1
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: Potato six tier at fifty five KARASD Talk station. I'm

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: very happy Friday, everybody, Happy Halloween. Looking forward to the

3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: one single doorbell that he run at our home this

4
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: evening for huh Halloween, and I'm looking forward to the election.

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: It's Tuesday. You have an opportunity to change the direction

6
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: of the City of Cincinnati unless you're very happy with

7
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: the way things currently are. I personally, if I lived

8
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: in the city, would not be the city that I

9
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: love so much. I live outside of it, but I

10
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: see it and it impacts everything in the region, and

11
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: I don't understand the current administration, most notably given that

12
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: we now have the video of the late July beatdown,

13
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 1: bursting the bubble of the narrative that I have to

14
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: have provol and the city manager and the rest of

15
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: the council was trying to tell you about, which was

16
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: that this Russian guy is the one that was responsible

17
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: for the whole thing started. Now we've got moment to

18
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: moment video start to finish and as it turns out,

19
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: and thank you and prompts the signal ninety nine. Antricia

20
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,040

00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: video shared by Signal nine. You know, and Facebook page

24
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: shows minutes leading up to viral brawl. And what does

25
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: it show. It shows you that the mayor and the

26
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: city manager and a whole bunch of other people on

27
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: council were lying to you, trying to change the narrative

28
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: to get past the election until we then can find

29
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: out that no, in fact, these folks were innocent victims

30
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: of a brutal beatdown in studio. Vote Corey Bauman, Corey Bauman,

31
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: good to see you.

32
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 2: Hey, good to be here, Brian. Thank you to you

33
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 2: and your listeners for always having me.

34
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: Your reaction, I mean you saw it. I mean your reaction,

35
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: I'll just let it go with that.

36
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think you got to just have some

37
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 2: simple takeaways from this. You know, the video is shown

38
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 2: from start to finish, and we see the entirety of it,

39
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,559
Speaker 2: which is something that we've tried to get a hold

40
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 2: of ever since the start. All we want is transparency,

41
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: knowing the fullness of all the details. And so when

42
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: you're seeing it from start to finish, you see clearly

43
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 2: who started the fight. And then on top of that,

44
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: you see that based on the narrative that has come

45
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 2: from the mayor, the city manager, and city council members

46
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 2: that they were willing to let riots happen in our street.

47
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 2: They were willing to let this narrative play out for

48
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 2: an election, and just like they were releasing the police

49
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 2: chief in the state for an election in the same

50
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: way that they're doing so many things right now just

51
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: because it's an election year. These are the type of

52
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 2: leadership that we have at city Hall that are willing

53
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: to let our city suffer and willing to let other

54
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 2: people suffer. Now, I want to say this too. You're

55
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: seeing litigation happening between the chief and city hall right now. Yeah,

56
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: you saw a lawsuit that happened from Michael Washington, a

57
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: wrongly released fire chief that happened at the beginning of

58
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 2: the administration as well. Now, what do you think is

59
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: going to happen with people who are wrongly accused by

60
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: the city. What do you think is going to happen?

61
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 2: More lawsuits are coming to the city because of this

62
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 2: failed administration, and this is why people got to get

63
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 2: out and vote for new leadership.

64
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: I'm glad you mentioned that ladder component, because yeah, I

65
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: think you're right, and most notably the idea that the

66
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: police on the scene and the prosecutor's office did not

67
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: want to issue a citation to the Russian guys for

68
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: that little patent he gave the guy after he'd been

69
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: brutally beaten, as reflected by the video evidence. I mean,

70
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: he had been beaten and beaten and beaten a whole

71
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: bunch of times before that even happened. They didn't want

72
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 1: to issue a citation. The city pressured the current police chief,

73
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: the one that's in the in the current capacity while

74
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: the police Chief Thiji's on administrative leave, but that he

75
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: went ahead and issued to citation over the determination of

76
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: the officers in the prosecutor's apartment. He bent to their will.

77
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: Maybe that's how he landed the job. I don't know.

78
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: I don't know.

79
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: This is like for Captain Henny and for interim Chief

80
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 2: Henny right now, and even with police Chief Thiji. You

81
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 2: know a lot of people have called for resignations of

82
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 2: certain individuals throughout the year and we have stayed true

83
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: to This is trickled down incompetence from the top down.

84
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: This is from the mayor, the city manager's office and

85
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 2: even in City Council. And this is why new leadership

86
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: is needed, because when you look at the cops, with

87
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 2: the cops that we've spoken to on the street and

88
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: even in the higher ups, their hands had been tied.

89
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 2: And we talk about regimes, we talk about authoritative we thought,

90
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 2: we talk about dictatorships. That is what's happening from City

91
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 2: Hall right now is that everybody has to get their

92
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: story straight. Everybody has to say the same things. Comply

93
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 2: with the city manager's office. Don't talk to the media,

94
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 2: don't talk to political candidates, don't talk to this or that,

95
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 2: And that is what dictatorships do. And that's what we're

96
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 2: seeing from the regime of what's happening in City Hall

97
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 2: and Cincinnati.

98
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: Well, and don't listen to your own constituents. I mean,

99
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: we saw that on full display with how they treated

100
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: Hyde Park and Bond Hill with the development projects. They

101
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: didn't carell what about their own constituents in those neighborhoods

102
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: having a say in the direction of their communities. Now,

103
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: I found that to be hard. Look at the reaction

104
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: from Hyde Park, how they got a balance in isiative.

105
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: It's gonna be until they pulled the plug on the

106
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: whole idea. They've insulted every resident within those various neighborhoods.

107
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: And I would say literally every neighborhood in the city

108
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati. But this one size fits all, so called

109
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: Connected Communities development program, No, you do not have a say.

110
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all based. I've said that since the beginning

111
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 2: that the Connected Communities was a trojan horse for Hey,

112
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,559
Speaker 2: we as a city can just do whatever we want

113
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 2: and we don't have to listen to the communities. We're

114
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 2: just going to build housing however we see fit, and

115
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 2: the communities have to have a say in this no

116
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 2: matter what. The fifty two neighborhoods of Cincinnati are unique

117
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 2: in every way, and we have to have a city

118
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 2: hall that represents all fifty two neighborhoods, not just our

119
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: urban core.

120
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: And how important is the vote? I love this quote

121
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: and I mentioned it several times this morning, and maybe

122
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: and I mentioned earlier in the week, WCPO interviewed university

123
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: as every university political science professor about the election, who

124
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: was commenting on the low voter turnout that is anticipated.

125
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: I think Sherry Poland had a week or two ago

126
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: predicted I think to who was it to Jim Keefer,

127
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: Board of Election, Sherry Poland props to Sherry for all

128
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: the hard work you've done over the show.

129
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 2: She does a great jo.

130
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: She really does props all day long, and everybody who's

131
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: working the polls on Tuesday, God bless you for doing that.

132
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: It's wonderful community service. But she expects about twenty five

133
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: twenty six percent voter turnout. So the professor mac Marianni,

134
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: who was interviewed, quote, I think very very low turnout

135
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: creates volatility, and here's the sailing point. It makes it

136
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: easier for a relatively small group of angry people to

137
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: make a difference. I would suggest that there's more than

138
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: a relatively small group of angry people in the city

139
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati, given the current administration in the path it's

140
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: gone down. But nonetheless, we still expect a low voter turnout,

141
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: meaning literally every human being with's an earshot of me

142
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: who has contact with a Cincinnati resident, someone who's registered

143
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: to vote in the City of Cincinnati, or if you

144
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: are that person, vote no.

145
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 2: Absolutely, we have to get out and vote. We have

146
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 2: to make our voices heard. And it's not just about

147
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: a mayoral election. There are some strong city council candidates.

148
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: You know.

149
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 2: The last the last election, we had ten candidates for

150
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: nine positions. This year we have twenty seven positions. We

151
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 2: have twenty seven candidates open, and so I would do

152
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 2: your research. We have strong candidates, like talking about Lynda Matthews,

153
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: Liz Keating, Christopher Smithman, even have Steve Gooden and other

154
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 2: individuals that they're going to have Cincinnati at the forefront

155
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: of their administration or how they would run government.

156
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, Gary Favors was mentioned by as well, Seth Walsh

157
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: again as you Smithman, Matthews, Gooden, Favors Walsh, and then

158
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: of course the all important let us not overlook the

159
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: judicial races. I mean, of course I would strongly encourage

160
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: you to vote for Josh Berkerwitz. Betsy Sunman is just

161
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: a delight and an excellent, excellent judge, Gwen Bender and

162
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: Michael Peck all running for municipal court judges. Those are

163
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: some solid folks and of course strong on criminal justice

164
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: kind of folks.

165
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: I want to actually talk about this too, in those

166
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 2: judicial races, you know, so I've talked personally with Betsy Sunderman,

167
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 2: Judge Betsy and Judge Burkewitz. These are incredible individuals. These

168
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 2: are people that have high integrity. They don't look on

169
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 2: either side of the aisle when it comes to their judges.

170
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 2: They look at common sense, they look at the law,

171
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 2: and they hold criminals accountable. And even in the last

172
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 2: week because I'm monster all the social media and everything,

173
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 2: and these are two individuals that are incredible, and there

174
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 2: have been people on social media that have tried to

175
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 2: smear them and tried to do say things that I mean,

176
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 2: it's one thing for me, all right, it's one thing

177
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 2: for other individuals that are a little bit easier to

178
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 2: go against. But these are people that have had amazing

179
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 2: careers and there are people that tried to smear them

180
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 2: on the most stupid stuff I've ever seen, made up

181
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 2: stuff that I've ever seen.

182
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 1: Well, when you don't have actual evidence to go on

183
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 1: to somebody, you make crap.

184
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,719
Speaker 2: Up, exactly. So I want to encourage everybody, if you're

185
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 2: in like the Hyde Park area, if you're in Anderson

186
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 2: area where you're Judge Burkwitz, or if you're in the

187
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 2: Blue Ash area with Betsy Sunderman, get out and vote.

188
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 2: Make sure that these judges are in as well. And

189
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 2: then if you're in the Cincinnati districts, you gotta get

190
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 2: out and vote for city council. You got to get

191
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 2: out and vote for mayor, and you got to get

192
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 2: out in record numbers.

193
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: A fifteen fifty five KRCITY Talk Station, Cory Bowman in studio.

194
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: The full hour will be right back to these brief words.

195
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: It's talk station A nineteen. Ifif you about KRCD talk station,

196
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: Happy Friday. Hey, guess what early voting is going on?

197
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: You can even vote on Sunday. They have one kind

198
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: of board of elections. I encourage my listeners to do so,

199
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: and most notably in the city of Cincinnata. You have

200
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: a choice. Go back to the definition of stupidity, repeatedly

201
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a

202
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: different result. Thing's better for you right now? Do you

203
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,719
Speaker 1: feel better about the city of Sincent and the current administration?

204
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: I don't, And I know Corey Bowman has the best

205
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: interest of the entire city that he loves at hard,

206
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: not just one neighborhood, everybody. Everyone should have a benefit

207
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 1: from the administration, and clearly this one has demonstrated its

208
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 1: unwillingness to listen to its own voters. Just an absolute

209
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: smacking of ace insult. I understand Corey Bowman in studio

210
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: here Corey Bowman dot com. Feeling some love in Hyde Park,

211
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 1: feeling some love in Oakley. You mentioned some of the

212
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: other neighborhoods, Mount Washington getting a lot of support from

213
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: the residents of Mount Washington, and you can be doing

214
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: a big blitz over on the west side from my

215
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: west Side friends.

216
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, I mean, over the course of the year,

217
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 2: you know, we just basically go with not only our

218
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 2: gut feelings, but kind of research what's the biggest areas

219
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 2: to hit. And we had our final door knocking in

220
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 2: Hyde Park last weekend and it was I mean, from

221
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 2: our first door knocking in High Park to this one

222
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 2: was completely different. I mean, we saw our signs everywhere,

223
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 2: and then as we were knocking on doors, we had

224
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 2: so many people just say that they're vote for us.

225
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 2: And then the thing that got me was that in

226
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 2: the middle of it, I'm sitting there walking and you

227
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 2: hear this, and this guy that's in a convertible, I

228
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 2: think it was probably his last day he could be

229
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 2: in a convertible for the year, and he's got his

230
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 2: top down and he stops in the middle of the

231
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 2: road and says Cory Bowman, and he just says, I'm

232
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 2: getting an army in Hyde Park to come out and

233
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 2: vote for you.

234
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: We need this right now.

235
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 2: And it was just like that was just a completely

236
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 2: different aspect of what we experienced early on, and.

237
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: Well, people got to learn about you over the year. Naturally,

238
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: in a blue city like Cincinnati, you would expect some

239
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: resistance like yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever, Republican, you got no chance.

240
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: But I mean you do. I mean, there is no

241
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: reason that you know, even the most about Democrat needs

242
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 1: to be happy or claim to be happy over the administration.

243
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: I mean you listen, I've been critical of Republicans over

244
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: my lifetime. I don't always get what I want, but

245
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a demonstrably terrible administration. Well.

246
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 2: No, So I was doing an interview last night with

247
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 2: Fox nineteen and they asked me, you know, what are

248
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 2: your thoughts about being a Republican in a blue city?

249
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 2: And I just tell people that when I go out

250
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 2: on the streets and I talk about these city issues,

251
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 2: these aren't red or blueish. Oh They're not clean streets,

252
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 2: safe streets, prosperous streets. These are not partisan issues, and

253
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 2: as we've run this race at the beginning, because all

254
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 2: the headlines only said one thing, brother and Republican, which

255
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 2: I'm not ashamed of that, but we have to emphasize

256
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 2: that this race is for city issues. I've told people

257
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 2: that we are not copying seeing national politics in the

258
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 2: city hall. We're not using this as a stepping So

259
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 2: this is something that we have to do for our city. Now,

260
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 2: I will say this because we talk about all fifty

261
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 2: two neighborhoods. I'm in the urban core, I'm in the

262
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 2: downtown area, I'm in the West and with our business,

263
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 2: with our coffee shop, and with our church, we see

264
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 2: the failed policies of what's happened in the downtown area,

265
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 2: and that is what's creeping out to every neighborhood in Cincinnati.

266
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 2: And so you're seeing in Hyde Park, you're seeing in

267
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 2: Bond Hill, you're seeing it on the West Side, You're

268
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 2: seeing it everywhere. And that's why we're running this race

269
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 2: as well, because not just about all we got to

270
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 2: offend for the guys on the outside of the city. No,

271
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 2: it's because we've seen these failed policies from the inside out.

272
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 2: So it's all fifty two neighborhoods.

273
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 1: And on the record, I just want to make sure

274
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: I'm solid with you on this. Corey Bowman, I know

275
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: I have to have pearl wall up until about five

276
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: seconds ago when he now says safety and safe communities

277
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: are his number one priority. Previously, he previously stated something

278
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: the effect of he views everything that lands on his

279
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 1: desk first and foremost from a green perspective, in other words,

280
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: carbon free, neutral city. You know that kind of crap.

281
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I read the OpEd piece.

282
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 2: Now I would say that I would say it's true

283
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 2: that he sees it from a green perspective, but green

284
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 2: as far as money goes, because all it has to

285
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 2: do with is kickbacks. All has to do with making

286
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 2: sure that the friends and partners of aftab pur all

287
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 2: are richer and richer, and that is what has crippled

288
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 2: our city. I'm tired of it. I'm tired of the contractors,

289
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 2: the nonprofits, the NGOs, and the people that are connected

290
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 2: with city Hall being the only people that are benefiting

291
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 2: from the government of Cincinnati. All fifty two neighborhoods need

292
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 2: to be represented, not just the connected developers and the

293
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 2: connected friends of those that are in office.

294
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: Amen.

295
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 2: So The thing is is that whenever we see this,

296
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 2: people are seeing this in the election year that oh,

297
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 2: now we're going to have Now listen, if I hear

298
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 2: double down one more time from this administration, we're going

299
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 2: to double down, double down. You need they're doubling down

300
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 2: on incompetence right now. Because the thing is is that

301
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 2: they say right now they're focusing on crime. They say

302
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 2: they're focusing on I mean, you saw the press conference. Oh,

303
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 2: we're gonna have the snowpower moveal fixed because because we

304
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 2: have an app. Now, oh, obviously those that drive trucks,

305
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 2: they're going to actually operate on an app right now.

306
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 2: And that's what's gonna fix everything right now is an app. No,

307
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 2: it's common sense. These are things that we've been doing,

308
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 2: snowpower moval since snow was invented. Okay, we've been doing

309
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm telling you crime intervention has been around

310
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 2: since canaan Abel. Okay. So it's not rocket science when

311
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 2: it comes to fixing these problems. But you have to

312
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 2: have a clear head and unbiased head and an unbiased

313
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 2: opinion when it comes to we're not going to put

314
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 2: politics in public safety. We're not going to bring politics

315
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 2: into just fixing our streets. And that is what city

316
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 2: Hall has lost sight of over the years, is that

317
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 2: we have to push all these agendas. We have to

318
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 2: push all these so we have to push all these

319
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 2: community initials instead of just being who we are, which

320
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 2: is glorified custodians. That's what city Hall is, is your

321
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 2: glorified custodians. You have the keys to the city. You

322
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 2: keep the streets clean, you keep the streets safe, you

323
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 2: make sure the money is spent properly, and you make

324
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 2: sure to listen to the voices of the community.

325
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: Again, Amen, Corey Bowman, you're on fire this morning. It's

326
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: making great sense and of course providing listeners with a

327
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: wonderful opportunity to realize, yes, there is a better path

328
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: than what we've currently got. Corey Bowman. And don't forget

329
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: about the council members are gonna talk about that a

330
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: little bit because along with the role of mayor goes

331
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: the responsibility of choosing a vice mayor and an administration

332
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: and of course the city manager will have more with

333
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: Corey Bowman Corey Bowman dot com. Just don't go away

334
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: be the talk station AY twenty nine On a Friday,

335
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: the Friday, preceding election day next Tuesday. In case you

336
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: hadn't got the memo Corey Bowman in studio. Of course

337
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: he preferred mayoral candidate. And your vote really does matter

338
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: and you can change the direction of the city. Corey

339
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: was telling me off on the break. There you get

340
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: these big blocks of Democrats that show up at the primaries.

341
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 2: Right yep, yeah, well in early voting, in early voting. Yeah,

342
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 2: So this is what we're seeing from the numbers. Because

343
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 2: I know Cincinnati and when it comes to the sports teams,

344
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 2: when it comes to everything involved in Cincinnati, we hate

345
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 2: getting our hopes up. But hey, we get our hopes

346
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 2: up and then we get let down because somebody gets

347
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 2: turf toe or something like that. So the thing is

348
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 2: is that I get it. A lot of people are

349
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 2: trying to figure out is this really possible. We're looking

350
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 2: at the numbers of early voting, and we're seeing Republicans

351
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 2: trending up in every area, and we're seeing Democrats trending

352
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 2: down in every area. And then this is what we're

353
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 2: seeing as well, is there is a ton of unaffiliated

354
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 2: and independence that are showing up. And so those are

355
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 2: the only statistics that we're able to look at right

356
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 2: now because a lot of people won't pay for polls

357
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 2: for such a small elect yes, right, yeah. And also

358
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 2: a lot of Democrats won't pay for polls because then

359
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 2: it'll let more Conservatives know about the election, right, They

360
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 2: just want to keep it close to the chest when

361
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 2: it comes to that. But I will say this that

362
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 2: what we see trending is going in our direction. But

363
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 2: then also the Republicans standpoint, always shows up the day

364
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 2: of more than they do an early voting.

365
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Republicans for some reason, that's that's the day they vote.

366
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I would encourage people, Hey, if that's your plan,

367
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 2: that's fine, but you do have tonight, you know which

368
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 2: the Board of Elections is actually open during evening hours

369
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 2: as well, and so you do have the rest of

370
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 2: this weekend to be able to get out to the

371
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 2: Hamilton County Board of Elections and cast your vote early.

372
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 2: The reason why we say this is because you never

373
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 2: know what's going to happen on November fourth. You know,

374
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 2: there might be a car wreck, there might be traffic,

375
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,479
Speaker 2: there might be an unexpected thing happen with your family

376
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 2: or whatever. The power out it perfect place, So I

377
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 2: stuff like that happens. We tell people just to make

378
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 2: sure that your vote counts. Get in early. If you

379
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 2: can't Friday, Saturday Sunday. You know, it's not open on Monday,

380
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 2: but Friday, Saturday Sunday over this weekend you can go

381
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 2: out to the Board of Elections and you can make

382
00:17:58,400 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 2: your voice heard there.

383
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: And it's so I am so pleased they move the

384
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: Board of Elections to that location off the Norwood Lateral.

385
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: It's easy to get in, get out parking, and I

386
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: don't care what the line looks like when you pull up,

387
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: and hopefully it's a long one because a lot of

388
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: people want to participate. They are awesome at turning it around.

389
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: I mean getting in, getting your process, getting your vote,

390
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: and getting out. It's easy. It doesn't take but a

391
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: couple of minutes. So that line is not long, even

392
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: if it appears to be long.

393
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 2: Now, what's really cool about this too. I'll say this

394
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 2: for the parents because I have four kids. And what's

395
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 2: really cool about is they have their own like kids

396
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 2: area that you can actually cast your vote for like

397
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 2: pizza or cheeseburgers or whatever, and they give you like

398
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 2: a voting sticker and everything. So if you have young kids,

399
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 2: and you're trying to figure out how is this going

400
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 2: to work with me taking my kids. They are extremely

401
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 2: accommodating for that, Like my kids actually like voting more

402
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 2: than me. When it comes to they go in, they're like, oh, yeah,

403
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 2: we're gonna vote. And then what was crazy was I

404
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 2: think for one of the issues, it was like tacos

405
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 2: versus fries, and my son wrote in Corey Bowman, you know,

406
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 2: so there's a write in candidate for that. So I

407
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 2: was able to beat out the fry. So I was

408
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 2: really excited about that. And introduction to civics sho it's great,

409
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,719
Speaker 2: it really is cool. But yeah, so on November fourth,

410
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 2: obviously you look up where you're supposed to be voting

411
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,479
Speaker 2: on the website, so you can go, I believe it's

412
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 2: vote Hamilton County dot org and you can go and

413
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 2: get your precinct. You can know what your registration status is,

414
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 2: all that stuff.

415
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 1: Going on there, sample ballots so you can see what

416
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna vote on and know which judges you need

417
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:33,479
Speaker 1: to vote for.

418
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 2: That is important too, because you know if you want

419
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 2: a pink slip for conservative judges and to know who

420
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 2: to vote there because a lot of people go in

421
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 2: and they'll vote for like the mayor, they'll vote for

422
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 2: a couple of things they know for sure, and then

423
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 2: they kind of get burned out by like looking at

424
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 2: the twenty seven council candidates. But here's the thing though, too,

425
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 2: is that the way our city government operates, you know,

426
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 2: you have things like the vice mayor, you have things

427
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 2: that have to be worked out with with the new council,

428
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 2: and so you're only going to be as effective as

429
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 2: a mayor with the council that you're working with as well.

430
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 1: Right now, if we get a miracle goal on here,

431
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 1: and I want to say a miracle as if it's

432
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: not achievable, it definitely is achievable, you get elected mayor.

433
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: But if people elect a whole slate of Democratic council

434
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: members to go along with you, it's going to be

435
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 1: a little difficult to navigate. But you're gonna have to

436
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: select from among all the Democrats who's going to be

437
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: the vice mayor. So maybe a challenge there.

438
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 2: No, I mean, for one, if we get in, you

439
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 2: know which, when we get in, I will argue, I'll

440
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 2: be very encouraged by that because I know for a

441
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,959
Speaker 2: fact that that means we'll have some strong city council

442
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 2: members on board as well. That's exactly how a turn

443
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 2: as well.

444
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: Smithman Matthews Good and favors Keating Walsh outstanding choices all

445
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 1: and do not vote for all nine. Don't water down

446
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 1: your council votes. Choose the mayor that you want, Choose

447
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: the council people the top choices for you for city council.

448
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: Otherwise the vote does get water.

449
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to be smart with the vote because

450
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 2: what a lot of people don't understand is that with

451
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 2: the nine positions, you're not voting nine positions. It's the

452
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 2: nine top vote getters, right, And so if you're voting

453
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 2: for three, four or five anything past that, if you're

454
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 2: voting for a slate of nine, you're saying, hey, I've

455
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 2: got to fill in nine because there's nine candidates. Well,

456
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 2: then what happens is that the votes actually end up

457
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,479
Speaker 2: competing against each other to do that. And so what

458
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 2: we have to tell people is that if you want

459
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 2: the conservative vote and if you want all those strong

460
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 2: council members on that, only vote for three, four or

461
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:29,360
Speaker 2: five max.

462
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 1: A thirty five. Right now, more with Corey Bowman as

463
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 1: we close out the show. He's going to be here

464
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: the whole hour. We're going to hear a few more

465
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: things and got some more announcements to make. I hope

466
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: you can stick around and be right back fifty five

467
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: KRC PE Sportspands or Seedy Talk Station eight thirty nine

468
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: Here at fifty five KRC, if you talk station and

469
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 1: Bying Thomas with Corey Bowman. The last opportunity to speak

470
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: with Corey before the vote on Tuesday, or the vote

471
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: today or tomorrow or Sundays. He pointed out early voting

472
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: was going on. Please get in there and vote. Your

473
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: vote obviously is going to be a world of difference

474
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,479
Speaker 1: for the city. We choose a different path. And I

475
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: just want to ask you directly, and I didn't ask

476
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: you this in advance. I don't know the answer to

477
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 1: the question, but I think I can anticipate it. You've

478
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: come on this program since you launched your campaign for mayor.

479
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: This is like the fifth time I think you've been

480
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 1: on the morning show, maybe fourth willing to talk to

481
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: me now, Joe and I Joe Strecker, who lines up guests,

482
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,400
Speaker 1: don't ever get any love from council. Current Council, Current

483
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: Mayor's office. None of them ever come on the Morning show.

484
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: If you're elected mayor, will you continue to speak directly

485
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: to the public and answer pointed questions from me and

486
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: listen to my and my listening audience after being elected.

487
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 2: Absolutely. This is something that what I've tried to push,

488
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 2: and this is a saying that I say, is that

489
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 2: a vote for an elected official is not a blank

490
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 2: check to do whatever you want. A vote is a

491
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 2: trust that you're always going to be at the table.

492
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 2: And this is one of the tables that I sit

493
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 2: at to be able to hear from, you know, the

494
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 2: opinions of others. You know, usually every time that I

495
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 2: do this show, I'm getting messages of people saying their

496
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 2: opinion or saying, you know, what they thought about some

497
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 2: thing I said. And so we have to be able

498
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 2: to sit at any table and to be able to

499
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 2: actually take public comment, to be able to actually explain

500
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 2: things properly with transparency. And you know, I know that

501
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 2: we talked about at the beginning of the show, that's

502
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 2: exactly what we didn't see when it came to that

503
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 2: crime that was happening in July. And we're not here

504
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 2: to cover up things. We are here to make sure

505
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 2: things are transparent. We are making sure that the issues

506
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 2: are there out in the open for the public to

507
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 2: decide for themselves. And that is not what's happening from

508
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 2: the current administration. That was, and that is going to

509
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 2: be the opposite. You know, somebody asked me, I'm a

510
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 2: big fan of a show called The Office. All right, yeah,

511
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 2: and a lot of people. Obviously, we have a plan

512
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 2: for administration. We have a plan for policies when it

513
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 2: comes to crime, infrastructure, when it comes to spending the

514
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 2: budget properly. But somebody said told me, you know, ask

515
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 2: me what's your plan for being mayor? And I said, well,

516
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 2: you know, I think about an idiot, and I think

517
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 2: about what an idiot would do, and I don't do

518
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 2: that thing. And you know, for me, I think about

519
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 2: Mayor aftab Provoll, I think about what he would do,

520
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 2: and then I don't do that thing. And that is

521
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 2: going to be my policy from mayor of Cincinnati.

522
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: You know, it's easy to read into that. You just

523
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 1: call it aftab Provoll and idiot. I need just saying,

524
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: you know, sm me interpreted that way. You might be

525
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: quoted by Fox nineteen JD Vancer's half brother calls aftab

526
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: purvall and idiot. Does it drive you crazy? I've been

527
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: just stewing over that, like you are the embodiment of JD. Vans,

528
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 1: like you're running national, world, global policies. We make a stage.

529
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 2: We make fun in my family because whenever I introduced

530
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 2: my mom to somebody, I say, hey, this is Jade

531
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 2: Vance's stepmom right here, and then I go up to

532
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 2: my sister. This is JD Vance's sister right here, This

533
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 2: is Jade Vance's Now Here's the thing I love. I mean,

534
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 2: Vice President JD. Vance being my brother. I mean, dear God,

535
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 2: what an amazing thing to be able.

536
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: To say, to be cool.

537
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, what an amazing thing to be able to say.

538
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 2: To be able to see my brother go from where

539
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 2: he's come from in the bag in his background, To

540
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 2: be able in such a short amount of time to

541
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 2: be at the vice presidency of the United States carrying himself,

542
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 2: being able to make these decisions, being able to try

543
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 2: to work with people across the island one of the

544
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 2: most polarizing times of her political culture. To be able

545
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 2: to step up and be able to serve our country

546
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 2: the way he is. So I'm very proud of the

547
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 2: fact that he is my brother. But when it comes

548
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 2: to this city government, when it comes to this, that

549
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 2: is what people are tired of. They are tired of copying,

550
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 2: pasting national politics. We see current city council members and

551
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 2: a current mayor that show up to national protests when

552
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 2: it comes to you know, all these national issues, but

553
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 2: they forget the people that they represent. They forget the

554
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 2: potholes in the roads, they forget the snowplow removal, they

555
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 2: forget the crime on our streets.

556
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so true. I just kept thinking about that.

557
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: You know, the roads alone, what a disaster. And then

558
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: you say, okay, road's fine, we're behind, Like how many

559
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: years of lane miles are we behind it? It's insane.

560
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 2: Well, the thing is too, at the current pace that

561
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 2: the city is going, it would take forty years to

562
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 2: pave all of our center lane miles of road.

563
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: Forty years. The current pace is the problem.

564
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 2: Exactly exactly. And that's including with all of this new

565
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 2: influx of money coming in from the railroad, which a

566
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 2: lot of times we can see this as a shell

567
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 2: game or a substitution for what really should be coming

568
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 2: out of the budget. And those are things that we've

569
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 2: addressed throughout this year. The money is not being spent properly,

570
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 2: the infrastructure is not being a priority, and the crime.

571
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, the police is not a priority, has never been

572
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: for this administration. Well here the numbers haven't improved since

573
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: he took office.

574
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 2: Well, a lot of times their answer for things is

575
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 2: to throw money at it, right. That's something I've seen

576
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 2: on social media a lot is whenever we say that

577
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 2: City Hall doesn't back up the police, immediately they show, oh, hey, no,

578
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 2: we've We've funded the police. There is a very big

579
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 2: difference between on paper showing that you're throwing money at

580
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:08,479
Speaker 2: something versus actually solving the issues. And that is what

581
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 2: we're saying. They through their stats and through their budget,

582
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 2: that's their weapon, I guess, is that they show that

583
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 2: they're dumping money into a situation. But just dumping money

584
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 2: into something does not fix it. You've got to be

585
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 2: able to make sure that you have the right contracts

586
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 2: when it comes to infrastructure. You got to make sure

587
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 2: you have the right administrative policies when it comes to

588
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 2: the policing, and a lot of times that just means

589
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 2: hands off approach. That means allowing the police to do

590
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 2: their job to enforce not only high level, but low

591
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 2: level crimes. I will say this, when it comes to

592
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 2: the police, the number one thing we will focus on

593
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 2: is hiring and getting our compliment levels up, because when

594
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 2: the state government comes in and the OSP comes in

595
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 2: and brings those compliment levels up, guess what happens. Crime

596
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 2: goes down on our streets. And so we've got to

597
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 2: be able to say that, hey, anything that is twenty

598
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 2: percent understaffed is not going to operate at its full potential.

599
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 2: And lateral hiring initiatives that have happened throughout this year

600
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 2: have not seen the response that they want because nobody

601
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,679
Speaker 2: wants to work for this leadership. If you get strong

602
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 2: leadership in and you have a lateral hiring class that

603
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 2: know that they're going to have city Hall to back

604
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 2: them up, you're going to get those complement levels up

605
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 2: and our crime is going to go down.

606
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: Amen. One more with Coreybowman. Find them on line at

619
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: real working out real well for most people in the

620
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: City of Cincinnati. Unless you're one of those non governmental

621
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: organizations organizations, or unless the community revolts against you a

622
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: well connected developer, you're not getting any love. At least

623
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: you don't feel like you're getting any love from have

624
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: to have pervoll And City Manager long and the balance

625
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: of council members. So is with great encouragement, I say,

626
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: please get out and vote Corey Bowman. I'm listener lunches

627
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: next Wednesday. I am not putting you on the spot

628
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: and asking you to commit or not commit to go,

629
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: but you are invited. Of course, everybody's going to be invited.

630
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: A High Grain brewery next Wednesday the Brentwood location, and

631
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: I hope we are in a celebratory mood. And even

632
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: if we are, it's high grain brewery, you'll be able

633
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: to have a beer and drown your sorrows or something

634
00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: like that. But I'm going to try to be very cautiously,

635
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: if not very optimistic for your Corey. I know the

636
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,479
Speaker 1: numbers are rolling in and they're looking, they're looking. They

637
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: provide a great measure of optimism, which is something I

638
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: never thought I could even say.

639
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I think that one of the biggest things is,

640
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 2: you know, I hate to say this because it's what

641
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 2: we've heard all throughout the year, but a person's perception

642
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 2: is their reality. Right now, when it comes to crime,

643
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 2: a reality is a reality. I kind of believe that.

644
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 2: But when it comes to these elections, a lot of

645
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 2: times people's perception of all it's just too far gone

646
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 2: or whatever, and then a lot of times you just

647
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 2: don't want to get your hope for it. I want

648
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 2: to remind people that over six about sixteen years ago,

649
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 2: Brad Wentztrupp ran from mayor and it was split almost

650
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 2: down the middle.

651
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, he got forty seven percent of the vote. If

652
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: I recall correct forty off.

653
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, So the thing is with this is that how

654
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 2: can you say that there's an overwhelming, you know, response

655
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 2: on one side if you haven't even really seen in

656
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 2: these elections somebody can test.

657
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: It or or in the case to the Republican Party

658
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: not even bothering to run anybody in a lot of

659
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: these races. Well, I think it was like they pulled

660
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: the flag out left well one of the biggest things.

661
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 2: And so I was actually just looking through my text

662
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 2: through Joe here. But February fifth was our first interview.

663
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 2: February fifth was our first interview. And so I'm driving

664
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 2: on the road today and you can feel that cold weather,

665
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 2: you can feel like the winter coming in, and I

666
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 2: just think back of February fifth, how we were driving

667
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 2: in the middle of snow to get to this studio,

668
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 2: to be able to have our first interviews together. And

669
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 2: so what an amazing year, you know, to be able

670
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 2: to show people what we're standing for, but also what

671
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 2: a year that has shown that we need new leadership.

672
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 2: And I think that if anything, when it comes to

673
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 2: this election, people have to vote outside their comfort zones,

674
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 2: and they have to not only vote outside their comfort zones,

675
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 2: is if you're a regular voter, but if you don't

676
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 2: vote at all, get out, get out, take a chance

677
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 2: on this and to show people that our city's not

678
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 2: too far gone. Because I want to emphasize this. You're

679
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 2: seeing a lot of things in downtown cities all across

680
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 2: America right now. I believe Cincinnati is one of these

681
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 2: unique cities to where we are not too far gone.

682
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 2: When you talk to people on the street, they are optimistic,

683
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 2: they are common sense. Whether they are a Republican or Democrat,

684
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 2: they have a sense about them to where they know

685
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 2: not to get involved in all the crazy craziness of

686
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 2: life and craziness of the world, but to be realistic

687
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 2: that we just have to have common sense and meet

688
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 2: each other where we are. And so I think when

689
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 2: it comes to this election, if anybody is listening that

690
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 2: was maybe on the fence, I just want to tell

691
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 2: people we are running this on city issues for Cincinnati,

692
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 2: and that's it. And when we get in office, we're

693
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 2: from day one, we're going to make sure that we're

694
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 2: ready for the winter months, for the snow, We're ready

695
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 2: for the spring potholes, We're ready for the summer and

696
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 2: fall crime, and we're ready to bring Cincinnati to the

697
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 2: fullest potential that it can be.

698
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: Sounds great, Corey Bowman. If you're outside of the city limits,

699
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 1: you all know somebody who lives in the city, a

700
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: business in the city. You know this is important. And

701
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: I mean I saw the hands raise at that fundraiser

702
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: that I was at at Wyoming where I introduced you.

703
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: Wyoming is not part of the city, but they are

704
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: right there against the city. You got a huge turnout

705
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: of people very interested in helping you out and helping

706
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: your election out because of the massive spillover effect that

707
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: whatever happens in the city of Cincinnati impacts everybody in

708
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: the region. Absolutely, That's why I'm so passionate about this.

709
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I love Cincinnati. I do. One of the

710
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: reasons I moved back here from Chicago for God's sake.

711
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 2: Well, this has been the problem throughout the year, is

712
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 2: that a lot of people confuse being frustrated with how

713
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 2: the city is being run with not having a love

714
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 2: for the city. Yeah, And the thing is is that

715
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:46,239
Speaker 2: I love Cincinnati. That's why I'm running this race. I'm

716
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 2: not running this race to trash talk our city. I'm

717
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 2: running this race because I care about all these issues

718
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 2: I care about, all these neighborhoods, and a lot of

719
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 2: people ask me, well, how are you looking in polls

720
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 2: or how's the campaign running? And this is what I

721
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 2: tell them. You've probably heard me multiple times. I say

722
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 2: it's going in our direction. I hate the reasons why

723
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 2: it's going in our direction. Because every time that you

724
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 2: see more shootings, every time that you see mismanagement of funds,

725
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 2: every time that you see the potholes getting worse and worse,

726
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 2: every time that you see something being a failure from

727
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 2: city hall, that means that we are running this race

728
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 2: for the right reasons and that people have to wake

729
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 2: up to know that new leadership is needed.

730
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 1: Corey Bowman, I have enjoyed our conversations. You have blossomed

731
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 1: over the course of your candidacy. Your policies are sharper,

732
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,280
Speaker 1: You're more focused, and that you know those final words

733
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: there obviously some up and say a whole lot about

734
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 1: who you are. You do care, you do want to

735
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: change things. You are aware of the problems, You understand priorities.

736
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: You know what makes a neighborhood better, a safer, cleaner community.

737
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 1: I wish you all the best, and I hope we

738
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: are in a tremendously celebratory mood next week at High

739
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: Grading Brewery on Wednesday for the listener logic at Brentwood location.

740
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: Corey Bowman dot com is where you'll find Corey online.

741
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 1: And it's not too late to help your friends. And again,

742
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,399
Speaker 1: like to the people at Wyoming, all the hands were raised. Yes,

743
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: I've got a brother or sister that lives in the city.

744
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: The point was reach out to them, get them off

745
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 1: the couch, encourage them to go ahead, just cast that vote,

746
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: get it out of the way, don't wait till Tuesday,

747
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: going into the Board of Elections over the weekend. Take

748
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: care of it. You'd be glad you did, and you

749
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: may end up with a better city as a consequence

750
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: for it. Corey, I wish you all the best. God

751
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 1: bless you, sir.

752
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 2: Thank you Brian so much. And this is in the

Speaker 1: Oh I'll insist and trust me. Yeah you asked Smithman,
