Joining us now is one of the most important Senate races in the country, and he is fighting, like you wouldn't believe, up against massive amounts of money.
And I believe he is going to win Herschel Walker.
Herschel, welcome back to the program.
Hello there.
How are you doing?
Doing great, Herschel.
How do things feel on the ground?
How do you believe your race is going?
Walk us through it.
The race is going well.
We're having a lot of momentum right now.
We're going around the state of Georgia, meeting with all the voters and letting them know the difference between Senator Warnock and myself.
And I think they saw it during the debate.
You know, he was supposed to wipe the floor with me, but he realized that he met in Rome, Georgia, that I'm for the people of Georgia.
He seemed to be the center for President Byte.
And I think he had a rude awakening.
So now the people now are starting to listen to my message that this is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Yeah, in more ways than one.
And so I want to ask you about one of his votes.
He voted for 87,000 new IRS agents, and you've been talking about that a lot.
Explain to me what you're hearing from the voters in Georgia about inflation, about crime, and Warnock just seems to be ignoring all those issues.
Well, he's ignoring them because he doesn't have a solution for them.
But yet, the reason he voted with Joe Byte, because I say either have no clue what he's doing or he's just having them to tell him what to do, to have 87 ARS agents, they're going to go after you.
They're not going after the we're rich, like they say.
They're going after people of less than $200,000.
So that's who they're going to go after.
And I think they continue to lie to the people, which I want the people to know that the people on the left and center aren't doing nothing but lying to you.
And you see after two years, just what they're doing.
You know, he voted against having 18,000 border agents.
You know, he doesn't tell people about that, you know, to vote against 18,000 border agents, but have 87,000 RS agents.
People know something is wrong when that happens.
Yeah, that's well said.
I want to play a piece of tape here of Barack Obama going after you.
At least he admits you were a good running back, though.
Play cut 58.
One of the best running backs of all time.
Does that make him the best person to represent you in the U.S. Senate?
Does that make him equipped to weigh in on the critical decisions about our economy and our foreign policy and our future?
Herschel, he's going right after your response.
Well, my response is he forget that I built my own company and it one of the largest minority-owned food service companies in the United States of America.
And he called me a celebrity and all he hangs out with is celebrities.
So I'm not a celebrity because he never hung out with me.
And when you're talking about what makes him equipped, well, it doesn't seem that he was equipped to do too much because not too much happened when he was in office.
And right now, not too much is happening with Senator Warnott in office because that's the reason we have this terrible inflation.
We have an open border.
A lot of the crime has skyrocketed.
So they're not doing the right thing.
And what makes me equipped because I know how to vote.
And I think people saw that during the debate.
I knew what I was talking about.
He seemed to not understand what they were asking him.
And he got a little bit confused because he decided not to answer any questions.
And I think people saw that there was a difference between he and I.
Yeah, I mean, and that is, that's right.
And I think the voters are starting to resonate with that.
Let's play Cut 59 when Obama speaks on violent crime, play cut 59.
If you're watching TV, you've heard a lot about crime.
Violent crime has gone up over the last seven years, not just the last two, not just in liberal states, but in conservative rural states, too.
That's a serious problem.
Who will fight to keep you and your family safe?
The Republican politicians who want to flood our streets with more guns?
Now, he doesn't mention that the BLM movement that he helped actually inspire post-2014 in Ferguson was one of the main reasons violent crime skyrocketed.
Barack Obama was president, actually, during that entire regime, you could say, back in 2015, he said seven years ago, almost to a day of Michael Brown and the lies and the reaction of Ferguson and the Ferguson effect.
So Herschel, violent crime is skyrocketing in Georgia.
And Raphael Warnock has no response whatsoever.
What's your response?
Well, his response is he has no respect for all the law enforcement.
Right now, he's calling them names and calling them bullies and thugs.
He has no respect for all law enforcement.
So if you know his leader have no respect, his citizen is going to have no respect either.
Well, I support all men and women in blue.
That's the reason I got 114 sheriffs that has endorsed me.
I have more sheriffs that has endorsed me than anyone running in Georgia because they know I will always have that back.
But when you have someone like Senator Warney and like the president, ex-president, who's out here talking, like, they don't want to give anyone the facts.
The facts are, you know, Obama did absolutely nothing for anyone while he was in office.
He walked cool, smoked, spoke very well, the same thing as Raphael Oneot is doing.
And I told everyone, you got to watch out for those smooth, walking, slick-talking people because they're not going to do anything.
After two years, you see where we're at right now.
We're at skyrocketing the crime.
The border wide open.
His economy is messed up.
And it's because it's Raphael One, who doesn't seem to know what he's doing by Joe voting with Joe Biden.
He votes with Joe Biden every single time, and he votes for the most radical ideas imaginable.
It's extraordinary.
And they have to try to deploy Barack Obama, and you're up in the latest polls.
It's really, really exciting.
I want to play this one here.
Let's go to this one.
Obama talking about a thought experiment, play cut 60.
Let's say you're at the airport and you see Mr. Walker, and you say, hey, there's Herschel Walker, Heisman winner.
Let's have him fly the plane.
You probably wouldn't say that.
You'd want to know, does he know how to fly an airplane?
So Barack Obama trying to say that you're not qualified for the job.
Really interesting as they try to deploy him here.
I don't think it's working at all.
How do you reply to that?
Well, it's not working, first of all, because I wouldn't get him to fly the plane either.
Let's say we're going to airport and I see Barack Obama and I said, whoa, let's let him fly.
No, I wouldn't let him fly the plane either.
But I can promise you, if they see me and Barack Obama standing there, they probably pick me to fly the plane.
And I told everyone if he had to pick a debate team, I bet he'll pick me over Senator Warnock because, you know, I cannot bait Senator Warnot.
So, you know, he told us a lot of stuff.
He came to Georgia, but the Georgian people know that what he stands for.
He doesn't stand for Georgia either.
He lost in Georgia when he ran for president.
He didn't win Georgia.
And also, he told us to pick Joe Biden.
He lost to that as well.
So Joe Biden hasn't done a good job since he's been off.
So he lost twice.
So I think he ought to set this one out and let Senator Wynot speak for himself because he doesn't seem to be doing a good job at that.
Right now, I think Senator Why Not?
Has seen that he this is tough job that he uh signed up for, and the best person for that seat is Herschel Walker, and I think he knows that.
Yeah, and I mean, you really got him on the ropes.
And so Herschel, how can people support your campaign in this last critical juncture?
And then, what's the call to action for all of our grassroots friends in Georgia?
How can people get behind your campaign?
Well, people can go to Teamherschel.com if they want to volunteer that time, do door knocking, uh telephone, or they want to contribute to the campaign because we're going to win this uh, right now.
I think they're nervous as anything right now because they didn't realize that when I told them I was going to win, I I meant that I came here to win.
I came here to represent the Georgia people and he thought it got to be an easy cakewalk.
Right now, you see everything.
They're throwing everything and the kitchen sink after me and the races virtually title.
I'm in the lead, which meant that they don't know how to spend their own money, but yet they want to spend your money.
So what I want the people to do is just get out and pray for me.
Uh, call all your friends that live in Georgia, tell them to vote for me that i'm the right one for this Senate seat for the great people of Georgia.
The character assassination they attempted towards you is failing, and that really is strong.
It's important.
I want to play a cut here.
I want you to respond.
It's cut 78 of you talking with Raphael Warnock, one of the best lines in a debate I have seen in quite some time.
Play cut 78.
He told me black lives matter and if you think about it senator, in Atlanta Georgia, there's more black babies that is aborted than uh, than anything.
So if black lives matter, why are you not protecting those babies?
And instead of aborting those babies, why are you not baptizing those babies?
Hersh, I love it.
You put the rev on notice that.
What kind of pastor does that expand on that?
Well, one of the things that I realized by senator One is he's, uh and I hate to say this a one-trick pony, and what I mean by that is he already had answers that he was going to play and he was going to use, and when he get in trouble, he throws bible verses at me, at you, and then he uh would talk about the church at Dr Martin Luther King and I was not going to let him get away with that and for him to be a reverend and as as extreme as he is,
because people didn't know that you know he talked about abortion all the way up to nine months and also, if baby survived an abortion, he didn't vote to deny that baby medical care.
That's very extreme For a pastor.
That's supposedly a man of the cloth, and so he kind of thought he could use Bible verse or use old things at me.
And he don't realize I was brought up in the church, and I was not going to let him get away with it.
And that's one reason I think that the Lord put me here to run against him because I had to run not just against a senator, but I had to run against a guy that I think is a false prophet.
I say that I think he's a Marxist for what he stands for and what he says.
I think he's a total Marxist, and I'm not ashamed to say that.
Good for you.
That's exactly right.
He is a false prophet, and he is a Marxist.
That's well said.
And he has not been representing the needs, wants, or interests of what Georgia really needs in Washington, D.C.
So, let me expand to our audience, Raphael Warnock evicting people from their homes.
This is an extraordinary story, and the media has ignored it.
Tell us about it.
Well, the media ignored it, and you know, we found out about it the day of the debate.
And I was just totally shocked that the moderators talked to him about it.
And I think he was shocked, and he started blaming my people first.
And, like, you know, we just heard about it as well.
And you can tell right there that he's a false prophet.
You can tell that he's a liar because he tried to pretend that we did it.
Then he tried to throw Dr. King's name in it.
He threw Congressman Lewis' name in it, but it was totally his fault.
And what he was doing, he was evicting people from an apartment building that his church owned.
You know, he was evicting people from it for $38, for $28.
He was evicting people from an apartment.
And he said, Oh, are we having an eviction?
And he was correct.
He had not evicted anyone, but he sent them eviction notice.
So he were going to evict them, and they were in courts fighting it.
And at the same time, he was a slum lower.
You know, the place is totally terrible.
You know, there are trash everywhere.
The elevator didn't work.
And he wanted to get out of it.
And so he's the hypocrite as well.
And I'm going to call him out on him.
Yo, if you're going to be a reverend, don't continue to throw Matthew 25 at me talking about, you know, when I was hungry, you fed me.
When I had no clothes, you clothed me.
But then when people needed your help by having a place to live, you evicted them.
So don't try to do that with me because I know for a fight, I told you I'll give you that wolf in sheep clothing.
I told you you're a false prophet.
And I think the people saw through that when he couldn't answer that question there and he started blaming everyone else.
I love it.
Herschel, one minute remaining, closing argument to the voters of Georgia.
They got to show up, bring their friends to vote.
We need a massive election day turnout.
The floor is yours.
Yes.
And I want to just tell everyone out there who's hesitant about voting for a non-politician like myself.
Think about a politician like Joe Biden and Raphael Warnot, what they've done in two short years, what they've done to this country, what they've done to this state.
So I just encourage you to go out and vote for me because we can't take six more years of people like Raphael Warnot in office doing the things he's doing, not taking responsibility.
That I will promise you that I will fight for lower taxes.
I fight to close this border down.
I fight to have safe streets because I believe in the people of America.
I know we're good people.
We're not racist people like Senator Warnott said we are.
We're not raising people like Joe Biden.
Treat that we are.
We're good people.
We can get this done together.
Amen.
That is such an important message.
We live in a beautiful country.
We must restore it.
Herschel, we're behind you.
Run to the finish line, which is something you're not unfamiliar with.
So you just, and by the way, that Georgia, Tennessee game this weekend, I think you're going to have a good omen.
I think you guys are going to win.
I hope you're there.
And I think it's going to be a good little surge heading into election day.
God bless you, Herschel.
Keep fighting.
Hey, thank you.
Thank you so much.
Tell everyone to go to teamherschel.com.
I hate you.
No, that's a voter here.
TeamHershel.com.
I'll reiterate it.
TeamHerschel.com.
All right.
Thank you, Herschel Walker.

Check it out today.
We are six days out, everybody.
We got to do something.
You got to get somebody else out to the polls that otherwise would not be going to the polls.
Who is your one person today that you're bringing to the polls?
One person.
They say Republicans are a threat to democracy.
By the way, I'm on the record saying that democracy is a bad idea.
If you define it in classical terms, people say, oh, what do you not like elections?
Of course, I love elections.
I believe in the consent of the governed in a constitutional republic.
But democracy, in its purest sense, is unsustainable.
And when some people hear that, they say, what do you mean?
You don't like our system of government?
We're not a democracy.
We never should be.
That's a separate issue that we're going to cover later in the week because it really set some people off.
However, they call us a threat to democracy.
We're actually the ones that are using the democratic system.
We want more people to go vote.
We want the biggest election day turnout ever.
In fact, at Turning Point Action, we're going to be doing mass get-out-the-vote operations on election day.
It's going to be very exciting.
In fact, we have some donors stepping up to help just getting people out to the polls, just massive amounts of public awareness, billboards, knocking on doors.
We want to try to increase that same-day election turnout, and you should help us with that.
Okay, joining us now is Darren Beattie from the wonderful website Revolver.news.
I go there almost every single day, and I love revolver.news.
Darren, welcome back to the program.
Fantastic to be back.
Thank you.
Darren, you have, I think, incredible clarity on the issue of Elon Musk with Twitter.
Walk us through your perspective on this.
You call it the greatest show on earth.
The purchase is complete.
And give us your take.
The floor is yours.
Well, look, it's a remarkable development, and I have to give him credit.
He's undertaking an extremely dangerous, extremely high-stakes endeavor for a cause of civilizational importance.
And, you know, the question remains.
I say he's got one fate, one destiny, which is to remain sort of glorified IT support for our corrupt regime.
There's another path, and he's stepping toward that path where he's a hero.
And he's a hero for restoring free speech to the global public square.
So, how this story ends, we don't know.
Nobody knows.
It's yet to be written.
But it's truly one of the very few things that's actually consequential in a genuine sense, because if we don't have open discussion on the global public square, we just can't progress in any fashion.
And it enables the elites in their corruption in the same way as maybe, you know, a drug dealer enables an addict.
And in fact, the more censorship there is, the lower quality lies we're given by a regime, which is insulting on top of the injury.
And so, at the very least, I say, if we have open discussion, if we're allowed to finally criticize the regime on matters of existential importance, healthcare, election integrity, these crucial issues to how a society functions and works, and crucially, implement accountability to the elites for their mistakes and their mismanagement.
It forces the elites to be better as well.
I totally agree.
So, just something, Darren, I want you to speak to this because some of our audience, they say Twitter doesn't matter.
It's irrelevant.
I'm on Getter.
I'm on truth.
Can you just walk through how Twitter actually does matter?
It is the incubator of elite thought in America.
We might not like that, but it's true.
Right.
And look, it's not to the exclusion of Gitter or any of these alternatives.
They're not mutually exclusive, but they're fundamentally different products.
You use Getter to resonate with your people, with your tribe, and with kind of the benefit of that mutual implicit understanding.
And that's a very valuable thing.
But Twitter is something entirely different and frankly unique.
A lot of people have tried to replicate these unique network effects that exist on Twitter, and nobody's been successful because it's the only place really that the phrase global public square captures it perfectly.
It is the place where all the journalists are.
It's a place where all the major cultural influencers, business titans.
It's increasingly a theater for hybrid warfare and public diplomacy between state actors and their proxies.
It is the arena as far as the info war, to use a term.
This is the arena.
And this is why intelligence agencies and their proxies of all stripes have been extremely jealous in terms of guarding their control over information flow on this global public square.
And yes, foreign agencies do it, but Newsflash, hate to say it, our people do it too.
The DHS leaks the other day, Darren.
Exactly.
I mean, the Department of Homeland Security has back-end access to Facebook.
I mean, can you make it more flagrant?
They have a login to Facebook's company.
I mean, they call us fascist.
How is that not something in the garden variety of the blending of fascism, of private interests, and government power?
So, Darren, so then I want to talk to it.
I want you to speak to a second thing, which is the cynics in our audience.
Some of the cynics agree with the premise, but they think Elon is not going to be able to get it done.
He'll be investigated by the government.
They're going to quote unquote take him out.
He's going to bend a knee and really Twitter won't change that much.
What do you think?
What do you think about that?
First of all, I don't think that's cynical at all.
To a certain extent, that's accurate, but it's almost the opposite of cynical.
It's optimistic because the very anticipation of a real pushback by the regime presupposes that what he's doing is actually meaningful.
So I would rather have somebody stepping in the arena for something that actually matters rather than the standard smoke and mirrors, fake and performative bull that we constantly get.
Unfortunately, a lot of it we get from the GOP side.
So I'd rather have something real, something that's dangerous and high stakes that will actually matter with all of the risks that come with it than the opposite.
And so I actually think it's encouraging.
It's the optimistic side to think that Elon is actually going to get attacked rather than it's all fake.
And as to what his chances of success are, what his strategy should be, that's all a very interesting discussion.
He does have some leverage.
He doesn't have infinite leverage.
He has leverage too.
And he really needs to think strategically about Starlink and you mean SpaceX?
You mean that basically a portion of our United States defense apparatus is reliant on a company he built, which is legitimate, by the way.
Right.
I think that's a big part of it.
And sort of that's how interesting this dynamic is.
Because when I say glorified IT support, I'm not just sort of being derisive.
That's what big tech is at the highest level.
It's IT support for the regime.
Someone like Elon Musk very, very deftly and very cleverly managed a friendly relationship with the government such that they were willing effectively to outsource NASA to him.
They're willing to massively subsidize Tesla and these other things.
And now he has Starlink.
And that gives him some leverage.
Again, he doesn't need to overestimate it.
The other side probably has more leverage at the end of the day, but it's very important to the regime.
The question of what Starlink does, and we saw this drama play out just on a micro scale in terms of, you know, he's allowing Ukraine to use Starlink for free effectively.
He's not even getting paid.
So he got outmaneuvered on that.
But we saw just the little hint that Starlink wasn't just going to be a little toy for the regime.
The pushback on there.
David Frum even said, oh, if Elon Musk doesn't play ball with Starlink, we're going to nationalize this.
You know, people think of SpaceX and these things as about going to the moon, going to Mars.
No idea.
It's not really what it's about.
It's about who's sending satellites up into space because that is absolutely critical for our quote-unquote national security.
Even putting aside the fact that a national security, for the most part, just means security for the crooks that control our nation, but it's still leverage, and he can use that leverage.
So it's a question of how far is he willing to go?
How much does he really want this?
What is his conviction level?
Does he understand the civilizational importance of open, free speech on a global public square?
And I think his resolve will result from that conviction.
And his leverage is those tools that the national security state absolutely needs in order to maintain hegemony on a geopolitical.
Have we seen any evidence that Elon's reforms are going to be meaningful, or have we seen some things that are less than desirable, like content moderation committees?
That's a great question.
And again, I like to be good cop and bad cop when it comes to Elon.
He can be our instrument, hopefully, or he can be someone who is, again, just put him back in the trash bin as the IT support guy.
It's up to him.
And so far, I think the results have been mixed.
You know, have to give him credit, have to give him to some degree a benefit of the doubt for just pulling it off.
And this guy is not political.
He's not a political genius.
He, you know, from people close to him, he hasn't thought through the political dynamics deeply.
He's not a political person.
He's an engineer.
That's not the kind of game he plays.
He's not an oligarch.
He's not an oligarch like George Soros, whose money is just so deeply intertwined with politics and power that he can operate in a different level of sophistication.
Elon's money is kind of separate from that.
It's tied in, yes, with his role as I.T. support for the regime, but he hasn't reached that sort of oligarch level where he's politically weaponized his money so that he creates an infrastructure and he has robust power with it on an institutional level.
So he's playing a game that's very difficult and he just stepped into it at the highest level.
And he's getting a lot of incoming.
Everybody's whispering in his ear.
So I sympathize with the difficult position that he's in.
The Flawed Content Moderation Board00:02:56
That being said, I think the whole idea of a content moderation board is severely ill-advised.
It's severely ill-advised.
And even on its own terms, if the whole purpose is to deflect criticism from Twitter and from Musk, it doesn't work that way because everybody knows that the council is created by Twitter.
That ultimately, if Twitter wants to, it can ignore the council.
And so you're left with a couple of options.
Either he appoints weak people or actually enemies, like the people like he's just been in consultation with the ADL, which is a disgraced organization.
So either he listens to these people who are completely disgraced, complete enemies of civilization and free speech, or he appoints somebody who's actually good and he's attacked for appointing an extremist on the council.
So if he thinks this is going to get around the criticism, around the pain box, it's not going to get around it.
It's just I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt long term.
I think he will.
And I mean, you don't do a $44 billion asset transfer just to kind of be bullied around by the ADL.
I just, I don't think so.
Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
Look, you've helped build the wonderful My Pillow into the incredible company it is today.
And I got to tell you, the things that they have, like the six-piece towel set, the two bath towels, the two hand towels, the two washclaws, game changer.
The bed sheets, boom, knocked down to $29.98.
But look, orders placed now through Christmas.
We'll have an extended money-back guarantee through March 1st.
It's an amazing way to end your year and do your Christmas shopping and support the wonderful, the amazing, patriotic Mike Lindell.

To our audience, if Elon is successful, this could go down as one of the most consequential purchases in American history.
Is that overstating it?
Not overstating it at all.
And in fact, it's consequential far beyond the actually comparatively meager price tag.
Look, it's $44 billion, which, of course, is nothing to scoff at.
But there are many other companies with vastly higher market caps than that.
Think of Home Depot, which is just to take an example, which is much bigger.
DNC Surveillance Footage Chain of Custody00:05:23
But the question of who controls Home Depot is just not meaningful at a cultural scale, versus the question of who controls Twitter is existential and indeed civilizational.
So I think part of the magnitude of this comes from the very special and indeed unique type of product that Twitter actually is as the de facto global public square.
It's well said.
So, Darren, midterms are looming around the corner.
Yep.
I think it's going to be a good night.
How should we view it, though?
Absent kind of the regime mockingbird way of looking at it.
What are you?
What are you looking at in particular as a harbinger, as a canary in the coal mine?
What is the buried lead of the midterms that Revolver is really going to be focusing on?
Well, what I'm focusing, there are a lot of great people running, and I'm very encouraged by that.
And so, we all know, you know, new and old political stars.
And so, that's a great thing in and of itself.
But to me, really, there's only one thing that I care about.
It's that, okay, if they win, that's great.
What are they going to do?
Yeah, that's exactly what they win.
That's all I care about.
And I don't know if we were planning to discuss this on this program, but we have a bombshell.
Yeah, but I meant to bring it up.
Walk us through a bombshell new piece at Revolver.news on the surveillance footage at the DNC that allegedly captures the pipe bomber.
And Revolver's last piece on this proved definitively that the FBI is withholding that key critical bit of footage that would have shown the pipe bomber actually planting the bomb.
Really weird, isn't it?
Why wouldn't they present that to the public?
They're trying to catch the guy, right?
This is the MAGA pipe bomber terrorist.
The DNC, the Democrats aren't even interested in getting this footage that could help capture the person who planted a bomb outside their national headquarters.
That's a little bit weird, but it gets even worse.
It gets even darker because we've shown not only did they censor critical footage, but it looks like they actually tampered with the footage that they released.
And that's this new Revolver.news piece where we show that the frame rate that they show in this footage is statistically almost impossible.
It has a 1.2 frame rate industry standard, the very lowest level of industry standard is eight frames per second.
It sounds technical, but it's actually very simple when you look at it.
And it really gets down to this: we need the chain of custody for the surveillance footage.
It went to the DNC, then it went to the FBI, then it went to the public.
The people who are responsible for transferring it from the DNC to the FBI have names.
We need those names.
We need that chain of custody because this footage, I believe, is the smoking gun that tears down the entire hoax narrative that's been visited on the American people.
And this isn't just of separate academic interests.
This is the narrative that the regime has been using to cast all of us, me and you included, American people, their families as domestic terrorists, and to marshal the full weight and force of the American national security state to crush us for our political views.
That's what's at stake here.
And so it's very clean.
It's very simple.
We need the chain of custody for those DNC pipe bomber videos, and we need it as soon as possible.
And we need Republicans to do something once they get power.
I do think winning is important.
I don't want to scoff it because you can't tell people to do something if they don't have political power.
But day one of having political power, we need Church and Pike Commission 2.0.
Absolutely.
We need a full-on commission.
We need to root the snakes out.
It's, you know, the bureaucracies are full of these snakes, and we need to stay focused.
I've said in another interview, we've got the receipts now.
We've got the smoking guns.
All we need to do is maintain the focus because the number one chance that the regime has to get away with all of this is the low attention span of the American public.
If we lose focus on this, we lose the game.
We lose the country.
We have to keep focused on what's important.
January 6th, it might seem uninteresting.
The committee is uninteresting, but the narrative is of critical importance because that's what they're using to weaponize the state against you.
That's right.
The censorship, the government pushing big tech to censor, that's of critical importance.
So we zero in on these critical issues with the receipts, and then come the scalps.
I think we need to go after Merrick Garland.
I think he needs accountability for this.
Merrick Garland, Christopher Ray, yes, his scumbag henchman called Stephen D'Antoona.
And then also Mayorkas, but that's a separate issue.
Indeed, indeed.
