50 Years of Public Service Governor Mike DeWine Joins The President's Podcast

Welcome to the 120th edition of On The Record.

We kick 2026 off with a special President's Podcast.

Governor Mike DeWine joins us for an insightful, comprehensive, and interesting conversation about his 50 years of public service.

We cover today's disturbing political environment ranging from a socialist elected as the Mayor of New York City, to Governor DeWine's response to the avalanche of social media resulting from the $9 billion federal fraud investigation into childcare operations in Minnesota that spilled over into Ohio.

Governor DeWine highlights how Ohio has a far different system than Minnesota, one that is built on certified attendance instead of enrollment, follow-up investigations, and 10,000 unannounced visits by inspectors just in 2025 alone.

In case you missed it, Governor DeWine held a news conference Monday about how Ohio's system is much more secure than Minnesota. Watch it here.

Plus, he goes on the record about Senate President Rob McColley being named the Lt. Governor candidate for the 2026 Republican ticket led by Vivek Ramaswamy.

Five years after the what we now know was weaponized in a lab, the Governor talks about what we learned from Ohio's response to Covid-19, and hear what he has to say as a former member of the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee about the U.S. Special Forces capturing Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro.

30 years ago Ohio had 21 electoral votes, now we have 17. Can we get back there? How well positioned is the state politically with Vice President Vance and U.S. Senators Husted and Moreno. Join us for a candid conversation with a family man who has been a County Prosecutor, State Senator, Congressman, U.S. Senator, Lt. Governor, Attorney General and Ohio's current two term governor — Ohio Governor Mike DeWine.

The President's Podcast is available on multiple platforms including iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, YouTube and Spotify.
