You've got in Seattle where, you know, ISIS more under attack than the delinquents.

That's not me.

That's not me.

I want to serve our public.

And by the way, and I want to use and I want to use these connections.

I want to talk to the state about doing away with the death tax.

If you want, I can go through these if you like.
