After leaving President Trump and Elon Musk's DOGE, Vivek Ramaswamy, has decided to run for governor of Ohio. He joins Glenn to lay out his vision for the state, which he wants to transform into a new gold standard for the American Dream. With Trump returning power to the states, cutting federal programs, and slashing red tape, Ramaswamy argues that it will soon be up to the governors to "step up and do their job." He advocates for federalism, state-level transparency, zero income tax, and reduced property taxes, calling them "un-American." Vivek also addresses the technological revolution, proposing workforce training to harness AI for job creation across blue-collar and professional fields. Ramaswamy stresses reattaching work requirements to welfare, promoting independence over government dependence, and fostering a culture of meritocracy and capitalism.

Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign has filed paperwork to begin his Ohio gubernatorial bid.
According to Fox News Digital, Ramaswamy’s campaign filed its Designation of Treasurer form with Ohio’s Secretary of State. The form submitted is one of the requirements for candidates’ campaigns before they make any expenditures or receive contributions.
Ramaswamy has not formally announced his run for Ohio governor but has hinted at it at various times.
“Big announcement in Ohio coming on Feb 24. It won’t be your usual gubernatorial dog-and-pony show,” the potential Ohio candidate told The New York Post Saturday.
According to a report by the Associated Press, Ramaswamy is expected to launch his campaign on February 24th at Cincinnati’s CTL Aerospace Inc.
The filing comes more than a month after it was announced that Ramaswamy had left President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative.
Trump-Vance transition spokesperson Anna Kelly told Fox News that Ramaswamy “played a critical role in helping us create DOGE.”
“He intends to run for elected office soon, which will require him to remain outside of DOGE, based on the structure that we announced today,” Kelly explained. “We thank him immensely for his contributions over the last 2 months and expect him to play a vital role in making America great again.”
The gubernatorial race will take place in 2026 as current Governor Mike DeWine (R-Ohio) is ineligible to run, having taken office in 2019.

Former President Donald Trump has announced that he plans on deporting a large concentration of Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, if he wins re-election in November and defeats Kamala Harris.
During a NewsNation interview on Wednesday, Trump revealed that he would remove the migrants’ temporary protected status (TPS) and initiate the deportation process. He noted that he plans to keep his word on carrying out a “large deportation” campaign aimed at removing the millions of illegal immigrants who took advantage of Biden’s open border policies.
“It has nothing to do with Haiti or anything else. "You have to remove the people, and you have to bring them back to their own country,” Trump stated.
“Springfield is such a beautiful place. Have you seen what happened to it? It’s been overrun. You can’t do that to people. I’d revoke [their protected status], and I’d bring [the migrants] back to their country,” he continued.
Donald Trump said he would “absolutely” revoke temporary protection status for Haitian migrants in order to have them removed from Springfield, Ohio, in an exclusive interview with NewsNation's @AliBradleyTV.
Trump previously attempted to revoke the TPS program during his last administration for migrants from Haiti, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Nepal, and Sudan.
His attempts, however, were unsuccessful, as the United States District Court for the Northern District of California stepped in and blocked the federal government from changing the migrants’ protected status for five years.
Currently, the Haitian migrant community in Springfield is estimated to make up around 15,000 to 20,000 people, putting a strain on city resources to accommodate the rapid influx of migrants in an otherwise small, quiet town.
According to the Congressional Research Service, over 200,000 Haitian immigrants have applied for and been approved to receive TPS services.
The city of Springfield saw the national spotlight after unconfirmed reports surfaced claiming Haitian immigrants were killing and eating pets, as well as local geese and ducks, which Trump highlighted in the presidential debate against Vice President Kamala Harris.
“I’m sitting here, I’m riding on the trail, I’m going to my orientation for my job today, and I see a group of Haitian people, there were about four of them, they all had geese in their hand,” said a 9-1-1 caller in Springfield to a police dispatcher.
Here is the official police report showing that the 911 call took place on August 26th – Weeks before the rumors about Haitian Migrants killing park animals went viral. pic.twitter.com/uNn9Pzcfo4
Many Springfield City Council attendees and TikTokers who live in the area also corroborated those claims.
Additionally, local residents have claimed that the Haitians do not understand American road or driving laws, and that many of them have been causing dangerous accidents.
“These Haitians are running into trash cans. They’re running into buildings. "They're flipping cars in the middle of the street, and I don’t know how like y’all can be comfortable with this,” said a local resident during a city council meeting on August 28th.
It is unclear how the migrants have enough money to purchase these vehicles, but many Haitians who have been living in Springfield for a year and a half or more have reportedly been able to find jobs and have been given enough government funds each month to purchase homes or rent out apartments.
“The slave revolt that brought Haiti independence indeed relied on voodoo, the New World version of ancestral African faiths. To this day, by various scholarly estimates, 50 percent to 95 percent of Haitians practice at least elements of voodoo, often in conjunction with Catholicism,” The New York Times reported.
After the “unconfirmed pet-eating” reports surfaced, a member of GOP vice presidential candidate JD Vance’s (R-Ohio) team reached out to Springfield City Manager Bryan Heck about the reports, to which Heck responded, stating, “I told him no." There was no verifiable evidence or reports to show this was true. I told them these claims were baseless.”
Although the pet-eating claims are still unconfirmed, Vance said he intends to uplift the concerns of local residents in Springfield who miss how their city once was prior to the influx of third world foreigners.
“We don’t blame the Haitian migrants for coming to Springfield,” Vance stated. “We blame Kamala Harris for opening the American southern border and inviting 20,000 people to get dropped in a small Ohio town.”

America’s political and military enemies are using asymmetric warfare on us, and we don’t even know it. Their means of attack? Immigration. The progressive vision for this tactic is meant to overwhelm the system, collapse it, and then rebuild. But our global enemies — from Russia to Iran — are using it to destroy the system completely. Thanks to Biden-Harris's mass migration policy, Glenn argues we are at the precipice of another 9/11-style attack. He takes you inside secret meetings in South America that some of the world’s scariest terrorists are attending — like the supreme leader of Hamas and the chief of operations for Hezbollah. Their game plan starts with recruiting Venezuelan gang members, taking them to Iran for “training,” encouraging criminal activity south of the U.S.-Mexico border, and then facilitating the spread of that violence to our own streets in America (like we saw with Tren de Aragua gangs terrorizing citizens in Aurora, Colorado). Donald Trump’s promise of mass deportation of illegal aliens is not racist. It is not heartless. It is — as JD Vance said in the CBS VP debate — common sense. Mass deportation has a long history of working under presidents like Hoover, Eisenhower, Clinton, and Obama. So why the crocodile tears now? Where are the tears for victims of open-border policies in states like New York, Colorado, Florida, and Georgia? The border crisis is no longer some abstract, faraway issue for the U.S. Border Patrol to deal with. It’s a national threat for the entire country. And catastrophe is coming.

Springfield, Ohio: Local Man EXPOSES City Officials on Migrant Crisis
Julio Rosas spoke with Bill Monaghan, a resident of Springfield, Ohio, to get to the source of the rising tensions in the area. Monaghan explained that although the massive influx of Haitian immigrants has been linked to duck disappearances, deaths as a result of reckless driving and women feeling unsafe in their hometown, the local administration has insinuated that anyone who speaks up is a racist. But these scare tactics haven't intimidated everyone.
A 39-year-old male suspect dressed in women’s clothes and a blonde wig has been arraigned after allegedly attempting to kidnap an 11-year-old boy.
On Monday, Joshua Freyermuth, who police say also goes by the name “Vicky,” was arraigned at Alliance Municipal Court for the attempted kidnapping.
Alliance Police reported that Freyermuth tried to kidnap an 11-year-old boy from his porch on South Webb Avenue in Alliance, Ohio, on September 22nd.
The police report also states that Freyermuth told the child “I need to talk to you” in a sense of urgency, allegedly utilizing a tactic to lure the 11-year-old off of his property and away from his dog.
However, after the child refused to go with him, Freyermuth ran up and forcefully attempted to grab the 11-year-old boy, but the child was able to get away, Alliance Police stated.
“I wasn’t even there,” said Freyermuth in court. “I didn’t kidnap anybody.”
The 11-year-old victim also claimed that his family dog began attacking the 39-year-old suspect as soon as he got close enough, which prompted Freyermuth to back off.
However, Freyermuth claimed in court that he had no dog bites on him.
According to a police report obtained by the Daily Mail, the suspect was arrested two days earlier, on September 20th, for possessing methamphetamines, paraphernalia, and obstructing official business.
During the investigation, Freyermuth was arrested after officers allegedly discovered 1.6 grams of meth in the van’s steering wheel, as well as a glass bubble pipe holding meth that was hidden beneath the driver's seat.
According to the report, Freyermuth attempted to obstruct officers by lying about his activities, changing his story several times, and providing misleading information.
The report states that there was “no reason to believe” the defendant was in the area “looking for children,” despite the arrest.
He was later released on bond following the September 20th incident.
Freyermuth is due back in court next Monday. His bond is set at $100,000 and he can not be in any contact with the 11-year-old victim.

Why do 20,000 Haitian migrants live in a small Ohio town? Are cats and ducks really being eaten?

OAN Staff James Meyers 12:03 PM – Tuesday, September 17, 2024
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced on Monday that he has authorized state troopers to be stationed at each school building in Springfield, Ohio after a series of “unfounded bomb threats” took place.
DeWine has said all 33 bomb threats received so far have been hoaxes.
Former President Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance have been blamed for recent bomb threats in the media, claiming they’re the reason these threats are taking place.
Turns out the "b*mb threats" that the media blamed Trump and JD Vance for for weeks were ALL hoaxes and some originated overseas.
“We have people, unfortunately overseas, who are taking these actions. Some of them are coming from one particular country. "We think that this is one more opportunity to mess with the United States,” DeWine said during a Monday afternoon news conference. “We cannot let the bad guys win. Our schools must remain open. They’re going to remain open.”
However, DeWine declined to name which country the threats were coming from.
The troopers will deploy explosive sniffing dogs and will work alongside the Springfield Police Department. Three dozen troopers will be assigned to provide security before, during and after school hours at the city’s 18 school buildings for the foreseeable future.
DeWine also stated that the Haitians who relocated to the area of Springfield for work are there under legal status.
“There are issues about immigration that anybody has the legitimate right to talk about and to debate. "The fact that our southern border is porous and is a total mess is a legitimate issue in a presidential campaign, a Senate campaign or any other campaign,” DeWine said.
Starting on Tuesday, 36 state troopers from the Ohio State Highway Patrol’s Mobile Field Force will be stationed throughout the school district.
They will start sweeping school buildings for threats each day before students and faculty arrive, remaining on-campus throughout the day “to provide security throughout the school day and during dismissal.”
“None of the threats that have come into Springfield to date have been legitimate. "We're doing this purely as a precaution to prevent further disruption within the Springfield City School District,” DeWine said.
Additionally, the Ohio Governor said he also directed Ohio Homeland Security to conduct vulnerability assessments on “critical infrastructure” in the city, as well as provide surveillance cameras to the local police department.
DeWine also stated that the problems with illegal immigration are legitimate issues to debate and something to think about when voting.
Meanwhile, nearly 20,000 Haitians have moved to Springfield over the past few years, a dramatic increase for a town that had 59,000 in it as of the 2020 census.

What’s really happening in Springfield, Ohio? Are Haitian immigrants eating ducks, geese, and pet cats, as internet rumors have claimed? Glenn spoke with Blaze Media National Correspondent Julio Rosas, who traveled to Springfield to find out the truth. He tells Glenn that while he can’t speak to how widespread the issue of missing pets and ducks is, it has been raised by citizens “for months.” However, that’s not the only thing. “ANY ISSUE that the residents have been raising over the 20,000 Haitians being put into their city…a lot of the residents feel that the city commission is just not listening to their problems, or they’re not willing to do anything about it because there is a lot of MONEY involved in the decision.” Julio describes what he heard from residents — women feeling unsafe, the city not enforcing fire codes, landlords renting out BEDS, not houses. Plus, he explains why some residents have either started to embrace the “new normal” or are afraid to speak out.
Next News Network's RAW FEED, hosted by Gary Franchi, brings you the shocking truth about the crisis unfolding in Springfield, Ohio. What's happening in this quiet Midwestern town of 60,000 is nothing short of an invasion, with a sudden influx of 15,000 Haitian migrants turning life upside down for residents. While the mainstream media tried to fact-check this story out of existence, reality has a way of breaking through. We're talking about a crisis so severe that Governor Mike DeWine had to send in state troopers and millions in emergency funding. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. The stories coming out of Springfield will make your hair stand on end. Residents are reporting disturbing incidents involving animals, from geese being hunted in broad daylight to allegations of pets disappearing. We have exclusive audio of a 911 call reporting Haitians carrying off geese and eyewitness accounts of vans full of cats. But it's not just about animals. The surge in migrants is putting immense pressure on local infrastructure and services. Health care systems are strained, housing is becoming scarce, and traffic incidents are on the rise. Governor DeWine himself admits that the sudden influx of 15,000 people into a town of 58,000 is causing major challenges. While the White House and mainstream media try to spin this as a non-issue, we're bringing you the voices of real Springfield residents. They're scared, they're angry, and they're demanding action.

"They're Flipping Cars.." The Ohio Residents' Meeting That Went Viral | Haitians Overrun Springfield
Rep. Kat Cammack, R-Fla., comments on the growing outrage over Biden-Harris' immigration policies and efforts to forge a government spending bill on ‘The Faulkner Focus.’
The city of Springfield, which is dealing with an influx of Haitian illegals that have brought the region national attention, will send additional law enforcement and millions of dollars in resources from the governor of Ohio.
Republican Ohio Governor Mike DeWine stated on Tuesday that while the “Temporary Protected Status” program has been implemented, which has allowed over 15,000 Haitians to enter the 59,000-person city since 2020, he believes more needs to be done by the federal government to assist affected towns.
The city of Springfield is at the center of one of the most controversial topics in this election. GOP vice presidential candidate JD Vance stated that “Haitian illegal immigrants” are “draining social services and generally causing chaos.”
This afternoon, I outlined the support the state has been providing Springfield and Clark County in relation to the surge of Haitian migrants into the community. It also announced plans to expand primary healthcare access and traffic enforcement in the area.
Springfield has seen its population grow by over 20% in four years, driven mostly by illegal immigration, PBS reported.
In an effort to stop the federal government from continuing to send “an unlimited number of migrants to Ohio communities,” Republican Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost authorized his office to investigate legal options on Monday, including the possibility of launching a lawsuit.
DeWine clarified that Ohio has already given Springfield extra funding to support driver education and training, pay for more immunizations and health checks in schools, and improve translation services.
“These dramatic surges impact every citizen of the community, every citizen,” he said. “Moms who have to wait hours in a waiting room with a sick child, everyone who drives on the streets, and it affects children who go to school in more crowded classrooms.”
The Ohio State Highway Patrol will be sent to assist local law enforcement on Wednesday in addressing traffic-related problems that have now arisen, according to officials, as a result of more Haitians using the roads who are not familiar with American traffic laws and not assimilating well into American culture.
According to DeWine, he has also set aside $2.5 million over a two-year period to expand primary healthcare services offered by private healthcare facilities and the county health department.
Additionally, in a Springfield police 9-1-1 call from August 26th, a local homeowner said on Tuesday that four Haitian immigrants were out at a nearby park holding dead geese whose necks had been broken.
The Federalist outlet was also able to obtain audio of a man reporting the incident to a local dispatcher, which was included in the article.
“I’m sitting here, I’m riding on the trail, I’m going to my orientation for my job today, and I see a group of Haitian people, there were about four of them, they all had geese in their hands,” the caller said.
Screenshots of a Facebook post from another resident of a Springfield local group also claimed that a friend’s cat went missing recently and was subsequently witnessed being prepared for dinner in the yard of a Haitian immigrant.
A handful of Springfield residents have voiced during public city council meetings that the surge in Haitian migrants and their “barbaric” methods of hunting local animals for consumption is distressing and has no place in their community.
However, a spokesperson from the Springfield Police Department still claimed that there were no “credible” reports of any illegal immigrants taking part in these acts, seemingly gaslighting community members and those who have personally claimed to have witnessed these situations.

Ohio city with Haitian migrant influx thrust into political spotlight
Springfield, Ohio, is at the center of one of the most fraught issues in this election. GOP vice presidential candidate JD Vance wrote that “Haitian illegal immigrants” are “draining social services and generally causing chaos.” Springfield has seen its population grow by over 20 percent in four years, driven mostly by immigration. William Brangham visited the city to understand how it is coping.
Opposing the swarm of illegals into Western countries is a duty of citizens who care about the future of their countries, yet globalist governments are encouraging the migration. The case below of Oumar Ball, a Mauritania man — an 86.3% Muslim country — who is facilitating “the flood of illegals” into Cincinnati is just one such case. Chances are that there are many such similar cases, even outside of Cincinnati.
Despite Oumar Ball’s actions, even he says “the federal government is just letting too many people come to the U.S. all at once.” It’s an obvious statement that anyone should be able to see. Everyone should also be able to understand that consequences will be seen and felt down the road. Leftists continue to push open-door immigration policies. Note how the article below starts: “The Washington Post is celebrating a man from the African country of Mauritania who is helping more poor Muslim migrants crowd into Cincinnati apartments and houses.”
What is there to celebrate? Helping people is one thing, but not at the expense of others. Many Americans are cash strapped as it is. Yet the Associated Press reported last year that thousands more Mauritanians were “making their way to the US, thanks to a route spread on social media,” through Nicaragua. And who is paying their bill? Most American taxpayers:
A lot of the money comes from the American taxpayer.
At every stage of a migrant’s journey, U.S. tax money smooths the way for people planning to enter and live in the United States illegally.
Start with the United Nations. The United States gave all the U.N. agencies $18 billion in 2022, representing about one-third of the total budget. The U.N. does many different things with that money, but one thing is to help wannabe border-jumpers make it to the border.
At a recent press conference, the Leftist Ohio Immigrant Alliance called on members of Congress to bring deported family members “back home to the United States,” despite the fact that the US is not their “home.” Among the attendees advocating for the return of deported family members is a woman named Wafaa Hamdi, who addressed the crowd. Her sister, Tina Hamdi, was deported in 2017 to Morocco “after serving a drug-related sentence.” Such immigrants believe that it is their right to live in America, not a privilege.
According to the Heritage Foundation, “the Biden Administration wants even more money to distribute illegal aliens throughout the United States.”
If Western citizens want their countries to turn into the very horror that illegals are running from, that is exactly what is slowly happening as they keep supporting globalist regimes.
“Migrants Invite More Migrants to Cincinnati: 50 People in One House,” by Warner Todd Houston, Breitbart, June 11, 2024:
The Washington Post is celebrating a man from the African country of Mauritania who is helping more poor Muslim migrants crowd into Cincinnati apartments and houses, straining the town’s resources and apparently breaking occupancy laws.
Even this man, who is working to facilitate the flood of illegals into the U.S., says that the federal government is just letting too many people come to the U.S. all at once.
Oumar Ball, a man native to the small majority Muslim West African country of Mauritania, arrived in Cincinnati in 2000. By 2010, he had become a U.S. citizen. Now, he is working to settle as many of his fellow Muslims in Cincinnati’s Mount Airy neighborhood as he can. However, he has often encountered a problem in Queen City: housing.
The city does not have a shelter system, and there is no “right to shelter” like there is in Massachusetts and New York. Ball has struggled to find places for his migrant friends to stay. The housing issue has caused him to stockpile them illegally in tiny apartments and homes of volunteers, including his own.
“It’s not uncommon to find apartments with 10 or 14 people in a two-bedroom apartment,” said fellow Cincinnati Mauritania activist Ousmane Sow. “And it’s all because none of us want to see Mauritanians out in the streets.”
The problem is growing, too. Doug Wehmeyer, the administrator and fire chief in Lockland, says that the number of migrants from Mauritania has doubled to 3,000….
