1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,759
Speaker 1: Are to welcome in once again the one time Vice

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: mayor of the City of Cincinnati, Chris Smitheman. And Chris Smitheman,

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: how you doing today, Hey.

4
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 2: I'm doing good, brother. Thank you so much for having me, Hon.

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 2: It's certainly good to hear your White House listening to

6
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 2: this Epstein file's list, and one of the things I

7
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 2: was doing, I said, well, I hope he doesn't say

8
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 2: my name.

9
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: No, you are, you're not. Look, you're an a list

10
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: or in my book, but you didn't make that list.

11
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of big names on there.

12
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: And you texted me Mike Pence question mark. Yeah, So

13
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: I mean, look, people need to understand just because your

14
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: name is on that list doesn't mean it. I mean,

15
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley are in the Epstein file,

16
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 1: so it could be it could be any reference. Again,

17
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: and they talked about Look, did they talk about articles

18
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: that are mentioned in their emails that went back and forth,

19
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: the stuff that is not connected to any of the

20
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,639
Speaker 1: And look, I don't I don't mean to make light.

21
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: I laugh a little bit, but I don't mean to

22
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: take light of any of the atrocities, any of the

23
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: illegal stuff that went on with regard to Epstein. Chris

24
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: Smith and I think we're of the same mind on

25
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: this that if there are individual that engaged in some

26
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: of these horrific acts with young women and abuse them

27
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: in any way, laid a hand on them, did anything

28
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: like that, I don't care who they are, they need

29
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: to be held accountable for that.

30
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: Go to jail. One hundred percent. I agree, throw away

31
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: the key. No matter what the political party, and no

32
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 2: matter what their status is in America or the world,

33
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: they all should go to jail. One percent agree. Very

34
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 2: serious topic, a very serious topic, and my heart goes

35
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 2: out to all of the victims that were involved in

36
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: the Epstein sex scandal. It was horrible, horrible for our country.

37
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 2: Let me start off and say this to you. Let

38
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: me just give a shout out personally, if you'll allow

39
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 2: me some professional courtesy to a Seaton swim team. You

40
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: did a great job this weekend. Yeah, you know, my

41
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: daughter is a varsity swimmer. I'm so proud of her.

42
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 2: But I like to talk about the team and this big,

43
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: big picture. And there was one young lady, her name

44
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 2: was Sarah, and Sarah swam and she lost. It's one

45
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 2: of these lessons that I you know, we try to

46
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 2: tell young people. And what I loved about this situation

47
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 2: is Sarah came over to her mom and came to

48
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 2: her family for support. My family gave her that support,

49
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: which was awesome. Then she went and did a warm

50
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: down and came back and won the next race. It

51
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,839
Speaker 2: was such an amazing lesson, and it was like, here

52
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: she is swimming, and she's like, no, this is I'm Sarah,

53
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 2: and I'm going to get back in this pool and

54
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: I'm gonna make it happen. It was one of the

55
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 2: most remarkable swims that I've seen in the four years

56
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 2: my daughter's been swimming. But my hat's off Seaton and

57
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 2: let me just jump right into this id stuff. Man. Look,

58
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 2: African Americans are not dumb. We are very smart. I

59
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 2: am tired of Democratic leaders playing us, manipulating us, acting

60
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: as if we don't know our history.

61
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: Dan Carroll well of the composite by Democrats across the

62
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: board on this.

63
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: We are not stupid, and that is why you see

64
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 2: so many African Americans, I think it's in the seventies

65
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 2: have seventy percent, seventy three or seventy five percent have

66
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: no problems with IDs to vote. You need an ID

67
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: to buy alcohol, you need an ID to get in

68
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 2: and visit your congressional member. You need an ID to

69
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: cast your government check. You need an ID to open

70
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: up a bank account, you need a ID to buy cigarettes,

71
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 2: you need an ID to go into a club. I mean,

72
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 2: there's nowhere in America you don't need an ID. This

73
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 2: notion that African Americans are walking around without our identification,

74
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 2: whether that's a state ID or whether it's a driver's license,

75
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 2: is insane. And so the notion, the reality of it

76
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: is when I heard Schumer, and I'm serious about this,

77
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: this is the stuff that makes me really angry. This

78
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 2: Democrat talking about poll taxes and Jim Crow. The audacity

79
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,239
Speaker 2: of him to have that come out of his mouth

80
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 2: when he knows that it was the Democrats in the

81
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: South that brought us the poll tax. It's the Democrats

82
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 2: in the South that brought us Jim Crow right. The

83
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: reality is George Wallace, the governor, said degregation today, degregation tomorrow,

84
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 2: segregation forever. That was a Democrat for him to get

85
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: out there and act as if African Americans are now

86
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 2: going to connect the voter ID, meaning we want elections

87
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 2: that are free in America. We want elections that are

88
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: fair in America. I don't have any African Americans walking

89
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 2: around in my life in my circle, which is pretty

90
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 2: big saying hey, I have a problem with this, and

91
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 2: also that I am interested in having a democratic process

92
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 2: that is fair. When the election is over, we want

93
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 2: to know. Here's what this is about. This is all

94
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 2: about having people illegally vote in our elections. And so

95
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 2: you have Democrats that are literally saying, listen, photo IDs

96
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,559
Speaker 2: is undermining the black community, is undermining poor white people.

97
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 2: What are they talking about. They act as if we're fools.

98
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 2: This is about people that they want to vote in

99
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 2: our elections illegally. And so the whole ice thing that

100
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 2: we're talking about has everything to do with the same

101
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 2: thing I'm talking about right now. And I will say

102
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 2: to you this is why they try The Democrats are

103
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: trying to dumb down African American voters. And I promise

104
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 2: you we are not taking debate.

105
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: All right, Well, chris villeman, stay right there. We've got

106
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: to get to a quick break and we'll continue on

107
00:05:54,640 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: the other side. On fifty five KRCV talk station seven

108
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: nine back with Christopher Smith Smithman and the Smith event,

109
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: and so Chris Smitherman, you know, you were talking about

110
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: this notion of Jim Crow two point zero, And I

111
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: just wonder how do we get to the point in

112
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: this country to where we cannot even agree on things.

113
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: I just read a piece where John Kennedy got President

114
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 1: Trump to sign a bill into law that we stop

115
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 1: sending government checks to people who have passed away, and

116
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: he got for four years. He got pushback on that.

117
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: Of course, the notion that you would have to show

118
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: id and we want to have secure elections, we get

119
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 1: pushed back on that. When USAID was exposed for sending

120
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: these billions of dollars overseas for all these idiotic, stupid

121
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: activities and things that were being supported by American taxpayer dollars,

122
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 1: there is still pushback on people who don't want to

123
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: end any of that. In some cases federal judges say

124
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: that you have to keep sending that money overseas. How

125
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: do we on issues like this where everybody should be

126
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,119
Speaker 1: just on the most basic level of the same mind

127
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: to stop this fraud, waste, and abuse. How do we

128
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: get so separated on issues like that that we can't

129
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: even find common ground? To bring those kind of common

130
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: sense things to a reasonable conclusion, because.

131
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 3: A lot of those democratic organizations who are receiving that

132
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 3: fraudulent money are paying.

133
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 2: Off the protesters that you're seeing in our streets. And

134
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 2: so this is how money flows through federal governments, goes

135
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 2: into these nonprofit organizations, and they then send the money

136
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 2: out across the world to undermine the interests of America.

137
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 2: That is what is happening. It's not complicated, and I

138
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 2: know you know it, and that braw continues to be

139
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 2: exposed right now. We're seeing it in one part of

140
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 2: the country, but it's all over the country. And the

141
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 2: government shutdown. A lot of people don't know we're in

142
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 2: a government shutdown. Csa H aren't being paid. Eventually, it's

143
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 2: going to impact flights like it did the last time.

144
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 2: You'll see the Transportation Secretary come out. Secretary Transportation Duffy's

145
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 2: going to come out and say we've got to start

146
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 2: reducing flight ten percent, twenty percent as long as this

147
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 2: thing goes on. So remember the heart of this is

148
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 2: they're saying they want ICE to be brought under control.

149
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 2: The reality is every democratic and Republican president used ice,

150
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 2: deported people out of this country. As a matter of fact,

151
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 2: President Barack Obama did it. Tom Homan was his guy,

152
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 2: the guy that is now working for President Trump. People

153
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 2: forget that he was given an award by President Obama

154
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 2: for the great job he did for These are all

155
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 2: true things. When you tell Democrats these things, it makes

156
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 2: them so angry. Like I'm just telling the truth. No

157
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 2: one comes behind me when I get off this radio

158
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 2: and say, hey man, Dan Carroll, what that guy did

159
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 2: just wasn't true. Let me correct the record. They can't

160
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 2: say that the discussion that we're having is false. They

161
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 2: just say, why is he talking about it? And when

162
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 2: he talks about it, they then start throwing insults. Well,

163
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 2: he's not black, he's an uncle Tom, he's a sellout,

164
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 2: he's all these things, Like, for example, when I say

165
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 2: Lincoln signed an executive order for the Emancipation Proclamation, fact

166
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 2: he was a Republican. When you go into our Cincinnati

167
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 2: public schools, they'll say the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. They

168
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 2: might say that Lincoln signed it or or initiated it,

169
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 2: but they'll never say Lincoln necessarily was a Republican. They'll

170
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 2: never say. They'll say the Thirteenth Amendment brought freedom to

171
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 2: African Americans in this country, but they'll never tell you

172
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 2: who voted for it. They'll never say Republicans voted for

173
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 2: the Thirteenth Amendment and disproportionately Democrats voted against it. So

174
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 2: the problem with what we're dealing with a lot with

175
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 2: our education is our public school systems and our school

176
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 2: systems in general, continue to fail our children. They're unwilling

177
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 2: to tell the truth about our history. So you and

178
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 2: I are always having conversations out of content. If I

179
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 2: said who George Wallace is, they would say, well, I

180
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 2: kind of know about George Wallace. If I said segregation today,

181
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 2: segregation tomorrow, segregation forever, people would say, yes, I remember that.

182
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 2: That's a famous quote. But they'll never tell you that

183
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 2: that was a Democrat who said that. Who is down

184
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 2: there blocking our children from getting a good education in America?

185
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,479
Speaker 2: We're talking black Americans. The problem is all of the misinformation.

186
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 2: The way you can give information is you can tell

187
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 2: us the old truth, or you can just say I'm

188
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 2: not gonna I'm gonna leave large pieces of history out

189
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 2: and so they just don't talk about it. The point

190
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: is that's why this id conversation we're having a showdown

191
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 2: regarding Ice. If you go out and you pull Americans,

192
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 2: you don't tell them Republican or Democrats. You just say, listen,

193
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 2: do you think somebody should come into our country illegally?

194
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,839
Speaker 2: Do you think that a country should have open borders?

195
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 2: People will say no, I don't think that. No, I

196
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 2: don't think that. Right. If you say, well, what do

197
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 2: you think about ice? I don't know about ice. Because

198
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 2: they're pumping this thing up that Ice is so bad

199
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 2: that these men and women, these federal agents that are

200
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 2: out there pulling rapists, murderers, gang members out of our

201
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 2: communities in some way are bad. They're not bad, Dan Carroll.

202
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 2: These people are out here doing their job. Now, are

203
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 2: there mistakes? Yes, are people caught up in the drag

204
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 2: net at sometimes yes, that's true, But our system has

205
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 2: to sort that out. But the reality of it is,

206
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 2: if you came into the country illegally, you came in

207
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 2: here illegally. This notion that you didn't break the law.

208
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 2: If you ask Democrats, coming into the country for them

209
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 2: is not illegal. It is illegal. If you come into

210
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 2: our country illegally, you've already broken the law. So then

211
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 2: when you get behind a car, you're drinking, you're driving,

212
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 2: and you kill an American family, We're gonna deport you.

213
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 2: We're gonna prosecute you and deport you. I don't understand why,

214
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 2: in your initial comment to me, why that's not common

215
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 2: ground for every single American in this country. I don't

216
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 2: understand it. Evil.

217
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know in law locally, when I see

218
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: these high school kids walking out of turp In High school,

219
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: they walked down a walna and it surprised me a

220
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: little bit. Wanta Hill's High School fell for this hook

221
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: line and sinker. They had a walk out. Princeton High

222
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 1: School just last week, had kids walk out and they

223
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: and they talk about how they're anti ice and they

224
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: don't want ice rounding up immigrants, and I wonder how

225
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: much they really know about these issues. And when you

226
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: listen to them speak, it turns out all they're doing

227
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 1: is just repeating the same DNC talking points on this

228
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: that you can hear just about anywhere. And it doesn't

229
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: seem like they're really getting an education on this at

230
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: all and getting the full story, which they should be

231
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,839
Speaker 1: getting if they would stay in class. Chris, you got

232
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 1: time for one more segment, right, all right? Stay right there.

233
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: We'll get to a quick break and continue on with

234
00:12:53,280 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: chrispin on seven on fifty five KRS Detalk Station seven

235
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 1: thirty nine. On this Monday morning, we continue our conversation

236
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: with Chris Smithman and the smith Event and Chris. Today

237
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: the Inquirer has a piece about the police chief. What's

238
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: happening with the investigation. That's a city Halls act, a

239
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,359
Speaker 1: black hole of information as far as that is concerned.

240
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: Signal ninety nine laid out what happened over the weekend

241
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. A bloody twenty four hours and early morning

242
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: shooting on Saturday morning on a bus left a driver dead,

243
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: a man shot in the face on Greenwood Avenue, a

244
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: seventeen year old shot on Hawaiian terraced. Then we had

245
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: the shooting that left too dead at a at a

246
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: North Side establishment. So it appears that we are two

247
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: months into the new year and things are status quo

248
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: unfortunately at city Hall.

249
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 2: And I see, you know Signal ninety nine is correct.

250
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 3: I mean this is happening in the winter, imagine as

251
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 3: things warm up and we moved it to the and

252
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 3: again we have elections have consequences, Dan Carroll, and you've

253
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,439
Speaker 3: got a council down there that they do not support

254
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 3: the police department.

255
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 2: We're talking nine of them collectively. We've got a mayor

256
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 2: who does not support the police department, and so they

257
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 2: don't feel supported. They know that if they have a

258
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 2: critical incident out here that this council and this mayor

259
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 2: and this administration is going to throw them under the bus.

260
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 2: And so we're going to have chaos in our streets.

261
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 2: And it's why so many citizens are staying home. It's

262
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 2: better just to cook at home, watch a movie at home.

263
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 2: You know, when you speak about what happened at the

264
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 2: North Side, Dan Carroll, that's a mass shooting. Right, four

265
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 2: people being shot is a mass shooting. That's a mass shooting.

266
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 2: We had a mass shooting this weekend in Cincinnati. That's reality.

267
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 2: And then all the other shootings you had on a bus,

268
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 2: these people shot in the face and all of that

269
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 2: kind of stuff. Now, when you say all of that,

270
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 2: you know what's so crazy is it doesn't even deal

271
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 2: with the car that were broken into, the people that

272
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 2: were assaulted, the people that were stabbed. I mean, there's

273
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 2: also this other underbelly of things that are happening. We

274
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 2: only talk about the shootings, but they're burglaries that are

275
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 2: happening out here. You've got windows being broken out of cars,

276
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 2: and people's cars are being stolen all over the city

277
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 2: of Cincinnati. And we've got a mayor and a council

278
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 2: passing resolutions about ice and things that are happening in

279
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 2: US in Minnesota, which is none of their dog on business.

280
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 2: And so they're so distracted on these matters, and what

281
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 2: they're all trying to do is run for other things,

282
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 2: Dan Carroll. You've got a mayor who wants he knows

283
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 2: he's turned out. He's thinking about his next move, so

284
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 2: he wants a grand stand to the base. You've got

285
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 2: nine members of council. You got them out there running

286
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 2: for other offices right now as they are members of council.

287
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 2: They're grand standing on other issues, and they're completely distracted

288
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 2: about the city business, Dan Carroll. And the sad part

289
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 2: about it is, as we're in Black History Month, most

290
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 2: of those people being shot are African Americans. That's the

291
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 2: crazy thing about it. It has nothing to do with guns.

292
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 2: It has everything to do with culture. It has everything

293
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 2: to do with broken families, it has everything to do

294
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 2: with fatherless homes. It has everything to do with being

295
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 2: absent from your families and taking care of your business,

296
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 2: and governments can't solve this. That's why we need the

297
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 2: police department out there doing proactive policing, making sure that

298
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 2: they're stopping cars and feeling like they are not going

299
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 2: to be murdered because traffic stops aren't normal. There are

300
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 2: no normal traffic stops anymore in America. These windows are tenant.

301
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 2: You don't know what's going on in the back of

302
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 2: that car, and an officer saying, I get to go

303
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 2: home to my wife and my kids, just like everybody else,

304
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 2: Dan Carolyn. So the reality of it is when you

305
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 2: have an anti cop council and anti cop mayor, as

306
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 2: you have an anti cop administration, you have mayhem in

307
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 2: the streets. That's why you have people saying Cincinnati has

308
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:02,359
Speaker 2: got them city. Now, why with someone come to downtown Cincinnati.

309
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 2: I respect those businesses that are in downtown Cincinnati, but

310
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 2: I'm not willing to risk my life and I'm not

311
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 2: willing to have my fire on take somebody else's life

312
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 2: and ruin my own life. So people are avoiding our

313
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 2: core right now, and if our core is dying, the

314
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 2: city is dying, and we have a mayor and a

315
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,719
Speaker 2: council absolutely not interested in fixing the problem.

316
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think you make a good point when

317
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 1: you talk about a mayor who is turning. If I'm

318
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: not mistaken, he is term limited out. So this is

319
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: the last time that Aftab Purval is going to be

320
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: serving a term as mayor of Cincinnati. And all indicators

321
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: are is that he is occupying his time looking for

322
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: whatever his next position is going to be. So does

323
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: that mean that the city of Cincinnati, that the business

324
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 1: of the people of Cincinnati sort of gets put on

325
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: his back burner and that he's got more pressing issues

326
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:54,479
Speaker 1: to attend to.

327
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 2: Yes, that's why you see him on CNN. That's why

328
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 2: he was on CNN. That's why you'll see him on MSNBC.

329
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 2: This guy is interested in running national he wants to

330
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 2: be on somebody's ticket. He's trying to figure out what

331
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 2: his next move is. And then the nine members of

332
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 2: counselor are grand standing on who's going to be the

333
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 2: next mayor. So they're all down there pivoting for the

334
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 2: next step, the next election, the who's going to be

335
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 2: the next mayor. They are not focused on our city

336
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 2: and I will tell you, Look, the most important business

337
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 2: of any mayor is keeping us safe. There's nothing more important.

338
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 2: I don't think if you, if you survey all the neighborhoods,

339
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 2: what's your number one issue? Being safe? They are absent

340
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 2: on the number one issue, meaning fire and police. I

341
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 2: want to make sure that if I have a fire,

342
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 2: or my loved one is having a heart attack, I've

343
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 2: got EMS or a firefighter to respond. Or if there's

344
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 2: an if there's an active shooter, or there something critical

345
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 2: happening in my life and I called nine to one one,

346
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 2: I want to make sure that someone calls. How do

347
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 2: we have nine to one one call center? Any employee

348
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 2: posting up where ICE people are on Facebook? That's insane?

349
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 2: You know this active? How does that happen, Dad Carroll?

350
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 2: Where somebody working over at the nine one one call

351
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 2: center is posting on Facebook? Hey, ICE is over on

352
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 2: the west side of town. Avoid it. If they're in

353
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 2: our city community and ICE is looking for someone, please

354
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 2: listen closely. They're looking for a gang member, they're looking

355
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 2: for a rapist. They're looking for somebody who has broken

356
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 2: the law, even beyond breaking into our country. These are

357
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 2: bad people that they're looking for. Why would a nine

358
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 2: to one one call center employee put out where ICE

359
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 2: is going trying to get the bad people? You know why?

360
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 2: Because they support criminals more than they support anybody else.

361
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 2: Is these are this is a party right now who

362
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 2: I don't even recognize, who puts criminals before law abiding

363
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 2: American citizens. That's why you have victims that have been

364
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 2: murdered out here that they don't talk about, they don't

365
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,679
Speaker 2: march about, they don't protest about. Meaning you have somebody

366
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 2: in our country illegally that murders somebody. You don't hear

367
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 2: about that from those who protest. What you hear about

368
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 2: is a pedophile that the ICE agent is pulling out

369
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 2: of a house as you have protesters on the outside

370
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 2: saying Ice, Ice, Ice and blowing a whistle, Dan Carroll,

371
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 2: it doesn't make sense.

372
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: Well, what else doesn't make sense is that you've got

373
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: Tim Walls, the governor of Minnesota, talking about how the

374
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 1: Trump administration in Washington, DC needs to cut a check

375
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: to Minnesota to pay for what they broke, when it

376
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: was the governor and the mayor of Minneapolis who were

377
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: encouraging these people to be out on the streets and

378
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: engage in the activity that they engaged in. How is

379
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: that the responsibility of Donald Trump or the Trump administration

380
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 1: to now send a check to make Minneapolis hole.

381
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 3: It doesn't make it doesn't make any sense. But when

382
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 3: you see Cincinnati giving out eight point one million dollars

383
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 3: to protesters, right, that'll get your blood boiling, right, Or

384
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 3: giving one point something million of dollars to someone who

385
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 3: had a gun. When a nine to one one caller

386
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 3: called and said, hey, police respond, Hey, how they entered

387
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 3: the house? My thought was, it's a nine to one

388
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 3: one caller called in said there's something urgent. You don't

389
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 3: have to have a search warrant to enter that house.

390
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 3: This is all down. Here's what I tell to the community.

391
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 3: Why won't counsel put twelve in the box? I want

392
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 3: jury trials here, I want to. I want to I

393
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 3: want a jury of my peers to give a point

394
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 3: one million. You know why they don't do that because

395
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 3: they know there's not a jury in our region that

396
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 3: would have given those protesters a dime. They also know

397
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 3: that there's there's no jury in this dog gone region

398
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 3: that would give that person who had a gun one

399
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 3: point four or one point two million dollars. So all

400
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 3: of this is is a council and a mayor and

401
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 3: an administration that is attempting to reward criminals for bad behavior.

402
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 3: I want to reiterate when we talk about Black History

403
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 3: Months right now, the best thing that we can do.

404
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 3: Dedicate ourself to education, Dedicate ourselves to excellence, Dedicate ourselves

405
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 3: to our families, dedicate ourselves to our women, dedicate ourselves

406
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 3: to our fathers. Focus on our families, and handle our business.

407
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 3: Get up every day, go to work, participating your four

408
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 3: to one K plans.

409
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 2: Invest in your life, save your money, work two jobs

410
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 2: if you have to, in order for you to put

411
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 2: a down payment on a house, which is still the

412
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 2: greatest way to build wealth in America, and stabilize yourself.

413
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 2: These are the conversations that we need to be having

414
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 2: in the black community, not whether the Democrats are trying

415
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 2: to push on us. Dan Carrol that we some way

416
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 2: should be scared of the boogeyman because the Republicans are

417
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 2: saying you need a state ID or a driver's license

418
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 2: to vote in a legal election in a democracy. I

419
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 2: want to know at the end of the election, as

420
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 2: doctor King wanted to know that the election was fair

421
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 2: and transparent, and the only way you do that is

422
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 2: that you have legal people participating in the dog one election.

423
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 2: Why do the Democrats keep pushing this crap onto the

424
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 2: African American community active as if we do not have identification.

425
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,199
Speaker 2: I want to tell everybody listening to this, African Americans

426
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 2: have nothing to do with this. We have driver's license,

427
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 2: we have state IDs, We get up every day and

428
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 2: go to work. We are working our butts off like

429
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 2: any other Americans. Stop listening to these liberal Democrats in Washington,

430
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 2: DC that are trying to tell you otherwise.

431
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 1: Well, I would argue that filling out your average tax

432
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: return is a hell of a lot more complicated than

433
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,199
Speaker 1: being able to secure a birth certificate or documentation that

434
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: you're an American citizen. But yet the government fully expects

435
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: you to comply with that, because after all, that keeps

436
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: the money flowing in. Chris Smitherman, we got to run

437
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: as always appreciate the time. If people want to follow

438

Speaker 2: Please call? Please follow me at vote Smitherman. That's really

440
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 2: important because what it does is you get those updates

441
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 2: as I come back on the next Monday. Dan Carrol

442
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 2: thank you so much for having me on.

443
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: Thank you Chris, we'll talk to you again soon, and

444
00:23:58,880 --> 00:23:59,479
Speaker 1: as always,
