  Speaker 1: 721-555-KRCD Talk Station. It's Monday. It means it's time for
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Christopher Smitherman, former vice mayor of the city of Cincinnati,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: venting his spleen in the segment we always call the
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Smith event. Christopher, welcome back, my friend. Always love having
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: you on the program.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Hey, thanks for having me on, Brian. I really appreciate it.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: You know, I usually don't comment on national cases, national things,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: but I'm going to touch on one this morning that
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: caught my attention, and that's in this Lindsay trial. where
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: you have a white woman who killed her three children, Corey.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Who was five, Dawson, who was three, and.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Kaylin, who was eight months old.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: So she killed all three of her children.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: While her husband was out and about. And so now
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: we have this trial and it ended in a hung jury, 11-1. Now,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: the one person who held out People didn't know what
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: the person's race was until recently. And so this person
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: is African-American, African-American male, and an African and a male Republican.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: And so now all of this is kind of pouring out,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: and people are like, how dare you be the holdout, da-da-da-da-da.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: And in this case, he's indicating that the other 11
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: jurors walked in and said, not criminal responsible, period, out
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: of the gate. And he's like, what are you talking about?
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Like all the evidence that we've heard and you guys
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: say not criminally responsible. But this is the frustration that
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: I have because my speculation is the other 11 are Democrats,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: are liberal, and he's not. And he's sitting there saying
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: somebody should be held accountable for the murder of these
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: three kids. Right now, you're all you're saying she's she
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: has postpartum. I know nothing about that. that she psychologically
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: didn't know what she was doing, mental illness, all of that.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: At the end of the day, there were three young children,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I'm a father of five, you're a father of two,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: that were killed. And I believe that this juror was
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: saying not being criminally responsible was not the right direction.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: But it's just amazing to me, amazing how they are
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: just basically saying you don't have a mind of your own.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: You can't think differently than us. How dare you have
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: a different perspective? And I'm sharing with you, Brian Thomas,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: this is the craziness within the Democratic Party and how
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: they approach black Americans across this country. Most black Americans,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: as I talk about this right now, don't even know
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: anything about Michael. They don't know anything about Michael Desronville.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: They don't know that he's a 48-year-old African-American guy who
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: stood up for what he thought was the right thing
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: to do. And by the way, that was his right.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Well, of course it is because he did not have
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: reasonable doubt. She admitted to killing her kids. There was
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: no question that she's the person responsible for the death.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: The question is, at the time she did it, did
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: she know right from wrong? Postpartum depression, I guess she
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: was so, oh, I don't know, psychologically distraught that she
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: thought it was okay to kill her kids and didn't
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: think it was wrong. Well, he didn't buy into that argument.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I do not have reasonable doubt she killed her kids
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: and she knew what she was doing. That's what he concluded.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: The rest of them said, well, you know what? It
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: seems to me to be, well, at least it's reasonable
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: to think, because of what the testimony was, that she was, well,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: out of her blanking mind when she killed her kids.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: There's a division. Honestly, Christopher, I don't know how this
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: has anything to do with race. I really don't.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: But they're making it about it. Why does this black
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: male have to hide? Why is he in hiding somewhere
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: in our country?
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: See, I would argue any, you would be hiding, I
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: would be hiding. A woman who held out and said no,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: she killed her kids and she knew what she was
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: doing at the time and I have no doubt in
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: my mind that was the case. She too, I imagine,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: might be doxxed or accused or something. I just don't
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: understand it, Christopher. I really don't. You're entitled to say no.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: You're entitled to say yes. This is your right as
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: a juror. You absorb the evidence as long as you're
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: not biased and and using something that's untoward in your
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: deliberative process. He listened to the expert testimony. He said, nope, nope,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: it wasn't that. She killed him and knew it.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: What I'm trying to share with you, my brother, what
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to share with you is that these white
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: jurors were not ready for this black male to stand
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: up to them and tell them, I disagree with you.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: How dare you? They're the ones making it about race.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: They're the ones that are making it about he's a
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Republican or that he's conservative. They're the ones that are
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: doing all of that crap. I wouldn't know that he was...
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: a Republican or that he was black or had conservative values.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what that means anymore. I assume
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: that means that this guy believes in family. He probably
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: believes in the Second Amendment. He probably believes in the
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: First Amendment. He probably loves his country. He probably loves
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: the flag. He probably loves the military. And those things
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: make you conservative today. The bottom line is he did
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: not believe what the defense put before him, and he
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: stood up to these jurors. I'm just sharing with you,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: I'm amazed about how they're pushing back on this guy,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: and now they're coming out, putting all of his business,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: and did he vote for Trump? Didn't he vote for Trump?
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, all of this is coming out now. And
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I'm sharing with you, this is what the Democrats do,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Brian Thomas. You cannot be black and American and have
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: a different perspective than the Democratic Party without them saying
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: something crazy like this about you.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I'll concede all that. And you know what? This discussion
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: back and forth, my perception and your understanding is Or
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: exactly that. Mine is a perception because I haven't read
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: any of the damn articles about it. I know he's
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: a black guy because his pictures plastered all over paper
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: on the Internet. I know the subject matter of the
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: story because I've been able to glean it from headlines.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: But to me, it's one more of thousands and thousands
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: of criminal cases involving murder, loss of life that are
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: pending in this country that no one gives a crap
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: about paying attention to. And somehow this one has been
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: elevated to the attention of the hearts and minds of
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: all Americans. Look, right here in Hamilton County, we've got
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: a guy who's been charged with killing his 23-day-old baby girl.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Now let me ask you a question. It's a rhetorical one.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Do you think tomorrow, next week, down the road, that
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: every newspaper online will be talking about that particular case?
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I doubt it.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: No. I know. But what you won't have is you
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: might not have this 11-1 deal. No, of course not. Right?
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Where these white jurors, Brian, just weren't ready and didn't
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: understand that they were not able to push this guy around.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: He stood up to them from the beginning and said,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: I want to see the evidence. I'm concerned about it.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: And all of a sudden, they're the ones. I'm not
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: making it about race. There are a lot of people
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: that aren't making it about race. But now they are
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: talking about his political persuasion. They're saying he's a conservative
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: and we think he voted for Trump. I hear you.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: And you know what? Me hearing it from you for
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the first time, because I haven't read any place else
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: that that's become an issue, it sounds bat crap crazy.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: It sounds stupid. It sounds foolish as an argument or
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: something to even utter out loud. That's why I'm in
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: a state of disbelief over that it's even happening. and
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: that people will buy into it and parrot it and
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: talk about the color of his skin or his political
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: affiliation when all this had to do was weighing the
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: evidence that was presented to them?
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: It's stupid.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: It's crazy. So I'm conceding your point, but I'm conceding
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: my ignorance on the whole subject matter.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: And I just want more black Americans to be able
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: to stand up and say, I am going to vote
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: my interest. I can be independent from my political party.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Because I'm sharing with you, I don't know of any
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: other race of people that are so connected to a party,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: no matter what their platforms are, no matter whether they're
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: voting against their interests or not. I'm saying this is
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: an illustration, 11-1. One black juror says, I have a
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: different perspective, and the man is in hiding, and now
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: they're talking about his political persuasion, or he is a Republican,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: and now they're saying, well, this guy voted for Trump.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: They're trying to destroy this guy's reputation so he can't
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: work anywhere, he can't live anywhere.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: We're way out of time.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I'll give you the point, Christopher. It's just that people
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: who would listen to that and make that conclusion are really,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: really stupid. 729 right now, 55K or CD Talk Station.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Get in touch with USA Insulation. They're still running this. 733,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: 55K or CD Talk Station. Brian Thomas for Christopher Smith.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I've been doing that Smith event. Christopher, you got it, brother.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Hey, brother, look, I heard your interview last week with
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Vivek Ramaswamy.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: It was a really great interview, and I want.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: To congratulate both of you on the interview. You know,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: I think about and I've been watching a lot of
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: information that David Pepper has been putting out, and it
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: looks like he's in this class warfare situation. attack. So,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: you know, things like, you know, this guy is rich,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: you know, he's disconnected from you. He's something other than you.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: This is what I'm getting from David Pepper, who is
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: second on the ticket. He's running for Lieutenant Governor. And
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: I just want to kind of talk a little bit
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: about David Pepper so that everybody kind of has an understanding. First,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: I worked with David Pepper when I was a member
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: of city council, so I know him. So this is something...
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: that I don't know. I worked with him a number
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: of years. I was on the campaign trail. He's running
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: against me in a field race. But David went to
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Summit Country Day. So Vivek Ramaswamy went to St. X.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: And David Pepper went to Summit Country Day. Both of
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: these are stellar schools. Both of them are private. And
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: both of them could be deemed as expensive. Summit Country
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Day is probably somewhere between $ 30, 000 and $ 40, 000 a year
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: to go to Summit Country Day.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: So that's where David Pepper went.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: David then went to Yale. OK, he then went to
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Yale and served, went there, did his undergrad at Yale,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: did his graduate work at Yale. OK, so and I'm
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: saying I'm not saying anything bad about any of that.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: What just kills me about Democrats is they keep trying
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: to present themselves like they're from the working class, like
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: he has some extra connection that Vivek Ramaswamy doesn't have.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know what he's talking about. Meaning his money
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: has had him not in a public school system ever
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: in his life. He's lived a very high-level life. I
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: would even say that it's fair to say that his
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: money was given to him, which I'm not saying is
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: a bad thing, and Vivek Ramaswamy's money, he earned it.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: He did.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: This is a businessman who worked hard and has accomplished
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: things personally. where David Pepper is getting his money through
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: his family, through his father's successes, and I'm not hating
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: on that. What frustrates me is he presents himself as
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: if he's something other than that, meaning this is a very,
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: very wealthy man, and most likely the reason Amy Atkin.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Put him on the ticket is so that he.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Could raise that money out of California or he could
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: raise that money out of New York. Or he could
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: raise that money out of the Ohio Valley, meaning this
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: is about money. And I just don't understand why David
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: keeps trying to present himself that he's something other than
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: a very rich, privileged white male who's been given everything
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: and every opportunity that the United States and America has
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: to offer him. And I don't clearly understand why he
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: seems to not to embrace America. The America that gave
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: him everything that we have, gave his family and his
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: father everything that they have. And so don't come into
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: black America. Don't walk through our neighborhoods and act like
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: you're somebody that's connecting to us in some different way
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: that Vivek Ramaswamy can't. You are that guy that lived
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: that privileged life. I just wanted to say that for
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: the record.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: It's a good point because you know him and you
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: know his background, and therein lies the challenge. He can
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: get away with it because people aren't aware of that
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: level of detail. Hell, they don't even know the three
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: branches of government, let alone the background of the candidate
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: that's trying to, you know, wealth redistribute the money out
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: of the pockets of people who earned it not. We'll
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: bring Christopher back. I know he's got more pent up
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: in the Smith event.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: 738-55-KRCC.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: 741, coming up at 742.55, KRCV Talk Station. Right now,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: it's with Christopher Smitherman. Smitherman, Christopher, you have the floor
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: yet again, my friend. Appreciate you coming on the show.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much. So, Lisa Davis, Assistant Chief Lisa Davis,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: I served with her when I was on city council,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: and she is now the police chief in Austin, Texas.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: She's now Chief Lisa Davis. And she's right in the
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: middle of this person who was in our country illegally,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: who was shot in Austin, Texas, where all these riots
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: and fires are being set. So she's in the middle
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: of that story. This is a local person who cut
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: her teeth here in the city of Cincinnati, served, and
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: then was hired in Austin, Texas. And I did a show,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: and I said to you, after Labor Day, the Democrats
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: are searching for their Jerry Maguire moment. Right. And here
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: you have it for them. Right. Look for them to
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: try to organize and tell everybody again. Ice is bad.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: They don't even know the facts of what happened. They
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: don't know what the situation is. I don't know what
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: the facts are, but they're already trying to put their
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: signs out. They're already setting fires. And this was a person.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: who was in the United States of America illegally, which
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: means they broke the law. Now, there are people, let
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: me share with you, who every day wake up, they
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: go to work, they come to the country legally, they're
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: not breaking laws, they're not gangbanging, they're not walking around
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: with pistols and guns and all this kind of craziness.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: I don't understand the Democratic Party who continues to seem
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: to gravitate towards people who are criminals, meaning I suspect
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: that not only was this person in the country illegally.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: But they were doing illegal things, right?
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: And so I don't get why they're setting fires and
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: acting like the world is coming to an end, and
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: now they're breaking more laws But this is their moment
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: to try to line up with Latinos in this country
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: and try to get them to say, we need you
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: to vote Democrat in the midterms.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: That's what this is all about.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Well, the idea that they are rampaging in the streets
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: as a consequence of ICE shooting the illegal immigrant, and
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: you brought up the important point about that. No one
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: knows what happened yet. The local Austin mayor, Kirk Watson,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: not exactly a conservative. Christopher even said it out loud
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: multiple times. Extremely preliminary, his words. It's extremely preliminary, the
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: information we have on it. We don't know. He warned
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: against rushing to conclusions based upon early claims circulating on
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: TikTok and X and other social media platforms where people
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: make crap up whole cloth. The city of Austin deserves answers,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: said the Austin Police Department. We're going to get those
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: questions answered, and we'll be as transparent as we can be.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: But as of right now, we don't have the facts yet.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: So why was Austin, Texas on fire last night? If
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: all the things that you're saying are true, I don't
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: understand the riots and the fires last night. And they
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: also were saying they shot his car up, which we now,
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Chief Davis, Lisa Davis there, again, who was the assistant chief,
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: police chief here in the city of Cincinnati and then
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: was hired there. She said that that was not true
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: at a press conference. His car was not riddled with bullets.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: The guy, the human being was on foot. But we
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: don't have enough information to share with you.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: It's all preliminary.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: But guess what? A council member there, a council member
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: there in Austin, Texas, said they shot the car up.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: And so she had to come out and have a
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: press conference and simply say the council member has misspoken
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: and that is not what occurred. I'm just sharing with you,
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: I constantly see Democrats trying to use these situations in
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: order to push their political agenda. That's the only reason
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about it. That's why they're not waiting to
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: get the information like a logical person. And that's why
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: they were setting things on fire and throwing things last
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: night because they don't need the evidence. They're in the
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: midterm elections, and they're searching for something so that they
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: can win. That's what this is about. They're not in
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: search of the truth.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: The only way they can win is if people don't
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: read the widespread reporting on it from everyone, including the
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: quotes from Lisa Davis, who did say specifically, we are
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: going to get the answers to the questions answered. We
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: will be as transparent as possible. As of right now,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: we don't know. She's the one that said, I heard
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: it was a foot pursuit, which, of course, wouldn't mean
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: that he wasn't in a car which got shot up.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: But they don't care because they're so dumb in their
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: echo chamber, and all they need to do is read
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: the TikTok post talking about ICE unloading fully automatic weapon
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: inside the car. It blew them to pieces. It was
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: like watching a scene from The Godfather. Oh, it must
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: be true. Let's go riot in the streets.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Because no one cares. They pull back the veneer of
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: that nonsense, and they'd say, well, wait a second. There's
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: been no reporting on that happening. There's been no credible report.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: There's no video camera footage released yet. They haven't even
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: gotten yet. See, but no one cares about that.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Let me share this with you.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: This is a assistant chief who I know who is
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: now Chief Lisa Davis. I want to emphasize those people
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: who are turning on the radio in Austin, Texas. This
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: is one of ours. This is a former Cincinnati police
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: officer who did all her training here. all the way
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: to assistant chief, and is now the chief there, who
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: went through the entire collaborative agreement. He was all in
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: on community-based policing. He is the face of community-based policing
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: in our city. And there she is standing in front
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: of podium telling a council member, you're jumping to conclusions.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: There was no shoot up of any car, right? So
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: my point is that this is a woman who is
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: absolutely vested in things like the collaborative agreement and community-based policing.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: And she's even telling people there, hold on, you all
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: don't have enough information. We don't know what happened. Why
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: are you out here setting fires and throwing things? We
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: don't know what happened. But what she doesn't understand, or
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: maybe she does understand, is that Democrats are searching in Austin, Texas,
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: to win a Senate seat. They need to flip that
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Senate seat, people. This is about setting fires and getting
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: control of this city. Brian Thomas. They don't care about
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: the Venezuelans. They're not interested in the fact patterns. They
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: don't care about that. They care about the election. This
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: is an Austin, Texas. It is ground zero for a
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Senate race that they're trying to flip. They don't want
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: the Republican to win and they need to gender up
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: their base. That's what this is about. I shared it
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: on your show. The Jerry Maguire moment has now come.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: I thought it was I love the black man. No,
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: it's I love the Latino. And I can lie to them.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: I can confuse them. I can say whatever I want
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: to say. The facts don't matter. They do matter.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Well, evil orange man cracked down on immigration. Evil orange
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: man's the one behind getting rid of the most criminal
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: element from the illegal community out of our communities. Ergo,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: it must be bad. Let's riot in the streets, and
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: that way we can associate riots, regardless of whether they're
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: appropriate or not, regardless of whether they're based on real
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: information or not. Riots equal chaos. Riots because of ICE.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: ICE because of orange man. That's the only line you've
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: got to draw anymore, and that's all they're hanging their
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: hat on. They don't like Trump. They don't like anything
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: he does. Ergo... They don't mind violence and destruction of
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: property if it ultimately helps them achieve their goal of
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: blaming Trump for literally everything. That's my conclusion.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: And they want to control the Senate, meaning they're in
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: a heated race of a 3% to 4% margin out there.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: And that Senate race, which it shouldn't be that close,
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: but the reality of it is, and this is their
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: moment now to go out. This is organized. They're not
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: going to let it go. Chief Lisa Davis can walk
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: up on the podium in the next week and tell
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: everybody what the fact patterns were around it. And by
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: the way, if something bad happened and it was the
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: wrong decision, I'll be the first to come and say- Hey,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: ICE made a bad decision. Absolutely. There's no blank check
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: out here. But my logic says you don't jump to
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: those conclusions before the investigation and before we know it.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: We haven't even seen the body cam. We don't even know.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: But last night they're rioting. They're setting fire. They're throwing
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: things at ICE agents. I don't understand it. But then
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: I do because I go, wow, this is about that
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Senate election in Austin, Texas. They want to win it.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: So they got to gender up the Democrats in that
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: area to come out. A, they are out here killing
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: people in the street. That's the message. And that's what
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: they're going to do.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: And they want to, they need fear.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: They need fear in the electorate.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Well, of course, give it away from that one and
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: talk about fear from artificial intelligence, fear from figure it out.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: It's always about fear to keep us, oh my God,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: cowering and in search of a government solution. Christopher Smith,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: I always appreciate Your thoughts and comments here on the podcast.
