we heard from high gop commentator commentators, erick erickson, concerned.ver the last hour, where trump is rallying tomorrow, one told me trump's performance was despicable. another said i'm not sure anything can help our hurt perdue and loeffler at this point, the third told me actually cost republicans the election. a lot obviously depends on whtrp says tomorrow. a pretty conservative area that did not turn out in high numbers during the early voting period and really have to show up tuesday to help perdue and loeffler win. >> loeffler was scheduled to be there alongside president trump tomorrow, when he visits here. david perdue has been off the campaign trail because he's self-quarantining because he says he was near someone who tested positive for covid. do you see that loeffler would continue with that date and be alongside the president? i mean, she has boasted of voting with the president 100% of the time, but when you have a recording like this, do you want to be a party to this? >> i wouldn't, but i think she's in too deep at this point. his narra

were also making about what's at stake here, prominent georgia conservative talk radio host erick ericksonout president trump, "some republicans are convinced he'd rather the gop lose georgia. otherwise, it is hard to claim the democrats could engage in a transcontinental conspiracy to steal the presidency but couldn't use the same voting machines in georgia to steal the senate." and therein is the problem, michael, that you were hinting at. if he wins and he has to say oh, we just -- we eked it out here and no shredding, it was all good this time, but not last time. do you think it's possible that he'd rather lose the whole thing, lose it for the gop, to back up his own claims? >> i don't think so. because if they lose, and i think it will be all or nothing, if they lose he'll be tagged with the loss and he'll be tagged with the loss because of this conflict of saying it's all rigged. oh, by the way, come out and vote in a rigged election. so i don't buy into that. >> all right. thank you both very much. we'll be talking to you tomorrow. thanks so much. and next, breaking news. new york j

juan, we were digging through an article by erick erickson saying listen i know this state inside and and some things people are missing. he talked about on the ground, he talked about black farmers potentially being a big win for purdue. because he and asked secretary sonny perdue were instrumental after hurricane michael trying to get relief for farmers as they were so desperate in the southern part of the state. they talk about that that may be one of the reasons he could outperform kelly loeffler. what is your take on where we stand tonight? >> juan: i want to pick up on what dana said. if you look at the numbers, you know, clearly highly partisan republicans have stayed with the two republican candidates. democrats though especially black democrats have over performed what they did in the november presidential general election. this is really true picking up on what you are talking about, shannon. if you look at the so-called black belt across the middle of the state, which you go from like a gust of come across to columbus, right in the middle of the state, those are heavily bl.

eric erickson, who lives in georgia, was writing about the support for, say, senator david perdue inin that part of the state because of the help that he brought to those farmers after hurricane michael. see, it's local issues like that that kind of national political observers or people outside the state don't often see or realize. >> that's a good point. and there are a lot of those type of issues. kelly loeffler and david perdue have both done a really good job, trying to focus on georgia and the issues of georgia and the hurricane that came through was devastating a few years ago and the entire georgia delegation came together to try to help out on that and of course the various specific that are taking place in georgia along the way, all those types of things have been critical to georgia's economy remaining among the strongest in the country. but again, the broader issue is what really is at stake here between socialism and freedom in our country and so i think people are understanding this is not just about two senators from georgia. it is much bigger than that. and that's why

georgia van johnson and conservative radio host eric erickson, host of atlanta news.ou heard the president-elect say he was optimistic, excited about the prospects. but there was a call a few moments ago with expert carl rove with donors, and he said they expect that turnout today, and if happens, they expect they have the victory at hand. who do you think has the edge? >> i think it's very clear the excitement is here, the motivation is here, the drive is here. georgia has recognized the place they play at this time in history, and i believe that we'll have two new senators by the time this process is over. >> eric, it would be a pretty incredible thing to happen. just giving the context here, you haven't had a democratic senator candidate winning in georgia in 20 years, right, so it would be a history-making thing if you have not one, but two seats go democratic. what are you seeing, eric? >> i know, i've talked to a lot of republicans and democrats across the state right now, and the presumption seems to be that david perdue probably is going to win. no one is real

in fact as eric erickson wrote on twitter this morning he was saying that you have to be blunt, you alsomention that the left wing you partisans for years have been advocating for to harassing bullying defaming good people people on the right and people who went into the trump administration, so i want you to speak to what your own daughter when she was press secretary had to endure in lexington virginia, all of this needs to stop governor. >> well it does, dagen, you know,, for example, i think the way my daughter responded to the way she was thrown out of a restaurant bullied harassed at the white house correspondents dinner set the right tone do on to he oez what you would have them do on to you she didn't scream that she got up quietly gathered linings left, let scorn fall upon bully restaurant owner when hid eeous comedian wasn't very funny tried to harass her on television she didn't stand up throw a plate of food at her set there quietly with benign smile after said simple it says more about her than me that is how we handle that two wrongs don't make a right how my mother raised
