Dan Carroll in for the great American 0:00:14.160 --> 0:00:17.120 Bill Cunningham. Bill Cunningham and enjoying a few days off 0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:19.560 this week. So I am glad to be here for him, 0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:22.239 and I am glad to be here with you as 0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:25.160 we rock and roll till three o'clock this afternoon. A big, big, 0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:27.840 big weekend this weekend all around the country with the 0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:32.159 what do we call that, the No King's Protest, And 0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:34.120 you know, I was I was looking at that, and 0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:36.640 I was singing to myself, I'm looking at all these 0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:40.040 different videos from the No King's Protest and the demonstrations, 0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:41.680 and you got these people who are out there and 0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:44.000 had all kinds of people who were out there asking 0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:47.040 questions about the people who are protesting or the people 0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:51.160 who were participating, and they simply, they simply can't answer 0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:55.480 our question. And the questions were, what is going on 0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:58.000 that makes you be out here today? 0:00:58.040 --> 0:00:58.200 Well? 0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:02.120 We hate Trump? Okay, hey Trump? Why? Well, he's he's 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:04.440 doing things, he's acting like a king, and I'm not 0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:09.800 exactly sure how that happens. So and the the videos 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:13.200 and the audio, and I was thinking about getting some 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:14.920 of those cuts and playing them today. But I mean 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:16.959 they're all pretty much the same. You get the they 0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:20.160 get these blank looks on their faces and they start 0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:24.440 stumbling around and they and it just seems like, I mean, 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:27.119 are they being paid to be there. I've heard where 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:30.440 George Soros has funded a lot of this stuff, and uh, 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:35.840 and and they're out there and they're singing it some 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:40.199 of the worst songs I've ever heard. I actually thought about, 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:43.279 uh bringing a couple of those clips in and playing 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:45.280 a couple of those today. But you look at you. 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:48.160 If you're interested in that stuff, you can you can 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:51.680 go out and find it for yourself. We are expecting 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:55.080 to have Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones on as 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:57.440 a guest today. We are David, we make any progress 0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:59.639 on that of getting getting hold of the sheriff. Okay, 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:02.880 so we we are endeavoring to reach out to this show. 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:05.640 He actually he put on his his Twitter feed is 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:07.360 x feed that he was going to be on the 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:09.840 show today, And I mean, you know, we set this 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:12.760 up during the course of the day yesterday and so 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:16.639 hopefully Sheriff Richard Jones will be here anytime now. But 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:21.760 interesting story that is developing a Butler County and according 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:23.639 to Foxwell, according to the news here to the top 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:26.040 of the hour, and Fox nineteen is saying that the 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:29.680 sheriff is going to rake in millions, millions by housing 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:35.120 illegal aliens. That's a pretty good deal. And the sheriff 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:39.920 just bumped up the rate. So starting next month, ICE 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:42.080 is going to pay one hundred and five dollars a 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:46.160 day for every ICE prisoner that is housed in the 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:49.840 Butler County jail. Right now, the rate is sixty eight dollars. 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:54.600 That's a pretty nice increase. And just eight months this year, 0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:56.800 the sheriff says his office has built the government, the 0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:03.840 US federal government, nearly nine million dollars, so that's not bad. 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:07.240 By the year's end, he says, that figure is projected 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:11.760 to hit twelve million dollars, six million more than originally projected. 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:17.560 It'll swell to twenty two million total next year. About 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:21.440 fourteen hundred illegal aliens have been deported from the Butler 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:25.120 County jail out of about seventeen hundred that have come 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:28.959 through in just eight months. Most Americans agree to fix 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:32.720 our borders. I'm going to do my part, and he says, 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:35.160 come here legally or get out. It's simple. That's Butler 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:37.760 County Sheriff for Dge Jones. And that's a story that's 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:41.080 posted on Fox nineteen right now. So we were hoping 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:44.360 to talk about that, and I mean, you think about that. 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:50.000 Here's a guy who has been in the forefront of 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:53.880 dealing with illegal aliens and god knows, they've had their 0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:57.960 hands full with the illegal aliens for whatever reason in 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:01.440 parts of Butler County. That's been going on for years. 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:05.080 And this guy has taken a no nonsense approach to 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:08.720 dealing with these individuals and dealing with the whole issue 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:12.240 of illegal aliens coming here to the United States and 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:14.880 causing problems and all the you know everything else that 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:20.320 comes with it. And now he's turned it around into 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:22.880 w a. He turned it into a money making opportunity 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:29.239 and paying one hundred dollars a day to hold someone 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:32.760 at the Butler County jail. Does that seem like a 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.640 lot of money? Does that seem for one individual? 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:37.000 What is it? 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:39.160 One hundred and five one hundred and five dollars a day? 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:42.120 It doesn't seem like it doesn't seem like well in 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:44.120 right now, I mean the rate of sixty eight dollars 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:47.080 a day? Can you go? Can you spend a night 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:52.880 in a hotel for sixty eight bucks anywhere? I've I 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:55.680 don't know what kind of hotel you're staying in, but 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:58.119 I don't think you can do that. So one hundred 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:01.320 and five dollars a day to hold illegals in the 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.160 Butler County jail, and look at it solves a lot 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:08.520 of problems. How many times have we seen Tom Homan, uh, 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:11.800 the different individuals who go out on the streets and 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:15.719 got to arrest these illegals who are out calls and problems. 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:19.960 And Tom Homan has said, if we could just get 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:25.400 some cooperation from local police chiefs, local sheriffs like Richard Jones, 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:32.239 local city councils and mayors, different governors and different states, 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:36.000 we'll just get some cooperation from them, things would be 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:39.360 a lot easier. But no, you've got to have the 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:43.880 sanctuary city policies and the sanctuary state policies, and you 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:48.279 gotta I don't know who who's the constituency for that. 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:55.240 Who When when you have a politician that wants to 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:58.680 make a big deal about having a sanctuary city or 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:03.120 a sanctuary state or whatever, the jurisdiction is, who does 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:08.960 that impress I've never been able to figure that out. 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:12.640 You've got people here who are here illegally, really don't 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:16.640 have a right to be here if someone is here legally, 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:19.279 or someone is here to do some work because someone 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:24.840 I've always thought that the immigration policies that we've had 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:27.640 at the border need to be addressed in a meaningful way, 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:29.560 and I don't know that we have done that over 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:31.680 the years, and I think we're paying the price for 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:35.320 it now. And thank god the Trump administration has been 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:40.040 serious about dealing with this issue. Dan Bongino was just 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:43.560 don Fox News this morning talking about the number of arrests. 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:46.640 I think what is the number, It was like thirty 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:49.240 eight or forty eight thousand. It is a huge number 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:53.880 of people that these ICE agents have gone out and arrested. 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:58.960 It's dangerous work, and it's made even more dangerous my 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:02.440 people who want to go out and standing their way. 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:08.200 So here's the sheriff turning things around in Butler County 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:13.800 and is having a windfall in Butler County because he's 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:17.520 got he's got the illegals that are being housed in 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:20.800 his prison. Let's see what else did he have to say. 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:24.360 I'm looking at this this piece from Fox nineteen. Now, 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:26.320 in any case, we're still trying to get ahold of 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:28.400 the sheriff. I'm he must have got busy all of 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:31.000 a sudden. Coming up on the show, We're gonna talk 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:33.560 to Corey Bowman at the bottom of the hour. Over 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:37.120 the weekend, Corey Bowman, who is running for mayor in Cincinnati, 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:41.800 made some news when he talked about his church. The 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:45.680 church he has was they discovered a bullet hole in 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.480 the church, and I'm thinking to myself, well, this is 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:52.000 kind of a big deal. Someone's taken potshots, and we 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:57.440 just saw that this dude who shot up the or 0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:00.320 shot at the what it was, the City Chicken Place, 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:08.400 has finally been arrested. So the whole idea that someone 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:11.000 drives by your building and takes a pot shot at 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:14.280 your building, it's not something that's really totally out of 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:20.480 the blue. It happens apparently with some regularity Instincinnati. So 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:26.000 Corey Bowman put out a statement over the weekend that 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:30.480 they discovered a bullet hole in their church and I'm 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:32.720 looking at a picture of it right now on the 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:37.840 WCPO website. They said the building was unoccupied during the incident. 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:41.839 It's been classified as property damage. But the one thing 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:45.840 I haven't seen is I've not seen a statement from 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:51.319 a f tab purvol the crying this incident or they're 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:55.000 saying that, you know, this is not the way that 0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:59.520 we should have public policy discourse in the city of Cincinnati. 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:04.840 Haven't seen any statement condemning these actions of someone actually 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:07.760 took a shot at the church that is run by 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:11.320 his political opponent. So we'll have him on to talk 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:14.920 about that. And then the whole notion of dee I. 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:18.280 I've got a guy on his name is Tim Manilla, 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:20.600 and that's it's coming up in a one o'clock hour. 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:25.400 Tim Manilla is with the Goldwater Institute and they have 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:30.840 been looking at DEI initiatives that have been going on, 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:36.800 and the whole, the whole arc of dee I seems 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:40.680 like it's coming to an end, the whole and it 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:45.240 coincides with the whole notion of all the all the 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:49.880 transgenderism nonsense that we've seen over the last several years, 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:52.600 and there have been there were several stories that were 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:57.920 posted last week about how this trend in transgenderism is 0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:04.280 coming to an end, that the Apparently the whole fad 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:07.080 of this may have run its course, and we are 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:11.160 starting to see, I mean, the numbers of individuals, especially 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:17.840 a college agent, who are identifying themselves as transgender or 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:24.520 non binary or whatever, some sex other than what they 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:27.400 were born as, not as they were assigned at birth, 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:33.040 but as they were born, that those numbers are literally 0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:38.160 falling off a cliff. Why because you know, the sizzle 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:42.200 has come off of that steak. People have stopped, by 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:48.520 and large, buying into this notion that this is something 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:52.040 to get behind, that this is a real thing. Are 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:55.920 there individuals who suffer with these notions that somehow they 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.920 were born into the wrong body? Absolutely, there's no doubt 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:04.960 about it. There certainly are individuals who genuinely suffer from 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:11.080 these ideas that God made them the wrong way. But 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:20.439 is there also a level of a level of activism 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:24.040 that is involved in this that has convinced people who 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:28.280 otherwise would not entertain these notions that they were born 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:32.000 into the wrong body. And if you've been involved in this, 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:35.480 if you have a family member, a son or a daughter, 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:41.480 or you know someone in your family that has been 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:44.760 caught up in this, there is no doubt in my 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:51.080 mind that you have heard the phrase from either that 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:56.440 young person or someone associated with them, maybe someone from 0:11:56.480 --> 0:12:03.080 the school, a counselor so called medical professional. You've heard 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:07.520 the phrase would you rather have a dead daughter or 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:11.880 a live son? Or a dead son or a live daughter? 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:17.040 And I have said since the very beginning of this 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:20.840 topic that that puts parents who care about their kids 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:25.280 in an impossible situation when they hear that, what sort 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:27.440 of decision, if you care about your kid, are you 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:33.880 supposed to make? And so it has been a lengthy process, 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:37.240 but a lot of that has been debunked now. And 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:40.880 the idea that we have all these different schools and 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:43.560 there are school systems out that are still out there 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:51.280 that are promoting this notion of transgenderism and queer theory 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:54.640 this and rainbow of that and all this other stuff. 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:58.720 They are still putting these notions out there. And I 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:01.520 think to myself, a school ishouldn't schools be interested in truth? 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:07.800 And one of the things, no matter if you're a teacher, 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:11.720 an educator, if you're on a school board somewhere, shouldn't 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:14.680 your school shouldn't you want to have a school that 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:19.600 is interested in teaching kids things that are truthful and 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:24.200 the notion that you can it takes some drugs, you 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:27.320 can have some surgery, you can put some makeup on, 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:30.200 you can change away your face looks that somehow that 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:33.400 is going to transition you from a boy to a 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:36.880 girl or a girl to a boy. I mean, shouldn't 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:40.240 we really be at the point, especially when we're talking 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:43.640 about kids who are in grade school, and a lot 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:46.640 of this stuff starts in kindergarteners. As soon as they 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:51.959 get into a government run school, they start getting bombarded 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:55.880 with this stuff. So yeah, so it's no wonder that 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:59.240 so many of them, who get influenced by what they 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:02.600 see online that they see at school have come out 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:05.080 and said, oh, yeah, this is this is me, this 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:08.000 is what you know. I am growing up, I have angst, 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:10.320 I have all these things going on in my head. 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:15.400 I must be in the wrong body. And to feed 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:21.840 into that notion and to bolster that whole idea that 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:25.760 you need to you know, you need to lean into that, 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:28.480 and you need to to take the drugs and do 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.840 the surgeries and all that stuff. It's all going away 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:35.680 because because there's simply no truth behind it. At least 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:39.320 that's what I think. So it's a good thing. So 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:44.240 in any case, uh that this whole notion about DEI, 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:49.360 you've got a you've got a administration in the White 0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:52.240 House now in Washington that does not play into that. 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:58.160 Meritocracy is the word, the the notion that we are 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:02.920 going to people because they are best qualified for the job. 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:09.080 The color of your skin, your genitalia, all those sorts 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:13.320 of things that shouldn't really make much of a difference 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:17.520 at all. Those sort of things are being put aside 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:21.360 now and we're talking about the best sorts of things 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:25.760 that you can do because you're qualified to do it. 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:29.200 So we'll talk to the Goldwater Institute about that. And 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:32.320 what they're saying is that, yeah, yeah, there's been a 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:36.320 lot of businesses, there's been a lot of colleges and 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:38.960 universities that have come out and done away with these 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:42.240 programs because the administration has said one thing, Look, you 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:45.800 want to can if you're if you're a university that 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:48.880 is getting money from the federal government, and you want 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:52.160 to continue with these DEI programs that they find discriminatory. 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:56.600 On their face, they're saying, look, you're in violation of 0:15:56.640 --> 0:16:00.200 these non discrimination policies that we're supposed to have and 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:04.040 so when that happens, they're saying, you know what, you 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:05.840 want to continue on with this, that's fine, but you're 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.440 not going to get any more money from us. And 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:12.440 so when you make that statement and you start cutting 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:15.160 off the money, well then that that really starts to 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:19.400 make a difference. So it's going to be an interesting commisation, 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:22.720 a conversation with Timothy Manella from the Goldwater Institute. So 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:25.680 I am looking forward to that. It is PubL. Twenty four. 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:27.840 We're going to get to a break news coming up 0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:30.040 at the bottom of the hour, and then Corey Bowman, 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:35.080 the Republican candidate for mayor of City of Cincinnati, is 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:36.840 going to join us. He's got an event that's coming 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:39.160 up later today too, So we'll plug that a little 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:42.040 bit along the way, and at some point we actually 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:44.040 open the phone lines and take a few of your 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:46.520 phone calls. At five, one, three, seven, four, nine, seven thousand, 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:48.800 or one eight hundred the Big one. It's Dan Carroll 0:16:48.840 --> 0:17:01.680 in for Bill Cunningham on seven hundred WLW. A right 0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:04.800 back on the Big one, seven hundred WLW twelve thirty seven, 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:08.480 Dan Carroll, Ford, Bill Cunningham and man we are just 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:11.960 striking out on guest today. He's supposed to have Sheriff 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:15.000 Jones on at twelve oh five. He finally called in 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:16.720 at the end of the segment. We're going to have 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:20.840 reschedule him for two to five this afternoon. So he 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:22.760 got busy with something and couldn't make it at twelve 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:25.760 oh five. And Corey Bowman is supposed to be on 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:28.280 right now and we are trying to reach out to 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:31.480 him right now, so we will see what happens with 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:36.399 the mayoral candidate, the Republican who could become the mayor 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:40.560 of Cincinnati, but Corey Bowman. According to and I Love 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:44.280 the headline in the Channel nine website, the mayoral candidate 0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:48.520 Quarterboman claims to have discovered a bull hole in the 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:54.159 church where he serves as pastor. Claims as if he 0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:59.280 may not be telling the truth. So the church put 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:02.639 out a statement on Saturday saying that they discovered in 0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:05.879 a bullet hole that penetrated an exterior window on the 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:09.400 Clark Street side of the church. He's filed a play 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:14.320 report with the Cincinnati Police and thankfully no one was 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:17.600 inside the building apparently at the time. And and he 0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:20.560 did say that that they they look at the they 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:22.680 look at the outside of the exterior of the church 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:26.160 all the time, so there's something going on out there 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:30.280 and we will see. And then this follows a lot 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:33.480 of negative comments that were posted on social media and 0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:36.920 the like, and so it's I mean, is there something 0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:40.600 going on with that. Hopefully we'll get a chance to 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:42.679 talk to Corey Bowman about that, you know, and I 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:44.399 wanted to ask him about what, you know, what his 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:47.320 take is on the police chief who is still twisting 0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:54.280 in the wind. It's just what is happening at city 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:57.440 Hall right now, in my opinion, is just an absolute mess. 0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:00.600 And you you make the you make the police chief 0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:04.760 come back from a conference in Denver and make sure 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:07.680 it gets out in the headlines. Everyone knows if you're 0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:10.720 going to fire the chief, fire the chief, but just 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:13.080 don't leave her twisting in the wind. And as of 0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:15.960 right this moment, we still don't know what the future 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:19.040 of the police chief in the city of Cincinnatis. And 0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:22.560 Corey Bowman is here now, and Pastor Bowman, welcome to 0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:24.639 seven hundred WLW. It's great to have you on. 0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:27.680 Hey, it's great to be on. Thank you so much 0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:29.119 to you and your listeners for having me. 0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:31.320 Well let me, since I was just talking about the 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:36.119 police chief, Teresa Thigi, give me your opinion on the 0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:39.080 way the kind of treatment that she is getting from 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:42.239 city Hall right now. You know, the headlines came out 0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:45.320 last Friday that she was at a conference with other 0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:49.680 police chiefs and in Denver they call her up and say, hey, 0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:52.680 you've got to come back. And when that normally, when 0:19:52.720 --> 0:19:55.719 that happens, it's not good. And look, if you're going 0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:58.520 to make a move on the police chief, just do it. 0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:01.680 But to leave her twisting and the win the way 0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:03.800 she's twisting in the win, it's not fair to her. 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:06.680 It's not fair to the people of Cincinnati. It's certainly 0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:08.760 not fair to the men and women who wear the 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:12.080 uniform every day and they don't know who's in charge 0:20:12.119 --> 0:20:15.480 of their police force. What say you, I. 0:20:15.400 --> 0:20:18.679 Think you're exactly right. You know, no matter what we 0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:19.280 see in. 0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:21.800 The city, this is a police chief that has devoted 0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:24.199 over thirty years of time to the city through the 0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:27.919 police department, Her and her family have all contributed to 0:20:28.000 --> 0:20:31.199 the city. And you know, let's not forget that this 0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:35.879 administration does have a history of not really letting go 0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:38.960 of people properly or not treating people properly when it comes. 0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:39.560 To these positions. 0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:43.080 I'm reminded of Michael Washington that got released from the 0:20:43.080 --> 0:20:46.359 fire department and now he's in what's looking like a 0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:49.120 settlement with the city that's going to cost the taxpayers 0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:52.200 money because it wasn't done properly. And so I think 0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:54.960 on the surface, you're seeing a lot of uncertainty, which 0:20:55.040 --> 0:20:58.520 doesn't leave the voters, doesn't leave the citizens of Cincinnati, 0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:01.640 and a lot of confidence the administration knows what they're doing. 0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:04.400 And then behind the scenes, you know the police officers. 0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:07.600 They just want to do their job. Police officers aren't 0:21:07.600 --> 0:21:09.760 trying to play politics when they're trying to keep our 0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:10.760 cities safe. 0:21:11.040 --> 0:21:12.880 And I don't think that this is a good look. 0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:15.320 For the city, and I think that just needs to 0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:16.160 be done differently. 0:21:17.040 --> 0:21:19.879 I was talking about the little bit of news that 0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:22.080 you made over the weekend when you announced that you 0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:27.000 discovered a bullet hole in your church downtown, and I 0:21:27.040 --> 0:21:30.600 love the headline on Channel nine their website there it 0:21:30.640 --> 0:21:35.600 says Corey Bowman claims claims to have discovered a bullet 0:21:35.600 --> 0:21:39.080 hole in the church where he serves as pastor, indicating 0:21:39.119 --> 0:21:41.399 that they're really not one hundred percent sure if you're 0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:44.880 telling the truth or not. So what do you make 0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:48.960 of the reporting on Channel nine? And maybe Corey Bowman 0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:50.720 is not exactly sure what he's talking about. 0:21:51.960 --> 0:21:54.840 Well, one thing I've learned since we announced our candidacy 0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:57.840 in February is that no matter what interviews you give, 0:21:57.960 --> 0:22:00.080 people are gonna report. 0:21:59.800 --> 0:22:02.560 Whatever they want to report. I will say this. 0:22:02.680 --> 0:22:07.000 We were doing our weekly inspection at our church, and 0:22:07.040 --> 0:22:09.199 as we did our inspection at the building and cleaning 0:22:09.240 --> 0:22:13.320 getting ready for our Sunday services, we found a new bullethole, 0:22:13.359 --> 0:22:16.639 what appeared to be a new bolthole, And so we've seen, 0:22:16.880 --> 0:22:18.600 you know, a lot of activity when it comes to 0:22:18.680 --> 0:22:21.720 attention on our church, our church members. You know, I 0:22:21.760 --> 0:22:24.320 want people to remember that I'm a pastor of a 0:22:24.400 --> 0:22:28.040 congregation as well that on Sundays we're not having political rallies. 0:22:28.840 --> 0:22:31.800 We're housing a house of worship for people that trust 0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:33.600 that we know what we're doing, that we're going to 0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:37.480 keep them safe. So I had made a report with ADPD. 0:22:38.200 --> 0:22:41.399 They dealt with the situation very well, and then I 0:22:41.560 --> 0:22:43.959 just knew, based on the nature of the campaign, that 0:22:44.000 --> 0:22:46.479 this was going to be a public report, police report 0:22:46.520 --> 0:22:49.160 I was already getting text from cops asking if everything 0:22:49.200 --> 0:22:52.040 was okay. So I made as a pastor, I made 0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:55.360 a public statement just telling people what was going on 0:22:55.520 --> 0:22:58.240 and assuring our church members that we were going to 0:22:58.280 --> 0:23:00.199 have the proper security and we were going to do 0:23:00.240 --> 0:23:04.119 everything within our means to keep our parishioners safe. And 0:23:04.160 --> 0:23:05.280 that's exactly what happened. 0:23:05.359 --> 0:23:07.240 So you say you found a new bullet hole, so 0:23:07.359 --> 0:23:10.719 this is and then look, we know that that there 0:23:10.760 --> 0:23:14.320 are bullets flying around Cincinnati all the time, so the 0:23:14.400 --> 0:23:17.399 fact that your your church gets hit with a bullet 0:23:18.359 --> 0:23:22.919 shouldn't be that surprising to anyone but you. But you 0:23:22.960 --> 0:23:25.479 are running for mayor. There have been a lot of 0:23:26.440 --> 0:23:29.359 a lot of a lot of negativity going on in 0:23:29.480 --> 0:23:35.080 social media directed at you and your candidacy, and can 0:23:35.119 --> 0:23:36.640 you connect the two? Can you? Can? 0:23:36.680 --> 0:23:36.840 You? 0:23:36.880 --> 0:23:40.440 Can you say it's a direct result. Maybe not, Maybe 0:23:40.480 --> 0:23:43.640 you can't make that direct connection. But I would suspect 0:23:44.000 --> 0:23:46.840 that at least the mayor might come out and say, hey, 0:23:47.359 --> 0:23:49.600 if there's a connection here, we can't have that kind 0:23:49.600 --> 0:23:52.960 of stuff. To your knowledge, has the mayor made any 0:23:53.000 --> 0:23:54.520 sort of statement to that regard yet? 0:23:55.840 --> 0:23:58.720 To my knowledge, no, you know, but I recognize this 0:23:58.800 --> 0:24:02.280 type of political climate that we're in, you know, and 0:24:02.320 --> 0:24:04.160 what we're in a lot of people want to make 0:24:04.160 --> 0:24:07.840
