0:00
Speaker 1: Are to welcome in once again the one time Vice
0:02
Speaker 1: mayor of the City of Cincinnati, Chris Smitheman. And Chris Smitheman,
0:05
Speaker 1: how you doing today, Hey.
0:07
Speaker 2: I'm doing good, brother. Thank you so much for having me, Hon.
0:11
Speaker 2: It's certainly good to hear your White House listening to
0:14
Speaker 2: this Epstein file's list, and one of the things I
0:17
Speaker 2: was doing, I said, well, I hope he doesn't say
0:20
Speaker 2: my name.
0:21
Speaker 1: No, you are, you're not. Look, you're an a list
0:25
Speaker 1: or in my book, but you didn't make that list.
0:27
Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of big names on there.
0:29
Speaker 1: And you texted me Mike Pence question mark. Yeah, So
0:33
Speaker 1: I mean, look, people need to understand just because your
0:36
Speaker 1: name is on that list doesn't mean it. I mean,
0:38
Speaker 1: Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley are in the Epstein file,
0:42
Speaker 1: so it could be it could be any reference. Again,
0:46
Speaker 1: and they talked about Look, did they talk about articles
0:49
Speaker 1: that are mentioned in their emails that went back and forth,
0:52
Speaker 1: the stuff that is not connected to any of the
0:54
Speaker 1: And look, I don't I don't mean to make light.
0:56
Speaker 1: I laugh a little bit, but I don't mean to
1:00
Speaker 1: take light of any of the atrocities, any of the
1:03
Speaker 1: illegal stuff that went on with regard to Epstein. Chris
1:07
Speaker 1: Smith and I think we're of the same mind on
1:09
Speaker 1: this that if there are individual that engaged in some
1:13
Speaker 1: of these horrific acts with young women and abuse them
1:16
Speaker 1: in any way, laid a hand on them, did anything
1:19
Speaker 1: like that, I don't care who they are, they need
1:23
Speaker 1: to be held accountable for that.
1:25
Speaker 2: Go to jail. One hundred percent. I agree, throw away
1:28
Speaker 2: the key. No matter what the political party, and no
1:31
Speaker 2: matter what their status is in America or the world,
1:35
Speaker 2: they all should go to jail. One percent agree. Very
1:38
Speaker 2: serious topic, a very serious topic, and my heart goes
1:42
Speaker 2: out to all of the victims that were involved in
1:45
Speaker 2: the Epstein sex scandal. It was horrible, horrible for our country.
1:52
Speaker 2: Let me start off and say this to you. Let
1:55
Speaker 2: me just give a shout out personally, if you'll allow
1:58
Speaker 2: me some professional courtesy to a Seaton swim team. You
2:02
Speaker 2: did a great job this weekend. Yeah, you know, my
2:05
Speaker 2: daughter is a varsity swimmer. I'm so proud of her.
2:07
Speaker 2: But I like to talk about the team and this big,
2:11
Speaker 2: big picture. And there was one young lady, her name
2:14
Speaker 2: was Sarah, and Sarah swam and she lost. It's one
2:18
Speaker 2: of these lessons that I you know, we try to
2:20
Speaker 2: tell young people. And what I loved about this situation
2:24
Speaker 2: is Sarah came over to her mom and came to
2:28
Speaker 2: her family for support. My family gave her that support,
2:31
Speaker 2: which was awesome. Then she went and did a warm
2:34
Speaker 2: down and came back and won the next race. It
2:41
Speaker 2: was such an amazing lesson, and it was like, here
2:45
Speaker 2: she is swimming, and she's like, no, this is I'm Sarah,
2:50
Speaker 2: and I'm going to get back in this pool and
2:53
Speaker 2: I'm gonna make it happen. It was one of the
2:54
Speaker 2: most remarkable swims that I've seen in the four years
2:57
Speaker 2: my daughter's been swimming. But my hat's off Seaton and
3:01
Speaker 2: let me just jump right into this id stuff. Man. Look,
3:04
Speaker 2: African Americans are not dumb. We are very smart. I
3:09
Speaker 2: am tired of Democratic leaders playing us, manipulating us, acting
3:16
Speaker 2: as if we don't know our history.
3:19
Speaker 1: Dan Carroll well of the composite by Democrats across the
3:24
Speaker 1: board on this.
3:26
Speaker 2: We are not stupid, and that is why you see
3:29
Speaker 2: so many African Americans, I think it's in the seventies
3:32
Speaker 2: have seventy percent, seventy three or seventy five percent have
3:35
Speaker 2: no problems with IDs to vote. You need an ID
3:39
Speaker 2: to buy alcohol, you need an ID to get in
3:42
Speaker 2: and visit your congressional member. You need an ID to
3:45
Speaker 2: cast your government check. You need an ID to open
3:48
Speaker 2: up a bank account, you need a ID to buy cigarettes,
3:51
Speaker 2: you need an ID to go into a club. I mean,
3:53
Speaker 2: there's nowhere in America you don't need an ID. This
3:56
Speaker 2: notion that African Americans are walking around without our identification,
4:01
Speaker 2: whether that's a state ID or whether it's a driver's license,
4:04
Speaker 2: is insane. And so the notion, the reality of it
4:07
Speaker 2: is when I heard Schumer, and I'm serious about this,
4:11
Speaker 2: this is the stuff that makes me really angry. This
4:14
Speaker 2: Democrat talking about poll taxes and Jim Crow. The audacity
4:19
Speaker 2: of him to have that come out of his mouth
4:22
Speaker 2: when he knows that it was the Democrats in the
4:26
Speaker 2: South that brought us the poll tax. It's the Democrats
4:29
Speaker 2: in the South that brought us Jim Crow right. The
4:32
Speaker 2: reality is George Wallace, the governor, said degregation today, degregation tomorrow,
4:38
Speaker 2: segregation forever. That was a Democrat for him to get
4:42
Speaker 2: out there and act as if African Americans are now
4:47
Speaker 2: going to connect the voter ID, meaning we want elections
4:51
Speaker 2: that are free in America. We want elections that are
4:54
Speaker 2: fair in America. I don't have any African Americans walking
4:57
Speaker 2: around in my life in my circle, which is pretty
5:00
Speaker 2: big saying hey, I have a problem with this, and
5:03
Speaker 2: also that I am interested in having a democratic process
5:08
Speaker 2: that is fair. When the election is over, we want
5:10
Speaker 2: to know. Here's what this is about. This is all
5:13
Speaker 2: about having people illegally vote in our elections. And so
5:18
Speaker 2: you have Democrats that are literally saying, listen, photo IDs
5:21
Speaker 2: is undermining the black community, is undermining poor white people.
5:25
Speaker 2: What are they talking about. They act as if we're fools.
5:28
Speaker 2: This is about people that they want to vote in
5:32
Speaker 2: our elections illegally. And so the whole ice thing that
5:36
Speaker 2: we're talking about has everything to do with the same
5:38
Speaker 2: thing I'm talking about right now. And I will say
5:40
Speaker 2: to you this is why they try The Democrats are
5:43
Speaker 2: trying to dumb down African American voters. And I promise
5:47
Speaker 2: you we are not taking debate.
5:50
Speaker 1: All right, Well, chris villeman, stay right there. We've got
5:52
Speaker 1: to get to a quick break and we'll continue on
5:54
Speaker 1: the other side. On fifty five KRCV talk station seven
6:02
Speaker 1: nine back with Christopher Smith Smithman and the Smith event,
6:06
Speaker 1: and so Chris Smitherman, you know, you were talking about
6:09
Speaker 1: this notion of Jim Crow two point zero, And I
6:11
Speaker 1: just wonder how do we get to the point in
6:13
Speaker 1: this country to where we cannot even agree on things.
6:17
Speaker 1: I just read a piece where John Kennedy got President
6:20
Speaker 1: Trump to sign a bill into law that we stop
6:25
Speaker 1: sending government checks to people who have passed away, and
6:28
Speaker 1: he got for four years. He got pushback on that.
6:31
Speaker 1: Of course, the notion that you would have to show
6:34
Speaker 1: id and we want to have secure elections, we get
6:37
Speaker 1: pushed back on that. When USAID was exposed for sending
6:42
Speaker 1: these billions of dollars overseas for all these idiotic, stupid
6:46
Speaker 1: activities and things that were being supported by American taxpayer dollars,
6:51
Speaker 1: there is still pushback on people who don't want to
6:54
Speaker 1: end any of that. In some cases federal judges say
6:57
Speaker 1: that you have to keep sending that money overseas. How
7:00
Speaker 1: do we on issues like this where everybody should be
7:06
Speaker 1: just on the most basic level of the same mind
7:09
Speaker 1: to stop this fraud, waste, and abuse. How do we
7:11
Speaker 1: get so separated on issues like that that we can't
7:15
Speaker 1: even find common ground? To bring those kind of common
7:18
Speaker 1: sense things to a reasonable conclusion, because.
7:22
Speaker 3: A lot of those democratic organizations who are receiving that
7:27
Speaker 3: fraudulent money are paying.
7:29
Speaker 2: Off the protesters that you're seeing in our streets. And
7:32
Speaker 2: so this is how money flows through federal governments, goes
7:36
Speaker 2: into these nonprofit organizations, and they then send the money
7:40
Speaker 2: out across the world to undermine the interests of America.
7:43
Speaker 2: That is what is happening. It's not complicated, and I
7:46
Speaker 2: know you know it, and that braw continues to be
7:49
Speaker 2: exposed right now. We're seeing it in one part of
7:52
Speaker 2: the country, but it's all over the country. And the
7:55
Speaker 2: government shutdown. A lot of people don't know we're in
7:57
Speaker 2: a government shutdown. Csa H aren't being paid. Eventually, it's
8:01
Speaker 2: going to impact flights like it did the last time.
8:04
Speaker 2: You'll see the Transportation Secretary come out. Secretary Transportation Duffy's
8:09
Speaker 2: going to come out and say we've got to start
8:10
Speaker 2: reducing flight ten percent, twenty percent as long as this
8:14
Speaker 2: thing goes on. So remember the heart of this is
8:17
Speaker 2: they're saying they want ICE to be brought under control.
8:22
Speaker 2: The reality is every democratic and Republican president used ice,
8:28
Speaker 2: deported people out of this country. As a matter of fact,
8:31
Speaker 2: President Barack Obama did it. Tom Homan was his guy,
8:35
Speaker 2: the guy that is now working for President Trump. People
8:38
Speaker 2: forget that he was given an award by President Obama
8:41
Speaker 2: for the great job he did for These are all
8:44
Speaker 2: true things. When you tell Democrats these things, it makes
8:47
Speaker 2: them so angry. Like I'm just telling the truth. No
8:50
Speaker 2: one comes behind me when I get off this radio
8:53
Speaker 2: and say, hey man, Dan Carroll, what that guy did
8:55
Speaker 2: just wasn't true. Let me correct the record. They can't
8:58
Speaker 2: say that the discussion that we're having is false. They
9:01
Speaker 2: just say, why is he talking about it? And when
9:03
Speaker 2: he talks about it, they then start throwing insults. Well,
9:06
Speaker 2: he's not black, he's an uncle Tom, he's a sellout,
9:09
Speaker 2: he's all these things, Like, for example, when I say
9:12
Speaker 2: Lincoln signed an executive order for the Emancipation Proclamation, fact
9:18
Speaker 2: he was a Republican. When you go into our Cincinnati
9:20
Speaker 2: public schools, they'll say the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. They
9:25
Speaker 2: might say that Lincoln signed it or or initiated it,
9:28
Speaker 2: but they'll never say Lincoln necessarily was a Republican. They'll
9:32
Speaker 2: never say. They'll say the Thirteenth Amendment brought freedom to
9:35
Speaker 2: African Americans in this country, but they'll never tell you
9:38
Speaker 2: who voted for it. They'll never say Republicans voted for
9:41
Speaker 2: the Thirteenth Amendment and disproportionately Democrats voted against it. So
9:46
Speaker 2: the problem with what we're dealing with a lot with
9:49
Speaker 2: our education is our public school systems and our school
9:52
Speaker 2: systems in general, continue to fail our children. They're unwilling
9:56
Speaker 2: to tell the truth about our history. So you and
9:58
Speaker 2: I are always having conversations out of content. If I
10:02
Speaker 2: said who George Wallace is, they would say, well, I
10:05
Speaker 2: kind of know about George Wallace. If I said segregation today,
10:08
Speaker 2: segregation tomorrow, segregation forever, people would say, yes, I remember that.
10:13
Speaker 2: That's a famous quote. But they'll never tell you that
10:16
Speaker 2: that was a Democrat who said that. Who is down
10:19
Speaker 2: there blocking our children from getting a good education in America?
10:23
Speaker 2: We're talking black Americans. The problem is all of the misinformation.
10:27
Speaker 2: The way you can give information is you can tell
10:30
Speaker 2: us the old truth, or you can just say I'm
10:32
Speaker 2: not gonna I'm gonna leave large pieces of history out
10:35
Speaker 2: and so they just don't talk about it. The point
10:38
Speaker 2: is that's why this id conversation we're having a showdown
10:41
Speaker 2: regarding Ice. If you go out and you pull Americans,
10:44
Speaker 2: you don't tell them Republican or Democrats. You just say, listen,
10:47
Speaker 2: do you think somebody should come into our country illegally?
10:50
Speaker 2: Do you think that a country should have open borders?
10:52
Speaker 2: People will say no, I don't think that. No, I
10:54
Speaker 2: don't think that. Right. If you say, well, what do
10:56
Speaker 2: you think about ice? I don't know about ice. Because
10:58
Speaker 2: they're pumping this thing up that Ice is so bad
11:02
Speaker 2: that these men and women, these federal agents that are
11:04
Speaker 2: out there pulling rapists, murderers, gang members out of our
11:10
Speaker 2: communities in some way are bad. They're not bad, Dan Carroll.
11:14
Speaker 2: These people are out here doing their job. Now, are
11:17
Speaker 2: there mistakes? Yes, are people caught up in the drag
11:20
Speaker 2: net at sometimes yes, that's true, But our system has
11:24
Speaker 2: to sort that out. But the reality of it is,
11:27
Speaker 2: if you came into the country illegally, you came in
11:29
Speaker 2: here illegally. This notion that you didn't break the law.
11:32
Speaker 2: If you ask Democrats, coming into the country for them
11:35
Speaker 2: is not illegal. It is illegal. If you come into
11:38
Speaker 2: our country illegally, you've already broken the law. So then
11:40
Speaker 2: when you get behind a car, you're drinking, you're driving,
11:43
Speaker 2: and you kill an American family, We're gonna deport you.
11:46
Speaker 2: We're gonna prosecute you and deport you. I don't understand why,
11:50
Speaker 2: in your initial comment to me, why that's not common
11:53
Speaker 2: ground for every single American in this country. I don't
11:57
Speaker 2: understand it. Evil.
11:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know in law locally, when I see
12:01
Speaker 1: these high school kids walking out of turp In High school,
12:04
Speaker 1: they walked down a walna and it surprised me a
12:06
Speaker 1: little bit. Wanta Hill's High School fell for this hook
12:10
Speaker 1: line and sinker. They had a walk out. Princeton High
12:12
Speaker 1: School just last week, had kids walk out and they
12:16
Speaker 1: and they talk about how they're anti ice and they
12:20
Speaker 1: don't want ice rounding up immigrants, and I wonder how
12:23
Speaker 1: much they really know about these issues. And when you
12:26
Speaker 1: listen to them speak, it turns out all they're doing
12:30
Speaker 1: is just repeating the same DNC talking points on this
12:34
Speaker 1: that you can hear just about anywhere. And it doesn't
12:38
Speaker 1: seem like they're really getting an education on this at
12:41
Speaker 1: all and getting the full story, which they should be
12:44
Speaker 1: getting if they would stay in class. Chris, you got
12:46
Speaker 1: time for one more segment, right, all right? Stay right there.
12:50
Speaker 1: We'll get to a quick break and continue on with
12:53
Speaker 1: chrispin on seven on fifty five KRS Detalk Station seven
13:03
Speaker 1: thirty nine. On this Monday morning, we continue our conversation
13:06
Speaker 1: with Chris Smithman and the smith Event and Chris. Today
13:09
Speaker 1: the Inquirer has a piece about the police chief. What's
13:13
Speaker 1: happening with the investigation. That's a city Halls act, a
13:16
Speaker 1: black hole of information as far as that is concerned.
13:20
Speaker 1: Signal ninety nine laid out what happened over the weekend
13:24
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. A bloody twenty four hours and early morning
13:27
Speaker 1: shooting on Saturday morning on a bus left a driver dead,
13:31
Speaker 1: a man shot in the face on Greenwood Avenue, a
13:34
Speaker 1: seventeen year old shot on Hawaiian terraced. Then we had
13:38
Speaker 1: the shooting that left too dead at a at a
13:41
Speaker 1: North Side establishment. So it appears that we are two
13:44
Speaker 1: months into the new year and things are status quo
13:48
Speaker 1: unfortunately at city Hall.
13:51
Speaker 2: And I see, you know Signal ninety nine is correct.
13:54
Speaker 3: I mean this is happening in the winter, imagine as
13:57
Speaker 3: things warm up and we moved it to the and
14:01
Speaker 3: again we have elections have consequences, Dan Carroll, and you've
14:05
Speaker 3: got a council down there that they do not support
14:09
Speaker 3: the police department.
14:10
Speaker 2: We're talking nine of them collectively. We've got a mayor
14:14
Speaker 2: who does not support the police department, and so they
14:17
Speaker 2: don't feel supported. They know that if they have a
14:20
Speaker 2: critical incident out here that this council and this mayor
14:24
Speaker 2: and this administration is going to throw them under the bus.
14:27
Speaker 2: And so we're going to have chaos in our streets.
14:29
Speaker 2: And it's why so many citizens are staying home. It's
14:32
Speaker 2: better just to cook at home, watch a movie at home.
14:36
Speaker 2: You know, when you speak about what happened at the
14:38
Speaker 2: North Side, Dan Carroll, that's a mass shooting. Right, four
14:42
Speaker 2: people being shot is a mass shooting. That's a mass shooting.
14:46
Speaker 2: We had a mass shooting this weekend in Cincinnati. That's reality.
14:51
Speaker 2: And then all the other shootings you had on a bus,
14:53
Speaker 2: these people shot in the face and all of that
14:55
Speaker 2: kind of stuff. Now, when you say all of that,
14:57
Speaker 2: you know what's so crazy is it doesn't even deal
14:59
Speaker 2: with the car that were broken into, the people that
15:02
Speaker 2: were assaulted, the people that were stabbed. I mean, there's
15:05
Speaker 2: also this other underbelly of things that are happening. We
15:09
Speaker 2: only talk about the shootings, but they're burglaries that are
15:12
Speaker 2: happening out here. You've got windows being broken out of cars,
15:15
Speaker 2: and people's cars are being stolen all over the city
15:18
Speaker 2: of Cincinnati. And we've got a mayor and a council
15:20
Speaker 2: passing resolutions about ice and things that are happening in
15:25
Speaker 2: US in Minnesota, which is none of their dog on business.
15:28
Speaker 2: And so they're so distracted on these matters, and what
15:31
Speaker 2: they're all trying to do is run for other things,
15:34
Speaker 2: Dan Carroll. You've got a mayor who wants he knows
15:36
Speaker 2: he's turned out. He's thinking about his next move, so
15:39
Speaker 2: he wants a grand stand to the base. You've got
15:42
Speaker 2: nine members of council. You got them out there running
15:45
Speaker 2: for other offices right now as they are members of council.
15:48
Speaker 2: They're grand standing on other issues, and they're completely distracted
15:52
Speaker 2: about the city business, Dan Carroll. And the sad part
15:55
Speaker 2: about it is, as we're in Black History Month, most
15:57
Speaker 2: of those people being shot are African Americans. That's the
16:01
Speaker 2: crazy thing about it. It has nothing to do with guns.
16:04
Speaker 2: It has everything to do with culture. It has everything
16:07
Speaker 2: to do with broken families, it has everything to do
16:10
Speaker 2: with fatherless homes. It has everything to do with being
16:13
Speaker 2: absent from your families and taking care of your business,
16:17
Speaker 2: and governments can't solve this. That's why we need the
16:21
Speaker 2: police department out there doing proactive policing, making sure that
16:25
Speaker 2: they're stopping cars and feeling like they are not going
16:28
Speaker 2: to be murdered because traffic stops aren't normal. There are
16:32
Speaker 2: no normal traffic stops anymore in America. These windows are tenant.
16:37
Speaker 2: You don't know what's going on in the back of
16:38
Speaker 2: that car, and an officer saying, I get to go
16:41
Speaker 2: home to my wife and my kids, just like everybody else,
16:44
Speaker 2: Dan Carolyn. So the reality of it is when you
16:47
Speaker 2: have an anti cop council and anti cop mayor, as
16:51
Speaker 2: you have an anti cop administration, you have mayhem in
16:55
Speaker 2: the streets. That's why you have people saying Cincinnati has
16:58
Speaker 2: got them city. Now, why with someone come to downtown Cincinnati.
17:02
Speaker 2: I respect those businesses that are in downtown Cincinnati, but
17:05
Speaker 2: I'm not willing to risk my life and I'm not
17:08
Speaker 2: willing to have my fire on take somebody else's life
17:11
Speaker 2: and ruin my own life. So people are avoiding our
17:14
Speaker 2: core right now, and if our core is dying, the
17:17
Speaker 2: city is dying, and we have a mayor and a
17:19
Speaker 2: council absolutely not interested in fixing the problem.
17:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think you make a good point when
17:24
Speaker 1: you talk about a mayor who is turning. If I'm
17:28
Speaker 1: not mistaken, he is term limited out. So this is
17:30
Speaker 1: the last time that Aftab Purval is going to be
17:33
Speaker 1: serving a term as mayor of Cincinnati. And all indicators
17:37
Speaker 1: are is that he is occupying his time looking for
17:41
Speaker 1: whatever his next position is going to be. So does
17:43
Speaker 1: that mean that the city of Cincinnati, that the business
17:47
Speaker 1: of the people of Cincinnati sort of gets put on
17:50
Speaker 1: his back burner and that he's got more pressing issues
17:53
Speaker 1: to attend to.
17:54
Speaker 2: Yes, that's why you see him on CNN. That's why
17:58
Speaker 2: he was on CNN. That's why you'll see him on MSNBC.
18:01
Speaker 2: This guy is interested in running national he wants to
18:04
Speaker 2: be on somebody's ticket. He's trying to figure out what
18:07
Speaker 2: his next move is. And then the nine members of
18:09
Speaker 2: counselor are grand standing on who's going to be the
18:11
Speaker 2: next mayor. So they're all down there pivoting for the
18:14
Speaker 2: next step, the next election, the who's going to be
18:17
Speaker 2: the next mayor. They are not focused on our city
18:20
Speaker 2: and I will tell you, Look, the most important business
18:24
Speaker 2: of any mayor is keeping us safe. There's nothing more important.
18:28
Speaker 2: I don't think if you, if you survey all the neighborhoods,
18:31
Speaker 2: what's your number one issue? Being safe? They are absent
18:34
Speaker 2: on the number one issue, meaning fire and police. I
18:38
Speaker 2: want to make sure that if I have a fire,
18:39
Speaker 2: or my loved one is having a heart attack, I've
18:42
Speaker 2: got EMS or a firefighter to respond. Or if there's
18:45
Speaker 2: an if there's an active shooter, or there something critical
18:48
Speaker 2: happening in my life and I called nine to one one,
18:51
Speaker 2: I want to make sure that someone calls. How do
18:53
Speaker 2: we have nine to one one call center? Any employee
18:56
Speaker 2: posting up where ICE people are on Facebook? That's insane?
19:01
Speaker 2: You know this active? How does that happen, Dad Carroll?
19:05
Speaker 2: Where somebody working over at the nine one one call
19:08
Speaker 2: center is posting on Facebook? Hey, ICE is over on
19:11
Speaker 2: the west side of town. Avoid it. If they're in
19:14
Speaker 2: our city community and ICE is looking for someone, please
19:18
Speaker 2: listen closely. They're looking for a gang member, they're looking
19:22
Speaker 2: for a rapist. They're looking for somebody who has broken
19:25
Speaker 2: the law, even beyond breaking into our country. These are
19:29
Speaker 2: bad people that they're looking for. Why would a nine
19:32
Speaker 2: to one one call center employee put out where ICE
19:36
Speaker 2: is going trying to get the bad people? You know why?
19:38
Speaker 2: Because they support criminals more than they support anybody else.
19:43
Speaker 2: Is these are this is a party right now who
19:45
Speaker 2: I don't even recognize, who puts criminals before law abiding
19:49
Speaker 2: American citizens. That's why you have victims that have been
19:53
Speaker 2: murdered out here that they don't talk about, they don't
19:56
Speaker 2: march about, they don't protest about. Meaning you have somebody
19:59
Speaker 2: in our country illegally that murders somebody. You don't hear
20:03
Speaker 2: about that from those who protest. What you hear about
20:06
Speaker 2: is a pedophile that the ICE agent is pulling out
20:08
Speaker 2: of a house as you have protesters on the outside
20:11
Speaker 2: saying Ice, Ice, Ice and blowing a whistle, Dan Carroll,
20:15
Speaker 2: it doesn't make sense.
20:17
Speaker 1: Well, what else doesn't make sense is that you've got
20:20
Speaker 1: Tim Walls, the governor of Minnesota, talking about how the
20:24
Speaker 1: Trump administration in Washington, DC needs to cut a check
20:28
Speaker 1: to Minnesota to pay for what they broke, when it
20:31
Speaker 1: was the governor and the mayor of Minneapolis who were
20:34
Speaker 1: encouraging these people to be out on the streets and
20:37
Speaker 1: engage in the activity that they engaged in. How is
20:40
Speaker 1: that the responsibility of Donald Trump or the Trump administration
20:44
Speaker 1: to now send a check to make Minneapolis hole.
20:49
Speaker 3: It doesn't make it doesn't make any sense. But when
20:51
Speaker 3: you see Cincinnati giving out eight point one million dollars
20:54
Speaker 3: to protesters, right, that'll get your blood boiling, right, Or
20:58
Speaker 3: giving one point something million of dollars to someone who
21:01
Speaker 3: had a gun. When a nine to one one caller
21:03
Speaker 3: called and said, hey, police respond, Hey, how they entered
21:07
Speaker 3: the house? My thought was, it's a nine to one
21:09
Speaker 3: one caller called in said there's something urgent. You don't
21:12
Speaker 3: have to have a search warrant to enter that house.
21:15
Speaker 3: This is all down. Here's what I tell to the community.
21:17
Speaker 3: Why won't counsel put twelve in the box? I want
21:21
Speaker 3: jury trials here, I want to. I want to I
21:23
Speaker 3: want a jury of my peers to give a point
21:26
Speaker 3: one million. You know why they don't do that because
21:28
Speaker 3: they know there's not a jury in our region that
21:30
Speaker 3: would have given those protesters a dime. They also know
21:34
Speaker 3: that there's there's no jury in this dog gone region
21:37
Speaker 3: that would give that person who had a gun one
21:39
Speaker 3: point four or one point two million dollars. So all
21:42
Speaker 3: of this is is a council and a mayor and
21:46
Speaker 3: an administration that is attempting to reward criminals for bad behavior.
21:51
Speaker 3: I want to reiterate when we talk about Black History
21:54
Speaker 3: Months right now, the best thing that we can do.
21:57
Speaker 3: Dedicate ourself to education, Dedicate ourselves to excellence, Dedicate ourselves
22:01
Speaker 3: to our families, dedicate ourselves to our women, dedicate ourselves
22:06
Speaker 3: to our fathers. Focus on our families, and handle our business.
22:10
Speaker 3: Get up every day, go to work, participating your four
22:13
Speaker 3: to one K plans.
22:14
Speaker 2: Invest in your life, save your money, work two jobs
22:17
Speaker 2: if you have to, in order for you to put
22:19
Speaker 2: a down payment on a house, which is still the
22:20
Speaker 2: greatest way to build wealth in America, and stabilize yourself.
22:24
Speaker 2: These are the conversations that we need to be having
22:27
Speaker 2: in the black community, not whether the Democrats are trying
22:30
Speaker 2: to push on us. Dan Carrol that we some way
22:32
Speaker 2: should be scared of the boogeyman because the Republicans are
22:35
Speaker 2: saying you need a state ID or a driver's license
22:38
Speaker 2: to vote in a legal election in a democracy. I
22:42
Speaker 2: want to know at the end of the election, as
22:44
Speaker 2: doctor King wanted to know that the election was fair
22:47
Speaker 2: and transparent, and the only way you do that is
22:50
Speaker 2: that you have legal people participating in the dog one election.
22:54
Speaker 2: Why do the Democrats keep pushing this crap onto the
22:57
Speaker 2: African American community active as if we do not have identification.
23:03
Speaker 2: I want to tell everybody listening to this, African Americans
23:06
Speaker 2: have nothing to do with this. We have driver's license,
23:09
Speaker 2: we have state IDs, We get up every day and
23:12
Speaker 2: go to work. We are working our butts off like
23:14
Speaker 2: any other Americans. Stop listening to these liberal Democrats in Washington,
23:19
Speaker 2: DC that are trying to tell you otherwise.
23:21
Speaker 1: Well, I would argue that filling out your average tax
23:24
Speaker 1: return is a hell of a lot more complicated than
23:28
Speaker 1: being able to secure a birth certificate or documentation that
23:31
Speaker 1: you're an American citizen. But yet the government fully expects
23:34
Speaker 1: you to comply with that, because after all, that keeps
23:38
Speaker 1: the money flowing in. Chris Smitherman, we got to run
23:41
Speaker 1: as always appreciate the time. If people want to follow
23:44
Speaker 1: you on X, where do they do that?
23:47
Speaker 2: Please call? Please follow me at vote Smitherman. That's really
23:50
Speaker 2: important because what it does is you get those updates
23:53
Speaker 2: as I come back on the next Monday. Dan Carrol
23:55
Speaker 2: thank you so much for having me on.
23:56
Speaker 1: Thank you Chris, we'll talk to you again soon, and
