The "Smither-vent" - Episode 123- Sowing the Seeds of Hate · Brian Thomas

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Station on a Monday. That means one thing for sure.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Christopher Smithlman, former Vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: for the Christopher Smitheman smither Vent, Welcome back, my friend.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: It's always great having you on the show.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Oh thanks for having me on. Brian. I tell you,
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: this weather is something that's very rare for Cincinnati and
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: our region. And I've been listening to your show. I'm
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: just reiterating what you were saying earlier. People should stay
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: off the roads, be very very careful. You know, a
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: level three is real. You just heard the FOP president. Yeah,
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: you know say an officer could stop you. So what
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: they're really just basically saying is make way for firefighters,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: police officers. You know, the the trucks that are that
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: are that are removing the snow. So you're you're keeping
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: it safe for everybody. And the biggest risk on top
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: of what we have now is this the cold weather
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: and so the Arctic air that's coming in we all
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: have to respect even going out to your car just
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: trying to clear it off. Well, you started saying fifteen
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: and seventeen and twenty degrees below zero going tonight. That
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: is very very significant for our region.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, make sure you keep your eye on loved ones,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: most notably seniors who might be living alone if the
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: power goes out. You know, that's a serious problem right there.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: So we all need to stand mind our p's and cues.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: And you know, I guess the best way to get
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: out of the way of law enforcement and emergency vehicles
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: and snowplous is just don't be on the roads in
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the first place. Hey, speaking of roads, did you get
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: your street plowed, Christopher? Because if you look at the
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: city map, it doesn't look like the west end got
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: any love. But I just asked Corey Bowman by a
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: way of text, if he's his area got plows waiting
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: to hear back from I was just wondering if the
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: former vice mayor street got plowed.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: No, we're still worth our side. Streets are still not plowed.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: And you know, all I can say to the city is,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: you know, when I served with John Cranleigh, one of
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: the things that he did a good job in these
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: these emergencies is communicate, communicating, and communicate. I always find
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: it interesting that our mayor and members of council kind
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: of just disappear. Yeah, so they don't make themselves available.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: They don't come on your show, they don't you don't
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: see them on the news, you know, they don't see
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: you don't see them riding in the middle of the
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: night with the snow trucks. Really just you know, really
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: pumping up those men and women and let's thank them
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: for all the work they've been working around the clock,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: trymatively sile with mini streets as they can. But the
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: leadership kind of like goes home. They're sitting in their
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: warm houses and they're really not out there on the
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: front lines with the city workers trying to get it done.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: And I think, you know this is again, I haven't
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: seen the mayor anywhere who you can find it with
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: the search warrant. And that's the problem with this leadership.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, that's an excellent point, Christopher, because you
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: know the road crews are probably working there, you know,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, working hard, and they're doing as
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: much as they can with the resources they have. There
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: are so many roads they have to clear, it's impossible
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: to stay up on it. This is it's a record
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: snowfalls and most snow we've got at one time in
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: twenty years. So at minimum, America go out and say listen,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: we're on top of it. We'll get to you eventually.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: But you have to understand the volume of snow is
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: not something you can just wave a wand and make
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: it disappear. So if your road hasn't been addressed yet,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: it's because we're working on the main thoroughfares trying to
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: clear things up for the vast majority of folks, and
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: we'll ultimately get to it. And I presume that's what's
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: going on. But yeah, the silence is deafening, and that
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: is it's kind of a modus operandi when it comes
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: to the AP to have provol administration.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but then what you do. What you see them
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: holding press conferences on are resolutions about you know, essentially
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: we don't like ice or we don't want ice in
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: our community, you know, over the last two weeks. So
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: when they do talk, they seem to be off message,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: are very distracted by what they should be focusing on.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: That's what's frustrating for me. I mean, I'm sure they're
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: going to hold a press conference at some point, but
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: it won't be about the snow removal, the side streets
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: or any of that. It'll be nonsense and I think
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: it pivots me into just my heart goes out always
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: when you have loss of life. Brian Thomas, like I said,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I have quite a few questions about the shooting that
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: happened well in Minneapolis. But we'll get I know, we'll
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: talk about it. But that's what I'm going to tee
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: up as we come back. You know, after the body.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Well done, Chris thepherst segue to the break. I couldn't
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: have done it better absolutely, seven twenty six. Right now
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: more with Christopher Smithman and the smith Event. Happy Monday
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: to you. Talking to Christopher smith Aman what we call
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the Smither event. Christopher, you're getting ready to segue over
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: to the tragedy in Minneapolis over the weekend. I just
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: find it really weird. The protesters are running rampant in
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: the street. They don't want Ice doing their job, or
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: they're looking out for whatever that splitting out families, whatever
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: the argument is. You know, Obama deported more people than
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: any other president he was. He gave Tom Homan, the
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: guy who's still in the same role, a presidential rank award,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I mean for Distinguished Service Order in twenty fifteen. During
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: the Obama administration, the highest honor for federal career executives
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: that is given. He was in charge of ICE enforcement
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: and removal, which was quite successful under Obama. Barack Obama
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: back then called the deporter in Chief by immigration groups
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Christopher He also had the same strategy deport criminals. That
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: was basically his stated objective. We are going after the
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: hardest of hardcore criminals. It's the same policy that Trump
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: is using. Not a peep from anybody during the Obama administration, hmmm,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: that's interesting.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: And people died, meaning there were situations that ICE agents
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: had during his administration. All of those things are absolutely facts.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: You know, I want to just rewind because I do
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: think that this is a close call. But oh yeah,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: it's the totality of the facts to the public. It's
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: not the one moment where he was disarmed and he
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: was shot. It's the totality of this thing. And so
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: when I look at the incident and I go, okay,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: there's a protest happening. I'm a concealed carry many I
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: carry a weapon most of the time, right legally. When
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: an officer pulls me over, which has happened, my hands
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: are either outside that window or they're in the ten
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: two position. And when that officer walks up to my car,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: even though on my license plates, I already know he
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: knows I could possibly have a weapon. I tell him
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I have a weapon in my vehicle. It's in my
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: console or it's in my glove compartment. I'm gonna wait
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: for your instructions to tell me what I do next.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I want that officer relaxed and comfortable as I get
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: out my wallet and my registration, and that officer doesn't
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: believe I'm reaching for anything. It's about following instructions and
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: complying with the law. The problem here is you've got
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: a guy who goes to a pro tests with a
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: gun legally, but then he begins to engage the officers
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: whatever that is. He's in his mind, there's a woman
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: being pushed. You've got a weapon. Maybe this is not
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: your day to intervene in this situation. Maybe it's never,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: but never with a weapon, never with a semi automatic weapon.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: So let's acknowledge that this man was making some very
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: poor decisions out there as he was engaging federal officers
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: who were rightfully there doing what they should be doing
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: as far as not they're not breaking the law and
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: now you have somebody engaging with a weapon, and I
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: just want to say that everything that happened after that, right,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: those decisions ended up with the unfortunate death of this guy,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: And so my heart goes out to his family. I
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: believe as I look at the video and if people
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: are going to have more information than Christopher smitheman will have. Right,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: it's a close call. But you're going to have to
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: get in the minds of the officers, meaning did they
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: know that he was disarmed? Meaning an officer? This is
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: like un you know, like when the gun was taken,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: did they did the other officers there at the time
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: though that he no longer has a weapon or.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Even the initial question is is and I'm not sure
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: we even have the answer on this one, Christopher, did
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: they even know he was armed in the first place,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: because a lot of people saying, a lot of videos
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: suggests the only thing he had in his hand anytime
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: was the cell phone and that no time did he
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: ever brandish the firearm or pull it out. And then
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: it was only during the sort of the ice pile
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: on top of him that the gun was even discovered
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: to be on his person. So, you know, I don't
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: have a problem with someone going to a protest and
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: being armed. If they're lawfully entitled to carry a firearm. Hell,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: that may be the best place to have it, because
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: it's more likely you're going to face violence or maybe
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: eminent apprehension to death. So okay, the more dangerous the
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: situation you're going in, the more likely it is you
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: might want to everyone. Never would you pull it out
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: unless you were a face with those type of circumstances.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: But the mere fact of the existence of a firearm
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: on his person, I don't think is this positive of
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: what happened here, So lots of questions still floating out
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: on that one.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: I think this again, I think this is a very
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: different situation. It's a cross call. I feel very differently
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: about this than I did about actually the car situation
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: where the citizen was trying to run down the ice officer.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, right politically, what
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I see are Democrats who are interested in power. This
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: is all contrived, meaning they're out protesting because we're going
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: into a mid term election. They want power, and the
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: governor there is jetting this up for the entire country.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he's tried to influence the other states across
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: this gate great country and make everybody mad because he
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: wants everybody pro testing across the United States of America
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: because they are interested in what power mid term elections.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: They are the ones that have the chaos. They're acting
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: as if this chaos is coming from the White House,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: right because you started your show talking about President Barack Obama.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: He actually deported more people than any president. He gave
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Tom Homan this great award in the White House. You're
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: highlighting that because you're saying, look, hey, there were when
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: when President Barack Obama was doing this, when people died.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: When he was doing it, you didn't see the uproar
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: that you're seeing now. Now there's some people that will say, well,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: he did it differently. The way he approached was differently.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: There are people out there that will say that. But
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: at the end of the day, here's what I'm trying
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: to say to you. What we're seeing breaking into hotels,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: you know, getting trying to block ice officers with their vehicles,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: blocking traffic and all of that, getting in front of
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: vehicles that are that are moving on highways or on streets.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: You are raising the temperature every time one of These
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: ICE officers are out there trying to do their job
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: and we're asking them to make these split second decisions.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: The last point I'll make is this is all rooted
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: in defunding the police. Reimagine the police. This is the
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Democratic Party that doesn't use those words anymore. But at
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: the end that they knew it, they know it was stupid.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, this is the
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: result of all of that they have. They have planted
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: these seeds to hate the police. They do not like
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: police officers, they do not like law enforcement officers. And
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: this is a profession in my lifetime that was very
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: well respected over the last hundred years. The reality of
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: it now is this Democratic Party, which is a party
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: that I don't even know. I don't even know what
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: this party is anymore. Are they social are they communists?
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: What in the world is going on with the Democratic
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Party when they are out protesting Brian Thomas people being
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: removed for rate, for murder, for robbery, for DUIs where
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: they're killing their families. I meaning, there are some really
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: bad people that are being removed by Ice right now.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: I don't understand what the Democratic Party is protesting here
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: and why this is not a unifying moment between Democrats, Republicans,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Libertarians and independence that we want criminals who are in
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: our country illegally out.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Well, that used to be the stated objective under the
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Obama administration. Again, times of change. Maybe evil Orange man,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: and you're pointed by the midterms exactly the reason this
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: is going on. ELSA might want to protect all the
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: fraud and the money that flows from the fraud that
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: they engage in, which is pretty rampant. One more walk
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: station money money with Brian James after the top of
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: the air news. But if your topics go over with
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: him in the meantime, Christopher Smith Alman on the phone
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: doing this, Man, Christopher, what else is on your mind?
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Sir? You know what is so scary is I watch
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: these governors, no matter which one of them, and I
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: think about the gubernatorial race in Ohio, and it really
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: underscores to me what I know Ohio must do, which
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: is elect favek Ramaswami as the next governor for the
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: state of Ohio. You know what what I'm watching is
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: the importance of that office. What the governor is saying
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: right now, Will they support ice, will they support basic
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: law and order? Will they support school systems. You know,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: it has been been amazing in a tragedy what I've
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: been looking at coming out of Virginia obviously, you know,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: all Minnesota, all these other places man where these governors
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: are in place and they are not cooperating with law enforcement.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: But they're also ceeding a generation of people that feel
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: that they cannot trust or do not like police officers,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: and I think that is incredibly dangerous for the United
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: States of America. The importance of the governor's race in
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Ohio is critical. And part of this campaign of protesting,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: like the way they burst into a church, you know,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: and which was so dark and ridiculous. People are praying
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: on worshiping and you're there protesting in their church, or
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: what we see last night with them busting into hotels
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: setting things on fire. If we do not elect a
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: governor in the state of Ohio who will make sure
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: that all of us are safe in these important inflection points,
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: will have chaos in the state of Ohio. And part
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: of this goal is to make those who have conservative
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: values those who are independent, to make us feel like
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: we're out of sort, to kind of suppress us from voting.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Many mentally mentally, just like we came out of the
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: local election, we have to make sure that we meet
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: the craziness that we are seeing right now in our country.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: We have to keep the energy, meaning we're not out
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: there protesting setting things on fire. But when it comes
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: to the election day, we must meet them at the gate.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: All of us must be registering the people around us,
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: our eighteen year old who are turning eighteen. For example,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: my daughter turns eighteen years old too. I want to
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: make sure she's registered to vote. I'm not going to
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: allow her to vote where she goes to college. She's
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: coming back home to vote, and she's going to vote
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: our values of this family. So we have to make
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: sure we're taking charge, Brian Thomas, and we are getting
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: ready for what I would say is a critical election
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: in November, the midterm election where we are electing the
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: next governor for the state of Ohio, and number two,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: we are making sure that we are electing the judges
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: in our city and in our county brother who right
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: now continue to let criminals out in the street. So
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: we've got to make sure that we are ready. And
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: I'm just worried that these kinds of protests are beating
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: conservative people down, and I think that's very dangerous, you know.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: And that you're concerned that it's very dangerous as a
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: concern of mine as well, because you know, I obviously,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: the mainstream media is what it is, and they're going
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: to spend it how they want to spin it. You know,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: we know how they spin it. But more and more articles,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: more and more polls, more and more surveys suggest that,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: you know, the Democrats are going to like traditionally take
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: over the midterm elections, which is, you know, historically, you know,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: kind of something you can hang your hat on, but
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily have to be true, but that this this
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: singular issue would result in people turning their backs on
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: on Republicans across the board on all issues we've done
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: such eight or well Republicans have done such a fantastic
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: job like ferreting out fraud, waste and abuse, a completely
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: bipartisan issue that shouldn't even be something to talk about
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: other than to applaud the efforts to fared out fraud,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: waste and abuse. That's something the whole idea of guys
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: competing against women in sports that seems to be a
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: rock solid eighty twenty if not more kind of on
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: the Republican side of the Ledger issue. Nobody on the
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Republican sides, you know, suggesting that that's right. Just go
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: issue after issue, reducing the regulatory burden, lowering energy prices,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: these are all things that Trump's on the winning side.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: That one bad action. If you just concede that this
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: was a bad that he shouldn't have been killed this protester,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: that there was no justification for the use of deadly force,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: does that convince people who are otherwise clear headed on
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: all of the important issues that matter every single day,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: that that would have an effect and impact them. I
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: just don't want to believe I live in that world,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Christopher Smithman.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, just think about the removal of Maduro from Venezuela,
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: and we had people protesting that that should not have happened,
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: even as Venezuelan people were saying this was excellent for them.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, very broadly across the Latino community,
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: whether people who are from Mexico or Colombia, or whether
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: they're Cuban, whether they're from the Dominican Republic, you saw
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: a unified message from Latin Americans and people who are
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Latin across the world saying this was the right decision
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: that the White House made, But the Democrats were on
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: the streets protesting that, saying they support Maduro, who really
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: wasn't the president of Venezuela. That's what I'm saying, These
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: major disconnects where you hear people saying, why are you
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: out there so supporting criminals? Mean, we're the person that
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: is in the house that I'm removing, right, is a rapist.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: They're a convicted rapist. Why are you in the street
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: saying you are mad blowing whistles as Ice is carrying
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: out a convicted rapist. And so I'm just saying the
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Democratic Party again, I'm going to continue to say this.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: So many Democrats continue to say, listen, the Democratic Party
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: didn't leave me, right, I didn't leave the Democratic Party.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: The Democratic Party left me. They can't even recognize the
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Democratic Party at this point, meaning I'm the same way,
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: I'm not a Democrat, but I'm looking at going man.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: There was a time where blue dog Democrats you can
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: kind of recognize the party, but I can't even recognize
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: the party here because they're doing so many crazy things.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: And I'm just saying the election Brian Thomas is so
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: important and I want your list, the audience to know, let's
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: get ready to vote. We're not people that protest. We're
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: not about violence, you know, we're not about destroying property.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: But it doesn't mean that we don't have to have
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: the same energy when it comes to November and match
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: this anarchisy that we're seeing across the United States of America.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's Christopher Smithman's words. Look what happened in New
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: York City. They elected a blank and communist for mayor.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, you don't think these lefties haven't made great
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: inroads and have have got this strong, very very far
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: left base. That's the Democratic Party that's left you basically,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: but they're making substantial inroads across this country and I
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: find that to be an awfully frightening thing. Christopher Smithman,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: And Brian Thomas, you know what's also interesting, And I
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: very rarely get down into this identity politics, but it's
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: just an observation. I don't see a lot of black
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: and brown people at these protests. No, they seem to
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: be very much white women, white males, young white males,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: middle aged white women. I just want elderly but when
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: I look out and I see the people protesting no
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: matter where they are, I don't see the black and
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: brown people that they say that they're there to protect.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: You know why, because Latinos want the same thing, save communities.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: They don't want to be living next to a gang
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: member are racist. So it's amazing that they're out there
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: and saying keep them in the community, and the brown
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: and black people are saying, I want them out.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Various student observation, as is always the case, every Monday,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: seven twenty with the former Vice mayor of the City
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: of Cincinnati, call it the Smith VN. Christopher Smithman, Love
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: you brother, be safe out there, seventh fifty one. If
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: I have Kerosity, talk station money, money with brains,
