Since I last saw you,
Georgia's highest court has
reinstated a ban on abortion.
After six weeks, it basically put
on hold a decision by a lower
court that overturned that 2019
law that you signed into law.
If the appeals court comes
back and overturns the law,
what will you do?
Well, we're going to keep
fighting the legal process.
I mean, we knew three years ago
when we passed this bill that it
was going to take a long time
to be to get it through the
courts and to get it implemented.
And we knew there would be
a lot of people fighting.
But that's the path that we've
taken and that's what we'll do.
And so we're just going to wait
and see what the court does and
and you know then we'll reassess.
I believe that they'll uphold
our law and it'll be implemented.
Let me get your reaction to something
that former President Trump has been under
fire for in recent days which is having
dinner with Nick Fuentes this outspoken
white supremacist and anti Semite. I
I just put a statement out there.
I'll, I'll let that
statement speak for itself.
I mean that was a bad decision.
There's no place for that
in the Republican Party.
I know he's got, you know,
his answer to that question
and I'll let him speak to that.
But my views on that are are very clear.
He has defended it saying he was a
guest of Kanye West, who was his guest.
But he hasn't criticized for an advance,
denounced the statements that we've seen
this hateful language from Nick Fuentes.
Not Privy to who said what and all of that.
I'll just let my statement speak
for itself. It's very clear.
In recent days you have filed paperwork
to create a federal pack of your own.
It makes people wonder if you've got some
of your own future national ambitions.
What would you tell them?
I would tell them that we're working
hard to get herself elected.
Hershel Walker elected to
the United States Senate.
And that's what people in
Georgia need to stay focused on.
We cannot get distracted with other things.
And so that packs designed to do.
That but also to help federal
candidates in the future in our state,
I mean what we built with our ground
game and the Georgians First Committee
was very effective at the state level.
And we want to have that same
tool available to help some of
our friends that may be serving
in Congress or perhaps, you know,
other nominees or other folks in the future.
And so we thought it was wise to do
that to capitalize off of really a
great effort that we put together
and to continue to build off.
That keep our state in good hands
and and have people in Washington,
DC that are voting Georgia values.
Could that be to help other
people who are running?
For the Republican nomination
for president, potentially,
well, that's what not,
that's not what the focus is.
You know, you do not need,
you need to worry about the next Tuesday.
That's what I'm worried about,
staying focused on getting
herself over the goal line
next Tuesday is obviously
what everyone's eyes are on.
But you did see the former
president announced that he
will be running in 2024,
which you said. I did see that.
Would you support him in that run?
Well, I hadn't seen who else is gonna run,
so I'm gonna keep focused on getting
her so elected to United States Senate.
Would you like to see? We we
do not, we do not need to
get distracted from that.
Would you like to see a robust
Republican presidential primary field?
Well, listen, I haven't
thought too much about that.
You know, after what I've been through
the last 3 1/2 years and in this
election beating a very strong candidate
in the primary and a very strong
candidate in the general election.
I was a focused on obviously helping herself,
but also having a normal
Thanksgiving for the first time in
years and focused on Christmas.
And we're trying to put our budget
together and get ready for our
legislative session here in Georgia.
That's what I got elected to
do and that's my commitment to
the people of this state.
And that's what I'm focused
on. And if Herschel Walker wins on Tuesday,
what is the difference mean to you?
And having that 50 versus 51 Senate
Ohh, I think you know having that
divided Senate is absolutely huge,
not only for right now,
but it's going to be huge two years from now.
But it also be huge just having
a conservative voice from Georgia
in the United States Senate that's
fighting for us and for fighting
for what we need versus what
Joe Biden is wanting them to do.
And to me that's what this race is all about.
Alright, we'll leave it there.
Thank you for your time. Thank you.
