am back with georgia gubernatorial candidate david perdue. is pressure you are apparently getting from brian kemp. also pressure from stacy abrams. joe biden recently said if he ulhad ten stacy abrams he could quote rule the world. >> we have to fix this. the first thing we have to do is get people confident in the voting system this year but i have to run in a primary have to run in a general election. we are going to tell people president trump told the people in virginia. we fix some things is not perfect that we know what they did when they did and how they did were going to make sure that does not happen again this time. so if they get out and vote they can overwhelm the system that's what happened in virginia we have a new republican governor there we can do the same thing in georgia. stacy abrams will never be governor of georgia for one reason she is a fraud. what she has done is materialized a lie over the last three years in voter suppression in georgia she can never bein governor. she did not engage in a meeting with biden when he c

senator ossoff defeated david perdue and david perdue's stock trading was a factor in that race. now senator ossoff, his proposal to not only require members of congress to stop trading stocks but has very stiff financial penalties if they're found in violation. it would also preclude a spouse, which is something that house speaker pelosi has faced criticism for because her husband is an agentive stock trader. -- active stock trader. what has shifted recently is pelosi has expressed an openness to one of these policies before she would say, you know, even a few weeks ago she said this is a free country. we are a free market and members of congress should be able to participate in the stock market like everyone else. but now she said, if my members want it, let's find something. if that's what the will of the body is, we will go forward. i think that gave the green light to more discussions. now the question is again ossoff has a bill but so do many other members of congress, so which is the bill that moves forward? host: let's hear from james in south dakota, republican line. cal

david perdue is an outstanding man.ete and total endorsement. vote for david perdue. >> interesting little chiron there. did you notice they're trying to turn this into the idea that only perdue can beat stacy abrams? that's not an excerpt from trump in georgia. it's trump directed camera which tells you how invested he is in this primary. mehmet oz is going up against his opponent, david mccormack, accusing him of being, quote, china's friend. by the way, one little interesting nugget, in pennsylvania, dr. oz runs as dr. oz. when david mccormick attacks him, it's mehmet oz. in the alabama senate primary, the club for growth is out with two different ads. one highlights donald trump's endorsement of brooks, and the other attacks the chief challenger. >> president trump needs people he can count on in the senate. he needs mo brooks. >> someone who has worked harder than anyone else in congress. >> a proven conservative, brooks will never compromise on election integrity. >> there's liz cheney trashing trump again. why di

david perdue is an outstanding man.te and total endorsement. vote for david perdue. >> i mean quickly translate there. donald trump says brian kemp let us down. brian kemp didn't help donald trump cheat is what he meant to say. the issue for me, that's paid for by the perdue campaign. trump has all this money, but the big question is does he use it to support people he likes. does he spending a lot of it, spend a little of it or save it for him in 2024? i'm betting on the latter. >> i'm betting on the latter too. trump is known to spend little on campaigns like this, on other republicans down ballot. so he's amassing this war chest for a potential 2024 run. i mean, look, trump is making clear that unless something dramatically changes, unless he's prosecuted, he plans to run again and that will ultimately be for his attempt to subvert the election, for his attempt to potentially cheat in 2024, because again, as we talked about earlier this hour, he's not hiding any of that. he's not trying to say that he isn't running a

quinnipiac polls show that -- show you neck and neck against incumbent brian kemp and former senator david perdue to call. now, georgia is becoming one of the key battleground states over the direction of our country. what are you doing different hi this time around? >> one, we are going to do what we did right the last time and that is reach out to every georgian as early as we can. tonight is actually a fundraising dead-for us. we are closing the books on this last quarter and it is important for us to raise the resources we need in order to reach every voter. because people are in pain but they also want a promise that more opportunity is available. they want a governor who is not proud of his inaction. they want someone who wants to lead a state of opportunity. that's what i intend to do. we are going to reach out to the 1.3 million voters who joined the rolls after 2018. we know that 43% of these new voters are under the age of 30. we know that -- model 17 points higher for democrats than republicans to be the new people on the rolls. but more than anything, what we know is that they are hun

look at those numbers. 1.2 million raised by david perdue. he got in december 6 through january 31.look at the story and it's an establishment, donors and activisted and legislators siding with kemp seems to be where the smart money is at this point. the only thing pir due has is this endorsement from donald trump that happened the day he got in the race. >> that tells you something that you have an establishment in a state saying we're with the incumbent governor, we're against trump. you look at perdue, perdue just lost. >> we know that donald trump makes these things personal. it's a mixed bag. house races, sometimes he endorses the winner and sometimes the primary loser. he seems to be in a bit of a rut across the country. in alabama he's frustrated with mo brooks is doing in that race. in pennsylvania his pick has dropped out. i think a lot are looking at that track record and paying attention to what voters care about. donald trump's focus on the 2020 election is not where republicans are at the moment. they're looking at the biden administration, at the economy, all these oth

. >> david perdue an america first conservative outsider, he's the only candidate for governor he endorsed by president donald trump. >> then you campaign ad now airing in georgia is a testament to what happens to republicans who refused to endorse the former presidents election fraud lies. the atlanta journal-constitution puts it this way, it's one of the first direct to camera peels in a tv ad from trump this election cycle. and it continues the theme for purdue, who has centered his challenge against kemp on both his loyalty to trump and his embrace of the former presidents phony narrative of widespread election fraud. joining us now, robert gibbs, former obama campaign senior adviser and former white house press secretary. he also cohosts the hacks on top. and mark mckinnon, former advisor to both george w. bush and john mccain. he's also one of the cohost of the circus on showtime. good to see you guys. robert gibbs, you have been keeping a close eye on this georgia election. one makes it so interesting and is there anything we are going to learn from the outcome there? what are you w

one thing she did do was unite brian kemp, the incumbept republican governor and david perdue.ially, you know, saying she was being a hypocrite. my paraphrasing of their tweets. it was a gift to the two republicans. >> and the way it was handled so poorly. they deleted the tweet and she put out a statement dismissing the attacks as silly. the broader challenge right now is they don't seem to have a good rebuttal or countermessage to what republicans have been seizing on. they've been positioning themselves as the party of parents. leaning in to educational and parental issues, leaning into the culture wars. that's been an effective message. it's resonating in suburban battlegrounds. they could say republicans, the reasons we're still in this and why kids are wearing masks is republicans have undermined efforts at every turn to combat the peculiar but democrats have not had a good countermessage. >> she said she only took her mask all while speaking was so children watching remotely could hear her. why doesn't someone in your campaign say -- but there we go. this is proof it's g

last poll he's beating david perdue by seven points in georgia and stacy abrams by five.something about what the endorsement means. >> he caused chaos. we know what happens when you take positions in the primary. he's causing chaos and division within the republican party. i think what the republican party needs to figure out is whether or not they're going to be a party that stands for something or stands for the former president. that is the challenge. what you see in washington is that people are afraid to step over that bright red line of challenging trump. therefore, what they're doing is -- >> less than before. >> yeah. >> thank you very much. >>> up next 50 years since watergate. one of president nixon's top aids and what he learned and whether they might be relevant today. aids and what he learned and whether they might be relevant today. ♪ oh, oh, oh, ozempic®! ♪ ♪ oh, oh, oh ♪ ozempic® is proven to lower a1c. most people who took ozempic® reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. and you may lose weight. adults lost on average up to 12 pounds. in adults also wit

the georgia governor, the primary in the georgia governor's race where david perdue is trying to makeferendum on the big lie and the election, at least in a recent poll perdue is trailing. so, again, i don't think anybody should write trump off but there are some small signs that he's becoming a little bit of old news for some people. >> i want to go back to that polling that shows that more gop voters now identify with the republican party than identify with trump. as you sid, that is a reversal from last year. but how do you analyze that movement and those numbers when the party itself has been remade in his image? >> i think there are people emerging leaders who have out-trumped trump. i think it looks like one of the most likely contender for the gop nomination, if it is not donald trump, it is likely to be ron desantis who has out-flanked trump on denying denying covid and vaccines. that is a place where trump does differ from a lot of his base in that he said he got boosted. he's wanted to take credit for these vaccines when a lot of the party wanted to pretend that these vaccin

senator ossoff defeated david perdue and david perdue's stock trading was a factor in that race.ator ossoff, his proposal to not only require members of congress to stop trading stocks but has very stiff financial penalties if they're found in violation. it would also preclude a spouse, which is something that house speaker pelosi has faced criticism for because her husband is an agentive stock trader. -- active stock trader. what has shifted recently is pelosi has expressed an openness to one of these policies before she would say, you know, even a few weeks ago she said this is a free country. we are a free market and members of congress should be able to participate in the stock market like everyone else. but now she said, if my members want it, let's find something. if that's what the will of the body is, we will go forward. i think that gave the green light to more discussions. now the question is again ossoff has a bill but so do many other members of congress, so which is the bill that moves forward? host: let's hear from james in south dakota, republican line. caller: yea

there is a runoff between brian kemp and david perdue. right now close race. to 50%. whoever does will take on stacey abrams. she lost the race in 2018. close race. wants to get the office again. as she stacks up against the margin of error. close race. if she stacks up against purdue it is razor tight as well, 48/48. a sense of what we're seeing across the country and which ones are super tight. in georgia you've got two really good races now. >> dana: brian robinson. i thought bill laid it out very well. the quinnipiac poll inflation at 23%, election laws, covid and crime at 11%. how do you see the races stacking up? let's start with the senate. >> well, i want to push back a little bit what bill said about the money advantage warnock has. he has lots of money and an incredible fundraiser and established a fundraising base. whoever the republican nominee that money gap will close dramatically. it's the closest stay in the country in 2020 and 12,000 vote margin in the presidential race. we expect razor tight margins again. we could once again be the deciding

trump is supporting david perdue, governor brian kemp refused to overturn the 2020 election which isssman jamie raskin was hit with an ethics complaint. this complaint is stock trading. who is stock trading? ashley: the american account ability foundation filed a complaint with congressional ethics office saying the democrat lawmaker waited, that his wife, sarah bloom raskin received in december. you may recognize the name of president biden's nominee to be the top banking regulator. raskin's wife received $1 million from the stock sale but failure to report the transaction is a violation of the stock act. democrat from maryland admitted and acknowledge the late filing but it happened before their son died in december of 2020 and that's why it was late. ashley: thank you. stuart: more students skipping college been before the pandemic. democrat governors starting to lift school mask mandate. these politicians own apology to the kids. that is next. that was quick. and rewarding. i earn 3% cash back at drugstores with chase freedom unlimited. that means i earn on my bug spray and my su

david perdue he attacked in kemp.s a grace that you have to allow -- that schools still allow masks and then he attacked abrams saying hypocrisy knows no bounds. slicialg what we are seeing is seeing plain out what the mid term debate republicans efforts to roll back scene cools open help keep georgiaens economy flowing great and rebounded. meanwhile abrams and the democrats blame the rapid spread of coronavirus on kemp's inaction that's what they are going to do. republicans said we opened things up. kept the economy alive. democrats are going to say more restrictions are needed. people don't want more restrictions. a brand new poll at the hac "the atlanta journal constitution" so of georgiasen of georgias only 13% think that coronavirus is the number one issue facing georgians, number one issue jobs. >> brian: 70% of americans want restrictions lifted live with the virus getting down to zero is not going to happen. ains ains they want their kids to go outside on the playground and not wear mask. democrats who edge f

interesting on the other side just seeing who your opponent is, stacey you've got one i think david perdue's -- former president trump's endorsement. and brian kemp who you faced last time. do you have a preference who you face who do you think your opponent is going to be, and what will that bring into the dynamic of the election itself? >> well, the republicans fight amongst themselves about who will be their standard bearer. my responsibility is to fight for georgia. and my mission is to focus on building one georgia where we have a diverse economy, a diverse electionorate, where we have opportunities that focus on the needs of communities, rural communities have a different set of needs and while they're having their battles internally, my responsibility is to articulate a plan how we fully fund education going forward, we ensure we pour resources into the economy that actually lift everyone because right now while the numbers look good on the top, people are in pain i mean the conversation you just had with lowe's, these are real challenges people are feeling, and we cannot gloss over
