Men and women in uniform and got
it
merry Christmas
Merry Christmas. Thank you
congressman.
The intakes we see from
Democrats on the hill is just
another stark reminder of just
how critical the Georgette
Senate runoffs are to preserving
american prosperity and
preserving president trumps
agenda,
because Reelecting senators,
David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler
is almost standing in the way of
this progressive power grab and
preventing these far left
fantasies from becoming reality.
Lake abolishing the filibuster
packing and expanding the
Supreme Court
deep funding police abolishing
ice, adding two new states, along
with four new democratic
senators and much much more
Rafael Warnick, and have made it
clear. They are ready, willing
and able to be a rubberstamp for
Chuck Schumer and carry out this
socialist wish list.
We are also learning tonight
that one fifth of Georgia voters
have already cast their ballot
ahead of the January fifth races
amid continuing concerns about
election integrity safeguards in
the peach state.
Now earlier today, the Georgia
Secretary of States Office
announced that they sent letters
to individuals who had moved out
of Georgia, but had requested
absentee ballots for the runoff
elections
here to break down the state of
the race, former White House
chief of staff, along with Fox
NEWS, contributor, Charlie, Hurt
and Fox NEWS contributor, ARI
Fleischer.
Thank you so much for joining
has
I want to go to the former
chairman of the Rnc, explain to
us from your perspective, what
needs to happen in Georgia,
whats going on in Georgia and
really weve only got days
until this election is concluded.
Merry Christmas to you and
everyone out there.
Thank you Jason.
First of all, there is two
things that have to happen in
Georgia and I think they are
happening
number one. Voters in Georgia,
especially the Republicans,
obviously have to be convinced
that the Republicans are taking
ballot security seriously,
because there is a lot of people
there that are still
extraordinarily frustrated and
they should be over how that
election was run.
So they have a signature match
in place right now
they have about seven thousand eight hundred poll
watchers ready to go. So that is
the first piece we can spend a
segment on that
this second piece for the party
infrastructure. There is no
reason for the Republicans to
lose early vote or absentee
ballot voting in Georgia.
You can download every day from
the Secretary of State who voted
who did integrate. You
know who your targets are. You
can hire almost unlimited amount
of help on the ground to
identify those voters that have
been voted, bring them to the
polls and cannibalize every single election voter. You can
single election voter you can
between now and election day.
What is going on in Georgia,
this pivotal election
look its bad enough that we
have Nancy Pelosi with the gavel.
I cant imagine Nancy
Pelosi and Chuck Schumer with a
gavel in their hand, but what is
going on with Georgia, but how
does this whole covid relief
plan, which is passing in the
house and will pass in the
Senate later tonight? How does
that play in Georgia?
How do you read those two
together
to get first off? If the
Democrats take races,
we go back to where we were in
two hundred and eighty eight, and when the Democrats held
control of the House Senate
and White House,
we havent been in that position.
Thats when tax hikes got past
and Americas saw an apology.
Tour in the people in charge of
Congress are fine with it.
There is a lot at stake in terms
of who controls the Senate and
thats on the line
in terms of the election itself.
Im nervous, I have to tell you
that great. I think the stimulus
is not going to change anything
significantly in Georgia,
im nervous, because Georgia is a
changing state.
Georgia is not as red as it used
to be.
The fact that Stacy Abrams came
is close, as you did in twenty eighteen
should scare Republicans in the
fact that Joe Biden should scare
Republicans for it. Republicans
have got to assume that the
historical pattern in Georgia
were Republicans when specials
after presidential elections may
not hold up
now. The good news is that both
republican candidates were
actually ahead on election day
of twenty twenty.
They defeated their opponents.
They just didnt get to fifty
percent, which is Georgias,
peculiar rule
pedal to the metal. Every
Republican has to show up and
vote
theres an awful lot at stake.
Charlie. How do you read this
situation, Georgia and also
whats, being passed tonight, any
correlation between the two?
How will that impact the
election moving forward?
I agree. I dont know that
this stimulus package will do
much to change the race in
Georgia.
I think that it does underscore
just the profound importance,
because the big difference
between today and say two thousand and nine when
Barack Obama was in the White
House is. I think this current
crop of Democrats are far more
dangerous than anything we saw
even with Barack Obama bringing
an Obama care.
There is no telling what these
people are going to try to do if
they get control of all lovers
of the government.
Joe Biden didnt even run a
campaign. He didnt even ask people for their vote. He didnt
people for their vote. He didnt even lay out
even lay out an agenda for what
even lay out an agenda for what
he wanted to do.
What does that tell you?
It tells you that he has some
secret moderate agenda that
mainstream agenda that he wants
to purport.
I think not. I think that the
degree of radical crazy that we
are apt to see if they get full
control of the entire shop will
be something we have never seen
before,
and I think another reason- and
I agree also about obviously
changing the dynamics of the
state of Georgia.
But a big thing: there has to be
the profound frustrations that
good citizens feel about their
government,
their government doesnt work
for them and they get frustrated
if you want to be even more
frustrated give up on this
stuff. Now
the entire trump agenda goes up
out. The window ever Republicans
lose the Senate,
commit there are over one hundred thousand
libertarians that voted and
their candidate is illuminated
from this runoff. So how would
that flow with that flow? To the
Republicans, or do Democrats pick
up some of those?
That is one of the first
things that the campaign does on
the ground.
You can pretty much identify
about seventy percent of who those
one hundred thousand people are, and you
target those people with door
knocks with people that are
e mailing. You commit you by
those e mail lists. Everything
about almost every potential
voter in Georgia is known
its not even a joke. They know
what beer they drink, what car
they drive, how many kids they
have and all that data is used
to target every single voter in
Georgia
when you have hundreds of
millions of dollars that are
being spent now in Georgia, for
these two races because, as they
just said, commit the entire
agenda of this country is at
stake, so the interest in this
race obviously is off the charts.
Gentlemen. Thank you so much
for joining us. I wish I had more.
