jon ossoff and raphael warnock.ause] [cars honking] jon ossoff understands what it means to be a small business owner. he owns a business with one singular objective, to root out corruption. and we picked the perfect target, david purdue. warnock has led his ledch -- rafael warnock has his church and lead his community with values, and we have the perfect person for him, and that is kelly loeffler. raffaellassoff and ael warnockand raffaella get to the u.s. senate we get , the better deal that we need. we get the change that we need. we get the progress that we need. let's put it into context. you see, while 161,000 georgians faced eviction this year if we don't get relief. david purdue and kelly loeffler anddavid purdue and kelly loeffler are writing strongly worded letters to a baseball team. while 160,000 people were not able to sleep inside at night, they are worried about the name of a baseball team. while we know one in four businesses in georgia have disappeared in 2020, kelly loeffler and david purdue are su

but we need raphael warnock and jon ossoff.ause they know it is a requirement, it is a right, and we will have it when we send them to washington, d.c. [cheering] at a time when our economy is in peril, when people who proclaim to be capitalists seem to only believe in capitalism for themselves, when we need money for our families and businesses to help our communities, while kelly loeffler and david perdue watch mitch mcconnell burn our economy down, and they stand behind it, we need to send our firefighters and first responders, we are sending raphael warnock and jon ossoff to d.c. to save america. [applause] and in a moment where racial justice or economic justice or invention -- ornamental lefflerare on the line, poses with a kkk leader. and they were to -- and david purdue has a problem pronouncing the letter k. we don't have to win for them to learn to do their job. we have raphael warnock and jon ossoff, and they will get the job done. so i'm here to ask you one more time. i talked to you, i said we needed to make a plan

we will joined by jon ossoff later in the hour. because as you know, it's all the up to georgia and what will be reporting on in february, march, april, depends on what happens in january and who is in control of the senate.en so we are staying with that story. the campaign, because there is nothing more important happening out there right now. >> i was just talking with paul this hour about the economic challenges, and may be are worse than we have perceived and the economic team that was announced by biden and what they're going to have to do to try to turn it around, and he unprompted said it depends on what happens in georgia. everything depends on georgia. that is where policy -- that will be the reason we either get policy that works or we don't. it's all down to georgia. >> i saw that, and when economists, you ask them a question, the answer depends on the assumptions and that is what he needs to know. what kind of senate we need to talk about. in order to talk about what is going to happen next. thank you, rachel. >> thanks

we talked earlier about jon ossoff i don't think broke 40%. we got the votes out there.'ve got to go get them, we've got to turn it back out. we also have to realize that democrats are doing the same thing. >> laura: when you can't be afraid, governor. sorry to interject but i think so many people gravitate toward trump nationwide, the largest turnout for any republican president. is that he is a fighter, he's a fighter. he's unafraid to call people on your you know why. you get the sense that people are afraid of stacey abrams, afraid of being called racist, the decrease in everything that happened hobbled the party on the mail and voting. i won't harp on it but it's really sticking in people's crown. i hope that i know you saw the hearing today. the blur here tonight because i don't want the republicans to win back and i'm so grateful that you can. >> right there with them, we will work with everybody to make it happen. >> laura: governor, thank you for coming tonight. brian kemp here on "the ingraham angle." the failed governor candidate stacey abrams and raphael warn

you are back on the campaign trail today for jon ossoff, tomorrow for raphael warnock.seeing out there, especially in response to this weekend's debate, last night's debate where david perdue did not even show up? >> it's good to be with you, lawrence. what i'm seeing is a lot of enthusiasm. i think that the people of georgia understand how important the stakes are here. they understand that what happens here in georgia is going to affect not only all georgians but also all of us as americans. i think most folks get, and what they saw in the debates last night reinforced this, that in senators loeffler and perdue they've had two people that in georgia's most critical moment of need have chosen to serve themselves, to enrich themselves, to benefit their friends, instead of working on behalf of the people of georgia. what they see in raphael warnock and in jon ossoff are two folks who are committed to serving the people of georgia, who are talking about the issues that matter, health care, jobs, getting small businesses back up and going, housing opportunity, as many peop

for example, jon ossoff has a huge china scandal he has not come clean on yet.t makes eric swalwell and hunter biden situation small in comparison. this is a man i'm running against that took money from the chinese communist party for two years, hid it, lied about it, got caught, came clean and lied about it again. so we have a lot of questions people of georgia are asking about and raphael warnock has said not only does he want to defund the police he calls them thugs, criminals. these are people the eventual democrats i'd come if these are the two types of people to represent georgia, they are outp with most georgians. these are the most liberal candidates i can remember my lifetime the democrats putting it for any state. the people of georgia are beginning to realize that, to me. >> tammy: i would hope so, george is a great state. senator thank you very much. transcends politics and the american future. this is one issue we can do for people with the problem with certain republicans are doing. that can be addressed later on but keep our eye on the prize here.

you've got swalwell, hunter and joe, no we have jon ossoff. >> that is interesting. he hit it. it when he began the campaign to lay out the customers and climates of his media company. he laid out that nine of his first ten projects were paid for by the gutter government, the government that underwrites welch's ear, it ale jazeera itself that was the client. what he didn't reveal was he had done work for a chinese media company as a minority stockholder for the chinese communist party. he waited until after the democratic party, then filed an amendment and laid out that he had gotten paid money by this company. it's owned in part by the chinese communist party. you can't make this stuff up. it's unbelievable. there's nothing -- >> sean: it you watch ujoe biden today, how dismissie and defensive he was about hunter, where not talking about small amounts of money here. we are talking about russian oligarchs, because i, cosmic oligarchs, brie smoke, ukraine, the private equity deal which is a billion, and a national shopping spree >> i was unsettled by the president-elect comments

matt, both jon ossoff and raffaella warnock are running against president trump. that seems to be their strategy, but you have president trump out here saying i want $2,000 for covid relief. that is a tough message to run against, isn't it? >> no because you came in way too late. >> leland: matt, really, matt, hold on. we all pay attention to the stuff minute-by-minute and on twitter reading it, but the generic georgia voter pay attention to it every second? president trump came in too late so therefore we don't get credit. i'm standing up for the workers, and i want a $2,000 check. democrats aren't providing it. isn't that a talking point democrats have to deal with? >> matt: they may try, but as you noted, warnock has a lot of money to communicate. they will communicate to georgians this was trump coming in at the last minute with no rationale, surprising the

that is why we need jon ossoff and warnock.have spent their lifetimes their work helps actually georgiaens, understanding lives and doing the work necessary to get them to the relief they need. >> while kemp hasn't done much more rural hospitals and covid relief and anything for people losing their jobs, one thing he's dedicated to is voter suppression. what kinds of challenges are republicans throwing up to prevent people from expressing voices in the run off. changing poll sites and times to early vote. what challenges are you and other organizations facing when it comes to voter suppression? >> we have been successful in helping expand access to early voting locations. i was in cob county one of the counties that shut down several of the locations that were active during the general election. i was at the community center and the line was out the door. and down the street. it was moving quickly. we also know that true the vote, texas based conservative organization that prides itself on voter intimidation sued -- challenging

and david perdue refused to participate in a debate against his opponent, democrat jon ossoff, so ossoffs a senior cnn political analyst. he joins me now from los angeles. always great to have you with us. >> so great to be with you. >> we watched the debate between republican kelly loeffler and democrat raphael warnock as they battled it out in advance of the senate runoff election in georgia. which one came out on top, and what do the polls show in terms of what each one has to do to win this this very close election. >> so far the polling has shown raphael warnock ahead, the caveat being it is really hard to poll for a special election because you havele less certain about who is going to show up and vote than you do in a normal election. in this previous november, we saw once again, the polls underestimated how many of trumps nonurban, noncollege white supporters would turn up. you saw that kelly loeffler was completely invest insteed in a message, robotically, over and over again, that raphael warnock was a radical liberal tool of chuck schumer, you could see from the debate she has

they won't do. >> jon ossoff, raphael warnock, they're running to represent georgia. georgia. they'll actually fight for you, represent you, stand up for you. they won't put texas first. they won't put donald trump first. they won't put themselves first, either. they'll put you first. the people of georgia. >> in his closing remarks today, president-elect biden quoted georgia's beloved congressman, john lewis, who died in july. >> vote for both john and raphael and remember the final words left to us by congressman, my dear friend and american hero, john lewis. remember what john said, he said, "the vote is the most powerful nonviolent change you have in a democratic society and you must use it because it's not guaranteed. you can lose it." so use it. you have the power to win this election again. let your voices be heard so the voice of georgia can be heard. there's nothing beyond our capacity. there's no limit to america's future. the only thing that can tear america apart is america, itself. so let's choose hope over fear. unity over division. science over fiction.

abby, you hear what jon ossoff had to say.ow does it stand up to arguments being made by president trump? >> well, i mean, the arguments being made by president trump about the election, specifically, are completely invented and have no basis in fact. and i'm not saying that that's what's being said by judges all across the country, as they dismiss these cases one by one. and there is no track record of any kind of victory, on any of these fronts. so, the president is really kind of spitting in the air. and i thought it was notable, tonight, that he is already starting to pass the blame in georgia. blaming republicans who he calls rhinos. like, secretary of state, brad raffensperger. and lieutenant governor and even the governor, brian kemp. and saying that it would be their fault if kelly loeffler and david perdue lose their seats. it seems to suggest that the president is sensitive to this idea that he is not doing enough because, at the rally over the weekend, he spent so much time talking about all of these fantasies of vo

otherwise they'll stop criminal justice reform in its tracks. >> jon ossoff, we'll have to leave it therendidate for the senate there in georgia. thank you, mr. ossoff. priscilla thompson, solid work in atlanta which appears to have become your second home. thank you as well. >>> let's turn now to michael starr hopkins founding partner of northern starr strategies, served on the president campaigns of barack obama and hillary clinton as well. michael, let's start with what priscilla asked jon ossoff about there, this idea that he's up against tens of millions of dollars in negative ads. what else are democrats up against there in georgia? >> i think the big thing right now is republicans' efforts to suppress the vote. i think it's smart for democrats to spend more money on get out the vote efforts than it is on ads at this point in the election cycle. voters know which party they're aligned with. the real effort now needs to be to turn out voters. it's smart to hear ossoff talk about the stimulus payments and what's going on in georgians' homes in terms of finance and stimulus funds. that

potent political forces. >> if we vote like our lives depend on it because they will, we will elect jon ossoff. >> reporter: ossoff's opponent is republican senator david perdue. >> if jon ossoff wins, they control washington, but georgia can stop them. >> reporter: the other republican incumbent, kelly loeffler is fiercely attacking her opponent. >> warnock is a radical, wrong and dangerous. >> reporter: reverend warnock and alvin the beagle responded. >> what i think georgians will see her ads for what they are, don't you? >> reporter: total ad spending crossed $300 million. spending by the incumbents and republican backers topped the democrats by $50 million. the georgia runoffs are the most expensive senate races of the 2020 cycle. but the campaign legal centers brendan fischer offers this warning. >> voters are exhausted. they've just been through a hotly contested presidential race. they just voted in november and may not be motivated to vote again in january. >> especially when this waitress is just trying to survive financially during co-vid. >> it doesn't make sense. to come home from

president-elect joe biden will be coming here to campaign for jon ossoff and raphael warnock. have also held fundraisers with nancy pelosi, with elizabeth warren. when you look next door a few years ago when doug jones was running for the senate in alabama, he was really selective about the democrats, the national democrats that he would be associated with. what does this biden campaigning, the pelosi and warren fundraising tell you about how this is changing? >> it's a sea change. you can look at jon ossoff's congressional run, a different time and a smaller district, but he did the same thing three years ago where he distanced himself as much as he could from nansz si nancy pelosi and liberal figures and now you're seeing the opposite. there's a couple of reasons for it. one is of course now democrats have a path to victory in georgia and president-elect biden showed it. the other is it is a purely based turnout of election. democrats need all of the support they can get. they can't afford to turn off the left flank of the party or the centrist flank of the party. that's why

campaigning for jon ossoff and warnock. and one of the things i said to your point is in my time in the senate, the four years i have been here, i have seen the power of an individual senator. and highlighted probably most for me by that evening into the early morning hours on the senate well when there was a battle over whether or not we would retain or get rid of the affordable care act. and the late great mccain said no. and i talked about that in georgia today. they have the opportunity to elect not one but two senators who could change the ballot and in terms of the out come on issues about the affordable care act. working families, about the variety of issues that are presented today in the united states senate. and that's why i was there president-elect biden was there last week. because we know that we intend to work closely with all people in the united states congress. regardless of party. on some issues we just know and have to believe that if we have the majority in the senate, it maybe easier to do things like

we cannot have jon ossoff. purdue and loeffler are the only palatable choices for the american people in georgia. >> dan: don't take dan bongino's work, listen to warnock himself. it's on video. the fidel castro thing, socialism worked so well for the democrats in florida in the 2020 election when they got annihilated and lost double-digit percentage points in miami-dade here in florida where they used to do much better. this stuff is all on video. we don't have to speculate. it's out there for you to see. welcoming fidel castro? this guy was a murderer. you can see in on video. it's all out there. >> this is next level leftism. it's all out there. it's another aoc and perhaps even worse than aoc if that's even possible. on top of that you've got a scandal at this church camp he ran where this horrible victim, this victim spoke out in this horrible thing happened to him when he was doused with urine and locked outside. this individual should not be running for any sort of office and this is why it's so importan

this is who georgia democrats raphael warnock and jon ossoff had headlined their event today.l they denounce this disgusting individual, wrote nathan brando the national republican senatorial committee? ossoff and warnock have ignored repeated. 18-year-old mimi groves, "the new york times" chronicled the plight of a virginia cheerleader who had her world up ended by something she said four years ago. in 2016 mimi groves recorded a 3-second video in which he used a racial slur. in late 2019 fellow high school student jimmy galligan solve a clip online. in the middle of this year after george floyd's death he posted the video and mimi became the center of a national social media firestorm. quickly the university of tennessee's cheerleading team canceled mimi groves' roster slot and she withdrew from the university back in june. the timing of the coverage doesn't make sense to fox news contributor joe concha. >> how is this a story if that video was released in june? why are we talking about it now? "the new york times" lionize and cancel culture this puts it on a national stage.

joining me is the former mayor of -- her mucher opponent, jon ossoff is the democratic challenger. she's rooting for him. teresa, thank you so much for joining us. very much so. >> so talk to me. >> jon and reverend warnock. >> that's right. you obviously are rooting for both of them, ossoff and warnock, but tell us why you think they can win in a state that just went blue in the presidential contest, bus of course the contest for the senate race is different dynamics. >> we know we've had more democrats in georgia than republicans for about the past five or six years, it's just they didn't vote as often. when they did vote, they had trouble getting their votes counted. then came stacey abrams, latasha brown, many others, and we've remedied some of the systemic issues. now you see with the pop layers of mail-in balloting, already 1 million people have requested mail-in ballots for this runoff election. frankly, also, the stakes are much higher. we're having this higher engagement, particularly because they are, you know, we're unsettled, we're exhausted with instability that's been
