This is CBS Eye on the World. Here's John Batchelor.

I welcome my colleagues, Solena Zito, of the Washington Examiner, and the author of the new book,

Butler, the untold story of the near assassination of Donald Trump and the fight for America's heartland coming out July.

But right now it's available for a pre-order on Amazon.

Selena, congratulations. You finally let me say about the book, and I'm glad for it.

However, I go to a piece you have up right now at the Washington Examiner that's very sad and vivid, and there's nothing to be done, because the event is the day the music died in 1977.

Jimmy Carter was in the White House, and what we now know is that the Rust Belt was deepening, and there was no reversing it 50 years later there'll be no

reversing it until the day the music died in mahoning valley what happened that day selina good

evening so good evening thanks so much for having me on um so on that day that was the sort of the

beginning of the snowball effect that just wiped out the industrial Midwest.

And that was the day that Youngstown Tube and Steel, which was the largest steel plant in the state.

And it's right along the Pennsylvania borders.

So there's lots of people that work

from both states that work there 5,000 people went to their job first shift it's youngstown

you know these these are this is a town with half the town likes the Steelers the other half

likes the Cleveland Browns they're going to play that night

so everyone's like going into

work they're happy they're ribbing each

other and within minutes

they're all walking out they've all

lost their jobs. It is something
