This week's Smither"Vent" begins with . .
. . .
The Senate hearing where Senator Josh Hawley posed a provocative question about whether men can get pregnant. The discussion highlights the confusion and controversy surrounding gender identity, especially in the context of fairness in women's sports. Both speakers express their concerns about the implications of allowing transgender women to compete against biological women, emphasizing the need for safe and fair competition for female athletes. The dialogue also touches on the broader societal implications of these debates, reflecting on how they challenge traditional notions of gender and fairness in competitive environments.
Then Christopher Smitherman discusses the recent protests that disrupted a church service in Minnesota. Christopher expresses his outrage over the protesters' behavior, emphasizing that churches should remain safe havens for worshippers. He argues that the actions of the protesters, which included cursing at parishioners and children, cross a line and should be met with legal consequences. The conversation shifts to a broader commentary on civil rights and the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., where Christopher reflects on the importance of hard work and personal responsibility in achieving success, rather than adopting a victim mentality. He critiques the current state of activism, suggesting that it diverges from the peaceful principles championed by Dr. King.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's seven six fIF five kr CD talk station. Oh,
he's enjoying my Mondays. If for no other reason get
to hear from the former vice mayor of the City
of Cincinnati, Christopher's Smithman and get a smith Event. Fortunately
for me, since I am struggling mightily this morning with
my chemo brain, He's agreed to come on early normally
seven twenty with Christopher Smithman. It is time for an
(00:22):
early chapter of the smith Event. Welcome back, Christopher, and
thanks for joining me early. I appreciate it, I really do.
And congratulations to your daughter Camille on winning the fifty
meters backstroke and the read and the divisions.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Man, it was it was an exciting it was an
exciting time. But before we get to that, let me
extend my prayers to you brother.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Thanks is no joke. And of course I've been listening
to your show.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Yeah, and I apologize for you. I'm not looking for Symbothy.
I'm just trying to explain myself because I really do
not feel as though I am making any sense. But
that's part of the brain fog I've got. I just
it's like I'm in some sort of you know, parallel universe.
That's why I had Joe play moving in stereo by
the cars earlier, because that's exactly see in this morning.
(01:07):
So but I appreciate the the well wishes the Christopher,
I truly do. And for all the others who have said.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Well I'm a text. Yeah, I'm gonna take up the
banner here gladly. There's so much to talk about. I'm
going to start with Senator Josh Howley this Senate hearing
where he was asking an OBG I in a simple
question this week and if people people should google this
because I think it really gives you insight on where
(01:37):
parts of the Democratic Party politically are located in their minds.
But he asked the question simply, can a man get pregnant?
And it stumped her, Like I thought she was going
to say, oh, no, that's impossible. She was like, well,
let me think about that. Why are you asking me
(01:58):
that question? And then the said I thought we were
going to have a discussion about science, and so in
order for us to have that, we just want to
establish something here right upfront. Can men get pregnant? She
refused to answer that question, and on the backdrop of
the Supreme Court justices and The hearing on whether dudes
(02:22):
can be in swimming pools, can be on tennis courts,
can be on soccer fields, you know, can they play
field hockey? You name it? Can dudes compete against women
was debated at the Supreme Court level. I have lived
long enough to see it all. My grandfather, grandmother, our
(02:44):
forefathers are turning over in their graves right now because
we're debating things that are common sense. Right, I can
support which I do the LGBTQ plus community. I do.
I have a son who is gay, I have a
brother who is gay. That's not my issue. My issue
is fairness. Women should have safe places to compete in
(03:10):
the in the in the video that I sent you,
Ryan Thomas, I would not want a dude in the
pool with Camille swimming yesterday for district championships. I don't
want it. I don't. They don't deserve it. De seat
and girls do not deserve it. I don't care what
swim team is out there. You were a swimmer, and
I'm just saying we've really lost our minds in this
(03:32):
past week between the question but from the Senator can
a man get pregnant? The OBG I went ob g
y N would not answer, and the and the Supreme
Court hearing on on dudes playing sports against women. This
was a this was a this was a wacky week.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
It most surely was. And you know, I know what
the left struggles with on this one, because they've been
going around telling everyone who would bother to listen that
by merely declaring that you were the opposite sex, that
we all must we al, must embrace the idea that
you no longer are your former sex, that you are
now if a man claims to be a woman, that
(04:13):
you are now actually a woman. And we know that
is insane, Christopher, And the idea that we're even having
a conversation on this is just mind blowing. You know,
it ain't that difficult. We got chromosomal reality, and they're
in is where the inquiries should stop, period. And this
whole idea about fairness, this whole idea by fairness. Hey, Christopher,
(04:33):
I'm not sure about you, but you know I never
was a basketball player. You know what copedi against men
in basketball? That's a laugh. Five', ten didn't have the,
skills don't even really understand the. GAME i guess it's
unfair THAT i can't join the basketball team because, well,
why well you suck you, KNOW i, mean nobody wants
you on the. Team, man you're gonna be the last
(04:54):
person picked in dodgeball, too for all it. Matters but you,
know it's just it's built into the. Equation some people
excel and others do. Not you have women who have
proven themselves to be the best in their. Sport, yes
along comes some guy with a chromosomal, advantage a size
and string and speed, advantage and takes that away from
(05:15):
her because you AND i are supposed to believe that
that guy is now actually a, woman just because he says.
So and going back to SOMETHING i made a point
of many many, times you say you're a support of
THE lgbtq. Community you got a son who's. GAY i
understand that gay is, sexuality it isn't. Gender And i'm
gonna bring this up again BECAUSE i want someone to
(05:35):
answer this for, Me Christopher. Smith and maybe you're the.
Man if you are a man and you claim to
be a woman and go into the women's locker, room
does that mean that you're not attracted to? Women, no it.
Doesn't you don't.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Know i'm gonna. Say i'm saying you're still a.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Dude you're still a.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Dude dress on and you walk into, that into that.
Shower as a matter of, Fact, brian there are a
lot of men that would just put a dress on
to go into that lit really to shower with ten
or fifty e live in.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Mekid, Right, yeah, YEAH.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I mean if you, can putting on the dress doesn't
change your. Gender and that's what was so profound about
the senator's, question which was just so. Simple he, said
can men get? Pregnant and she refused to answer the.
Question and it's on the ballot for Vek ramaswami who
was running for. Governor, right you just saw this In.
(06:28):
Virginia you, know there were two gubernatorial. Races Barack obattle
went there endorsed THE i have to get in here
to some identity, politics but he endorsed the white female
running against The African american. Woman when he was When
Kamala harris was on the, ballot he was asserting that
(06:49):
if you weren't you're not, black if you weren't Supporting Kamala. Harris,
Right and Sometimes i'm looking At President Barack obama, saying,
dude there was an opportunity to elect for the first
time An African american governor for the. Country and So i'm,
going what are you? Doing and then her first action
we're talking now the right Female democrat who was, elected
(07:13):
was to do what executive orders In virginia to push Out. Ice,
right this is what scares me WHEN i think about
the the Zk ramaswami. Race this is a critical race
state Of. Ohio we must elect the Vek ramaswami in
order for us to protect our common sense. Values dudes
(07:38):
not playing in sports In ohio against our girls and our, women, period.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Period end of. Story and, HONESTLY i think about you,
know if you're a mom or a dad and you've
got a daughter who is participating in one of these you,
know very intensive, sports ones where size and speed and
strength do have a critical, factor is a critical or
or a critical, factor and whether you're going to succeed or,
not how could any one of those parents embrace the
(08:06):
idea of bringing boys in to compete against your. DAUGHTER
i just don't get. IT i really don't.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
THINK i, Mean camille gave up her whole. Holiday h
they have this hell week. Swim you were a, SWIMMER i,
was but you, know how hard it. Is you, know
how hard it is to get up in the freezing
cold go and get in a pool and swim for four.
Hours And Jody schaeffer and their coach At seaton doesn't.
PLAY i, mean the girls are going through a very hard,
(08:34):
regiment you, Know and so you, Know i'm not exactly
you are, right and so to show up to the
pool and have a man or a boy in the
pool From elder or From sanak swimming against, her are
any of the girls from any of the sports. Programs
it's just not. Fair NOTICE i emphasize the word. Fair
(08:56):
women deserve faith places and fairness in their. Sports that's
what this is. About and men shouldn't be. Competing but guess,
what it's on the ballot In, ohio just like it's
on the ballot In, virginia just like it's on the
ballot in the state Of. California we've got to make
sure that we hold the line in this gubernatorial, race
(09:20):
and we're electing the Vek ramaswami to the. STATE i
don't want to wake up and see executive orders saying
that dudes can now compete against our girls and our.
Women we better wake Up, ohio.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yep AND i suspect that's the road that any acton
would travel. Down, immediately we'll continue With Christopher smithman and
the Smither. Van i've got a lot of different things
to talk about With. Christopher seven here fifty Five Krosit Talk,
Station Brian Thomas. Smith Christopher smithman started early With christopher
saving me from my chemo Brain i'm dealing with, today
just real. Quickly you don't need to continue on the subject.
(09:54):
Matter but over the break THERE i Learned Jos drecker
has always been very sad and unhappy because it was
his goal to be a prima ballerina and he just
doesn't have the records of skill sets to be a prima.
Ballerina of, course they don't let men in tutus with toashoes,
Anyhow Christopher, smithman you have the floor where you want to.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Go now, listen, BROTHER i saw you know you know
THAT i am a Devoted.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
CHRISTIAN i know you know, That YES i.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Do of COURSE i always fall. Short my, wife my late,
wife was a Devoted. Christian AND i watched something that
blew me, away and that was What Don lemon did
with the protesters by you, know going in and protesting
yesterday in a church In. Minnesota and if people haven't
(10:47):
seen this, video it is absolutely. Viral and they're going
in and they are cussing out the parishioners during. Service
they're cussing out children during the, Service they're cussing out
women during the. Service they're going off on the pastor
during the. Service we have a right and have protections
(11:11):
over our. Churches they are safe, places they are hard read.
Lines and so to see these protesters going into a
church service and screaming at, people and people are waking
up listening to your show right now and they don't
even know What i'm talking, about but they will by
the time they get to the end of the day
because not that the not that the liberal media is
(11:32):
going to cover. It But i'm telling, YOU i was
really really. Offended there was another scene where the church
goers were walking down the sidewalk and they were cussing
them out as they walked to. Church so these protesters
In minnesota are taking everything to a whole another, level,
Right and they're deciding now that if you're at church
(11:56):
and you're not out protesting with, them then they can
come in your church and they can disrupt your. SERVICES
i think all of them should be arrested. TODAY i
think the federal government should press charges Against Don. Lemon
AND i can't just say how, frustrated, upset DISGUSTED i
(12:17):
was by watching what they did to those church goers.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Yesterday, WELL i know that The department Of justice has
opened an investigation into that church protest to find out
whether civil rights laws were, Violated and sounds to me
like they probably, are but more fundamentally in or. Nefarious
and then are they Anti christian in addition to being
pro illegal immigrant rapist kind of? People are they also
Anti christian that they wouldn't allow a Peaceful christian celebration
(12:46):
well of religion on A.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Sunday on A, Sunday and everybody please listen to this.
Piece churches take this stuff right now really. Serious they
typically have armed, guards they have deacon's deacon if his
people are usually now in our churches are having. Weapons
it's unfortunate because we have people now who are doing
(13:09):
this kind of. Stuff this is really a recipe for.
Disaster they're gonna go into a church because you can't
determine what those people are gonna. Do Brian thomas start
doing it yelling and they start doing. It what happens
when somebody goes into a church Where Brian thomas is.
Worshiping they are walking up to your, wife your, daughter
(13:30):
your son in, law your, son they're cussing you. Out
You're you're, like stand your. Ground you don't know what's gonna,
happen and you decide to draw a weapon and take a.
Life meaning you just don't know when they barged into that.
Church i'm telling, you they're going to do this to
the wrong, church and something bad is going to. Happen
that's what happened.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
One i'm convinced that is exactly what they. Want they
were looking for their their their their martyr in this,
uh in this ice action Against Renee. Good they were
hoping that she would be the ultimate poster child for ice.
Overreaction as it turns, out she floored her car and
hit AN ice. Officer sorry sucks to be. You it's
Like George, floyd he didn't turn out to be this,
(14:10):
perfect harmless individual that you painted him out to be
before you get used him to Formulate Black Lives matter
protests all across this. Country you, KNOW i guess you
got to take your martyrs as you get. Them but quoting,
tool not all martyers c.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Divinity Look Martin Luther, King, Happy Martin Luther. King Martin
Luther king was and is a. Martyr, okay this is
a man who peacefully fought for civil rights in this
country and did it the right. Way and SO i
don't need to make any like oh, well he wasn't
(14:43):
a perfect. Man there aren't perfect. People the reality was
he saw an, injustice he put his life on the
line in this, country and ultimately it made this country
a better. Place you AND i can debate right, now
which is pretty. EASY i think those who are benefiting
from those, MARCHES i Think Martin Luther king would be
(15:05):
incredibly disappointed about what is happening right now in this,
country specifically Around African americans and where our community currently,
is the opportunities that we have and didn't have when
he was marching for. Freedom But i'm gonna tell You
i'm never gonna march as a. Victim i'm not a.
(15:26):
Victim i'm not looking for anybody to give me. Anything
this is a country of. Capitalism hard work is. Rewarded
you get out every, day you start with the, mop
you end up THE. Ceo you start with the, mop
you end up being the president of The United states Of.
(15:47):
America that is what makes this great experiment. Great Doctor
king understood. That he understood. That he, said, listen stop
cheating based on. RAPE i Want African, americans black people
colored the negro at the. TIME i want them to
have the same opportunities as everyone, else as it relates to,
(16:09):
education as it relates to. Economics that's my. Vision racism
is only people. Cheating stop holding my. Jersey i'm doing a.
Layup that's a. Foul you're. Cheating we could say in
The christian, way it's just sin and it's always going
to be. Here but this country is much better today
(16:29):
than it ever was one hundred and fifty years. Ago
but people are still marching around acting as if they're.
Victims we're not rake up every. Day go to, work
contribute to your four oh one k, plans contribute to your.
Iraise make sure you're taking care of your. Families every
baby that you. Make you're the. Daddy take care of your,
(16:52):
children take care of your, wife take care of your,
families take care of your. Grandmothers stop walking around acting
like someody owes you Something the message today From king
is stop being a. Victim you're, not stop the marching
and get to.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Work who continue With Christopher sismith and who is obviously
on quite the role this. Morning i'm thoroughly and j
care see the talk station seven thirty here if you've
GOT carcd talk station having a Good monday talking To
Christopher smithing got some guests in the eight o'clock, our
a whole bunch of, them two authors And Eric conroy
who's running Against Greg Landsmann district. One so looking forward
(17:31):
to Having eric back on the. Show in the. Meantime
more With. Christopher, CHRISTOPH i just have to observe that
give me your comments about Doctor. King content of, character
not color of. Skin we should all strive to be
the best people we can be and let our merit
determine our. Future he would be thoroughly against the whole
concept OF DEEI i presume as.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Well there's no question about it at the at the
because what's all all we're doing now is swinging the.
Pendulum here's here is the. Penicillin go to. WORK i
said it in the last. Segment if you want to
change our, community make our community. Better the message should
(18:12):
be go to. Work, look there's no job that's. Perfect
anybody listening to this who's driving into work on this holiday, saying,
Man i've got to work on this. Holiday yes you.
Do lots of farmers are getting up every. Day they're
already milking their cows at four a. M stop complaining
(18:35):
what a lot? Correct go to, work you, know work.
Hard no one said that, racism, sexism agism doesn't. Exist.
Right All i'm suggesting to everyone is that a man
like a doctor king with his blood and his family
(18:57):
moved a lot of those barriers out of the. Way
and there are other places in the, world as we
can see what's happening In, iran what's going on In.
Venezuela there's no WAY i want to live there as
An African american. Period this is the greatest country on the,
planet and this is why so many people are trying
(19:18):
to come into our. Country we're not going Into cuba right,
Now we're not trying to go To. Columbia we're not
going To. Venezuela and Any american right now On Martin Luther,
king think about this. Right if you don't like our
country and you're An, american give up your citizenship and
get out of here go somewhere. Else that's what you should.
(19:40):
Do you know this notion that you know you can
just burn our flags On mlkday in on this kind
of a, holiday or you can march down through the
streets and urinate on our, flag or you can. Kneel,
yeah you have the right to do all those things
in the great experiment because there are people who died
in Life World war, two so you have the ability
(20:02):
to do something like, that you. Know but the reality
of it is that On Martin Luther King, day we
should be talking about how CAN i be a better?
Father DO i know my? Children AM i paying my child?
Support why is there an open warrn out for my?
Arrest if there's an open warn out for my arrest
BECAUSE i haven't been paying paying child, support stop blaming the.
(20:25):
Woman what you need to do is don't pay your
child support because their children who are. Suffering and this
is what frustrates. Me we have to own these fatherless.
Homes as we talk ABOUT, mlk nothing will turn, Around Brian,
thomas in our, society in our, country In america if
we do not focus on our families and making them.
(20:48):
Stronger and that's not something a cop can, do and
it's not something a teacher can. Do only mom and
dad can do, It Brian, thomas only mom and. Dad
so every speech THAT i hear today that Most i'm a,
victim you're a. VICTIM i hate my country in some
kind of. Way somebody owes me reparations for something that
(21:09):
didn't happen to. Me i'm letting you know right, now
you're off message for Doctor Martin Luther. King he didn't
preach it when he was, alive and he'd be turning
over in his grave if he was watching what was
happening right. Now seventy people murdered In cincinnati last, year
and the super super majority of them are All African.
(21:30):
Americans what would you think Doctor king would say about
the number of black men who are picking up guns
and killing each. Other he wouldn't, say, oh let's blame the,
gun it was the gun's. Fault, no he would, say
there's a deterioration in the community and the family and
the fathers with these boys who are turning into men
who are shooting people at sixteen and fourteen years of.
(21:52):
Age we've got to address this in every speech from
every quarner Of america and stop making excuses for bad.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Behavior, well it's hard to unlearn the religion that most
people have been taught in public, School. Christopher and this
is a pervasive that we are an inherently evil, country
that we're all, bad evil. People we were born of
original sin of racism and, slavery and we aren't worthy of.
Existing now fight that. Challenge try to convince someone who
is a profoundly religious person like. Yourself how long would
(22:21):
it take me to talk you out of Your christian, Faith?
Christopher you'd never give it.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Up.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Ever, well that's what we're fighting in terms of this.
War we're waging against this woke. Leftism they Hate america
and you're not going to convince them. Otherwise and that
is the most disturbing element among all of. This let's
continue With Christopher smithmen right. Now it's seven point thirty.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Seven.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Seven thirty nine here fifty Five Carosit Talk, Station full
Our power With Christopher. Smithmen he is on a roll,
today which is typically the, CASE i think even more so, Today.
Christopher appreciate you coming on the show, today, man as,
Always so what else is bruin in the back of your?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Mind, well, listen, BROTHER i heard you talk earlier about
income taxes and city council locally raised. Tax, okay just
that little, thing, Right, yeah they.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Got a little. Problem this is they got again the
giant hole in the budget described as the predicting a
thirty two million dollar death of deficit this fiscal year
of nothing changes.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Great remind if you, REWIND i THINK i estimated thirty one,
million SO i was off five million or, So so
thirty two million dollars and. Growing AND i want the
public to understand that THE covid money right that they've
been patting the budget with is now. Gone these deficits
(23:47):
were there, before and so the reality here is what
do this council doesn't know how to manage a. Budget.
Now i'm not being facetious WHEN i share this with the.
Public our mayor had his car repode. Twice now he
cannot manage his own personal budget at. Home that is.
(24:10):
Obvious how can you manage a billion dollar? Budget is
anybody surprised that we're facing this kind of? Deficit as
if they didn't know this a year or two years,
ago that this was the projectory of the. Budget the
increase is a way to bail them. Out this has
called a democratic. Bailout and what drives me nuts is
(24:34):
at the same time they'll SAY i care about the poor,
PEOPLE i care about the middle. Class, look if you're a,
renter which most people in the city Of cincinnati are,
renters your rent is going higher because of property taxes and.
Fees so if the city is charging If rumkey is
charging your landlord a fee to pick up your, TRASH
(24:55):
i just paid mine for my. Office it was seven
hundred and twenty five or seven hundred and fifty dollars
for the. Year that's gone up from like two hundred
or three hundred now to seven hundred and twenty five.
Dollars all of these four families around the city are
getting these fees From. Ronkey the landlord isn't going to eat.
It they're going to pass that through to your rent
(25:17):
when their property taxes go, higher right to, you, renters
right who are voting for these. People guess, what the
landlord is not going to eat. That they're going to
pass that through to your. Rent renters act as if
they're not paying the property taxes and the fees and
the income taxes and the sales. Taxes because Our cincinnati
(25:38):
public schools continue to fail them on basic. Economics we're
focused on, calculus and we need to be focused on
two plus two is. Four we need to be teaching
our children out here basic. Trades how to be how
to fix a how to be AN hvac, person how
to be an, electrician how to be a, carpenter be an.
(26:00):
Ironworker it's missing in our public education across The United
states and also specifically in the city Of. Cincinnati and
by the, way those young, People Martin Luther, king if
you're gonna give a speech, today give a speech on public,
education talk about specifically what's happening in the city Of
cincinnati with our, babies who are who are who are
(26:22):
living around and attending schools that are? Failing and why
when The Vick ramaswami, says, hey, LISTEN i want to
make the school system, better why do you why are you?
Scared you know the super majority of children that are
In cincinnati public schools seventy to seventy five percent of,
Them Brian, thomas Are African american right. Period and so
(26:44):
if you're gonna do a seat, today do it on
public education and hold our school board and our teachers
and everybody. Accountable by the. Way we have great teachers
in the public school. System they are held back by the,
Administration they're held back by the school, Board they're held
back by the. System the reality of it is we've
got bad, children very small percentage of. Them let's, say
(27:05):
if they're thirty kids in a, classroom five of them are.
Bad but that teacher can't get rid of those sides
kids because we have a public school system that says
leave no child. Behind that kid is spit on the,
teacher hit the, teacher disrupted the. Class it's, crazy and
you can't get rid of the bad kids in the.
System talk ABOUT. Mlka this is a, problem, Brother this
(27:27):
is where justice has to happen so that Young African
americans and white kids who have access to public. Education
the last Thing i'll, say And i've shut my, mouth
is the best way to get into the middle class
still today is a good. Education and we are failing
our babies right now On Martin Luther king because the
public school systems across The United states continue to fail
(27:50):
our babies at the hands of.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Democrats well fail them in the sense that they are
being left behind by virtue of them not getting an
education and yet being pushed forward to the next. Grade
who's really being left? Behind isn't that child better served
having to take that grade over again so he or
she is equipped with the knowledge and skill sets to
handle the next level. Grade that's the only way to
(28:12):
help those. Children to the extent you push them through
just because it's, OH i don't, know it's not fair
that they're not as smart enough to pass a test or.
Something you're doing them a collective, disservice and ultimately you're
doing the entire country of. Disservice we've got a bunch
of idiots roaming around out.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
There third world countries are beating us right now in.
Education children are walking for miles in the dark to
get an. Education, right they promote and respect their teachers
and their. Society they're at the, top not the, bottom
right as far as respect it as a. Profession i'm
(28:47):
saying to you that our school systems are failing us
and we have to address. It On Martin Luther king's,
birthday let's use the holiday to speak true to. POWER
i don't want to sit around In march Like i'm a.
Victim i'm not a. Victim. Right but what's happening is
so Many African americans Are. Democrats they refuse to challenge
(29:11):
The Democratic party where they are failing, us and they
continue to vote for the same people getting the same.
Results Brian, Thomas i'm saying that our school system needs
a lot of. Work there can't just be Warned Hills
clark and The school For creative And Performing arts for
our babies to go to to get a great education
and be prepared to go into a trade because going
(29:35):
into a, trade, buddy you gotta be.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Smart.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Okay but When i'm searing with, you why aren't we
teaching basic financial literacy in our school? System and why
are we not doing trades in a big way in
our school? System and why are we continuing to allow
our schools to fail and not give our parents a.
Choice this is why The Vick ramaswami to, me is
a much better candidate for the govern of the state Of.
(30:00):
Ohio Meaning Amy atkins shut down the school system to the,
public specifically to The African american community who might be
listening to me On Martin Luther, king what do you
think that did to our babies when they were locked
out for two? Years what do you think that did to?
Them my child was in over In Saint, clement over
(30:21):
In Saint. Bernard they had school every single. Day they
did not shut, down, Right The catholic schools were, open
and the public schools were mad that The catholic schools
were open because they couldn't shut them. Down thank god
they remained. Open Brian, Thomas i'm, saying the woman running
for governor right, now shut down our, schools, right and
(30:44):
also let the liquor stores, open shut down our, churches,
right but, said, hey you can still gamble and go.
Anywhere my point to you is that they were off. Target.
Period our and our adults were dying out here with,
me oh loved ones by their. Side all of this
matters as we talk about the gubernatorial, race our, education the.
(31:06):
Economics how do how do we get businesses to recruit
them to the state Of ohio so we have better?
JOBS i pay. Job all of this stuff matters right,
Now Brian, thomas and On Martin Luther King, day there's
no better day to discuss. It let's hold people, accountable
stop marching as a victim and Say i'm going to
be victorious this. Year i'm gonna be a better. Father
(31:30):
i'm gonna be a better. Uncle i'm gonna be a better.
Nephew i'm gonna make sure that my family is, intact
That i'm working and supporting my kids and every baby
THAT i, Make i'm going to take care of my
baby in twenty twenty. Six that is A Martin Luther
king message THAT i want to hear.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Today Christopher smithman taking it to the next level here
on This Martin Luther King Junior holiday won. MORE a
couple of comments From christopher coming up next TO koway
fifty FIVE krc seven fifty. One if it's Above kercite talk. Station,
hey you're talking about violence, There, christopher at least alluding to.
It we have a breaking story from this. Morning about
ten minutes till four o'clock this, morning sheriff's officer responded
(32:08):
to a. Shooting sixteen year old girl got shot in
the chest and at almost four o'clock in the morning
In Lincoln. Heights fortunately non life threatening injuries and this
young lady actually called nine to one one. Herself but
they do have a suspect and competing. Custody but you,
know it sort of makes you ask a, question how
in the hell is it that someone could justify shooting
(32:29):
a sixteen year old in the.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Chest On Martin Luther king's birth On Martin Luther king's.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Birthday they didn't get the.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Message ALL i will tell you is they didn't get my.
Message and let me let me conclude. Here you, know
these settlements that are coming out of City hall are an.
Abomination you, know people are trying to justify this one
point four million dollar. Settlements, okay we can dance around the.
Issue here are some facts THAT i just want to.
(33:00):
Reiterate you got a man with a, gun a rifle
nine is. Called those officers are responding because someone called
for help and that man had a firearm pointed at our,
officers and our officers unfortunately had to take his. Life,
(33:20):
okay that's the. Fact pattern this city council and this
mayor refused to put twelve in the. Box i'm talking
to your a jury. Trial they're in the dark rooms
with their cigars and they're negotiating this stuff because what
they really are doing is what we call criminal justice.
Reparation they believe that somebody was harmed here and they're
(33:42):
giving out our tax dollars, saying, hey we're gonna give
one point four million to, Them we're gonna give eight
point one million of, them we're gonna give three million to.
Them and they all had, guns and they all had
guns pointed out at Our cincinnati police, officers this, council
and this. Mayor they are completely off the, Rails Brian,
thomas AND i need to see twelve in the, box
(34:06):
meaning the eight point one million dollar. Settlement why didn't
that go to a jury. Trial i'd rather them come
back and say we owe fifteen million dollars and put
it before a jury and let's litigate. It, Right they're Litigating,
Fiji they're Litigating, Washington Chief washington And. Fiji why are
they they're fighting the police in the fire at the
same time they're giving money out to those who are
(34:28):
breaking our. LAW i don't get, it BUT i understand
that this is a political climate that we're, In Brian.
Thomas and if the voters of this great, state of
this great, county of this great city don't wake, up,
right we're gonna look Like. Detroit we're gonna look Like.
Chicago that's where we're. Hitted the, logical common sense everyday
(34:51):
person getting up and going to. Work they're Leaving, cincinnati
they're moving further out in the, county and they're even
moving Into Liberty. Township they are into other. Counties they're, Saying,
Hell i'm gonna go To Butler, County i'm gonna go
To Claremont. County i'm not even gonna live In Hamilton.
County that is what is happening right now because of
these taxes and because of these decisions by this. Council
(35:13):
they're passing resolutions about ice while we have. Potholes they're
passing resolutions about ice and they cannot even get our snow.
Removal they're passing resolutions about ice and they can't even
get our city. Cleaned our city is one of the
dirtiest cities ever across the state Of. Ohio and this
is what frustrates good government. People they can't do what
(35:37):
they're supposed to, do and they're in somebody else's. Business
meaning what happened in another part of the, country whether
it Was George floyd or whether it's this other woman
who got shot in her head trying to run over
an ice, agent it is not the business of this
council and this mayor and this council need to do
the business. Here but guess what elections have. Consequences and
(35:59):
on mlk's, birthday all of this. Matters the content of
my character, matters not my race and how HARD i
work and HOW i love this. Country that's what. Matters ON.
Mlk take care of your, children take care of your,
families make sure you're paying your child. Support can do
your business in the year twenty twenty Six march for.

he's enjoying my Mondays. If for no other reason get
to hear from the former vice mayor of the City
of Cincinnati, Christopher's Smithman and get a smith Event. Fortunately
for me, since I am struggling mightily this morning with
my chemo brain, He's agreed to come on early normally
seven twenty with Christopher Smithman. It is time for an
(00:22):
early chapter of the smith Event. Welcome back, Christopher, and
thanks for joining me early. I appreciate it, I really do.
And congratulations to your daughter Camille on winning the fifty
meters backstroke and the read and the divisions.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Man, it was it was an exciting it was an
exciting time. But before we get to that, let me
extend my prayers to you brother.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Thanks is no joke. And of course I've been listening
to your show.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Yeah, and I apologize for you. I'm not looking for Symbothy.
I'm just trying to explain myself because I really do
not feel as though I am making any sense. But
that's part of the brain fog I've got. I just
it's like I'm in some sort of you know, parallel universe.
That's why I had Joe play moving in stereo by
the cars earlier, because that's exactly see in this morning.
(01:07):
So but I appreciate the the well wishes the Christopher,
I truly do. And for all the others who have said.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Well I'm a text. Yeah, I'm gonna take up the
banner here gladly. There's so much to talk about. I'm
going to start with Senator Josh Howley this Senate hearing
where he was asking an OBG I in a simple
question this week and if people people should google this
because I think it really gives you insight on where
(01:37):
parts of the Democratic Party politically are located in their minds.
But he asked the question simply, can a man get pregnant?
And it stumped her, Like I thought she was going
to say, oh, no, that's impossible. She was like, well,
let me think about that. Why are you asking me
(01:58):
that question? And then the said I thought we were
going to have a discussion about science, and so in
order for us to have that, we just want to
establish something here right upfront. Can men get pregnant? She
refused to answer that question, and on the backdrop of
the Supreme Court justices and The hearing on whether dudes
(02:22):
can be in swimming pools, can be on tennis courts,
can be on soccer fields, you know, can they play
field hockey? You name it? Can dudes compete against women
was debated at the Supreme Court level. I have lived
long enough to see it all. My grandfather, grandmother, our
(02:44):
forefathers are turning over in their graves right now because
we're debating things that are common sense. Right, I can
support which I do the LGBTQ plus community. I do.
I have a son who is gay, I have a
brother who is gay. That's not my issue. My issue
is fairness. Women should have safe places to compete in
(03:10):
the in the in the video that I sent you,
Ryan Thomas, I would not want a dude in the
pool with Camille swimming yesterday for district championships. I don't
want it. I don't. They don't deserve it. De seat
and girls do not deserve it. I don't care what
swim team is out there. You were a swimmer, and
I'm just saying we've really lost our minds in this
(03:32):
past week between the question but from the Senator can
a man get pregnant? The OBG I went ob g
y N would not answer, and the and the Supreme
Court hearing on on dudes playing sports against women. This
was a this was a this was a wacky week.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
It most surely was. And you know, I know what
the left struggles with on this one, because they've been
going around telling everyone who would bother to listen that
by merely declaring that you were the opposite sex, that
we all must we al, must embrace the idea that
you no longer are your former sex, that you are
now if a man claims to be a woman, that
(04:13):
you are now actually a woman. And we know that
is insane, Christopher, And the idea that we're even having
a conversation on this is just mind blowing. You know,
it ain't that difficult. We got chromosomal reality, and they're
in is where the inquiries should stop, period. And this
whole idea about fairness, this whole idea by fairness. Hey, Christopher,
(04:33):
I'm not sure about you, but you know I never
was a basketball player. You know what copedi against men
in basketball? That's a laugh. Five', ten didn't have the,
skills don't even really understand the. GAME i guess it's
unfair THAT i can't join the basketball team because, well,
why well you suck you, KNOW i, mean nobody wants
you on the. Team, man you're gonna be the last
(04:54):
person picked in dodgeball, too for all it. Matters but you,
know it's just it's built into the. Equation some people
excel and others do. Not you have women who have
proven themselves to be the best in their. Sport, yes
along comes some guy with a chromosomal, advantage a size
and string and speed, advantage and takes that away from
(05:15):
her because you AND i are supposed to believe that
that guy is now actually a, woman just because he says.
So and going back to SOMETHING i made a point
of many many, times you say you're a support of
THE lgbtq. Community you got a son who's. GAY i
understand that gay is, sexuality it isn't. Gender And i'm
gonna bring this up again BECAUSE i want someone to
(05:35):
answer this for, Me Christopher. Smith and maybe you're the.
Man if you are a man and you claim to
be a woman and go into the women's locker, room
does that mean that you're not attracted to? Women, no it.
Doesn't you don't.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Know i'm gonna. Say i'm saying you're still a.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Dude you're still a.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Dude dress on and you walk into, that into that.
Shower as a matter of, Fact, brian there are a
lot of men that would just put a dress on
to go into that lit really to shower with ten
or fifty e live in.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Mekid, Right, yeah, YEAH.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I mean if you, can putting on the dress doesn't
change your. Gender and that's what was so profound about
the senator's, question which was just so. Simple he, said
can men get? Pregnant and she refused to answer the.
Question and it's on the ballot for Vek ramaswami who
was running for. Governor, right you just saw this In.
(06:28):
Virginia you, know there were two gubernatorial. Races Barack obattle
went there endorsed THE i have to get in here
to some identity, politics but he endorsed the white female
running against The African american. Woman when he was When
Kamala harris was on the, ballot he was asserting that
(06:49):
if you weren't you're not, black if you weren't Supporting Kamala. Harris,
Right and Sometimes i'm looking At President Barack obama, saying,
dude there was an opportunity to elect for the first
time An African american governor for the. Country and So i'm,
going what are you? Doing and then her first action
we're talking now the right Female democrat who was, elected
(07:13):
was to do what executive orders In virginia to push Out. Ice,
right this is what scares me WHEN i think about
the the Zk ramaswami. Race this is a critical race
state Of. Ohio we must elect the Vek ramaswami in
order for us to protect our common sense. Values dudes
(07:38):
not playing in sports In ohio against our girls and our, women, period.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Period end of. Story and, HONESTLY i think about you,
know if you're a mom or a dad and you've
got a daughter who is participating in one of these you,
know very intensive, sports ones where size and speed and
strength do have a critical, factor is a critical or
or a critical, factor and whether you're going to succeed or,
not how could any one of those parents embrace the
(08:06):
idea of bringing boys in to compete against your. DAUGHTER
i just don't get. IT i really don't.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
THINK i, Mean camille gave up her whole. Holiday h
they have this hell week. Swim you were a, SWIMMER i,
was but you, know how hard it. Is you, know
how hard it is to get up in the freezing
cold go and get in a pool and swim for four.
Hours And Jody schaeffer and their coach At seaton doesn't.
PLAY i, mean the girls are going through a very hard,
(08:34):
regiment you, Know and so you, Know i'm not exactly
you are, right and so to show up to the
pool and have a man or a boy in the
pool From elder or From sanak swimming against, her are
any of the girls from any of the sports. Programs
it's just not. Fair NOTICE i emphasize the word. Fair
(08:56):
women deserve faith places and fairness in their. Sports that's
what this is. About and men shouldn't be. Competing but guess,
what it's on the ballot In, ohio just like it's
on the ballot In, virginia just like it's on the
ballot in the state Of. California we've got to make
sure that we hold the line in this gubernatorial, race
(09:20):
and we're electing the Vek ramaswami to the. STATE i
don't want to wake up and see executive orders saying
that dudes can now compete against our girls and our.
Women we better wake Up, ohio.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yep AND i suspect that's the road that any acton
would travel. Down, immediately we'll continue With Christopher smithman and
the Smither. Van i've got a lot of different things
to talk about With. Christopher seven here fifty Five Krosit Talk,
Station Brian Thomas. Smith Christopher smithman started early With christopher
saving me from my chemo Brain i'm dealing with, today
just real. Quickly you don't need to continue on the subject.
(09:54):
Matter but over the break THERE i Learned Jos drecker
has always been very sad and unhappy because it was
his goal to be a prima ballerina and he just
doesn't have the records of skill sets to be a prima.
Ballerina of, course they don't let men in tutus with toashoes,
Anyhow Christopher, smithman you have the floor where you want to.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Go now, listen, BROTHER i saw you know you know
THAT i am a Devoted.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
CHRISTIAN i know you know, That YES i.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Do of COURSE i always fall. Short my, wife my late,
wife was a Devoted. Christian AND i watched something that
blew me, away and that was What Don lemon did
with the protesters by you, know going in and protesting
yesterday in a church In. Minnesota and if people haven't
(10:47):
seen this, video it is absolutely. Viral and they're going
in and they are cussing out the parishioners during. Service
they're cussing out children during the, Service they're cussing out
women during the. Service they're going off on the pastor
during the. Service we have a right and have protections
(11:11):
over our. Churches they are safe, places they are hard read.
Lines and so to see these protesters going into a
church service and screaming at, people and people are waking
up listening to your show right now and they don't
even know What i'm talking, about but they will by
the time they get to the end of the day
because not that the not that the liberal media is
(11:32):
going to cover. It But i'm telling, YOU i was
really really. Offended there was another scene where the church
goers were walking down the sidewalk and they were cussing
them out as they walked to. Church so these protesters
In minnesota are taking everything to a whole another, level,
Right and they're deciding now that if you're at church
(11:56):
and you're not out protesting with, them then they can
come in your church and they can disrupt your. SERVICES
i think all of them should be arrested. TODAY i
think the federal government should press charges Against Don. Lemon
AND i can't just say how, frustrated, upset DISGUSTED i
(12:17):
was by watching what they did to those church goers.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Yesterday, WELL i know that The department Of justice has
opened an investigation into that church protest to find out
whether civil rights laws were, Violated and sounds to me
like they probably, are but more fundamentally in or. Nefarious
and then are they Anti christian in addition to being
pro illegal immigrant rapist kind of? People are they also
Anti christian that they wouldn't allow a Peaceful christian celebration
(12:46):
well of religion on A.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Sunday on A, Sunday and everybody please listen to this.
Piece churches take this stuff right now really. Serious they
typically have armed, guards they have deacon's deacon if his
people are usually now in our churches are having. Weapons
it's unfortunate because we have people now who are doing
(13:09):
this kind of. Stuff this is really a recipe for.
Disaster they're gonna go into a church because you can't
determine what those people are gonna. Do Brian thomas start
doing it yelling and they start doing. It what happens
when somebody goes into a church Where Brian thomas is.
Worshiping they are walking up to your, wife your, daughter
(13:30):
your son in, law your, son they're cussing you. Out
You're you're, like stand your. Ground you don't know what's gonna,
happen and you decide to draw a weapon and take a.
Life meaning you just don't know when they barged into that.
Church i'm telling, you they're going to do this to
the wrong, church and something bad is going to. Happen
that's what happened.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
One i'm convinced that is exactly what they. Want they
were looking for their their their their martyr in this,
uh in this ice action Against Renee. Good they were
hoping that she would be the ultimate poster child for ice.
Overreaction as it turns, out she floored her car and
hit AN ice. Officer sorry sucks to be. You it's
Like George, floyd he didn't turn out to be this,
(14:10):
perfect harmless individual that you painted him out to be
before you get used him to Formulate Black Lives matter
protests all across this. Country you, KNOW i guess you
got to take your martyrs as you get. Them but quoting,
tool not all martyers c.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Divinity Look Martin Luther, King, Happy Martin Luther. King Martin
Luther king was and is a. Martyr, okay this is
a man who peacefully fought for civil rights in this
country and did it the right. Way and SO i
don't need to make any like oh, well he wasn't
(14:43):
a perfect. Man there aren't perfect. People the reality was
he saw an, injustice he put his life on the
line in this, country and ultimately it made this country
a better. Place you AND i can debate right, now
which is pretty. EASY i think those who are benefiting
from those, MARCHES i Think Martin Luther king would be
(15:05):
incredibly disappointed about what is happening right now in this,
country specifically Around African americans and where our community currently,
is the opportunities that we have and didn't have when
he was marching for. Freedom But i'm gonna tell You
i'm never gonna march as a. Victim i'm not a.
(15:26):
Victim i'm not looking for anybody to give me. Anything
this is a country of. Capitalism hard work is. Rewarded
you get out every, day you start with the, mop
you end up THE. Ceo you start with the, mop
you end up being the president of The United states Of.
(15:47):
America that is what makes this great experiment. Great Doctor
king understood. That he understood. That he, said, listen stop
cheating based on. RAPE i Want African, americans black people
colored the negro at the. TIME i want them to
have the same opportunities as everyone, else as it relates to,
(16:09):
education as it relates to. Economics that's my. Vision racism
is only people. Cheating stop holding my. Jersey i'm doing a.
Layup that's a. Foul you're. Cheating we could say in
The christian, way it's just sin and it's always going
to be. Here but this country is much better today
(16:29):
than it ever was one hundred and fifty years. Ago
but people are still marching around acting as if they're.
Victims we're not rake up every. Day go to, work
contribute to your four oh one k, plans contribute to your.
Iraise make sure you're taking care of your. Families every
baby that you. Make you're the. Daddy take care of your,
(16:52):
children take care of your, wife take care of your,
families take care of your. Grandmothers stop walking around acting
like someody owes you Something the message today From king
is stop being a. Victim you're, not stop the marching
and get to.

and there are other places in the, world as we
can see what's happening In, iran what's going on In.
Venezuela there's no WAY i want to live there as
An African american. Period this is the greatest country on the,
planet and this is why so many people are trying

to come into our. Country we're not going Into cuba right,
Now we're not trying to go To. Columbia we're not
going To. Venezuela and Any american right now On Martin Luther,
king think about this. Right if you don't like our
country and you're An, american give up your citizenship and
get out of here go somewhere. Else that's what you should.
(19:40):
Do you know this notion that you know you can
just burn our flags On mlkday in on this kind
of a, holiday or you can march down through the
streets and urinate on our, flag or you can. Kneel,
yeah you have the right to do all those things
in the great experiment because there are people who died
in Life World war, two so you have the ability
(20:02):
to do something like, that you. Know but the reality
of it is that On Martin Luther King, day we
should be talking about how CAN i be a better?
Father DO i know my? Children AM i paying my child?
Support why is there an open warrn out for my?
Arrest if there's an open warn out for my arrest
BECAUSE i haven't been paying paying child, support stop blaming the.
(20:25):
Woman what you need to do is don't pay your
child support because their children who are. Suffering and this
is what frustrates. Me we have to own these fatherless.
Homes as we talk ABOUT, mlk nothing will turn, Around Brian,
thomas in our, society in our, country In america if
we do not focus on our families and making them.
(20:48):
Stronger and that's not something a cop can, do and
it's not something a teacher can. Do only mom and
dad can do, It Brian, thomas only mom and. Dad
so every speech THAT i hear today that Most i'm a,
victim you're a. VICTIM i hate my country in some
kind of. Way somebody owes me reparations for something that
(21:09):
didn't happen to. Me i'm letting you know right, now
you're off message for Doctor Martin Luther. King he didn't
preach it when he was, alive and he'd be turning
over in his grave if he was watching what was
happening right. Now seventy people murdered In cincinnati last, year
and the super super majority of them are All African.
(21:30):
Americans what would you think Doctor king would say about
the number of black men who are picking up guns
and killing each. Other he wouldn't, say, oh let's blame the,
gun it was the gun's. Fault, no he would, say
there's a deterioration in the community and the family and
the fathers with these boys who are turning into men
who are shooting people at sixteen and fourteen years of.
(21:52):
Age we've got to address this in every speech from
every quarner Of america and stop making excuses for bad.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Behavior, well it's hard to unlearn the religion that most
people have been taught in public, School. Christopher and this
is a pervasive that we are an inherently evil, country
that we're all, bad evil. People we were born of
original sin of racism and, slavery and we aren't worthy of.
Existing now fight that. Challenge try to convince someone who
is a profoundly religious person like. Yourself how long would
(22:21):
it take me to talk you out of Your christian, Faith?
Christopher you'd never give it.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Up.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Ever, well that's what we're fighting in terms of this.
War we're waging against this woke. Leftism they Hate america
and you're not going to convince them. Otherwise and that
is the most disturbing element among all of. This let's
continue With Christopher smithmen right. Now it's seven point thirty.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Seven.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Seven thirty nine here fifty Five Carosit Talk, Station full
Our power With Christopher. Smithmen he is on a roll,
today which is typically the, CASE i think even more so, Today.
Christopher appreciate you coming on the show, today, man as,
Always so what else is bruin in the back of your?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Mind, well, listen, BROTHER i heard you talk earlier about
income taxes and city council locally raised. Tax, okay just
that little, thing, Right, yeah they.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Got a little. Problem this is they got again the
giant hole in the budget described as the predicting a
thirty two million dollar death of deficit this fiscal year
of nothing changes.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Great remind if you, REWIND i THINK i estimated thirty one,
million SO i was off five million or, So so
thirty two million dollars and. Growing AND i want the
public to understand that THE covid money right that they've
been patting the budget with is now. Gone these deficits
(23:47):
were there, before and so the reality here is what
do this council doesn't know how to manage a. Budget.
Now i'm not being facetious WHEN i share this with the.
Public our mayor had his car repode. Twice now he
cannot manage his own personal budget at. Home that is.
(24:10):
Obvious how can you manage a billion dollar? Budget is
anybody surprised that we're facing this kind of? Deficit as
if they didn't know this a year or two years,
ago that this was the projectory of the. Budget the
increase is a way to bail them. Out this has
called a democratic. Bailout and what drives me nuts is
(24:34):
at the same time they'll SAY i care about the poor,
PEOPLE i care about the middle. Class, look if you're a,
renter which most people in the city Of cincinnati are,
renters your rent is going higher because of property taxes and.
Fees so if the city is charging If rumkey is
charging your landlord a fee to pick up your, TRASH
(24:55):
i just paid mine for my. Office it was seven
hundred and twenty five or seven hundred and fifty dollars
for the. Year that's gone up from like two hundred
or three hundred now to seven hundred and twenty five.
Dollars all of these four families around the city are
getting these fees From. Ronkey the landlord isn't going to eat.
It they're going to pass that through to your rent
(25:17):
when their property taxes go, higher right to, you, renters
right who are voting for these. People guess, what the
landlord is not going to eat. That they're going to
pass that through to your. Rent renters act as if
they're not paying the property taxes and the fees and
the income taxes and the sales. Taxes because Our cincinnati
(25:38):
public schools continue to fail them on basic. Economics we're
focused on, calculus and we need to be focused on
two plus two is. Four we need to be teaching
our children out here basic. Trades how to be how
to fix a how to be AN hvac, person how
to be an, electrician how to be a, carpenter be an.
(26:00):
Ironworker it's missing in our public education across The United
states and also specifically in the city Of. Cincinnati and
by the, way those young, People Martin Luther, king if
you're gonna give a speech, today give a speech on public,
education talk about specifically what's happening in the city Of
cincinnati with our, babies who are who are who are
(26:22):
living around and attending schools that are? Failing and why
when The Vick ramaswami, says, hey, LISTEN i want to
make the school system, better why do you why are you?
Scared you know the super majority of children that are
In cincinnati public schools seventy to seventy five percent of,
Them Brian, thomas Are African american right. Period and so
(26:44):
if you're gonna do a seat, today do it on
public education and hold our school board and our teachers
and everybody. Accountable by the. Way we have great teachers
in the public school. System they are held back by the,
Administration they're held back by the school, Board they're held
back by the. System the reality of it is we've
got bad, children very small percentage of. Them let's, say
(27:05):
if they're thirty kids in a, classroom five of them are.
Bad but that teacher can't get rid of those sides
kids because we have a public school system that says
leave no child. Behind that kid is spit on the,
teacher hit the, teacher disrupted the. Class it's, crazy and
you can't get rid of the bad kids in the.
System talk ABOUT. Mlka this is a, problem, Brother this
(27:27):
is where justice has to happen so that Young African
americans and white kids who have access to public. Education
the last Thing i'll, say And i've shut my, mouth
is the best way to get into the middle class
still today is a good. Education and we are failing
our babies right now On Martin Luther king because the
public school systems across The United states continue to fail
(27:50):
our babies at the hands of.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Democrats well fail them in the sense that they are
being left behind by virtue of them not getting an
education and yet being pushed forward to the next. Grade
who's really being left? Behind isn't that child better served
having to take that grade over again so he or
she is equipped with the knowledge and skill sets to
handle the next level. Grade that's the only way to
(28:12):
help those. Children to the extent you push them through
just because it's, OH i don't, know it's not fair
that they're not as smart enough to pass a test or.
Something you're doing them a collective, disservice and ultimately you're
doing the entire country of. Disservice we've got a bunch
of idiots roaming around out.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
There third world countries are beating us right now in.
Education children are walking for miles in the dark to
get an. Education, right they promote and respect their teachers
and their. Society they're at the, top not the, bottom
right as far as respect it as a. Profession i'm
(28:47):
saying to you that our school systems are failing us
and we have to address. It On Martin Luther king's,
birthday let's use the holiday to speak true to. POWER
i don't want to sit around In march Like i'm a.
Victim i'm not a. Victim. Right but what's happening is
so Many African americans Are. Democrats they refuse to challenge
(29:11):
The Democratic party where they are failing, us and they
continue to vote for the same people getting the same.
Results Brian, Thomas i'm saying that our school system needs
a lot of. Work there can't just be Warned Hills
clark and The school For creative And Performing arts for
our babies to go to to get a great education
and be prepared to go into a trade because going
(29:35):
into a, trade, buddy you gotta be.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Smart.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Okay but When i'm searing with, you why aren't we
teaching basic financial literacy in our school? System and why
are we not doing trades in a big way in
our school? System and why are we continuing to allow
our schools to fail and not give our parents a.
Choice this is why The Vick ramaswami to, me is
a much better candidate for the govern of the state Of.
(30:00):
Ohio Meaning Amy atkins shut down the school system to the,
public specifically to The African american community who might be
listening to me On Martin Luther, king what do you
think that did to our babies when they were locked
out for two? Years what do you think that did to?
Them my child was in over In Saint, clement over
(30:21):
In Saint. Bernard they had school every single. Day they
did not shut, down, Right The catholic schools were, open
and the public schools were mad that The catholic schools
were open because they couldn't shut them. Down thank god
they remained. Open Brian, Thomas i'm, saying the woman running
for governor right, now shut down our, schools, right and
(30:44):
also let the liquor stores, open shut down our, churches,
right but, said, hey you can still gamble and go.
Anywhere my point to you is that they were off. Target.
Period our and our adults were dying out here with,
me oh loved ones by their. Side all of this
matters as we talk about the gubernatorial, race our, education the.
(31:06):
Economics how do how do we get businesses to recruit
them to the state Of ohio so we have better?
JOBS i pay. Job all of this stuff matters right,
Now Brian, thomas and On Martin Luther King, day there's
no better day to discuss. It let's hold people, accountable
stop marching as a victim and Say i'm going to
be victorious this. Year i'm gonna be a better. Father
(31:30):
i'm gonna be a better. Uncle i'm gonna be a better.
Nephew i'm gonna make sure that my family is, intact
That i'm working and supporting my kids and every baby
THAT i, Make i'm going to take care of my
baby in twenty twenty. Six that is A Martin Luther
king message THAT i want to hear.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Today Christopher smithman taking it to the next level here
on This Martin Luther King Junior holiday won. MORE a
couple of comments From christopher coming up next TO koway
fifty FIVE krc seven fifty. One if it's Above kercite talk. Station,
hey you're talking about violence, There, christopher at least alluding to.
It we have a breaking story from this. Morning about
ten minutes till four o'clock this, morning sheriff's officer responded
(32:08):
to a. Shooting sixteen year old girl got shot in
the chest and at almost four o'clock in the morning
In Lincoln. Heights fortunately non life threatening injuries and this
young lady actually called nine to one one. Herself but
they do have a suspect and competing. Custody but you,
know it sort of makes you ask a, question how
in the hell is it that someone could justify shooting
(32:29):
a sixteen year old in the.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Chest On Martin Luther king's birth On Martin Luther king's.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Birthday they didn't get the.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Message ALL i will tell you is they didn't get my.
Message and let me let me conclude. Here you, know
these settlements that are coming out of City hall are an.
Abomination you, know people are trying to justify this one
point four million dollar. Settlements, okay we can dance around the.
Issue here are some facts THAT i just want to.
(33:00):
Reiterate you got a man with a, gun a rifle
nine is. Called those officers are responding because someone called
for help and that man had a firearm pointed at our,
officers and our officers unfortunately had to take his. Life,
(33:20):
okay that's the. Fact pattern this city council and this
mayor refused to put twelve in the. Box i'm talking
to your a jury. Trial they're in the dark rooms
with their cigars and they're negotiating this stuff because what
they really are doing is what we call criminal justice.
Reparation they believe that somebody was harmed here and they're
(33:42):
giving out our tax dollars, saying, hey we're gonna give
one point four million to, Them we're gonna give eight
point one million of, them we're gonna give three million to.
Them and they all had, guns and they all had
guns pointed out at Our cincinnati police, officers this, council
and this. Mayor they are completely off the, Rails Brian,
thomas AND i need to see twelve in the, box
(34:06):
meaning the eight point one million dollar. Settlement why didn't
that go to a jury. Trial i'd rather them come
back and say we owe fifteen million dollars and put
it before a jury and let's litigate. It, Right they're Litigating,
Fiji they're Litigating, Washington Chief washington And. Fiji why are
they they're fighting the police in the fire at the
same time they're giving money out to those who are
(34:28):
breaking our. LAW i don't get, it BUT i understand
that this is a political climate that we're, In Brian.
Thomas and if the voters of this great, state of
this great, county of this great city don't wake, up,
right we're gonna look Like. Detroit we're gonna look Like.
Chicago that's where we're. Hitted the, logical common sense everyday
(34:51):
person getting up and going to. Work they're Leaving, cincinnati
they're moving further out in the, county and they're even
moving Into Liberty. Township they are into other. Counties they're, Saying,
Hell i'm gonna go To Butler, County i'm gonna go
To Claremont. County i'm not even gonna live In Hamilton.
County that is what is happening right now because of
these taxes and because of these decisions by this. Council
(35:13):
they're passing resolutions about ice while we have. Potholes they're
passing resolutions about ice and they cannot even get our snow.
Removal they're passing resolutions about ice and they can't even
get our city. Cleaned our city is one of the
dirtiest cities ever across the state Of. Ohio and this
is what frustrates good government. People they can't do what
(35:37):
they're supposed to, do and they're in somebody else's. Business
meaning what happened in another part of the, country whether
it Was George floyd or whether it's this other woman
who got shot in her head trying to run over
an ice, agent it is not the business of this
council and this mayor and this council need to do
the business. Here but guess what elections have. Consequences and
(35:59):
on mlk's, birthday all of this. Matters the content of
my character, matters not my race and how HARD i
work and HOW i love this. Country that's what. Matters ON.
Mlk take care of your, children take care of your,
families make sure you're paying your child. Support can do
your business in the year twenty twenty Six march for.
(36:21):
That i'm not a victim And i'm not An Uncle.

american and Because i'm speaking common sense To African, americans
