WEBVTT - 10-8-25 Willie with Cory Bowman

0:00:07.320 --> 0:00:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Billy cunning in the Great America, and welcome to this floor.

0:00:09.600 --> 0:00:11.960
<v Speaker 1>Is sunny Wednesday after being in the tri States, and

0:00:12.039 --> 0:00:15.400
<v Speaker 1>of course Joe Black goes dominating the news athletically, and

0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:17.800
<v Speaker 1>according to Tony Benner and others, they have their sources

0:00:17.800 --> 0:00:20.440
<v Speaker 1>deep in the bowels of the Bengals locker room. Looks

0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:22.319
<v Speaker 1>like Joe Flack, who's going to start on Sunday in

0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Green Bay. The four to twenty five start gives him

0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:28.240
<v Speaker 1>an extra maybe three hours to get ready. So I

0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:29.960
<v Speaker 1>don't know how big the playbook's going to be, but

0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:32.160
<v Speaker 1>he's got an extra three hours to do a little

0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:35.000
<v Speaker 1>bit better than Jake the Snake Browning. But other than that,

0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:38.040
<v Speaker 1>we got big issues happening in River City, including the

0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:40.000
<v Speaker 1>mayor's race, and of course half to have pure of

0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:42.879
<v Speaker 1>all is running. He looks good, he smells good, he

0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:46.599
<v Speaker 1>dresses well. But the policies stink. But that's a different issue.

0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:49.640
<v Speaker 1>And joining you nine now is the Republican candidate for mayor,

0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:52.639
<v Speaker 1>Corey Bowman. And Corey welcome again to the Bill Cunningham

0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:55.400
<v Speaker 1>showing first of all as a father, as a business

0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:58.640
<v Speaker 1>owner in the West End, as kind of a normal person.

0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:00.640
<v Speaker 1>Why in the hell do you want to do this

0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:03.680
<v Speaker 1>When Kamala Harris got seventy seven percent of the vote

0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:06.200
<v Speaker 1>in the election in the city of Cincinnati, What is

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:08.840
<v Speaker 1>Corey Bowman, the half brother of JD. Vance, want to

0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:09.959
<v Speaker 1>be the mayor of Cincinnati.

0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:14.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, Bill, first off, thank you so much for having

0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:16.959
<v Speaker 2>us on. You know, early voting just started yesterday. Me

0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:18.880
<v Speaker 2>and my wife went to the Board of Elections and

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:21.280
<v Speaker 2>we voted. I will tell you who I vote for,

0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:23.840
<v Speaker 2>but I'm a little bias. You could probably figure that out,

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:26.760
<v Speaker 2>you know. As far as me, you know, I've been

0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, pastoring and business owner in the downtown area

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:33.600
<v Speaker 2>for about five years now. You raised in the area,

0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:36.760
<v Speaker 2>and for me, you know, just like many people on

0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 2>both sides of the Yasle, we love this city. We

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:41.400
<v Speaker 2>love the potential of this city. We love the sports

0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:43.959
<v Speaker 2>of this city except when we're playing and then we

0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:47.720
<v Speaker 2>kind of debate that every week. But besides that, you know,

0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:51.080
<v Speaker 2>we we care about the policies that affect the residents

0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:53.480
<v Speaker 2>of this city. And what I think is happening in

0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:56.600
<v Speaker 2>city Hall is that people have lost sight of what

0:01:56.720 --> 0:02:00.920
<v Speaker 2>truly impacts the residents of the downtown area. To neighborhoods

0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:03.520
<v Speaker 2>of our city, and that's what we've got to bring

0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:06.000
<v Speaker 2>it back to. You know, for me, my opinion is

0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:09.359
<v Speaker 2>that city Hall is nothing but glorified custodians. We've got

0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:11.440
<v Speaker 2>the keys to the city. We need to keep the

0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:14.960
<v Speaker 2>streets clean, we need to keep the streets safe. We

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 2>need to get a handle on crime from a city perspective,

0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:20.919
<v Speaker 2>and we need to make sure the money is spent properly.

0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:23.320
<v Speaker 2>And when you look through the budget of the city,

0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:25.640
<v Speaker 2>when you look at the crime that's happening in our city,

0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:28.200
<v Speaker 2>when you look at the potholes everywhere, you can tell

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.560
<v Speaker 2>that people have lost sight of what truly needs to

0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:34.600
<v Speaker 2>be prioritized at city Hall. And that's why we're running well.

0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:37.320
<v Speaker 1>We had another terrible event on the heart of the city,

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:40.880
<v Speaker 1>of course, is Fountain Square, another event in which shots fired.

0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:43.280
<v Speaker 1>I saw a lot of cones out, maybe twenty to

0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:47.520
<v Speaker 1>thirty cones. Two people are involved a gunplay on Fountain Square.

0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:50.160
<v Speaker 1>And every time I talk to city council members, they

0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:53.679
<v Speaker 1>tell me crime is down, crime is down. Are the

0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 1>books cooked in the city of Cincinnati to give us

0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.720
<v Speaker 1>a defined result? So to have pierreval and others can

0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:02.000
<v Speaker 1>run on the idea that crime is down. What everyone

0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:04.680
<v Speaker 1>knows crime is up. Are the books being cooked at

0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:05.320
<v Speaker 1>city council?

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:09.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, this is what I hear from city council a lot,

0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:12.160
<v Speaker 2>is that the perception of people is their reality and

0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:15.520
<v Speaker 2>so it's perceived as unsafe. Well, you know, we used

0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:18.600
<v Speaker 2>to counsel in our church a lot of youth in

0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 2>the inner city. And if a kid came in with

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:24.000
<v Speaker 2>a black eye that he said that, you know, his father,

0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:26.720
<v Speaker 2>his mother, you know, beat him the night before. We

0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:29.640
<v Speaker 2>don't look at that child and say that their perception

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:33.160
<v Speaker 2>is their reality. We know that their reality is their reality,

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 2>and we do something about it. So to tell people that, oh,

0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.840
<v Speaker 2>it's only a perception that downtown is unsafe, but yet,

0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:42.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, Fountain Square got shot up last night. We've

0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.840
<v Speaker 2>had three shootings in three days, two of them were hobicides.

0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Then that's a slap in the face to people, to

0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:52.120
<v Speaker 2>business owners, to single moms, to families that are living

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 2>in the area that experience this on a day to

0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:58.040
<v Speaker 2>day base. You know, you asked, are we cooking the books?

0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:00.600
<v Speaker 2>What I will tell you is that at our church

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:04.040
<v Speaker 2>on Clark Street in the West End, we've had three

0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:08.200
<v Speaker 2>instances where forty to sixty shots have come by the

0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 2>street and they have run into car windows, into residents' homes,

0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:15.600
<v Speaker 2>and a lot of it gets reported as just simply

0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:19.080
<v Speaker 2>property damage. Right it's not even being reported properly. And

0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:21.120
<v Speaker 2>then a lot of people don't even call nine one

0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:24.240
<v Speaker 2>one anymore in the West End specifically, because we know

0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:27.440
<v Speaker 2>it's not going to get dispatched properly. These are administrative

0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:30.360
<v Speaker 2>failures that's happening from the top down, and that's why

0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:30.960
<v Speaker 2>we're running.

0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:35.359
<v Speaker 1>Two thousand cars are reported it's dolen. There's probably thirty

0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:38.560
<v Speaker 1>to forty thousand car break ins in the city of Cincinnati.

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:42.200
<v Speaker 1>According to shot spotter, there's at least twenty thousand bullets

0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:44.880
<v Speaker 1>flying around the city every year. Think about a number

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:48.360
<v Speaker 1>of twenty thousand bullets flying around that are picked up

0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:51.360
<v Speaker 1>by shot spotter. There's thousands more not picked up by

0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.840
<v Speaker 1>shot spotter. We have a police force down about twenty percent,

0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:59.599
<v Speaker 1>and so if crime is down supposedly twenty percent, it's

0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:03.400
<v Speaker 1>only down because twenty percent fewer cops are arresting people.

0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:06.760
<v Speaker 1>If cops aren't available to arrest anyone, of course, crime

0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:09.919
<v Speaker 1>is going to be down because cops are not arresting anyone. Plus,

0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:13.520
<v Speaker 1>can you address yourself to solutions. One of the solutions

0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:16.080
<v Speaker 1>a lemon kearney and have to have puival, is to

0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:19.320
<v Speaker 1>have a program where arm robbers are paid about one

0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:22.400
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars a month not to commit armed robberies and

0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 1>are giving travel vouchers to other cities to enjoy themselves

0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:28.400
<v Speaker 1>to get out of the cauldron of the city of Cincinnati.

0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.000
<v Speaker 1>You think it's a good idea to pay arm robbers

0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:33.599
<v Speaker 1>one thousand dollars a month of tax payer money not

0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:36.880
<v Speaker 1>to commit more arm robberies? Is that a good idea?

0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:39.719
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'll say this, if you're paying arm robbers, then

0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:42.440
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people might choose a different profession to

0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.280
<v Speaker 2>try to get benefits of that payment in the next

0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:48.760
<v Speaker 2>few weeks ahead. But I will say this that we

0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:52.039
<v Speaker 2>do have solutions for this, and these solutions come from

0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:54.000
<v Speaker 2>the people that are boots on the ground. You know

0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:56.960
<v Speaker 2>when you say that phrase crime is doubt, I've said

0:05:57.080 --> 0:06:01.040
<v Speaker 2>to cop after cop that city Hall states that crime

0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:04.159
<v Speaker 2>is down, and immediately, I'm telling you right now, every

0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:07.280
<v Speaker 2>single one of them roll their eyes emphatically whenever they

0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:10.200
<v Speaker 2>hear that, because they know it's not true. They know

0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:13.040
<v Speaker 2>that they are trying to come up for air every night.

0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:16.000
<v Speaker 2>I've had officers that come in to my shop and

0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:17.880
<v Speaker 2>they'll look at me and say, if you don't win,

0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:20.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to consider early retirement because it is a

0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:24.920
<v Speaker 2>craftstorm of what's happening from the administration. These are officers

0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:27.400
<v Speaker 2>that care about our city, that got into the job

0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:29.720
<v Speaker 2>to be able to protect and serve, and so our

0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:32.599
<v Speaker 2>solutions from the top down are we're going to allow

0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.320
<v Speaker 2>the police offers to enforce the law. We're going to

0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:39.640
<v Speaker 2>remove any of these divisive initiatives like Actor SINCI or

0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.720
<v Speaker 2>three to one one or art programs that divide the

0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:45.719
<v Speaker 2>police department from the communities that they want to serve.

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:48.839
<v Speaker 2>And then we're going to totally look at the ECC,

0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:52.520
<v Speaker 2>the Emergency Communication Center, and make sure that our call

0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:56.719
<v Speaker 2>takers are dispatchers in our administration in that department is

0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.840
<v Speaker 2>going to be run by people that have police experience

0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.240
<v Speaker 2>and know what they're doing. We're going to be doing

0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:04.160
<v Speaker 2>a lot when it comes to that, but I think

0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:07.520
<v Speaker 2>the biggest aspect is allowing the cops to do their job.

0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:11.520
<v Speaker 2>Because I talked with an officer right before the WBN

0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:14.960
<v Speaker 2>fireworks and I asked them, Hey, is there anything that

0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.640
<v Speaker 2>we need to make aware on social media to give

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:19.440
<v Speaker 2>you guys some help, Like do we need to call

0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:21.360
<v Speaker 2>in for help from the state, Do we need to

0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:25.320
<v Speaker 2>call in for help from other sources? And the officer

0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:27.240
<v Speaker 2>looked at me and said, we just want to be

0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:30.120
<v Speaker 2>able to do our job. And that is the general

0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:33.679
<v Speaker 2>consensus of what I get from CPD. They're not asking

0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:36.400
<v Speaker 2>for help from the state or federal They're just asking

0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:39.960
<v Speaker 2>to be able to do their jobs effectively. And every

0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:44.480
<v Speaker 2>decision that's being made from the administration has political aspects

0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:46.440
<v Speaker 2>of it, and they hate that. They just want to

0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:48.679
<v Speaker 2>be able to protect and serve Corey Bowman.

0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:51.800
<v Speaker 1>As far as your relationship, your half brother is JD. Vance.

0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:56.040
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned earlier that Kamala Harris got seventy seven percent

0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 1>of the vote in the city of Cincinnati. Is your

0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.920
<v Speaker 1>brother's presences the vice president of the United States? Is

0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:04.680
<v Speaker 1>that a positive or a negative in the city of Cincinnati.

0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:10.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, for me, my relationship with my brother is always

0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:14.160
<v Speaker 2>going to be positive. I'm never gonna be ashamed of

0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:17.520
<v Speaker 2>where my brothers come from and where he's taken himself

0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:19.920
<v Speaker 2>because in just such a short amount of time, he's

0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:23.200
<v Speaker 2>come from abject poverty, coming from the struggles that many

0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:25.880
<v Speaker 2>people in the nation know about, to then going to

0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:29.600
<v Speaker 2>the Marine Corps and then going to graduating early from

0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:32.600
<v Speaker 2>Ohio State University from Yale, and then rising up to

0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:35.880
<v Speaker 2>the Vice President of the United States as a family member.

0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:39.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm so proud of where he's come from. But at

0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:41.880
<v Speaker 2>the same time, I need people to understand that we're

0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:44.880
<v Speaker 2>running this race not as like a plant from the

0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:48.520
<v Speaker 2>federal government. We're running this race because we are trying

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:50.840
<v Speaker 2>to do our part to help our city. And that's

0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:52.080
<v Speaker 2>exactly why we're running.

0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:55.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, have you thought about bringing your brother into help

0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:55.880
<v Speaker 1>with the campaign.

0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:00.880
<v Speaker 2>My brother loves Cincinnati. You know, when we talk, I

0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:02.880
<v Speaker 2>will tell people this is that at the end of

0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.320
<v Speaker 2>the day, I need to have a brother, you know,

0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:09.400
<v Speaker 2>more than a political advisor. Because we talk about our kids,

0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:11.960
<v Speaker 2>we talk about you know, Star Wars, we talk about

0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:13.480
<v Speaker 2>all these other things. And he's got a lot of

0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.600
<v Speaker 2>bigger fish for fry whenever he's in the position that

0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.240
<v Speaker 2>he's in, and so when we have those moments together,

0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:21.840
<v Speaker 2>that's what we talk about. Now when it comes to help,

0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:25.280
<v Speaker 2>he's completely on board with what we're doing. He's endorsed us,

0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:27.360
<v Speaker 2>But I think that this has to be a race

0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:29.960
<v Speaker 2>that we're running and showing people that we're running this

0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:34.720
<v Speaker 2>for Cincinnati because the opposition that my opponent is trying

0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:37.000
<v Speaker 2>to use the city and trying to use all these

0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:39.839
<v Speaker 2>positions to try to get up to a higher level

0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:42.520
<v Speaker 2>in DC, whether it be a cabinet position or whatever.

0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:45.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm not trying to do that. I'm actually just trying

0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:48.200
<v Speaker 2>to use my relationship with the SS to try to

0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:50.320
<v Speaker 2>impact Cincinnati in a positive way.

0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:52.600
<v Speaker 1>When I talked to business owners, there is one on

0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.280
<v Speaker 1>the banks that was in the Inquirer day. It's like

0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:58.400
<v Speaker 1>a mini martive sorts. He said. Every day, there's six

0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:02.199
<v Speaker 1>to ten fe every day coming in. He said. He

0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:04.960
<v Speaker 1>started using cameras. It turns out to be twenty to

0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:08.520
<v Speaker 1>thirty thefts every day from his store, he said, calling

0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:10.920
<v Speaker 1>the police, Cincinni Police, this is at the banks. This

0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:14.400
<v Speaker 1>isn't maybe in price Ill somewhere. It's worthless because they

0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:18.760
<v Speaker 1>have so many thieves coming into a store that people

0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:20.600
<v Speaker 1>walk in, take his tough and leave. And of course

0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:22.600
<v Speaker 1>he's about to leave the banks because he can't live

0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:25.360
<v Speaker 1>like that. You have many other individuals who were in

0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:28.360
<v Speaker 1>Oakley and at Hyde Park that had massive car break ins.

0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:30.760
<v Speaker 1>They don't call the police. They hit the nine to

0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:33.360
<v Speaker 1>one one picked up, Okay, we'll send a car. A

0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:35.839
<v Speaker 1>car doesn't come, and then they call back and say

0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:37.880
<v Speaker 1>I like to make a police report, and then nine

0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:40.640
<v Speaker 1>to one operator will say, well, we'll note that. And

0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:44.240
<v Speaker 1>so there's a feeling in the citizens of Cincinnati that

0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:47.800
<v Speaker 1>when crime takes place, it will not be memorialized, it

0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:50.320
<v Speaker 1>will not be noted. If the police are demoralized, they

0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:53.240
<v Speaker 1>don't show up. If you've been hired the past five years,

0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:56.200
<v Speaker 1>you're told as a police officer in Cincinnati, don't pull

0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:59.400
<v Speaker 1>people over for speeding violations or minor traffic. You might

0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:01.800
<v Speaker 1>have to go hand on because there's no license. If

0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:03.640
<v Speaker 1>your car is broken into, a just deal with the

0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:08.560
<v Speaker 1>insurance company. If your store is robbed repeatedly, maybe the

0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:11.520
<v Speaker 1>store owner said in the banks fifty to sixty times

0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:14.640
<v Speaker 1>a week he has known thieves enter his store a week.

0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:16.760
<v Speaker 1>So over a month, we're talking about two to three

0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.600
<v Speaker 1>hundred thefts, none of which are recorded. So it's not

0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:23.120
<v Speaker 1>surprising that crime is down. Also, when cops tell me

0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:27.120
<v Speaker 1>there's been two people taking their curfew violation centers because

0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:29.440
<v Speaker 1>the kids are now telling the cops how old are you?

0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:31.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm eighteen? Okay, you got your ID with you? I

0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:34.680
<v Speaker 1>don't have any ID. Cops can't arrest anybody on a curfew,

0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.480
<v Speaker 1>and cops don't want to arrest anybody on a curfew.

0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:41.599
<v Speaker 1>So shots are fired, blood running in the streets. Shopkeepers

0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:46.079
<v Speaker 1>are being looted, Individuals are having violation of their personal

0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:49.400
<v Speaker 1>space in their cars. Bullets are flying into homes. None

0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:52.480
<v Speaker 1>of this is recorded as crime because they don't call

0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:56.960
<v Speaker 1>the police. And so how do you respond to the mayor?

0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Tomorrow night at Xavier there's a big, great debate there

0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:02.480
<v Speaker 1>and I'm sure the Democratic Party has already stocked the

0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:05.160
<v Speaker 1>audience in order to say patting themselves on the back.

0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.720
<v Speaker 1>I looked this morning in the inquiry lemon Kearney and

0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:10.120
<v Speaker 1>others are talking about crime is down, crime is down,

0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:12.760
<v Speaker 1>crime is down. It is a lie. How do you

0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:16.600
<v Speaker 1>tell the truth when the entire media in this town

0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:19.520
<v Speaker 1>and others are treating this issue of crime as if

0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:21.360
<v Speaker 1>it is something better than it's been in the past,

0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.360
<v Speaker 1>when we know it isn't. Ben Now you got me

0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:25.880
<v Speaker 1>a little bit fired up. I wish we had citizens

0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:28.520
<v Speaker 1>who would actually report crime and the city would note

0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:31.120
<v Speaker 1>what's being done. And like on Fountain Square, I saw

0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:34.240
<v Speaker 1>about twenty eight cones on Fountain Score at five point

0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:38.200
<v Speaker 1>thirty pm yesterday. I'm watching Shriek Palolo last night, and

0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:42.200
<v Speaker 1>once again on Fountain Square there's a sense that it's

0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:45.120
<v Speaker 1>the ok Corral. We have people being robbed, we have

0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:48.000
<v Speaker 1>women being sexually assauted, we have cars being broken into,

0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:51.640
<v Speaker 1>we have businesses being looted, and the city's mayor act

0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.040
<v Speaker 1>as if I see here and speak no evil? How

0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:56.960
<v Speaker 1>do you deal with all that? Tomorrow night? There's a

0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:58.320
<v Speaker 1>question in there somewhere.

0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:03.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm telling you, Bill, what's been happening on the streets.

0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:06.760
<v Speaker 2>Every single thing that you just mentioned that is what

0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:10.640
<v Speaker 2>the citizens of Cincinnati are experiencing. And what you said

0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:13.600
<v Speaker 2>is how are people reporting crime? How are people doing this?

0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:16.280
<v Speaker 2>If people are fed up, this is what they have

0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:18.400
<v Speaker 2>to do. They have to go to the Board of

0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:20.959
<v Speaker 2>Elections during early voting, and they have to make their

0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:24.240
<v Speaker 2>voice heard. We have a debate tomorrow night. It's not

0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:27.280
<v Speaker 2>so much just focusing on the bat of the past.

0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:29.880
<v Speaker 2>We've got to focus on the hope for a future.

0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:32.720
<v Speaker 2>And I think that's what many people in Cincinnati have lost.

0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:36.800
<v Speaker 2>When everybody saw Joe Burrow run his foot, run his toe,

0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:40.240
<v Speaker 2>that everybody lost hope. When everybody saw that final inning

0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:42.920
<v Speaker 2>of the second game against the Dodgers. There's a lot

0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:45.520
<v Speaker 2>of hope that gets lost. And when people are seeing

0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:47.880
<v Speaker 2>what's happening in our city, a lot of hope is

0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:51.040
<v Speaker 2>getting lost. But I'm here to tell people we have plans,

0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:54.360
<v Speaker 2>we have policies. We know this isn't rocket science. We

0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:57.080
<v Speaker 2>can bring this city back. We can be able to

0:13:57.120 --> 0:14:00.360
<v Speaker 2>help our communities, the ones in low poverty, that are

0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:03.240
<v Speaker 2>business owners, the people that have expressed their interests that

0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:05.760
<v Speaker 2>they're tired of where the city is going. We can

0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:08.440
<v Speaker 2>actually make a difference. And this starts with this election.

0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:11.800
<v Speaker 2>Get educated on what the city council members that are

0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:14.840
<v Speaker 2>running stand for, and then you have a choice between

0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:18.760
<v Speaker 2>Aft Purvall and Corey Bowman. And I'm asking every single

0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:22.000
<v Speaker 2>person Unlike the other side, I don't feel that I'm

0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:25.120
<v Speaker 2>entitled to a vote. I don't feel that I'm entitled

0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:27.680
<v Speaker 2>to somebody putting a sign in their yard or getting

0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:29.920
<v Speaker 2>the word out. But what I will do is work

0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:32.840
<v Speaker 2>my butt off to say I want to earn that vote.

0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:35.960
<v Speaker 2>We have policies, we have plans, and we have a

0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:38.400
<v Speaker 2>heart for this city and we're not going to look

0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:40.520
<v Speaker 2>at party lines. We're going to look at what's going

0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:44.000
<v Speaker 2>on Cincinnati. And if that's the case with what you feel,

0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:47.400
<v Speaker 2>then I would encourage every single person get out and vote. Vote,

0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:49.600
<v Speaker 2>vote for Corey Bowman for mayor Cincinnati.

0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:52.120
<v Speaker 1>What does your website? Many want to know if they

0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:54.240
<v Speaker 1>want to get involved in help. What is your website

0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:56.400
<v Speaker 1>of any.

0:14:55.800 --> 0:15:00.720
<v Speaker 2>The website is Coreybowman dot com and Cory bow We've

0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:04.080
<v Speaker 2>got all of our structure in place. Every financial contribution

0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:06.760
<v Speaker 2>from here on out is going toward ads, and it's

0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:09.200
<v Speaker 2>going toward getting the word out to as many people

0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:13.200
<v Speaker 2>as possible that there's an election happening November fourth, and

0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:16.880
<v Speaker 2>that we actually have a choice. Because you're mentioning seventy

0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:19.480
<v Speaker 2>seven percent of the vote went the other way for

0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:23.000
<v Speaker 2>the presidential election. This is because people don't see a

0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:25.920
<v Speaker 2>point in voting in the city of Cincinnati. But there's

0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:29.640
<v Speaker 2>a sleeping giant of conservative values. There's a sleeping giant

0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:32.440
<v Speaker 2>of people that are moderate, that see common sense on

0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:34.880
<v Speaker 2>both sides, and they want to get out and make

0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:37.680
<v Speaker 2>their voices heard. I'm telling people you've got a choice

0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:40.840
<v Speaker 2>on November fourth, get out and vote, vote, vote.

0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:43.840
<v Speaker 1>All right, Corey Bowman, thank you. Your opponent looks good,

0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:48.440
<v Speaker 1>smell is good, acts great, but he stinks as the mayor.

0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:51.840
<v Speaker 1>Let's continue, Corey Bowman, You're a great American. And thanks

0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:53.320
<v Speaker 1>for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.

0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:56.240
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Corey, Thank you, Bill, to you and all

0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:57.800
<v Speaker 2>your listeners. It's not or being on.

0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:01.720
<v Speaker 1>God bless America. Let's continue with more and there it is.

0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:04.320
<v Speaker 1>And do I have hope, Yes, I always have hope.

0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:06.840
<v Speaker 1>I always have hope. Look at the Yankees last night,

0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:10.000
<v Speaker 1>losing six to one, and everyone stood up for Aaron

0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:13.560
<v Speaker 1>Judge and guess what the Yankees won. And I know Paul

0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:15.600
<v Speaker 1>O'Neill is happy about that. That's a different story. But

0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:18.160
<v Speaker 1>the city must be saved and Corey Bowman is the

0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:21.040
<v Speaker 1>man that can save it. Bill Cunningham News Radio seven
