9
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 2: allowing me to have some what I would say, even therapy.

Speaker 2: Once a week I can share with you and the

11

Speaker 2: for me, and I don't have to burden you know,

13
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 2: my dear friends around me. I can just give it,

Speaker 2: give it to you and the rest of the world. Brother.

15
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 2: So you just sit back on the couch and look

16
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 2: at me.

17
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: Put my feet up, and let you go hey real quick.

18
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: Herefore you dive in what's what's burning in your head

19
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: and what's causing your spleen to be invented. You have

20
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: some good plans for Thanksgiving. I mean, you have such

21
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: a big family, and I can envision the Smithman family

22
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: gather around and enjoying each other's fellowship and some great

23
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: times on thanks if you have something good plan.

24
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, thirty years, thirty five years or so, we've been

25
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: doing the same things brother in thirty five years, and

26
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 2: we get together with my oldest brother. So our whole

27
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 2: family does not get together for Thanksgiving. People are in

28
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,639
Speaker 2: different places, and so I won't have all my kids.

29
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 2: They have their significant others or other things that they're doing.

30
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 2: But I'll have some of them. And that's all cool, man,

31
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 2: you know, It's just a part of life and rotating.

32
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: But I've always been these thirty five years, I've been

33
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 2: with my oldest brother, and so that's what we'll do.

34
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 2: We'll sit down and have some turkey.

35
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: That's great.

36
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: I want to share. I want to share with you brother,

37
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 2: as I wish happy Thanksgiving to you and everybody. What

38
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 2: happened in Chicago when they were putting up a Christmas tree.

39
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 2: And I'm going to tie it to Cincinnati. Okay, we

40
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 2: as a city in Cincinnati are moving towards Chicago if

41
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: we're not already there per cap per population, as far

42
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: as violence is concerned. But they are just too many

43
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 2: things that are paralleling here that I just want to

44
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 2: raise some attention. You can't even go into the heart

45
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 2: of Chicago with the raising of their Christmas tree and

46
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 2: not deal with a mass shooting. That's when you know

47
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: your city is completely off the rails. You have a

48
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 2: democratic mayor, you have a democratic council, you have a

49
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 2: democratic school board, right, and you have criminals in Chicago

50
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 2: that are being cradled by the electeds, and they are

51
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: neutering and have been neutering their police department with the reimagination,

52
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 2: with the defund the cops, and what you have is

53
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 2: a city that is completely out of control. And the

54
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 2: saddest thing is that those who are experiencing the violence

55
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: are African Americans. Forgot Americans are being murdered or shot

56
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 2: or made We don't hear about those people who are paralyzed, right.

57
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 2: We don't hear about the person who was shot and

58
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 2: had to be put back together like the bonic man.

59
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 2: I used to watch that as a kid. We don't

60
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,119
Speaker 2: hear about those people. We just hear about those who

61
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: are dead. But we don't understand the horrific life that

62
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: people are living in these urban courts, and it is

63
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 2: coming and has arrived at the doorsteps of Cincinnati. I

64
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 2: continue to wake up and hear in our OTR in

65
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: the core of our city shootings a mass shooting by

66
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 2: the FBI four or more. We had three shot in OTR.

67
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: We were one short from the definition of a mass

68
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: shooting in our downtown right by the same bar that

69
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: we all know is a problem that city council and

70
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: this mayor and this manager refuse to deal with. And

71
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: the people that are dying around us are African American

72
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 2: males who are being murdered every single or every other

73
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: day or every weekend in our core, in Cincinnati and

74
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: places like Chicago. I would guess that six hundred people

75
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 2: have been shot in Chicago in this year as we

76
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 2: close out the year. Imagine that. Think about your high

77
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 2: school graduating class and think about six hundred people being

78
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 2: shot in one year. These are extraordinary blood baths that

79
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 2: are happening in our core. And to have this mayor,

80
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 2: who happens to be African American to stand up, look

81
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 2: people on the eye in Chicago and say everything is cool,

82
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 2: everything is all right. I got it under control. He

83
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 2: has nothing under control. He does not care about African

84
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 2: American life. I am concerned about this mayor and this council.

85
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 2: My voice will continue the weigh in that they don't

86
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 2: care about the violence, because if they cared about it,

87
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 2: they'd be doing something different. They wouldn't be holding and

88
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 2: coddling our cops. They let them do their jobs, they

89
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 2: let them do proactive policing. They wouldn't be talking about, oh,

90
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: we cannot do community based policing and proactive policing at

91
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 2: the same time when every time I turn on my

92
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 2: dog on a TV, I'm looking at almost a mass

93
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 2: shooting every single weekend in our downtown. Here's the closure

94
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 2: closing on this one. Guess what that area not everybody

95
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 2: overwhelmingly voted for this council and this mayor in OTR.

96
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 2: So guess what. Elections have consequences. And this is what

97
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 2: you get where you continue to vote for these kind

98
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 2: of mayors, these kind of councils, these kind of school boards.

99
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 2: You have failing schools. You have a city that is

100
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 2: violently being coddled by the criminals. The criminals are running.

101
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 2: They're more worried about the criminals than they are the

102
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 2: law abiding citizens, whether you're black or white. Up Cincinnati

103
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 2: and wake up Chicago. But if you continue to vote

104
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: the same way you continue to vote, guess what look

105
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: in the mirror, take your turkey out, eat your Thanksgiving

106
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 2: and don't complain. This is what you'll wanted.

00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: enjoy my conversation with Christopher Smith, and this smither vent

158
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: is what we call the segment every Monday, beginning at

159
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: seven to twenty. Begame for a few and Christopher, whatever

160
00:08:58,679 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: else is on your mind. I got a couple of

161
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: quies this three shot outside the over the Rhine Bar

162
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: of the weekend, and of course this has been a

163
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 1: real problem. The name of the establishment Privy on Elm Street.

164
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: It's been identified as having noise complaints and prior shootings

165
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: outside the establishment. I guess have to ask, you know,

166
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: I'm a little reluctant personally to blame the establishment because

167
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: you know, I'm guessing it's operating during lawful business hours.

168
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: It is not doing something illegal by way of providing

169
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: you know, unlawful substances or you know, a criminal. I

170
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on in there, But is it

171
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: the bar that's the problem. Seems to me it's the

172
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 1: people that either hang out in the bar and then

173
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: go out and commit crimes after they leave it, or

174
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 1: the people hanging outside the bar and maybe not even

175
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: going in that are causing the problems. But I mean,

176
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: are we right in looking at the bar as the

177
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: source of the problem or is it really and I

178
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: think it more fundamentally boils down to it's people that

179
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 1: are the problem.

180
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 2: We are right to look at the bar as the problem.

181
00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 2: They have a responsibility to hire off duty details outside

182
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 2: of that bar at eighty five or one hundred dollars

183
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 2: an hour, whatever they need to do to make sure

184
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 2: if they are attracting that population with whatever they're doing.

185
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 2: They have a responsibility to make sure everybody around there

186
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 2: is safe. So whatever you're doing right. The problem is

187
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 2: if you've got to hire three or four officers out there.

188
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 2: But no, they're not going to do that because they

189
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 2: don't want their margins. They don't want to pay two

190
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 2: or three thousand dollars whatever it takes in order to

191
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 2: make sure that people are saying so, yes, I think

192
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 2: they are respired. I don't think they say, well, they

193
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 2: left my bar, and whatever they were doing in the bar,

194
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 2: they go out of the bar is no longer my responsibility.

195
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 2: I want to see heavy off duty details. I would

196
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 2: have already had a plan in place with the establishment.

197
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 2: I would have voted for it on the floor of council.

198
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 2: So we sat, we met, We put together a community

199
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 2: plan and action plan, which at the top of it

200
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 2: would be hiring off duty details. Wouldn't matter to me

201
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 2: whether they were Cincinnati police or sheriffs to make sure

202
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 2: that as their bar let out. I would say, there's

203
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 2: so many people that have invested so much money around there,

204
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 2: they're living there, those are their homes. That is what

205
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 2: the city council wanted. So the people are pouring out

206
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 2: and then shots are fired. You're in your bedroom or

207
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 2: you're hosting somebody in your living room, you're watching and

208
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 2: bullets are flying through your dog on window. So yes,

209
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 2: I think that that owner, whoever it is, I don't

210
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 2: know who it is. I'm not connected. I'm not even

211
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 2: trying to find out at this point. I'm just sharing

212
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 2: with you. City council and this mayor continue to have

213
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 2: the same problem over and over again. And I bet you,

214
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 2: if you and I look into this establishment, in some

215
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 2: way they're connected to this council. Oh really, I don't

216
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 2: know that. I bet you in some way they are

217
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 2: connected through some type of relationship financially making contributions to

218
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 2: the campaign. I don't know this for sure. I'm just

219
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 2: saying I've been around a long time. Guy. You don't

220
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 2: have an establishment like this where you constantly have the

221
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 2: same problem every single weekend and then all of a sudden,

222
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 2: city council and the mayor are saying nothing about it.

223
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 2: There's something going on politically between these Democrats and whoever

224
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 2: owns this establishment. They're all connected. It's one big, happy family,

225
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 2: is my speculation. And they care more about the criminals,

226
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 2: the owner, and not the people that are living down there.

227
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 2: Brian Thomas, that's the ugly truth.

228
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just seems strange that. You know, how is

229
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: it that this particular establishment is the one that draws

230
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: the criminal element?

231
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know, brother, It's not my bars,

232
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 2: not my establishment. But guess what. All the people in OTR,

233
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 2: not all of them, voted for this council, but it's

234
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 2: very blue. And we go back and say, elections have consequences.

235
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 2: They were complaining about this before the election. They went

236
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 2: in overwhelmingly as a community and voted for this mayor,

237
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 2: this council and this manager and this administration. And you

238
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 2: get what you vote for. It's not that I'm upset

239
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 2: or frustrated. It's your life. Yeah, And so if you

240
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 2: want to go down and continue to vote for the

241
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 2: same people, guess what, you're to get the same results.

242
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 2: All right. But since, man, here's what I want to

243
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 2: talk about, go ahead, go ahead.

244
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: Now, I'm just gonna say, since we don't have an

245
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: upcoming election, we got to wait a little bit for

246
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 1: that next one to show up and give people an alternative.

247
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: Whether or not they choose a different path remains to

248
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: be seen because we've been down this road before. But

249
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: there is something that the citizenry can do in spite

250
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: of who they voted for, is organize and do like

251
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: a Hyde Park Uprising City council does one thing. The

252
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: residents of Hyde Park say, damn it, there is no

253
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: way we're going to abide by the zoning thing. We're

254
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: going to get a petition on the ballot. We're going

255
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: to go after them. That seemed to have worked. So

256
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: you know, if you're really worried and angry about crime,

257
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: elevating that to that kind of level, maybe the way

258
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: to go and force the administration to do something the

259
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: otherwise might not do. That seems to be the only

260
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 1: recourse right now. Christopher Well, I.

261
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 2: Would say that after the election, that's all they have left.

262
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 2: They had an election, right yeah, and that is where

263
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 2: the that's where you actually do that work. What they

264
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 2: did was they affirmed the direction of the mayor and

265
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 2: the council and said we like the direction. You don't

266
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 2: get eighty five ninety percent of the vote in an

267
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 2: area and walk away going I'm doing a bad job.

268
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 2: The mayor like raising your children. If you continue, you say,

269
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 2: hey man, I'm going to reward the bad behavior, which

270
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 2: is what they did. The child continues to do exactly

271
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 2: what they were doing, and so there's no motivation. This

272
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 2: mayor is what we call in the college world, a

273
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 2: tenured member of the institution. He's never going to run

274
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 2: for mayor again. He got four years. He is termed out.

275
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 2: He can do whatever the heck he wants. It makes

276
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 2: him even more dangerous because he's not even thinking about

277
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 2: the city. He wasn't thinking about it four years ago

278
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 2: and he's not really not thinking about it now. Let

279
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 2: me say this to you, brother, these Epstein files nationally

280
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 2: that are coming out. I'm a person as an independent.

281
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: You're changing topics. So let's just pause because we're out

282
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: of you. Pass the break. We'll let you start on

283
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: that one. We come back more with Christopher Smithman on Fire.

284
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: He is at seven thirty six right now. If you

285
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: have KERCD talk station.

286
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 2: This is fifty five karc an iHeartRadio station LBL long.

287
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: Seven thirty nine. Here can about kerr CD talk station.

288
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas with Christopher Smithman. I mean interrupt you as

289
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: you're getting ready to go on another train of thought,

290
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: but I thought since the subject was moving over to

291
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: the Epstein file, so I did just go ahead and

292
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: take that much need to break Christopher, So you have

293
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: the floor back, have at it, my friend.

294
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 2: Look, man, anybody who's out having sex with minor children,

295
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 2: you're a pedophile, yep. And I want to know who

296
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 2: you are. I don't care what your political affiliation is.

297
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 2: I don't care how old you were when you did it.

298
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 2: When you're having sex with twelve and thirteen and fourteen

299
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 2: year old girls and boys, you're set on an island.

300
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 2: You're sick, right, And we've got to own this as

301
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 2: a community, and we want to out anybody and everybody.

302
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter how much money they have, or what

303
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 2: their power is, or what they're doing. And so what

304
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 2: you see on both sides of the aisle, Republicans and

305
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 2: Democrats are out there trying to protect the elites. That

306
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 2: is what I believe is happening. And so I'm not

307
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 2: speculating who's on the list, but I can tell you,

308
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 2: as the Democrats were saying, all we've got to have

309
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 2: this released, I want to say a couple of things

310
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 2: about it. So we're real clear. President Biden and his

311
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 2: administration could have released this information during his term yep period,

312
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 2: and he didn't. He didn't do it for a reason.

313
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 2: So this outcry by the Democrats is all fake, right,

314
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 2: But guess what I think the Trump administration did the

315
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 2: rope dope on on the Democrats saying, Okay, you guys,

316
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 2: I don't know if I want to, I don't know

317
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 2: this for sure. But Epstein was a Democrat. Epstein was

318
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 2: a financer of the Democratic machine. That's where he spent

319
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 2: his money public. Right, So you're gonna find disproportionately most

320
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 2: likely his friends are what democrats. The first person when

321
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 2: the Epstein vote happened in Congress was Larry Summers. Who

322
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 2: is Larry Summers. Larry Summers is the former treasurer under

323
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 2: Clinton and Obama, very powerful person, former president of Harvard University,

324
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 2: and current faculty member at Harvard University, and he sat

325
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 2: on some AI board on some publicly traded company. As

326
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 2: soon as that vote happened, Larry Summers resigned a Democrat.

327
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 2: Notice how the major news outlets, whether CNN or MSNBC,

328
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 2: really didn't deal with it. Right, We're no different than Russia.

329
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 2: Our media isn't telling this truth. They hide. Information in

330
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 2: politics is not just what you say, it's what you

331
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 2: don't say. So there are a lot of people right

332
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 2: now who are listening to you and I talk or

333
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 2: who is Larry Sommers? Larry Summers resigned related to the

334
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,360
Speaker 2: Epstein files. Yes he did. Harvard has launched an investigation

335
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 2: to try to figure out what his involvement was with

336
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,479
Speaker 2: Epstein and why he said I'm gonna sell didn't It

337
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 2: wasn't like his information came out as soon as the

338
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 2: vote happened that I'm out. Now. This is a guy

339
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 2: who's been very vocal on CNN, on MSNBC. He's been

340
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 2: going after the Trump administration for a year, for the

341
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 2: last ten years, he's the first person to resign. I'm

342
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 2: sharing with everybody, hold your power. Let's wait and see

343
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 2: as a public no matter whether you're a Democrat or Republican,

344
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 2: Please don't make this partisan. We have got to know

345
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 2: what happened with these pedophiles who are out having sex

346
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 2: with twelve and thirteen and fourteen year old girls. This

347
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 2: is something that we deserve to know. I want to know.

348
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: I agree completely and look what the discharge petition is.

349
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: It almost was completely unanimous across both the House and

350
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 1: the Senate when it finally pushed came to show everybody,

351
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: with the exception of one representative voted to release the

352
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: damned documents. Interesting question for you, Christopher Smith Aman, what

353
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: the hell's with Trump changing his mind? You're right, Democrats

354
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: had four years to release these documents. They obviously didn't

355
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: want to do it. We all kind of wondered, I wonder,

356
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: what's in them that the Democrats are afraid to release them?

357
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: Pivot over to Trump campaigning on releasing them, only to say, nah,

358
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,959
Speaker 1: there's nothing there. The OJ looked at it. There's nothing there,

359
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: there's no list, there's nothing to see, there's nothing to release.

360
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: Where did that come from?

361
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 2: And of course I think that he I think he

362
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 2: has friends that are on that I'm on that list.

363
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 2: He's a New Yorker. Wouldn't he have known?

364
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you have known that when he was saying he

365
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: wanted to release him I mean, his buddy's calling him up, saying,

366
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: quit campaigning on releasing these documents. You know, damn well,

367
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: my name's in there. You're gonna get me and in

368
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: a controversy. And I never touched the fourteen year old

369
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: or whatever.

370
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, the reality of it is they didn't know whether

371
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 2: he was going to be elected, and so many people

372
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 2: didn't even see the landslide that was coming in the

373
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 2: last election. So he's out there saying I'm gonna do this,

374
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do this, and then

375
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 2: he got elected and so I don't know all of

376
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 2: the details around it, but my speculation is that some

377
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 2: of his allies are on this list and they're Democrats,

378
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 2: are Republicans, and both Biden and Trump were trying to

379
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 2: protect the list. What I want to also say, and

380
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go into this with Trump and just say,

381
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 2: I don't know who this representative Marjorie Taylor Green is,

382
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 2: and the woman who was saying, hey, I want these

383
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 2: Epstein files to come out, I just know that she

384
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 2: was an ally of his. It was something she was saying.

385
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 2: And I don't understand why President Trump then turns and

386
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 2: starts attacking her. I think that's where you're getting to.

387
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 2: That was a part of the narrative, right, and so

388
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 2: you try to destroy her, you say all these horrible

389
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 2: things about her. She's been loyal to you. So if

390
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 2: somebody stands up and they're loyal to Trump, and Trump

391
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 2: can just turn on a dime and just say no,

392
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,199
Speaker 2: you've lost your way. I'm going to try to destroy you.

393
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 2: I don't know what that is about his emotional intelligence,

394
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 2: but I can tell you it is incredibly frustrating for

395
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 2: me for any president. Look, whoever gets elected, whether it's Obama,

396
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 2: whether it's Clinton, you know, whether it's a Trump, whether

397
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 2: it's Bush, I'm voting for America. I'm voting for our

398
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 2: executive to be successful in this world. Right. This world

399
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 2: is very ugly. We've got some bad characters out here,

400
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 2: and I'm rooting for America, whether it's a Democrat or

401
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 2: Republican in that office. I don't understand this president at times,

402
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 2: with his emotional intelligence so low, that he's so emotionally

403
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 2: charged that whatever comes to that brain of is, he

404
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 2: just starts opening up his mouth. And whether you're a

405
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 2: supporter of Trump or not, be willing to call this

406
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 2: president out when he lacks discipline with that mouth.

407
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: I agree. You went after Congressman Massey again too, the

408
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 1: same thing, beloved congress from Massey folks in northern Kentucky.

409
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: I mean, they keep voting him in regardless of what

410
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: Trump says. I mean he Donald Trump spends and these

411
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 1: other millionaires, billionaires spending all kinds of money trying to

412
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: primary Thomas Massey. Why because Thomas Massey was behind the

413
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: discharge petition, among others. I mean, he's at least on

414
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: solid constitutional ground with what he says. Is there uniformity

415
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: in the Republican Party, of course not? Is there uniformity

416
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: in the Democrat Party, of course not. They didn't even

417
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: know which direction they want to go. There's a lot

418
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 1: of different stripes within each party. And you know, I

419
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: would argue that Marjorie Taylor Green, I think had some

420
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: sound points she was making. I'm a little upset about

421
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: him focusing on foreign policy. I'd like for him to

422
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: be here and focus on domestic issues. I was behind

423
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 1: releasing the Epstein files, and that apparently is what set

424
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: Trump off, and he had some outrages and outlandish statements

425
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: about her. And I agree with the points you're making

426
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: on that. But does he expect one hundred percent fidelity

427
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: among the Republicans for the Trump specific agenda? And I

428
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: think that's what he is demonstrating by going after tailor

429
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Green, going after Congress from asking others, promising

430
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: the primary them if they get out of line. YO,

431
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 1: this feeds into that whole dictatorial narrative. The Democrats are peddling.

432
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a good look. Honestly, I don't.

433
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 2: And I'm a girl dad. You know, four boys, rum girl.

434
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,360
Speaker 2: If this was one of my babies, right, I want

435
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 2: to get to the bottom of it. I want people

436
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 2: to go to jail. And I think sometimes as men, right,

437
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 2: we missed the point of Marjorie Taylor Green is a woman.

438
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 2: She's saying, I want to get to the bottom of it.

439
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 2: She understands this innately as a woman. This is what

440
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 2: I believe. I'm obviously not a woman. Trump needs to

441
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 2: learn to take advice from everybody around him. He campaigned

442
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 2: on it. He said, this is what I'm gonna do.

443
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 2: She took him literally on his face and did not

444
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 2: understand why he was going in about face about these

445
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 2: Epstein foules. But ultimately, guess what happened. I have to

446
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 2: admit to the power of the people who probably inundated

447
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 2: his office saying what in the heck is going on? Right?

448
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 2: So now he's shutting his mouth about it. But the

449
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 2: woman has already been harmed because she's been saying, I'm

450
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 2: gonna primary you. He's been saying all these outlandish themes

451
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 2: about her, and I'm saying, if you're a Trump supporter,

452
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 2: you cannot support blindly any leader. You've got to be

453
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 2: able to call him out when they're wrong and they're

454
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 2: off step. And I say, right here, he was wrong,

455
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 2: he was off step. And I'm just so frustrated with

456
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 2: why his emotional intelligence is so low. Why can't he

457
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 2: just preside as the president. You're the president of the

458
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 2: free world, act.

459
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 1: Like it, Christopher Smithman. Always enjoy your thoughts and comments.

460
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,600
