Speaker 1: He and a very happy one to you. I always
0:02
Speaker 1: enjoyed this time of the week we get to hear
0:03
Speaker 1: from the form of ice Mayor of the City of Cincinnati,
0:05
Speaker 1: Christopher smith Man. Christopher, welcome back to the program, my friend.
0:08
Speaker 1: Love having you on.
0:10
Speaker 2: Oh, thanks for having me on. I'm so honored to
0:13
Speaker 2: be with you, Brian. And congratulations on that wedding. Thanks,
0:17
Speaker 2: and I hope everything was beautiful. And I don't know
0:21
Speaker 2: how difficult. I've never had to give away to daughter,
0:24
Speaker 2: but I'm sure it was emotional.
0:26
Speaker 1: It was, you know, it was funny because I was
0:29
Speaker 1: not feeling much emotion. I was just feeling happy because
0:32
Speaker 1: we love Eric and we love our daughter, and the
0:34
Speaker 1: weather was looking great. I'm happy, happy, happy. I don't
0:36
Speaker 1: feel any you know, melancholy or anything. I just started
0:39
Speaker 1: walking her down the aisle and that's when it kind
0:41
Speaker 1: of hit me, like here we go. And of course
0:44
Speaker 1: during the ceremony I got a little weepy as well,
0:47
Speaker 1: But beyond that, it was just all smiles and just
0:49
Speaker 1: a perfect day. It could not have gone better. Yeah,
0:52
Speaker 1: you wait for it, brother, It's something, man.
0:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a hell of a feeling. I can't even
0:57
Speaker 2: imagine it. Is I haven't crawled that bridging what you
1:01
Speaker 2: What both of us have in common is we're men
1:04
Speaker 2: that don't mind crying, like you know, don't I don't
1:07
Speaker 2: mind shedding a tear and showing my emotions events or
1:11
Speaker 2: as a matter of fact, I think it's healthier period.
1:16
Speaker 2: I want to start off, Brian, just by saying to
1:18
Speaker 2: your listening audience that I love America, that I am
1:24
Speaker 2: so positive on the future of our country. You know,
1:28
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty years, what a great celebration. As
1:31
Speaker 2: we go into July fourth, and you know, I want
1:35
Speaker 2: to encourage people all around the city, all around the county,
1:39
Speaker 2: and all around the country to place their flags out
1:43
Speaker 2: in front of their houses, you know, in their yards.
1:47
Speaker 2: Some people put them on the cars, and really show
1:50
Speaker 2: our pride in America. We're in the middle of the
1:54
Speaker 2: World Cup. You know, I'm rooting for our team. And
1:58
Speaker 2: you know, Brian, I'm not in the sports, that's not
2:01
Speaker 2: my thing. But our team, our national team, is playing
2:05
Speaker 2: for the World Cup. It's exciting. We should get we
2:08
Speaker 2: should be getting behind that team and really showing our
2:13
Speaker 2: pride in our country. Now that doesn't mean that you
2:17
Speaker 2: and I don't believe that our country has work to do,
2:21
Speaker 2: that we're still evolving in all of those things that
2:23
Speaker 2: I might say, But this is a birthday party. It's
2:27
Speaker 2: not time to sit around and focus on the negative.
2:31
Speaker 2: It's time for us to celebrate what we have. And
2:35
Speaker 2: other people are knocking on our door, jumping fences, drowning
2:42
Speaker 2: in oceans, trying to get to our country for a reason, right,
2:47
Speaker 2: we're not. Americans aren't getting on boats going other places,
2:51
Speaker 2: you know, jumping fences and trying to get in other countries.
2:54
Speaker 2: They're not doing that for a reason because fundamentally, you
2:59
Speaker 2: understand that this is the greatest place on the entire
3:02
Speaker 2: planet to live. And if you want to if you
3:06
Speaker 2: want to be born with impoverty, if you want to
3:11
Speaker 2: be born into a single family, if you want to
3:14
Speaker 2: be born into foster care, what's great about this country
3:19
Speaker 2: is you can achieve all of your goals. Working hard,
3:26
Speaker 2: deferred gratification, getting an education. That education doesn't have to
3:32
Speaker 2: be formal. That education is reading, being well read, understanding
3:37
Speaker 2: things so that when you're running a business, you know
3:39
Speaker 2: what you're doing. There is no country like this one.
3:44
Speaker 2: And I just want to I just want to say,
3:45
Speaker 2: Brian that even coming across Americans right now who are
3:51
Speaker 2: saying that they don't like our country, they don't want
3:54
Speaker 2: to put a flag up. These are many of them
3:58
Speaker 2: young people. I'm not going to say they're confused. I'm
4:01
Speaker 2: going to say they're lost. And I would say to
4:04
Speaker 2: anybody listening right who is an American who has the
4:10
Speaker 2: right here all the rights of being an American. If
4:12
Speaker 2: you do not like our country and you want to
4:15
Speaker 2: spend this weekend setting our flag on fire, protesting our country,
4:21
Speaker 2: which you have the right to do, leave get on
4:25
Speaker 2: a plane, get on a boat, get on a bicycle,
4:28
Speaker 2: do whatever you need to do to take a one
4:31
Speaker 2: way ticket and get out of the United States of America.
4:35
Speaker 2: This is not the time in place this weekend for protest.
4:40
Speaker 2: This is the time for us to celebrate our greatness,
4:43
Speaker 2: to celebrate our victories and our wins. And understand, I personally,
4:48
Speaker 2: as a black American, I don't want to live anywhere
4:52
Speaker 2: else on the planet other than right here. And you
4:56
Speaker 2: can say all the things you want to say that
4:58
Speaker 2: are bad about this country. Brother, I'm not going anywhere.
5:02
Speaker 2: That's my first segment as I come me to brother,
5:05
Speaker 2: happy fourth of July weekend. They are and congratulations brother
5:09
Speaker 2: on being a great American.
5:11
Speaker 1: Thanks man, I appreciate your your sentiment. As we approach
5:14
Speaker 1: the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary this great nation of oars. Yes,
5:17
Speaker 1: let's celebrate the greatness as we continue to iron out
5:20
Speaker 1: some of the problems that linger. And that's what we
5:22
Speaker 1: do and that's what we have always done. More with
5:24
Speaker 1: Christopher Smithman at seven twenty six right now, if you've
5:26
Speaker 1: got k CITE talk station fourth time for traffic, you see.
5:32
Speaker 2: How transit center? Do you see how brain tumor Center is.
5:35
Speaker 1: R CD talk station Brian Thomas, w Christopher Smith and
5:38
Speaker 1: former vice may do when the smithvent this morning real
5:41
Speaker 1: quick here Christopher, you know, on the heels of your
5:43
Speaker 1: comments about that the crazy idea you think about George
5:47
Speaker 1: Soros who made billions of dollars thanks to the United
5:50
Speaker 1: States and capitalism. You got this social media Charlotte guy
5:54
Speaker 1: named Hassan Piker who is on social media. Apparently he's
5:56
Speaker 1: real popular there. They call him the left version of
5:59
Speaker 1: Alix Jones. He posts YouTube videos and Amazon videos campaigning
6:03
Speaker 1: for all the socialist candidates. He bought a two point
6:07
Speaker 1: seven million dollar home in West Hollywood when he was
6:09
Speaker 1: only twenty nine years old, and the Wall Street Journal
6:13
Speaker 1: observes that only in America can one get rich by
6:16
Speaker 1: assailing the wealthy, and then notable, all of these democrats
6:20
Speaker 1: socialists of America, all very well educated, most all graduated
6:23
Speaker 1: from college, got some multiple degrees, and exemplify the economic
6:29
Speaker 1: mobility that they claim isn't even possible in the United
6:31
Speaker 1: States of America. It's crazy, man, and they're anyway, I
6:35
Speaker 1: could go on. There's a whole bunch of great illustrations
6:38
Speaker 1: about the seemingly the duplicity come out of these idiot's mouths.
6:41
Speaker 1: But they're living the American dream by tearing the American
6:45
Speaker 1: dream down in their comments and in their campaigns. Christopher,
6:48
Speaker 1: it just doesn't make sense.
6:50
Speaker 2: Absolutely, it doesn't look. I'm going to try to tie
6:54
Speaker 2: what you just said together with the birthright citizenship decision
6:59
Speaker 2: that's come today from the Supreme Court. And this is
7:03
Speaker 2: important because the foundation of this, Brian Thomas, is the
7:08
Speaker 2: dread Scott case, and I've spoken about this on your
7:12
Speaker 2: show eighteen fifty seven dred Scott versus Stanford. Here is
7:17
Speaker 2: a black American at that time, a slave who had
7:22
Speaker 2: traveled to two states and he was free, and he decided, look,
7:27
Speaker 2: I'm going to file a lawsuit for my freedom and
7:32
Speaker 2: dred Scott Stamford. He lost. And that Supreme Court was
7:36
Speaker 2: majority Democrat. I want to say that again, majority Democrat
7:41
Speaker 2: Supreme Court said.
7:43
Speaker 3: That dread Scott was a slave property. So from the
7:49
Speaker 3: property property, dude property. And so from the dread Scott case,
7:54
Speaker 3: you had the birth of Abraham Lincoln. You had the
7:57
Speaker 3: birth of the Emancipation Proclamation, and you had what we
8:01
Speaker 3: call a Civil War where six hundred and fifty thousand
8:05
Speaker 3: of our brotherns lost their life fighting for our freedom.
8:10
Speaker 3: As we talk about July fourth and two hundred and
8:13
Speaker 3: fifty years, a lot of people put.
8:16
Speaker 2: Their life on the line. But here we're going to
8:18
Speaker 2: have a decision which I am not confident that this
8:21
Speaker 2: Supreme Court is going to get it right, that they
8:24
Speaker 2: are going to pimp out black Americans. The Democratic Party
8:30
Speaker 2: who was ironically running the majority of the Supreme Court
8:35
Speaker 2: that decided that dread Scott was a slave and would
8:39
Speaker 2: always be property. Now today they're flipping the script and
8:44
Speaker 2: they're saying, hey, you can come to America and drop
8:48
Speaker 2: a baby on a vacation and you are now an
8:51
Speaker 2: American citizen on the backdrop of the dread Scott case. Now,
8:56
Speaker 2: let me tell you, brother, that catches my attention. And
9:00
Speaker 2: this is what makes me so frustrated at times with Democrats,
9:03
Speaker 2: as the Black community is the base of the Democratic
9:07
Speaker 2: Party and they're willing to pimp us do anything they
9:10
Speaker 2: possibly can do to undermine and really desecrate the history
9:17
Speaker 2: of black Americans. Dred Scott was one of the greatest
9:21
Speaker 2: Americans ever to live. Here's a dude that was a
9:24
Speaker 2: slave who spent his life trying to buy the freedom
9:28
Speaker 2: of his family. Understood in Missouri that he would file
9:31
Speaker 2: in that state court, ultimately became a federal case, ultimately
9:35
Speaker 2: landed in the Supreme Court, only to have a majority
9:39
Speaker 2: Democratic Supreme Court tell Drad Scott he was a slave,
9:44
Speaker 2: and I'm going to wake up today in the Supreme
9:46
Speaker 2: Court on the backs of that are going to say, look, dude,
9:50
Speaker 2: you can come from anywhere in the world, drop a baby,
9:53
Speaker 2: and become an American citizen and say that that was
9:56
Speaker 2: exactly what the Supreme Court or our nation was talking
10:00
Speaker 2: about as it relates to any of these cases, but
10:03
Speaker 2: specifically the dread Scott case. These were about slaves These
10:08
Speaker 2: were about my ancestors who helped build this great country,
10:12
Speaker 2: who helped who gave their life, who at times were
10:15
Speaker 2: hung never got justice in our criminal justice systems down
10:19
Speaker 2: in the Deep South, where the Dixiecrats, which are Democrats
10:24
Speaker 2: who are down there blocking us from getting a public education.
10:28
Speaker 2: And so as we walk in and celebrate which I
10:30
Speaker 2: believe two hundred and fifty years of greatness, please Democrats,
10:35
Speaker 2: put your flags out and tell the world your confederacy
10:40
Speaker 2: that you lost the war.
10:43
Speaker 1: I was gonna let that sit beautifully, stated Christopher smith
10:45
Speaker 1: will get some more time with Christopher coming over to
10:47
Speaker 1: the next segment. Station seven fifty five KRE City Talk
10:55
Speaker 1: Station Brian Thomas with Christopher Smithman during the Smith of
10:58
Speaker 1: Van as we do every Monday. You can find the
10:59
Speaker 1: potecast of this conversation along with other podcasts on fifty
11:03
Speaker 1: five Kerose dot com on the podcast page. Christopher, you
11:06
Speaker 1: have the floor again, man, brother.
11:09
Speaker 2: I don't know why Democrats some democrats, so I'm not
11:12
Speaker 2: a broad brush here, and those being black Americans who
11:16
Speaker 2: are some of them are Democrats, but I'm talking white
11:18
Speaker 2: and black and Latino Democrats are so afraid of this
11:22
Speaker 2: public conversation that I'm having that they like to hurl,
11:26
Speaker 2: you know, insults by calling people like me who talk
11:29
Speaker 2: about the history of our country as we celebrate two
11:32
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty years as me being an uncle Tom
11:36
Speaker 2: or somebody that's outside of it. What is it about
11:38
Speaker 2: these historical facts that shake Democrats down to their underpans.
11:44
Speaker 2: And so they'll walk up to me and they'll say
11:47
Speaker 2: things like, well, card Smith to me, now you must
11:49
Speaker 2: be a Republican. Now I'm a registered Independent, but I've
11:53
Speaker 2: just got some common sense and have some understanding of history.
11:56
Speaker 2: And I'll say to that black American, why would you
11:59
Speaker 2: come to me and hurld what you think is an insult?
12:02
Speaker 2: Which is the greatest compliment you could have given me today,
12:05
Speaker 2: that you're saying that I am a Republican, the party
12:09
Speaker 2: that freed my black butt? Is that what you're saying.
12:12
Speaker 2: I mean, the Emancipation Proclamation, the Civil rights right for
12:16
Speaker 2: talking to Lincoln the President, all of these people were Republicans, right,
12:21
Speaker 2: they fought in the Civil War to free my ancestry.
12:24
Speaker 2: What a great compliment that you would call me today
12:27
Speaker 2: a Republican, that you're saying this is a party that
12:30
Speaker 2: freed my black butt. Yes, well, I'm an independent. But
12:34
Speaker 2: what I will tell you is I am not a Dixiecrat.
12:37
Speaker 2: I will not be that person flying the Confederate flag.
12:40
Speaker 2: You know on the two hundred and fiftieth year, those
12:43
Speaker 2: will be Dixiecrats that will be doing things like that.
12:46
Speaker 2: So it's insane to me when I talk to Black
12:49
Speaker 2: Americans sometimes who obviously some of them have no historical
12:53
Speaker 2: point about what I'm discussing on this radio, which is
12:56
Speaker 2: all true. That why would you run around and say
13:00
Speaker 2: urging things about African Americans or Black Americans who call
13:04
Speaker 2: themselves Republicans and Conservatives when it is that party as
13:08
Speaker 2: we march into the twenty two hundred and fiftieth celebration
13:12
Speaker 2: of our of our history, that that is the party
13:15
Speaker 2: that freed you. So if that makes me and Uncle Tom,
13:18
Speaker 2: I wear that with pride.
13:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I wear with pride, dude, and Uncle Tom.
13:25
Speaker 1: Doesn't that refer to a black person in the South
13:28
Speaker 1: who would capitulate and kawtao and cater to the slave masters?
13:33
Speaker 3: Correct?
13:34
Speaker 1: Okay, And that means that they were catering black sound
13:37
Speaker 1: like that, No, you don't. But also that would be catering,
13:40
Speaker 1: caltowing otherwise capitulating to the Democrats who put slavery in place,
13:45
Speaker 1: and of course who supported slavery throughout the Civil War,
13:48
Speaker 1: and the Klan too. We can overlook the fact that
13:50
Speaker 1: the Democrats benefited amazingly by the event, by the backing
13:53
Speaker 1: of the Ku Klux Klan on.
13:57
Speaker 2: One of the greatest domestic terrorists groups in our country.
14:02
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, I just don't
14:04
Speaker 2: want people walking around right on the two hundred and
14:08
Speaker 2: fiftiest year celebration of our country asking themselves if they
14:13
Speaker 2: happened to be a black American. I'm an American. I
14:15
Speaker 2: like to say, I'm an American. But for identity politics,
14:19
Speaker 2: in this conversation, black Americans who might feel pressure of
14:24
Speaker 2: why they might not write, why they might have a
14:26
Speaker 2: flag or not have a flag where that flag, put
14:29
Speaker 2: that flag out with great pride, right, don't be afraid
14:33
Speaker 2: to say that Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, or
14:40
Speaker 2: that Dred Scott fought for his freedom in eighteen fifty
14:43
Speaker 2: seven versus Stanford, and it was the Democrats at the
14:46
Speaker 2: Supreme Court who blocked his freedom, and he died in
14:50
Speaker 2: his mind still a slave, and it took all the
14:53
Speaker 2: way until the Civil Rights into the nineteen sixties, which
14:56
Speaker 2: yet again the Republicans came to the aid of Black
15:00
Speaker 2: Americans and voted to give us our right to vote,
15:03
Speaker 2: to give us basic civil rights, to tell the rest
15:06
Speaker 2: of the world that we are not property. These are
15:09
Speaker 2: the things that we must understand and celebrate. Brian Thomas,
15:13
Speaker 2: as we march into this two hundred and fiftieth party
15:16
Speaker 2: on July fourth, when the people are out here trying
15:19
Speaker 2: to tell Black Americans that don't celebrate that this is
15:23
Speaker 2: not your country. It's absolutely insane and as if the
15:28
Speaker 2: Democratic Party delivered us into our freedom. If it weren't
15:33
Speaker 2: for the Republicans, we'd be going into the two hundred
15:36
Speaker 2: and fiftieth year as a slave, as an enslaved people
15:40
Speaker 2: with poll taxes down in the South, being lynched by
15:45
Speaker 2: the Dixiecrats wearing hoods, if it wasn't for the Republican Party.
15:49
Speaker 2: So my vent is all about this country. I love it.
15:53
Speaker 2: I'm a great American. I love this country. I'm a
15:57
Speaker 2: capitalist at the absolute core broker. I love waking up
16:02
Speaker 2: and trying to find a trade and sending it to
16:05
Speaker 2: New York or doing some kind of stock option through Chicago.
16:08
Speaker 2: Nowhere in America can I make the kind of money
16:12
Speaker 2: I make on a daily basis, or the money I
16:14
Speaker 2: make in this country by making good decisions. Sometimes I
16:17
Speaker 2: lose money, Sometimes I make money. Brian Thomas. But I
16:20
Speaker 2: loved it. I loved the chance of it. I love
16:23
Speaker 2: the thrill of it. I love the ability to do it.
16:26
Speaker 2: And there is no place on America that I could
16:29
Speaker 2: make the kind of money build the life I have
16:31
Speaker 2: for my five children, my great my wonderful father and mother,
16:35
Speaker 2: and all of the opportunities that they had and fought
16:38
Speaker 2: forth through the South, going to shortly black colleges and universities,
16:42
Speaker 2: ultimately the land at Procter and Gamble, and to be
16:44
Speaker 2: the first African American with a PhD. My dad hired
16:48
Speaker 2: by Procter and Gamble of the United States of America.
16:50
Speaker 2: That wouldn't happen anywhere else. From a poor kid out
16:54
Speaker 2: of Birmingham, Alabama, born to a Baptist minister whose church
16:59
Speaker 2: was burned to the ground by the Klueplux kran in Birmingham,
17:03
Speaker 2: Alabama by the Democrats. So let me tell you something, brother,
17:07
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be celebrating. I'm gonna be putting my flag out.
17:11
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be marching around and every Black American that
17:13
Speaker 2: can hear my voice. Anybody that walks up and tries
17:16
Speaker 2: to tell you that this is not your country, that
17:19
Speaker 2: you should celebrate it and love it and embrace it,
17:22
Speaker 2: they are absolutely nuts.
17:24
Speaker 1: Absolutely you know, you are living proof among so many
17:29
Speaker 1: other successful Black Americans that any American, if they have
17:33
Speaker 1: the right education or they apply themselves, you're gonna get
17:36
Speaker 1: I'm just guaranteed success in this country. You have to
17:39
Speaker 1: apply yourself and have to get an education. Of course,
17:41
Speaker 1: your family support is, you know, without question, a contribution
17:46
Speaker 1: to your success because family units and structure that you
17:49
Speaker 1: know have these wonderful ideas and concepts for success in America,
17:53
Speaker 1: and who grasp it and understand it can do very
17:56
Speaker 1: very well. You haven't defied the odds. You've just proven
18:00
Speaker 1: that American dream is capable for all who choose to
18:04
Speaker 1: work for it.
18:06
Speaker 2: And work hard for it, not give up, not walk
18:08
Speaker 2: an look, things people cheat, Racism, sexism, agism, all those
18:15
Speaker 2: things are just people cheating. It's like a basketball game.
18:18
Speaker 2: I'm grabbing your jersey or trying to still do a
18:20
Speaker 2: layup or shoot a three point I'm not an athlete
18:23
Speaker 2: at all, but the reality of it, all those things
18:26
Speaker 2: are just cheating. You got to learn how to get
18:28
Speaker 2: around those things, get under them, get above them, and
18:30
Speaker 2: rise to the occasion. And so that's all I've tried
18:34
Speaker 2: to do. And I am never hating on billionaires and
18:37
Speaker 2: trillionaires and anybody else who's doing better than me or
18:41
Speaker 2: has more money than me. I'm letting you know I
18:44
Speaker 2: work every day. I want to dig a well that
18:46
Speaker 2: I'll never drink from. I want to make sure that
18:48
Speaker 2: my children, my grandchildren, my great grandchildren have a better
18:52
Speaker 2: life than I have. That's what you call working hard
18:55
Speaker 2: and thinking about your future. There's nothing wrong with any
18:59
Speaker 2: of those things. And I just think that the Democratic
19:02
Speaker 2: Party right now, the socialists, are trying to hate. They're
19:05
Speaker 2: trying to tell Black Americans the only thing that we
19:08
Speaker 2: can look forward to is some type of welfare, some
19:12
Speaker 2: support system, some type of I'm going to give you
19:15
Speaker 2: something instead of Look, you can work, make money, savor
19:20
Speaker 2: it systematically compounded interest over thirty or forty years, be
19:24
Speaker 2: a multi millionaire, and push yourself. You don't need the
19:28
Speaker 2: Democratic Party. They want to use you, so they control
19:32
Speaker 2: your vote and they can maintain power. That's the only
19:36
Speaker 2: thing they're interested in. And that was confirmed out of
19:39
Speaker 2: Maine when you had Bernie Sanders, a Jewish man standing
19:43
Speaker 2: next to a person who has a ku klutz Tran
19:46
Speaker 2: or Nazi or whatever the heck he had tattooed on
19:49
Speaker 2: his body. Brother, it's live and living within the Democratic
19:53
Speaker 2: Party and they're just seeking power. I support the zach Ramaswami.
19:58
Speaker 2: Here's a man who's in Indian who's made lots of money,
20:02
Speaker 2: and I have people hating on him because he's successful.
20:05
Speaker 2: I celebrate him. I want a governor that's in the
20:09
Speaker 2: place that understands business, wants to bring better business, wants
20:13
Speaker 2: to bring jobs, lower taxes where there's property income taxes.
20:17
Speaker 2: I would love to have somebody in the governor's office
20:20
Speaker 2: for the next eight years that's thinking about lowering my taxes,
20:24
Speaker 2: making sure that they're creating opportunities for everybody. So anyway,
20:29
Speaker 2: thank you so much for giving me so much time.
20:31
Speaker 2: I love this country and I just wanted to make
20:34
Speaker 2: sure I made it clear why I loved it. What
20:38
Speaker 2: is important about this upcoming holiday coming up on the
20:41
Speaker 2: force and to push back on the socialists that are
20:44
Speaker 2: trying to take over. I guess the Democratic Party who
20:47
Speaker 2: want us to hate our country. Alexander the Great lived,
20:51
Speaker 2: and they're still knocking on our door. If we're not careful,
20:54
Speaker 2: we'll kill each other from inside, which is what our
20:57
Speaker 2: enemies want us to do. They want us to fight
21:00
Speaker 2: each other. They want me to think that my white
21:02
Speaker 2: brother is my enemy. They are not. They are not.
21:06
Speaker 2: I'm looking from the outside saying, guess what. This is
21:09
Speaker 2: the greatest country. We have the greatest military, We have
21:13
Speaker 2: the greatest economic situation in the world. And if you
21:16
Speaker 2: come here and you work hard, and you become a citizen,
21:19
Speaker 2: and you accept English as your first language, you can
21:23
Speaker 2: now take to the highest levels and build the greatest
21:26
Speaker 2: bream of your life for your family, period period.
21:29
Speaker 1: Nobody can argue with that. And in terms of clarity,
21:32
Speaker 1: crystal clear, Christopher Smethan, thank you so much for the
21:36
Speaker 1: powerful
