Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Beep talk station. It's just shy seven twenty at fifty
- 0:06Speaker 1: five KRCD talk station. It's that time a week. We
- 0:09Speaker 1: are blessed to have the former vice mayor of the
- 0:11Speaker 1: City of since I joined the fifty five krc Morning
- 0:13Speaker 1: show and vent his spleen. It's time for the Christopher
- 0:16Speaker 1: smither Van. Welcome back, Christopher. I hope you had a
- 0:18Speaker 1: wonderful Father's Day, Brian.
- 0:22Speaker 2: It was relaxing and peaceful. That's kind of been my
- 0:26Speaker 2: been my tradition in my family. I just get a
- 0:29Speaker 2: day off of peace, and that's been going on for
- 0:32Speaker 2: probably twenty five years. But happy Father's Day to you.
- 0:38Speaker 2: I heard your tribute to your dad. I feel the
- 0:41Speaker 2: same way about my dad. Had a wonderful father who
- 0:45Speaker 2: worked incredibly hard and cared about his six children and
- 0:49Speaker 2: his wife. And I'll I'll just say this note about him.
- 0:53Speaker 2: My father was an only child from Birmingham, Alabama, and
- 0:59Speaker 2: every l and that is not an exaggeration. His mother,
- 1:03Speaker 2: my mother's mother, even my grandfather's second wife. Every time
- 1:10Speaker 2: they got sick, my father and mother brought them to
- 1:13Speaker 2: Cincinnati and lived in our home. So we always had
- 1:17Speaker 2: four or five elders living in our home at the
- 1:21Speaker 2: same time, and that included a first and second wife.
- 1:26Speaker 2: And so my grandmother, Mozille, who was my grandfather's first wife,
- 1:32Speaker 2: took care of his my grandfather. This is on my
- 1:35Speaker 2: mother's side, my mother's father's second wife, and they cooperated
- 1:40Speaker 2: in the house together. And it just really told me
- 1:43Speaker 2: the kind of man that my father was, a person
- 1:47Speaker 2: about family integrity and just cared very deeply for my mother.
- 1:54Speaker 2: Meaning every husband wouldn't sacrifice himself like that. So I
- 2:00Speaker 2: think about my dad and all the things that that
- 2:02Speaker 2: he did to make things good for us. And so
- 2:05Speaker 2: I listened to your tribute to to your father. And
- 2:08Speaker 2: and by the way, even the even the postman, uh
- 2:12Speaker 2: ups drivers and even the FedEx people could not believe
- 2:15Speaker 2: that a wife and an ex wife were both living
- 2:19Speaker 2: under same They thought that was pretty wild, dude.
- 2:25Speaker 1: It doesn't happen in every family, that's for sure. But
- 2:27Speaker 1: I suppose it had to be good for your education,
- 2:29Speaker 1: your own you know, childhood education. To have that many
- 2:31Speaker 1: generations living around you and sharing their life experiences.
- 2:34Speaker 2: With you, oh, absolutely. And and you couldn't get away
- 2:38Speaker 2: with anything, right because there was always somebody home, always
- 2:43Speaker 2: somebody home, you know that's true, you know, but but
- 2:47Speaker 2: and that you know, it really pivots into and I
- 2:49Speaker 2: know we don't have a lot in this segment to
- 2:51Speaker 2: talk about just a bloody weekend that we had in
- 2:55Speaker 2: our city. And I talked about this last week, meaning
- 2:59Speaker 2: the weather warming up most likely, you know, we were
- 3:02Speaker 2: going to have a tough weekend. But we're talking a
- 3:04Speaker 2: triple homicide in one location, a fourth homicide in a
- 3:08Speaker 2: different location, a double shooting that wasn't fatal in another location,
- 3:13Speaker 2: disorderly crowds in Bramble Park and Fairview Park, and this
- 3:18Speaker 2: was all over Juneteenth weekend and Father's Day weekend, and
- 3:23Speaker 2: then to layer on top of it. And I want
- 3:25Speaker 2: to hold in on this, and I'm going to do
- 3:27Speaker 2: it in two segments, but I want to really thank
- 3:30Speaker 2: Signal ninety nine. And I know you have her on
- 3:33Speaker 2: your show from time to time, But she put a
- 3:36Speaker 2: post up saying something was going down on Friday in downtown,
- 3:40Speaker 2: and just because the mainstream media wasn't reporting it, just
- 3:45Speaker 2: like here on this show, doesn't mean it wasn't happening.
- 3:49Speaker 2: Meaning there were youth downtown on the banks, there were
- 3:54Speaker 2: youth downtown moving up into Fountain Square and on Government
- 4:00Speaker 2: they were causing a problem in downtown and so just
- 4:04Speaker 2: because mainstream media blacked it out and basically where they
- 4:08Speaker 2: were acting like these things weren't happening. And I'm not
- 4:11Speaker 2: going to say I understand why. The concept is the
- 4:15Speaker 2: business is down there are suffering, and so you know
- 4:18Speaker 2: they don't want these things reported. But there was a
- 4:21Speaker 2: clearly a coordinated effort about something that was happening in
- 4:26Speaker 2: our downtown with youth that made it uncomfortable for the
- 4:30Speaker 2: other visitors that were there. That is at least a
- 4:33Speaker 2: fair statement. Now, there are other things that I heard
- 4:36Speaker 2: went down, I heard backup had to be called in
- 4:38Speaker 2: to deal with it. But to call Signal ninety nine
- 4:41Speaker 2: are racist meeting people are on her pace saying she's racist,
- 4:46Speaker 2: which I'm going to deal with in the next segment.
- 4:49Speaker 2: You've got to be out of your mind if she
- 4:51Speaker 2: is just providing factual information to the public so you
- 4:56Speaker 2: and I can make decisions about our life and our
- 5:00Speaker 2: call that burn my behind this weekend, Christopher, I have
- 5:04Speaker 2: to ask a specific question.
- 5:05Speaker 1: We can address it and dive in and further because
- 5:07Speaker 1: that a You're not done with this topic. But as
- 5:08Speaker 1: we move into break. Did she at any time in
- 5:11Speaker 1: mentioning the thirty or forty juveniles that were attacking people
- 5:14Speaker 1: and starting fires and fighting and destroying property, which is
- 5:17Speaker 1: widely reported on the computer aided dispatch records which she
- 5:21Speaker 1: has to support her fact. Does she ever mention the
- 5:25Speaker 1: race of the children and the young people that are
- 5:27Speaker 1: running amuck?
- 5:28Speaker 2: Not one time?
- 5:29Speaker 1: And how on the hell can it be racist? All right,
- 5:31Speaker 1: we'll bring Christopher back. I kind of figured that anyhow.
- 5:35Speaker 1: First Gate of Heaven Catholic Cemetery is serving the greater
- 5:37Speaker 1: Sin Saint Christian community for carec DE talk station, Happy Monday,
- 5:41Speaker 1: Brian Thomas here with Christopher Smith. Men do win the
- 5:43Speaker 1: Smith Amen? And as she pointed out, you gave PROPS
- 5:45Speaker 1: a signal ninety nine. Just because it isn't reported in
- 5:47Speaker 1: local media, it doesn't mean it's not happening. And she
- 5:50Speaker 1: did do some reporting about the CAD records, the computer
- 5:53Speaker 1: aided dispatch records, which reflected multiple officers, including the swat
- 5:58Speaker 1: team and everybody else was called out. What is about
- 6:01Speaker 1: late eight pm on was it Monday night? Christopher? Was
- 6:04Speaker 1: it mon? Yeah, it was the nineteenth, It was juneteenth.
- 6:08Speaker 1: The SWAT team among others, this was.
- 6:10Speaker 2: I think this was Friday nights. Yeah, that this incident,
- 6:13Speaker 2: that this incident happened. But I was amazed by people
- 6:18Speaker 2: who are brainwashed and you just you put the nail
- 6:23Speaker 2: right right in the in the wood here when you
- 6:26Speaker 2: said it wasn't reported in mainstream media, therefore it didn't happen.
- 6:32Speaker 2: They are the ones that are actually brainwashed, meaning just
- 6:36Speaker 2: because Signal ninety nine is sharing something that the mainstream
- 6:39Speaker 2: media is refusing to share it. By the way, what
- 6:44Speaker 2: is my speculation of the reason it's not the mayor's narrative?
- 6:48Speaker 2: The mayor doesn't want that. He's making calls to newsrooms.
- 6:52Speaker 2: His people are making calls into newsrooms and they're saying, listen,
- 6:56Speaker 2: our businesses are suffering. Okay, let's kind of let this
- 7:00Speaker 2: would go. But the reality of there are people that
- 7:03Speaker 2: are listening to scanners like Signal ninety nine and they're like, wow,
- 7:07Speaker 2: there's backup being called into towntown. What in the world
- 7:10Speaker 2: is going on? So there was enough going on to
- 7:13Speaker 2: your listening audience that the police department called out for help.
- 7:18Speaker 2: Why didn't it nine twelve, five nineteen, Why didn't any
- 7:23Speaker 2: of these stations cover any of it? Right, why was
- 7:26Speaker 2: there a blackout? That doesn't make signal ninety nine wrong.
- 7:30Speaker 2: It doesn't make signal ninety nine racist, And I absolutely
- 7:35Speaker 2: appreciated that she was sharing what was going on in
- 7:39Speaker 2: our city. What's said about it is I've got to
- 7:41Speaker 2: go to an x account to figure out what's going
- 7:44Speaker 2: on in the city. People, if you're not following her
- 7:49Speaker 2: on social media, the way you protest what just happened
- 7:53Speaker 2: on Friday night is go and give her a follow
- 7:56Speaker 2: so you can actually figure out. When mainstream media is
- 7:59Speaker 2: unwilling to tell you what's happening in our city. At
- 8:02Speaker 2: least there's some platform that will I certainly didn't know
- 8:06Speaker 2: it was going on, but the reality of it was Brian.
- 8:09Speaker 2: As I end this part of this segment, something happened
- 8:12Speaker 2: in downtown on Friday, and I think we're going to
- 8:15Speaker 2: hear more about it. Meaning this isn't over because the
- 8:19Speaker 2: way this is city Hall. By the way, city Hall
- 8:23Speaker 2: is attempting to discredit Signal ninety nine. They don't like
- 8:27Speaker 2: platforms like this that come out that are against the
- 8:30Speaker 2: mayor's narrative. So now their goal is call her a racist,
- 8:34Speaker 2: tell her that she's putting out false information. That she's wrong,
- 8:37Speaker 2: so that other people don't follow and they discredit her.
- 8:41Speaker 2: Shame on all.
- 8:41Speaker 1: Of them, And that has become the story, not that
- 8:44Speaker 1: there were In fact, thirty to forty juniid jumn I
- 8:47Speaker 1: was running around attacking people, starting fires, fighting and destroying
- 8:49Speaker 1: property downtown, as Signal ninety nine reports from the computer
- 8:53Speaker 1: aided dispatch records, which we're coming in telling police they
- 8:55Speaker 1: need to get their butts over to this area and
- 8:57Speaker 1: get rid of these kids beat. Isn't that I mean?
- 9:00Speaker 1: With Signal ninety nine's popularity and even local mainstream local
- 9:04Speaker 1: news I won't call mainstream media, but local news five nine, twelve, nineteen,
- 9:07Speaker 1: all of them enquire. They know that she's popular and
- 9:11Speaker 1: an accurate source of information, so much so that they
- 9:14Speaker 1: actually refer to her in the reporting from time to time.
- 9:17Speaker 1: And since this has cropped up and there was no
- 9:19Speaker 1: local reporting about this youth gang activity or call it
- 9:22Speaker 1: what you will, isn't it a worthy follow up article?
- 9:25Speaker 1: Signal ninety nine got attacked for being a racist for
- 9:27Speaker 1: reporting on actual crime that was going on. Hey, we're
- 9:31Speaker 1: following up on it, and you know what, we didn't
- 9:33Speaker 1: report on it when it was happening we had too
- 9:35Speaker 1: many deaths and shooting incidents to follow up on. But
- 9:38Speaker 1: now we've got time. We looked into it, and signal
- 9:41Speaker 1: ninety nine is right.
- 9:42Speaker 2: How about that? I think we're gonna see that about that. No,
- 9:45Speaker 2: we'll never see that. Brian Thomas, who never We'll never
- 9:48Speaker 2: see that in writing. And by the way, anyone who
- 9:52Speaker 2: is a Black American who sees this differently as a
- 9:55Speaker 2: leader is an uncle Tom. So we've got the racist
- 9:59Speaker 2: and the uncle time that are just simply saying, this
- 10:02Speaker 2: is what's happening in our city and I'm tired of it. Now.
- 10:06Speaker 2: Here's the good news. The good news is the super
- 10:09Speaker 2: majority of Black Americans that live in our city and
- 10:12Speaker 2: our region and in our country are law abiding citizens.
- 10:16Speaker 2: They're getting up every day, they're listening to this show
- 10:18Speaker 2: right now as they're driving into work. They have nothing
- 10:21Speaker 2: to do with any of this craziness. And they are
- 10:23Speaker 2: just as concerned about the deterioration of what they're seeing
- 10:27Speaker 2: in youth, whether it's white youth, are White Americans or
- 10:31Speaker 2: Black Americans or Latino Americans. What we're seeing across the
- 10:34Speaker 2: country with these team takeovers of people just showing up
- 10:37Speaker 2: at Juneteenth event and stomping and fighting and shooting each
- 10:41Speaker 2: other all throughout the weekend, whether it was in Chicago
- 10:45Speaker 2: or whether it was in New Jersey, or whether we
- 10:47Speaker 2: saw the craziness here in Cincinnati, so many black Americans
- 10:50Speaker 2: and white men. This is an American tragedy that we're
- 10:54Speaker 2: experiencing right now. And just because of Signal ninety nine
- 10:59Speaker 2: platform or a former vice mayor of Christopher smitheman like
- 11:03Speaker 2: myself reports on it, or a Brian Thomas says, yes,
- 11:07Speaker 2: these things did happen. I'm reading the CAD myself. It
- 11:11Speaker 2: doesn't make you a racist, It doesn't make me and
- 11:14Speaker 2: Uncle Tom, and it doesn't make that platform racist. We
- 11:17Speaker 2: have to call these community, these community leaders out for
- 11:21Speaker 2: the blackout on Friday that they just didn't want to
- 11:25Speaker 2: report for everybody to see.
- 11:27Speaker 1: And I will double down on the point I made
- 11:29Speaker 1: earlier going in the prior Brad Christopher even, I have
- 11:33Speaker 1: no idea what the racial makeup of these people is.
- 11:35Speaker 1: As we sit here and talk about it today, How
- 11:37Speaker 1: the hell would I know?
- 11:38Speaker 2: Either do I do? I? And you and I and
- 11:41Speaker 2: you and I haven't even spoken about it. All we
- 11:43Speaker 2: know were youth. That's all we know. Youth. And the
- 11:46Speaker 2: other thing we know is that the CAD is showing
- 11:50Speaker 2: that the police were calling for backup. The bottom line
- 11:53Speaker 2: is why did the mainstream media on Friday on Juneteenth
- 11:58Speaker 2: decide not to report it? And I know what the
- 12:00Speaker 2: answer is.
- 12:01Speaker 1: Don't go away? More with Christopher Smithman seven thirty five.
- 12:04Speaker 1: Right now at fifty five care see the talk station
- 12:07Speaker 1: Odor Exit won't talk station. It's seven thirty nine fifty five,
- 12:14Speaker 1: karasee the talk station. Happy Monday. Brian Thomas here with
- 12:19Speaker 1: Christopher Smithman in the middle of a smith event. Yeah,
- 12:21Speaker 1: I have to observe Christophers. Since the reporting and the
- 12:23Speaker 1: CAD documents and Signal ninety nine's comments on the youth
- 12:26Speaker 1: gang violence that was running around and not reported by
- 12:29Speaker 1: local media, that someone would accuse her of being racist,
- 12:31Speaker 1: I think reveals the person making the acquisition to be
- 12:34Speaker 1: the racist, since no one knows what the racial makeup
- 12:37Speaker 1: is of these youths. For them to say it's racist
- 12:39Speaker 1: for her to even bring up this gang activity, then
- 12:42Speaker 1: they're the racist because they apparently are of the mindset
- 12:45Speaker 1: that these youths were all of color. I suppose otherwise
- 12:48Speaker 1: it wouldn't be racism or something.
- 12:52Speaker 2: Which that was never a part of the reporting on Friday.
- 12:55Speaker 2: And as you clearly said, you and I nor Signal
- 12:58Speaker 2: ninety nine a thing about the racial makeup of the
- 13:02Speaker 2: youth that were down there. We just know they were
- 13:04Speaker 2: down there. There was a problem, and it was underreported,
- 13:08Speaker 2: or better way to say it, it was not reported.
- 13:10Speaker 2: And if it wasn't for Signal ninety nine, you and
- 13:13Speaker 2: I wouldn't even be talking about it this morning. So
- 13:15Speaker 2: I want to thank her and applaud her for continuing
- 13:18Speaker 2: to provide this information. And I really like when you
- 13:21Speaker 2: have her on your show because she gives details that
- 13:25Speaker 2: I don't care what her sources are. All I care
- 13:27Speaker 2: about is that the sources are accurate, and so she
- 13:30Speaker 2: provides information to the public that nobody else is willing
- 13:34Speaker 2: to share. This is a talking point from the Democrats
- 13:38Speaker 2: who fear her reporting. We actually have somebody in this
- 13:42Speaker 2: town that's willing to put it out there and tell
- 13:44Speaker 2: us what is going on. And I wanted to spend
- 13:47Speaker 2: a little time in this segment lifting her up and
- 13:50Speaker 2: showing her appreciation for what she's doing and what we
- 13:54Speaker 2: need her to continue to do. Let me also pivot
- 13:57Speaker 2: here and say this motto that people have black lives matter. Now.
- 14:04Speaker 2: I want to be clear about this. I believe that
- 14:07Speaker 2: black lives matter. I also believe that white lives matter.
- 14:12Speaker 2: I also believe that Latino life matters. I also believe
- 14:16Speaker 2: that Asian life matters. I believe that life matters. Here's
- 14:21Speaker 2: the cures that. Here's the kicker. Putting a mural in
- 14:24Speaker 2: front of city Hall doesn't really mean that you believe
- 14:28Speaker 2: that black lives matter. Love is a verb. You've got
- 14:32Speaker 2: to do something about it. Today. There will be no
- 14:35Speaker 2: press conferences. There'll be no new policies launched. There'll be
- 14:39Speaker 2: nothing coming from city Hall after a week a bloody
- 14:42Speaker 2: weekend of a triple homicide, a fourth homicide, a double shooting,
- 14:47Speaker 2: disorderly conduct in two different of our major parks in
- 14:50Speaker 2: our neighborhood, and some kind of disturbance in downtown on
- 14:54Speaker 2: Friday during Juneteenth and Father's Day weekend. I don't know
- 14:58Speaker 2: about the race of everybody, but I know the people
- 15:00Speaker 2: that were murdered were all black Americans. I don't get
- 15:05Speaker 2: how this mayor and this council wake up, look in
- 15:08Speaker 2: the mirror and say, man, we've got an epidemic happening
- 15:11Speaker 2: right now. The weather is changing. Black Americans are shooting
- 15:15Speaker 2: each other in the street, and they say nothing about it.
- 15:19Speaker 2: Brian Thomas. Now the next ribbing cutting they have, they'll
- 15:22Speaker 2: say something about it. Or if a group of white
- 15:25Speaker 2: people are getting the crap beat out of them in
- 15:27Speaker 2: the middle of downtown, they'll say, let's hold a press
- 15:30Speaker 2: conference in demand that a white person be arrested. I'm
- 15:33Speaker 2: saying the blood baths that are happening every weekend. And
- 15:37Speaker 2: by the way, I'm not a hypocrite. When I was
- 15:40Speaker 2: the chair of Law and Public Safety, bring on Hope
- 15:44Speaker 2: Dunley and she will tell you I constantly brought those
- 15:47Speaker 2: mothers there talk to the police. I constantly called and
- 15:51Speaker 2: asked them for updates on those cold cases, trying to
- 15:55Speaker 2: solve those murders, trying to put people who murder people
- 15:58Speaker 2: with guns in our street, no matter what their race was,
- 16:01Speaker 2: put them under the jail. I have a long history
- 16:04Speaker 2: of showing from the floor of council that I believe
- 16:07Speaker 2: in this stuff. I am amazed at the silence. So
- 16:11Speaker 2: don't kill me. Black lives matter. I don't want to
- 16:13Speaker 2: hear about spending two hundred and fifty thousand or a
- 16:16Speaker 2: million dollars in a mural. Nothing coming out of City
- 16:19Speaker 2: Hall tells me that they care. You know what tells me,
- 16:22Speaker 2: Brian Thomas cares. This white American that I'm talking to,
- 16:27Speaker 2: he cares because he talks about it and he gives
- 16:29Speaker 2: people like me a platform. Signal ninety nine cares about
- 16:33Speaker 2: it because she's writing about it. She's bringing it to
- 16:36Speaker 2: our attention. Right, Damon Lynch, who, by the way, he
- 16:40Speaker 2: and I and our family were all members of the
- 16:41Speaker 2: same country club. We swam in the same pool. Right.
- 16:45Speaker 2: He comes from a beautiful family, his father, his mother,
- 16:49Speaker 2: These are beautiful people. I don't ever say anything bad
- 16:52Speaker 2: about Reverend Damon Lynch, the son, the father, or anybody
- 16:55Speaker 2: out of respect for my mother and my father. I'm
- 16:58Speaker 2: asking him, Reverend Damon Lynch, we need to lend a
- 17:02Speaker 2: voice to the murderers that are happening in our community
- 17:06Speaker 2: between black Americans. We just don't want to hear you
- 17:09Speaker 2: show up when a white officer is involved in a
- 17:13Speaker 2: shooting with the youth on the banks who has a gun.
- 17:15Speaker 2: We need you on the front line lending a clear,
- 17:19Speaker 2: concise moral voice here. This is not me calling out
- 17:23Speaker 2: Reverend Damon Lynch. This is saying he will evoke my
- 17:26Speaker 2: name from time to time. I considered him a friend.
- 17:30Speaker 2: We grew up together, our families grow up together, grew
- 17:34Speaker 2: up together, we were members of the same country club.
- 17:37Speaker 2: I don't understand it. We need more Black Americans right now,
- 17:43Speaker 2: not the silent majority saying enough is enough, Brian Thomas.
- 17:48Speaker 2: We cannot continue to have black people murdering each other
- 17:51Speaker 2: every weekend and act like it is nothing. It's just happening.
- 17:55Speaker 2: It's just a part of our culture. It's not well.
- 18:00Speaker 1: Passion is obvious. Christopher and I understand it. And you know,
- 18:02Speaker 1: every opportunity where a black person guns down another black
- 18:07Speaker 1: person for whatever reason, should be when the black community
- 18:10Speaker 1: leaders stand up and say, what in the hell is
- 18:13Speaker 1: going on? You are murdering your own people. Black lives matter,
- 18:17Speaker 1: so why are you killing them? It seems like a
- 18:20Speaker 1: logical step to just get out there and say that
- 18:23Speaker 1: and do it. Be self critical, be introspective about where
- 18:25Speaker 1: the problems came from. Offer some solutions that don't involve
- 18:29Speaker 1: taxpayer money, for non governmental organizations to go out and
- 18:33Speaker 1: do work in the community. It's got to be more
- 18:36Speaker 1: than some governmental fix or solution to this. It's got
- 18:38Speaker 1: to be people starting to care about their own neighborhoods
- 18:41Speaker 1: and their own families. Where do all these youths come
- 18:44Speaker 1: from that are running around at all hours of the day.
- 18:47Speaker 1: Have they no family life? Maybe that's something that needs
- 18:49Speaker 1: to be looked into.
- 18:50Speaker 2: Perhaps our parents, our parents parenting, That is definitely a
- 18:54Speaker 2: part of it. But it doesn't take organizations like Black
- 18:58Speaker 2: Lives Matter also hook because here's this morning is where
- 19:03Speaker 2: we need to see the press conference show us that
- 19:06Speaker 2: black lives matter. When you deal with where the greatest
- 19:09Speaker 2: violence and murders are happening. They're happening between Black Americans
- 19:14Speaker 2: in Cincinnati. Now, if you go out to California, might
- 19:17Speaker 2: be Latinos who are doing it. I'm talking about where
- 19:20Speaker 2: I live. I'm saying, when I wake up and I
- 19:22Speaker 2: look at the news this weekend, four homicides, all of
- 19:26Speaker 2: them African Americans, I'm saying, we need a press conference
- 19:30Speaker 2: from Black Lives Matter on the steps of city Hall
- 19:33Speaker 2: show us love is a verb by calling attention to
- 19:36Speaker 2: it and demanding that the community cooperate. Because we've got
- 19:40Speaker 2: four homicides and no arrests. We've got four homicides and
- 19:44Speaker 2: no arrests every single weekend don't tell me that you
- 19:48Speaker 2: don't know who shot four people. There are people in
- 19:51Speaker 2: our community who know exactly who did the shooting. We
- 19:54Speaker 2: need them to cooperate with our great Cincinnati Police Department
- 19:57Speaker 2: so we can arrest them. We need judges Hamilton County
- 20:00Speaker 2: who believe that black lives batter, who will give bills
- 20:04Speaker 2: and hold them accountable and then put them under the
- 20:06Speaker 2: jail for murdering four people. You know it wasn't you
- 20:09Speaker 2: know we say a mass shooting is I thinks the
- 20:12Speaker 2: FBI says four people. It might be above three, but
- 20:15Speaker 2: I think it's four people. So just because there were
- 20:18Speaker 2: three to one place, one another place, it wasn't a
- 20:20Speaker 2: mass shooting. That is a horrible weekend for the Seas.
- 20:24Speaker 2: Since that, we're looking more and more like Chicago, brother,
- 20:26Speaker 2: We're looking more and more like Detroit. Brother. We have
- 20:29Speaker 2: got to turn the table. We have an absent mayor,
- 20:32Speaker 2: we have an absent members of council who seem to
- 20:36Speaker 2: just neglect their responsibilities. Bottom line here is, I'm gonna
- 20:40Speaker 2: call it out, Brian. There's gonna be something bad that's
- 20:43Speaker 2: gonna happen in our city. And I hate to tell
- 20:45Speaker 2: you that. Right they're gonna jump the wrong person. They're
- 20:49Speaker 2: gonna attack the wrong family, and that person is gonna
- 20:53Speaker 2: be like me, sir. They are concealed carry and they
- 20:57Speaker 2: are not gonna allow their wife, their daughter, themselves be
- 21:01Speaker 2: beat to death. They're gonna say, twelve in the box.
- 21:05Speaker 2: I'd rather take my chances there than to have you
- 21:08Speaker 2: take my life and kick my hand in and kick
- 21:11Speaker 2: my eyeballs out. I'm not gonna allow it. I'm just
- 21:14Speaker 2: telling you, Brian Thomas, we are headed here for a
- 21:16Speaker 2: freight traine and we have an absent mayor that just
- 21:19Speaker 2: will not call law enforcement and say, guys, ladies, do
- 21:22Speaker 2: your job. CPD. We support you. There are lots of
- 21:26Speaker 2: people out here, all across our community who support you.
- 21:30Speaker 2: We love you. We have your back. Even when the
- 21:32Speaker 2: mayor doesn't have your back, we have your back, even
- 21:35Speaker 2: when city council doesn't have your back. We have your back.
- 21:38Speaker 2: Go out there, do your jobs, do proactive policing, get
- 21:42Speaker 2: these guns off these youths, and we will have your back.
- 21:45Speaker 2: Bottom line. That's where we have to be, Brian Thomas.
- 21:47Speaker 2: We've got to take our city back, and we've got
- 21:49Speaker 2: to do it with the first line of defense. Our
- 21:51Speaker 2: Cincinnati Police Department.
- 21:53Speaker 1: Yeah, poor starts in the home too. One may make
- 21:55Speaker 1: a great argument on that you never have to get
- 21:57Speaker 1: to police involvement if you start from the home and
- 22:00Speaker 1: take an active, caring role in the raising of your children.
- 22:03Speaker 1: On the heels of Father's Day, Christopher Smithman, thank you
- 22:06Speaker 1: very much for your passionate defense of the city of
- 22:08Speaker 1: Cincinnati and for law enforcement. Appreciate it. We'll do this
