0:05
Speaker 1: Greeting salutations. Welcome my friends to another edition of The
0:07
Speaker 1: Power Hour. This is six ' ten wt V and
0:10
Speaker 1: I'm chucked up with you allegedly know who you are.
0:12
Speaker 1: We take it from there. We get one hour together,
0:14
Speaker 1: which means I talk really fast, you listen even faster.
0:18
Speaker 1: Tonight though a special edition of the Power Hour. Not
0:21
Speaker 1: addition for those of you in public school edition of
0:24
Speaker 1: the Power Hour, because it's debate night is the super
0:27
Speaker 1: Bowl of presidential politics. It is the dismantling, It's what
0:34
Speaker 1: are the other of thems going down tonight? Guys, I'm
0:35
Speaker 1: telling you maybe you'll disagree, and that's why I'm staying
0:38
Speaker 1: on the air till nine o'clock tonight. From seven to night.
0:40
Speaker 1: I'm just talking to you at A two one nine
0:41
Speaker 1: eight eighty six, A two one WTV. And what do
0:43
Speaker 1: you expect? What are you terrified about when it comes
0:47
Speaker 1: to this presidential debate? As I posted on Facebook earlier today,
0:52
Speaker 1: put up a video and I said, this all comes down, honestly, seriously,
0:54
Speaker 1: right to your face. I'm telling you this tonight is
0:58
Speaker 1: all about Donald Trump's control, if he can control himself
1:04
Speaker 1: and not launch into some your fired thing with Kamala Harris,
1:07
Speaker 1: if he can control himself, concentrate on her inadequacy, her ineffectiveness,
1:13
Speaker 1: her flip flopping. Concentrate on the policy issues because she
1:18
Speaker 1: has none. Her policy issues are for sale, highest bidder,
1:23
Speaker 1: highest number of voters possible. She has no conviction. This
1:27
Speaker 1: is the thing about and I've said this so long,
1:29
Speaker 1: Republicans and Democrats, Conservatives, liberals, here's the thing. One side
1:33
Speaker 1: of the fence, if you don't like somebody, you're not
1:37
Speaker 1: gonna like him in twenty years because they are the same.
1:40
Speaker 1: The other side of the fence, you love somebody, you
1:42
Speaker 1: don't know how you feel about him in fifteen minutes,
1:44
Speaker 1: because they change with the wins. Tonight, I believe will
1:49
Speaker 1: show that Donald Trump, if he stays in control, it
1:52
Speaker 1: could be a complete annihilation. We may not even need
1:54
Speaker 1: a November election. Did you hear that domination?
1:57
Speaker 2: Yes, that's what he wants.
1:58
Speaker 1: He wants a dictatorship. No oh, I'm just saying it
2:02
Speaker 1: will be. It'll be just an absolute destruction. In fact,
2:05
Speaker 1: a poll that came out today flies in the face
2:11
Speaker 1: of all of these polls and said it's this neck
2:13
Speaker 1: and neck, and Kamala Harris is just so close, and
2:17
Speaker 1: Trump is behind by three with an error margin of
2:21
Speaker 1: plus or minus fifty points. And I mean seriously, a
2:25
Speaker 1: new poll comes out and shows that Donald Trump is
2:28
Speaker 1: significantly ahead on a national level, and I think tonight
2:32
Speaker 1: will be a big night. So I'll be looking for
2:34
Speaker 1: your call seven to nine. If maybe you're not excited
2:36
Speaker 1: about this, I am. I'm actually giddy. This election is
2:40
Speaker 1: going to be great at a national level. It's going
2:42
Speaker 1: to be great at a local level. It's going to
2:44
Speaker 1: be great at all levels, as long as you make
2:46
Speaker 1: it great, which means participating early voting starting in November.
2:50
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, in October. Election in November. Take advantage of
2:54
Speaker 1: early vote voting, especially if you're considering yourself a Conservative
2:57
Speaker 1: or a Republican. We have been getting beatn with that
3:00
Speaker 1: stick for years. It's time for us to grab the
3:03
Speaker 1: stick and use it ourselves. Early voting, absentee voting, however
3:06
Speaker 1: you have to do it, make sure you vote here
3:08
Speaker 1: in Franklin County, the current prosecutor, I'm assuming he's still there.
3:15
Speaker 2: I don't know.
3:18
Speaker 1: He's stepping aside. So we have two people vying for
3:22
Speaker 1: the office of Franklin County prosecutor. That's the people that
3:24
Speaker 1: put the bad guys in jail. And it's not an
3:29
Speaker 1: easy decision for a lot of people. I understand that,
3:33
Speaker 1: but I think there's you know, if you take emotion
3:36
Speaker 1: away and you look at this on a strictly logical level,
3:39
Speaker 1: that decision gets easier. My guest in studio tonight is
3:43
Speaker 1: the Republican candidate for Franklin County Prosecutor. Yes, I will
3:45
Speaker 1: be inviting the Democrat as well, although I doubt that
3:47
Speaker 1: I'll get an affirmative response. His name is John Ruten,
3:53
Speaker 1: and the elephant in the room right off the bat,
3:55
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you right straight to your face again.
3:57
Speaker 1: He comes to the table with some bag age. He
3:59
Speaker 1: had the endorsement to the county party, then they pulled
4:01
Speaker 1: it because he was young. He had a Billy Bush
4:05
Speaker 1: moment and was running his mouth. And somebody, I think
4:09
Speaker 1: at the Dispatch if are they still a paper anyway,
4:12
Speaker 1: somebody over there published some stuff and said, look how
4:15
Speaker 1: crazy this guy is. You know, crazy is subjective. He
4:19
Speaker 1: has opinions that maybe other people don't agree with. But
4:21
Speaker 1: he said what he said. It is what it is,
4:23
Speaker 1: and it's him or shayea favor. And if it's Shayea favor.
4:27
Speaker 1: Then it's a continuation and an extension of what you've
4:30
Speaker 1: got in Zach Klein and Andy Ginther at City Hall.
4:34
Speaker 1: It is another justice system that is based on taking
4:36
Speaker 1: people's money, seizing people's property, and grand standing for headlines
4:39
Speaker 1: whenever possible. Or it's him, So the choice gets much
4:44
Speaker 1: easier when you look at it that way as far
4:46
Speaker 1: as I'm concerned. Plus he brought gifts, which is a
4:49
Speaker 1: good way to be a guest on the show. John Rutan,
4:51
Speaker 1: thanks for coming in. I appreciate you.
4:53
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, sir, I really appreciate it.
4:55
Speaker 3: And before we get startled like to thank God and
4:57
Speaker 3: thank you for this opportunity and most importantly thing for
5:00
Speaker 3: my parents.
5:01
Speaker 2: They've given me the.
5:02
Speaker 3: Ability to progress this far in life and it means
5:04
Speaker 3: a lot to me. So thank you very much for
5:05
Speaker 3: having me you.
5:07
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm assuming when you first got the news
5:10
Speaker 1: the endorsement was gone, it was kind of a kick
5:11
Speaker 1: in the teeth. Did you spend a couple of days
5:13
Speaker 1: going Okay, what do I do? Do I stay with
5:15
Speaker 1: this or did you just know you were moving ahead?
5:17
Speaker 2: You know what?
5:17
Speaker 3: Honestly, God's good and well part of my campaign and
5:21
Speaker 3: I go to a different church each Sunday, and the
5:24
Speaker 3: message the week my endorsement was taken was Jesus period.
5:28
Speaker 3: And what the message was was too often in life
5:31
Speaker 3: we try to say, well, I know somebody, and I
5:33
Speaker 3: know somebody this person endorses me, or this person endorses me,
5:36
Speaker 3: and what people do is they try to elevate themselves
5:39
Speaker 3: by using somebody else. So in actually oality, I'm not
5:42
Speaker 3: a big fan of endorsements. So what it really taught
5:44
Speaker 3: me is all I need is God on my side,
5:47
Speaker 3: and if I do the right thing, I'm gonna win anyway.
5:48
Speaker 2: So it was a nice reality check.
5:50
Speaker 3: In more importantly, I didn't really lose the endorsement, to
5:53
Speaker 3: be honest as a crooked process before when I got
5:57
Speaker 3: the endorsement, one hundred and thirty three out of one
5:58
Speaker 3: hundred and thirty three people say the hearing, they didn't.
6:01
Speaker 2: Take a vote. Tim Rankin was the leader. It was.
6:04
Speaker 3: It was a sham actually, and Meredith was part of it.
6:07
Speaker 3: They didn't allow.
6:08
Speaker 2: People to take votes. It was.
6:09
Speaker 4: It was.
6:09
Speaker 2: It was bad. So in all, honestly, the Republicans are
6:12
Speaker 2: great people.
6:13
Speaker 3: What happened to me was bad, but it was a
6:15
Speaker 3: nice reality check, and it just showed me more of
6:17
Speaker 3: that God's on my side and the message was true.
6:19
Speaker 3: And I think it's important for everybody to understand. Endorsements
6:23
Speaker 3: are nice to bring awareness, but you should really look
6:25
Speaker 3: at the character of the person. So I'm really grateful
6:28
Speaker 3: to be here because of that.
6:29
Speaker 1: What makes you the candidate the person that should be
6:32
Speaker 1: supported to be prosecuted. What are you going to do
6:34
Speaker 1: differently than what we're seeing in Franklin County right now?
6:36
Speaker 3: There's a lot, But I think when it comes to
6:39
Speaker 3: my candidacy as well as anybody else's, instead of looking
6:42
Speaker 3: at the party, I'd encourage people to look at the head, heart,
6:44
Speaker 3: in hand, and those three things tell me what a
6:46
Speaker 3: good candidate is and what separates the difference between me,
6:49
Speaker 3: I think is my heart. I really care about everybody
6:52
Speaker 3: and and that's the truth. So I'm one of those guys.
6:54
Speaker 3: I believe we all come from the same God. There's
6:57
Speaker 3: only one God, and so that's that's a big driving
6:59
Speaker 3: port of my life. My hand is important. I'm a
7:02
Speaker 3: criminal defense expert. My opponent Shala has never doesn't never
7:06
Speaker 3: even had a criminal case, and that's concerning and scary.
7:09
Speaker 3: So I'm a leader and I know what to do,
7:11
Speaker 3: and then my head's the most important part. If you
7:13
Speaker 3: look at my website, I have a lot of policies
7:15
Speaker 3: and what I call prosecutor pledges to be transparent with people,
7:19
Speaker 3: to know how I'm gonna treat everybody fairly.
7:21
Speaker 2: So if you want to get into how I'm.
7:23
Speaker 3: Gonna do things differently, there's about one hundred Because with Tayak,
7:28
Speaker 3: the main thing I'm gonna do is I'm gonna be active.
7:30
Speaker 3: If I get elected, You're gonna who's running the office.
7:32
Speaker 3: It's gonna be me. I'll be up and down the
7:34
Speaker 3: court room. I'll be doing trials. I'll be open to
7:37
Speaker 3: the public. I'll have once a month. I'll be open
7:40
Speaker 3: to have anybody to come in and talk today. I'll
7:43
Speaker 3: be hosting events. I'll be the most active prosecutor you've
7:45
Speaker 3: ever heard of. Actually, So I'm excited about the opportunity,
7:48
Speaker 3: and there's a lot I can do for everybody.
7:50
Speaker 1: Now, you seem like a really nice guy. This is
7:52
Speaker 1: the first time you and I have met face to face.
7:54
Speaker 1: You seem like a very nice guy. I love hearing
7:57
Speaker 1: that you have a faith that is strong in you.
8:00
Speaker 1: Now I need your evil side.
8:02
Speaker 2: I need you.
8:04
Speaker 1: I need you to be the kind of prosecutor that
8:05
Speaker 1: doesn't care that your daddy didn't love you, you grew
8:07
Speaker 1: up broke, your fingernails are dirty, and your mom didn't
8:10
Speaker 1: have any money. I need criminals to be criminals. Do
8:14
Speaker 1: you see the job that way? Are we ready to
8:16
Speaker 1: go back to actually prosecuting and putting away the bad guys?
8:19
Speaker 3: Well, prosecuting is absolutely important, but the reality of it
8:22
Speaker 3: is is the reason why I'm a good candidate for
8:24
Speaker 3: this position is because of my judgment. And the truth
8:27
Speaker 3: is is in order to correct behavior, you got to
8:29
Speaker 3: punish it, but you not crush it. So what happens
8:31
Speaker 3: is if you crush somebody, you create a new generational criminal.
8:34
Speaker 3: If you punish them, you can fix them. If you
8:36
Speaker 3: do nothing, they repeat. And that's why you see two
8:39
Speaker 3: thousand cars stolen in the last two and a half
8:43
Speaker 3: years and eight hundred by repeat offenders. There's something ridiculous
8:46
Speaker 3: like that because they aren't punishing people. So you can
8:48
Speaker 3: count on me punishing people. And that's why I have standards,
8:51
Speaker 3: because it's important for people to know. And this is
8:54
Speaker 3: where I have a wonderful asset is there's eighty eight
8:58
Speaker 3: counties in Ohio. I've been over fifty of them. I'm
9:00
Speaker 3: a defense attorney currently right now, and I see what
9:03
Speaker 3: works in different counties. You go up to Musquinham County,
9:06
Speaker 3: you cannot find a murderer up there that doesn't have
9:08
Speaker 3: a life sentence. And that's how it should be in
9:10
Speaker 3: Franklin County. And so you need to send messages to
9:12
Speaker 3: people that if this happens in this county, this is
9:15
Speaker 3: what's going to happen with this county prosecutor.
9:18
Speaker 2: And so I hope, if it's.
9:20
Speaker 3: God's will that I get elected, that you invite me
9:21
Speaker 3: on in your show more often, because I'm only as
9:24
Speaker 3: good as the people that help me, and so I
9:25
Speaker 3: think it's important for the public to get into information.
9:28
Speaker 3: So now the juveniles here, well, you know what, if
9:31
Speaker 3: I steal car, I'm actually get locked up for a year.
9:34
Speaker 3: If I if I break into somebody's home, I'm actually
9:36
Speaker 3: not going to get out.
9:37
Speaker 2: For a while.
9:38
Speaker 3: So I think it's important for people to understand that.
9:40
Speaker 3: And so I'm definitely going to punish people in a
9:42
Speaker 3: proper way. But judgment is what matters. And the reason
9:46
Speaker 3: why that's important is because you don't learn what I
9:49
Speaker 3: learned by being a prosecutor. You don't learn it in school,
9:53
Speaker 3: you don't learn it being on committees. You learn it
9:55
Speaker 3: by working with the people for the last thirteen years
9:57
Speaker 3: like I have. So when somebody comes in my office,
10:00
Speaker 3: been ten minutes about what happened, and then the rest.
10:03
Speaker 2: Is Okay, where were you born?
10:04
Speaker 3: Tell me about your family, When did you start using drugs?
10:07
Speaker 3: How do you handle issues? When's the last time you prayed?
10:10
Speaker 3: It's amazing. And here's what's amazing about life. And with
10:14
Speaker 3: all my clients, there's been four common traits in actuality,
10:17
Speaker 3: lack of faith, lack of job, hurt people, hurt others,
10:21
Speaker 3: and it was the third and family issues. And so
10:25
Speaker 3: if you actually focus on that issue could fix a life.
10:27
Speaker 3: And that's why I'm so excited about it, because I
10:30
Speaker 3: take a lot of pride and not having to repeat offenders.
10:33
Speaker 3: And the reason why is because when they hire me,
10:36
Speaker 3: I address the issue. And so that's what I'm going
10:37
Speaker 3: to use a probation department for is to punish people
10:41
Speaker 3: and as well as make them rehab. So if I
10:43
Speaker 3: can force you to go to anger management, alcohol, I
10:46
Speaker 3: can force you to go to church. Because faith to me,
10:48
Speaker 3: is probably the biggest hurdle in everybody's life in my opinion.
10:50
Speaker 1: And you said steal a car, go to jail, which
10:53
Speaker 1: which is actually one of the things that's prominent in
10:55
Speaker 1: my mind, the key of boys story that we've dealt
10:57
Speaker 1: with for the past couple of years. And I'm if
11:00
Speaker 1: you listen to the show, you've heard me talk about
11:01
Speaker 1: kid jail. I am firmly, firmly convinced we need kid jail.
11:06
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about a place for young people to
11:08
Speaker 1: go to learn how to be older criminals when they
11:10
Speaker 1: get out. I'm talking about a rehabilitative, intense place for
11:16
Speaker 1: young people to go so they do not become dirtball
11:18
Speaker 1: older people and inflict more pain on society. Is that
11:23
Speaker 1: even in your vision as a potential prosecutor.
11:26
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and we have it's called a juvenile detention center,
11:28
Speaker 3: so it's not called jail, but juvenile detention center. I
11:31
Speaker 3: really appreciate that question because one of the things I'm
11:34
Speaker 3: gonna do is County prosecutor is no teenager is going
11:37
Speaker 3: to go to prison absent murder, attempted murder, and so
11:40
Speaker 3: what happens, and this is what public doesn't understand and
11:43
Speaker 3: this is why it's so important for a guy like
11:45
Speaker 3: me to be in there instead of Sheila, who doesn't
11:46
Speaker 3: know this stuff. Is you can actually hold a teenager
11:49
Speaker 3: up to the age of twenty one. So if you're
11:51
Speaker 3: sixteen or seventeen, a lot of times they just bind
11:54
Speaker 3: them over because they're blind and ignorant.
11:56
Speaker 2: They don't really care. I care.
11:58
Speaker 3: So what I know what crime teenager actually commit at
12:01
Speaker 3: sixteen or seventeen that justifies going to prison absent murder,
12:05
Speaker 3: attempted murder, or the rape of a child.
12:07
Speaker 2: Right, So that's.
12:08
Speaker 3: Why I'm mindful of that, and that's one reason I
12:12
Speaker 3: spend and that's what's nice about what I do as
12:14
Speaker 3: at defense attorneys. I work with these organizations. I'm aware
12:17
Speaker 3: of their rehabilitative techniques. I think they could do things differently.
12:21
Speaker 3: I think they could do things a little bit better.
12:22
Speaker 3: I almost ran for County sheriff to effectuate that, but
12:25
Speaker 3: I believe County Prosser gives me an ability to help more.
12:28
Speaker 1: People coming into a break care. I gotta take it.
12:30
Speaker 1: Don't get your hopes up about that lack of experience
12:32
Speaker 1: thing on the other side of this this election. I mean,
12:35
Speaker 1: we've already elected a city process. I had never done
12:38
Speaker 1: a day in court. We had two clients running, one
12:40
Speaker 1: of which was an experienced trial attorney, another the other
12:44
Speaker 1: had never done a day in a courtroom. Guess which
12:47
Speaker 1: one Columbus elects. That's the voters here.
12:50
Speaker 3: No, I listen, and it's discouraging, but I'm gonna have
12:53
Speaker 3: faith in the human race, in God, and so hopefully
12:56
Speaker 3: it doesn't happen again.
12:57
Speaker 2: But I'm with you.
12:58
Speaker 3: I mean, that is concerning, and this election should not
12:59
Speaker 3: be close. That's why I got in trouble with the
13:01
Speaker 3: Dispatch because they asked me about my thought of being
13:04
Speaker 3: a losing elections are losing? How am I gonna lose
13:07
Speaker 3: this election unless you take it? And that's kind of
13:09
Speaker 3: the trickle effect of what happened.
13:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, yeah, you say, you say something sometime that
13:14
Speaker 1: makes too much sense, and yeah, that gets a more
13:16
Speaker 1: harsh reaction than things that don't. A two one nine
13:18
Speaker 1: eight eight six is the number eight two one WTV.
13:20

Speaker 1: There are two people running. One of them is in
13:42

13:47

13:49
Speaker 1: name is John Rutan and it's Sorge. You're on the
13:52
Speaker 1: Legacy Retirement Group dot com phone line.
13:53
Speaker 5: Hi, Hey guys, John, I got a question for you.
13:56
Speaker 5: Do you think you can get punishment back into the crime?
14:01
Speaker 5: I mean, it's like when we were growing up. You know,
14:03
Speaker 5: if we did something like steel car, we were going
14:06
Speaker 5: to get a belt. You know, we were going to
14:08
Speaker 5: get our butt beat. And I have an adolescent relative
14:13
Speaker 5: who was incarcerated for a short period of time, and
14:18
Speaker 5: if I understood him correctly, they had access to like
14:21
Speaker 5: a PlayStation or an xbox, and there were kids in
14:24
Speaker 5: there with him that were like, well, you know, if
14:27
Speaker 5: things are going bad out and down the world, I'll
14:29
Speaker 5: just do something and get put back in here so
14:32
Speaker 5: I can play Xbox. And you know, the whole Springfield
14:36
Speaker 5: issue brings up something else entirely with those immigrants. We
14:41
Speaker 5: start having a situation like that in Franklin County. The
14:45
Speaker 5: residents are just going to start leaving the Franklin County.
14:49
Speaker 5: They're going to removing to other states. You know, how
14:51
Speaker 5: do we keep that from happening? You know, it's like
14:53
Speaker 5: put the punishment back into the crime.
14:56
Speaker 2: Do you agree with Thatgeant?
14:58
Speaker 3: Thank you very much for the question, And to be honest,
15:01
Speaker 3: that's one of the reasons why I'm running. I've been
15:03
Speaker 3: at Defense Turning for thirteen years. In the past four years,
15:06
Speaker 3: I've seen things fall down. I mean, crime is rising,
15:10
Speaker 3: juveniles are going to prison at shouldn't people are repeating
15:13
Speaker 3: left and right, and so what happens is when you
15:16
Speaker 3: realize is you can either complain or you could do
15:18
Speaker 3: something about it. So I decided to run to do
15:20
Speaker 3: something about it because I do believe in measurable justice.
15:24
Speaker 3: And if you ever looked at my website, there's two
15:26
Speaker 3: things I live by it's compassion and measurable justice. And
15:30
Speaker 3: what's nice about me is I have actually had life
15:33
Speaker 3: experiences that helped me through this. And I was actually
15:35
Speaker 3: just talking to mister Douglas about this during commercial break,
15:38
Speaker 3: But I actually went to jail when I was twenty
15:41
Speaker 3: one years old for punching a guy for saying some
15:44
Speaker 3: stuff to my sister. And I got six months in
15:47
Speaker 3: jail and I got out.
15:48
Speaker 2: After eight days.
15:49
Speaker 3: And what that taught me was this, if you go
15:52
Speaker 3: to jail for a little bit, it wakes you up.
15:54
Speaker 3: If you don't go to jail at all, you think
15:56
Speaker 3: it's okay to punch somebody. If I would have did
15:58
Speaker 3: six months, I would have got out and been an
16:01
Speaker 3: angry person and it would have really affected me. So
16:04
Speaker 3: that's what I'm trying to bring to the office is
16:05
Speaker 3: I want to punish people, but I don't want to
16:07
Speaker 3: crush people. So you can count your bottom dollar that
16:10
Speaker 3: people are going to be punished. And that's why I
16:12
Speaker 3: need people like mister Douglas and anybody else to spread
16:15
Speaker 3: the word as to what I'm doing, because there's no
16:18
Speaker 3: question in my mind that you would not have four
16:21
Speaker 3: hundred repeat offenders stealing cars if I would have been
16:24
Speaker 3: in an office.
16:25
Speaker 2: Because every kid would get a year.
16:27
Speaker 3: In jail, because you got to understand, I may have
16:29
Speaker 3: stole a candy bar, but not a car. And what
16:31
Speaker 3: people don't understand, a car is a big deal because
16:34
Speaker 3: it's a deadly weapon. And these kids don't know how
16:37
Speaker 3: to drive, they don't have insurance, and they are fearful,
16:39
Speaker 3: so they try to flee from the police they crash.
16:42
Speaker 3: So I'm with you, sir, and I really hope you
16:44
Speaker 3: support me and pass my name around because I'm definitely
16:47
Speaker 3: the guy to punish people. But again, I'm going to
16:50
Speaker 3: punish people, not crush them. And that's what I have
16:52
Speaker 3: to offer, and I hope you consider me and thank
16:54
Speaker 3: you for the question, sir.
16:55
Speaker 1: Speaking of damage inflicted on society people who don't know
16:57
Speaker 1: how to drive and not having licenses, and in durant,
17:00
Speaker 1: let's get to something else that nobody wants to talk about.
17:03
Speaker 1: The illegal population. Yeah, I see that that is It's
17:06
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, it's stupid. I've actually had two
17:09
Speaker 1: instances in my life where family members were hit and
17:12
Speaker 1: you know, the people who hit them were kind enough
17:15
Speaker 1: to get out and make sure they weren't dead, but
17:17
Speaker 1: then they got in their vehicles and took off, which
17:19
Speaker 1: tells me, Okay, you're not supposed to be here. You
17:21
Speaker 1: have no license or insurance that you know. I had
17:25
Speaker 1: a woman that actually had a parking lot just about
17:28
Speaker 1: a year ago that hit the front of my car
17:31
Speaker 1: and she got out and she's telling me how it's
17:33
Speaker 1: my fault as best she could, wanted all my information,
17:36
Speaker 1: refuse to give any of hers. My insurance company said, yeah,
17:40
Speaker 1: they called, we laughed. There was no claim made. So
17:44
Speaker 1: this is a major problem all over America, but here
17:47
Speaker 1: in central Ohio from several different angles that's coming at us.
17:50
Speaker 1: Is there something within the law that can be done
17:53
Speaker 1: and will be done if you become a prosecutor?
17:55
Speaker 2: One hundred percent?
17:55
Speaker 3: In fact, quite frankly, I'll punish them a little bit
17:57
Speaker 3: harder than a normal person. And the reason why is
18:00
Speaker 3: because you're illegals and they come to Ohio for a reason.
18:03
Speaker 2: Again, this is what this is.
18:05
Speaker 3: The insight that I have that no other can possesses
18:08
Speaker 3: is as a defense attorney. I've been new this for
18:10
Speaker 3: thirteen years, and I have had more illegals in the
18:13
Speaker 3: past two years of my career than I have had
18:15
Speaker 3: the prior eleven.
18:16
Speaker 2: Isn't that amazing?
18:17
Speaker 3: Think about that, in the last two years, the amount
18:20
Speaker 3: of foreigners I've represented has increase. In their defense, they
18:23
Speaker 3: commit a lot of white collar crimes and they steal,
18:26
Speaker 3: and so what they've learned is, hey, if you come
18:28
Speaker 3: to Ohio or you come to Franklin County and you steal,
18:31
Speaker 3: you get nothing or probation or so you've got to
18:34
Speaker 3: have measurable justice. And that's what you got to do,
18:36
Speaker 3: is when you send a message to immigrants, because what
18:39
Speaker 3: happens is this somebody will commit a crime and they
18:41
Speaker 3: know they get slapped on the wrist, and then they
18:43
Speaker 3: tell all their friends back in whatever country they come from, Hey,
18:46
Speaker 3: Ohio's a safe place to come. We can rob them,
18:48
Speaker 3: and if we do, it's not a big deal.
18:52
Speaker 1: Go back what fifty years when the drunk was telling
18:54
Speaker 1: the other drug if you're going to get locked up,
18:56
Speaker 1: get locked up in Mayberry. Yeah, and the same thing.
18:59
Speaker 2: I'm with you, my friend.
19:00
Speaker 3: And quite frankly, that's what I love about my That's
19:03
Speaker 3: why God's real, because He's molded me perfectly for this job.
19:06
Speaker 3: Because in thirteen years I go to there's eighty eight counties.
19:09
Speaker 3: I've been to fifty of them. Every county. I don't
19:11
Speaker 3: just walk around my head down and I'm absorbing.
19:13
Speaker 2: I'm learning.
19:14
Speaker 3: I'm always my whole goal is to learn about life
19:17
Speaker 3: and how how to fix things. So in different counties,
19:19
Speaker 3: I see different strokes for different folks. I also see
19:22
Speaker 3: the kangaroo courts. And so what I'm gonna do is
19:24
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take the good that I've learned, and I'm
19:26
Speaker 3: gonna bring to Franklin County. In a bad I'm gonna
19:28
Speaker 3: leave out and so and I'm awly as good as
19:30
Speaker 3: the other people around. And for all my prosecutor friends
19:33
Speaker 3: listening out there, there's four questions.
19:35
Speaker 2: I'm gonna ask him, what do you like?
19:38
Speaker 3: What don't you like? How can I make this job
19:40
Speaker 3: a better place for you? And where do you see
19:42
Speaker 3: yourself in four years? Because if you have good energy
19:44
Speaker 3: and you have good people, it helps pass judgments. So
19:47
Speaker 3: what I want prosecutors to know is that it's not
19:50
Speaker 3: about the deal, it's about correcting the behavior. And I'm
19:53
Speaker 3: a big I'm a big believer in life review. When
19:55
Speaker 3: you die, you get to see the trickle effect of
19:57
Speaker 3: all the good you do. And so every person you
19:59
Speaker 3: change is a blessing to be frank because of all
20:02
Speaker 3: the good they can do.
20:03
Speaker 1: That's if you go to heaven. If you go to hell,
20:05
Speaker 1: I'm going to see everything I ever ate. Let me
20:08
Speaker 1: try to plow through some calls here before we have
20:10
Speaker 1: to say goodbye. Charlie's been on hold the lo against Charlie.
20:12
Speaker 1: You're on six ten LEA ETVN.
20:14
Speaker 6: Yes, sir, gentlemen, I have a question about a case
20:17
Speaker 6: it's got me infuriated. That's been in the news not
20:20
Speaker 6: very much, but you may recall about Kobe Stillwell, the
20:24
Speaker 6: guy that's going one hundred and some miles an hour
20:27
Speaker 6: on more shield and killed three people. He had a
20:30
Speaker 6: two day trial, okay, and come away. I was not
20:35
Speaker 6: guilty on all charges. He had a weapon in the
20:39
Speaker 6: car and all kinds of stuff. How does this.
20:42
Speaker 2: Happen, Charlie.
20:44
Speaker 1: I'm going to assume that you are insinuating there is
20:46
Speaker 1: some sort of beholden to a higher educational power in town.
20:52
Speaker 2: Well.
20:53
Speaker 6: I don't know, but Kobe Stillwell's dad was an NFL
20:56
Speaker 6: football player. He killed three people and he got off
21:00
Speaker 6: because he said, well, you had some kind of seizures.
21:04
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know a lot about the defense trilie.
21:06
Speaker 3: But I'll tell you what I have to offer to
21:08
Speaker 3: help in situations like that is I'm an actual trial attorney.
21:12
Speaker 3: I've lost one channel last five years. So what does
21:14
Speaker 3: that mean is this. It means that every time a
21:16
Speaker 3: prosecutor is going to go to trial, they're going to
21:18
Speaker 3: have my knowledge and information assistan with cases. And so
21:22
Speaker 3: as a defense attorney, I know what lawyers look for
21:25
Speaker 3: to try to poke holes in cases, and so what
21:28
Speaker 3: my job is is to educate the staff to take
21:31
Speaker 3: the air out of their sale. So there's not a
21:33
Speaker 3: lot of who in law, and so a lot of
21:35
Speaker 3: times what happens is prosecutors treat it like a game
21:38
Speaker 3: instead of hey, let me just present the evidence, and
21:40
Speaker 3: then they lose the jury by not being honest. The
21:44
Speaker 3: best example I can give you is you get a
21:46
Speaker 3: murder case and the guy shot one time, but they
21:49
Speaker 3: spend three hours on autopsy photos. And the truth is
21:52
Speaker 3: they do that for passion and prejudice. But what happens
21:56
Speaker 3: is the educated people don't like it and they offend
21:58
Speaker 3: them and that's how they lose. So I don't know
22:01
Speaker 3: the facts of the case as to.
22:02
Speaker 2: Why they lost.
22:03
Speaker 1: I think ultimately they said it was an epileptic seizure
22:05
Speaker 1: and there was a not guilty verdict. It just I
22:09
Speaker 1: don't know. I can't have an opinion, but I have
22:11
Speaker 1: to wonder it took so long to get this to
22:14
Speaker 1: trial and get that verdict. Why it seems like an
22:17
Speaker 1: epileptic seizure would have been an automatic defense and this
22:20
Speaker 1: probably would have been over with much quicker.
22:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, common sense tells me you said one hundred miles
22:25
Speaker 3: per hour. So what seizure do you have where your
22:28
Speaker 3: foot goes pedal to the metal. I don't know, so
22:31
Speaker 3: I would love to know more about it, but unfortunately
22:33
Speaker 3: double jeopardy does apply and they can't retry it. But
22:36
Speaker 3: I think that's where, if it's true, that's where an
22:39
Speaker 3: inadequate prosecutor.
22:40
Speaker 2: Comes from, because I don't have to read the report.
22:43
Speaker 3: And if you have a seizure, your body goes limp,
22:46
Speaker 3: how do you do?
22:47
Speaker 2: How does your car even get to one hundred miles
22:48
Speaker 2: an hour?
22:49
Speaker 3: So I don't agree with that at all, And that's
22:51
Speaker 3: probably where if I would have been in there, you
22:53
Speaker 3: had had a different result. And Charlie got bless you
22:55
Speaker 3: and thank you so much for a question I really appreciate.
22:57
Speaker 3: And and by the way, for everybody that's listening. If
23:01
Speaker 3: we don't get to your question, my cell phone's on
23:03
Speaker 3: my on my website, you get text or call me
23:06
Speaker 3: any time. I wish I could speak to every voter
23:07
Speaker 3: to be frank.
23:08
Speaker 1: I want to try to get zag. Do I have
23:10
Speaker 1: time to get at least one more in here? We've
23:12
Speaker 1: got a different clock to work with tonight because we're
23:13
Speaker 1: going extending from seven to nine. Do I have time
23:16
Speaker 1: for Okay, let's get John and John you're on sixth
23:19
Speaker 1: NATV in Hey.
23:21
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was the illegals. I was in a motorcycle
23:25
Speaker 4: accident a few quite a few years ago, and the
23:30
Speaker 4: people literally got one ticket for uh uh not turning,
23:38
Speaker 4: you know, turning in front of me. And I literally
23:41
Speaker 4: lost my house. I literally my life got upside down.
23:46
Speaker 4: I've got over a half a million of medical bills
23:49
Speaker 4: and she had no insurance, no driver's license, lost my job,
23:54
Speaker 4: my house got into boord you know, blah blah blah.
23:56
Speaker 4: But yeah, all because of some smulian that did not
24:00
Speaker 4: know how to drive. And you know, it's like, it's
24:03
Speaker 4: how unfair is that? And they got one ticket and
24:07
Speaker 4: that was it.
24:08
Speaker 1: John, I'm sorry he does the Ohio Victims of crime
24:10
Speaker 1: fun come in to play with anything like that that
24:12
Speaker 1: might help him out? Or is he just stuck?
24:14
Speaker 3: Potentially, I mean his insurance may have something to do
24:17
Speaker 3: with it, but I think like to help you, John
24:19
Speaker 3: number one, I appreciate the question. You have a great name.
24:22
Speaker 3: It is a wonderful name. But to answer your question,
24:26
Speaker 3: the reason why you need a prosecutor like me and
24:28
Speaker 3: there is because I love listening to victims and defendants
24:32
Speaker 3: and police and everybody. So in a situation like yours,
24:35
Speaker 3: what happens a lot of times is a kind of
24:37
Speaker 3: prosecutor hides you haven't seen Kayak in four years, and
24:40
Speaker 3: so what they do is the victims talk to the
24:42
Speaker 3: prosecutors and they don't feel like they're getting justice because
24:44
Speaker 3: they can't talk to the main guy, which is myself.
24:47
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna be open to everybody. So if I
24:49
Speaker 3: get elected for all the victims out there, if you
24:52
Speaker 3: don't like the way your case is being treated, then
24:54
Speaker 3: please look me up and find me because I take
24:57
Speaker 3: a lot of pride in being open to the public.
25:00
Speaker 3: By two commandments, love God with all your mind, body,
25:02
Speaker 3: and so, and love your neighbor like you love yourself.
25:04
Speaker 2: And I say that because.
25:05
Speaker 3: I want I want people to be treated the way
25:08
Speaker 3: I want to be treated. And that's why I answer
25:09
Speaker 3: all questions, even though I don't want to talk about
25:11
Speaker 3: the Republican Party today.
25:12
Speaker 1: That's okay.
25:13
Speaker 2: I'll answer everything because it's only fair.
25:15
Speaker 1: Before you get out of here, his name is John Rutan.
25:17
Speaker 1: Are you t A N? What's the website for people
25:19
Speaker 1: that want to know more about your contacts? You ask
25:21
Speaker 1: you questions or make donations?
25:22
Speaker 2: It's no donations. I'm not fundraising.
25:24
Speaker 1: You gotta get donations to run for all I know.
25:27
Speaker 1: That's part of the machine. No, no, and then give
25:30
Speaker 1: the man five bucks. No, this is a position, ex
25:33
Speaker 1: give me five bucks.
25:34
Speaker 2: Hey, here's the thing.
25:35
Speaker 3: The best compliment you can do for me is pass
25:37
Speaker 3: my name around, because the word of mouth is the
25:39
Speaker 3: best recommendation can give somebody. But it's routannfour prosecuter dot com.
25:43
Speaker 3: It's r U t A N the number four prosecutor
25:46
