1
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: Billy cunning in the Great America, and welcome to this floor.

2
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 1: Is sunny Wednesday after being in the tri States, and

3
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: of course Joe Black goes dominating the news athletically, and

4
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: according to Tony Benner and others, they have their sources

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 1: deep in the bowels of the Bengals locker room. Looks

6
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,319
Speaker 1: like Joe Flack, who's going to start on Sunday in

7
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 1: Green Bay. The four to twenty five start gives him

8
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: an extra maybe three hours to get ready. So I

9
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: don't know how big the playbook's going to be, but

10
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,160
Speaker 1: he's got an extra three hours to do a little

11
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: bit better than Jake the Snake Browning. But other than that,

12
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: we got big issues happening in River City, including the

13
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: mayor's race, and of course half to have pure of

14
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 1: all is running. He looks good, he smells good, he

15
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 1: dresses well. But the policies stink. But that's a different issue.

16
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: And joining you nine now is the Republican candidate for mayor,

17
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,639
Speaker 1: Corey Bowman. And Corey welcome again to the Bill Cunningham

18
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: showing first of all as a father, as a business

19
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: owner in the West End, as kind of a normal person.

20
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: Why in the hell do you want to do this

21
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: When Kamala Harris got seventy seven percent of the vote

22
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: in the election in the city of Cincinnati, What is

23
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: Corey Bowman, the half brother of JD. Vance, want to

24
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: be the mayor of Cincinnati.

25
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 2: Well, Bill, first off, thank you so much for having

26
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 2: us on. You know, early voting just started yesterday. Me

27
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: and my wife went to the Board of Elections and

28
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 2: we voted. I will tell you who I vote for,

29
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 2: but I'm a little bias. You could probably figure that out,

30
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 2: you know. As far as me, you know, I've been

31
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 2: you know, pastoring and business owner in the downtown area

32
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 2: for about five years now. You raised in the area,

33
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 2: and for me, you know, just like many people on

34
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 2: both sides of the Yasle, we love this city. We

35
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 2: love the potential of this city. We love the sports

36
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 2: of this city except when we're playing and then we

37
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: kind of debate that every week. But besides that, you know,

38
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 2: we we care about the policies that affect the residents

39
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: of this city. And what I think is happening in

40
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 2: city Hall is that people have lost sight of what

41
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 2: truly impacts the residents of the downtown area. To neighborhoods

42
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 2: of our city, and that's what we've got to bring

43
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: it back to. You know, for me, my opinion is

44
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 2: that city Hall is nothing but glorified custodians. We've got

45
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: the keys to the city. We need to keep the

46
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 2: streets clean, we need to keep the streets safe. We

47
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: need to get a handle on crime from a city perspective,

48
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 2: and we need to make sure the money is spent properly.

49
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: And when you look through the budget of the city,

50
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 2: when you look at the crime that's happening in our city,

51
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: when you look at the potholes everywhere, you can tell

52
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: that people have lost sight of what truly needs to

53
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 2: be prioritized at city Hall. And that's why we're running well.

54
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: We had another terrible event on the heart of the city,

55
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: of course, is Fountain Square, another event in which shots fired.

56
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: I saw a lot of cones out, maybe twenty to

57
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: thirty cones. Two people are involved a gunplay on Fountain Square.

58
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: And every time I talk to city council members, they

59
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 1: tell me crime is down, crime is down. Are the

60
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: books cooked in the city of Cincinnati to give us

61
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: a defined result? So to have pierreval and others can

62
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: run on the idea that crime is down. What everyone

63
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: knows crime is up. Are the books being cooked at

64
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: city council?

65
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 2: Well, this is what I hear from city council a lot,

66
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: is that the perception of people is their reality and

67
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 2: so it's perceived as unsafe. Well, you know, we used

68
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 2: to counsel in our church a lot of youth in

69
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 2: the inner city. And if a kid came in with

70
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 2: a black eye that he said that, you know, his father,

71
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 2: his mother, you know, beat him the night before. We

72
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 2: don't look at that child and say that their perception

73
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 2: is their reality. We know that their reality is their reality,

74
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: and we do something about it. So to tell people that, oh,

75
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 2: it's only a perception that downtown is unsafe, but yet,

76
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 2: you know, Fountain Square got shot up last night. We've

77
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 2: had three shootings in three days, two of them were hobicides.

78
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 2: Then that's a slap in the face to people, to

79
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 2: business owners, to single moms, to families that are living

80
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 2: in the area that experience this on a day to

81
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 2: day base. You know, you asked, are we cooking the books?

82
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 2: What I will tell you is that at our church

83
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 2: on Clark Street in the West End, we've had three

84
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 2: instances where forty to sixty shots have come by the

85
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 2: street and they have run into car windows, into residents' homes,

86
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 2: and a lot of it gets reported as just simply

87
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 2: property damage. Right it's not even being reported properly. And

88
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 2: then a lot of people don't even call nine one

89
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 2: one anymore in the West End specifically, because we know

90
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 2: it's not going to get dispatched properly. These are administrative

91
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 2: failures that's happening from the top down, and that's why

92
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 2: we're running.

93
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 1: Two thousand cars are reported it's dolen. There's probably thirty

94
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: to forty thousand car break ins in the city of Cincinnati.

95
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: According to shot spotter, there's at least twenty thousand bullets

96
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: flying around the city every year. Think about a number

97
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: of twenty thousand bullets flying around that are picked up

98
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: by shot spotter. There's thousands more not picked up by

99
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: shot spotter. We have a police force down about twenty percent,

100
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: and so if crime is down supposedly twenty percent, it's

101
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: only down because twenty percent fewer cops are arresting people.

102
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: If cops aren't available to arrest anyone, of course, crime

103
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 1: is going to be down because cops are not arresting anyone. Plus,

104
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: can you address yourself to solutions. One of the solutions

105
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: a lemon kearney and have to have puival, is to

106
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: have a program where arm robbers are paid about one

107
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a month not to commit armed robberies and

108
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: are giving travel vouchers to other cities to enjoy themselves

109
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: to get out of the cauldron of the city of Cincinnati.

110
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: You think it's a good idea to pay arm robbers

111
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a month of tax payer money not

112
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: to commit more arm robberies? Is that a good idea?

113
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 2: Well, I'll say this, if you're paying arm robbers, then

114
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 2: a lot of people might choose a different profession to

115
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 2: try to get benefits of that payment in the next

116
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 2: few weeks ahead. But I will say this that we

117
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 2: do have solutions for this, and these solutions come from

118
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: the people that are boots on the ground. You know

119
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 2: when you say that phrase crime is doubt, I've said

120
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 2: to cop after cop that city Hall states that crime

121
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 2: is down, and immediately, I'm telling you right now, every

122
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 2: single one of them roll their eyes emphatically whenever they

123
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 2: hear that, because they know it's not true. They know

124
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 2: that they are trying to come up for air every night.

125
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 2: I've had officers that come in to my shop and

126
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 2: they'll look at me and say, if you don't win,

127
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 2: I'm going to consider early retirement because it is a

128
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 2: craftstorm of what's happening from the administration. These are officers

129
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: that care about our city, that got into the job

130
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 2: to be able to protect and serve, and so our

131
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 2: solutions from the top down are we're going to allow

132
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 2: the police offers to enforce the law. We're going to

133
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 2: remove any of these divisive initiatives like Actor SINCI or

134
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 2: three to one one or art programs that divide the

135
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 2: police department from the communities that they want to serve.

136
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 2: And then we're going to totally look at the ECC,

137
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 2: the Emergency Communication Center, and make sure that our call

138
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 2: takers are dispatchers in our administration in that department is

139
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 2: going to be run by people that have police experience

140
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 2: and know what they're doing. We're going to be doing

141
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 2: a lot when it comes to that, but I think

142
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: the biggest aspect is allowing the cops to do their job.

143
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 2: Because I talked with an officer right before the WBN

144
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 2: fireworks and I asked them, Hey, is there anything that

145
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 2: we need to make aware on social media to give

146
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 2: you guys some help, Like do we need to call

147
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 2: in for help from the state, Do we need to

148
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 2: call in for help from other sources? And the officer

149
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 2: looked at me and said, we just want to be

150
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 2: able to do our job. And that is the general

151
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,679
Speaker 2: consensus of what I get from CPD. They're not asking

152
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 2: for help from the state or federal They're just asking

153
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 2: to be able to do their jobs effectively. And every

154
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 2: decision that's being made from the administration has political aspects

155
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 2: of it, and they hate that. They just want to

156
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,679
Speaker 2: be able to protect and serve Corey Bowman.

157
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: As far as your relationship, your half brother is JD. Vance.

158
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier that Kamala Harris got seventy seven percent

159
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: of the vote in the city of Cincinnati. Is your

160
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: brother's presences the vice president of the United States? Is

161
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: that a positive or a negative in the city of Cincinnati.

162
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 2: Well, for me, my relationship with my brother is always

163
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 2: going to be positive. I'm never gonna be ashamed of

164
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 2: where my brothers come from and where he's taken himself

165
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 2: because in just such a short amount of time, he's

166
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 2: come from abject poverty, coming from the struggles that many

167
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 2: people in the nation know about, to then going to

168
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 2: the Marine Corps and then going to graduating early from

169
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 2: Ohio State University from Yale, and then rising up to

170
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 2: the Vice President of the United States as a family member.

171
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 2: I'm so proud of where he's come from. But at

172
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 2: the same time, I need people to understand that we're

173
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 2: running this race not as like a plant from the

174
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: federal government. We're running this race because we are trying

175
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 2: to do our part to help our city. And that's

176
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 2: exactly why we're running.

177
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, have you thought about bringing your brother into help

178
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: with the campaign.

179
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 2: My brother loves Cincinnati. You know, when we talk, I

180
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 2: will tell people this is that at the end of

181
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 2: the day, I need to have a brother, you know,

182
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 2: more than a political advisor. Because we talk about our kids,

183
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 2: we talk about you know, Star Wars, we talk about

184
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 2: all these other things. And he's got a lot of

185
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 2: bigger fish for fry whenever he's in the position that

186
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 2: he's in, and so when we have those moments together,

187
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 2: that's what we talk about. Now when it comes to help,

188
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 2: he's completely on board with what we're doing. He's endorsed us,

189
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 2: But I think that this has to be a race

190
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 2: that we're running and showing people that we're running this

191
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 2: for Cincinnati because the opposition that my opponent is trying

192
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 2: to use the city and trying to use all these

193
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 2: positions to try to get up to a higher level

194
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 2: in DC, whether it be a cabinet position or whatever.

195
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to do that. I'm actually just trying

196
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 2: to use my relationship with the SS to try to

197
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 2: impact Cincinnati in a positive way.

198
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: When I talked to business owners, there is one on

199
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: the banks that was in the Inquirer day. It's like

200
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: a mini martive sorts. He said. Every day, there's six

201
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 1: to ten fe every day coming in. He said. He

202
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: started using cameras. It turns out to be twenty to

203
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: thirty thefts every day from his store, he said, calling

204
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: the police, Cincinni Police, this is at the banks. This

205
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: isn't maybe in price Ill somewhere. It's worthless because they

206
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: have so many thieves coming into a store that people

207
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: walk in, take his tough and leave. And of course

208
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: he's about to leave the banks because he can't live

209
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: like that. You have many other individuals who were in

210
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: Oakley and at Hyde Park that had massive car break ins.

211
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: They don't call the police. They hit the nine to

212
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: one one picked up, Okay, we'll send a car. A

213
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 1: car doesn't come, and then they call back and say

214
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: I like to make a police report, and then nine

215
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: to one operator will say, well, we'll note that. And

216
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: so there's a feeling in the citizens of Cincinnati that

217
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: when crime takes place, it will not be memorialized, it

218
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: will not be noted. If the police are demoralized, they

219
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: don't show up. If you've been hired the past five years,

220
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: you're told as a police officer in Cincinnati, don't pull

221
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: people over for speeding violations or minor traffic. You might

222
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: have to go hand on because there's no license. If

223
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: your car is broken into, a just deal with the

224
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: insurance company. If your store is robbed repeatedly, maybe the

225
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: store owner said in the banks fifty to sixty times

226
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: a week he has known thieves enter his store a week.

227
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: So over a month, we're talking about two to three

228
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: hundred thefts, none of which are recorded. So it's not

229
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: surprising that crime is down. Also, when cops tell me

230
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: there's been two people taking their curfew violation centers because

231
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: the kids are now telling the cops how old are you?

232
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: I'm eighteen? Okay, you got your ID with you? I

233
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 1: don't have any ID. Cops can't arrest anybody on a curfew,

234
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: and cops don't want to arrest anybody on a curfew.

235
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,599
Speaker 1: So shots are fired, blood running in the streets. Shopkeepers

236
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 1: are being looted, Individuals are having violation of their personal

237
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: space in their cars. Bullets are flying into homes. None

238
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: of this is recorded as crime because they don't call

239
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: the police. And so how do you respond to the mayor?

240
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: Tomorrow night at Xavier there's a big, great debate there

241
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: and I'm sure the Democratic Party has already stocked the

242
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: audience in order to say patting themselves on the back.

243
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: I looked this morning in the inquiry lemon Kearney and

244
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: others are talking about crime is down, crime is down,

245
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: crime is down. It is a lie. How do you

246
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: tell the truth when the entire media in this town

247
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: and others are treating this issue of crime as if

248
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: it is something better than it's been in the past,

249
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: when we know it isn't. Ben Now you got me

250
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: a little bit fired up. I wish we had citizens

251
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: who would actually report crime and the city would note

252
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: what's being done. And like on Fountain Square, I saw

253
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: about twenty eight cones on Fountain Score at five point

254
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: thirty pm yesterday. I'm watching Shriek Palolo last night, and

255
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: once again on Fountain Square there's a sense that it's

256
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: the ok Corral. We have people being robbed, we have

257
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: women being sexually assauted, we have cars being broken into,

258
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: we have businesses being looted, and the city's mayor act

259
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: as if I see here and speak no evil? How

260
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: do you deal with all that? Tomorrow night? There's a

261
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: question in there somewhere.

262
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 2: Well, I'm telling you, Bill, what's been happening on the streets.

263
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 2: Every single thing that you just mentioned that is what

264
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 2: the citizens of Cincinnati are experiencing. And what you said

265
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 2: is how are people reporting crime? How are people doing this?

266
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 2: If people are fed up, this is what they have

267
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 2: to do. They have to go to the Board of

268
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 2: Elections during early voting, and they have to make their

269
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 2: voice heard. We have a debate tomorrow night. It's not

270
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 2: so much just focusing on the bat of the past.

271
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 2: We've got to focus on the hope for a future.

272
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 2: And I think that's what many people in Cincinnati have lost.

273
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 2: When everybody saw Joe Burrow run his foot, run his toe,

274
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 2: that everybody lost hope. When everybody saw that final inning

275
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 2: of the second game against the Dodgers. There's a lot

276
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 2: of hope that gets lost. And when people are seeing

277
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 2: what's happening in our city, a lot of hope is

278
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 2: getting lost. But I'm here to tell people we have plans,

279
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 2: we have policies. We know this isn't rocket science. We

280
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 2: can bring this city back. We can be able to

281
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 2: help our communities, the ones in low poverty, that are

282
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 2: business owners, the people that have expressed their interests that

283
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 2: they're tired of where the city is going. We can

284
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 2: actually make a difference. And this starts with this election.

285
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 2: Get educated on what the city council members that are

286
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 2: running stand for, and then you have a choice between

287
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 2: Aft Purvall and Corey Bowman. And I'm asking every single

288
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 2: person Unlike the other side, I don't feel that I'm

289
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 2: entitled to a vote. I don't feel that I'm entitled

290
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 2: to somebody putting a sign in their yard or getting

291
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 2: the word out. But what I will do is work

292
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 2: my butt off to say I want to earn that vote.

293
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 2: We have policies, we have plans, and we have a

294
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 2: heart for this city and we're not going to look

295
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 2: at party lines. We're going to look at what's going

296
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 2: on Cincinnati. And if that's the case with what you feel,

297
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 2: then I would encourage every single person get out and vote. Vote,

298
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 2: vote for Corey Bowman for mayor Cincinnati.

299
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: What does your website? Many want to know if they

300
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: want to get involved in help. What is your website

301
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: of any.

302
00:14:55,800 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 2: The website is Coreybowman dot com and Cory bow We've

303
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 2: got all of our structure in place. Every financial contribution

304
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 2: from here on out is going toward ads, and it's

305
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 2: going toward getting the word out to as many people

306
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 2: as possible that there's an election happening November fourth, and

307
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 2: that we actually have a choice. Because you're mentioning seventy

308
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 2: seven percent of the vote went the other way for

309
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 2: the presidential election. This is because people don't see a

310
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 2: point in voting in the city of Cincinnati. But there's

311
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 2: a sleeping giant of conservative values. There's a sleeping giant

312
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 2: of people that are moderate, that see common sense on

313
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 2: both sides, and they want to get out and make

314
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 2: their voices heard. I'm telling people you've got a choice

315
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 2: on November fourth, get out and vote, vote, vote.

316
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: All right, Corey Bowman, thank you. Your opponent looks good,

317
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: smell is good, acts great, but he stinks as the mayor.

318
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: Let's continue, Corey Bowman, You're a great American. And thanks

319
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.

320
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 2: Thank you, Corey, Thank you, Bill, to you and all

321
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 2: your listeners. It's not or being on.

322
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: God bless America. Let's continue with more and there it is.

323
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: And do I have hope, Yes, I always have hope.

324
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: I always have hope. Look at the Yankees last night,

325
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: losing six to one, and everyone stood up for Aaron

326
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: Judge and guess what the Yankees won. And I know Paul

327
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: O'Neill is happy about that. That's a different story. But

328
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: the city must be saved and Corey Bowman is the

329
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: man that can save it. Bill Cunningham News Radio seven
