I understand. 40 00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:54.359 Drod. 41 00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:56.719 Start on a little lighter note. You attended the baseball 42 00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:59.840 game yesterday. You got to see the Little League home 43 00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:03.840 They got it in the park, Homer. That was I 44 00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:04.239 watched that. 45 00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:07.359 Video that was electric in the stadium because I mean, 46 00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:09.599 it's that's at the point where you don't know how 47 00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:11.599 the game's gonna go, and as a Reds fan, you're 48 00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:14.680 just like praying that you didn't just waste your entire night. 49 00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:16.919 And then when that happened, it is like my five 50 00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:19.039 year old boy. It's so I've got five and seven 51 00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:21.919 year old boy that they just like get so mad 52 00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:23.960 when we don't win when we go to a game, 53 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:25.800 because it's like you get to go there once in 54 00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:28.000 a couple of weeks or a couple of months, and 55 00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:30.800 when that happened, they were like yeah. And then when 56 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:32.879 the Grand Slam happened, it was like my five year 57 00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:34.599 old I mean, I felt like the greatest dat in 58 00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:37.400 the world. He was giving me a hug and so 59 00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:40.199 it was good. And we're five week old son. That 60 00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:42.680 was his first game there too, so I'm not sure 61 00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:44.800 how much he was keeping track of the stats, but 62 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:45.759 he enjoyed it. Well. 63 00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:47.159 I bet you got a lot of pictures in that. 64 00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:49.199 I remember the first time we took our son after 65 00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:50.719 he was born to a it was a Cubs game 66 00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:52.879 because we were living in Chicago at the time hit 67 00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:56.639 his little tiny club Cubs onesie on and his little 68 00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:57.280 ball cap. 69 00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:00.240 I will say this that, you know, I always like 70 00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:02.960 try to watch the different fan bases, you know, the 71 00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:05.879 cub fan bases. I actually love the cub fans whenever 72 00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:08.879 they come into town. But the Phillies fans they were 73 00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:12.360 extremely loud last night. So I started realizing, like Philly fans, 74 00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:14.120 they know how to get loud when it comes to 75 00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:16.400 their team, even though you know, we beat them at 76 00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:16.879 the end of it. 77 00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:19.319 Yeah, congratulations to the Reds on that. Well, we can 78 00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:21.199 pivot over because you were at the Reds game, you 79 00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:23.319 would let me know because I was talking about that 80 00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:27.199 shooting in Queen's Gate at sixth and Lynn. A woman 81 00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:29.319 got shot in the back, and you came in. You 82 00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:31.919 pointed out that that's not that far away from the 83 00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:33.080 Great American Ballpark. 84 00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:35.560 Yeah, so, I mean I was telling you earlier that's 85 00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:37.719 actually where we started our church. So we were in 86 00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:41.439 the Queen's Gate area right around Fifth and Lynn. There's homes, 87 00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:45.400 homeless encampments there, there's you know, obviously the issues that 88 00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:49.719 are happening in that area, but also especially during Bengals games, 89 00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:52.360 when it's extremely full, but a lot of people park 90 00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.840 in the Queen's Gate area to avoid parking rates that 91 00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:58.520 are a mile away in the stadiums, And so when 92 00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:01.400 up happenings that even during the games, people will park 93 00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:04.560 in certain areas of Queen's Gate and they'll ride scooters over, 94 00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:06.240 they'll walk over because it's only a mile and a 95 00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:08.879 half away. When the middle of the I believe it 96 00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:11.120 was the fifth inning, I'm looking down at my phone 97 00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:14.159 monitoring all the scanners and everything, and we see that 98 00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:16.319 there was a drive by shooting. This woman gets shot 99 00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:18.519 in the back, and I just can't believe that this 100 00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:21.319 happened in the middle of the Reds game. Thousands of 101 00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:23.560 people downtown for this and we're a mile and a 102 00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:25.040 half away, and this is happening. 103 00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:28.720 Well, I suppose shooting in downtown Cincinnati happens. Seems to 104 00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:31.160 be happening all the time. I mean, just that it's 105 00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:34.720 happens being close for proximity Great American Ballpark. Hell, we've 106 00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:37.879 had well, I guess I could call it riots close 107 00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:40.800 to the Great American Ballpark in the downtown Sincyny area. 108 00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:43.800 So crime huge issue. Mayor, I have to have pulwall 109 00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:47.480 says the city is safe despite the perception, and he 110 00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:52.319 claimed yesterday that the crime was actually down, which I found, Well, 111 00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:54.720 he can say it all day long, but he may 112 00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:56.680 be living in a state of denial this since an 113 00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:00.319 inquir reported that actually the crime is up. They point 114 00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:02.360 out if you just look at the month to month 115 00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:06.759 data that there was a in downtown collectively twenty six 116 00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:10.000 percent reduction serious violent crime. But if you look at 117 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:13.120 it year to year, we are up forty eight percent 118 00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:15.480 over last year in violent crime. 119 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:18.519 Yeah, and there's a saying that's going around right now 120 00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:21.959 that your perception is your reality. Right now, I'm actually 121 00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:25.199 like a fan of this specific statement when it comes 122 00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:28.439 to certain things because we came out of like youth ministry, 123 00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:30.319 and we came out of like I mean, there's marriage 124 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:33.759 counseling involved in having a church, and so a lot 125 00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:36.680 of times when you talk to people about their relationships 126 00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:38.879 and marriage, or you talk about like parents, you talk 127 00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:41.560 about how, yeah, their perception is their reality. You know, 128 00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:44.920 how they view the world, that's their reality. You have 129 00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:48.079 to take that in consideration. But there's never a point 130 00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:50.839 where a child or a teenager would come in with 131 00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:53.600 a black eye and say that their dad beat them, 132 00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:55.560 and I would look at them say, well, your perception 133 00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:59.160 is your reality. No, your reality is your reality. That 134 00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:03.920 actually happened, that actually degrades the experience that that person had. 135 00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:07.759 Whenever you say, oh, it's only your perception that seems 136 00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:09.600 that it's unsafe, No, it was the fact that a 137 00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:12.480 woman got shot in the back last night a mile 138 00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.800 away from the stadiums. That's what's happening in our city. 139 00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:19.079 And it's not about perception anymore. It's about this is 140 00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:21.959 a reality that people downtown are fed up with bullets. 141 00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:24.920 Tell that to the person that's on Clark Street in 142 00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.720 John Street, that's right by my church where sixty five 143 00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:32.040 to seventy five bullets came going down Clark Street one 144 00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:35.439 night on Friday night. And then recently, Yeah, so we 145 00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:38.519 had an outreach that was happening at the stadium that 146 00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:41.800 night where over seven hundred individuals were there. Six hours later, 147 00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:44.560 there were sixty five seventy five bullets that were coming 148 00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:47.399 from the very end of Lynn Street all the way 149 00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:51.000 down Clark Street to John Street. And that was happening 150 00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:53.439 to where these are people that it's not just the 151 00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:55.680 bad areas, it's not just this These are people that 152 00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:58.079 own homes or town homes here that they're fed up 153 00:06:58.120 --> 00:06:59.560 with what's going on in our city. 154 00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:01.439 Yep. I think I'd be a little upset if there 155 00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:02.600 was a bullet hole in my house. 156 00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:02.920 Yeah. 157 00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:05.759 Try telling the person that has a bullet hole in 158 00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.920 their window that all your perception is your reality. Yeah, 159 00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:11.040 the bullet hole is your reality. 160 00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:13.720 Yeah, my perception will be I perceive it a wonderful 161 00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:16.240 thing that I wasn't standing in that room when the 162 00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:19.279 bullet came into it.

He's running for the Mari City Cincinnati as 207 00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:36.759 a Republican and a tough road to ho he knows it, 208 00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:39.480 but he's up to the challenge and making some inroads 209 00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:41.879 and various potential voting blocks. Of course, you got the 210 00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:44.679 benefit of potential Hyde Park voters given what happened to 211 00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:47.120 them by the City of Cincinnati, and you got Bond 212 00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:50.039 Hill potential voters because of the property issue, and of 213 00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:52.840 course we have this raging issue of crime, which has 214 00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:56.519 brought a lot of national attention, you know, actually international 215 00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:58.679 attention if you look at what the vice mayor or 216 00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:03.720 the the pro tem councilwoman, the third line from the 217 00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:08.679 mayor spot saying that in this beatdown, that they deserved 218 00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:12.159 the beat down. That somehow, I mean, even ignoring the 219 00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:15.559 Russian guys, somehow anybody could justify Holly getting punched in 220 00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:19.120 the face and knocked out for what appears to be 221 00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:23.559 merely rendering aid to someone in distress is inexcusable. And no, 222 00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:28.480 she did not deserve that, but that actually made global news. Corey, 223 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:29.919 this is not the type of attention we want in 224 00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:33.320 the city of Cincinnati. And going back to Pervol's comments yesterday, 225 00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:37.519 oh it's safe despite the perception, Well that perception is 226 00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:41.200 now a national, if not global, phenomenon. Corey, you get 227 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:43.159 a lot of national attention too. I haven't. I can't 228 00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:46.200 read your name in the paper without following up by 229 00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:48.960 brother or Vice President JD. Vans as if that has 230 00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:50.840 anything to do with anything you're about, Corey. 231 00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:53.840 Go ahead, Yeah, well, I'm always going to say this. 232 00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:56.799 I'm never ashamed of my relationship with my brother. He's 233 00:10:56.799 --> 00:10:59.679 doing incredible things and what he's doing from the vice 234 00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:02.799 president an ency standpoint, it just amazes me every day. 235 00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:06.399 But you know, putting that aside, we have to realize 236 00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:09.279 that these are city issues. You just mentioned that, Hyde Park, 237 00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:12.440 bond Hill. We've got some potential people that could vote 238 00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:15.480 for us. This to me is not a political game 239 00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:17.559 of trying to necessarily even though we are trying to 240 00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:20.279 get votes because we believe we're the best candidate for mayor, 241 00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:23.679 but these are city issues that should be important to everybody. 242 00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:26.080 They shouldn't be red or blue issues. It's hey, we 243 00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:29.440 need clean streets, we need safe streets, we need prosperous streets. 244 00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:32.759 But then also you need council members that look at 245 00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:35.840 the voices of the people and consider that on a 246 00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:39.279 consistent basis. Not just get a blank check whenever you 247 00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:42.039 get voted in to do whatever you want, but say no, 248 00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:44.120 this is a vote of confidence that I'm going to 249 00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:46.879 continue to listen to the voices of the residents. And 250 00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:48.960 that's what we're running for now. When we talk about 251 00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:53.039 national intention, the national intention is getting there because people 252 00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:56.960 care about our cities. You know, I was born in Hamilton, Ohio. 253 00:11:57.039 --> 00:12:00.919 There's a Joe Nuxall way. That's actually an Hamilton, Ohio. 254 00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:05.480 People in Hamilton, Ohio, Fairfield and surrounding areas, they feel 255 00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:08.080 that Cincinnati is their home as well. They come down 256 00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:10.720 here for concerts, that come down here for the web 257 00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:12.840 and fireworks that's happening at the end of the month. 258 00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:15.799 They love this city just as much as anybody else. 259 00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:17.919 And so I think that there's a lot of people 260 00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:22.159 that nationally care about our downtown cities. But then globally, 261 00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:25.879 you mentioned globally what's happening is that, you know, America 262 00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:28.679 has to lead the way in so many things in 263 00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:31.000 our world. We have to be that light of hope 264 00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:34.440 for many nations. And when nations are watching America right now, 265 00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:37.559 they see a trend that our downtown areas are being 266 00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:41.799 riddled with crime, decaying infrastructure, and something needs to happen. 267 00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:44.879 But this needs to happen on our local levels. This 268 00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:48.080 cannot just be a point to where other people have 269 00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:50.639 to feel like they take the responsibility for it, even 270 00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:53.320 though that is what's happening and it's needed, like what 271 00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:55.879 we see in DC. But the reality of it is 272 00:12:55.879 --> 00:12:58.879 that our local government is failing its people and that's 273 00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:01.720 why this is happening. That's why we need strong leadership. 274 00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:04.039 Well, I mean take DC's in his illustration of the 275 00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:06.600 defund the police reality, and you know, post George Floyd, 276 00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:09.879 they lost a heapload to their police officers. They embraced 277 00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:12.840 the concept of defunding the police and rethinking the police 278 00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:16.559 and allocating resources elsewhere, you know, putting money into you know, 279 00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:22.480 community relations or some nebulous socialists or as a sociologist 280 00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:26.240 inspired concept. You need police officers. I mean, that's what 281 00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:28.039 everyone has come to the realization. You're the chief of 282 00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:30.200 the Metropolitan Police Department in DC is saying, thank god, 283 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:32.159 these guys are here now, thank you for the federal 284 00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:35.720 government step again, we're down hundreds and hundreds of police officers. 285 00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:38.200 Let me talk about like the community initiatives and the 286 00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:40.720 things that happen these In my mind, there's so many 287 00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:44.799 programs and policies that divide the police officers from the 288 00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:47.360 communities they serve. I used to watch I watch these 289 00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:50.159 you know, sports movies where all these guys would be 290 00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:52.720 in like let's say, a barbershop or a diner talking 291 00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:56.039 about the high school football team, right, and always in 292 00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:58.480 the corner there was a cop, right, and he wasn't 293 00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:00.960 there for protections because he was a part of the community, 294 00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:03.279 right And that's what we need to get back to 295 00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:04.320 is that these cops. 296 00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:06.120 I have a coffee shop in the West End. 297 00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:09.480 Once the cops knew that they were welcome in my shop, 298 00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:11.840 they wanted to be there, not for protection, but they 299 00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:13.480 want to be there to be a part of the community, 300 00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:15.639 to talk with people. And that's what we've got to 301 00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:18.279 restore in our city. But the three to one ones, 302 00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:21.759 the arcs, the Act for Cincy programs, all these things 303 00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:24.679 are dividing the cops from the communities they serve. 304 00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:27.840 And someone to talk about you know, scarce valuable resources. 305 00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:30.399 Those are dollars and the being diverted away from hiring people, 306 00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:32.519 hiring citizen asus. 307 00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:35.360 Three point two million dollars going to Act for Cincy. 308 00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:38.320 You know, you got seven point one million that's going 309 00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:41.559 towards speed humps on Harrison Avenue. Could you imagine what 310 00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:44.960 patrols of seven point one million dollars would do on 311 00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:45.960 Harrison Avenue? 312 00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:46.000 YEA. 313 00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:49.200 And what was Lansman's response to the crime? Two million 314 00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:51.840 dollars And that guy had to be divided between hiring 315 00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:56.279 lateral police officers, extra street lighting and uh two two. 316 00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:59.399 Yeah, the funds are there in our budget to be diverted, 317 00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:02.679 but you have to prioritize public safety. And I'm not 318 00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:06.200 talking because we see that about sixty four percent of 319 00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:09.519 the budget currently actually goes toward public safety, but a 320 00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:13.000 lot of it gets muddied with administrative salaries, with contracts 321 00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:16.480 or with other departments that might not necessarily be needed 322 00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:19.200 or put that much emphasis on. We've got to get 323 00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:22.919 back to the basis of a proper police force doing 324 00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:27.240 its job is really what's needed, not stacking on top 325 00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:30.240 of it. Let's stack drones, Let's stack a roving task force. 326 00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:30.919 Let's test this. 327 00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:33.679 No, how about we have a proper police force and 328 00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:35.200 that comes from the top down. 329 00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:37.200 More with Corey Bowman after the top of the hour. 330 00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:41.039 News segue to Jay Ratliff at seven or eight thirty. 331 00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:43.240 Be right back, don't go away confused. 332 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:46.320 Happens fast, stay up to date at the top of 333 00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:46.679 the hour. 334 00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:49.320 Not gonna be complicated. It's going to go very fast. 335 00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:56.000 Fifty five KRC the talk station, your summer pocket knife 336 00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:56.840 of information. 337 00:15:57.080 --> 00:16:01.679 That's the only way to for fifty five KRC Bean talkstation. 338 00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:06.519 At six Here at fifty bout Karosen talk station, a 339 00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:09.279 very happy Friday eve to come up bottom of the hour. 340 00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:11.759 It's Thursday, so we get I heard me the aviation expert, 341 00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:14.320 Jay Rattlift. He had about a half a dozen topics 342 00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:16.360 where with Jay Ratliff looking forward to that and of 343 00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:18.679 course looking forward to continue the conversation we're having right 344 00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:21.840 now Corey Bowman in studio of course Coreybowman dot com. 345 00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:24.879 Running from ay of the City of Cincinnati, and maybe 346 00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:27.679 we've got a possibility here. A lot of folks are 347 00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:30.000 upset and of you, the mayor, have to have pro 348 00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:32.759 Ball's response to the epidemic we've got going on. I'll 349 00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:35.720 call it epidemic. The problem with crime perceived or real 350 00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:40.000 seems to be a shift back over to more policing 351 00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:42.519 along lines what we were talking about before. We need 352 00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:44.879 police on the streets, we don't need you know, sort 353 00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:48.559 of side campaigns and you know, fluffy projects that we 354 00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:51.000 don't know whether are even born any fruit. I think 355 00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:53.159 that's one of the other problems. The corollaria this is, yes, 356 00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:56.759 we've got this program that's using up some of the 357 00:16:56.759 --> 00:16:59.519 resources that we could put toward lateral hires in the 358 00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:03.600 police policing generally speaking, But is what that program is 359 00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:06.480 doing actually doing any good? Is it reducing violence? And 360 00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:09.599 if you look at the statistics alone, one might conclude that, well, 361 00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:13.880 maybe not, it's not and that the answer is more 362 00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:17.359 police on the street, which without saying the other programs 363 00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:20.519 don't work. Provol's efforts, at least in response of recent 364 00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:24.640 crime developments, is to engage in more policing efforts. Now, 365 00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:28.599 I guess in terms of where you would go in 366 00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:34.240 direction of crime fighting, Corey, you said we need a 367 00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:37.160 full contingent of police officers. That requires some more money. Clearly, 368 00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:39.359 we're gonna have to start training more police officers. That's 369 00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:42.640 a longer term proposition. Lateral hires are a great thing. 370 00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:44.720 How many of them are there? Can we hire people 371 00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:47.960 away laterally? That remains to be seen, and I suppose 372 00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:52.119 that's in the works right now. But I guess my 373 00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:55.000 recommendation to people in the city, you know, choose a 374 00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:58.079 different path. We've got an administrative state kind of like 375 00:17:58.119 --> 00:18:00.240 the swamp that's built up over the last time twenty 376 00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:03.559 thirty years with Democrats in control, and they've got a 377 00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:06.559 really entrenched group of folks within the city of Cincinnati 378 00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:07.880 and behind the scenes. 379 00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:10.799 Yeah, what I'm trying to get people to understand is 380 00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:12.839 because a lot of people think, well, what can a 381 00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:15.559 mayor really do, you know, especially with our structure. I 382 00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:18.480 thought I didn't think it was a strong mayor type 383 00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:21.400 of you know scenario, with the policies and the charter 384 00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:24.599 that we have in place. But this is what happens, 385 00:18:24.759 --> 00:18:28.160 is that we have a mayor election and then through 386 00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:31.559 that you have the ability of setting the city manager, 387 00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:34.880 which is our CEO of our city, and then through 388 00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:38.039 that the city Manager's office is in charge of so 389 00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:41.440 much in the city administratively. This is something that has 390 00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:44.000 to be looked at in our city because, I mean, 391 00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:46.480 everybody wants to focus on the video of the brawl, 392 00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:48.680 everybody wants to focus on the crime, everybody wants to 393 00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:49.559 focus on these. 394 00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:50.799 You know, safe Hyde Park Square. 395 00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:54.359 But what this boils down to is that administratively, this 396 00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:57.119 city is not being run properly. And if there was 397 00:18:57.200 --> 00:19:00.519 any corporation that was being run like this, this CEO 398 00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:05.039 would be fired exactly. And so this has nothing to 399 00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:07.880 do I'm sure maybe she's a nice lady, but for me, 400 00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:11.519 I'm looking at from the logistics standpoint of a CEO 401 00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:14.880
