Speaker 1: It's seven oh six here, pick five pair CD talk station,
Speaker 1: fine time. I was wishing every one of very very
Speaker 1: happy Fridays. We head into a three day Memorial Day weekend.
Speaker 1: I'm sure I hope everybody's going to be remembering those
Speaker 1: who paid the ultimate sacrifice in service of their country
Speaker 1: on Memorial Day and some of the events going on
Speaker 1: over the weekend, some of which we're going to learn
Speaker 1: about later in the program. In the meantime, it is
Speaker 1: always a pleasure to have guests in the studio, and
Speaker 1: it's always a pleasure to have Corey Bowman here. Corey,
Speaker 1: of course, won the primary. He is the Republican candidate
Speaker 1: for mayor of the City of Cincinnati. We all recognize
Speaker 1: an uphill challenge, but I think one the Coreys up
Speaker 1: to Corey. Good to see you again, Man.
Speaker 2: Great to see you, Brian. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: Happy to do it before we get to you know,
Speaker 1: campaigns and politics and priorities.
Speaker 2: Three weeks to go, three weeks to go. My wife
Speaker 2: is due with our fourth child, so that is so awesome.
Speaker 2: I'm very excited for that. I am so happy for you.
Speaker 2: Did you find out ahead of time it's gonna be
Speaker 2: a boy or girl. It's gonna be a boy.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Boy.
Speaker 2: So we have two boys and a girl and they're
Speaker 2: all about two years apart, and then this one we
Speaker 2: found out was a boy, and I'm excited for that.
Speaker 2: I get to rough house with them, and then I
Speaker 2: have my princess toil to spoil.
Speaker 1: Continuous amen to that brother. Nothing like having a baby girl.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: I was kind of worried about that because, you know,
Speaker 1: being a dad, and you know, I remember what it
Speaker 1: was like when I was a young man, and you
Speaker 1: always have these concerns. But man, it is just so
Speaker 1: awesome having a daughter. Just loved every single minute. Not
Speaker 1: the discount that I the love I have for my son,
Speaker 1: but it's just a huge difference between the two there
Speaker 1: really is. Why.
Speaker 2: I just see it that the sons are the extra
Speaker 2: protection that I need to ward off. Yeah, any boys
Speaker 2: in the future, absolutely.
Speaker 1: And without my son and my night daughter are the
Speaker 1: absolute best friends. Yeah. I just love that because my
Speaker 1: sister and I, yeah we get along now, we're friends now,
Speaker 1: but growing up it's like vinegar and oil and water. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well that yeah, that was funny. So I have a
Speaker 2: sister that's sixteen months apart from me and growing up
Speaker 2: there was always like that back and forth of possible fighting.
Speaker 2: But then as we got older, we still like mess
Speaker 2: around with each other. But I think that we've been
Speaker 2: closer than ever as we started having kids of our own.
Speaker 1: Oh that's great, that's great. Yeah, we were three years apart,
Speaker 1: and I think that extra year is what really kind
Speaker 1: of made that. Yeah, she didn't want me around, Get
Speaker 1: out of my room, leave me alone. It was a
Speaker 1: lot of that anyway, Pivoting over, of course, you did
Speaker 1: win the primary. We're all very happy about that. Corey
Speaker 1: Bowman blwm A and Coreybowman dot com where you can
Speaker 1: donate and help out. And this is the point in
Speaker 1: time in the race where you really have to start
Speaker 1: buckling down on fundraising and putting signs in yards and
Speaker 1: shoring up support. Where are you in so in terms
Speaker 1: of the campaign, because you know, I know very little
Speaker 1: about campaign strategy. So you're getting at least getting some
Speaker 1: help from the Hamilton kint of Republican Party.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're getting the right amount of people that are
Speaker 2: coming out and support and to give us the right advice.
Speaker 2: I actually just had a meeting yesterday with brad Winstrip
Speaker 2: Oh good, he was the last one to actually run
Speaker 2: from mayor as a Republican. A lot of great insight there.
Speaker 2: An amazing man, amazing public servant as well as Yeah, unity,
Speaker 2: So you know, I'm my goal is to listen to
Speaker 2: those that have you know, been in maybe similar waters,
Speaker 2: or people that actually know what they're doing, and to
Speaker 2: just say, hey, what's going to be the best way
Speaker 2: to move forward with this? And then also to learn
Speaker 2: about the position as well. What I found out is
Speaker 2: that a lot of people become expert campaigners, but they're
Speaker 2: not experts in the job that they're applying for.
Speaker 1: Listen, you know, I've been thinking about that a lot,
Speaker 1: you know, specifically with regard to you. What I started
Speaker 1: hearing about, like from Todd Zen's or Citizen Watchdog, about
Speaker 1: everything that goes on behind the scenes in the Bear's office.
Speaker 1: It's like it's there's a lot more there than I
Speaker 1: think people even fully appreciate.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Todd's been an excellent resource for us. He's been
Speaker 2: incredible help with us as well as just showing the
Speaker 2: back and forth of the legislature and the things that
Speaker 2: go on behind the scenes there.
Speaker 1: Good. I'm glad you got these resources and props to
Speaker 1: Todd and Brand and others that are giving you a
Speaker 1: hand on that. You know, others have made mistakes and
Speaker 1: you can learn from their mistakes and not go down
Speaker 1: that road.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that. You know, one of the things
Speaker 2: that some current people in office will say is that, oh,
Speaker 2: he doesn't really know what he's done, he doesn't have
Speaker 2: the experience. Well, when I look behind the scenes and
Speaker 2: I see what the experienced people quote unquote have to
Speaker 2: say about it, I'm like, well, maybe it's good to
Speaker 2: not have experience to start out with and to actually
Speaker 2: learn from this and learn how to do it ethically
Speaker 2: and morally.
Speaker 1: Well how about that? Yeah, ethically and morally. You don't
Speaker 1: hear that from a politician very often. Well, then they'll
Speaker 1: say the words, but then they won't you know, walk
Speaker 1: the walk though. They will talk to talk, So well,
Speaker 1: we could we could use a healthy dose of that
Speaker 1: in since the city politics, your reaction on the I
Speaker 1: guess the Hyde Park signatures they've sound likely accumulated enough
Speaker 1: for the save high Parks where campaign We're gonna hear
Speaker 1: from Johnson's or who's behind that effort. At the end
Speaker 1: of the program at eight forty five, he'll be joining
Speaker 1: the show to talk about the signature efforts. But step
Speaker 1: in the right direction from your perspective.
Speaker 2: No, I definitely believe that because the people of Hyde Park,
Speaker 2: I mean congratulations to them for actually this is a
Speaker 2: massive feat.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: I had two and a half weeks to get five
Speaker 2: hundred signatures, and we were trying to book it to
Speaker 2: try to get that on the ballot at two and
Speaker 2: a half months to get people to show up for
Speaker 2: an election that not many people knew about. But in
Speaker 2: just a short amount of time, this army in Hyde
Speaker 2: Park has basically gotten I believe that they're going to
Speaker 2: reach their goal of close to fifteen thousand signatures to
Speaker 2: get on the ballot.
Speaker 1: I believe there's ninety one or something like that. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so they're smart. Yeah, yeah, they have the buffer.
Speaker 2: They still have to verify it, but it's looking like
Speaker 2: they're going in the right direction. Congratulations to them. We've
Speaker 2: tried to share their stuff as much as we can
Speaker 2: and get the word out for people to sign that signature,
Speaker 2: because what the people in Hyde Park say time and
Speaker 2: time again is that they're not against development, they're against
Speaker 2: how it went about overstepping the boundaries of the community involvement.
Speaker 1: Well, and you know, again, props to Todzen's are for
Speaker 1: posting the graphics on that monstrosity that they're planning. When
Speaker 1: you look at a relative to the existing Hyde Park Square,
Speaker 1: it just it looks terrible. And you know, the residents
Speaker 1: of Hyde Park they like what they've got. Again, they're
Speaker 1: all in favor of some kind of development, but development's
Speaker 1: consistent with the square itself. It's a very unique space,
Speaker 1: and I think it's one of the reasons that people
Speaker 1: in Hyde Park are so proud of where they live.
Speaker 2: Well, I think what this is turning into, and I
Speaker 2: would say this initially as well, is that if anybody
Speaker 2: is questioning, why am I needing to vote on something
Speaker 2: with Hyde Park, I'm not in Hyde Park. I don't
Speaker 2: really care about that at all. This is a city
Speaker 2: wide issue because this is a statement to the city
Speaker 2: officials that council seven to two voted against an entire
Speaker 2: community's opposition against the development, and that was supported by
Speaker 2: the current mayor himself as well. So this is a
Speaker 2: statement that hey, if we elect you an office and
Speaker 2: you fail to listen to our voices, then we're going
Speaker 2: to vote you out of office.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is completely a holy contrary to the concept
Speaker 1: of representative government.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, what I really is what I said in
Speaker 2: my statement because I was at the town hall. I
Speaker 2: was at the meeting where the council voted initially on
Speaker 2: the committee actually voted on initially, and I just stated
Speaker 2: that a vote casted for you to be in public
Speaker 2: office is not just a blank check for you to
Speaker 2: do whatever you want, right, It's a vote and trust
Speaker 2: that you're going to continuously listen to our voices as
Speaker 2: you are in office. And that is not what has
Speaker 2: happened with Mayor Aftab. That is not what has happened
Speaker 2: with all the council members that voted for this, and
Speaker 2: you're seeing the repercussions of that through this ballot initiative
Speaker 2: with the Hyde Parks where.
Speaker 1: Well, and obviously as a candidate running for mayor, you
Speaker 1: recognize the opportunity that you have to gather and gain
Speaker 1: some votes by supporting the residence of High Park in
Speaker 1: their effort. I mean, if I'm at Hyde Park, frankly,
Speaker 1: and I'll use the words, I would be really really
Speaker 1: pissed off, which I think as evidenced by the number
Speaker 1: of signatures they've gathered in a short period of time,
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty safe to say they probably are.
Speaker 2: Well, this is why I tell people is that whenever
Speaker 2: this issue first came on, you know, because this is
Speaker 2: my first introduction into politics, and this is, you know,
Speaker 2: something that we are stepping into because we care deeply
Speaker 2: for this city. And so I've had certain you know,
Speaker 2: advantage points or certain perspectives from being in the West End,
Speaker 2: and then I've looked at other communities and what's happened
Speaker 2: with them as well. One of the biggest things I've
Speaker 2: seen is development or improper use of development, and a
Speaker 2: lot of that has to do with kind of the
Speaker 2: hand of the city kind of directing everything toward wherever
Speaker 2: they wanted to. We see it in College Hill, we
Speaker 2: see it in Bond Hill. Yeah, So what I tell
Speaker 2: people is that they just happen to mess with the
Speaker 2: wrong people that actually have the funds and the resources
Speaker 2: and the grit to be able to fight this. And
Speaker 2: so I think that this is going to be a
Speaker 2: statement that the entire city can stand up against this
Speaker 2: and we can actually have a voice in this.
Speaker 1: Well, maybe we can get some ballot initiatives to get
Speaker 1: rid of connected Communities, which was the original insult to
Speaker 1: every neighborhood in the city of Cincinnati.
Speaker 2: Well that I mean, you know, not to get too
Speaker 2: deep into it, but that was the thing is that
Speaker 2: they overstepped their boundaries even with the Connected Communities initiative,
Speaker 2: and that's what is allowing them to put this on
Speaker 2: the ballot. Is that there's this book that you know,
Speaker 2: my mom had grown up that she read us. It says,
Speaker 2: if you give a mouse a cookie, they're going to
Speaker 2: want a glass of milk. And that's exactly what's happened,
Speaker 2: is that they already passed the Connected Communities under an
Speaker 2: emergency initiative so that nobody can question it. But then
Speaker 2: they actually overstep their boundaries even further and ask for
Speaker 2: a rezoning.
Speaker 1: A waiver of connected community zoning requirements to do.
Speaker 2: So they're wanting more, and so that's when the cone
Speaker 2: the community, the actual community, not the connected developer community,
Speaker 2: but the actual community. He stood up and said, no,
Speaker 2: if you're willing to go past what you already passed
Speaker 2: by policy, then you're just going to keep on doing
Speaker 2: this and you're going to ignore our opinion.
Speaker 1: Amen to that more with Corey Bowman again Coreybowman dot

Speaker 1: apparently Westside Jim Keeper was upset that he hasn't heard
Speaker 1: his name yet, So there you go. You just heard it.
Speaker 1: Beyond that, Corey I mentioned Hyde Park as an opportunity
Speaker 1: because of what the city council and the mayor did
Speaker 1: to them, and obviously that the petition to drive the
Speaker 1: signatures have been gathered. Obviously a groundswell of energy directed
Speaker 1: toward their displeasure with the city Council and its actions
Speaker 1: related to zoning. I get that. I pointed that and
Speaker 1: said that seems to be an opportunity for you because
Speaker 1: you are a refreshing alternative to this dictatorial nature that
Speaker 1: the city council currently has, as illustrated by the zoning change.
Speaker 1: But you mentioned being over a high park for a
Speaker 1: meeting and that you know, well, we like what you say,
Speaker 1: we like what you are standing for, but we hate
Speaker 1: your brother. JD. Vans happens to be your brother, half brother.
Speaker 1: I find that to be a preposterous thing. If you
Speaker 1: have been mistreated by the politicians you elected, if they
Speaker 1: have not followed your will, if they have not represented
Speaker 1: your interests as clearly articulated ahead of that vote. They
Speaker 1: knew damn well where the citizens of Hyde Park were
Speaker 1: on that zoning, yet they ignored them. Then why not
Speaker 1: go a different direction? I met state the obvious here.
Speaker 1: You're not JD. Vance. No.
Speaker 2: What I tell people is that when we got into
Speaker 2: this race, you know, the story that has gone, you know,
Speaker 2: around is that I was inspired by the inauguration and
Speaker 2: that I came back and then we pulled petitions to
Speaker 2: run for mayor. The ultimate reason why we are running
Speaker 2: is because we love this city and we have had
Speaker 2: a front row seat to the policies that have failed
Speaker 2: the communities in this city.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you live in the West End and you've
Speaker 1: seen it happen in your neighborhood.
Speaker 2: We've seen in the West End, We've seen it in
Speaker 2: College Hill, We've seen it on the East Side, on
Speaker 2: the West Side, every aspect of the city. You're seeing
Speaker 2: failed policies. And so when I see that and I
Speaker 2: see that, hey, if nobody else will step into it,
Speaker 2: then I will because and I'm going to do everything
Speaker 2: I can over this year to convince people that I'm
Speaker 2: the right candidate, because I truly believe I am. But
Speaker 2: when we're running this campaign, we're not here to copy
Speaker 2: and paste national politics. We are here to run for
Speaker 2: this city. There are things that are going going on
Speaker 2: with our infrastructure, with our crime, with certain policies, with
Speaker 2: the developments like what we're talking about with Hyde Park,
Speaker 2: And I believe that people have a choice. They deserve
Speaker 2: a choice for somebody that's going to stand up for them,
Speaker 2: and that's what we're running on.
Speaker 1: Well, and how many years in a row, and we
Speaker 1: could probably go back decades, we keep hearing about these
Speaker 1: quote unquote underserved communities, neglected communities. We need a program
Speaker 1: d da da da da dah. And if you're out
Speaker 1: in one of these underserved communities, or you perceive your
Speaker 1: personal your neighborhood, your area of the city of Cincinnati
Speaker 1: as being underserved or overlooked or neglected, why would you
Speaker 1: continue to do the same thing over and over again.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like the definition of stupidity, doing the
Speaker 1: same thing over and over again, expecting a different result.
Speaker 1: Go a different path. You know you're not going to
Speaker 1: be eternally damned by voting for a Republican who is
Speaker 1: interested in helping out your neighborhood.
Speaker 2: Well, this is what our run to November is about.
Speaker 2: I'm not entitled to anybody's vote, and then if somebody
Speaker 2: would cast a vote from me, I'm extremely grateful for that.
Speaker 2: First off, i want to say thank you to everybody
Speaker 2: that did vote for us in the primary, because that
Speaker 2: was them make a statement that they want us to
Speaker 2: run in this office. And I'm extremely grateful for that.
Speaker 2: But just being on the opposite side of it, or
Speaker 2: being the next person on the ballot doesn't necessarily guarantee
Speaker 2: you a vote So what I'm telling people is that
Speaker 2: from now until November, we are running as hard as
Speaker 2: we can to convince people that we are educated on
Speaker 2: these policies, we are educated on the legislative process of it,
Speaker 2: and we are going to be the best candidate to
Speaker 2: vote for in November.

Speaker 1: to you, Brian Thomas say with Corey Bowman in studio
Speaker 1: online Coreybowman dot com. Hoping to be the next mayor
Speaker 1: of the City of Cincinnati. We've got a chance for change,
Speaker 1: an opportunity to turn things around in the city, and
Speaker 1: opportunity for folks out in those neglected communities uh to
Speaker 1: maybe have a voice and maybe get some things changed
Speaker 1: in their neighborhoods. And I know one of the things
Speaker 1: that it has been an inherited thing. Current city council
Speaker 1: has inherited a problem that has been building over years
Speaker 1: and years, the state of infrastructure in the city of Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: I know they're touting they got one thousand things done.
Speaker 1: It was an article and I believe was the Quire
Speaker 1: today is in my stack of local stories. But I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: if you drive around the city, it just does not
Speaker 1: seem to be that way. Your your comments on that
Speaker 1: you have some some plans in terms of infrastructure and
Speaker 1: allocating the railroad money that's coming in now.
Speaker 2: Well, what you said at the beginning of the statement
Speaker 2: was that they say that we inherited a bad infrastructure.
Speaker 2: But who do you think you inherit it from?
Speaker 1: Ah comment, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Exactly who's been in power for the last over fifty years.
Speaker 2: And these are policies that, like you said, have snowballed
Speaker 2: and that have just basically compounded where now you see
Speaker 2: the results of that in our roads, in our infrastructure.
Speaker 2: And honestly, a big thing on my heart is that
Speaker 2: we don't have the capacity to take on these events
Speaker 2: that Cincinnatians want to have, whether it be with sporting
Speaker 2: events or concerts or festivals or conferences, and we don't
Speaker 2: have the capacity to be able to take it on
Speaker 2: because we've just neglected our infrastructure for so long.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it's it's a valid point. You got to
Speaker 1: have the me Well, and I can go back to
Speaker 1: that whole broken windows concept. You know, it's a well
Speaker 1: documented reality that if you if you just clean the
Speaker 1: place up, you create a perception of a welcome environment
Speaker 1: and that invites people to be interested in any given
Speaker 1: neighborhood within the city. And if your infrastructure is crumbling,
Speaker 1: or you've got problems with your sewage or you I mean,
Speaker 1: we could go on and on about the different areas
Speaker 1: that have been neglected, but you're not going to get
Speaker 1: that investment you're logging for.
Speaker 2: Well, we had to debate and the one of the
Speaker 2: questions they asked us, or one of the questions that
Speaker 2: were a hot topic when we first started the campaign
Speaker 2: as well as well, what do you think about, you know,
Speaker 2: putting whether it be a subway system in our empty
Speaker 2: tunnels under the street. And what I'm telling people is
Speaker 2: how in the world. Do you expect us to manage
Speaker 2: a subway underneath the roads when we can't even manage
Speaker 2: manage the roads that are above the surface. Yeah, we
Speaker 2: have to start with the foundation. Yes, we deserve as
Speaker 2: a city to dream about projects in the future that
Speaker 2: are going to benefit our city, that are going to
Speaker 2: grow our city and help our city. But the foundation
Speaker 2: that we're building on is not sustainable. We have to
Speaker 2: be able to be able to manage our roads properly,
Speaker 2: fill the potholes, just think common sense. That's what we
Speaker 2: have to do. And when you see the things like
Speaker 2: the speed bumps that are going along on all the
Speaker 2: roads in our city, these are band aids to really
Speaker 2: root issues of things that we're not addressing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't get don't mention the speed humps because just
Speaker 1: Trekker is going to have an aneurysm and there the
Speaker 1: Coraine Avenue speed bumps have really got him down. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I suppose the speed bumps are a consequence of a
Speaker 1: broader societal problem where people just can't pay attention to
Speaker 1: the damn speed limit and go sail them through a
Speaker 1: twenty five mile an hour for zones. The zones are
Speaker 1: like fifty plus mile in an hour. Also lack of patrolling.
Speaker 1: They're not putting the priorities on the patrolling and they're
Speaker 1: not giving the officers the tools to be able to
Speaker 1: manage these streets properly well. And speaking of police, obviously,
Speaker 1: we have had a difficult time recruiting. We're short on
Speaker 1: numbers and a lot of additional overtime hours. My understanding
Speaker 1: is morale is down in the police department. Thoughts and
Speaker 1: comments on the status of law enforcement in the city.
Speaker 2: I would say that if you treat if you treat
Speaker 2: an officer, or if you treat the police department as
Speaker 2: a whole, as just the bad guy, or this is
Speaker 2: the last effort, or that this is the last option
Speaker 2: when we address issues in the city, They're always going
Speaker 2: to be seen as the bad guys. They're always going
Speaker 2: to be seen as that, and the morale is going
Speaker 2: to be low. We need to enforce better community involvement,
Speaker 2: and that starts from the top. That starts from the
Speaker 2: policies that we put in place, whether it be with
Speaker 2: non pursuit laws or things that are tying the hands
Speaker 2: of these officers. We're not allowing them to do their jobs.
Speaker 2: You know, in our coffee shop. We have a lot
Speaker 2: of officers that come in the area where one of
Speaker 2: the only businesses in the area, so they stop in
Speaker 2: to whether be go the restroom, whatever, And we have
Speaker 2: a lot of conversations. And what I hear from these
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Police Department officers is that they have such a
Speaker 2: heart for this city. They want to protect and serve,
Speaker 2: They want to be involved in the community. They want
Speaker 2: to be seen as the help for the city, not
Speaker 2: as just the bad guys. And I think that that
Speaker 2: is what is being portrayed from the top down well.
Speaker 1: And and I would just say the silence from council
Speaker 1: members and the mayor about the police department and support
Speaker 1: of the police department, their silence is deafening. They say nothing. Now,
Speaker 1: It's one thing go out and talk about defunding the
Speaker 1: police or saying that the police are inherently racist or
Speaker 1: evil as an institution and we need but it's another
Speaker 1: thing to go out and actually support them and say
Speaker 1: out loud communities, you need to work with police. We
Speaker 1: know you appreciate law enforcement in your neighborhood, and they're
Speaker 1: good people. They want to help you. That's why they
Speaker 1: signed up for the job. They love the neighborhood, they
Speaker 1: love the community, they love the city of Cincinnati. Who
Speaker 1: else would sign up for a job like that if
Speaker 1: you really didn't want to protect and serve. And serve
Speaker 1: is a really operative word in there. Yeah, So be positive,
Speaker 1: speak out loud in support of the police, and I
Speaker 1: think that would go a long way to maybe get
Speaker 1: more people within these various communities to work cooperatively with
Speaker 1: law enforcement for the betterment of their community.
Speaker 2: Well also from a policy standpoint too, I mean, one
Speaker 2: of the biggest things is going to be the call
Speaker 2: center a call center, and the way that it's run
Speaker 2: right now is that the emergency call center is that basically,
Speaker 2: whenever they get calls, it's up to them. It's run
Speaker 2: by the city, and it's up to them whether they
Speaker 2: want to dispatch, whether it be CPD or three one
Speaker 2: one or ARC. And I'm telling you that these policies
Speaker 2: and these measures that are happening in the call center
Speaker 2: right now, that's demoralizing to the police officers as well,
Speaker 2: because in a lot of situations where a police officer
Speaker 2: should actually be sent in because not only is it
Speaker 2: a chance to protect and serve, but it's a chance
Speaker 2: to be a part of the community. They're not sent
Speaker 2: in there. Only an ARC or three to one one
Speaker 2: is sent in there, and that reduces the morale of
Speaker 2: the officers as.
Speaker 1: Well well, and it also eats up resources that should
Speaker 1: be going to this insane police department. Absolutely, yeah, I
Speaker 1: get rid of both of those things are one. Anyhow,
Speaker 1: they came as a consequence of the whole defund the
Speaker 1: police environment too. Yes, that's where those came from. So
Speaker 1: basically political operatives going out there and responding to nine
Speaker 1: to one one calls, which I think is wrong. Callry
