an example, and a little racial, a little bit history of its pain in this promise to the brutality and the possibility. but because this is america, because we always have a path to make our country greater again, against unspeakable odds. here we stand together. thank you, ga, ga, excuses, and right now i'm not going to make an excuse is now because we put one heck of a fight. i got to do because this is much bigger. this is a, i was the one this day. i say you guys are down a lot of stuff. you talk about heisman trophy, talk about the athletic or business award on. but the best thing i've ever done to
8:03 am
my whole entire life is run for the senate seat right here. 2 2 lar wessel is a professor of political science at georgia southern university. she says, the tight senate race prompted more people to vote in the run off turn. now in the selection was significantly higher than most mid term elections. and in particular with the runa between walker, i did turn out that approximately 77000 people turned out to vote in the runoff election, who had not voted in the general election, which suggests significant interest. notably, a former president, trump did not come to campaign for a walker in the past few weeks. and it's possible that that's due to the controversy surrounding the former president. it's a big moment for the state of georgia. and in addition, it's a big moment for the united states. we've had an election that was this close and
8:04 am
i think the division in the results exemplifies the division that currently exists in the united states. a former u. s. president donald trump's company has been found guilty of tax for wood in new york. it asked the merit of legal ways, facing trump, as he campaigns for office. again, my can i smoke from washington? it has a major financial implication for the trump organization. these crimes of tax evasion went on for some 15 years. and although the fine itself may not be that substantial, that will be divided. i decided by the judge in january, he'll announce exactly what the fine is, but the economic impact on the organization will be substantial. obviously, it's going to reflect his relationship with banks with other lenders, with other companies in terms of its ongoing attempts to do business. this, a good judgment is likely to reflect very negatively on the comp organisation as
8:05 am
a whole. but for donald trump himself, it's just adding to his long list of legal woes. one must remember that there's a separate case pending against donald trump and his organization wrote by the new york attorney general that is pending. and even more seriously is the investigation being conducted by the department of justice into 2 elements. one is donald trump's taking documents from the white house to his mar logo estate, and how serious was the misuse as its put of classified documents? the other issue that the the justice department is investigating is trump's attempts to overthrow the 90 a 2020 election. so this is now just another in the long list of legal problems facing donald trump. claire finkelstein is from the university of pennsylvania law school. she says trumps legal problems may see him fail to be selected as the
8:06 am
republicans 2024 presidential candidate. these are a 17 counts of basically a tax fraud and tax evasion. and what the company was doing was giving extensive benefits to its top employees as a way of helping the company with regard to its tax bill by declaring business expenses for these employee benefits. and at the same time, not taxing those individual so that they were getting to wish and paid tax free and so on by the from organization. what's also very serious here is that this conviction comes as part of a collusion between the top executives like alan weisel berg are and the trump organization. and so immediately the question is,
8:07 am
what other top executives in the organization? for example, donald trump were in on the scheme and could also be held criminally responsible. it does seem as though a lot of his fellow republicans are fleeing from donald trump and are looking for alternatives to sort of recess 8. the g o p, the trump back candidates did rather poorly in the mid terms. and so we see a lot of g o p higher up saying look, you know, we need to back off this candidate. we are possibly not going to back him though. of course, if he did turn out to be the selection for the republican party, presumably it would be party over principal once again and they would vote for time for an update of all the irish that cut out 2022. well, count ferris mal is in our studio morocco made world cab history,
