00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:33.920
<v Speaker 2>City of Cincinnati under the r Corey Bowman. Good to

<v Speaker 2>Brian Corey Bowman dot com. Check him out, help him out,

33
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:42.599
<v Speaker 2>get a sign, get us shirt, make a donation. It

34
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.480
<v Speaker 2>will be so wonderful having a change in political affiliation

35
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:49.280
<v Speaker 2>in the Mayor's office. Of course, he's going to be running.

36
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:51.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure. I'm certain Corey's going to win the primary

37
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:56.680
<v Speaker 2>and off to the races against our current administration. It's

38
00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:59.200
<v Speaker 2>been forty plus years since we've had a Republican and

39
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:01.760
<v Speaker 2>I think Corey, over the weeks I've gotten to known

40
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:03.400
<v Speaker 2>you in the many times you've been on the program

41
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:05.920
<v Speaker 2>that get some good ideas for the city of Cincinnati.

42
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:08.560
<v Speaker 2>But before we get to some of that, and to

43
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:11.360
<v Speaker 2>talk about the event that's coming up, how is lunch

44
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:15.719
<v Speaker 2>with Christopher Smitheman, that was a great lunch.

45
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:17.919
<v Speaker 5>Actually, it was actually my first time in Jim and

46
00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:20.719
<v Speaker 5>Jacks and got to me a ton of amazing people

47
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:23.960
<v Speaker 5>and talk to the owners. We're actually excited to probably

48
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:25.840
<v Speaker 5>do an event there pretty.

49
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:26.280
<v Speaker 4>Soon as well.

50
00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:28.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they're great people. I'm actually going to be at

51
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:32.879
<v Speaker 2>Jim and Jackson dining with Christopher today. We promised to

52
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:36.599
<v Speaker 2>sit over a beer and talk some politics. So I'm

53
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:38.319
<v Speaker 2>looking forward to seeing the guys at Jim and Jackson.

54
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:42.080
<v Speaker 2>They're just super people. I think Christopher's got an office there, Corey,

55
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:43.719
<v Speaker 2>he spends so much time there. I don't know if

56
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:46.000
<v Speaker 2>he's got a cot in the back or what the

57
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:46.639
<v Speaker 2>story is.

58
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:48.000
<v Speaker 4>Oh, I know, I know.

59
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:51.080
<v Speaker 5>He was introducing me to even the homeless people out

60
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:51.840
<v Speaker 5>on the streets. Man.

61
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:53.360
<v Speaker 4>He just knows everybody there.

62
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:56.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he does, he does. That's funny. Anniehow you've got

63
00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:59.199
<v Speaker 2>an early voting event coming up? If I recall correctly,

64
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:01.240
<v Speaker 2>Pryce Lill Chilly next Tuesday, five pm.

65
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:01.960
<v Speaker 1>But I got that right.

66
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:05.960
<v Speaker 5>Yes, that's our early voting kickoff. You know, you said

67
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:08.280
<v Speaker 5>that you're fairly certain that will win the primary, but

68
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:09.680
<v Speaker 5>you know, nothing's certain.

69
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:11.319
<v Speaker 4>We have to get people out to vote.

70
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:14.400
<v Speaker 5>So April eighth is early voting start, and we're asking

71
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:16.919
<v Speaker 5>everybody to do everything you can to get out to

72
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:19.800
<v Speaker 5>the polls and get out to vote for our primary

73
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:22.479
<v Speaker 5>that ends on May sixth. But April eight is going

74
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:24.520
<v Speaker 5>to be an awesome nun It is.

75
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:26.639
<v Speaker 2>And it's an opportunity for folks to actually meet you,

76
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:29.960
<v Speaker 2>shake your hand, and talk face to face. I think,

77
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:32.400
<v Speaker 2>like I said, your message is a good one, and

78
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:36.439
<v Speaker 2>maybe get some people to help work on the campaign

79
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:37.840
<v Speaker 2>as a consequence of that event.

80
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:39.719
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

81
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:42.439
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, We've spent a lot of the beginning stages of

82
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:46.159
<v Speaker 5>this campaign just meeting people, because I've been in politics

83
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:49.000
<v Speaker 5>a grand total of about three months now and so

84
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:52.439
<v Speaker 5>just meeting the right people, just like Christopher and others.

85
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:55.960
<v Speaker 5>And I really feel like this early voting kickoff is

86
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:57.719
<v Speaker 5>going to be the start to the next phase of

87
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:01.680
<v Speaker 5>the campaign, and that's mobilizing people, getting all the volunteers

88
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:02.159
<v Speaker 5>the right.

89
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:04.919
<v Speaker 4>Information to get people out to vote.

90
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:07.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, one of the things that I really like about

91
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:09.879
<v Speaker 2>what you're planning on doing if elected mayor at least

92
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:12.280
<v Speaker 2>working toward it. I know you'll probably have an uphill

93
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:16.240
<v Speaker 2>battle given the likely makeup of Cincinnati City Council, but

94
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:20.120
<v Speaker 2>reducing the regulatory burden and moving the hell out of

95
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:22.839
<v Speaker 2>the way when it comes to people wanting to redevelop neighborhoods,

96
00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:27.399
<v Speaker 2>individual building, smaller sort of flip type investors who can

97
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:30.240
<v Speaker 2>come and rehab one of those dilapidated buildings around you know,

98
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:32.519
<v Speaker 2>in your area on the West End and turn it

99
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:35.800
<v Speaker 2>into a storefront or maybe livable space apartments. All of

100
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:39.439
<v Speaker 2>that can be done city if the city we just

101
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:41.040
<v Speaker 2>get the hell out of the way, right.

102
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:45.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Well, what I tell people is that's something we've

103
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:47.000
<v Speaker 5>had a front row seat to. That's not just a

104
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:49.920
<v Speaker 5>blanket statement that we're copy and pasted from.

105
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:51.199
<v Speaker 4>A Republican website.

106
00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:56.000
<v Speaker 5>That's something that we've experienced downtown firsthand. And I've talked

107
00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:58.959
<v Speaker 5>with people, talk with local developers, and there's so many

108
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:03.560
<v Speaker 5>hungry and investors and businesses and developers that can only

109
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:06.319
<v Speaker 5>do maybe one or two properties at a time, and

110
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:09.839
<v Speaker 5>sometimes the process can be just overwhelming for these people.

111
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:11.920
<v Speaker 5>To where at the end of a year and a half,

112
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:14.319
<v Speaker 5>two years of trying to fight for the right zoning

113
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.680
<v Speaker 5>or the right construction paths, a lot of times they

114
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:20.040
<v Speaker 5>end up just giving up, and that shouldn't.

115
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:20.199
<v Speaker 4>Be the case.

116
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:22.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I'm always reminded when I think about this.

117
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:25.399
<v Speaker 2>The other person I knew had just a front row

118
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:28.480
<v Speaker 2>experience of this was the late great Elmer Hensler, founder

119
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:31.600
<v Speaker 2>of Queen City Sausage. He did a major plan expansion

120
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:35.000
<v Speaker 2>and it took him forever. I mean, he's in an

121
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:37.639
<v Speaker 2>industrial area anyway. It's not like he's moving into some

122
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:42.360
<v Speaker 2>suburb and intruding on people's you know, view or landscape

123
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:44.720
<v Speaker 2>or something like that. This is just another extension which

124
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:47.360
<v Speaker 2>would create more which did create more jobs, generate more

125
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:49.959
<v Speaker 2>revenue for the city. I mean, it was he had

126
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:52.639
<v Speaker 2>to reach out. I'd like to reach out to to

127
00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:55.240
<v Speaker 2>elected officials and have them check into why and the

128
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:56.639
<v Speaker 2>hell they were all standing in the way of this.

129
00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:59.199
<v Speaker 2>What is I mean, why would they want to stand

130
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:01.879
<v Speaker 2>in the way of something that is so beneficial for

131
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:04.199
<v Speaker 2>the city and something they profess to desire.

132
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:08.000
<v Speaker 5>Well, ultimately, you have to see yourself as are you

133
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:12.199
<v Speaker 5>a city official that's elected to support the vision of

134
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:16.079
<v Speaker 5>the residents or the vision of the entity of the city.

135
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:18.680
<v Speaker 5>And I think that you need to always take the

136
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:22.720
<v Speaker 5>residents' opinions and their dreams and their visions into account

137
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:25.120
<v Speaker 5>because what we're seeing right now, and this is what

138
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:27.920
<v Speaker 5>we're seeing with connected communities and a lot of these

139
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:32.160
<v Speaker 5>other policies, is that overall they have this ultimate vision

140
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:34.920
<v Speaker 5>that they want for these areas, and so they hold

141
00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:37.800
<v Speaker 5>these properties time on standby until they can get.

142
00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:40.519
<v Speaker 4>All the ducks lined up in a row. But that's

143
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:41.439
<v Speaker 4>not how it should be.

144
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:44.639
<v Speaker 5>You know, the local developers', local businesses, the residents, the

145
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:48.879
<v Speaker 5>community councils, they should have the biggest impact in developing

146
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:51.319
<v Speaker 5>the businesses and the properties and their communities.

147
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:53.120
<v Speaker 2>Let's I tell you what hang on for a minute.

148
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:54.879
<v Speaker 2>We'll just bring it back. Talk about a couple more issues.

149
00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:56.519
<v Speaker 2>I want to talk about crime a little bit with

150
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:59.360
<v Speaker 2>Corey Bowman. He is running for mayor be it Price Sill,

151
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:04.160
<v Speaker 2>Chile next Tuesday, five to seven pm. Hear what more

152
00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:06.000

<v Speaker 4>Hey.

181
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:22.920
<v Speaker 2>Before I get to public safety, which I know you're

182
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:25.319
<v Speaker 2>a big advocate of Corey, and I know you're also

183
00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:28.519
<v Speaker 2>a big advocate of education and of course helping our

184
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.879
<v Speaker 2>children in the Cincinni public schools get better educated because

185
00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:34.960
<v Speaker 2>I think some of the some of them are are

186
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:37.279
<v Speaker 2>being left behind demonstrably. So if you look at the

187
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:40.879
<v Speaker 2>test scores real quick. Citizen watchdog Todd Zenzer, who I know,

188
00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:44.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, he actually has facts. He has actual documents

189
00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:46.600
<v Speaker 2>that support his analysis of things. He was a former

190
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:49.279
<v Speaker 2>Inspector General, so he doesn't just pull things from his

191
00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:52.080
<v Speaker 2>sphinker and say them like so many other people. It

192
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:55.919
<v Speaker 2>was an interesting post that he had on his Facebook

193
00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:58.200
<v Speaker 2>page that Joe Streckers saw and forwarded to me that

194
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:00.919
<v Speaker 2>kind of chuckled like Joe did when he saw I know,

195
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:04.000
<v Speaker 2>you know about potholes. You've experienced the problems with potholes

196
00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:06.919
<v Speaker 2>in the city. The roads are deteriorating all over according

197
00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:09.519
<v Speaker 2>to a presentation from the Sinsini Department of Public Service

198
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:12.759
<v Speaker 2>at the Budget and Finance Committee this past Monday, I

199
00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:16.039
<v Speaker 2>believe it was March thirty first. Anyway, they say the

200
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:20.159
<v Speaker 2>city repaired thirty seven thousand potholes between January and the

201
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:23.080
<v Speaker 2>end of March. And as Todd pointed out doing the math,

202
00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:25.679
<v Speaker 2>if the department work five days a week, that means

203
00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:28.519
<v Speaker 2>they fixed five hundred and seventy eight potholes a day.

204
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:33.440
<v Speaker 2>Do you buy that, Corey Bowman, Well, this.

205
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:37.279
<v Speaker 5>Isn't anything getst the workers that are trying to repair

206
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:40.360
<v Speaker 5>these potholes with what they have available to them.

207
00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:43.039
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, that number kind of seems a little bit

208
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:43.600
<v Speaker 4>off to me.

209
00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:45.960
<v Speaker 1>Well, okay, and I'll tell you what. Let's do.

210
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:50.919
<v Speaker 2>Let's say it's accurate. Doesn't that indicate And I know

211
00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:52.960
<v Speaker 2>we've had a bad winter, but you know we have

212
00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:54.919
<v Speaker 2>roads that have been falling apart now for years and

213
00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:57.480
<v Speaker 2>years and they have not year after year and I

214
00:09:57.519 --> 00:09:59.200
<v Speaker 2>don't know how many years you can go back, they

215
00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:02.200
<v Speaker 2>haven't met up with their obligation to fix a certain

216
00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:06.159
<v Speaker 2>number of lane miles annually. So this to me, if

217
00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:09.200
<v Speaker 2>there are that many potholes in three months, thirty seven

218
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:11.840
<v Speaker 2>thousand of they fixed. That seems to me partly partially

219
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:14.679
<v Speaker 2>a revelation of how far behind they have and taking

220
00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:15.759
<v Speaker 2>care of infrastructure.

221
00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:20.080
<v Speaker 5>Well. Also in my mind too, if those numbers were correct,

222
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:23.440
<v Speaker 5>because we drive around the city all the time, you'd

223
00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:26.799
<v Speaker 5>be seeing crews non stop outside fixing them, and you'd

224
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:27.480
<v Speaker 5>be seeing the.

225
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:28.600
<v Speaker 4>Roads kind of prepared.

226
00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:32.000
<v Speaker 5>And last time I checked, even this last week driving around,

227
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:34.679
<v Speaker 5>these potholes are still out there in record numbers.

228
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:38.120
<v Speaker 2>All right, So rather than buy something new, Mayor Corey

229
00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Bowman would concentrate on taking care of existing infrastructure. I

230
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:43.360
<v Speaker 2>think that's a safe statement.

231
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:43.399
<v Speaker 4>Isn't it.

232
00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:47.919
<v Speaker 5>No, Absolutely, you have to just go forward with what's

233
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:51.440
<v Speaker 5>important to the citizens. And right now the study show

234
00:10:51.720 --> 00:10:54.600
<v Speaker 5>you know, whenever you ask citizens what's most important to them,

235
00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:57.519
<v Speaker 5>they say that it's crime and its infrastructure.

236
00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:00.559
<v Speaker 2>Well, and I know crime, that's something I wanted to

237
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:03.960
<v Speaker 2>pivot to. Crime is a problem. I think the days

238
00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:07.320
<v Speaker 2>of defund the police and the demonization of police are over.

239
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:10.480
<v Speaker 2>When you've got a city like Seattle reversing its policy

240
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:13.960
<v Speaker 2>and seeking to embrace and enhance its police department, you

241
00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:16.440
<v Speaker 2>know those days are over. So I always thought we

242
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:19.360
<v Speaker 2>had a pretty good relationship with the since police Department.

243
00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:21.799
<v Speaker 2>I know there are some instances in some times when

244
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:24.519
<v Speaker 2>we've had bad officers, but that exists in every profession

245
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:26.639
<v Speaker 2>in this country. But the vast majority of the officers

246
00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:29.639
<v Speaker 2>proudly wear the uniform and proudly serve the neighborhoods and

247
00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:33.720
<v Speaker 2>communities they're in. I think the larger challenge here, Corey,

248
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:36.159
<v Speaker 2>and it may have a direct relationship with why education

249
00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:38.960
<v Speaker 2>doesn't seem to be Our children seem to be failing

250
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:42.480
<v Speaker 2>in education. You know, it's the deterioration of the family. You,

251
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:44.559
<v Speaker 2>as a man of the cloth and as a family

252
00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:48.519
<v Speaker 2>man yourself, know that to have you know, a children

253
00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:51.919
<v Speaker 2>need to be taught, loved, cared for, and embraced at home.

254
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:54.720
<v Speaker 2>They need to have a strong family foundation. They need

255
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:57.240
<v Speaker 2>to be repercussions and discipline in the home. And I'm

256
00:11:57.279 --> 00:11:59.600
<v Speaker 2>not talking about physical discipline. My parents didn't have to

257
00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:01.440
<v Speaker 2>do that well a couple of times, but you know,

258
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:04.879
<v Speaker 2>it's an expectation at home that you're going to go

259
00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:06.679
<v Speaker 2>to school, you're going to get the work done, and

260
00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:08.279
<v Speaker 2>if you need help, you're going to get some help.

261
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:10.519
<v Speaker 2>There's just not enough of that out there and I

262
00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:12.960
<v Speaker 2>don't know that we can fix society's problems gangs run

263
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:15.480
<v Speaker 2>and loose in the streets and looting stores and neighborhoods

264
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:18.840
<v Speaker 2>unless they have a found or strong family structure. I mean,

265
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:21.799
<v Speaker 2>can politicians can't change that though, can they?

266
00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:25.320
<v Speaker 4>Well, you can encourage it, you know.

267
00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:28.120
<v Speaker 5>I think that you know, with running for mayor, a

268
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:30.240
<v Speaker 5>lot of people might come in and just say, you know,

269
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:32.200
<v Speaker 5>I'm the savior of the city and I'm going to

270
00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:35.679
<v Speaker 5>fix everything. Well, there's certain a lot of responsibilities to

271
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:38.720
<v Speaker 5>you as a mayor, and I think that you know,

272
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:41.840
<v Speaker 5>politicians and city officials kind of need to realize that

273
00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:45.159
<v Speaker 5>that the whatever you're charged to be over, that's what

274
00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:47.039
<v Speaker 5>you need to do your best at. But I think

275
00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:49.480
<v Speaker 5>one of the key things, especially as a mayor in

276
00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:52.360
<v Speaker 5>that position, is you can set the standard of what

277
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:54.480
<v Speaker 5>you support, you know, as far as what you are

278
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:58.279
<v Speaker 5>openly and vocally supporting, and then their policies kind of

279
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:01.200
<v Speaker 5>reflect that. So, yes, there is a crime issue. Yes,

280
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:04.399
<v Speaker 5>it's really what we're going through. And as a pastor,

281
00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:07.120
<v Speaker 5>we see this it's a spiritual battle. This is a

282
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:10.879
<v Speaker 5>spiritual thing that's happening in our city to where we've

283
00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:13.519
<v Speaker 5>got to get back to the roots of a family

284
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:17.159
<v Speaker 5>and structure and discipline. But when you see people that

285
00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:20.840
<v Speaker 5>are trapped in areas to where like the West End,

286
00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:25.320
<v Speaker 5>we're at eighty seven percent government subsidized housing. Realistically, what

287
00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:27.720
<v Speaker 5>that means is that is that if a child grows

288
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:30.840
<v Speaker 5>up in that area a half mile one way and

289
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:33.159
<v Speaker 5>a half mile to the other, there is nobody that

290
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:36.000
<v Speaker 5>is above the poverty line. And so when you have

291
00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:40.879
<v Speaker 5>policies that indicate that people are surrounded by poverties, surrounded

292
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:44.840
<v Speaker 5>by abuse, surrounded by crime, there's no way out for them.

293
00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:48.399
<v Speaker 5>And so I'm all four policies that help lift people up.

294
00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:51.320
<v Speaker 5>But when your policies are keeping people in bondage the

295
00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:55.120
<v Speaker 5>rest of their life, and that includes with the family structure,

296
00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:58.799
<v Speaker 5>that includes with job opportunities, that includes with having a

297
00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:02.919
<v Speaker 5>home that people can call their own, our policies at

298
00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:05.639
<v Speaker 5>the local level are not encouraging that at all. And

299
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:07.840
<v Speaker 5>that's what I would change if people will vote.

300
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:11.960
<v Speaker 2>For me and you know, offer vocal support and encouragement,

301
00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:16.279
<v Speaker 2>reach out to the community leaders, the ministers, the pastors,

302
00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:19.679
<v Speaker 2>the priests, the rabbis, and maybe help coordinate a collective

303
00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:24.200
<v Speaker 2>effort that isn't about race, baiting and complaining and demanding

304
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:27.039
<v Speaker 2>more of this than that, but just collectively working together

305
00:14:27.559 --> 00:14:30.200
<v Speaker 2>to better homes and communities and home LIFs. You know,

306
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:34.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, and I think that that spirituality can help that.

307
00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:36.440
<v Speaker 2>A lot we have gotten away from spirituality, as you

308
00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:38.440
<v Speaker 2>might notice, and I really think that has a profound

309
00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:39.960
<v Speaker 2>impact on the direction of society.

310
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:41.279
<v Speaker 4>Well.

311
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:43.879
<v Speaker 5>Also in the downtown areas, a lot of people have

312
00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:47.840
<v Speaker 5>been so afraid of pushing a spiritual aspect of this.

313
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:51.519
<v Speaker 5>And it's not about just cramming doctrine or cramming religion

314
00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:55.600
<v Speaker 5>down your throat, no, but it recognizing that church helps

315
00:14:55.639 --> 00:14:59.919
<v Speaker 5>the community. It's recognizing that these personal convictions that people

316
00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:05.840
<v Speaker 5>have through these relationships and through these established community leaders,

317
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:08.600
<v Speaker 5>whether it be pastors or rabbis or priests, whatever that

318
00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:11.399
<v Speaker 5>might be. We've been so afraid to talk about these

319
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:14.240
<v Speaker 5>things in our cities for the sake of offending people.

320
00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:17.480
<v Speaker 5>I think people are so set up with how things

321
00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:20.720
<v Speaker 5>are going to where I think they're willing to offend

322
00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:22.559
<v Speaker 5>some people to be able to say, Hey, what are

323
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:25.039
<v Speaker 5>the things that are actually going to help this city,

324
00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:28.000
<v Speaker 5>What are the things that are actually going to help families.

325
00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:28.200
<v Speaker 4>In this city?

326
00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:30.720
<v Speaker 1>Amen to that Corey Bowman dot com.
