Well, throughout all of the turmoil in Springfield, Ohio,

Governor Mike DeWine has called for calm.

He sent additional law enforcement resources

and condemned hate.

He joins me now.

Governor DeWine, welcome back to the news hour. Thanks for being with us.

Good to be with you. Thank you very much.

So I want to put to you something that Senator Vance said earlier at a rally today. He quoted you saying that you had said

every single one of the bomb threats that

Springfield, Ohio has seen was a hoax and all of the bomb threats came from

foreign countries. Just for clarification. Is that accurate?

Some of the bomb threats came from foreign countries, others came from in the United States.

And all of them have been hoses. That's correct.

None of them have panned out.

We've obviously checked each one out.

But they've been very disruptive.

Schools have had to close.

You know, we put in our highway patrol to the school so they can be open today and

I was glad to see a lot of students were back when Fran I visited there today.

So when you say that they're hoaxes that means they haven't actually been bombings they have been threats but as you just heard from my colleagues

conversation with the Springfield City Manager he said you have to respond to everyone as if it could be real.

So if the intention is to so fear, is it working?
