<v Speaker 1>Dan Carolyn for Brian Thomas fifty five KRS the Talk Station.

2
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:20.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

3
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:22.359
<v Speaker 1>One of the great things I always look forward to

4
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:24.640
<v Speaker 1>whenever I get to sit in for Brian Thomas, especially

5
00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:28.679
<v Speaker 1>on a Monday, is this segment right here where Chris

6
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Smitherman joins us and we have we like to call

7
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:34.880
<v Speaker 1>the smither Vent and Chris Smitherman, welcome again to fifty

8
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:35.479
<v Speaker 1>five KRC.

9
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:36.799
<v Speaker 3>I hope you had a great weekend.

10
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:43.399
<v Speaker 2>I did, Dan, thank you so much. My grandson came

11
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:46.920
<v Speaker 2>to visit with his beautiful parents. I'm about that Christopher

12
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:51.960
<v Speaker 2>and my Bill, and he's five months old and it

13
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:54.960
<v Speaker 2>was just a great opportunity to spend some time with him.

14
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:57.200
<v Speaker 2>So had I had a great weekend. I'll have to

15
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:00.359
<v Speaker 2>send you a picture after the after the show. But

16
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:02.520
<v Speaker 2>let me tell you. Let me tell you, Dan Carroll,

17
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:06.319
<v Speaker 2>I want to establish some common sense things in this

18
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:10.480
<v Speaker 2>first segment, some things that I know that I know

19
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:13.359
<v Speaker 2>are going to be obvious, but I think they need

20
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:19.799
<v Speaker 2>to go out over the airways. Number one is that China, China, China,

21
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:25.120
<v Speaker 2>their government is the political enemy of the United States

22
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:31.480
<v Speaker 2>of America. Period. They want to dominate the world, and

23
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:35.599
<v Speaker 2>they view the United States of America as in their way.

24
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:41.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm a person that shops to at lalmart, our Target,

25
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:46.000
<v Speaker 2>our Costco, our Sam's Club, and I think over the

26
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:49.640
<v Speaker 2>last thirty years, when I look at products, it says

27
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:55.200
<v Speaker 2>made in China. Okay. And so this notion that all

28
00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:59.439
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden, people are saying that the United States

29
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:05.079
<v Speaker 2>is being aggressive towards China as it relates to tariff,

30
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:09.680
<v Speaker 2>It's not. China has been aggressive towards the United States

31
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.759
<v Speaker 2>with their tariffs for the last thirty or forty years

32
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:16.960
<v Speaker 2>and making it very difficult, Dan Carroll for the United

33
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:21.120
<v Speaker 2>States companies to do business in China. So far, I

34
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:24.439
<v Speaker 2>think I'm one hundred percent on everything I've just said.

35
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:28.479
<v Speaker 2>This is not about the Chinese people. Meaning when I

36
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:32.719
<v Speaker 2>say the Chinese government, I'm being very specific the Chinese government,

37
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:36.199
<v Speaker 2>not Chinese Americans that are living in our countries who

38
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:40.000
<v Speaker 2>are patriots of the United States of America. I'm talking

39
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:44.280
<v Speaker 2>about the Chinese government wants to dominate us. That is

40
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:48.080
<v Speaker 2>why they have warships, It's why they're buzzing over Taiwan,

41
00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:52.159
<v Speaker 2>and they were punking out President Biden. And they just

42
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:54.919
<v Speaker 2>found out that there's a new sheriff in town. His

43
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:58.960
<v Speaker 2>name is President Donald Trump, and he's saying, listen, I'm

44
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:02.960
<v Speaker 2>not gonna allow you to continue to treat American goods

45
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:06.439
<v Speaker 2>and services poorly. If you want to do business in

46
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:10.479
<v Speaker 2>America and you want to charge our American company's tariffs,

47
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:15.080
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna have reciprocal tariffs for you. So far, it

48
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:18.080
<v Speaker 2>all makes common sense to me. And so I've been

49
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:20.919
<v Speaker 2>watching the news over the weekend and I've listened to

50
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:25.080
<v Speaker 2>all these globalists who seem to be advocating and cheerleading

51
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:28.759
<v Speaker 2>for China. Meanie, I'm sitting there going, man, we're really

52
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:31.400
<v Speaker 2>concerned about China and what's going on with the Chinese

53
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:34.319
<v Speaker 2>manufacturing there. What is their middle class going to do?

54
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:38.520
<v Speaker 2>That's what President Trump ran on. He said, Look, I've

55
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:43.520
<v Speaker 2>been going through places like West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and

56
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:47.000
<v Speaker 2>basically I'm those that there's three examples, and I'm seeing

57
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:50.599
<v Speaker 2>towns that have just blown apart because they don't have

58
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:54.520
<v Speaker 2>the same manufacturing infrastructure that they had thirty or forty

59
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:58.520
<v Speaker 2>years ago. I wonder why, because the globalist said to

60
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:02.000
<v Speaker 2>our country that if you you just open up our borders,

61
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:05.639
<v Speaker 2>you do what they call free trades, that the middle

62
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:09.240
<v Speaker 2>class is gonna be Okay, that's not what happened. All

63
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:13.199
<v Speaker 2>of our jobs were shipped over to China, Nike being

64
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:16.439
<v Speaker 2>one of those companies with sweatshops over there, and then

65
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:19.839
<v Speaker 2>they bring their products back to the United States without tariffs.

66
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:23.360
<v Speaker 2>So they set up shop around the world, whether it's Taiwan,

67
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:27.040
<v Speaker 2>whether it's Vietnam, whether it's China. They put all of

68
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:30.920
<v Speaker 2>their manufacturing their Dan Carroll, and then they bring their

69
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:34.920
<v Speaker 2>products back here, and they've left out the middle class,

70
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:37.199
<v Speaker 2>the people that used to be able to make enough

71
00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:41.240
<v Speaker 2>money to buy a house, then their children to college,

72
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:45.560
<v Speaker 2>right have a decent retirement. They don't want to live

73
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:48.519
<v Speaker 2>off the government. They're not here saying man, I'm trying

74
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:51.160
<v Speaker 2>to get on food stamps. I want you to subsidize

75
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:54.720
<v Speaker 2>my apartments. These are hard working men and women who

76
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:57.160
<v Speaker 2>want to get up every day and go to work

77
00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:00.600
<v Speaker 2>in their country, and they deserve that dignity. That is

78
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:03.120
<v Speaker 2>what is at stake right now, Dan Carroll, as we

79
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:06.040
<v Speaker 2>go into what I consider a short term fight for

80
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:07.240
<v Speaker 2>a long term.

81
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:09.040
<v Speaker 3>Game, well, and you know what I want to get

82
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:09.360
<v Speaker 3>into that.

83
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:11.639
<v Speaker 1>I want to explore that a little bit more of you, Chrisman,

84
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:14.319
<v Speaker 1>because or Chris Smithman, because I think you're right on

85
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:17.839
<v Speaker 1>the money with all of this. And you know, there

86
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:22.279
<v Speaker 1>are so many now who are expressing this expectation and

87
00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:26.160
<v Speaker 1>this frustration that none of this has come to fruition yet.

88
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:28.560
<v Speaker 1>And I was talking about that this morning. I look

89
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:31.639
<v Speaker 1>at my calendar. Donald Trump hasn't been in office for

90
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:35.079
<v Speaker 1>three months yet, and already we're expecting or supposed to

91
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:39.519
<v Speaker 1>have results, tangible results for all these things that are

92
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:43.439
<v Speaker 1>going on. And somehow this is equating to a failure

93
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:48.040
<v Speaker 1>on behalf of this administration because the results aren't in yet.

94
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:50.600
<v Speaker 1>But Chris Smitheman, stay right there. We'll do a little

95
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:53.199
<v Speaker 1>traffic and weather together here and then we'll get right

96
00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:56.120
<v Speaker 1>back to Chris Smitheman and the smith Event on fifty

97
00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:57.279
<v Speaker 1>five KRC.

98
00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:06.279
<v Speaker 3>The Talk Station. Fifty five KRC. Fifty five KRC the

99
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:06.959
<v Speaker 3>Talk Station.

100
00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:10.040
<v Speaker 1>Dan Perrell in for Brian Thomas, continuing on now with

101
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Chris Smithman and the Smither Event, and Chris Smithvan always

102
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:15.680
<v Speaker 1>great to have you here, and you laid out the

103
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:19.439
<v Speaker 1>case I think pretty well about what is happening with China.

104
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:23.120
<v Speaker 1>But you know, there's all these narratives that the left

105
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:25.879
<v Speaker 1>continues to throw out there to try and undermine Trump

106
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:28.000
<v Speaker 1>and everything is he and that he is doing.

107
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:29.160
<v Speaker 2>And the.

108
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:32.800
<v Speaker 1>Narrative that's getting a lot of play right now, there's

109
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:35.199
<v Speaker 1>two of them that are developing out there right now.

110
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:38.439
<v Speaker 1>And number one is is that we're not seeing any

111
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:41.399
<v Speaker 1>results from this. This has gone on too long. The

112
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:45.759
<v Speaker 1>American people are on the precipice of peril with their

113
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:48.759
<v Speaker 1>four oh one ks and their investments and everything. That's

114
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:50.720
<v Speaker 1>all going to go down the drain as long key,

115
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:54.680
<v Speaker 1>as long as Trump keeps up this this war with China,

116
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:57.199
<v Speaker 1>this trade war with China. And then the other narrative

117
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:01.199
<v Speaker 1>is that if Trump wants man manufacturing to come back

118
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:03.560
<v Speaker 1>to the United States, And I just played the cut

119
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:06.959
<v Speaker 1>from John Carr from ABC News. He's talking about, well,

120
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:11.360
<v Speaker 1>those factories make iPhones, and they make and they make shoes,

121
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:14.000
<v Speaker 1>and he says, are we going to become a nation

122
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:19.959
<v Speaker 1>of cobblers, as if somehow these manufacturing jobs really are

123
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:23.560
<v Speaker 1>beneath the dignity of the American people to go out

124
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:26.639
<v Speaker 1>there and go to work and be productive in this

125
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:27.240
<v Speaker 1>sort of way.

126
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:32.199
<v Speaker 2>What say you, brother, We've got some incredibly ignorant people

127
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:36.639
<v Speaker 2>out there. It's just amazing to me mail that lacks

128
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:41.600
<v Speaker 2>common sense and they just absolutely lie, like Senator Shift.

129
00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:45.240
<v Speaker 2>But let me say this. When President Barack Obama took

130
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:49.639
<v Speaker 2>over the presidency, approximately the Dow was at sixty five hundred.

131
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:55.279
<v Speaker 2>We hit forty five thousand on the Dow. Ten percent

132
00:07:55.399 --> 00:08:00.800
<v Speaker 2>corrections are normal. The correction we had was ordered. So

133
00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:03.120
<v Speaker 2>when I see the market down ten or twelve or

134
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:06.399
<v Speaker 2>fifteen percent, I just want to share with Americans who

135
00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:11.560
<v Speaker 2>are hearing our voices. Markets just don't go up. Sometimes

136
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:15.279
<v Speaker 2>they come down, and that's a part of the process

137
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.199
<v Speaker 2>of kind of pushing out the excesses that are in

138
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:21.000
<v Speaker 2>the market so that the market can find a floor

139
00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:24.879
<v Speaker 2>and then move higher. So first, I'm not concerned about

140
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:28.480
<v Speaker 2>paper losses. I don't think that Donald Trump is hitler,

141
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.319
<v Speaker 2>and I don't think he plans on bringing the end

142
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:34.679
<v Speaker 2>of the world. And so the Democratic Party keeps pushing

143
00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:39.600
<v Speaker 2>these crazy narratives about what is happening, and it is

144
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:45.720
<v Speaker 2>causing people to panic. Look China, China, China owns approximately

145
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:49.519
<v Speaker 2>seven hundred the seven hundred and fifty billion dollars of

146
00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:52.960
<v Speaker 2>our debt, and I think what happened is China started

147
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.159
<v Speaker 2>to sell that debt on the open market pushing our

148
00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:58.879
<v Speaker 2>rates down, which would have caused us to have a

149
00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:02.600
<v Speaker 2>spike in our in our long term rates, and the

150
00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:05.639
<v Speaker 2>White House probably got concerned about it. Now, everything that

151
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:09.399
<v Speaker 2>I just said right there is speculation, But the reality

152
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:14.080
<v Speaker 2>of it is, why did future past presidents allow the

153
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:17.639
<v Speaker 2>Chinese government to buy seven hundred and fifty or seven

154
00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:21.240
<v Speaker 2>hundred and sixty or eight hundred billion dollars of our debt?

155
00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Why did future past governments allowed the Chinese government to

156
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:30.679
<v Speaker 2>walk in and buy our agricultural farms, our small farmers.

157
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:34.039
<v Speaker 2>They're buying land all around us, Dan Carroll, which makes

158
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:37.600
<v Speaker 2>no sense to me. The Congress and the Senate has

159
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:40.840
<v Speaker 2>been they've been sitting on their hands. You know why speculation.

160
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:45.000
<v Speaker 2>I believe China's been buying them all off. Nancy Pelosi,

161
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.440
<v Speaker 2>she makes a couple hundred thousand dollars a year. Somebody

162
00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:51.039
<v Speaker 2>explained to me why this woman is worth a hundred

163
00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:56.000
<v Speaker 2>million dollars? How does that happen? And I'm saying to everybody, China,

164
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.559
<v Speaker 2>We've got to focus on them. We've got to give

165
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:03.559
<v Speaker 2>this president, that Congress, and the Senate the opportunity and

166
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:07.960
<v Speaker 2>the space in order for them to reset our relationship

167
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:10.600
<v Speaker 2>with China. We've got to send the message to China

168
00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:13.039
<v Speaker 2>now at some point we've got to draw a line

169
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:15.240
<v Speaker 2>into say and I say, let's do it. Now. It's

170
00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:19.360
<v Speaker 2>economic today, maybe one day it's World War three. I'm

171
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:22.679
<v Speaker 2>not calling on that. I'm just saying we can't allow

172
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:26.960
<v Speaker 2>China to push us around. That's why Russia is taking

173
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:30.720
<v Speaker 2>Ukraine under Biden. If we had a week president, You've

174
00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:35.120
<v Speaker 2>see China taking Taiwan right now. We can't allow this.

175
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:38.360
<v Speaker 2>And so this notion that all of a sudden, this

176
00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:42.840
<v Speaker 2>president has caused the trade war is crazy. We're already

177
00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:45.840
<v Speaker 2>in a trade war. We're getting our buts kicked, and

178
00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:47.679
<v Speaker 2>we have a president that says.

179
00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:51.360
<v Speaker 1>No more, you know, Chris mythan We've had so many

180
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:56.200
<v Speaker 1>different companies announce their intentions to build factories in the

181
00:10:56.360 --> 00:11:01.039
<v Speaker 1>United States, to have manufacturing here, not just pharmaceutical but

182
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:05.639
<v Speaker 1>chip factories and apple and car manufacturers and all the rest.

183
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:09.360
<v Speaker 1>And I believe the number right now is near seven

184
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:13.639
<v Speaker 1>trillion dollars of investment in the United States. But these

185
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:16.600
<v Speaker 1>things take a little bit of time to come into fruition.

186
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:20.159
<v Speaker 1>But this whole notion that we're supposed to start seeing

187
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:24.480
<v Speaker 1>results now that we need to have results now. And again,

188
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:27.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, the United States economy is the biggest ship

189
00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:30.399
<v Speaker 1>out there, and it takes a little while to turn

190
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:34.960
<v Speaker 1>these things around. So how do you get the notion

191
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:37.759
<v Speaker 1>out there that we need to have a little bit

192
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:42.240
<v Speaker 1>of patience when again, we have the constant drumbeat that this,

193
00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:45.559
<v Speaker 1>this whole notion that Trump wants to have manufacturing come

194
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:48.519
<v Speaker 1>back to the United States is going to be a failure.

195
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:51.320
<v Speaker 1>And there's one hundred and thirty countries out there now

196
00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:55.279
<v Speaker 1>that there, and there, and the Trump administration is negotiating

197
00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:58.279
<v Speaker 1>with every single one of them. And when I see

198
00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:01.840
<v Speaker 1>all these gears in motion and I see all these

199
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:04.120
<v Speaker 1>sort of things that are happening, it looks to me

200
00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:07.480
<v Speaker 1>like they are aligning in the way that they need

201
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:10.919
<v Speaker 1>to align for the bigger picture to all come together.

202
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Is it going to take a little while?

203
00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:12.759
<v Speaker 3>I think so.

204
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:16.639
<v Speaker 1>But according to the left and according to the news media,

205
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:18.360
<v Speaker 1>we should be seeing results now.

206
00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:23.039
<v Speaker 2>Well, first, you're right that this is going to take

207
00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:26.600
<v Speaker 2>some time to reset, and I believe that time period

208
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:29.200
<v Speaker 2>is going to be greater than ninety days. We'll see

209
00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:32.759
<v Speaker 2>a lot of great trade deals that will come down

210
00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:34.639
<v Speaker 2>through the White House. But this is going to be

211
00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:39.000
<v Speaker 2>a process, as you have clearly outlined for your listening audience.

212
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:43.679
<v Speaker 2>But skilled labor is a natural security issue. If we

213
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:46.879
<v Speaker 2>happen to go to war, we need people that know

214
00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:51.440
<v Speaker 2>how to build ships, build tanks, build planes. Now, whoever's

215
00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:54.639
<v Speaker 2>out here talking about widgets, let me just explain something.

216
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:58.559
<v Speaker 2>Why is the uaw so behind Trump because they understand

217
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:01.320
<v Speaker 2>that they want to see their corvette rolling through China.

218
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:03.240
<v Speaker 2>They're tired of the terraffs. They want to see their

219
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:06.039
<v Speaker 2>month things. If you are a Ford lover, they want

220
00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:08.879
<v Speaker 2>to see the Cobra down the streets of China, not

221
00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:12.960
<v Speaker 2>with a thirty forty or one hundred percent cara. We

222
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:16.399
<v Speaker 2>want to see the Porsches over here. People love them.

223
00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:19.120
<v Speaker 2>But what we want to see our corvette in Germany.

224
00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:23.559
<v Speaker 2>We're tired of our European partners and our Asian partners

225
00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:27.279
<v Speaker 2>pushing us around basic common sense that if you sell

226
00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:32.679
<v Speaker 2>more cars, you create more stability, greater workers, more workers

227
00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:35.159
<v Speaker 2>here in the United States of America. Think about a

228
00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:39.039
<v Speaker 2>company like Boeing. Now they're only competitors' air Bus, but

229
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:41.679
<v Speaker 2>the more planes they sell, do you know what China

230
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:45.120
<v Speaker 2>has been doing to Boeing over the last four years.

231
00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:49.279
<v Speaker 2>They literally listen to this. Boeing doesn't get paid until

232
00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:53.679
<v Speaker 2>they deliver a plane. Dan Carroll they they built about

233
00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:59.559
<v Speaker 2>eighty four planes for China, the Chinese airline industry. Each

234
00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:02.000
<v Speaker 2>one of those planes worth about two hundred and sixty

235
00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:05.759
<v Speaker 2>one million dollars. Under Biden, those plans have been sitting

236
00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:09.840
<v Speaker 2>somewhere in a warehouse because China has been refusing to

237
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:13.480
<v Speaker 2>take ownership for planes that they purchased that they told

238
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Boeing to. Well, they put a deposit down, and then

239
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:22.159
<v Speaker 2>Boeing cannot deliver these plans and capture the two hundred

240
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:25.480
<v Speaker 2>and sixty one million dollars per plane. I'm tired of

241
00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:29.279
<v Speaker 2>China pushing us around. We've got to show the rest

242
00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:31.879
<v Speaker 2>of the world that doesn't matter whether you're African Americans,

243
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:35.120
<v Speaker 2>whether you're a Latino American, whether you're a Jewish American

244
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:38.639
<v Speaker 2>or white American. We are Americans. And then let me

245
00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:40.919
<v Speaker 2>tell you, if you travel anywhere out of the United

246
00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:43.639
<v Speaker 2>States of America, they say you're an American. I don't

247
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.720
<v Speaker 2>care if you're African American, Jewish, they hear your accent,

248
00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:50.639
<v Speaker 2>that's an American. We better understand that we're in the

249
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:54.000
<v Speaker 2>same ship here. It's not about race. What China has

250
00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:56.960
<v Speaker 2>been trying to do with their money is make us

251
00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:00.360
<v Speaker 2>fight about race. They've been using the Democratic part the

252
00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:04.440
<v Speaker 2>Socialist Party, the Communist Party like the AOC, pushing this

253
00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:08.039
<v Speaker 2>crazy agenda that I shouldn't like you just because of

254
00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:10.360
<v Speaker 2>the color of your skin. And then they put out

255
00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:15.840
<v Speaker 2>people like Representative Crockett that reinforces her own congressional member

256
00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:19.240
<v Speaker 2>who's married to a white woman all of a sudden

257
00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:22.639
<v Speaker 2>is not African Americans because of his selection of who

258
00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:25.120
<v Speaker 2>he loves and the children that he makes. That was

259
00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:28.519
<v Speaker 2>Representative Crockett. We've got to push back on all of

260
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:32.759
<v Speaker 2>these narratives. Come together as Americans, give the executive branch

261
00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:36.080
<v Speaker 2>of this government the opportunity to clean it up, make

262
00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:38.720
<v Speaker 2>sure that trade is fair, so that we are a

263
00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:42.600
<v Speaker 2>stronger country one hundred years from now for our children.

264
00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:45.320
<v Speaker 2>I hope I've answered that question for you, Dan Carroll.

265
00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:48.679
<v Speaker 2>We need to give this executive branch the time and

266
00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:52.039
<v Speaker 2>the space to take on our partners, which by the way,

267
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:55.600
<v Speaker 2>is also Europe, not just our enemies, but it's also

268
00:15:55.840 --> 00:15:57.039
<v Speaker 2>places like Europe.

269
00:15:57.720 --> 00:16:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Chris mnthven stay right there, We've got one more sayon

270
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:02.360
<v Speaker 1>to go, and when we come back, I want to

271
00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:05.320
<v Speaker 1>ask you about this poll that shows about half of

272
00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:09.080
<v Speaker 1>those who were on the left believe that killing Musk

273
00:16:09.559 --> 00:16:12.879
<v Speaker 1>or killing Trump may be justified, and I'll get your

274
00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:14.879
<v Speaker 1>thoughts on that as we continue on with the Smith

275
00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:17.600
<v Speaker 1>event on fifty five KRZ the talk station.

276
00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:21.480
<v Speaker 2>This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio station.

277
00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:28.039
<v Speaker 1>Fifty five KRC, the Talks station seven forty three. Dan

278
00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:30.799
<v Speaker 1>Carroll in for Brian Thomas, and we continue with Chris

279
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Smitherman and the Monday Smith Event. And Chris Smitherman, this

280
00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:40.480
<v Speaker 1>is I read this over the weekend about Rutgers University

281
00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:45.480
<v Speaker 1>did a study of mostly left of center people and

282
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:49.639
<v Speaker 1>they found that forty eight to fifty five percent of

283
00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:54.600
<v Speaker 1>left of center people were able to somewhat justify the

284
00:16:54.720 --> 00:17:00.080
<v Speaker 1>murder of Elon Musk or President Trump. And this to

285
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:04.920
<v Speaker 1>me is a very disturbing finding. That number should be zero.

286
00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:07.960
<v Speaker 1>How do we get to the point in this country

287
00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:10.759
<v Speaker 1>where you've got so many And it doesn't say the

288
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:14.640
<v Speaker 1>ages of the people that they that they talk to,

289
00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:17.160
<v Speaker 1>but as I read this, I get the sense that

290
00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:21.319
<v Speaker 1>it's predominantly younger people, but how do we get to

291
00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:24.599
<v Speaker 1>the point in this country to where the justifying of

292
00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:31.440
<v Speaker 1>political assassination is something that people can abide and abiding

293
00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:37.240
<v Speaker 1>This by any degree whatsoever should be totally and completely unacceptable,

294
00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:40.440
<v Speaker 1>but somehow it is amongst you know, a certain segment

295
00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:41.200
<v Speaker 1>of our population.

296
00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:45.759
<v Speaker 2>Well, first, let me thank Eli Musk for his service

297
00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:49.680
<v Speaker 2>in the Doze group and his team that are exposing

298
00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:54.759
<v Speaker 2>for all of us the waste, the fraud, the abuse

299
00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:57.880
<v Speaker 2>that's happening at the federal level. Number one. Number two,

300
00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:01.359
<v Speaker 2>there's never a place in our society for violence, political

301
00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:04.680
<v Speaker 2>or otherwise, and so I love that you're denouncing it.

302
00:18:05.079 --> 00:18:09.720
<v Speaker 2>Number Three, our mass media outlets have been calling Elon

303
00:18:09.880 --> 00:18:14.400
<v Speaker 2>Musk and President Donald Trump a Nazi. Now, now, the

304
00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Nazis killed six million Jews. So this notion that this

305
00:18:20.279 --> 00:18:24.759
<v Speaker 2>language that they're using, they are inciting the violence, Dan Carroll,

306
00:18:24.759 --> 00:18:28.000
<v Speaker 2>They're basically saying it's okay to kill Hitler. And so

307
00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:32.279
<v Speaker 2>you and I understand that Elon Musk, nor President Trump,

308
00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:37.079
<v Speaker 2>nor anyone in his cabinet or the Congress Democrat or Republican,

309
00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:40.119
<v Speaker 2>are independent or in the Senate, none of those people

310
00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:44.640
<v Speaker 2>are Hitler. And so they keep pushing this narrative on MSNBC,

311
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:49.960
<v Speaker 2>on CNN, on whatever liberal news channel that you can

312
00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:56.240
<v Speaker 2>listen to, trying to justify that killing somebody in any way,

313
00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:59.440
<v Speaker 2>shape or form is okay. It's a scary time that

314
00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:03.359
<v Speaker 2>we're currently living in. And let me say to all

315
00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:05.720
<v Speaker 2>of you that if we get to the point where

316
00:19:05.799 --> 00:19:09.359
<v Speaker 2>killing people is the option, you know, we are in

317
00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:13.640
<v Speaker 2>a very very very bad place as a country. Yeah.

318
00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:17.400
<v Speaker 3>But is it? Is it the schools? Is it the parents?

319
00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:18.359
<v Speaker 3>Is it the media?

320
00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Is that all these things combined? Because to my way

321
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:25.279
<v Speaker 1>of thinking, this needs to be examined thoroughly, because we

322
00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:29.400
<v Speaker 1>have if if we can't, if we can't get through

323
00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:33.039
<v Speaker 1>to groups of people that you know, the way to

324
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:37.359
<v Speaker 1>settle your differences is through elections or through coming to

325
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:41.519
<v Speaker 1>the table, through having discussion, I mean really meaningful discussions

326
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:43.480
<v Speaker 1>and not some of the you know, some of the

327
00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:46.880
<v Speaker 1>nonsense that we're subject to when it comes to people

328
00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:50.880
<v Speaker 1>having roundtables or consultant driven kind of stuff, but real

329
00:19:50.960 --> 00:19:54.440
<v Speaker 1>face to face and human interaction, that that is the

330
00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:59.160
<v Speaker 1>way to resolve your differences instead of just going out

331
00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:02.559
<v Speaker 1>and eliminating what you consider to be a threat. If

332
00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:04.920
<v Speaker 1>you don't like that threat, in a political sense.

333
00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:08.920
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, But look, we've had leaders in our country which

334
00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:11.759
<v Speaker 2>is incredibly scary. It the dark history in the sixties

335
00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:15.200
<v Speaker 2>where people were saying that doctor Martin Luther King was

336
00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:18.720
<v Speaker 2>a communist, he was a threat to our culture, threat

337
00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:25.319
<v Speaker 2>to our society. The FBI, the CIA, everybody was looking

338
00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:30.480
<v Speaker 2>at this guy, a light upon him, and they dehumanized

339
00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:33.880
<v Speaker 2>him so far that people thought it was okay to

340
00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:36.599
<v Speaker 2>take him out, to kill him. Here's the bottom line.

341
00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:38.799
<v Speaker 2>We now understand that doctor King was one of the

342
00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:42.079
<v Speaker 2>greatest Americans to ever live. He was one of those

343
00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:46.400
<v Speaker 2>men who understood the Constitution. He understood that being conservative

344
00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:49.319
<v Speaker 2>and saying that all of us are made equal, no

345
00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:53.680
<v Speaker 2>matter the color of your skin. Right. Obviously, Representative Crockett

346
00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:57.599
<v Speaker 2>has lost that right. Maybe she's missed something in her teaching,

347
00:20:57.640 --> 00:21:00.720
<v Speaker 2>in her history of America. But you can d humanize

348
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:04.039
<v Speaker 2>somebody far enough, Dan Carroll, that you can then come

349
00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:06.799
<v Speaker 2>to these conclusions that it's okay to kill them. I

350
00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:11.240
<v Speaker 2>put this right at the at the footsteps of mass

351
00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:16.359
<v Speaker 2>mainstream media. They continue to push these narratives and dehumanize

352
00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:19.440
<v Speaker 2>the leaders that you just identify, and if they get

353
00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:23.279
<v Speaker 2>away with it, right, which we hope they won't shame

354
00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:26.000
<v Speaker 2>on all of us. So you being outspoken about it,

355
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:30.079
<v Speaker 2>I think is incredibly critical. The Democrats right now just

356
00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:33.079
<v Speaker 2>don't have any solutions. That's why they're bathing in all

357
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:34.960
<v Speaker 2>of this. You know, when you sit back and you say, well,

358
00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:39.119
<v Speaker 2>what is your solution to the disparity in trade? I

359
00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:41.240
<v Speaker 2>don't have a solution to that. So what do you

360
00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:44.799
<v Speaker 2>think your solution is? When we're dealing with China stealing

361
00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:49.680
<v Speaker 2>our secrets, meaning our technology companies have been screaming from

362
00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:55.039
<v Speaker 2>the rooftops that China is literally stealing our intellectual property? Democrats,

363
00:21:55.079 --> 00:21:57.720
<v Speaker 2>what is your solution to that? See, at the end

364
00:21:57.759 --> 00:22:00.599
<v Speaker 2>of the day, these elections locally, that's why supporting this

365
00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:03.960
<v Speaker 2>guy named Corey Bowman here in Cincinnati for mayor who's

366
00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:06.720
<v Speaker 2>running as a Republican because I'm tired of the status quo.

367
00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:10.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm tired of my potholes. I'm tired of bridges falling,

368
00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:12.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm tired of the flood's happening and we don't know

369
00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:14.880
<v Speaker 2>where the mayor is. I'm tired of all of these

370
00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:19.200
<v Speaker 2>no answers and this cultural warfare that we're having. I

371
00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:23.039
<v Speaker 2>love Americans, I love this country. I'm glad that I'm

372
00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:25.480
<v Speaker 2>an American. I'm going to fight for this country and

373
00:22:25.559 --> 00:22:28.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm betting on America. I'm betting on the executive branch.

374
00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:32.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm betting off President Trump and whoever was the president.

375
00:22:32.519 --> 00:22:35.119
<v Speaker 2>I've always been a person to bet on America, it

376
00:22:35.160 --> 00:22:37.720
<v Speaker 2>didn't matter who was in the White House. We're living

377
00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:40.400
<v Speaker 2>in a time now where people think it's okay as

378
00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:43.720
<v Speaker 2>an American to bet against our own country. That is

379
00:22:43.799 --> 00:22:48.200
<v Speaker 2>absolutely up sane, obscene, and a complete shameful thing for

380
00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:52.279
<v Speaker 2>anyone to say. China is the target. China wants to

381
00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:55.599
<v Speaker 2>take us over. The government of China, not the people

382
00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:59.119
<v Speaker 2>are the enemy of the United States of America, and

383
00:22:59.160 --> 00:23:03.559
<v Speaker 2>they've made that very clear. Please, please, listening, audience, give

384
00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:07.319
<v Speaker 2>the executive branch the opportunity to solve some of these

385
00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:10.720
<v Speaker 2>big problems. Because most politicians want to kick the can

386
00:23:10.839 --> 00:23:13.000
<v Speaker 2>down the road. They don't want to deal with the

387
00:23:13.039 --> 00:23:16.200
<v Speaker 2>big problems. That's what you're talking about, Dan Carroll. If

388
00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:19.400
<v Speaker 2>you give the executive branch the opportunity to deal with

389
00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:21.880
<v Speaker 2>the big problems, we know they'll be short term pain,

390
00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:25.039
<v Speaker 2>but there will be long term game, all right.

391
00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:27.680
<v Speaker 1>When with that, Chris Smitherman We've got to run. You
