Speaker 1: So twenty one on a Monday, is that time. Always

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: look forward to Monday's at this time because it gets

3
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: talked to the former Vice many of the city. Since

4
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 1: I soon to be counselman again, I'm praying and I'm

5
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: hoping the City of Cincinnati residents show up in for

6
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: us to vote for at least Christopher Smithman for council

7
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: next Tuesday. Welcome back, Christopher. It's pleasure having you on

8
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: as always.

9
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 2: Oh, thank you so much for having me on. Just

10
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 2: to share with you, my voice is a little shanky,

11
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 2: a little weak, but that's just because we're working really hard,

12
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 2: a lot of doorder door work. But let me share

13
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 2: this with you. Brian, First, thank you for acknowledging the

14
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 2: work that council Member good And and I were doing pre

15
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 2: emptim being preemptive of what you're talking about. Meeting, we

16
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 2: saw the decline and police officers. This is what is

17
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 2: very important for your listening audience to digest. This is

18
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: a defund reimagine as a collective council. So they're not

19
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 2: interested in getting more officers because through attrition, being silent

20
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: on the issue, they're getting what they want. They want

21
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: fewer officers. They want counselors responding to nine to one

22
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 2: one calls, and clearly they've been sitting the message that

23
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 2: they don't support cops. And so we've seen this going

24
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 2: on over the last four years with his mayor, we've

25
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: seen it with the members of council, and so none

26
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 2: of us should be surprised. I just want you to

27
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 2: know that they don't have to tell you it. They're

28
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 2: just allowing attrition to get them where they wanted to be,

29
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: which was defund in their minds. Reimagine higher consultants, higher

30
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,919
Speaker 2: counselors for nine one one calls and really just undermine

31
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 2: our law enforcement. And what has happened as a result

32
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: of that is we've see longer times response times for

33
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 2: our officers to get to you when you need when

34
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 2: you need help. We've seen youth take over our downtown

35
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: right where officers we don't have enough officers, and then

36
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 2: those officers that are there are really being told not

37
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 2: to do proactive policing, don't ask questions. This mayor has

38
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 2: just discovered in the last two weeks law enforcement notice

39
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 2: that he's saying, man, now it's the police chief. She

40
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: has become the scapegoat for his failure and this city

41
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 2: manager who is the CEO. So the reality of it

42
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: is is this has been a councilor sighters really appreciate

43
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: you highlighting that. Council Member Good and I were trying

44
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 2: to get ahead of what you see now with attrition

45
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 2: with our officers.

46
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: And it's worse now than it was when you introduce

47
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: the motion to allocate the funds to hire police officers,

48
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: isn't it it is?

49
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 2: I mean, we lost more than that's happening? Is we

50
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 2: have because our officers are in drop. Two hundred of

51
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 2: them are saying I want to retire. I know they

52
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: can retire right now to the community. We can go

53
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 2: from nine thirty to seven hundred and thirty overnight. Yep.

54
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 2: They can all walk away if they want to. And

55
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 2: if we keep harassing them and not allowing them to

56
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 2: do their job and not supporting them, you're going to

57
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 2: see a high attrition. You're going to see me if

58
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 2: God puts me in a position to be elected, you're

59
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 2: going to see me immediately focus on retention. How do

60
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 2: we retain those two hundred officers that are in drop

61
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 2: because we need them to help train the new officers

62
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 2: that we're bringing in We don't want to just have

63
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 2: a young police force. I need those older trained officers

64
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: to do those that six months of training that's so

65
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: important for our officers. So this is a scary time community.

66
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 2: I'm hoping that citizens across the fifty two neighborhoods are

67
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 2: really thinking and they're voting right like their lives dependent

68
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 2: upon it, because we're seeing that it really does. Here's

69
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 2: the good news, Brian Thomas, you are really loved in

70
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 2: this community. I knock on doors and I'm not just

71
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: like shining light on you a way just to say it.

72
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: It's the truth. You know. Whether I'm in Oakley, which

73
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 2: I was yesterday, I had a woman and she's listening.

74
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 2: She said, I always listen to Brian Thomas. And she

75
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: now has moved, I believe, to Tennessee, but she was

76
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: here visiting her son in Oakley. She took my literature.

77
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 2: She said, I always listen to Brian Thomas. I'm going

78
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 2: to take your literature into the house. Tell my son

79
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 2: that I want him to vote for you. I'm telling you,

80
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 2: I get this kind of I was in Columbia Tusculum.

81
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 2: A couple came out, Oh yeah, I listened to Brian

82
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: Thomas all the time. He makes sense, he has comments

83
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 2: and it doesn't matter where I go. And let me

84
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 2: also tell you one other thing, this notion that African

85
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 2: Americans who live in our city aren't listening to your

86
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: show because they're saying the same thing. Right. So the

87
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,559
Speaker 2: reality of it is we just have to do better

88
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,559
Speaker 2: with participation because right now I've been told that only

89
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 2: seven one hundred people have voted. If that's true true,

90
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 2: that is a dismal number. Community. We've got to do better.

91
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 2: We can't just talk our way out of this. Love

92
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 2: is a verb, And if we really want to change

93
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 2: things down in city Hall, we really want to change

94
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: what's happening in the mayor's office, you gotta hear my voice,

95
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 2: you gotta hear Brian Thomas's voice, you gotta hear your

96
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: family and friends, and you got to get out and vote.

97
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 2: If you have somebody that's sick or shut in, somebody

98
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 2: that needs help getting to the ballot to go vote,

99
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 2: that you are obligated to make sure that those kinds

100
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 2: of things happen before the election on November fourth, are

101
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 2: on that day. And the last thing that I know,

102
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: because we're going to break there are so many traditional voters,

103
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 2: voters who do not believe in thirty days. I heard

104
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 2: that on so many doors, whether it's Hyde Park or

105
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 2: Mount Lookout or Mount Washington, they're waiting to vote on

106
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 2: November fourth. If that happens, we're going to see a

107
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 2: major shift in what's happening here on Council. If the

108
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 2: vote turnout continues to be very low and then all

109
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 2: of a sudden on November fourth, you see all the

110
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 2: traditional voters come out and say, you know what, I'm

111
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: going to weigh in on this election because many of

112
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 2: them are registered from the election last year. There's not

113
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 2: an issue of registration, Brian Timas, this is an issue

114
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 2: of participation.

115
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: Amen.

116
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 2: And so you can't talk, You can't show up at

117
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 2: your neighborhood pub and say you're frustrated with what's happening,

118
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 2: and then you don't vote.

119
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: Christopher Smithman couldn't have said it any better. That's typically

120
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: the case. Bring back just a minute, don't go away

121

Speaker 1: station by Thomas with Christopher Smithman vote Smitherman among others.

165
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: I could give you a list of candidates I'd vote

166
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 1: for if I was in the city of Cincinnati, but

167
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: one thing is for certain, I would definitely vote if

168
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: given the opportunity. Christopher, and I don't want to interject,

169
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: but I you've told me that you've knocked on doors

170
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: where people aren't even aware that there's an election next week.

171
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 2: I that's true.

172
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: I just that is mind blowing. That really is just impossible.

173
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 1: That shows that that particular could be voter never ever

174
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: doesn't even watch a local news show. I mean, you

175
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: couldn't watch Fox nineteen or something, and I know there's

176
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: an election coming up at some point, so not even

177
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: that amount of political input is in their life. So

178
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: that's a frightening reality.

179
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is. But the reality is that when I

180
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 2: knock on that door and I talk to the voter.

181
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 2: That's why it's so important to do some of the

182
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 2: door to door work that we do, is it does

183
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 2: inform them. They say thank you to us, thank you

184
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 2: for coming by and reminding, and thank you for personally

185
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 2: being here. It almost shocks them when they open the

186
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 2: door and there's somebody standing on the other side and

187
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 2: they're saying, Hey, my name is Christopher Smitherman, and I'm

188
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 2: here knocking on your door asking you for your vote

189
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 2: and explain what my platform is so that when you

190
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 2: go to the polls, you vote. You're informed at least

191
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 2: about my candidacy. So the good news is it's not

192
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 2: like they're slamming the door going I'm not going to vote.

193
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,599
Speaker 2: It's just that I don't know there's an election. And

194
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 2: some of you been said I don't know who you are,

195
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 2: which is which is a great humbling experience to pop

196
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 2: my little bubble. Hey guy, who are you? Yeah, how

197
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 2: I'd love to hear your story. I view that as

198
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 2: a as a as a as an opportunity because they're

199
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 2: not approaching me with this preconceived notion of who I am.

200
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: That's a good point.

201
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 2: I take that opportunity to share it, you know, and

202
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 2: and then I keep it moving. But your show is

203
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 2: very popular across the city, and I just you know,

204
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 2: just the nice things they say about you and your

205
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 2: show and how they're informed about what is happening in

206
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 2: the news because they don't feel like our local paper,

207
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 2: The Inquirer, does a good job, and so they're searching

208
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 2: for places to get their local news, and you're one

209
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 2: of the places people are turning to. And it's not

210
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 2: just that they're turning to you because you're giving the news.

211
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 2: Here's what I want to say is they trust you.

212
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 2: It's not that you're just giving them the news. Is

213
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 2: they're trusting what you're saying because there's so much distrust

214
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 2: out there about the news that they've been getting over

215
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 2: the last decade. And so it's very very interesting. People

216
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 2: are listening to you for local news. They're not going

217
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 2: to their Sunday paper anymore. They're saying, hey, man, let

218
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 2: me turn this radio station on at five or six

219
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 2: o'clock in the morning as I'm getting ready to figure

220
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 2: out what's going on in my city. Well, and that

221
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 2: is not an exaggeration.

222
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: Well, I sure appreciate it, Christopher. I mean I hear

223
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: that from you, and I hear it in almost absolute disbelief.

224
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: It's a pleasure knowing that you're talking to people who

225
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: listen to the program and trust me. Man, my only

226
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: goal is to search for and try to find truth

227
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: amid all of the what I would characterize as bs

228
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: that's floating around in the world. I want one's best

229
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: for everybody. I really truly do. And I'll be critical

230
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: of you, know me, I'd be critical of you if

231
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: you started running a foul of my log I.

232
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 2: Have been in the past, you have been and always agreed,

233
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 2: and that's what's so healthy and we are good friends.

234
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 2: But here's what I'll also share with you is that

235
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 2: people will say, you give them the facts, then they

236
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 2: can inform, they feel informed. Then you say, hey, okay,

237
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 2: here's my opinion about the fact path right. It's not

238
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 2: like you're like telling them just all your opinions. You're

239
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 2: like saying, here are the facts, here's my opinion about

240
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 2: the facts. What are yours? And I think that's the

241
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 2: difference that people are getting. It's just like that puff

242
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 2: piece that you're talking about that the mayor just wrote,

243
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 2: right and put it in the paper, it's nothing but lies.

244
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 2: You're reading that and you're going, this is nothing but

245
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 2: lies that the mayor has put in the paper as

246
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 2: a puff piece trying to convince. But guess what, because

247
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 2: the news journalism they're either lazy because they're not challenging

248
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 2: what he's written, or they are literally colluding with his

249
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 2: campaign to try to undermine the person he's running against,

250
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 2: Corey Bowman. But it's bad either way. That's why you're

251
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 2: reading that. So we could listen to the hypocrisy and

252
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 2: all the line.

253
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, if someone had a lot to show

254
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: for their administration. This article or this op ed piece

255
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: from Area to have pearlvow would have sounded a hell

256
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,599
Speaker 1: of a lot different. I mean, he could have just

257
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 1: listed one after another all of his major accomplishments that

258
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 1: have happened over the last four years. And all I

259
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: see is, you know, we've you know, we rebuilt trust.

260
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: Did you mean what does that mean? Our goal is

261
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,719
Speaker 1: forty thousand in the units over the next ten years.

262
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: Well wait a second, you haven't built any because he

263
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: did you say, we've already built this many units. Our

264
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: goal We just he just set that goal most recently,

265
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,599
Speaker 1: so I mean again, it's just this. It's almost like

266
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: a dodge or a dodge dib duct, dive and dodge

267
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: kind of five to use a dodgeball kind of thing.

268
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: It sounds like he's actually done something, but it's just

269
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: a fluffy statement. We delivered laying the foundations for a

270
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: city built for the people who make it great. What

271
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: does that mean? What specifically did he do that makes

272
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: the city great for the people who live there. I'm

273
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: sort of it. I'm waiting for it, looking for it.

274
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: I still can't find it, even after reading his own words.

275
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: Will bring Christopher back one more with hopefully soon to

276
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: be again counsel in Christopher Smith. And first after I

277
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: mentioned Keller Williams seven Hills, Peter Schabree Group of Kellorian

278
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: seven Hills, Cincinnat's number one real estate group. They are

279
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: great of what they do. The outstanding agents Peter Shabrie,

280
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:27,560

Speaker 2: He is.

282
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: He has gone around the entire field of real estate

283
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: agents and picked up and grabbed all of them. So

284

Speaker 1: truly hope for the betterment and the good of the city.

328
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: Since nay independent Christopher Smitheman is among any council members

329
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: you select, and remember when voting, only vote for the

330
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: top maybe three, four, maybe five. You don't vote for

331
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: all nine. That way your vote doesn't get watered down,

332
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: right Christopher smiimen.

333
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 2: That is absolutely right. I want to really before I

334
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 2: get off, just talk about again the termination of police

335
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 2: chief fig. It was very it was done in a

336
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 2: very disfunctional way, and to have this is a detail.

337
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 2: Last Wednesday, when all members of council came together after

338
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 2: the termination, this was on Wednesday, not one member of

339
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 2: council said a thing, not a thing, community, how is

340
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 2: your police she fired in this kind of way, and

341
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 2: you don't ask one question. Nobody. It's as silent on

342
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 2: the issue as if it's not happening. This is like

343
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 2: Procter and Gambles CEO is terminated and the border directors

344
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 2: get together and nobody talks about it. Well, if it's

345
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 2: a private company, it's behind closed doors. But this is

346
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 2: a public body, and so the public body, right, there's

347
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 2: a there's a demand for them to speak to the

348
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 2: issue of one of your top directors. Anybody in any

349
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 2: city would say, who are your top directors? Police and fire?

350
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 2: You just terminated your police chief in the most grotesque way,

351
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 2: and not one member of council had a question for anything.

352
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 2: Speak to it, what's happening, reassure us about what's going on. Brian.

353
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 2: This is what is so dysfunctional about having all nine

354
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 2: Democrats a democratic mayor, because you're getting this group think

355
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 2: and this mayor is hurting them. When I say heard,

356
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 2: I'm saying in a figurative way. He's basically saying, hey,

357
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 2: don't say anything about this before the election. We're going

358
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 2: to deal with this after the election. We're going to

359
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 2: pay her a lot of money after the election, because

360
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 2: that's what's going to often ultimately happen. But no reassuring

361
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 2: that they are providing the oversight, that that's why we

362
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 2: elect them to be there.

363
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 1: Well, you're I think you're right in anticipating a check

364
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: will ultimately be written to Police Chief Fiji forget her wrongful.

365
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: You know, administrative lead placement are ultimately firing. We don't

366
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: know which strection it's going to go, but this is

367
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: act number two. They did this to the police chief

368
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: or fire chief Washington. They set themselves up wrongful termination.

369
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: Was that not under our current administration's watch? Christopher?

370
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 2: Yes?

371
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, how about that?

372
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 2: That's the same city managers terminating now the fire chief

373
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 2: and the police chief. And you're telling here's the other

374
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 2: thing members of council could have done this week. Two

375
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 2: members of council could sign a motion to call a

376
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 2: special session of council immediately convenience. It only takes two

377
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 2: you're telling me, out of nine members of council. Community,

378
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 2: with the firing of your police chief, there are two

379
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 2: members of council that are willing to call a special

380
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 2: session to bring the city manager in and say what

381
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 2: is going on? Make it makes sense? Explain it to

382
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 2: us Christ not one, I mean, we don't have two.

383
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: Well, we all know how it's set up. Remember Issue

384
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: five that gave the power of hiring and firing to

385
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 1: the city manager and the mayor exclusively. They are exclusively responsible.

386
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: In other words, they're the two people to home treatment.

387
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 1: Any police chief or any fire chief reports to. They

388
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 1: are their respective bosses. Correct, Okay, they take the directive

389
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: from their bosses, just like we all do out here

390
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: in the real world. We do what our bosses tell

391
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: us to, even if we think it's stupid. This is

392
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: a rethink. Reimagine defund the police administration. Gee, I can

393
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 1: only imagine what direct is purvoal and Long gave to

394
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: Police Chief Diji in the doing of her business or

395
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: her job, and ultimately, within a couple of weeks of

396
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: him standing arm in arm in him praising her and

397
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 1: how great a job that she's been doing for the city,

398
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: ends up placing her an administratively because while things are bad,

399
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: but he just woke up to three out he's been

400
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: telling us for the last three years how crime is

401
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: not a problem, only to wake up right in a

402
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: van to the election to realize maybe the people think

403
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 1: crime is a problem. Maybe crime actually is a problem.

404
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: I gotta find somebody to blame. It must be the

405
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: police chief. She's running the system wrong. Huh okay? And

406
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 1: who's directed was she operating under? Whose instructions was she following?

407
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: It's like, look in the mirror, I have to have

408
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 1: The reason you're firing her is because she was doing

409
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: what you were telling her to do.

410
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 2: Right. There lies a million dollar check they're going to

411
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 2: have to write her, right, and so then you you

412
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 2: insult us by saying you're now going to hire an

413
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 2: outside consultant to bury her. Right. She has nothing in

414
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 2: her record community for thirty five years, nothing in her file.

415
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 2: Think about yourself, any but professional out there who's working.

416
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 2: There's nothing in your file. You've given the institution thirty

417
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 2: five years, and now they're going to hire some outside

418
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:51,360
Speaker 2: person to come in and evaluate her job after Retroact

419
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 2: fired her.

420
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 1: Hindsight's twenty twenty, isn't it, Christopher? Oh look we found

421
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: a skeleton from twenty five years ago. Oh, she should

422
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: have done something, but she did something differently, and so

423
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: in spite of the fact that didn't make it into

424
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: her permanent record and she was a reprimanded otherwise held

425
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: accountable for what she did back then, We're gonna do

426
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: it now. That's a setup for disaster, right there, a

427
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 1: setup for it.

428
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 2: And West Side voters are fired up, buddy, I can

429
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 2: tell you that. Now. I don't know if that translates

430
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 2: to them coming out and participating in the political process

431
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 2: and voting, but I can tell you that places like

432
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 2: Saddamsville and Price Hill, and places like Western Hills, which

433
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 2: is where she went to high school, and Westwood. Look, buddy,

434
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 2: they are fired up and they're watching it. We just

435
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 2: don't know if it's going to translate to that registered

436
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 2: voter actually taking the action and taking five to ten

437
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 2: minutes out of their schedule and coming in voting on

438
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,360
Speaker 2: November the fourth. We don't know, but I can tell

439
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 2: you they are very, very concerned about this council. The

440
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 2: other news that I can share with you with I

441
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 2: heard this all over Columbia, Tusclum. I heard it in

442
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 2: our mount Lookout or High Park. I'm just gonna make

443
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 2: sure Bond Hill or Roselan. I'm a Democrat. Listen, I'm

444
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 2: not voting for any of them on council. The Democratic

445
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 2: Party has left me. I don't even know this party.

446
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 2: I can't tell you how frequently I heard that from

447
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 2: people in Cincinnati. So some people are saying I'm not

448
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 2: showing up, which I encourage them to make sure they

449
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 2: do show up. You know, whatever's going on, you know,

450
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 2: we need you to show up. However you're going to vote, participate.

451
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 2: But they are telling me they're very concerned collectively about

452
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 2: this administration, this Democratic administration and Democratic Council, and they're

453
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 2: saying it is the worst they have ever seen. Now

454
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 2: I can tell the community, I am not exaggerating when

455
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 2: I tell you We've been working hard. We've been knocking

456
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 2: on a lot of doors, and we're talking to people

457
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 2: who are very wealthy, people who are middle class, working

458
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 2: every day, people who don't have a lot of resources.

459
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 2: And the message is CULD is silent majority of a

460
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 2: drum beat that they are very concerned about the direction

461
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 2: of this city. And I think that those voters that

462
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 2: are coming out are going to come out and send

463
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 2: a message everybody isn't going to return on this council.

464
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 2: I really believe that, and I think if more voters

465
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 2: come out, we can have a major upset in the

466
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 2: mayor's office. Harder to do, but we can have it

467
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 2: because people are fed up with like like this ouphed

468
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 2: that you're reading, which is so disconnected from the reality

469
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 2: of the voter. They don't get it, they don't understand.

470
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 1: Sounds like you have a note of optimism in your

471
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: voice on turnout, Christopher, I can only pray that you

472
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: are right in that regard. And again, one final effort

473
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 1: to get the listeners to go out and vote and

474
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: for those outside, listen real quick. Here Christopher Corey Bowman

475
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: had the biggest fundraiser so far of his campaign. That

476
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: event I spoke about in Wyoming. Wyoming isn't even part

477
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: of the city of Cincinnati, but their lives are so

478
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: impacted by what happens in the city. And one of

479
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: the messages to the group was listen, if you don't

480
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: live in the city, and you don't, you're here in Wyoming,

481
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: you have businesses there, and they people raise their hand, Yes,

482
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: you have friends that live in the city. People raise

483
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: their hands and said, yes, everybody knows somebody that's in

484
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: the City of Cincinnatian lives there, call them up and

485
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,719
Speaker 1: encourage them to vote. It's the only thing you can

486
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: do with the outside. You don't have an ability to

487
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: really sway anything other than write a check. And we're

488
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: fast approaching the election, so maybe those efforts are really

489
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 1: kind of gone by the wayside. But you can still

490
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 1: make a phone call and express a few words of

491
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 1: encouragement and hope for a change in the direction of

492
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: the City of Cincinnati. It'd be good for everyone in

493
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: the tri State, including my friends out in Warren County

494
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: and Claremont County and Boone County and northern Kentucky. We're

495
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 1: all impacted. What these guys on council do, Christopher.

496
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 2: Still we are. Hey, Brian, let me just say this

497
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 2: to you. I was invited this past week to go

498
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 2: to Otr and Mohawk. Those two communities came together and

499
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 2: had a meet and greet. They are very impacted by crime,

500
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 2: just like you said, they're investing heavily in property there

501
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 2: business that are businesses that are located there, and they're

502
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 2: all telling me listen to me. I mean, one guy

503
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 2: held up his phone and used some profanity and I

504
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 2: won't disclose that. But they're so angry that they feel

505
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 2: like this council, in this mayor, they completely abandoned them

506
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 2: after they've invested so much money in the OTR and

507
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 2: in Mohawk and they feel like they've just been completely abandoned.

508
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 2: And so I'm sharing with you them inviting me into

509
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 2: their home. And this was a large swath of people

510
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 2: who lived, business owners, people that live in those neighborhoods. Boy,

511
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 2: they are really hot and they are not casting votes

512
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 2: for collectively for this, for this, for this particular council.

513
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 2: Thank you for allowing me to have a voice here,

514
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,520
