1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 1: The talk station. It's eight six right now, fifty five 2 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,639 Speaker 1: car Seed Talk Station. A very happy Friday Eve. Do 3 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 1: you call Thursday if you want, I prefer the former. 4 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:12,640 Speaker 1: Coming to the bottom of the hour as always, I 5 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 1: heard media aviation expert Jay Rattliffe. But I am pleased 6 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,479 Speaker 1: to welcome to the fifty five Carossee Morning show for 7 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: the first time, Judge Andrew King. You can find him 8 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 1: online at vote Andrew King dot com and you want 9 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: to do that because he is currently running for a 10 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: seat on the Ohio Supreme Court, challenging Democrat incumbent Jennifer Brunner. 11 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: Judge King, great to have you on the program this morning. 12 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,959 Speaker 2: Welcome, Well, it's great to be here. Thanks for having me. 13 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:36,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I got to observe right out of the gate. 14 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: I practice law for sixteen years and still have my 15 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: law degree, So I do understand the problems that a 16 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: judge has running for office no advisory opinions. It's how 17 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: difficult is it to keep your mouth shut and not 18 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,520 Speaker 1: try to suggest how you would rule in any given 19 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: case because you're prohibited from doing that. Judge King. 20 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 2: At KKIMB a little bit imping and frustrat and around. 21 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 2: I mean as a judge, people bring you their issues, 22 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 2: their concerns and want you to tell them how this 23 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 2: should turn out. So yeah, when you're on another campaign, 24 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 2: there's sort of a well, hey, let me tell you, 25 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 2: But as you know, we don't do that. And it's 26 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 2: really primarily because you want every case to be decided 27 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 2: on the marriage, on the issues in front of it. 28 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 2: You don't want somebody who's going to do what we've 29 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 2: seen some of these judges do, right, say, well, if 30 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 2: it's the other party, if it's a president I don't 31 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 2: like or whatever, I'm going to roll a certain way 32 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 2: or I'm going to contort myself to get to a 33 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 2: certain outcome. So you know, I could be frustrating, but 34 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 2: I think on balance it helps ensure that we be judges, 35 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 2: not politicians. And roads well, and. 36 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: This is extremely important. Your point about some judges just 37 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: a question of whose ox is being gored to hell 38 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: they're going to rule in any given decision. You need 39 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: to be firm in your constitutional understanding. You need to 40 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: be an understand that you know this case in front 41 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: of me is going to go away that I personally 42 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: might not prefer, but because I am consistent and loyal 43 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: to the law, I must rule accordingly. So that's that's 44 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: a great position to spring from firm and convictions. And 45 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: you are a what I would call a constitutional conservative, 46 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: are you not. 47 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 2: That's right, That's exactly right. And as you probably know, 48 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 2: this is that being a constitutional conservative, at least in 49 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 2: my mind, is I mean to be sure my own 50 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 2: personal values. I'm a conservative of my own life and 51 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 2: on those values. But as a judge, I have to 52 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,679 Speaker 2: apply the law the voters and legislators put in front 53 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 2: of me. But that means I apply the law. Right. 54 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 2: If it's a constitution, we're applying originalist type techniques. If 55 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 2: it's a statute, we're applying textualist type techniques. One. I 56 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 2: think that's just generally the better approach, But too it 57 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 2: has a separation of powers function right that we as 58 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 2: judges don't get to be super legislators or the super 59 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 2: governor and get to veto legislation we don't like. That's 60 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 2: not what we do. We say, you pick the words, 61 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 2: you put them on paper, you express what you want, 62 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 2: and then we'll apply it based on what you did, 63 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 2: not what we want. 64 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, and quite often that requires sending things back to 65 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: the legislative brands because they didn't do it right. In 66 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 1: the first case, it's not constitutional. It falls outside the constitution. 67 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: But unlike an activist court might do, write an opinion 68 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: drafting legislation effectively and calling that law, you say, no, 69 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: your law is struck down because it's unconstitutional. It go 70 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,239 Speaker 1: back to the drawing board and do it drawing board, 71 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: and do it right next time. I mean, that's a 72 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: tough function of judges who can often go the liberal 73 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: interpretation side of things, like I can use Roe v. 74 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: Weight as an example perfect illustration of legislative drafting. Ultimately, 75 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court overturns it because look, there's nothing in 76 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: the constitution. You know, it's like articles or it's like 77 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: Article ten kind of stuff. If we don't have a 78 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: specific reserve power, it belongs to the states. You have 79 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: at it. 80 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 2: You know, you're exactly right. And I think that was 81 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 2: a just as silly as long stand position before the 82 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 2: Dobs case was you know, show me where it's the constitution. 83 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 2: It says this, and this goes back to what I 84 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 2: was sort of saying with the textual commitment is you know, 85 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 2: we all have principles and ideas and philosophies but the 86 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 2: words are what we as lawyers, we as judges, legislators, 87 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 2: the governor when they're choosing to veto something, or the president. 88 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 2: I mean, the words are what sort of governs us 89 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 2: and drives us? And we can't pretend like we can 90 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 2: it's otherwise, and we can look past that to get 91 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 2: to a predetermined outcome. So I think it helps sort 92 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 2: of keep everyone honest. And like you said, if it's hey, 93 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 2: the statue fell outside the constitution, well there's an iterative 94 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 2: process for that. It goes back to the General Assembly 95 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 2: and they can say, all right, well let's make it 96 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 2: more narrow statute and narrow the tailored whatever it is, 97 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 2: and then we'll try again. And and you know, honest 98 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,919 Speaker 2: think on balance that's okay, because what's the point of 99 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 2: a constitution if we as the people don't hurt some 100 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 2: rights beyond the reach of ordinary legislation. So you know 101 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 2: that sometimes that happens. Is not frequently as you might 102 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 2: imagine that you would know this as a lawyer. It's 103 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 2: not like every case is that a constitutional issue working 104 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 2: in there, But when they're there, I think you got 105 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 2: to call them, you know, a strike a strike. 106 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: And the ball of all the yes you do, and 107 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 1: I got to ask just I'll strongly encourage my listeners 108 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: go to vote.

That's 116 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: for the folks who believe the Constitution means what it 117 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: says it is and its restrict adherence to these fundamental 118 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: constitutional principles. Uh, you got all kinds of your assistant 119 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: prosecutor to prosecute attorney in Delaware County.

And for my fellow 122 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: firearms owning friends and believers in the Second Amendment, I 123 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: see right out of the gate not only on your 124 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: website but also on the other materials. Proud member of 125 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 1: Right out of the Gate Buckeye Firearms and the how 126 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: Gun Collectors Association. I'm a member of the OGCA as 127 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 1: well and an NRA life member. You staunchly support the 128 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 1: Second Amendment. No advisory opinion in that judge, Can you 129 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: say it out loud, right up front? 130 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 2: Well, hey, it's in the constitution, right, It's an amendment. 131 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 2: It deserves respect. There was a long time I didn't 132 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 2: get it, and I'm proud to say I was endorsed 133 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 2: by High Rights to Life a couple of weeks ago. 134 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 2: But it was a couple of days ago, Ohio Buckeye 135 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 2: Firearms endorsed me. So I'm proud of that. As you 136 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 2: mentioned of firearms Owners've a COCHL holder for a long time, 137 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 2: and I'm you know, it's a right of equal magnitude 138 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,359 Speaker 2: of importance. And as sometimes it said, it's the second Amendment, 139 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 2: is the one that protects all the others. So I 140 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,239 Speaker 2: definitely think it's an important amendment. 141 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 1: Well, in the Second Amendment, Bruing case is another great 142 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: illustration of what you know, what the document, what the 143 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: Constitution actually means. What were the framers thinking when they 144 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: wrote the words down? That's what Bruin said, what it 145 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: existed at the time, not what we've come up with 146 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: down the road. That's completely different, and that takes the 147 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: Constitution out of what the framers had in mind when 148 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: they when they when they drafted it and and enacted 149 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: and adopted. 150 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 2: It exactly exactly. And I mean, you know, it's a 151 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 2: legislative process and a lot of things go into but 152 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 2: at the end of the day, the words were chosen 153 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 2: to carry forward some meaning, some purpose. Everyone when they 154 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 2: looked at it had some common understanding of what that meant. 155 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 2: And we can't pretend otherwise. And for a long time, 156 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 2: I think there were folks that tried to pretend the 157 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 2: Second Amendment that something other than what the texts actually 158 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 2: said shall not be frankly, so yeah, I think that 159 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 2: words are always important. 160 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: I've had a real problem and a lot of my 161 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: listeners have as well. Here in Hamilton County, we are 162 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: overwhelmed with what I will characterize this is not your words, 163 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,239 Speaker 1: Judge King, woke judges who don't believe in the point 164 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: of having a criminal justice system, which I would argue, 165 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: and as I learned in law school, includes a leg 166 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: that's important, which is you punish individuals for breaking the 167 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: law to serve as an illustration to others who might 168 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: go in the same direction that they too will suffer 169 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: the fate of others who've gone before them. It's also 170 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: to punish the individual for doing bad things also provide 171 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: some relief to family members who've been victims of crimes. 172 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: Multiple reasons there. I'm not even gonna bother suggesting you're 173 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: gonna get reformed in prison, because you know that doesn't 174 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: work out. But these judges don't seem to understand that. 175 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: I mean, we've looked to California where they decriminalize stealing. 176 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: Look what happens. Stealing becomes rampant. We don't prosecute young people. 177 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: Teenagers run amok in the city of Cincinnati. They're not 178 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: held accountable. The problem seems to get worse. Isn't it 179 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 1: not an important thing for of judges presiding over criminal 180 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 1: matters to actually meet out punishment when those individuals have 181 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. 182 00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 2: Judge King, sure, I mean it's our general Assembly put 183 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 2: it right in there, sort of the overriding purposes of 184 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 2: of sentencing this incapacity offenders, rehability offenders, and punish offenders. 185 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 2: I mean, it's right in there. So I think it's 186 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 2: absolutely true. And to your point about the judges taking 187 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 2: liberties with things in the criminal justice system. As you 188 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 2: well know that the Bow case for a few years 189 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 2: ago coming out of so then'hi there that all the 190 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 2: pre trial bond standards went away and you couldn't consider 191 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 2: not all, they couldn't consider the dangerousness of the person anymore. 192 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 2: I mean, you could have someone in for rape murder 193 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 2: and the judge now suddenly can't say, well, you know, 194 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 2: you're a danger to the community, you should stay in jail. 195 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 2: So inevitably, what happens those folks go out and they 196 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 2: were sent to me while they're habit carts hanging over them. 197 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 2: It was the craziest thing. And I'm glad the voters 198 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,319 Speaker 2: the General Assembly fixed the Supreme Court's err on that. 199 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: So am I Judge King And finally for wed Hard 200 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:06,479 Speaker 1: c Company again it's vote Andrew King dot com. How 201 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: difficult is it to be a judge? We have a 202 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: problem here in Hamilton Candy. There's a lot of judicial 203 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: spots open for the November election, but sadly no Republican candidates. 204 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: Now I understand the struggle in this very blue region 205 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: of the country, but they're not willing to run. And 206 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,959 Speaker 1: I asked out loud from people in the know, is 207 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,839 Speaker 1: it because people don't want to be a judge? And 208 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: the answer in many cases is yeah. You can't find 209 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 1: great lawyers that might be wonderful judges because they don't 210 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: want the pressure, in the stress at these modern times 211 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: bring down. You're going to be presiding over criminal matters, 212 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: maybe gang members in your court, maybe some very violent 213 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: evil people. We have social media, people are gonna doc you. 214 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: People are going to know who you are. You're an 215 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: elected official, for God's sake. Do you feel that pressure 216 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,199 Speaker 1: as you're currently sitting on the Fifth District Court of 217 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 1: Appeals and do you have any concerns about that going forward? 218 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: Judge King? 219 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's a very real thing now at 220 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 2: the appellate level. I don't think it happens is often. 221 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 2: I'm not saying it doesn't, is o ursonal instances of it. 222 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 2: The trial judges, definitely, they're the folks that are taking 223 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 2: people's liberties away. They're the ones sending people to jail 224 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 2: for long periods of time, and you know, unhappy divorces 225 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 2: and all those sorts of things. So they definitely see it. 226 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 2: And I think that there's been a general coursening and 227 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 2: that was sort of played out tragically with Charlie Kirk. 228 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 2: So you know, we've sort of seen this with a 229 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 2: cats on judges and public officials and not criticizing. I mean, 230 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,559 Speaker 2: I think it's fair to criticize them, and I justicied 231 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 2: the Supreme Court for what they did in devote, But 232 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 2: it's that next step, and I think that, Yeah, I 233 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 2: think that that's one of the things that does keep 234 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 2: people away from wanting to do this is because you 235 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 2: do there. I mean, I think you do this long enough, 236 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 2: you've got someone you're worried about, it's going to show 237 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 2: up in your driveway. 238 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: Well. I view it as something like some people sign 239 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: up to serve their country in military, knowing full well 240 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: that they're gonna be in placed in harm's way, and 241 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: yet they do it anyway.
