>> I HAVE STOOD BY THE PRESIDENT
100 PERCENT OF THE TIME.
PART-TIME PROUD TO DO.
THIS I SAID ABSOLUTELY WE NEED
TO GET RELIEF TO AMERICANS NOW.
I WILL SUPPORT THAT.
>> I’M DELIGHTED TO SUPPORT THE
PRESIDENT IN $1,400 INCREMENT
OVER WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY DONE.
JILLIAN: GEORGIA SENATE
CANDIDATES BOTH THROWING SUPPORT
BEHIND THE PUSH FOR $2,000
STIMULUS CHECKS.
TODD: MITCH McCONNELL JUST
BLOCKED A FAST TRACK VOTE TO
SEND AMERICA MORE MONEY.
HOW WILL THIS IMPACT NEXT WEEK’S
RACES WE WILL ASK JOEY JEPS.
GREAT TO SEE YOU.
HAPPY NEW YEAR.
WILL THE OUTCOME OF THE STIMULUS
BACK AND FORTH, BACK AND FORTH
IMPACT THE WAY GEORGIANS VOTE
NEXT WEEK.
>> YOU KNOW, I DON’T THINK THEY
CAN WIN VOTES BY VOTING FOR THIS
$2,000.
I DON’T THINK THAT MOST
CONSERVATIVES SEE IT AS A HAVE
BEEN TO.
THEY JUST SEE IT AS A NECESSITY.
I THINK MORE THAN ANYTHING THEY
HAVE EXPOSED THEMSELVES TO
ATTACKS BY NOT AUTOMATICALLY
SUPPORTING IT.
SO I THINK BOTH SENATOR LOEFFLER
AND PERDUE SAYING THEY WILL
SUPPORT HIM AND SUPPORT THE
PRESIDENT ADHERING HIMSELF TO
THE PRESIDENT AND TO THE VOTERS
HERE IN GEORGIA IS PROBABLY THE
SAFEST PLAY.
THIS WHOLE FIGHT HAS PUT A LOT
OF REPUBLICANS IN A ROCK AND
HARD PLACE NONE AS MUCH AS THE
TWO SENATORS RUNNING FOR
RE-ELECTION RIGHT NOW.
JILLIAN: JOEY ABOUT 2.3 MILLION
PEOPLE HAVE CAST THEIR VOTE IN
GEORGIA.
WHO DOES THAT FAVOR?
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT VOTING EARLY
LIVER IN NOVEMBER’S ELECTION
THAT FAVORED THE DEMOCRATS.
REPUBLICANS WERE HOPING THAT,
YOU KNOW, IN PERSON VOTERS WERE
GOINGGOING TO TURN OUT ON ELECTI
DAY.
WHAT IS YOUR SENSE OF WHAT IS
HAPPENING IN GEORGIA AS FAR AS
EARLY VOTING AND THEN WHAT WILL
HAPPEN NEXT WEEK?
>> YOU KNOW, IT’S REALLY
DIFFICULT FOR ME.
I HAVE TO BE COMPLETELY HONEST.
I DIDN’T THINK JOE BIDEN COULD
WIN GEORGIA.
I KNOW THERE IS A LOT OF
ALLEGATIONS OF ELECTION FRAUD
AND CERTAINLY SOME THINGS THAT
DON’T MAKE A LOT OF SENSE.
I ALSO KNOW STACEY ABRAMS SIGNED
UP AND REGISTERED AND GOT TO
VOTE HUNDREDS OF NEW VOTER IN
GEORGIA.
I DON’T THINK THERE IS ANY
EFFORT COMPARABLE ON THE G.O.P.
SIDE.
SO PERHAPS THAT’S JUST THE WAY
THINGS ARE.
I DON’T THINK MORE GEORGIANS
SUPPORT DEMOCRAT POLICIES BUT
PERHAPS MORE DEMOCRATS SHOWED UP TO VOTE.
TO VOTE.
RUN OFF WHERE TAMP TAMP INSENS T
TO SHOW UP AGAINST HIM.
I DON’T THINK PEOPLE WERE
EXCITED TO VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN.
I’M NOT HAPPY WITH ANY OF THESE
FOUR CANDIDATES TO BE HONEST
WITH YOU.
IT FEELS I SAID THE OTHER AT A
GEORGIANS WANT TO CHOOSE BETWEEN
IT IF CHICK FILLET AND SAXBYS
PERHAPS WE ARE GETTING
McDONALD’S AND RUTH CHRIS.
BUCK HEAD OF ATLANTA VS.
DOWNTOWN ATLANTA.
IT DOESN’T FEEL LIKE THE REST OF
THIS BEAUTIFUL UNIQUE STATE FROM
THE APPALACHIAN TO THE COAST IS
REALLY BEING REPRESENTED AT ALL.
OBVIOUSLY I WANTED DOUG COLLINS
TO GET THIS OPPORTUNITY.
HE IS NOT THERE.
I’M NOT SURE THAT WE HAVE
CANDIDATES THIS CYCLE THAT ARE
EXCITING FOR GEORGIAENS.
JILLIAN: TO BE FAIR, REPUBLICANS
NEED THIS.
IF THEY LOSE OUT ON THESE TWO
SEATS THEN THE DEMOCRATS CONTROL
A WHOLE HECK OF A LOT.
>> WELL, THAT’S FAIR BUT IT JUST
MAY NOT BE RELATES.
I DON’T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE
SITTING HERE EXCITED TO VOTE FOR
THE TWO G.O.P. CANDIDATES AND
LIKEWISE, YOU KNOW, I THINK JON
OSSOFF IS ABOUT EXCITING AS
STALE BREAD.
I DON’T KNOW HOW HE EVER WINS AN
ELECTION TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.
VOTER TURNOUT IS GOING TO BE
HIGH BECAUSE THE ENTIRE COUNTRY
IS LOOKING AT GEORGIA.
BUT I CAN TELL YOU MOST
GEORGIANS ARE EXCITED TO GET
THIS OVER WITH AND GET ALL THIS
WHAT WE CONSIDER FOREPERSON
INTERFERENCE OUT OF OUR STATE.
WE ARE TIRED OF THE CHATTER
MONEY AND PEOPLE AND READY TO BE
GEORGIA AGAIN.
ARE.
TODD: BRUTALLY HONEST
PERSPECTIVE.
THERE IS A ELLE ARE AING CRY
THAT GEORGIA IS REALLY THE LAST
LINE OF DEFENSE AGAINST THIS
DEMOCRAT SOCIALISM, THIS RADICAL
SOCIALIST AGENDA.
AS SOMEBODY WHO LOST HIS LEGS
FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY.
QUITE FRANKLY FIGHTING FOR OUR
CAPITALIST WAY OF LIFE.
WHAT MESSAGE DO YOU HAVE FOR
YOUR FELL WILL HE GEORGIANS?
>> WELL, I APPRECIATE THAT
DISTINCTION.
IF THIS COUNTRY CHOSE A
SOCIALIST PATH WE WOULD DO IT
THROUGH A DEMOCRATIC MANNER AND
BE FORCED TO FIGURE THAT OUT.
I DON’T THINK THAT’S WHAT MOST
AMERICANS WANT.
I FOUGHT FOR FREEDOM OF THIS
COUNTRY FREEDOM TO CHOOSE AND
SELF-DETERMINATION.
CAPITALISM FAVORS THAT BY AND
LARGE TREMENDOUSLY.
CAPITALISM IS THERE IS A LADDER
TOP RUNG AND BOTTOM RUNG.
HARD WORK ATLANTIC AND
OPPORTUNITY DECIDE WHERE YOU
ARE.
THAT’S AS AMERICAN AS APPLE PIE.
THAT’S WHAT WE FOUGHT FOR AND I
THINK WHAT THIS COUNTRY STILL
WANT.
LOOK AT ALL THE SMALL BUSINESS
OWNERS THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
LIBERAL OR PROGRESSIVE AND
STARTING TO PUT THOSE IDEAS
ASIDE AND SAY WAIT, JUST A
MINUTE HOW COULD THE GOVERNMENT
SHUT MY BUSINESS DOWN AND TAKE
FOOD OFF THE TABLE.
I THINK IT’S OPENED A LOT OF
EYES.
I DON’T THINK I DON’T KNOW IF
IT’S PUSHED BACK AGAINST THE
MOST DEMOCRATIC WING OF THE
PARTY.
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS BEEN ON TO
SOMETHING AND G.O.P. PICKS THAT
MAN TELL UP.
I HOPE GEORGIA IS A
REPRESENTATION OF THAT.
JILLIAN: STRONG WORDS THERE JOEY
JONES, WILL HAPPY NEW YEAR.
