Join us for an insightful conversation with Christopher Smitherman, the former vice mayor of Cincinnati, as we navigate through personal milestones and global events that shape our world. We begin with a tribute to Pope Francis, reflecting on his influential role as the first Jesuit pope and the legacy he leaves behind. We ponder the upcoming conclave and express our hopes for a successor who remains steadfast in Catholic doctrines, providing a much-needed anchor of faith in today's dynamic world.
Switching gears, we dissect the critical issues of public accountability and financial ethics. Our chat touches on the complexities surrounding protests involving public figures, and the legal implications of such events. We also examine the controversial topic of federal funding for wealthy universities like Harvard and Columbia, questioning the fairness and necessity of such support. Are these institutions truly deserving of taxpayer money? We invite you to join our thought-provoking exploration of these pressing topics and consider the responsibilities that come with privilege and power.
