"seth, this is raphael warnock's mother, ralphie has locked himself in the bathroom and says the onlyn the next hour. this one blew my mind. "seth, mitch mcconnell is rock hard and cackling because he knows you won't spare $6 for lieutenant governor john fetterman's campaign. this one, "seth, michele obama is threatening to divorce barack because you haven't donated today. "seth, are you alone there are dozens of single and horny democrats facing tough down ballot races in your area --" i don't even know what - this one was -- i mean, "seth, look out your window, do you see us [ light laughter ] no well we see you because we're watching you, seth we're always watching you. funny how you have money to order seamless on consecutive nights but not enough to respond to us. hope the potstickers you ate while watching 'white lotus' were as good as they looked. and hey, why not chip in $5 to act blue now?" "seth, we need to give you $15 before midnight for --- oh shoot, what? no, ha, that's not right we give you money? in what universe okay, we'll get ourselves together and try again soon. s

matter movement, her players went out and fund raised and supported her opponent, now senator raphael warnock. all of those are examples of individuals supporting their political candidates. in fact, the co-owner of the magic, betsy devos, as we know, was trump's education secretary. she's an individual. what upsets these players so much is that this donation was not made on behalf of betsy devos or dick devos. it was made on behalf of the team. you have players and coaches and executives who have come out publicly with very different beliefs and opinions than desantis'. now their names are being used in association with this donation. and more importantly, as the players association statement pointed out, it's their labor. money for nba teams, the orlando magic's money that they donated to ron desantis, doesn't come from a magic tree elf. it came from the work of those players on the court. and the fact that their work has been turned into a contribution for someone running for president who has come out with statements that they think directly oppose who they are as people, it's very diffic

voters, the young voters in georgia that turned out in 2020 and in the midterms for jon ossoff and raphael warnocke not going to be impressed by a donald trump mugshot he sure. this is not helping him with the georgia swing voters that he would need to win a general election. that's absolutely true. it's just that none of the guys running against him in the primary have figured out a way to make him heard with primary voters, and maybe a big part of that is that all the, except christie, are too scared to actually confront him on it. >> amy, what's your take on mike pence finally taking a turn, for the first time saying the election was not stolen in georgia, say he was not in a position where he could do with donald trump wanted him to do? do you see a lane for mike pence? it seems mike pence is just hoping that maybe if the doj gets, and there will be a lane for me. >> well, the short answer is i don't see a lane for him. but here's the thing. mike pence, he is no profile in courage. he did the right thing on the 6th of january. great. but in the military, there's this old saying, you know, you

. >> i'm raphael warnock, and i approve this message. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: can't say i blame you. today was -- it was a rough day for the despicable and ridiculous alex jones today. alex jones was ordered today, by a jury in connecticut, to pay $965 million in damages to the families of eight victims of the sandy hook massacre, which he repeatedly called a hoax. he tormented these families. accused them of faking their children's deaths. in august, a jury in texas ordered him to pay about $50 million to the parents of another victim of sandy hook. which means between the two cases, he now owes these parents over a billion dollars in damages. i guess the good guys just won the infowars is what happened there. [ laughter ] alex, of course, says he won't pay a cent. he declared bankruptcy to try to protect himself. and had a full-on hissy fit as the verdict was read. >> so proud of our work. this is the devil coming after us. i feel good about the work i've done and the listener support. this corrupt dying political system wants to try to make you the devil, i'

straight out of the gate, it shows, for example, senator raphael warnock and georgia. 84% asian americand state. he produced ads in mandarin, korea, and vietnamese to mobilize asian american voters carrying 78% of that vote in the runoff. he won. so, talk to our viewers about why even though aapi voters have been a strong block, they are very appealing to both sides of the aisle. >> that is right, katie. asian american voters have arrived as a force in the american electorate and the last presidential election makes that abundantly clear. this has been understood to be a fast growing demographic. it's never been enough of a share of the electorate. it is still a small, share it's very clear that i'm asian americans are punching above their weight when it comes to political power. in the 2020 election, i was just stunned to learn some of these statistics. here president biden won 72% of the asian american vote. trump won just 28%. it was a crushing defeat. the turnout jumped, as you pointed, out from 49% in 20 -- in 2020. it was the largest jump of any racial or ethnic group when it comes

for georgia, where the race will head to a runoff after herschel walker finished second behind raphael warnocknow republicans have also lost the race for control of the senate, after news organizations projected democratic wins in the key states of arizona and then nevada >> fox news alert, the democrats will maintain control of the senate the fox news decision desk has called nevada's nail-biting senate race in favor of incumbent democrat catherine cortez masto over republican challenger adam laxalt. that gives the democrats the 50 seats they need to retain the majority control >> seth: what? but the space lizard and his sasquatch friend told me there would be a red tsunami [ laughter ] but, man, for the news to come from fox of all places, they're the ones who told us there'd be a red wave in the first place. this is like your weatherman telling you it's going to rain all week, and then after you cancel all your plans, tells you it's actually 75 and sunny, so fold up those umbrellas. or, if you don't know how, just leave it at the top of the stairs like an insane person [ laughter ] "am i cr

oh, yeah, hats way off [ laughter ] democratic senator raphael warnock and republican challenger herschelker are set to head to a runoff on december 6th to decide georgia's senate race. and if you think georgia's election process is confusing, imagine trying to explain it to herschel walker. [ laughter ] pennsylvania lieutenant governor john fetterman defeated republican candidate dr. mehmet oz yesterday -- [ cheers and applause in the state senate race oz says he's just happy he doesn't have to pretend to root for the philadelphia steelers anymore. [ laughter ] democrat maxwell frost yesterday became the first member of generation z elected to congress while chuck grassley recorded another win for generation-zzzurggh. [ laughter ] texas senator ted cruz was booed this week at the houston astros world series championship parade as well as the bank, the grocery store, his office -- [ laughter ] and at his house all in all, pretty average week for ted cruz president biden and former president barack obama posted a video on twitter this week reminding people to vote you know, it's nice to se

voters the young voters in georgia, that turned out in 20, 20 in the midterms, for john -- and raphael warnock-shirt. that is not helping him with the georgia swing voters that he would need to win a general election. it is absolutely true, none of the guys running against him in a primary that figured out a way to make the primary voters, and a big part of that is all except christie are too scared to confront him on it. >> amy, what is your take on mike pence finally taking a turn for the first time, saying the election was not stolen in georgia, saying he was not in a position where he could do what donald trump wanted him to do. do you see a lane for mike pence? it seems as though mike pence is hoping, maybe if the doj gets, him there will be lane for me? >> well, the short answer is, i don't see a line for him. the thing is, mike pence, he has no profile in courage, he did it the right thing on the 6th of january, great. but in the military, there is this old saying, you do not get a medal for just doing your job. he did his job. awesome. what is sad about all of this though, for the last

and i was like, what then stacey abrams lost, and i was like, what and then the race between raphael warnockhel walker was too close to call, and i was like, what for the first time, i was like maybe there is voter fraud because there is no way someone would want to give this man an ounce of power if you put this man in charge of georgia, he's only going to get it pregnant, take it to another state, and get it an abortion. [ laughter ] oh, no i'm too late aw that's at least six months right there. and then even though she's the one who made him famous, oprah said to not vote for dr. oz, and i was like what? girl, she created him, and then he lost his mind, so she had to stop him so, remember, don't call him winfrey. call him winfrey's monster [ laughter ] then i found out that 25-year-old maxwell frost got elected to congress, and i was like, "go ahead, gen z, what-what? and he was like, "no one says what-what anymore. and i was like, "okay, dang, children." then i heard the gop is turning away from trump, and i was like, what but then i found out that they're turning towards ron desantis, a

in 2021, senators jon ossoff and raphael warnock beat that trump endorsed senate candidates in 2022. almost all of trump's endorsed candidates lost in statewide elections. so, now, you've got georgia, there is the home of not just his political defeats, also his biggest legal peril. to my, opinion of all these four cases. >> greg, in terms of what's happening in fulton county, and what is due to happen, obviously, trump today was at the fulton county jail. he may or may not be in person at his arraignment, which we believe will happen right after labor day, at least that's what fani willis has asked for the arraignment to happen. i just wonder, locally, in terms of the atmosphere, and the ongoing nature of this, as a spectacle in georgia. this is gonna cost a lot of money. it's gonna result in a lot of traffic tie ups. it's going to result in a lot of disruption at the justice center, where you are now. i wonder, if you can see what the horizon might look like, on that score for your community. >> yeah, there's significant pushback, especially among considering georgia, they're surpr

senate herschel walker went down in defeat to raphael warnock.ead matchup with ron desantis. it shows that ron desantis is nowhere close to striking distance to donald trump in georgia, but at the same time, it also shows, well, what it doesn't show is where middle of the road georgia voters sit. this is likely republican voters, and we have seen a defection of a lot of middle of the road, swing independent voters who used to vote traditionally for republicans in georgia, but in the trump era, they no longer are. that's the block of voters that could decide this election. >> senior white house officials have long said georgia would be the hardest state to keep to win again this time around. they think it would be harder if it were not donald trump atop the ticket, greg, but certainly right now, all indications are that it will be trump again as the republican nominee. in that hypothetical, let's say those poll numbers hold, and trump sweeps through georgia and he's the gop standard bearer again. what do you think happens for governor kemp and sec

one person who took note was raphael warnock. well. a lot of voters in those suburbs are aapi voters. one of the unique things about aapi voters, overall a small share of the electorate, but uniquely powerful in swing states. it looks like trump is going to be on the ballot again. there's not a lot he or his party have done to try and win back those voters that he alienated with that kind of inflammatory rhetoric. >> you know, mika, i was born and raised for the first five or six years of my life in doraville, georgia. it was the suburbs of atlanta. when i went back in the '90s, there were so many signs as you drove through the doraville area, you saw a lot of asian americans and asian american businesses. sahil's point that georgia is a really critical place in the battle for this extraordinarily important demographic really rings true to me. >> amazing as we're watching the legal part of this play out in georgia as well. >> reverend al, there are costs whenever donald trump says racist things about elaine chao or his own secret

got blown out of the water, and then in the key senate race with raphael running against herschel walker, the trump-backed opponent, warnockmocrats maintained control of the senate. so there is already a track record of georgia voters willing to move on from donald trump. and brian kemp is the case in point. he has been beating the drum. anybody who focuses on 2020 instead of 2024 is not going to have a good time. so, with this trial, you have the potential for not just in georgia, other states where trump and his allies tried to overturn the election, looking at this televised trial of rehashing what happened when trump tried to overturn the election, heading into the 2024 election. you might see these other swing states not buying what trump is selling, based on a little bit of ptsd from the last election. geoff: i wanna ask you about a late breaking development here where mark meadows, the former white house chief of staff, has filed a request to move this case to federal court. what are the merits of that request as you see it? guest: as i understand it, that is an argument where you have a former federal official who
