eight two three talk tound five fifty on AT and
T phones coming up by about fifteen minutes. Christopher Smithman
(00:35):
returns of the fifty five KRSE Morning Show as he
does it every Monday, at about seven twenty. Uh. Obviously
he's got a huge field he's dealing with. He's got
enough signatures. He's going to be on the ballot in November,
along with what looks like to be if all of
them get the signatures they need forty six total council
candidates forty six. Has there ever been a field that big?
(00:58):
You got a whole bunch of different parties to choose from.
You got Republicans, you got Democrats, of course, you got independence,
Christopher Charter, right, Steve Gooden, So let's keep our fingers across.
Steve Gooden and Liz Keaton all get the signature. They
both get the signatures they need, but they're on a
long list about twenty looks like twenty four or five
additional folks who are in the process of gathering signatures
(01:19):
to run for counsel. So popular job, I guess. Fast
forward to eight oh five. We're gonna get money Monday
with Brian James. Got the list of topics. Inflation, alarm
bells went off again, prices rising, just how bad is
it going to get? Retail sales notch another strong month
in July. Wall Street was depending on it. And finally
the rich. I already know how private equity mints money.
(01:40):
It's not all from a four.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Oh one k.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Those are three topics of Brian James. Fast forward one
hour from now, let's go to the phones. I got
Ken on the line. Ken, thanks for calling this Monday morning,
and a happy one to you.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Well, thank you. And what I'd like to say Brian,
is that this Saturday at noon, there will be a
citizen's prayer Cincinnati. We're going to gather on the steps
of City Hall on Central Avenue. It's non denomination. It's
just a prayer gathering asking for God's blessings to bring
(02:11):
our city together. We have a great city, and I
know all things are going seems like haywire, but if
we put it to God first, he will solve our problems.
And we're just asking people, if you can't come out,
just say a prayer for our city, because it's time
for our city to come together and we want God's intervention.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I love the message. I love the message.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Ken.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Is this organized by a particular church or religous organization
or anything, just grassroots prayer effort.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Yes, it's just people that know God and love God,
and we just we're not affiliated with any church or
anything wonderful.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yes, indeed, Well I love the message. It's uplifting, which
is something we certainly need right now. Is thinking about
my conversation last week with a Rick Green of Spirit Works.
He's a spiritual God. And Rick, if you're out there,
show up at the meeting. What time is it? And again,
where can.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
It's going to be?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Noon?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Noone noon on on Saturday at City Hall Steps.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
City Hall Steps. Be there at noon and engage in
some some uplifting positive messages for the city. Since snate, Ken,
thank you so much for calling in and spreading the
word about that. I love the idea. I need a
lot more of that these days five three, seven fifty
eight hundred eighty two three talk or pound five fifty
on eight and t phones uh let us see here. Oh,
(03:32):
in other city related news, I got a message from
West Side Jim Kee for my favorite little bird out there.
He told me this morning, Jim Burns, Remember share Jim
Burns blocked while driving his entry in the Black Family
Union Parade. Two times he got blocked, and according to
Jim Keefer, strictly because he was promoting Republican candidates and
(03:54):
he paid to for a spot in that Black Family
Reunion parade. So I had an FCC non compliant way
of summarizing that type of behavior. But there you have it.
The Black Family Reunion isn't a political event, is it?
(04:16):
You know, going back to this whole idea that you know,
black people vote for Democrats, really, really, you ain't Democrat
if you don't vote for or you you ain't black
if you don't vote for Democrats, utter to Joe Biden. Honestly,
I guess keep going back to the fact that I
consider that insulting, you know, as going back to the
(04:37):
gerrymandering thing I talked about earlier, just because they read
district you does that mean they're guaranteed to have a
Democrat elected? If you're not being served by the Democrat Party,
wh you can they force you to vote for someone? Yeah,
they can redraw your districts. Yes, you could live in
a primarily blue area, but that doesn't mean you have
to vote for a Democrat. Buck the trend. Go a
different route, try a new Patheez Louise. Looking at the
(05:00):
City of Cincinnati race, If again, forty six total candidates,
that they all get this number, if they all get
their five hundred signatures, you got a huge, huge opportunity
to change the dynamic in the direction of the city.
How do you feel about where the city is right now?
Why would we need a prayer vigil on the steps
City Hall steps on Saturday if things were going great.
(05:24):
I appreciate his efforts along those lines. I think it's
a noble thing to do. But yeah, we all feel
like a lot of tension. We feel like crime is
going through the roof. Sarah herringers on the program last
week talking about her husband getting stabbed to death and
over the rhine and all of the crime that she
and Patrick, her late husband had to deal with. Throughout
the eight years they lived and over the Rhine, gunfire
(05:44):
happened so often it just becomes the norm. You don't
even notice it anymore. Her husband had to dive onto
the floor of their home because bullets whizzed by, to
the point where that ex military combat veteran knew exactly
what a close range bullets sound like when it zooms
past your head on the floor. He went Sarah's like,
(06:05):
I didn't really understand what he was doing, because I
slowly got down. My reactions weren't that quick. Every week
the sound of gunfire, you get desensitized to it. Isn't
that a sorry state of affairs? Yes, With changing the
makeup of council and perhaps the mayor's office, change the
(06:27):
dynamic in downtown, maybe you're gonna have to give it
a try, though, to find out if you're very happy
with the current situation, if you think your road looks great,
if you think a resource has been properly allocated, and
I guess, go ahead and continue the norm. But I
don't think most people can really say that. I really don't,
(06:51):
And I wish the city looked better on paper. I
wish the city was you know, a thriving community where
everyone wanted to move in. They'd be great for everybody
in the entire christ State area here. But it's not,
So why not choose a different direction? See what Jay's
(07:11):
got this morning. Jay, thanks for calling this Monday morning,
and a happy one to you.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Hey, good morning, Brian.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Hey, First of all, I want to thank the previous
caller for that uplifting message, because he's absolutely right. If
God's not in it, if it's if we're not moving
towards him, then he's not moving towards us. So I
would would I applaud his message, encourage everybody to support that.
But but the building on what you just said, I
(07:39):
think that Ohio taxpayers are paying the Ohio National Guard
to go down to a city called Washington, d C.
To clean up the crime there. And my question is,
does that mean that we don't have any need for
the National Guard in any Ohio cities? Maybe wanted to
start with c would be a good place to.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Start, Columbus Cleveland at Cincinnati, Well, yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Would think maybe we'd start there before we would start
spending Ohio tax dollars to go clean up Washington, d C.
And if we're gonna go clean up the federal government city.
Can we put hooks in that money to where we
can say, like they always do whenever every time we
get federal money, there's there's you know, there's uh, there's
significant hooks uh the federal government puts in there, Like
(08:29):
maybe we get them to pay for a couple of
stadiums if we send the National Guard down. Are we
just are we just giving it away for free? Maybe
it's part of that three billion dollars Randy Day fund
and the wine us sitting on could be?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Could be? Do you think it's appropriate for the truth
to be sent into Washington d CJ or you you
think that's rather controversial and and and shouldn't be done.
I mean, I I feel as though that Donald Trump
is saving the Democrat d C from itself. I mean,
they're the ones that created a crime problem. They're the
ones that allow crime to run rampant. They're the ones
that have you know, light sentencing and you know, low prosecutions,
(09:02):
and of course that breeds violence. So we should we
just not let them wallow in their own stupidity? Or
is it the right thing to do to send in
the troops to give them some sense of peace, calm,
and security.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
I'm a stickler for what was what's the rule of law,
And when I first heard that he was doing it,
I kind of gee, that doesn't sound exactly right. But
then when I heard it the federal government has jurisdiction
of a Washington, DC.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Yes, Then I.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Said, okay, well then fine, But I don't understand why
states have to send resources. The federal government doesn't have
enough money and people, and they can't hire private security
to go in there. Why did the states have to
send their national guards to go figure out a federal problem.
I thought the federal government was had had plenty of
money and resources to handle it.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Well. One could easily make that argument. Jay, I'm not
quite sure of the number of resources they have in
DC in terms of national guard, but you make a
good point in terms of who's paying for it. Yeah,
and in so far, you know, Donald Trump talked about,
you know, putting them in Chicago and New York and
Los Angeles, and one I don't think he has authority
(10:12):
to do that. But ignoring the law on that, going
back to my point, you know, why would you want
to say these Democrat cities from themselves? And you know,
as they started out the program this morning, everyone who
can has already moved out of those states. It's creating
a terrible landscape moving after twenty thirty in the new
census because those blue states are going to lose representative
(10:32):
slots and they're freaking out about it. But why. It's
because people have fled, businesses have fled. The numbers are
amazing when you see them. They're failing states and failing cities.
(10:54):
Seven fifteen at five KAR see the talk station Christopher Smith,
and I know you're out there. He's going to in
the program after these brief or it's beginning with Foreign
Exchange because I want you to save money. I want
your car fixed properly. That's what Foreign Exchange will do.
Traditionally imported manufactured cars from Asia and Europe along with Tesla's.
You take it to Foreign Exchange, you're gonna get great service,
(11:14):
customer services outstanding. You'll get a full warranty on all
the work they do, both parts and service, and you'll
have a lot more money in your pocket than if
you'd have taken it to the dealership. Don't go to
the dealership to get your car repaired. My personal experience
I've saved thousands of dollars over the years taking my
cars to foreign exchange. My wife and I both own
a German car. We got a Kia now used to
(11:35):
have the Honda. Jerry's running the Honda. Honda has been
a foreign exchange a million times. Well, you know, when
it's got one hundred and sixty some one thousand miles
on a things tend to fall apart. That's why you
have foreign exchange because you don't want to pay as much,
especially if you're on a budget. But regardless, even if
you can afford more, why would you pay more? I
know foreign Exchange west Chester is the one I'm recommended.
(11:56):
That's Tylersville eggs it off of I seventy five, just
had easton Tyler's will hang a right on Kinglym which
is the tiny jog off of the exchange right there online.
You find him at foreign xform theletterax dot com. Tell
them Brian said, Hi, when you call that at Westchester location,
here's the number five one three six four four twenty
six twenty six. That's six four four twenty six twenty six.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
This is fifty five KRC an iHeartRadio station, our iHeart.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Seven almost seven twenty one if the five KERCIT Talk station.
Brian Thomas always happy at this time of week because
we always get to hear from the former vice mayor
of the City of Cincinnati soon to be counselman again,
Christopher Smithman. Welcome back to the program, my friend. Congratulations
on getting the signatures and approval from the Hamilton County
Board of Elections.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
You are on the ballot, yes, but you know it's
not over, Brian, and first of all, thank you, but
it's not over. We're still collecting. And the reason is
we know that their lawyers out there, like your wonderful self,
who might try to challenge challenge our petition.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
And so I would never challenge your petition, Christopherson, not.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
You, not you, sir, Not you. But what happens is
if you come in light, which we are light, what
it does is it leaves an opening for someone to
challenge signatures. And we don't want to leave any doubts.
You know, we're still going to We're still going to
file tomorrow and there are a lot of people out
(13:21):
there who have petitions that will have signed and we'll
be submitting those tomorrow in a very big way. In
a very very big fashion. I can tell you, Brian,
you're very popular and so a lot of people love
you out here. And I'm very very appreciative of the
time that you've given me on your show and the
(13:41):
nice things that you said, and it matters. It mattered
because of just how people were responding to me. So
you are are You're a big shot, buddy, and I
and I thank you for it in a big way.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Well, I have the best listening audience and radio that
people are smart, they're informed, and they keep me on
my toes and sometimes I struggle to stay up with them.
So you're a real I think inspiration to a lot
of folks, Christopher. And you think have great ideas and
you're logical and reasonable and sensible and you call them
as you see them, and I think those are all
wonderful things for a candidate as we approach November. And
(14:15):
of course you're an alternative voice to the lockstep Democrat
voice that we've had for so long. Christopher, I mean,
you've lived through this before. It has to be kind
of frustrating being in a position of like a minority,
not in race minority, but as a political minority.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Yeah, it's key that that city hall, I mean forever,
it doesn't matter. You know what term it is that
you have a diverse political views out of the nine
and so right now, So if a Democrat is listening
to me and you're saying, I want to keep it
all democratic, that is not good for our local government.
You know, we want to have diverse people there because
(14:53):
what it does is creates that check and balance. Yeah,
like we won't end up in a situation where we're
even we're even moving forward to sell our railroad, which
was an absolute devastation to me. What a terrible decision
to put that on the ballot before voters and say,
to sell our entire railroad that we had owned for
hundreds of years and we were bringing in thirty six
(15:15):
or so million and would have been bringing in forty
three or forty five million soon enough. And so this
notion of selling that money that was coming in in
perpetuity was just a terrible decision. All that land three
hundred miles all the way to Tennessee is gone.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
It is, yeah, terrible decision. But you know, honestly, Christopher,
I mean, it's like voting for council members and the
mayor at least the city voted on it that they
were misinformed or ill informed. There was a massive influx
of cash on the part of the railroad to get
that thing through and make it sound like it was
a good idea. There was no financial, financially backed opposition
to that. There wasn't an organized campaign to say vote
(15:52):
no on the sale of the railroad. So, I mean,
most people are not weed dwellers, and they couldn't see
the week through the chaff in terms of the downside
of selling the railroad. They voted for it, you know,
I mean, at least in that.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Particular case, I just have consequence.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
They do. And unlike say Hyde Park getting stabbed in
the back by elected officials in terms of zoning, the
citizens of the Cincinnati went that direction. So they own
that one.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
We definitely own it. And it looks like, you know,
the high park issue will be on the on the
ballot too. And again you know, city council decided not
to follow their own laws and to do a variance
and you know, really just surrender to the developer. You know.
And every person that I spoken too in high parks
(16:38):
they want the development. They don't mind the development. They
just want the height in particular. They don't want it
to change the entire landscape of you know, High Park Square.
Very rational people are on that side. But again, council
didn't listen, you know, and that's the frustration. I think
that communities like Hyde Park have, Bond Hill is going
(17:00):
the same thing. Price Sal is going through the same thing.
You can name the neighborhood, They're all going through it.
So that's a big part of this election and the
reset that people in neighborhoods just want to hear or
know that Counsel is willing to listen to them. But
I will tell you the big issue is crime. I mean,
I don't care where I go, white or black, whatever
(17:22):
neighborhood I'm in, liberal or conservative, they're all saying the
same thing. They don't feel safe. Crime is out of control.
You know, we're talking about the murders and which are horrible,
but we're not talking about the petty stuff. And Counsel
has kind of allowed that to go and it just
ins festered. Meaning somebody breaking into your car in a
(17:45):
neighborhood in their driveway, right, So somebody does that, then
they end up breaking into your house, right, And so
the notion that you know, the members of council have
allowed this, these low level things to go on addressed,
and the judges have just been lettingut has created this
environment where criminals think they're running our city. And if
(18:05):
we do not elect members of council that put this
issue as number one, we will continue to have the
same problems next year. Yep.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
That could be the defining issue in the campaign, Christopher,
and that lends some sense of optimism for me who's
a little jaded and cynical that the city's going to
choose a different path this November. Let's bring Christopher back
at seven twenty six Right now, fifty five kc DE
talk station here. Home deserves the best care. Chimney care,
fireplace and stove is there to provide it since nineteen
eighty eight, locally owned and operated a plus with a

Fifty five KRC excuse at seven thirty Here fifty five
KR City Talk Station Barn Thomas with Christopher smitheman not
(19:40):
too late to get some signatures, so put Christopher to
ensure Christopher's got all the signatures. He needs and avoids
that pesky challenge. Some people may not live in the
city of Cincinnati had sign a petition anyway, So you
need more than just the five hundred. You need a
nice fat little padding there. Christopher. Are you still at
Jim and Jacks throughout the week when they're open because
it's Monday, so they're not open, but tomorrow and up
(20:00):
and through well you have until what the.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
We have until Thursday. We yeah, we plan to finish
this off tomorrow. And I would just say anybody that
has a petition just bring it back to Jim and
Jackson and the owner here will and the owners will
take it in and they'll take care of it. Let
me let me, let me say this to you, Brian
and I and I I know that you care very
(20:27):
deeply about Cincinnati, and I have said that many times. Right,
Oh yeah, this the woman, the woman, Krishanda Wins right.
She was murdered on August to sixth at nine to
fifteen pm in OTR. I had the opportunity to speak
(20:47):
to miss Winn's mother this weekend. Her first name is Ronda,
and the pain in mom's voice is just over the top.
You know, any death is hard, but the death of
a child is.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
The worst cannot imagine.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
So this is a very difficult conversation that I had
with her mom. And she wants one thing, the man
who shot up OTR to be arrested. She supports the police,
she supports the detectives that are working on her daughter's case.
(21:31):
She supports the judges, she supports the prosecution. She said
she wants no negotiation from the prosecution none. She wants
the crime and the penalty to fit. And so this
is a person. When I said twenty shots, eighteen to twenty,
she corrected me and said thirty one shot. Lots of
(21:54):
shots went out and her daughter was shot in the back.
Five children and walking across the street, still light outside
at nine o'clock doing nothing. And so I want to
just make sure I continue to keep Koshonda Win in
the public eye because we now have a suspect. And
(22:18):
so if you're out on your social media and you
see that photo, so one thing you can do, whether
you're white or black, or Latino or Asian, male or female,
is repost that on your page and say we're looking
for this guy. Meaning we can come together as a
community and say we want justice for her and use
(22:41):
social media for good and say that we support our police,
we support this person to be arrested. Here's the other message, Brian.
If we don't catch this guy, the possibility of him
killing again in his lifetime is really high. Anybody that
would stray bullets out there like that in broad daylight
(23:02):
and kill somebody will most likely kill again. And so
this is incredibly important for me in this moment to
raise her up and say we've got to find her.
There's a woman by the name of Pope Dutley. She
is absolutely just an awesome person for victims in our community, mothers,
fathers who have lost loved one. She's a great person
(23:25):
to have on your show. She's very well respected by everyone,
particularly law enforcement. But if we can't catch a guy
that we have a picture of, meaning if the FBI
is listening, we've got a problem. And I just want
to say, if anybody is harboring this guy, arrest them too,
if you're providing any kind of cover, you know what happened,
(23:46):
arrest them to and whoever he was shooting at, because
Mom said he was shooting at somebody, Arrest them to
find everybody involved that played any part in Krishanda Wynn
losing her life at the age of thirty four with
five kids.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Yeah, you know the fact that there was an actual
target and he unloaded thirty one rounds and didn't hit
his target and killed some little girl. I mean, that's
just the horror of that. And again, you talk about
losing a child, I can't imagine. But you mentioned the one.
You talk about the woman who's got so much respect
(24:25):
in the community. She's the ones that circulates the decks
of cards with the open cases on him. She does,
and that's what the Hamilton County Sheriff will not allow
to be circulated in the jail, now, correct, correct, that's
see and that's insane. You know, Christopher, I had her
on the program. I've seen those decks of cards and
you know there's the photograph of the of the victim,
(24:47):
and you know, you're in a criminal population in the jail.
They're the ones that are usually connected with other criminals.
They know the neighborhood and they know who the good
guys and the bad guys are. They're playing cards. They
see that like, oh, I got a tip, maybe it'll
help me get my sentence from I'll drop a dime
on this guy because I know who killed them. That's
a great thing for law enforcement. It's a wonderful tool.
It didn't cost anybody anything. You hand them out, and
(25:07):
she didn't charge anyone. She handed them out for free.
Why wouldn't you let that go on? I don't understand it, Christopher.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
I don't understand it either. And Hope Dudley is a
very honorable person. She's the person that connected me with
Krishanda Wynn's mother. And I don't understand it. I can't
explain it. I can just say that I'll work on
it if I'm elected. I'll work on that, working with
the Sheriff's department, working with the sheriff and trying to
(25:38):
fence her or her administration or whoever's making that decision,
to get those cards into the jail so that we
can continue to solve these cold cases. What Mss Rohnda
Win doesn't want whose daughter was murdered, and she doesn't
want her case to become a cold case, right, and
we know that the further we get out right and
we don't have that arrest, we know that it's a problem.
(26:01):
And by the way, any judge listening, and this is
why the judge races are important, like Judge Burkerwitz, who
I support Judge Burkerwitz. Anybody listening Judge Burkerwitz, you want
to put judges down there that when those cases come
before him or her, that we actually get justice. And
so ms Ronda was saying, meaning, I'm talking about the
(26:23):
mother of the mother of Treshanda wynn Is. She was
seeking justice. It didn't matter whether the judge is black
or the detective is white. The only thing that this
mom wants is the person who murdered their daughter to
be brought to justice. We lose track of that. There
have been so many such conferences that have happened down
at city Hall which are about nonsense, right, meaning each
(26:46):
one of them have basically been about nonsense. But those
press conferences about these victims that have been shot down
in our streets, no matter what the neighborhood, whether it's
Rawned Hills, whether it's Roselin, whether it's OTR, you don't
get that same energy anymore. Where we have a body
down there that's saying we've got we've got to cooperate,
(27:07):
work with our detectives, make sure we hire enough police
so we can get the bottom of this meaning our
cops want to solve these Yeah, it's not like the
cops are sitting on their loins. They want to make
sure that they are doing their job. But they need
the help and cooperation of the community, and they need
the resources which they currently do not have.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Bryan Thomas, let's pause Win Chrysopher back for a few
