  Speaker 1: Potato six tier at fifty five KARASD Talk station. I'm
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: very happy Friday, everybody, Happy Halloween. Looking forward to the
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: one single doorbell that he run at our home this
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: evening for huh Halloween, and I'm looking forward to the election.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: It's Tuesday. You have an opportunity to change the direction
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: of the City of Cincinnati unless you're very happy with
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the way things currently are. I personally, if I lived
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: in the city, would not be the city that I
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: love so much. I live outside of it, but I
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: see it and it impacts everything in the region, and
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: I don't understand the current administration, most notably given that
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: we now have the video of the late July beatdown,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: bursting the bubble of the narrative that I have to
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: have provol and the city manager and the rest of
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: the council was trying to tell you about, which was
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: that this Russian guy is the one that was responsible
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: for the whole thing started. Now we've got moment to
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: moment video start to finish and as it turns out,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: and thank you and prompts the signal ninety nine. Antricia
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Mackeovi at Fox nineteen for showing everyone go to Fox
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: nineteen dot com. Check it out right there on the
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: front page. What does it say? Huh, never before seen
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: video shared by Signal nine. You know, and Facebook page
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: shows minutes leading up to viral brawl. And what does
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: it show. It shows you that the mayor and the
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: city manager and a whole bunch of other people on
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: council were lying to you, trying to change the narrative
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: to get past the election until we then can find
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: out that no, in fact, these folks were innocent victims
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: of a brutal beatdown in studio. Vote Corey Bauman, Corey Bauman,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: good to see you.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Hey, good to be here, Brian. Thank you to you
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: and your listeners for always having me.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Your reaction, I mean you saw it. I mean your reaction,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I'll just let it go with that.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think you got to just have some
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: simple takeaways from this. You know, the video is shown
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: from start to finish, and we see the entirety of it,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: which is something that we've tried to get a hold
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: of ever since the start. All we want is transparency,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: knowing the fullness of all the details. And so when
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: you're seeing it from start to finish, you see clearly
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: who started the fight. And then on top of that,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: you see that based on the narrative that has come
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: from the mayor, the city manager, and city council members
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: that they were willing to let riots happen in our street.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: They were willing to let this narrative play out for
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: an election, and just like they were releasing the police
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: chief in the state for an election in the same
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: way that they're doing so many things right now just
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: because it's an election year. These are the type of
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: leadership that we have at city Hall that are willing
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: to let our city suffer and willing to let other
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: people suffer. Now, I want to say this too. You're
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: seeing litigation happening between the chief and city hall right now. Yeah,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: you saw a lawsuit that happened from Michael Washington, a
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: wrongly released fire chief that happened at the beginning of
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: the administration as well. Now, what do you think is
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: going to happen with people who are wrongly accused by
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: the city. What do you think is going to happen?
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: More lawsuits are coming to the city because of this
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: failed administration, and this is why people got to get
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: out and vote for new leadership.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you mentioned that ladder component, because yeah, I
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: think you're right, and most notably the idea that the
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: police on the scene and the prosecutor's office did not
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: want to issue a citation to the Russian guys for
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: that little patent he gave the guy after he'd been
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: brutally beaten, as reflected by the video evidence. I mean,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: he had been beaten and beaten and beaten a whole
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: bunch of times before that even happened. They didn't want
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: to issue a citation. The city pressured the current police chief,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the one that's in the in the current capacity while
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the police Chief Thiji's on administrative leave, but that he
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: went ahead and issued to citation over the determination of
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: the officers in the prosecutor's apartment. He bent to their will.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's how he landed the job. I don't know.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: This is like for Captain Henny and for interim Chief
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Henny right now, and even with police Chief Thiji. You
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: know a lot of people have called for resignations of
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: certain individuals throughout the year and we have stayed true
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: to This is trickled down incompetence from the top down.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: This is from the mayor, the city manager's office and
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: even in City Council. And this is why new leadership
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: is needed, because when you look at the cops, with
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: the cops that we've spoken to on the street and
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: even in the higher ups, their hands had been tied.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: And we talk about regimes, we talk about authoritative we thought,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: we talk about dictatorships. That is what's happening from City
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Hall right now is that everybody has to get their
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: story straight. Everybody has to say the same things. Comply
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: with the city manager's office. Don't talk to the media,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: don't talk to political candidates, don't talk to this or that,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: And that is what dictatorships do. And that's what we're
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: seeing from the regime of what's happening in City Hall
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: and Cincinnati.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Well, and don't listen to your own constituents. I mean,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: we saw that on full display with how they treated
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Hyde Park and Bond Hill with the development projects. They
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: didn't carell what about their own constituents in those neighborhoods
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: having a say in the direction of their communities. Now,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I found that to be hard. Look at the reaction
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: from Hyde Park, how they got a balance in isiative.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be until they pulled the plug on the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: whole idea. They've insulted every resident within those various neighborhoods.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: And I would say literally every neighborhood in the city
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: of Cincinnati. But this one size fits all, so called
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Connected Communities development program, No, you do not have a say.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all based. I've said that since the beginning
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: that the Connected Communities was a trojan horse for Hey,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: we as a city can just do whatever we want
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: and we don't have to listen to the communities. We're
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: just going to build housing however we see fit, and
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: the communities have to have a say in this no
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: matter what. The fifty two neighborhoods of Cincinnati are unique
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: in every way, and we have to have a city
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: hall that represents all fifty two neighborhoods, not just our
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: urban core.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: And how important is the vote? I love this quote
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: and I mentioned it several times this morning, and maybe
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: and I mentioned earlier in the week, WCPO interviewed university
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: as every university political science professor about the election, who
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: was commenting on the low voter turnout that is anticipated.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I think Sherry Poland had a week or two ago
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: predicted I think to who was it to Jim Keefer,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Board of Election, Sherry Poland props to Sherry for all
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the hard work you've done over the show.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: She does a great jo.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: She really does props all day long, and everybody who's
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: working the polls on Tuesday, God bless you for doing that.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: It's wonderful community service. But she expects about twenty five
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: twenty six percent voter turnout. So the professor mac Marianni,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: who was interviewed, quote, I think very very low turnout
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: creates volatility, and here's the sailing point. It makes it
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: easier for a relatively small group of angry people to
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: make a difference. I would suggest that there's more than
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: a relatively small group of angry people in the city
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: of Cincinnati, given the current administration in the path it's
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: gone down. But nonetheless, we still expect a low voter turnout,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: meaning literally every human being with's an earshot of me
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: who has contact with a Cincinnati resident, someone who's registered
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: to vote in the City of Cincinnati, or if you
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: are that person, vote no.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, we have to get out and vote. We have
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: to make our voices heard. And it's not just about
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: a mayoral election. There are some strong city council candidates.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: The last the last election, we had ten candidates for
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: nine positions. This year we have twenty seven positions. We
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: have twenty seven candidates open, and so I would do
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: your research. We have strong candidates, like talking about Lynda Matthews,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Liz Keating, Christopher Smithman, even have Steve Gooden and other
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: individuals that they're going to have Cincinnati at the forefront
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: of their administration or how they would run government.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Gary Favors was mentioned by as well, Seth Walsh
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: again as you Smithman, Matthews, Gooden, Favors Walsh, and then
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: of course the all important let us not overlook the
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: judicial races. I mean, of course I would strongly encourage
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: you to vote for Josh Berkerwitz. Betsy Sunman is just
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: a delight and an excellent, excellent judge, Gwen Bender and
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Michael Peck all running for municipal court judges. Those are
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: some solid folks and of course strong on criminal justice
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: kind of folks.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: I want to actually talk about this too, in those
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: judicial races, you know, so I've talked personally with Betsy Sunderman,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Judge Betsy and Judge Burkewitz. These are incredible individuals. These
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: are people that have high integrity. They don't look on
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: either side of the aisle when it comes to their judges.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: They look at common sense, they look at the law,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: and they hold criminals accountable. And even in the last
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: week because I'm monster all the social media and everything,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: and these are two individuals that are incredible, and there
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: have been people on social media that have tried to
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: smear them and tried to do say things that I mean,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: it's one thing for me, all right, it's one thing
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: for other individuals that are a little bit easier to
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: go against. But these are people that have had amazing
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: careers and there are people that tried to smear them
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: on the most stupid stuff I've ever seen, made up
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: stuff that I've ever seen.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Well, when you don't have actual evidence to go on
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: to somebody, you make crap.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Up, exactly. So I want to encourage everybody, if you're
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: in like the Hyde Park area, if you're in Anderson
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: area where you're Judge Burkwitz, or if you're in the
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Blue Ash area with Betsy Sunderman, get out and vote.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Make sure that these judges are in as well. And
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: then if you're in the Cincinnati districts, you gotta get
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: out and vote for city council. You got to get
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: out and vote for mayor, and you got to get
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: out in record numbers.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: A fifteen fifty five KRCITY Talk Station, Cory Bowman in studio.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: The full hour will be right back to these brief words.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: It's talk station A nineteen. Ifif you about KRCD talk station,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Happy Friday. Hey, guess what early voting is going on?
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: You can even vote on Sunday. They have one kind
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: of board of elections. I encourage my listeners to do so,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: and most notably in the city of Cincinnata. You have
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: a choice. Go back to the definition of stupidity, repeatedly
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: different result. Thing's better for you right now? Do you
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: feel better about the city of Sincent and the current administration?
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: I don't, And I know Corey Bowman has the best
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: interest of the entire city that he loves at hard,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: not just one neighborhood, everybody. Everyone should have a benefit
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: from the administration, and clearly this one has demonstrated its
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: unwillingness to listen to its own voters. Just an absolute
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: smacking of ace insult. I understand Corey Bowman in studio
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: here Corey Bowman dot com. Feeling some love in Hyde Park,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: feeling some love in Oakley. You mentioned some of the
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: other neighborhoods, Mount Washington getting a lot of support from
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: the residents of Mount Washington, and you can be doing
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: a big blitz over on the west side from my
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: west Side friends.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so, I mean, over the course of the year,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: you know, we just basically go with not only our
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: gut feelings, but kind of research what's the biggest areas
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: to hit. And we had our final door knocking in
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Hyde Park last weekend and it was I mean, from
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: our first door knocking in High Park to this one
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: was completely different. I mean, we saw our signs everywhere,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: and then as we were knocking on doors, we had
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: so many people just say that they're vote for us.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: And then the thing that got me was that in
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: the middle of it, I'm sitting there walking and you
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: hear this, and this guy that's in a convertible, I
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: think it was probably his last day he could be
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: in a convertible for the year, and he's got his
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: top down and he stops in the middle of the
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: road and says Cory Bowman, and he just says, I'm
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: getting an army in Hyde Park to come out and
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: vote for you.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: We need this right now.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: And it was just like that was just a completely
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: different aspect of what we experienced early on, and.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Well, people got to learn about you over the year. Naturally,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: in a blue city like Cincinnati, you would expect some
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: resistance like yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever, Republican, you got no chance.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: But I mean you do. I mean, there is no
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: reason that you know, even the most about Democrat needs
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: to be happy or claim to be happy over the administration.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: I mean you listen, I've been critical of Republicans over
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: my lifetime. I don't always get what I want, but
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is a demonstrably terrible administration. Well.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: No, So I was doing an interview last night with
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Fox nineteen and they asked me, you know, what are
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: your thoughts about being a Republican in a blue city?
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: And I just tell people that when I go out
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: on the streets and I talk about these city issues,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: these aren't red or blueish. Oh They're not clean streets,
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: safe streets, prosperous streets. These are not partisan issues, and
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: as we've run this race at the beginning, because all
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: the headlines only said one thing, brother and Republican, which
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: I'm not ashamed of that, but we have to emphasize
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: that this race is for city issues. I've told people
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: that we are not copying seeing national politics in the
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: city hall. We're not using this as a stepping So
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: this is something that we have to do for our city. Now,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: I will say this because we talk about all fifty
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: two neighborhoods. I'm in the urban core, I'm in the
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: downtown area, I'm in the West and with our business,
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: with our coffee shop, and with our church, we see
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: the failed policies of what's happened in the downtown area,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: and that is what's creeping out to every neighborhood in Cincinnati.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: And so you're seeing in Hyde Park, you're seeing in
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Bond Hill, you're seeing it on the West Side, You're
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: seeing it everywhere. And that's why we're running this race
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: as well, because not just about all we got to
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: offend for the guys on the outside of the city. No,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: it's because we've seen these failed policies from the inside out.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: So it's all fifty two neighborhoods.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: And on the record, I just want to make sure
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: I'm solid with you on this. Corey Bowman, I know
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: I have to have pearl wall up until about five
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: seconds ago when he now says safety and safe communities
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: are his number one priority. Previously, he previously stated something
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: the effect of he views everything that lands on his
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: desk first and foremost from a green perspective, in other words,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: carbon free, neutral city. You know that kind of crap.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, I read the OpEd piece.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Now I would say that I would say it's true
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: that he sees it from a green perspective, but green
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: as far as money goes, because all it has to
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: do with is kickbacks. All has to do with making
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: sure that the friends and partners of aftab pur all
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: are richer and richer, and that is what has crippled
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: our city. I'm tired of it. I'm tired of the contractors,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: the nonprofits, the NGOs, and the people that are connected
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: with city Hall being the only people that are benefiting
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: from the government of Cincinnati. All fifty two neighborhoods need
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: to be represented, not just the connected developers and the
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: connected friends of those that are in office.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: So The thing is is that whenever we see this,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: people are seeing this in the election year that oh,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: now we're going to have Now listen, if I hear
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: double down one more time from this administration, we're going
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: to double down, double down. You need they're doubling down
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: on incompetence right now. Because the thing is is that
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: they say right now they're focusing on crime. They say
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: they're focusing on I mean, you saw the press conference. Oh,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: we're gonna have the snowpower moveal fixed because because we
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: have an app. Now, oh, obviously those that drive trucks,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: they're going to actually operate on an app right now.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: And that's what's gonna fix everything right now is an app. No,
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: it's common sense. These are things that we've been doing,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: snowpower moval since snow was invented. Okay, we've been doing
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm telling you crime intervention has been around
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: since canaan Abel. Okay. So it's not rocket science when
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: it comes to fixing these problems. But you have to
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: have a clear head and unbiased head and an unbiased
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: opinion when it comes to we're not going to put
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: politics in public safety. We're not going to bring politics
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: into just fixing our streets. And that is what city
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Hall has lost sight of over the years, is that
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: we have to push all these agendas. We have to
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: push all these so we have to push all these
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: community initials instead of just being who we are, which
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: is glorified custodians. That's what city Hall is, is your
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: glorified custodians. You have the keys to the city. You
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: keep the streets clean, you keep the streets safe, you
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: make sure the money is spent properly, and you make
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: sure to listen to the voices of the community.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Again, Amen, Corey Bowman, you're on fire this morning. It's
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: making great sense and of course providing listeners with a
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: wonderful opportunity to realize, yes, there is a better path
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: than what we've currently got. Corey Bowman. And don't forget
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: about the council members are gonna talk about that a
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: little bit because along with the role of mayor goes
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: the responsibility of choosing a vice mayor and an administration
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: and of course the city manager will have more with
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Corey Bowman Corey Bowman dot com. Just don't go away
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: be the talk station AY twenty nine On a Friday,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: the Friday, preceding election day next Tuesday. In case you
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: hadn't got the memo Corey Bowman in studio. Of course
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: he preferred mayoral candidate. And your vote really does matter
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: and you can change the direction of the city. Corey
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: was telling me off on the break. There you get
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: these big blocks of Democrats that show up at the primaries.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Right yep, yeah, well in early voting, in early voting. Yeah,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: So this is what we're seeing from the numbers. Because
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: I know Cincinnati and when it comes to the sports teams,
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: when it comes to everything involved in Cincinnati, we hate
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: getting our hopes up. But hey, we get our hopes
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: up and then we get let down because somebody gets
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: turf toe or something like that. So the thing is
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: is that I get it. A lot of people are
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: trying to figure out is this really possible. We're looking
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: at the numbers of early voting, and we're seeing Republicans
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: trending up in every area, and we're seeing Democrats trending
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: down in every area. And then this is what we're
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: seeing as well, is there is a ton of unaffiliated
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: and independence that are showing up. And so those are
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: the only statistics that we're able to look at right
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: now because a lot of people won't pay for polls
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: for such a small elect yes, right, yeah. And also
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: a lot of Democrats won't pay for polls because then
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: it'll let more Conservatives know about the election, right, They
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: just want to keep it close to the chest when
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: it comes to that. But I will say this that
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: what we see trending is going in our direction. But
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: then also the Republicans standpoint, always shows up the day
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: of more than they do an early voting.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Republicans for some reason, that's that's the day they vote.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So I would encourage people, Hey, if that's your plan,
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: that's fine, but you do have tonight, you know which
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: the Board of Elections is actually open during evening hours
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: as well, and so you do have the rest of
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: this weekend to be able to get out to the
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Hamilton County Board of Elections and cast your vote early.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: The reason why we say this is because you never
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: know what's going to happen on November fourth. You know,
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: there might be a car wreck, there might be traffic,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: there might be an unexpected thing happen with your family
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: or whatever. The power out it perfect place, So I
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: stuff like that happens. We tell people just to make
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: sure that your vote counts. Get in early. If you
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: can't Friday, Saturday Sunday. You know, it's not open on Monday,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: but Friday, Saturday Sunday over this weekend you can go
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: out to the Board of Elections and you can make
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: your voice heard there.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: And it's so I am so pleased they move the
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Board of Elections to that location off the Norwood Lateral.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: It's easy to get in, get out parking, and I
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: don't care what the line looks like when you pull up,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: and hopefully it's a long one because a lot of
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: people want to participate. They are awesome at turning it around.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: I mean getting in, getting your process, getting your vote,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: and getting out. It's easy. It doesn't take but a
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: couple of minutes. So that line is not long, even
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: if it appears to be long.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Now, what's really cool about this too. I'll say this
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: for the parents because I have four kids. And what's
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: really cool about is they have their own like kids
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: area that you can actually cast your vote for like
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: pizza or cheeseburgers or whatever, and they give you like
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: a voting sticker and everything. So if you have young kids,
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: and you're trying to figure out how is this going
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: to work with me taking my kids. They are extremely
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: accommodating for that, Like my kids actually like voting more
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: than me. When it comes to they go in, they're like, oh, yeah,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: we're gonna vote. And then what was crazy was I
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: think for one of the issues, it was like tacos
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: versus fries, and my son wrote in Corey Bowman, you know,
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: so there's a write in candidate for that. So I
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: was able to beat out the fry. So I was
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: really excited about that. And introduction to civics sho it's great,
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: it really is cool. But yeah, so on November fourth,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: obviously you look up where you're supposed to be voting
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: on the website, so you can go, I believe it's
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: vote Hamilton County dot org and you can go and
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: get your precinct. You can know what your registration status is,
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: all that stuff.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Going on there, sample ballots so you can see what
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: you're gonna vote on and know which judges you need
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: to vote for.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: That is important too, because you know if you want
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: a pink slip for conservative judges and to know who
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: to vote there because a lot of people go in
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: and they'll vote for like the mayor, they'll vote for
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: a couple of things they know for sure, and then
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: they kind of get burned out by like looking at
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: the twenty seven council candidates. But here's the thing though, too,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: is that the way our city government operates, you know,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: you have things like the vice mayor, you have things
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: that have to be worked out with with the new council,
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: and so you're only going to be as effective as
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: a mayor with the council that you're working with as well.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Right now, if we get a miracle goal on here,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: and I want to say a miracle as if it's
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: not achievable, it definitely is achievable, you get elected mayor.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: But if people elect a whole slate of Democratic council
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: members to go along with you, it's going to be
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: a little difficult to navigate. But you're gonna have to
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: select from among all the Democrats who's going to be
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: the vice mayor. So maybe a challenge there.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: No, I mean, for one, if we get in, you
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: know which, when we get in, I will argue, I'll
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: be very encouraged by that because I know for a
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: fact that that means we'll have some strong city council
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: members on board as well. That's exactly how a turn
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Smithman Matthews Good and favors Keating Walsh outstanding choices all
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: and do not vote for all nine. Don't water down
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: your council votes. Choose the mayor that you want, Choose
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: the council people the top choices for you for city council.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Otherwise the vote does get water.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to be smart with the vote because
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: what a lot of people don't understand is that with
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: the nine positions, you're not voting nine positions. It's the
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: nine top vote getters, right, And so if you're voting
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: for three, four or five anything past that, if you're
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: voting for a slate of nine, you're saying, hey, I've
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: got to fill in nine because there's nine candidates. Well,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: then what happens is that the votes actually end up
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: competing against each other to do that. And so what
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: we have to tell people is that if you want
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: the conservative vote and if you want all those strong
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: council members on that, only vote for three, four or
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: five max.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: A thirty five. Right now, more with Corey Bowman as
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: we close out the show. He's going to be here
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: the whole hour. We're going to hear a few more
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: things and got some more announcements to make. I hope
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: you can stick around and be right back fifty five
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: KRC PE Sportspands or Seedy Talk Station eight thirty nine
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Here at fifty five KRC, if you talk station and
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Bying Thomas with Corey Bowman. The last opportunity to speak
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: with Corey before the vote on Tuesday, or the vote
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: today or tomorrow or Sundays. He pointed out early voting
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: was going on. Please get in there and vote. Your
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: vote obviously is going to be a world of difference
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: for the city. We choose a different path. And I
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: just want to ask you directly, and I didn't ask
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: you this in advance. I don't know the answer to
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: the question, but I think I can anticipate it. You've
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: come on this program since you launched your campaign for mayor.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: This is like the fifth time I think you've been
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: on the morning show, maybe fourth willing to talk to
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: me now, Joe and I Joe Strecker, who lines up guests,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: don't ever get any love from council. Current Council, Current
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Mayor's office. None of them ever come on the Morning show.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: If you're elected mayor, will you continue to speak directly
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: to the public and answer pointed questions from me and
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: listen to my and my listening audience after being elected.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. This is something that what I've tried to push,
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: and this is a saying that I say, is that
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: a vote for an elected official is not a blank
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: check to do whatever you want. A vote is a
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: trust that you're always going to be at the table.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: And this is one of the tables that I sit
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: at to be able to hear from, you know, the
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: opinions of others. You know, usually every time that I
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: do this show, I'm getting messages of people saying their
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: opinion or saying, you know, what they thought about some
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: thing I said. And so we have to be able
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: to sit at any table and to be able to
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: actually take public comment, to be able to actually explain
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: things properly with transparency. And you know, I know that
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: we talked about at the beginning of the show, that's
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: exactly what we didn't see when it came to that
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: crime that was happening in July. And we're not here
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: to cover up things. We are here to make sure
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: things are transparent. We are making sure that the issues
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: are there out in the open for the public to
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: decide for themselves. And that is not what's happening from
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: the current administration. That was, and that is going to
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: be the opposite. You know, somebody asked me, I'm a
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: big fan of a show called The Office. All right, yeah,
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: and a lot of people. Obviously, we have a plan
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: for administration. We have a plan for policies when it
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: comes to crime, infrastructure, when it comes to spending the
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: budget properly. But somebody said told me, you know, ask
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: me what's your plan for being mayor? And I said, well,
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: you know, I think about an idiot, and I think
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: about what an idiot would do, and I don't do
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: that thing. And you know, for me, I think about
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Mayor aftab Provoll, I think about what he would do,
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: and then I don't do that thing. And that is
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: going to be my policy from mayor of Cincinnati.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: You know, it's easy to read into that. You just
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: call it aftab Provoll and idiot. I need just saying,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: you know, sm me interpreted that way. You might be
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: quoted by Fox nineteen JD Vancer's half brother calls aftab
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: purvall and idiot. Does it drive you crazy? I've been
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: just stewing over that, like you are the embodiment of JD. Vans,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: like you're running national, world, global policies. We make a stage.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: We make fun in my family because whenever I introduced
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: my mom to somebody, I say, hey, this is Jade
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: Vance's stepmom right here, and then I go up to
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: my sister. This is JD Vance's sister right here, This
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: is Jade Vance's Now Here's the thing I love. I mean,
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: Vice President JD. Vance being my brother. I mean, dear God,
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: what an amazing thing to be able.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: To say, to be cool.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what an amazing thing to be able to say.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: To be able to see my brother go from where
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: he's come from in the bag in his background, To
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: be able in such a short amount of time to
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: be at the vice presidency of the United States carrying himself,
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: being able to make these decisions, being able to try
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: to work with people across the island one of the
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: most polarizing times of her political culture. To be able
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: to step up and be able to serve our country
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: the way he is. So I'm very proud of the
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: fact that he is my brother. But when it comes
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: to this city government, when it comes to this, that
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: is what people are tired of. They are tired of copying,
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: pasting national politics. We see current city council members and
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: a current mayor that show up to national protests when
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: it comes to you know, all these national issues, but
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: they forget the people that they represent. They forget the
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: potholes in the roads, they forget the snowplow removal, they
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: forget the crime on our streets.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so true. I just kept thinking about that.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: You know, the roads alone, what a disaster. And then
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: you say, okay, road's fine, we're behind, Like how many
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: years of lane miles are we behind it? It's insane.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Well, the thing is too, at the current pace that
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: the city is going, it would take forty years to
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: pave all of our center lane miles of road.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Forty years. The current pace is the problem.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: Exactly exactly. And that's including with all of this new
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: influx of money coming in from the railroad, which a
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: lot of times we can see this as a shell
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: game or a substitution for what really should be coming
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: out of the budget. And those are things that we've
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: addressed throughout this year. The money is not being spent properly,
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: the infrastructure is not being a priority, and the crime.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the police is not a priority, has never been
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: for this administration. Well here the numbers haven't improved since
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: he took office.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Well, a lot of times their answer for things is
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: to throw money at it, right. That's something I've seen
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: on social media a lot is whenever we say that
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: City Hall doesn't back up the police, immediately they show, oh, hey, no,
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: we've We've funded the police. There is a very big
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: difference between on paper showing that you're throwing money at
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: something versus actually solving the issues. And that is what
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: we're saying. They through their stats and through their budget,
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: that's their weapon, I guess, is that they show that
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: they're dumping money into a situation. But just dumping money
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: into something does not fix it. You've got to be
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: able to make sure that you have the right contracts
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: when it comes to infrastructure. You got to make sure
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: you have the right administrative policies when it comes to
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: the policing, and a lot of times that just means
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: hands off approach. That means allowing the police to do
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: their job to enforce not only high level, but low
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: level crimes. I will say this, when it comes to
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: the police, the number one thing we will focus on
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: is hiring and getting our compliment levels up, because when
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: the state government comes in and the OSP comes in
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: and brings those compliment levels up, guess what happens. Crime
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: goes down on our streets. And so we've got to
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: be able to say that, hey, anything that is twenty
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: percent understaffed is not going to operate at its full potential.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: And lateral hiring initiatives that have happened throughout this year
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: have not seen the response that they want because nobody
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: wants to work for this leadership. If you get strong
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: leadership in and you have a lateral hiring class that
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: know that they're going to have city Hall to back
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: them up, you're going to get those complement levels up
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: and our crime is going to go down.
• 28:23

  Speaker 1: And obviously encouraging people to get out and vote and
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: try Corey Bowman as an option, because current option not
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: real working out real well for most people in the
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: City of Cincinnati. Unless you're one of those non governmental
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: organizations organizations, or unless the community revolts against you a
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: well connected developer, you're not getting any love. At least
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: you don't feel like you're getting any love from have
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: to have pervoll And City Manager long and the balance
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: of council members. So is with great encouragement, I say,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: please get out and vote Corey Bowman. I'm listener lunches
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: next Wednesday. I am not putting you on the spot
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: and asking you to commit or not commit to go,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: but you are invited. Of course, everybody's going to be invited.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: A High Grain brewery next Wednesday the Brentwood location, and
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: I hope we are in a celebratory mood. And even
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: if we are, it's high grain brewery, you'll be able
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: to have a beer and drown your sorrows or something
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: like that. But I'm going to try to be very cautiously,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: if not very optimistic for your Corey. I know the
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: numbers are rolling in and they're looking, they're looking. They
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: provide a great measure of optimism, which is something I
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: never thought I could even say.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I think that one of the biggest things is,
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: you know, I hate to say this because it's what
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: we've heard all throughout the year, but a person's perception
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: is their reality. Right now, when it comes to crime,
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: a reality is a reality. I kind of believe that.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: But when it comes to these elections, a lot of
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: times people's perception of all it's just too far gone
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: or whatever, and then a lot of times you just
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: don't want to get your hope for it. I want
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: to remind people that over six about sixteen years ago,
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Brad Wentztrupp ran from mayor and it was split almost
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: down the middle.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he got forty seven percent of the vote. If
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: I recall correct forty off.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So the thing is with this is that how
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: can you say that there's an overwhelming, you know, response
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: on one side if you haven't even really seen in
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: these elections somebody can test.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: It or or in the case to the Republican Party
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: not even bothering to run anybody in a lot of
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: these races. Well, I think it was like they pulled
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: the flag out left well one of the biggest things.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: And so I was actually just looking through my text
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: through Joe here. But February fifth was our first interview.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: February fifth was our first interview. And so I'm driving
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: on the road today and you can feel that cold weather,
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: you can feel like the winter coming in, and I
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: just think back of February fifth, how we were driving
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: in the middle of snow to get to this studio,
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: to be able to have our first interviews together. And
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: so what an amazing year, you know, to be able
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: to show people what we're standing for, but also what
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: a year that has shown that we need new leadership.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: And I think that if anything, when it comes to
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: this election, people have to vote outside their comfort zones,
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: and they have to not only vote outside their comfort zones,
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: is if you're a regular voter, but if you don't
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: vote at all, get out, get out, take a chance
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: on this and to show people that our city's not
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: too far gone. Because I want to emphasize this. You're
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: seeing a lot of things in downtown cities all across
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: America right now. I believe Cincinnati is one of these
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: unique cities to where we are not too far gone.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: When you talk to people on the street, they are optimistic,
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: they are common sense. Whether they are a Republican or Democrat,
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: they have a sense about them to where they know
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: not to get involved in all the crazy craziness of
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: life and craziness of the world, but to be realistic
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: that we just have to have common sense and meet
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: each other where we are. And so I think when
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: it comes to this election, if anybody is listening that
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: was maybe on the fence, I just want to tell
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: people we are running this on city issues for Cincinnati,
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: and that's it. And when we get in office, we're
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: from day one, we're going to make sure that we're
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: ready for the winter months, for the snow, We're ready
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: for the spring potholes, We're ready for the summer and
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: fall crime, and we're ready to bring Cincinnati to the
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: fullest potential that it can be.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: Sounds great, Corey Bowman. If you're outside of the city limits,
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: you all know somebody who lives in the city, a
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: business in the city. You know this is important. And
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: I mean I saw the hands raise at that fundraiser
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: that I was at at Wyoming where I introduced you.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Wyoming is not part of the city, but they are
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: right there against the city. You got a huge turnout
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: of people very interested in helping you out and helping
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: your election out because of the massive spillover effect that
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: whatever happens in the city of Cincinnati impacts everybody in
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: the region. Absolutely, That's why I'm so passionate about this.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, I love Cincinnati. I do. One of the
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: reasons I moved back here from Chicago for God's sake.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Well, this has been the problem throughout the year, is
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: that a lot of people confuse being frustrated with how
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: the city is being run with not having a love
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: for the city. Yeah, And the thing is is that
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: I love Cincinnati. That's why I'm running this race. I'm
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: not running this race to trash talk our city. I'm
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: running this race because I care about all these issues
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: I care about, all these neighborhoods, and a lot of
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: people ask me, well, how are you looking in polls
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: or how's the campaign running? And this is what I
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: tell them. You've probably heard me multiple times. I say
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: it's going in our direction. I hate the reasons why
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: it's going in our direction. Because every time that you
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: see more shootings, every time that you see mismanagement of funds,
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: every time that you see the potholes getting worse and worse,
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: every time that you see something being a failure from
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: city hall, that means that we are running this race
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: for the right reasons and that people have to wake
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: up to know that new leadership is needed.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Corey Bowman, I have enjoyed our conversations. You have blossomed
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: over the course of your candidacy. Your policies are sharper,
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: You're more focused, and that you know those final words
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: there obviously some up and say a whole lot about
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: who you are. You do care, you do want to
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: change things. You are aware of the problems, You understand priorities.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: You know what makes a neighborhood better, a safer, cleaner community.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: I wish you all the best, and I hope we
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: are in a tremendously celebratory mood next week at High
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Grading Brewery on Wednesday for the listener logic at Brentwood location.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Corey Bowman dot com is where you'll find Corey online.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: And it's not too late to help your friends. And again,
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: like to the people at Wyoming, all the hands were raised. Yes,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: I've got a brother or sister that lives in the city.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: The point was reach out to them, get them off
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: the couch, encourage them to go ahead, just cast that vote,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: get it out of the way, don't wait till Tuesday,
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: going into the Board of Elections over the weekend. Take
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: care of it. You'd be glad you did, and you
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: may end up with a better city as a consequence
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: for it. Corey, I wish you all the best. God
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: bless you, sir.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: Thank you Brian so much. And this is in the
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: last spit. So anytime that you're gonna have me, I'm
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: going to be here.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Oh I'll insist and trust me. Yeah you asked Smithman,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: you screw up. I will be all over you. Come
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: on any other way. I get the text from Smitherman.
• 35:40
