they have since come off of there. big sell-off for the dow. >> trace: we should note that david pretty was going to be at the rally tonight, but he will be around much. see you again tomorrow. >> sandra: you too. "outnumbered" starts now. >> harris: fox news alert now. vice president mike pence is on the ground in georgia where he has had to rally voters that is our ahead of tomorrow's all-important senate runoff race, as you know. they will determine if republicans can maintain their senate majority and the check on the biden administration or the democrats will have a much easier time passing their most radical policy items. with so much riding on the outcome, the vice president is not the only big name we will see in georgia today. president trump and president-elect joe biden holding dueling rallies tonight in a final push to turn out voters. the candidates have shattered
9:01 am
fund-raising records, well more than 3 million people already have cast their ballots in early voting. senator kelly loeffler says the stinks could not be higher. >> the democrats want to bring socialism to our country. they have been very clear. they want high taxes put on georgians to fund a big government, socialized health care, open borders. we have to hold the line here in georgia. >> harris: you're watching "outnumbered." i'm harris faulkner. today, dagen mcdowell, fox business correspondent. kennedy, a host of "kennedy." "kennedy." martha maccallum, host of "the story with martha maccallum." she joins us today atlanta, georgia. karl rove, fox news contributor appeared before we get started, i want to personally thank all of you. kennedy, your words on the shelf after my father had passed last week. my whole family side. you know how it is in texas.
9:02 am
everything is bigger. thank you very much. dagen, your sweet email. i just wanted to say that off of the top because i might cry. i'm very grateful. god has blessed me with all of you in my life. let's start in atlanta, georgia, where i was born. karl, the world is going to georgia. how will that make a difference? >> karl: well, it will rally the troops on each side and give them a final message that will either bring people to the polls are not. a lot riding on the outcome. so, what each person says, whether it is vice president pence, president trump, what they say, their moment in the sun, so to speak, is going to be vital in getting people to the polls tomorrow or not. >> harris: you know, martha, there's been a lot of talk about with the president interjecting with his tweets and so on and so forth, would that be helpful, or
9:03 am
would that be hurtful for turn out? i guess were about to find out, but you're on the ground. what are people saying? >> martha: you know, harris, i went and talked to some voters outside of the diner in atlanta and got a really interesting cross-section of what they're thinking. there is clearly a threat among conservative voters that they do not buy the outcome of the presidential election. and separate from the fact that when it comes to court cases and recounts an element, we all know the numbers on the data that we have seen played out there. the sentiment is very strong, but when i ask them do you believe that people will still turn out, they said yes. they felt strongly that that would happen and that there would be a surge of voting on election day. but you know, it remains to be seen here joe biden got more than 11,000 plus votes over president trump i in the georgia november election, according to the numbers. and maybe there is a chef
9:04 am
happening in georgia, so it's going to be very interesting to read the tea leaves, to be sure, harris. >> harris: you know, kennedy, a lot has happened in georgia just in the last 24-48 hours. >> kennedy: yeah, and he's going to rally tonight, and we will see if he addresses some of those statements. some of what has gone on. i know we are going to talk about that phone call between the president and secretary of state of georgia, but this is the most critical moment of his postelection that we will see because what he does not only determines the balance of the senate and the ideological balance of the country in terms of policy, but also this is his last chance to secure his legacy by doing what senator loeffler just said, which is holding the line. and he has a very fine line to
9:05 am
walk in terms of making a case for voter irregularities during the presidential election, but also at the same time, saying you have to put all that behind you. you have to put trust in the system that is in place here. that means you have to come out, bring your friends, and vote for these republican senators. >> harris: dagen, what does it tell you that 3 million people have already voted, and people trusting the outcome of the selection? so much being talked about, not trusting the election process. >> dagen: they care about what happens in their state, and i think everybody had to be careful. you were born in georgia, but people from the noisiest, typical georgians, how they need to vote -- that goes for any southern state, quite frankly. what's interesting is you won't know until we see the voter analysis that comes up tomorrow.
9:06 am
our georgia voters going out and voting, based on a national agenda? because they know if you don't have a divided government, and the majority of georgia voters do you favor divided government. i they voting to ensure that the trump legacy stays in place? and karl rove talked about this. i heard you this morning. they only need a simple majority to repeal the trump tax cut, and through the congressional review act, to basically upend his agenda of deregulation, so the thing that gave rise to people, rank and file wages were at the fastest pace in a decade, growing faster. the income gap was actually shrinking. people didn't even have high school education. their wages were growing faster than other groups of workers. but the democrats, if they take the senate, they did easily
9:07 am
upend that and dismantle trump legacy really quickly. it remains to be seen whether they have kind of linked elbows, but based on what he has said, his campaign would have been a nonstarter just a few years ago because of his radicalism. that is not the case now. georgia, at the very least, it's purple, if not blue. >> harris: that's a really interesting point, karl because the peach state has changed so much. what we are seeing across the country, more of a blurring of the lines, and when i talk to voters, they tell me that's because they see more promises than an action from those politicians, and they don't see it so differently anymore. what's your take? >> karl: i think georgia is changing demographically. a lot of migration. african-american voters from the anterior south moving to
9:08 am
atlanta. a lot of people from the northeast. much younger state. but i would say this. let's keep it in perspective. on election day in november, yes, donald trump, 12,000 -- i guess it was 11,739 votes less than joe biden, but on the other hand, david perdue got 88,000 votes more than jon ossoff, and the combined republican vote in the 21 person primary for the other senate seat, roughly 50,000 more republican votes than their whereabouts were democrats candidates, so the republicans kept their local offices. kept their congressional seats. this was not a blue wave. if you look at it, david perdue ran ahead of donald trump in the suburbs. so there are two groups in this runoff election. one group of voters are the low propensity trump voters who turned out for him primarily and voted for him and voted for the
9:09 am
other republicans on the ballot as a result, and then the swing voters. a small group of them comparatively. when you've got 5 million people, talking about maybe 100 or 150,000 who said i am not voting in the presidential race, or i am voting for joe biden but returning to my republican risk when it comes to the senate ra race, members of congress, and so forth. >> harris: so interesting. normally, you put this on a whiteboard for me, and i can just take a snap, but i'm working today. that is what is so fascinating to me. these two groups of voters. >> karl: yeah, well, what's interesting to me, first of all, i'm the chairman of the georgia battleground committee of the national republican senatorial committee to raise money, but it's given me a chance to look at some of the polling data. you have two different groups,
9:10 am
and yet the same thing that causes them to vote republican, which is checks and balances. if you say to them do you want to have a republican senate or democratic senate, they say i don't want nancy pelosi and chuck schumer to be in charge. i don't want them to have either if trump is present, which he is not going to be, but if you are a true believer that this is somehow going to be turned over, you don't want him to have to deal with the democratic senate. you don't want nancy pelosi and chuck schumer to have a clear path to do what they want to do, so checks and balances, divided government. whatever it is. whatever label you want to put on it. those things, both groups of voters. low propensity trump voters. suburban swing voter in the atlanta area. >> harris: martha, your thoughts on it? >> martha: i am fascinated. that is an excellent point. and the dynamic that we saw in november, where you saw this
9:11 am
very surprising surge in republican state legislatures, and then you saw the president not coming up with numbers enough to be joe biden. so those individuals, even though that is a small piece of the pie, as karl points out, the question of what they are going to do on tuesday? are they motivated to turn out? i think the outcome is a microcosm for the rest of the country and what we saw it as well for specifically that reason. did people divide their ballot in a way that they generally don't even vote for joe biden and then vote for republicans? and if that's the case, i think we are going to see a potential for a republican win here in the senate in georgia. >> harris: kennedy, just a quick word from you, and then we will move on. >> kennedy: hear, hear, that's all i have to say. it's fascinating watching this. i think karl and mike dubke point just something very important, which it is not cut
9:12 am
and dry, especially in the states, which are purpleish. people are no longer just voting by party. whether or not they can be trusted in addition to the issues, which are the most massive component that works into all of this. it has changed, and we are in a very different time then we were even four years ago. i think a lot of that is president trump because even if you didn't vote for him, you still see that they are different nontraditional ways of addressing these problems, which means that voters are tuning in as well. >> harris: and i love what dagen said. don't tell people in the south how to vote. you might be surprised. make sure you tune in for fox news special coverage led by our own bret baier and martha maccallum. it kicks off tomorrow at 6:00 p.m. tomorrow right here on the fox news channel. meanwhile, david perdue that

9:18 am
obtained by "the washington post" between president trump and georgia secretary of state, the president heard on tape pleading with the state selection chief to find enough votes to hand him the victory with a specific number in mind. speak of the people of georgia are angry. the people of the country are angry, and there's nothing wrong with saying that, you know, that you've recalculated. i just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more then we have. because we won the state. >> harris: well, a lot of people are very angry about that. going over the release of the tape, david perdue, the senate candidate down in georgia, does not believe it will have any effect on tuesday's election. >> i don't think it's really going to affect our election. i was a little surprise that the republican party would leak that. it's disgusting in my view.
9:19 am
>> harris: karl, let's start there. the shock over one republican recording that. what's your take? >> karl: well, first of all, we shouldn't be surprised. people are people, and the president has heaped abuse on the georgia secretary of state in a deeply personal way for basically the last two months. brad raffensperger decided he was going to get his revenge, so he tape-recorded the call. i don't think the president should have made the call. this is one that was for the lawyers to make. say we want to have a meeting. can we find some agreement? we've got some things that we are concerned about. we need data from you. please, can we meet? but it is unseemly for him to be on that call, making those kinds of comments, and begging for raffensperger to somehow and 11,000 votes to flip georgia. and i just -- you know, but i
9:20 am
wasn't surprised. people are people. raffensperger has been abused by the president. you notice he, on the tape, i listen to it last night. stayed up late. listen to it twice. raffensperger was not saying much. taking at all then. and i wasn't surprised after listening to it. leg. i've got to say this. the president has been ill-served in the slow process. think about this. he says we have 50,000 people who showed up at the polls and weren't allowed to vote because they had already -- a ballot had already been cast in their name. they are angry. we have accounts. certified by public accountants, whatever that means. and this is a real problem. well, look. at 50,000 people -- remember, 977,000 people voted on election day in november. so it 50,000 people showed up at the polls, one out of every 20
9:21 am
voters chose our band is told i'm sorry, you can vote because it says you already voted by mail. and if one out of every 20 voters who showed up was told that, and they said i didn't cast a mail-in ballot, we would have heard about that. somebody told the president -- we've got 50,000 voters, and we certified -- that would have been a story. we would have people storming out of the polls of one out of every 20 was turned away because someone had already cast a ballot in their name, and they haven't sent in the ballot, we would have heard about that, yet somebody told the president that, and he tried to make the case that i've got a list, and i'm going to give it to you. it has been certified. 50,000 voters who on election day were turned away. it boggles my mind. >> harris: dagen -- >> karl: one other point, if i made. these problems about the consent
9:22 am
agreement, that was settled on an april, were known publicly in april. i've been involved in two presidential campaigns. one thing you do is you have your lawyers looking at every critical battleground state, and anything that remotely looks like this, read from the get-go, if there were problems with it, where were at the campaign lawyers? where was the leadership in georgia, saying washington, please send us lawyers and get involved in this because we think this is problematic. the president was not well served in making the phone call. and not being well served by his campaign not to identify these problems that they emerged as problems. >> harris: karl, on this very program, we have talked about how pennsylvania had the same problem, karl. if the pennsylvania legislature and the supreme court of that state, if they were looking at changing laws that were going to affect the election, that happened actually at the end of the previous year. so where were the president's lawyers to take a peek at that?
9:23 am
even as early as early 2020, to take a look at that, but they left it to you later in the year. it became very complicated. so, dagen, a couple of things. raffensperger is going to have a press conference just announced at 3:00 p.m. eastern today. secretary of state's office put out a statement on that. and you know, that background of that leaked phone call, dagen, when you read about it and raffensperger saying we've been here before november, he accused lindsey graham of improperly extorting him to meddle in the election. raffensperger's advisors were telling him it would be good to get him on record at this point. it is nice to have something like this. that is a direct quote from one of his advisors. just your thoughts on all of this? >> dagen: i'm curious what karl thinks about all this because it is one thing if you are going to be on a call with
9:24 am
an individual, and you think that it would be disputed, to tape it, but it feels like somebody in the georgia secretary of state's office, wants kelly loeffler and david perdue to lose, that you would leak this audio two days before the runoff raises. >> karl: yeah, well, look. this is why this whole thing has become a disaster. i sense is most people have sort of teamed this out. very smart friend in georgia who has been observing this, and he says he'd like capable of keeping two entirely different scenarios in their minds. on the one hand, there are people who say trump lost the november election, but i'm voting for the republicans because i want checks and balances, but there were other people who say trump did lose, and there is a big fight going on about that, but by, i'm going to turn out and vote. i think that's probably right.
9:25 am
the problem with this is not necessarily that it causes people not to vote. the problem with it is that it obscures the campaigns from delivering their message. we have had all of these kind of little controversies, and they chew up time. time is your most valuable commodity. your second one is message. your third is money, but time is the most important commodity. this is why the president's remarks and i are so critical. because if he spends -- certainly he is going to talk about his grievances about the georgia election. not going to be able to stop him. but if he spends most of his time talking about grievances, it will chew up the time that he can spend on think to his supporters it is really important that you turn out to vote because these people, ossoff and warnock, will make it possible to block me, ripped on my agenda and my record and turn it over. we need a check cannot balance on nancy pelosi and the liberals in washington. if we are going to have -- it
9:26 am
will be about things tonight. grievances about the election outcome and messages about checks and balances. it is going to be the relationship between the two and how importantly it resonates in the mind of people saying should and vote tomorrow and vote republican? >> harris: my thought, real quick word before we go to break? >> martha: , i think that the president has a decision to make when he got out there. is it going to be about him, or is it going to be about the things that he cares about? if it's about the things that he cares about and the issues that he has brought to the forefront, let's put this aside for a moment. let's focus on these two senate races. let's look to the future. creating an environment where he runs again in four years. but that is that she needs to look at something larger than himself for an hour and whatever time period he is out there, if, indeed, his role when he gets here, is to try to pull these two senators across the finish
9:27 am
line. >> harris: it so interesting. he's a step away from everything else. wednesday is when they are set to begin the process potentially in the senate. all right. a group of republican senators say, speaking of which, they will object to the election results during the official count on wednesday. now vice president pence is weighing in. how he is backing the effort that is drawn big reaction from both sides of the political aisle. ♪ nicorette knows, quitting smoking is freaking hard.
9:29 am
9:31 am
9:32 am
senators have said they will challenge the results and call for a commission to investigate claims of election irregularities in several battleground states. despite criticism from fellow republicans, including majority leader mitch mcconnell, who said it would only divide and weaken the party. the senators say they lost faith in our elections. >> we have an obligation to protect the integrity of the democratic system, and so this past week, i spent writing out, assembling a group ultimately have 11 senators that we put out yesterday, that we will together object to certification in order to force the appointment of an emergency electoral commission to perform an emergency and audit of the election results to assess these claims of fraud. >> dagen: karl, as a "wall street journal" editorial page point out today, these statements do not allege it
9:33 am
specific acts of fraud, that they cite allegations of fraud and irregularities. what is the outcome of this? >> karl: well, it's a p.r. gesture. a stunt. we had one senator, josh hawley emissary, who said i'm going to stop certification. that was never going to happen because the house is not going to go along with it. ted cruz decides well, i'm going to call for an emergency commission that is going to resolve issues that we haven't been able to resolve conclusively in the last two months. and that ain't going to happen because the house is not going to go along with them. signifying little or nothing, and it is not going to resolve the issue. think about it. even if there were a commission, who thinks that these questions will be able to be resolved in ten days? which is what this is calling for. the president of the united states is under the law and under the constitution to be sworn in on january 20th. now, back when we have the
9:34 am
commission under in 1876 and 1877 and the election, the president was sworn in in march. the electoral commission of that era was already underway, investigating the efforts in the south to wipe out the black republican vote in states like florida, and there by tossing the states into the democratic column. it had already been underway for weeks. and now suddenly, we are going to somehow find a way to resolve all of this in the next ten da days. >> harris: i don't mean to step on you. the vice president has just walked on stage. he is in the state of georgia. about to take the microphone. so we have a clearer picture of this now. the shot has been a little weak, you would imagine. technological times. so much pressure on our technology, but we are hoping that the shot holds together because the president is about
9:35 am
to talk to voters in georgia. >> vice president pence: well, hello, georgia. [cheers and applause] congressman scott, congressman ferguson, all of the wonderful men and women of rock springs church. thank you for that warm welcome. it's really is a blessing my heart more than i can say. but i am here -- i'm here for one reason and one reason only. and that is that georgia and america needs david perdue and kelly loeffler back. republican majority in the united states senate. [cheers and applause] and one more day, we need georgia to defend the majority. and one more day, we need people of faith in this great state to
9:36 am
stand with 2 liters who will support life and liberty and the freedom of every american. and one more day, we need to win georgia. [indistinct audio] >> harris: well, as i was forecasting, the technical difficulties from there at the rock springs church has been, you know, i'm going in just the last 3 minutes as we were monitoring this. it is frustrating because we know the importance of hearing from the vice president on a day like today when the state of georgia is going to vote in the senate ran off. so, we will continue to monitor. looking up to the site now, he still frozen, but it is kind of the technology of our time. i want to bring everybody back in now, and if we can go back suddenly and watch him, we will do that. karl, i had cut you off before. i'm going to quickly go to kennedy and come back to you because kennedy, i want to get
9:37 am
your take on just the importance of the day before. this is a november 2nd, before the presidential election, but in some ways, it feels as big as that. >> kennedy: it is, and it has been pointed out how impressive this is to have two senators in the same state and a special election that are going to decide not only the balance of the senate bed again, the ideological balance and what gets passed. to dagen's point earlier, more portly, what gets repealed. you could make the argument that they really help spur economic growth and wage increases. and full employment that we had not seen in this country in decades, particularly for groups you needed them most. women and minorities. young workers.
9:38 am
and multitrillion dollar spending passages, the generational impact of that is almost inconceivable. so it is not just what happens now in this moment or in this year or in the next two years for the united states senate. the unintended consequences of this about, this day, could be massive. >> harris: we are keeping our eye on that. may be we will try to go back to it. dagen, as we look at how things are laying out, the president-elect joe biden will be there. president trump will be there. the role that all of the pomp and circumstance really plays, you and i both agree, no one tells georgians or anybody in the south necessarily how they are going to vote. >> dagen: having to act like they enjoy it. all men to brothers, even though
9:39 am
they weren't born in georgia. they are from florida original originally. there is so much going on. eric erickson tweeted some saying. supported in parts of the state, outside of the borders of georgia, but david perdue has a lot of support in georgia among black farmers in that part of the state because of the aides that he helped get for them after hurricane michael. cell the state will vote in no way that people might not anticipate. then there is the enthusiasm issue. the lack of $2,000 checks, that was another belly flop that president trump made. whether that hurts or helps enthusiasm. >> kennedy: one person who is very enthusiastic about holding onto power is house
9:40 am
speaker nancy pelosi, getting slammed after allowing house members who tested positive for covid, she let them into the chamber to the in the speakership election which, surprise, surprise, she won. to separate those with the coronavirus from everyone else. republicans calling policy out on it. watch. >> a little section up there in the corner with plexiglas where members who tested positive just a few days ago for covid-19 to come in and vote because nancy pelosi is desperate, and she needs it very badly. >> kennedy: well, that's not all. take a look at the house chamb chamber. plessis appearing to break the rules with little to no social distancing on the house floor. yeah, go ahead and give them the elbow, nance. it was not a massive margin by which she won. what does this say about her
9:41 am
power and her place in the caucus right now? >> martha: well, it was a squeaker for nancy pelosi. probably her last term as speaker of the house. she has always faced opposition, but she is a very shrewd political player, and she has always managed to keep herself in a position of power. she did that once again. she has proven that when it comes down to the salon or certain protests or perhaps to vote for her as speaker of the house, she is willing to make some pretty big exceptions in the rules that she wants to do so harshly impose on other people. we have seen a lot of hypocrisy in the treatment of covid-19, and this is just another example of a peer nancy pelosi has a lot at stake here, and she's got a lot at stake in the georgia race as well. just to go back and make one point about the election, contesting the election, one of the biggest issues is the lawsuits that karl talked about.
9:42 am
there does need to be a forum to revisit these legal decisions across the country that change the voting rules and an unprecedented way for the selection because of covid-19. and if those are not contested, if that is not pushed for coming elections, as will be baked in the cake for the rest of eternity. that is an important element for people who are contesting the selection. whether it is about the selection, the presidential election, or future elections. one needs to happen in terms of evaluating the way that things are done because i think it will be very hard to turn back the clock on any of those decisions and make it increasingly difficult for republicans in elections to come. >> kennedy: all right, so, karl, is nancy pelosi a me to hypocrisy? it seems like those partitions could have been built months earlier, and or legislation could have been passed in the face of covid when millions and millions of americans are
9:43 am
suffering. what do you see there? >> karl: i see self-preservation peer nancy pelosi is a tough political player, and she was in a tough situation, so she's going to do everything she needed to do or how to do in order to make sure that she won. she twisted arms to get several members to agree to vote present. she arranged for somebody to come off of the covid quarantine in order to arrive in time to vote. she had plexiglas install, and she was going to do anything necessary to ensure she got elected, and by god, she got elected. >> kennedy: , it's impressive. what does that say about the democratic congress men and women who essentially voted present? >> harris: you know, i think my thigh was really hitting on something. so close that you call in because they positive people, even though you know you haven't
9:44 am
done widespread testing on the hill. she didn't want to do that early on. didn't include all the staff and all of that. you talk about hypocrisy, also really shortsighted and dangerous. some people are going to do as she does and not as she says. i would show you what i am talking about. but we've got vice president pence back up, and it looks like the shot is holding. let's go to rock springs church. talking to voters. >> vice president pence: we are finally giving our marines, soldiers, and space boys the support they need to defend our nation now and in the future. it's true. i'm here to tell you senator david perdue, on the armed services committee, has been there every step of the way. [applause] you all remember the last administration.
9:45 am
we saw here is a scandal at the va that shock the conscience of the nation. remember? we had america's heroes, in many cases, passing away on a waiting list to get into va facilities. when president trump came into office, those days were over. [cheers and applause] we passed the most sweeping reform in 50 years, and now that are in the choice is now available for every veteran in america. [cheers and applause] and from her position on the veterans affairs committee, senator kelly loeffler has been fighting for our veterans every day. [cheers and applause] it's true. and when it comes to the economy, after the slowest recovery in 75 years, we cut taxes. we reeled back regulation at a historic pace. we fought for free and fair trade.
9:46 am
we unleash american energy, and in those first three years, businesses large and small created 7 million good paying jobs, including 350,000 jobs right here in the peach state. [cheers and applause] which is where arising across the board in those first three years. and maybe what it meant the to the president, wages were rising for hardworking blue-collar americans. the forgotten men and women of america were forgotten no more. [applause] it's true. so we were making extraordinary progress in those first three years. strongest economy in the history of our nation. and then 2020 arrived. and the coronavirus truck from china. with the support of your two senators under the leadership of president donald trump, we launch the greatest national mobilization since world war ii.
9:47 am
we reinvented testing. we sought to that delivery of billions of medical supplies. we sought to the creation of medicines in record time. secured financial support for businesses and family is, and it's amazing to think in less than a year, we already have not one but two, safe and effective vaccines that are being administered all across the country to millions of americans. [cheers and applause] and georgia senators where there every step of the way. they helped us with that strong foundation in our economy. after we lost 22 million jobs at the height of this coronavirus pandemic, we've already seen 12 million americans go back to work. we are opening up georgia again and opening up america again. [cheers and applause] it's been a year of hardship and

heartbreak. millions of americans. the year 2020. today, we are delivering our medicines. making sure that every american family has access to the health care that we would want every member of our family to have. going forward, the days between now and when we put this coronavirus in the past. we all know what to do to slow the spread and flatten the curve. we all know how important it is to remember in our prayers all the families that have suffered and are still struggling in this pandemic. and i know that that is just what you will do. the truth is, though, thanks to your president and the support of your two senators, thanks to you incredible american ingenuity, operation warm speed, we have arrived at the beginning of the end of the current virus pandemic, and that day will come soon that we put this pandemic in the past.
9:49 am
[cheers and applause] and i mean to tell you every step of the way, and my position leading the white house there is task force, david perdue, senator kelly loeffler will be there for the people of georgia. with their support, we have been defending america. we've been reviving america's economy. we have been healing america. and all along the way, the most important role, with the support of your two senators, we have been defending freedom. i couldn't be more proud of each and every one if you, with the support of george's two senators, we've already confirmed 220 federal judges at every level, and they are all principled men and women who uphold the god given liberty as enshrined in our constitution.
9:50 am
[cheers and applause] like freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the second amendment, right to keep and bear arms. [cheers and applause] and remember, the president automates to our federal courts, but it is the sonnet that confirms the men and women that serve on their federal judiciary. so all the progress that we have made would not have been possible without the strong and steadfast and unwavering support of senator david perdue and senator kelly loeffler. they stood strong. we appointed all of those federal judges all across the country, and they were there when we confirmed it just as neil gorsuch, justice brett kavanaugh, and justice amy coney barrett. [cheers and applause] how great is she?
9:51 am
it really is incredible. all along the way, the last four years, with the support of your senators, our administration has stood strong. stood strong for religious liberties. early on, we repealed the johnson amendment because the first amendment freedom of speech should not end at the front door of our churches or synagogues or places of worship. [cheers and applause] we stood for their religious liberty of every american, and we made religious freedom a priority. foreign policy. the goals of our administration on the world stage. you all may remember the last administration was different. the last administration trampled on the religious liberties of americans. it's true.
9:52 am
they compromise the conscience of doctors and religious charities. the last administration even hauled a group of catholic nuns into federal court to force them to compromise their faith to live under the federal mandates of obamacare. incredible. in fact, we saw that religious intolerance in just a few years ago when amy coney barrett went before the judiciary committee for her first nomination to the federal courts. do you remember? the leading democrat on the senate judiciary committee actually said that she was concerned about how sincere amy coney barrett's christian faith was. she said, and i quote "the dog loudly within you." and hollywood liberals have been
9:53 am
attacking amy coney barrett for her faith and her values every sense. i've got a message for the democrats in washington and their friends in hollywood. that dogma list loudly and me. [cheers and applause] that dogma lives loudly in me. the right to live and work and were shot but according to lives loudly in the constitution of the united states of america.

in a republican majority in the united states senate. [cheers and applause] we do. i mean, the stakes in the selection have never been high higher. and the choice has never been clearer. for david perdue and kelly loeffler standing for strong national defense, jon ossoff and raphael warnock are going to cut our national defense. you just watch. for david perdue and kelly loeffler, they cut taxes. jon ossoff and raphael warnock are going to raise taxes on people and businesses all across the country. you may have seen in raphael warnock is actually caught on tape calling members of the united states senate "gangsters and thugs" because they voted to cut taxes on hardworking americans across the peach
9:55 am
state. and raphael warnock has called our most cherished l.a l.a. "an apartheid state." president donald trump did what no american president had ever done before when he moved to the american embassy to jerusalem, the capital of the state of israel. [cheers and applause] i'll tell you, under president donald trump, david perdue and kelly loeffler, if the world knows nothing else, the world will know this. america stands with israel. [cheers and applause]
9:56 am
and where jon ossoff and raphael warnock, like the party they represent, support abortion on demand and taxpayer funding of abortion all the way up to the moment of birth. i couldn't be more proud to serve alongside the most pro-life president in american history. [cheers and applause] and i couldn't be more grateful that david perdue and kelly loeffler stand for the right to life. [cheers and applause] so you all know what the stakes are here in georgia. if you haven't got it in focus yet, just listen to what chuck schumer said. he said "now we take georgia. then we change america." well, i've got another message

[laughter] a couple weeks ago, joe biden was in georgia. you may have heard about it. he actually said that georgia -- these are his words. he said that georgia doesn't need to senators who "are just going to get in the way." well, georgette, that's exactly what we need in the united states senate.
