look no further than lincoln county, georgia. a rural county north of augusta, georgia. that county's elections board was disbanded under the new state law. once they got rid of the existing local elections board, the first order of business for the new board, appointed by republicans, was that they decided they would eliminate six of the seven voting sites in lincoln county, georgia. the proposal from the new republican-appointed board is that this rural county, with zero public transportation, needs only one polling place for the entire county. the new board says having just the one site will somehow make voting easier and more accessible. and it will eliminate the need to transport voting equipment and staff to the remaining sites. yeah you know, it's such a hassle to transport voting equipment and staff to the places where people vote. when you can just put the entire burden on the voters to transport themselves. that's so much easier. one local activist in lincoln county says that single proposed polling place is like 23 miles away from some voters in that county. a

fulton county, georgia, is also the place where most democrats are in georgia.operating an election in fulton county is now a hotbed of threats against the people running those elections, how do you, i don't know, get out the vote under those conditions. how do you get people to volunteer to work at the polls. that is the daunting task facing democrats. big d democrats, and small democrats in georgia. if there is one person whose life experience might make -- picking on that cask, it is probably stacey abrams. georgia voting rights pioneer, the woman who very nearly won georgia's governor race three years ago. stacey abrams has just announced she is running for georgia governor again, she is here live for her first national tv interview since her announcement next. stay with us. stay with us that's why, in difficult times, we provided one hundred and fifty million meals to feeding america. and now through the subaru share the love event, we're helping even more. by the end of this year, subaru will have donated over two hundred and twenty five million dollars to

in dalton, georgia.ve the tm motors plant out in west point -- kia motors plant out in west point. now there is a $5 billion investment by rivian. georgia will be producing electric vehicles sold across the country and around the world, and with the fourth largest deepwater port in the country, the busiest airport in the world, all of our logistics capacity, georgia is emerging as a powerhouse in the sector, not just nationally but globally. emily: as you said, this rivian deal alone will create thousands of new clean energy jobs. will you talk about more about what rivian asks for in return for coming to georgia and what incentive the state provided? senator ossoff: i will defer to state leaders to brief on the state-level incentives that have been offered to secure this investment. my involvement really on the front end helping to ensure that the sk innovation electric vehicle battery production facility was not closed, to make georgia broadly and attractive site for investment in related industries. w

to fight for one georgia, our georgia. now it is time to get the job done. [ chanting stacey ] >> part of the new campaign launch video from stacey abrams who just announced she will mount a second bid for georgia governor next year. stacey abrams narrowly, very narrowly lost the race for governor in 2018 to the guy who holds the job now, republican brian kemp. but two years later in 2020 georgia helped elect a democratic president by going blue for the first time in 28 years. georgia also flipped two u.s. senate seats to hand democrats control of the united states senate. i mean, in georgia it has certainly been a team effort and one of the biggest democratic party electoral success stories of this century. but even though she didn't do it alone, it is inarguably stacey abrams who has laid the foundation for those victories more than any other person you could say that about. joining us now is the newly announced democratic candidate for governor of georgia, stacey abrams. ms. abrams, it is a real pleasure to have you her

on december 6th and a woman named ruby freeman in cop county, georgia, the suburbs of georgia called 911. it was not the first time she called 911 around that time. she had in fact been begging the police for protection repeatedly because she was getting a deluge of threats and harassment. really specific threats over the phone, text, email, over social media, but on the night of december 6, last year, 10:00 at night, december 6, these people who were threatening her turned up at her front door. >> i've been having harassing phone calls and emails and they came out and made a police report yesterday. and last night, about 10 minutes after 9:00, somebody was bamming on the door and now somebody's bamming on the door. oh, they screaming. they still bamming on the door. >> okay. >> they still bamming on the door. lord jesus, where's the police? >> they're on the way, ma'am. >> oh, god. >> ruby freeman is 62 years old. she's the woman on the receiving end of all the vitreal and all the threats and as of december 6, that night, that 911 call last year, it was in-person intimidation and sh

then georgia. then cincinnati. >> brian: i have bama one. georgia two.ee. >> adam: we got your fours. if michigan loses to iowa -- >> brian: then it becomes a question for the committee between baylor and notre dame to take michigan's spot. i go with baylor because they're a conference champ. >> brian: that's going to hurt notre dame not having the conference championship. de facto member of the a.c.c. i would go with notre dame. i can't get past baylor losing to t.c.u. >> adam: which is a second loz as well. as georgia looks -- >> adam: which is a second loss as well. georgia if they have to meet alabama again. >> brian: we talked about the connectivity. if that is real as they talk about it and the love is real it shows itself in adversity. you got hit in the mouth. you're bleeding. fight your way back. those games four weeks from now. i expect their . >> brian: that skull session -- the next one is probably going to be a crying session and after watching this film they're going to see a lot of mistakes were made. self-imposed. give alabama credit but

and that happened in georgia. there has been a change in law, in the election process in georgia. does that mean that you are going to need a cushion on top of a cushion? a number that is too big for them to cheat? >> i get this question all the time. i'm here on this monday, it is literally five weeks until the georgia legislature, the arizona legislature, and so many other states legislatures, come back into session. and they have plans to do more voter fraud conspiracies around fraud and all kinds of maga faction ideas. this is not about that issue, we need the freedom to vote act, we need this passed by the congress as soon as possible. in six weeks, from today. more states are reconvening and we still have not had congressional action. voters, they demand their democracy function. so we are not going to let them break the game. yes, you are correct, all these bills are passing, and they're going to come back and pass more. so we are going to keep fighting those bills. but this is clear, congress must act. we must have a functioning democracy. and to your question on campaign

and is hurting the state of georgia.ed leadership that is looking forward, we need action at the federal level to continue to support our people, but my focus is on making sure that in the state of georgia you're doing everything we can to help our community succeed. >> do you want biden to do more on voting rights? >> i am bullish that the legislation that is sitting in the senate is going to move. we have watched change happen in the last ten months. where we now have all 50 u.s. democratic senators signing up for the freedom to vote act and we have a republican who is joined on the voting advancement act. i think the house is committed to voting rights. we know in january a continuation of the insurrection, this voter suppression activity across the country based on the big lie will rev up once again and we need to see washington, d.c. understand that they are called to protect democracy. and protecting democracy needs passing the freedom to vote act and passing the john louis advancement act. >> you were so close to

despite the fact the voters of georgia voted to not do that. and then when that did not work, he moves to the next link in the chain. he made the now infamous call to the georgia secretary of state, brad raffensperger, where he threatened him to try to get him to overthrow the will of the voters. >> the ballots are corrupt. and you're going to find that they are, which is totally illegal. it's more illegal for you than it is for them because, you know what they did and you're not reporting it. that's, you know, that's a criminal -- that's a criminal offense. and you can't let that happen. that's a big risk to you and to ryan, your lawyer. that's a big risk. 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. >> you hear that? that sort of weird combination of wheedling and pleading and menace. you're going to be criminally liable and just cough up one more vote than we need. that happened on january 2nd. that's four days before congress was set to certify the election. a

because that letter to georgia may have been a criminal. we've confirmed tonight with the source close to the committee that what's in the transcript of that deposition is accurate. one of the things the investigative counsel on the committee wanted to ask jeff clark is about metadata from that letter that suggests it was authored by the white house communications agency. a spokesperson for the committee telling us on the record today, quote, mr. clark will have to -- excuse me will have another opportunity to answer these questions when his deposition resumes tomorrow morning. and we hope he chooses to cooperate fully. well sense since the spokesperson gach the statement this afternoon jeff clark apparently contacted the committee and told them actually he won't appear for the deposition tomorrow morning, not even just to plead the fifth. he has a medical issue he says that means he cabinet come in and testify tomorrow at all not even just to take the fifth. >>> but this story further developed today yet when yet mother lawyer involved in

that happened in georgia. there's been a change in the law in the election processes in georgia. does that mean that you're going to need a cushion on top of a cushion, some number that is too big for them to cheat? >> look, i get this question all of the time. and here on this monday it is literally five weeks until the georgia legislature, the arizona legislature, and so many other state legislators come back into session and they have plans to do more voter fraud conspiracy legislation around fraud and kind of bad maga faction ideas. congress needs to act. this is not a partisan issue. this is about our democracy. we need the freedom to vote act, the john lewis voting rights advancement act passed by this congress as soon as possible. six weeks from today more state go seven weeks, we are about a month out from these legislatures reconvening and still have not had congressional action. voters demand their democracy function. we have not seen the end of them trying to rig the game, lawrence. yes, you are correct. all of these bad bills passed and they'll come back and pass more

georgia, this isn't even a clos call.hy on earth would you want to sink into the decline and decay that we see in blue states across america? georgians don't need abrams to rise to the rescue. they need her to ride into the sunset and for good. that is the angle. joining me now is the host of the candace owen show and founder of, abrams strikes me a not only destructive as a politician, but she feels entitled to the governorship. your reaction? >> she does feel entitled to write i think she is you can sa is true to her black lives matters activist. i'm not talking about illogically throwing racist narratives. she should be the first and people should listen to everything she says simply because she's a black woman. she really does have bad policies and let's not forget, she's also impossibly corrupt. it was her sister that was a federal judge who dismissed and wanted to clean out their voter role in georgia. she wants to make that are not eligible to vote, to make sure that she can win election so sh is someone to watch o

georgia, this is into close call. why on earth you want to sink into the decline and decay we are seeing in blue states across america. georgians don't need abrams to ride to the rescue. they need her to ride into the sunset and for good. that is the angle. joining me as candace owens, host of the campus owens show and founder of black fit. abrams strictly as not only destructive as a politician but she feels entitled to the governorship. your reaction? >> he does feel entitled. you can say true to her soul in black lives matter activists, i don't mean that in a good way, i mean illogically, thinks she should be the first, people should listen to everything she says because she's a black woman and she has bad policies and let's not forget she's also impossibly corrupt, stacy abrams's sister was a federal judge who dismissed cleaning up voter bowls in georgia. she wents to get people in voter bowls were not eligible to vote to make sure she can win elections. i can't imagine why any sane individual would want her leadi

georgia could be the place trump goes for redemption, georgia can also be the place where justice comes for trump. >> you mentioned jeffrey clark and his involvement in the department justice, he has apparently pleaded the fifth now in terms of the subpoena from the committee. there are other layers here as well where we are seeing happen in realtime, is the assembling of people who are willing to do with raffensperger wasn't. but even before we get to that, we have state governments that are controlled by republican state legislators and governors, like in texas. gerrymandering they are maps at the state rep level. and at the congressional level today an announcement for the department of justice, they will be suing texas over its new map. of course they couldn't block it ahead of time thanks to roberts court. which has gutted the voting rights act. and is essentially giving curb launch a case to pursue this kind of extreme gerrymandering, which kind of manages to rig the game before anyone has the counter votes. for he has to do any postelection docking of the secretary of state. >> y

it is a crime that is under investigation already in the state of georgia. if those people who were threatening and intimidating, trying to extort some kind of false confession from ruby freeman under some violence that was going to come to her, if acting on their own behalf, that's potentially crime. if there on behalf of the trump administration or campaign, that's already under investigation by the fulton county da's office and i should tell you, as far as this threat that kanye west's crisis manager lady said she was there to protect freeman from, the threat that in 48 hours people would come to ruby freeman's home and disrupt her freedom, well, according to a lawsuit ms. freeman and her daughter filed against the website that publicly identified them and put them in danger, a crowd of trump supporters did come on ms. freeman's house, just 48 hours after she got the stark warning it was going to happen. that's what happened at her home on january 6th, at the same time pro-trump rioters were ran sacking the u.s. capital in washington dc. ms. freeman was n

alleged dead georgia voters found alive and well after 2020 election. in part, it reads false claims that there were thousands of ballots cast in the names of dead georgia voters can now rest in peace. election investigators found just four absentee ballots in the 2020 presidential election from voters who had died, all of them returned by relatives. in case you didn't hear me, it was four ballots across the entire state of georgia, not the 5,000 that trump claimed that was definitive proof that he had in fact won georgia, but now nearly all republicans running for statewide office in georgia, including the governor who refused trump's -- to save the 2020 election was fraudulent last time have embraced the former president's obsession with voter fraud, almost every single one of them. to win georgia, republican candidates are running on the lie that widespread and out-of-control voter fraud exists, while republicans in the state legislature are actually simultaneously stripping away voting rights from the citizens of that state. joining us now is latosh

so, you know, georgia could be the place trump goes for redemption, but georgia could also be the place where justice comes for trump. >> you mentioned jeffrey clark and his sort of involvement in the department of justice. he apparently has pleaded the fifth now in terms of the subpoena from the committee. there are other layers here as well. what we're seeing happen in realtime is the assembling of people that will be willing to do what raffensperger didn't, right. but even before we get to that, we have state governments that are controlled by republican state legislate chores, in texas gerrymandering their maps at the state level. >> yep. >> and at the congressional level an announcement from the department of justice, they will be suing texas over its new map. of course they couldn't block it ahead of time thanks to the roberts court which has gutted the voting rights act and has given carte blanche in a later case to pursue this extreme gerrymandering which manages to rig the game before anyone counts any votes or before you have to do any post-election jockeying of the secretary

even though georgia is a state that he lost. meadows also repeatedly pressured justice department officials that they needed to open investigations into bogus and bizarre conspiracy theories about supposed fraud. he did that in late december and january. but now today these new revelations showing that meadows was knee deep in the deepest end of this stuff, trying to get states to send alternate electors declaring trump the winner when biden had won. he was knee deep in this stuff in the immediate aftermath of the election. >>> joining us now is a leading member of the january 6th investigation, california congressman adam schiff. congressman schiff, nice to see you. thanks for making time. i know it's a busy night. >> good to be with you. >> what do you make of the fact that mr. meadows is not only not cooperating with the investigation, defying subpoenas from the investigation, but he's now suing members of the investigation, including each of you individually, in addition to the whole committee? >> well, it's a frivolous effo

as we know, georgia's favorite son, dr. the next step after civil rights is silver rights, that we have to have an economic agenda in play. what mr. allen and i are hoping to do is reshape the landmark of what atlanta means historically but in present tense. so we're raising up the barometer of the ecosystem of african americans here in atlanta who are hoping better to catch fire across the country. >> now, let me stay with you a minute, pastor bryant. you joined in with me and others with 200 or more pastors just two weeks ago, both rallied and prayed in brunswick, georgia, outside the trial of three white men charged in the killing of ahmaud arbery when one of the defense attorneys objected to me and others coming in. and we made the call and were gathering in response to that insult to the black church. he said no more black ministers. keep the black pastors out of the courtroom, accusing us at some point of being a lynch mob even though the trial might not have taken place had folks like us had not spoken out and, in sp

so there has to be a push and a movement here in georgia to repeal the bill.g is we need new leadership. the governor was the leader in chief to lead these efforts and to sign and bring this bill forward to punish the voters of georgia. and there's a governors election coming this year, and i think that the best message to send is we have to send them home. there have to be serious consequences to what he has done as well as republicans in this state. the third thing is every single republican, i don't think just in georgia, but all across this nation, should be challenged on the local, the state, and the federal level. we have to literally let people know how serious we are around voter suppression and that we're not going to allow that. and then the fourth thing is we've got to continue to push for federal legislation. we can not outorganize this. what we can do is outorganize ourselves and put pressure points. but it's like a death by a thousand cuts. they brought many tools to actually suppress the vote so we have to bring many tools. >> ms. brown, i know

after the trial, a georgia newspaper man said, if the jury in the frank case had brought in a verdict of not guilty, the defendant would have been lynched. frank was sentenced to hang. anti-judaism figured prominently in the trial. i actually found a letter that frank's mother wrote to "the washington post." in it she decried, and i'm going to quote her words, the insults, the innuendos and the slander directed not only at her son during the trial, but also at their religion. she likened the case -- and this is what i think is so important for us to understand to put it in wider perspective, she likened the case to another fairly recent anti-semitic crisis, the dreyfus affair. i don't know how many have studied it in other classes. i see a few nods. in 1894 in france, alfred dreyfus, who you see here, a jewish captain in the french army, was wrongfully convicted of giving military secrets to the germans. and he was sentenced, not only to life imprisonment, but sent to devil's island, an island off the coast of south america where he was in solitary confinement and actually chained to

we've talked about georgia.h this current version of the republican party is not only motherly bankrupt, but that they are attacking our elections, from removing the secretary of state is as the chair of the state elections board to me pech waiting this big lie that's resulting in real fins being made at county election workers, these volunteers are making a hundred bucks day and should not be subject to the kind of violent, terrific threats that they are, because they're right to do a service. and so the federal voting rights act need a federal standard for how elections are conducted. and in the aftermath of the january 6th election, that 48 out of these 50 united states have introduced anti-voting bills. nearly 400-voting bills. in a lot of ways, georgia serves as a template, a canary in the coal mine for what is coming, but it is not just georgia, it is not just the deep south. >> you and i have been talking about this for so long. and you operate, and so many of you in georgia, because you have been doing t

this squeeze. >> he's still the first life long republican governor ever elected in georgia. of georgia politics and the right with david perdue this iconic figure in georgia gop and now david perdue has opened his campaign based on that big lie. he filed a lawsuit alleging aall sorts of unsubstantiated claims about fulton county ballot counting, he said he wouldn't have certified the election and said he would have called a special session to investigate ballot claims which we know there is no evidence to support. he's open with this. and governor brian kemp, former state elections official, can only sort of point to that law that we were just talking about, to say that georgia has tightened its election restrictions and answered some of the issues that republicans keep bringing up, even though, again, there is no evidence of any sort of rampant fraud. >> thank goodness you're on. we'll be having you on a lot between now and the elections. greg, thanks very much. >> thank you. >>> up next, the white house told us to wait. that reports on inflation were just transitory. remem

win in georgia. and, you know, it's a crime to intimidate or attempt to influence election officials in conducting their official duties. trump is currently under criminal investigation by a state prosecutor in georgia for that call. and for his other attempts to interfere with the conduct of the election in georgia. his other attempts to interfere with and to intimidate elections officials around the carrying out of their official duties. that investigation we believe includes mark meadows' personal visit to georgia about ten days before that call pressuring the secretary of state. a visit to georgia during which mark meadows personally showed up at the site of an ongoing audit of the results. what is the white house chief of staff doing physically, personally, looming over an audit in a swing state? well, earlier this month we learned that one trump lawyer john eastman had personally called up the republican speaker of the house in arizona. he reportedly called legislative staff in arizona as well

that won't be the case in georgia.n, they are thrilled to be running against stacey abrams, but they may not be able to have the conversation until they figure out who will be the nominee for governor. it's an extraordinary situation and one we did not expect to find ourselves in, but that's where we are. >> no kidding. one thing that abrams is already going to be facing is -- well, the republican governors' association is laying the groundwork as well as the republican secretary of state calling abrams out for never formally conceding her loss to kemp in 2018. the secretary of state of georgia was just on cnn this morning and definitely made a point to say this. listen to this, patricia. >> well, after the 2018 race, she never conceded and we ended up with nine lawsuits in my first day of office from her allied groups. i would hope this time, whatever the results are, that she'd have the common grace to accept the results. >> look, as you've laid out, there is a million factors that will be going into this race no mat

georgia law does not allow the governor to reject the results. but purdue's pro coup stance is one sign of how deeply the former president's anti-democratic big lie has become republican dogma. georgia republicans have also wasted no time taking advantage of a provision in their restrictive voting law passed this year allowing state election boards to take control of county election boards. reuters reports they're now racing to purge black democrats from those boards, reorganizing six county boards in recent months through county specific legislation. in one rural county, local judges appointed a white republican to replace a black democrat, giving republicans a one-vote majority. in another, the republican county commission ousted two black democrats from the board. boards in two of the six counties have already moved to restrict access to the ballot. i'm joined now by aaron haynes, editor at large of the 19th, and olivia troye, director of the republican accountability project and former very to vice president pence. let me ask you about georgi

it's imploding in georgia.hill battle because they weaponized administrative process but i want to remind people 2018, the democrats have actually captured two congressional seats, two senate seats, three state senate seats and 12 house of representative seats. i'm saying that to the extent that the state is becoming more diverse and progressive and i don't know whether he's planning a funeral or not but need to figure out how he going to do this over his dead body. >> the thing is georgia looks like california and new york. hollywood is in atlanta. they're shooting more movies in atlanta than they might be shooting in new york and california. when he says look like california and new york. he doesn't mean he doesn't want that money, jason. he means the people of color. it a pretty open dog whistle because what else do you mean by look like california? your thoughts? >> i mean, at this point it's a really terrible commercial because if you're trying to try orange late, i don't like brian kemp so i'll stop stace

i guess we could see this coming, a primary that georgia republicans want to have >> not at all. party in georgi at the very moment they need to be united. they're facing ascendant democrats led by stacey abrams and senator raphael warnock. this is not what the doctor would have ordered for republicans. basically a three-way matchup between three of the most famous political figures in georgia, stacey abrams, brian kemp, and david perdue coming to a voting poll near you in georgia. >> wow, you wrote that governor kemp's allies promised a total war and scorched earth if perdue got in the race. so here we are, what are you expecting? >> well, we're already seeing that promise come to fruition. even in the opening moments of this race, the opening bell goes off and brian kemp's campaign sends out a release saying essentially that everything that republicans have been complaining about in regards to president joe biden is all david perdue's fault because he lost the senate runoffs that gave democrats control of the u.s. senate david perdue's camp hit right back saying that it was bri

there's no evidence of widespread fraud in georgia. ballots were even counted three times there and that suitcase thing is a conspiracy theory that's been disproved. there's that today, and then some separate news about this notorious phone call now that happened right after the 2020 election. not the phone call between then-president trump and georgia's secretary of state that you have heard about, but another one that reuters is reporting today. including the person who reps this guy, rapper kanye west, usually responsible for dealing with paparazzi, or keeping a divorce out of the tabloids, but this publicist used her job to try to interfere with the 2020 election results. she called an election worker and threatened her, and told her to lie, and say she tampered with the election results, the ones that show joe biden won and said if she did not, she would be arrested. we're going to talk about that in a second, but let's bring in greg bluestein. let's talk about this first. you had david perdue announcing this run for governor, and
