WEBVTT - 10-10-25 Willie with Steve Goodin

0:00:06.280 --> 0:00:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Hi, Billy cunning him the great America, welcome this Friday afternoon,

0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:11.200
<v Speaker 1>the Tristead. Of course, the big news is tonight, a

0:00:11.200 --> 0:00:13.360
<v Speaker 1>lot of great high school football going on. And then

0:00:13.360 --> 0:00:16.400
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday at four twenty five, the Bengali's take it

0:00:16.440 --> 0:00:20.120
<v Speaker 1>off against the Packers, and of course we have Flaco

0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Wacko Flacco is in charge. We have just changed Joe

0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:25.560
<v Speaker 1>for another Joe, and we'll see what happens. Burrow to

0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:28.360
<v Speaker 1>Flacco and the game starts at four to twenty five.

0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:30.880
<v Speaker 1>All coverage starts here about nine oh five am in

0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:34.479
<v Speaker 1>the morning, and that gives Joe Waco Flacco in additional

0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:37.200
<v Speaker 1>three hours to know the playbook and made me understand

0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:39.840
<v Speaker 1>what's going on and if he wins, if he could

0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:43.800
<v Speaker 1>beat the Packers twice over a four week period, he'd

0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:46.479
<v Speaker 1>be the first quarterback in an NFL history over a

0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:50.120
<v Speaker 1>four week period to beat the same team twice with

0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:53.440
<v Speaker 1>two different teams he's playing for, which is somewhat unusual

0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:55.640
<v Speaker 1>if you can follow my reasoning there. But the Bengals

0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:58.920
<v Speaker 1>do things quite unreasonable quite often. Why the Browns would

0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:02.360
<v Speaker 1>want to trade a functional quarterback to a division rival

0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:06.440
<v Speaker 1>that haven't beaten they haven't beaten yet. Cleveland Cincinnati plays

0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:09.199
<v Speaker 1>in about six weeks. Is beyond me. But Cleveland Browns

0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:11.840
<v Speaker 1>often make decisions no one understands, but joan of you

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.839
<v Speaker 1>and I now is the great Steve Gooden. He's running

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:18.360
<v Speaker 1>for city council. Unfortunately, he sees hope in the city.

0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:22.000
<v Speaker 1>And also he monitored the great debate last night. I

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 1>had on Corey Bowman a couple of days ago. After

0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:27.360
<v Speaker 1>have pure of all refuses to come on. But nonetheless,

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Steve Gooden, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham shun. First

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:32.560
<v Speaker 1>of all, I know you monitored the debate as much

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:34.920
<v Speaker 1>as your good stomach. Give me your ideas of what

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:36.800
<v Speaker 1>happened last night with a great debate for Mayor.

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, look, I think anybody that watched that debate that

0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 2>didn't conclude that our mayor is a petty, didn't skinned

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 2>individual who has no business in an office like that,

0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:53.640
<v Speaker 2>They weren't seeing the same thing I saw. It's all attack.

0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:57.920
<v Speaker 2>It's all trying to paint everyone he disagrees with as

0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:02.960
<v Speaker 2>a mega fashion extremists. He has nothing he can say

0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:07.800
<v Speaker 2>about his record, nothing to say about the gun battle

0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:12.720
<v Speaker 2>on Walnut Street on Monday night at five o'clock in

0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:16.200
<v Speaker 2>the afternoon when people were leaving their offices, where two

0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:18.600
<v Speaker 2>idiots got into a fight and started shooting and one

0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 2>of them got shot in the hand. It was just

0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:23.960
<v Speaker 2>he has nothing to say about the new crime stats

0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:27.320
<v Speaker 2>this week that show property crimes up more than one

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:30.520
<v Speaker 2>hundred percent downtown, that now shows that downtown is our

0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:34.000
<v Speaker 2>most violent neighborhood. Of all the neighborhoods that starts the

0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:36.960
<v Speaker 2>West End, Avondale, other places where we've seen gun violence,

0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:40.880
<v Speaker 2>Downtown is the worst. He didn't talk about our restaurants

0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:43.679
<v Speaker 2>being down twenty to twenty five percent. He didn't talk

0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:46.560
<v Speaker 2>about this River Roots Festival having to cancel all their

0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.120
<v Speaker 2>acts because of poor ticket sales because people are afraid

0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:51.760
<v Speaker 2>to come downtown. He didn't talk about any of that.

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 2>He just tried to say that Corey Bowman was some

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 2>sort of an extremist or something, and you know, it

0:02:58.600 --> 0:02:59.800
<v Speaker 2>was just it was a disgrace.

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, a few mothers. A few years ago, the

0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Tall Stacks came here. It was well attended, people going nuts.

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.880
<v Speaker 1>All the cruises were sold out, the dinner cruises, etc.

0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 1>People downtown. It was all great stuff. It was good.

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Now that we have river Roots is happening, and no

0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:18.520
<v Speaker 1>one knows that. I was unaware until I saw Paula

0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:20.720
<v Speaker 1>and her toadies a couple of nights ago talking about

0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 1>river Roots. I'm thinking, what is that? And so you're

0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:28.240
<v Speaker 1>telling me something I suspected. There's no buzz, there's no

0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:32.000
<v Speaker 1>feeling that those in Boone, Kenton, Campbell, those in Butler, Warren,

0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:35.440
<v Speaker 1>those in Columbus want to come to downtown Cincinnati, get

0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 1>a hotel room, walk around Fountain Square, maybe with kevlar on,

0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 1>go to the shores of the Ohigh, look at these

0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:45.320
<v Speaker 1>old river boats, get some rubber chicken, then go back

0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:48.680
<v Speaker 1>to the room if they're alive. And so that to

0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:53.120
<v Speaker 1>me is a clear indicator indicator about what's happening with

0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 1>river Roots, which is a dud. And I would think

0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.680
<v Speaker 1>the mayor would say, you know what these are? The

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Paula this is the last four years on crime, Support

0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:07.000
<v Speaker 1>the police, support the firefighters. We need affordable housing, We

0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 1>need better healthcare clinics, we need better programs of one

0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:11.120
<v Speaker 1>type or another.

0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:11.920
<v Speaker 2>None of that was.

0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:16.919
<v Speaker 1>He can't defend his record. So it's Tora Tora against

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Corey Bowman. So let's talk about number one crime you're

0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:22.120
<v Speaker 1>downtown a lot. You're a big time lawyer in addition

0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:25.200
<v Speaker 1>to being unfortunately running for city council. What have you

0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:28.080
<v Speaker 1>discerned the last two or three years the safety of

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:31.479
<v Speaker 1>downtown Cincinnati that those around the region, no I'm not

0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:32.360
<v Speaker 1>going down there.

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's exactly what's happening. I mean, you see it.

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:38.240
<v Speaker 2>You know. Look, I have an office right up this street.

0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:40.760
<v Speaker 2>I lived downtown for years, and I can tell you

0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.120
<v Speaker 2>it is less safe than it was four years ago.

0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:46.960
<v Speaker 2>They used COVID as an excuse to pull back on

0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:50.000
<v Speaker 2>some of the policing. We have a police staffing crisis,

0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:52.960
<v Speaker 2>which we've known for many years. There's not enough officers

0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:54.839
<v Speaker 2>to walk the beat, and a lot of the officers

0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:57.960
<v Speaker 2>are approaching retirement. Agent cannot be made under the contract

0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:02.400
<v Speaker 2>to work mandatory over time. It's a disaster. It's not safe.

0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:05.080
<v Speaker 2>People want to use our downtown. We have all these

0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:09.279
<v Speaker 2>beautiful new attractions, new buildings, new restaurants, but they're suffering.

0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:11.200
<v Speaker 2>And I look, you know it's so bad now that

0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:15.679
<v Speaker 2>the Inquirer has a regular column every month that tells

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:19.080
<v Speaker 2>you which restaurants closed They've got there. Keith panned off.

0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:21.280
<v Speaker 2>He's a great writer for the actually does a column

0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:24.240
<v Speaker 2>on closures and openings. Okay, so, and there's always more

0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:27.000
<v Speaker 2>closures and openings, and most of them ru in that

0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:30.320
<v Speaker 2>downtown area. It's killing these small businesses. There are people

0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:34.760
<v Speaker 2>who have put their entire lives, savings, everything on the

0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:37.040
<v Speaker 2>line to try to open small businesses there because they

0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.120
<v Speaker 2>were told, Look, the city's investing it over the Rhine,

0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:42.560
<v Speaker 2>investing in downtown. But if you don't invest in public safety,

0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:45.360
<v Speaker 2>all the buildings, all the rehabs in the world don't

0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:47.280
<v Speaker 2>make sense. If people are afraid of getting shot, they're

0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:49.719
<v Speaker 2>a free to getting shot. And on this River Roots

0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:52.679
<v Speaker 2>Tall Stack thing, I mean, you know, all the music acts,

0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:54.680
<v Speaker 2>all the big music acts, they had to cancel and

0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:57.320
<v Speaker 2>pull away. I mean they lost millions on this thing,

0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm told. And because the last time we had a

0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.800
<v Speaker 2>music festival, the Cincinnati Music Festival, the Old Jazz Fest,

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.560
<v Speaker 2>we made international news because of the attack on this

0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Holly and those people and the Fourth Street beat down

0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:11.760
<v Speaker 2>as they call it. So of course the older people

0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:14.320
<v Speaker 2>with people who have options and want to choose word

0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:15.680
<v Speaker 2>to spend their money, they're not going to come down

0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:18.320
<v Speaker 2>and take that risk. And we also go I mean,

0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:22.640
<v Speaker 2>my daughter runs a restaurant over in Covington, that Covington

0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:25.080
<v Speaker 2>and Bellevue were the ones that are reaping the benefit.

0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:27.600
<v Speaker 2>They have lines out the door from people who don't

0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:29.920
<v Speaker 2>want to come downtown because it's safe because you can

0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:33.800
<v Speaker 2>see police officers walking around Covington. Yes, because Bellevue has

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 2>lights and they haven't made so you know, people are

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.760
<v Speaker 2>voting with their feet. And it's to the dutchment of everyone.

0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:42.240
<v Speaker 2>And this is the council and active. They don't want

0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.880
<v Speaker 2>to talk about it. They have to go negative because

0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:46.120
<v Speaker 2>they really have nothing else to say.

0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:49.479
<v Speaker 1>And on Borough Love and Kevin had an headline the

0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:52.880
<v Speaker 1>other day about on the great debate is the National

0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Guard needed in Cincinnati? Instead of asking the question why

0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:59.760
<v Speaker 1>is the National Guard needed in Cincinnati? What are the

0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:05.560
<v Speaker 1>policies of the current administration that incentivize criminals and disincentivized police.

0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:07.960
<v Speaker 1>One of the great statements in Last Night is about

0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:10.600
<v Speaker 1>all the crime. We're enabling police to do their job,

0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:13.760
<v Speaker 1>is what f Ted Piroval says. We're enabling police to

0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:14.400
<v Speaker 1>do their job.

0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:15.280
<v Speaker 2>No, they're not.

0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:19.600
<v Speaker 1>There's millions of dollars being spent on social welfare programs

0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:22.760
<v Speaker 1>that could have hired an additional two underd police officers

0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:26.320
<v Speaker 1>instead of hiring cops. They're paying arm robbers one thousand

0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:30.040
<v Speaker 1>dollars a month as part of an ambassador program not

0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:33.640
<v Speaker 1>to commit any more armed robberies, including travel vouchers to

0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:37.080
<v Speaker 1>other American cities. Plus, I'm told some of the council

0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:40.920
<v Speaker 1>candidates have Iris Roley and others that are being enabled

0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:45.360
<v Speaker 1>to go after council candidates personally, and of course Iris

0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Roly can do that. She makes one hundred and six

0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:51.040
<v Speaker 1>or more thousand dollars a year as an ambassador of type.

0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:56.120
<v Speaker 1>She's the implementer of the so called so called initiative

0:07:56.200 --> 0:08:00.320
<v Speaker 1>to improve the relationship between the city and the cops,

0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:03.400
<v Speaker 1>and she's being paid to attack. Can you explain, have

0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:07.360
<v Speaker 1>you been the subject of an attack because the collaborative representative,

0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:09.880
<v Speaker 1>not an employee of the city, making more than comps

0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:13.440
<v Speaker 1>and firefighters, is being incentivized under the collaborative to attack

0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:17.920
<v Speaker 1>council candidates that don't like have tad purerival. Have you

0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:19.200
<v Speaker 1>been subjected to that?

0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:23.520
<v Speaker 2>I had been subjected to skating, although I think in

0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:28.040
<v Speaker 2>effective attacks by miss role Lee, particularly online. And look,

0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:30.320
<v Speaker 2>here's the way it works. This is the new version

0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:32.800
<v Speaker 2>of patronage at city Hall. You know, they do have

0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:35.920
<v Speaker 2>civil service protections for full time employees. They can't get

0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:38.719
<v Speaker 2>involved in politics. So what they do is they give

0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:42.120
<v Speaker 2>these big contracts to so called consultants or to nonprofits.

0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:44.480
<v Speaker 2>A lot of them are bogus, and that's how they

0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:47.200
<v Speaker 2>defund the police. They fund the money to these places.

0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:51.400
<v Speaker 2>So Iris, you know, used to be an activist outside

0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:53.439
<v Speaker 2>the city Hall and some of the stuff she did

0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:55.160
<v Speaker 2>was good, some of it was bad, but she was

0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:57.040
<v Speaker 2>on her own time and she had a right to

0:08:57.040 --> 0:09:00.480
<v Speaker 2>do it. Now she has a paid city content and

0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:04.400
<v Speaker 2>through a loophole, is not subject to civil service protections

0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:08.280
<v Speaker 2>and is clearly being used to attack people like me

0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:10.880
<v Speaker 2>that they see as being you know, actually, I think

0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:12.559
<v Speaker 2>the attacks are good news for me because it means

0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:14.440
<v Speaker 2>they must have some polling that show people like me

0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:17.640
<v Speaker 2>and Smitham and others are in the hunt. But yes,

0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:20.480
<v Speaker 2>they've come after me. It's very clearly coordinated. She and

0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:24.640
<v Speaker 2>Damon Lynch. You know, hundreds of people from I guess

0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:27.439
<v Speaker 2>from these church communities that they associate with, are on

0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:30.960
<v Speaker 2>Facebook and other places attacking me. My favorite is a

0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:33.280
<v Speaker 2>guy that keeps calling me, well it gives me a

0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:35.959
<v Speaker 2>white piece of dog crap every day I post something.

0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:38.240
<v Speaker 2>He puts that on there actually doesn't say crap, but

0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:40.320
<v Speaker 2>I guess I can't say the full thing here. And

0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:42.480
<v Speaker 2>my other favorite is one who keeps calling me, quote

0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:47.760
<v Speaker 2>a mediocre douchebag, which which is particularly offensive because I

0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:50.480
<v Speaker 2>thought I was an extraordinary douchebag. I really work hard

0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:52.400
<v Speaker 2>at it, so I was really hurt by that. The

0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:55.840
<v Speaker 2>mediocre part really hurts. But this is the kind of

0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:59.000
<v Speaker 2>stuff they do, and these are tax dollars paying this

0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.760
<v Speaker 2>woman who has no real metrics. We can't tell what

0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:05.640
<v Speaker 2>she does with her days, but she's out there not

0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:10.480
<v Speaker 2>promoting the mayor but attacking his critics. Well, now that

0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:13.520
<v Speaker 2>should bother anybody who from a taxpayer standpoint.

0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:15.640
<v Speaker 1>Does she put in forty tough hours a week? Is

0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:18.240
<v Speaker 1>she up there eight o'clock on Monday morning, she'll be

0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:21.720
<v Speaker 1>reporting to the collaborative. And then what happened a few

0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:24.360
<v Speaker 1>months ago is when she interfered with arrest and over

0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:27.640
<v Speaker 1>the rhine the police union Ken Kobra wanted her arrested.

0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:30.080
<v Speaker 1>In fact that he told the cops the next time

0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:32.880
<v Speaker 1>she interferes with an arrest, arrest her and that's the

0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:36.120
<v Speaker 1>number one said. That's exactly what she wants. She wants

0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:39.360
<v Speaker 1>to be a victim. So how can anyone say Iris

0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:44.840
<v Speaker 1>Rowlie is performing collaborative work when she has no work schedule,

0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:48.600
<v Speaker 1>she has no job. She collects serious money. I understand,

0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:51.360
<v Speaker 1>a three year contract worth four hundred and fifty thousand

0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:55.400
<v Speaker 1>dollars a year in order to collaborate with who about what?

0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:58.080
<v Speaker 1>And how can you be attacked when you're not in

0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.480
<v Speaker 1>office at all? And those in office not performing or

0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:03.280
<v Speaker 1>not attacked explain that one to me?

0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:06.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, I can tell you, I mean, I mean, apparently

0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:11.440
<v Speaker 2>she's curious at me because I went on the VXU

0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:16.120
<v Speaker 2>radio program and had the temerity to criticize her arrangement.

0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:19.760
<v Speaker 2>And we've also called out the fact publicly that she's

0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:22.600
<v Speaker 2>got her son working for her company. So again, if

0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:26.360
<v Speaker 2>she were an actual civil servant, the nepotism rules would apply.

0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:29.680
<v Speaker 2>So she's funneling money to her son as a full

0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:32.280
<v Speaker 2>time or a part time employee making forty five hundred

0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:34.800
<v Speaker 2>bucks a month. And again there's no metrics, there's no

0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:37.520
<v Speaker 2>time sheets. From what we can tell, I mean, we

0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.200
<v Speaker 2>don't know what they're doing or not doing. But I

0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:42.520
<v Speaker 2>can also tell you this when I talked to King Kober,

0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:44.640
<v Speaker 2>and I talked to my friends at the FOP, who

0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:49.319
<v Speaker 2>I am proud endorsed our candidacy. Her actions are one

0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:53.600
<v Speaker 2>of the number one, probably the number two issue with morale.

0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:56.640
<v Speaker 2>Number one is staffing by far, but number two it's

0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:59.360
<v Speaker 2>having people like Iris reporting to the mayor and the

0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:03.280
<v Speaker 2>city manager or who are openly critical of police, not

0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:06.079
<v Speaker 2>just individual officers but out there interfering with the rests,

0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:09.800
<v Speaker 2>but just critical of police in general, and calling to

0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:13.200
<v Speaker 2>defund the police by steering money toward her program. This

0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:16.640
<v Speaker 2>awful community responders thing they have. They've got a couple

0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:19.320
<v Speaker 2>millions stuck into that where they send social workers out

0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:22.520
<v Speaker 2>to crime scenes to do god knows what. Eventually when

0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:24.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna get shot. And I always say, if you

0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:27.360
<v Speaker 2>want to see how they're really defunding the police, drive

0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:29.559
<v Speaker 2>over some of these speed humps that they spent tens

0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:31.840
<v Speaker 2>of millions of dollars on. They're using those as an

0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:35.400
<v Speaker 2>excuse not to bring officers into patrol. The speed humps

0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:37.520
<v Speaker 2>are a form of defunding the police. It's tens of

0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:40.560
<v Speaker 2>millions of dollars. There's a whole recruit class plus in

0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:43.520
<v Speaker 2>those speed humps, and they just don't want the officers

0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:46.600
<v Speaker 2>out there doing traffic inter addiction anymore and writing tickets.

0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:48.680
<v Speaker 2>It's one of the reasons we have so many guns, frankly,

0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:52.000
<v Speaker 2>because a lot, as you know from practicing criminal law,

0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:54.880
<v Speaker 2>a lot of guns are recovered at traffic stops. That's

0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:56.959
<v Speaker 2>just part of how it happens. So we don't really

0:12:57.000 --> 0:13:00.960
<v Speaker 2>meaningfully do traffic in the city anymore on the speed humps.

0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:03.880
<v Speaker 2>And that's a form of defunding the police. That's the

0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:05.880
<v Speaker 2>kind of thing that she's Those are the initiatives she

0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:08.200
<v Speaker 2>and people like that have been pushing. That can't be true.

0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:11.640
<v Speaker 1>Crazy, None of this is true because the mayor said

0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.040
<v Speaker 1>he enables police to do their job, you know that.

0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:17.760
<v Speaker 1>And the other thing he said is affordable housing. I

0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:21.720
<v Speaker 1>like to know, and Kevin Aldridge push pushed back on this.

0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:25.160
<v Speaker 1>What is affordable housing the people's judge and I, you know,

0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:26.880
<v Speaker 1>want to downsize a little bit. Every now and then

0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:28.720
<v Speaker 1>I look at Oakley or Hyde Park. God knows, I

0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:31.480
<v Speaker 1>never lived downtown or OTR, but we wouldn't mind living

0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:33.960
<v Speaker 1>in Oakley or maybe Hyde Park and say we looked

0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:37.880
<v Speaker 1>at these new housing being constructed on at Oakley. It's

0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:39.679
<v Speaker 1>going to be home a rama. Do you know what

0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:41.960
<v Speaker 1>it costs at the minimum price to go in Oakley?

0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:46.319
<v Speaker 2>I can only guess you're in the four to five

0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:47.959
<v Speaker 2>grand a month in some of those for the departments.

0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:49.960
<v Speaker 1>From what I understand, Well, if you want to buy one,

0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:53.360
<v Speaker 1>it's one point three to one point six million, I

0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:58.040
<v Speaker 1>say one point three to one point six million in Oakley.

0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:00.480
<v Speaker 1>And if you want to have a rental, if you

0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:03.400
<v Speaker 1>want to run a place in and around hyde Park Square,

0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:06.240
<v Speaker 1>it's forty five hundred dollars a month. And so I

0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.920
<v Speaker 1>would ask the average American is one point three million?

0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Is that affordable? Secondly, is forty five hundred dollars a

0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:15.080
<v Speaker 1>month for an apartment?

0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:16.080
<v Speaker 2>Is that affordable?

0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:18.760
<v Speaker 1>So instead of talking about, well the last four years,

0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:23.120
<v Speaker 1>give me some results on affordable housing or development like

0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:26.440
<v Speaker 1>the Hyde Park debacle, Instead of doing that, he talks

0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:30.680
<v Speaker 1>about our plan provides more affordable housing. What the hell

0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:33.760
<v Speaker 1>does that mean? It's untethered the reality.

0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:37.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, nobody knows what affordable housing means when they

0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:39.920
<v Speaker 2>talk about it. I mean, if you're getting really technical,

0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:42.040
<v Speaker 2>and I do a lot of work in this world

0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:45.320
<v Speaker 2>with development, what he's really talking what I guess he's

0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:48.360
<v Speaker 2>trying to talk about, is this you know, income restricted

0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:50.760
<v Speaker 2>housing that the federal government pays for, you know, through

0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.760
<v Speaker 2>HUD dollars that they're trying to push. They're pushing it

0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:56.800
<v Speaker 2>on the same neighborhoods over and over, like the West

0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.000
<v Speaker 2>End and Bond Hill and Price Hill, and they don't

0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:02.040
<v Speaker 2>want anymore. They've at it with that kind of affordable housing.

0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.440
<v Speaker 2>But what the what they typically call what these developers

0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:08.720
<v Speaker 2>called naturally occurring affordable housing, which is you know, reasonable

0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:11.960
<v Speaker 2>rents because of good supply. We don't have that. Because

0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:14.800
<v Speaker 2>of the way our the city tax abatements have worked.

0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:17.840
<v Speaker 2>They're incentivized to build these really high end units and

0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:20.720
<v Speaker 2>get really high rents and try to get really high stuff.

0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:23.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, maybe iHeart will co sign with you on

0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:26.240
<v Speaker 2>a on a million dollar mortgage at the end, maybe

0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:28.600
<v Speaker 2>you could talk about that like some of your contracts.

0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:31.720
<v Speaker 2>But it is not affordable to the average person. This

0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.800
<v Speaker 2>Hyde Park development thing, the battle there. Those apartments were

0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:36.680
<v Speaker 2>going to go for forty five hundred a month. Yeah,

0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:39.320
<v Speaker 2>and they portrayed that as anyone who was against that,

0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:42.160
<v Speaker 2>They said, you're a nimby who's against affordable housing. It's

0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:44.840
<v Speaker 2>just nonsense. I mean, forty five hundred dollars a month

0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:46.920
<v Speaker 2>it did me to qualify for that is you know,

0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:48.360
<v Speaker 2>you would need an income well.

0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:51.040
<v Speaker 1>Over two hundred ran well six sixty thousand a year

0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:53.760
<v Speaker 1>in rent. And so if that's thirty percent of what

0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.120
<v Speaker 1>you're making, you'd have to make two hundred and twenty

0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:59.960
<v Speaker 1>five thousand dollars to maybe two fifty after paying taxes.

0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.680
<v Speaker 1>And that it doubt and af TAB Pierreval says that's

0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:06.480
<v Speaker 1>affordable to buy something in Oakley one point three million,

0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:09.080
<v Speaker 1>or to get an apartment in Hyde Park is forty

0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:12.120
<v Speaker 1>five hundred dollars. That's affordable. And he stands up there

0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:15.800
<v Speaker 1>and I'm one last issue. I'm told we are awaystation

0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:19.720
<v Speaker 1>to the glories of the administration of af Tab Pureval,

0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:23.960
<v Speaker 1>either in Columbus or Washington, DC, whether it's the clerk's office,

0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:26.720
<v Speaker 1>running for the Congress. He didn't want to become the mayor.

0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:29.480
<v Speaker 1>It happened because of what happened to PG Sittingville. That's

0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:31.880
<v Speaker 1>the only reason. So he's on his way to glory.

0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:34.240
<v Speaker 1>And now he's going to use all of his success

0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:38.480
<v Speaker 1>in Cincinnati to launch a nationwide or statewide campaign for

0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:43.320
<v Speaker 1>something af TAB for Ohio. How would that fly in Steubenville.

0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:47.840
<v Speaker 2>I think you know, I'm told he already has all

0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:51.400
<v Speaker 2>those website domain names purchased, but I think he may

0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:54.120
<v Speaker 2>as well just make he may as well just retire

0:16:54.200 --> 0:17:00.160
<v Speaker 2>those black because you know my understanding, islack. Look, you

0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:04.320
<v Speaker 2>know I've talked from our friends and well I think

0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:06.120
<v Speaker 2>he's well, first they're going to sue him. I think

0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:09.760
<v Speaker 2>that's some like intellectual property copyright infringement that'll catch up

0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:13.639
<v Speaker 2>with him. But this poor guy is going to have

0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:15.880
<v Speaker 2>a hard time if you ever run statewide. I mean,

0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:18.480
<v Speaker 2>this guy has been not just not endorsed by the

0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:21.800
<v Speaker 2>police union, but the FOP. They voted no confidence in

0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:24.679
<v Speaker 2>it in his performance, and that will haunt him throughout

0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:27.160
<v Speaker 2>the rest of his political career if indeed he has one.

0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:34.800
<v Speaker 2>But courts have some was station Yeah, Well he did

0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:36.479
<v Speaker 2>a number on the courthouse too. A lot of these

0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:39.360
<v Speaker 2>judges that he handpicked and selected and encouraged to run

0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:41.199
<v Speaker 2>are the ones that are letting these people out on
