we were dying in ohio. they talk about the flyover state people didn't even look , down when they flew over ohio. we were $8 billion in the hole when i came in. we worked with members of the ohio house to try to address this problem. $8 billion in the hole of our budget. he calculated about 18% were in the hole. people said you need to raise taxes. i said that if you have a restaurant and don't have any customers, you can't raise prices. you have to cut prices and change the menu. we started digging into the entire budget. we kind of put the band back together. there were people who had worked for me for well over 20 years who said they wanted to be part of this. so we reengineered the state of ohio. and i saw some folks this morning from the aarp. you know what we did? we provided some of the most robust home health care in the country and said that if you are able to stay in your own home, you shouldn't be forced into a nursing home. if you need one, great. if you don't need one, stay in your own home wher

this is about protecting jobs when plants close in jackson ohio and waverly and st. st. clairesville, school districts lay off teachers, cities lay off cops and firefighters. we've been down this road too many times in this country. it's been more than 20 years since nafta. too many plants shut down in ohio, too many shut down in pennsylvania, too many shut down in the presiding officer's state of louisiana, too many good jobs shipped abroad and replaced in they're replaced at all with low-wage jobs with few benefits. bad trade deals exacerbate the rising inequality, middle class families struggle to get by. the it's all about corporate handouts and worker sellouts. over four decades worker productivity rose 75%, wages rose 9%. what that says, since -- since 1946 into the reagan years productivity went like this and workers were this much more productive and wages stayed parallel to that. since the reagan years as productivity went up, worker wages have been flat except for the 1%, the richest 1% saw their wages explode their salaries explode, everybody else lived in an e

in ohio we unfortunately had this issue in all of our regions including some of our smaller communities as well as bigger urban centers where we have sex trafficking and they say children when they get involved in this, the average age of getting involved in as is between 11 and 13 years old. we have talked a lot the last several days. i do not here talking about these issues. they are the most foldable against us. this is in the bill. if we pass this legislation this additional information and better awareness and training a child welfare agency officials better training for law enforcement and no one is all part of this to the legislation is increasing penalties on those involved in trafficking enough important because we haven't had a major bill on the floor for 15 years of his learned a lot in the process. there are better ways to give prosecutors and lon prosecutors and line force and the tools they need and stop this heinous crime. there's some really good provisions in legislation on a bipartisan basis. one is with senator feinstein with regard to penalties and the other legislat

not in ohio. with be proper medication and oversight people with mental illness can get their lives back. we can't afford to have 10,000 of these folks in our prisons. it makes no sense. drug addicted. 80% of our prison population has one form of addiction or another. take them from the prison setting and move them into the community with the same kind of he rehabilitation. we expect we will have a 10% recidivism rate for those. give them their lives back. for the working poor you work hard and you try to get a little raise and you know what they do they take your child care away from you. we have a bigger problem. we talk about marginal rates for the rich. think about marginal railtes for the poor. how do you work yourself out of a situation and the minute you get raise you lose your child care. you can't take the raise. we're changing that in ohio. we're raising the ability to get child care up to 300% of poverty so you can become independent. if dad is living in the home with kids and mom they l

in ohio, it's typically heroin now. and so it's keeping these young people really trapped in this dependency. and so the drug treatment and the drug recovery, it's always just a recovery from having been trafficked. this is an opportunity for us to take the information that we've received through this caucus that we formed. i think the members who are involved in that caucus, including all the members on the floor today would agree that it's been a good experience for our staff and for us to raise the awareness and consciousness of this issue. now we've taken some of this information and put it in legislation. let's get it passed. we're going to have plenty of time for politics around here, trust me. we'll have lots of that the next week and the week after and the next couple of years but there are certain issues where we should be able to move forward on a bipartisan basis. i thank my colleague from texas for allowing me to speak briefly and my colleagues from south dakota and illinois who are here to talk about this i

in getting this good work done. to help the most vulnerable among us. >> mr. president i thank the senator from ohio for his leadership on these issues. he has worked hard and long to address them in bring us to the point where and today i want to emphasize one point he made at the beginning and that is the average age of the people who are targeted for human trafficking are girls between the age of 12 to 14. so this is a very vulnerable part of our country and i know we get wrapped up we get wrapped around the axle about procedure about politics, about a lot of different issues that we have to be keeping our focus on them on the victims these children, these girls who are the hapless victims of these and johnson are the people that make money selling their bodies. we have to be trying to figure out what we can do to help them. they are the ones who are going to be the real loser if we get so balled up around here because of all the political maneuvers that we take our eye off the ball. that is why our friends at the coalition against trafficking women talked about a phantom problem over real victim

you've done it in ohio. tude with so many issues. >> i have to work with the legislator. in most cases, i have to be -- i can codo executive orders once in a while. you have to be care fl running around the legislator. that's your board of directors and you have to work with them. you don't have to cave into them. >> a lot of speculation around you. what are you going to do? going to throw your hat in the ring for 2016? >> i haven't been wearing a hat lately. i don't know. all options are on the table. i've been around for a long time. running for president is a sobering thought. the question is, in many ways my family, friends -- in a funny sort of way not funny but real, what does the lord want me to do with my life? i've got to figure that out. i don't know it yet. i have to figure it out. i'm tral ago all over the place, having fun doing it. it's a lot different. 16 years ago i went to in malpractice and thought i could be president. i was standing in the kitchen with this lady carrying on a conversation.

you know what we have done in ohio? we have reached those people who have unfortunately lived in the shadows for far too long. john: that is not the kind of talk we hear from many republican potentials. do you think he will get in? is there room for john kasich in this crowded field? mark: i think it is a possibility. there is room for him in this race.

and, in our signature segment from ohio: thieves stealing valuable metal, and putting the public in danger. >> the would-be-thieves climbed up and cut the line. when an s.u.v. got too close, there was a bright flash that blew out the windshield and knocked the driver unconscious. >> sreenivasan: next on pbs newshour weekend. >> pbs newshour weekend is made possible by: corporate funding is provided by mutual of america-- designing customized individual and group retirement products. that's why we are your retirement company. additional support is provided by: and by the corporation for public broadcasting and by contributions to your pbs station from viewers like you. thank you. from the tisch wnet studios in lincoln center in new york hari sreenivasan. >> thanks for joining us. the fight over funding for the department of homeland security starts all over again on capitol hill tomorrow. congress has given itself until midnight friday to come up with some kind of agreement. but the rift among republicans continues to endanger any deal. a contingent of house republicans is refusing to fund

the west was up in ohio, pennsylvania, that area. we wanted to connect its part to the chesapeake bay. and the piece of the canal from the 1870's -- there were about 15 or 20 boats waiting at the loft. at the peak of its, there were 15 or 20 boats operational on the can now. those are obviously not courses. a lot of people use them for horses and donkeys. they are a combination of the two. but a very special combination. the male is going to be the donkey. and the female is the mare. you need a female or send a mail. d. if you did at the other way, you would get something that is called a henney, and they do not have the same working genes that we want our meals to have on the canal, so we decided meals would the -- mules would be a better fit for us. all through history, you have the use of horses. the pony express, wagons. they were used for various things. the question that usually comes up, why are the mules here instead of forces? there are various reasons for that. you can sell there are -- you can tell there are various reason

i brought you the finest dry sludge in ohio. i understand you have a use for it. >> i do, and we do make a fine sludge in ohio. we make paint out of it. it's the same kind of paint used for centuries and it's a brutally simple process. this is a glass muller. essentially, we take a pile of this sludgy pigment then we take this, which is an alkali refined linseed oil and work from the center out. it's going to feel like you need to put pressure into it. work it. work it. work it harder. >> nicely done, phil. >> how does this stack up to something you buy at a store. >> you wouldn't notice the difference. >> what was the first time you painted with this pigment? >> it was a disaster. it broke up, the binder wasn't right, crystals were do big. it ended up a nice dirt pile. i don't control it at all. that's a good lesson. you have to respond to that, like a science. >> he refind the pigment process and inspired a series of paintings using the acid mined pigment. they're priced at several thousand dollars each, but priceless in the m

in ohio the legislature there is lightning fast passing a bill that would tell every college kid in theho is legally allowed to vote in ohio if they go to school no matter where they are from originally, it would tell all those college students they cannot register to vote unless they also register their car in ohio and get a new ohio driver's license which happens to cost a ton of motor and which most out of state college kids never do. you want to vote you young probably democratic leaning voter, then pay up. democrats are rallying against this. they are calling on john casic to line item this veto. given his voting rates he will probably not veto it. while this student poll tax is heading to his desk where he has been this weeks is not in ohio. try new hampshire. presumably, john casic, too, is running for president on the basis of how he has cut down the number of voters in his swing state. red state govern oars will be testing the attractiveness of cutting back on voting as a lot of them who have done so in their states run for presidents. the other difference is this year there is

at the same time his record in ohio is remarkable. he was reelected land year in a landslide, a 30-point victory over the democrat in ohio. ohio is the premier general election battleground state in the country. for a republican governor to be running there, it could be good for the republican party to win the buckeye state. he balanced the budget in his state. the last time that the u.s. government's federal budget was balanced, it was john kasich who wrote it, with bill clinton and newt gingrich. he also has a mouth. he can be pretty brash. he tells people what he thinks. that impressed voters today, but it could turn off voters and work to backfire. >> sounds like a talk show host to me. we'll be checking in throughout the campaign. thanks for being with us. >> you bet. >>> yesterday, kentucky senator rand paul said republicans in order to grow the party should not just toss out, quote, red meat. instead, he said members of the gop should offer something, quote intellectually enticing. here to explain more, the man himself, kentucky

for example being in ohio specifically, i think everybody needs to be aware of what the malls -- laws in their state for example marijuana -- not medical marijuana, marijuana is decriminalized in ohio. what that means is to a certain amount, i want is three ounces. it is not considered a criminal offense he cuts it is decriminalized. you don't necessarily have to have a medical marijuana program to have that security that you will not be a criminal for possessing marijuana in small quantities. access to marijuana is a huge issue for veterans, even here in d.c. where medical marijuana is legal and available. veterans have a hard time accessing the treatment. they are patients at the v.a. and they don't receive consultation from the position -- from the positions regarding the use of medical marijuana. i have veterans that call quite often and they received our information do our out the -- our outreach efforts and it is not even a discussion that they are able to have it that the a. i think that is one of the things that is really critical in our business focus is on getting that infor

[ applause ] just scoot right on out. i want kids. i just don't know if i have time to come home and let them out. it's something you have to consider, you know. my mom is still home in ohio. she's very uncomfortable with anything sexual. i think it's because she's a virgin. she's been with sprint for the last 70 years and she had this little jitterbug flip phone thing that stopped working so she took it to the sprint store and was like, "my phone is broken." "and they were like, "you dropped it." she said, "i never." my mom didn't drop it. she keeps it in her quilt purse wrapped in a quilt, in another quilt. her phone rings and she's like, "see ya later!" "hello!?!" and then no one's there. so mom asked, "how much is it to replace?" and they said, "$200." and she said, "i paid $29." they were like, "well, with the rebate and everything --" so she goes, "i just need to go home and think about it." which only a 63 year old wo
