Speaker 1: Daily Show. Coming to you from Atlanta, Georgia, Night three.
Speaker 1: We've been having so much fun here. Every single day
Speaker 1: I learned something new about the place, you know, Like
Speaker 1: yesterday I learned that people in Georgia have a really
Speaker 1: interesting philosophy about food. You know. Yeah, yesterday I asked someone,
Speaker 1: I said, hey, where should I eat? And they were like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta get the wings at JR Crickets and I
Speaker 1: was like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. People were like yeah,
Speaker 1: Like so, so what should I order? And I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: you gotta get the Lemon pepper Wet, extra crispy, extra sprinkles.
Speaker 1: And they're like, but you need like extra extra sprinkles,
Speaker 1: extra sprinkles, like extra extra sprinkles, Like it sounds like
Speaker 1: a lot of sodium. They're like, yeah, that's why you
Speaker 1: gotta go to American Daddy Afterwers and get the peach soda.
Speaker 1: That's what you gotta do. And then she said my
Speaker 1: favorite things. She was like, yeah, because you see, you see,
Speaker 1: because when you have that much salt, you gotta cancel
Speaker 1: it out with the sugar. That's what we're do in Atlanta,
Speaker 1: like it's a balanced diet. I appreciate that it was delicious,
Speaker 1: but I slept for a week. I've also learned that
Speaker 1: people in Atlanta love sports. Wow, this is like a
Speaker 1: big sports town. Like everyone here has everyone he excites
Speaker 1: it for the big Georgia Tennessee game on Saturday and
Speaker 1: people are hyped for that. It's a big sports town.
Speaker 1: I've really and I get it. I get it. I mean,
Speaker 1: the Braves won the World Series, right the the University
Speaker 1: of Georgia won the national championship. You know. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: the Falcons have really cool jerseys. I see you and
Speaker 1: the city. I feel like the city has extra energy
Speaker 1: now because the midterms are a few days away. You
Speaker 1: can feel it, right, I see the CERTs, people out
Speaker 1: there getting ready to vote. Everybody's voting, breaking early voting records.
Speaker 1: That's what's happening out here. People are out there making
Speaker 1: their voices heard. Everybody standing in line for hours and hours.
Speaker 1: I stood in mine yesterday four hours. That's how long
Speaker 1: I stirred got to the front. Turns out it was
Speaker 1: a place called Slutty Vegan. Yeah, I didn't know that
Speaker 1: was a popular restaurant in Atlanta, but it was just
Speaker 1: someone who sleeps around and likes tofu. The line would
Speaker 1: have been longer for that, but because the met trams,
Speaker 1: the mit chums are on. You know, we've talked about
Speaker 1: this a little bit. This ads everywhere in Atlanta, and
Speaker 1: and every ad, every ad that I've watched in the
Speaker 1: city as a campaign ad right now, everything you know this,
Speaker 1: you've seen it. Like I watched TV for ten minutes
Speaker 1: last night and I saw thirty minutes worth of ads
Speaker 1: and the thing That's the thing that stuck out for
Speaker 1: me was how most of them were mean and ship
Speaker 1: Georgia would be different. With Abrams, she pushed more COVID lockdowns,
Speaker 1: wanted businesses closed and kids locked out of schools. Abram's
Speaker 1: crime plan eliminate cash bailed the same failed liberal scheme
Speaker 1: causing crime to surge in other states. Stacy Abrams and
Speaker 1: Rotha L. Warnock support aboarding babies, not just a six weeks,
Speaker 1: not just in fifteen weeks where the baby can do
Speaker 1: an up tools, talk shows, magazine covers, television cameos, celebrity
Speaker 1: Stacy a perfect governor for liberally leeds, just not hard
Speaker 1: working Georgians. Damn you know, you know, if you if
Speaker 1: you only knew Stacy Abrams from attack ads in Georgia,
Speaker 1: you would think she was Darth Vada combined with Fanos,
Speaker 1: combined with that asshole who cuts you off in the traffic,
Speaker 1: pure evil. Stacy Abrams does all of it. And by
Speaker 1: the way, I don't understand that lost part. What what what
Speaker 1: was that? She's bad because she gets interviewed on TV
Speaker 1: shows like look at this, what what what are they
Speaker 1: trying to say? Huh, what is this about? What? Is this?
Speaker 1: Why is this in an attack ad? She hugs Trevor Noah,
Speaker 1: which means she wants to turn America into Africa. There's
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with hugging me. I give good hugs. I mean,
Speaker 1: on the flip side. This, this is good for me.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. Yeah, no, because now I have
Speaker 1: a great use. Anytime I don't want to hang out
Speaker 1: with anybody, you know, they'll be like, hey, hang, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I would love to, but if we're seen together, I
Speaker 1: could be using an attack ad. You know. Yeah, if
Speaker 1: you ever choose to run for governor of Georgia, it's
Speaker 1: just gonna spoil your I can't do that to you.
Speaker 1: You know, maybe you should just gouber home from surgery.
Speaker 1: I think it would be better. And it's not just
Speaker 1: in Georgia. This is the thing. It's not just in Georgia.
Speaker 1: And it's not just mean in this moment. It's getting men.
Speaker 1: Every single day. Every campaign in America right now is
Speaker 1: flooding the air waves with attack ads. Everyone. My opponent
Speaker 1: will raise your attack my opponent will cut your health care,
Speaker 1: my opponent. And that's always that voice, too, right, it's
Speaker 1: always that attack ad voice. I feel like you can
Speaker 1: say anything in that voice and it sounds terrible. You know,
Speaker 1: my opponent will donate his kidney to you. That's son
Speaker 1: of a bitch. Wait, what I need a kidney? You know?
Speaker 1: If you ask me, honestly, I think attack ads should
Speaker 1: be legal. Yeah, I mean it. I think attack ads
Speaker 1: should be legal, not campaign ads. Not campaign ads, attack ads.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. First of all, First of all,
Speaker 1: I think it's because they only drive up polarization and hates.
Speaker 1: That's what they do, right. And secondly, politicians should be
Speaker 1: earning your vote by telling you what they're gonna do,
Speaker 1: not just by shipping on other candidates. Just tell me
Speaker 1: what you will do if you want me to vote.
Speaker 1: Don't tell me about the other person, because you realize
Speaker 1: they're they're auditioning for the job. We don't accept the
Speaker 1: ship in any other job, right, there's no other job
Speaker 1: where you can apply for it. And then your resume
Speaker 1: isn't what you do, it's just a list of other
Speaker 1: reasons that the other people suck. You can't do that
Speaker 1: anywhere else. Yeah, you can't just be sitting there and
Speaker 1: be like, oh, what are my strengths? Well, I think
Speaker 1: you should be focusing on Anthony's weaknesses. Yeah, that guy
Speaker 1: types with these index fingers. Yeah, so when do I
Speaker 1: start UNI. That's not campaigning, that's not winning votes, right,
Speaker 1: shouldn't be a part of democracy. It's basically the same
Speaker 1: strategy every R and B song from the nineties used
Speaker 1: you remember that, every song would just be some guy
Speaker 1: he's coming out there like a girl. You know, your
Speaker 1: man ain't treating you right. He never buys you flowers,
Speaker 1: he's never taken you to Disney World. Well, are you
Speaker 1: gonna take me to Disney? Or a girl just saying
Speaker 1: about me? Right now? This is about your man and
Speaker 1: how he ain't doing you right. And by the way,
Speaker 1: my car's on the shop, so I might need to
Speaker 1: borrow yours like it's it's not helpful, it's not healthy.
Speaker 1: And here's the thing. Here's the thing. It would be
Speaker 1: one thing if attack ads were just highlighting policy differences
Speaker 1: between candidates. My opponent wants to raise your taxes, but
Speaker 1: I want to lower them. That's that's one thing. But
Speaker 1: that's not what attack ads do because like everything else
Speaker 1: in America, it has to be supersized. Queen politicians are
Speaker 1: pushing sexual agendas on our children. Hex rated drag shows
Speaker 1: for kids, pornography and elementary schools. A moment Odds doesn't
Speaker 1: want you didn't know about his deadly experiments on puppies.
Speaker 1: Katy Hobbs organized a mock slave auction. Kahoks guilty of racism.
Speaker 1: No one is safe with liberal Amelia Pykes. Babies have
Speaker 1: to watch their backs because of Tina ko tech. Tinako
Speaker 1: tech too extreme for Oregon. I'm sorry what babies have
Speaker 1: to watch their backs. If you're a baby watching that,
Speaker 1: you are crapping your pants more than usual. You are
Speaker 1: shipping yourself. I've never seen an attack ad trying to
Speaker 1: scare babies. I was like, watch out, babies. Tina Kodak
Speaker 1: is here, and now she's not, and now she's here,
Speaker 1: and now she's not, and now she's here. And by
Speaker 1: the way, I know, I know there's some people who
Speaker 1: are thinking right now, But Trevor, don't I deserve to
Speaker 1: know the bad things about someone who's running for office. Yes,
Speaker 1: I think you do. I think you do. And ideally
Speaker 1: you would get that information from America's responsible, objective news media.
Speaker 1: That's where you should be getting it from. Doesn't need
Speaker 1: to be in an attack because here's the thing, here's
Speaker 1: the thing. In my opinion, these ads are not helping.
Speaker 1: They don't help. They don't help, right because they don't
Speaker 1: just attack policy, they portray opponents as evil, inherently evil
Speaker 1: monsters that poisons the entire country because what happens to
Speaker 1: by polisianship? After that? Do people ever think of that? Huh?
Speaker 1: You can't be like, yes, I I said my opponent
Speaker 1: wants to drink the blood of children. But now that
Speaker 1: the election is over, that doesn't mean we can't work
Speaker 1: together on infrastructure. Get out in here, you pedophile, let's
Speaker 1: do this deal. You can't do that. Why would any
Speaker 1: want support that? And what's even worse is that many
Speaker 1: attack ads are just straight up lives, straight up lives. Like,
Speaker 1: for instance, um, there's a there's an ad in Texas
Speaker 1: Greg Abbott put up this ad, right, a TV ad
Speaker 1: that's spliced together different quotes from Better or Rock to
Speaker 1: make it seem like he said something that he didn't say, right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: campaign flyers in North Carolina they show candidates wearing defund
Speaker 1: the police T shirts that they never actually wore. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, go, okay, well, as long as your
Speaker 1: photoshopping picks, why not go all the way. Just go
Speaker 1: all the way. Yeah, just be like, Look, he's not
Speaker 1: just throwing out a garbage bag, he's throwing out the
Speaker 1: new Taylor Swift album You Monster. There's drinking children's blood,
Speaker 1: and then there's evil. Oh and if you want to
Speaker 1: see just how bad the lies in these ads can get,
Speaker 1: look no further than this race in California. We want
Speaker 1: to show you perhaps the most dishonest TV campaign ad
Speaker 1: we've ever seen. Some politicians think they should control your
Speaker 1: child's education. We're trying to indoctrinate in our students in communism.
Speaker 1: J Chen is running for Congress to represent southern Californians.
Speaker 1: Here's what Chen actually said. You know, I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: a recipient of some of these attacks. Unfortunately, they're gonna
Speaker 1: be claiming that because our school district was teaching Chinese,
Speaker 1: that meant we were trying to indoctrine in our students
Speaker 1: and communism. Literally, that will be one of the points
Speaker 1: of attack. Huh. Look at that. He even called it.
Speaker 1: He said, these people are probably going to claim that
Speaker 1: we are teaching kids communism, and I guess his opponents
Speaker 1: so that then they were like, well, that's a great
Speaker 1: idea we should do that. Yeah, we should do that
Speaker 1: because he doesn't think it's bad enough. It's bad enough
Speaker 1: to attack someone, but to pretend they said something they
Speaker 1: didn't say and attack them for that, that's that's even worse.
Speaker 1: You're attacking them for something they didn't say. You realize
Speaker 1: if you edited the context is out of everything, right
Speaker 1: that that cardy B song, whapp that's a song about
Speaker 1: female sexual empowerment. But if you edit out the p
Speaker 1: now it's just a song about wet ass. No one's
Speaker 1: gonna be dancing in the club to that song. Get
Speaker 1: a buttet then them up for this wet ass. Oh
Speaker 1: please do not back that thing up on me. You
Speaker 1: can't do that. It's good for democracy. And and here's
Speaker 1: the thing that that may blow your mind at all,
Speaker 1: because a blew mine is that it's not illegal to
Speaker 1: line attack ads. Did you know this, Yeah, it is
Speaker 1: not illegal. The courts have said that the government cannot
Speaker 1: ban lying in political ads because it falls under free speech. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and look, maybe you agree, maybe one of those people
Speaker 1: who thinks, oh, the government shouldn't get involved in policing
Speaker 1: what's true or false and ads. But here's the thing.
Speaker 1: It already does. Right, if you lie in an ad
Speaker 1: for a car, or for a for a cell phone,
Speaker 1: or for even toilet paper, the FTC will ban that ad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: which is a weird set up for parties, all right,
Speaker 1: because if you lie in an election ad, that could
Speaker 1: undermine your democracy. But if you lie about how many
Speaker 1: sheets on a roll of toilet paper, I mean, the
Speaker 1: worst that could happen is you end up with a
Speaker 1: wet ass. So, if you ask me, America has everything backwards.
Speaker 1: If there's one type of ad you're not allowed to
Speaker 1: lie in, it should be your political ads. Right. Not
Speaker 1: only is that better for democracy, not only is it
Speaker 1: better for democracy, but it means you would be allowed
Speaker 1: to lie in commercial ads. And I think that would
Speaker 1: be funny as hell. Chef Boyard says, is b Eroni
Speaker 1: is quick and convenient. But of all people who ate
Speaker 1: b ERRONI immediately died in the other became transgender. What
Speaker 1: Chef BOYARTI hiding under his hat? Is it critical race theory?
Speaker 1: He want to say? Chef by r d wrong for dinner,
Speaker 1: wrong for America, paid for by concern citizens for spaghettios.
Speaker 1: You see, Now that's what we need more, all right,
Speaker 1: we gotta take a quick break when we come back.
Speaker 1: Why would Jr. Is going to meet the man behind
Speaker 1: a lot of Atlanta's music? You don't want to miss it.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Danny Show. You know, Atlanta is
Speaker 1: known for its incredible music scene, but it wouldn't be
Speaker 1: possible without some hit makers behind in the scenes. Roy
Speaker 1: with Jr. Sat down with one of them. You've probably
Speaker 1: heard of major Atlanta artists like Young Jeezy, Tow Chains,
Speaker 1: and Bobby Valentino, but you probably wouldn't know any of
Speaker 1: them if it weren't for this guy, Nick, the hit
Speaker 1: maker Loan, Atlanta born and raised. He's the reason Atlanta
Speaker 1: artists go from local legends to international stars. If we're
Speaker 1: going to be in the city, I had to sit
Speaker 1: down with the man himself, Nick Loves Now. You're a
Speaker 1: humble brother, you know, but this is your chance to Brad,
Speaker 1: give me some of the songs and artists that you
Speaker 1: helped to break in Atlanta that eventually became global tour
Speaker 1: and success. Like I've touched everything that has come out
Speaker 1: of this city period. And that's not a brag, that's
Speaker 1: just kind of what it is. I established a pipeline
Speaker 1: through working with these guys. That was like there was
Speaker 1: just a bootprint, right. So everybody said, okay, cool the
Speaker 1: thing that you did with Jess, can you do that
Speaker 1: for me? You are a hit maker? Okay, so jez Luda,
Speaker 1: whoever they give you a song, what's the next thing?
Speaker 1: You take it to a DJ ware everywhere. Like I'm
Speaker 1: hitting the strip clubs, I'm hitting the regular clubs, I'm
Speaker 1: hitting the mixtape guys. I'm trying to put it in
Speaker 1: front of everybody who has an ear that I respect,
Speaker 1: and I'm saying, what do you think? What is this?
Speaker 1: Because I like it, you start to visualize, like I
Speaker 1: can see the girls dance into this, I can see
Speaker 1: the dudes riding they call down pe Street Street playing
Speaker 1: it outside they because I know it. So Nick Love's
Speaker 1: secret Sauce is just taking the song he likes and
Speaker 1: getting it into Atlanta hotspots. Sounds easy, but it's actually
Speaker 1: a lot of hard work. You gotta form relationships, get
Speaker 1: people to trust your taste, and apparently you have to
Speaker 1: hit the strip clubs. Um not. Nobody want to see
Speaker 1: the Magic City every day, but in my twenties I
Speaker 1: was willing to do it. It was a hard you
Speaker 1: know I was willing to sacrifice, take one for the
Speaker 1: team and say, in the Magic City every day, what
Speaker 1: is it about being but naked that people like? I'm
Speaker 1: naked now I can feel the music, pretty girls and money.
Speaker 1: If you stick pretty girls and money in the same room,
Speaker 1: there's influence there. Right. We want to do what the
Speaker 1: girls like, We want to impress them. And you can
Speaker 1: catch for those crimes because those are the people who
Speaker 1: are dictating what's popping in the city. I get what
Speaker 1: you're saying. Bro. All of these transients from all over
Speaker 1: the country and all over the world aren't here, and
Speaker 1: they're all going to the clubs. They all going to
Speaker 1: the strip clubs, they're all going to the lounges. So
Speaker 1: if you can play a song that pleases this demographic,
Speaker 1: chances are this demographic it's gonna go. So this city
Speaker 1: just one thing as focus group, That's exactly what it
Speaker 1: is as it is. It's a it's a research facility
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, that's what it is.
Speaker 1: Which if this is such an effective way of getting
Speaker 1: things in front of people, why is music the only
Speaker 1: thing do the politicians come to the club? I mean,
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, politics hasn't historically been cool, right,
Speaker 1: We know how important it is, but it's rarely been cool.
Speaker 1: We know that cool sales from the time that Puffy
Speaker 1: did uh the voter Die campaign. That was the switchover
Speaker 1: of hip hop culture being involved in politics. We do
Speaker 1: influence what happens. If we're on board, we can affect change. Wait,
Speaker 1: Nick Love makes hits. The mid terms are coming in.
Speaker 1: Georgia's a swing state. If did he can do it,
Speaker 1: so can I write? You can take any song and
Speaker 1: get it in front of the people who decide if
Speaker 1: it's a hit. Any song, don't matter what it's about.
Speaker 1: Any song I got you people. Remember you said that,
Speaker 1: Remember you said that I got a song. I got
Speaker 1: all of my man. There has to be a way
Speaker 1: to activate Georgia voters a lot. So I borrowed some
Speaker 1: cash from my cousin's cousins, mother's aunt, and I linked up.
Speaker 1: It swayed the remix guy. You know this guy Chriez.
Speaker 1: But take us to meet us, laugh to make a
Speaker 1: hit in the studio. That's good, that's good. Eric drops
Speaker 1: time to take this heat to the street. Hey, what's
Speaker 1: up everybody? My name? Really, I'm gonna wrap out of Birmingham.
Speaker 1: I'm forty three years old. It's never too late to
Speaker 1: chase your dreams. This nick your hit maker. I got
Speaker 1: a track I want to play for y'all and you know,
Speaker 1: and y'all let me know if y'all feeling it or not?
Speaker 1: All right, all right, it's called It's called get out
Speaker 1: and vote with your vote. Ass given the campaigns heating
Speaker 1: camp is heating Georgia. George Georgia is one of the
Speaker 1: key races. I can determine who against control Senator Rapiel
Speaker 1: Warknock going up against personal every voter. So not a hit,
Speaker 1: I've heard worse. I mean, you know what if you
Speaker 1: play with a little bit, stop stop just stop? All right?
Speaker 1: So what did y'all think about my track? It was
Speaker 1: it was pretty it was pretty cool while you stuttering
Speaker 1: that while you study? What do you do? How many
Speaker 1: entertainment visis? I'm a club promoter that's perfect and want
Speaker 1: you want here? You want here one more time? No

Speaker 1: be honest with you do I have a hit on
Speaker 1: my hands yesternight. I think you can get there. You
Speaker 1: could get there. That's like the nicest you ain't ship
Speaker 1: I've ever heard. Do you feel more motivated to vote
Speaker 1: having heard my song? I will say yes. I think
Speaker 1: you have a new career coming your way. How much rap?
Speaker 1: Do you listen to? More country than raps? Get love?
Speaker 1: That's the last song you listen to is Little John
Speaker 1: get Low? Ye? What does the song mean? Why is
Speaker 1: it not a hit to you? I don't really hear
Speaker 1: you in it though? What else? Because I was sampling
Speaker 1: some other stuf up and my wrapping part I hadn't
Speaker 1: finished it, so no versus just features. So you're saying
Speaker 1: they needs a verse from me? Yeah, yeah, because that
Speaker 1: would make it you rapping and he's Atlanta fos tripping
Speaker 1: this ship. Fine. I know I can still make a hit,
Speaker 1: and I think I have just the thing the way.
Speaker 1: I want to make sure my vote is counted, and
Speaker 1: make sure my vote is counted. He voted, We voted
Speaker 1: in Choucha, were voting. We voted, let's go a woman control.
Speaker 1: We're gonna control police control, black vote, throwing the vote

Speaker 1: vot throwing trust and when they see the must vote
Speaker 1: trush and then to see the must jack that jacket

Speaker 1: one right, that's the one right. Okay, why would junior? Everybody,
Speaker 1: all right, stay tuned because when we come back, Senator
Speaker 1: Rafael Warnock will be joining me right here on the show.
Speaker 1: You don't want to miss it. Welcome back to the
Speaker 1: Data Show. My guests, like is a senior pastor of
Speaker 1: the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church right here in Atlanta, and
Speaker 1: he currently represents the state of Georgia in the United
Speaker 1: States Senate. Please welcome Senator Rafael warn Up m H
Speaker 1: Reverend slash Senator Raphael Warnock. Welcome to the Daily Show.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. I'm gonna I'm gonna jump straight
Speaker 1: into it and I know so many welcome. Thank you
Speaker 1: so much. You don't know one's welcomed me back. You
Speaker 1: The first person you see this is this is why
Speaker 1: you're reverend. I like that. I like um first, first
Speaker 1: things first, this is turning into a race that is
Speaker 1: way closer than people anticipates it. It is turning into
Speaker 1: through a race that has become a lot more national
Speaker 1: than many people anticipates it. And what's been surprising is
Speaker 1: seeing how little of the news is actually about what
Speaker 1: you're doing wrong. It's just about what the other candidate
Speaker 1: is saying, which seems crazy, and and yet it seems
Speaker 1: closer than it should be. So I'd love to start
Speaker 1: with that. Why do you think Georgia or Georgian votes
Speaker 1: is or the polls are showing that Georgian voters are
Speaker 1: so close when it seems like most people would say
Speaker 1: the two of you are so far apart. Well, I
Speaker 1: agree with the last part of what you just said.
Speaker 1: Ah wow, the differences between the options that Georgians have
Speaker 1: right now are wide in the and um, look, the
Speaker 1: reality is we always knew this would be a close race,
Speaker 1: and I think that speaks to where the country is
Speaker 1: and where people are. Um. But I think when you
Speaker 1: look close, and you don't have to look that close,
Speaker 1: um uh, you can see that Georgians have a clear choice.
Speaker 1: I think about who's ready and who's fit, sir h Yeah,
Speaker 1: to represent them in the United States Senate. And I
Speaker 1: believe that at the end of the day, Jordan's an't
Speaker 1: gonna get it right. Let's talk about let's talk about
Speaker 1: what many, what many Georgians may feel is going wrong.
Speaker 1: There are many who are saying we need change. And
Speaker 1: as we've seen multiple times in American politics, it's it's
Speaker 1: all about what people's pockets feel like, it's all about
Speaker 1: what their gas tank looks like, that the terms a
Speaker 1: lot of how they vote. There are many Georgians have
Speaker 1: said I love you, Senator, I love what you're doing
Speaker 1: and what you represent. But I feel like in this moment,
Speaker 1: the Republicans are promising something that is better or different.
Speaker 1: How would you how would you respond to the people
Speaker 1: who say that to you? Well, in my case, my
Speaker 1: opponent hasn't promised a think I mean, think about it.
Speaker 1: I mean that, and I'm not being flipping. I want
Speaker 1: you to think what what has he actually promised to do? So, look,
Speaker 1: there's no question that these are tough times and people
Speaker 1: are feeling the pain and the pinch. We've been through
Speaker 1: over two years of a pandemic and now that the
Speaker 1: economy has opened up, we're seeing these rising costs supply
Speaker 1: chain issues related to the pandemic. We're seeing rising prices
Speaker 1: by the way, globally driven by the war in Ukraine.
Speaker 1: And on top of that, you've got bad actors in
Speaker 1: the corporate space who are literally exploiting a pandemic while
Speaker 1: we while so, while while we are paying record prices
Speaker 1: at the pump, at the pharmaceutical counter, at the grocery store,
Speaker 1: they are literally experiencing record profits and so so, so
Speaker 1: the question is who's gonna do something about it? Who
Speaker 1: who cares about ordinary people? And I I take this
Speaker 1: job very seriously. You know, it's a real honor for
Speaker 1: your neighbors to say, we want you to represent us
Speaker 1: in in high office. And so that's the reason why
Speaker 1: I kept the cost of insulin, to know, more than
Speaker 1: thirty five dollars out of plastic cost. That's that's that's
Speaker 1: the reason I kept the costs of prescription drugs so uh,
Speaker 1: women and men like my eighty four year old mother
Speaker 1: wouldn't have to choose between buying the medicine they need
Speaker 1: and the groceries they need. That's why I've remained folk
Speaker 1: it is not on the people. And when I talked
Speaker 1: the other night about capping the cost of insulin and
Speaker 1: the fact that corporations are gouging insulin, a one year
Speaker 1: old drug, my opponents said, people just need to eat right.
Speaker 1: So those were his words. And you know, as a pastor,
Speaker 1: I have encouraged healthy living, but that doesn't explain why
Speaker 1: the corporations are engaged in price gouging. And you can
Speaker 1: eat right and still have diabetes. Right. So so here
Speaker 1: here's my recommendation. I think herschel Walker should be the
Speaker 1: dietitian and I'll serve in the United States Center. Let's
Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit as well about how you
Speaker 1: work as well. I I have found it particularly interesting
Speaker 1: that even in your campaign ads in Georgia, you've gone
Speaker 1: out of your way to talk about Republicans who you
Speaker 1: have worked with, which so many people would seem like suicide.
Speaker 1: You know, you say I've worked with Ted Cruz, I
Speaker 1: worked with Marco Ruby or not. Most people don't even
Speaker 1: admit that that they know Ted Cruise. And yet here
Speaker 1: you are, here, you are saying, no, I worked with
Speaker 1: Ted Cruise, I worked with Marco Ruby. You've made an
Speaker 1: effort of talking about reaching across the aisle and working
Speaker 1: with other loanmakers to get things done. It seems like
Speaker 1: that is dwindling in American politics. As you said, people
Speaker 1: are retreating to their corners and saying this is where
Speaker 1: I stand. I work with no one else. Do you
Speaker 1: not worry about alienating some who say, oh, how can
Speaker 1: you reach across the aisle? Or why is it that
Speaker 1: you choose to particularly include that in your own campaign?
Speaker 1: And I mean, it's your ad. Why include Ted Cruizer's name?
Speaker 1: Why put it Marco Rubio's name in it? Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm the eighteenth most bipartisan senator in the Senate based
Speaker 1: uh uh according to the Luger Center, the eighth Then
Speaker 1: that's that's a little bit of an achievement. Us out
Speaker 1: of one hundred senators, I'm one hundred. I'm the most
Speaker 1: junior senator in the Senate, and I've been able to
Speaker 1: convince people to work with me, to pull people together,
Speaker 1: and so, yeah, I will be honest. Ted Cruise and
Speaker 1: I are both on the Commerce Committee. Most of the
Speaker 1: time when he's talking, I'm sitting there thinking to myself, really,
Speaker 1: if you like you put on a suit in the
Speaker 1: tie to come here to do that. So that's usually
Speaker 1: what I'm thinking. But but when it came time to
Speaker 1: name our fourteen a priority corridor in Georgia, an interstate
Speaker 1: that would run through Texas and also through Georgia, would
Speaker 1: connect our military basis, would revitalize a lot of our
Speaker 1: rural areas that have been suffering all throughout Georgia. I
Speaker 1: didn't mind working with TED crews to do that. If
Speaker 1: we can build out the highway, nobody cares if you're
Speaker 1: a Democratic or Republican, you get to use the highway. Um. So,
Speaker 1: so what I've endeavored to do is not to be
Speaker 1: a senator who used to be a pastor, but a
Speaker 1: pastor in the Senate, which is which is why I
Speaker 1: returned to my pulpit. I preach here every Sunday, and
Speaker 1: you continue to do the important work. So I hope
Speaker 1: the people of Georgia will give me six more years
Speaker 1: to keep doing this work because I want to think
Speaker 1: to go back. It's a good talk of my happen.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining in somethings. Remember having
Speaker 1: me sell a rough. I want everybody, We're gonna take
Speaker 1: a quick way. We'll do right back possible Thanks you,
