>> AND WELCOME BACK
BETWEEN BELL.
>> IN 2018 DEMOCRATS EXPERIENCE
SOMETHING RELATIVELY UNKNOWN TO
PARTY POLITICS IN THE 21TH
CENTURY. A MASSIVE SLEW OF
YOUNG VOTERS HIT THE BALLOT BOX
AS 2020 APPROACHES WITH THE
DEBATE TONIGHT. JETER CAN
CAUGHT UP WITH 2 STUDENTS FROM
OHIO, ONE A PROGRESSIVE ONE A
CONSERVATIVE. CASEY RIFE IS THE
PRESIDENT TURBINE UNIVERSITY
STUDENT BODY. SHE IS A
REGISTERED DEMOCRAT AND SHE
STARTED BY ASKING CASEY WHAT
SHE LOOKS FORWARD TO AT THE
DEBATE TONIGHT.
>> WE'RE WILLING TO GRANT TO A
SMALLER CAMPUS IN IT'S KIND OF
THE FIRST DEBATE IN CENTRAL
OHIO. SO IT'S REALLY COOL THAT
THEY PICKED OTTERBEIN SET AS
YOU ARE WITH
YOUR SCHOOLS.
>> YEAH AND WHAT DO YOU THINK
THERE FOR YOURSELF OR A LOT OF
THE OTHER COLLEAGUES WHO ARE
YOUR AGE WHERE THEY'RE MOST
LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING
EITHER OUT OF THE DEBATE
SPECIFICALLY TOMORROW BUT
REALLY FOR MANY OF THESE
CANDIDATES WANT TO BE
PRESIDENT.
>> PERSONALLY I'M REALLY
EXCITED TO HEAR WHAT
♪
>> THEY HAVE TO SAY ABOUT
CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE GREEN NEW
DEAL.
GUN CONTROL IMMIGRATION A LOT
OF THOSE HOT TOPICS RIGHT I'M
REALLY EXCITED TO SEE WHAT THEY
HAVE TO SAY AND HOW THEY PLAN
TO HELP A MAKE AMERICA BETTER.
>> THIS IS A STATE THAT DID
VOTE FOR
DONALD TRUMP. DO YOU HAVE A LOT
OF THE THEIR PEERS OF YOURS
♪
ON YOUR OWN COLLEGE CAMPUS, YOU
KNOW A LOT OF YOUNGER
FIRST-TIME VOTERS WHO ARE
SUPPORTIVE OF THE CURRENT
PRESIDENT.
>> I
WOULD PERSONALLY SAY I DON'T
KNOW TOO MANY MYSELF, BUT THERE
ARE A LOT OF MIXED OPINIONS ARE
BUYING WERE A VERY DIVERSE
SCHOOL WITH LOTS OF
OPINIONS AND I'M HAVING THESE
CRITICAL CONVERSATIONS IN
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT WHAT'S
GOING ON IN THE COUNTRY ARE
REALLY IMPORTANT.
>> THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF
DEMOCRATS CERTAINLY LOOK AT THE
MASSIVE ARRAY OF THOSE WHO ARE
RUNNING FOR THE OFFICE OF THE
PRESIDENCY, THEY DON'T THINK
THAT ANY ONE SPECIFIC TYPE
OF CATEGORY WHO IS DO YOU THINK
AMONG THE MORE POPULAR AMONGST
TO COLLEGE INTEREST A
DEMOCRATIC VOTER.
>> I THINK ELIZABETH WARREN'S
REALLY POPULAR AMONG YOUNGER
PEOPLE RIGHT NOW AND SHE'S KIND
OF I FEEL LIKE SHE'S GAINING A
LOT OF TRACTION AMONG PEOPLE
WHO SUPPORTED BERNIE IN THE
LAST ELECTION.
>> AND THERE ARE THERE SPECIFIC
THOUGHTS THAT YOU HEAR
FREQUENTLY THE DISCUSSED IN
YOUR CIRCLES ABOUT SOME OF
THESE OTHER CANDIDATES LIKE A
PEOPLE TO JUDGE THE MERITS AT
IN INDIANA ARE CENTER KAMEL
HARRIS DID NOT QUITE AT THE A
TOP TOP TIER, THE DEMOCRATS,
BUT THEY'RE STILL A
♪
COMPETITIVE SPOT.
>> I REALLY LIKE BOTH OF THOSE
CANDIDATES AS I THINK PEOPLE
JUDGE IS THAT THEN TURN OUT TO

>> BE KATE Q ISSUES IS REALLY
IMPORTANT AND I LIKE WHAT HE
BRINGS TO THE TABLE
AND I'VE HEARD LESS ABOUT
KAMALA HARRIS. BUT I REALLY
LIKE OR HOW CONFIDENT.
>> ARE YOU THAT NO MATTER WHO
THE NOMINEE IS HE OR SHE WILL
BE ABLE TO BEAT DONALD TRUMP
NOT JUST HERE IN OHIO, BUT
EVERYWHERE IT'S A
♪
>> TOUGH CHALLENGE.
>> IT'S DEFINITELY A FEAR THAT
THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO
I THINK I'M PRETTY CONFIDENT
IN THE YOUNG WELL IN THE
POLITICAL
♪
ACTIVISM THAT'S KIND OF BEEN ON
THE RISE IN YOUNG PEOPLE
RECENTLY THAT THEY'LL BRING IT.
COME ELECTION DAY AND THAT WILL
HOPEFULLY. HELP US OUT IN
THE FUTURE.
>> YEAH, WHETHER IT'S GUN
REFORM OR CLIMATE WHITE THING
SO MANY YOUNG AMERICANS A LOT
OF FIRST-TIME VOTERS REALLY ARE
SO MOVE THEY
ARE MOTIVATED TO BECOME FAR
MORE POLITICALLY ENGAGED THAN
PERHAPS PREVIOUS GENERATIONS
ERE WHEN THEY WERE THEIR AGE
BECAUSE IT'S OUR FUTURE ON
THE LINE.
>> A CLIMATE CHANGE WHAT'S
GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE
THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY IS
GUN CONTROL WHETHER THE
SHOOTINGS AND MASS SHOOTINGS
ARE JUST GOING TO GET OR
WHETHER WE CAN ACTUALLY DO
SOMETHING
TO STOP THEM AND PUT
LEGISLATION IN PLACE THAT WILL
ACTUALLY HELP
OUR COUNTRY.
>> ONE FINAL QUESTION FOR YOU
HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE
WATCHING WHO ARE ABOUT YOUR AGE
THEY'RE IN COLLEGE OR THEY'RE
AROUND THAT THAT
AGE GROUP WHAT WOULD YOUR
MESSAGE BE TO THEM SPECIFICALLY
HEAD OF THE 2020 ELECTION
EITHER IN FAVOR OF US WHO HAVE
A SPECIFIC ALREADY OR ARE
REALLY ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF
BEING INVOLVED.
>> YEAH I THINK THE IMPORTANCE
OF VOTING AND MAKING YOUR VOICE
HEARD IS SO IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW
NOT
JUST IN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS,
BUT EVERY LOCAL AND STATE
ELECTIONS ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT
AND THAT I'M MAKING YOUR VOICE
HEARD AND USING.
♪
DO YOUR CIVIC DUTY, A DUTY IS
REALLY IMPORTANT.
>> ALL RIGHT, SO THAT'S ONE
SIDE THEN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF
THE AISLE O IS AL ALAM
CORRESPONDED WITH CAMPUS REFORM
AND STUDENT OVER AT THE OHIO
STATE UNIVERSITY. JD ASTOR
DISCUSS WHAT SHE'S LOOKING
FORWARD TO HEARING FROM
DEMOCRATS TONIGHT.
>> I THINK WHAT I'M REALLY
LOOKING FORWARD TO ARE A COUPLE
ISSUES TO BE TALKED TO
IMMIGRATION WOULD BE ONE
OF THEM. I THINK YOU SAW ON
TRUMP'S LAST A RALLY THAT HE
HAD HE REALLY TOUCHED A LOT OF
IMMIGRATION ARE LOOKING TO SEE
THEIR RESPONSE TO SOME OF THE
COMMENTS HE MADE.
>> YOU ALSO
PARTICULARLY CAUGHT BIDEN AND
ONE COMMENTS I'M LOOKING TO SEE
IF MAYBE BIDEN IS GOING TO
RESPOND TO THAT
AND THE DIFFERENT ALLEGATIONS
WITH HIS SON HUNTER.
AND HOW HE'S GOING TO RESPOND
TO THAT WITH IN A DEBATE
SETTING. AND THEN SOME
OTHER ISSUES I LIKE FOR THEM TO
GET SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT
ABORTION. I DON'T THINK IT'S
BEEN BROUGHT UP AS MUCH IN THE
DEBATES, MOSTLY BECAUSE I THINK
THEY'RE ON SOMEWHAT AGREE AND
OF THE ISSUE BUT I JUST WANT
THEM TO GET ASKED THE HARD
QUESTIONS ABOUT ABORTION.
YOU KNOW WHERE DO THEY DRAW THE
LINE OF A LATE TERM ABORTION.
WHEN WHEN
WHEN IS IT LEGAL WHEN IS IT THE
LEAGUE ON ON THOSE QUESTIONS TO
BE ASKED TO THE CANDIDATE.
>> FAST AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING
THAT'S COUPLE ON THE DEBATE
STAGE UNTIL NOW WHAT DO YOU
THINK THAT DONALD TRUMP DID SO
WELL HERE IN THE STATE OF OHIO
BACK IN
2016 HE REALLY BE A LOT OF THE
POLLING PROJECTIONS AND DID
MUCH BETTER THAN A LOT OF
PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT HE WOULD
BUT HE CARRIED THE STATE BY
PRETTY IMPRESSIVE MARCH.
>> YEAH, HE REALLY DID AND I
THINK WHAT HE SPOKE TO WAYS
ECONOMIC SUCCESS AND I THINK
THAT'S WHAT A LOT OF OHIOANS
AND OURS STATES NEED AND WANT
AND THAT IS WHAT
THEY'RE FOCUSED YOU KNOW
HILLARY CLINTON DIDN'T FOCUS SO
MUCH ON THE ECONOMY WHERE IS
TRUMP DID HE SAID I'M GOING TO
BRING IN A STRONG ECONOMY AND
THAT'S REALLY WHAT OHIOANS WERE
LOOKING
FOR AND HE HE HE MADE THAT
PROMISE AND HE I THINK IN MY
OPINION SUCCEEDED IN DOING SO I
THINK YOU SOME
INCREDIBLE GROWTH OUR ECONOMY
CONSUMER CONFIDENCE IS UP OUR
UNEMPLOYMENT IS AT AN ALL
TIME LOW AND THIS IS BEFORE
MINORITY GROUPS AND WOMEN AND I
THINK THAT IS SOMETHING THAT
REALLY SPEAKS TO
HOW HE CAME IN WITH HIS
ADMINISTRATION HE BEAT DOWN THE
REGULATIONS. HE LOUD FOR TAX
CUTS WHICH REALLY ALLOWED FOR A
LARGE GROWTH IN OUR ECONOMY
WHICH IS REALLY 60 HERE
IN COLUMBUS. FOR SOMEBODY I'M
INVOLVED IN LEASING HERE IN
COLUMBUS AND YOU'RE SEEING THIS
HUGE MULTIFAMILY HOUSING BOOM.
AND I CAN SEE IT EVERY SINGLE
DAY I WORK AT A BRAND NEW
PROPERTY. THERE'S OTHER
PROPERTIES SPRINGING UP WE CAN
HARDLY KEEP UP WITH THE DEMAND
AND I THINK THAT REALLY SAYS
SOMETHING TOO. HOW WELL THIS
ADMINISTRATION HAS DONE FOR OUR
ECONOMY.
>> YOU MENTIONED ALREADY BEEN
ABOUT WHAT PERHAPS YOU'RE MOST
LOOKING FORWARD TO AND TUESDAY
NIGHT'S DEBATE AT LEAST WE WANT
TO HEAR WHAT DO YOU THINK ARE
AMONG THE MOST
IMPORTANT ISSUES FOR COLLEGE
AGE STUDENTS HERE IN THE STATE
OF OHIO, SPECIFICALLY WHAT
MATTERS MOST YEAH.
>> SO WHAT MATTERS MOST
THE COUPLE THINGS THAT TO ME
AND MY STUDENT GROUP LIKE TO
DEBATE ON CAM THIS CANCELING
STUDENT DEBT. I THINK IS A HOT
TOPIC RIGHT NOW, ESPECIALLY THE
DEBATES BECAUSE THAT SOME OF
THE KEY ARGUMENTS THAT A COUPLE
OF THE CANDIDATES, THE
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES
ARE MAKING. YOU KNOW FROM
THE CONSERVATIVE SIDE ARE
IDEAS. YOU CAN'T JUST CANCEL
DEBT LIKE YOU DO A NETFLIX
SUBSCRIPTION YOU KNOW SOMEBODY
HAS GOT TO PAY FOR THAT AND WE
KNOW THAT IN 10 YEARS DOWN
THE ROAD WE'RE REALLY GOING TO
START PAYING FOR THAT I'M OUT
OF OUR TAXES AND GETTING TAKEN
OUT OF
OUR PAYCHECKS AND WE DON'T WANT
TO DO THAT WE UNDERSTAND OUR
DEBT IS ARE RESPONSIBLE GOODY
AND RIGHT NOW WE KNOW THERE'S
WE TRY TO MITIGATE OR DEBT
AND WHATEVER WAY POSSIBLE
WHETHER IT'S HAVING A JOB BUT
WE UNDERSTAND THAT IT
IS OURS AND THAT WE DON'T WANT
TO PAY FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD
AND SOMEBODY WHO ISN'T GOING TO
COLLEGE ALSO SHOULDN'T HAVE TO
PAY FOR SOMEBODY ELSE TO GO TO
COLLEGE AND ESSENTIALLY TAKING
OWNERSHIP AND
YOU KNOW FORCING PEOPLE DON'T
PAY ITS PAY AND.
>> RIGHT NOW TIME I FELT
QUESTION FOR YOU IS WHAT WOULD
YOUR MESSAGE BE TO OTHER YOUNG
AMERICANS WHETHER THEY'RE IN
COLLEGE OR JUST A SHORT HAD
JUST LEFT COLLEGE NOT TOO LONG
AGO, THEY'RE LOOKING AT THE
2020 ELECTION HAVE TO BE MOST
OF ALL WITH THE POLITICAL
PROCESS REGARDLESS OF THEIR
PARTY DETAIL OF THE YOUNG
AMERICANS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE
OF A BEING ACTIVE HAVING A
VOICE YEAH TALK TO EACH OTHER I
THINK THAT'S THE
BIGGEST THING.
>> SO MUCH OF THE TIME,
ESPECIALLY ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES
WHEN YOU'RE COMING OUT OF
COLLEGE IT BECOMES A BUBBLE OF
ALL THE SAME THOUGHT
AND THAT'S THE LAST THING THAT
YOU WANT TO HAPPEN BECAUSE THAT
DOESN'T FURTHER THOUGHT ANYWAY
AND YOU DON'T REALLY GET DOWN
TO THE NITTY-GRITTY OF THE
ISSUES AND HOW SOMETHING
SUPPOSED
TO WORK AND OVERALL THERE'S NOT
A LOT OF WORLD APPLICATIONS TO
SOCIALISM DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE
THAT TO TALK TO ONE ANOTHER ASK
THE DIFFICULT QUESTIONS AND YOU
KNOW WHEN YOU TALK TO PEOPLE
THAT
IS WHAT. PREVENTS THINGS THAT
ARE PROBLEMS IN THE WORLD SEXES
AND THINGS LIKE THAT WHEN YOU
TALK AND YOU GET TO KNOW ONE
ANOTHER AND YOU
HAVE THAT. LARGER WORLD
