to the fifty five Carse Morning Show. Help support his campaign.
(00:35):
Coreybowman dot com is where you find him. Welcome back,
hopefully the next mayor of the City of Cincinnati, Cory Bowman.
It's great to have you on the show this morning.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Brian, it's awesome to be here.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Thank you, and it's awesome to be you and your
wife Jordan. Congratulations. I guess yesterday was the big day
for the delivery of Ezra Ray Bowman.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yes, thank you so much. We just had our fourth
child yesterday morning.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
And beautiful pictures. Obviously, he's a cute baby. All babies
are cute, and everybody's doing well about that.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
But healthy, very healthy. Yeah, the baby and mom are
perfectly healthy and happy and we're enjoying it.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
That's wonderful. So congratulations to you on the new addition
to your household. All right, let's start with just generally speaking,
how's the campaign going and people helping you out. I
know you've got an event coming up next Monday. You
might want to tell folks about that one too, because
there's an opportunity for them to help out.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah, I mean for anybody that knows their story. We
made the decision really in February to get involved in
this race, and this is our first political race, but
we've had great momentum, great strategy on that, and so
we have a big fundraiser that's actually coming up July
fourteenth downtown Cincinnati. You can go to our website Corey
(01:58):
Bowman dot com and go all the information there, and
that's that you could be a part of really helping
our campaign make the biggest impact going into November.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
And I see that brad Winstrop's going to be there.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Yeah. So the last person to do it as far
as running for mayor Cincinnati as a Republican was in
two thousand and nine, and that was doctor brad winstrip
And he's a great man. I've had many conversations with him.
He's got great insight on how to run this race properly,
and so I asked him that he would consider being
a part of our first big event.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
He said, yes, Oh, that's great. I'm glad he's helping
you out. He does it obviously, he's run multiple races before,
and he did come close when he ran for mayor.
He came close.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah, and you know, we hadn't had a Republican mayor
actually since I believe this nineteen seventy nine, nineteen eighty
was the original base but last person to run in
two thousand and nine. When you look at that race,
he did come fairly close. And through that it opened
up the doors for a lot of different policies and
(03:05):
different mindsets to come in the city. And so I
was very encouraged by our conversations and once get I'm
very happy to work with them.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Well, and you live in the West End, so you
probably see it firsthand. We have a serious crime problem
in downtown Cincinnati. It seems like it's getting worse and worse.
Of course, with the summer months and the humanity and
tench temperatures running high and flaring that that's kind of
a thing that's sort of generally recognized, but the city
of Cincinnati, it just seems to be getting so much worse.
(03:33):
I had FOP President Ken Cobra on yesterday talking about it,
followed by Christopher Smitheman who was talking about it, and
it was an interesting statement. There was just the other
day a fourteen year old boy shot dead in Avondel
happened yesterday. WCPO interviewed Bishop Ennis Tate, who had this statement.
He said, it's literally a public health issue and the
(03:55):
spirit of violence is contagious. If we treated this gun
violence as seriously as we did COVID, it will be
a different outcome for our city. And I was thinking
to myself because both FOP President Ken Kober and Christopher
Smith and were both complaining about the deafening silence from
the Mayor's office and council on this violence that's going on.
(04:15):
They don't speak a word about supporting the police or
encouraging communities to engage with and help the police find
the bad guys and prevent violence. That's what was done
during COVID. Elected officials took it very seriously or out
literally every day telling us what we could do and
could not do. It was a twenty four to seven
news cycle involving nothing but COVID, COVID, COVID from elected officials.
(04:38):
You would think, given the gravity of the problem in
the city with violence, that we might get some something
out of the administration. But nothing. I mean, how do
you what's your reaction to that? Is that your perception
Corey Bowman.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Well, no, I think it's funny that you mentioned that,
because actually the biggest thing to help that motivated us
to start our church was all the things that was
happening during COVID, Because if we learned anything from COVID,
it was the importance of your local leadership and your
local city government because during that time there were so
(05:12):
many mandates and so many things that was actually going
against the rights of people, but they were taking it
very seriously because it was seen as a very big
social issue. Well, then we've got this thing that is
actually impacting our streets on a daily basis. You've got,
like you said, a fourteen year old kid gets shot,
But then we don't hear anything from it. It's because
(05:32):
the political correctness of everything might not be in the
handbook right now, and they're trying to figure out what
to do. But we've got to take action right now,
and it's even about being reactive right now. This is
something that if you live downtown, if you lived anywhere
close to the city, then you saw this coming. Even
in winter and springtime. There were so many people that
(05:54):
were warning that this once the weather was going to
get warmer, that this was going to happen based on
what they were seeing in the city, and they were
doing what they thought they could do when it came
to the Act Cincinnati programs or whatever. But the reality
of it is that they're not taking the right approach
when it comes to decreasing crime in our city.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Well, what approach would Corey Bowman take. I know one
of the problems in the frustrations expressed by Ken Kober,
the FOP president, was you know, we do have a curfew,
and we've got these roving gangs of teens that outnumber
people and threaten people and commit acts of crime and violence,
generally making the downtown area kind of like a very
unwelcoming environment and frightening people away. Like you want to
(06:36):
go to Ruby's for dinner, No, because at seven o'clock
dinner reservation means I'm not going to get done till
maybe nine or nine point thirty, perhaps even ten o'clock,
and you don't want to be walking around down there
at that late hour, I'm afraid. So you've got that.
But then, as Ken pointed out, if we pick someone
up and arrest them for violating the curfew, they don't
even prosecute them. The minute the magistrates will just dismiss
(06:59):
the case. They will be left back out on the streets,
no record, no no consequences. I mean, there's a problem
in and of itself the people. The police can issue
tickets and arrest people, but there's apparently no follow through
on the judicial end of it.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Yeah. Well, whenever you look at what's going on in
our city, a lot of people want to look at
the police department and want to look at certain individuals.
But this comes from the top down. This is the
culture that they've set and that they've put the morale
of our police officers at the lowest level it could.
What's happening right now is that because the month of June,
(07:36):
crime was spiking like crazy, and in our even in
our coffee shop on my phone, I was on the
phone with cops on a regular basis, just trying to
figure out and learn what's the morales, what's the situation
going on within the police department. And there was a
general consensus from talking with multiple police officers, not just heads,
but I mean I'm talking about beat cops and those
(07:58):
that are doing the everyday work, and the general consensus
is they're not happy with the support from their local government.
They're not happy with the support or even the enforcement
from the prosecutors. Like you were talking about. They feel
like that they're not supported as far as if they
were to make arrests or if they are to do
(08:19):
certain things to do their job, that they wouldn't have
the full backing of their city leaders. And then when
it comes to the prosecuting, Yeah, it's a revolving door
of criminals that go in and then they go out
and they do the same things. And so a lot
of officers don't even see the point of it, because
what's the point of booking somebody that's going to be
right back on the streets doing the same thing the
(08:40):
very next week. And so this is from the top down,
and these are things that have to change. Our police
officers love our city, Our police officers want to protect
and serve our state. That's why they got into the job.
But right now you're seeing officers, even at a rapid pace,
they're saying that, hey, when retirement comes up, you know,
I'm I'm out because there's no way that we're going
(09:02):
to subject ourselves to this on a regular basis.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Well, and I think it's worse than that. According to
to Ken, people are retiring early. They're just saying, no
the hell, I'm not even going to go through the
drop program, which benefits those officers who make it through
the drop program a lot in terms of finances and
their pension payment. So if they're not willing to stick
it out to their own financial benefit, that means that's
(09:26):
a bad sign right there, Corey.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
No, it is, And so you have to start like
day one you asked what would we do different as
being the mayor, Well, first off, I would say that
this needs to be done right now. It doesn't just
need to be done after a November election. There's lives
on the line right now. They're doing things to try
to help. They've actually implemented lateral hiring and a bunch
(09:50):
of other things that they're trying to decrease the crime.
But I think the number one is that the police
officers have to feel like the city has their back. Yeah,
whether it be through whether it be through pres conference,
whether it be through social posts, whatever it is. They
have to know that the police officers are getting the
support and the backing from their city officials. And then
when it comes to their everyday jobs, you've got to
(10:11):
untie the hands of the police officers and you got
to let them do their job. And then from the
profts gear standpoint, you've got to put you've got to
put a very big encouragement on the profits cures and
say we have to have harsher sentences.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
We've got to be able to enforce these laws.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Because you can say, hey, we're implementing this policy, We're
implementing this, but there's no consequences to it. And so yeah,
on the surface, it looks like you're trying, but from
the background of it all, it's not doing any good
because people are just going through that revolving door again.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
All right, pause, We'll bring Corey back for some more
thoughts and ideas about the crime problem and other ideas
in the City of Cincinnati seven sixteen. Right now, an
opportunity for me to mention well, QC kinnets folks out
there experiencing pain, the arthritic pain, knee, hip, shoulder, and
you've done the cycles of steroid shots and you know
that goes away, and you're talking about surgery with your doctor,
(11:07):
and you know what that's going to be a lot
of downtime, physical therapy, no genuine answer to whether or
not it's going to actually help. That's a big leap
right there. Why not go for a second opinion. QC
Kinetics is offering a free consultation helping people well get
their lives back together without more medications, without without going
under the knife. They're the leader in regenerative medicine using
(11:28):
treatments like advanced cellular therapy and platelet rich plasma, using
your body's own natural healing properties to help your body
heal itself. Injected right there where that pain is. These
cellular level of treatments contain growth factors and healing properties
to maximize your body's ability to heal itself. Huge success rate.
Ninety two percent of patients report satisfaction with the results.
(11:50):
That's pretty significant. So it's truly working for folks just
like you. So are you a good candidate. Why not
take them up on the free consultation to find out
out Call QC Kinetics and talk to them. Five one

Speaker 1 (13:13):
If you have KCD talk station, Corey Bowman from ARIS Cincinnati.
Corey's on the line right now. You can go to
Corey Bowman dot com get your tickets for the event
next Monday, the fundraiser, uh and learn more about his policies,
platform and how to help him out. Oh look, the
big donate today click so donate to Corey's campaign. There
are choices to be made, and doing the same thing
(13:35):
over and over again certainly doesn't appear to be going
to be doing anything to better our so our situation
with the crime in downtown. You know, talking with Smith
Aman yesterday during the Smith event, Corey Uh, he I
think he hit the nail on the head, I asked,
I said, you know, Christopher, you live in one of
the fifty two neighborhoods in the city. You interact with
people in the various communities. I mean it's notably uh,
(13:55):
you know, like for example, the African American or black community.
He talks to folks, what do they really want insofar
as policing. Are they against policing in their neighborhood, Do
they think police are all terrible people? Or would they
prefer a big police presence? He said no, overwhelmingly, it's
the silent majority. They like the police, They want the police,
they want safer neighborhoods. And yet the council members, you'd
(14:16):
think they could tap into that phenomenon. If it's what
people want, then be a representative for any representative situation here,
which is what they're supposed to do, and tell people
that they've got their back, Tell people that we want
the police there. Tell people that we're hoping to approve
public safety with the greater police presence. All of that
might resonate really well with the citizens of the city
(14:37):
of Cincinnati who are struggling with the crime problem. As
it turns out, though, his suggestion was that it's this
is motivated out of the far left wing of the
Democrat Party, who are the defund the police. Rethink the
police folks, they are the loudest, squeakiest wheels in spite
of the fact that they don't represent a majority of
people who have to live around the crime, and yet
(15:00):
they show up to vote. You saw what ten percent
of the citizens of City Cincinnati showed up for the primary,
and you know it was probably a whole bunch of
these radical leftists that showed up in order to get votes.
I guess you have to appeal to that group because
you at least know they're going to show up at
the ballot box, unlike I guess the rest of the citizens.
What's your take on that? In Natty Field Corey, Well, what.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
I would say is that on it was actually last week,
I was walking through the West End and we were
doing a community outreach. This actually last month. We were
doing a community outreach where we were doing giveaways and
we were just providing stuff for the community, and I
talked with the family that was on the side of
the street. One of the mothers was there. She was
(15:45):
selling something at a table. Now I go up to
them and I'm not even promoting the campaign. I'm just
promoting this outreach that we're doing because we want to
be able to bless people. And as we're doing it,
the lady looks at me and says, you're the one
running for mayor right now. This is a family that
lives in a very low income area. And so there
(16:05):
was two moms and there was probably about about seven
kids overall, and one of them was a young gentleman.
He was about seventeen years old. And they were there
and they looked at me and they said, what are
you going to do for our community? I looked at him.
I said, well, what this community right needs right now
is they need the gun firing. They need the crime
to stop in this area. And they just nodded their
(16:27):
head like enthusiastic. They said, we don't want the crime
to be hitting our children and affecting us like what
it's been. And then I started talking to them about
when it came to having a hand up instead of
a handout, and we've got to be able to provide
jobs and programs that not just keep people in poverty,
but they got to be able to lift people up.
(16:48):
And we got to give young men like this. I
pointed to the gentleman right there. I said, we got
to give him an opportunity to not only live in
a neighborhood that isn't affected by this crime, but we
got to give him an opportunity who if he wants
to get married, have kids and get into how they
get into a job to where he's able to move
out of this situation. And they started balling their eyes
(17:10):
out and they said, you've got our vote. That's exactly
what our city needs. And I started going through the
practical processes of them too. But I talk with people NonStop,
especially in the West End, and the general consensus of
the community is they don't want this crime, they want
the police to be involved. They feel forgotten about. But
like what you said, the people that are the most
(17:31):
radicalized are the ones that are more active in these
voting situations. And we've got to change that. We not
only have to ignite the conservative base and the people
that we know agree with us, but we've got to
turn the hearts of the people in the communities around
to say, hey, we're for you. And I really believe
that we're going to have record turnouts for the vote
(17:52):
in November because of this, I hope.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
So when you got that coupled with the right to
choose your own destiny in any given neighborhood in terms
of development, I think that's a winner for you. Because
you're in favor of local decision making when it comes
to that, unlike the city foisting upon Hyde Park or
Bond Hill or any other neighborhood. It's vision of the
future and what can and cannot be developed. So a
(18:14):
lot of great talking points, a lot of great campaign
issues for you, Corey, and I can only you know,
hope and pray that people pay attention and realize you know,
you do have a choice. Why keep doing the same
thing over again. If you're unhappy with the current situation,
you know who is responsible for it, So change course,
Corey Bowman dot COM's Hey, help Corey out. Corey. Wish
(18:35):
you best luck on the fundraiser on Monday, and encourage
my listeners to participate in that. Whether or not they
live in the city. What happens in the city has
wide ranging, far reaching implications for everybody, even in the
entire Hamilton County area, but also northern Kentucky and the
surrounding county. So let's push him in the right direction
and help Corey out. Corey, You're always welcome on the
Morning show. And again, congratulations on the birth of your
(18:59):
new son, Ezra. That's beautiful thing man, Hey.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Thank you so much, and as always, Thank you for
having me. It's the privilege being on.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
It's a pleasure, man, I really get. I can get
some sense of optimism for the city when I talk
to you. So best of luck, brother, Coreybowman dot com

hot out there. Your ec is fighting an uphill battle
and it cannot win if you don't have insulation in
(19:27):
the exterior walls of your home, or if you're under insulated.
I would like to point out that was the case
with my daughter in late seventies. Build R twelve deteriorated.
It doesn't have even the insulated capacity of a brand
new R twelve. Add the phone made in Ohio, the
highest R value phone in the market, and it does
wonders to keep your house more comfortable. They've rarely run
(19:48):
their air conditioning since the phone went in the wall.
And it does save energy. So if you are using
your AC, you're gonna save money every month, so much
so that you may save more than the monthly cost
of the insulation, which is only ninety nine dollars a month,
interest free. It's a great opportunity to improve the health,
prove the comfort of your home, and save heap loads
