people pouring in to see lebron james. think about all the folks who want to be in cleveland now. this has to have a huge impact on tourism. >> it absolutely does. and it's not just the businesses in and around the stadium. we spoke to a lot of small business owners who were so thrilled. just so thrilled with the possibility of new traffic coming in that they already, it seemed things were going to be better for them. there are a lot of businesses here in town that have these great fun contests going. i'll give lebron a share of my business if he'll come back. i'll give you free slurpees for a year if you come back. so much going on. businesses are tripping over themselves to bring customers in because the

of the race. 2008, you betcha, the republicans thought going to minnesota might help them in the rust belt it didn't. minnesota was blue in november. team obama will tell you they believe going to colorado in 2008 did help put that state in the democratic fold that voted for bush in 2004. 2012 barack obama went to north carolina, he won it in 2008 but not in 2012 so that didn't work. the republicans knew they needed florida, they went to tampa, nope, that went blue. so it doesn't always matter where you hold your convention. why would republicans go to cleveland, ohio? maybe you know the history. no republican in modern times has won the presidency without winning ohio. this was the map in 2012 when barack obama won it for the second consecutive time. what the republicans hope for in 2016 is if they're in cleveland, their standing in the suburbs about go up a little bit more. see this blue here and see this blue here, what they're hoping for is that it looks more like this, if they show up in ohio that's george w. bush in 2004. robert costa, the guy who would like to be celebrated in cleve

between 2000 and 2012 every metropolitan area from the rust belt to sun belt. and tech areas saw increases in the suburban poor, rising 65% nationwide, more than twice the pace of growth in cities. >>> i think we have had a traditional view of poverty that it may be an alcoholic under the bridge. and the thing that is so important for people to realise is that people that look like each of us, and who have experienced many of the same things we experienced. >> as perception of suburban poverty lagged, so has the funding. groups like must in atlanta suburbs get $2 in grant money per poor person, compared with $72 awarded to city counterparts. suburbs have had a great deal of challenge trying to track the fund to build capacity. >> elizabeth knooeb own ace much of what drew people to the suburbs, affordable homes and middle class drugs became driving factors of poverty after the collapse in the wake of the financial crisis. >> 94% of foreclosures happened. they are facing shifts. middle age jobs were lost. we are seeing the living here for a family of two with tw

but the point is, those are kind of the rust belt from their perspective.ooking at the growth in cloud services and hybrid cloud, and that's where they're doing their investing. so, yeah, their revenue is pretty stable, but what they try to do is maintain high margins by bringing in these new leading-edge businesses where they have a bit of an advantage, and to leave some of the more commodity-like things to other people. so, that's been their business model, but it does involve getting rid of revenue, and in fact, their hardware revenues have been fairly weak in the last few quarters. >> this doesn't change the problem, though, roger, and that is that they've been slow to recognize the secular threats that face the industry, that its competitors recognize perhaps earlier and now have the lead over ibm on, especially given it's hard to steer the ship. >> that's right. >> they were slow to the game with cloud and when it came to sas, software as a service, so now here they are buying hewlett-packard. what can they do? this is like steering the "titanic" at t

and the fact that it's been essentially a rust belt, heavy industry economy. so as the, cra ukrainian govern takes back parts of ukraine, they are reaching out to us and the european union asking for support for microprojects and other things that will quickly jump-start the economy and over the long term, dwesification of that economy away from heavy industry and into things that will bring innovation and technology and opportunity. >> my time is up. thank you. i would suggest energy efficiency as one of the great projects they should take advantage of. >> senator slate? >> secretary nuland, i think we're all buoyed by what we've heard in the last few weeks, particularly the military successes and how we attribute that. i think we're all that. i think we're all surprised that the ukrainian mill theitary is showing more strength than they seemed to have before. but also i think a lot of it is the fact that there were -- the elections were good, went well. the government had legitimacy. people have some hope in the east at least. with regard to further actions

eastern ukraine number one concern is economic opportunity and the fact that it's been essentially a rust belt heavy industry economy. so as the ukrainian government takes back parts of eastern ukraine they are reaching out to us, they are reaching out to the european union asking for support for microprojects and other things that will quickly jumpstart the economy and over the long-term diversification of that economy away from the industry and into things that will bring innovation and technology in opportunity to donetsk. >> my time is up. i thank you but i would suggest energy efficiency as they are looking at projects is one great opportunity that they should take advantage of. >> thank you. secretary nuland i think we are all -- by what we have heard in the last couple of weeks particularly the military successes and how we attribute that. i think we are all surprised the ukrainian military is showing more strength than they seem to have the four but also i think a lot of it is the fact that the elections were good, went well. the government has legitimacy. people have supposed -- hope

we should be very focused and target the russian energy sector because it is -- russia to me is a rust beltey're using the natural resources as the sort of club to get other nations to be their allies. we need to be targeting their energy sector and we need to be helping europe develop their own energy resources, potentially use strategic shipments of liquid natural gas from the united states to help them break their reliance on russian energy and finding other energy suppliers for europe. algeria, for example, wants to build a new energy pipeline under the mediterranean that could help supply europe. we need to be working to sanction the russian energy sector and move europe away from their overreliance on russian energy. >> senator, we've been talking obviously about two hot wars going on right now, in the ukraine and in gaza. fair-minded people understand and appreciate the fact that the president can do his job from any point in the world, given the communications abilities today. but are you happy or at least dissatisfied with the president's travel schedule involving multiple fund-rai
