perdue has more than $9 million in campaign cash.s the support of president trump who remains popular with republicans. he has the state political apparatus. how do you beat that? >> he's got nothing to run on but widespread disease, mass unemployment, a record of being wrong at every turn about the risk that this outbreak posed to our country and the risk of ignoring scientific and medical expertise. it's fine to have all the money in the world. mitch mcconnell and karl rove are pouring in tens of millions of dollars to try to save david perdue. the reason he's lagging me in the polls is that while he was assuring americans the virus posed a low risk to our health, while he was insisting that the economic impact would be little, and we have the audio, we have the receipts, he was buying shares in a manufacturer of medical ppe, buying shares in a company developing a coronavirus vaccine. not only has he been dead wrong about one of the most significant public health disasters in world history, he was too busy adjusting his own stock

this is from georgia republican senator david perdue. okay. appearing to make democratic candidate's nose bigger. so let me tell you why that is problematic. because osof is jewish. portraying jewish people with large noses is an anti-semitic trope. here's what he said about it. seeing david perdue's ad distorted my face to enlarge and extend my nose. i am jewish. this is the oldest -- this is the oldest, most obvious, least original anti-semitic trope in history. the perdue campaign deleted the ad after a report by the jewish publication the forward after they were called out. a spokeswoman says the size of his nose was an unintentional error, caused by an outside vendor who applied a filter that distorted the image. okay. you can blame it on someone else, for distorting his nose. but, here's the issue. there is more to this ad. look at it again. shows him next to senate democratic leader, chuck schumer, who is also jewish. it says democrats are trying to buy georgia. a suggestion that two jewish people are working together, to buy a u.s. sta

georgia senator david perdue took down this facebook ad featuring a doctored photo that appeared enlarge osoff, that is jewish, after a report in the forward, a jewish publication. >> for my opponent to stoop to this kind of incredibly divisive, inappropriate, offensive tactic, is really disturbing. and it's unbecoming of a sitting u.s. senator. >> reporter: perdue's campaign saying in a statement that the altered image was obviously accidental. and anybody who implies that this was anything other than an inadvertent error is intentionally misrepresenting senator perdue's strong and consistent record of standing firmly against anti-semitism and all forms of hate. the university of pennsylvania's kathleen hall jamieson, who wrote a book on dirty politics, says the pairing of ossoff and chuck schumer, who is also jewish, with a caption referencing "money," is also important. >> when a candidate alters the image of an opponent and also in the same words that tied to that word elicit a stereotype, you can assume they're trying to evoke the stereotype, whether the audience is aware of it or n

perdue: mr. president, i further ask unanimous consent that notwithstanding the provides of rule 22, the senate vote on the motion to invoke cloture on the kan nomination at 11:30 a.m. tomorrow. further, if cloture is invoked on the kan nomination, the postcloture time expire at 2:45 p.m. tomorrow. further, that the cloture motion with respect to the kaplan nomination ripen following the designation position of the kan nomination and if cloture is invoked on the kaplan nomination or, the postcloture time expire at 4:45 p.m. tomorrow. i further ask that if either of the nominations are confirmed, the motions to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table, and the president be immediately notified of the senate's action. finally, i ask that the cloture motion with respect to the mcferran nomination ripen at 11:30 a.m. thursday, july 30. if cloture is invoked on the mcferran nomination, the postcloture time expire at 1:30 p.m. thursday. if confirmed, the motion to reconsider be considered

my opponent, senator david perdue, who is i understand on air force one with the president coming downsident, what do they have to run on? widespread disease? mass unemployment? they've got no record to run on. this state has changed. it's a young, it's diverse, it's vibrant. it's ready for change. the people of georgia are going to stand up and demand that change in november. and all my opponent, who by the way was too busy trading medical stocks in january and february to line his own pockets to get us properly ready for the worst public health crisis in a century, all he's going to do is call up his buddies to flood the airwaves with attack ads here in georgia. we've got mitch mcconnell's groups coming in, karl rove's groups coming in. i need grassroots support to fight back. so i'm asking folks to help out at electjon.com so we can bring home a victory in georgia, the only state with two senate races this year. >> indeed. and of course we will have the republican candidates as well, senator perdue as well, any time they want to come on. thank you so much, jon ossoff. >>> meanwhile,

we gathered in the church, talked to senator perdue.talking about president trump and how president trump didn't have that many friends in washington. i said, praise the lord. [laughter] he is fighting all the democrats and part of the republicans. let me tell you something. you need to pray for your president. if god had not looked across the world and found a man with the guts like donald trump has to do what he does, we would be sunk today. he is a man's man. he is a leader. and he loves the church. i could go on and on telling you the things he has done to bring religious freedom. but we need to think about ourselves as christians in the local church. what is the church supposed to do? every sermon has at least three points. those that don't have five. those that don't have any points are pointless. just getting. -- just kidding. the church, first of all, is a place of inspiration. we allow governors, empty headed governors, and little popcorn mayors to tell the church of jesus christ what it ought to do. i say, get your hands off t

right now we are struggling to do that. , secretary oftion agriculture sonny perdue, i don't believeas done a good job reaching out to small farmers, black farmers to work with them. there is a lot of room for improvement right now. that is the current state of black farmers and small farmers alike. vonnie: i imagine many farmers need to change their crops in to the increased demand from china for certain crops. is that an easy thing to happen? explain how difficult it is for that to happen. john: it is very difficult. farmers basically have two paychecks a year. fall. spring and in the farmers are all about planning. most americans plan within a 30-day cycle to pay their mortgages, bills, car insurance, things of that nature. farmers plan one year out. we need to know what we are doing in advance so that we can have those things in place such as seed, fertilizer. it is all about timing and planting for america's farmers. we need leadership that can put those things in place and lay out what the future of agriculture will look like. right now, farming is in trouble in this country be

perdue of georgia talking with kevin cirilli earlier today.davis of stone core capital, why is president trump going to georgia now? predictably for the better part of the last 30 years. it should not be part of the aslogue in general election, to whether the republican nominee can win in a deep south, red state. every public poll we have seen indicates the president is below double digits, in fact most of the averaging polling in georgia shows him up 3%. is going to protect a state the democrats hope to turn into a battleground state. he is spending money and time. that is to the benefit of the democrats. by having to do that, he is not going to other battlegrounds that could use that time, money and advertising. david: the president's political map is expanding. he will have to fight in more states. what did we learn from the rose garden yesterday? a lot of it was directed to his campaign. what did we learn about his strategy going in? rick: i don't think he anticipated being this far behind, this late in the game. the year plans early, befo

primary on november 3rd that will be resolved by a runoff and then the other senate seat, david perdue's senate seat. we now know that john is-- i can't remember where that was resolved with the primary and then the presidential race, i think in 2016, was 3, 4, 5% and probably will be again. so, yeah, it's a battle ground state. it will be hard fought. remains to be seen how much money the democrats are willing to put in here. how much can they invest. hillary came in here, but not with a huge amount of money and donald trump won it and i think that donald trump will win it again. >> let's finish with this, in your book "for god and country", as a christian i believe that god is in the sovereign nation. could this with the trump presidency, contrary to-- what's the answer? >> if you believe that god is sovereign in affairs of men, women and the nation, then the answer is yes. contraire toy what we expected, and i document in the book, that two-thirds of evangelical voters supported somebody else in the republican primary. he did win the evangelical vote, but in a crowded field. so they u

so did agricultural secretary sonny perdue and of course steven mnuchin does secretary treasury member. that is part of the discussion, but we do see hot spots that the vice president has been visiting the last couple of days that the task force is focused on peer there is an ongoing role for the expertise that the task force is bringing there. >> so when he talks about dr. fauci and that he doesn't really know the president's interest, and very much paraphrasing here, but do you agree with that? do you think that they are torpedoing the economic agenda by giving these issues and warning as dr. fauci did early in the week, mr. secretary that we can see 100,000 cases a day? and that scares people? >> i think the president is guiding this recovery and has been guiding it extremely effectively with a great deal of guidance and input as well from the vice president. i think a lot of different voices are being heard as they should. but we have been making the best decisions possible and the circumstances, again, i think today's numbers which showed growth across a variety of industries. and

doctor dobson has done a wonderful job and what you think the secretary sonny perdue again for his work and ongoing support of our nutritional program. i think over to date we have probably delivered over 30 million meals throughout the state to our families and students at this time. we also received the waiver to not get precise date testing as a close to the previous school year in concert with governor kemp and appreciate that very much, we've also sent a waiver request to the u.s. department of education seeking to eliminate high-stakes testing for the upcoming school year. at this point with me thinks we need to focus on the sides high-stakes testing do we need to make sure our families are safe and secure, our students, our staff come let anything get back at adjusting a taking something off the plate we can deal with later in a more appropriate manner is something that is very valuable and we encourage washington d.c. to accept this waiver. we are also introducing i'm not high-stakes assessment tool called beacon. this will be made available to all districts so they can support

with secretary perdue earlier this year and his scheme, this isn't a left or right issue, it's all ofve. we need to use technology in line with nature to give farmers the tools needed to grow with 30 times more yield per acre and bring the food production back to the u.s. we are vulnerable through covid, but it doesn't need to be this way in the years to come and i'm hopeful that the investment community along with leadership in d.c., we will see farming modeled across the u.s. after what we are doing here in eastern kentucky. thiswho is leading technology right now? i have seen similar things in terms of the act tech that you are talking about in israel, spain, the netherlands, obviously, a leader in this space. where is the innovation coming from right now that you can harvest to build into your business and how do i differentiate between the various companies trying to deliver what you are delivering? it's a great question, and the netherlands has all the solutions our world needs. one third the size of our landmass in kentucky, second-most agricultural exports. they are already do

ultimate soap box while campaigning, but now this includes, for example, agricultural secretary sonny perdue, he was in a strawberry field the other day, interior secretary, vip party go up to republican dinner in south dakota, how is the trump campaign pushing to now rely on surrogate and cabinet members? >> your tax dollars at work. this is not unusual. i mean, you get everybody out on the field to make the case for your candidacy. and he's using the cabinet to do that as well. he has some pretty stiff head winds, as you know. the polls have been showing that he's falling behind nationally and in the key battleground states. there's unhappiness with the coronavirus progress. there seems to be two discussions going on. one is in the mind of the president, where he's kind of fighting this campaign on the basis of sort of culture wars, racial politics, you know, the monuments issue, much of the rest of the country is thinking about something else, that's the coronavirus, hitting 130,000 deaths already, spreading in california, arizona, florida, other places. so he's changing the subject a bit

sonny perdue is joining us now to react to that. good morning and welcome and thanks for being here this morning. obviously the administration sees the need to do this, what are your thoughts this morning that this is needed? >> i do hope that we can do this peacefully. all of us agree that our first amendment rights are very important and protest, peaceful protests. vandalism and taking down structures and creating damage is not the first amendment so i hope that we can have a great fourth of july celebrating the independence of our nation peacefully. >> sandra: you know mr. secretary, so many of us see what happening top of the hour, we had a report on the ground there in new york city where you saw a vote tooth/a billion dollars from the police budget there. all the scenes playing out in u.s. cities across the nation. americans look on and wonder where this all goes and what happens next with all this? what do you think? >> sandra for those of us who are old enough we survived a lot of things. america will survive, we will not on

georgia's democratic senate candidate jon ossoff is slamming a facebook ad by republican senator david perdue as anti-semitic. the now-deleted ad seemed to enlarge ossoff's nose while leaving the rest of his face unchanged. in response, ossoff tweeted, "i'm jewish. this is the oldest, most obvious, least original anti-semitic troupe in history." in a statement to the "washington post," the purdue campaign blamed, quote, an outside vendor who applied a filter that distorted the image. it's also notable that on that image, he appeared with chuck schumer, senate majority leader, who also, just coincidentally, happens to be jewish. purdue's campaign says it was accidental but that it would remove the ad to ensure there is absolutely no confusion. ossoff's wife, by the way, is battling coronavirus. as of this morning, ossoff has tested negative. >>> the situation in florida. what is it as we speak this morning? the mayor of miami beach sounding a warning that contact tracing an utter and complete failure and blaming the governor for failing to contain the virus. >>> and the debate over how best to
