<v Speaker 1>have to see you there and I'm always happy to

5
00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:12.480
<v Speaker 1>have Hamilin County Prosecuting Melissa Powers on the program. Of

6
00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:15.359
<v Speaker 1>course we need to keep Melissa Powers as Hamilton County Prosecutor.

7
00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:19.160
<v Speaker 1>This Novembers vote is all critical and all important in

8
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:22.000
<v Speaker 1>the name of law and order and prosecuting the bad guys.

9
00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:25.079
<v Speaker 1>Vote Melissa Powers. You can find her online Powers for

10
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Prosecutor dot com. Melissa Powers, Welcome back to the Morning Show.

11
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:30.280
<v Speaker 1>It's always great having you on the program.

12
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:34.719
<v Speaker 2>Thanks Brian, good morning. It's great to be here once again.

13
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:37.159
<v Speaker 1>Of course you're on because we need to vote for you,

14
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:39.880
<v Speaker 1>but you're also wanting to help us understand why it's

15
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:43.520
<v Speaker 1>a good thing maybe to engage in the early voting process,

16
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:47.039
<v Speaker 1>something that Republicans are kind of behind the times on.

17
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Democrats have always taken advantage of early voting and it's

18
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:54.119
<v Speaker 1>worked to their advantage in a lot of races. You

19
00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:55.960
<v Speaker 1>can vote, vote early, get it out of the way

20
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:58.600
<v Speaker 1>that way. On election day, maybe if you can't make it,

21
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:01.119
<v Speaker 1>you're sick. You still have voto did already. Is that

22
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:01.759
<v Speaker 1>your position?

23
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:07.599
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely? And we keep getting beats. And when I say we,

24
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:13.879
<v Speaker 2>the conservatives or the independence that lean conservative, seem to

25
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:17.239
<v Speaker 2>get beat by this early voting. So the Democrat has

26
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:21.760
<v Speaker 2>an incredible machine. They're absolutely doing a fantastic job getting

27
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:27.319
<v Speaker 2>the early voters out, blessing them directly in person to

28
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:30.400
<v Speaker 2>the Board of Elections to vote. And we need just

29
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:33.200
<v Speaker 2>to do a better job the election. There's sometimes the

30
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:36.640
<v Speaker 2>elections get so there's so much in the early vote

31
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:40.439
<v Speaker 2>and so many ballots cast so early on that any

32
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:45.760
<v Speaker 2>type of conservative leaning candidate is in such a deficit

33
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:47.480
<v Speaker 2>it's so hard to make up on the day of

34
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:50.519
<v Speaker 2>the election. So we want to encourage everyone get out

35
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:54.840
<v Speaker 2>to vote. Vote early. It's safe, it's secure, it's legal.

36
00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:58.480
<v Speaker 2>And the last presidential election, sixty percent of all the

37
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:01.840
<v Speaker 2>votes cast that were cast early, either by mail or

38
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:04.840
<v Speaker 2>by going in person to the Board of Elections. So

39
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:07.760
<v Speaker 2>we want you to get out and vote. Vote early.

40
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:14.000
<v Speaker 2>It's convenient. You know, obviously life can be unpredictable, and

41
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:16.719
<v Speaker 2>if you get your ballot in early, there's an entire

42
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:20.639
<v Speaker 2>month that you can cast your votes, either in person

43
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:23.919
<v Speaker 2>or by mail. I think mail is the easiest. I

44
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:26.439
<v Speaker 2>would encourage everyone to do the mail because you can

45
00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:30.360
<v Speaker 2>do your research on your candidates, vote the entire ballot,

46
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:33.560
<v Speaker 2>making sure and then putting it back in the mail

47
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:37.039
<v Speaker 2>is perfectly fine and safe. If you are worried about

48
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:39.759
<v Speaker 2>your ballot that you put in the mail, it can

49
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:43.919
<v Speaker 2>always be tracked at the Board of Elections website. So

50
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:44.800
<v Speaker 2>it's really great.

51
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:48.439
<v Speaker 1>It is. It's easy to and I would immediately it's

52
00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:51.759
<v Speaker 1>interject while I can props for the Hemlin County Board

53
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:54.680
<v Speaker 1>of Elections. I've gone there and voted early. I've been

54
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:57.639
<v Speaker 1>there on days when there's a line. It moves quickly.

55
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:01.080
<v Speaker 1>It's efficient, it's simple to do. I'm glad they put

56
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:02.599
<v Speaker 1>it there as opposed to where it used to be

57
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:05.719
<v Speaker 1>in downtown Cincinnati. Because there's plenty of parking, it's easy

58
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:08.000
<v Speaker 1>to get in and out of. There's really no downside

59
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:09.879
<v Speaker 1>to going in and vote in the Board of Elections early.

60
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:14.639
<v Speaker 2>You're absolutely right, it's really easy. I think you know.

61
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:18.000
<v Speaker 2>I know that my ninety year old mother voted the

62
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:21.120
<v Speaker 2>last presidential election at the Board of Elections and waited

63
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:23.680
<v Speaker 2>in line for a very very long time, So this

64
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:27.400
<v Speaker 2>time we're encouraging her to vote by mail. She's already

65
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:33.199
<v Speaker 2>submitted her application to vote by mail. Anyone can request

66
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:37.240
<v Speaker 2>an application, and just recently, every registered voter in Ohio

67
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:41.680
<v Speaker 2>received an absentee vote by mail application from our Secretary

68
00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:44.639
<v Speaker 2>of State. So it's not a scam. We want to

69
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:47.240
<v Speaker 2>make sure that you know. Just fill that out, mail

70
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:50.960
<v Speaker 2>it back in, and by October eighth, when early voting starts,

71
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:54.199
<v Speaker 2>you'll receive your ballot in the mail.

72
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:57.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's simple to do. I got mine the other day,

73
00:03:57.439 --> 00:03:59.680
<v Speaker 1>and there was some confusion among the listening audience. I

74
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.280
<v Speaker 1>had some and call in and say I got a

75
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:04.879
<v Speaker 1>ballot sent to me in the mail, and in fact

76
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:09.840
<v Speaker 1>it was not about it actually was the application to

77
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:12.680
<v Speaker 1>absent d vote, So yeah, don't be confused by that.

78
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:15.439
<v Speaker 1>I'd also pay attention to who's sending because what you'll

79
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:18.959
<v Speaker 1>get should be from the Secretary of State's office, not

80
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:23.360
<v Speaker 1>some other entity.

81
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:25.800
<v Speaker 2>Exactly, and it's you'll be I've received mine. It was

82
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:28.680
<v Speaker 2>very easy to tell that this was and I thought

83
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:31.959
<v Speaker 2>it was a wonderful convenience fire Secretariat State to mail

84
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:36.360
<v Speaker 2>that to registered voters. It's even easier because I had

85
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:40.800
<v Speaker 2>already gone online to the Board of Election myself and

86
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:45.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, a printed off the application and mailed it

87
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:47.399
<v Speaker 2>in and I realized I even have to do that

88
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:49.879
<v Speaker 2>because it was sent to me by the Secretariat State.

89
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:52.480
<v Speaker 2>So if you haven't gotten that, I would go make

90
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:56.759
<v Speaker 2>sure you're registered. You have to register prior to October seventh,

91
00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:58.480
<v Speaker 2>and you do that by going on the Board of

92
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:02.519
<v Speaker 2>Elections website. If maybe you've moved to a different location

93
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:05.639
<v Speaker 2>within Hamilton County or in whatever county that you are,

94
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:10.519
<v Speaker 2>make sure that you check that. I think that's not

95
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:13.480
<v Speaker 2>a bad idea. But what I really want to stress

96
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:16.199
<v Speaker 2>too is that once you get your ballot, it's this election,

97
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:19.639
<v Speaker 2>at least in Hamilton County, it's never been more important

98
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:22.279
<v Speaker 2>to fill out the entire ballot. We have a number

99
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:25.279
<v Speaker 2>of judicial candidates that are on the ballot. We want

100
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:29.240
<v Speaker 2>to make sure that you're voting for candidates that support

101
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:33.399
<v Speaker 2>law in order, that follow the law, and that will

102
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:38.920
<v Speaker 2>make sure safety. Your safety is important when they make

103
00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:40.800
<v Speaker 2>their decisions.

104
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:43.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and it's easy to do. The Hamilton County Republican

105
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:45.839
<v Speaker 1>Party has taken care of that. They have identified those

106
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:48.399
<v Speaker 1>judges who are tough on crime and who are great

107
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:52.560
<v Speaker 1>about law and order and who actually will you require

108
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:55.680
<v Speaker 1>bail for folks who are likely to flee the jurisdiction

109
00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:58.879
<v Speaker 1>or otherwise commit heinous crimes while they're out on bail.

110
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:00.839
<v Speaker 1>We've runted a lot of problems with that, and you've

111
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:04.639
<v Speaker 1>done a wonderful job on your Facebook page highlighting the

112
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:09.439
<v Speaker 1>judges that do and do not have a set bail properly.

113
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Thank you. We want to make sure that the information

114
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:15.879
<v Speaker 2>is getting to the voters and that you know, a

115
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:18.720
<v Speaker 2>lot of people don't get the news from inside the

116
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:21.680
<v Speaker 2>courthouse and so they can form their own opinion. We're

117
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:24.439
<v Speaker 2>just stating the facts of you know, this judge did

118
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:28.000
<v Speaker 2>set a low bond or no, they had an o

119
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.560
<v Speaker 2>R bond, which is no cash having to be posted

120
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:35.600
<v Speaker 2>on gun charges or serious offenses where we're concerned about

121
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:38.839
<v Speaker 2>the safety of the community. So we want to point

122
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:41.759
<v Speaker 2>that out. But we also point out judges that set

123
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:45.639
<v Speaker 2>good bonds, you know, and that we buil are good

124
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:49.120
<v Speaker 2>bonds on serious cases. And you can make your own

125
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:51.680
<v Speaker 2>opinion based on that too. You may agree or disagree

126
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:53.680
<v Speaker 2>that at least you've got the information.

127
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:56.240
<v Speaker 1>It's easy to find all those judges right there at

128
00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Hamilton kundarepublican party dot org. Just click on candidates and

129
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:01.879
<v Speaker 1>thank you from Donald Trump all the way down to

130
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:05.439
<v Speaker 1>the Supreme Court judges, into the Juvenile Court judges and

131
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:08.519
<v Speaker 1>Domestic relations Court judges, etc. They're all right there. It's

132
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:11.000
<v Speaker 1>easy to do and take the time to do that

133
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:14.360
<v Speaker 1>in advance because so many people are caught off guard

134
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:16.000
<v Speaker 1>when they get into the voting booth and it kind

135
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:18.480
<v Speaker 1>of amazes me. But then again, me having a connection

136
00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:22.680
<v Speaker 1>with the judicial system to some degree, give them my background.

137
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:26.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm interested in the judicial races. But if you walk

138
00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:28.920
<v Speaker 1>in uninformed, that's a real puzzler when it comes to

139
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:32.120
<v Speaker 1>election day because they're usually not identified by party status,

140
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:34.920
<v Speaker 1>unless of course they're on the pink slip or the

141
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:38.240
<v Speaker 1>blue slip. My understanding, go ahead.

142
00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:41.000
<v Speaker 2>I was just going to say, you're absolutely early voting.

143
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:45.120
<v Speaker 2>What helps us? And some people think, well, why vote early?

144
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:47.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm just going to do it on election day and

145
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:50.680
<v Speaker 2>I can tell you it does help. It'll help my campaign,

146
00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:53.399
<v Speaker 2>It'll help a number of campaign We're watching who am

147
00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:56.600
<v Speaker 2>the data coming in, what groups are voting, what's not

148
00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:59.519
<v Speaker 2>And it actually helps save us money on the campaign

149
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:04.600
<v Speaker 2>because we're tracing or tracking down voters or voter groups

150
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:08.240
<v Speaker 2>that haven't already voted, and we want to get them

151
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:12.240
<v Speaker 2>out to vote. So it does help the campaigns if

152
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:14.959
<v Speaker 2>you vote early, and it saves us money because we

153
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:18.759
<v Speaker 2>can identify who's participated or who we need to encourage

154
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:19.839
<v Speaker 2>to get out there and vote.

155
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:23.639
<v Speaker 1>Excellent, excellent point on that one A twenty one fifty

156
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:25.639
<v Speaker 1>five Arrisey. You talk today Bran Thomas with Hamilin Kenny

157
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:29.879
<v Speaker 1>prosecuting Melissa Powers. It's Powers for prosecutor dot com. You

158
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:31.879
<v Speaker 1>can help her out like my mom did. My mom

159
00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:34.840
<v Speaker 1>went door to door for you the other day. Prosecutor Powers.

160
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:36.919
<v Speaker 1>Just let you know that she met you at that

161
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:39.320
<v Speaker 1>event and she got a bunch of materials and just

162
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:42.120
<v Speaker 1>started door knocking in her neighborhood. So there's one little

163
00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:44.399
<v Speaker 1>bit of effort on your behalf because she's impressed with

164
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:47.000
<v Speaker 1>you and she knows how important law enforcement is. But

165
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:47.840
<v Speaker 1>pivoting over.

166
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:52.799
<v Speaker 2>That's wonderful, that's really great news. Thank you so much.

167
00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Eighty four years young and doing the door knocking. She's dedicated.

168
00:08:57.279 --> 00:08:59.600
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, I wanted to ask you about the changes

169
00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:04.039
<v Speaker 1>to the the juvenile justice system. I understand, Governor to

170
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:06.240
<v Speaker 1>one could it a task force and then came back

171
00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:08.639
<v Speaker 1>with some recommendations, So can you explain to my listeners

172
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:09.960
<v Speaker 1>what those are and what that's all about.

173
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:13.799
<v Speaker 2>So the task force was set up and I think

174
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:16.240
<v Speaker 2>they worked for about nine minds and at the end

175
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:20.639
<v Speaker 2>they made a twenty six different recommendations to the governor.

176
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Now none of this is law yet. The governor then

177
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:28.159
<v Speaker 2>is encouraging the state legislature to incorporate the changes into law.

178
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:31.279
<v Speaker 2>So I think it's a wonderful thing that the task

179
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:35.639
<v Speaker 2>force was set up. Obviously there's different areas in juvenile

180
00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:40.039
<v Speaker 2>law that needs improvement and so or things that we

181
00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:43.679
<v Speaker 2>can be doing better so that we are the keeping

182
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:47.279
<v Speaker 2>the public safe. So we're wonderful. I think they're wonderful

183
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:52.039
<v Speaker 2>that he put that together. Now, until it's law, nothing

184
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:55.960
<v Speaker 2>will take effect and nothing will be happening. But I

185
00:09:55.960 --> 00:10:00.240
<v Speaker 2>agree with overall, what the changes have been recommended is

186
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:05.279
<v Speaker 2>smaller secured facilities versus these larger ones. There's only three

187
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:08.200
<v Speaker 2>in the state of Ohio the Department Used Services. They

188
00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:13.159
<v Speaker 2>want to create more regional, small, smaller locations of secured facilities.

189
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.559
<v Speaker 2>One would actually be in Hamilton County, which I think

190
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:21.759
<v Speaker 2>is great. We used to have a small facility and

191
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:28.360
<v Speaker 2>called Hillcrest where families could participate in therapy and counseling

192
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:31.600
<v Speaker 2>and be part of the rehabilitation process. So I think

193
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:36.039
<v Speaker 2>that it will be very effective. Hillcrest should, in my opinion,

194
00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:40.360
<v Speaker 2>still be opened and available. It was the only one

195
00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:42.360
<v Speaker 2>in the state that was of that facility, so I

196
00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:47.840
<v Speaker 2>think they're modeling it or have some similar ideas about

197
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:52.720
<v Speaker 2>the smaller secured facilities. But some of the recommendations have

198
00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:57.360
<v Speaker 2>to do with weakening sentences or dispositions for kids when

199
00:10:57.360 --> 00:11:00.679
<v Speaker 2>they have guidance being used to commit crimes, and I'm

200
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:05.639
<v Speaker 2>strongly opposed to anything that will put us in jeopardy

201
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:10.600
<v Speaker 2>in our public safety. I think it's simple, it's common

202
00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:13.720
<v Speaker 2>sense that absolutely there should be no reason for a

203
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:17.039
<v Speaker 2>child to have a gun or to use a gun

204
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:20.320
<v Speaker 2>to commit a crime. I think the penalty, if they

205
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:26.519
<v Speaker 2>stay strong, can hopefully deter future conduct or somebody even

206
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:30.000
<v Speaker 2>considering it. But if you weaken that, I think that

207
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:32.919
<v Speaker 2>that could be at risk. The deterrent could be at risk.

208
00:11:34.039 --> 00:11:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Sounds dead on to me. Getting in a juvenile I mean,

209
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:40.399
<v Speaker 1>that's the most important time if the juveniles involved in

210
00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:43.039
<v Speaker 1>the criminal justice system. I mean, that's the perfect time

211
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:45.559
<v Speaker 1>to get them out of it. And there's got to

212
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:48.960
<v Speaker 1>be a better path than leniency. I mean putting them

213
00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:52.120
<v Speaker 1>in programs, maybe they need drug counseling, whatever the case

214
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:55.559
<v Speaker 1>may be, mental health assistance. But if they're showing criminal

215
00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:57.200
<v Speaker 1>behavior at a very young age, we got a real

216
00:11:57.200 --> 00:11:58.879
<v Speaker 1>problem on our hands because it's only going to get

217
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:01.399
<v Speaker 1>worse absent really solid intervention.

218
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:06.320
<v Speaker 2>You're absolutely right, And I think, you know, I have

219
00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:09.960
<v Speaker 2>experience as a prosecutor, practicing in juvenile court, as a

220
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:13.960
<v Speaker 2>defense attorney, and then as a judge, and I think

221
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:17.639
<v Speaker 2>that's the primary difference between my opponent and I in

222
00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:21.879
<v Speaker 2>this election. She has I don't believe she ever handled

223
00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:25.519
<v Speaker 2>a case in juvenile court, has no experience dealing with

224
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:30.879
<v Speaker 2>juvenile crime, has no experience you know, as a lawyer

225
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:34.879
<v Speaker 2>with juvenile violence. And I don't know if someone like that,

226
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:38.080
<v Speaker 2>if she was, you know, running the prosecutor's office, could

227
00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:42.000
<v Speaker 2>recognize the weaknesses and what it's being proposed and where

228
00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:45.279
<v Speaker 2>to make sure the fights for public safety. And as

229
00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:48.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, my opponent wasn't even licensed to practice law

230
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:51.519
<v Speaker 2>last year. Yeah, so when we you know, there's a

231
00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:53.320
<v Speaker 2>big difference in this election.

232
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:56.279
<v Speaker 1>You know, and as you as we part company, and

233
00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:59.200
<v Speaker 1>as you mentioned that, as we part company, I can't

234
00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:03.240
<v Speaker 1>believe this is even remotely a close race. You are

235
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:07.639
<v Speaker 1>so far superior in terms of your background, your knowledge

236
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:10.320
<v Speaker 1>on the subject matter, your experience on the job, and

237
00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:14.240
<v Speaker 1>your ideas for the future. So vote Hamilton Kuty prosecuted

238
00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:16.240
<v Speaker 1>Melissa Powers and do what my mom did, go door

239
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:18.279
<v Speaker 1>to door and hand out some flyers and talk to people.

240
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:21.480
<v Speaker 1>It's Powers for prosecutor dot com until we get to

241
00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:23.240
<v Speaker 1>talk again. Keep up the great work. I wish you

242
00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:26.039
<v Speaker 1>all the best on the campaign, Melissa Powers.

243
00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:29.279
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Brian, have a great day you too.
