Speaker 1 (00:07):
Billy cunning in the Great America, and welcome to this floor.
Is sunny Wednesday opening in the tri States, and of
course Joe Flaco is dominating the news athletically, and according
to Tony Bender and others, they have their sources deep
in the bowels of the Bengals locker room. Looks like
Joe Flacco is going to start on Sunday in Green Bay.
The four to twenty five star gives him an extra
maybe three hours to get ready. So I don't know
(00:28):
how big the playbook's going to be, but he's got
an extra three hours to do a little bit better
than Jake to Snake Browning. But other than that, we
got big issues happening in River City, including the mayor's race,
and of course half to have pureval is running. He
looks good, he smells good, he dresses well. But the
policies stink. But that's a different issue. And joining you
nine now is the Republican candidate for mayor, Corey Bowman.
(00:50):
And Corey, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham showing first
of all as a father, as a business owner in
the West End, as kind of a normal person. Why
in the hell do you want to do this when
Kamala Harris got seventy seven percent of the vote in
the election in the city of Cincinnati. What is Corey Bowman,
the half brother of JD. Vance, want to be the
mayor of Cincinnati.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Well, Bill, first off, thank you so much for having
us on. You know, early voting just started yesterday. Me
and my wife went to the Board of Elections and
we voted. I will tell you who I vote for.
I I'm a little biased. You can probably figure that out,
you know. As far as me, you know, I've been
you know, pastoring and business owner in the downtown area
for about five years now. You know, I raised in
(01:33):
the area. And for me, you know, just like many
people on both sides of y'ale, we love this city.
We love the potential of this city. We love the
sports of this city except when we're playing and then
we kind of debate that every week. But besides that,
you know, we we care about the policies that affect
the residents of this city. And what I think is
happening in city Hall is that people have lost sight
(01:56):
of what truly impacts the residents of the downtown area
to neighborhoods of our city. And that's what we've got
to bring it back to. You know, for me, my
opinion is that city Hall is nothing but glorified custodians.
We've got the keys to the city. We need to
keep the streets clean, we need to keep the streets safe.
We need to get a handle on crime from a
(02:17):
city perspective, and we need to make sure the money
is spent properly. And when you look through the budget
of the city, when you look at the crime that's
happening in our city, when you look at the potholes everywhere,
you can tell that people have lost sight of what
truly needs to be prioritized at city Hall. And that's
why we're running well.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
We had another terrible event on the heart of the city,
of course, is Fountain Square, another event in which shots fired.
I saw a lot of cones out, maybe twenty to
thirty cones. Two people are involved a gunplay on Fountain Square.
And every time I talk to city council members, they
tell me crime is down, crime is down. Are the
books cooked in the City of Cincinnati to give us
(02:56):
a defined result? So Ted Pierreval and others can run
on the idea that crime is down. What everyone knows
crime is up. Are the books being cooked at city council?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Well, this is what I hear from city council A
lot is that the perception of people is their reality
and so it's perceived as unsafe. Well, you know, we
used to counsel in our church a lot of youth
in the inner city. And if a kid came in
with a black eye that he said that, you know,
his father, his mother, you know, beat him the night before.
We don't look at that child and say that their
(03:29):
perception is their reality. We know that their reality is
their reality and we do something about it. So to
tell people that, oh, it's only a perception that downtown
is unsafe, but yet you know, Founain Square got shot
up last night. We've had three shootings in three days,
two of them were hobicides. Then that's a slap in
the face to people, to business owners, to single moms,
(03:50):
to families that are living in the area that experience
this on a day to day basis. You know, you
asked are we cooking the books? What I will tell
you is that our church on Clark Street in the
West End, we've had three instances where forty to sixty
shots have come by the street and they have run
into car windows, into residents' homes, and a lot of
(04:14):
it gets reported as just simply property damage. Right it's
not even being reported properly. And then a lot of
people don't even call nine one one anymore in the
West End specifically, because we know it's not going to
get dispatched properly. These are administrative failures that's happening from
the top down, and that's why we're running.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Two thousand cars are reported it's stolen. There's probably thirty
to forty thousand car break ins in the city of Cincinnati.
According to shot spotter, there's at least twenty thousand bullets
flying around the city every year. Think about a number
of twenty thousand bullets flying around that are picked up
by shot spotter. There's thousands more not picked up by
a shot spotter. We have a police force down about
(04:54):
twenty percent, and so if crime is down supposedly twenty percent,
it's only down because twenty percent fewer cops are arresting people.
If cops aren't available to arrest anyone, of course, crime
is going to be down because cops are not arresting anyone.
Plus can you address yourself to solutions. One of the
solutions a lemon kearney and they have to have pirival,
(05:15):
is to have a program where arm robbers are paid
about one thousand dollars a month not to commit armed
robberies and are giving travel vouchers to other cities to
enjoy themselves to get out of the cauldron of the
city of Cincinnati. You think it's a good idea to
pay arm robbers one thousand dollars a month of tax
payer money not to commit more arm robberies? Is that
a good idea?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Well, I'll say this, if you're paying arm robbers, then
a lot of people might choose a different profession to
try to get benefits of that payment in the next
few weeks ahead. But I will say this that we
do have solutions for this, and these solutions come from
the people that are boots on the ground. You know
when you say that phrase crime is doubt, I've said
(05:57):
to cop after cop that city Hall states that crime
is down, and immediately, I'm telling you right now, every
single one of them roll their eyes emphatically whenever they
hear that, because they know it's not true. They know
that they are trying to come up for air every night.
I've had officers that have come in to my shop
and they'll look at me and say, if you don't win,
(06:17):
I'm going to consider early retirement because it is a
craftstorm of what's happening from the administration. These are officers
that care about our city, that got into the job
to be able to protect and serve, and so our
solutions from the top down are We're going to allow
the police offers to enforce the law. We're going to
remove any of these divisive initiatives like Act por SINCI
(06:39):
or three to one one or art programs that divide
the police department from the communities that they want to serve.
And then we're going to totally look at the ECC,
the Emergency Communications Center, and make sure that our call
takers are dispatchers in our administration, in that department is
going to be run by people that have police experience
(07:00):
and know what they're doing. We're going to be doing
a lot when it comes to that, but I think
the biggest aspect is allowing the cops to do their job.
Because I talked with an officer right before the WBN
fireworks and I asked them, hey, is there anything that
we need to make aware on social media to give
you guys some help, Like do we need to call
in for help from the state, Do we need to
(07:21):
call in for help from other sources? And the officer
looked at me and said, we just want to be
able to do our job. And that is the general
consensus of what I get from CPD. They're not asking
for help from the state or federal They're just asking
to be able to do their jobs effectively. And every
decision that's being made from the administration has political aspects
(07:44):
of it, and they hate that. They just want to
be able to protect and serve Corey Bowman.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
As far as your relationship, your half brother is JD. Vance.
I mentioned earlier that Kamala Harris got seventy seven percent
of the vote in the city of Cincinnati. Is your
brother's presence the vice president of the United States? Is
that a positive or a negative in the city of Cincinnati.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Well, for me, my relationship with my brother is always
going to be positive. I'm never gonna be ashamed of
where my brothers come from and where he's taken himself
because in just such a short amount of time he's
come from abject poverty, coming from the struggles that many
people in the nation know about, to then going to
the Marine Corps and then going to graduating early from
(08:29):
Ohio State University from Yale, and then rising up to
the Vice President of the United States as a family member.
I'm so proud of where he's come from. But at
the same time, I need people to understand that we're
running this race not as like a plant from the
federal government. We're running this race because we are trying
to do our part to help our city. And that's
(08:50):
exactly why we're running.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah, have you thought about bringing your brother into help
with the campaign.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
My brother loves Cincinnati. But when we talk, I will
tell people this is that at the end of the day,
I need to have a brother, you know, more than
a political advisor. Because we talk about our kids, we
talk about you know, Star Wars, we talk about all
these other things. And he's got a lot of bigger
fish for fry whenever he's in the position that he's in,
and so when we have those moments together, that's what
(09:20):
we talk about. Now when it comes to help, he's
completely on board with what we're doing. He's endorsed us
but I think that this has to be a race
that we're running and showing people that we're running this
for Cincinnati because the opposition that my opponent is trying
to use the city and trying to use all these
positions to try to get up to a higher level
in DC, whether it be a cabinet position or whatever.
(09:42):
I'm not trying to do that. I'm actually just trying
to use my relationship with DCS to try to impact
Cincinnati in a positive way.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
When I talked to business owners, there's one on the
Banks that was in the Inquirer day. It's like a
mini martive sorts, he said. Every day, there's six to
ten fe every day coming in. He said. He started
using cameras. It turns out to be twenty to thirty
thefts every day from his store, he said, calling the police,
Cincinni Police, this is at the banks. This isn't maybe
(10:11):
in price Ill somewhere. It's worthless because they have so
many thieves coming into a store that people walk in,
take his tough and leave, And of course he's about
to leave the banks because he can't live like that.
You have many other individuals who were in Oakley and
at Hyde park that had massive car break ins. They
don't call the police. They hit the nine to one
one picked up, Okay, we'll send a car. A car
(10:33):
doesn't come, and then they call back and say I
like to make a police report, and the nine to
one operator will say, well, we'll note that. And so
there's a feeling in the citizens of Cincinnati that when
crime takes place, it will not be memorialized, it will
not be noted. If the police are demoralized, they don't
show up. If you've been hired the past five years,
you're told, as a police officer in Cincinnati, don't pull
(10:56):
people over for speeding violations or minor traffic. You might
have to go hand on because there's no license. If
your car is broken into, just deal with the insurance company.
If your store is robbed repeatedly, maybe the store owner
said in the banks fifty to sixty times a week
he has known thieves enter his store a week. So
over a month, we're talking about two to three hundred thefts,
(11:17):
none of which are recorded. So it's not surprising that
crime is down. Also, when cops tell me there's been
two people taken to curfew violation centers because the kids
are now telling the cops how old are you? I'm eighteen? Okay,
you got your ID with you? I don't have any ID.
Cops can't arrest anybody on a curfew, and cops don't
want to arrest anybody on a curfew. So shots are fired,
(11:38):
blood running in the streets. Shopkeepers are being looted, Individuals
are having violation of their personal space in their cars.
Bullets are flying into homes. None of this is recorded
as crime because they don't call the police. And so
how do you respond to the mayor? Tomorrow night at
Xavier there's a big, great debate there, and I'm sure
(12:00):
the Democratic Party has already stocked the audience in order
to say patting themselves on the back. I looked this
morning in the Inquiry lemon Kearney and others are talking
about crime is down, crime is down, crime is down.
It is a lie. How do you tell the truth
when the entire media in this town and others are
treating this issue of crime as if it is something
better than it's been in the past, when we know
(12:22):
it isn't. Ben Now, you got me a little bit
fired up. I wish we had citizens who would actually
report crime. And the city would note what's being done.
And like on Fountain Square, I saw about twenty eight
cones on Fountain Score at five thirty pm yesterday. I'm
watching Shriek Palelo last night, and once again on Fountain
Square there's a sense that it's the ok Corral. We
(12:43):
have people being robbed, we have women being sexually assaulted,
we have cars being broken into, we have businesses being looted,
and the city's mayor act as if I see here
and speak no evil. How do you deal with all that?
Tomorrow night? There's a question in there somewhere.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Well, I'm telling you, Bill, what's been happening on the streets.
Every single thing that you just mentioned that is what
the citizens of Cincinnati are experiencing. And what you said
is how are people reporting crime? How are people doing this?
If people are fed up, this is what they have
to do. They have to go to the Board of
Elections during early voting, and they have to make their
(13:21):
voice heard. We have a debate tomorrow night. It's not
so much just focusing on the bat of the past.
We've got to focus on the hope for a future.
And I think that's what many people in Cincinnati have
lost when everybody saw Joe Burrow run his foot, run
his toe that everybody lost hope when everybody saw that
final inning of the second game against the Dodgers. There's
(13:42):
a lot of hope that gets lost. And when people
are seeing what's happening in our city, a lot of
hope is getting lost. But I'm here to tell people
we have plans, we have policies. We know this isn't
rocket science. We can bring this city back. We can
be able to help our communities, the ones in low poverty,
that are business owners, the people that have expressed their
(14:02):
interests that they're tired of where the city is going.
We can actually make a difference. And this starts with
this election. Get educated on what the city council members
that are running stand for, and then you have a
choice between After Purval and Corey Bowman. And I'm asking
every single person Unlike the other side, I don't feel
that I'm entitled to a vote. I don't feel that
(14:24):
I'm entitled to somebody putting a sign in their yard
or getting the word out. But what I will do
is work my butt off to say I want to
earn that vote. We have policies, we have plans and
we have a heart for this city, and we're not
going to look at party lines. We're going to look
at what's going on Cincinnati. And if that's the case
with what you feel, then I would encourage every single
(14:45):
person get out and vote. Vote, Vote for Corey Bowman
for mayor Cincinnati.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
What does your website? Many want to know if they
want to get involved in help, what is your website
of any.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
The website is Coreybowman dot com and Cory Bown. We've
got all of our structure in place. Every financial contribution
from here on out is going toward ads, and it's
going toward getting the word out to as many people
as possible that there's an election happening November fourth, and
that we actually have a choice. Because you're mentioning seventy
(15:16):
seven percent of the vote went the other way for
the presidential election. This is because people don't see a
point in voting in the city of Cincinnati. But there's
a sleeping giant of conservative values. There's a sleeping giant
of people that are moderate, that see common sense on
both sides, and they want to get out and make
their voices heard. I'm telling people You've got a choice
(15:37):
on November fourth, get out and vote.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Vote, vote all right, Corey Bowman, thank you. Your opponent
looks good, smell is good, acts great, but he stinks
as the mayor. Let's continue, Corey Bowman, you're a great
American and thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Thank you, Corey, Thank you, Bill, to you and all
your listeners. It's not or being on.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
God bless America. Let's continue with more and there it is.
And do I have hope? Yes, I always have hope.
I always have hope. Look at the Yankees last night,
losing six to one, and everyone stood up for Aaron
Judge and guess what the Yankees won. I know Paul
O'Neill is happy about that. That's a different story. But
the city must be saved and Corey Bowman is the
(16:18):
man that can save it. Bill Cunningham News Radio seven

that we're running and showing people that we're running this
for Cincinnati because the opposition that my opponent is trying
to use the city and trying to use all these
positions to try to get up to a higher level
in DC, whether it be a cabinet position or whatever.
(09:42):
I'm not trying to do that. I'm actually just trying
to use my relationship with DCS to try to impact
Cincinnati in a positive way.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
When I talked to business owners, there's one on the
Banks that was in the Inquirer day. It's like a
mini martive sorts, he said. Every day, there's six to
ten fe every day coming in. He said. He started
using cameras. It turns out to be twenty to thirty
thefts every day from his store, he said, calling the police,
Cincinni Police, this is at the banks. This isn't maybe
(10:11):
in price Ill somewhere. It's worthless because they have so
many thieves coming into a store that people walk in,
take his tough and leave, And of course he's about
to leave the banks because he can't live like that.
You have many other individuals who were in Oakley and
at Hyde park that had massive car break ins. They
don't call the police. They hit the nine to one
one picked up, Okay, we'll send a car. A car
(10:33):
doesn't come, and then they call back and say I
like to make a police report, and the nine to
one operator will say, well, we'll note that. And so
there's a feeling in the citizens of Cincinnati that when
crime takes place, it will not be memorialized, it will
not be noted. If the police are demoralized, they don't
show up. If you've been hired the past five years,
you're told, as a police officer in Cincinnati, don't pull
(10:56):
people over for speeding violations or minor traffic. You might
have to go hand on because there's no license. If
your car is broken into, just deal with the insurance company.
If your store is robbed repeatedly, maybe the store owner
said in the banks fifty to sixty times a week
he has known thieves enter his store a week. So
over a month, we're talking about two to three hundred thefts,
(11:17):
none of which are recorded. So it's not surprising that
crime is down. Also, when cops tell me there's been
two people taken to curfew violation centers because the kids
are now telling the cops how old are you? I'm eighteen? Okay,
you got your ID with you? I don't have any ID.
Cops can't arrest anybody on a curfew, and cops don't
want to arrest anybody on a curfew. So shots are fired,
(11:38):
blood running in the streets. Shopkeepers are being looted, Individuals
are having violation of their personal space in their cars.
Bullets are flying into homes. None of this is recorded
as crime because they don't call the police. And so
how do you respond to the mayor? Tomorrow night at
Xavier there's a big, great debate there, and I'm sure
(12:00):
the Democratic Party has already stocked the audience in order
to say patting themselves on the back. I looked this
morning in the Inquiry lemon Kearney and others are talking
about crime is down, crime is down, crime is down.
It is a lie. How do you tell the truth
when the entire media in this town and others are
treating this issue of crime as if it is something
better than it's been in the past, when we know
(12:22):
it isn't. Ben Now, you got me a little bit
fired up. I wish we had citizens who would actually
report crime. And the city would note what's being done.
And like on Fountain Square, I saw about twenty eight
cones on Fountain Score at five thirty pm yesterday. I'm
watching Shriek Palelo last night, and once again on Fountain
Square there's a sense that it's the ok Corral. We
(12:43):
have people being robbed, we have women being sexually assaulted,
we have cars being broken into, we have businesses being looted,
and the city's mayor act as if I see here
and speak no evil. How do you deal with all that?
Tomorrow night? There's a question in there somewhere.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Well, I'm telling you, Bill, what's been happening on the streets.
Every single thing that you just mentioned that is what
the citizens of Cincinnati are experiencing. And what you said
is how are people reporting crime? How are people doing this?
If people are fed up, this is what they have
to do. They have to go to the Board of
Elections during early voting, and they have to make their
(13:21):
voice heard. We have a debate tomorrow night. It's not
so much just focusing on the bat of the past.
We've got to focus on the hope for a future.
And I think that's what many people in Cincinnati have
lost when everybody saw Joe Burrow run his foot, run
his toe that everybody lost hope when everybody saw that
final inning of the second game against the Dodgers. There's
(13:42):
a lot of hope that gets lost. And when people
are seeing what's happening in our city, a lot of
hope is getting lost. But I'm here to tell people
we have plans, we have policies. We know this isn't
rocket science. We can bring this city back. We can
be able to help our communities, the ones in low poverty,
that are business owners, the people that have expressed their
(14:02):
interests that they're tired of where the city is going.
We can actually make a difference. And this starts with
this election. Get educated on what the city council members
that are running stand for, and then you have a
choice between After Purval and Corey Bowman. And I'm asking
every single person Unlike the other side, I don't feel
that I'm entitled to a vote. I don't feel that
(14:24):
I'm entitled to somebody putting a sign in their yard
or getting the word out. But what I will do
is work my butt off to say I want to
earn that vote. We have policies, we have plans and
we have a heart for this city, and we're not
going to look at party lines. We're going to look
at what's going on Cincinnati. And if that's the case
with what you feel, then I would encourage every single
(14:45):
person get out and vote. Vote, Vote for Corey Bowman
for mayor Cincinnati.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
What does your website? Many want to know if they
want to get involved in help, what is your website
of any.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
The website is Coreybowman dot com and Cory Bown. We've
got all of our structure in place. Every financial contribution
from here on out is going toward ads, and it's
going toward getting the word out to as many people
as possible that there's an election happening November fourth, and
that we actually have a choice. Because you're mentioning seventy
(15:16):
seven percent of the vote went the other way for
the presidential election. This is because people don't see a
point in voting in the city of Cincinnati. But there's
a sleeping giant of conservative values. There's a sleeping giant
of people that are moderate, that see common sense on
both sides, and they want to get out and make
their voices heard. I'm telling people You've got a choice
(15:37):
on November fourth, get out and vote.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Vote, vote all right, Corey Bowman, thank you. Your opponent
looks good, smell is good, acts great, but he stinks
as the mayor. Let's continue, Corey Bowman, you're a great
American and thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Thank you, Corey, Thank you, Bill, to you and all
your listeners. It's not or being on.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
God bless America. Let's continue with more and there it is.
And do I have hope? Yes, I always have hope.
I always have hope. Look at the Yankees last night,
losing six to one, and everyone stood up for Aaron
Judge and guess what the Yankees won. I know Paul
O'Neill is happy about that. That's a different story. But
the city must be saved and Corey Bowman is the
(16:18):
man that can save it. Bill Cunningham News Radio seven
