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

she's out of school, she's handling her business. My understanding

A promise that was made, and nonetheless in the West End,

And then the clowns. We've got clowns down there at
(10:18):
city Hall. That's what we have, brother, We have clowns
down there at city Hall that care nothing about African Americans.
They pimp us out every single day. The Democratic Party
pimps us out every time there's an election. Weneath the
black vote. We're gonna do this, We're gonna do that.
They break every single promise. Then they spit in the
(10:40):
face of Republicans and Conservatives and independence and libertarians who
actually care, who want to help, want want want people
to say, hey, we want to provide opportunities for you.
We want to be responsive. I guarantee you. If my
friend Corey Bowman was the mayor there'd have been cameras
there the next day. I guarantee you if brad Winstrop
(11:02):
had been the mayor, there would have been cameras there already.
The problem here is African Americans are confused. Lyndon Johnson
put it together. He said he was gonna put a
program together that made sure that African Americans voted for
Democrats for two hundred years, and he did it. And
we're sleep at the wheel when eleven year old girls
(11:25):
are being murdered on playgrounds and you have a mayor
and a council doing nothing.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Brian Thomas, Well tell you what I really wish you
were a little more passionate about this, Christopher Smith, Aman,
let's bring it back for one more segment before we
get to Hamilton Township Police Chief Scott Hughes with his
opinion on the violence over the past couple of weeks.
One more with Christia.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Abram fifty five KRS the talk station.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Seven forty one here fifty five KRC DE talk station
one more and he is venting without question today Christopher SMITHMA,
this with a smith Man. We're gonna hear from Hamilton
Township Police Chief Scott Hu's in the next segment, Christopher, again,
the floor is yours.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Well. I think the chief for his service and his
commitment and all his officers and all peace officers across
our country. But as you're about to interview him, I'm
going to switch and just say, you know, I want
to be clear. I support the administration for capturing Madura. President.
He's not president, he's a he's a dictator. And the
(12:26):
language is important because he stole the election. He wasn't
the president. There was an election of free election, and
I assume that when that election happens again that the
rightful person will be elected in Venezuela. But what blows
me away are these protests. It's hard to watch these
people that are walking around acting like all of these
(12:48):
people who are protesting around the world, not the country,
Venezuelan's Cubans, Colombians, Latino people. The Latin community is excited
about the all of this dictator because of all the
things that he has done. The murder, the rate, the prostitution,
the drugs, the political prisoners, it's all insane in the
(13:13):
Western hemisphere, and we finally had a president that had
the kahunas to go in and Shay look guy, not
in my backyard. This is not gonna happen here. Columbia
better worry about it. Mexico better worry about it. Cuba
obviously is in trouble because their oil is going to
be cut off. Yeah, and you got a Cuban who's
the secretary of State. If you watch that press conference, listen,
(13:37):
he's not playing. He is Cuban. He said, I'm going
to clean this up before I get out of here.
So the reality of it is, and you already see
Cuban saying we want the fall of Cuba. We want
Cuba to be a free country. Here's what's crazy. What
is going on with these people that are out here
protesting holding flags from Venezuela. They're not Venezuelans. They have it,
(14:00):
probably couldn't even tell you where it is on a map.
But the reality of it is they're out there saying
the president did something that was bad, even though the
super super super super majority of the world, including those
who are directly impacted, are saying this was a great thing.
Are they listening, Brian Thomas, what the hell is going on?
What am I watching on TV? What am I missing?
(14:22):
When I see people out protesting saying this was a
bad thing. This was a drug lord. There was an indictment.
I've been listening to your show. This was an indictment
the DEA. It was carried out by the president. This
man was pulled out of his bed with his wife
and he's going to be arrained this morning for justice
for his crimes. This is what this was out. Nobody
(14:43):
was killed. Our elite teams did a great job. We
commend the military and everything that they did over the weekend.
I'm just saying, I'm not talking about regime change. I'm
not talking about oil that Russia and China and Iran
are down there taking anyway any or anyway they're taking it.
The reality of it is, this was a terrible guy,
(15:05):
a dictator that we had a worn out for his arrest.
And I've been listening to your show. Guy, I'm glad
his buddy's in jail.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Well got to remember, though he was a Marxist slash socialist.
He was there, Darwin for a long time on the
heels of Chavez. It was one of those countries that
was held out as an example to be followed. Bernie,
you know, Bernie Sanders like were all just praising about
the whole idea of the concept that're going on there.
Marxists are willing to overlook the crimes of their Marxist leaders.
(15:32):
Look at Russia, the history of the murders that are
committed in the name of Marxism and socialism. It's happened
all over the world. They've killed more people in the
name of their ideology than any other ideology out there.
They're not willing to hold their their Marxists accountable for
anything that they've done wrong. And I think that's where
this is coming from. So I don't know, Christopher, I
(15:53):
don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Man. I'm watching the mayor of New York come out,
and I tell you, this is a very dangerous time
because it's so serious. You see Venezuelans who are challenging
these protesters. I am worried that this is going to
turn into a toxic, violent situation because they don't know
what they're playing with. They hate the president so much,
(16:14):
no matter what he does, no matter how successful he is,
no matter if this was in the best interest. Meaning
Democrats just two to four years ago were saying they
want him out of there. Now all of a sudden,
they're supporting him. They put a fifty million dollars baffling
on them, and ultimately this president went out and executed
what they said they wanted. Now they're out protesting, saying
(16:35):
everything is bad. I'm just saying to you, Brian Thomas,
this is the complete insanity where people say, people have
this derangement about our current president. You have to be
able to have sense and say when things you like
are happening, it makes sense you should be out there
commending him. You shouldn't be out there trying to destroy America,
destroy our flag. I'm letting you know, brother, the Venezuelan
(16:57):
people are so excited about the possibilities of their freedom.
I hope it goes well. I pray it goes well.
But this was one hell of a step one balls.
He moved from the president, the executive of our country
to go in and snack this man straight out of
his bed with his wife and bring him back to
New York and arrain him on Monday. And I commend
(17:18):
this administration for what they did.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Christopher Smithing, always a pleasure hearing from me, and I
appreciate the passion behind your arguments and comments this morning.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Love you, brother, Love you too, man.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Yeah, Happy New Year, Looking forward to another New Year
conversation All year long, forty seven right now stick around
Hamilton Township Police Chief Scott Hughes
