We want to give you the real stuff.

Sean, I just want to say, first of all, I have already voted for Vivek Ramaswamy for governor.

I have already voted for him.

And I just want to reflect within one minute and just share with you that COVID recommendations we now know were very wrong, that were coming from the health director, Amy Acton, who is now running for governor.

Yeah.

I do not know why.

voters want to promote her to governor after the poor recommendations she was providing to the state leadership.

has

Great having you on, as always.

Hey, brother.

Thanks for having me on.

You know, I just want to touch on, coming out of the gate, the Vivek Ramaswamy commercial.

Yeah.

That I see all the fake outrage.

about the commercial.

I mean, that in and of itself sealed her fate, didn't it, Christopher?

The commercial says

that this is a mother who says that she doesn't like her or believes that she's lying and that she didn't grow up in a tent.

Now, I'm not here to talk about the commercial.

I'm more here to talk about two things.

Number one, that Republicans who are going to vote for Vivek are still voting for him.

Number one, Democrats creating this false outrage.

They're just so concerned.

I mean, that in and of itself sealed her fate, didn't it, Christopher?

Great having you on, as always.

Hey, brother, thanks for having me on.

You know, I just want to touch on coming out of the gate, the Vivek Ramaswamy commercial that I see all the fake outrage about the commercial.

Let me address a couple of things.

Number one, the commercial never talked about sexual misconduct, making fun or light of anything that happened in his opponent's life.

The commercial says that this is a mother who says that she doesn't like her or believes that she's lying and that she didn't grow up in a tent.

Now, I'm not here to talk about the commercial.

I mean, that in and of itself sealed her fate, didn't it, Christopher?

So that's

true.

And people are going to the grocery store, and they're looking at the cost of red meat.

Um, they're looking at the cost of fish, you know, these, these basically they're looking at the cost of eggs and, and you know, they're, they're filling up their, their grocery carts and going, man, I'm at a hundred dollars already and I have a few things.

So that's, that is absolutely playing out.

But let's also be clear that conservatives are concerned about country, right? Concerned about communism, right? and socialism being a part of the Democratic Party.

I'm a Black American.

And

So, Christopher, what else is going on in your mind this morning?

Brian, crime is on the ballot.

Our safety is on the ballot.

And, you know, the first segment really kind of shows that, you know, as we're trying to operate in our society, we're seeing different things.

And, you know, the notion that, you know, you grew up and I grew up in a period of time where we respected law enforcement.

If we were approached by a cop, And the cop asked us for identification of where we were going.

We provided that information.

Christopher, continue, please.

If we were approached by a cop and the cop asked us for identification or where we were going, we provided that information.

We're not living in a world like that anymore.

And so our safety is literally on the ballot.

Christopher, continue, please.

Am I making this up, or what are your thoughts on all this?

No, I agree with you.

And I think over the last decade, we have seen polls, I'm going to use this word, weaponized in a way that I haven't seen before.

It proved to be true in the last presidential election.

No matter who you were for, the polls were saying that candidate Donald Trump was going to lose and lose really big.

All the polls were showing this.

And that did not bear out on election day in two ways.

And I do believe that there were quite a few Democrats that actually said no to this.

Mm

... it's important to acknowledge, Dan Carroll, that these weren't just girls.

These were men.

These were young boys or men or older teenagers and girls beating up three girls.

It wasn't even a fair fight, right? And so if we know that if this was racially, right, reverse, that you and I and your listening audience would already know about it.

There are people that are listening right now, they don't even know what we're talking about, Dan Carroll, because the local media has really not been highlighting it.

This, by the time we get to Friday, it's gonna hit national news, right? Bec- And it's gonna force the local stations to talk about it.

And h- and how this cannot be a, the top priority for the University of Cincinnati and Cincinnati Police and City Hall is beyond me.

No.

When I talk to my friends, who are independents, they're telling me they're voting for Vivek.

I happen to be a black American, and I'm going to tell you that a lot of my black American friends are voting for Vivek.

And I'm going to tell you the things that they tell me.

They talk about their property taxes.

They talk about the school system, their frustration with Public education, meaning I was educated through public education personally.

Most of my siblings graduated.

That is.

It's always great having you on the program, my friend.

Thank you so much.

What a great letter from a great lawyer and friend, Stephen Gooden.

He's a great guy.

You know, he's bold, and I like that.

He put it out there.

The entire ticket.

Christopher, are you there this morning?

I'm here.

Thanks for having me on, Sean.

The debate... provides the citizens of Ohio an opportunity to hear not just what the candidates' platforms are, but to hear those platforms tested.

Right.

And that part of democracy is so important.

And I think it's disqualifying for the acting team to say that their candidate or her herself says she will not debate Vivek Ramaswamy.

And if you're not willing to, how can we hire you for a job if you're not willing to come in and interview for it?

Always love having you on the program.

Hey, thanks for having me on.

Brian, I really appreciate it.

You know, I usually don't comment on national cases, national things, but I'm going to touch on one this morning that caught my attention, and that's in this Lindsay trial where you have a white woman who killed her three children, Corey, who was five, Dawson, who was three, and Kaylin, who was eight months old.

So she killed all three of her children while her husband was out and about.

And so now we have this trial, and it ended in a hung jury, 11-1.

Now, the one person who held out, people didn't know what the person's race was until recently.

Christopher, you got it, brother.

721 55 care cd talk station it's monday it means it's time for christopher smithman former vice mayor of the city of cincinnati venting his spleen in the segment we always call the smith event christopher welcome back my friend always love having you on the program

hey thanks for having me on brian i really appreciate it um you know i usually don't comment on national cases, national things, but I'm going to touch on one this morning that caught my attention, and that's in this Lindsay trial, where you have a white woman who killed her three children, Corey, who was five, Dawson, who was three, and Kaylin, who was eight months old.

And so now we have this trial, and it ended in a hung jury, 11-1.

Now, the one person who held out, people didn't know what the person's race was until recently.

And so this person is African-American, African-American male, and an African and a male Republican.

And so now all of this is kind of pouring out, and people are like, how dare you be the holdout, da-da-da-da-da.

Christopher, you got it, brother.

Always love having you on the program.

So she killed all three of her children while her husband was out and about.

And so now we have this trial, and it ended in Hungary, 11-1.

Appreciate you coming on the show.

How are you?

Good morning, Sean.

Thanks for having me on.

And I've been listening to your show.

like I do on Saturday mornings, you know, one of the things that comes to my mind this morning is elections have consequences.

Amen.

And people really have to think about voting.

Yeah.

That's where you raise your kids, right?

I sure did, and sent them to Cincinnati public schools except my daughter, right? And that was during COVID when Cincinnati public schools closed down, shut everything down, you know? I'm blessed that our family is Catholic, and we found a Catholic school over in St.

Bernard and then went on into Seton.

But the bottom line is the reality of it is you have this push within the Democratic Party right now.

With these white liberals, and I don't want to do this broad brush because it's not all of them, but they come and try to tell black Americans what's good and right for us.

Black Americans, in my opinion, better wake up and start voting their interest and not their party.

meaning I need a city government that prioritizes police because overwhelmingly or disproportionately, the crime is happening in black neighborhoods, right? So if you're a rational person, you're not waking up going, hey, man, I want a police force that's light or low.

And it doesn't seem to be the case from what we know yet, but yet the authorities haven't released the police video of it, and they haven't released the guy who was arrested, his camera video, which would show him holding the camera walking up to her.

yep

black americans in my opinion better wake up and start voting their interest and not their party meaning I need a city government that prioritizes police because overwhelmingly or disproportionately, the crime is happening in black neighborhoods, right? So if you're a rational person, you're not waking up going, hey, man, I want a police force that's light or low.

I don't want them doing proactive policing.

No, black neighborhoods where the crime is high, we want policing.

That doesn't say we want police officers who are not trained.

It doesn't say that we want police officers doing things that are bad.

But my point is that liberals, whether they're black or white, when you start saying you support the police.

And it doesn't seem to be the case from what we know yet, but yet the authorities haven't released the police video of it, and they haven't released the guy who was arrested, his camera video, which would show him holding the camera walking up to her.

That's where you raise your kids, right? Yeah.

I sure did, and sent them to Cincinnati public schools except my daughter, right? And that was during COVID when Cincinnati public schools closed down, shut everything down, you know? I'm blessed that our family is Catholic, and we found a Catholic school over in St.

Mm-hmm.

And so what you're having is a discussion by the Democratic Party who wants you to believe that other candidates, uh, whoever they are across the ticket, but if they're specifically Republicans, that they're against collective bargaining and they're gonna change the law in some kinda way, which is insane.

Okay? Here's what I wanna say to those union workers out there, those iron workers, those carpenters, those bricklayers, those electricians out there, um, as examples, um, that who are in skilled trades, right? Where your, where your unions, the AFL-CIO, might be trying to tell you through those sample ballots to not vote for Vivek Ramaswamy or not vote for this particular Republican or only vote for Democrats.

This race is not about collective bargaining.

The race in Ohio is about socialism and communism coming to our state.

That is what this race is about.

And those union workers and their fathers and their grandfathers who fought in World War II, that generation that you highlight all the time, Brian Thomas, on your show, that's dying off, that they have an obligation to hold the line in Ohio.

Yeah, yeah

lately

i'm doing good thanks for thanks for having me on brian i really want to jump in Because I know we have limited time.

And I want to highlight because, you know, a week ago I said, hey, Jerry Maguire, those moments will begin to happen after Labor Day weekend.

And so, you know, I've been watching Amy Atkins' running mate.

And, you know, as he's putting out information, he is working very hard to to define Vivek Ramaswamy as something as other, quote, unquote, other, right? This is the dog whistle that he's really not an Ohioan.

He's really not an Ohio State fan.

Matter of fact, the message that went out is he looks like a Texan.

Christopher, what else is on your mind today, my friend?
