00:00As far as if these guys are put to death or not, do you have an opinion on that?
00:07That's a tough question. It's a tough one for me to answer, quite honestly, because I don't know what their true intent is.
00:14If I want the opposite of whatever they want, if they're enjoying life in their prison cell, and it's comfortable for them, and they get a lot of face time with their family, and they get certain meals that they like,
00:28then I think that they shouldn't enjoy that, and they should be put to death.
00:32But if they want to be a martyr, and if they want to die in the name of their cause, then we should keep them alive and let them rot in a jail cell.
00:39So I wish I knew more information, because I'd be better positioned to answer that question, but I don't know what their true intentions are.
00:47It certainly seems like they want to live, just based on the fact that they've been trying to negotiate these plea deals.
00:54But I also think that the United States government doesn't want to hear what they have to say.
00:58So I think that's kind of why we're seeing a big push towards having a plea deal happen, which avoids a public trial.
