Im really not focused on it,
im really not focused on it,
and I think that too often the
politics in Washington has been
about the politicians
im a pastor.
He also is distracting from
the fact that he would pack the
Supreme Court
thats outrageous
justice Ginsburg said that nine
justices is the right number.
He would pack the court with
radical justices that would
legislate from the bench to
fundamentally override the
constitution in our laws in the
country and Georgians need to
know thats wrong for Georgia
and our country
Steve the two people that would like to be senators. One is from
like to be senators. One is from
Georgia.
If someone asks you, if you
pack the court, you say no,
I mean, even if you actually
want to do it, you say no, its
fairly easy to say. No.
The other Democrat running in
Georgia, Jon Ossoff, has said no
Ainsley hes a preacher. He
cant lie
Laughter
Ben thats, a great answer
that explains the whole thing.
No seriously
this guy. When it came to this
issue and when it came to
answers on questions about
abortion, you know they just
really kind of set this message
of radicalism.
I called my uncle Rick, who is a
Georgia voter, very engaged in
politician and asked him what he
thought of the debate and he
felt that the questions that
were being put to Reverend
Warnock. How do you balance
liking, kittens and puppies at
the same time, and it really was
softball after softball and yet
he managed to come across on the
cultural questions as being
someone who seems pretty radical
and thats, something that I
think is definitely going to be
a factor in this election
Ainsley. If you look at the
polls, real clear politics have
them neck and neck, and if you
look at what happened at the
beginning of November, they said
this was big blue wave and there
wasnt you had an uptick for
Republicans. Democrats lost
seats.
So do you think when you look at
the two seats? What is it really
going to look like the next day
after the election
Ben? I have so little trust in
polls
a handful of them got it right.
We have to say that theres, so
many different, like systematic
problems with this industry that
still need to be resolved and
im, not sure how much faith we
can put in this.
These are close elections neck
and neck and its about
motivations.
I think the president made a
very good case for coming out to
vote for both Senator Perdue and
Loeffler, and if you want to see
Trump agenda, this is the kind of
person that you need to vote for,
in the instance,
im, not sure thats. What we want
to hear from Washington
Republicans revert to the way
everything because before
President Trump,
I think that will be a problem
for both of these candidates to
navigate over the coming weeks.
Brian, I did see in Washington
Post that they did informal
poll. Twenty five reporters asked
republican if they believed the
president lost, and they said no,
and basically they would not
comment,
so they are still united behind
him or afraid to cross him.
If it is job becomes president
on January 20th, they made
another selection announced last
night.
The the attorney general of
California, Xavier Becerra, would
be the health secretary.
What does that tell you about
the type of president that he would be
would be.
Ben unity. Stuff is garbage
hes extreme on the issue,
someone who tried to force all
sorts of different christian
nonprofits to advertise in favor
of abortion in his own state,
hes, someone who is absolutely a
radical and so naming him to a
position like Hhs, something
that he hadnt been considered
on. The short list for is really
a shot across the ballot.
Anybody who thought this was an
administration that backed off
the culture war pressure on so
many things, nuns are back on
the menu, my friends we will
get in legal troubles
Steve. I saw you on time doing
analysis and I saw a woman named
Angela in LA and she was going
youre not going to believe
this. They close med down and
ive got a tent that looks like
NBC, has in the parking lot and its legal. What do you make of
its legal? What do you make of
this hypocrisy
in California movie are
essential businesses and its
hypocrisy and insulting and
offensive
honestly, I feel so sad for the
small businesswoman and everyone
else who is being affected by
this in such Ineach ways.
This is ridiculous.
We have to get away from the
hand handed approach
it isnt based on science, but
who has got the bigger lobbyist
and who has more access to throw
at politicians to get what they
want
its absurd.
I have to tell you Steve im
in pretty good mood after this
week, because I accomplished
something which was a home
repair project. One trip to the
home depot, which I did not
existed,
Steve Amazing.
What did you do?
Ben Megan? Some blinds fell
in the nursery and we needed to
put in curtains, and so turning
that around is rapidly as it
was. I dont know I felt good
about this weekend.
I tried to focus on that
Brian. I would have had to take
classes first.
