All right, should we just get into it? I'm ready. Let's do it. Okay, great. Okay. All right. Well,

here's a good one for you bonus episode. We are very pleased to be joined now by the

Democratic primary winner for the mayor of Buffalo. It's India Walton. India. Thank you so

much for being on the show. Oh, thanks for having me. I'm happy to be here. Now,

independent nominating petitions to create an independent line for himself to remain on the

ballot. But the court of appeals overturned the decision by a lower court judge and ruled

him off the ballot. So that is a good thing. Yeah. I mean, I'm going to read about this story.

I mean, it's pretty incredible. Can you talk about this? I'm referring to that lower court decision.

Could you explain who the Sinatra brothers are and how they came to be involved in this race?

Yep. So the first judge who ruled that Byron Brown was able to have access to the ballot

is named Johnson-Natra. He is a judge who was appointed by President Trump. And his brother is

a major contributor to my opponent's campaign, local developer who often skips out on paying taxes
