Uh, but, uh, now I know what I did whenever, whenever, and even when the felony prosecutors would come to me and say, like, "I wanna talk to you about this case. There's this and this." I would always say, "What do you wanna do? I wanna hear your judgment first-" Yes. " before I just tell you what I think." What, how do you feel about that? [23:29-23:52] Oh, no, I think that's, that's a good idea. Yeah. You know, you want, what, what are you coming at me with? And I've- Yeah. I've even asked prosecutors when they're going to go, "Oh, well, I've gotta go talk to my chief." I'm like, "How are you gonna, you know, sell this to your chief before you go?" 'Cause yeah, you do need to know where they're coming from first.

I mean, you gotta just make a decision one way or the other. You gotta make a decision. [24:11-24:33] Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. a So, so we're, we're come, we're, we have about 6 minutes left, and I told you with 5 minutes left, I, I would turn it over and tell you what is it that you haven't had a chance to say that you want the voters of Bexar County to know as they're coming up to this election the first Tuesday in March? Well, I think the voters need to know this is a very important election for Bexar County. [24:33-24:54] And I know a lot of people don't wanna get out and vote in a primary. We have low voter turnout overall in primaries. There are people who don't wanna identify themselves as either Republican or Democrat. And what I would say to you is you need to research the candidates and decide who's the most qualified because Bexar County is in a bad way right now with regards to how the criminal justice system is being handled by this DA's office.
