- 0:20Speaker 2: the Morning Show.
- 0:21Speaker 1: Happy New Year, Brian Thomas, and I hope you had
- 0:26Speaker 1: a RESTful I've been listening to your show, so I
- 0:28Speaker 1: know you had the flu. I know you've been going
- 0:31Speaker 1: through some things, but I'm glad to have you back.
- 0:35Speaker 1: It's good to hear you.
- 0:36Speaker 2: I appreciate that very much. Yeah, we really wiped our
- 0:39Speaker 2: whole house out. Everybody had it and my mom was
- 0:41Speaker 2: particularly hard hit and we're all praying for her, and
- 0:45Speaker 2: it took her a couple of whiles, a couple of
- 0:46Speaker 2: weeks to come out the other side. Really really really
- 0:50Speaker 2: wiped out. So anybody out there is dealing with that
- 0:52Speaker 2: flu issue, hang in there, lots of fluids and try
- 0:55Speaker 2: to get as much rest as possible, and if you
- 0:57Speaker 2: can get some Tama flu really early on. I was
- 0:59Speaker 2: lucky to get a prescription for that and I was
- 1:01Speaker 2: able to dodge that bullet just after a couple of days.
- 1:04Speaker 1: So shout out to your mom and your bride and
- 1:08Speaker 1: your kids and you that you guys made it through.
- 1:11Speaker 1: But you know, as you know, the fluke is deadly.
- 1:15Speaker 1: It can be deadly, so it's nothing to play with.
- 1:17Speaker 1: So I'm glad your mom made it through.
- 1:19Speaker 2: Thanks, man, I appreciate that.
- 1:21Speaker 1: Brother. Look, you're a girl dad. I'm a girl dad.
- 1:26Speaker 1: There are a lot of girl dads out there. And
- 1:29Speaker 1: you know, I'm scrolling through with my news and I
- 1:32Speaker 1: see an eleven year old girl shot on the playground
- 1:37Speaker 1: in the West End. She didn't have a chance, man,
- 1:41Speaker 1: she didn't have a chance. Here's a girl doing everything
- 1:46Speaker 1: she's supposed to do. She's playing, she's on a playground,
- 1:52Speaker 1: she's out of school, she's handling her business. My understanding
- 1:56Speaker 1: is she's not in a school in our area. The
- 2:01Speaker 1: bottom line here is this shouldn't have happened. And there's
- 2:06Speaker 1: so many levels to this. Being a girl dad meaning
- 2:10Speaker 1: my daughter Camille, who goes to seat in high school,
- 2:13Speaker 1: she's everything to me. She is the world. There's just
- 2:16Speaker 1: something about a connection between a father and a daughter.
- 2:22Speaker 1: My heart goes out to her father and her mother
- 2:26Speaker 1: my heart goes out to this family. But for a man,
- 2:30Speaker 1: this sense of provider and protector, I didn't protect my daughter.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Psychologically what that does to you. I can't get my
- 2:40Speaker 1: arms around it this morning. So there's the human part
- 2:44Speaker 1: of this, the humanity part of this where you have
- 2:47Speaker 1: a girl who's on a playground in Cincinnati who's murdered
- 2:53Speaker 1: right down by the FC Stadium. Now, what's so crazy
- 2:57Speaker 1: about this is that the West End community has been
- 3:01Speaker 1: clamoring for video, for cameras, for lights, because they had
- 3:06Speaker 1: another child killed there in the last year.
- 3:10Speaker 2: So the reality of it is Dominus Davis was killed
- 3:13Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. They've been promising cameras for
- 3:15Speaker 2: that long.
- 3:17Speaker 1: So two years ago he was killed and they've been saying,
- 3:21Speaker 1: here's city Hall, we're gonna bring you cameras. We're gonna
- 3:24Speaker 1: bring you lights, new lights, new cameras, and check this out. Dude,
- 3:28Speaker 1: there was an election. It was an election in November. No,
- 3:32Speaker 1: we're gonna deal with it. We're gonna roll up our
- 3:34Speaker 1: sleeves and deal with it. Because the West End knowing
- 3:38Speaker 1: and should have known that Corey Bowman is right there,
- 3:41Speaker 1: his church is there, his coffee shop is there, he's
- 3:44Speaker 1: vested in the West End, they voted for this administration,
- 3:48Speaker 1: this mayor this council knowingly or should have known that
- 3:53Speaker 1: they were not providing those cameras and lights. Yeah, for
- 3:57Speaker 1: this community.
- 3:57Speaker 2: A promise that was made, and nonetheless in the West End,
- 4:02Speaker 2: which is where this happened, have to have pervall in
- 4:04Speaker 2: the current administration. Eighty five to one hundred percent of
- 4:07Speaker 2: the vote went their direction, eighty five to one. I'm
- 4:10Speaker 2: looking at the chart Joe printed out. Thank you to
- 4:12Speaker 2: the Inquirer and Scott Wortman for creating it so we
- 4:15Speaker 2: know exactly what neighborhoods voted and in what percentage, in
- 4:18Speaker 2: spite of the fact there was a lot of crime
- 4:20Speaker 2: going on in the West End, in spite of the
- 4:21Speaker 2: fact there were promised video cameras that never showed up,
- 4:23Speaker 2: the lights that never showed up. Eighty five to one
- 4:26Speaker 2: hundred percent Pervoll and the cur bakeup.
- 4:29Speaker 1: So why is this relevant to your listening audience, Because
- 4:33Speaker 1: we if the cameras were there, we'd have video of
- 4:37Speaker 1: a car of a person, we would know, we'd have
- 4:41Speaker 1: an idea who shot her, we'd be chasing this person down.
- 4:46Speaker 1: But right now, we don't have the information that we
- 4:49Speaker 1: should have had if council and this mayor and this administration.
- 4:54Speaker 1: We're talking to Disney manager and all of them. They
- 4:57Speaker 1: all have blood on their hands. They might not have
- 5:02Speaker 1: been able to stop the shooter. But in leadership, it's
- 5:05Speaker 1: what you do. So two years ago, as you've educated me,
- 5:09Speaker 1: I thought it was a year ago. Time goes by
- 5:11Speaker 1: so fast. We had a young person murdered there, the
- 5:16Speaker 1: community asked for something, they didn't get it. We had
- 5:19Speaker 1: an election. Now another girl is murdered there still no cameras,
- 5:24Speaker 1: no lights, no press conferences. Community. This is what bothers me.
- 5:29Speaker 1: And when we get back from the break, I'm gonna
- 5:31Speaker 1: stay on this because I have a part be to it. Brian, Oh,
- 5:34Speaker 1: that really gets under my craws. I'm gonna connect some
- 5:38Speaker 1: dots this morning.
- 5:39Speaker 2: I'm sure you are. And it wouldn't surprise that the
- 5:41Speaker 2: Part C and D on top of Part B will
- 5:44Speaker 2: continue with Christopher Smith of inventing his spleen as well
- 5:46Speaker 2: he should seven twenty seventh Station seventh thirty one. Here
- 5:51Speaker 2: think you got case de talk Station Smith van on
- 5:56Speaker 2: to Part B of a multiparty breakdown of crime going
- 6:01Speaker 2: on in the greater Cincinnati area, most notably the West End.
- 6:03Speaker 2: You know, there was apparently a fourteen year old that
- 6:06Speaker 2: was shot over the summer last year, same area, and
- 6:09Speaker 2: prior to that, the eleven year old Dominic Davis killed
- 6:11Speaker 2: more than two years ago. And then of course we
- 6:13Speaker 2: had this poor eleven year old girl, innocent as the
- 6:16Speaker 2: day is long, killed by a drive by shooting. I mean,
- 6:20Speaker 2: there is no explaining this. And I understand your point
- 6:22Speaker 2: of view from a father of a daughter, and I
- 6:25Speaker 2: get that, man, but it's got to be so damn
- 6:27Speaker 2: frustrating that this person was so innocent, clean hands, and
- 6:31Speaker 2: yet her life was taken from her. You had more
- 6:33Speaker 2: to talk about, Christopher, you got the floor.
- 6:36Speaker 1: The politics for me is you have so many African
- 6:41Speaker 1: Americans on council. Stay with me. I'm going to go
- 6:45Speaker 1: into the pot of identity politics. Okay, they have a
- 6:51Speaker 1: mural in the front Black Lives Matter. You've got a
- 6:57Speaker 1: black city manager, you got a black vice mayor, you
- 7:01Speaker 1: got a black man whose chair of Law and Public Safety.
- 7:04Speaker 1: You got black people all down. They're running all kinds
- 7:06Speaker 1: of stuff. Irish Irish ROLLI pay getting over six hundred
- 7:11Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year, and you got an eleven year
- 7:16Speaker 1: old girl murdered and we haven't heard a word from them,
- 7:23Speaker 1: No press conferences, No, here are our solutions. Here's how
- 7:28Speaker 1: we're going to respond to the West End immediately, starting today.
- 7:31Speaker 1: You would think that Mayor Pirval would have his podium
- 7:34Speaker 1: down there putting the damn cameras up himself. Yeah, after
- 7:38Speaker 1: the eleven year old girl is murdered like this, the apathy,
- 7:44Speaker 1: like they have no understanding of the life that was
- 7:47Speaker 1: snuffed out and their direct responsibility of not finding them.
- 7:52Speaker 1: It's not the cops. The cops need help. They're neutering
- 7:55Speaker 1: our cops. It when our cops do proactive policy. They're
- 7:59Speaker 1: so word about the criminals and what's going to happen
- 8:01Speaker 1: to them. We've got judges who are letting them out
- 8:04Speaker 1: as suit as we arrest them. And we've got eleven
- 8:07Speaker 1: year old girl getting murdered on a playground in the
- 8:09Speaker 1: West End with no response from this mayor, no response
- 8:13Speaker 1: from this council, and a west End community that eighty
- 8:16Speaker 1: five percent of them voted for it, but they got
- 8:20Speaker 1: a mural on the outside of city Hall that says
- 8:23Speaker 1: black lives matter. Let me tell you something, Brian Times,
- 8:26Speaker 1: you are my white brother. You care more about Black
- 8:29Speaker 1: Americans lives than they do. Yeah, they don't care. This
- 8:38Speaker 1: is not on their radar. They're thinking about street cars.
- 8:41Speaker 1: They're thinking about FC and the stadiums, and what should
- 8:45Speaker 1: they do with District one, and how do they create
- 8:47Speaker 1: some kind of mall down there that's like a like
- 8:50Speaker 1: the yellow brick road all the way down in the
- 8:52Speaker 1: city Hall. That's what's on their mind. It's not on
- 8:56Speaker 1: the people. It's not on this dirty city as we
- 8:59Speaker 1: drive around the last that's everywhere anywhere you look. This
- 9:03Speaker 1: is a dirty city. I travel like everybody else travels.
- 9:06Speaker 1: This is a dirty city. We are turning into Chicago
- 9:09Speaker 1: and New York every single frea your day. And I'm
- 9:14Speaker 1: sick of it. I'm sick of listening to people like
- 9:16Speaker 1: Mayor Purebaal who care nothing about the African American community
- 9:21Speaker 1: with a mural on the outside saying black lives matter
- 9:24Speaker 1: and our babies are being flattered in the street. And
- 9:27Speaker 1: I have a right to talk about this. I am
- 9:30Speaker 1: African American, I have five children, I have a daughter
- 9:33Speaker 1: that goes to see me. I care deeply about it.
- 9:36Speaker 1: My daughter could have been in that park. We should
- 9:38Speaker 1: have gone over to Corey Bowman's church, had a great
- 9:42Speaker 1: service with him, and my daughter could have been in
- 9:44Speaker 1: that park praying, and she could be the one dead today.
- 9:49Speaker 1: Wake up Cincinnati, Wake up West End. This bothers me.
- 9:54Speaker 1: You know, it reminds me of this song. You know
- 9:57Speaker 1: it's called Sending the Country. You heard this song The
- 10:00Speaker 1: Crowns Huh yeah it it really? Are we up here,
- 10:08Speaker 1: mean here at last on the ground you in Medah.
- 10:14Speaker 1: And then the clowns. We've got clowns down there at
- 10:18Speaker 1: city Hall. That's what we have, brother, We have clowns
- 10:22Speaker 1: down there at city Hall that care nothing about African Americans.
- 10:27Speaker 1: They pimp us out every single day. The Democratic Party
- 10:31Speaker 1: pimps us out every time there's an election. Weneath the
- 10:34Speaker 1: black vote. We're gonna do this, We're gonna do that.
- 10:37Speaker 1: They break every single promise. Then they spit in the
- 10:40Speaker 1: face of Republicans and Conservatives and independence and libertarians who
- 10:44Speaker 1: actually care, who want to help, want want want people
- 10:49Speaker 1: to say, hey, we want to provide opportunities for you.
- 10:52Speaker 1: We want to be responsive. I guarantee you. If my
- 10:55Speaker 1: friend Corey Bowman was the mayor there'd have been cameras
- 10:58Speaker 1: there the next day. I guarantee you if brad Winstrop
- 11:02Speaker 1: had been the mayor, there would have been cameras there already.
- 11:05Speaker 1: The problem here is African Americans are confused. Lyndon Johnson
- 11:11Speaker 1: put it together. He said he was gonna put a
- 11:13Speaker 1: program together that made sure that African Americans voted for
- 11:18Speaker 1: Democrats for two hundred years, and he did it. And
- 11:22Speaker 1: we're sleep at the wheel when eleven year old girls
- 11:25Speaker 1: are being murdered on playgrounds and you have a mayor
- 11:27Speaker 1: and a council doing nothing.
- 11:29Speaker 2: Brian Thomas, Well tell you what I really wish you
- 11:32Speaker 2: were a little more passionate about this, Christopher Smith, Aman,
- 11:36Speaker 2: let's bring it back for one more segment before we
- 11:38Speaker 2: get to Hamilton Township Police Chief Scott Hughes with his
- 11:41Speaker 2: opinion on the violence over the past couple of weeks.
- 11:43Speaker 2: One more with Christia.
- 11:44Speaker 1: Abram fifty five KRS the talk station.
- 11:48Speaker 2: Seven forty one here fifty five KRC DE talk station
- 11:52Speaker 2: one more and he is venting without question today Christopher SMITHMA,
- 11:56Speaker 2: this with a smith Man. We're gonna hear from Hamilton
- 11:58Speaker 2: Township Police Chief Scott Hu's in the next segment, Christopher, again,
- 12:02Speaker 2: the floor is yours.
- 12:04Speaker 1: Well. I think the chief for his service and his
- 12:08Speaker 1: commitment and all his officers and all peace officers across
- 12:11Speaker 1: our country. But as you're about to interview him, I'm
- 12:14Speaker 1: going to switch and just say, you know, I want
- 12:16Speaker 1: to be clear. I support the administration for capturing Madura. President.
- 12:23Speaker 1: He's not president, he's a he's a dictator. And the
- 12:26Speaker 1: language is important because he stole the election. He wasn't
- 12:29Speaker 1: the president. There was an election of free election, and
- 12:34Speaker 1: I assume that when that election happens again that the
- 12:38Speaker 1: rightful person will be elected in Venezuela. But what blows
- 12:41Speaker 1: me away are these protests. It's hard to watch these
- 12:46Speaker 1: people that are walking around acting like all of these
- 12:48Speaker 1: people who are protesting around the world, not the country,
- 12:51Speaker 1: Venezuelan's Cubans, Colombians, Latino people. The Latin community is excited
- 12:59Speaker 1: about the all of this dictator because of all the
- 13:02Speaker 1: things that he has done. The murder, the rate, the prostitution,
- 13:08Speaker 1: the drugs, the political prisoners, it's all insane in the
- 13:13Speaker 1: Western hemisphere, and we finally had a president that had
- 13:16Speaker 1: the kahunas to go in and Shay look guy, not
- 13:19Speaker 1: in my backyard. This is not gonna happen here. Columbia
- 13:23Speaker 1: better worry about it. Mexico better worry about it. Cuba
- 13:27Speaker 1: obviously is in trouble because their oil is going to
- 13:29Speaker 1: be cut off. Yeah, and you got a Cuban who's
- 13:32Speaker 1: the secretary of State. If you watch that press conference, listen,
- 13:37Speaker 1: he's not playing. He is Cuban. He said, I'm going
- 13:40Speaker 1: to clean this up before I get out of here.
- 13:42Speaker 1: So the reality of it is, and you already see
- 13:44Speaker 1: Cuban saying we want the fall of Cuba. We want
- 13:48Speaker 1: Cuba to be a free country. Here's what's crazy. What
- 13:52Speaker 1: is going on with these people that are out here
- 13:54Speaker 1: protesting holding flags from Venezuela. They're not Venezuelans. They have it,
- 14:00Speaker 1: probably couldn't even tell you where it is on a map.
- 14:02Speaker 1: But the reality of it is they're out there saying
- 14:05Speaker 1: the president did something that was bad, even though the
- 14:08Speaker 1: super super super super majority of the world, including those
- 14:13Speaker 1: who are directly impacted, are saying this was a great thing.
- 14:17Speaker 1: Are they listening, Brian Thomas, what the hell is going on?
- 14:20Speaker 1: What am I watching on TV? What am I missing?
- 14:22Speaker 1: When I see people out protesting saying this was a
- 14:25Speaker 1: bad thing. This was a drug lord. There was an indictment.
- 14:28Speaker 1: I've been listening to your show. This was an indictment
- 14:31Speaker 1: the DEA. It was carried out by the president. This
- 14:34Speaker 1: man was pulled out of his bed with his wife
- 14:36Speaker 1: and he's going to be arrained this morning for justice
- 14:40Speaker 1: for his crimes. This is what this was out. Nobody
- 14:43Speaker 1: was killed. Our elite teams did a great job. We
- 14:47Speaker 1: commend the military and everything that they did over the weekend.
- 14:51Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I'm not talking about regime change. I'm
- 14:54Speaker 1: not talking about oil that Russia and China and Iran
- 14:57Speaker 1: are down there taking anyway any or anyway they're taking it.
- 15:02Speaker 1: The reality of it is, this was a terrible guy,
- 15:05Speaker 1: a dictator that we had a worn out for his arrest.
- 15:08Speaker 1: And I've been listening to your show. Guy, I'm glad
- 15:11Speaker 1: his buddy's in jail.
- 15:12Speaker 2: Well got to remember, though he was a Marxist slash socialist.
- 15:16Speaker 2: He was there, Darwin for a long time on the
- 15:18Speaker 2: heels of Chavez. It was one of those countries that
- 15:21Speaker 2: was held out as an example to be followed. Bernie,
- 15:24Speaker 2: you know, Bernie Sanders like were all just praising about
- 15:26Speaker 2: the whole idea of the concept that're going on there.
- 15:28Speaker 2: Marxists are willing to overlook the crimes of their Marxist leaders.
- 15:32Speaker 2: Look at Russia, the history of the murders that are
- 15:35Speaker 2: committed in the name of Marxism and socialism. It's happened
- 15:38Speaker 2: all over the world. They've killed more people in the
- 15:40Speaker 2: name of their ideology than any other ideology out there.
- 15:44Speaker 2: They're not willing to hold their their Marxists accountable for
- 15:47Speaker 2: anything that they've done wrong. And I think that's where
- 15:49Speaker 2: this is coming from. So I don't know, Christopher, I
- 15:53Speaker 2: don't know.
- 15:53Speaker 1: Man. I'm watching the mayor of New York come out,
- 15:57Speaker 1: and I tell you, this is a very dangerous time
- 16:01Speaker 1: because it's so serious. You see Venezuelans who are challenging
- 16:05Speaker 1: these protesters. I am worried that this is going to
- 16:08Speaker 1: turn into a toxic, violent situation because they don't know
- 16:11Speaker 1: what they're playing with. They hate the president so much,
- 16:14Speaker 1: no matter what he does, no matter how successful he is,
- 16:17Speaker 1: no matter if this was in the best interest. Meaning
- 16:19Speaker 1: Democrats just two to four years ago were saying they
- 16:22Speaker 1: want him out of there. Now all of a sudden,
- 16:24Speaker 1: they're supporting him. They put a fifty million dollars baffling
- 16:28Speaker 1: on them, and ultimately this president went out and executed
- 16:32Speaker 1: what they said they wanted. Now they're out protesting, saying
- 16:35Speaker 1: everything is bad. I'm just saying to you, Brian Thomas,
- 16:38Speaker 1: this is the complete insanity where people say, people have
- 16:42Speaker 1: this derangement about our current president. You have to be
- 16:46Speaker 1: able to have sense and say when things you like
- 16:48Speaker 1: are happening, it makes sense you should be out there
- 16:50Speaker 1: commending him. You shouldn't be out there trying to destroy America,
- 16:54Speaker 1: destroy our flag. I'm letting you know, brother, the Venezuelan
- 16:57Speaker 1: people are so excited about the possibilities of their freedom.
- 17:01Speaker 1: I hope it goes well. I pray it goes well.
- 17:04Speaker 1: But this was one hell of a step one balls.
- 17:07Speaker 1: He moved from the president, the executive of our country
- 17:11Speaker 1: to go in and snack this man straight out of
- 17:13Speaker 1: his bed with his wife and bring him back to
- 17:15Speaker 1: New York and arrain him on Monday. And I commend
- 17:18Speaker 1: this administration for what they did.
- 17:20Speaker 2: Christopher Smithing, always a pleasure hearing from me, and I
- 17:23Speaker 2: appreciate the passion behind your arguments and comments this morning.
- 17:26Speaker 1: Love you, brother, Love you too, man.
- 17:28Speaker 2: Yeah, Happy New Year, Looking forward to another New Year
- 17:31Speaker 2: conversation All year long, forty seven right now stick around
- 17:34Speaker 2: Hamilton Township Police Chief Scott Hughes
