<v Speaker 3>Morning Show, coming off of what I understand was a

13
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:40.200
<v Speaker 3>pretty successful debate with Mayraf tab Purval and the other guy,

14
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:42.960
<v Speaker 3>Corey Bowman, running from mayor of the City of Cincinnati.

15
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back, my friends. Good to have you on the

16
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:45.200
<v Speaker 2>show this morning.

17
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:49.119
<v Speaker 1>Hello Brian our happy opening day.

18
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:51.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and you being the huge fan of the city

19
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:54.439
<v Speaker 3>of Cincinnati you are, I presume you are a Cincinnati

20
00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:56.159
<v Speaker 3>Reds fan. I think that kind of goes without saying,

21
00:00:56.240 --> 00:01:00.600
<v Speaker 3>right absolutely, And where are you going to be today,

22
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:01.439
<v Speaker 3>Corey Bowman?

23
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:05.400
<v Speaker 1>So obviously the parade is going on.

24
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:06.760
<v Speaker 2>I believe I'll probably be.

25
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.519
<v Speaker 1>I'll try to be around the Tountain Square area if

26
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:14.120
<v Speaker 1>I can get through the crowd and everything. That's the

27
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:15.959
<v Speaker 1>main place I'm going to be. And then me and

28
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:17.319
<v Speaker 1>my family are attending the game.

29
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:21.959
<v Speaker 3>Great, well, hell yeah, assuming you are identified, well, you're

30
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:24.120
<v Speaker 3>gonna have a Corey Bowman T shirt on or a

31
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:26.599
<v Speaker 3>big sign that says hi, I'm Corey Bowman and I'm

32
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:28.920
<v Speaker 3>running for mayor, or some way that people can identify

33
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:30.719
<v Speaker 3>you if they want to ask you a question or two.

34
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:34.439
<v Speaker 1>Corey, I'm going to have my Flip the Natty T

35
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:37.239
<v Speaker 1>shirt on. I think that goes pretty well with the

36
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:41.040
<v Speaker 1>reds coloring and everything as well. And then yeah, I'll

37
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:44.760
<v Speaker 1>probably have my ten on and hopefully people can hopefully

38
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:46.280
<v Speaker 1>the right people will recognize me.

39
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:47.159
<v Speaker 2>I hope so.

40
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:49.719
<v Speaker 3>And you can get in touch with Corey Bowman through

41
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:54.000
<v Speaker 3>his website Coreybowman dot com. There's his campaign pledges and

42
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:56.920
<v Speaker 3>what he hopes to accomplish, an opportunity to donate, maybe

43
00:01:56.920 --> 00:01:59.760
<v Speaker 3>get a yard sign, get some Corey Bowman T shirts

44
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:04.760
<v Speaker 3>and spread his name around. What did you think of

45
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:06.680
<v Speaker 3>the debate when you look back on and reflect on it,

46
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:08.960
<v Speaker 3>were you happy? Because you know Westside Jim was there.

47
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:10.840
<v Speaker 3>I know, Todd Zenzer was there. He just got done

48
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:12.960
<v Speaker 3>talking about it. He said it came off he came

49
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:13.680
<v Speaker 3>off pretty well.

50
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, that means a lot. You know. It was my

51
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:22.240
<v Speaker 1>first political debate outside of just family dinners, and so

52
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:26.639
<v Speaker 1>I felt really good about where we came across at

53
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:28.800
<v Speaker 1>the end of the night. You know, I don't want

54
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:31.159
<v Speaker 1>to say that I came in with low expectations, but

55
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:33.960
<v Speaker 1>I did. I just want to come through knowing that

56
00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:36.039
<v Speaker 1>we stood our ground and that we were able to

57
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:37.960
<v Speaker 1>go toe to toe with him, and I believe that's

58
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:41.199
<v Speaker 1>exactly what happened. I believe that there was a lot

59
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:43.719
<v Speaker 1>of valid points that we made, and we gave people

60
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:45.360
<v Speaker 1>the opportunity to see what we stand for.

61
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:46.599
<v Speaker 2>That's great.

62
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:52.159
<v Speaker 3>And understand from the reports, I got that Purval kind

63
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:56.319
<v Speaker 3>of ignoring the other candidate and really focusing his attention

64
00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:58.520
<v Speaker 3>more on you, And I think that sort of speaks

65
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:00.479
<v Speaker 3>volume for the likelihood that you were gonna win in

66
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:02.080
<v Speaker 3>the primary. It's going to be you head to head

67
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:04.000
<v Speaker 3>with with have to have pro ball.

68
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, with everything with the campaign, you know, whenever

69
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:11.240
<v Speaker 1>we got getting the signatures to get on the ballot,

70
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:13.639
<v Speaker 1>I try to stay as tunnel visioned as I can.

71
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:16.840
<v Speaker 1>And so we've gotten a lot of positive feedback about

72
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:19.560
<v Speaker 1>the primary. But I'm just telling people we have to

73
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:23.360
<v Speaker 1>get out and vote, you know, specifically, I'm calling on

74
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:26.439
<v Speaker 1>all the Republicans in Cincinnati that if you believe that

75
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:28.759
<v Speaker 1>we could be the one on the ticket, for you

76
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.520
<v Speaker 1>to get out April eighth through May six, as early

77
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:35.000
<v Speaker 1>voting starts, and let's get this thing solidified.

78
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:37.280
<v Speaker 3>Well, one of the things I just learned from Todd

79
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:40.240
<v Speaker 3>Zinzer is you may end up finding yourself having a

80
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:44.240
<v Speaker 3>pretty good support for my friends in Hyde Park. Quite often,

81
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:47.400
<v Speaker 3>you know, they're educated, they're very you know what. It's

82
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:50.919
<v Speaker 3>a typically you know, stereotypically wealthy community, but quite often

83
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:56.159
<v Speaker 3>lean blue and support Democrat candidates. But this whole project

84
00:03:56.199 --> 00:04:00.240
<v Speaker 3>that they are all against, this redevelopment project. They're any

85
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:03.360
<v Speaker 3>council voted against it. This idea that this huge developer

86
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:05.439
<v Speaker 3>is going to come in and build these big structures,

87
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:08.800
<v Speaker 3>which don't know, are completely inconsistent with the vibe and

88
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:12.960
<v Speaker 3>the architectural style of that historic community. But Cincinnati City

89
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.960
<v Speaker 3>Council looks likely to approve it, which means that Trump's

90
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:18.920
<v Speaker 3>what the Hyde Park voters want, so you might find

91
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:20.680
<v Speaker 3>yourself in some good company in Hyde Park.

92
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:22.959
<v Speaker 2>Corey.

93
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, I mean if you're going with the citizens

94
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:27.879
<v Speaker 1>and what they want to do, then in local government

95
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:31.319
<v Speaker 1>you should find yourself in good company. You know. Whenever

96
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:34.319
<v Speaker 1>all this development was first happening and we were researching it,

97
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:36.920
<v Speaker 1>that was a big thing we realized is that the

98
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:41.160
<v Speaker 1>opinions of the community councils were being completely ignored through

99
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:44.040
<v Speaker 1>the process. They said that they did some preliminary work

100
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:46.800
<v Speaker 1>to get the opinions of voters, but when it was

101
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:51.399
<v Speaker 1>about to be solidified, people made their voices loud and

102
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:53.560
<v Speaker 1>clear that they did not want this to happen in

103
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:56.759
<v Speaker 1>High Park. And those voices, it looks like they are

104
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:58.560
<v Speaker 1>just being ignored by the local government.

105
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:01.480
<v Speaker 3>Well, and that's something that you experienced in your own life.

106
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:03.519
<v Speaker 3>Last time you're on you told me about there were

107
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:07.800
<v Speaker 3>a lot of developers, small developers, not politically connected developers

108
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:10.839
<v Speaker 3>who wanted to put a lot of you know, investment

109
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:14.040
<v Speaker 3>and money into rehabilitating some of the houses in your neighborhood.

110
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:18.120
<v Speaker 3>That's roughly around Dayton Street, right, Corey, Yeah, it's.

111
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:21.720
<v Speaker 1>Around They called bay Miller Block Dayton Street really close

112
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:22.480
<v Speaker 1>to Lynn Street.

113
00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:27.240
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so real developers with real projects and real money

114
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.040
<v Speaker 3>that will help the community, because any investment is better

115
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:33.319
<v Speaker 3>than leaving something dormant and empty. And yet the City

116
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:35.800
<v Speaker 3>of Cincinnati throws the roadblocks up it because it isn't

117
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:41.519
<v Speaker 3>part of their connected Communities vision. I mean it that,

118
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:44.319
<v Speaker 3>I just I really quite often, Corey, you go back

119
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:48.680
<v Speaker 3>to what the what the citizens want, what the constituents want,

120
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:53.279
<v Speaker 3>versus what special interest group or moneyed developers want. And

121
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:55.759
<v Speaker 3>when the city defaults and goes with the money developers

122
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:58.160
<v Speaker 3>and these political action groups or these you know, non

123
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:05.839
<v Speaker 3>governmental you know, outraged, constantly organizations which running contrast to

124
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:08.079
<v Speaker 3>what the voters want. You know, you got a real

125
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:10.160
<v Speaker 3>potential on this one, in spite of the fact that

126
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:12.000
<v Speaker 3>you're a Republican running in a blue city. I think

127
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:14.040
<v Speaker 3>more and more people waking up to this kind of reality.

128
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:17.800
<v Speaker 3>It's the connected people. It's not what you stand for.

129
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:21.879
<v Speaker 3>It's not the specific values of Democrats or Republicans. It's

130
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:25.079
<v Speaker 3>what's good for the citizenry. And they're not delivering on

131
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:27.720
<v Speaker 3>what's good for the City of Cincinnati and the voters.

132
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.360
<v Speaker 1>You're exactly right, and to be honest with you, When

133
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:35.279
<v Speaker 1>I look at what we're standing for, I'm amazed because

134
00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:38.800
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I'm a nineteen seventy Democrat, you know,

135
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:41.959
<v Speaker 1>fighting the establishment of big times. Yeah, you know Gardmera

136
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:46.199
<v Speaker 1>or corporations. But yet I'm running on a Republican ticket

137
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:49.639
<v Speaker 1>and I'm just sitting here like, weren't Isn't this supposed

138
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:52.040
<v Speaker 1>to be the party that is for the common man,

139
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:55.199
<v Speaker 1>that's supposed to be fighting against this stuff. But the

140
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:58.399
<v Speaker 1>developers and the city officials, these ones, these are the

141
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:01.879
<v Speaker 1>ones that are kind of holding back. In my mind,

142
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:04.279
<v Speaker 1>what I think is one of the best things about

143
00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:07.680
<v Speaker 1>our city is the small businesses. The local developers might

144
00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:10.519
<v Speaker 1>be able to flip one or two properties at a time,

145
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:13.759
<v Speaker 1>they're really not getting the benefit out of any of this.

146
00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:15.360
<v Speaker 2>No they're not.

147
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:17.879
<v Speaker 3>And I think more people are waking up to that reality,

148
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:21.040
<v Speaker 3>which gives you a fighting chance. Corey and a city

149
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:23.839
<v Speaker 3>that you know, a Republican couldn't get elected in. I

150
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:27.800
<v Speaker 3>just see this opportunity, this possibility. Now after what's the

151
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:30.560
<v Speaker 3>same for the sake of discussion, you win the primary,

152
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:33.720
<v Speaker 3>it's just you and after that Purwall that's when the

153
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:35.879
<v Speaker 3>campaign kicks off. In Earnest I imagine you're gonna be

154
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:38.079
<v Speaker 3>hitting the ground in all of the neighborhoods in the city.

155
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:39.519
<v Speaker 2>That is that correct?

156
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean our strategy we have to mobilize and

157
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:48.560
<v Speaker 1>unify the Republican Party in our city because the last

158
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:52.480
<v Speaker 1>mayoral election only twenty six percent of voters showed up.

159
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:56.839
<v Speaker 1>So you've got seventy four seventy three percent of voters

160
00:07:56.839 --> 00:07:59.600
<v Speaker 1>that didn't even feel like they had a voice, that

161
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:01.560
<v Speaker 1>didn't need and feel like it mattered if they came

162
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:05.000
<v Speaker 1>out and vote. So for this primary, we're primarily focusing

163
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:08.600
<v Speaker 1>on the Republican Party or those that we know just

164
00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:11.439
<v Speaker 1>have felt like they haven't had a voice. And then

165
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:14.000
<v Speaker 1>after the primary, that's when we really kick it into

166
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:17.079
<v Speaker 1>gear because we've got to go to these communities and

167
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:19.040
<v Speaker 1>show them that were the right.

168
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:19.720
<v Speaker 2>People for the job.

169
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:23.199
<v Speaker 3>Well, and I understand the AFT have purvol pretty much

170
00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:26.600
<v Speaker 3>gave you an outline on your for your campaign, and

171
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:29.040
<v Speaker 3>his opening statement at the debate, he went through all

172
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:32.480
<v Speaker 3>of what he thought were his accomplishments, many of which

173
00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:36.279
<v Speaker 3>I can't I don't think you can call an accomplishment Corey.

174
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:40.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, you know, when it comes to statistics

175
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:42.960
<v Speaker 1>and everything, I mean you read some of the articles

176
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:44.960
<v Speaker 1>about the debate and they said that it wasn't in

177
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:47.840
<v Speaker 1>our favor, and then people that were in person they

178
00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:50.399
<v Speaker 1>say it was in our favor. So I think that

179
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:53.600
<v Speaker 1>whatever your perspective is, you really got to go to

180
00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:56.519
<v Speaker 1>the facts and the statistics. And I think one of

181
00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:00.519
<v Speaker 1>the biggest things that was said was that t has

182
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:03.960
<v Speaker 1>been low, that crime over the last four years is low,

183
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:07.759
<v Speaker 1>and really that's not the case. There's a few examples

184
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:13.039
<v Speaker 1>of very small incremental decrease when it comes to homicides

185
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:16.240
<v Speaker 1>and shooting, but overall, when you look at the statistics,

186
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:22.480
<v Speaker 1>you're looking at aggravated assault is actually up eight percent,

187
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:25.960
<v Speaker 1>I believe, and then you're looking at auto thefts up

188
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:29.120
<v Speaker 1>forty percent, and then you're looking at that, and then

189
00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:32.960
<v Speaker 1>you're looking at robbery that's up nineteen percent. And overall

190
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:36.600
<v Speaker 1>the crime statistics this is talking about from twenty twenty two,

191
00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:40.279
<v Speaker 1>first year he took office, to twenty twenty four, overall

192
00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:43.879
<v Speaker 1>the crime reporting is up two point six percent. And

193
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:47.879
<v Speaker 1>so if you just focus or cherry pick certain statistics,

194
00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:50.840
<v Speaker 1>you can say whatever you want about what's being accomplished.

195
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:53.879
<v Speaker 1>But if you're in the downtown area, you realize this

196
00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:54.679
<v Speaker 1>isn't the case.

197
00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:00.840
<v Speaker 3>Well, yeah, I like to think of these quote unute,

198
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:03.799
<v Speaker 3>uninformed voter, the one that really doesn't pay attention to politics.

199
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:06.879
<v Speaker 3>But if he hears the mayor suggests that crime is down,

200
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:10.320
<v Speaker 3>and he or she lives in a crime laden neighborhood,

201
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:12.080
<v Speaker 3>they're not going to buy that.

202
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:12.720
<v Speaker 2>You know.

203
00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:15.799
<v Speaker 3>It's like, don't tell me crime is down. You don't

204
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:17.759
<v Speaker 3>live where I do. Apparently I could tell you all

205
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:19.200
<v Speaker 3>day long how bad crime is.

206
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:24.559
<v Speaker 1>No exactly, And you know, voters that are in these areas.

207
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:27.159
<v Speaker 1>It used to be that you could just concentrate all

208
00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:30.159
<v Speaker 1>these failed policies into an area like the West End,

209
00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:33.320
<v Speaker 1>and you can just always, you know, count on their

210
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:35.679
<v Speaker 1>vote no matter what, because you just think that they're

211
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:39.080
<v Speaker 1>ignorant to it. But all of these failed policies now

212
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:42.080
<v Speaker 1>are bleeding into all these other communities and people are

213
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:44.399
<v Speaker 1>starting to wake up all around the district.

214
00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:48.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well, Corey, you know Corey Bowman dot com. I

215
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:51.000
<v Speaker 3>encourage my listeners, most notably in the greater Cincinnati area.

216
00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:53.080
<v Speaker 3>You can help him out even if you don't live

217
00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:56.320
<v Speaker 3>in downtown Cincinnati. What happens and goes on in the

218
00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:59.039
<v Speaker 3>city of Cincinnati. The decisions are made by city council

219
00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:02.440
<v Speaker 3>and the mayor have a broad impact that transcends the

220
00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:05.639
<v Speaker 3>boundaries of the city limits. So it's good for all

221
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:08.200
<v Speaker 3>of us. If the city conditions improve, more people would

222
00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:12.159
<v Speaker 3>likely to consider the area generally speaking, including in Hamilton

223
00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:15.320
<v Speaker 3>County the surrounding counties. If we have a stable, vibrant

224
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:19.240
<v Speaker 3>downtown Cincinnati, it's important for everybody. So with that in mind,

225
00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:22.159
<v Speaker 3>get involved, get engaged, help Corey out, and maybe we

226
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:24.240
<v Speaker 3>can have a change in this in this community for

227
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:26.120
<v Speaker 3>the better. I know you're passionate about the city you

228
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:28.399
<v Speaker 3>love so much, Corey. It's why you're doing this and

229
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:32.759
<v Speaker 3>why you're running. And I don't know Aftab. I think

230
00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:35.600
<v Speaker 3>he just enjoys being a politician more than he is

231
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:37.639
<v Speaker 3>passionate about the Cincinnati area.

232
00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'd like to think that people get into public

233
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:45.759
<v Speaker 1>service to help people, and that's ultimately what we're in

234
00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:48.000
<v Speaker 1>this to do. And so I tell people is if

235
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:50.320
<v Speaker 1>you're voting for me, you're not going for somebody that

236
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:54.120
<v Speaker 1>moved to Cincinnati to get into politics. Move to Cincinnati

237
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:57.240
<v Speaker 1>in the downtown area because it's from here. He loves

238
00:11:57.240 --> 00:11:59.919
<v Speaker 1>the city and he wants to see the best sports citizens.

239
00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:02.519
<v Speaker 3>There you are, Corey Bowman dot com is how you

240
00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:04.039
<v Speaker 3>help him out? Corey, we'll have you back on the

241
00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:05.840
<v Speaker 3>morning show soon. I will show all the best on

242
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:08.320
<v Speaker 3>the campaign trail as we head on into the primaries.

243
00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:10.159
<v Speaker 2>Hey, and enjoy Opening Day.

244
00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:12.360
<v Speaker 3>It's just what's a wonderful tradition we have here in

245
00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:13.639
<v Speaker 3>the city and one of the things that makes the

246
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:16.120
<v Speaker 3>city so great. And we'll keep our fingers crossed for

247
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:17.399
<v Speaker 3>a victory for the Reds today.

248
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:21.120
<v Speaker 1>No, absolutely. I told my son, my five year old son,

249
00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:22.960
<v Speaker 1>last night. I surprised him. I told him we were

250
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:24.879
<v Speaker 1>going to the game, and I think that was a

251
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:27.679
<v Speaker 1>mistake because I don't think he slept the next three hours.

252
00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:30.200
<v Speaker 2>It's his first game.

253
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:34.039
<v Speaker 1>It's his first Opening Day game. We make a point

254
00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:36.120
<v Speaker 1>to go to at least three to four games a year,

255
00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:38.919
<v Speaker 1>but he's always wanted to go to Opening Day because

256
00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:41.279
<v Speaker 1>he sees all the pictures of everything. So we're all

257
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:41.960
<v Speaker 1>very excited.

258
00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:43.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's cool.

259
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:45.000
<v Speaker 3>And if you want to talk to Corey Bowman, find

260
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:48.200
