pilgrim, which first took to the air from akron, ohio, in 1925 was the first of the modern goodyear blimps, advertising blimps, that everybody sees and loves today. and all of them began with this little craft, room for a pilot, couple of passengers. and in those days a mechanic to worry about the engine. but this little blimp, pilgrim, made thousands of flights and was really the thing that launched the modern enthusiasm for goodyear blimps that you see at sporting occasions and parades and all kinds of places. goodyear had built airships, blimps, during world war i for coastal patrol for the navy and for the army as well. before the war, they had thought about the commercial uses for lighter than aircraft or blimps. and so after the war, they thought they would produce this little demonstrator and see how it went, see if people were interested and that kind of thing. and people were incredibly interested. every place a blimp would show up people would congregate. so goodyear then and goodyear now saw the blimp as great advertising, as a way to keep their name before the public in a reall

and what is key in akron, was the world class polymer research that hat given us things like contact lenses that change colors when you have diabetes. and i can disyou a hundreds more like that. they now have a thousand little polymer companies that have more people working for them than before all tire companies. that's what i mean by changes. and so you have life-threatening situation, universities, it's always universities centric. each of these rust belts, becoming brain belts, have universities with world-class research. they're dealing with the problems of our century. they're no longer simple problem. s. they're complex, expensive challenges that require multidisciplinary approaches. there's an openness forced by reality, by necessity to share brain power. they have a connector. and they have an infrastructure that attracts and retains them. and by the way, that infrastructure includes affordable housing. that is why people move from, let's say, silicon valley to other places like pittsburgh or akron or whatever. so, finally, of course, you need access to capital. these are th

candidly, of immigrants coming in here and taking jobs away from folks in cleveland and buffalo and akron, ohio. i think the insecurities of people from their job perspective, awe mayization of their jobs. as we're speaking there's an active shooting situation going on in germany. that plays right into the fears and the message that was put forward. >> that's the base. i think that's the question, is that a message that gets forward to the people that trump does need to win over? i do think that you heard a lot of coded language this week about that base about a lot of people who do feel that this country is not the place that maybe their parents grew up in. but again, i think it's going to be interesting to see at a convention this week where we saw a lot of anger at hillary clinton, the lock 'em chant became the mantra, what do democrats do to push back on that? are they going to look at this from a sort of peer perspective or go back to 2008 with this message of hope? there's a lot happening between the two. >> the republican party needs more women voters, more nonwhite voters. is that

we believe there are 200,000 people who are addicted in ohio, the size of the city of akron.e cause of dent accidental death, surpassing car accidents. as you know, in new york state, some of the same issues have occurred. this is something that has to be addressed in a more comprehensive way and in a different way. legislation i've been pushing basically says let's divert people from the criminal justice system into treatment. let's be much more aggressive on the prevention and education. you mentioned prescription drugs. four out of five heroin addicts probably started with prescription drugs. many of those, chris, started with getting a painkiller. i have two families have come to me in ohio, i've been working on this for over two decades now, and i have people come up to me and talk to me. two families have come to say their teenager got a prescription drug for extraction of a wisdom tooth that led to an addiction that led to heroin, that led to that young man and young woman dying. so i mean, we do have to deal with this prescription issue. part of the legislation has a

in talking about a triangle between cleveland, youngstown, and akron. that area. there is fertile ground for him. there may be fertile ground for him in the southern part of the state, which has been viewed as more conservative, the cincinnati area, hamilton, butler counties, for example. those of the places where i think he can make headway. he has an very well in all of the states where there are large populous of people on disability. what that tells me is that people who feel like they have gotten a raw deal, either in the economy, war in life, are looking at donald trump as a possible way out of their bad circumstances. as a lot of that going on in ohio. less than in other states, but i think ohioans view themselves in general as put upon by the economy. host: we've been talking to other reporters about the ground game and the infrastructure. does mr. trump have that in order to capitalize on these areas of the state? guest: the ground game is lacking for him. my think the clinton ground game is going to be strongly, especially in the urban counties. i think

russia, if you see a man changing a truck tire along the highway, it is going to say kelly springfield, akron, ohio. host: ok, bob. caller: if you go to a coal mine, you are going to see mining inclement made in pennsylvania. wake up, america. you are being lied to. host: i am trying to find out, he says he has studied russia. i wanted to find out if he has been there. guest: i cannot agree more with the idea that you should speak russian. one of the challenges i think we have in the united states is after the end of the cold war, we basically abandoned our investment in russian expertise. we said, well, this conflict is over, so now we need to learn about the arab world or east asia or so forth. it troubles me how often i am interacting with folks at senior levels of the u.s. government who have response ability to that part of the world who have either of you that has almost been frozen in carbonite for 25 years, and all of a sudden, ok, we have to do the cold war again, or they just have never been there i do not know anything about the place. host: what about the pipeline of people coming

game -- began from akron to cleveland, it went through the canal port in cleveland. by 1832 the entire system ran through to portsmouth. it made a tremendous difference. as a nation it allowed us to rationalize the economy and have internal trade. prior to that all of those exporting,nded on and terms of making money and delivering goods and services. it helps america expand westward . by doing so i mentioned, new york city became the financial capital of the country. rises from a wilderness to become the third most populous and richest state in the union by the 1860's. in canals, boats generally went four or five miles per hour. we are standing next to a lock right now. there have been numerous ones to allow those boats to navigate the train and typography. these began kind -- these became kinds of watered elevators. oftentimes you would find cattle and people sleeping in the same boat. some were travelers, some were goods being delivered. it's a pretty hectic little life. predominantly the good sailor moves along the canal. especially from all ohio eastward were gr

now, maybe 50 miles down the road is akron. journalthe akron begin -- beacon journal.hey have an article about the protests. hundreds rally peacefully downtown. takes up rouge story most of the page. medina,tte is out of ohio. it has the protest on the top that took place on sunday. then an article about the 1936 cleveland convention. that is when house landon was .ominated for those remember, senator nancy kassebaum, that was her father. she was married to senator howard baker intel his death. -- until his death. two articles on cleveland on the side. the protest and an article about the ohio gop delegates are iffy about trump is the headline. here is usa today, trump a nation they say. they have someone from every state who is supporting donald trump. it has their stories inside. here is the chicago tribune. their front page as the convention gets started this summer. a couple of tweets. brian from the wall street journal. this is a sign that he saw. says spotted at the rnc in cleveland. i'm told it is being replaced for obvious reasons. naacpor kasich was at the con

last week in just one 36-hour period in akron, ohio, 20 people overdosed on opioids. three of them fatally. that's not even two days in one city. when the first responders arrived at one of the overdoses, by the way, there were two small children present. in central ohio, in columbus, nine people overdosed, two fatally on yo sunday. in one city in one day. two occurred at mcdonald z's' with families around. twras in broad daylight. we lost prince to a fentanyl overdose. you might not know that this week chak a a khan entered intoa treatment facility. i want to commend her. this will help others to do the same thing. god bless you for doing it. i think this is sadly an instructive case, because much like prince, she has fame, she has fortune, 10 number-one hit songs, all of the talent you could ever ask for. most people would say, those are the kind of people who get addicted. addiction knows no zip code. addiction spares no one. it affects people of every single background. mr. president, if you talk to people in ohio, they get it. ohioans understand the scope of this

we were just talking -- this guy is from akron, ohio, by the way.acked with the police. they've done a great job. one protester did say -- you know, the republicans are screwing up their own convention, you know? everything from the speech that donald trump's wife gave to ted cruz. so, listen, we'll let them screw the convention up on their own. they're doing a fine job of it. but other people think today this could be the day that people are waiting for. there's a big protest march and then here in the city square, there's going to be a big rally tonight when donald trump speaks. right now, though, i think they've got a great crowd control measure. turn the water on. this will clear people out of the square. if it gets much hotter, i might walk in it myself, though. it's pretty hot out. stuart: i don't mean to be premature, maybe we'll see significant protest activity later on today, and i'm sure you're there to cover it. so only time will tell, and we shall wait and see. thanks, jeff. we'll see you later. check that big board. we're just hovering

out and people who had great lives, marshall fudge who is presiding over this convention was from akron where you could put kids through high school and college and those days are gone and they might have a job at ray yo sha -- radio shack and now it's closed. >> let's talk about party unit. ignore what you're seeing in the streets they are saying, how close is the democratic t convention to the ideal of unit? >> i think the most important nt thing to remember is you have e two of the most unpopular candidates, i think we have to come back to that which is even within their own party they have some higher negatives than you would suspect. now hillary clinton however is s doing much better just in terms of the way she gos viewed within her party versus the way donaldl trump is viewed within his party. so she starts in and out a better place right there, but the fact of the matter is there is still this real issue about -- i think it's two things, one, even within her own party people don't like or trust her and the second part is what she needs to do in this o convention is tellÑi us who

germany facing the microcredit is good to want us in akron and were involved in a over new year's thosen. lieutenant colonel oliver north weighing in on donald trump. could a military man the hot chocolate in the white house? the colonel joins us next. liz: remember "varney & company" starts at 9:00 a.m. eastern time. here's what you missed last hour. ralph peters family hour. stuart: can he unite the nation? >> no. what the chattering classes in the washington press corps cares what the president had. i truly feel americans have written them off. it's not a conscious decision. they have squandered opportunities and tragically failed president dave. the expectations for his visit to dallas are very low. stuart: the rally hold the dow industrial now up 87-point and rising to 18,234. that is where we are within shouting distance of the all-time high for the dow. the all-time closing high was 18,212. we are less than 100 points away from the record closing high for the dow industrials. it is monday morning after a tumultuous week. the dow is way up and rising still. donald trump has been l

. >>> just down the road is akron, ohio, that's the home of jonathan morris.on. good morning, sharon. >> good morning. >> we also have liam, james and maeve. good morning, kids. how are you? >> three of my 17 nieces and nephews. >> cooking with friends. where did this get started, sharon? >> well, my husband and i had this plan of family spending time together. so every saturday night for about 25 years we had the family -- they had to be there for dinner saturday night. >> yeah. that wasn't the fun part. >> no. we're a close family, so it worked out. but we had -- we started out with a nice relaxing part of just having wine and cheese. >> hello. >> and holla bread. >> he has wine and cheese once a week. >> what if someone said we're getting married on a saturday, did you postpone the family night? >> if we don't start cooking soon, we'll run into the break. >> what do we do next? >> you braid it, right? >> you raise it in the oven, things like that then you braid it and maeve is going to braid the small one because we put a small one on top of a large one. >>

from akron, avid ohio on the democratic line. i just wanted to mention are sampledd copper the instructions for sampling water sit dormant six hours and sample so you under the worst case scenario if you will. ne thing that consumers can do is before they use the water i hink you mentioned a couple of callers earlier you can flush the line and make sure you don't from warm water, only cold water. get moneyor infrastructure i would suggest losing tax loopholes and diverting foreign aid money for the vital need we have in u.s.a. uest: as to the testing, it is true the way that you are supposed to do it is you are inposed to let the water sit your pipes for six hours and then you test what is called the first draw. the worst case scenario. frankly, i think a lot of us coffee in the morning or the first thing we do out ke the water straight of the kitchen faucet. how many of us flush the system three minutes before we use this water? very few of us. worst case st the scenario it is a pretty likely scenar scenario. if you want to make
