<v Speaker 1>Tell you about the States rights issue for regarding abortion.

00:00:03.319 --> 00:00:10.080
<v Speaker 2>Fifty five KRZ the talk station eight six. Here at

3
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:12.640
<v Speaker 2>fifty five KRCD Talk Station, a very happy Wednesday to you.

4
00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Bottom They are, of course Judgenna Paula Tunn. We'll here

5
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:17.760
<v Speaker 2>from Ed Fink later in the program about the Veterans

6
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:19.760
<v Speaker 2>Day of animul Or High School. And right now we're

7
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:23.320
<v Speaker 2>going to hear from one of the most stark contrast

8
00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:26.160
<v Speaker 2>races that there is that we are going to be

9
00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:28.640
<v Speaker 2>voting on. Unless you have already voted, it is the

10
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:32.679
<v Speaker 2>prosecutor here in Hamilton County. In terms of the contrast

11
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:37.280
<v Speaker 2>and the vast difference in the experience level and qualifications

12
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:39.600
<v Speaker 2>for this job, this is the ultimate no brainer. At

13
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:42.240
<v Speaker 2>least it should be the only person with a sufficient

14
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:46.240
<v Speaker 2>experience and demonstrably proven talent in the office is my

15
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:49.920
<v Speaker 2>guest right now, Hamilton County Prosecutor Melissa Powers, Welcome back

16
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:52.479
<v Speaker 2>to the program. It's always a pleasure speaking with you.

17
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:56.560
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, Brian, thank you so much for having me today.

18
00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:00.119
<v Speaker 2>Love having you on the program. Powersfoprosecutor dot com was

19
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.399
<v Speaker 2>where you find and I even encouraged my listeners last

20
00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:05.879
<v Speaker 2>time you and I spoke. I said, go ahead, pull

21
00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:07.959
<v Speaker 2>up Connie Pillach's site and take a look at what

22
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.040
<v Speaker 2>she thinks qualifies her for the mission or the job,

23
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:15.280
<v Speaker 2>and look at your resume coupled with your demonstrated proved

24
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:18.439
<v Speaker 2>abilities as Hamilton County prosecutor. This should be I mean,

25
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:23.280
<v Speaker 2>there is. This shouldn't be even a choice here, I would.

26
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:25.879
<v Speaker 1>Agree, Brian, there is not. This is a clear choice.

27
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:28.599
<v Speaker 1>It's so easy. It's just getting the message out to

28
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:33.159
<v Speaker 1>all the voters. The big difference between myself and my opponent.

29
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:38.120
<v Speaker 1>I spent my career as an attorney in the courtroom,

30
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:43.840
<v Speaker 1>whether a prosecutor, a civil litigator, doing defense work. Sixteen

31
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:47.599
<v Speaker 1>years as a judge in adult court and juvenile court.

32
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:53.079
<v Speaker 1>I've been fighting on behalf of victims. I've prosecuted murderers, rapist, burglars,

33
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:56.599
<v Speaker 1>the most dangerous criminals in our county. And my opponent

34
00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:00.040
<v Speaker 1>has never prosecuted a single case. She hasn't been in

35
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:02.799
<v Speaker 1>side of courtroom in over twenty years. She let her

36
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:06.840
<v Speaker 1>law license lapse and literally has shown no interest in

37
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:10.960
<v Speaker 1>be an attorney. You don't do that and not maintain

38
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:14.759
<v Speaker 1>your law license. And then even since reactivating her license

39
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:16.960
<v Speaker 1>in order to put her name on the ballot. She's

40
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:19.479
<v Speaker 1>never handled a single case. She had two years to

41
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:22.960
<v Speaker 1>pick up some cases, to get familiar again, to actually

42
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:25.960
<v Speaker 1>be able to say to voters, hey, listen, I'm out here,

43
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:29.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm serious about running for this position. And she hasn't

44
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:33.560
<v Speaker 1>even done that. It's a clear choice. It scares me

45
00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:37.800
<v Speaker 1>that how inexperienced she is. And then also what scares

46
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:40.360
<v Speaker 1>me so much through the future of our county is

47
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:44.240
<v Speaker 1>that she's aligned herself with these radical ideas from the

48
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:49.560
<v Speaker 1>left of defunding the police, putting the criminal's rights in

49
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:52.639
<v Speaker 1>front of you know before and that's paramount before any

50
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:55.680
<v Speaker 1>victims or even the safety of the community. She is

51
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:59.520
<v Speaker 1>being supported by the Working Families Party, which is basically

52
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:04.120
<v Speaker 1>a George Soro's New York out of state type of

53
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:08.319
<v Speaker 1>this point, putting money into her campaign and they publicly

54
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:13.560
<v Speaker 1>support defunding the police, abolishing cash bail, and then radically

55
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:17.520
<v Speaker 1>reforming our justice system. We know those policies don't work.

56
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:20.280
<v Speaker 1>We've seen it across the country where these cities have

57
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:24.120
<v Speaker 1>just failed, beautiful cities, and we have gone made so

58
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:28.000
<v Speaker 1>much progress in Cincinnati. Plus, this is my hometown. I

59
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:30.719
<v Speaker 1>love our county and our city. That's why I'm running.

60
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:34.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to save our county from these radical ideas

61
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:37.520
<v Speaker 1>that are out there and my opponents right along with them,

62
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:40.479
<v Speaker 1>and we have to fight. We have to fight for everyone,

63
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:42.199
<v Speaker 1>invite for our community.

64
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:45.719
<v Speaker 2>Certainly, and your record demonstrates that. And i'd really like

65
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:47.919
<v Speaker 2>to highlight the fact that you started the first veterans

66
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:51.400
<v Speaker 2>treatment court in the state history, because I have a

67
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:54.000
<v Speaker 2>really really close connection with veterans because I have such

68
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:56.759
<v Speaker 2>tremendous respect for them, But the idea that you focused

69
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:59.240
<v Speaker 2>on them and the issues that they face that are

70
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:02.439
<v Speaker 2>truly unique compared to the regular run of the mill

71
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:04.960
<v Speaker 2>working folks out here in the world. So I salute

72
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:07.639
<v Speaker 2>you for that. But also as juvenile court judge, you

73
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:10.120
<v Speaker 2>did a hell of a great job with our struggling

74
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:14.120
<v Speaker 2>juvenile population and you just got this really solid record

75
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:17.000
<v Speaker 2>to run on. But pivoting over to the contrast, if

76
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:21.160
<v Speaker 2>George Soros is supporting Connie Pillage, that speaks volumes, because

77
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:22.920
<v Speaker 2>you can tell a lot by the company you keep.

78
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:26.399
<v Speaker 2>But I had a conversation earlier today Jim Neal, of

79
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:29.959
<v Speaker 2>course running for sheriff against Charmie McGuffey, and I asked

80
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:33.759
<v Speaker 2>him about illegal immigration. Lachland obviously is on the radar.

81
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:38.319
<v Speaker 2>It's a national story. Thirty three thousand Mauritanians have descended

82
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:41.519
<v Speaker 2>on a town of thirty four hundred people. The logistics

83
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:43.920
<v Speaker 2>behind that are just baffling. And I'm not pointing at

84
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:47.040
<v Speaker 2>the Martinian community or those folks in Lachland as being

85
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:52.120
<v Speaker 2>a criminal element. But there are immigrants legal or otherwise,

86
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:54.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean illegal ones is what I'm focusing on, which

87
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:58.759
<v Speaker 2>who do commit crimes. Cincinnati is a sanctuary city, and

88
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:01.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm just kind of curious to know your perception is

89
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:03.720
<v Speaker 2>about how the since a police department is in so

90
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:06.480
<v Speaker 2>far as working with Ice, and how the current Hamilton

91
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:08.920
<v Speaker 2>County sheriff is in so far as working with ICE,

92
00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:12.439
<v Speaker 2>and how what your perception is in so far as

93
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:14.720
<v Speaker 2>the Prosecutor's office working with ICE.

94
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:21.399
<v Speaker 1>Well, I believe all the police departments are working with ICE. However,

95
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:25.120
<v Speaker 1>as you said, since it has been our city has

96
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:29.399
<v Speaker 1>been declared by the mayor sanctuary city, that has kind

97
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:32.759
<v Speaker 1>of has put some red blocks in the way of

98
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:37.000
<v Speaker 1>working making sure that ICE has the appropriate detainers if

99
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:41.000
<v Speaker 1>someone commits a crime. Now, a while back, we had

100
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:44.879
<v Speaker 1>some issues going on with the Chileans coming into our

101
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:49.040
<v Speaker 1>city and then they were burglarizing homes in particular neighborhoods,

102
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:53.959
<v Speaker 1>and then they're very difficult there. They're a international, highly

103
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:59.079
<v Speaker 1>sophisticated organized criminal gang unit. And through Chile, because of

104
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:02.120
<v Speaker 1>the visa way, they were able easily able to come

105
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:05.600
<v Speaker 1>into our country. They would fly into Miami, rent a car,

106
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:10.079
<v Speaker 1>drive up and be burglarizing homes and in affluent areas

107
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:15.120
<v Speaker 1>in many cities, whether it was outside of Nashville, Atlanta, Cincinnati,

108
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:19.839
<v Speaker 1>they would go up to New York, Connecticut, Michigan, and

109
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:23.839
<v Speaker 1>so they were very elusive, very difficult to catch. And

110
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:26.680
<v Speaker 1>I can't remember the exact number that we were dealing

111
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:29.079
<v Speaker 1>with last year of homes that were broken into. But

112
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:34.759
<v Speaker 1>when the police departments, other agencies, outside agencies, neighbor agencies

113
00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:39.279
<v Speaker 1>such as Amberley or Montgomery or Indian Hill, these smaller

114
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:43.639
<v Speaker 1>agencies would would apprehend. They got very lucky through their

115
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:47.279
<v Speaker 1>hard work and they were able to apprehend one of

116
00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:51.480
<v Speaker 1>the gangs that came through here. Once they got down

117
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:55.759
<v Speaker 1>to the jail, we had very low bonds set by

118
00:06:55.959 --> 00:07:00.319
<v Speaker 1>a I guess a liberal judge, and then and there

119
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:03.639
<v Speaker 1>no with no detainer to hold them, so you didn't

120
00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:05.639
<v Speaker 1>have that ICE detainer to hold them. And of course

121
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:08.319
<v Speaker 1>they got out, They got out on ankle bracelets. You

122
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:10.959
<v Speaker 1>know exactly what happened. They went left that to their country,

123
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:14.800
<v Speaker 1>so we had no opportunity to prosecute them. It was

124
00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:17.800
<v Speaker 1>when that happened that came to my attention. I started

125
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:20.600
<v Speaker 1>working with the share of trying to convince, you know,

126
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:24.759
<v Speaker 1>their policy as ineffective. It wasn't working. That took almost

127
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:27.160
<v Speaker 1>a year to get changed, and I'm not quite sure

128
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:30.439
<v Speaker 1>that if I think at this point she's willing to

129
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:32.639
<v Speaker 1>work with ICE, but for a long time it was

130
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:36.720
<v Speaker 1>very difficult to get that, to get her to understand

131
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:38.439
<v Speaker 1>that her policy was ineffective.

132
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:42.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, she is supported by George Soros outside money. According

133
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:44.319
<v Speaker 2>to Jim neil, So that speaks volumes in and of

134
00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:49.959
<v Speaker 2>itself prosecutor powers. There is a regular ad campaign. I

135
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:52.600
<v Speaker 2>mean even I have I'm so sick of hearing it

136
00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:55.800
<v Speaker 2>that I can almost recite it. But suggesting that you

137
00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:59.120
<v Speaker 2>are somehow going to prosecute women who have abortions, now

138
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:01.560
<v Speaker 2>I know well, and you can have any position you

139
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:04.879
<v Speaker 2>want as an individual in your status on abortions, but

140
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:06.680
<v Speaker 2>there are laws on the books, and now we have

141
00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:10.040
<v Speaker 2>a constitutional amendment which protects women's rights along those lines.

142
00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:13.040
<v Speaker 2>You want to address that question head on prosecutor powers.

143
00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:16.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, then I've been trying to speak out and wherever

144
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:20.439
<v Speaker 1>I go to make sure that people understand. First of all,

145
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:23.279
<v Speaker 1>it's a mess comical that she has to pivot to

146
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:27.720
<v Speaker 1>these national issues in an attempt to scare our voters

147
00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:30.519
<v Speaker 1>or try to make voters vote for her, to make

148
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:32.960
<v Speaker 1>this distinction on abortion. I mean, it's just kind of

149
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:35.879
<v Speaker 1>a playbook right out of the Democratic Party. We're talking

150
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.200
<v Speaker 1>about local issues here. First of all, this abortion has

151
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:43.519
<v Speaker 1>absolutely nothing to do with my race. But she's falsely

152
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:49.000
<v Speaker 1>claiming I'll prosecute women that will get abortions. Now, it's

153
00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:53.440
<v Speaker 1>a constitutional protected right. It was voted by our in

154
00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:57.600
<v Speaker 1>last November elections. The voters overwhelmingly past that. As part

155
00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:00.679
<v Speaker 1>of our Ohio constitution, I take an I have to

156
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:04.200
<v Speaker 1>uphold that law or law, the laws of the United States,

157
00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:07.159
<v Speaker 1>the laws of Ohio, the Constitution of the United States,

158
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:11.120
<v Speaker 1>the constitution of Ohio. So the absolute answer is, there

159
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:15.399
<v Speaker 1>is no way that I'm prosecuting women if they get

160
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:20.960
<v Speaker 1>a legal abortion. Secondly, this whole thing about if I had.

161
00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:23.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I've been in the office room as two

162
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:27.200
<v Speaker 1>years not one female has been prosecuted for an abortion.

163
00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:29.919
<v Speaker 1>And quite honestly, Brian, let's go back in the farther,

164
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:32.759
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know. I've been doing this for thirty

165
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:36.440
<v Speaker 1>two years. I've never heard of any woman in Ohio

166
00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:40.480
<v Speaker 1>and Hamilton County have ever been prosecuted for having an

167
00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:44.720
<v Speaker 1>abortion ever in my thirty two years. So to bring

168
00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:47.519
<v Speaker 1>this up, and to run a commercial and to be

169
00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:51.360
<v Speaker 1>going and sending letters out to every zip code to

170
00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:54.360
<v Speaker 1>try to tell women, that scares me. Either she doesn't

171
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:59.240
<v Speaker 1>know the law or she's intentionally misleading the public, and

172
00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:02.559
<v Speaker 1>either way can't trust her. She's not telling you the truth.

173
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, that falls into the category you choose, or maybe

174
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:09.240
<v Speaker 2>it's a combination of both nefarious or stupid. The farious

175
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:11.320
<v Speaker 2>in the sense she's lying, or stupid in the sense that,

176
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:13.799
<v Speaker 2>as you pointed out, doesn't understand the constitution of the

177
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:16.360
<v Speaker 2>state of Ohio is ensuring abortion as the right. The

178
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:19.360
<v Speaker 2>other thing that you point out, and I noted that

179
00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:21.919
<v Speaker 2>she was calling and what is the point of this

180
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:26.519
<v Speaker 2>exercise for independent audits of cases that were already reviewed

181
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:29.679
<v Speaker 2>and affirmed by courts of Appeals. What is that about.

182
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, Brian, it makes no sense to me, because we

183
00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:39.000
<v Speaker 1>have within our within the justice system, and is that

184
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:42.679
<v Speaker 1>you can if there's a conviction, you can appeal your case,

185
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:45.399
<v Speaker 1>and that you can go to the Court of Appeals,

186
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:47.600
<v Speaker 1>and if you don't like that decision, you can try

187
00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:50.639
<v Speaker 1>to get into the higher Supreme Court. On criminal cases,

188
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:54.679
<v Speaker 1>you can even go to federal court, to the sisters

189
00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:59.279
<v Speaker 1>sixth District in the United State Supreme Court. His idea

190
00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:04.080
<v Speaker 1>of auditing cases that have already been reviewed, it makes

191
00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:06.480
<v Speaker 1>no sense to me. It tells me she doesn't know

192
00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:10.200
<v Speaker 1>what the system, how the system even works, and that's

193
00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:14.159
<v Speaker 1>that's pretty scary. Again, there's no need for it. I

194
00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:17.120
<v Speaker 1>think I don't know exactly what she has in mind.

195
00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:22.519
<v Speaker 1>She claims this is from her internal her military experience.

196
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:25.600
<v Speaker 1>You do this internally, and it doesn't make any sense

197
00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:29.639
<v Speaker 1>at all. Well, and it's just I think it's useless

198
00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:30.600
<v Speaker 1>and ridiculous.

199
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:33.559
<v Speaker 2>Well, if she was even I will articulate a reason

200
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:36.360
<v Speaker 2>for it. There is a finite number of dollars in

201
00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:38.960
<v Speaker 2>the county, and of course engaging in that review process

202
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:41.279
<v Speaker 2>seems to me it would cost a whole lot of

203
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:44.080
<v Speaker 2>taxpayer money for again, any pointless gesture.

204
00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:47.320
<v Speaker 1>I would agree with you. And that's one thing that

205
00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:50.320
<v Speaker 1>I've done throughout my thirty now going into my thirty

206
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:53.919
<v Speaker 1>second year my career, is that I've always been a

207
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:58.120
<v Speaker 1>watchdog for taxpayers money. I have started many programs such

208
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:00.799
<v Speaker 1>as like you mentioned earlier, the Better Treating the Court.

209
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:05.360
<v Speaker 1>I did that without one dime of taxpayers money being spent.

210
00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:10.679
<v Speaker 1>I've started a gang unit and within internally within our office. Again,

211
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:14.799
<v Speaker 1>I can do these things without taxpayers money and to

212
00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:17.519
<v Speaker 1>be spending money, and it seems like the other side

213
00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:19.919
<v Speaker 1>all they want to do is throw money, and they

214
00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:23.320
<v Speaker 1>think they're solving problems with money, and really often it

215
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:25.399
<v Speaker 1>really produces little results.

216
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Little result, lots of money. I'll tell you what, Hamilton

217
00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:32.679
<v Speaker 2>County Prosecuting Melissa Powers. I dearly, dearly, pray and hope

218
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:35.480
<v Speaker 2>that we can continue to call you Hamilton County Prosecuting

219
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:38.799
<v Speaker 2>Melissa Powers after next Tuesday. I'll strongly encourage my listeners

220
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:41.120
<v Speaker 2>to just go ahead. If they don't believe you and

221
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:43.960
<v Speaker 2>don't believe me, do the research yourself. It's prop Powers

222
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:46.600
<v Speaker 2>from prosecutor dot com. Check out the record, then you

223
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:48.840
<v Speaker 2>go check Connie Pillach's website and you can see if

224
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:52.320
<v Speaker 2>you can figure out one thing that puts her ahead

225
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:55.320
<v Speaker 2>of the game when it comes to qualifications for the office.

226
00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:57.240
<v Speaker 2>It has been a distinct pleasure having you on my

227
00:12:57.320 --> 00:12:59.279
<v Speaker 2>program all these years, and I hope we continue to

228
00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:02.039
<v Speaker 2>do it in your as Hamilton County Prosecute and Melissa Powers.

229
00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:04.600
<v Speaker 2>God bless you keep up the great work and best

230
00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:07.320
<v Speaker 2>of luck as we head into Tuesday.

231
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:09.320
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Brian, and I want to thank you and

232
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:12.919
<v Speaker 1>your listeners for your support. I've had support from It

233
00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:15.720
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter what party you're from, if you're a Republican,

234
00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:18.919
<v Speaker 1>a Democrat, or an independent, you're voting for your safety

235
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:22.399
<v Speaker 1>when you're voting for me. I've had support throughout almost

236
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:25.080
<v Speaker 1>every zip code in the county, and it just chose

237
00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:27.320
<v Speaker 1>and I think how important is race is to the

238
00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:31.360
<v Speaker 1>future of our county. So I'll continue to fight until

239
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:35.960
<v Speaker 1>and hopefully win everyone's vote and be successful on November fifth.

240
00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:36.639
<v Speaker 1>Thank you.

241
00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:39.440
<v Speaker 2>I pray for that outcome. Hamilton County Prosecuting Melissa Powers
