he believes brian kemp did not do enough to aggressively contradict those election results at the endkemp for his losing georgia so he wants to find somebody. he's been struggling. david perdue would certainly be a solution to that and i'm hearing from people close to kemp that they want to make david perdue's life, quote, a living hell if purdue gets in and runs against him in the primary and i'm hearing from the rga. the rga will back its incumbents who are facing primary elections so that would include kemp so there could be some monetary support here from this group of republican governors. >> michael warren. fascinating reporting on the ground in phoenix. let's bring into the room. this gets to what we were talking earlier in the show. history of the president's first mid-term election the other party does well. economic factors. the support polling right now, election 11 months away around right now it looks good for elections and now a story like this. a republican governor but trump doesn't like him because he wouldn't help trump cheat. >> purdue wouldn't be the kind of candid

you came into brian kim's administration -- brian kemp's ministration. what were the challenges in the balloting system? guest: we had two main issues. the federal judge came down with the ruling that you can't use the electronic machines ever again. you have to have a verifiable paper ballot. also, we finished up the race, stacey abrams lost the race by nearly 55,000 votes. our office had nine blue suits from fair fight, fair count and all sorts of allied organizations with this narrative of a stolen election and voter suppression. fast-forward two years, we were prepared. we were not expecting them about voter fraud. we have been pushing back on both of them. host: you are joining us this morning, talking about your new book, integrity counts. why did you write the book? guest: to set the record straight. it is a very important story that has tremendous implications for american democracy. host: part of that book, in the book you wrote this. people have heard you say this a number of times about president trump. i voted for president trump. i am a life

one of the states he lost, georgia, and there he repeatedly complained that georgia's governor brian kemp refused to reverse his defeat or call a special election. >> i said, brian, listen. you have a big election integrity problem in georgia. i hope you can help us out and call a special election and let's get to the bottom of it for the good of the country. let's get to the bottom of it for the good of your state. let's go election integrity. what could be better than that? sir, i'm sorry. i cannot do that. >> those remarks should be of great interest to the fulton county district attorney's office which has been quietly assembling a case against the former president for his attempts to overturn the election there. on saturday we learned the district attorney is close to impaneling a special grand jury in the investigation which may lead to charges against donald trump. a key focus the january 4th phone call between trump and georgia's secretary of state brad raffensberger. you remember. the call where then president pressured raffensberger to, quote, find him the votes to win. >> so te

kemp. he won't do anything about election integrity. i said, let me handle this. this is easy. >> i said, brian know, you have a big election integrity problem in georgia. i hope you can help us out and call a special election. >> reporter: kemp in the call with trump last september refused. newly released public evidence like recently released testimony are helping to find a roadmap for willis's sprawling investigation. raffensperger making clear in his book he felt trump was threatening him where trump baselessly accused raffensperger of covering up ballots. >> that's a criminal offense. you can't let that happen. that's a big risk to you and to ryan, your lawyer. that's a big risk. >> reporter: now president trump is using what he believes is the power. >> i could hear he thought he would have some kind of pressure to bear with outside forces to make our lives miserable. >> what is it to them if they try to ruin raffensperger? >> they didn't care about that one person. raffensperger was in his way. i'll be there to give her my vision of my opinion or my comments of what i saw. >> reporter: t

. >> just days later, he exp exploreates brian kemp for not helping him to overturn the election. legally do and had no grounds to do. >> so far we haven't been able to find the people with the courage to do the right thing. >> here he was calling this into question because we wouldn't lie in front of a national audience for donald trump. >> and trump leaned on the state election investigator. >> the people of georgia are angry. i won by hundreds of thousands of votes. whatever you can do for answers is a great thing for the country. >> the surprising part to me was how granular of a level donald trump was actually personally engaged in trying to overturn the election in georgia. certainly we started hearing about phone calls he was making and of course, we all heard the unfortunate 60 plus call with brad. >> they were threatening ballots. >> you had out-of-state voters. >> that was a complete disaster and embarrassment to anybody that cares about democracy. >> after repeating a litany of false investigations in his view the secretary was breaking the law in his view by ignoring h

on friday, georgia governor brian kemp touted a new megarail system at the port of atlanta, he says can alleviate some supply chain issues. he says the biden administration should do more. >> you need to ask somebody at the white house about that. everybody i'm talking to, they're worried about gas. they're worried about groceries and everything else that you're boyi ing boy ibuying. this is unsustainable. people have to get realistic with real economics. >> reporter: with all of the rising costs, whether it be gas prices, groceries, housing, it's no surprise that new data coming out of the university of michigan shows that consumer sentiment is at a ten-year low. nadia romero, cnn, atlanta. >>> amid the disappointing economic news, the biden administration is change its tune on inflation, acknowledging that americans could be feeling the financial pinch longer than expected. cnn's joe john'ss is at the whi house. >> reporter: the president's evolving approach to inflation, a reflection of concern not just here at the white house, but also on capitol hill, about spiking prices almost ac

. >> brace for the big georgia governor brian kemp atlanta raised a >> and now kron 4 sports from theesk. >> packers quarterback aaron rodgers was already in hot water after testing positive for covid-19 while unvaccinated now that water is scalding hot today. rogers, one of the pat mcafee show defending his decision not to get the shot and his comment previously telling the press that he was immunized. let's take a listen. >> and i go back to like these 2 questions for you know, for this mob like. number one. if the vaccine is so great. and how can people are still getting covid and spreading covid. and unfortunately dying from covid. and i consulted with and now good friend of mine, joe rogan. after he covid and i've been doing. a lot of the stuff that he recommended in his pod casts and you know, on the phone to me and i'm going to have the best immunity possible. now. >> rogers said that he believes he caught the virus from someone who was vaccinated and that the idea that this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated is a total lie, in his words, he faced intense scrutiny for saying in

and georgia's governor, brian kemp, was in savannah, the port talking about a way he believes will alleviateain that could help with inflation. but he's also placing blame at the white house. listen. >> i mean, look there is a whole other problem with inflation. you need to ask somebody at the white house about that. because everybody i'm talking to, their worried about grass and groceries and everything else that you're buying. an this is unsustainable and they're wanting to spend more money out there. people have got to get realistic with real economics. >> and so you're hearing politicians talk about the price of goods and inflation and boris you mentioned, there are so many people in america who are concerned, there was a new index that came out for people being asked what do you think about the economy and the future and a quarter of them said they are nervous. and we have the holiday season starting. so for some people it already started if you're an early shopper. for others like me you're waiting. but you're concerned about the price of those goods trying to make sure that you get al

to make the final decision, but when you talk about the people who have spoken about this case, brian kemp, and what's changed here. there's now a hate crime law and they got rid of the citizen's arrest law that was in the state for so long, but take a look at this image of the men being walked out of court. so surreal yesterday. as they were being walked to the car to go to jail, there were so many people cheering about the fact they were found guilty. when you think about this for the family and they went for months not knowing if this would move forward then all of a sudden, the gbi comes in and this prosecution moves forward, you can understand why family members were happy and satisfied about yesterday's verdict. >> this is the second thanksgiving my family and i will share without him, but this is the first thanksgiving that we can look at that empty chair and say we finally got justice for you. it's like a bittersweet moment. he's not here, but i know he's in heaven. very, very thankful we got justice for him. >> alex, you have to think about her emotions and the fact she kept her c

. >> serious arrests of a complicated concept and brian kemp of georgia has since repealed the abilityce since the civil war. you know, we don't really understand that term, but generally speaking, we don't understand it to mean you can chase someone down on your suspicion that something's up with them and then claim that they were trying to injure you ask kill them in self-defense, this is why some people are referring to this as a lynching. ahmaud arbery, those guys are suspecting him of lurking around the neighborhood had no evidence of it, nothing was proved and he is dead now. >> that's right. that citizens arrest law is a relic of the jim crow south. it was designed to allow white people to capture runaway slaves and the fact that it was repealed after this incident will be used by the defense to make the point that it was legal what they did, making this arrest, quote, unquote, of this unarmed african-american was legal under georgia law at the time. we'll see what the jury thinks. this county, glen county is 27% black. one of the 15 people available for the jury is black. are t

in georgia, he's trying to get david perdue, the former senator from that state, to run against brian kemphas obviously been very critical of over his reaction to the 2020 election. and then in alabama, you have another candidate who is running in a senate primary against a trump endorsed candidate, linda blanchard, running against mo brooks and trump is trying to convince her to drop out of that race and instead challenge governor kay ivey in alabama who he is very upset with, we're told, because she did not allow him to hold a rally this summer aboard the uss alabama. >> what kind of issue does that present for republican leaders? >> it is -- just further testament to the influence he has over the republican party at this point in time. and it is extremely difficult for them to undo any of that, for them to unravel it, they're constantly up against a former president who is trying to put his candidates in races where he thinks he's -- they're going to win against incumbents who a lot of these republican leaders have been saying they're going to defend. that puts them at odds with the for

. >>> well, georgia's republican governor brian kemp responded to the verdicts with this statement.aud arbery was the victim of vigilanteism that has no place in georgia, he says. as legal efforts continue to hold accountable all who may be responsible, we hope the arbery family, the brunswick community, our state and those around the nation who have been following his case can now move forward down the path of healing and reconciliation. >>> now, here in europe, 27 migrants trying to make the dangerous journey by sea from france to britain have died after their boat capsized in the frigid waters of the english channel. it is believed to be the worst disaster involving migrants trying to cross that narrow waterway. you can see there on your screen, in recent years. it comes as migrants crossings continue to surge. according to data compiled by the news agency, more than 25,000 people have crossed the channel to the uk so far this year. that is three times the total for all of 2020. french president manuel macron and british prime minister boris johnson said they'll step up efforts t

. >> as i have always said, i acknowledge that the very beginning that brian kemp won under the rules that were in place. but i object to, the rules that permitted thousands of georgia voters to be denied their participation in this election. there are votes that were cast it up. and so i will continue to disagree with this system until it is fixed. >> and let me play for you what donald trump said speaking to you in a phone call last december. >> so, look all i want to do is this, i just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have because we won the state. >> again, to be clear, it was never stacey abrams gold to overturn the election, but change rules for future elections. and trump asked due to quote, find votes to overturn the results. you do except that difference, right? >> no, would i do except is that both of them, what they have done, is really trying to undermine the legitimacy of -- >> i am sorry, that point of -- if i can -- if i could just made that point of distinction you do acknowledge that she is not asking to overturn the results of a lit election, she

you look at what happened to brian kemp.t this guy has been endorsing across the country. you look at and you talk about a bar seen from star wars, look at the republicans in arizona that are front runner right now. this is something that again, i go back to mitch mcconnell. this is something that mitch connell has to worry about everyday. not mccarthy because those seats are still gerrymandered. if you want to win statewide in georgia and arizona, you know, donald trump is your biggest problem. >> candidates actually matter. the political environment is the best for republican in deades on my metrics. issues like inflation and supply chain. when donald trump has his top advisers and they discuss endorsement. this was done back in a few months. and trump will say all these polls, where is he on trump? where is he on trump? >> that's literally -- his quote. the other thing is where were they on 2020? there has been some advises as president who said to him look, you have a very -- you have a low percentage chance of winning t

the governor of georgia, brian kemp, has released a statement. "arbery was the victim of vigilantism that has no place in his state," as legal efforts continue to hold all accountable as responsible very hope the arbery family, the brunswick community, those in the state and around the nation who been following this case can now move forward on a path of healing and reconciliation. a live look outside the courthouse as we bring in former d.c. police detective defense attorney and fox news contributor ted williams. we heard from the family attorney ben crump, al sharpton spoke as well and arbery's mother. very emotional response on a very big day for her son and her family. >> yeah. i've got to tell you i was moved by the words "all lives matter." we are such a divided country. we are divided along racial lines. what we observed here in this verdict and what could be taken away from this verdict is that justice prevailed and that when we see things in a white and black manner, then everything is not always the way we see it. here we had 11 of the
