0:00.0 | Okay, guys. So, as I mentioned, we talked about a lot of Wisconsin politicians, but there's |
0:07.7 | one in particular that we wanted to spend some serious time on. And that would be Scott |
0:13.5 | Walker. You saw at the very beginning him in a video just recorded today and put on his |
