Senate Judiciary Committee chairman discusses the importance of the Georgia Senate runoff races.
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Best of luck to you, as you seek
to leave the Rnc again
January. Control in the
United States Senate will be
decided by two runoff elections
in Georgia.
Senators, Kelly, Loeffler and
David Purdue are both looking to
keep their seats and g dot. Op
control of the Senate hangs in
the ballots.
A republican victory in Georgia
would stop the far left agenda
in its tracks, while a democrat
victory would empower the
Democrats to control the House,
the Senate and the White House.
Both parties know the importance
of these two car races and the
campaigns have kicked into high
gear.
Georgia is extending ballot
boxes and a surge in requests
for absentee ballots.
Hollywood celebrities are
pouring funds into this race.
Join us now is Senate Judiciary,
chairman who knows a thing or
two about that Hollywood. Money
in Senate races.
Welcome to you,
I hope its as effective in
Georgia as it was in
South Carolina.
Yet if anyone is
wondering what one hundred dollars million will
get you, it will get you a
South Carolina Senate seat,
laughs
chairman the rules
of the Senate.
Why does it matter? Who controls
the? U dot? S Senate:
let me give you an example:
if we lose these two Senate
seats in Georgia, Nancy Pelosi
will run the house.
Chuck Schumer will run the
Senate
if the President fall short and
Biden gets to be president, you
are going to have Pelosi
Schumer and Biden
its a nightmare for
conservativesconservatism.
What would that do?
They would pack it from nine to
thirteen
that destroys the independence
of the judiciary, because the
Supreme Court would change every
election cycle
that would undo what they tried
to do in creating independent
tradition.
Finally, they let the electoral
college go to the popular vote.
That means that Georgia and
other states would be basically
dealt out in California, and
New York would picked pick a pre
in perpetuity.
The fate of the public really
lies in the hands of our friends
in Georgia.
I live twenty five minutes from the
Georgia border.
We grew up with Georgia
neighbors
to my friends in Georgia. The
country depends on you.
I know you wont let us down, but
im worried.
The majority seems to be with
the Democrats right now.
The money is pouring in.
You cannot turn your television
on in South Carolina without
seeing a commercial
Greenville Spartanburg
Asheville. They are just
flooding the zone
and mail in voting. If you
expand mail in voting in Georgia
and you allow a single person to
validate the signature, adding
election office and you dont
have bipartisan signature
validation. That is a formula
for disaster for our two
candidates in Georgia.
I am worried as we speak
tonight
chairman. I know you
are the chairman of the
Judiciary Committee. Now.
If the Democrats win both these
seats in Georgia, who would be
on the Budget Committee
well Diane stepped down
today, because apparently I gave
her a hug,
and that is an unpardonable sin.
They literally ran her out of
her job because she said
something about me.
Let me give you a good example.
I hope I dont ruin your
thanksgiving.
If Democrats take over the
Senate and we lose
Bernie, Sanders will be chairman
of the Budget Committee in the
United States.
A socialist would be writing the
nations budget in the Senate.
If we keep control of the
Senate im going to be the
budget chairman,
I may not be your cup of tea,
but let me tell you this im
a
of a lot better than
Bernie Sanders when it comes to
your money.
A lot is at stake.
Help where you can.
The money is coming in major
league on the democratic side,
my campaign team, Graham, we
transferred a million dollars
tonight to Senator Purdue. For my
campaign account.
I gave a million dollars to an
RFC to every member of the
house.
Please turn your campaign
account to help Georgia.
If you want to help me or help
Georgia Lindsey, Graham dot com,
we need to close that gap,
but weve got a good message.
Weve got two great candidates.
I know Georgia pretty well here
thats, where my parents came
from.
I just cannot believe that
people in Georgia are going to
allow this country to be turned
into a socialist nation,
thats really whats on the
ballot.
So if I heard you
correctly, if the Democrats win,
Bernie Sanders will be the
chairman of the Senate
committee.
If Republicans win, you are
having done a Christmas gift
exchange with you. You are more
fiscally conservative than
anybody else. I know
laughs.
The box was more
expensive than the present I got.
This is all hands on deck,
Lindsey, Graham dot com.
I will transfer the money over
to our friends and our Senate
colleagues,
I want to double that
youve got friends in Georgia,
make sure they vote.
President Trump keep fighting.
We need to change this law in
Georgia.
It is a nightmare for us,
so President Trump keep
fighting.
We need President Trump to go to
Georgia, because there are people
in Georgia who voted for
President Trump, that believe in
him more than the Republican
Party.
I think that his voice could go
a long way in helping us when
the two Senate seats.
Well, Senator Graham,
I know you are doing everything
you can do.
