WEBVTT - Georgia Governor Brian Kemp Talks JD Vance

0:00:02.600 --> 0:00:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

0:00:07.960 --> 0:00:09.880
<v Speaker 2>It's on truth, social the message.

0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:13.440
<v Speaker 3>After lengthy deliberation and thought, and considering the tremendous talents

0:00:13.440 --> 0:00:15.520
<v Speaker 3>of many others, I have decided that.

0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:17.400
<v Speaker 2>The person best suited to assume the position of.

0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:20.560
<v Speaker 3>Vice President of the United States is Senator JD.

0:00:20.760 --> 0:00:23.440
<v Speaker 2>Vance of the Great State of Ohio.

0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:28.920
<v Speaker 3>Of course, Donald Trump Junior had pushed hard for this choice, Kaylee.

0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:30.680
<v Speaker 2>And he was, as we mentioned, on every short list.

0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:33.200
<v Speaker 3>He also went through a remarkable evolution from a blue

0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:36.560
<v Speaker 3>collar critic of Donald Trump's he referred to him as

0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:41.120
<v Speaker 3>cultural heroine to clearly a MAGA loyalist. To the point

0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:43.480
<v Speaker 3>now where Donald Trump has made this decision in joining

0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:45.519
<v Speaker 3>us here in Milwaukee to talk about this and some

0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:48.760
<v Speaker 3>of the other issues and themes surrounding the RNC, is

0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:50.880
<v Speaker 3>the Governor of Georgia, Brian Kemp.

0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:52.920
<v Speaker 2>Governor's great to see you. Thank you for being with

0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:53.320
<v Speaker 2>us today.

0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh good to be on with you.

0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:57.480
<v Speaker 3>What do you think about this evolution that a guy

0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:00.800
<v Speaker 3>like JD. Vance went on here? Are you going to

0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:04.920
<v Speaker 3>find yourself telling a similar story when Donald Trump becomes

0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:06.479
<v Speaker 3>the official nominee on Thursday night?

0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:09.360
<v Speaker 4>Well, I think it's certainly a lot of excitement. I know,

0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 4>looking at the screen and seeing everybody on the floor.

0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:15.480
<v Speaker 4>I'm sure the Ohio delegation's very excited. But look, I

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:17.679
<v Speaker 4>think it's a good pick for President Trump. I mean,

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:22.559
<v Speaker 4>Senator Vance brings an element of use to this race

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:24.280
<v Speaker 4>that we haven't seen.

0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:25.080
<v Speaker 1>That's for sure.

0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:30.160
<v Speaker 4>The guys United States Senator obviously qualified to serve a

0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:33.319
<v Speaker 4>great messenger, which is I think very important when you

0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:35.000
<v Speaker 4>think about what's going to be going on the next

0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:36.600
<v Speaker 4>four or five months in this campaign.

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:39.480
<v Speaker 5>Well, as we consider this selection, though, knowing that you

0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:41.920
<v Speaker 5>represent one of the key swing states we are watching

0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:45.080
<v Speaker 5>in this cycle, knowing Georgia is not bright red or

0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 5>bright blue, what does jd Vance bring to undecided voters

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 5>in Georgia? How is he likely to influence that opinion

0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:54.240
<v Speaker 5>when he, as we've talked about, may just be seen

0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:56.120
<v Speaker 5>as a younger version of Donald Trump himself.

0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:59.639
<v Speaker 4>Well, I think it's not just what jd Vance brings

0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 4>to the but also what President Trump and other Republicans

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 4>can do between now November to make sure that you

0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:09.800
<v Speaker 4>know you're getting those persuadable voters. For me, and what

0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 4>I'm hearing every day is that you know, Americans and

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 4>Georgians can afford another four years of Joe Biden.

0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 1>I think that is a message that jd. Vance can deliver.

0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:21.359
<v Speaker 4>It's certainly a message that President Trump and a lot

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.880
<v Speaker 4>of other Republicans, whether it be you know, people that

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:26.280
<v Speaker 4>we're trying to help win at the state House and

0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:29.120
<v Speaker 4>state Senate level to hold our majorities in the General

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:31.880
<v Speaker 4>Assembly in Georgia, are going to be talking about people.

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:34.720
<v Speaker 4>I mean, obviously he's been very outspoken as well on

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:38.840
<v Speaker 4>the disaster at the southern border under this administration's policy.

0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.399
<v Speaker 4>So I think there's a number of issues that will

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:43.240
<v Speaker 4>resonate with swing state voters.

0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 3>He referred to Donald Trump back in twenty sixteen after

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:49.639
<v Speaker 3>the book came out as noxious, so leading the white

0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:52.680
<v Speaker 3>working class into a very dark place?

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 4>Was there some truth to that when you look back, Well,

0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:57.200
<v Speaker 4>I haven't. I haven't read the book. You know, a

0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:59.119
<v Speaker 4>lot of people write a lot of different things.

0:02:58.880 --> 0:02:59.440
<v Speaker 1>In the book.

0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:01.320
<v Speaker 2>Did a lot of interviews in that time.

0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:04.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, no, Well I get that. I'm you know, I

0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:08.000
<v Speaker 4>was busy doing my job and wasn't too worried about

0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:11.600
<v Speaker 4>his book. But listen, I think you know that this

0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:13.680
<v Speaker 4>is all about the future. You know, there's been a

0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:17.320
<v Speaker 4>lot of a lot of tough politics, a lot of rhetoric.

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:19.359
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I've been involved in some of that as

0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.120
<v Speaker 4>well with the former president, a lot of other people

0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:24.120
<v Speaker 4>have to a lot of other people, he were he

0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:26.919
<v Speaker 4>was considered to be vice president, said you know other

0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.520
<v Speaker 4>things that may not have been that flattery's all water

0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:31.720
<v Speaker 4>under the bridge. Yeah, but that you know that happens

0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 4>in politics. You're looking on the flip side of that,

0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:37.520
<v Speaker 4>you know. Uh, Kamala Harris said a lot of bad

0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 4>things about Joe Biden and ended up being his vice

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:42.360
<v Speaker 4>presidential pick. So you know it's I think I think

0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:44.600
<v Speaker 4>it's going to be incumbent on people to stay focused

0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:45.200
<v Speaker 4>on the future.

0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:47.560
<v Speaker 5>Okay, So if we stay focused on the future and

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:50.320
<v Speaker 5>think about the kind of policy that these two as

0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.320
<v Speaker 5>a joint ticket are likely to push for, we know

0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:56.120
<v Speaker 5>that they lean toward populism, protectionism. Even Senator ged Evans

0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 5>being from Ohio, has been very outspoken, for example, when

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.280
<v Speaker 5>it comes to the steel industry and that it's stay

0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.480
<v Speaker 5>in American hands, looking at that US steal nip on takeover,

0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:06.400
<v Speaker 5>something we followed very carefully at Bloomberg. But these ideas

0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.640
<v Speaker 5>of say higher tariffs. As you sit here and tell

0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:11.080
<v Speaker 5>us that what Georgians really care about is the money

0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:13.840
<v Speaker 5>in their pocket. Is raising the cost of goods for

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:17.159
<v Speaker 5>Americans by putting a blanket tariff on everything, perhaps sixty

0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:20.120
<v Speaker 5>percent plus on goods coming out of China, a way

0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:21.720
<v Speaker 5>that you can improve that feeling for.

0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:24.280
<v Speaker 4>People, Well, you know, I would let them speak to

0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:27.200
<v Speaker 4>their policy positions. But if you look at what Joe

0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 4>Biden's been doing, he's been picking winners and losers. So

0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:33.240
<v Speaker 4>to me, I think what former President Trump and what

0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:35.680
<v Speaker 4>people like JD Vance look, I don't agree with everything

0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:37.480
<v Speaker 4>that Jade Vance has been talking about.

0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:39.240
<v Speaker 1>I have different views myself.

0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 4>You know, a lot of people are going to disagree

0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:45.800
<v Speaker 4>on issues on the economy and on jobs and you

0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:49.120
<v Speaker 4>know other things that are going on. But you know,

0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:51.720
<v Speaker 4>the thing is to try, in my opinion, is let

0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:53.960
<v Speaker 4>the market work and don't pick winners and losers. And

0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:56.240
<v Speaker 4>that's what Joe Biden has been doing. I think the

0:04:56.279 --> 0:05:00.240
<v Speaker 4>populist in Donald Trump and people like JD Vance is

0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:02.800
<v Speaker 4>really trying to fight for the American worker and the

0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.560
<v Speaker 4>little guy out there that's you know, they're not getting,

0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:10.719
<v Speaker 4>you know, they're not getting their you know, education tuition

0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:14.080
<v Speaker 4>paid for, their kids may not even have the opportunity

0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:16.120
<v Speaker 4>to go for college, you know, and just trying to

0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:19.400
<v Speaker 4>really fight for that everyday American that's out there, I

0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:21.800
<v Speaker 4>think is really what they're focused on. And look, there's

0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:23.920
<v Speaker 4>a lot of other policymakers in Washington, d C. That

0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:25.560
<v Speaker 4>may not go along with that either. So I mean,

0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:28.200
<v Speaker 4>you have to keep all these things relative. But it's like,

0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.440
<v Speaker 4>who do you think is best going to fight for

0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:31.839
<v Speaker 4>you in the White House?

0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:34.240
<v Speaker 1>And to me, it's.

0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:37.760
<v Speaker 4>It's you know, the Republican ticket, the Republican policy makers

0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:40.440
<v Speaker 4>that have been pushing back and didn't create this forty

0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:43.440
<v Speaker 4>year high inflation where people's mortgage rates are gone up,

0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.520
<v Speaker 4>their rent's gone up, their insurance gone up. They're complaining

0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:48.479
<v Speaker 4>when they go to gas station, they're complaining when they

0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:50.440
<v Speaker 4>go to the grocery store, and they've seen a disaster

0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:53.920
<v Speaker 4>at the southern border and a weakening in our status

0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:54.719
<v Speaker 4>around the world.

0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:57.279
<v Speaker 2>Well, to pick up on Kiley's point, there's.

0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:59.239
<v Speaker 3>A big debate going on right now about making permanent

0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:03.880
<v Speaker 3>the Trump tax from twenty seventeen. On the surface, this

0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.320
<v Speaker 3>sounds like something that might bring relief to consumers, but

0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:08.440
<v Speaker 3>we have economists telling us every day that that will

0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:10.640
<v Speaker 3>stoke inflation even further.

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:12.839
<v Speaker 2>Would you tell Donald Trump to tap the brakes on

0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:14.160
<v Speaker 2>that idea, Well.

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.840
<v Speaker 4>I would not try to be advising them on what

0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 4>they're going to do on federal tax policy, but I

0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:22.200
<v Speaker 4>can say from the state perspective, you know, we have

0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:24.400
<v Speaker 4>to balance our budget in the state.

0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.279
<v Speaker 1>Of Georgia, and we've been lowering on what that means.

0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:28.920
<v Speaker 4>Well, yeah, I know, you don't and you know you

0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:31.520
<v Speaker 4>spend too much money too, So I mean there's ways

0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:34.960
<v Speaker 4>that you can offset tax cuts to not having an

0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:38.920
<v Speaker 4>inflationary environment, and that's certainly what we tried to work

0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:41.080
<v Speaker 4>on in Georgia by lowering the rate not only on

0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:43.359
<v Speaker 4>the you know, personal income tax, but also on the

0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:45.760
<v Speaker 4>corporate side of things. So we have a good business

0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:48.840
<v Speaker 4>environment where people can get a good paying job that

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:52.800
<v Speaker 4>can outpace inflation, have good government benefits, and that's really

0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:55.600
<v Speaker 4>what Republicans are fighting for. Well, Joe Biden and his

0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:58.200
<v Speaker 4>people have been fighting forest picking winners and losers, you know,

0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:01.880
<v Speaker 4>back in the union based automakers versus you know, people

0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:04.200
<v Speaker 4>like we have in Georgia that are non union and

0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:06.559
<v Speaker 4>to me, it's just if the policy is so good,

0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:09.320
<v Speaker 4>make it the same for everybody, and if it didn't,

0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:12.280
<v Speaker 4>then don't have the policy. But look, I agree, we've

0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:15.240
<v Speaker 4>got to look at government spending, especially in Washington, d C.

0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:18.280
<v Speaker 4>It's a reason our debts and deficits are up. Is

0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:21.920
<v Speaker 4>driving you know, part of the interest rate equation. And

0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:24.160
<v Speaker 4>I think as the Fed continues to look at where

0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:27.040
<v Speaker 4>the unemployment numbers are and the slowing of the economy,

0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:29.800
<v Speaker 4>you know, and how they deal with that, it's going

0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:32.360
<v Speaker 4>to be incoment for policymakers in DC to make good

0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:33.080
<v Speaker 4>decisions too.

0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:36.360
<v Speaker 5>Governor. Of course, we thought all of our conversations this week,

0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:38.960
<v Speaker 5>for the most part, would be dominated by policy. But

0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.520
<v Speaker 5>in some ways the tone has very much changed given

0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:44.600
<v Speaker 5>the events of this weekend and the attempted assassination on

0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:47.680
<v Speaker 5>Donald Trump. Considering what we did see in your state

0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:51.400
<v Speaker 5>in twenty twenty threats against poll workers, for example, political

0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:54.600
<v Speaker 5>violence obviously on January sixth, as the election was attempted

0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:57.480
<v Speaker 5>to be certified in Washington in early twenty twenty one,

0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:00.880
<v Speaker 5>How concerned are you about political violence or steaked as

0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:02.320
<v Speaker 5>we get closer to November.

0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:06.040
<v Speaker 4>Well, look, we're gonna keep people safe in Georgia. I'm

0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:08.920
<v Speaker 4>not too awful concerned about that, but my job is

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:11.760
<v Speaker 4>to make sure that we're you know, concerned about that.

0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:13.280
<v Speaker 4>So I mean, I don't want to give the appearance

0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:15.480
<v Speaker 4>that I'm worried about something like that's gonna happen, but

0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:17.240
<v Speaker 4>I also want people to know that we're going to

0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:19.120
<v Speaker 4>be prepared for that. I will just tell you that,

0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:22.080
<v Speaker 4>you know, my thoughts and prayers go out to the

0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:26.119
<v Speaker 4>you know, just heartbreaking loss of a true American hero

0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:29.760
<v Speaker 4>that died in that crowd protecting his family, the others

0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:32.760
<v Speaker 4>that are injured, and you know, thank god President Trump

0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:35.800
<v Speaker 4>is with us today here in Milwaukee. I can I

0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:38.240
<v Speaker 4>not imagine what this country would be like right now

0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:42.240
<v Speaker 4>if that bullet had a moved enter to the wrong way.

0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:44.080
<v Speaker 1>But I think it is an.

0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:46.280
<v Speaker 4>Opportunity for all of us really to just think about

0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:49.440
<v Speaker 4>the words that we're saying and to make sure that

0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:53.560
<v Speaker 4>you know, we're we're having our battles in a respectful

0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:57.920
<v Speaker 4>way at the ballot box, you know, not with fighting

0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:01.400
<v Speaker 4>months one another or you know, weapons of choice or

0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:06.000
<v Speaker 4>is what was reported, you know, bombnake making supplies in

0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:09.480
<v Speaker 4>this kid's car. You know, we need to really think

0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:12.760
<v Speaker 4>through what we're saying to people. I was telling Marty

0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:14.760
<v Speaker 4>my team earlier. You know, I go to church with

0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:16.720
<v Speaker 4>a lot of people that I know don't vote for me,

0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:19.040
<v Speaker 4>but they don't yell at me at church.

0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:20.320
<v Speaker 1>We're just praying together.

0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:22.840
<v Speaker 4>And I think that's really what the country needs to

0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.840
<v Speaker 4>think about as we moved to November. You know, fight

0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:29.520
<v Speaker 4>hard for your position, but let's have civil discord, discourse

0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:31.079
<v Speaker 4>and settle this at the ballot box.

0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:34.000
<v Speaker 3>Well, a lot of people remember the language on the

0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:36.840
<v Speaker 3>perfect phone call. A lot of people know who Brian

0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.319
<v Speaker 3>Kemp is because of that call, along with your Secretary

0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:44.200
<v Speaker 3>of State Raeflisberger. You fast forward to this political convention now,

0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:47.120
<v Speaker 3>and I wonder what your thoughts are about Donald Trump.

0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:50.319
<v Speaker 3>If you trust him to be the steward here going forward,

0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:52.400
<v Speaker 3>if he does win reelection, would you would endeavor to

0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:53.960
<v Speaker 3>have a relationship with him.

0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.360
<v Speaker 4>Well, man, we're going to work with any administration this

0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:58.840
<v Speaker 4>in Washington and d C. And I'll tell you, you know,

0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:02.160
<v Speaker 4>we had a great work relationship with the Trump administration

0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:05.280
<v Speaker 4>when they were in office. I had a great relationship

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:08.440
<v Speaker 4>with the Vice president with you know, got to know

0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:10.040
<v Speaker 4>really well a lot.

0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:12.400
<v Speaker 1>Of the cabinet. Second, you can recreate that work work

0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:13.240
<v Speaker 1>very closely.

0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:16.160
<v Speaker 4>And you know, I've been asked a question, you know,

0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:19.040
<v Speaker 4>sure do you you know, how do you feel about

0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:23.600
<v Speaker 4>the democracy and its surviving this election? And I actually feel,

0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:26.640
<v Speaker 4>you know, very optimistic about that. I think the institutions

0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:29.120
<v Speaker 4>of government are very strong. There's a lot of good people.

0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:32.240
<v Speaker 4>When they put their hand on that Bible and take that, oh,

0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:35.000
<v Speaker 4>they mean it. And I think they'll do their job

0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:39.400
<v Speaker 4>and follow the law in the constitution, you know, the

0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:42.720
<v Speaker 4>rest of this year and through this election. And you know,

0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:45.600
<v Speaker 4>I think I really feel optimistic about that.

0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.200
<v Speaker 5>Well, So, if Georgia's result comes down to a few

0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:51.840
<v Speaker 5>thousand votes as it did last time, twelve thousand whatever,

0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 5>and the results is the same where it is not

0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:55.800
<v Speaker 5>a victory for Donald Trump, do you trust him to

0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:57.360
<v Speaker 5>react differently this time?

0:10:57.559 --> 0:10:59.360
<v Speaker 4>Well, I would just tell you I can't speak for

0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:02.080
<v Speaker 4>what how other people are going to react and other candidates,

0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:04.520
<v Speaker 4>because I couldn't do that with Stacy Abrams when she

0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:07.120
<v Speaker 4>never conceded to me in twenty eighteen.

0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:09.959
<v Speaker 5>Stec Abrams wasn't convicted on racketeering charges or indicted.

0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:13.320
<v Speaker 4>Rather well, Stacy Abrams has got a lot of legal

0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:16.000
<v Speaker 4>problems right now that most people don't report on, and

0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:18.640
<v Speaker 4>her groups do. Maybe not her personally, but her groups

0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:21.079
<v Speaker 4>certainly do. But I will tell you that I think

0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:24.080
<v Speaker 4>the institutional institutions of government, at least in the state

0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:26.520
<v Speaker 4>of Georgia will hold in the twenty twenty election. I'm

0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:28.960
<v Speaker 4>very confident on that. I'm very confident that we're going

0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:31.800
<v Speaker 4>to have a secure, accessible, fair election in our state.

0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:35.480
<v Speaker 4>Should Georgia drop the case against Donald Trump, well, I

0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:37.800
<v Speaker 4>don't know that Georgia has a case against Donald Trump

0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.280
<v Speaker 4>because of what the Supreme Court says. Well, I mean

0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:43.920
<v Speaker 4>you'd have to ask Fannie willis that question. I mean

0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:48.679
<v Speaker 4>that is the local district attorney that has brought that case,

0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:49.880
<v Speaker 4>not the State of Georgia.

0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:51.680
<v Speaker 5>Of course, we're not expecting it's going to go to

0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:54.480
<v Speaker 5>trial before the election. Governor, thank you so much for

0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:57.319
<v Speaker 5>being with us here in Wisconsin, The Governor of Georgia,

0:11:57.360 --> 0:11:58.959
<v Speaker 5>Brian Company, appreciate your time, Sir.

0:11:58.960 --> 0:11:59.800
<v Speaker 2>I hope we'll have you back
