The "Smither-vent" - Episode 159 - CPD Officer Assaulted. Where's is the Local Media? · Brian Thomas

0:00
Speaker 1: That means Christopher Smitherman, former vice mayor of the city
0:02
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati with the Smitherman. Gee, Christopher, I wonder if
0:05
Speaker 1: you'll have anything to say about the violence in and
0:07
Speaker 1: around downtown Cincinnati over the weekend. Welcome back, my friend.
0:11
Speaker 2: Listen, man, you continue to see the city leadership. Brian Thomas,
0:15
Speaker 2: you and I have been talking about this, you know,
0:17
Speaker 2: on and off for the last two years. And you
0:20
Speaker 2: and I have seen the petty crime and now the
0:24
Speaker 2: serious violence that continue to increase. Let me thank Signal
0:29
Speaker 2: 99 for releasing the video that no local news station
0:35
Speaker 2: released over the weekend. That is one of our finest
0:39
Speaker 2: Cincinnati police officers in uniform, in uniform by a BP,
0:47
Speaker 2: Jefferson and Corey getting his head kicked in by youth.
0:52
Speaker 2: This is insane. And you have our mayor out of
0:56
Speaker 2: town campaigning for somebody in Michigan. You see no press conferences,
1:01
Speaker 2: Brian Thomas. And here's why. Here's why. There's an election
1:05
Speaker 2: on Tuesday. This is the ugly truth. These news stations,
1:10
Speaker 2: many of them are in the can for liberal candidates.
1:16
Speaker 2: This is really sad. If Signal 99 doesn't release that video,
1:21
Speaker 2: you and I don't know anything about it. And because
1:24
Speaker 2: of that election, there could be a 1% move in
1:28
Speaker 2: the electorate across the state of Ohio if they wake
1:31
Speaker 2: up and see a white male youth, I mean, white
1:36
Speaker 2: male police officer in uniform getting kicked in the head
1:42
Speaker 2: by black youth at a Halloween takeover for juveniles because
1:47
Speaker 2: this is what we've been saying for The reality of it,
1:51
Speaker 2: the Democrats talk about identity politics. If the white police
1:54
Speaker 2: officer had pulled his gun and shot one of those
1:57
Speaker 2: black youth, we'd be discussing it a little differently. He
2:01
Speaker 2: used too much force. He should have waited to be
2:05
Speaker 2: kicked in the head or punched in the face just
2:07
Speaker 2: a little longer. The Holly situation that happened downtown, look
2:11
Speaker 2: how they handled that. Let's go out. This is City Hall,
2:14
Speaker 2: and we must arrest somebody white. Where is City Hall today?
2:18
Speaker 2: They're the ones bathing in identity politics. But the news
2:22
Speaker 2: stations across this doggone region, shame on you.
2:27
Speaker 1: Don't go away.
2:27
Speaker 2: I get to call you out. You did.
2:30
Speaker 1: I did this morning, too. Signal 99 was a little
2:32
Speaker 1: easier on them saying, you know, the video hadn't come out.
2:35
Speaker 2: No, no. Christopher says no. Hold the thought.
2:38
Speaker 1: And the emotion. We'll bring you right back at 725. KRC,
2:40
Speaker 1: the talk station.
2:41
Speaker 2: 729, 55 KRC, the talk station.
2:44
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas with Christopher Smitherman and Dwayne Smitherman. All about
2:49
Speaker 1: crime this morning, Christopher. Just terrible. The video, there's more
2:52
Speaker 1: video that's rolling out about that street takeover there in
2:54
Speaker 1: Short Vine. It was awful. There were lots and lots
2:57
Speaker 1: of people running amok in the street. And then, of course,
2:59
Speaker 1: police officers just get the crap beat out of them,
3:01
Speaker 1: which I just still can't believe. Christopher, go ahead. Continue
3:04
Speaker 1: the rant.
3:05
Speaker 2: Look, Brian, here's the bottom line. Cincinnati voters, people in
3:11
Speaker 2: our state understand what I'm about to say because we
3:15
Speaker 2: were young at some point. We respected cops. Cops showed up.
3:19
Speaker 2: They told us to do something. We did it. So
3:21
Speaker 2: we swung completely in the opposite direction culturally for a reason, right?
3:26
Speaker 2: You know that if they're going to beat up a
3:28
Speaker 2: cop in uniform with a gun, what they're going to
3:31
Speaker 2: do to you. You and I understand that, okay? That's
3:36
Speaker 2: the seriousness of what we're watching. And that officer is
3:40
Speaker 2: not just showing restraint. It's a culture that they understand
3:44
Speaker 2: that if they pull their gun and use force and
3:48
Speaker 2: take a life, they understand that people in this community
3:51
Speaker 2: will turn on them, that City Hall will turn on them,
3:55
Speaker 2: that their whole press conference is saying there's going to
3:57
Speaker 2: be a full investigation, Brian, and they'll try to destroy
3:59
Speaker 2: that cop's life. That's why that cop, it wasn't that
4:03
Speaker 2: the cop was just showing restraint. That cop was worried
4:06
Speaker 2: about what would happen to their life if they pulled
4:09
Speaker 2: their weapon. There's no way you're a cop on the
4:11
Speaker 2: ground getting stomped and kicked in the head like that
4:13
Speaker 2: and you don't pull your revolver. You don't pull your weapon.
4:17
Speaker 2: No way, Brian Thomas, that happens. And I'm going to
4:20
Speaker 2: say there's an election tomorrow. Right. I'm an independent. This
4:23
Speaker 2: is the stuff that gets independence blood boiling. Right. And
4:28
Speaker 2: these are the kinds of videos that move elections because
4:32
Speaker 2: low propensity voters are out there are going to see
4:34
Speaker 2: this video and they're going to say, not in my town,
4:37
Speaker 2: not in my state. And so people have to look
4:41
Speaker 2: at the rain. It's going to be raining tomorrow. It's
4:43
Speaker 2: going to be cold. They've got to show up, Brian.
4:45
Speaker 2: They've got to hold the line here for the state
4:47
Speaker 2: of Ohio. They've got to elect people like Vizek Ramaswamy
4:52
Speaker 2: or Keith Faber or Husted. I go down the list.
4:56
Speaker 2: Or Aaliyah Dinkinlocker. They've got to show up and vote
4:59
Speaker 2: for judges and vote for our safety in our community
5:03
Speaker 2: like their life matters. really depends on it, because it
5:07
Speaker 2: really does, Brian Thomas. That's the message right now today.
5:10
Speaker 2: We've got a candidate by head and shoulders... is more competent.
5:15
Speaker 2: This race shouldn't even be close. They shouldn't be polling
5:18
Speaker 2: three or four percent anyway. I believe Vivek Ramaswamy is
5:22
Speaker 2: going to win tomorrow. But independents and Republicans and Blue
5:26
Speaker 2: Dog Democrats, and we're seeing it in Michigan. We saw
5:29
Speaker 2: a switch over the weekend in Michigan. Blue Dog Democrats
5:32
Speaker 2: who put their flag out, who love our country, who
5:35
Speaker 2: say July 4th is okay, Juneteenth is okay. Those things
5:39
Speaker 2: both come together and can work. that black voters who
5:43
Speaker 2: understand that Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, they are coming
5:48
Speaker 2: out tomorrow in a way, Brian Thomas, that this state
5:51
Speaker 2: has never seen before.
5:53
Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate your really strong optimism on that, Christopher.
5:57
Speaker 1: I have no way of knowing or believing that. I
5:59
Speaker 1: haven't seen that widely reported necessarily. You getting a sense
6:02
Speaker 1: of that from people you talk to in your neighborhood
6:04
Speaker 1: and around the city of Cincinnati, Christopher?
6:07
Speaker 2: I am. What's happening is I'm talking about what they
6:11
Speaker 2: call themselves patriots. They don't believe in early voting, right?
6:15
Speaker 2: This is kind of like a protest. I'm not going
6:18
Speaker 2: to participate in a month in voting. I'm going to
6:20
Speaker 2: show up on election day with my wife and my
6:22
Speaker 2: children and my grandchildren and my friends and my friends
6:26
Speaker 2: and family, and we're going to rock the vote. And
6:28
Speaker 2: they're going to do it on election day, right? Now
6:31
Speaker 2: I'm saying you've seen what's happening in early voting, meaning
6:34
Speaker 2: the interest in the elections. Why wouldn't we believe that
6:37
Speaker 2: interest is not going to follow through on Election Day?
6:40
Speaker 2: It is. And the more people that are voting tomorrow
6:43
Speaker 2: are going to be voters who are most likely conservative,
6:46
Speaker 2: most likely independent and conservative, most likely blue dog Democrats
6:51
Speaker 2: who listen to your show and think about military, think
6:54
Speaker 2: about Honor Day, think about flags. They're tired of seeing
6:58
Speaker 2: their flag being burned. stumping on the flag. They're tired
7:02
Speaker 2: of these social conversations about men in locker rooms with
7:07
Speaker 2: women in the state of Ohio. They don't want to
7:09
Speaker 2: hear any of it. They're worried about communism and socialism
7:13
Speaker 2: that is being permeated through our culture and in our
7:16
Speaker 2: school systems. and young people on these college campuses like Michigan,
7:20
Speaker 2: like the University of Michigan, where you saw the young lady,
7:22
Speaker 2: if you didn't see that, attack this conservative young lady
7:26
Speaker 2: on campus over the weekend. I'm sharing with you, Brian,
7:29
Speaker 2: when this video hits local news, and because you're talking
7:32
Speaker 2: about it, Brian Thomas, I want everybody to hear this.
7:35
Speaker 2: Brian Thomas and Signal 99 broke this story on this
7:39
Speaker 2: radio show. You're now going to see local news have
7:42
Speaker 2: to pick it up.
7:43
Speaker 1: Well, I would hope so.
7:43
Speaker 2: They weren't playing it before. They're going to have to
7:45
Speaker 2: pick it up, Brian Thomas.
7:47
Speaker 1: I would hope so.
7:47
Speaker 2: Because you talked about it.
7:49
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not going to give myself any credit if
7:51
Speaker 1: it wasn't for Signal 99 getting a hold of the video.
7:53
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. I appreciate it. I'm happy to have
7:55
Speaker 1: brought it to people's attention to the extent they hadn't
7:57
Speaker 1: seen it themselves. I was appalled by it when I
7:59
Speaker 1: got here, and I'll give Joe Strecker credit for being
8:01
Speaker 1: a good friend with Signal 99 and having the printouts
8:03
Speaker 1: from her webpage. And I mean, I do go around
8:06
Speaker 1: all these different news sites. I don't often necessarily default
8:09
Speaker 1: to starting at Signal 99 and find out what happened
8:11
Speaker 1: over the weekend because I kind of expected to show
8:13
Speaker 1: up in local news. But I guess I was wrong
8:16
Speaker 1: this morning. But I do have other people upon which
8:18
Speaker 1: I rely, and I'm happy to take at least part
8:20
Speaker 1: of their credit for letting people know about it. Now
8:21
Speaker 1: the people need to act on it. And you know
8:23
Speaker 1: what concerns me most about this entire election, Christopher? Everything
8:26
Speaker 1: you say is right. Everything that you and I know
8:28
Speaker 1: about to be true. In other words, holding your nose, Democrats,
8:31
Speaker 1: and voting for the Republican-endorsed judges because it's good for
8:34
Speaker 1: your own neighborhood, this swirling anti-Trump evil orange man sentiment. No,
8:40
Speaker 1: nobody's happy about the gas prices. Yes, you can blame
8:42
Speaker 1: Trump in part for that. Nobody likes the broken promises.
8:45
Speaker 1: So you can hate evil orange men all day long,
8:47
Speaker 1: but don't look aside from your own neighborhood and the
8:50
Speaker 1: fact that Trump has nothing to do with any of
8:52
Speaker 1: the problems that Christopher and I are talking about this morning.
8:55
Speaker 2: No, no, and you're going to see somebody arrested today
8:59
Speaker 2: for attacking that Cincinnati police officer in uniform at what
9:03
Speaker 2: they call a Halloween takeover, you're going to see that arrest.
9:07
Speaker 2: The problem is, what's so crazy is, because they weren't
9:10
Speaker 2: even talking about it, it's going to be out of context.
9:12
Speaker 2: These news stories, because Brian Thomas is breaking it, people
9:15
Speaker 2: don't understand that Brian Thomas is breaking it. A big
9:19
Speaker 2: story on his radio show this morning that a Cincinnati
9:23
Speaker 2: police officer was attacked at a Halloween takeover by juveniles
9:28
Speaker 2: right in our city. And our local news stations have
9:31
Speaker 2: been ignoring the story. Now, I'm going to prove this
9:33
Speaker 2: to you. I called a friend. This is breaking news.
9:36
Speaker 2: I called a friend in a news station in another state.
9:40
Speaker 2: They this morning called one of our local news stations
9:44
Speaker 2: and said, hey, I just got this video. Are you
9:47
Speaker 2: guys going to run the video? Here's what the news
9:49
Speaker 2: station told them. We were told not to. By who?
9:53
Speaker 2: We were told not to. We were told not to.
9:56
Speaker 2: Listen to this one. It gets better. The person in
10:01
Speaker 2: the other state who has the video is going to
10:04
Speaker 2: release it. They're going to release it on their news.
10:06
Speaker 2: And guess what? The person who they were talking to said, oh,
10:11
Speaker 2: that was their reaction. They don't want to release it.
10:15
Speaker 2: People do not understand the conspiracies that are going on.
10:19
Speaker 2: They don't want the public to be informed, Brian Thomas.
10:22
Speaker 2: I'm not just on your radio station exaggerating. These blackouts
10:27
Speaker 2: that you're hearing of a story of an officer on
10:30
Speaker 2: the ground being beat up, being kicked in the head,
10:33
Speaker 2: being punched in the face at a juvenile takeover. By
10:37
Speaker 2: the time we get to tomorrow, guess what, news stations?
10:40
Speaker 2: It's going to be national news. It's going to be
10:43
Speaker 2: all over the place. What you thought you were going
10:45
Speaker 2: to hide, what you thought was not going to be
10:47
Speaker 2: a part of the electorate for the state of Ohio.
10:50
Speaker 2: is going to be there, and independent voters are going
10:53
Speaker 2: to be walking there tomorrow, those who might even be undecided.
10:56
Speaker 2: There are undecided voters. They're going to walk in there,
10:59
Speaker 2: Brian Thomas, and they're going to vote for Vivek, and
11:01
Speaker 2: they're going to say, I'm voting all red. I'm voting
11:03
Speaker 2: for my safety. I'm voting for making sure that my
11:07
Speaker 2: community supports the flag and supports the United States of America,
11:11
Speaker 2: and I don't want communism and socialism. That's what the
11:13
Speaker 2: vote is going to look like tomorrow.
11:15
Speaker 1: Also, one that supports free press. I guess that journalist
11:18
Speaker 1: didn't appreciate the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.
11:20
Speaker 1: Don't go away. We'll have another segment here with former
11:23
Speaker 1: Vice Mayor Christopher Smithman. After I mentioned, well, getting your
11:26
Speaker 1: roof and.
11:26
Speaker 2: Talk station.
11:27
Speaker 1: 742, 55 KRC Talk Station. Brian Thomas with Christopher Smithman,
11:35
Speaker 1: former Vice Mayor of the City of Cincinnati, doing the
11:36
Speaker 1: Smith event. Christopher, what else is pent up you need
11:40
Speaker 1: to get out of your system this morning?
11:43
Speaker 2: Look, I've been watching this video again. I'm, I'm an independent,
11:46
Speaker 2: as you've known, I've run as an independent and, you know,
11:49
Speaker 2: I've been watching this video. I don't know whether, um,
11:53
Speaker 2: the VEK Ramaswamy's, uh, uh, opponent was under the influence
11:58
Speaker 2: in Youngstown, but it is a really crazy, uh, video.
12:02
Speaker 2: And I don't know if people have watched it, but
12:05
Speaker 2: she's there talking. Her words seem slurred. Her words, words
12:09
Speaker 2: seem unclear. Um, and it's troubling to me. Um, and I,
12:15
Speaker 2: and this is not me like exaggerating to the public.
12:18
Speaker 2: Like this is not just a hit piece. I don't
12:20
Speaker 2: want people to think because I tend, I tend not
12:22
Speaker 2: to get down into these spaces, but I've watched the
12:26
Speaker 2: video enough. that there seems to be something going on
12:31
Speaker 2: that I can't explain, other than maybe she's completely exhausted,
12:38
Speaker 2: which maybe that's possible, or she's under the influence of something.
12:43
Speaker 2: It just didn't make sense to me, Brian, and I'm
12:45
Speaker 2: not exaggerating. Anybody watch the video, watch the video yourself,
12:49
Speaker 2: and see if you come to the same conclusion.
12:51
Speaker 1: Well, and Joe Rogan took a look at it.
12:52
Speaker 2: I thought it was interesting.
12:53
Speaker 1: I made national news, and Joe Rogan, obviously a wildly
12:56
Speaker 1: popular podcast, He said, listen, I've been around drunk people
12:59
Speaker 1: my whole life. I think he said his dad owned
13:01
Speaker 1: a bar or he, anyway, he said, I've been around
13:03
Speaker 1: drunk people my whole life. He said, there's only one
13:05
Speaker 1: thing you look at it. He goes, I don't know
13:06
Speaker 1: if she's drunk. I know what drunk people look and
13:09
Speaker 1: sound like. And that's looks and sounds like people that
13:11
Speaker 1: I've interacted with, interacted with, who've been under the influence,
13:14
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't know. So here's your two questions. She
13:17
Speaker 1: either is such a poor decision maker, exerciser of judgment
13:21
Speaker 1: that she drank before she went on stage at a
13:24
Speaker 1: large campaign event or she This is what you're going
13:27
Speaker 1: to get as the representative of the state of Ohio.
13:29
Speaker 1: If she wasn't drunk, that almost makes it worse. This
13:32
Speaker 1: is the way she comes off completely sober. I mean,
13:35
Speaker 1: that's not a good look, is it?
13:37
Speaker 2: No, it's not. And again, I keep emphasizing, I don't
13:41
Speaker 2: want people to believe that I'm just putting out a
13:44
Speaker 2: hit piece because I stay out of people's families and
13:48
Speaker 2: their relationships. And, you know, I don't get into any
13:51
Speaker 2: of that.
13:52
Speaker 1: But this was so alarming.
13:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, nothing to do with it. This is so
13:57
Speaker 2: alarming when you watch the video. And I just think
14:00
Speaker 2: people should– I think it happened Thursday of last week.
14:03
Speaker 2: I think people prior to voting should take a look
14:05
Speaker 2: at that video, whether they're a Democrat or an independent
14:07
Speaker 2: or a Republican, and take a look at it. We're
14:12
Speaker 2: about to close out, Brian, and we're one day before
14:15
Speaker 2: the election. We know the polls are going to open tomorrow.
14:18
Speaker 2: We know there's most likely it's going to be raining.
14:20
Speaker 2: It's going to be cold. There might be some lines
14:23
Speaker 2: tomorrow because of some higher voter turnout. People have to
14:27
Speaker 2: give themselves time. Please, please take the time to exercise
14:34
Speaker 2: your most important right in this country, which is voting.
14:38
Speaker 2: And early voting has been happening. We see over almost,
14:41
Speaker 2: let's say, 2 million people have voted, let's say. Maybe
14:43
Speaker 2: it's 1.8 million. I don't know, across Ohio. There are
14:46
Speaker 2: 12 million people in the state of Ohio. And all
14:49
Speaker 2: I'm saying is we need a high voter turnout. Our state,
14:54
Speaker 2: our country depends on it. I don't want to look
14:57
Speaker 2: like Virginia. I don't want to wake up and look
14:59
Speaker 2: like New York. I don't want to look like California.
15:01
Speaker 2: This is Ohio. And if we don't show up and
15:03
Speaker 2: vote on Wednesday morning, we cannot complain about the results. Right.
15:08
Speaker 2: Elections have consequences. You, Brian Thomas and I, we talk
15:11
Speaker 2: about this all the time. So there's one person that says, well,
15:14
Speaker 2: I'm not going to vote at all. Well, then you
15:16
Speaker 2: did vote. You voted not to participate. That's a vote. Right.
15:20
Speaker 2: You went in and you said, I'm not going to
15:22
Speaker 2: vote for either person. Right. That's a vote, too. You're
15:25
Speaker 2: saying I'm not I'm voting for other things, but I'm
15:27
Speaker 2: not going to participate. The thing that we need people
15:30
Speaker 2: to do tomorrow is vote down the entire ballot. So
15:33
Speaker 2: Leah Dinkenlacher wins her election. You can't start up at
15:38
Speaker 2: the top and say, I'm just here to vote for
15:39
Speaker 2: Vivek Ramaswamy. That's great. Or I'm here just to vote
15:42
Speaker 2: for Faber. Or I'm here just to vote for Houston.
15:46
Speaker 2: You've got to look at the whole ballot and go
15:49
Speaker 2: all the way down to the end and vote for
15:52
Speaker 2: all of those elections. Number two, take some time to
15:55
Speaker 2: do your homework. prior to showing up so you don't
15:57
Speaker 2: have to rely on a sample ballot. Don't be that
16:00
Speaker 2: person that walks in looking for a sample ballot. Go prepare,
16:03
Speaker 2: get your ballot, know what you're going to do, and
16:06
Speaker 2: rock that vote tomorrow. Show us in the state of Ohio,
16:09
Speaker 2: show the whole country. that we are not going to
16:13
Speaker 2: allow communism and socialism, because what I'm trying to say,
16:16
Speaker 2: people have been attacking me, Brian, saying, what are you
16:19
Speaker 2: talking about? I know if the opposition wins, that the
16:23
Speaker 2: AOC will be at the governor's mansion, that this guy
16:26
Speaker 2: out of Michigan, right, who obviously has been attached to
16:31
Speaker 2: this brotherhood stuff, that this guy could end up being
16:34
Speaker 2: a senator getting national security updates on what is happening
16:41
Speaker 2: in the United States of America. These are very serious races.
16:46
Speaker 2: What we see happening in Alaska, where you go and
16:49
Speaker 2: find a fisherman isolated with the last name Sullivan because
16:53
Speaker 2: you want to cheat. This was actually, Brian, a coup.
16:57
Speaker 2: Because the Senate is in the balance of one vote,
17:00
Speaker 2: one senator, If they win Alaska, they could win control
17:03
Speaker 2: of the Senate. Don't get caught up in just the election.
17:07
Speaker 2: The election by the Democrats was power and control of
17:11
Speaker 2: the United States Senate. So I don't want to hear
17:13
Speaker 2: Democrats running around talking about what Republicans are trying to
17:17
Speaker 2: do when they don't denounce, Brian, this kind of behavior
17:20
Speaker 2: that's happening all over the country. As we close out,
17:23
Speaker 2: there's an election tomorrow. Anybody turning on their radio station,
17:26
Speaker 2: they should hear my voice. I'm in panic mode. I
17:29
Speaker 2: am in panic mode because I'm concerned about the state
17:31
Speaker 2: of Ohio. I'm concerned about what you're concerned about, Brian,
17:34
Speaker 2: that people are not going to get off their couches
17:36
Speaker 2: and show up and participate in the election. I happen
17:39
Speaker 2: to be an independent. Independents are going to make this election.
17:42
Speaker 2: We need them to break more conservative in this election
17:45
Speaker 2: so we can hold the wall and hold off this
17:48
Speaker 2: craziness that's happening across the state of Ohio. Amen.
17:52
Speaker 1: And I know people out there aren't going to vote
17:54
Speaker 1: for Vivek Ramaswamy because he's a person of color. I've
17:56
Speaker 1: actually heard people say that. or because he's Hindu. I mean,
18:00
Speaker 1: if you're going to take that kind of petty, ridiculous
18:02
Speaker 1: racism into the ballot, into the voting booth, and then
18:04
Speaker 1: vote on all the other races but not vote for
18:07
Speaker 1: governor because of that, I just don't know what to say, Christopher.
18:10
Speaker 1: I just am appalled that people have that attitude.
18:14
Speaker 2: Well, he's a great man. He's going to win. He
18:17
Speaker 2: has a beautiful wife, a beautiful family. We should be
18:20
Speaker 2: honored that he is interested. He was interested in putting
18:23
Speaker 2: his name on the ballot. And understand that Ohio makes presidents.
18:27
Speaker 2: When you go out and vote, whoever wins in Ohio,
18:29
Speaker 2: you put them one step closer to being the president
18:33
Speaker 2: of the United States of America. That is what is
18:36
Speaker 2: really scary. Ohio makes presidents in the Midwest, whether it's Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio.
18:42
Speaker 2: That's often where they come from in the Midwest because
18:45
Speaker 2: we're this kind of like collage of so many different people.
18:49
Speaker 2: We're more centered on where we have conservatives and liberals
18:52
Speaker 2: living side by side. Where California and New York, they
18:55
Speaker 2: have high populations, but a lot of group think happening
18:58
Speaker 2: out there. What I'm sharing with you is that Vivek
19:01
Speaker 2: Ramaswamy should be our pick for governor. He's working hard
19:05
Speaker 2: all day. When he gets elected, look for him to
19:09
Speaker 2: come in and work hard to make citizens in Ohio
19:14
Speaker 2: our life better. And I took everything I could on
19:16
Speaker 2: the line to support Vivek because I thought it was
19:20
Speaker 2: so important. I don't have anything in this. There's nothing.
19:22
Speaker 2: I'm gaining. from supporting Vivek Ramaswamy. I'm almost 60 years
19:27
Speaker 2: old and I just care about the state of Ohio.
19:31
Speaker 2: I'm a black American that's lived here my whole life.
19:34
Speaker 2: I'm not a well-traveled guy. I haven't traveled all around
19:37
Speaker 2: the world and I haven't traveled all over the country,
19:40
Speaker 2: United States. I'm an Ohio guy and I just don't
19:43
Speaker 2: want to die thinking that Ohio just took a step
19:47
Speaker 2: towards socialism and communism because they're focused on race and
19:51
Speaker 2: identity politics and things that don't make any sense. And
19:54
Speaker 2: I'm going to be mad on Wednesday if I hear
19:56
Speaker 2: anybody complaining about that election and they didn't even show
19:59
Speaker 2: up and take the time to vote.
20:00
Speaker 1: Christopher, I sure appreciate your enthusiasm and your passion each
20:03
Speaker 1: and every Monday.
20:04
Speaker 2: Thank you.
20:04
Speaker 1: And more so even today. You are always welcome on
20:07
Speaker 1: my program. We'll do this again next Monday. Thank you, Brian.
