BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE SOUTH.
BIG HOUR.
BRET BAIER AND ANDY McCARTHY
STANDING BY.
FIRST TO BRIAN KEMP.
GOOD AFTERNOON TO YOU.
I WANT TO GET A SENSE OF THE TWO
RACES.
HOW TIGHT ARE THEY, GOVERNOR?
>> GOOD AFTERNOON, BILL.
I’M SORRY.
WHAT DID YOU SAY?
>> Bill: HOW TIGHT ARE THESE TWO
RACES, SIR?
>> WELL, I DON’T THINK YOU CAN
BELIEVE ANY POLLING AT THIS
POINT.
WHAT I’VE BEEN TELLING EVERYBODY
IS DON’T GET DISTRACTED, DON’T
BELIEVE WHAT IS IN THE MEDIA,
DON’T BELIEVE THE POLLING.
THE ONLY THING YOU NEED TO
BELIEVE IS GOING OUT TO VOTE.
TALKING ABOUT THE REPUBLICAN
TURNOUT TOMORROW.
I DON’T THINK THERE’S ANY DOUBT
THE REPUBLICANS GOT TO HAVE A
HUGE TURNOUT ON ELECTION DAY TO
WIN THESE TWO RACES.
DAVID PURDUE AND KELLY LOEFFLER
HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB
REPRESENTING OUR STATE, THE
UNITED STATES SENATE.
LOOK, BILL, WE’RE THE FIRE WALL
TO STOP SOCIALISM, TO KEEP FROM
HANDING THE KEYS OF POWER OVER
TO PELOSI, SCHUMER AND AOC AND
BERNIE SANDERS.
TOMORROW QUITE HONESTLY IS GOING
TO SET THE COURSE FOR THE FUTURE
OF OUR COUNTRY.
IN MANY WAYS, HOPEFULLY SAVE
THIS GREAT REPUBLIC, THIS GREAT
CAPITALIST ECONOMY THAT WE HAVE
AND A LOT OF THE GREAT THINGS
GOING ON OVER THE LAST FOUR
YEARS.
I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
WE’RE WORKING HARD TILL THE END.
>> Bill: OKAY, SIR.
ON THAT NOTE THEN, THE STORY OF
THE DAY IS THIS LEAKED AUDIO.
I KNOW WHAT YOU TOLD MY
COLLEAGUES LAST NIGHT ABOUT IT,
THAT IT’S A DISTRACTION.
I GRANT YOU THAT.
HOW MUCH OF A DISTRACTION,
GOVERNOR?
>> I’M NOT GOING TO FALL INTO
THE TRAP OF THIS IS A BIG
DISTRACTION.
IT’S NOT.
PEOPLE DON’T NEED TO PAY
ATTENTION TO IT.
NOTHING ELSE MATTERS THE NEXT 24
HOURS.
PEOPLE NEED TO DO WHAT THE
PRESIDENT AND WHAT MYSELF AND A
LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WANT PEOPLE
TO DO, AND THAT IS TO GET OUT
AND VOTE FOR DAVID PURDUE AND
KELLY LOEFFLER.
ONE THING IN POLITICS, BEING ON
THE BALLOT, BEING A GOVERNOR,
GOVERNORING, A FORMER SECRETARY
OF STATE, A LOT OF TIMES YOU
HAVE TO TUNE THESE ISSUES OUT.
STAY FOCUSED ON THE THINGS THAT
YOU CAN CONTROL.
THAT IS WHAT KELLY AND DAVID ARE
DOING.
THEY’RE OUT THERE STUMPING HARD,
ALL OF US ARE HERE IN GEORGIA,
ASKING GEORGIANS TO TURN OUT,
ESPECIALLY REPUBLICANS AND
PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE THAT DON’T
WANT TO SEE AND AGENDA OF THE
RADICAL LEFT MOVE OUR COUNTRY TO
THE LEFT.
THIS WILL DECIDE THE BALANCE OF
POWER, COMPLETE POWER IN THE
UNITED STATES.
I BELIEVE THAT GEORGIANS WILL
STAND UP TOMORROW AND HAVE A
HUGE TURNOUT AND SEND DAVID AND
KELLY BACK TO THE U.S. SENATE.
>> Bill: JUST GOT MY TWO-MINUTE
WARNING.
THE SECRETARY OF STATE WILL COME
OUT IN A MOMENT.
YOU MENTIONED YOU’RE A FORMER
SECRETARY OF STATE.
I KNOW YOU CROSSED WORDS WITH
BRAD RATHLISBURGER.
YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN ONLY DO SO
MUCH TO COUNTER WHAT HAS
HAPPENED THE PAST TWO MONTHS AND
STAND UP TO WHAT THE PRESIDENT
SAYS IS AN UNFAIR VOTE.
AS GOVERNOR, YOU COULD CALL FOR
A SPECIAL ASSEMBLY.
YOU HAVE NOT DONE THAT.
HOW COME?
>> THAT INFORMATION IS NOT
CORRECT.
WE HAVE A CONSTITUTION AND LAWS
IN THIS STATE THAT I AND THE
SECRETARY OF STATE HAVE TO
FOLLOW.
THAT IS WHAT’S BEEN DOING.
A SPECIAL SESSION AT THIS POINT
IS IRRELEVANT.
OUR NORMAL SESSION STARTS A WEEK
FROM TODAY.
THE IDEA OF HAVING A SPECIAL
NOW -- THIS HORSE HAS LEFT THE
BARN HERE.
THE ELECTORS HAVE VOTED IN
GEORGIA.
THEY’RE ON THEIR WAY TO D.C.
THAT VOTE HAPPENS WEDNESDAY.
TO ME, ALL OF THAT IS A
DISTRACTION.
WE NEED TO FOCUS ON TOMORROW.
THAT IS ELECTION DAY, TURNING
OUT THE VOTE FOR KELLY AND
DAVID.
IT HAS BEEN FRUSTRATING FOR ME
BECAUSE THE CONSTITUTIONAL
AUTHORITY LIES WITH THE
SECRETARY OF STATE.
I ASKED FOR AN AUDIT WELL OVER A
MONTH AGO, THREE DIFFERENT
TIMES.
I FELT LIKE IT WOULD GIVE
CONFIDENCE.
THAT WAS FINALLY DONE.
I WISH IT HAD BEEN DONE SOONER.
A LOT OF THE THINGS PEOPLE ARE
ASKING ME TO DO I DON’T HAVE THE
CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY OR THE
LEGAL AUTHORITY TO DO THAT.
THE GOOD THING IS, WITH THE EYES
ON THIS ELECTION, I KNOW THE
PURDUE AND LOEFFLER CAMPAIGNS
HAVE 8,000 POLL WATCHERS READY
TO GO TO WORK TOMORROW.
PEOPLE CAN HAVE CONFIDENCE IN
THE PROCESS.
THEY NEED TO VOTE AND NEED TO
VOTE FOR KELLY AND DAVID.
>> Bill: IF YOU CAN STICK AROUND
