And so he was critical of all of that, said our government's out of control. We need to get it into balance. He was warning about things that we now all know about 20 years, but he was doing it 20 years earlier. And so Roger Ver comes out, publicly criticizes it, exposes the fraud that the government was engaged in, the bad conduct at Waco and some other places and Ruby Ridge.
