then, there is ohio. let me take a moment to recognize and take my amazing lieutenant-governor houston, and his wife tina. tina, stand up. john is doing transformational's things for our state through innovate ohio. innovate ohio's issue is to look through every state service to the eyes of our customers. ohio citizens, our job creators, innovate ohio will take a leading role in technology projects across our state. it will corneille projects across our administration, across our administration to use data to change the way we solve problems. already, already innovate ohio is working. already, innovate ohio is working to better collect and use data across agencies, and important areas, involving the opioid a crisis, a lot more is coming. i want to talk again about a couple more areas where we simply must invest. we need to invest more in our great state parks, our preserves, and natural areas. these god-given gifts are such an important part of what makes ohio so special. what makes ohio so unique, and tr

it serves as economic development at the ohio state university joining us from columbus, ohio and on trade issues. good morning. your university put out a report looking at the economic impact on the trade skirmish of 2018 in ohio and statewide. we hear the term trade war a lot. what does that mean for those who live in ohio? guest: it is confusing. payingufacturers are retaliatory tariffs are complaining about costs, but employment remains robust and employers are trying to fill positions. thehe background, you have tragedy for northeast ohio with the closure of a plant. there is a feeling the economy is beginning to shift. int: of the things produced ohio, what is directly affected because of the ongoing trade differences? guest: ohio has the largest exposure to retaliatory tariffs and the largest payer of retaliatory tariffs ironically are the metals-making industry. users out of canada are the largest exporter of metals in the united states. the largest is dealing with issues of aluminum because really the only aluminum importers left are in the eastern and central part of north

the thing about ohio that people don't realize is what's really driven the ohio economy has been -- ohioow the epicenter of the natural gas revolution. the shale revolution that's going on in ohio has completely transformed that state. you know, ohio, pennsylvania, west virginia now combined produce more natural gas than any place in the world. it's why this green new deal is such a dingbat idea. we're producing more energy than ever before and we're going to shut it down. yes, some plants are closing, but manufacturing is booming in ohio because energy is so cheap there. >> we could spend the entire time debating the green new deal and i actually want to have you back to do that but it's about what's happening to our climate. we'll totally get to it. >> it's a big part of it. >> but it's not this conversation. here's my question for you. as much as you like the president and his economic policies, i know that. you advised him on all things economy, you wrote a book about it. >> he doesn't always take my advice. >> i have a hard time believing you are in favor of the president demanding

the people of ohio, they like trump because i've done a great job in ohio.try. that's with the people want to hear. [reporters asking questions] [indistinct question] >> president trump: i know nothing about it. i know that he's conflicted and i know that his best friend is commie, who is a bad cop i know there are over things, obviously. i had a business transaction with him that i have reported many times, that you people don't talk about. but i had a nasty business transaction with him, and other things. i know that he put 15 highly-conflicted and very angry -- i call them angry democrats -- in. so, let's see whether or not it's legit. you know better than anybody there is no collusion. there was no collusion, there was no obstruction, there was no nothing. but it's sort of an amazing thing that when you have a great victory, someone comes in and is a report out of nowhere. tell me how that makes sense. who never got a vote. who, the day before, he was retained to become special counsel, i told him he would be working at the fbi. in the following day they

the last president to win without ohio was jfk. is ohio no longer a bellwether?don't think it actually is. the governor's race, mike dewine easily wins. and if you take the cumulative house vote, it's very different from michigan, wisconsin, iowa,s rest of the midwest states. it looks like they're holding on to that status, but ohio not really. >> do you think that priorities usa is hinting at something here, that ohio is now trump country? >> i think they are. i think they recognize if they get to 270 there's better pathways than going through ohio. if you look at the 2016 results, you saw him winning there by eight points. it could be a closer race in 2020, but other states will get candidates to that threshold first. >> i'm remembering hillary clinton was criticized i think rightly and mercilessly for not going to states like wisconsin enough, for example. can democrats really afford to take any state off the table? >> i wouldn't take states off the table, right? but from a mathematical point of view, there are better places to put your money than ohio. >> you

helpful to him in ohio or elsewhere? >> not helpful that the plant is closing, but he's as a strong advocate for it. no president will keep every plant open everywhere. the president made it clear where his sympathies lie. ohio is having -- i won't say an explosion but steady growth in manufacturing jobs. that's one of the reasons why the state remains so republican in 2018. democrats hoped to take the governorship and the republicans kept the legislature by large margins and kept their congressional seats. a state red in 2016 and redder today in large part because of the president's success. >> dana: can't rest. have to keep going to ohio. we'll see the 2020 candidates there as well. want to ask you about something the president said. it's the controversy about kellyanne conway and her husband, the tweets going back and forth. the president finally weighing in. take a watch. >> he's a whack job. there's no question about it. i really don't know him. i think he's doing a tremendous disservice to a wonderful wife. kellyan

as an experiment by the state of ohio the people of the state of ohio should be appalled and what was done here today in their name. simply believe because it's exactly what. i don't know what this means going forward maybe the governor is rightly appalled at what just happened decides that he's going to start a reprieve. or commuting sentences or you know i don't know. and the only failure is you as a lawyer want to buy the saw so you should perish the same way typical lawyer. loto know people pretty straight and blows their own in an opinion when you cannot point to your own reality and the results are in the experiment was a fail and i think we're talking about exactly what we argued dennis mcguire was going to suffocate to death and that that was going to be terrifying and horrifying for him to experience. they need terror of watching my day so for more than eighteen the. know what cruel and unusual punishment is when this is nearly every joy sister says she knows her sister suffered terror in pain when she was raped sodomized choked and killed by dennis mcguire she says he was tr

look at ohio right now.ce the president took office, construction adding almost 13,000 job, manufacturing adding 17,000 jobs and auto industry down 400 net ones and let's show you that in more detail. if you're a democrat you say mr. president, you promised to keep those jobs and it went down and it jumped back up and now it's down a little bit. net it's up since the administration. overall there are pockets of stress and a lot of farming in ohio. it's a big, diverse state that's what makes it so interesting. overall, the president has a pretty good story to tell. >> it does suggest an inherrent weakness of the president's case for himself. remember, ohio in 2018 overperformed republicans did there than they did throughout the rest of the country. this again, should be a place where the president should be strong. this is sort of the bull work for him, not like the other midwestern sites like pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin and yet this is where he's going first. it does sort of suggest that his team re

guest: well, ohio has the largest exposure to retaliatory tariffs in the u.s. and canada, and the largest prepare of retaliatory tariffs is the metal industry itself, so met metallurgist users, and the shipments up medals up to canada is an increasing cost and giving a supply chain problems. the largest is dealing with the issue of aluminum, because aluminum is in the eastern and central part of north america are all often quÉbec, because aluminum prices are different, and it is the thatof keeping electricity keeps the filters going, and if you just think about the brand-new all aluminum bat of the fort f-150, hitting with a 25% higher cost, that makes your teeth ache a little bit. taking a look at these issues, what were you setting to do? to knowe really wanted what the economic impact was in the nation and then looks physically at ohio itself. we wanted to look at how the steel industry in particular was reacting to the shelter of the tariffs and whether employment was expanding, production was expanding, running that seth, by the way, and not much had happe

john: we are here in ohio .. i am amazed -- back when my children were little, we collected the state quarter series. when you look at ohio, there is an outline of the state, and there is the wright brothers flyer, an astronaut walking, neil i'm assuming -- we have a bright past and also a bright future in ohio. we have the surface module for the orion spacecraft coming from ohio. things: you talk about -- what i call the observatory that we hope will be operated out of ohio state, and will be billed here. -- built here. in cleveland, you are talking about the glenn research center, the foremost in the world when it comes to propulsion, small engines and propulsion and all kinds of things. the state of ohio is a big leader. john: another a. charles: aeronautics is critical. john: ohio is the number one supplier to airbus and boeing. ge engines, wright-patterson air force base -- i think we have a bright future in terms of our ability to contribute to what is about to happen. we will segue into some questions. we

. -- in ohio.griculture is clearly one place where we know where the losers are. host: let's hear from mark in massachusetts. caller: good morning. professor, with regard to nafta and the renegotiation of basically the same deal from -- it, do you think it is trybe -- why wouldn't you to strengthen nafta with american industry and mexico being a huge emerging-market and then instead you have trump alienated everyone at the same time -- alienating everyone at the same time? usmca ore u.s. -- itta 2 or some people call the village people's trade treaty, it is very similar to the original nafta document. there have been some changes made so there is a larger percentage of parts made with labor. the important thing is the market is already doing this. i was at a meeting yesterday with 40 supply chain managers and they are doing what was already started which is global companies are tired of dealing with currency fluctuations and a number of people in the room believe that while these tariffs may be rol

they don't get ohio values.y won't win ohio or the presidential election if they keep talking about socialism, the green new deal. it will take jobs away, it is not about economic prosperity, national security. those are the issues ohioans are talking about. and quite frankly the democrats are talking about infanticide which is abhorrent to most people in ohio. they don't like that and won't vote for them. >> jon: the economy is on fire right now. best economy we've had in generations, unemployment at record low, especially among some minority groups. are you surprised, given that, that the president's poll ratings aren't higher than they are? >> well, i mean look, every day the president gets a barrage of negative news. i tell you, the numbers that come out from the polling that says 71% of americans think the economy is good. we have record low unemployment. wages are rising 3.4%. i travel around the state of ohio, one of the biggest complaints is they just don't have enough workers. lieutenant governor and th

for coming to our plant in lima, ohio. as a former army m-1 taker, i can honestly say that we make the best tank in the entire world. [applause] jay: thank you, mr. president. jay: our workers here are very proud to be making such a fine product for our soldiers to have the benefits, this capabilities -- best capabilities on the battlefield. and thanks to our great president, his military and economic policies have rejuvenated this facility to increase production of armored vehicles and hiring of more skilled workers. and finally, it is my personal opinion that god was looking after our country when you were elected. [cheers] [applause] jay: mr. president, thank you for everything you have done. [cheers and applause] pres. trump: wow. thank you. thank you. that is so nice, i appreciate it. you never know what you get when you come out and it is live, but you couldn't do better than that, right? that is great. thank you, fellows. that is great. i want to also thank all of the patriots here today, your mind -- you remind us

the people of ohio like trump because i've done a great job in ohio.done a great job all over the country. that is what the people want to hear. are you saying bob mueller is a bad actor? is canrump: i know he flipped it -- i know he is conflicted and his best friend is comey, who is a bad cop. i do business transaction with him that i reported many times that you people do not talk about. i had a nasty business transaction with him and other things. i know he put 13 highly conflicted and angry democrats in. what it is. let's see whether it is legit. you know better than anybody there is no collusion, there was no obstruction. there was no nothing. it is an amazing thing that when you have a great victory, somebody comes in, does a report out of nowhere? tell me how that makes sense. who the day before, he was retained to become special counsel, i told him he would not be working at the fbi. then the following day they get him for this? i don't think so. i don't think people get it. i look forward to seeing the report. >> once you have an agreement wit

the president of course won ohio after promising to bring back manufacturing jobs. today he spoke at the country's last factory that makes tanks for the army in lima, ohio. the factory had been on the decline, but it is now growing as a result of the trump's administration increase in the military budget. >> you better love me. i kept that place open. they said we're closing it. and i said, no, we're not. >> but it only took a few minutes for the president to go off the rails and distract from his own message by launching an unprompted attack on a deceased war hero. >> they ask me about a man named john mccain, and if you want me to tell you about it. should i or not? i have to be honest, i have never liked him much. hasn't been for me. i've really probably never will. i gave him the kind of funeral that he wanted, which as president i had to approve. i don't care about this. i didn't get thank you. that's okay. we sent him on the way, but i wasn't a fan of john mccain. >> i didn't get thank you, but that's okay. the president dedicated almost five minutes of his sp
