LOTS TO UNPACK HERE, NOBODY
BETTER TO EXPLAIN IT ALL, MY
NEXT YES, FOX NEWS SHE’S
POLITICAL ANCHOR AND HOST OF
SPECIAL REPORT, BRETT BAIER.
WELCOME BACK TO THE SHOW.
>> HEY, KENNEDY.
KENNEDY: LET’S START WITH THE
GOVERNOR’S RACE, DONALD TRUMP, A
VERY PERSONAL ONE FOR HIM.
HE WENT AFTER GOVERNOR CAP FOR
QUITE SOME TIME, NOT SURPRISED
HE DIDN’T ENDORSE CAMP BUT DAVID
PURDUE?
WHAT IS THAT GOING TO DO FOR THE
TRUMP MAGIC TOUCH IF IT FAILS?
>> ONE OF THE RACES WERE HE’S
UPSIDE DOWN HEADING IN, WE DON’T
KNOW, THE ONLY POLL THAT MATTERS
IS ELECTION DAY, WE ALWAYS SAY
THAT BUT IT’S AN INTERESTING
ENDORSEMENT SPLIT IN AT
PRESIDENT TRUMP ENDORSED DAVID
PURDUE, RECRUITED HIM FOR THIS
RACE AND VICE PRESIDENT PENCE ENDORSED BRIAN KEMP SO YOU HAVE
ENDORSED BRIAN KEMP SO YOU HAVE
TRUMP HEADS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE
RACE.
HEADING IN, KEMP IS
OVERWHELMING, PULL HAD ABOUT 30
POINTS BUT IT DEPENDS ON WHAT
HAPPENS ELECTION DAY.
IF HE WINS, HE FACES A REMATCH
AGAINST STACEY ABRAMS AND
ALREADY MENTIONED WHICH IS
GETTING CRITICISM TALKING ABOUT
HER STATE.
WHEN YOU SAY IT’S THE WORST
STATE TO LIVE IN, IT’S NOT THE
OPTIMISTIC RONALD REAGAN CITY ON
A HILL KIND OF PITCH ON THE BACK
OF THE BUMPER STICKER SO SHE WILL HAVE TO BATTLE THE ARE AND
WILL HAVE TO BATTLE THE ARE AND
SEE, KEMP ADDS PROBABLY SOON.
KENNEDY: ABSOLUTELY.
DO REPUBLICAN’S HAVE THE SAME
KIND OF ADVANTAGE IN GEORGIA
THEY DO ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN
TERMS OF ENTHUSIASM? WHO’S LOOKING TO BE THE FAVORITE
WHO’S LOOKING TO BE THE FAVORITE
AS OF NOW IN THE FALL ELECTION?
>> THERE IS ENTHUSIASM, A LOT IN
GEORGIA, HERSCHEL WALKER IS
EXPECTED TO CRUISE THROUGH THE
PRIMARY PROCESS AND BECOME THE SENATE NOMINEE AGAINST RAFAEL
SENATE NOMINEE AGAINST RAFAEL
WARNOCK.
FOR ALL THE TALK ABOUT THAT
VOTING LAW AND STATE LEGISLATURE
PASSING THE VOTING LAW IN MAJOR
LEAGUE BASEBALL MOVING ALL-STAR
GAME OUT OF ATLANTIC CROSSING
THE COUNTY ABOUT $100 MILLION
FOR ALL OF THAT, STACY ABRAMS
WEIGHING IN ON THAT THROUGH IF
YOU REMEMBER THAT.
EARLY VOTING IS ASTRONOMICAL,
RECORD TURNOUT.
WITH THE NEW LAW IN PLACE IN ALL
KINDS OF COMMUNITIES, BLACK,
WHITE, HISPANIC, EVERYBODY IS UP
UP.
THE VOTING IS NOT FINISHED, THEY
HAVE TOMORROW’S VOTING DURING
THE DAY SO I’D BE INTERESTED TO
SEE WHAT MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL
SAYS, THEY HAD TO GO BACK IN THE
BRAVES MADE THE WORLD SERIES.
KENNEDY: DO YOU KNOW WHAT I SAY
TO THAT?
HA HA.
STACY ABRAMS CAMPAIGN MANAGER
SAYS NO CORRELATION BETWEEN
VOTER SUPPRESSION AND VOTER
TURNOUT BUT I THINK A LOT OF
PEOPLE WOULD TAKE TO DIFFER WITH
THAT STATEMENT BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE RECORD TURNOUT IN THE CROSS
HAVE RECORD TURNOUT IN THE CROSS
PARTY AND EVERY SOCIOECONOMIC
DEMOGRAPHIC, I THINK IS A GOOD
CASE TO BE MADE THAT THIS IS THE
OPPOSITE OF VOTER SUPPRESSION.
>> JIM CROW 2.0?
USING THAT PHRASE SUGGESTS A
MANIPULATED EFFORT TO DRIVE DOWN
AFRICAN-AMERICAN VOTES OR BLACK
COMMUNITIES COMING OUT.
IF YOU LOOK AT WHERE THE TURNOUT
IS COMING, IT’S ACROSS THE BOARD
IN GEORGIA ALREADY.
THEY EXPECT EVEN MORE.
THIS IS MORE THAN THE
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION TURNOUT IF
YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT A LAW
DESIGNED TO DRIVE VOTERS DOWN IN
SOME KIND OF COMMUNITY, HE WOULD
NOT SEE THESE NUMBERS ACROSS THE
BOARD RIGHT PRIMARY ELECTION.
KENNEDY: NO, PEOPLE ARE ENGAGED
AND THEY WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT AND VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE AN
AND VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE AN
ISSUE OF CHOICE.
I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT MARJORIE
TAYLOR GREEN, IS SHE GOING TO
GET MADISON CAWTHORNE?
>> IT’S POSSIBLE.
IT’S TOUGH IN THESE RACES
BECAUSE THE POLLING IS SO SLIM,
NOT A LOT OF POLLS SPECIFICALLY
TARGET.
SHE’S BEEN VERY CONTROVERSIAL,
DRAWN A LOT OF CRITICISM FROM
ALL CORNERS, EVEN ON THE RIGHT
BUT SHE HAS STRONG FUNDRAISING,
ENDORSEMENT OF PRESIDENT TRUMP,
IN A DISTRICT THAT IS VERY TRUMP
SO WE DON’T KNOW UNTIL TOMORROW,
WE DIDN’T THINK MADISON
CAWTHORNE WOULD BE UPSET AND HE
WAS.
KENNEDY: THE POLLING WENT
OPPOSITE FOR HIM AT THE LAST
