ELECTION DAY ANALYSIS with Brian Thomas and Christopher Smitherman

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the greatest political comeback comeback of all time.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
There's ever been two, three, four times. Today regain control.

Speaker 3 (00:07):
Of the country control.

Speaker 4 (00:09):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
That's fifty five KRC the talk station five O five.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Fifty five k r C the talk station. End of
your week for the election results. Wipe you from the
right is a vacation this time to take out the trash.

(00:52):
Sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to figure
out which SoundBite you'd go at. This morning, Happy, very
happy Wednesday, unless for you're a voter in Hamilton County
who leans conservative. But a lot of room to celebrate
today in a happy, happy Wednesday. Tat post election Wednesday
listener lunch Wednesday, feel free to join us at Ron's
ris for what I think will be a celebratory atmosphere

(01:13):
given the national results, the state results here in Ohio,
although again Hamilton County, if last person out bring the flag.
I went full yeah in Hamilton County anyway, I just
completely lost Hamilton County to the left wing of the party. However,
nationally speaking, we're all on the right track and Donald

(01:34):
Trump poised to actually he's declared victor already. Most of
the sites have already declared him the victor. Some sites
still have it pending, but when you look at the
states that have yet to be declared, considering the number
of votes that have been turned in percentage wise, I
think it's a foregone conclusion. It just now becomes a
question of how many additional seats in the Senate, And

(01:57):
of course the balance of the House is still in
sort of a floating territory. Right now. Republicans have already
taken over the Senate, got fifty one confirmed, and as
far as the House goes, looks like right now, two
hundred seats we can Republicans gain two Democrats lost to
and then of course a few more are in play.

(02:18):
But it is leaning toward the Republicans, which means, can
we call this a mandate? Joe, We've got Republican president,
we have a Republican Senate, and if we get a
Republican House, I'd say that's pretty much a mandate, wouldn't you. Well,
I know the larger question is what will they do
with it? Yes, hopefully they'll work better together and play

(02:41):
nicely together, better than they do in Columbus, Ohio. But
and the really, I think one of the neatest thing
about this is the popular vote. And as right now
I'm looking at, Donald Trump was sixty nine seven and
fifty votes, Kamala Harris sixty five. So Donald Trump wins

(03:04):
not only the electoral College vote, but also the popular vote,
which hasn't happened I think since the first Bush administration.
What Joe oh Biden had eighty three million? Yeah, a
lot of people sat this one out on the left
hand side of the ledger. I do believe you're right
on that, Joe. They weren't going to be duped by

(03:24):
Kamala Harris, and they weren't happy with the well. I
think that the woke ideology really played a bigger role
in this than anything. I'm happy to hear from you
five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred, eight
hundred and eighty two three talk pound FI fifty on
eighteen and T phones. Love to hear your reaction to
what's going on. And Issue one you heard top of
the Iron News shot down in flames in Ohio. Thank god.

(03:48):
People need to look right through that saw who Issue
one was back by a bunch of left wingers or
just frankly didn't understand it. It was interesting because I
had that search. Analysts from Ohio State University talking about
that the more difficult the ballot language is, the more
likely people are just going to vote no, because they're
not going to vote to change the status quo when

(04:10):
they can't understand what the measure is all about. And
that's seen to be the case with Ohio Issue one.
It felled fifty four to forty six percent. Bernie Mareno
beat Shared Brown. We have a new senator here in Ohio.
Happy that Bernie Marino took that one, and Republicans now
won all three seats in the high Supreme Court races.
Republicans ie conservative jurists now control the Supreme Court of

(04:35):
Ohio six to one. How about them, apples? And in
other news something that does not shock me. Real quick
here before I go to the funds. Dow Jones industrial
futures are now up eleven hundred and thirty three point

(04:56):
two point seven percent given the given Trump's well winning
the election. S and T futures up two point four percent,
NASDAK up one point eight percent. These are all futures,
mind you, and it could change before the market opens
this morning. But uh, obviously business is happy about a

(05:17):
Trump victory versus well the dictatorial confiscatory taxes and of
course recks a stagnation brought about by the regulatory state
that a Biden I'm sorry, Harris administration would have brought
her out or continued. Uh So let's get some people's
feelings right now. How were going out there if I won?
Three seven, four, nine fifty eight hundred eighty three talk Kevin.

(05:39):
Welcome to the Morning Show, and a very happy Wednesday
to you.

Speaker 5 (05:43):
Good morning, Brian. You discovered all my positive points as
far as the election, and I'm glad you didn't drink
yourself into a stupor of losing to Harris Wells.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
It would have been a set you know, I'm serious, Kevin.
The alarm went off and I went to bed long
before this. You know, nothing had been declared. When I
went to bed, I stayed up to like nine thirty,
which is an hour and a half past my bedtime.
So the alarm goes off and I woke up, and
I'm just staring at the ceiling and going I'm having
a difficult time getting out of bed because the first

(06:19):
thing I'm gonna do is go to my cell phone
and launch you know, some national news site and see
where things are, and so I just like type it
in my pass code, just like embracing myself, like oh god, well,
and then my bubble was slightly burst with us. It did.
My bubble is slightly burst based upon the outcome here
in Hamilton County, which wave, the big red wave, and

(06:43):
the popular vote on top of it. None of the
screen of red electoral college. We need to rotic great
electoral college. Well it didn't work, so good news there.

Speaker 6 (06:53):
Amen.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Amen, brother, Well.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
Let's celebrate today, Kevin, celebrate, we will and enjoy the
victories that we got today. God bless you. Kevin. Appreciate
the call this morning. Let's see what Steve Scott, Steve,
Happy Wednesday to you, walk into the program.

Speaker 7 (07:07):
Good morning. Yeah, I was going to talk about the
stock market. I was conservative yesterday or pulled all.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
My money out in case.

Speaker 7 (07:14):
But I would have been a lot richer today. Well,
but uh, I think I hope somebody would tell Trump
to pay the Biden and not say anything during the administration,
since you got if he gets the house in the
center boat and just start doing stuff, and that is
I would love just any way, they wouldn't keep me

(07:35):
for more than two days to be the person standing
in front of the press and scaring. The first thing
I would do is say, we have buses at the FBI,
the d J, all of them with the local sheriff's
department walking in asking for cases. And if they don't comply,
they go right to the bus to the we're emptying
out of J six and we're going to pull them
up with people that resist the law and uh maybe

(07:58):
in four years to get to see a lawyer. But
they ask for all these cases and tell them anybody
that's any news agency that spread false information about the
COVID shot, it.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
Was all federal funding.

Speaker 7 (08:10):
On top of that, I would they wouldn't keep me
on stage. I got a bunch of ideas, and I
would put the liberals in a frendy. I would freak
them out for months so they would never even look
at Trumpe.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
Yeah, can all.

Speaker 7 (08:23):
Be live, because that's all they do is live. So
I can just go out there and spout stuff and
freak everybody out with the stuff that I say is
going to happen.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Just to see the heads roll.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
We you know, you bring up the press, even obviously
the mainstream, well the vast majority of Americans clearly were
rejected the narrative that they got from the press. They
saw through it. They saw what they were doing to
cover up for Kamala Harris's shortcomings, and they were in myriad.
So does the press recognize this and wake the hell up?

(08:52):
Do the Democrats recognize what happened and move away from
their far far left wing socialist mentality? I mean, this
is go ahead.

Speaker 7 (09:02):
Didn't Obama when he came in took away the law
that said that the government cannot use prop a game
in the news, wasn't he didn't he pull that trick
when he came in here and all it's all been
propagain the sense I will reenact that, And I would like,
I said, gink their money. They spread PROPA game and
lives you're trying to do with free speech? Do a
lie that they are saying. Go against the lies. You know,

(09:23):
I don't want to restrict your freedoms over you know.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
Well, I'm you know, I'm a I'm a huge fan
of the First Amendment, and I consider myselfself smart enough
human being to know when I'm being lied to, Because
of course I do a lot of research and move
around to different news sources and don't rely on just
one but lies and prevarications, generally speaking, bending the truth
and twisting the narrative. That's all free speech. I mean

(09:48):
that is protected. You know it's protected.

Speaker 7 (09:50):
Correct, we shouldn't be paying with our tax money?

Speaker 3 (09:53):
Well, Steve, fill in the blank on what we shouldn't
be paying with our tax money. We could go on. Yeah,
anything's that starts, Steve. And maybe Elon Musk will be
in a position to be the guy who starts going
in and cutting across the board. I'm hoping that he
is in that role. And you know what I'm gonna give.
I really think Elon Musk had a lot to do

(10:15):
with Trump's victory among young people. I mean, the guy
is a really interesting yet very popular He's a weird guy,
but he's a very popular figure. And when you went
over Elon Musk and his brilliance and you promised to
bring promise to bring a guy like that in to
do the necessary work to cut some and some at
least of the government waste out of the system. I

(10:36):
think that's a very appealing thing and it may have
had an impact on it. So we'll see.

Speaker 7 (10:42):
Rachel Mattall wanted the kettle federal funny for me Elon
Musk when Kamala won. So just do that to the
news agency. Just cut their money too.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
Yeah, I like to know how much funny actually goes
to the news agencies. Like I know public broadcasting gets money,
but I don't know that CBS or CNN gets public money.
You have to survive on their advertising dollars, which cloes
back to my point. Are they going to wake up
and realize they have alienated so many people with their
far left wing narrative on literally everything? Now? Well, Dad
answered the question, at least from his heavenly perspectives. Do

(11:12):
you appreciate the call? All the calls are welcome, looking
forward to hearing from you all morning. It would save
me the idea of having to go through a lot
of stuff. But we got a lot of stuff to
go through. Five one, three, seven, fifty two three talk.
I'll be right back to stay here at fifty five
K see de talk station.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
Here.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
It is your nine first morning. Well, the forecasts we
have well morning showers likely this morning was raining when
I was coming in just a little bit. Uh ramill
move east in the afternoon hours. Doesn't matter highest seventy. Today,
it's a rain over night, cloudy, sky is isolated showers
sixty one. Tomorrow morning rain turning partley, cloudy with the
highest sixty nine. Thursday night down to forty eight with

(11:51):
a few clowns. And on Friday it's going to be
a sunny day. I have sixty five right now, sixty
six degrees, fifty five car SEK stations, fifty five krs
the talk station. Joe Drecker has a SoundBite the announcement
from Hamilton County GOP leader Russell Mock. Go ahead, Joe,

(12:13):
play it.

Speaker 7 (12:15):
I'm not much on speeches, but it's so gratifying to
leave you wallowing in the mess you've made.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
You're screwed.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
Thank you bye, and the joy of if we could
only have Joe Strecker and my off air comments actually
on air, Greg Lansman beat the far superior. Orlando Sonza
here in Hamilton County fifty four to forty six, Warren Davidson, congratulations.

(12:45):
Kind of love the folks there in the eighth district
for sixty three thirty seven. A bunch of loves passing
Hamilton County. Almost all, I guess all of them. The
Family Service tax Levy overwhelmingly passed the Amilon County Development Disability.
These tacks of the overwhelmingly passed auditor went to Jessica
Miranda fifty five to forty five over Tom Bridman, a

(13:07):
superior candidate see Clerk of Courts, Pavin Pray Over. Well,
that's obviously, you know, we went solid blue in Hamilton County.
Alicia Reese won over Jonathan Pearson fifty five to forty one.
Ton East Treehouse got or received fifty seven forty over
Adam Taylor, who I really got to know and I
just didn't. I think he's a hell of a good guy.

(13:30):
Connie Pillach over Melissa Powers And see, you know, I
saying that out loud just brings bile over the back
of my throat. It was fifty one forty nine. So
it was the closest race that I can find here
in Hamilton County, at least in so far as Republicans
versus Democrats. Charmie McGuffey fifty six to Jim Neils forty

(13:53):
four for Sheriff Wow Lewis Plessing got this. Of course,
back on the district gate, I could get up. What
was that Joe barely Hey you know what I'll take barely.
I'll take Ron's call to Ron, thanks for calling this

(14:15):
morning and a pretty much happy Wednesday.

Speaker 8 (14:17):
Yeah, yeah, except for the Hamilton County. It's all blue now.
And of course you you said that we still had
the same way, they still had the same sheriff, and
I went, damn, you know, it's sad, but yeah, watching
my son Brian was calling me about every fifteen minutes.

(14:39):
You were talking about what's going on TV and stuff.
He goes, my god, Trump's kicking the butts, you know.
And we were talking and had a phone call from
a friend in Detroit and she was saying, I guess
I hear your five bucks. You said that Trump was
going to win, and he is up so far, you know, right,

(15:02):
don't have a don't know if I'll get a chance
to get down to lunch today or not.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
Just going to ask you that, Ron, if you were
going to be able to make it the listener lunch today.

Speaker 9 (15:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (15:10):
I got a doctor's appointment though. Suddenly, you know, you
get one of those last minute calls, you know, got
it won yesterday and said they had to be a
doctor's off at a certain time. It's like ye I'll
be there at a certain time. I'll still wait forty
five minutes on line before get back to seeing you.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
Yes, but your health comes first, Ron, I would never
suggest you you ditch a doctor's appointment a favorite listener lunch.
Much in the same way people who said I'd love
to come to listener lunch, but I have to work.
I was telling him, well, you made the right decision,
so you regularly, you regularly make it. Maybe we'll catch
you at listener lunch in December, so or anything, or

(15:49):
I believe it's price hell chilli if I recall, stick
back over on the West side for that one. But
I'll double check on that. But we got a month
to stew over it. Thanks Ron, always a pleasure to
hearing from you. Tell Brian we all said hi and
thanks for his service. Fifty five care City Talk Station
five eight hund eight two three talks. You go ahead

(16:11):
and take that one. Joe got time, Kevin whoop?

Speaker 2 (16:14):
They hung up.

Speaker 3 (16:16):
Kevin didn't want to talk to me. Well, and the
the the memes are everywhere this morning, and I think
the most popular meme that I have seen, the most
recurrent meme, and I get a kick out of them,
America unburdens itself from what has been obviously going back

(16:41):
to Kamala Harris, Oh, and I guess those the suitets
are going to be packed up today as a consequence
of adult college students being incapable of dealing with the
political realities of the world and suffering from anxiety. Universities Georgetown,
for example, puge Sound, among others, setting up what they

(17:02):
call self care suites to help students manage stress post election.
Georgetown mc Court School Public Policy students can escape political
chatter with activities like building legos, coloring, and sipping hot
chocolate in a designated calm space. You know, I know,

(17:26):
suck it up, Buttercup, grow up. You're an adult playing
with legos five twenty five If I five causly tuckstations,
maybe I don't know, but I'm feeling much better about
the country's direction since Donald Trump won the popular vote
and the presidency, and we have a whole lot more
in terms of races and issues to talk about the aftermath.

(17:49):
What do you think? Feel free to call love to
hear from you, stick around and be right back with
local stories.

Speaker 10 (17:54):
Fifty five KRC.

Speaker 3 (17:56):
I'm Julie here's your nine first oneing weather forecast. Got
showers this morning, and I have seventy suggests that showers
will move out at some point today anyway, Overnight low
is sixty one with isolated showers. Mars high sixty nine
with some morning rain, otherwise partly blotty. Overnight lowell forty

(18:17):
eight with a few clowns. And on Friday, mostly sunny
day with a highest sixty five sixty five degrees. Right
now for the five karrosee dalk station.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Don't vote Democrat Tom good job.

Speaker 3 (18:31):
I hope Tom's doing all right, and I hope you're
doing all right today too, pretty much in the celebratory move,
with the exception of the bubble being bursed here in
Hamilton County, Ohio. Otherwise bright red, congratulations Bernie Marino, congratulations
six to one on the Supreme Court with Conservative taking
all three seats that were open. And congratulations of Warren Davidson.

(18:53):
Solid they are in the eighth district, so beyond that,
and someone it suggests that well, maybe could appoint the
Orlando Sonza to JD Vance's seat, and of course that's
probably not going to happen. According to sources close to
Mike DeWine at least on I suppose it was last Wednesday,

(19:15):
or is this this morning? I guess today? Yeah, jd
Vance now elected Vice president the Wine leaning toward appointing
longtime friend and state Senator Matt Dolan to fill his
Senate seat. So yeah. Joe Strecker's response, Dear God, I know,
well's vote Democrat. Yeah, well, or you know, don't vote Rhino.

(19:40):
There in lies the challenge with our current governor here
in the state of Ohile. So you'll have an opportunity
down the road to solve that problem. So back over
to local stories here, moving away from politics at least momentarily,
because we've been talking about it all morning, and at
least in terms of voting. Local story related, we go
to a Hea Heburn, my friends and he and Kentucky

(20:03):
men arrested at polling place yesterday and Hebron for what
they described as disorderly and disruptive behavior toward voters. Boone
County Sheriff's office said the poll workers report of the
man just after one pian at the Hebron polling station
and thorn Wild Elementary deputies got there discover the man
who was being disruptive, happened to also be intoxicated at

(20:23):
a plastic water bottle filled with vodkn in that that
he's found the man attempting to fill out his ballot
before he tried leaving the polling station with the ballot,
which is illegal, Sheriff's office said. The man told deputies
he was upset and didn't think he would cast his ballot.
Sheriff's officeaid the man was first upset that he was

(20:44):
asked to verify his address and only gave poll workers
a po box. After the workers calmed him down, the
man began yelling, let's vote in line and was further disruptive,
according to the report from the Sheriff's office. Been charged with
disorderly con unducked alcohol, intoxication in a public place, and
removing slash, tampering with a ballot, piling on poor Frishes

(21:10):
and many of us are out here lamenting the demise
and soon to be banker of Frishes. So after several
Frishes Big Boy locations forced to close amid evictions, FC
Cincinnati filed a lawsuit against Frish's, claiming it owes over
one hundred and fifty grand for an unpaid sponsorship contract

(21:33):
lawsuit fil October thirty one, Hamilton County. The two parties
entered into his sponsorship agreement December last year. Since then,
Frish's has not paid a dime. That's according the lawsuit.
Sponsorship agreement dictated the Frishes with PAFC one hundred and
fifty grand in five monthly installments starting June one this year.
After that, they were supposed to pay thirty thousand per

(21:53):
installment on the first of every month after June all
the way through October first. Fish Is also allegedly agreed
to pay two thousand dollars to FC Cincinnati Trade and
additional forty five hundred for each MLS playoff game played
at TQL Stadium. So it says well when Fishes didn't
pay in June, July, August, or September, FC Cinthonty sent

(22:16):
a restaurant a demand letter asking for the full balance
of one hundred and twenty grand and the October bill
for thirty total one hundred and fifties. Fishes didn't respond
ergo They're now in further litigation, So poor Fishes. I
guess f C Cincinnati probably has a valid argument, but

(22:36):
I still feel like they're being kicked when they're down.
Let's see here over to other local stories here in
the Hamilton County area, anyway, one are the more depressing realities.
Greg Lamsman be Orlandos Sons, as I pointed out, congratulations
again to Warren Davidson and a lot of the tax
levies sadly okay, Moving over to prosecutors race Yes, Connie

(28:05):
holding and welcome to the program.

Speaker 12 (28:08):
Good morning, Brian. Yeah, I gave up at twelve thirty
this morning, got up at three point thirty, and that's
the first thing I did was turn off the TV.
The h they're going to screw the vote in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin.
Uh So I didn't go to bed with her, went
to bed with a fairly easy feeling, but just kind

(28:29):
of wondering if the same thing that's going to happen
is the last election where they were trying to manipulate
the vote count. Also, I just listened to the results
that you gave out for Hamilton County, and I've spoken
with you a few times, and I moved out to

(28:49):
Union County earlier this year, and it's amazing the soybeans
and cornfields did not ask for any tax levy. He
voted for we had not. So I'm so glad that
I got out of m O County and unfortunately I
grew up there, and unfortunately, I think within five years

(29:11):
can draw big certain around Cincinnati and you won't recognize
about the suburbs that are there now. It's just a
sad statement the people that, as you pointed out during
this campaigning season, that the strong characters of Melissa Powers
and Sonza and some of the others that I and

(29:35):
even for the race of sheriff, it's just amazing to
me that people cannot just identify or go get past
their party affiliation for the betterment of their community or
as the country as a whole. In some cases, some
of the coverage last night, Box I watched boxes. I

(29:59):
don't know the guys back around. His name's Harold Ford,
so that he's liberal obviously as a Democrat, and they
had somebody else on there, and he kept talking about
his party. You know, my party, this, our party, this,
we we need this. But at no time did he
acknowledge anything that was better for the country as a whole.
And and it's amazing to me that Kamala Harris, who

(30:24):
is an empty vessel even airhead, got as many votes
as she actually did, and people that are that came
home for her, so to speak, they really need to
look inside, look at themselves, because there was nothing there
that even was remotely qualifying. So I'm glad it went

(30:50):
the way that it did.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
I am too. And you know what, and even more,
I take even more comfort the fact that the popular
vote Donald Trump on the popular vote by north of
four million. So we're not going to hear the yelling
and gnashing the teeth with a bunch of Democrats screaming
about how the electoral college needs to get thrown out
in favorable popular vote.

Speaker 12 (31:08):
Absolutely I saw that last night, and that's one of
the things I kept saying attention to. And but yeah,
so anyway, hopefully things move forward and they take this
opportunity to try to build upon this. These people that
are coming.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
Over to the Republican Party. Yes, and once and for
all show the.

Speaker 12 (31:34):
Differences between the socialists and some of the dinosaurs Nancy Pelosi, Schumer, McConnell.
Hopefully some of these dinosaurs now understand we're tired of them,
go go away, and I will include some of the Republicans,
a lot of the Republicans and that as well enough

(31:54):
enough if you guys need to go. So that's my
two cents this morning. So thank you for all of
your help and trying to explain things to people and
get people to think past their nose. But unfortunately in
Hanlemon County that seems not to be the case.

Speaker 3 (32:14):
Yes, I feel sorry for counting sadly so. And my
wife even said she wants to move now. So that
speaks volumes right there in wonder there's any room up
by you market Union Township. Thanks to the call my
friend five forty six or fifty five krs of the
talk station, I got a great idea. If you need
a plumber, you just call plumb type plumbing. It's always
plumbing done right from the northern Kentucky region all the

(32:36):
way to dating and everything in between. My Plumb Type
Plumbing friends are absolutely outstanding on what they do. Of course,
they're license and it's a completely different kind of plumbing company.
They pride themselves on their professionalism, their customer service, being

fair and ethical pricing, never trying to say something you
do not need. Call them up. They'll assess your plumbing

(32:58):
situation after establish wishing, the customer service at the greeting,
at the door, and the communication. Check it out. They'll
quote you a great price and the plumbing will be
done right. Confidently call them. They did. They've never let
me down. And in emergencies, twenty four hour days, seven
a week emergency service they have that at Plum Type Plumbing.
So I've the last appointment I've I mentioned, I usually

(33:21):
schedule when I call them up, but I did it

So you know that's that's these volumes right there in
terms of the communication. So emergency services, you got nothing
to worry about. Plumb type, Well, you never everything to
worry about when you're calling my friends at plum Type Plumbing.

(33:42):
That's why they enjoyed a plus with the BBB Plumbing
Done Right five on three seven two seven tights t

four eighty three. Visit them online at plumtight dot com.

Speaker 10 (33:54):
Fifty five KRC. Really, look what happened?

Speaker 1 (33:57):
This is the greatest political comment comeback of all time.

Speaker 13 (34:01):
There's ever been two three four times today fifty five
KRC in the talk station.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
Six four at fifty five Karri CD talk station. Brian
Thomas right here wishing everyone in a very happy post
election day and quite the celebratory mood here on the
fifty five KRC Morning showt Donald Trump clearing away the
overall winner, not only winning the electoral College, but the
popular vote. Republicans have taken back the Senate and on
their way to probably taking back the House. Already had

(34:30):
a couple of seats on that still some pending outcomes,
and I am happy to announce in studio, maybe hanging
out here for a couple hours talking to folks, taking
phone calls and participating in the discussion. Christopher smitham and
former vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati. Thanks for
coming in. Man, it's great seeing you Ryan. Thanks for
having me. How you feeling this morning?

Speaker 2 (34:49):
Wow?

Speaker 14 (34:50):
I know as a political junkie, you know, even coming
in seeing that MSNBC, places like CNN, ABC had not
even called the election. And so if you're listening, like
if people are waking up right now looking at their TVs,
you know, they are major news outlets that still as
you and I sit here having said that, you know,

(35:12):
former President Donald Trump is Trump, you know, is a
president elect forty seven.

Speaker 3 (35:17):
But he is he is, he is.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
That is reality.

Speaker 3 (35:20):
Well, and you know I agree with you. I look
at CNN and I look at you know, it's interesting Politico,
which I would call a very left leaning online mag
online news dump outlet, and uh, they've got Trump with
two seventy seven. And you know, if you look at
somebody else's map, it's you know, still again not quite

(35:42):
over the victory margin. But the states that are still
sort of kind of in play, Nevada, Arizona, for example,
the numbers are leaning Trump pretty decently, Like, for example,
Arizona fifty one point nine or fifty two percent to
Harris's forty seven percent. Sixty percent of the vote in
on that one in Nevada, which hasn't been formally called yet,

(36:03):
still leaning Trump at fifty one point five to Harris's
forty six eight. So those look like a lock for
Trump and even Michigan. And this doesn't shock me at
all that that Michigan would be going with Trump, given
all the auto workers there on the Harris administration would
have eradicated their jobs fifty point one percent to Harris's
forty eight point one. And that's with ninety five percent

(36:25):
of the vote tallied, So only a few remaining states
to solidify it. But most every place, sanely and wisely
and properly have already called Trump the winner. And of
course the Republicans have already win the Senate. We've already
got fifty one up of senators, a couple of still outstanding.
It's just the House we're waiting around for, but leaning Republicans.

(36:47):
So this would be a quick, clean, sweet Christopher clean sweep.

Speaker 14 (36:50):
I'm sitting back this morning thinking about all the posters
who have been telling us over the last call it
thirty days that this was going be a very very
close race. Bryan that the pathway like Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania,

(37:12):
these states were going to be very close, almost impossible,
the blue wall, as they described it. They talked about
Iowa in the last forty eight hours that Iowa was
the thermometer for me as a financial planner. Was the
Dow or the Russell in Iowa? And I'm glad you
brought that up.

Speaker 3 (37:32):
Fifty six point three Trump Harris forty two point three.
So much for your Iowa poll. There you have it,
There you have it.

Speaker 14 (37:41):
And they said, these were the greatest minds, the greatest posters.
They're never wrong, and every one of them were wrong.
And it shows you just how biased they all were
going into the election. The questions that they were asking
who they were polling, why they couldn't extract that there
was this silent vote out there. I'm gonna talk a
little bit about that from my perspective, But they.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
All were wrong. There wasn't.

Speaker 14 (38:04):
There's not one person, no poster that we heard that
came out and said, man that when we wake up,
they're gonna be fifty almost fifty red dots on a map.

Speaker 3 (38:15):
I'll tell you what. Let's pause because We're you're gonna
be around for a while here this morning. Got a
couple of callers online. CJ's been on hold for a while.
Let's take CJ's call. You can hear that as well. CJ.
Welcome to the Morning Show. Thanks for holding my friend.

Speaker 12 (38:27):
Oh thank you.

Speaker 15 (38:28):
And it is a beautiful, rainy morning. And you were
just talking about the polls. And I was thinking about
something this morning.

Speaker 3 (38:36):
And what did the polls miss?

Speaker 12 (38:38):
I think it's two things.

Speaker 15 (38:39):
Number One, Democrats way over played the abortion hand. On Sunday,
all I watched was Shared Brown, pro abortion commercial after
pro abortion commercial after pro abortion commercial after pro abortion commercial.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
And that was just about it.

Speaker 15 (38:56):
And I think it drove a lot of people out,
and it even probably took some people who were pro
Shared that couldn't vote for Bernie and they voted for
the libertarian number one. Number two, there are ten million
people like me around the country who have moved from California, New.

Speaker 16 (39:12):
York, Illinois, and all.

Speaker 15 (39:14):
Of us probably are not the biggest Donald Trump fans.
A lot of us probably have never voted for Donald Trump.
But in this election, when Kamala Harris was on the ballot,
we sat there and looked at that ballot and said,
I cannot do to this country what democrats have done
to our home states, of our families and forced us

(39:35):
into a forced migration out of this country, out of
our states and our homes, and that we love where
we're at, but we're still a little.

Speaker 12 (39:43):
Upset and we do not want to bring that to
the country.

Speaker 3 (39:48):
CJ. Good hearing from the excellent comments, and just to
help you, maybe you have a different perception on California
Proposition thirty six, which was the ballot amendment that would
roll back the Proposition forty seven, so called criminal justice reform.
It passed. The anti crime proposition passed in California fifty

(40:08):
six percent of the precincts reporting seventy percent of the
voters said yes to Prop thirty six twenty nine percent. Now,
so they the residents of the state of California, know
what's good for them as opposed to what their elected
officials thought was good for them or what they previously
vote on in connection with this so called criminal reform.

(40:30):
Let's get Bill's call for we move on. Bill, thanks
for calling this morning. Happy Wednesday to you.

Speaker 7 (40:35):
Yeah, I'm a little.

Speaker 17 (40:36):
Bit giddy this morning, but so as bad as I
hate CNN, I couldn't resist turning them on this morning.
And so it reminds me that this is like you
get up from and look back at the toilet bowl
and pull the lever and watch the extrement swirl down.
But how did we do on Senate and House races?

(41:00):
So focused on the presidential results?

Speaker 6 (41:05):
How did we do?

Speaker 17 (41:06):
I've not dug into that yet this morning.

Speaker 7 (41:08):
Can you kind of cut me on that one.

Speaker 3 (41:10):
As of right now, it's been officially called Republicans have
fifty one seats to Democrats forty two, and again there's
a few left in play that have yet to be decided,
although you can count on the Republicans winning the Senate,
so we got that to look forward to. And in
so far as the House is concerned, as of right now,

(41:31):
it looks two hundred Republicans they've gained two Democrats are
right now at one eighty eight they've lost to and
so again a handful that have yet to be decided
in some of the where the votes are still rolling in,
but leaning Republican, that would be a clean sweep, and
I think we all like to call that a mandate.

(41:53):
So rest assured It's going to be a different world
here moving forward from today. A question is what Donald Trump,
jd Vance and crew decide to do. And I really
truly hope, Christopher offer thanks to the call off of
your comments on this. I don't want to hear any gloating.
I don't want to hear any I told you so.

(42:14):
I don't want to hear any of this. Just you know,
let's get down to business, Christopher.

Speaker 18 (42:23):
No.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
I agree. I think what President elect.

Speaker 14 (42:27):
Trump says over the next twenty four hours is critical.
He has to talk about unifying the country. His rhetoric
has to be one of unification. Like right now, I'm
not looking for him to ask the question about why
Vice President Harris has not conceded the election. She's licking

(42:50):
her wound somewhere and she's going to have to come
out soon enough, and he's going to have to certify
the election. Christopher, She's going to have to certify the election.
She's gonna have to be there on January the twentieth.
I just get done saying, don't gloat, but I'm sorry,
I do. Take a little bit of joy.

Speaker 3 (43:09):
There's joy, joyful Kylaris go to certified Donald Trump.

Speaker 14 (43:14):
And So this is the time for you know, President elect,
Vice President JD. Vance and everybody around them to make
sure that they're talking about how they pull together an
administration and move the country forward. Because clearly, I'm gonna
build off what CJ said. They spend a half a

(43:37):
billion dollars on abortion, half a billion dollars. And I
tell you, as I spoke to voters yesterday, I heard
over and over and over again, I'm a Democrat, but
the Democratic Party has left me. I didn't leave the
Democratic Party. The Democratic Party has left me out there

(43:57):
there talking about transgender people swimming in pools with my granddaughter.

Speaker 3 (44:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (44:05):
Now, I'm telling you that the people will say this
to me. They say, I support the LGBTQ plus community.
That's different, That's totally different. They know you saying I
want a transgender person in the locker room with my
daughter or.

Speaker 3 (44:20):
Competing against your daughter. You know, come on, man, you know,
and they say, you know, misogyny. And you know, a
lot of black men went Republican. This I saw. I
showed you the headline on that. He really Trump really
made some inroads on that. And I would think and
even the hispanicly these same thing big inroads in the
Hispanic community, and it's something I've been talking about for

(44:42):
years now. Those are I mean, traditionalist minded people insofar
as gender is concerned. Now again we can all be
accepting that everyone gets to choose in this country the
direction they want, whoever they want to sleep with. I
personally have really never cared if it's behind the bedroom door,
man whatever. As long as it's consenting adults, and I

(45:05):
underscore the word adult, then go ahead. This is the
world we live in. But insofar as my right to
decide what is appropriate, I don't want a bunch of
Johnson's hanging out in the in the girls locker room.
I have a daughter. I would have just I don't.
I would have been beside myself if she was, you know,
an eight year old, nine year old and had to
face that reality, I'd have been freaked out. And I

(45:27):
think a lot of people felt the same way. It
was a bridge too far, bridge too far.

Speaker 14 (45:32):
And I think what we're gonna find I'm not this
brilliant poster out here who was paid millions and millions
of dollars to be wrong, But I think what we're
gonna find out is income people who do not have
a college education, who get up every day make eighty
ninety one hundred and fifty thousand hundred with overtime. Middle

(45:54):
class America said the Democratic Party left them.

Speaker 2 (45:58):
They did not leave the Democratic Party.

Speaker 14 (45:59):
And whether they're black or white or Latino, they voted
their pocketbook.

Speaker 2 (46:05):
They didn't vote the wedge issue of abortion.

Speaker 3 (46:09):
And that was all we heard from the Democrats on
a federal level. It was a dumb argument to make anyway,
because not a damn thing the federal government can do
anymore after the Dobbs decision, So move that aside. It's
still really all they ran on. Kamala Harris didn't really
run on anything, nothing, just this joy thing that didn't

(46:30):
seem to last very long, pivoting over to calling people
garbage and Nazis. You can't win on that kind of negativity.
Six sixteen more with Christopher Smith, and your phone calls
are welcome. Chris and I be happy here. Christopher and
I will be happy to take five one, three, seven, four, nine,
fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three talk.
Schedule yourself at a pointment the Chimneycare fireplace and stove.
Keep pressing the issue of safety. As fireplace season fast approaches,

(46:53):
you're going to want to enjoy that comfort. Make sure
you can do it with peace of mind. Safety is
key when it comes to fireplaces, free standing stove, self feeding,
wood waste pellet stoves, any of the above. They have
to vent properly. You got to worry about carbon monoxide.
And I always like to put a plug in for
you getting yourself a carbon monoxide detector. It's a low
price investment in your life. Your entire family's life should

(47:15):
be care fireplace in stove a plus with the better
business career literally does everything, sweeping, re lining, captain damper replacement, servicing.
Gas fireplaces needs service and inspection as well. And thank
god I called them because that's how I well probably
kept my house. I'm getting burned down. Don't use it, Brian,
it's dangerous that out went the old in went the

(47:35):
beautiful new fireplace insert. I just love that thing. And
they can install one of those for you, so why
not do it now? Call them for an employment. You
should and get your dryer vent cleaned out. If you
can't remember the last time that's happened, it's clogged. It's
costing you too. Much money to dry your clothes, and
that also is a hazard as well. Clogged dryer events.
They clean those out five one three two four eight

Speaker 11 (48:41):
Called the University of Cincinnati Cancer Center at five to

five eight four long North found seventy one blocked off
at Pfeiffer due to an accident at two seventy five,
although just within the last couple of minutes I've started
to see a little bit of traffic move through the
area east and west two seventy five s ramps are
still blocked at seventy one.

Speaker 3 (49:09):
Coming up in six twenty two fifty five Karsite talks
station five one three seven fifty five hundred eight hundred
eight two three talk listener lunch. We will be in
a mostly celebratory mood this morning or today listener lunch.
Ron's or is if you can make it in studio,
spending a couple hours talking about politics. Christopher Smitheman and
former vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati, and mister
smither vent every Monday here in the morning show. Christopher,

(49:31):
you being a financial planner at your job, that's what
you do. Do you notice the futures this morning? Dow
Jones industrial futures up twelve hundred basically almost three percent,
s and P up two and a half, NASDAC up
almost one point nine on the victory.

Speaker 14 (49:50):
It's something that we haven't seen like in my lifetime.
Maybe one other time I've seen the seen the futures
up up this strong.

Speaker 3 (50:00):
In the aftermath of a presidential election.

Speaker 14 (50:02):
I'm talking about anytime. Oh wow, I'm I'm talking about anytime.
This is what's happening right now is historic because what
you're seeing is this this relief. This is my speculation
that you know, this unrealized capital gain discussion of twenty
percent is off the table. People are their houses where
you know, Vice President Harrison, if you've got a five

(50:25):
hundred thousand dollars house, you know you're gonna owe me
one hundred thousand dollars whether you sell the house or not.
And that includes on people's portfolios or long term capital gains.

Speaker 2 (50:34):
Aren't going to twenty eight percent. They might even be
going lower.

Speaker 14 (50:38):
They might, you know, President elect might bring us from
twenty eight to eighteen.

Speaker 2 (50:44):
He's talking about this stuff right now.

Speaker 14 (50:46):
So people we think about where the oil industry right now,
because he's saying, drill, baby, drill, the Alaska pipeline, you know,
fourteen fifteen thousand jobs. He's saying, I'm going to bring
those things back online. So you have this market that's
saying we've been lied to, meaning we thought this race
was going to be close all this trillions of dollars

(51:08):
that are on the sideline saying the world is coming
to an end, and now they're all diving in all
at the same time.

Speaker 3 (51:16):
Yeah, so you expect energy socks, for example, will be
a great thing that you know, if you had money
in it yesterday or the day before, maybe a little
late this morning to get money in it. But yeah,
the opportunity for them to grow and for us to
have you know, greater actress access to a broader spectrum
of energy production is going to be great for our country.
It'll be stabilizing, it'll give us a leg up in

(51:39):
terms of, you know, relative to all the other countries
in the world. And maybe maybe and you know, I
can dream this morning along the lines of what the
Trump administration might do, and I don't know how full
on against the whole green agenda they're going to be.
If they'll take a baby step approach and pair it back,
or that this be full on let's just not even
fund it anymore. But my hope is truly that they

(52:02):
really back off in large measure on that nonsense, because honestly,
I think it's the biggest global scam ever perpetrated on mankind.

Speaker 14 (52:11):
But what we've seen over the last four years is
these are just facts. A lot of regulation on our economy,
and what I think the futures are saying is those
regulations are leaving and the people who've been propagating it.
Meaning what you're going to see over the next week
or two oh house cleaning, resignations, DOJ resignation, DHS resignation,

(52:36):
IRS resignation, FBI resignation, Secret Service. I mean, you're going
to see people tendering their resignations in such a big
way because they know on January twentieth they won't have
a job.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
They're gonna do it. They're gonna do it.

Speaker 3 (52:51):
Now, although we re design now and then the move
to countries that don't have an extradition agreement with the
United States. More with Christopher Smithman and you free to call.
Don't hesitate to call just because Christopher and I are
here having fun with the outcomes. Maybe you got a
different perspective, Maybe there's a specific race you want to
talk about. Well, as long as it's not anything in
Hamilton County apparently, But I'll be right back after quick.

(53:13):

spending some time talking about the aftermath and what might
be Christopher Smithman, former vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati.
And we always love phone calls here, at least I

(55:30):
always love phone calls on the Morning Show, particularly when
they come from What's SAYI, Jim, mister Chuck, commander, welcome
back and it's good to hear from me. Am. I
going to see you at Ron's Rus today for a
listener lunch. Jim.

Speaker 18 (55:44):
Yeah, if I can get the shoe off of my
butt that we got kicked locally last night.

Speaker 3 (55:49):
Yeah, I know. I don't want to talk about local.

Speaker 12 (55:54):
Different subjects for a different day, but I want to
talk about the houses that we have.

Speaker 18 (56:00):
You know, back in when Bush had all three and
then when Obama had all three, you know, Obama got
Obama care put through.

Speaker 12 (56:07):
That's basically all he did.

Speaker 3 (56:09):
You know that what he had all three.

Speaker 18 (56:10):
Houses, and Bush they just sat back for two years
and gloated about the fact that hey, we won, we
got everything going. They didn't do a damn thing. I hope,
and I think I know better. With Trump, he goes
hallwild and goes nuts about the fact of getting things
done the first two years, and I don't think he's
going to sit back and gloat and say, hey, you

(56:32):
know I won, you didn't kind of a thing. I think,
you know what you guys are been talking about. By
the way, good morning, Christopher.

Speaker 2 (56:41):
Good morning, Good morning.

Speaker 3 (56:43):
I think with.

Speaker 18 (56:44):
Oil thrilling and everything else, I think we're going to
see a big, big change in this country that we
wouldn't have seen if Harris would have won, because the
House would have been split, and there's just no way.

Speaker 3 (56:58):
That anything would have got done. I think right.

Speaker 18 (57:01):
Now, with or with Bush, it was a long night Trump.
Which is with Trump having all three, I think it's
going to go crazy. I think we've got some really
good people in there that are business minded, and I
think that's really going to.

Speaker 3 (57:18):
Take off well. And since the Republicans now control the Senate,
we're not going to have to deal with Mitch McConnell
anymore either. Oh that's great, isn't it.

Speaker 20 (57:27):
Oh my god?

Speaker 3 (57:28):
So he's out.

Speaker 18 (57:31):
Just just standing there, and I know I'm not going
to pick on him for his his mental problems. So
he's got going on right now, because that's a shame
that just comes with age. That's why we need a
term limit. Somewhere along the line. But anyway, I just
wanted to point the point of making it that they
they need this, they need to step up, they need

(57:51):
to get something done, because we've got a real good
chance here for the Republican Party in the future of
gaining a lot of seats, because we can show the
American people that the Republican Party can do something once
they own all three.

Speaker 3 (58:05):
Well, I agree with you. The opportunity is right there
in front of them. It's only the Republicans to waste.
And they better get in the back room, sit down
and look each other square in the face, and remind
themselves that this should not turn into something like we've
got here in Columbus, in the state of Ohio, we
don't need to have to herd cats among our own

(58:26):
party members. Let's get on board. Let's start with the
top five absolute priorities or something along those lines. Let's
get some legislation in front of us, like bring back
the border security bill that the Republicans passed previously. Now
it'll least advance in the Senate. We'll see whether or
not it passes. But you know what, with Democrats feel
in the sting and recognizing that immigration was one of

(58:48):
the reasons they lost. Maybe maybe an immigration reform bill
that had some actual teeth like the ones the Republicans
passed in the House previously, maybe it could pass in
spite of the filibuster. I want to have to get
rid of the filibuster to have that happen. And it
shouldn't have to happen if the Republicans wake up and
realize what they are facing and what they got.

Speaker 18 (59:09):
I mean, they should really wake up and see what
they've got going and what they can do, because people
will follow this in the future. But you know what,
January twenty, first, start building that wall, I mean, go
crazy on that wall. And then of course dig drill, drill,
baby drill. I want to see productivity by the Republicans

(59:30):
to get things done.

Speaker 3 (59:31):
Joe Dreker just chimed in bring back the Keystone pipeline.
We can do that too, Jim exactly, chin up. I know.
The Hamilton County just it's like bring the last person,
bring the flag out when you come beyond that. Lots
of reasons to celebrate, and I am very much looking

That's why she called Susette Low's Camp listen to dad's advice,

(01:00:38):
and she had financing locked in. I think it was
only a couple of days they had been dealing with
the bank, and you know what it was like. I

don't seem to be real. Hurry, my daughter in a hurry,

Sixty one I fifty five kercite talk station. A very
happy post election Wednesday, heaving Fuham, my dear friend, our
dear friend, remember the community Christopher Smith and former vice
man in the city Sincenai, sitting in studio talking politics
and uh uh we were talking about the the the
the upcoming house cleaning that we expect here and the

(01:02:58):
federal government. Now that we have Trump. Oh and parenthetically
all of the mainstream left wing outlets have now officially
called it. There is no longer any question mark MSNBC
when they declared Trump has won, and you know full
well got a little pivot over in the House. Currently
Republicans two to three to Democrats one two five flip

(01:03:19):
Republican Senate now one up at fifty two Republicans in
the Senate to the Democrats current forty two. A couple
of races still on play there, and of course a
couple of states still waiting for the final votes to
come in. But Donald Trump has won not only the
popular vote, but also of course the electoral college vote,
disappointing so many Democrats who'd love to get rid of

(01:03:41):
the electoral college. He won by more than four million
votes nationally, and you know those national polls. We always
talk about polls and joke about him and have question
mark floating around about him. The national polls were always
a little bit heavy for Harris, just to nationally she
he's ahead two points. So let's go to the phones

(01:04:01):
real quick here five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty
five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three talk.
Will you be at listener lunch day? At Ron's rused cribbage,
Mike my submarine or.

Speaker 21 (01:04:11):
Friend Brian, you know, And I figured this is perfect timing.
So at least this month, the next month listener lunch
being in Hamilton County, Molissa Powers will still be looking
out for so who knows what our next return will be.

Speaker 3 (01:04:24):
But I know is that the most disappointing thing. You know,
I would love to be in just an absolutely overwhelmingly
gleeful mood or joyous mood this morning. The only thing
that's tempering that is, you know, you just bring the
flag out. Hamilton County has just gone full on dark blue.

Speaker 21 (01:04:43):
You know, it's tough to take even any solace, and
that that was only a two point loss. But as
you and Christopher have said already this morning, just the
quality of people, you know, it wasn't a matter di
versus are just the quality of people, and people just
finally need to look pay off that. Hopefully maybe in
the next four years that will go down too far
as they can see the error other ways. But in

(01:05:03):
that light, I would like to roll out the red carpet.
Now you can't come across of course, Big MacBridge. Roll
out the red carpet on Columbia Parkway for any Hamilton
County residents that would like to visit Ruby Red Claremont County,
because you know, it's just a shame what's going on there.
We all were born and raised there. It's not the same,
but hopefully we can stend the tide in these next

(01:05:24):
four years. But I also want to give a huge
shout out. I'm a voting location manager of four precincts
in Claremont County and I couldn't be any more prouder
of my team. And I know for all of the
poll workers. Since early voting, we don't have the big
morning rush in the afternoon going home rush, but yesterday
we did. It took us an hour and a half
to knock down that line with my eighteen poll workers,

(01:05:47):
but I was so glad to see that kind of turnout.
We almost doubled our last presidential election. I saw nothing
but good signs there concerning that. But the also thing,
we had so many people volunteer the poll workers. I
actually had several rovers in my precinct to handle the crowd,
and everybody was smile, We've all been there. Your wife's
done it, Brian, Oh yeah, And just what a day

(01:06:09):
it goes. That was fifteen hours were I hit my
team there a little bit before five point thirty and
we turned out the lights at eight thirty pm last night,
and it really just flew by. I mean, it just
is a tremendous opportunity. And for the first time in
my eight years, I actually had three people come up
to me and say, we love coming here. How can
I be a part of your team? And I gave
out the cards and they'll be delivered to the Claremont

(01:06:30):
County Board of Elections today. So just to see that
civic involvement, and I think also people wanted to be
involved to once again take this country back and maybe
one county at a time.

Speaker 3 (01:06:40):
Well, every little bit counts. And of course, on behalf
of the fifty five Casey Morning Show, jose Treker me
and all the listeners a sincere thanks to you and
all the folks who worked the polls yesterday. I went
out of my way to thank them multiple times when
I cast my vote yesterday, and just appreciate the efforts
both sides of the political ledger. That's no place for politics.

(01:07:01):
That's the point of being a poll worker. And sure
that integer to the art.

Speaker 21 (01:07:04):
Know I told you in person, but I also want
to out here on the air. Can't thank you enough
for your common sense analysis each and every Monday morning.

Speaker 2 (01:07:12):
Thank you, sir, Thank you so much. I appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (01:07:15):
Hey, man, I'm lucky to have Christopher join the program,
and I agree with you completely on that. See you
at lunch and expect to get my butt kicked again
at cribbage with you Todayage Mike. I love your brother,
reason that maybe we'll see you never throw. You promised
me you'll never throw a game, and if you ever do, Man,
I'd never forgive you. If you did that. Good for you, brother.

(01:08:19):
It's so easy to do and all these services that
they offer. And I've been pushing the idea about getting
a new air conditioning unit because it's a great time
if you have to do it. I know it's never
a great time to have to replace your air conditioning unit,
but why not do it now and take advantage of
a twenty one hundred dollars savings. That's the cool carrier,
comfort rebate carrier. The folks that invented air conditioning make

(01:08:42):

It looks like a clean sweep house, Senate and presidency.
What will the Republicans do with this opportunity? Let us
not squander it if I can give them advice ahead

(01:10:37):
of time. Over to the phones we go, before we
get to Jack Addan at the top of the our news,
Time for calls. Let's take Candy's call. Candy, thanks for
calling this morning, Happy Wednesday to you, Thank you.

Speaker 20 (01:10:47):
I want to make a point to thank Christopher Smitherman.
I enjoy his heartfelt every Monday. Thanks just caring, and
I thank you. And I was a poll worker yesterday
and I saw many people and I did my own
informal looks. I was a stub table and I saw

(01:11:12):
many people carrying Republican ballots in their hands leaving, and
I saw struggling Americans with their walkers. I saw many
people of all kinds, and I was wondering, could we

(01:11:36):
do a Orlando Sanza call? Many calls to Governor de Wine?
And do you think that if we did a campaign
of that, would that sway him? Maybe to put Orlando
Sanza in Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:11:53):
Wouldn't that be beautiful? Right now? According to the reporting
I saw for a Newsmax this morning, it was just
from this morning, it suggested that he's going to choose
his good longtime buddy Rhino Matt Dolan, State Senator Dolan
to fill the seat. So yes, pressure on Mike Dwine
would be welcome. I'm not going to stop anybody from
going down that road, and I think it can only

(01:12:14):
help at least put the bug in his ear that
there's somebody better to choose from than where he's leaning
right now. But it is Mike de Wine we're talking
about here, Candy, you know what I mean?

Speaker 20 (01:12:25):
Yeah, yeah, So when does he have to make that decision?

Speaker 3 (01:12:28):
Honestly, I don't know. I presume it's in advance of
January or January twentieth, when the swearing inn is it
takes place, because of course these are just.

Speaker 20 (01:12:36):
Hope, so hopefully at least a month or two. Uh,
I'll hang up.

Speaker 3 (01:12:41):
Yeah, I think so. I think that's where we are.
Appreciate the call, Candy. Good to hear from you, and
the other one a huge, huge, and I have shot
in Freud here this morning, real quick issue one got
shot down fifty ford to forty six. In spite of
all that money that was pulling in. That French billionaire

(01:13:01):
or Swiss billionaire rather wasted the money he spent, as
did all the other left wing organizations. Luke, Welcome to
the Morning show on a happy Wednesday to you, booring Brian.

Speaker 16 (01:13:12):
I'm just telling just you know, the optimism in the
Patriot is. I believe you're on field this morning with
RFK Junior, with Ray Grahmaswami, with Elon Musk, with with
Trump being the leader, I just feel so optimistic about
you know, America is the greatest country in the world.
I do believe that we should put our own country
first as well as these big businesses, big corporations, pharma,

(01:13:35):
they're they're putting health second in negating.

Speaker 12 (01:13:37):
Their responsibility to make sure that the American.

Speaker 16 (01:13:40):
People are taken care of and treated correctly. If the
government makes no money, it is our dollar that supplies
every single freaking thing they do.

Speaker 2 (01:13:47):
Yes, sir, they can respect the tax payer.

Speaker 16 (01:13:50):
And I believe with the cabinet and and and that
what we have here and it's our job as a
citizen to hold Trump responsible. I believe that he's he's
naturally going to do so, Eli, and but Baker not,
you're going to do so. But if we put him
in there, and they should fight to have our food
as clean as possible, our tax dollar used as the
most efficient freaking way as humanly possible.

Speaker 3 (01:14:11):
And I'm optimistic they able to do that at this
point right now, Luke, I share your optimism, and look,
listen to the litany of folks you just rambled off
in terms of potential cabinet positions, not DEEI hires, not
fill in the check the appropriate box, hires brilliant people, brilliant, capable,
successful business people who have seen the ups and downs,

(01:14:33):
the goods in the good and the band of governments,
who've had to run their own operations and run their
own businesses, know where they can find efficiencies and know
that where they can cut fat. Not just cause you know, oh,
I was the first gay mayor of some random town somewhere.
How does that qualify you for a high public office.
You know, I'm guessing it doesn't. I think the American
people just told us they don't believe it either. So yes,

(01:14:57):
a wonderful cabinet is a great starting point. Fingers crossed, folks.
At least we have a measure and a reason for optimism.
Also a reason for optimism. Jack add In returns to
the program after the top of the UR News to
offer his commentary Trump's historic realignment stick around.

Speaker 10 (01:15:13):
Look what happened?

Speaker 1 (01:15:14):
This is the greatest political comment comeback of all time.

Speaker 13 (01:15:18):
Two three four times today, fifty five krs the talk station.

Speaker 10 (01:15:25):
This report is spunk.

Speaker 19 (01:15:26):
This is the.

Speaker 1 (01:15:27):
Greatest political comebent comeback of all time.

Speaker 13 (01:15:30):
Two three four times today, fifty five krs the talk station.

Speaker 3 (01:15:52):
Seven oh six fifty five krs. The Talks station in
a mostly selvatory moved. You're on the fifty five Cassee
Morning Show. Given the outcome of the presidential election and
the clean sweep Republicans have taken the well, of course,
the presidential race, and there's still some House races in play,
but as of right now, two four to one eighty

(01:16:14):
two in terms of the House, and the Republicans have
already secured majority in the Senate, still hanging there at
fifty two to forty two. So a few races still
in the you know, in play, but not really. If
you look at the leaning, they're they're they're they're leaning pink,
in other words, leaning Republicans, So the advantage for the
Republicans may be more substantial. To that advantage to the

(01:16:37):
fifty five Krsey Morning Show listeners is it's time for
Jack Atherton. We always have Jack on on Wednesdays at
this time, and today we'll hear deep thoughts from Jack
avid In about the Trump historic realignment. Welcome back, my
dear friend, Jack Addid and I love having you on
the show, and I got Christopher Smithman in the studio
here to enjoy your commentary as well.

Speaker 22 (01:16:57):
Buddy, I have no deep thoughts on Joe joyful Christopher,
what a treat to be able to talk with you.
The last time we saw each other was to help
with your campaign, and I can't wait to do that again.

Speaker 2 (01:17:09):
How are you, Oh, I'm doing well, Thank you very much.

Speaker 3 (01:17:12):
Yeah. I've had other people text me this morning, Jack
suggesting the same thing here, and I'm not quite sure.
With Hamilton County as blue as it's gone, and I
crossed the board pretty much, defeat for all things Republican
in Hamilton County may be a lost cause. Although I
try to be optimistic in spite of the darkest times
in front of me. But I got more to be

(01:17:33):
happy about today than disappointed.

Speaker 22 (01:17:36):
Yeah, Brian, I'm going to be joyful. I'm telling you
right now, we're not going to talk about Hamilton County.
We're not going to talk about Matt Dolan. My goodness,
Let's talk about this as honest Abe would have said.
It is all together fitting and proper that Donald Trump,

(01:17:56):
who dodged a bullet in Butler, Pennsylvania, will now help
America dodge a.

Speaker 2 (01:18:02):
Whole hall of bullets.

Speaker 22 (01:18:04):
No more talk of packing and destroying the US Supreme Court,
the Senate filibuster that's going to stay to preserve the
balance of power. Woke crime written Washington DC, and I
mean white collar crime as well as what's on the streets.
Washington DC will not become the fifty first state that
would hand over power permanently to Democrats, because, as we

(01:18:26):
have seen these last four years, Christopher and Bryan, power
does tend to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Can
I share with you, by the way, picking up on
what that lady said to you a few minutes ago,
good news from a local precinct. Amesley and I worked
the polls in JD. Vance's Middletown, and my wife, like

(01:18:50):
your wife, a whole lot more perceptive than we are.
When I warned during our lunch break that there had
been a ton of young women voting, presumably for Iamala Harris,
Ainsley turned to me and she said, didn't you see
how many of those women are carrying Republican slave cards
listing our candidates.

Speaker 2 (01:19:11):
And so it turned out to be just just wonderful.

Speaker 22 (01:19:14):
Ran. I may not be able to see what's right
in front of my face, but on these big picture
segments that you let me do, we do try to
learn from history and today. Donald Trump really has altered
political history because he has completely realigned America's major political parties.

(01:19:34):
Our first president, George Washington, didn't belong to a party.
He was unanimously elected as an independent. Washington, in fact,
warrant against what he called factions, meaning party machines. The
modern day Democrat party goes back to the generation after Washington.

(01:19:55):
In eighteen twenty eight, General Andrew Jackson from Tennessee stood
up to the powerful Eastern bankers who were growing big
governments in Washington. Old Heckory instead wanted a party of farmers, craftsmen, pioneers,
Americas forgotten men and women. He was a bigoted man,

(01:20:17):
but that's the way it was for the times. He did, however,
stand up for the other people in the country who
were considered deplorables garbage. Starting with his presidency, Democrats became
a popular populist party for most of the next century
until now. Today's Democrats do the bidding not of working

(01:20:39):
Americans but of global elites. They ship our manufacturing jobs
overseas for dirt chief wages. They crush farmers with needless regulation.
They choke off domestic energy and reward donors with trillions
of dollars in Green New Deal crony contracts. Democrats teach
young women that their most important right is unlimited abortion.

(01:21:05):
Kamala Harris went beyond Roe v. Wade. We've talked about this,
We've explained this by refusing a late term fetus, any rights,
any recognition by her lights. Democrats teach young men and
women that all you need in this life is not
love but an electronic device. Now let's see you live

(01:21:25):
in your own fantasy world. Only elites need to aspire
to own a home and a car and have a family.
Most Americans are encouraged by Democrats to remain what I've
called at nauseum on your show for years, arrested adolescence
dependent on government, because even with a declining birth rate,

(01:21:46):
they can be replaced by tens of millions of illegal
immigrants who will provide menial labor and votes for Democrats.
But I remind you again about those women we saw
yesterday carrying Republiclican slave cards. Donald Trump, a former Democrat,
a Jacksonian populist, says you are fired to the modern

(01:22:10):
day Dems. He says, I'm bringing back America's middle class
peace through strength, secure borders, fair trade, equal opportunity instead
of handouts for people of every race, creed and preference,
smaller government, more freedom. It's that simple this morning, despite

(01:22:31):
lawfare incredible and I think targeted negligence from the heads
of the Secret Service and news coverage by networks that
we can no longer call the journalists. We can celebrate
Trump's epic victory, it really was, but we still have
to fight.

Speaker 2 (01:22:48):
We have to fight.

Speaker 22 (01:22:48):
Against these elites, so called elites, against their decadent wok culture.
We cannot rely on government to do our job as
parents and grandparents and citizens, neighbors. It's up to us
to teach young people what it really means to be
an American. We are a bottom up government. There's nothing

(01:23:10):
wrong with being on the bottom because you're working to
get to the top or wherever it is in the
middle that makes you happy. We are not, at least today,
or at least come January twentieth, top down government. For
the next four years, at least we're going to be
free to be Americans.

Speaker 2 (01:23:27):
Well you what, both of you?

Speaker 22 (01:23:28):
I can't wait to hear from Christopher.

Speaker 2 (01:23:30):
What do you say, Christopher? Your reaction?

Speaker 14 (01:23:33):
No very powerful? I think the part about the media media,
I wrote down that I had a question about that, asking, Yeah,
media was on the ballot, and I think Americans understood
that I'm gonna call them out. Places like MSNBC, places
like CNN, ABC, the moderators how they were engaging this

(01:23:58):
process walked away and said we we we know that
you've you've been lying to us, and that is what
And I think that I think that President Trump is
going to use these places like X in order to communicate.
He's not gonna He's not going to communicate.

Speaker 3 (01:24:18):
Social X, you know, places where he can get his
message out and it won't be altered, massaged, or otherwise,
and that's ignored.

Speaker 14 (01:24:26):
So I really think that that mainstream media was on
the ballot, and I think having spent all of that
time and all that money saying things like Trump was hitler,
he was a fascist, he was a racist, that Madison
Square Garden was a ku klus Klan rally, I mean,
all of those things were said. But when we wake
up this morning and we look at the map, right,

(01:24:47):
the map is red.

Speaker 3 (01:24:48):
And it reflects that we're smarter than what then they
think we are, collectively speaking, we rejected that nonsensical argument
and went with what we thought was going to be
best for our personal bottom line, and that's Donald Trump,
Jack Ada and I. On that media point, I wanted
to ask you, because you've been in media your entire life,
what do you think that the C and N's, MSNBC's

(01:25:11):
of the world. And I know this may sound preposters,
do you think they're going to learn something from this
and back off their hardcore political philosophy, which is all
they seem to support, and maybe move back to a
more centrist reporting function like they're supposed to do.

Speaker 22 (01:25:27):
Jeff Bezos bough at the Washington Post as a plaything,
as a megaphone for his personal opinions, and his personal
opinions are to the left of Karl Marx. But as
you know, a few weeks ago, Bezos decided that he
wasn't going to allow The Washington Post to make an
endorsement in this race. He saw what was coming. The

(01:25:49):
others all know what's coming too. I mean, they're not
the smartest people in the world. What rights do I
have to say that I view them, I listen to them.
You do too, But they're told what to say by
their bosses. They want to keep their jobs, and they
saw what was coming as well. They know better than
we do because they knew these polls. I mean that
Iowa poll that everybody was talking about the Seltzer pole.

(01:26:11):
It was just phony. It was a push poll. Will
they change their ways? The owners are so rich they
don't really care about losing millions of viewers and listeners
and readers. It really all depends on what they see.
There are predictions, there are warnings from people who really

(01:26:31):
don't know that Donald Trump is going to seek vengeance.
I think he's going to be too busy trying to
improve the world in the country. But if we can
look at things like Section two thirty. We've talked about
it before and don't have the time to go into
detail right now, but that's the provision that insulates social

(01:26:52):
media from lawsuits for things that they post. It's kind
of the same protection at telephone companies back when, At
and T, big Bell they had, but they were common carriers.
They weren't trying to foist their opinions upon us. They
weren't censoring people they disagreed with. So, you know, I
think that we do have to look into Section two thirty.
I think we do have to look into those licenses

(01:27:16):
that were given to the major networks. There's a whole talk, Brian,
that we'll have about that maybe next week. Who got
those licenses, what did they have to pay for them?
How are they supposed to be regulated by the FCC?
How is the FCC now totally political? Yeah, there are
a lot of questions, but I hope that Donald Trump
is going to spend most of his time closing the border,

(01:27:38):
bringing back jobs, peace through strength. There's plenty to do.
As Christopher said, the audiences are ignoring the media as
it is.

Seven twenty three post election celebration Wednesday, going to go
straight to the phones. Former president of the Fraternal oder
Police Chapter sixty nine CINCINNT Police Department, Dan Hill's always
good to hear from you. Dan, Welcome back to the
Morning show.

Speaker 23 (01:28:58):
Well, Brian, I want to graduate my fellow patriots there
on the on the show today. You and christopherk uh
great too great to celebrate with. He's all you actually, Jack,
and you guys stole a little bit of where I
wanted to steer you, which is I want to hear
what you all thought about where where does the media
go from here? And and you guys covered that, So

(01:29:19):
I'm going to pivot then to something else, although I'd
love to still hear more thoughts on the media because
it's just to me, it's the neatest part of this.
I agree with you, Brian. I think I think Trump
and Republicans and even you know, friends and families should
should reach out, not be not be arrogant about this
at all, really try to to bring the country back together.

(01:29:40):
It's a it's a unique opportunity to to do some things.
But uh, you know, the pivot that I I guess
I'll take since the media thing got grabbed up a
little bit, is where do we go where? Uh, the
majority of the country is leaving in law and order
again because I think the border hit so much to
do with this, and and and that's a big law
order issue, right, It's everything that if you can just

(01:30:04):
ignore your borders, you don't believe in law and order,
you don't believe in the rule of law. But at
the same time, a lot of country's moving more towards
law and order. Those pockets of places like our own
Hamilton County. I don't live there anymore, but it'll always
be near and dear to me is moving away from
law and order. I mean, do you how do you
pass on Melissa Powers. I don't get it.

Speaker 3 (01:30:27):
I don't get it either. Are people's just sort of
blind relationship the Democrat Party not really analyzing how much
more how much more benefit it is to having a
competent and qualified hard on crime prosecutor in favor of
a woman who isn't even in my argument, qualified for
the job. I guess what's going to happen is maybe

(01:30:47):
something along the lines of California. Dan remember Proposition forty seven,
which was criminal justice reform, where they, you know, decriminalize
stealing less than nine hundred and fifty dollars. Guess what,
by a vote of let's see, seventy percent to twenty
nine percent, they've passed third Proposition thirty six in California,

(01:31:08):
which got rid of basically Proposition forty seven. They were
sick of dealing with the crime and the out of
control reality of it. Give Hamilton County time to struggle through, well,
high crime, no prosecutions, zero bonds, and short prison terms
for offenders. It'll get worse, and then I suppose everybody
will wake up and say, oh wow, I guess we

(01:31:29):
shouldn't have gone down that road anyway. Maybe you should
have paid attention to what happened out of the West
Coast where they tried this crap and it didn't work.

Speaker 23 (01:31:37):
Yeah, I mean the suffering that's unfortunately going to take
place is more and more bad guys, gun crimes and
stuff are released without bail and now without even you know,
a prosecutor that's going to want to go after him.

Speaker 21 (01:31:50):
You know.

Speaker 23 (01:31:51):
Definitely love to hear from Christopher on this. The violence
that will probably extra more violence that will result because
of the because of this very unfortunate vote that Hamilton
County took. Because I just don't know where they're going.
And like I said, it seems so different than the
rest of the country. That is shown once again that

(01:32:13):
law and order really matters.

Speaker 3 (01:32:15):
Yeah, I'm beside myself, And that was I went to
bed seeing the completed results from Hamilton County before the
presidential election and all the other national election was completely over.
So I went to bed with feeling really really depressed,
not knowing what was lying in store for me when
I turned my phone on this morning. In so far
as the presidential election, so at least I got a

(01:32:35):
boost of confidence and enthusiasm and optimism on a broader
scale issue one got shot down in Ohio. Bernie Morino
got elected to the Senate. The Senate is now controlled
by Republicans, and it looks like the House is moving
in that direction as well. So celebrate, we will, and
we'll just have to kick back and figure out well,
wait and see if Hamilton County can figure out a

(01:32:56):
better path down the road. Prepared to ask the last
person out to bring the flag. Though you know what
I mean, Dan, I do, and.

Speaker 23 (01:33:04):
Thanks for what you do, Brian, and thinking about you
and your health.

Speaker 12 (01:33:07):
Have a great day.

Speaker 3 (01:33:08):
I appreciate it. Always welcome on the show, Dan, I
appreciate your comments. Seven twenty eight bron Thomas Christopher Smith
and in studio taking phone calls. Dave's on the phone, Dave,
I'll get your call when we come back. First though,
I want to strongly recommend affordable medical Imaging, where I
took my own advice, went and got a CT scan
at affordable affordable Imaging Services and saved myself a heap
load of money. I mentioned earlier my friend Jeff, who

(01:33:31):
takes my advice regularly and supports the fifty five KC
Morning Show sponsors. He saved himself heaploads of money by
going with cover SINCEY Jeff specifically, and I got the
exact figure, I was off by five dollars. Jeff saved
on a CT scan three thousand, one hundred and five dollars.
That was his personal out of pocket savings by going
to affordable imaging services rather than the medical imaging department,

(01:33:54):
where a CT scan could cost at least five thousand dollars.
I mentioned the most recent one with a biopsy. I
had the bill, the bill from the imaging department, and
I had to go there because the surgeon had to
do the biopsy was eleven thousand dollars. Eleven thousand dollars.

Speaker 6 (01:34:10):
I know.

Speaker 3 (01:34:10):
I could not believe it when I saw my own eyes. Whatever.
That's why affordable imaging services exist. Echo cardiograms don't pay
two thousand, pay four hundred and ninety five bucks two
hundred and fifty bucks for an ultrasound. Yes, it is
the right way to go. You have a choice. You're
allowed to go wherever you want. I even told my
doctor ahead of time, I'm going to affordable imaging. She
said okay. And did she say anything about the quality

(01:34:31):
of the image or the radiologist support which comes with
the price that I just gave you. No, it always
exactly like she would expect from the imaging department in
the hospital. It's because it is the same equipment. They
just keep their overhead really really low, so expect that
when you go in, you're all the bells and whistles,
but the same equipment. Professionals have been doing this for
forty years five one, three, seven, five three eight thousand.

(01:34:53):
Five one three, seven, five three eight thousand. Learn more
online about the pricing and everything it's affordable. Med Imaging
Doctor fifty five KRC, the talk station ah it's nine
first one. Weather forecasts a few showers this morning and

(01:35:14):
a high of seventy. Cloudy sky's overnights to isolated showers
low as sixty one rain get in some places tomorrow.
I will call it scattered shower as possible showers sixty
nine for the high overnight, a few clowns, and a
lower forty eight Sunday on Friday with the highest sixty
five sixty six. Right now, Chuck, it's going on with traffic.

Speaker 7 (01:35:36):
Or not.

Speaker 3 (01:35:37):
Sometimes that happens. I know he's back there. We're gonna
go to the phones here. Christopher Smithvan former vice manor
of the City of Cincinnati spending time in the fifty
five KC Morning Show. We're doing political analysis and welcoming
people's comments commentary. So let's go over to the phone.
It's got Dave online Day. Thanks for holding over the break,
Welcome to the show.

Speaker 12 (01:35:55):
Hey Brian, thanks good good to be here on the
West Side or Cincinnati to listen to you all the time.

Speaker 4 (01:36:04):
And honestly, me and my girl were just thinking this morning, like,
you know why that the media and the Democrats are
so out of touch is because God, they lost the Lord.
I don't know other than that, because I mean, these
people you don't want, you know, as a man, I

(01:36:26):
don't want to have to take my little girl in
the bathroom just because who knows what could be in
there or whatever else it is.

Speaker 12 (01:36:33):
Yeah, really it's God.

Speaker 4 (01:36:35):
I mean, the country woke up to say, look, these
people are going in the wrong direction where you know,
we believe in power greater than ourselves and Trump was
the man to do that for us.

Speaker 3 (01:36:53):
In my opinion, yep, I agree with you. That is
if I think a far more critical issue than the
Democrats thought it would be. Is this that woke ideology
most notably when it comes to the idea of men
competing against women in sports and the idea of men
being in a girl's locker room. You know, honestly, I

(01:37:13):
bet you be hard pressed you find the wokest Democrat
woman mother out there who's got a daughter, and I
bet if you really, you know, load her up with truth,
serum or god it. Otherwise, speak the truth across the
board without trying to toast some political line. She too
would feel uncomfortable about a guy in the locker room
with her young daughter. That's a bridge too far. So

(01:37:35):
question out loud for everybody, do you think that Democrats
will learn something from this? Much in the same way
we asked the question do you think the mainstream media
is going to learn something from this? Since they were
literally the mouthpiece for this woke leftist ideology that obviously
didn't cotton real well with the vast majority of Americans.
Donald Trump won the popular vote, Donald Trump won the

(01:37:55):
Electoral College. Appreciate the call, day, I've got to run
seven to thirty five right now with your five krs
of detalk station. Pete's on the line. I'm looking forward

bills more affordable, saving money every month. You got winter coming,
it's going to be cold at you know, regardless of
how cold it's going to be, maybe one of his
killer winners, like the mid seventies. It may be a
mild winner, but I bet your heating unit's going to
be on if it is, regardless of what type of
heat you have, You're going to save money with the
USA Freemium phone. In the exterior walls, he's been insulating
homes of late. You know, people want even more insulation,

(01:38:39):
so even new er homes, Ah, they're getting the benefit
of an additional shot of USA and the exterior walls.
But I focused mostly on mid seventies and before with
no insulation, or earlier homes, say, you know, mid seventies
or after late into the eighties, you've got deteriorated, old
under insulated in that in this wall. So the foam

(01:39:00):
to it. It starts with a free inspection they'll let
you know if you're under insulated or not, or if
you have none in there. You know you need the
Foam and Act now while it's ninety nine dollars a
month interest free, and you'll still get the twelve hundred
dollars energy tax credit when you're doing your taxes next year,
it's like taking twelve off the top. So get in
touch with them online at the USA Insulation dot Net.
They'll show you how the product works and answer all

(01:39:22):

traffic is backing up pants forty two in Sharonville northbound

Chuck Ingramont fifty five KRC the talk station.

Speaker 3 (01:40:31):
Seven forty Here fifty five kr CD talk station Brian
Thomas thankfully with in studio Christopher Smithman, enjoying the discussion
what we can expect, what we hope for the aftermath
of the election. Of course, if you're just waking up
tuning in, it's an across the board suite at least
it's looking that way, just waiting on some more of
the House races. But Republicans already secured the Senate. Donald

(01:40:53):
Trump just handily won the presidential and not just the
electoral college, the popular vote. So no screams and wailing
and gnashing of teeth about getting rid of the electoral College.
So it was pretty amazing outcome there. Let's go to
the funds, I promise PDB first he's been on whole Pete,
thanks for holding Welcome to the program.

Speaker 9 (01:41:13):
Thanks Brian, Thanks both you gentlemen for carrying the torture
freedom and all the input that you guys share with
us all the time. I like to just say that
this is a great day for America, and I think
Donald Trump will likely go down hiss as one of
the greatest leaders to ever exist. And I think they
should take that image of him at Butler, Pennsylvania and

(01:41:37):
start chiseling it in to out there in in the mountains.
They're the image of him.

Speaker 3 (01:41:48):
Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 9 (01:41:49):
Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 3 (01:41:50):
Yeah, see add Trump's image in the image on Mount
Rushmore would be the one where he's got blood running
down his face with the hole in his ears up
in the air. Yeah. Maybe a bit of a challenge
from a rock carving standpoint, but I'm not sure to
the idea. I know Reagan was suggest that it's being

(01:42:11):
added on there, and that never happened either, And probably
you would have dispute with the Native Americans, so I
guess they're pissed off over the fact that Mount Rushmore
exists in the first place. I liked the idea, though, Pete.
I'm glad we're in a salvatory mood today because I
was really worried as I went to sleep last night,
very worried. Yeah, hard it was to turn my phone
on this morning, Christopher when I got up, Ah, I

(01:42:32):
was so worried. But you know what, you know, it's
time to not squander the opportunity. You know, he made
some significant inroads with blacks. He made significant inroads, of course,
I'm talking about Donald Trump with the Hispanic community. The
polling data exit polling data suggests he got a huge swath.
And Christopher, you were commenting about that to me earlier

(01:42:54):
off Mike about Democrats now having to reckon with the
fact that they do not have a guaranteed lockstep group
of black people just voting with them simply because they're
told they have to vote Democrat.

Speaker 14 (01:43:10):
Yeah, I think minority voters sent a message to the
Democratic Party and this realignment I'm going to use that
word happened last night. And depending on how they take
that feedback, which I think they're going to take the
feedback badly. I think that CNN and MSNBC are going
to the journalism is dead. I think it's real, and

(01:43:33):
they're going to get into name calling, trying to shame
people for saying, Hey, I'm looking out for my family
and I have a different perspective. And I think that
the Democratic Party has this political plantation mentality where they're
saying I'm making all the rules and you're going to
follow in lockstep. We saw former President Barack Obama make

(01:43:54):
the mistake on the campaign trail saying brothers, you need
to line up and line up behind me. You know,
all of those all that kind of rhetoric. Wherever you are,
whoever's listening here, there was a clear message set yesterday,
and the question is is the Democratic Party is are
the is the media listening? I want to say that
I think the biggest mistake that the Harris campaign made

(01:44:18):
was early it's and this is down in the weeds,
but I believe that when she decided to not pick
Governor Shapiro out of Pennsylvania, right a Jewish governor, because
of her identity politics, because she was worried about the
Middle Eastern vote at the time, and she went with
this Minnesota governor that no one had heard of, that

(01:44:38):
she was going to win that state anyway. That was
the beginning of her losing the Blue Wall, meaning the
Governor Shapiro would have been on that wall up in Michigan,
in Pennsylvania, in Wisconsin, connecting with people.

Speaker 3 (01:44:52):
He's a great speaker, he is there you go. He's
far more competent. He would have been a far better
selection in terms of qualification, competence and telegraphing the message.

Speaker 2 (01:45:02):
Telegraphing the message.

Speaker 14 (01:45:03):
And I think what's going to happen here is that
Governor Shapiro is going to be coming out as one
of the lead candidates four years from now. The other
point I want to make in my observation is that
remember President Trump only has four years. This is really important, right,
So he's a termed out president. He has nothing to lose.

(01:45:23):
He can never run for re election again. So believe me,
you're going to see a very aggressive president on his
agenda because no one can hurt him. He's in his eighties.
He's not worried about running for anything again. Yeah, and so,
and no more Trump derangement syndrome. I mean you can
have Trump derangement syndrome and scream about what he might

(01:45:45):
be doing in office in the future, but they have
no longer that running you're running against somebody else. They're
gonna have to run on their own platform for a change.
And I imagine beginning, oh probably today, that the new
target and the new racist, misogynist, homophobes, esmophob fill in
the blank, for all the negativity is going to be
directed at JD. Vans because they know he is popular,

(01:46:09):
he's articulate, he is wonderful in terms of messaging. He
will not step back or you know, in fear from interviews,
and so he is likely going to be the probably
outstanding presidential candidate in the next next election. Here's going
to be what I think is going to tell me
whether they've learned anything the Manhattan judge, Judge Merchant, who

(01:46:32):
is saying that now President Trump has to show up
and be sentenced. What did they learn And so if
you see the mainstream media saying we're going to bring
Trump in, have him stand in front of Judge Merchant,
even though the Supreme Court has said that this case
should not go forward, and we're going to try to

(01:46:53):
put him in jail. If you see any of that
kind of behavior, I will look at you and say,
they haven't learned anything.

Speaker 2 (01:46:59):
They're not listening, and that meaning.

Speaker 14 (01:47:02):
There is a date on the calendar where And I'm
gonna tell you the kind of a guy I don't
know obviously President elect Trump, but he's a guy that
would show up for that.

Speaker 3 (01:47:11):
He probably would would would He would land with.

Speaker 14 (01:47:14):
The helicopter surrounded by the Secret Service, with the launch
codes following him in there with his Manhattan judge saying
I'm about to put you in jail, and I just
share with you. That's gonna be one of my signs, Brian,
did they learn anything from this election?

Speaker 3 (01:47:31):
He'll He'll have the pardon paper for himself in the
briefcase as well. Remain to be seen. Stick around. Rob
Ryder's on the phone. I always love hearing from Rob,
and we'll do that right after this brief words for
Foreign Exchange. I was there yesterday at Foreign Exchange Westchester location. Yes,
I took I seventy five to the Tylersville exit, went
two streets east and turned down Kingland Drive and had

(01:47:53):
my wife's car service. Yes, I was more than happy.
Got to put the top down. I'm not a ragtop guy.
My wife is, and she's got a convertible anyway, front
spoiler had gotten chewed up on a speed thing and
or rather a parking bump, so had it replaced. Also
had the leaky tire. Yeah, she was struggling with a
leak in the rear tires. So they got that taken
care of. It is permanently patched, all to my satisfaction,

(01:48:16):
and all at a much better price. If I'd have
taken it to the German car dealership, I know I
would have paid a lot more. Oh well, she loves
her car and I love her, and I'm glad I
have Foreign Exchange because I love them too, saving me
and my family lots of money over the years. Because
that's the bottom line. At Foreign Exchange, you get ase
certified master technicians working on your car. You get a

About ker City Talk Station. You're right, Eric, I forgot
New York charges of the state, not federal, so he
can't be pardoning himself for that. So cause you remain
this followed through with it, which I think would be
an extraordinarily bad idea given the Trump did take the
popular vote as well as the electoral College. Over to
the phones, as promise Rob Ryders on the phone, of course, friend,

(01:50:26):
do the entire listening community good to hear back from you. Rob,
Welcome to the show, and I'm proud to.

Speaker 24 (01:50:32):
Be a deplorable where at least I know I'm free.
Good morning, guys, we.

Speaker 3 (01:50:41):
Oh, I forgot. For those who are just tuning in,
Christopher Smithman is in studio this morning. We're doing election
analysis together with you and the two of us, so
feel free to call in anyway.

Speaker 24 (01:50:50):
Go ahead, Rob Oh, Good morning to you guys. Well,
I got three or three or four real quick ones.
Number one. I know you've spoke about Melissa Powers. I
hope she can remain in the public arena so she
can run again. We need her, I agree, you know,
and there has been so much complaining from the left

(01:51:12):
when we when when those on the right said that
there had been election fraud, I'm glad they didn't start
trying to bring that up after they have said there's
no such thing as election fraud that, you know whatever.
But I hope we can redefine woke. And I think
that if Trump is really good and using JD. Vance

(01:51:35):
a lot in more than just the typical vice presidential role,
figure out. I think the plan of succession, right, the
plan of succession could be very very important to really
advance a very good edge.

Speaker 3 (01:51:51):
Well that's why I put it out early in the
last segment, Rob that it is probably going to be JD.
Vance who's the new target of the smears from beginning
this point forward for the next four years. So they
have him all wind up to be the next evil
orange man fill in the blank on what they might
call him. But that's really what I'm expecting, a pile
up of negativity against JD. Vans.

Speaker 24 (01:52:13):
I think that he can overcome that. Oh yeah, it's amazing,
Oh yeah, I am so happy about what happened. I
am kind of still pinching myself a little bit. I
didn't think it was going to happen.

Speaker 3 (01:52:26):
Well, I was concerned when I went to bed, but
I'm happy man now. In spite of Hamilton County going
full on communists, we do have a nation that woke
up to the reality is what was going on and
did not buy the media narrative, did not buy the
idea that abortion is the only issue, realized perhaps that
abortion is not an issue on a federal level anymore,
it's a state issue, and looked at their grocery bills,

(01:52:48):
their bottom line. They looked at inflation, the price of gas,
and the insanity of men playing sports against women and
showing up in women's locker room. Right, Christopher at is
very very correct. Amen, Brother Rob Ryder, love you man,
beyond all that. Guys, I'm with you, my love, your
better half. To Rob, you're out of your element. Let's

(01:53:08):
see what Sean's got before we take a great Sean,
thanks for calling us morning, Happy Wednesday. Sean. Well you're on.

Speaker 6 (01:53:21):
I just wanted to ask you a quick question, sir.
Mister Smithlman was talking about these people accepting the outcome
of the results of this, and I'm of the opinion, sir,
that a man convinced against his will is a man
of the same opinion. Still, these people aren't going to
change their mind. I don't mean to sound negative, but

(01:53:43):
thank you sir.

Speaker 3 (01:53:44):
Have a good day, Seawan. People do learn from their mistakes,
and those who do not learn from their mistakes continue
to make mistakes, and we'll continue to lose elections. That's
what I see. I mean clearly, the outreach effort worked
on behalf of Trump. It was very rag and ask.
It was we're going back to the eighties. The Union
folks went over to Reagan. They saw a better opportunity.

(01:54:04):
They had a crappy situation under Jimmy Carter and they
saw a better opportunity under Reagan. He delivered on it,
and he delivered on it with positivity. And that's what
I'm hoping that Trump does. No gloating, no name calling,
no then and then, none of that stuff. Just hit
the ground running. Come out today, tell everybody what your
cabinet's going to be. Come out today totally what you're

(01:54:25):
gonna do on day one on immigration, Come out today
and talk about embracing this new collective of people across
racial lines the name of bringing about a better reality
for the United States of America. Because clearly. The population here,
the voting population anyway, not happy with the current circumstances demonstrably,

(01:54:46):
So don't go away. We got more to talk about
after the top of the hour. News. It's seven fifty
five right now. Judge Editapolitano, he's going to chime in
at eight thirty as he does every Are you gonna
be around the next hour, Joe Christopher for part of it? Great?
All right, well we'll continue. Christopher Smithman will remain in studio,
which is a joy for me this morning. Don't go
wipe right back there we go again, another news update.

Speaker 10 (01:55:07):
We're going to get all the fox an ear full
of information.

Speaker 2 (01:55:10):
At the top of the hour. I'm going to break
it down fast.

Speaker 3 (01:55:13):
Fifty five krs the talk station.

Speaker 2 (01:55:16):
This report it happened.

Speaker 1 (01:55:17):
This is the greatest political comeback of all time.

Speaker 18 (01:55:21):
There's ever been.

Speaker 2 (01:55:21):
Two, three, four times.

Speaker 3 (01:55:23):
Today fifty five krs the talk station.

Speaker 10 (01:55:27):
It's time to take out the trash.

Speaker 3 (01:55:33):
Indeed, the Shaiave EIGHTO six here fifty five krc DE
talk station. Enjoying a victory lap this morning. For the
most part. I know my friends here in Hamilton County
got right quite celebrated victory lab completely, but enjoy the
broad races. State of Ohio Issue one, Dad Bernie Moreno
now going to be a senator, Shared Brown gone, and

(01:55:53):
in the House. In the House Supreme Court, Republicans won
all three open seats. Now they have a six to
one advantage over the leftist judicial Act of this singular Now,
so some great news out of Ohio. Nationally speaking, the
Senate now in control of the Republicans. The House still
waiting on final results, although advantage Republicans right now where

(01:56:16):
it stands and beyond just winning the electoral college, Donald
Trump won the popular vote by more than four million votes,
which in and of itself is a truly amazing thing.
Got Christopher Smithmen, former Vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati,
in studio. We've got some comments and some thoughts to
share with each other, and I know Christopher wants to
talk about the Trump administration as it moves forward, what

(01:56:37):
they need to do, how we need to solidify the
growing number of minority voters who came over across the
aisle because they're well, I guess their lives sucked enough
that they could ignore this idea that they must vote
Democrat Blacks, Hispanics huge inroads with the Hispanic community. But
before we do that, let's get rid of the phones
real quick.

Speaker 6 (01:56:56):
Here.

Speaker 3 (01:56:56):
Dave's on the line, Steve, hang on, you'll be next day.
Thanks for calling the Morning Show Wednesday.

Speaker 12 (01:57:02):
Happy Wednesday, Brian and Chris. How are you guys doing
this morning?

Speaker 3 (01:57:06):
Pretty happy about it?

Speaker 25 (01:57:09):
Yeah, I gotta tell you, in all honesty, I feel
like quote unquote garbage this morning. So there you go.
But it leads me to a few questions. One, what
do you think the Groover Cleveland people.

Speaker 23 (01:57:21):
Are doing this morning?

Speaker 25 (01:57:22):
Are they mad about someone breaking his record over there?
So that's my first question. Second question is is uh
I think uh, there's probably mixed emotions among the uh,
the Joe and Joe Biden camp because you know, there
was some bad blood in there for being kicked out.
I don't think they're going to be too upset about
this result over there, if you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (01:57:43):
No, I agree with that. It's funny. It's one of
the things Christopher and I were just talking about because
of the garbage comment, and I out loud said, you
know what, I don't think Biden cares he felt, you
know what, he's boxer from animal farm Georgia Orra's animal farm.
He spent his whole life working for the Democrats, doing
their bidding. He did their bid, and then when his
time was up, as it was, they put him in
a cart and sent him off to the glue factory.

(01:58:05):
And he feels stung and resents that. So, yeah, that's
why maybe he you know, I'm not going to say
he was aware what period, end of story, but I'm
not saying he's aware of the garbage comment would do
so much damage to Kamala Harris's campaign, not that she
would have won even had he not said it, but
that he didn't care, that he didn't mind damaging the
Democrat name. He was like, well, screw you guys.

Speaker 18 (01:58:27):
You know what.

Speaker 3 (01:58:28):
Screw you guys, so appreciate.

Speaker 18 (01:58:30):
It, Dave.

Speaker 25 (01:58:31):
The only the only shame on you I have this
this morning is that Hamilton County for Connie Pillachs. What
were you guys thinking? What were they thinking?

Speaker 3 (01:58:39):
I have no idea they weren't, And.

Speaker 2 (01:58:44):
That's shame on you.

Speaker 12 (01:58:45):
What were you thinking? You didn't do any research.

Speaker 25 (01:58:47):
You just voted the name on the on the ballot.

Speaker 12 (01:58:49):
That's exactly what you did.

Speaker 3 (01:58:50):
Yeah, that's why I keep saying last person out of
Hamilton County bring the flag because it's gone full on comedy.
Appreciate it, Dave. Let's get to Steve, who's been hanging online. Steve,
thanks for calling this morning. Happy Wednesday, Happy Thank you, Brian.

Speaker 26 (01:59:03):
I just wanted to I want to call and thank
you for talking me off the letters over the last
four years. It's been a tough four years. I can't
even imagine my grandkids. I feel like they have a
chance now, and I just wanted to thank you.

Speaker 3 (01:59:16):
Well, you're I mean, you're welcome, Steve. I try to
be the voice of reason.

Speaker 2 (01:59:20):
Brother.

Speaker 3 (01:59:21):
Bottom line is you can't make two and two not
equal four. That's the proposition I always bring from my
libertarian philosophy is live your life, enjoy it. Don't interfere
with mine, but enjoy your life. That's a beautiful thing
about America. Say what you want, let's exchange ideas in
it in a healthy way, in a nice exchange way.

(01:59:41):
That's the point of you know, living in America. So
I'm happy to be here to try to present that
logical reasonable at least as I see it. Voice and
the lines are always open for people to share an
alternative voice, and we can talk about it, and maybe
you can convince me that on any particular given point
that I am wrong. I'll be the first person to

(02:00:03):
admit it when that day comes. I have changed my
mind and my attitude about matters political over the years,
so it can be done. I just need to be
solidly convinced. And it's never gonna happen in an atmosphere
where it starts with you calling me names like garbage
and nazi, an idiot and racist and xenophobe and humbophobe,
because I'm none of the four going at all. And

(02:00:23):
I got a record to run on to prove that. Steve,
God bless you man. Thanks for calling this morning. Christopher.

Speaker 14 (02:00:29):
I just yeah, I just want to weigh in and
share with you that a lot of voters held their
nose and voted for Trump, and I think people have
to deal with that reality. And you know, President Trump
is going to have to be presidential, meaning people are
gonna are looking for him to get away from the

(02:00:49):
name calling. Really think about bringing people like Nikki Haley closer.
What kind of conversations does he need to have with her?
And then be people listening to me to say, no,
I disagree. He's got to keep being the same guy. Look,
he's got to unite the Republican Party if they have
the House, the Senate, and the White House, in order

(02:01:10):
to get things done and to be productive. We don't
want to wake up and we have a vote to
remove the Speaker of the House as an example. So
how he conducts himself is really really important in these
next three to four days. The other thing is that
I think that Vice President Harris should have spoke last night,

(02:01:33):
and her sending her supporters home, not conceding the election.
These are all things that they said that they were
looking that that President Trump would do.

Speaker 2 (02:01:43):
He didn't do it because he won.

Speaker 14 (02:01:46):
You don't hear that criticism saying when is she going
to come and address the country, concede the election, and
make sure.

Speaker 3 (02:01:54):
That hers the crap. They don't need to hear from her.
He won, it's already been declared. He's the vic She's
gonna have the sun in the bottom line, And when
it comes time to certifying the vote.

Speaker 14 (02:02:04):
I think it's important because this is her message of
joy and wanting to have a country that is unified.
So she has to send a message to the other
fifty percent of the country that this election happened and
I lost. These are all the things that they said
President Trump did not accept the results. And so now

(02:02:24):
it's an opportunity for CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC to get
on TV and say, I accept the results, the popular vote,
the electoral process, and we need the candidate that we've
been supporting to concede the election.

Speaker 2 (02:02:39):
So this is going to be a real moment to
see if they're able to do that.

Speaker 3 (02:02:42):
Well. I think they're in no position to argue anything
to the contrary given, and I think it's just such
a fundamental point. I believe that in their heart of hearts,
they really thought, you know what, Okay, we know Kamala
Harris sucks. We know she doesn't have anything to run
on except her well, her presidential candidacy records. She's running
away from everything that they've done over the past three

(02:03:04):
and a half years, the open borders, the WOK policies,
all that inflation crime, you know, defunding the police. So
she didn't have anything to run and except the abortion issue,
which again is in a federal issue. So I think
they were thinking it's going to be another twenty sixteen,
where the popular vote went for the Democrat Hillary Clinton,

(02:03:28):
and yet Donald Trump still won because of the electoral college.
He'd be screaming, bloody murder, but we need to get
rid of the electoral college. This isn't fair. Most of
America didn't want this guy. He handily won this again,
north of four million votes ahead of Kamala Harrison the
national vote. And I think that's one of the most
surprising elements is when I woke up this.

Speaker 2 (02:03:47):
Morning, well, I will say that.

Speaker 14 (02:03:52):
You know these again, these next few few steps that
he takes today and the next day, what interviews does
he give, how he presents himself to all of the
people out here who really support Trump. We should be
doing that and we should be sending a unified message
because the world is listening. Imagine every world leader right
now is on the phone talking to President elect Trump

(02:04:14):
and it's I have a son who serves in the military.
He's he's continuing to serve now in the military. I
think what Trump was saying that you know, who would
send their own child to war. It was what he
was trying to send when he was talking about about
Liz Cheney. And so we want to see a clear
message here that he's going to deal with what's happening

(02:04:36):
in Ukraine, what he's going to deal with what's happening
in Israel.

Speaker 2 (02:04:40):
And I actually think that this morning they're all.

Speaker 14 (02:04:43):
Resetting because they didn't respect the White House, Brian Thomas,
They just these other leaders have not been respecting what's
been coming from the White House, and I think this
morning there they're going to have to reset how they've
been dealing with these geopolitical issues around the world.

Speaker 3 (02:04:58):
Well, obviously, a call into the White ho House, if
you're a leader of a foreign country, most likely you're
going to get a surrogate, someone who would be speaking
for Joe Biden, not speaking with Joe Biden because of
the man obviously stuffers cognitively, and he's not in a
position to engage the way he used to be such
a long time ago. Let's pause, Luke hang on the phone.

(02:05:20):
Jay and Luke are on the phone. We'll get those
calls in before we get to Judge Inn and Apolitano.
It's eight fifteen here, fifty five KCD talk station. I
was just looking at fast and pro Roofing's website just
the other day. I had a reason to do that,
and oh my god, you know, there are so many
illustrations of the absolutely beautiful work they do. I'm in

(02:05:41):
the craftsmanship. I have a profound respect for traditional Old
world type craftsmanship. And I was looking at some of
the metal work that they have done. Oh, the copper
and the other metal work. The box gutters they do
handmade and religned and i hand soldered, just gorgeous. The
metal roofs. They show you that overhead view of a
replacement of a shingle roof with a metal roof.

Speaker 2 (02:06:03):
You can do that.

Speaker 3 (02:06:03):
They do metal roofs. They do every kind of roof.
They'll fix your terra cotta roof, they'll deal with your
slate issues. And of course, if you need to have
a roof replaced, then you're gonna get a shingle roof.
Go ahead and take advantage of the free upgrade. You
get a fifty year certainty landmark fifty year shingle and
you don't have to pay extra for the upgrade from
the twenty five or thirty year whatever the lower model is.

(02:06:24):
So they do commercial roofs, residential roofs, and I'm telling
you they will not light to you, they will not
cheat you. They will not try to sell you something
you do not need. And there's so many roofing companies
out there that'll be more than happy to do just that.
So call them safely confidently, A plus with a better

closing out this segment with Christopher Smithman in studio. He's
gonna head off on down the road and go back
to his real job, but it's been a real pleasure
having him in studio, UH doing our analysis of the
election and listening to the listeners observations about it. Lamenting
the reality here in Hamilton County. I must note let's
go to the phone. It's got a couple of callers online.

(02:08:29):
We'll start with Luke Jay. Hang on your next Luke.
Thanks for holding there, brother, welcome to the program, Thank you,
and good morning.

Speaker 27 (02:08:38):
I guess I have a two part question. It's about
probably the policy that I'm most enthusiastic that that Donald
Trump just introduced, and that would be for the Department
of Government Efficiency.

Speaker 3 (02:08:49):
Yeah, Elon Musk, right correct.

Speaker 27 (02:08:53):
So I guess my question would be number one, how
do you go about starting the Department of Government Efficiency?
And number two, is there a really good chance that
he could.

Speaker 12 (02:09:05):
Get it done?

Speaker 3 (02:09:06):
I yes to the latter, assuming they give him enough
flexibility in control. There's so much fraud, waste, and abused
in government. I think anybody with a business background, and
as someone who knows as much about building and maintaining
an efficient, profitable businessman like Elon Musk, can manage that task.
In terms of creation, creating it, Hew, Donald Trump created

(02:09:27):
out a whole cloth with the Space Force. It's a
question of getting it funded and with a Republican Congress,
a Republican Senate, you've got Republicans across the board. I
think that that shouldn't be a difficult job to do.
So create the office, fund the office, put Elon Musk
in control, and give him as much flexibility as humanly possible,

(02:09:47):
and of course deal with the aftermath of employment litigation
when a bunch of people get their pink slips handed
to them, because that's exactly what should happen. And as
of right now, I would imagine this is like a
Oliver North shredding party going on among all these lettered
agencies right now. Hurry up and get rid of all
the damning information before January kicks in, or we are

(02:10:08):
in a world of hurt and they may still be anyway, Jay,
thanks for calling us morning. Welcome to the program.

Speaker 28 (02:10:14):
Hey, thanks Brian, just real quick, I want to thank
you for what you did all the voters, well done.
Feel good for fifteen minutes. But do never underestimate the
Republicans Party's ability to squander an opportunity, ay Man, John McCain,
think about John McCain is the reason we still have Obamacare.
The previous So my point is, stay busy, stay focused,

(02:10:39):
take all that energy focusing on the Republicans now.

Speaker 12 (02:10:43):
The war's not over.

Speaker 28 (02:10:44):
The other thing is you want to get rid of
Dolan and not have him as our next senator.

Speaker 23 (02:10:51):
Don't waste your breath.

Speaker 28 (02:10:52):
Email and Mike de Wine, I think jd Vance is
who we need to contact. He's in the bully pulpit,
who's got President Trump's here. Couldn't call mickem out the
wine and say, uh, we're not you know, Dolan would
be our Kamala Harris. He's run for everything since a
dogcatcher can't win. And so there is a wine rhino

(02:11:12):
going to appoint another rhino, and the people that voted
for Dwine there you go. Elections have consequences. So instead
of getting two conservative Republicans, we're just going to replace
Rob Portman wishy washy, do nothing, another rhino with Dolan.
But we clearly said we don't want so stay busy, people,
stay on these Republicans. We only have two years. Statistics

(02:11:34):
say midterm elections, the party in power loses control. So
we don't have four years. We have two short years
to get a whole lot of work done. So get
them off their ass and get.

Speaker 3 (02:11:43):
A move in the Stute observations. Jake Christopher, you.

Speaker 14 (02:11:45):
Want to chime in, So I just want to say
that Governor Dwine is a friend. I certainly will reach
out to him about all of this, you know, because
he's waking up this morning going, Wow, there was an election.
There's some big results, and I'm going to be in
the driver's seat about this Senate seed. So I'll certainly
reach out to him. And what I want to say
to the public is one, we have to use this unification,

(02:12:09):
unifying language right now. We've got to give people an
opportunity to govern until they tell us otherwise. Trump has
said I'm going to be different, right That's why people
now trusted him. He has clearly realigned the constituency of
the Republican Party. And by the way, I would always
talk to Chairman Alex Trump to Filo, and I would say,

(02:12:33):
Alex Trump to Filo, why are you not doing outreach
in Hamilton County to the minority parts of our county.
These were conversations that I was trying to have with
the Republican Party when I was the president of the
Cincinnati NAACP for seven years. Okay, here's what I'm saying.
If Hamilton County is going to be different, the chairman,

(02:12:55):
Chairman mock is going to have to do some of
the work that you just saw the press do right
and realigning and expanding what Hamilton County voters look like
within the Republican Party. And if the tent meaning the
tent for mister Smitheman, the guy that you're looking at
right now, right, that tent hasn't been big enough for me. Right,

(02:13:16):
So as I look at you, a person who supports
the LGBTQQ plus community, and I'm saying, why am I
not a part of it? I don't care what people
are doing in their bedroom, right, my values around, my
conservative principles. But that tent hasn't been big enough for
your friend, Brian Thomas Sot. Until the Republican Party in
Hamilton County really opens up the tent, we will continue

(02:13:40):
to have the kinds of results that we had last night.

Speaker 3 (02:13:43):
Yeah, and I agree. I just think you know, as
I observe it, the tent's always been open insofar as
policies are concerned. It's just that the brainwashing mechanism of
the Democrats and this long standing argument that blacks are
always Democrats and there will be no dissent among them
ranks kind of closes people's minds because they're not paying
a whole lot of attention to politics anyway closes the

(02:14:05):
people's minds to really considering what the Republicans are offering.
By way of contrast, you're right hit the ground running
with a positive Reagan like message. Remember how many people
within the Black community, the Hispanic community, and hopefully even
the Jewish community. I haven't seen any numbers yet. Keep
them in the tent by welcoming them, keeping the door open,

(02:14:27):
keeping the conversation going. Don't stop going into black communities
and selling your message. That's the best way to build
on what started this morning. Christopher Smithman, A pleasure having
you in the studio this morning. Always love. I love
our conversation and people can follow me.

Speaker 14 (02:14:43):
I like to say at vote Smitherman, So if you're
liking what I'm saying, I like getting that feedback. Unlet's
stay connected through through X at Vote Smitherman, Thank you
so much, brother.

Speaker 3 (02:14:53):
My pleasure. Will look forward to having you back on
on Monday. Do the smither Man folks don't go away.

wouldn't say I'm an expert on.

Speaker 2 (02:15:05):
Do you know what's happening in the city.

Speaker 10 (02:15:07):
Yeah, I just I really don't have time to keep
up with it because I'm so busy at my job.

Speaker 13 (02:15:10):
It's time to start paying attention. Checking in at the
top end, bottom of the hour. It's time fifty five krs.

Chuck Ingram on fifty five KRC the talk station, Hey,
thirty one.

Speaker 3 (02:16:18):
Fifty five karsite talk station. It's that time post presidential
election day or now we'll get here, Judge Ennen of
Politano every Wednesday at this hour in advance. Apologies from
Chuck Ingram for not doing a personalized message. He knew
you were coming on. It's just that he had so
much traffic issues going on here locally, he just didn't

(02:16:38):
have time. It's been kind of a I don't know,
I'll use a military term that you might be familiar with.
You're honored, Charlie Foxtrott. Kind of traffic situation day here,
so i'll extend a poblem.

Speaker 29 (02:16:48):
I'm familiar with that term. But I'm also spoiled rotten
by waking up on every Wednesday morning eagerly anticipating what
he's gonna say.

Speaker 3 (02:16:58):
I know, and I know the comments are always directed
to you, But I get as bigg a kick out
of him as you do, because Lord knows what he's
going to come out of his mouth. So Anyhow, it's
always a pleasure to have you on the program. Obviously,
I know I've got your column here. What if voting
is fruitless? Which is well, the title can serve as

(02:17:19):
an interesting springboard into your response or your reaction to
the It looks like a clean sweep. Donald Trump handily one,
not just the electoral college, but the popular vote as well,
by more than four million, and control of the Senate
now in Republican hands by at least a couple We
have some ountliars that haven't been settled yet. The House

(02:17:40):
looks like it's going to be in the Republicans' hands
as well. I just clearly Kamala Harrison Harris's messages of
name calling didn't resonate with the American people.

Speaker 29 (02:17:51):
I think that Joe Biden has been a terrible president
domestically and foreign policy wise. And this was visited upon
how who attempted to defend him and couldn't distance herself
from him. And the people are sick and tired of Ukraine,
Gaza and high prices. I mean high prices are caused

(02:18:13):
by the Fed, the majority of whom we're appointed by
Donald Trump. Nevertheless, high interest rates, high prices hit everybody.
She couldn't have a clear message on Gaza. I don't
know if she agrees with Joe Biden or not. Her

(02:18:34):
husband and her daughters are Jewish, and she frequently retreated
to that as a defense to her support of him.
Notwithstanding the slaughter of innocence there. Ukraine is utterly indefensible.
So the people wanted a change, and they voted for it.

(02:18:55):
I did not expect this at all. I went to
bed early and woke up expecting, you know when I
usually get up at four point thirty, probably after you
get up, expecting, you know, litigation and recrimination and vote
counting and recounting. And by the time I finished brushing

(02:19:16):
my teeth, the whole world had declared Donald Trump the victor.

Speaker 8 (02:19:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:19:22):
The efforts by the Republicans to get the vote out early,
you know, this sort of stop the steal. We need
to overwhelm the Democrats with voters, get out early, vote early.
And you know, the number of Republicans that came out
and voted early, really, I mean historic, you can't even
say anything other than that. So they reduced that in

(02:19:43):
a sea change.

Speaker 29 (02:19:44):
Yeah, in people's thinking, I was thinking about my teenage
years of JFK and LBJ and even Nixon. The Democrats
never lost as badly as they did this time. The
last time they lost this badly was nineteen eighty and
nineteen eighty four, both of Reagan's victories. This is a

(02:20:10):
tumultuous trouncing of them, and it should be laid at
the feet. As I said earlier of Joe Biden. Now,
I'm not a political analyst, as you know. I'm much
more on the theoretical, long term what if side of things.
But living in the world that we live in and

(02:20:31):
having my own podcast and working at Newsmax, you know
you can't there's Chris seeing a squirrel. You can't help
but have opinions and want to share your analysis.

Speaker 3 (02:20:44):
That's mine well and fair enough. It'd be interesting to
see all morning long, all the listeners and my guests
this morning of all share the common belief slash recommendation
that Donald Trump should imediately take the high road, welcome
a open arm a new Republican voters who at minimum
held their nose to vote for him. He did make

(02:21:05):
some significant inroads in the Hispanic community as well as
the Black community. According to the up polling data that's
come out.

Speaker 29 (02:21:13):
I don't think that's in his character. I would advise
him to do the same thing. I would advise him
to call up people like Governor Whitman of New Jersey
and the Congresswoman Cheney and say welcome back.

Speaker 2 (02:21:28):
But that's really not him.

Speaker 29 (02:21:30):
He's far more interested in punishing those who irritated him
than joining him. But maybe we'll see a different Donald Trump.
What will Joe Biden do? Will he invite the Trumps
to the White House. Here's an interesting one for you.
Will he pardon Donald Trump and save him from having

(02:21:50):
to fire his own prosecutor.

Speaker 3 (02:21:54):
It remains to be seen. He's still facing state charges though,
and I don't think the presidential pardon can reach down
to the charges.

Speaker 2 (02:22:00):
No, no, no, it can't, Brian.

Speaker 29 (02:22:01):
He's facing a sentencing on November twenty six, two days
before Thanksgiving. Now I can't imagine that the sentencing will
go forward. If it does, I can't imagine it would
be custodial. The Georgia case will probably proceed without him.
There are sixteen co defendants in that case. The state

(02:22:26):
can try all of them and then either give up
the ghost on Trump. The world will be very different
four years from now, or decide to try him them,
But they certainly can't try him in state court while
he's the president of the United States and the case
is not ready to proceed in the two months remaining
in Biden's presidency.

Speaker 3 (02:22:48):
Well, turning back to your column, what if voting is fruitless?
You ask a lot of rhetorical questions, of course, designed
to get people's juices flowing and to contemplate things. And
one of the ones I highlight what if the fatal
cocktail of big government and democracy ultimately produces dependency. Now
you elaborate on that one, But aren't we there already

(02:23:09):
with the number of people who are led to the
umbilical court of the federal government to basically live, sleep,
and get their clothing and shelter and pretty much everything else.
We've given the people the opportunity to choose not to
work and yet still live quite comfortably by contrast to
the rest of the world.

Speaker 2 (02:23:29):
You know, in a great book by.

Speaker 29 (02:23:33):
An Austrian philosopher I'm looking for it on my shelf
by the name of Hans Hermann hupa Hoppe called democracy
the God that Failed. He argues that when the people
realize that they can legally and peacefully vote themselves a
share of other people's wealth. They will continue to do so.

(02:23:58):
And Jefferson and Hamilton foresaw this. The two of them
hated each other and never agreed in anything except this.
When the public learns that the public treasury has become
a public trough, they will only send to Washington those
who promise to return to them the biggest piece of
the pie. And that's what we have today. The government

(02:24:21):
recognizes no restraint on its power to transfer wealth, to
start wars, to incur death, to cause death, to incur debt,
to spy on everybody, to make a mockery of the
Bill of Rights. The government just recognizes no limits on that.

(02:24:43):
Half of the decisions made in the House of Representatives
are made behind closed doors. The Democrats vote in lockstep
with their leadership. The Republicans vote in lockstep with theirs.
Unlike the Senate, there is no debate whatsoever on the
floor of the House. Each member is given thirty or
sixty seconds. Ask our dear friend, Congressman Messi, how fruitless

(02:25:07):
this is. Some of his most eloquent and articulate speeches
were given to an empty, empty House of representatives because
they all know how everybody's going to vote. No matter
what anyone says, that style of government, secret party oriented,

(02:25:28):
big government, pro war, pro a transfer of wealth will
continue no matter who's in the White House and who
controls the Congress.

Speaker 2 (02:25:37):
That's the thesis of my piece. Anyway.

Speaker 29 (02:25:39):
Now, I wrote that obviously yesterday, before I knew the
outcome of the election. Trump may try some radical things.
He may try to abolish the Department of Education. He
may try to abolish Homeland Security, although I doubt it.

Speaker 2 (02:25:59):
He likes police.

Speaker 29 (02:26:00):
The Department of Onland Security employees one hundred and sixty thousand.
Did you know this plane clothed cops? Wow, that's that's
five times the number of FBI agents there are.

Speaker 6 (02:26:16):
What do they do?

Speaker 2 (02:26:18):
What do federal police do?

Speaker 29 (02:26:20):
They don't direct traffic, they don't investigate crimes.

Speaker 21 (02:26:23):
What do they do?

Speaker 2 (02:26:24):
While we don't know?

Speaker 3 (02:26:28):
Always bringing up interesting points, Judge Unapolitanom, I'm.

Speaker 29 (02:26:32):
Not trying to give the good people of Cincinnati heartburn.
Most of them are probably quite happy at the outcome
of the election.

Speaker 3 (02:26:41):
Oh, I don't know. You can't say that.

Speaker 29 (02:26:43):
My job is to is to stir the pot from
the perspective of a personal beliefs that the Constitution is
supposed to mean what it says.

Speaker 3 (02:26:51):
Well, I will tell you, your honor, if the city
of Cincinnati and the county in which it sits, Hamilton County,
had its way, it would be President Kamala Harris or
President let Kamala Harris H and a whole big blue wave.

Speaker 21 (02:27:03):
Is true.

Speaker 29 (02:27:04):
I thought Cincinnati was a Republican.

Speaker 3 (02:27:06):
Who has not been Republican since Ken Blackwell was mayor
back in the nineties. You got a this is this
is like four.

Speaker 29 (02:27:12):
Decades Dennis did Dennis Coucinich win.

Speaker 3 (02:27:15):
Honestly, I don't know that's it didn't cross my field
of vision.

Speaker 29 (02:27:20):
He was running as an independent, and he told me
he was leading both of his opponents.

Speaker 2 (02:27:24):
He of course, is the former congressman from that district.

Speaker 3 (02:27:28):
Yeah, I know. We have Bernie Moreno is now our
new senator in place of Shared Brown, which is a welcome,
welcome change in my listening audience. So Joe said, no
cacinach lost. So there's a Joe strecker man with them,
with the with the instant Internet search. He can answer
any question on a moment's no, thank.

Speaker 2 (02:27:46):
You Dennis is a longtime friend.

Speaker 3 (02:27:48):
But thank you Joe, Yeah, and thank you your honor.
As we usually do, we'll end the program on Judging Freedom,
your podcast, which is wildly popular, I know because you
have some great guests on and of course always offering
your wonderful commentary and insight.

Speaker 29 (02:28:03):
Who's on today, Oh, I have Colonel Douglas McGregor, Professor
John Meersheimer, Professor Jeffrey Sachsville Giraldi, Aaron Monte have my
first team on today, not to talk politics, but to
talk about Israel, which is really at war with itself
right now, especially after the leak of classified documents showing

(02:28:27):
the Prime Minister Netsigyaho sabotaged the peace negotiations and Ukraine
is dying in slow motion. That's really where we're going today.
But I will ask colonel McGregor if he who was
in the Trump Defense Department, if he expects much difference

(02:28:47):
in American foreign policy in the new Trump Defense Department.
He'll probably say no, because the last thing Donald Trump
said two days ago about the Defense Department was his
shortlist was Tom Cotton.

Speaker 2 (02:29:00):
And Mike Pompeio.

Speaker 29 (02:29:01):
These are classic warhawks running the department. Of Defense, so
World War three get.

Speaker 3 (02:29:08):
Ready from the man in city would lay hands and
solve the conflicts when his first day in office. I've
always been wondering how he was going to accomplish that. Well,
now we have an opportunity to find out. Judge ended
up all Atana, my dear friend. Until next Wednesday, Best
of health, thanks for your commentary.

Speaker 2 (02:29:24):
Back at you, Brian, always a pleasure.

Speaker 3 (02:29:26):
Take care eight forty four or fifty five care. See
the talk station stick around. Got a few more minutes
to talk. If you want to call in, feel free
to do it, but I'll be right back.

Speaker 10 (02:29:34):
