1
00:00:03.319 --> 00:00:06.320
I feel the counting in the Great
American Welcome to floor. It's two day

2
00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:10.400
appen in to try to day Red
Spaceball wonderful last night on the cusp of

3
00:00:10.439 --> 00:00:15.039
glory starts again tonight about five forty. Joe Burrow is not limping. There's

4
00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:19.039
no sleeve on his calf. Where's
Mike DeWine? The governor knows all about

5
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:23.440
calves because he raised many in Greene
County. But nonetheless, there was big

6
00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:28.920
news yesterday about these about these personal
aerial vehicles all of us are going to

7
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:33.200
be in and it's wonderful to watch. I don't know how it's going to

8
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:36.600
happen. Let's go to the source, Mike DeWine. Governor, Mike DeWine,

9
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:40.159
welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show, and Governor, with your permission,

10
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:46.000
many here have walk up music,
much like Red's baseball players getting ready

11
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:49.960
to hit. Yes, I know
mine is bad. Bad to the bone

12
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:56.880
is big Joe Deeters. Now just
as Joe has power load set to explode

13
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:02.640
TNT pretty good stuff. And would
you like me to have some walk up

14
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:07.159
music for Governor Mike DeWine, Billy, I would, I would really like

15
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:11.920
it, and I hope it's futuristic
but also plays back a little bit to

16
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:17.280
the past. So come up with
something here, Tony Bender, you've been

17
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:44.120
working on this hit the walk up
music for Governor Mike DeWine Me George Jetson

18
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:57.519
a KA Mike is by now a
Kay Pat don't know a name here,

19
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:12.719
we'll call her Judy Jay aka fran
H. I feel I want to dance

20
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:15.960
now. You gotta tell a little
bit of a story of what happened yesterday

21
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:21.439
in Miami Valley. Are we gonna
have jets and type vehicles flying around Ohio?

22
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:24.879
Yes, and we're gonna have them
flying all over the country, in

23
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:30.960
the in the world because this California
company, we've been working with them to

24
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:35.520
come to Ohio. They're gonna come
to Ohio. We had a great setting

25
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:38.120
yesterday, a beautiful day. We
were on the lawn of the home that

26
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:44.680
was designed by by the Wright brothers
UH in oak in Oakwood, UH in

27
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:52.400
Montgomery County, and he and Joe
Bann Who's who's the CEO UH And we've

28
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:54.639
gotten fran I've certainly gotten to know, and the hotel Governor's gotten to know.

29
00:02:54.919 --> 00:03:00.439
And maybe the announcement yesterday they're going
to be building a manufacturing facility.

30
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:04.599
Uh. They will employ two thousand
people. Well they'll do it near they'll

31
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:08.479
do it near the airport. Uh, and they will produce The goal is

32
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:16.719
five hundred of these air taxis and
they will have one pilot and they will

33
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:21.639
have four four passengers. And the
idea is to you know, this is

34
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:23.919
a place to cut down on Uh. You know, if you live in

35
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:29.080
la or you live in someplace where
the congestion is horrible and you want to

36
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:32.120
go across town, you will be
able to go on this kind of a

37
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:38.199
uh. You know this this thing
that goes up in the air. It

38
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:39.719
will go two hundred miles an hour
once it goes straight out. It goes

39
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:45.800
straight up and then then it will
go straight out. So it is it

40
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:49.919
is the future. We're really happy
to give them. It's sort of similar

41
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:54.759
to what uh the importance of getting
Intel, because I think for people to

42
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:59.919
see that Ohio is about is really
about the future. And you know,

43
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:06.199
Fran looked up the whole jetson thing
and found that it was like I think

44
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:12.199
nineteen sixty two, Now Billy you
were alive then, yes, obably yes,

45
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:15.519
as a little kid, remember that
song, right, I vaguely.

46
00:04:15.839 --> 00:04:20.319
Uh, we spoke last night.
You told me that The Jetsons was like

47
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:25.639
you and frans favorite TV show.
I was shocked to find out it was

48
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:29.079
on, but for one year,
that's impot. I can see you and

49
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:32.639
France sitting on a couch in Greene
County watching The Jetsons on a magnavox.

50
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:36.839
I can see it right now.
Well, let's let's let's see Billy.

51
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:41.560
We were fifteen, so I didn't
have my license yet, so we were

52
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:46.199
not quite dating yet, but we
had one day before then we went bowling,

53
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:47.959
went bowling it in seventh grade.
Yes, bowling, we went.

54
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:56.079
We went, We went bowling,
bowling. But this thing is absolutely phenomenal

55
00:04:56.480 --> 00:05:00.759
and it's it is all electric.
So the CEO was telling Fran and me

56
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:05.600
and John yesterday. He said,
well, what's the noise? He said,

57
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:11.480
there's no noise. It's just a
little hush. Yeah, there's It's

58
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:15.759
not like a helicopter. It doesn't
make that helicopter bank. It doesn't make

59
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:17.920
that noise. It's a kind of
a hush. When's it gonna Actually,

60
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:23.800
I can see maybe and and and
congestion go from Dayton to Cincinnati, for

61
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:28.160
example, or maybe down to Frankfurt
and it's like I've seen the video.

62
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:30.600
It's look, it's all electric.
He's got these little propellers on it.

63
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.879
You go in, sit down,
and away you go. And when will

64
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:42.040
it be operational? They're gonna start
producing these they think in uh twenty twenty

65
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:46.000
five, so it's not that far
off. They're gonna start construction, you

66
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:49.360
know, pretty quickly. It was
interesting at seven am yesterday morning, they

67
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:55.040
put up a place where you could
go if you wanted a job there,

68
00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:58.600
and they've already already as of the
time we made the announcement, which is

69
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:01.800
I think was ten o'clock, they
are had hundreds of people who had applied

70
00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:06.240
applied for jobs. So it's you
know, one of the things that that

71
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:10.439
we did. And people asked,
well, how do you end up you

72
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:13.160
know, how's the company like that
end up getting here? And there's a

73
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:15.399
lot of reasons. I think that
the synergy was right Passion Air Force Base

74
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:23.839
with US military. Uh what is
going on to Springfield Air Base Airport in

75
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:29.040
regard to drones, the work that's
going on there. Uh, these things

76
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:30.839
were all very important. They think
they you know, they know, Ohio,

77
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:35.920
it's a great manufacturing state. But
the final thing I think was a

78
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:41.639
question how happy are our employees going
to be living in Ohio? And so

79
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:46.480
Fran and I literally got a bus, uh, got us and we had

80
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:48.839
him go over. We met him, met him the CEO and his top

81
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:56.079
people. Uh. We met him
over in Yellow Springs eight breakfast at the

82
00:06:56.439 --> 00:07:03.000
absolutely magnificent hotel there and in Yellow
Springs U and then gotten the bus and

83
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:06.439
you know, we kept talking about, you know, where he was asking

84
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:10.120
of where where our people live,
the quality of life. So anyway,

85
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:13.560
and at that point it wasn't clear
whether it was going to Springfield or Clark

86
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:15.720
County, or whether it's going to
Montgomery County or Green County or exactly where

87
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:19.199
it was going. But we just
kind of took him around to some of

88
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:25.040
our favorite places. We showed him
Glen Hellen a thousand acres uh there.

89
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:28.920
We stopped in in Clifton, uh, you know, looked at the Clifton

90
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:33.720
Gorge, beautiful, beautiful, and
then then Clifton Mill and looked at the

91
00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:36.360
Little Miami River. I told him, you know, the Little Miami River.

92
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:40.079
The headwater of the Little Miami River
is not too far here. It

93
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:45.199
starts up here and comes down and
they looked looked at that water and said

94
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:46.639
wow. I said, wow,
yeah, but this is you know,

95
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:49.399
this is just one river we got
there. We got plenty of water.

96
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:54.160
But but the quality of life,
I think, Bill, you know something

97
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:58.279
that when people dig down into it
and they see the cost of housing is

98
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:01.279
so much lower here it is in
California or New York ors you know,

99
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:05.800
some of the coastal places, and
it's just a great place to live.

100
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:09.560
I mean, what about air traffic
controllers? Tony Bender wants to buy one

101
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:13.120
in Boone County. It takes some
forty five minutes to come here from Boone

102
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:18.319
County. Are these going to be
literally taxis? Are there air traffic controllers?

103
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:22.439
What are the rules of the road
when you're a thousand feet in the

104
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:24.600
air. Yeah, they're working all
of that out. I mean, you

105
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:28.120
know, that's very very important.
As you know, and we're seeing the

106
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:31.720
course more and more, uh you
know, not the same thing, but

107
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:35.879
we're seeing more and more the idea
of drones dropping packages and look, it's

108
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:39.960
gotta be careful and it's gotta be
regulated, but uh, you know,

109
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:46.120
I see these being used as a
taxi. I think there's also possibility that

110
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:48.480
you know, some executives would actually
buy one and getting you know, train

111
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:52.440
a pilot and uh have that pilot
trained and uh, you know, take

112
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:56.399
them, take them around. I'm
sure they're not gonna be too cheap.

113
00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:01.320
But uh, you know, this
company h is absolutely convinced, they've had

114
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:05.440
some big companies invest in them as
well, that this is the future.

115
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:13.639
And you know, it's been sixty
years since the Jeffsons, So this didn't

116
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:18.480
come overnight, no jets after you
know, sixty years when Frey and I

117
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:22.200
were fifteen, and now we're looking
at this coming, you know, sixty

118
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:28.200
years later. So it's I saw
this NBC story out of New York,

119
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:33.080
which is terribly congested, to have
these vehicles that land on the top of

120
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:37.360
buildings and go to Newark International Liberty, go to Philadelphia when Ohio State plays

121
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:43.480
Notre Dame, get ten of these
things and begin somewhere and get to South

122
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:46.600
Bend in like fifteen twenty minutes after
the game pick up, bring you back.

123
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:50.120
I can see lots of uses go
to the Derby. It takes about

124
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:56.080
fifteen minutes to get there from Cincinnati. Why Cincinnati doesn't have the congestion problems

125
00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:01.600
as other major cities have. But
this thing has applications, and I'm glad

126
00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:03.559
they picked Ohio. I'd rather live
here than almost anywhere else. You can't

127
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:09.240
live in Los Angeles, for God's
sakes. Well no, I mean,

128
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:11.279
you know, Bill, we were
out there, you know for the Super

129
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:16.159
Bowl singles one out and some of
our kids, and trying to move around

130
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:20.440
that city was just like it was
unbelievable. How you know how long it

131
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.240
took to go a very short period. But look, this is good for

132
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:30.279
Ohio. I just left the the
opening of the Farm Science Review, which

133
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:33.840
is in Madison County. It's a
great, great events of all the new

134
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:39.840
things in agriculture. And one of
the things I said this morning is when

135
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:43.840
Ohio has been as greatest, and
I believe that this is truly our time

136
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:48.480
again right now. When we've been
our greatest, it has been a combination

137
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:50.799
of agriculture, which is still the
number one industry in the state of Ohio.

138
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:56.240
And when that was that was going
strong, and when manufacturing was going

139
00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:01.320
strong. You know, you have
those two things that are are perculating and

140
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:05.039
or moving things are going well,
and both of them are going well here

141
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:09.360
in Ohio. Oh and a couple
three years who knows if you want to

142
00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:13.080
go see the Browns beat up on
the Bengals, just get to follow up

143
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:16.440
seventy one. I guess it would
take less than an hour to get to

144
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:18.960
Cleveland from here and charge everybody five
hundred bucks. Get on, it's a

145
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:22.879
taxi away you go. It's the
way to happen. And Mike, we

146
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:28.240
have about a minute or two remaining. Did you think that those young couple

147
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:33.840
fifteen sixteen years old sitting on a
couch in Greene County in sixty years would

148
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:39.600
be a two term United States Senator, a US Congressman, a prosecutor,

149
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:45.720
a governor. The most popular governor
in the history of Ohio is Mike DeWine.

150
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:50.519
It's reelected. You are sixty percent
because you're so in a sense non
