WEBVTT - Mornings with Steve Hawkins in for Thom 1/2/2026 0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:04.480 A smell that fresh money news is being served. This 0:00:05.000 --> 0:00:08.840 is the Bloomberg Money Minute on seven hundred WLW. 0:00:08.600 --> 0:00:12.440 Right directors with us this morning. We got another report here. 0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:16.680 Let's talk about Tesla this start. Their sales outlook darkens 0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:22.040 despite Musk's self driving euphoria. That's right, Steve. 0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:24.759 Tesla's expected to report today that it delivered just under 0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:27.400 four hundred and forty one thousand vehicles in the fourth quarter. 0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:30.680 That's down eleven percent from last year, according to data 0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:33.599 compiled by Bloomberg and Tesla ended last year on a roll, 0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:38.559 with investors increasingly buying into elon Musk's excitement over autonomous vehicles, 0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:42.159 But winning over actual car buyers is another story. 0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:46.879 Yeah, okay, we got gold, silver, platinum. They've all been surging. 0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:49.040 But now the price of aluminum is going up. 0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:52.400 Yeah. Aluminums climbed above three thousand dollars a ton for 0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:55.200 the first time in more than three years on tightening 0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:58.600 supply outlook and long term demand bets. A cap on 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:02.840 Chinese smelting capacity and constraints to European production due to 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:06.920 higher electricity prices have chipped away at global inventories, while 0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:12.040 the demand outlook from the construction and renewable sectors remain robust. Copper, nickel, 0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:15.440 and iron ore futures also seeing gains, with copper resuming 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:16.480 its gains as well. 0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:18.039 So that's what that looks like. 0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:20.920 Okay, less than ninety minutes to open. We haven't been 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:25.040 opening the stock market since Wednesday, New Year's Eve. 0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:26.480 What are you seeing right now? 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:28.760 Well, it looks like market future is pointing to a 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:31.200 higher open right now. Dow futures up one hundred and 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:34.160 eighty two points, NASTAC futures up two forty five, SMP 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:37.640 futures up thirty nine from Bloomberg. Erica Herschowitz on news 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.000 radio seven hundred WLW. 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:40.920 Already, thank you so much. 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:44.200 Eight eleven on seven hundred WLW, Steve Hawkins in for 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:49.040 Tom Brenneman. We get to talk to Matt Rausch on Fridays. Hey, Matt, 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:49.720 how are. 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:51.800 You pretty good? Happy to be here? 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:53.680 Yeah, I hope you had a great New Year and 0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:55.160 stayed up till midnight partying. 0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:58.840 That's I certainly had a very fun night. 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:01.240 Yes, I did that to night that I stay away 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:03.400 from the TV, although there's a lot of great TV 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:07.120 that's happening. And Diana Ross ringing in the new Year 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:09.320 on ABC, which would have been a lot of fun. 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:11.680 But no, the night that I do some very New 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:14.480 Yorky things here, but I stay far away from Times Square. 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:15.840 If I can possibly do it, you. 0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:17.720 Have to, all right, let's kick it off. 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:21.160 Fox is wasting no time to get the shows on 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:22.440 the air this week, right. 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:24.920 Yeah, including one that's going to be a lot of 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:27.720 very familiar to people who have seen a show, a 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:32.239 long running British show on that was syndicated to PBS stations. 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:36.040 The show they're titling Best Medicine, which premieres on Sunday. 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:39.080 It basically is an American version of a show called 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:42.079 Doc Martin that has run for like ten years, and 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:43.160 many people who've. 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.080 Watched this show, it's one of those sort of. 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:47.600 Cozy medical dramas with a lot of comedy in it. 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:50.800 But the show is about this doctor and the doctor's 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:54.320 name is Martin Best, and it's played by Josh Charles. 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:57.239 And Josh Charles is a very familiar TV face. He's 0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:59.280 been in shows like The Good Wife and The Handmaid's 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.440 Tale all the way back to Sports Night as an 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:04.799 early Aaron Sorkin show. But he plays this guy Uh. 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:06.960 But he doesn't like to be called Doc Martin for 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:09.280 obvious reasons, because he don't want to say that this 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:12.120 is not Doc Martin. This is a show called Best Medicine. 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:14.040 But the idea here is. 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.440 That he is relocated from the big city of Boston 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:19.000 into a small town in Maine. He becomes the small 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.360 town's doctor. And the reason he had to leave the 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.639 big practice is because he has developed some very bizarre 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:27.120 and you'll find out later why, a diversion to blood. 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:30.040 So when he sees blood, he gets really kind of shaken, 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:33.000 which is not good for a doctor, I imagine. But but 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:34.920 but the idea is that he is also this not 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.280 He's not a people person, so to for him to 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:40.520 become the town doctor is an odd fit for him. 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:44.000 He does, and as he gets close to this town 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.880 with all these quirky people, he'll he'll soften up and 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:47.839 they'll get to like him. 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:50.600 But it takes a while. But the series begins on 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:52.520 on on on. 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.400 Sunday on Fox, and uh, and so the people who 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:58.000 have watched Doc Martin over the years, Uh, they're going 0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:01.120 to understand that this is basically the same show, only 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:03.760 with an American accent. But it is a show that 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:05.640 ran for a long time in England and the Fox 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:07.240 is lucky they'll have a. 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:08.280 Hit on their hands as well. 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:10.680 And it's a very it's more of a comedy than 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:13.120 a drama sometimes that there is a lot of medical stories. 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:16.320 So anyway, that's the new show. Fox is going to 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:17.760 have a lot of new shows on this week. But 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:19.520 also Sunday, I should point out that there's a new 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:22.560 episode of The Simpsons, which is going to be hitting 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:25.560 its eight hitdredth episode in a couple of weeks. But 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:28.760 this is a spoof of Severance, the hit show that's 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:30.640 up for a lot of awards. 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:31.400 On the Apple TV. 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:32.479 But Severance. 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.840 In this episode, Homer goes to work for this secretive 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.719 company that screws with your mind, which if you know 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:40.680 the show Severance, it's the show. But people when to 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:43.760 go to work, their outside selves are separated from their 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:45.680 inside selves, so the people at work don't know who 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:48.039 they are on the outside. People on the outside don't 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:49.880 know what they do on the inside. So we'll see 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:52.040 how this works in the world of Homer Simpson. So anyway, 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:55.400 that's happening, and then later in the week, Fox is 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:57.720 going to give us a new season, the fourteenth season 0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:00.440 already of The Masked Singer, which is of their big 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:04.680 hit shows where celebrities or people who are supposed to 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:08.680 be celebrities are hiding inside these huge, crazy costumes while 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:11.200 they're singing songs and you're trying to figure out who's 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:14.320 inside the costume. And some of the costumes this season 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:18.279 include egg Plant, a couple based on dogs like Queen 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:21.400 Corgy and Pudcasso, so I guess that's a pug that 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:25.040 looks like Picasso, scare of which is as big big spider. 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:27.880 And then there's a sometimes they do it and like teams, 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:30.200 and there's something to be called the Croissants. So those 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:31.719 are some of the people that you meet in this 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:32.400 new season of. 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:33.200 The Massive Singer. 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:38.160 Very silly show, but again the reality TV is upon 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:39.760 us and it's going to be a flunt of it 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:43.560 as we head into January. You know, the holiday hiatus 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:45.360 is over, so there's a lot of new stuff coming 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:46.400 on already in January. 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:49.840 Yeah, what very little I've watched with the masks Singer. 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:51.880 I've never guessed any of those people. I always feel 0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:52.440 like an idiot. 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:54.880 Well, and when they unmask them, it's like, oh, what 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.840 an anti climax Sometimes I go, is that supposed to 0:05:57.839 --> 0:05:59.560 be a famous person? Kind of like what happens on 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:02.200 Dancing with the Stars anymore? Though you never know, You never. 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:02.760 Know, all right. 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.880 For fans of reality competitions, we had some more of 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:07.240 that coming up this week's streaming. 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:10.400 Yeah, two of the biggest shows on streaming. The two 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:13.400 of the biggest reality competitions on streaming are back this week. 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:17.280 Amazon Prime Video they launched us a second season of 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:20.920 Beast Games, which became right away their most popular non 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:23.839 scripted show ever. These Games comes from a guy called 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:29.360 Mister Beast, famous YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson who creates these crazy 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:31.800 stunts on YouTube, but now he's turned it into a 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:34.719 game show where he brings on a hundred of the 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:38.359 smartest people and one hundred of the strongest people to 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:39.560 play opposite each other. 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:40.680 They whittle it down. 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:42.400 Of course, you have to have alliances because you never 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:44.200 know what the next challenge is going to be. Sometimes 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.560 it's going to be about brains, sometimes it's going to 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:49.000 be about braun And so these teams kind of have 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.400 to work together and the team and the teams get 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:53.440 little down pretty quick. There is a point at which 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:56.640 almost half the contestants are gone, like right away. But 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:59.720 they're playing for five million dollars, so the stakes are 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:02.839 really high. The stunts and the games are really wild. 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:06.240 And so Beast Games begins on Wednesday, and I think 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:08.680 with three episodes, and so that became a big hit 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.720 for them, and then one day later on Peacock they're 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:14.640 going to launch the fourth season of The Traders, which 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:17.280 has become a big hit with the Emmys. And this 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:20.400 is a series where it's all very devious and there's 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:23.640 people who's working against this the group's best interests, and 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:26.520 who's the trader and who's the hero You never really 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:28.800 know again until the end of the series. But the 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:32.080 cast includes a lot of reality TV veterans. You got 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:35.000 several Real housewives, You've got people who've you known from 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.760 Survivor and Love Island and Bachelor and Dancing with the 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:39.200 Stars and Top Chefs. 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:39.880 So these are like. 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:42.680 People who become famous on reality TV and now they 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:45.120 come together in this show. And then of course what 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:47.240 I've also seen happen is people who become famous on 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:49.760 The Traders go on to be on shows like Dancing 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:50.480 with the Stars. 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:51.560 So these things they. 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:52.320 Feed each other. 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:56.040 So you're going to get people like also Tera Lipinski 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:57.880 and Johnny Weir. You're going to see later on this 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:01.000 year at the Olympics. They're going to be in this season, 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:04.560 Football Mom, donnic Kelcey and lots more people. So anyway, 0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:07.000 The Traders is a lot of fun. Out on coming 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:09.760 is the host. And so that's happening on Peacock on Thursday. 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:11.720 And we got a new year here. 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:14.040 The dawn of a new year comes the beginning of 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:15.000 Awards season. 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:16.720 Yeah. 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:19.520 Yeah, every week you're just about going to give us 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:21.560 a new awards show. But the first up is the 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:25.760 Critics Choice Awards, and I guess out of the full disclosure, 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:27.960 I sit on some of the nominating committees for the 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:31.280 TV categories. They do both TV and film, but Film 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:33.520 gets most of the attention right now because everything is 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:35.720 a build up to the Oscars later this year. But 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:37.760 the Critics Choice Award is going to be airing on 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:41.360 USA Network and the E Channel on Sunday night, and 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:41.680 it's the. 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:43.160 First big Hollywood Awards show. 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:48.000 So you're going to see Sinners, the movie, the big 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:50.480 hit movie from last year that's leading the movie pack 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:54.320 with seventeen nominations. One battle after another with Leonardo DiCaprio. 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:57.080 That's close behind the fourteen. So those are again going 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:58.440 to tell you that these are the movies that are 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:00.280 probably going to be up for the Oscars ater on 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:02.960 when those nominations come out, and on the TV side, 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:05.360 I would expect you'll see sort of a repeatable what 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:08.000 happened at the Emmy's last year, because The Pit is 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:09.880 up for Best Drama, at the Studio is up for 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:13.959 Best Comedy. Adolescents from Netflix is a limited series favorite, 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:17.880 so they'll probably have their They'll probably do very well 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:20.240 at the Critics Choice Awards as well. I was really 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:22.480 happy that Alien Earth, one of my favorite shows from 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:25.200 last year, got nominated for Best Drama.

I thought we would look back on 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:36.080 twenty twenty five with Brian Combs from our newsroom. 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:37.079 Thanks for stopping by. 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:41.640 Absolutely the biggest stories of twenty twenty five that you 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:45.080 guys covered is a big snowstorm last January. 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:48.480 One of how it started twenty twenty five saw the 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:53.320 holiday break for many kids extended by three or four days. 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:56.520 The city and the Tristate area hit by up to 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:59.440 a foot of snow in spots, and for Cincinnati it 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:02.079 was parallel. I mean there were parts of Mount Adams, 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:06.160 you could not get through other neighborhoods locked in the 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.600 snow hit. Then the cold locked in that snow before 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:12.360 the crews could get to it. Come to find out 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:17.520 that the city had all kinds of issues trying to 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:22.680 handle the snow, including equipment that was broken down. Investigation 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:25.400 later revealed that about twenty five percent of the fleet 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:29.960 wasn't working. They didn't have adequate plans to use city 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:33.240 workers for overtime to get them in trucks and get 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:37.840 out there were in the past they would take people 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:40.360 from other departments, kind of making it all hands on deck 0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:44.080 thing when a snowstorm like that hit. But they found 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:48.560 out that those other department workers were not trained for 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:51.520 the job or they were just not willing to do it, 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:55.120 didn't want to volunteer, and the city didn't want to 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:58.040 force them. They went through six months at city Hall 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:00.760 of studying the issues they had with snow, removed and 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:04.120 hired a new public services director from Cleveland and the 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:07.160 guy who was used to dealing with big snows, and 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:11.960 so far since the storms that we've had, city seems 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:14.760 to have done a much better problem. But part of 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:17.200 a big part of the early part of twenty twenty 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:21.560 five was marked by the City of Cincinnati's failure to 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:24.200 be able to do basic things like remove snow from 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:28.080 the neighborhoods. Councilman Seth Walsh pretty much campaigned on it, 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:31.080 and he was a frequent guest on Scott Sloan's show 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:34.840 talking about his frustrations dealing with the city manager and 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:39.000 other people in the city who had neglected snow removal 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:41.520 in part because we really hadn't been hit by a 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:42.520 big storm in a while. 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:43.240 I mean, those of us. 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:44.800 Who grew up here know what it's like to go 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:47.920 through the winners of seventy seven and seventy eight, But 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:50.920 at that point the city leaders had not all right. 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:52.880 Another story that you guys covered, you. 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:55.960 Know, crime in the City of Cincinnati certainly has been 0:15:56.000 --> 0:16:00.400 one of the major themes throughout the year. Had the 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:05.880 tragic death of the Hamilton County Sheriff's deputy Detective Deputy 0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:10.400 Larry Henderson, who was directing traffic near uc He was 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:14.320 killed and what we come to find out was apparently 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:18.880 a revenge style murder over the death of the suspect's 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:22.440 son who was shot by Cincinnati police. That was the 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:25.880 Ryan Hinton case that dominated the headlines. After that all 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:28.800 played out in May, we had several cases during the 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:31.880 summer and that were very high profile, including the over 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:35.760 the Rye murder of Patrick Herringer and his wife. Then 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:40.680 became really the poster child for demanding action from city hall. 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:45.960 She was quite vocal in her frustrations with the City 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:50.000 of Cincinnati leadership over things that were not being done 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:56.880 to secure the neighborhood. Really started a city wide crackdown 0:16:56.920 --> 0:17:01.800 on crime that brought state police into town, you know, 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:05.119 new partnerships with the federal government to try and get 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:08.080 violent criminals off the streets for the year, and it 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:10.800 looks like violent crime and Cincinnati will end up being 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:13.879 down in the neighborhood of seven and a half to 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:17.920 eight percent. Final figures are not in yet. One casualty 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:21.480 of all the issues with crime with Cincinnati Police Chief 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:25.080 Teresa thigi Oh. She was suspended by the City of 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:29.960 Cincinnati an investigation launch, saying they questioned whether or not 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:35.679 she was effective in leading the department to deal with 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:38.879 such a big issue as the crime problem in Cincinnati. 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:41.960 We found out just a couple of days ago that 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:45.080 that investigation is not yet complete. They haven't found out 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:48.000 the reason why to fire her exactly, and the city 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:50.840 is going to have the investigators work for two more 0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:56.879 months to keep looking for issues. The crime issue became 0:17:56.960 --> 0:18:01.600 the big issue of the campaign of twenty twenty five. 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:07.240 Cincinnati Mayor aftab Perval was challenged by a West End minister, 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:12.240 Corey Bowman, who was the Republican candidate. Puval, in spite 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:14.920 of the issues with crime and snow removal and other 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:18.800 things that the city was criticized for, won in a landslide, 0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:22.000 wasn't close, and all eight of the incumbents who were 0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:25.840 on council who ran for reelection were re elected. They 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:29.720 were every one of them in the November elections. The 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:32.600 other interesting thing that happened in Hamilton County at the 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:36.119 same time was gains that we saw the Democratic Party 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:41.760 make in places that were considered incredibly blue incredibly red 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:46.120 that went blue, like Anderson Township. Republican incumbents lost two 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:50.240 trustee races there. The Republican Conservatives lost control of the 0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:55.320 Forest Hills school Board. Democrats scored gains in Springfield Township. 0:18:55.680 --> 0:19:00.760 Also outside Hamilton County, Mason saw Democrats win council races there, 0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:05.520 and Westchester saw a trustee races where Democrats that the 0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:09.280 question is that some kind of referendum back against Donald Trump. 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:12.520 One big story that's going to play out in January 0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:15.679 of this year goes back to July, and that was 0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:19.520 the brawl that happened downtown after the music festival and 0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:23.560 the assault charges that followed in what appeared to be 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:29.040 a dispute between white and black people. The one white 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:32.760 person who was charged in the case after the fact, 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:36.800 long after the fact, the Russian Alex Stravinsky, is set 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:39.960
