I guess Bernie is sucking up to rural voters at this minute... instead of the urban voters unless he thinks third world country is 'doing fine'.

Snopes
In a 2015 speech, Sen. Bernie Sanders, who represents Vermont, compared living conditions in Baltimore to a "third world country."

and he's right. Which is not to say that they don't have people who need help, but as a whole, they don't have the problems he's talking about in that clip that are more endemic to rural communities.
