00:00We are joined today by an incredible woman who I

00:05just met.

00:06I took a picture backstage.

00:08Shannon Owen, the widow of Pope County Deputy Josh

00:12Owen, last year.

00:15Very handsome.

00:16Josh was on his 44th birthday, right on his

00:20birthday.

00:21He was out for a steak dinner with Shannon and

00:25his 10-year-old son when he got a call to — it was

00:29a problem, a domestic disturbance.

00:32A short time later, Shannon got the news that

00:34her husband was shot and killed in the line of

00:37duty.

00:38Shannon, we grieve for your loss, and we know how

00:41great a man he was.

00:42The police officers told me, told everybody else

00:46how great a man he was.

00:47And we are immeasurably grateful for your

00:51sacrifice.

00:52I would love to ask Shannon to come up for a

00:54moment.

00:55Shannon, can you do that?

00:56Can you do that?

00:57Shannon?

00:57Thank you, everybody.

01:17Sorry you couldn't hear me that well earlier.

01:19I hope you can hear me now.

01:21I really appreciate you giving me a chance to

01:24talk about Josh.

01:25There's so many of them out there right now that

01:27need our help, though.

01:29We need to back the blue.

01:30And we need to say what Trump said and overfund

01:39the police.

01:41Thank you, Shannon.

01:47Incredible.

01:56Beautiful family that has to go.

01:58She has to go through that.
