00:00:04.919 --> 00:00:09.119
Billy Cunningham, Welcome to eclipse Monday
afternoon. The big event takes place about

2
00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:12.880
three h nine, really begins about
one fifty fifty two for about two and

3
00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:17.160
a half hours partial eclipse. Really
the eclipse also is from the west to

4
00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:21.839
the south to the east. Even
Florida has about a seventy five percent eclipse.

5
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:25.679
And all hell's breaking loose, cats
and dogs are living any other Maybe

6
00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:29.519
turtles are fornicating. I saw that
on Fox nineteen this morning. There's large

7
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:32.240
numbers of turtles and the zoos that
are getting on top of each other.

8
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:36.359
I don't know what's going on.
Plus we have birds flying upside down reports

9
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:40.719
but in a serious way. We
have Governor Mike DeWine with us this Monday

10
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:44.320
afternoon somewhere near Indian Lake. Is
the scene you should make with your little

11
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:48.079
one and Governor Mike Dwine welcome again
in the Bill Cunningham Show. And can

12
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:52.200
you talk about the state government reaction
to what's happening. We had a report

13
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:56.520
from Tony Bender that essentially you have
the National Guard on hold. Can you

14
00:00:56.560 --> 00:01:02.039
tell the American people what's happening of
all? I think you should sing for

15
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:06.480
your listeners. Indian Lake, because
you and I are old enough to remember

16
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:11.480
when Indian Lake came out and the
song we're talking about, Yes, yeah,

17
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:15.359
Tony, can you sing it?
Indian Lake is the scene you should

18
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:21.200
make with your little one. That's
about the only part of it I know.

19
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:23.719
But Tony Bender is a DJ type
kind of a guy. He could

20
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.840
probably find it for you. Well, you know, maybe you could.

21
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.599
You could play it sometimes. We're
going to play it this afternoon if you're

22
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:37.120
there. What about the National Guard? What are the concerns you have from

23
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:42.640
a governmental angle about people acting up, traffic, et cetera. So Bill

24
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:47.640
looked at what happened in other states
when they've had total clips over you know,

25
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:53.040
the last few years, and just
tons of people rolled into those communities,

26
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:57.640
and the biggest concern was just traffic. Uh. And so we had

27
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:01.799
the National Guard. They were actually
doing you're training over the weekend. Uh.

28
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:05.959
And so that was that was good. But they were ready to hold

29
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:09.039
over till today. But we made
a decision, frankly, to let them

30
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:15.159
go back to their normal lives,
uh and not not uh, you know,

31
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:17.840
stay assembled, because we don't think
we're going to have a huge problem

32
00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:23.240
today. The biggest problem probably is
going to come after you know, it's

33
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:28.039
over, and then people all want
to go back home wherever they're, where

34
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:30.719
they've come from. And the good
thing is they've been coming in here.

35
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:35.879
You know, over the last three
four days. All our camp sites,

36
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:40.960
uh, every state park is full
as far as camp sites, people camping

37
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:46.000
out, all of them that are
within the you know, within the the

38
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:50.599
the area where that is that is
going. So bottom line, everything looked

39
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.159
good this morning. I had a
briefing couple hours ago, and uh,

40
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:58.240
it looks good. We're fan.
I are at Indian Lake. Her sister

41
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:01.240
has a house up here, and
beautiful day, very very clear. And

42
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:05.319
what we did is we came up
north. You know, we lived out

43
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:08.159
in Cedarville. We came up north
to get right into the actual you know,

44
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:12.680
the pathway, so we could see
a longer time of totality. But

45
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:15.680
the state state's doing well. I
continue to get reports. But you know,

46
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:21.599
everyone looks pretty good today at this
point. Here we are Monday afternoon,

47
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:24.159
and of course the eclipse at least
here's about three oh nine or three

48
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:29.159
ten. You're about one hundred miles
north of Cincinnati. But what would be

49
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:31.960
a triggering event? You have the
General and the National Guard. On hold,

50
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:37.800
are we talking about M sixteen's and
tanks or are we talking about traffic?

51
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:40.039
Well, it's all traffic. Look, look, there's two there's two

52
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:45.439
concerns that people should have today.
One is you know, in traffic,

53
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:49.159
and then people you know, pull
over when the thing is starting and pull

54
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:53.599
someplace where they get rear ended,
you know, something crazy on the roads,

55
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:57.879
and we worry about that. We
worry about when people when it's fall

56
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.759
over and then everybody's okay, last
time, you know, to go back

57
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.560
home, and we think there's a
lot of a lot of traffic. Then

58
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:06.800
the other thing you worry about,
of course, is people looking at the

59
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:13.800
sun and without you know, these
these special glasses and you know sunglasses don't

60
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:17.319
work. These things are you know, multiple times stronger than sunglasses. So

61
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:20.560
those are two big things. I
think people should just enjoy today, have

62
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:24.519
a good time. This is something
that uh, you know, it's not

63
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:28.560
going to occur in Ohio probably you're
in my lifetime Bill. It's that the

64
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:30.959
latter part of the century when happens
again. And you know, we were

65
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:34.600
talking the other day, I think
the last time this was was an wasn't

66
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:40.120
eight eighteen o six something like that. And the story was that the Cumps

67
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:45.519
and his brother who was called the
Prophet, knew about this because they,

68
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:47.480
you know, they'd been talking to
settlers and it was known at that time

69
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:51.000
when it was coming, and they
kind of predicted it, and that,

70
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:54.680
you know, to show their show
their power. At least that's one of

71
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:59.600
the story. I'm not sure how
is it possible to come and the profit

72
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.040
they would know about the total eclipse
of the sun. Well, they were

73
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:05.240
talking to settlers. I mean,
they had a lot. What we forget

74
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:11.560
is there's a tremendous interaction going on
with the settlers at that at that time.

75
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:14.360
Sometimes it was violet. Sometimes they're
fighting, but a lot of times

76
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:17.800
they're trading, trading things back and
forth. You know. It does bring

77
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:21.240
up that in June, we're going
to open uh and this is going to

78
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:26.399
be Joe Dieters as he's been he's
been telling me about how important things this

79
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:29.680
is. We are opening a brand
new state park, very very small estate

80
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:34.079
park between Zinga and Yellow Springs.
It was it's called Old Town and Uh.

81
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:39.800
The Shawny Indians, it was their
main encampment in the mid in the

82
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:44.240
mid seventeen seventies, and this is
actually the place if you remember the store,

83
00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:47.000
if you're for your folks down in
Kentucky, this is where, uh,

84
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:50.519
the Shawnees want shoddy and just went
down into their hunting ground down in

85
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:57.319
Kentucky and then captured Daniel Boom and
brought him back to Old Town in what

86
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:00.759
is now Green County, helding for
a long time. They must have got

87
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:02.720
along pretty well because he was a
good hunter. They went out hunting trips

88
00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:06.879
together. But then one day he
heard that they were getting ready to attack

89
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:15.120
Boonsboro, and so he escaped and
what back across jo Hio River cleared out

90
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.160
into there. They didn't catch him, and he warned the people at Boonsborough

91
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:20.680
they were ready for the attack.
So all that history is going to be

92
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:25.839
kind of We're going to tell the
story of the Shawnees, the Native Americans,

93
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:29.519
and we're going to do it in
this new little state park that's right

94
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.959
on the place where the Shawnees were
entamped and where their main main place was

95
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:38.319
for at least three three very very
impactful years. Governor Mike DeWine, you

96
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:43.519
mean to tell me that Takumsa and
a profit took Daniel Boone hostage and I

97
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:46.639
seventy five didn't exist at the time. Somehow there were just woods and rivers

98
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:53.759
and creeks everywhere and marched him from
Kentucky up to one hundred miles north into

99
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:57.240
Ohio. And then he escaped and
went back to Boonsboro and said, the

100
00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:01.319
Indians are coming. Yes, that
is through story that that one we know

101
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:04.839
is know is true. Wow,
that great story. I never fascinating,

102
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:10.399
fascinating story. And this is just
a great part of Ohile history that uh,

103
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:14.079
you know, we want to tell
in this state park and the visitor

104
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:17.439
center there is almost almost completed,
still be a place where people can go

105
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:21.680
and learn and you know, here
here hear these stories and kind of learn

106
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:27.360
more about the Native Americans but also
learn more about the European pioneers that were

107
00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:30.800
coming and uh kind of how they
how they interacted. Could you have imagined

108
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:34.759
when when you're running for office,
what about six years ago, to become

109
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:40.480
the governor, that you would deal
with massive pandemics, you would deal with

110
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:44.439
warring factions in the House and the
Senate and Columbus. Now you're dealing with

111
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:47.480
the total eclipse of the sun.
This is a song talking about like Carly

112
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:51.759
Simon style, the totally did you
could you even imagine this would have happened?

113
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:57.839
Well on ad add to that a
horrible, horrific train wreck in East

114
00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:01.480
Palace. Tee No, no,
I haven't no idea any of this,

115
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:07.240
but you know that's what governors do. You try to get ready for these

116
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:09.439
things, or or if you have
no warning, you know, you try

117
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:13.639
to react. So yeah, it's
it's part of the deal. It's unbelievable

118
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:16.879
for it kind of you're sitting at
your desk and somebody knocks on your door

119
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:20.079
and say, hey, hey,
governor, we've had a terrible train to

120
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:22.560
railmen and East Balestine, teeth,
hair and eyes everywhere. Is going to

121
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:26.040
be years to clean that up.
Oh governor. By the way, we

122
00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:28.000
have a once in a lifetime pandemic. What do we do now, oh

123
00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:33.080
governor? By the way, we
got we have the reenactment of to Come

124
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:37.200
and the profit kidnapping Daniel Boone taking
him into Ohio. And by the way,

125
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:41.240
there's a total eclipse of the sun
that last happened in eighteen o six

126
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:46.039
during the Jefferson administration, and it
won't happen again until twenty seventy nine.

127
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:48.639
And by the way, Governor,
what else is going on? I mean,

128
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:54.000
well, the other thing we're going
to sell it celebrate shortly the two

129
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:58.480
hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the United
States. And that's we've got preparations to

130
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:03.519
do that, and they're doing that
all across the country. So exciting time.

131
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:07.000
Bill, never never do a moment. So lastly about the National Guard.

132
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:11.639
There's no anticipation of civil disobedience or
civil disa no, no, no,

133
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:13.279
no, this is gonna be a
happy day. People are going to

134
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:18.600
have a good time. I'm looking
at the sky and don't see many clouds,

135
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.879
at least at Indian Lake. And
you know, this part of Ohio

136
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.159
looks looks very very very clear,
and we're going to have a chance to

137
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:28.200
see this. And for you and
me, Billy, I hate to say

138
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:31.360
this, but this, this is
it the only time we're going to have

139
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:35.320
a chance to say that. I
had on an optometrist a couple of days

140
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:37.720
ago. I'm going to get another
one on in about an hour. And

141
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:41.759
he says that when the total eclipse
happens, which might be two to four

142
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:46.200
minutes, you can look at the
sun at that moment only of the total

143
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:50.120
eclipse. Now, the problem is
you put that message out and people may

144
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:54.600
anticipate a little bit ahead of time
and drill holes in your in your eyeballs.

145
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:58.159
But are you going to risk it
all in that two minutes and take

146
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:03.399
off your glasses look at the sun? No? No, no, no,

147
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:05.159
I'm gonna I'm gonna have those things
on. But the other thing is,

148
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:09.360
you know you're gonna see I guess, uh, it's going to get

149
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:13.120
pretty pretty dark. And uh,
you were kind of kind of doing a

150
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:18.519
tease at the beginning there. But
apparently one of the things that people are

151
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:22.639
interested in is getting reports of how
animals act during that three or four minutes.

152
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:26.759
It's it's dark. I mean,
it's like, oh, what's going

153
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:28.879
on? What are your what are
the cows do out in the field?

154
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:31.519
They think it's time to come in, and you're kind of you're kind of

155
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:35.399
a farm boy. You grew up
on farms. I mean, you were

156
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.639
probably a second cousin of Daniel Boone. What what a farm an? I

157
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:41.679
have a friend of mine, Michelle
Schneider, you know her well, and

158
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:46.240
she has six horses and she wants
to call in and talk about what her

159
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:52.879
horses are doing, And I thought, well, calling, I don't know,

160
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:56.519
well what is people are? The
other thing people are doing. They're

161
00:10:56.519 --> 00:11:01.000
going to see literally at zoos.
What do these animals do? What did

162
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:05.159
the gorillas do during the four minutes? I don't know, but well we're

163
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:09.600
going to find out. All right, Governor, this this is I don't

164
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:11.639
want to tell you how you do
your job, but you should have somebody

165
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:16.600
reporting live from the Cincinnati Zoo,
Great Zoo. What are the gorillas doing?

166
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:20.200
What are the drastic Well, you
know Joe Dieters killed Harambe. Harambe

167
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:24.279
is dead, so we don't know
about Harambe. But uh uh, last

168
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:28.720
thing I want to ask you again, if called by President Donald Trump,

169
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:33.399
would you become a vice president.
I don't think he's calling Billy. I

170
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:37.240
don't think that's happened. I don't
think I've read the short list, and

171
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:43.480
I don't think they didn't say.
Uh, let's call well, Mike DeWine.

172
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:46.799
You've been in the Congress, you've
been in the Senate. Uh,

173
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:50.879
you've been lieutenant governor, you've been
prosecutor, you're now the governor. Did

174
00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:54.039
I miss anything? Uh? And
so you seem to know where the bodies

175
00:11:54.080 --> 00:12:00.159
are buried. If it's a broker
convention and uh in Milwaukee, and and

176
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:03.120
they come to you, will you
come out of the back and say here,

177
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.600
I am Governor Dowine, Vice President
h I can count. And it

178
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:09.720
looks like Trump is over the numbers. I don't think you're gonna be a

179
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:16.600
broker convention. I think that he's
clearly clearly nominated. Are you going to

180
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:20.279
it? Will you be there?
Yeah? Yeah, we're doing an the

181
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:26.240
Governor Oways does excuse me. Governor
Oways does a welcome uh for the for

182
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:28.720
the delegates and other people from Ohio. So we're gonna do that on the

183
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:35.840
Sunday night before uh it starts.
There's also I think a Brewer's game that

184
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:41.639
day that I may they may go
see. Yeah, the res are not

185
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:43.799
playing, but you know, I
kind of like to see that ballpark.

186
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:46.960
But I'm trying to get you to
say yes. If there's a knock on

187
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:54.360
the door, where you respond,
there will be no knock. All right,

188
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:56.919
Governor, you're an Indian lake.
It's wonderful. It's fabulous, most

189
00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:01.279
beautiful Indian like Lemon Lake. As
you remember. Now, hold on,

190
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:07.960
Governor, listen up, Tony Bender. You say we play it. Hit

191
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:09.480

for you, Governor Mike Dwan. We're

192
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:18.279

Indian Lake. Here we go. You're

194
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:35.759

00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:50.000

196
00:13:50.039 --> 00:14:03.879
off. Hey, hit it.
Keep it in mind, Governor Mike Dwining.

197
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:07.879
Fran has found a place in the
summer sun. That's gonna be the

198
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:11.159
total week clips, Governor Mike beautiful. I wish I had time to out,

199
00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:15.080
Billy, if you had that Jetson
thing ready to go, I'd fly

200
00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:18.039
up there right now. If you
had that. You should be an Indian

201
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:20.159
like this is the place to be
if it's beautiful to government. Absolutely.

202
00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:26.240
How many miles north of Cincinnati is
about eighty or ninety. Yes, it's

203
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:28.559
the way. It takes us an
hour to an hour and ten to get

204
00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:31.440
up here. You go up about
sixty eight the state, straight up sixty

205
00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:35.600
eight. By the way, Billy
was with the with the Indian Path before

206
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:41.679
else wil To comps that took hostage
Daniel Boone. So all right, Governor

207
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:46.279
Mike dan thank you very much for
kind of waylaying the fierce Tony Benner thought

208
00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:52.320
that would be Shawnee, wouldn't you
It was a Shawnee to come. Sorry,

209
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:54.679
all right, Governor Mike Dowan,
thank you, Billy, thank you,

210
00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:00.399
thank you all. Let's continue with
more. Unbelievable. This is truly

211
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:07.200
unbelievable. The Shawnees kidnap and take
hostis Daniel Boone from Boone County, take

212
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:11.879
him up one hundred miles north and
then help shooting animals. Then he escapes

213
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:16.240
when he found out undercover that there
was going to be an attack on Boonsboro

214
00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:22.360
and down he went to warn his
fellow Kentuckians. Unbelievable. Let's continue with

215
00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:24.080
more. We're going to cover this
thing as much as we can, as
