Latest / Brian Thomas / The "Smither-vent" - Episode 149 - Democrat hypocrisy in full effect
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Twenty two. Happy Monday. It's that time of week we
- 0:03Speaker 1: get the benefit of the former Vice Mayor of the
- 0:05Speaker 1: City of Cincinnati's words of wisdom, Christopher Smithman for the
- 0:08Speaker 1: Christopher smither Van. Welcome back, Christopher, my dear friends. Great
- 0:11Speaker 1: heaving you on as always.
- 0:13Speaker 2: Oh thanks for having me on. Brian, I tell you
- 0:18Speaker 2: I see in the news and there's going to be
- 0:21Speaker 2: a couple of angles. Just brought him a drive by
- 0:24Speaker 2: shooting this morning at three am in the West End.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Three a m. You have a drive by in the
- 0:30Speaker 2: West End. Now, there's so many moving parts to that.
- 0:33Speaker 2: One is just basic safety because you're spraying bullets out
- 0:36Speaker 2: of a car, so anybody can get hurt. That is
- 0:40Speaker 2: that is so crazy. The second part about that is
- 0:45Speaker 2: that it's so underreported, so you gotta search for it
- 0:50Speaker 2: if Fox nineteen doesn't report it. Brian Thomas, I have
- 0:55Speaker 2: seen this, this movement where Fox nineteen reports, then it
- 1:00Speaker 2: takes a while, then maybe you'll see twelve and then
- 1:04Speaker 2: five and nine are kind of like, we don't report
- 1:07Speaker 2: it at all, or we're blacking it out. It's there
- 1:11Speaker 2: is a movement, and I think it's coming from the
- 1:13Speaker 2: Mayor's office. Trying to put pressure on these newsrooms, these
- 1:19Speaker 2: editorial boards to not report the crime that it's happening
- 1:24Speaker 2: in Cincinnati, and it's absolutely crazy. Having been the vice
- 1:28Speaker 2: mayor of the city, I can see it. I can
- 1:30Speaker 2: see this underreporting pattern. But I'm gonna tell you, dude,
- 1:35Speaker 2: drive by shooting three am in the morning. The mayor
- 1:39Speaker 2: cannot continue to tell Cincinnatians that Cincinnati is safe. It's
- 1:44Speaker 2: just not. And you and I know most likely the
- 1:48Speaker 2: shooters were Black Americans. And for someone to say that,
- 1:52Speaker 2: oh man, you're a racist, or or you're an Uncle Tom,
- 1:56Speaker 2: or you're listen. We have got to begin to deal
- 2:01Speaker 2: with why this violence at the root is happening now.
- 2:05Speaker 2: One of those reasons, Brian Thomas, is that Cincinnati will
- 2:10Speaker 2: not enforce the law. So you capture somebody, you put
- 2:14Speaker 2: them in jail, and you let them out on Monday.
- 2:17Speaker 2: You arrest them on Friday, they're out on Monday. They
- 2:19Speaker 2: had a gun, they shot at somebody, or they have
- 2:21Speaker 2: no bill at all. This parah fives black communities because
- 2:27Speaker 2: you know this is a shooter, you know that they
- 2:31Speaker 2: were involved in a shooting. You know they say if
- 2:34Speaker 2: you tell somebody something, you're gonna get stitches, and the
- 2:37Speaker 2: court system just lets them right back out into the community.
- 2:41Speaker 2: I don't understand what's happening with our judges. I don't
- 2:44Speaker 2: know what is going on and why they're making these decisions.
- 2:47Speaker 2: But these are people who are continuing over and over again,
- 2:52Speaker 2: the same shooters, the same group of people, and they
- 2:56Speaker 2: continue to just commit crimes over and over and over again. Brian,
- 3:00Speaker 2: Cincinnati is not safe. I have no confidence in our mayor.
- 3:05Speaker 2: I have very little confidence collectively in the city council
- 3:10Speaker 2: right and it's just because they continue to ignore the
- 3:14Speaker 2: big problem is how do they keep our fifty two
- 3:16Speaker 2: neighborhoods safe?
- 3:18Speaker 1: Ryan Thomas, we'll bring Christopher Smithvan back more of this
- 3:22Speaker 1: Smither event this Monday. It's seven twenty six right now,
- 3:24Speaker 1: fifty five kr SE the talk station. Well, I get
- 3:26Speaker 1: to mention Gabe the.
- 3:27Speaker 2: Talk station.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Seven thirty fifty five KRCIT the talk station, and it's Monday,
- 3:32Speaker 1: which means we're in the middle of the Smither vent.
- 3:34Speaker 1: Former vice mayor of the City of Sincinni Christopher smith
- 3:36Speaker 1: Van joins the program every Monday talk about stuff and
- 3:38Speaker 1: things and started out about violence. Christopher more on that
- 3:42Speaker 1: or we're gonna pivot over at this point.
- 3:45Speaker 2: We're gonna pivot, pivot. Look, I feel really bad for
- 3:50Speaker 2: the neighborhoods that their basements are flooding out, their businesses
- 3:57Speaker 2: are flooding out. There's so much uncertain certa and ty
- 4:01Speaker 2: every time it rains. Your Top of the Hour story
- 4:05Speaker 2: was just a great lead in. You were talking about
- 4:07Speaker 2: possible rain today, possible rain tomorrow, maybe no rain on Wednesday,
- 4:12Speaker 2: but nobody really knows. The reality of it is that
- 4:16Speaker 2: our infrastructure in Cincinnati is not well and we were
- 4:23Speaker 2: told that selling the railroad for one point six billion
- 4:27Speaker 2: would fix all of this, almost like a wand we
- 4:30Speaker 2: fix it, and that we would have dollars for infrastructure,
- 4:34Speaker 2: which is a part of this conversation. But another part
- 4:38Speaker 2: of this conversation is that elections do have consequences, and
- 4:45Speaker 2: that if you look at many of these neighborhoods and
- 4:48Speaker 2: you ask who did they vote for, that's a fair question,
- 4:55Speaker 2: who did you select as your representative. This doesn't mean
- 5:00Speaker 2: I do not have great empathy, but I want to
- 5:03Speaker 2: be clear if they don't change direction, if they come
- 5:06Speaker 2: back and vote in these same neighborhoods for the exact
- 5:10Speaker 2: same people. Then they're going to continue to get flooded basements,
- 5:16Speaker 2: flooded businesses, flooded streets and no response from council. Is
- 5:21Speaker 2: that a fair assessment, Brian Thomas.
- 5:23Speaker 1: Well, I think it is. But I keep going back
- 5:25Speaker 1: to the fact that only one in four registered voters
- 5:27Speaker 1: in the city even bothered to vote. I mean, not
- 5:32Speaker 1: voting is the same as voting for the status quo.
- 5:34Speaker 1: Are you happy with the situation in downtown?
- 5:37Speaker 2: Said?
- 5:37Speaker 1: You know, ask anybody. I mean, you go around the
- 5:39Speaker 1: various different neighborhoods, you're in touch with the people, You
- 5:42Speaker 1: get your you know, fingers on the pulse of the
- 5:43Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati, Christopher, far more than I do. People
- 5:46Speaker 1: want saved communities. People are not interested in getting rid
- 5:48Speaker 1: of the police, locksnock and barrel. People are interested in
- 5:51Speaker 1: having the roads paved, fix the damn potholes, says so
- 5:54Speaker 1: many people. Is that happening? No, then ask them rather
- 5:57Speaker 1: than who did they vote for? Did they even bother
- 5:59Speaker 1: to go so vote? Therein is a challenge. You can't
- 6:02Speaker 1: get people to the polls. We face a huge hurdle
- 6:04Speaker 1: on that in this November.
- 6:07Speaker 2: I think that's a I think that's absolutely true, right. However,
- 6:12Speaker 2: those people who did vote in some of these neighborhoods
- 6:16Speaker 2: that I see going to city hall right now, they're
- 6:19Speaker 2: asking I would like representation, is what they're saying. I
- 6:23Speaker 2: need help, right, But they also don't take that step.
- 6:26Speaker 2: Eighty five percent of you voted for this mayor eighty
- 6:30Speaker 2: five or eighty percent of you voted for this council.
- 6:34Speaker 2: So the next year, in twenty twenty seven, when city
- 6:37Speaker 2: council is up for election, do you or I expect
- 6:41Speaker 2: the neighborhoods that are complaining right now about their basement flooding,
- 6:46Speaker 2: about their businesses flooding out. Are they going to do
- 6:49Speaker 2: anything different? I say they're not. I say they go
- 6:52Speaker 2: back those twenty percent that vote, those twenty five percent,
- 6:56Speaker 2: the seventy five percent that are on the sidelines, that's horrible.
- 6:59Speaker 2: But the twenty five percent that do show up, I
- 7:02Speaker 2: suggest to the public they're going to continue to vote
- 7:05Speaker 2: in the same direction. Therefore, it becomes harder to have
- 7:10Speaker 2: that empathy for them right as their basements and as
- 7:15Speaker 2: their businesses flood out, because you're going to have to
- 7:19Speaker 2: do something different. If a congressman, former Congressman brad Winstrop
- 7:23Speaker 2: said he was going to run for mayor or he
- 7:25Speaker 2: was going to run for city council. Would you vote
- 7:28Speaker 2: for you? I would mean I'm saying yeah, I'm not
- 7:32Speaker 2: saying he wants to run. If he's listening to this,
- 7:34Speaker 2: I'm not suggesting that. I'm saying there are qualified people
- 7:38Speaker 2: out there who will be on the ballot. I am
- 7:41Speaker 2: always just perplexed by how these neighborhoods continue to vote
- 7:46Speaker 2: for the same people.
- 7:48Speaker 1: It is unbelievably frustrating. Christopher. And how many years have
- 7:51Speaker 1: the Democrats been can control of downtown Cincinnati politically.
- 7:56Speaker 2: Over fifty years? And how my entire life?
- 7:59Speaker 1: What's the backlog on projects that need to be completed,
- 8:03Speaker 1: in other words, existing infrastructure deteriorating that they've ignored for
- 8:06Speaker 1: years and years and years, these same Democrats, who are
- 8:09Speaker 1: you know, getting voted in time and time again. Have
- 8:12Speaker 1: your roads been paid? I think the answer is pretty
- 8:14Speaker 1: clearly no across the board for decades now.
- 8:18Speaker 2: No. I mean most people who drive through Cincinnati. If
- 8:20Speaker 2: you're coming from another state and you come into Cincinnati,
- 8:24Speaker 2: you know you're in Cincinnati because you're dodging potholes, you know,
- 8:29Speaker 2: And so that's the problem. The basics, Brian Thomas aren't
- 8:33Speaker 2: being taken care of, but yet the electric continues to
- 8:37Speaker 2: vote for the same people. We have an election in November,
- 8:40Speaker 2: and I hope to talk about that in the next segment.
- 8:43Speaker 2: Are we going to do something different? Are we going
- 8:45Speaker 2: to continue to vote in the same direction? I say
- 8:48Speaker 2: we do something different?
- 8:49Speaker 1: Well, hear what difference is in the mind of Christopher Smith?
- 8:51Speaker 1: And next, don't go way. I want to remind you
- 8:53Speaker 1: that Well the number one dealer in Pen seven forty
- 8:59Speaker 1: here about Kshity Talk station by Thomas with Christopher Smithlman
- 9:03Speaker 1: join the smither Van. Christopher, as you close out the segment,
- 9:06Speaker 1: you said you think we need to go in a
- 9:07Speaker 1: different direction, and you're on board for a different direction.
- 9:09Speaker 1: What does different direction mean for you, Christopher in that context, Well.
- 9:14Speaker 2: I'm supporting the veak Ramaswami for governor and I can't
- 9:17Speaker 2: even believe the race is even close based on what's
- 9:21Speaker 2: on the other side. And so the Faucy testimony has
- 9:25Speaker 2: everything to do with the gubernatorial race in Ohio because
- 9:29Speaker 2: Amy Atkin was that person right who impacted so many
- 9:32Speaker 2: businesses with her science. As she indicated, driven decisions are
- 9:40Speaker 2: recommendations that hurt so many different businesses and school systems
- 9:45Speaker 2: across the state of Ohio. But I want to focus
- 9:49Speaker 2: in a little bit here. I don't talk a lot
- 9:51Speaker 2: about and I don't think this is a bad thing,
- 9:54Speaker 2: but I think it's true. Is David Pepper running for
- 9:57Speaker 2: lieutenant governor on that ticket? So I hear all this
- 10:00Speaker 2: stuff about the ZK. Ramaswami and he's a business guy
- 10:05Speaker 2: and his money and all that kind of stuff, and
- 10:07Speaker 2: they're acting as if David Pepper doesn't have all that money.
- 10:11Speaker 2: We're talking about the son of the former CEO of
- 10:15Speaker 2: Procker and Gamble, former board member of Disney. I mean,
- 10:19Speaker 2: this is a very wealthy man, and there's nothing wrong
- 10:22Speaker 2: with that success David Pepper. What I need David Pepper
- 10:26Speaker 2: to do is to own it. Stop walking around as
- 10:29Speaker 2: a Democrat acting like you came from poverty and you didn't.
- 10:33Speaker 2: If you went to Summit Country Day own it. If
- 10:35Speaker 2: you went to Yale, own it, if you went to Harvard,
- 10:38Speaker 2: own it. This is what bothers me. But then don't
- 10:41Speaker 2: lecture me on public education. Don't lecture me on what
- 10:45Speaker 2: public education needs to do when you have no understanding
- 10:48Speaker 2: of it. You spent your whole life avoiding it. You
- 10:51Speaker 2: were able to buy your way out of it. And
- 10:53Speaker 2: so that ticket over there is very interesting because you
- 10:56Speaker 2: got Amy Action at the top, and then you've got
- 10:59Speaker 2: David Pepper. And the Democrats are always hiding that they
- 11:03Speaker 2: have really somebody, one hundred million dollar guy who's running
- 11:07Speaker 2: for the lieutenant governor for the state of Ohio. Very
- 11:10Speaker 2: successful father. I'm very happy of capitalism, but I need
- 11:15Speaker 2: the Democratic Party to start owning it. Stop being hypocrites
- 11:18Speaker 2: and acting like we don't know that David Pepper came
- 11:21Speaker 2: from a capitalist background, benefited from that from America. But
- 11:27Speaker 2: if you listen to his commentary, sometimes it sounds like
- 11:30Speaker 2: he doesn't love the country that made him so wealthy.
- 11:34Speaker 1: That's because the Democrats are wed to waging a class warfare,
- 11:38Speaker 1: and you know, he's not the only one he's really
- 11:40Speaker 1: wealthy running for you know, high office in them among
- 11:42Speaker 1: the Democrat Party, it's an uncomfortable position they find themselves
- 11:45Speaker 1: in because it literally does fly in the face of
- 11:47Speaker 1: their narrative, which is capitalism is bad and it doesn't
- 11:50Speaker 1: do anything but harm for the world. And here they
- 11:52Speaker 1: have candidates who've been benefiting their entire lives from capitalism
- 11:55Speaker 1: and wildly successful they are, and they try to hide
- 11:57Speaker 1: from it. It's almost like they're on the Democrat outside
- 12:00Speaker 1: of this and arguing this socialist mantra, the class warfare mantra,
- 12:04Speaker 1: because they're guilty about the success capitalisms brought him.
- 12:07Speaker 2: Christopher Yes, And if you ask Democrats about David Pepper,
- 12:13Speaker 2: they will tell you either they don't know him across
- 12:15Speaker 2: the state of Ohio, or they certainly don't know that
- 12:17Speaker 2: he's one hundred million dollar man. Right. They hide it,
- 12:21Speaker 2: like you said, And that's true. If David Pepper is
- 12:23Speaker 2: he's if he's listening or anybody on that ticket is listening,
- 12:26Speaker 2: they're not going to call it and say, well, what
- 12:28Speaker 2: Smitherman is saying isn't true. Right? Most likely? Right, his
- 12:32Speaker 2: family has a massive trust. Most likely they have a
- 12:37Speaker 2: very aggressive tax accountant that takes full advantage of every
- 12:42Speaker 2: loophole that Trump, President Trump takes advantage of. These are
- 12:46Speaker 2: the people in the same bucket. This is what I'm
- 12:49Speaker 2: trying to say, the same loopholes that they complain about
- 12:52Speaker 2: about President Trump. Right, David Pepper is using those same
- 12:56Speaker 2: loopholes to avoid the state taxes. Whether it's a second
- 13:00Speaker 2: die policy, whether it's an elaborate trust, whether it's putting
- 13:03Speaker 2: money offshore, whether it's putting money in a different state.
- 13:07Speaker 2: I guarantee you they are using every single legal way
- 13:12Speaker 2: to avoid the taxation of that estate.
- 13:14Speaker 1: And you just pointed out the point I was going
- 13:16Speaker 1: to make, every single legal way what they are doing.
- 13:20Speaker 1: And I'm sure you're right and accurate about them taking
- 13:22Speaker 1: advantage of the way the laws are written. The laws
- 13:25Speaker 1: are written that way, and I don't want to call
- 13:27Speaker 1: them a loophole, because loophole suggests that, whoops, we made
- 13:29Speaker 1: a mistake and we gave people an option that we
- 13:31Speaker 1: really didn't intend. I think the tax laws are designed
- 13:35Speaker 1: to intend exactly what you're talking about. Maybe they're designed
- 13:37Speaker 1: for rich people, maybe they were designed for maser massive corporations.
- 13:41Speaker 1: Who knows. But ultimately, the laws were written as they
- 13:44Speaker 1: were written, and it shouldn't surprise anybody. And you'll be
- 13:47Speaker 1: an idiot not to take advantage of something if it's
- 13:49Speaker 1: going to inure to your financial benefit. Have those loopholes,
- 13:52Speaker 1: as you like to call them, been changed. Have there
- 13:54Speaker 1: been the efforts to transform the taxation system and get
- 13:58Speaker 1: rid of all those options. I don't see any Christopher.
- 14:00Speaker 1: I don't hear the Democrats clamoring over it. It isn't
- 14:03Speaker 1: a policy platform for the Democrats Socialist of America. They're
- 14:05Speaker 1: only policy platform is to increase taxes on whoever they
- 14:08Speaker 1: determine is quote unquote rich.
- 14:12Speaker 2: First of all, I agree with you, I should not
- 14:14Speaker 2: use the language of loophole. You're absolutely right. These are
- 14:17Speaker 2: legal ways for people to lower their tax burden. Meaning
- 14:25Speaker 2: the question about estate taxes and death taxes, right, all
- 14:30Speaker 2: of us rights who have large estates want to avoid
- 14:33Speaker 2: the death tax or the estate tax. I'm suggesting to
- 14:37Speaker 2: you that there's nothing really different than what David Pepper
- 14:41Speaker 2: and his family is doing and the zach Ramaswami. I'm
- 14:44Speaker 2: tired of the Democrats hiding their billionaires, hiding their one
- 14:49Speaker 2: hundred million dollar people running them for office as if
- 14:53Speaker 2: they are poverty stricken, and they are not. And that's
- 14:57Speaker 2: all I'm saying, because I constantly hear Democrats go vivek ramaswamias,
- 15:02Speaker 2: he's a successful business guy who made a lot of money,
- 15:05Speaker 2: and therefore that's the guy that I want at the
- 15:07Speaker 2: top of the ticket, right because he's going to be
- 15:10Speaker 2: able to help recruit businesses to Ohio. He's going to
- 15:14Speaker 2: he understands the tax law, right, he can look at
- 15:18Speaker 2: our government and say, how do we streamline it. I
- 15:21Speaker 2: want a guy who has a business background running the
- 15:24Speaker 2: state of Ohio. That's a good thing. And the Democrats
- 15:28Speaker 2: try to make it out to be bad while they're
- 15:30Speaker 2: running a lieutenant governor who's one hundred million dollar guy.
- 15:34Speaker 2: This is what just blows me away. And they present
- 15:37Speaker 2: themselves as this Sometimes they don't even like our country,
- 15:40Speaker 2: meaning all these socialists Brian Thomas that are being elected right,
- 15:44Speaker 2: You and I are watching it up this wave. The
- 15:46Speaker 2: Democrats are trying to go like, well, what's going on,
- 15:49Speaker 2: what's going on, what's happening. This is your base. Your
- 15:53Speaker 2: base are communists and socialists, and they are being elected,
- 15:57Speaker 2: whether they're being elected in Michigan or whether they're being
- 16:00Speaker 2: elected in the state of Wisconsin like tomorrow's primary. They
- 16:05Speaker 2: are being elected. And the Democrats are going to have
- 16:08Speaker 2: to own it, including David Pepper and Amy Akin. This
- 16:11Speaker 2: is what scares me. It scares me that we have
- 16:13Speaker 2: an election in November, right, and the vek Ramaswami doesn't
- 16:18Speaker 2: win and our state starts looking like Virginia because they
- 16:22Speaker 2: had a choice. They had a choice, and Barack Obama,
- 16:26Speaker 2: who told us vote for Kamala because she was black.
- 16:30Speaker 2: Only vote for Kamala Harris because she was black, right,
- 16:34Speaker 2: then went to Virginia and said, vote for the white
- 16:37Speaker 2: woman who was running for governor there. And look at
- 16:41Speaker 2: what we got, meaning we had a choice to elect
- 16:44Speaker 2: the first African American, our black American or whatever. However
- 16:48Speaker 2: she defines herself a military vet in Virginia, and we
- 16:52Speaker 2: failed to do that because Barack Obama went there and
- 16:55Speaker 2: played identity politics in around the country with Kamala a
- 17:00Speaker 2: but went to Virginia and said, do not vote for
- 17:02Speaker 2: this black woman. She's a Republican. I'm tired of the
- 17:06Speaker 2: identity politics that the Democratic Party pushes when it is
- 17:11Speaker 2: convenient for them, when they are pushing a narrative, and
- 17:14Speaker 2: I'm watching it in Ohio. When they pick a lieutenant
- 17:17Speaker 2: governor like David Pepper whose family is very very very
- 17:21Speaker 2: very very very very very very wealthy, I'm happy for them.
- 17:25Speaker 2: I am glad they have benefited from the capitalist society.
- 17:29Speaker 2: But please stop trying to pimp out the Democratic base
- 17:34Speaker 2: by acting as if you're broke or that you didn't
- 17:37Speaker 2: come from wealth or that you don't have a lot
- 17:39Speaker 2: of money right now, that is what bothers me as
- 17:42Speaker 2: the veck Ramaswami I think will be the next governor
- 17:45Speaker 2: of the State of Ohio.
- 17:46Speaker 1: Oh I pray for that come you know, and think
- 17:49Speaker 1: about it. Vivic Ramaswami was able to make all that
- 17:51Speaker 1: wealth in the state of Ohio in spite of all
- 17:53Speaker 1: the regulatory and burdensome nature of doing business in Ohio.
- 17:58Speaker 1: He was still able to success. Yes, fully do it.
- 18:01Speaker 1: That's what makes them great because while it was challenging
- 18:03Speaker 1: under the circumstances he built his businesses with. He wants
- 18:06Speaker 1: to get rid of those challenges, to make it easier
- 18:09Speaker 1: for others to have successful business here that lure from
- 18:12Speaker 1: other states. It's better here. The business climate is going
- 18:15Speaker 1: to be better under Ramaswami. Or look here, I've changed
- 18:18Speaker 1: these impediments that we all knew about I dealt with.
- 18:21Speaker 1: I mean, that's the kind of thing we need to
- 18:22Speaker 1: have accomplished here. But that he was successful, I think
- 18:25Speaker 1: speaks volume to his ability to run the state of
- 18:28Speaker 1: Ohio as opposed to any acton who doesn't even really
- 18:31Speaker 1: seem to have much of a medical background.
- 18:33Speaker 2: Right. It is so scary that Democrats are basically saying, right,
- 18:40Speaker 2: no matter who is on the other side, if they
- 18:43Speaker 2: have a D behind her name, I'm going to vote
- 18:45Speaker 2: to them. Yes, I'm asking specifically, I'm going to play
- 18:48Speaker 2: some identity politics. I'm asking Black Americans. I am a
- 18:52Speaker 2: Black American. I'm asking Black Americans to really seek do
- 18:58Speaker 2: research and figure route who both of those people are
- 19:01Speaker 2: on the side of that ticket. Don't just go in
- 19:04Speaker 2: and vote for the DED don't just go vote for
- 19:06Speaker 2: the Democrat right, separate yourself, do your research, Black Americans
- 19:13Speaker 2: and ask yourself, are these the right people for the
- 19:16Speaker 2: state of Ohio? And I bet you so many of
- 19:19Speaker 2: them when they do their research and they say, do
- 19:21Speaker 2: these people line up with my values? For example, right,
- 19:25Speaker 2: does Amy Akin believe right, which she does, even though
- 19:28Speaker 2: she's now running from it, that men should be able
- 19:32Speaker 2: to play against women in sports, that men should be
- 19:35Speaker 2: able to play against girls in sports. I am a
- 19:39Speaker 2: supporter of the LGBTQ plus community. I am a supporter
- 19:44Speaker 2: of transgender people. I have no problem with any of that,
- 19:47Speaker 2: but I do have a problem with unfairness, and I
- 19:51Speaker 2: do not want men playing against women or girls in
- 19:56Speaker 2: their sports. Amy Akin is now trying to reposition in
- 20:00Speaker 2: herself in the Democratic Party. She thought she could just
- 20:02Speaker 2: make a comment to one of the editorial boards up
- 20:05Speaker 2: high in the state and kind of whisper that she
- 20:08Speaker 2: has a different perspective. The reality of it is, if
- 20:12Speaker 2: she were elected, girls sports would be in jeopardy. Brian Thomas.
- 20:18Speaker 2: Her position on Title nine would put every girl in
- 20:22Speaker 2: every female sport. Listen, women in at risk and in trouble.
- 20:27Speaker 2: I have a girl, I'm a girl, she swimming for
- 20:30Speaker 2: her high school. I don't want men or boys swimming
- 20:34Speaker 2: against girls in any sport across the state of Ohio.
- 20:38Speaker 2: Amy Atkin, in my opinion, would put all of Title
- 20:42Speaker 2: nine at risk. Brian Thommons.
