I was 22 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 2: lucky to get a prescription for that and I was 23 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,039 Speaker 2: able to dodge that bullet just after a couple of days. 24 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: So shout out to your mom and your bride and 25 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 1: your kids and you that you guys made it through. 26 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: But you know, as you know, the fluke is deadly. 27 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 1: It can be deadly, so it's nothing to play with. 28 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,119 Speaker 1: So I'm glad your mom made it through. 29 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 2: Thanks, man, I appreciate that. 30 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 1: Brother. Look, you're a girl dad. I'm a girl dad. 31 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 1: There are a lot of girl dads out there. And 32 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: you know, I'm scrolling through with my news and I 33 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: see an eleven year old girl shot on the playground 34 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: in the West End. She didn't have a chance, man, 35 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: she didn't have a chance. Here's a girl doing everything 36 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: she's supposed to do. She's playing, she's on a playground, 37 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: she's out of school, she's handling her business. My understanding 38 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: is she's not in a school in our area. The 39 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: bottom line here is this shouldn't have happened. And there's 40 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 1: so many levels to this. Being a girl dad meaning 41 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: my daughter Camille, who goes to seat in high school, 42 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 1: she's everything to me. She is the world. There's just 43 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: something about a connection between a father and a daughter. 44 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: My heart goes out to her father and her mother 45 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: my heart goes out to this family. But for a man, 46 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: this sense of provider and protector, I didn't protect my daughter. 47 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: Psychologically what that does to you. I can't get my 48 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: arms around it this morning. So there's the human part 49 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: of this, the humanity part of this where you have 50 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: a girl who's on a playground in Cincinnati who's murdered 51 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: right down by the FC Stadium. Now, what's so crazy 52 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: about this is that the West End community has been 53 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: clamoring for video, for cameras, for lights, because they had 54 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: another child killed there in the last year. 55 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 2: So the reality of it is Dominus Davis was killed 56 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. They've been promising cameras for 57 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 2: that long. 58 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: So two years ago he was killed and they've been saying, 59 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: here's city Hall, we're gonna bring you cameras. We're gonna 60 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: bring you lights, new lights, new cameras, and check this out. Dude, 61 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: there was an election. It was an election in November. No, 62 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: we're gonna deal with it. We're gonna roll up our 63 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: sleeves and deal with it. Because the West End knowing 64 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: and should have known that Corey Bowman is right there, 65 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: his church is there, his coffee shop is there, he's 66 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: vested in the West End, they voted for this administration, 67 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: this mayor this council knowingly or should have known that 68 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: they were not providing those cameras and lights. Yeah, for 69 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: this community. 70 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 2: A promise that was made, and nonetheless in the West End, 71 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 2: which is where this happened, have to have pervall in 72 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 2: the current administration. Eighty five to one hundred percent of 73 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 2: the vote went their direction, eighty five to one. I'm 74 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 2: looking at the chart Joe printed out. Thank you to 75 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 2: the Inquirer and Scott Wortman for creating it so we 76 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 2: know exactly what neighborhoods voted and in what percentage, in 77 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 2: spite of the fact there was a lot of crime 78 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 2: going on in the West End, in spite of the 79 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 2: fact there were promised video cameras that never showed up, 80 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 2: the lights that never showed up. Eighty five to one 81 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 2: hundred percent Pervoll and the cur bakeup. 82 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 1: So why is this relevant to your listening audience, Because 83 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: we if the cameras were there, we'd have video of 84 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: a car of a person, we would know, we'd have 85 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: an idea who shot her, we'd be chasing this person down. 86 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: But right now, we don't have the information that we 87 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: should have had if council and this mayor and this administration. 88 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: We're talking to Disney manager and all of them. They 89 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: all have blood on their hands. They might not have 90 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: been able to stop the shooter. But in leadership, it's 91 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 1: what you do. So two years ago, as you've educated me, 92 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: I thought it was a year ago. Time goes by 93 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: so fast. We had a young person murdered there, the 94 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: community asked for something, they didn't get it. We had 95 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: an election. Now another girl is murdered there still no cameras, 96 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: no lights, no press conferences. Community. This is what bothers me. 97 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: And when we get back from the break, I'm gonna 98 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 1: stay on this because I have a part be to it. Brian, Oh, 99 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: that really gets under my craws. I'm gonna connect some 100 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: dots this morning. 101 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 2: I'm sure you are. And it wouldn't surprise that the 102 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 2: Part C and D on top of Part B will 103 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 2: continue with Christopher Smith of inventing his spleen as well 104 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 2: he should seven twenty seventh Station seventh thirty one. Here 105 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 2: think you got case de talk Station Smith van on 106 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 2: to Part B of a multiparty breakdown of crime going 107 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 2: on in the greater Cincinnati area, most notably the West End. 108 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 2: You know, there was apparently a fourteen year old that 109 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 2: was shot over the summer last year, same area, and 110 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 2: prior to that, the eleven year old Dominic Davis killed 111 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 2: more than two years ago. And then of course we 112 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 2: had this poor eleven year old girl, innocent as the 113 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 2: day is long, killed by a drive by shooting. I mean, 114 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 2: there is no explaining this. And I understand your point 115 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 2: of view from a father of a daughter, and I 116 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 2: get that, man, but it's got to be so damn 117 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 2: frustrating that this person was so innocent, clean hands, and 118 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 2: yet her life was taken from her. You had more 119 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 2: to talk about, Christopher, you got the floor. 120 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: The politics for me is you have so many African 121 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 1: Americans on council. Stay with me. I'm going to go 122 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: into the pot of identity politics. Okay, they have a 123 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 1: mural in the front Black Lives Matter. You've got a 124 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: black city manager, you got a black vice mayor, you 125 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 1: got a black man whose chair of Law and Public Safety. 126 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 1: You got black people all down. They're running all kinds 127 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: of stuff. Irish Irish ROLLI pay getting over six hundred 128 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year, and you got an eleven year 129 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: old girl murdered and we haven't heard a word from them, 130 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: No press conferences, No, here are our solutions. Here's how 131 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: we're going to respond to the West End immediately, starting today. 132 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: You would think that Mayor Pirval would have his podium 133 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: down there putting the damn cameras up himself. Yeah, after 134 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: the eleven year old girl is murdered like this, the apathy, 135 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: like they have no understanding of the life that was 136 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: snuffed out and their direct responsibility of not finding them. 137 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: It's not the cops. The cops need help. They're neutering 138 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: our cops. It when our cops do proactive policy. They're 139 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: so word about the criminals and what's going to happen 140 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: to them. We've got judges who are letting them out 141 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: as suit as we arrest them. And we've got eleven 142 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: year old girl getting murdered on a playground in the 143 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: West End with no response from this mayor, no response 144 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: from this council, and a west End community that eighty 145 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: five percent of them voted for it, but they got 146 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: a mural on the outside of city Hall that says 147 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: black lives matter. Let me tell you something, Brian Times, 148 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: you are my white brother. You care more about Black 149 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 1: Americans lives than they do. Yeah, they don't care. This 150 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,199 Speaker 1: is not on their radar. They're thinking about street cars. 151 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: They're thinking about FC and the stadiums, and what should 152 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: they do with District one, and how do they create 153 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: some kind of mall down there that's like a like 154 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: the yellow brick road all the way down in the 155 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: city Hall. That's what's on their mind. It's not on 156 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: the people. It's not on this dirty city as we 157 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: drive around the last that's everywhere anywhere you look. This 158 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: is a dirty city. I travel like everybody else travels. 159 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: This is a dirty city. We are turning into Chicago 160 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: and New York every single frea your day. And I'm 161 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: sick of it. I'm sick of listening to people like 162 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: Mayor Purebaal who care nothing about the African American community 163 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: with a mural on the outside saying black lives matter 164 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: and our babies are being flattered in the street. And 165 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: I have a right to talk about this. I am 166 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: African American, I have five children, I have a daughter 167 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: that goes to see me.

We should 169 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: have gone over to Corey Bowman's church, had a great 170 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: service with him, and my daughter could have been in 171 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 1: that park praying, and she could be the one dead today. 172 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 1: Wake up Cincinnati, Wake up West End. This bothers me. 173 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: You know, it reminds me of this song. You know 174 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: it's called Sending the Country.

I guarantee you if brad Winstrop 190 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: had been the mayor, there would have been cameras there already. 191 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: The problem here is African Americans are confused. Lyndon Johnson 192 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: put it together. He said he was gonna put a 193 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: program together that made sure that African Americans voted for 194 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 1: Democrats for two hundred years, and he did it. And 195 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: we're sleep at the wheel when eleven year old girls 196 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: are being murdered on playgrounds and you have a mayor 197 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: and a council doing nothing. 198 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 2: Brian Thomas, Well tell you what I really wish you 199 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 2: were a little more passionate about this, Christopher Smith, Aman, 200 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,439 Speaker 2: let's bring it back for one more segment before we 201 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 2: get to Hamilton Township Police Chief Scott Hughes with his 202 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 2: opinion on the violence over the past couple of weeks. 203 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 2: One more with Christia. 204 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: Abram fifty five KRS the talk station. 205 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,079 Speaker 2: Seven forty one here fifty five KRC DE talk station 206 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 2: one more and he is venting without question today Christopher SMITHMA, 207 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 2: this with a smith Man. We're gonna hear from Hamilton 208 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 2: Township Police Chief Scott Hu's in the next segment, Christopher, again, 209 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 2: the floor is yours. 210 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: Well. I think the chief for his service and his 211 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: commitment and all his officers and all peace officers across 212 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: our country. But as you're about to interview him, I'm 213 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: going to switch and just say, you know, I want 214 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 1: to be clear. I support the administration for capturing Madura. President. 215 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: He's not president, he's a he's a dictator. And the 216 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,839 Speaker 1: language is important because he stole the election. He wasn't 217 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: the president. There was an election of free election, and 218 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: I assume that when that election happens again that the 219 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: rightful person will be elected in Venezuela. But what blows 220 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: me away are these protests. It's hard to watch these 221 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: people that are walking around acting like all of these 222 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: people who are protesting around the world, not the country, 223 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: Venezuelan's Cubans, Colombians, Latino people. The Latin community is excited 224 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: about the all of this dictator because of all the 225 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 1: things that he has done. The murder, the rate, the prostitution, 226 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 1: the drugs, the political prisoners, it's all insane in the 227 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,719 Speaker 1: Western hemisphere, and we finally had a president that had 228 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: the kahunas to go in and Shay look guy, not 229 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: in my backyard. This is not gonna happen here. Columbia 230 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: better worry about it. Mexico better worry about it. Cuba 231 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: obviously is in trouble because their oil is going to 232 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: be cut off. Yeah, and you got a Cuban who's 233 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 1: the secretary of State. If you watch that press conference, listen, 234 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: he's not playing. He is Cuban. He said, I'm going 235 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: to clean this up before I get out of here. 236 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: So the reality of it is, and you already see 237 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: Cuban saying we want the fall of Cuba. We want 238 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: Cuba to be a free country. Here's what's crazy. What 239 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,839 Speaker 1: is going on with these people that are out here 240 00:13:54,880 --> 00:14:00,559 Speaker 1: protesting holding flags from Venezuela. They're not Venezuelans. They have it, 241 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: probably couldn't even tell you where it is on a map. 242 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: But the reality of it is they're out there saying 243 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: the president did something that was bad, even though the 244 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: super super super super majority of the world, including those 245 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: who are directly impacted, are saying this was a great thing. 246 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: Are they listening, Brian Thomas, what the hell is going on? 247 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: What am I watching on TV? What am I missing? 248 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: When I see people out protesting saying this was a 249 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: bad thing. This was a drug lord. There was an indictment. 250 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: I've been listening to your show. This was an indictment 251 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: the DEA. It was carried out by the president. This 252 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: man was pulled out of his bed with his wife 253 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: and he's going to be arrained this morning for justice 254 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: for his crimes. This is what this was out. Nobody 255 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: was killed. Our elite teams did a great job. We 256 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: commend the military and everything that they did over the weekend. 257 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I'm not talking about regime change. I'm 258 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: not talking about oil that Russia and China and Iran 259 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: are down there taking anyway any or anyway they're taking it. 260 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: The reality of it is, this was a terrible guy, 261 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: a dictator that we had a worn out for his arrest. 262 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: And I've been listening to your show. Guy, I'm glad 263 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: his buddy's in jail. 264 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 2: Well got to remember, though he was a Marxist slash socialist. 265 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 2: He was there, Darwin for a long time on the 266 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 2: heels of Chavez. It was one of those countries that 267 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 2: was held out as an example to be followed. Bernie, 268 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 2: you know, Bernie Sanders like were all just praising about 269 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 2: the whole idea of the concept that're going on there. 270 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 2: Marxists are willing to overlook the crimes of their Marxist leaders. 271 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 2: Look at Russia, the history of the murders that are 272 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 2: committed in the name of Marxism and socialism. It's happened 273 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 2: all over the world. They've killed more people in the 274 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 2: name of their ideology than any other ideology out there. 275 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 2: They're not willing to hold their their Marxists accountable for 276 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 2: anything that they've done wrong. And I think that's where 277 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 2: this is coming from. So I don't know, Christopher, I 278 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 2: don't know. 279 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: Man. I'm watching the mayor of New York come out, 280 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: and I tell you, this is a very dangerous time 281 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: because it's so serious. You see Venezuelans who are challenging 282 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: these protesters. I am worried that this is going to 283 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: turn into a toxic, violent situation because they don't know 284 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: what they're playing with. They hate the president so much, 285 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: no matter what he does, no matter how successful he is, 286 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: no matter if this was in the best interest. Meaning 287 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: Democrats just two to four years ago were saying they 288 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: want him out of there. Now all of a sudden, 289 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: they're supporting him. They put a fifty million dollars baffling 290 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: on them, and ultimately this president went out and executed 291 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: what they said they wanted. Now they're out protesting, saying 292 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: everything is bad. I'm just saying to you, Brian Thomas, 293 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: this is the complete insanity where people say, people have 294 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: this derangement about our current president. You have to be 295 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: able to have sense and say when things you like 296 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: are happening, it makes sense you should be out there 297 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: commending him. You shouldn't be out there trying to destroy America, 298 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: destroy our flag. I'm letting you know, brother, the Venezuelan 299 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: people are so excited about the possibilities of their freedom. 300 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,399 Speaker 1: I hope it goes well. I pray it goes well. 301 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 1: But this was one hell of a step one balls. 302 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: He moved from the president, the executive of our country 303 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: to go in and snack this man straight out of 304 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 1: his bed with his wife and bring him back to 305 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,399 Speaker 1: New York and arrain him on Monday. And I commend 306 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,120 Speaker 1: this administration for what they did. 307 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 2: Christopher Smithing, always a pleasure hearing from me, and I 308 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 2: appreciate the passion behind your arguments and comments this morning. 309 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: Love you, brother, Love you too, man. 310 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, Happy New Year, Looking forward to another New Year 311 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 2: conversation All year long, forty seven right now stick around 312 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 2: Hamilton Township Police Chief Scott Hughes
