The "Smither-vent" - Episode 147 - I want Ohio to be Ohio, not California or New York · Brian Thomas

0:00
Speaker 1: I'm KRS the talk station tee on a Monday, one
0:06
Speaker 1: of my favorite times a week at least when he's
0:09
Speaker 1: on the line ready to talk, and he is. He,
0:11
Speaker 1: of course, is the former vice mayor of the City
0:13
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati, my friend and our friend, generally speaking, Christopher
0:16
Speaker 1: smitheman with always wonderful thoughts, comments and insights. Welcome back, man.
0:20
Speaker 1: It is wonderful talking with you this morning, Christopher.
0:23
Speaker 2: Right. It's so good to hear your voice, and you
0:26
Speaker 2: sound strong and energetic and arrested. So I'm so glad
0:30
Speaker 2: to have you back. Brother. Welcome to miss.
0:33
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. And on that note, I will
0:35
Speaker 1: thank my family for allowing me to at least sound rested,
0:38
Speaker 1: because I do feel quite rested after a couple of
0:40
Speaker 1: weeks off, and I appreciate people just tuning back into
0:43
Speaker 1: the show and for listening to the folks filling in
0:45
Speaker 1: for me while I was gone. It's nice to be back, though, Christopher.
0:50
Speaker 2: Brother. I just want to jump in on a story
0:54
Speaker 2: that just caught my attention. Every once in a while
0:57
Speaker 2: kept my attention, and this was the story about calling
1:02
Speaker 2: Mickey Mouse at some levels, and I was trying to
1:07
Speaker 2: get my head wrapped around in and probably your listening
1:10
Speaker 2: audience might not have heard that story, but somebody at
1:13
Speaker 2: the Smithsonium was giving testimony and being asked about this.
1:17
Speaker 2: I grew up on Mickey Mouse. I grew up on
1:20
Speaker 2: Scooby Doo. You know, you know, I grew up on
1:24
Speaker 2: the Jetsons. I grew up on Popeye. I don't understand
1:30
Speaker 2: the Flintstones. I don't understand where we're going, Brian Thomas,
1:35
Speaker 2: as a society where we can say Mickey Mouse has
1:38
Speaker 2: on the color black and in some way that's black face.
1:43
Speaker 2: Now we're gonna We're gonna black face, dude. This is
1:48
Speaker 2: how far gone people in our society are now, where
1:54
Speaker 2: Mickey Mouse now is a target right for some of
1:58
Speaker 2: these groups out here Year, which was basically a kid's
2:03
Speaker 2: program that is so wholesome, like it's like Little House
2:08
Speaker 2: on the Prairie, Like, dude, it just shocked my conscious
2:11
Speaker 2: when I heard that lady talking about Mickey Mouse.
2:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, maybe this is another opportunity for the leftist
2:19
Speaker 1: to rewrite history. Christopher, whether it is no racism built
2:22
Speaker 1: into the character Mickey Mouse, and god knows what Walt
2:25
Speaker 1: Disney's personal feelings were. One way or another. It certainly
2:28
Speaker 1: didn't manifest itself in overt racism coming out. It's a
2:32
Speaker 1: damn mouse, right, you know?
2:36
Speaker 2: And what blows me away, Brian Thomas in my common sense?
2:40
Speaker 2: All right, and I'm gonna try to generally talk about
2:43
Speaker 2: this so Joe doesn't have to dump me. But I
2:47
Speaker 2: think I think that the end word is a horrible
2:51
Speaker 2: word that is thrown around right between Black Americans like nothing.
2:58
Speaker 2: I think it is absolutely horrendous. And so it's in
3:02
Speaker 2: our music, it's in our common talk, it's in movies,
3:07
Speaker 2: it's in poetry, right, and if somebody outside of that
3:13
Speaker 2: group were to use that word, they would be absolutely villainized,
3:18
Speaker 2: would lose their job, would lose their career. This is
3:21
Speaker 2: the confusion. But then you come and say Mickey Mouse
3:26
Speaker 2: is a racist or Mickey Mouse in itself is racist,
3:30
Speaker 2: But you don't address the proliferation of the in word
3:35
Speaker 2: where it is used in such commonplace and it's thrown
3:39
Speaker 2: around in such a ridiculous way. Right our Baptist Minister's Conference,
3:44
Speaker 2: Reverend Doc Foster, when I was the president of the
3:48
Speaker 2: Cincinnati NAACP, he buried the N word, and I thought
3:52
Speaker 2: that was an awesome act. Of the Baptist Minister's Conference.
3:56
Speaker 2: But my point to you is, how do we talk
3:59
Speaker 2: about these really silly things right and then not address
4:03
Speaker 2: something like the proliferation of the in word within Black
4:08
Speaker 2: America that it is so commonplace that people think it's okay,
4:13
Speaker 2: And it's not okay. It never been okay, it's not
4:16
Speaker 2: okay now, it won't be okay one hundred years from now.
4:20
Speaker 2: So and there is no derivative of the in word
4:23
Speaker 2: that makes it okay. What does it make it okay
4:26
Speaker 2: if a white dude uses it, a black dude, a Latino.
4:29
Speaker 2: I'm just blown away. That is all in our music.
4:33
Speaker 2: And I can't hear anything from the Smithsonium saying anything
4:37
Speaker 2: about that. But she wants to address Mickey Mouse, Well,
4:41
Speaker 2: let me ask.
4:41
Speaker 1: You a thought question here, as we're going to break
4:43
Speaker 1: Christopher the banning and effectively banning the use of that word.
4:47
Speaker 1: And I don't have any problem eradicating it from the lexicon,
4:49
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of words out there that I
4:51
Speaker 1: refuse to use generally speaking, because I find them offensive.
4:54
Speaker 1: So that's one of them. But when you out when
4:56
Speaker 1: you specifically say and that you can't use the N
4:59
Speaker 1: word with the exception of black folks using it, it
5:04
Speaker 1: becomes the exclusive purview a word that only black people
5:08
Speaker 1: can use and get away with or otherwise, you know,
5:11
Speaker 1: embrace it as a word that has some sort of
5:14
Speaker 1: particular meaning given the context of which it's being used.
5:18
Speaker 1: So wouldn't that increase it? If you have ownership of
5:21
Speaker 1: a word, at least from a societal perspective where only
5:24
Speaker 1: black people can get away with using that word, does
5:27
Speaker 1: that increase the use of that word within the community? Christopher?
5:30
Speaker 2: Perhaps I think it does, But I think it is
5:33
Speaker 2: absolutely wrong. No, it is. Yes, the historical point of
5:38
Speaker 2: it is horrific. At All I'm saying is that if
5:42
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about things in our society like
5:45
Speaker 2: a Mickey Mouse, right, if that's where we want to go,
5:49
Speaker 2: and Mickey Mouse has part of the costume of Mickey
5:51
Speaker 2: Mouse as black meaning by the way, Mickey Mouse, when
5:55
Speaker 2: when it rolled out, was only in black and white. So,
5:59
Speaker 2: but the notion that we're going to spend time talking
6:01
Speaker 2: about Mickey Mouse, but we're not gonna get at this
6:04
Speaker 2: culture of throwing around the in word right like it's nothing.
6:10
Speaker 2: And I'm saying, whether it's white, black, Latino, Asian, whether
6:14
Speaker 2: it's whether it's straight not straight, the use of the
6:18
Speaker 2: in word is unacceptable. That has to be the position.
6:23
Speaker 2: And I'm curious why the woman doesn't address these issues
6:27
Speaker 2: like this head on. I'm tired of hearing it in music.
6:31
Speaker 2: I'm tired of hearing it in poetry. I'm tired of
6:33
Speaker 2: hearing it in movies and common talk. And I'm saying
6:37
Speaker 2: we have to get to a point where Brian is
6:40
Speaker 2: not okay for you to use it, and it's not
6:42
Speaker 2: okay for me to use it in any context. That
6:45
Speaker 2: should be the position. That is my common sense.
6:48
Speaker 1: It's a perfect common sense position. I embrace it and
6:51
Speaker 1: agree with you wholeheartedly. Let's continue with Christopher Smithvan with
6:54
Speaker 1: the Smith Avent. It's the talk station seven two on
6:59
Speaker 1: a Monday, in the middle of a conversation with the
7:01
Speaker 1: former baron the city of Cincinnati. Call up me, Christopher smitheman, Christopher,
7:05
Speaker 1: you under the weather day. Sounds like your voice is
7:07
Speaker 1: cracking up a bit. Just want to make sure you're
7:09
Speaker 1: you're doing okay, my friend.
7:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, brother, I'm in a little under the weather, but
7:13
Speaker 2: I'm pushing through and thank you for caring. But but Brian,
7:18
Speaker 2: this part really frustrates me because it's mired in hypocrisy,
7:24
Speaker 2: meaning comedians and movies. What we see coming out of
7:30
Speaker 2: the West Coast, in the East Coast, right, the craziness
7:35
Speaker 2: that they're putting out here as far as music and
7:38
Speaker 2: putting out here as movies. They're acting like they're operating
7:42
Speaker 2: at the highest level of culture, right, and they're going
7:45
Speaker 2: to tell us in the Midwest how we're going to
7:47
Speaker 2: live our life. An example of that, and this is
7:49
Speaker 2: not far fest is a discussion that they have about
7:54
Speaker 2: should there'll be a popular vote or the electoral process. Yes,
7:58
Speaker 2: you and I know that I don't want California or
8:03
Speaker 2: cities like La or cities like New York who have
8:06
Speaker 2: higher populations to pick who the president of the United
8:09
Speaker 2: States is, right, and I'm saying that they're parts of
8:12
Speaker 2: our country where culturally they are demonic. There's things coming
8:18
Speaker 2: out of the West and the East Coast that are
8:20
Speaker 2: absolutely insane that you and I are trying to keep
8:24
Speaker 2: out of our households, away from grandchildren, away from our children.
8:28
Speaker 2: These are the same people that show up and condemn
8:31
Speaker 2: you and I and tell us that we don't know
8:34
Speaker 2: anything about politics or about how the world operates, and
8:38
Speaker 2: I'm saying, I've refuse to listen to this woman from
8:43
Speaker 2: the Smithsonium lecture me about Mickey Mouse. If you're going
8:48
Speaker 2: to tell me about Mickey Mouse being a racist, why
8:51
Speaker 2: don't you address the garbage that's coming out of the
8:55
Speaker 2: West Coast and the East Coast as far as music
8:58
Speaker 2: and culture that is absolutely destroying our family. Well, you know,
9:03
Speaker 2: the interesting is what frustrates me.
9:04
Speaker 1: I understand your frustration, and I think some of that
9:06
Speaker 1: frustration is born by the fact that you and I
9:08
Speaker 1: are paying taxpayer dollars to keep the Sisonian Institution alive,
9:12
Speaker 1: and the exhibits that they display are coming at your
9:14
Speaker 1: and my expense. We don't have a choice in the matter,
9:17
Speaker 1: and we cannot buy the music that you and I
9:19
Speaker 1: find offensive. We don't have to watch the crap that
9:21
Speaker 1: Hollywood puts out. We can pick and choose and make
9:24
Speaker 1: the decisions on our own, and therefore we won't be
9:25
Speaker 1: subjected to it. But when your taxpayer dollars are funding
9:29
Speaker 1: this nonsense, and you expect to go to the Smithsonian
9:32
Speaker 1: Institute and see all these wonderful exhibits and displays, they
9:34
Speaker 1: have only to be indoctrinated to some nonsensical left wing philosophy.
9:38
Speaker 1: That's when they've crossed the line.
9:42
Speaker 2: I agree, I agree, I agree completely, And I'll give
9:45
Speaker 2: one other point. And I don't remember where the exhibit was,
9:49
Speaker 2: but this was many, many, many years ago, but they
9:52
Speaker 2: did an exhibit where it was blasphemy around Jesus Christ
9:57
Speaker 2: and they had taken they had taken Jesus Christ and
10:01
Speaker 2: flipped Jesus Christ on the cross upside down. It was something,
10:05
Speaker 2: It was some abomination. All I'm saying here is that
10:09
Speaker 2: I don't know why when we get to elections that
10:12
Speaker 2: Hollywood believes I should listen to them about who I
10:17
Speaker 2: should be voting for when I'm concerned about their garbage,
10:23
Speaker 2: their proliferation of things that are destroying our families every
10:28
Speaker 2: single day, and whether it is the in word or
10:31
Speaker 2: the proliferation of it, whether it's the over sexualization of
10:36
Speaker 2: our women, whether it's calling women out of their names
10:39
Speaker 2: in these music things. And the Smithsonian director or whoever
10:43
Speaker 2: she is, the best that she could bring us last
10:46
Speaker 2: week was that Mickey Mouse in itself is racist, is insane,
10:51
Speaker 2: And I just wanted to spend time discussing this with
10:55
Speaker 2: my brother saying, listen, we can do better. We've got
10:58
Speaker 2: to push back. We've got to make sure that we
11:01
Speaker 2: call these clowns out when they come out with this
11:04
Speaker 2: kind of craziness, because if we don't, right, there are
11:07
Speaker 2: people out there that think, oh man, well, maybe Mickey
11:09
Speaker 2: Mouse is racist, Maybe the flint Stones are racist, Maybe
11:12
Speaker 2: the Jetsons are racist, maybe Popeye is racist. You know,
11:16
Speaker 2: I don't understand it, but I can just tell you, dude,
11:18
Speaker 2: I am set up with it now. I'm not gonna
11:21
Speaker 2: say whether it's coming from the left or the right
11:23
Speaker 2: or wherever it's coming from. I'm just saying Mickey Mouse
11:26
Speaker 2: is way too far. It's the concept of saying, Brian Thomas,
11:32
Speaker 2: We're gonna take an iconic cartoon right and say that
11:37
Speaker 2: was created in black and white that many of generations watched,
11:41
Speaker 2: and just say Mickey Mouse in itself is racist. I'm
11:45
Speaker 2: with it, bro. You know.
11:46
Speaker 1: The other component here is going back to my idea
11:48
Speaker 1: about choice. This is why I believe in school choice,
11:50
Speaker 1: because if your kids are stuck in an institution that
11:53
Speaker 1: is peddling this nonsense in the curriculum, your kids get
11:57
Speaker 1: brainwashed and thinking Mickey Mouse's somehow that's what they maybe
12:01
Speaker 1: are very well be teaching to your children who are
12:03
Speaker 1: stuck in the one size fits all left wing curriculum
12:07
Speaker 1: that they offer. Give my kid a choice that way.
12:10
Speaker 1: I like my choice in music and movies and everything else.
12:12
Speaker 1: I have a choice over I can pick myself. Period.
12:16
Speaker 1: Don't go away. We got more with Christopher after I
12:19
Speaker 1: mentioned my good friends at Fast and Pro Roofing. You
12:20
Speaker 1: want the best in roofing, you want faster Chresy they
12:24
Speaker 1: Talk station. So for two fifty five krsit the Talk
12:28
Speaker 1: Station and Brian Thomas with Christopher Smith Avan continuing the
12:31
Speaker 1: Smith event. Christopher, keep going, my friend, love what we're
12:34
Speaker 1: talking about this morning.
12:37
Speaker 2: I appreciate it because there are very few places, Brian,
12:40
Speaker 2: where we can kind of have these very candid conversations
12:44
Speaker 2: that are incredibly important and I think play a role in,
12:48
Speaker 2: you know, how people are engaging politics and culture and
12:53
Speaker 2: all of those kinds of things. I want to do
12:56
Speaker 2: one quick commercial. People should be very safe, I mean
13:00
Speaker 2: be very careful tonight with this rain. It's it's not
13:04
Speaker 2: the rain as much as it is the standing water
13:07
Speaker 2: because of the infrastructure. Brain people like you.
13:13
Speaker 1: Mean, like the Duck Creek floodgate that didn't work.
13:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, like that man, Like tonight, when you when you
13:20
Speaker 2: start jo like a rain, I start thinking about our
13:26
Speaker 2: highways and communities where you could be driving down the
13:30
Speaker 2: road man and hit almost a lake, and you just
13:33
Speaker 2: have to be very very careful. People have to be
13:35
Speaker 2: very careful tonight as they're going home from work knowing
13:39
Speaker 2: that our infrastructure is failing and that we could have
13:43
Speaker 2: overruns of water standing in places. And I don't think
13:46
Speaker 2: the city does the best job of coning that off,
13:49
Speaker 2: meaning putting cones up and notifying people like, hey, dude,
13:52
Speaker 2: you're coming off this ramp and there is literally a
13:55
Speaker 2: lot of water here, so it's very very dangerous. So
13:58
Speaker 2: just just just to set that up. And I feel
14:00
Speaker 2: bad for those businesses that got hit in places like Madisonville,
14:05
Speaker 2: in Hyde Park and you know, pleasant Ridge. People are
14:10
Speaker 2: still like getting over that, Brian Thomason, They're gonna hit it.
14:14
Speaker 2: They're gonna get hit again tonight. I doubt that the
14:17
Speaker 2: city and the mayor and the manager whoever, have put
14:20
Speaker 2: taking any real proactive steps to prepare us for more
14:24
Speaker 2: rain tonight. I mean, so I think we're going to
14:28
Speaker 2: see more of more of the same, But I want
14:31
Speaker 2: to end I want to end our segment man by
14:33
Speaker 2: saying to everybody listening, is that there is really hope
14:38
Speaker 2: because they're the common person out there understands our conversations, Brian.
14:44
Speaker 2: They do not get the craziness most people are in
14:48
Speaker 2: the middle. They understand that Mickey Mouse is not racist,
14:52
Speaker 2: and that the senator who asked the physician some six
14:57
Speaker 2: months ago, I believe can man have a baby? And
15:03
Speaker 2: she wouldn't answer the question like that would and so
15:05
Speaker 2: he was intrigued. He said, oh the World War War?
15:08
Speaker 2: He said, are we going to follow a science here?
15:10
Speaker 2: I just gotta ask you, now, come on now. He
15:12
Speaker 2: didn't realize this was going to be a tough question.
15:15
Speaker 2: Can't a man have a baby? A man can't have
15:18
Speaker 2: a baby, Brian Thomas. I mean, we're in this we're
15:21
Speaker 2: in this world right now, brou where we can't even
15:24
Speaker 2: answer the simplest questions like Mickey Mouse isn't a racist
15:29
Speaker 2: and a man cannot and will not ever be able
15:34
Speaker 2: to have a baby.
15:35
Speaker 1: Well, this goes back to this Orwellian concept. Got to
15:39
Speaker 1: keep going back to Orals nineteen eighty four, The ministry
15:41
Speaker 1: of truth. You know, war is peace pieces war. By
15:43
Speaker 1: changing the definition of something, you kick people back on
15:47
Speaker 1: their heels, and they don't know how to react. The
15:50
Speaker 1: reason someone might suggest, although backcrap and seen as it
15:53
Speaker 1: may be, that a guy can have a baby. He
15:56
Speaker 1: has no womb, he has no ovaries, he has no
15:59
Speaker 1: place to gest state the fiebis whatever. It's because no, no, no, no,
16:03
Speaker 1: the word man might mean a woman who identifies as
16:07
Speaker 1: a man, and therefore we must agree that she now
16:11
Speaker 1: he is in fact a man. No, even if we
16:16
Speaker 1: agree with that notion, oh, that person is a man,
16:19
Speaker 1: that does not mean that that person gonna have a baby. Nonetheless,
16:22
Speaker 1: So it's it's just it, but it causes people to
16:26
Speaker 1: well quit engaging in obvious you know. Even we can
16:30
Speaker 1: call this laughter, because let's roll back the clock five
16:33
Speaker 1: years or more, or just even a little less. Perhaps
16:35
Speaker 1: if you said a guy could have a baby, you
16:37
Speaker 1: would be laughed out of the room. You might be
16:39
Speaker 1: centerver for counseling, or maybe you have to take biology
16:41
Speaker 1: over again. But no, no, no, we've changed what it
16:44
Speaker 1: means to be a man or woman, and now we
16:46
Speaker 1: have to agree with someone else's subjective opinion about who
16:52
Speaker 1: they think they are. That does not override science or
16:56
Speaker 1: definitional reality. But that's what they're.
16:58
Speaker 2: Trying to do. Man. And they and literally these were
17:03
Speaker 2: questions that were asked and answered, and the and the
17:07
Speaker 2: scientists or the doctor or the obj ob gyn whatever
17:11
Speaker 2: her title was, refuse to answer the senator's question, and
17:16
Speaker 2: that was simply, can a man have a baby? And
17:20
Speaker 2: the answer is no. If she had just said no,
17:22
Speaker 2: it moved on. We would be talking about it was
17:25
Speaker 2: she refused to answer the question. And Brian, that's where
17:29
Speaker 2: the world is. If this is why I support Vi
17:32
Speaker 2: vek Ramaswami, the vek Ramaswami as our next governor. I
17:38
Speaker 2: am not gonna wake up to where we have a
17:42
Speaker 2: governor that's entertaining these kinds of things that you and
17:45
Speaker 2: I are talking about, because that's gonna be our reality.
17:48
Speaker 2: If we do, we're gonna look like Virginia. And so
17:51
Speaker 2: people have to understand, dude, we have got to vote
17:54
Speaker 2: for the veik and make sure that he wins. And
17:57
Speaker 2: I don't want it to be like oh, one or
17:59
Speaker 2: two percent or three percent. I want a domination that
18:03
Speaker 2: we're sending a message that we want an adult at
18:07
Speaker 2: the state level that will prioritize education. That will make
18:12
Speaker 2: sure that we're dealing with crime in our urban cores, right,
18:17
Speaker 2: that won't that will that will focus on recruiting businesses,
18:21
Speaker 2: so that will talk about lowering our property taxes, which
18:28
Speaker 2: my property taxes are crazy, so I want my property
18:31
Speaker 2: taxes to go down, and really putting an instansis on
18:34

18:46
Speaker 2: you're a Democrat or whether you're a Republican or independent.
18:49
Speaker 2: And all of the things that I started with, meaning
18:52
Speaker 2: Mickey Mouse, the conversations about the N word, about where
18:57
Speaker 2: our culture is going in music, right, where our taxes
19:00
Speaker 2: are all come down to On November, we have an
19:03
Speaker 2: election and we've got to choose, and I choose Vivek,
19:08
Speaker 2: and I'm going to continue to push him. And it's
19:10
Speaker 2: not because I'm on his team or he's paying me
19:14
Speaker 2: or anything. Is I want the very best for Ohio.

Speaker 2: I'm at the end of my life, not the beginning
19:22
Speaker 2: of my life, and I want to make sure that
19:24

19:28
Speaker 2: I don't want to look like New York, right, I
19:31
Speaker 2: want to look like Ohio. And the reality of it is,

19:38
Speaker 2: we set the tone for the rest of the world.
19:41
Speaker 2: I don't know why California in New York continues to
19:44
Speaker 2: try to act like they're going to run us and
19:45
Speaker 2: tell us how to live our lives. They're not. I
19:48
Speaker 2: don't care what those movies stars are out there promoting.

19:57
Speaker 2: his next interview with you when on your show. I listen.
20:02
Speaker 2: I want to hear his points because I really do
20:04
Speaker 2: believe that he's going to win. But it's going to
20:06
Speaker 2: be a tough race because Democrats are coming with this
20:10
Speaker 2: agenda of identity politics, and they want us distracted on
20:15
Speaker 2: things that make no sense, like Mickey Mouse. Right. I
20:19
Speaker 2: don't want to talk about Mickey Mouse, dude. I want
20:21
Speaker 2: to talk about how do we educate our children and
20:24
Speaker 2: make sure that they are competitive so when they come
20:27
Speaker 2: out of college, Dude, they can get a job and
20:30
