They're very hurtful. It's very hurtful to people. It's hurtful to the people in Springfield.

Hurtful to the Haitians who are working every day. I talked to some of their employees,

Fran, I had them over for breakfast the other day, the employers, excuse me.

And look, they said they worked very hard. They're very focused.

They're family-oriented.

It's hurtful for them very, very much, and some of them are afraid.

That's Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, addressing the lies about Haitian migrants that have been spread by Donald Trump and Senator J.D. Vance.

But the vice presidential nominee says fact-checking is not his responsibility.

We'll play for you those comments.

Meanwhile, the former president held his first campaign event since the Secret Service foiled

an apparent assassination plot against him.

We'll show you what he said about it and bring you the latest on that investigation.

Plus, we'll go through the coordinated attack against Hezbollah in Lebanon carried out with explosive pagers.

Good morning and welcome to way too early on this Wednesday, September 18th.

I'm John Flemere.

Thanks for starting your day with us.

We have a lot to get to this morning, and we'll begin here with Ohio Governor Mike DeWine calling on Donald Trump and Senator J.D. Vance, Senator of Ohio,

mind you, to stop spreading lies about Haitian migrants in the town of Springfield, Ohio.

So those comments are, you know, about eating dogs and things.

They're very hurtful.

They're very hurtful for these men and women who work very, very hard.

They're obviously very hurtful for their children.
