Hey, everybody, Tim O'Fin-Wark here with my buddy, Roger Solenberger, who has just kind of a

0:05.4

bombshell of a substack post out late last week that I wanted to get to. The headline,

0:11.0

headline really appeals to me. George Santos with a gun, the untold story of Corey Mills,

0:15.4

a mercenary in Congress. Anything that shits on George Santos, I like. But, man, the details in the story are pretty eye-popping.

0:24.3

Corey Mills is this Republican congressman from Florida.

0:27.8

Roger, I guess we're getting to the details.

0:30.1

Give people a little bit of this guy, like how you get into the story and why he's significant.

1:23.2

with a restraining order for cyber stalking and, you know, revenge porn threats against a different ex-girlfriend

that he was seeing at the same time while he's also, you know, technically married.

1:36.2

So that's, you know, that's the stuff that's really kind of broken through.

1:39.5

He's also been, you know, they tried to censure him twice recently, I think, first time in like September

1:45.0
