1
00:00:03.319 --> 00:00:05.639
<v Speaker 1>K City Talks station and starting a few minutes late

2
00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:08.160
<v Speaker 1>in my apologies too for a vice mayor of the

3
00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:10.160
<v Speaker 1>city of Sin Saint Christopher smith Man got into the

4
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:13.640
<v Speaker 1>conversation with Stephan about that book and went a little

5
00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:17.000
<v Speaker 1>bit long. Christopher, welcome back to the morning show, my friend.

6
00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Happy Monday to you.

7
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:23.079
<v Speaker 2>Happy Monday, Brian. I get on and I don't even

8
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:27.359
<v Speaker 2>know where to start, but I will start with the

9
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:31.359
<v Speaker 2>murder of the CEO of United Health in New York.

10
00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:34.719
<v Speaker 2>And first, you know, my condolences go out to his family,

11
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:40.679
<v Speaker 2>his children as they go into the holiday season. What

12
00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:46.679
<v Speaker 2>a devastating time for his wife, the CEO's parents. I'm

13
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:51.200
<v Speaker 2>sure he's an uncle and people are just mourning his death.

14
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:59.439
<v Speaker 2>And to see elected officials like Bernie Sanders indicate that

15
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:05.040
<v Speaker 2>there is any justification for this assassination, this murder of

16
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:08.040
<v Speaker 2>a human being in the early mornings on the New

17
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:12.560
<v Speaker 2>York streets is absolutely outrageous and insane. Yeah, and to

18
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:15.879
<v Speaker 2>say that there is a go fund Me account out

19
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.400
<v Speaker 2>there where people are raising money and acting as if

20
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:22.680
<v Speaker 2>this guy is some kind of hero. I don't even

21
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:26.719
<v Speaker 2>want to say his name. He's not that he's a coward,

22
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:31.640
<v Speaker 2>he's a murderer. He didn't face this man face to face.

23
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:35.040
<v Speaker 2>He gave him no chance to live. He shot him

24
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:38.799
<v Speaker 2>in his back. He's a coward. And it is amazing

25
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:41.840
<v Speaker 2>to me that we have any elected officials in the

26
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:44.879
<v Speaker 2>United States of America that we have elected to Congress

27
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:47.599
<v Speaker 2>that would come out and justify such a murder.

28
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:51.519
<v Speaker 1>Alexander Casio Cortez I gave her quote earlier, sounds like

29
00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:55.200
<v Speaker 1>she's all about it. I mean, I'm with you, Christopher,

30
00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:57.599
<v Speaker 1>and you know the I don't know what purpose this

31
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:00.879
<v Speaker 1>is supposed to serve, not only just killing this man,

32
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:04.400
<v Speaker 1>shooting in the back as if murdering the figurehead the

33
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:07.439
<v Speaker 1>CEO of any given insurance company is somehow going to

34
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:10.159
<v Speaker 1>change the dynamic, but as sure as hell does create

35
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:13.199
<v Speaker 1>a threat of fear and worry and concern among so

36
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:14.960
<v Speaker 1>many other people who should be able to go ahead

37
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:18.240
<v Speaker 1>and live their life and work within the system that

38
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:23.159
<v Speaker 1>the government created through all their edicts and mandates and regulation.

39
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Anybody wonders how expensive health insurance is, or rather healthcare

40
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:31.479
<v Speaker 1>generally speaking, needn't look at Brian Thompson. They need to

41
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:34.599
<v Speaker 1>look at the government who created all of this nonsense.

42
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:38.439
<v Speaker 2>And you know, this has to put a panic on

43
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:43.759
<v Speaker 2>anybody out there, whether they're a CEO, whether they are

44
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:48.240
<v Speaker 2>a public figure like yourself. It has to bring like

45
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:51.319
<v Speaker 2>a real alert for all of us that this guy

46
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:56.240
<v Speaker 2>is hiring a top lawyer, you know, he's fighting to

47
00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:58.759
<v Speaker 2>go back to New York, and that there's anybody on

48
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:02.360
<v Speaker 2>the planet. I've been so disappointed about what I've been

49
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:05.960
<v Speaker 2>reading on the internet over the weekend, that anybody is

50
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:08.759
<v Speaker 2>justified this kind of murder. It just makes no sense

51
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:09.039
<v Speaker 2>to me.

52
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Well, I brought up the article I saw earlier. There's

53
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:18.159
<v Speaker 1>this this socialist apparel brand, clothing brand called Comrade Workwear,

54
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:21.439
<v Speaker 1>and the head of that company, the founder, James harr

55
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:23.879
<v Speaker 1>he called this guy a hero. Says he's a hero

56
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:26.719
<v Speaker 1>and he's creating You remember, remember the playing cards of

57
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:29.240
<v Speaker 1>the US soldiers carried around when they were fighting the

58
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:31.199
<v Speaker 1>war in Iraq. And don't tell me whether that was

59
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:33.599
<v Speaker 1>justifiable or not, but that's what they did. So they

60
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:35.800
<v Speaker 1>had the pictures of the guys that they were looking for.

61
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:38.080
<v Speaker 1>I understand why I gave him something to do. They

62
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:39.680
<v Speaker 1>could play cards, but they also would be able to

63
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:41.599
<v Speaker 1>see these guys, so if they ran into them on

64
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:42.599
<v Speaker 1>the streets of Iraq.

65
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:43.879
<v Speaker 3>They know who they're after.

66
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:47.439
<v Speaker 1>Well, comrade, Workwear is putting together its own packet of

67
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:50.400
<v Speaker 1>cards to include all kinds of CEOs from a whole

68
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:54.000
<v Speaker 1>variety of different industries. I mean, is that not just

69
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:56.520
<v Speaker 1>sort of begging people to go out and commit horrific

70
00:03:56.639 --> 00:03:59.879
<v Speaker 1>acts of violence like the murderer we're talking about here.

71
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:02.639
<v Speaker 3>To Christopher, it absolutely does.

72
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:06.639
<v Speaker 2>Brian Thomas and those people should be held accountable if

73
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:10.400
<v Speaker 2>or when there's an attempt or it happened. And I

74
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:13.159
<v Speaker 2>just say, I'm hoping you're listening, audience. I know that

75
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:17.399
<v Speaker 2>they're they're understanding and with us on this, but we've

76
00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:19.800
<v Speaker 2>got to call it out. People will say, well, what

77
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:21.560
<v Speaker 2>can I do when you see it on the internet

78
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:24.639
<v Speaker 2>called out? Say that it's outrageous and over the top.

79
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:28.399
<v Speaker 2>Don't allow those kind of words just to hang out

80
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:31.720
<v Speaker 2>there without us challenging them, because it puts our society

81
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:35.920
<v Speaker 2>at risk. This was a horrific murder. It fell on

82
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:41.920
<v Speaker 2>the backdrop of the hero mister Penn, who saved the

83
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:45.040
<v Speaker 2>lives clearly of people on that train. New York is

84
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:47.600
<v Speaker 2>out of control. It's why I don't want to visit.

85
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:50.560
<v Speaker 2>It's why people are leaving New York because they are

86
00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:55.160
<v Speaker 2>concerned about their basic safety. This is just another example.

87
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:58.720
<v Speaker 1>All true, But let me observe because while there are

88
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:03.399
<v Speaker 1>these outrageous, you know of louding and praising claims that

89
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:05.800
<v Speaker 1>this guy did the right thing and you know, he's

90
00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:10.839
<v Speaker 1>just fighting back against this system or whatever, I really

91
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:13.120
<v Speaker 1>truly believe it's almost as if, like when you look

92
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:16.519
<v Speaker 1>back in the election, Donald Trump won the popular vote

93
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:18.639
<v Speaker 1>in spite of the fact that twenty four hours a day,

94
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:21.360
<v Speaker 1>seven days a week, all we heard from media and

95
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:25.519
<v Speaker 1>social media and online posting was evil Trump, fascist, going

96
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:28.240
<v Speaker 1>to ruin democracy. It's awful, the world's gonna come to

97
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:30.439
<v Speaker 1>an end. And you thought the whole world felt that way.

98
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:32.639
<v Speaker 1>And in spite of the fact that Kamala Harris came

99
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:36.800
<v Speaker 1>across as such a profound, blithering idiot that somehow she

100
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:39.720
<v Speaker 1>might win the election, because they had instilled in vast

101
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:43.120
<v Speaker 1>majority of American people the idea that Trump was somehow

102
00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:48.040
<v Speaker 1>well dangerous to the country. Look what happened, you know what,

103
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:52.680
<v Speaker 1>all those echoing and all those voices, well got a

104
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:56.560
<v Speaker 1>bit of a SmackDown, now, didn't they. So we can go, hmm, maybe,

105
00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:00.879
<v Speaker 1>just maybe that those voices were small, they were a minority,

106
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:04.360
<v Speaker 1>and they were elevated by social media in spite of

107
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:06.639
<v Speaker 1>the fact that most of us we either kept our

108
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:10.040
<v Speaker 1>mouths shut or you know, maybe our voices were suppressed.

109
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Any words of support for Donald Trump, Nah, those didn't

110
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:14.319
<v Speaker 1>quite make it to the top, but boy, they would

111
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:16.920
<v Speaker 1>advance the ones that demonize Trump as being some sort

112
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:21.079
<v Speaker 1>of whatever fill in the blank demon And in this case,

113
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:25.160
<v Speaker 1>it's outrageous that I believe and you believe, people would

114
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:28.000
<v Speaker 1>call this guy a hero. And you see a lot

115
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:30.720
<v Speaker 1>of it, but the idea that someone would call me

116
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:34.040
<v Speaker 1>a hero is so outrageous that that message is being

117
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:38.120
<v Speaker 1>repeated a lot to give it the impression that a

118
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:40.519
<v Speaker 1>lot of people believe it was the right, honorable thing

119
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:42.639
<v Speaker 1>to do to murder this man by shooting him in

120
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:44.639
<v Speaker 1>the back. And I personally don't believe that the vast

121
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:47.720
<v Speaker 1>majority of Americans feel that way at all. The squeaky

122
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:52.680
<v Speaker 1>wheel gets the grease, the outrageous stories get the most coverage,

123
00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:54.560
<v Speaker 1>and I think that's what we're working through right now,

124
00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:55.920
<v Speaker 1>at least I'd like to believe it.

125
00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:00.519
<v Speaker 2>I agree with you, and I think this is why

126
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:07.040
<v Speaker 2>the narrative in the last election was the Democratic Party

127
00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:10.399
<v Speaker 2>left me. I didn't leave them, and so many people

128
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:13.879
<v Speaker 2>said listen, you're going and have gone too far. This

129
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:17.319
<v Speaker 2>is just yet another example of why the election turned

130
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:20.839
<v Speaker 2>out the way it did, and another example why these

131
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:24.839
<v Speaker 2>congressional members still have not learned their lesson that they

132
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:29.480
<v Speaker 2>must embrace humanity in common sense. A man was murdered,

133
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:32.439
<v Speaker 2>this is the Christmas holidays. What do you think his

134
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:36.959
<v Speaker 2>wife and his children, and his parents and grandparents are

135
00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:40.959
<v Speaker 2>thinking today when they can look and hear elected officials say, hey,

136
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:46.399
<v Speaker 2>this was a justified murder by your elected officials. So

137
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:49.079
<v Speaker 2>am I talking about the everyday person out there? I'm

138
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:52.360
<v Speaker 2>talking about people who are in Congress?

139
00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Yes, excellent point. Let's pause, will bring Christopher smithling back

140
00:07:57.800 --> 00:07:59.879
<v Speaker 1>for more. Smith evan former vice mayor of the City

141

<v Speaker 1>is Cincinnati, always making some extraordinarily logic and reasonable comments,

142
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:10.680
<v Speaker 1>which is why I love having money. Seven nine's about

<v Speaker 1>My Monday's are always happy because get to talk to

145
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:19.360

00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:21.759
<v Speaker 1>get the smither van coming up off top of our news.

147
00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Not sure what we're talking about, but we are going

148
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:26.600
<v Speaker 1>to do money Monday with Brian James, Joe Streker on

<v Speaker 1>vacation and the board being great wonderfully covered by Sean McMahon.

150
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:33.159
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate what you're doing today, Sean Christopher or what

151
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:34.159
<v Speaker 1>else is on your mind?

152
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:35.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I got it. Did you have a good weekend?

153
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:37.039
<v Speaker 3>By the way, I didn't ask you that coming.

154
00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:39.879
<v Speaker 2>Out of the gate had a good weekend. I had

155
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:42.399
<v Speaker 2>a good weekend, Brian Thomas. Let me share this with you, brother.

156
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:46.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to do my best to connect these dots

157
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.320
<v Speaker 2>of the Amazon ceo giving a million dollars for the

158
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:55.480
<v Speaker 2>inauguration for President elect Trump, the Google ceo giving a

159
00:08:55.519 --> 00:09:00.360
<v Speaker 2>million dollars, and the Facebook now called Meta give a

160
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:04.440
<v Speaker 2>million dollars to the inauguration of Donald Trump. Now this

161
00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:09.039
<v Speaker 2>these are some of the most left platforms in the

162
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:13.440
<v Speaker 2>entire globe. And the cancel culture. This is what I

163
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.559
<v Speaker 2>think of when I saw that would normally cancel their

164
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:20.240
<v Speaker 2>neighbor outs, their neighbor had on a Trump had or

165
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:23.679
<v Speaker 2>had a Trump sign up, or their family members out

166
00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:26.360
<v Speaker 2>there that are saying, you know, I don't want to

167
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:29.320
<v Speaker 2>come to Christmas dinner because you supported Trump. In some

168
00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:33.519
<v Speaker 2>kind of way. Think of the pathology of the platforms

169
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:37.480
<v Speaker 2>that these left people use every day that each of

170
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:41.799
<v Speaker 2>their CEOs have personally donated a million dollars. As I

171
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:46.080
<v Speaker 2>stand here this morning to the inauguration of President elect Trump,

172
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:48.919
<v Speaker 2>and they are saying nothing about it. They're not saying

173
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:53.320
<v Speaker 2>they're canceling their Facebook posts or canceling their positions or

174
00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:56.200
<v Speaker 2>their Google They're never going to use Google Map ever again.

175
00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:58.200
<v Speaker 2>They're saying. They're not saying I'm not going to shop

176
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:01.960
<v Speaker 2>on Amazon anymore. We're going to boycott them. You hear

177
00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:08.039
<v Speaker 2>nothing as the left voices of the Amazons, the Facebooks,

178
00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:12.000
<v Speaker 2>now Meta and Google are all lining up giving a

179
00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:15.120
<v Speaker 2>million dollars apiece. And you will see this happen from

180
00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:17.840
<v Speaker 2>the West coast as we get closer and closer to

181
00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:21.799
<v Speaker 2>January twentieth. They are nothing but a bunch of hypocrites.

182
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:25.600
<v Speaker 2>And I'm connecting these dots because you got the guy

183
00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:28.240
<v Speaker 2>out there on the farm who said on a bill

184
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:30.159
<v Speaker 2>of hay, on his round beel of hey saying, hey,

185
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:33.159
<v Speaker 2>I support Trump, has no money in it other than

186
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:36.720
<v Speaker 2>their vote and their support. But you've got these multi

187
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:40.919
<v Speaker 2>multi millionaires and billionaires who are giving millions of dollars

188
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:44.879
<v Speaker 2>to Trump now kissing the ring because he won the presidency,

189
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:47.720
<v Speaker 2>even with all of the lives of their platform, and

190
00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:52.200
<v Speaker 2>you hear crickets from the left, we really got my goat.

191
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:54.960
<v Speaker 1>I imagine I can hear it in the ton your voice.

192
00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:57.919
<v Speaker 1>But don't you think you know? And I don't know.

193
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:01.159
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea. But those of these that you mentioned,

194
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:06.799
<v Speaker 1>I bet probably contributed handsomely to Kamala Harris's campaign, probably

195
00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:10.159
<v Speaker 1>more than the individual million dollar donations they're making for

196
00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:12.960
<v Speaker 1>the inauguration. Do you think they're trying to buy some

197
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:16.960
<v Speaker 1>love for the Trump administration knowing full well that they

198
00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:21.879
<v Speaker 1>might be investigated for elevating or deplatforming certain speech on

199
00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:22.919
<v Speaker 1>their various sites.

200
00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:25.200
<v Speaker 3>Christopher, I think.

201
00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:28.720
<v Speaker 2>It's fair to call it political prostitution. Now, yeah, I do.

202
00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:35.080
<v Speaker 2>I do. And what insenses me is again the hypocrisy

203
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:37.919
<v Speaker 2>that they can go and give these millions of dollars

204
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:40.559
<v Speaker 2>and this won't be the only donation they make. Their

205
00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:43.279
<v Speaker 2>packs will weigh in like you were indicating, and they're

206
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:45.480
<v Speaker 2>going to come in with five and ten and fifteen

207
00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:50.360
<v Speaker 2>million dollars paying off any bet that President elect Trump has.

208
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:54.080
<v Speaker 2>But you will not hear a word from the left. Now,

209
00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:57.399
<v Speaker 2>what was also bizarre or what this big win that's

210
00:11:57.399 --> 00:11:59.919
<v Speaker 2>been kind of quiet on the media was this fifty

211
00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:03.440
<v Speaker 2>teen million dollars settlement from ABC. I think his name

212
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:10.960
<v Speaker 2>was Stephilopsis. That camp okay, So he said these comments

213
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:14.480
<v Speaker 2>during the election that Trump had raped somebody this case

214
00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:17.919
<v Speaker 2>that he's appealing, and they had to pay not only

215
00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:21.879
<v Speaker 2>fifteen million dollars to Trump as it relates to building

216
00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:24.480
<v Speaker 2>his library, but they also had to pay you, as

217
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:28.039
<v Speaker 2>a lawyer, a million dollars of the legal fees that

218
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:31.559
<v Speaker 2>the Trump I guess organization or he had to incur

219
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:35.080
<v Speaker 2>in order to suit. So this was sixteen million dollars

220
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:38.080
<v Speaker 2>that they had to fork out because of the lies

221
00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:41.440
<v Speaker 2>that they were telling during the election. Look for more

222
00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:44.480
<v Speaker 2>of this as we move forward. There will be more

223
00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:48.519
<v Speaker 2>mainstream media that will have to write checks for things

224
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:52.639
<v Speaker 2>that they said along the election campaign that were absolutely

225
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:55.039
<v Speaker 2>live and they're going to all continue to pay. But

226
00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:57.039
<v Speaker 2>you don't hear the left talking about it. You don't

227
00:12:57.080 --> 00:12:59.279
<v Speaker 2>hear the apologies about it. You know, this is when

228
00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:01.679
<v Speaker 2>you're talking to your family over the Hollids. Oh man,

229
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:04.679
<v Speaker 2>you know, Trump raps somebody? Trump did this and goes, well,

230
00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:07.840
<v Speaker 2>aren't you aware that that ABC was caught in a

231
00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:09.879
<v Speaker 2>live saying that this is what he did? And they

232
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:12.679
<v Speaker 2>had to pay fifteen million dollars and then one million

233
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:15.799
<v Speaker 2>for the legal fees, a total of sixteen million dollars.

234
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:19.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and you know, I guess part of me has

235
00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:21.679
<v Speaker 1>to observe. And you can see this going all over.

236
00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:24.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, multiple articles have been written on it, multiple

237
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:29.159
<v Speaker 1>comments by Democrats trying to to sort of survey the

238
00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:33.840
<v Speaker 1>landscape and realize, you know, how badly they lost to

239
00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:36.559
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump and what their message is going to be.

240
00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:38.639
<v Speaker 1>The Democrat Party message is going to be on a

241
00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:44.000
<v Speaker 1>going forward basis, because clearly eight years of NonStop demonization

242
00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:48.240
<v Speaker 1>of Donald Trump and woke ideology and DEI and wide

243
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:52.039
<v Speaker 1>open borders and massive inflation clearly did not help them,

244
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:57.200
<v Speaker 1>and IOTA notably defunding the police, DECRIMINALI, decriminalizing drugs. They're

245
00:13:57.240 --> 00:13:59.639
<v Speaker 1>all going to the back opposite direction. They don't know

246
00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:02.879
<v Speaker 1>what the stands for anymore, because the direction the party

247
00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:08.519
<v Speaker 1>was going was not palpable to the vast majority of Americans, and.

248
00:14:08.440 --> 00:14:14.000
<v Speaker 2>Clearly so many Catholics like myself and so many Christians

249
00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:18.840
<v Speaker 2>like you, and others have seen them attack people's religions

250
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:22.120
<v Speaker 2>openly over the last four to six years. And you

251
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:24.759
<v Speaker 2>saw so many Catholics, it didn't matter whether they were

252
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:29.200
<v Speaker 2>a Democrat or a Republican, reject the Democratic Party because

253
00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:32.840
<v Speaker 2>of their rhetoric, the decisions and the things. That's why

254
00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:36.320
<v Speaker 2>people are saying, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas. Brian Thomas. I'm

255
00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:40.360
<v Speaker 2>a Christian, I'm a Catholic. I'm happy Merry Christmas. People

256
00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:44.879
<v Speaker 2>are rejecting this neutrality around God. God can't be in

257
00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:48.279
<v Speaker 2>the school. God can't be. We can't save the pledge

258
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:52.200
<v Speaker 2>of Legians in schools. People are waking up and rejecting

259
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:56.279
<v Speaker 2>it and reclaiming these basic common sense things in a

260
00:14:56.360 --> 00:15:00.399
<v Speaker 2>society that make us orderly, that bring humility to our

261
00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:04.480
<v Speaker 2>young people. Young people don't respect the flag because many

262
00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:07.519
<v Speaker 2>of our school systems don't respect the flag.

263
00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:11.679
<v Speaker 1>Well, they don't respect the flag, and they promote this socialist,

264
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:15.159
<v Speaker 1>leftist ideology as well, which again people appear to be

265
00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:19.039
<v Speaker 1>rejecting soundly any other component of it. Christopher, and maybe

266
00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:22.039
<v Speaker 1>it's just me being overly optimistic. You say, you know,

267
00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Merry Christmas to someone sometimes. And there was a period

268
00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:27.240
<v Speaker 1>that we've lived through now for quite some time. Or

269
00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:29.440
<v Speaker 1>if they get angry, well do these Merry Christmas? How

270
00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:32.799
<v Speaker 1>do you know that I'm Christian? You know, I've pointed

271
00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:39.440
<v Speaker 1>out many times that is a joyful wish to you.

272
00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:42.600
<v Speaker 1>The person who gives you that greeting is in a

273
00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:46.360
<v Speaker 1>celebratory mood over the holiday season and over their religion,

274
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:50.360
<v Speaker 1>and they're sharing the love that they get from that

275
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:53.320
<v Speaker 1>with you. Merry Christmas to you, whether or not you

276
00:15:53.559 --> 00:15:57.759
<v Speaker 1>celebrated or not. It's a kind thing if someone if

277
00:15:57.799 --> 00:16:00.799
<v Speaker 1>my Jewish friends, yes, if my Jewish friends wish me

278
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:04.440
<v Speaker 1>happy Hanukkah, you know what, I feel really good about that.

279
00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:08.399
<v Speaker 1>Thank you very much for including me in your celebration.

280
00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:12.600
<v Speaker 1>That is a beautiful, friendly thing to do. So it's

281
00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:13.399
<v Speaker 1>this division.

282
00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:18.200
<v Speaker 4>Inclusion is actually inclusion, right, and your reaction should be

283
00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:21.320
<v Speaker 4>one of embrace and thanks, not one of like woo,

284
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:23.559
<v Speaker 4>which you know.

285
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:24.960
<v Speaker 3>I think that's part of the problem.

286
00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:27.240
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's what Americans are tired of, the

287
00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:31.799
<v Speaker 1>fomenting of division on literally any topic that can come

288
00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:34.399
<v Speaker 1>up with. And I do believe that that is largely

289
00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:38.519
<v Speaker 1>fostered and encouraged by outside forces like foreign governments, and

290
00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:40.960
<v Speaker 1>this is not a conspiracy because our own government has

291
00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:44.480
<v Speaker 1>pointed out that the Chinese Communist Party, for example, has

292
00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:47.919
<v Speaker 1>bought farms and computer scientists working twenty four hours a day,

293
00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:51.120
<v Speaker 1>seven days a week to put out messages of division

294
00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:55.679
<v Speaker 1>on social media. In our country, bots are producing messages

295
00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:59.200
<v Speaker 1>that are angry and evil. When someone makes a comment

296
00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:03.320
<v Speaker 1>like you get this artificial intelligence generated message countering what

297
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:06.000
<v Speaker 1>you're trying to sing in a really negative mean way.

298
00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:08.240
<v Speaker 1>That might not even be a real human being. But

299
00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:11.359
<v Speaker 1>what does it serve. It serves their interest to divide

300
00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:15.200
<v Speaker 1>the American people among themselves. And that's just I think

301
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:20.079
<v Speaker 1>the ultimate evil inherent in all of this. It allows

302
00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:24.079
<v Speaker 1>the easy encouragement of division between us. It allows individual,

303
00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:26.799
<v Speaker 1>small quantities of folks. Going back to the people who

304
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:29.559
<v Speaker 1>are praising the murderer from New York, it makes them

305
00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:32.160
<v Speaker 1>look like they have the majority opinion and that you're

306
00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:34.519
<v Speaker 1>the wrong one because you don't share it with them.

307
00:17:35.319 --> 00:17:38.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I make no sense at all, none, no

308
00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:40.960
<v Speaker 2>sense at all. Brian Thomas. Let me end by sharing

309
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:44.400
<v Speaker 2>with you this drone siasco, that it's happening at the

310
00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:49.240
<v Speaker 2>right house, that the FBI, that national security, no one

311
00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:52.400
<v Speaker 2>knows where all these drones are coming from. Look in

312
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:55.680
<v Speaker 2>a playful way, but very serious. Those drones are going

313
00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:59.039
<v Speaker 2>to fly over a community that really believe in the

314
00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:02.680
<v Speaker 2>Second Amendment and really group the country. They're gonna come down. Okay,

315
00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:05.319
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna fly out in Montana or Idaho, or they're

316
00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:09.079
<v Speaker 2>gonna come in Ohio over by Litlok County called Preble County.

317
00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:11.559
<v Speaker 2>And let me tell you when they go across one

318
00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:14.480
<v Speaker 2>of those counties like Preble County, I guarantee you we're

319
00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:16.799
<v Speaker 2>gonna know where the drone is. That it's gonna be

320
00:18:16.839 --> 00:18:20.000
<v Speaker 2>on a farm in their cornfield because they would have

321
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:22.279
<v Speaker 2>shot it down. And they don't have little guns. Baby,

322
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:25.599
<v Speaker 2>They've got real stuff to bring a drone down the

323
00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:29.400
<v Speaker 2>size of a dog go car or a dining room table.

324
00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:33.680
<v Speaker 2>They're not gonna tolerate it. Sore. When your government doesn't

325
00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:38.240
<v Speaker 2>protect you, what happens is normal people take things into

326
00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:41.279
<v Speaker 2>their own hands. And that's what the Constitution is all

327
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:44.400
<v Speaker 2>about in the Second Amendment, is to protect us from

328
00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:47.680
<v Speaker 2>our own government. And so the reality of it is

329
00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:49.920
<v Speaker 2>a government is saying I don't know what these are.

330
00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:53.160
<v Speaker 2>They're just flying over your fields. They're just flying over

331
00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:56.200
<v Speaker 2>your house. They're just flying over your military basis and

332
00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:59.000
<v Speaker 2>we don't have any information for you. When they fly

333
00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:02.359
<v Speaker 2>over the right community, not New Jersey as an example,

334
00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:05.079
<v Speaker 2>where they don't have Second Amendment rights over there, They're

335
00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:07.680
<v Speaker 2>gonna fly over the right dog on state, and I

336
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:09.599
<v Speaker 2>guarantee you we're gonna know everything we need to know

337
00:19:09.640 --> 00:19:10.440
<v Speaker 2>about those drums.

338
00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:12.519
<v Speaker 3>It's so funny.

339
00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:16.079
<v Speaker 1>Christopher Chris Christy, the former governor Chris Christy from New Jersey,

340
00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:19.640
<v Speaker 1>said pretty much the same things, like, listen, there are

341
00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:23.359
<v Speaker 1>gonna be drone vigilantes and they will start taking them down.

342
00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:26.599
<v Speaker 1>And why because nobody's telling us the truth about anything.

343
00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:29.319
<v Speaker 1>You answer the questions, you give the American people the whole,

344
00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:32.640
<v Speaker 1>cold heart, honest truth, and they'd be less inclined to

345
00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:35.200
<v Speaker 1>do that. Like, oh, those belong to the CIA. Okay,

346
00:19:35.240 --> 00:19:36.759
<v Speaker 1>well we may have some problems. We might have to

347
00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:39.000
<v Speaker 1>discuss that, but at least I know who they belong

348
00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:39.960
<v Speaker 1>to right now.

349
00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:41.640
<v Speaker 3>It's like I don't know, I don't know.

350
00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:45.240
<v Speaker 2>I was laughing at like Scooby do I know, you know,

351
00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:48.440
<v Speaker 2>Scooby Doo is like you know, like God, you just

352
00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:52.680
<v Speaker 2>were asked about these drones that are flying around the America,

353
00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:56.279
<v Speaker 2>over people's homes and over these very sensitive sights, and

354
00:19:56.279 --> 00:19:59.160
<v Speaker 2>you're telling the whole world we don't know anything about it.

355
00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:01.880
<v Speaker 2>We don't have the information for you. And they're they're

356
00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:05.720
<v Speaker 2>saying this to our congressional members. Fortunately, our mayors are

357
00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:08.559
<v Speaker 2>taking it serious, saying no, no, no, But I just

358
00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:12.519
<v Speaker 2>watch what happens over the next week or two. Americans

359
00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:15.799
<v Speaker 2>are going to take this into their own hands. When

360
00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:20.720
<v Speaker 2>the government is unwilling to protect, they will protect themselves.

361
00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:24.079
<v Speaker 2>And they don't realize there are people out there that

362
00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:27.440
<v Speaker 2>have serious weapons. I'm not talking about this little baby

363
00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:30.880
<v Speaker 2>stuff that I have, quite frankly, I'm talking serious stuff.

364
00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:33.839
<v Speaker 2>They will light up the sky, bring the drone down,

365
00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:36.519
<v Speaker 2>and drag it into their barn, and they'll be able

366
00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:38.519
<v Speaker 2>to tell you everything you need to know about it.

367
00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:41.039
<v Speaker 1>Just wait, all right, Well, the lawyer and me must

368
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:44.519
<v Speaker 1>be immediately say I agree with you that that's going

369
00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:47.759
<v Speaker 1>to happen. I don't want my listeners to start doing that.

370
00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:51.000
<v Speaker 1>That is illegal. So in spite of the fact that

371
00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:52.720
<v Speaker 1>there are laws on the books, you and I both

372
00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:55.039
<v Speaker 1>know people break them. Starting out with the story you

373
00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:59.319
<v Speaker 1>started with this morning, Christopher Smith Smither, love you brother,

374
00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:03.279
<v Speaker 1>will talk again, real soon, rather than great Week seven

375
00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:05.039
<v Speaker 1>twenty five and five cars to the dog station.

376
00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:05.799
<v Speaker 3>You got
