WEBVTT - 10-8-25 Bill Cunningham Show 0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:09.119 Billy cunning in the Great America, and welcome to this 0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:11.920 Florio is sunny Wednesday afternon in the tri States, and 0:00:12.000 --> 0:00:15.320 of course Joe Plackco is dominating the news athletically, and 0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:17.760 according to Tony Benner and others, they have their sources 0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:20.360 deep in the bowels of the Bengals locker room. Looks 0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:22.919 like Joe Flacoho's going to start on Sunday in Green Bay. 0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:25.480 The four to twenty five start gives him an extra 0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:28.440 maybe three hours to get ready. So I don't know 0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:30.200 how big the playbook's going to be, but he's got 0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:32.480 an extra three hours to do a little bit better 0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:35.040 than Jake the Snake Browning. But other than that, we 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:38.680 got big issues happening in River City, including the Mayor's race, 0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:41.160 and of course half to have Pure ofval is running. 0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:44.159 He looks good, he smells good, he dresses well. But 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:47.240 the policies stink. But that's a different issue. And joining 0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:50.320 you nine now is the Republican candidate for mayor, Corey Bowman. 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:53.120 And Corey welcome again to the Bill Cunningham showing first 0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:56.200 of all as a father, as a business owner in 0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:59.360 the West End, as kind of a normal person. Why 0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:00.920 in the hell do you want to do this when 0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:03.760 Kamala Harris got seventy seven percent of the vote in 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:06.880 the election in the city of Cincinnati. What is Corey Bowman, 0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:09.000 the half brother of JD. Vance, want to be the 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:09.919 mayor of Cincinnati. 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.080 Well, Bill, first off, thank you so much for having 0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:16.880 us on. You know, early voting just started yesterday. Me 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:18.840 and my wife went to the Board of Elections and 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:21.240 we voted. I will tell you who I vote for. 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:23.360 I but I'm a little biased. You can probably figure 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:24.920 that out, you know. 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:27.640 As far as me, you know, I've been you know, 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:30.800 pastoring and a business owner in the downtown area for 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:34.479 about five years now. You raised in the area, and 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:36.960 for me, you know, just like many people on both 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:39.080 sides of the yaile, we love this city. We love 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:41.440 the potential of this city. We love the sports of 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:44.200 this city except when we're playing and then we kind 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:47.680 of debate that every week. But besides that, you know, 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:51.000 we we care about the policies that affect the residents 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:53.440 of this city. And what I think is happening in 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:56.520 city Hall is that people have lost sight of what 0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:59.600 truly impacts the residents of the downtown area in the 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:03.160 fifty neighborhoods of our city, and that's what we've got 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:03.960 to bring it back to. 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:06.240 You know, for me, my opinion is. 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:09.280 That city Hall is nothing but glorified custodians. We've got 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.400 the keys to the city. We need to keep the 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:12.919 streets clean, we need. 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:14.519 To keep the streets safe. 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:17.200 We need to get a handle on crime from a 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:19.760 city perspective, and we need to make sure the money 0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:22.640 is spent properly. And when you look through the budget 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:24.639 of the city, when you look at the crime that's 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.360 happening in our city, when you look at the potholes everywhere, 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:29.640 you can tell that people have lost sight of what 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:32.520 truly needs to be prioritized at city Hall. 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:34.560 And that's why we're running well. 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:37.280 We had another terrible event on the heart of the city, 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:40.840 of course, is Fountain Square, another event in which shots fired. 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:43.240 I saw a lot of cones out, maybe twenty to 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:47.480 thirty cones. Two people are involved a gunplay on Fountain Square. 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:50.080 And every time I talk to city council members, they 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:53.639 tell me crime is down, crime is down. Are the 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:56.800 books cooked in the city of Cincinnati to give us 0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:59.880 a defined result? So Ted Pierreval and others can run 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.520 the idea that crime is down. What everyone knows crime 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:05.280 is up. Are the books being cooked at city council? 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:09.080 Well, this is what I hear from city council a lot, 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:12.160 is that the perception of people is their reality and. 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:14.480 So it's perceived as unsafe. 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:17.480 Well, you know, we used to counsel in our church 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:19.280 a lot of youth in the inner city. 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:20.760 And if a kid came. 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:23.400 In with a black eye that he said that, you know, 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:25.799 his father and his mother, you know, beat him the 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:28.679 night before. We don't look at that child and say 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:31.600 that their perception is their reality. We know that their 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:33.440 reality is their reality, and we. 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:34.560 Do something about it. 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:37.840 So to tell people that, oh, it's only a perception 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:41.040 that downtown is unsafe, but yet, you know, Fountain. 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:42.400 Square got shot up last night. 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:44.920 We've had three shootings in three days, two of them 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:48.080 were hobicides. Then that's a slap in the face to people, 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:51.720 to business owners, to single moms, to families that are 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.440 living in the area that experience this on a day 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:55.040 to day base. 0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:57.960 You know, you asked, are we cooking the books? 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:00.560 What I will tell you is that at our church 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:04.000 on Clark Street in the West End, we've had three 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:08.160 instances where forty to sixty shots have come by the 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:12.680 street and they have run into car windows, into residents' homes, 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:15.480 and a lot of it gets reported as just simply 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:19.039 property damage. Right it's not even being reported properly. And 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:20.880 then a lot of people don't even call nine to 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:24.039 one one anymore in the West End specifically, because we 0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:26.520 know it's not going to get dispatched properly. These are 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:30.120 administrative failures that's happening from the top down, and that's 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:30.920 why we're running. 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:35.360 Two thousand cars are reported it's dolen. There's probably thirty 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:38.520 to forty thousand car break ins in the city of Cincinnati. 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:42.160 According to shot spotter, there's at least twenty thousand bullets 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:44.880 flying around the city every year. Think about a number 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:48.320 of twenty thousand bullets flying around that are picked up 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:51.320 by shot spotter. There's thousands more not picked up by 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:54.800 shot spotter. We have a police force down about twenty percent, 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:59.560 and so if crime is down supposedly twenty percent, it's 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:03.360 only down because twenty percent fewer cops are arresting people. 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:06.720 If cops aren't available to arrest anyone, of course, crime 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:09.880 is going to be down because cops are not arresting anyone. Plus, 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:13.480 can you address yourself to solutions. One of the solutions 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:16.039 a lemon kearney and have to have puival, is to 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:19.240 have a program where arm robbers are paid about one 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:22.359 thousand dollars a month not to commit armed robberies and 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:25.960 are giving travel vouchers to other cities to enjoy themselves 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:28.360 to get out of the cauldron of the city of Cincinnati. 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:30.960 You think it's a good idea to pay arm robbers 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.560 one thousand dollars a month of tax payer money not 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:34.919 to commit more arm robberies? 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:36.839 Is that a good idea? 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.680 Well, I'll say this, if you're paying arm robbers, then 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.400 a lot of people might choose a different profession to 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:45.480 try to get benefits of that payment in the next. 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:46.040 Few weeks ahead. 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:49.880 But I will say this that we do have solutions 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:52.560 for this, and these solutions come from the people that 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:54.600 are boots on the ground. You know when you say 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:57.840 that phrase crime is doubt, I've said to cop after 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:01.480 cop that city Hall all states that crime is down, 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.560 and immediately, I'm telling you right now, every single one 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:07.640 of them roll their eyes emphatically whenever they hear that, 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:10.680 because they know it's not true. They know that they 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.440 are trying to come up for air every night. I've 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:16.159 had officers that have come to my shop and they'll 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:18.040 look at me and say, if you don't win, I'm 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:21.720 going to consider early retirement because it is a craftstorm 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.960 of what's happening from the administration. These are officers that 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:27.520 care about our city, that got into the job to 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:30.320 be able to protect and serve. And so our solutions 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:32.719 from the top down are We're going to allow the 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:35.760 police offers to enforce the law. We're going to remove 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:39.560 any of these divisive initiatives like Act for SENTI or 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.680 three to one one or art programs that divide the 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:45.679 police department from the communities that they want to serve. 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:47.159 And then we're going to. 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:51.320 Totally look at the ECC, the Emergency Communication Center, and 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:54.520 make sure that our call takers are dispatchers in our 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:57.560 administration in that department is going to be run by 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:01.200 people that have police experience and know what they're doing. 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:03.239 We're going to be doing a lot when it comes 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:06.080 to that, But I think the biggest aspect is allowing 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:07.479 the cops to do their job. 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:10.880 Because I talked with an officer right before. 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:14.360 The WBN fireworks, and I asked them, Hey, is there 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:17.200 anything that we need to make aware on social media 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:19.080 to give you guys some help, Like do we need 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.040 to call in for help from the state, Do we 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:24.320 need to call in for help from other sources? And 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:27.000 the officer looked at me and said, we just want 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.600 to be able to do our job. And that is 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.960 the general consensus of what I get from CPD. They're 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.640 not asking for help from the state or federal They're 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:38.880 just asking to be able to do their jobs effectively. 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:42.880 And every decision that's being made from the administration has 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.640 political aspects of it, and they hate that. 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:47.640 They just want to be able to protect and serve 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:48.640 Corey Bowman. 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:51.760 As far as your relationship, your half brother is JD Vance. 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:56.000 I mentioned earlier that Kamala Harris got seventy seven percent 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:58.240 of the vote in the city of Cincinnati. Is your 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.600 brother's presence has the vice president of the United States? 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:03.920 Is that a positive or a negative in the city 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:04.600 of Cincinnati. 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:10.160 Well, for me, my relationship with my brother is always 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:14.120 going to be positive. I'm never gonna be ashamed of 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:17.480 where my brothers come from and where he's taken himself 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:19.880 because in just such a short amount of time. He's 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:23.120 come from abject poverty, coming from the struggles that many 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:25.760 people in the nation know about, to then going to 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:29.520 the Marine Corps, and then going to graduating early from 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:32.520 Ohio State University from Yale, and then rising up to 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:35.840 the Vice President of the United States as a family member. 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:39.280 I'm so proud of where he's come from. But at 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:41.839 the same time, I need people to understand that we're 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.800 running this race not as like a plant from the 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:48.480 federal government. We're running this race because we are trying 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:50.360 to do our part to help our city. 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:52.000 And that's exactly why we're running. 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:55.040 Yeah, have you thought about bringing your brother into help 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:55.840 with the campaign. 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:00.800 My brother loves Cincinnati. You know, when we talk, I 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:02.840 will tell people this is that at the end of 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:05.280 the day, I need to have a brother, you know, 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:09.360 more than a political advisor. Because we talk about our kids, 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:11.920 we talk about you know, Star Wars, we talk about 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:13.440 all these other things, and he's got a lot of 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:16.520 bigger fish for fry whenever he's in the position that 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:19.200 he in and so when we have those moments together, 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:21.800 that's what we talk about. Now when it comes to help, 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:25.199 he's completely on board with what we're doing. He's endorsed us, 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:27.320 but I think that this has to be a race 0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:29.920 that we're running and showing people that we're running this 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:34.679 for Cincinnati because the opposition that my opponent is trying 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:36.960 to use the city and trying to use all these 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:39.800 positions to try to get up to a higher level 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:42.439 in DC, whether it be a cabinet position or whatever. 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:43.880 I'm not trying to do that. 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:47.120 I'm actually just trying to use my relationship with the 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:50.240 Seeds to try to impact Cincinnati in a positive way. 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:52.560 When I talked to business owners, there is one on 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.240 the banks that was in the Inquirer day. It's like 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:56.360 a mini martive sorts. 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:56.839 He said. 0:09:56.880 --> 0:10:01.400 Every day there's six to ten thieves every day coming in. 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:02.080 He said. 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:04.720 He started using cameras. It turns out to be twenty 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:08.120 to thirty thefts every day from his store, he said, 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:10.720 calling the police, Cincinni Police, this is at the banks. 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:14.200 This isn't maybe in price Ill somewhere. It's worthless because 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:17.800 they have so many thieves coming into a store that 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:20.319 people walk in, take his tough and leave. And of 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:22.320 course he's about to leave the banks because he can't 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:25.240 live like that. You have many other individuals who were 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:27.680 in Oakley and at Hyde Park that had massive car 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:30.360 break ins. They don't call the police. They hit the 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:32.560 nine to one to one picked up, Okay, we'll send 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:35.240 a car. A car doesn't come, and then they call 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:37.160 back and say I like to make a police report, 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:39.600 and then nine to one operator will say, well, we'll 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:43.120 note that. And so there's a feeling in the citizens 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:46.320 of Cincinnati that when crime takes place, it will not 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:49.320 be memorialized, it will not be noted. If the police 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:52.240 are demoralized, they don't show up. If you've been hired 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:54.720 the past five years, you're told as a police officer 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:58.079 in Cincinnati, don't pull people over for speeding violations or 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:00.520 minor traffic. You might have to go hand on because 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:03.120 there's no license. If your car is broken into, just 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:06.760 deal with the insurance company. If your store is robbed repeatedly, 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:10.680 maybe the store owner said in the banks fifty to 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:13.840 sixty times a week he has known thieves enter his 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:16.200 store a week. So over a month we're talking about 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:18.760 two to three hundred thefts, none of which are recorded. 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:22.360 So it's not surprising that crime is down. Also, when 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:25.400 cops tell me there's been two people taking their curfew 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:28.720 violation centers because the kids are now telling the cops 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:30.679 how old are you? I'm eighteen? Okay, you got your 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:33.080 ID with you? I don't have any ID. Cops can't 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:35.880 arrest anybody on a curfew, and cops don't want to 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:39.120 arrest anybody on a curfew. So shots are fired, blood 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:43.640 running in the streets. Shopkeepers are being looted, Individuals are 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:47.760 having violation of their personal space in their cars. Bullets 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:50.880 are flying into homes. None of this is recorded as 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:53.040 crime because they don't call the police. 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:53.800 And so. 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:57.640 How do you respond to the mayor? Tomorrow night at 0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:00.600 Xavier there's a big, great debate there and I'm sure 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:03.560 the Democratic Party has already stocked the audience in order 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:05.560 to say patting themselves on the back. I looked this 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:08.400 morning in the inquiry lemon Kearney and others are talking 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:10.800 about crime is down, crime is down, crime is down. 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:13.880 It is a lie. How do you tell the truth 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:17.240 when the entire media in this town and others are 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:20.000 treating this issue of crime as if it is something 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:21.880 better than it's been in the past, when we know 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:22.320 it isn't. 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:24.240 Ben Now you got me a little bit fired up. 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:27.320 I wish we had citizens who would actually report crime 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:29.880 and the city would note what's being done. And like 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:33.040 on Fountain Square, I saw about twenty eight cones on 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:36.280 Fountain Score at five point thirty pm yesterday. I'm watching 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:40.440 Shrie Palelo last night, and once again on Fountain Square 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:43.600 there's a sense that it's the ok Corral. We have 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.640 people being robbed, we have women being sexually assaulted, we 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:49.720 have cars being broken into, we have businesses being looted, 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:52.720 and the city's mayor act as if I see here 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:53.760 and speak no evil. 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.760 How do you deal with all that? Tomorrow night? There's 0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:58.240 a question in there somewhere. 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:03.800 Well, I'm telling you, Bill, what's been happening on the streets. 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:06.719 Every single thing that you just mentioned that is what 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:10.600 the citizens of Cincinnati are experiencing. And what you said 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:13.560 is how are people reporting crime? How are people doing this? 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:16.240 If people are fed up, this is what they have 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:18.320 to do. They have to go to the Board of 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:20.920 Elections during early voting, and they have to make their 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:21.560 voice heard. 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:23.520 We have a debate tomorrow night. 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:26.680 It's not so much just focusing on the bat of 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:27.240 the past. 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:29.840 We've got to focus on the hope for a future. 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:32.679 And I think that's what many people in Cincinnati have lost. 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:36.720 When everybody saw Joe Burrow run his foot, run his toe, 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:40.200 that everybody lost hope. When everybody saw that final inning 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:42.880 of the second game against the Dodgers. There's a lot 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:45.480 of hope that gets lost. And when people are seeing 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:47.840 what's happening in our city, a lot of hope is 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:48.520 getting lost. 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:49.439 But I'm here to. 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:52.720 Tell people we have plans, we have policies. We know 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:55.800 this isn't rocket science. We can bring this city back. 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:58.439 We can be able to help our communities, the ones 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:01.360 in low poverty, the ones that are business owners, the 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:03.880 people that have expressed their interests that they're tired of 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:06.880 where the city is going. We can actually make a difference. 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:10.120 And this starts with this election. Get educated on what 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:13.400 the city council members that are running stand for, and 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:16.840 then you have a choice between Aft Purvall and Corey Bowman. 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:20.680 And I'm asking every single person unlike the other side, 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:23.520 I don't feel that I'm entitled to a vote. I 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:26.320 don't feel that I'm entitled to somebody putting a sign 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:28.840 in their yard or getting the word out. But what 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:31.120 I will do is work my butt off to say 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:34.240 I want to earn that vote. We have policies, we 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:37.000 have plans, and we have a heart for this city 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:39.440 and we're not going to look at party lines. We're 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:42.080 going to look at what's going on Cincinnati. And if 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:44.600 that's the case with what you feel, then I would 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.680 encourage every single person get out and vote. Vote, vote 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:49.560 for Corey Bowman for mayor Cincinnati. 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:50.760 What does your website? 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:52.880 Many want to know if they want to get involved 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:56.360 in help, what is your website of any. 0:14:55.760 --> 0:15:00.680 The website is Coreybowman dot com and Cory bow We've 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:04.040 got all of our structure in place. Every financial contribution 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:06.720 from here on out is going toward ads, and it's 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.160 going toward getting the word out to as many people 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:13.160 as possible that there's an election happening November fourth, and 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:16.840 that we actually have a choice. Because you're mentioning seventy 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:19.440 seventy percent of the vote went the other way for 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:22.960 the presidential election. This is because people don't see a 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:25.880 point in voting in the city of Cincinnati. But there's 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:29.560 a sleeping giant of conservative values. There's a sleeping giant 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:32.400 of people that are moderate, that see common sense on 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:34.840 both sides, and they want to get out and make 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:37.640 their voices heard. I'm telling people you've got a choice 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:40.800 on November fourth, get out and vote, vote, vote. 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:43.800 All right, Corey Bowman, thank you. Your opponent looks good, 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:48.400 smell is good, acts great, but he stinks as the mayor. 0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:51.760 Let's continue, Corey Bowman, You're a great American. And thanks 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:53.280 for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:56.200 Thank you, Corey, Thank you, Bill, to you and all 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:56.840 your listeners. 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:57.720 It's an honor being. 0:15:57.600 --> 0:16:01.320 On God bless America. Let's continue with more and there 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:03.720 it is. And do I have hope? Yes, I always 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:06.320 have hope. I always have hope. Look at the Yankees 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:09.560 last night, losing six to one, and everyone stood up 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:13.120 for Aaron Judge and guess what the Yankees won. And I 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:15.480 know Paul O'Neills happy about that. That's a different story. 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:18.040 But the city must be saved and Corey Bowman is 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:20.720 the man that can save it. Bill Cunningham News Radio 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:28.080 seven hundred WLW, Billy Cunningham, the Great American, Dave Keaton 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:31.160 hit the music, Big Things lie ahead. After one o'clock 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:35.040 today will be Julie Gunlock of the Independent Women's FORMIWF 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:39.560 dot org. And when you talk about. I'm often asked questions, 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:42.120 I have a son or a daughter there in their 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:45.520 teen years, you're in their early twenties, and they're getting 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:48.960 one side of almost every political issue in school. I 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:54.240 can't imagine the progressive liberalism being practiced by Cincinnati public schools, 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:58.440 plus many others in which normal American values of faith 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:02.720 in God and family in America are just not mentioned. 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:05.240 It's always playing the victim. Card I mentioned the other 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:09.800 day that we live in a society where the mainstream 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:12.000 media has one viewpoint and you better listen to it, 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:15.000 and if not, you'll be called nasty, dirty, rotten, filthy names. 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:17.600 And for those you know, mayor A have to have 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:19.920 pure of all, it's going to be an important race. 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:22.640 I think most smart money says Corey Bowman's got little 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:26.280 or no chance. But I hope he does, because I 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:29.400 hope those held captive, who are voters in the city 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:33.880 of Cincinnati, victims of the so called Stockholm syndrome, understand 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:37.119 what's happening in their town and the policies of those 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:40.200 of the politicians causing it should be held to account. 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:43.000 Whenever A have to have pure of all or lemon 0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:46.760 Kearney or Scottie Johnson pipe up. Public safety is the 0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:48.919 job one, two and three. The most important thing we 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:51.960 have is public safety. I might add fixing the potholes 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:56.040 is almost impossible, and law enforcement is being demoralized. 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:56.680 Talk to cops. 0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:58.640 They'll tell you their eyes roll back on their head 0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:01.720 when they have the mayor say, you know crime is down. 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:04.720 When Brian Combs just reported another shootout at the Ok 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:07.639 Corral also known as Fountain Square when people are getting 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:10.879 off work, there's a shootout, a gun play happening on 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:13.680 Fountain Square. But people getting shot all over the place 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:17.480 with dozens of shots fired, and it's downplayed in the media. 0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:21.800 Is no big deal a gunplay. Shootouts are common in 0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:24.959 the city of Cincinnati. A lot of it has to 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:27.600 do with the fact that when cops arrest people, the 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:31.560 judicial system we have not counting a judge. Josh Berkowitz's 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:34.640 a good man simply let these individuals go. I think 0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:37.160 I saw. I tried to watch it all on Fox 0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:40.560 nineteen with Tricia MACKEI you know, to bind over a 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:43.359 sixteen or seventeen year old who commits a murder, or 0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:46.080 rapes a child, or commits armed robberies ought to be 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:48.880 a given, because if you're using guns when you're sixteen 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:51.440 and seventeen to commit vicious crimes, you've done lots of 0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:53.040 things in your life to get you to that point. 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:55.520 I think the point of the story is there was 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:58.320 only one commitment so far this year to adult court 0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:01.040
