0:05.7

I'm doing. I'm great. So I want to talk to you. I know you're debating Raphael Warnock tomorrow,

but I would be remiss and get a whole lot of hate mail. If I didn't first let you talk about all the allegations that have been drummed up in the last few weeks by the

And what do you want the audience to know about them? Well, first of all, I want the audience
