happy to have jointly with us on the swing. You know and love her as one of the host of cricket media's podcast what a day- and I don't like to native even better- we are also working to be drawn. Invite your next secretary of state be when the and, as you might know, Stacey abrams was supposed to be here. He unfortunately tested positive for coven. She is home recovering well, and we have a pre taped interview with her that will be running later. So he wanted to talk to you guys I feel like. Is it give me the energy it deserves? You know what I mean a special interview, it's very

especially if we record exclusive exclusive exclusive it makes no one else got it, it's an exclusive. No one else got it. That's good you're going to have to you're going to have to stick around there. You gotta a with it. Alright, let's get to the news, you might have heard that the twenty twenty four gp front, runner donald, from is now the target of multiple investigations for a variety of potential crimes. We go there. We go Oh hell, no fox hold on a second hold on everybody. Calm down. I know it's a year ago: let us not become that which we etc lock him up after a rigorous and fair process in accordance with the rule of law, lock him up with,

Rigorous and fair process in accordance with the rule of law law came in a cook, everyone You're on your own foxen friends, right now,

yeah god. Anyway. Let me just go through the week on Wednesday, the former president asserted his fifth amendment right against self incrimination during a deposition in new york related to allegations that trump's businesses committed financial crimes. We sort of forgot about that. One yeah we've just been under the radar here in georgia, trump's being investigated for his attempt to overturn the twenty two thousand election, and yesterday we learned from an f b, I search warrant that the federal government is investigating trump for hiding highly classified documents in his beach house, for which he offered a series of conflicting explanations. First, there were no documents, it's a hoax, a second okay. There were documents, but they were planted. Three okay, they weren't planted, but Barack Obama did it too.

Before this statement from trump's office, which was first read on fox news. Late last night by conspiracy, theorist John solomon- let's take a listen. This is from president trump's office. It just came in a few minutes ago, as we can all relate to everyone, just as as we can all relate to, everyone ends up to bring on their work in chinatown. American prisoners are no different procedure in all to prepare the work. The next day, often two documents Hooting classified documents to the residents here standing order. There is the word out a little boy that documents remit. Given the oval office, adapting to the residents were deemed to be the case. If had the moment, he removed the fifth, obviously famous discipline, late night, studying workhorse. donald trump burning, the camera that oil a pair of bifocals tipping on the edge of his nose just one Somalia can sleep

perusing the documents tommy. What do you think about trump's work from home? Excuse does or does this this remote work thing does this? Does this give him the right to hide nuclear secrets in his beach house? he was fired from his job. I mean I do couldn't like this one a guy. Like you say, I carry matheson up their spreading out the intel on isis burrowing into the cells reading about mccrone sex life, giving string. We were laughing at it, but it's it's exhausting! You know they threw out five different excuses. Nerds, like us have to do them, but you know we came all the way to georgia, so we might as well so that on the first, you're that you're the nerd look I mean I was. There was reporting back thousand and eighteen as early as february, two thousand eating the donald trump stopped getting a written copy of the presidential daily briefing the pd, because he just didn't feel like reading it, because it was written regulars right.

those written three. There are briefing airy skip. You do know somehow yet jean pierre to just near rate this for me right yet, and we all know the eu is doing laden ideas tweeting at fox news too, I mean buddy. You have like a home office, your house office are both of the white house. If you want to take the documents from your office to your home, just take them in walk them back? You don't need a standing order to declassified like what I sound ridicule. As even saying this is it so observe, but you know if there was a standing order feel free to produce it, but regardless you can't store the top secret documents in the basement of your beach club next to the poor floating in the in Xinjiang. You know that work there anymore. You were fired, you are you you another job anymore and

You also by the way, can have your lawyer sign a document to the fbi back in june, saying that you'd returned all the classified documents when that is not true. That is also a big, no, no with fbi types and also I know that the fbi was apparently very worried about whatever they saw in the surveillance footage from that general area of moral ago that they subpoenaed so yeah. The fact they saw they saw a bunch of waiters looking for after all, been reading about like how we make nuclear missiles are fitted up around a dash of this, Oh wait a second! If the op rolls down here, what did I pray on their jersey? The warrant shows three different laws that trump might have broken. Can you walk us through what those are how much trouble? How much trouble might our guy be facing here? Well, if the fbi shows up to your house, I've never heard.

someone's house, where the f b I shows up and it's a good story just where the piano like they never bring a million dollar check. You know it's like always, but that he is facing espionage act which it's all in the name. you don't you don't want that traffic for itself, obstruction of justice. He and a turns out. You cannot destroy classified documents as an elected official, if you don't permission to do that, but I do so that's a lot of truck. That's you know you could get some time for that. I think the

He walked no. No, it's ok. I think that the big question, what we don't know is was this whole investigation leading up to the search of mar logo simply to retrieve the documents and to get them back to get back us information. Or will the investigation result charges that we just don't know it all right now, but we did get some more information today from the new york times tat some great detail it's about how trump himself reached out to merrick garland and I dunno use or threat bribed what twitter are using for an intermediary trumpet trumpet so apparently find photo trump had a person talked to someone, a d o j after the after his home was searched and say he wanted to send a message to merrick garland and the message was he had been checking in with people around the country and found them to be enraged by the search, and the message was that

tree is on fire. What can I do to reduce the heat? Look at this fire? I just said: what can we do about? This is paid garlands me trump. I'd like figure out how to turn down the temperature. That thing I'm famous for doing now, one thing I could do is tell everybody not to kill F b, I agents, but short of that. My hands are tied. I really want to know who made the call it is talking about that exactly wonderingly. Yes, I ve ever given guest and speculate. That has to be a real like questioning our life moment, like all the choices made leading out. If you are calling the oj on behalf of donald trump. You're give something has gone wrong along yes or no down to like, like the real lawyers that were furious at the lawyers, they called tee crazy right there, all now gone and ever placed by p,

but even lower down the fuckin ladder into sewage. By these, like just loose anchors, away and with law degrees getting plucked from obscurity and suddenly signing off on warrants said marilla go. I do think it's amazing they donald trump. Is it just such a habit to him? interfere with department of justice investigations that he does it? Even when he's not president, what did he just call the concierge at our logo? We place a call to imagine getting that call it d o j, though it's like there's someone, former away and anchor on the phone saying that they have a message from donald trump, he said he's been checking it. On the contrary, it every what may happen from edmunds entered upon me. Well, you, like you, know Mary garlon who Obviously, we all know was in

some kind of a paper chamber very you know I'd, say even healed even killed. the temperament. He was like radiating with anger at that brief, when he gave that press statement and part you you felt like he was furious, because, obviously them in attacks on the f b. I has been all this sort of malicious misinformation being spread about what they were. Weighing what you wanted to dispel, but I am at you look at you. I wonder if part of it was the fact that the the previous president had states called and did a like a sopranos era. Pretty pretty nice department adjust you ve got here would be shame if something would happen to it. The serious truth of it is that merit girl and signature experience and public life was prosecuting the opel monsieur city bombing, so heat exact threat cities here about the fbi agent, Work for him now are went lead.

That bombing in the nineties now, although the time that he didn't get on the supreme court Mr president, I know you don't remember this guy I've day, I would say by, I would say that's what he doesn't therapy, that has to say in therapy that does not need to come out of their, so dan trump accused obama of taking nuclear secrets with them to Chicago after he left the white house, where you and accomplished so that crime or did We advise them against that, were you I would know, go on. As your lawyer, I advise you not to answer yeah. I need to find you know a an anchor to speak. For me, I mean in the obama white house, unlike the trump white house, hoping the president commit crimes was not part of the job description, so no, I mean, I think, only fashion crimes.

cancer. Dad genes Hell I go. I invited scratch. You haven't between twenty three gammon are now agreed that, like this, been a talking point on the right. This idea that obama took thirty million pages of documents. The Chicago here is the truth. I'm gonna give you a swell, learn it's bullshit, but let me explain why. There is a presidential records act which has everything that a president does his staff. They write down is to be preserved for history right every email, every speech draft every member is we preserve and then eventually those documents will end up in the president's library. So when obama left the white house at twenty seventeen, thirty million pages of documents were given to the national archives, they were sent to Chicago we are in chicago near worthy library, will be they are under the

physical, legal custody of the national archives, not brok about whether not in this house or nine is beach house are not enough then his garage there and they bearing the custody of the national archives. The classified documents are chicago. They are in Washington dc in a facility, went by and operated by the national archives, specifically designed to protect classified secret, doesn't have a poor. Yeah, let's get to their age, I wish you'd know national archivist, admiral logo just joined up again. Morocco is not a national archives facility to declare its authors. Incredibly stupid argument made by very stupid people very often spear those people of it new york times, reports that republicans are now divided over whether

criticized the fbi for it's search after coming on a little hot. Let me just look: they came out a little hut and some trump allies are warning. Senior g o p officials to scale back the attacks on d, o J and f b. I because this set of facts could get worse for the former president, isn't anything like what just cut the guy loose start saying: nice things about ronda santas? What are you doing the way of defending him still no good. They should do that like for the sake of republicans winning. They should be doing that, but they Can'T- and I was thinking about why these- why they can't. So. I think that, like this sequence of events, like any captures, the problem, which is you know the worst human beings in the worst mainstream political party and the planet there out. First right, instant, they don't wait. You know me three taylor grown is out there

grown god earth, but, like this all weaker, moreover rise out of them than our work is in finnish, but, but do you know, Jim Jordan raises two: the MIKE's marjorie taylor greens has to fund an fbi, Sean Hannity's up fox news is up there up and all the ones that want to wait and give it a beat to figure out what they should say, all the all, the kind of more reluctantly pro trump figures, all the anti anti trump figures who are

Oh wait to see what a liberal say so they can attack the liberals while ignoring whatever else is happening. All those people are quiet and by the time they get around to saying anything they ve set those those pro those trumpets have sort of set the bounds of what you have to do, to prove your loyalty and right now, there's no other means of connecting with republican base other than demonstrating you're fealty to trot. That's how you prove you get it, and so I dont know I mean even we know this is an opportunity for on dissent, as this is an opportunity for anybody wants a kind of cut trump loose and they would love to take it, but they either. You know, jump together or hang separately. Anatomy acre start again. They can't do it he's he's right the mall. He said twenty. Sixteen they're all weak opponents are on the weekends right Josie you're from here. What's going on with the the yeah, you got an atlanta native tell us what's going on with this fulton county investigation into trump's attempt to overturn the election, because that's that's sort of under the radar here, yeah! Well,

here. It's not here it's here, it's real on the radio. You may remember that donald trump told our secretary of state to find eleven thousand seven hundred and eighty votes. Do you remember that? Do you remember that and just excellent execution on his I would say that so that's not allowed turns out. If you can't do that, so now there there are local or fulton county DA the next county over and is investigating him at giuliani's involves lindsey graham, is involved here, they're having a tough time getting those two to testify yeah, it turns out like

would you want to testify yeah if I'm, if I'm their lawyer, I'm telling them to stay home, and you know I've been pretty critical of this da, but a broken clock twice a day and you can always bet against donald trump and you will have the moral high ground I mean. That's the lesson, but the important thing about this is that Donald trump's lawyer in this case is also migos. Lawyer cardi B's lawyer, and walk a flock, as lawyer gucci means lower billion dollar layer. That's his name Macedonia billion dollar. Later they actually have no real holiday party. you're always go to your letters holiday party, but that when you go to, I think it is most atlanta legal proceedings possible

and I love it so much you know. So I support that. Seventeen people have been designated targets of this investigation. That's a lot of people will, if you like, the problem is, I don't jump, doesn't know into shut his mouth and so like. If you are going to commit crimes have to be quite about This is not official legal advice, I'm not a not a real lawyer, but you have to be quiet about them and he's never quiet about them. So users implicating just running around saying to everybody, find some boats and then you're like everybody's implicated in the sand. He had a lot of helpers.

Seven problems and the IRA is all of them. That's right Cyber very special. Ok. Stop about the sex worse thing to happen. A conservatives this week the passage of the inflation reduction act which invest in eighty seven thousand new iris agent, specifically so the ira's will have resources to finally go after wealthy people and corporations that to their taxes

Let's go that beautiful bellyaching footage this bill for and eighty seven thousand new iris agents. Imagine iris. Agents descending upon america, like it swarm of locusts. Ok, some good he's, really sticking with a beard her at the choice through fit with the law. some vibe, it doesn't work with the beer does more without the bearded, it's also like, so they Republican spent five years, ten years trying to undermine the irs trying to make it so that they could for us, the logs at against anyone except the most basic of fires, which meant they want. They wanted to arrest the target the poor in the middle

class. That's why some of those audited places some of the poorest basin country and then we say we're gonna fix it. I want to put more people on it I call it an army of locusts, it's not anywhere near eighty. Seven thousand completely made up figure. There were some treasury report that said the treasury department overall over the next ten years, is going to have eighty six thousand people. Half of them are like people who are just retiring, their refilling that they're they're, just replacing people who are retiring and then there's like all kinds of other jobs. It's just it's insane. It's like Joe Biden can create eighty seven thousand jobs with good benefits, good for him other than that they are republicans. Hollowed out the irs after two thousand ten after they won and audits of billionaires millionaires. Big corporations went down to like to three percent. That's what happened and endeavouring to get out of it, so this bill exposed to make sure that rich people get out of it, so they don't shoot and their taxes.

And have you tried to contact the ira's? It's broken. It well, there's nobody air nobody there, I as planned. is something going on leash from the american people arranged money in a president. But of course while we are only going to unleash the arrest on only a wealthy with respectively, if he believes laddie also believes in the tooth fairy. The easter bunny and then Jimmy Hoffa, that of natural causes. Ok, so I think I think colonel sanders living in hiding has a point. I think you look so robin Williams in mrs dad fire when he ducks is facing the cake comes back up. That's you mean really evident. It's also great when he says with respect respects you something scathing, we know

how can we help it? I wish I hadn't you the other day we don't know. Maybe When they put him in that hole, he got scared and did die by heart. Naturally, you know as basel now under the J. Under the jail at the meadow land. I got the metal answer that's right is that what it is? An irishman now that was long mummy best party irishman is when Joe. She has to play a young man coming down the stairs? That's right, let's keep relent the so called inflation reduction act also says: the billion dollar budget is for quote increased enforcement operational improvements, and customer service. What kind of customer service we don't have to wonder before the irish took it down yesterday there was a posting watch this on their website that listed the job requirements for a special agents position.

The major duties require agents to quote, carry a firearm and be willing to use deadly force if necessary, a little like james, but instead of hunting down evil maniacs. These agents went down and kill middle class taxpayers that don't pay enough. Ok, stop amazing! I like I've really kill at the last minute, was an ad lib, yeah sort of kill the ira Is it going to shoot you like doktor LISA, shoots me with botox every three months, as has It is equally able for what is this Others are like brain, but a man we see this special agent job in the customer service, rather different jobs. Its that's obvious right There is the customer service people don't need guns it has taken the calls right here.

Middle class, they're, gonna kill you not subtle. It's really are we we at it dangerous you I do want to know more about this job posting they did they. They take it out stick its. How would you feel like if you work for the hour ass, like you, don't actually need to be armed today? They probably in a couple People with guns I almost entirely of mass unemployment and address, find those- and I leland ass, an employee of the irish and try to remember my untouchables. I would do so because I was alarmed when I saw the cook there's a special unit of the irish that does like for like financial crimes, like money laundering, international terrorism, that kind of stuff on order all unit that people, those people need guns they're going after like tat, financing lawn, ordered well, then irs criminal justice system which The heinous financial crimes

sued by the agents of the internal revenue service. These other stories about bulk up is there more Let's roll the Clinton, the I'm going to do the all tax. It's an ad Biden is building a shadow army of eighty thousand new agents to hunt you down and take your money but in general Now that I had a dream that was its head crews- ed, I think so I think you ve put is twitter and I would say, between the poor and the best taken, I would say: The best takers ads have no ted That's right! You get the message messenger if they haven't figured out what works?

calling the mansion shimmer billows a weird edition of the interior. Lovers idea. That's a shadow army. It's it's a bit like they're, really proud of this bill. What he's told everybody about right it's! Not it's not in the shadows was not alone driven out about talk about on television for weeks. I do feel like by is the kind of person to tell everybody about a shout army. If I dont that's what happens very dark random, yeah buried, I told her I saw I know what that means. By just say they come after Biden five years from now it is the other government properties, It's just cases of ice cream counts, stale old ice cream cones, you didn't wanna, go to ways and that's ok, sorry! We go through the time for more news, so president Biden is about to sign an historic climate and healthcare.

bill into law thanks to a razor, thin democratic majority. That only exists because it, record number of georgians turned out to vote the you guys. You did it in two thousand and twenty to this date, so in two thousand twenty two, this date is again at the center of the political universe, control of the send It- could come down to whether you reelect reverend ruffian warnock. You can protect the rule law and voting rights by electing jordan is attorney general in tonight's gaspe, when a secretary of state and you finally have a chance to replace Brian,

amp by electing stacey abrams as your governor, the so, let's dig into these races a bit in the mid terms in general, which have become much more competitive over the last couple of weeks, josie, the polling averages show senator warnock with a small lead over hershel walker and in brian camp, with a small lead over stacey abrams boo, John boo. We can do that, but you live here. You've been watching this race up close. What do you think? What's the lay of the land here? What are the issues driving this risk. I think that georgia, as a blue state, I like that one of the fastest growing states in the country when are the biggest growing minority populations in the country. This is a police state and the future of this country

it's going to come out of the south and it's going to come out of georgia, so I think we're going to win we're going to win. I like the good pitch. I've never been wrong. I've been wrong a few times, but I'm not wrong this time. I'm sure you're in the prediction, business yeah, definitely donburi. I didn't see the. I definitely didn't see the mar a lago of the open coming then, why do you think camp is slightly ahead in the governor's race but warnock is slightly ahead in the senate race like their camp war, not voters there. What's going on John, I reject the premise your question yes pulling, bullshit?

an okay, okay, but because you've done such a great job hosting this podcast, I will try to answer it. You thank you. So I think donald trump in a weird way did a favor to brain camp. by opposing his candidacy in the most half hearted ass, backward donald trump way possible, and so by kind of in David Purdue data, proving an absolute miserable stupid candidate brain camp, wins the primary we're gonna clap for David produce being miserable. thereabout brain and winning that primary with trump opposing him has given him sort of imbued him with like two character traits in the eyes of a lot of voters. One is strength because he beat donald trump in two was moderation right. It's it seemed. It gives like a lot of republicans who voted for Biden or conservative leaning independents voted for Biden. The idea that Brian camp

his anti trump, but he's not donald trump as anti brain cap, the brain, is anti donald trump, because even sadder right yeah. This is very very side and settling pen situation, the coming for you, that's terrific! and so the race now sort of shifts. I like, I believe that that momentum is fleeting, says. Abram has time to make the case think in the long run, having donald trump removed from the picture and not making this be about twenty twenty or election theft or anything about it. Making being about who is going to fight For every single georgie? Most we brain camp there, Stacy abrams is the terrain she wants to fight this race on it can be about health care can be about costs, it can be about helping people can be about abortion and what can happen in the state and that I think, in the end, will benefit her and give her a very, very good shout to industry. Despite what these fake poles, you prefer to say right now.

because she's she's born abiden, you know spoke about you're behind you get covered. Everything goes straight. You in there is. That's how it works. Now there is replace right key part of it as the ice. Okay tommy, it seems like the other race in the senate. Race seems like Hershel walker strategy is to blame warnock for inflation and gas prices and everything that's pissing. People off warnock strategy is to convince voters that walker is unfit to serve in the senate. And what do you think about that strategy? Let me, I think I think they're both could strategies to be honest about you. I mean, I think you know personal walker. Is gonna try to Ty warnock to president Biden, is low approval ratings. We're getting better time to inflation, the time to high gas prices and everything that people are

about in the world, and you know normally that the party in power lose seats in the first may turn so to make sense of the strategy on the other side, if you weren't always going to lead with his bio and things he's been fighting for the last couple of years and what he's gotten done, but he's also going to try to disqualify walker that means talking about. There's this really pre searing ad! That features a clip of Hershel walker, his ex wife talking about abuse. You know pointing a gun at her head, really harrowing stuff he's been lying about his his background. There's a walker lied about an fbi agent which, by the way, thank god him that he lied about being fbi agent is their variant. Popular with republicans. Right now I mean I could have been a problem, get ahead of alan and then there's just like I a bucket. I would colic like what are you talking about like the air? loading, the china and climate change,

You know what I mean. He had more of a point there than we'd like to admit he talk about this later. So I you know, I look I hands up. I was pretty worried about herschel walker's candidacy, because he's famous caesar amazing for ballplayers, a hero to a lot of people high and mit, he's really struggled so far and yes, Biden's approval is in a in a low place, and that makes it harder for the democratic party, but I think right now I would rather be warnock than I would herschel walker. Yeah. I mean time you can ask yourself what kind of some follow up questions or follow up one dooley, herschel walker can execute a strategy without speaking publicly. That part is going to be hard. He did He didn't interview with the head of the aral sea on their podcasting not with that run around me, run around about you know he's helpful hell of. Do you think that it's a problem

him that his name is associated with most lopsided traded, nfl history. Potentially us these are good questions. It is tough because we we talk about all these republican candidates and we ve had this debate like do we call them extreme? Do we call them out of touch junk veterans, column, doktor, ass, out of touch lot of other public units are extreme. I guess you could say that herschel walker is out of touch an extreme The unfit label is, is unique to herschel walker and I think, sort of the only way to go because its target rich environment there with ursule walkers we're like the everyone's trying to be sort of play. categorizing all the different, weird things these its yeah, we're outer fucking space president play the fifth its below the full, you got a guy runnin around how the answers are like he's like why? I threatened my wife. I wasn't myself. I was one of the many other people that live inside of my head

stories only in the news for three days guys In fact, I think we should make an issue of it. Some time this just very you need a lot of careful strategies is the very obvious route. It there were even having this conversation. It feel like even in preparing for this show into a game later we talk about your terrible fuckin. Republicans even using clips about herschel wanker you're like wait. We must savage this man, it also like should really like I feel there is anything wrong I get oh, I don't know what to do. If, because of that, he's basically, like being just one, have pushed out to do this, but I I think that's why what one of worn arcs early adds was like hey, you know: herschel walker, great football player, I love a baltic, but he's not fit for the senate. You know, like he's, trying to take that tack really get some of you know him now.

As a football star? That's great! That's fine shouldn't be in the? U s and yeah, and then this super pacs dust off their baseball bat and they start swinging. I mean that's sort of how it works these days, but yeah, I'm glad someone is love it. We talked last night about how Democrats have been gaining momentum, since the dobbs ruling and they're now heading into the midterms, with this historic climate and healthcare law to campaign on. Republican strategists are at least saying they're, not that worried. They're saying this, since the law won't do that much to reduce inflation in the short term over the next couple of months that it won't help. Democrats and may actually hurt them if they're just bragging about reducing inflation, but the bill doesn't actually take effect for a while. What do you think about that? And and how should Democrats handle that talk about this bill? First of all,

start by trying to take his little advice, as we can from a public and strategy to say it's not on the level, and I dont think that our interests at heart first point always that what you think we shouldn't do interesting. That said, no, I dont think demographic walker on saying we solved inflation. I do that would be helpful of gas prices. Keep going down that be a good thing for democrats to do by having it happened to them. But beyond that, you know it's about the choice republicans made in opposing this is bill about reducing health care costs, reducing the costs of prescription drugs. They were against it and TIM Ryan, whose you know running this race in ohio. He mounted F b, I not arrayed

in said, search and seizure and said you know. The these republicans are fighting for. Donald trump were fighting for you right there obsessed with every other thing, except doing things that will help you in your day to day they're like where you want to call it extreme or out of touch here. Are the things we're fighting for here the things we're trying to do, for you hear that things will keep doing. If you keep us in charge, here's what they care about. Taking away your your rights, taking away your right to vote and attacking the f b, I because it's a polit we convenient for them to defend donald trump. They care more about helping donald trump than they do about about about you, as I mentioned earlier. Obviously, Stacey abrams couldn't be here tonight, but she was gracious enough and well enough to tape an exclusive interview. That's right, silent, emerging interview right before they show minutes before they show like when I can rocky when they like she's, like cut me, cut me rock go in. I gotta do parts it we're done even about

That's how you gonna stay abrams working towards a america. Thanks for having me how you feel- and I am on the men, the sahara, his deserted my throat and my eyes- are no longer on fire, so I'm I'm getting there. I just here's. Here's what I think I think like a hustle culture at an absolute disarm, sneaking, in my view, this hustle culture, its absolute worst. Alright, we're We have out your house with some soup. Alright. Thank you. I appreciated the soup has been good. I've had a couple of french dropsy bought for me, and it has been quite tasty are they think jump in worked as well as I hope it was

I was going to pop in laughing right now. We don't know, we don't know, though I I know better than to ask you about polls, so I'm not going to do that. But what have you found to be the most surprising and difficult challenge of of this campaign against Brian Kemp? That people give him credit for not committing treason? It is. It is stunning to me that someone who built his reputation and his entire political career on voter suppression, who responded, as he said, to the frustrating results of twenty twenty and twenty one. By once again, imposing more voter suppression and more barriers for voters gets credit, because once he didn't do the absolutely wrong thing

It's also amazing to me that he is getting credit for spending billions of dollars. He opposed, and he does this remarkable jujitsu, where he takes credit for all of this money that he says shouldn't be here, but does the reason he should get reelected yeah. That sounds that sounds pretty ridiculous. I have no special distance. as you for not committee treason, you know, I think, is a fairly low bar one that we should expect of all elected officials. It's like gum, you know, hey doing prize. I didn't put these puppies in this wheat thresher nobel prize for that you're not supposed to do that We not be the analogy. I pick your guy create the rapid you. You ve been pointing out camps, extreme position on abortion. If you're governor yu face republican legislature that has already passed him very restrictive abortion laws working

you do as governor to protect abortion access while number one. We know that he is going to make it harder if he comes, and he has already said that he thinks the bounty system in texas was interesting and something worth looking at. He has said that as a personal matter. He does not believe in exceptions for raper incest, and so there is nothing to stop him from making things worse. In some. First and foremost I can forestall the legislative imperative that they tend to feel to worsen and one up one another with these draconian laws. But on the positive side, I was in the legislature when we passed when the state pass. The twenty week ban, which was the problematic and narrowly adopted the six week ban passed by one vote in the house. The number of those who voted for that ban are no longer with the legislature. I believe my action, will also bring people with me. Who will hear the people loud and clear and will reverse these bans? What we say

in Kansas, I think is absolutely happen here in georgia, but we need a governor willing to do the work. I want to ask you just a completely unrelated topic about Michel nicholls, because this, they were, you know we're both were both star trek fence and I know she meant a lot to you. I just want to hear what you felt when you heard that she had passed in what way What are some of your favorite moments were of michelle Nichols on star trek, so I actually had the chance of meeting her. We were in the airport together coming out of, I think, l a and she was so gracious and gorgeous and thoughtful, and she just chatted me up about the work I was doing for democracy, which for me was Yes, it's been great meet president obama and all those people by Michel, nicholls complementing you on your work is an extraordinary thing, but what room? What energized me about her is that her work? Was it just on the screen?

was the work she did to get women in science, the work she did to champion inclusion. And that she always did it with such grace and kindness and she create space for everyone else in the room to be a part of the conversation, and those are things we take four we should take for granted but wish we we doubt and it's surprising when you confronted and she every time I had the chance to see her after that. It just reminded me of what just an extraordinary human she was, and I'm also just going to once again give you this opportunity to join me. I'm saying that star trek six, the undiscovered country is the best star trek film, you've dodged as before and bottom hoping to get a straight answer on this question, you're wrong. While okay, okay, that's it, I try to be straightforward with you and I apologize if I, if I tried to as I didn't, want to hurt you last time, but I think it's important that we we do have an honest relationship

obviously I needed to hear that a political process- it it's ok, there's help. Are you bore I just had covert, I'm not afraid of you. You wanna play portal to authority in total. Let it go out european survive. has november, and then we can talk about you. You said in advance the other week. If black men vote. You, then you will win. What is your message to us cited black men or undecided voters in georgia everywhere who are not yet If they're not going to vote for you or Campet, whether they're going to come out to vote at all. As the point of my comment was that black men have remarkable power in this election, they have a capacity that sometimes has not met by their turn out, which is legitimate and honest, and I dont disparage those who make the decision not to vote because often the leadership they get selected is not reflective of their needs. That said, I know that if we have the kind of turn up possible among blackness,

and they vote for me. I will win the selection. That is why my kids, aid has been so focused on making sure were addressed the challenges of china it is our safety justice end up trinity, on the safety side. It's making sure we our community safe, but that we also owe police and law enforcement accountable. That we don't have to choose. One of the other their only just decide that criminal justice reform is critical, because georgia has had and continues to have won the highest mass incarceration rates in the nation and as people are returning citizens they deserve to be reintegrated into society and to have real chances at success as an opportunity. for those who are doing well or want to do better, need to tackle affordable housing, we need to make sure that lack entrepreneurs can actually get access to the resources, the capital and the key. Tracks they deserve georgia's in this unique space where, if we don't have a new governor, it will be one hundred years before we close the

charity gap between minority and non minority contracting and that's especially acute for black on businesses. Those are the things I can do and I'm the only candidate willing to talk about doing and so to me, if a person is willing to say they see the problem, how do you expect them to solve it? Last question, for you go to a big audience here tonight, filled with people who are probably going to be volunteering for you, knocking on doors, for you making calls for you they're going to be talking a lot of voters who aren't sure if they are going to vote either. You've got a pep talk, everyone in the audience tonight I did look in twenty eighteen. I was running for eighteen months that created a very different energy and also is exhausting. It was fantastic and I appreciated it. But this time we had a different dynamic to this action, but the urgency is real because eight year, four years ago I was passed, What could happen now we know, and we also know what good leadership can look like. I need every person out there, not just

spend their disbelief but to lean enter their hope for more. We can get this done. We ve got the numbers. We ve got the voters with proven it and twenty twenty and twenty twenty one we can do it again and twenty two's, I just need everyone to show up, bring your friends bring the people you are to make sure you, actually the folks you broke up with as long as it wasn't. Really really ugly and just get them out there, because if we build this energy again, we can absolutely win this election and the last thing I'll say for both of us and I think, b, we'll talk about it. We know that this is about democracy. If we do not have a governor and twenty twenty two Elected and taking office in twenty three are two hundred and seventy electoral votes across the country are jeopardy in georgia is going to be a pivot point. We know the because the more decision that is likely to come down for the support and twenty twenty three state legislators and governors are going to do I the future. We have already seen this happen with Ruby wade. We know it's going to happen across the board.

governors matter this governor matters and if we want governors to do what's right for our p, Well, I need to be the one we slept here endured stacy abrams. We miss you tonight, but thank you so much for for joining reassume.

if you ve, been on youtube or facebook lately than we can guarantee ve seen a video from Brian Tyler Cohen, brain also home. One of the country's top ranked political podcast called no lie with brain tyler cohen. We he breaks down the biggest days of the week and interviews the biggest names in politics. He recent sat down with president Biden. Vice president calmly, as Elizabeth, worn, katy porter, whose prime whose his fuckin booker is? He lays now adding what the hell can ass jamie ruskin pete booted judge- and I know what I know- I've been again Peter Lily as my fault as ah me, how can I take responsibility for that? Brian boiler two chamber ask on recently anyway enough about us more of our brain tyler, cohen, Hey big names it really and get any bigger than this and we know cause. I come in this week. He'll hear Brien's interview with claim. The white house chief of staff we have had around the globe we've had we have it yeah. They give us RON klain so check out no with bright tyler cohen in seawater. As more than two million subscribers across his social media platforms. And why has videos have been viewed more than a billion times. If you love pod, save america

Then you'll love no lie. It's a political party cuts to the chase and focuses on the issues that you care about and at the destination for our leaders in the house. The senate in the white house helped the progressive media ecosystem grow, support Folks, working to counter the right wing, disinformation, machine and listen subscribed to no lie with right common available anywhere. You mustn't upon us. Joining us. Now is georgia's next secretary of state, when, So great, is you great

see you too, and I have to start off by saying I am so sorry I am not stacy abrahams. I love you to work. I am. I was elected in twenty seventeen, the seat formerly held by cc abraham, so I know what it's like to have to follow through and be right after her, but here's a bun fact. I have immigrant parents, and now they think that you're supposed to be a state law may her and attacks attorney and an author and run for governor himself. thanks, alot stacey, no pressure. It's so great to see you again it's what we see in person. The last time we talked was, you are on the pod in february of two thousand and twenty one, and that was that

that awful time we all knew there was a vaccine, but nobody could get it. You know, and you still trapped in the house is really miserable and we talked about all the republican bills and the georgian state legislature. There were attempting to make it harder to vote. Can you help me? I'm sure these folks know better than most what was actually passed. The listeners at home might not knowing what actually passed in. How can you help prevent voter suppression? If you be, you become georgia's next sectors it to that georgia, general assembly past eight, ninety eight page, oh, that was signed by governor camp. That was supported by the current secretary of state brad reference berger, and there are so many different provisions in that build that do make it harder for georgians to vote, and we ve seen some of those things manifest themselves already. So, first, something that's very relatable. I used to secure dropbox to vote during the twenty and twenty election. Yes, those drop boxes

are no longer available? Twenty four seven they are no longer outside, which was very helpful for people with disabilities. You drive up drop in also helpful for people who have different working hours, where you would have to drop it off late at night, rave there inside they are only available during early voting. They cut off the time period. So, if you are a procrastinator or maybe your ballot came in late, which often happens You can drop off any more the friday that early voting closes so no longer available about saturday, sunday, monday or tuesday. Then we ve got the application to vote by mail and the receiving of the ballot. The time frames have been condense on both ends, so it makes it harder to request an receive one. The rejection rates have gone up and then they made it a crime to hand a bottle of water to voter waiting in line in a state like georgia, whereas recent as twenty twenty black voters waited in line for our success

first, eight hours up to eleven hours, so like lots of little efforts to strip away voter access. Yes, you mentioned your opponent, Brad brad rafts burger. He gets he gets a lot of credit in sort of the mainstream press for rejecting donald trump's request that he just find eleven thousand seven hundred and eighty votes. So just for the record, if Joe Biden were to call you say be. I need you to find me about twelve thousand votes. What would you say I would have not sat on that. Phone call. I would have reported that right away there you go he way And now you're both heroes, the mainstream media. Okay. So now that we dispense with that, what else is like george bush had a memorable line that the soft bigotry of low expectations like? Yes, you didn't help with the coup

That's great! What else should we know about brad round these workers record that has sort of gun wiped away by the other party? Yes, do you know stacy apron said it s right, not committing treason doesn't make you a hero. but here's some other things that you should know about: brad ravensburger, he is an extremely conservative republican. He served in the general assembly. He has a record to back that up. He is staunchly anti choice. He introduced legislation to urge the body to consider life beginning at the moment of conception he's in a rating from there our aim, blue and he doesn't actually not believe that every eligible georgian should have the right to vote. One of the things that he is currently saying is. He believes that we should in automatic voter registration, which has added millions of georgians to our vote are, and he continues to purge

georgia voters off our roles, he's not a friend to democracy. He is not a friend to women either we don't like him. We don't like him. Someone who did reach out to him is senator lindsey, graham, who is now fighting a subpoena. That would force him to testify about trump's efforts to change the results of the two thousand and twenty election. It's unclear. What's going to happen, I think what questions would you like to hear sen lindsey, graham, or about that phone call or this broader effort. Well I'm glad you asked about that, because I know you were talking earlier about this investigation. That's happening in fulton county and one of the things that's not really talked about is some of the things that happened behind the scenes. So I had to. I had to appear before the grand

hurry and testify. Two days after I want my runoff election, and I think that what I would like to know is who allowed rudy giuliani to come into our legislative body in the first players question. Ok, good question, because you ever let him come in both on the house. In the senate side, they allowed him to use a body that should be held up to very high standards. They allowed him to use it as a guy's as a way to legitimize lies in conspiracy theories, and they did not care when we went to them. I actually went to them and said what is going to happen when we get death threats for speaking, up against his life. They said you're on your own you're on your own and so who let him come into our legislative body which lawmakers decided. They were just

turn their head and looked the other way and allow this guy to come in and subject us to what we experience but also amplified the lies in the conspiracy theories. I think those law makers they should also be held accountable in some form.

I think those and those kinds of questions take on added meaning. Given what we've been seeing with the threats against the f b, I specifically stepping back a little. I mean republican efforts to scare voters into thinking that there is just widespread rampant voter fraud didn't start with donald trump. It has been a years long decades, long, concerted effort to create fear of voter fraud and then use that fear to pass voter suppression laws. Are there lessons from your experience, like fighting this fear mongering in georgia, that the national democratic party can take to more effectively pushback? Well, I think that it is a really hard topic rate, because we want secure and fair elections and we conducted a secure and fair election in this state of georgia. The and what has happened is we have lost the narrative around. What is happening with voting, which is voter fraud, is a very, very rare and in the

you instances it happens, those things are caught and there are cases in which it is very unintentional. So, for example, we had in export coming to our legislature to talk about this idea of moving to a primarily vote by male state, which is the most secure form of voting and. they showed us that statistics that says in these millions of cases, its handfuls where somebody actually voted twice in. Usually it's somebody who's older who has forgotten that they voted for in these things are caught by the system. But what we don't talk about is how many people are disenfranchised, because

of the laws on our books. So the example that I like to give is in twenty twenty. We know that the joint and the postal service they weren't delivering are bills are ballots are prescriptions. There was a massive slowdown in many states pass emergency ruling to say if you are, a ballot, is postmark by election day and receive within seventy two hours. That's what we do with military overseas Bela's in georgia, then your vote counts. So there is a court case that said yes in georgia. Postmark my election day receive within seventy two hours will guess who appeal that ruling brad reference burger. So, as a result, thousands of ballots arrived late and they were not counted. In that happen,

in every single election cycle. In that should not be the case. I mean the other. The other challenge in you know national democrats deal with it. We are we deal with it on the show. I'm sure you do with it is sometimes even talking about voter suppression, laws and voter suppression efforts can risk making people feel demoralized and feeling, like you know what, if they're going to make it this hard. If someone might criminalize us, why even bother? How have you found effective ways to push back on that sort of sentiment, yeah, and I do think it's important that we continue to mobilize and inspire people and remind them exactly why it is so important to vote- and I was thinking about this because it's just been really hard and with all the supreme court decisions and everything that's been going on to sometimes feel very optimistic, and you know you have to have this time,

to absorb how you're feeling you're angry or sadness your concerns about. What's going on in our country, and I I was thinking the other day. I said you know my dad. He always taught us that education was the great equalizer rate and, and I very much believe in making sure we invest in our path. the education system, and that is a way to ensure people have economic opportunity, but voting is also a great equalizer. It is The time in which it doesn't matter who you are how much money you make where you live, the color of your skin when you go to that ballot box, your vote counts, the same way as the rich white man, don't it makes more. Then everybody in a world rate? some of us by mail

there is an equalizer that is real power. One person one vote I mean that is. There is no other thing in the world that gives you the ability to leverage or power in the same way and that's exactly why they want to take it away from us. You mentioned your dad and we you talk really movingly about your father's experience in vietnam is a prisoner of war and then your family's challenges that they faced coming to the united states as refugees. How did that lived experience in growing out of hearing those stories? Inform your approach to public service, so my my dad he was held for three years by his own government. They put him in a jungle in the middle of nowhere. They cut him off from his family and friends for six months and when he was released it either he was subjected to starvation, hard labor. We don't know what else, because he's not really talk about it.

So when he was released, my parents may the difficult decision to flee their country. They left in the middle of the night on a boat and they knew that it was very likely they might drown out, see like the hundreds of thousands of people who have tried to flee their countries in search of a better life, but they knew that it was eminently import in this idea of living freely living in a democracy having these freedoms that we're stripped away from them, including the right to free, assemble, the right to free speech, free press, a free and fair election. The right to criticise your government without being in jail also, and when I was young growing up in augusta georgia, I knew yeah So now I knew

our civil liberties weren't guaranteed. I also watched my parents to heroes in my eyes who you to risk their lives in facilitated and escape. I watched my mother specifically shrink back and make herself smaller and she did so because she spoke english with a heavy accent and people would look past her or through her or just not look at her at all, and I was her translator when I was a little kid and that always left me with this feeling of. I never want anyone to feel the same way that she did. I never want any body to feel the that my parents did or to endure what they endured just to get here for basic civil liberties, and so I dedicated my entire life Maybe you, sir, that whatever I'm doing, it is to empower people

which is why I ended up working and public schools for ten years doing nonprofit work much to my parents. Dismay I work. I did not follow those traditional career path because of them, because they showed me that, in order for me to carry on their legacy, I've gotta dedicate my life to making sure I do everything we can to protect the civil liberties to make things better for the people in our country and to aspire to. Live up to america's greatest ideals: hardware store There are the you ve all these big, closely watched race. Is in georgia. This year there there's your campaign there stacy abrams campaign for governor there's. One s campaign has working together.

Is there like a coordinated field? Evans like an adventurous thing happening, but how does it work? How do you guys? How can we all help out and how do you guys were together to win this thing? So we are working together. We celebrate the diversity and strength of our ticket and, even today, with stacy having obeyed, it was stacy. What do you need? How can I support you in this moment? What is it that I can do to help

you, but we all understand that, in order for us to build a strong georgia in order for us to build a strong country, all of our races are important in critical and stacy spoke about this earlier. We know that we are facing this moment in time where our rights are being attacked and I'm very saddened to think about the generations coming behind us having fewer rights than we do specifically around choice rate and how that is going to impact young people, their ability to finish high school, their ability to finish college. We know, statistically the earlier you get pregnant and have a child, the less likely you are to finish high school to graduate from college you're, stuck in a cycle of poverty

I think about the ways in which we can collectively work together to mitigate the harm that we are going to see in the state of georgia. And that means we are, we will we will see women die. We know that they're already dying actually because our current governor won't expand medicaid and invest in our healthcare system. We have one of the worst mother mortality rates and especially for black women. Over half of our one hundred and fifty nine counties don't have obi g ends, so we need a governor who is going to expand medicaid, who is going to protect women, and we need an attorney general who's going to challenge the constitutionality of that abortion. And which is senator injured and yeah, and then here's what, while also see which is specific to the secretary of state office, we're going to see worker who rely on s who s office for their licences, like nurses, lay social workers get caught up.

This is some thank you, social workers and nurses. What the secretary of state can do in what I would do is choose not to invest the resources to investigate nurses or social workers who are caught up in this harmful law, and we know that brad reference burger. He is not going to stand up for our workers, so we're all in this together, because we know what's on the line for georgians for some georgians, it will be a life or Situation, so seems like the clear take away as we need to win all these elections when all down the democracies are all of these elections be went. Thank you so much for coming on religion.

Thank you so do you guys in the audience to people listening back home, want to get involved with any of the key races in georgia? or anywhere on the midterms come on out? Go to your vote?

So now that we had a high water mark and twenty twenty seven million people voted the margin of difference between the successful president biting kid and the loser former president trumps campaign. Why, point zero zero. One. Five percentage points just over twelve thousand votes, which you need to know is that that georgia, so they have what to call pivot counties.

The counties that were long long, long, historically republican counties and then in sixteen. They voted for Clinton and in twenty they voted for Biden and then they have reward or call reverse pivot counties right. So these are historically again republican counties. Republican counties that voted for cool Clinton is sixteen and violence. When you forgive me, the the point is that there are only six of those counties in the entire country and three of them are in georgia. One of them is car. County, The other is gwinnett county. Has anybody from gwinnett county here and the last one is Henry county? Okay. What I also know is that the people that we elect in the next eighty eight days, particularly the ones that we send to the united states congress, are going to be the ones that certify the two thousand and twenty four presidential elections right

and so, if you're, we cannot send january six insurrectionists, we can send election deniers. We need us secretary of state, that's going to count every votes we The governor, that's gonna, take georgia's priority serious right. We need a governor who knows that they are the only governor in the entire united states who lives and works within five miles of this. Did you see? I will not lie to us about what we are now in the middle of a pandemic. Write me myself personally, new georgia project is a non partisan organization. You hear that Branca right and aggressively. So right now and say we ve got is not as they move has not given up her first amendment rights and say you find is a proud american. A proud, naturally lies american, and not only do I but

in my right to vote. I believe in my right to free speech. I believe that stacey abrams is the best candidate that we've ever had forgotten of the united states. What I also know is that we currently have a rogue supreme court right that when I started law school and blah mind your business right bush vs gore was one of the first big law cases lawsuits that we studied right and, were you remember, pregnant nipples hanging, chads, Katherine Harris, JEB bush looking out for his brother? All of that right. So then, imagine this supreme court, this rogue supreme court that overturned roe, vs wade right that is seeking to dismantle decades of precedent right just one, the liberals and make people cry right that they would be the ones to determine if

If we have a contested election, they will be the ones that determine the outcome of the twenty twenty four presidential election, and we cannot have that right. I know that brad rafters burger did that one thing that one time y'all are really happy about it right. What we need right now is a secretary of state that would rather, lake fall off of a tree would rather die, then abandoned their responsibility than abandon their obligation to make sure that we have free and fair elections in the great state of georgia and again, the Saturday night. You have a lovely panel here, I'm going to let y'all go, but I can't wait to see you all in the streets, new georgia project, dot org. We absolutely need each and every one of you to get super annoying for the next. Eighty. Eight

it's right. It's super annoying the because that is what is going to take that we have to do everything that we can to make sure that the will of the people is reflected in the results of our elections. Brown wrappers burger is going to help us do that. The only thing that can help us do that we have over whelming participation, I'm talking about every precinct, every county, every election. It must happen. That is how we hold the line on this great country that we love

have this great state that we love and the future america that we're building the one that works for all of us jaga night? That, though, the I like that that's great you'll play game.

again, will you have a senator who fights for you or senator who fights women and ghosts. We do you have a governor who have stood. Dragging democracy or a governor who refuses to expand. medicated these women are like big talking scars that embryos where to keep warm.
