OMG: Georgia is going BLUE...

The midterm elections are less than two weeks away, and on the show recently, we've been talking about a variety of states and important elections that are going to decide the fate of the United States for the next two years, whether we have more of Donald Trump and more of the extremism, or less, and we can actually investigate the corruption. And one of those states we've been talking about is Georgia, and Senator John Ossoff, who's running for re-election against Republican Mike Collins, just had an amazing and brutal response when he was informed that Donald Trump might be coming back to the Peach State 2 campaign. Watch. Senator, President Trump is coming back to Georgia on Saturday. Good. Is that a mistake for him to come? Mike Collins will be with him, but Rick Jackson will not. Well, the president's visit will remind Georgians of the president's failure, of the war he lied us into. Remember, he told us it would just last a few days or a few weeks. He declared victory. On the fourth day of this war, it's been more than 230 days since. Iran still has its drones and its missiles and its uranium and diesel. It's at its all-time high. The president's visit will remind Georgians that he cut our health care and doubled our health insurance premiums. The president's visit will remind Georgians that his tariffs have driven grocery prices to their all-time high. And the president's visit will remind Georgians that Mike Collins voted for the tariffs every time, voted for the war every time. And let me just state again, Patricia, that Mike Collins needs to answer for those votes and he needs to disband this so-called convoy captain's program, which has elevated people with ties to the Klan and people who have committed heinous crimes against children. Oh, God. Every time John Ossoff goes in on Donald Trump, it is perfection. He just says it so well. And he's such a great candidate. And man, oh, man, if you live in Georgia. Please get out there and vote for John Ossoff. If you haven't already, early voting is open. Just go do it. He's a very good candidate, a very good senator who will continue to fight for our democracy. I couldn't recommend him more. And he's right. There have been so many failures as a result of Donald Trump and this administration that Republicans in Georgia have voted for. So as he mentioned, health care subsidies, ACA premium prices are going to go up for 900,000 Georgia residents. Hundreds of thousands have already dropped their health insurance altogether because it's so expensive. And Donald. Trump has the nerve to say that we're living in the golden age. Mike Collins, the Republican Senate candidate in Georgia, has the nerve to say that Donald Trump has led the United States into a golden age. I don't think so. I don't think there's a reality in which those two things exist at the same time. And with Donald Trump's big, ugly bill that he passed, a bunch of rural hospitals and maternity units are having to be shut down in Georgia. One of the main things this bill targeted was rural health care, which is mind blowing because a lot of Republican voters live in rural areas. So Donald Trump. Is directly targeting these people. But guess who voted for the big, beautiful bill, Mike Collins. They're both together. They just like work to destroy things and they have the, and they think that, you know, they deserve a higher office that Mike Collins, while voting to shut down these maternity units, shut down these rural hospitals, even in his own district, might I add, deserves now be a United States Senator. It's sickening. It's sickening the entitlement. And of course the snap changes as well. Food benefits, food programs for hungry people, hungry children. Which Donald Trump has cut Mike Collins voted to cut that is also affecting people in Georgia. That's, but that's who the Republicans are and John Ossoff is right to call them out. He was also asked about a brand new report that is also disgusting about FEMA telling States to prepare to handle their own disasters. So hurricanes and natural disasters are only getting stronger. They are impacting States like Georgia, like Florida, many States in the South, right? Republican States that have voted for Donald Trump, many States in the South and FEMA under Trump. They're telling these States you're on your own, have fun. And John Ossoff responded to that as well. And I think you should see it. Watch. There was a report in Politico the other day that FEMA administrator is telling States to begin to prepare to handle disasters on their own. Do you have any reaction to this? I know, you know, hurricane Helene relief has been a big topic of concern for you and for people across Georgia. So the Trump administration is telling. At Farmers, we go out of our way to keep you in the know. Like by singing everything for emphasis that, and by providing you with coverage on a page and easy to understand language. So, you know, what's covered and what's not no confusing legalese that no one gets in full transparency. We do have to put a disclaimer at the end of this ad, though. Just being honest. That's what you get when you have farmers. Learn more at farmers.com underwritten by farmer's truck or fire insurance exchanges or affiliate products not available in every state folks across the country to prepare to fend for themselves. If a natural disaster, if a natural disaster, if a natural disaster, if a natural disaster, if a natural disaster hits while taxpayer dollars are sent to back Don Junior and Eric's mining interest in Kazakhstan or Don Junior's magnet investment, public money is going to the first family's financial interests and they want the rest of us to fend for ourselves. If a hurricane hits. Yeah. It's a duty of the federal government to make sure that they stand in solidarity with state governments and folks across the country in the event of a natural disaster and the administration should cease its threats to cut disaster funding. And he's right. I mean, I can't believe that we're in a country now where a natural disaster, a hurricane, if your state gets hit by a hurricane, it's demolished, it's destroyed. People have lost their homes, their lives, and everything has been ruined by this natural disaster. Donald Trump is going to say, well, that's tough. That sucks for you, doesn't it? What? The federal government, FEMA, the entire agency of FEMA is supposed to be there to help states in the event of a natural disaster, in the event of wildfires, in the event of a hurricane, whatever it might be. And under Donald Trump, that's changing. And it's true. This has been reported on by Politico and other states. The Trump administration plans to cut disaster aid in as few as six months and shift the responsibility to states to clean up messes from natural disaster. This is also the same guy, this FEMA director in the Trump administration, the same guy who denied requests from Georgia to continue funding cleanup for Hurricane Haleen. They said, not going to do it. This is the letter that says, not happening. Based on our review of all the information available, it's been determined that the increased level of funding you've requested is not warranted. So they were already kind of starting this. They're already telling states it's not warranted. Sorry, you're not in luck. And John Ossoff is also right. Donald Trump's buddies, his sons, his members of his administration, people around him, his donors, are making a disgusting amount of money because Donald Trump is in the Oval Office. But as John Ossoff mentioned with, you know, and specifically the Kazakhstan deal, take a look at this. When Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick met with Kazakhstan's president at the St. Regis Hotel last September in New York, Donald Trump jumped in by phone as the men sealed a deal on a top priority for Washington. During the call, Mr. Trump and his team won an agreement from the Kazakh leader. To give a little-known American company access to one of the world's largest untapped reserves of tungsten, a metal that the United States desperately needs for the production of missile warheads, fighter jets, computer chips, and other critical goods. Ahead of the deal, the Trump administration approved a preliminary application for as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing for the American company now called Kaz Resources, which plans to break ground on the project in rural Kazakhstan. So taxpayer money. It was not only Mr. Trump and Mr. Lutnick who saw an opportunity. Their sons were soon doing business with partners in a deal that their fathers were negotiating, continuing a pattern of self-enrichment in the second Trump administration. Within weeks of the St. Regis negotiations, investors with a firm called Dominary Securities, which is housed at Trump Tower in New York and partly owned by the president's two eldest sons, Don Jr. and Eric Trump, joined other partners to take a 20% stake in that company. So to be clear, we can send billions of dollars. To Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. and fund their investments, fund their companies, but we can't have FEMA cover natural disasters. That's Donald Trump's America. That's the America that Republicans in Georgia defend, like Mike Collins and the governor of Canada as well. The White House has also intervened to get a $620 million deal for a company tied to Donald Trump Jr. About three months before the Pentagon announced plans to lend money to Vulcan Elements, Trump Jr.'s venture capital firm took an undisclosed stake in the company. and fund their investments, but we can't have FEMA cover natural disasters. Just three months before. Isn't that some interesting timing, huh? Isn't that some interesting timing? And what's interesting about Georgia is the numbers are so bad for Republicans right now. I mean, you know, John Ossoff in some polls is up by like seven or eight points. And this is not a state that should be taken for granted. It is a state that voted for Donald Trump in 2024. That's why I opened this video with telling people like, hey, if you live here, you know, people that live here, you still got to get out there and vote. Nothing is guaranteed ever, ever. You got to get out there and vote. But what's interesting is we're seeing a lot of Republicans. Republicans saying they're going to vote for John Ossoff because of the good work that he's done. So, for example, this is a farmer saying that he disagrees with John Ossoff and Democrats on a variety of things. He's voted Republican for a lot of his life, but this time he's supporting John Ossoff. On his vineyard in southern Georgia, Gary Polk feels the impacts of many of President Trump's policies firsthand. The fuel today is twice as high as it would have been this time last year. Hulk is a fifth generation musketeer grape farmer in rural Ray, Georgia. Pick them up and eat them, yeah. Mmm. Sweet. Really sweet. He says fuel prices, tariffs that have raised his costs, and an immigration crackdown that has made it harder to find workers have all taken a toll. The president says all the time that he is doing these mass deportations because non-citizens, people who are here illegally in some cases, are taking jobs from Americans. Is that the case? That's just, that's not true. They're not taking jobs from Americans. And actually, a lot of times they are filling jobs that Americans don't want. More ag jobs and more labor-intensive jobs, construction jobs. Polk also worries about access to health care in rural areas after his 36-year-old daughter Amy suffered serious strokes that nearly took her life. Amy. Uh, it's, it's come a long way. She still can't speak very well. She's just now starting to eat some soft foods, but she's a fighter. After weighing all these factors, Polk has decided for the first time in his life to cast a ballot for a Democrat, incumbent Senator John Ossoff. He doesn't agree with the Democrat on all issues, notably abortion, but it is Ossoff's help in getting federal aid after Hurricane Helene wreaked havoc on Polk's grape crop that won his vote. He's done a lot of things and proposed a lot of things. And it's crossed party lines to do it, especially with the hurricane disaster. They got $531 million appropriated for the hurricane disaster for farmers in this area. A big deal. That's how government should work. That's why we need people like John Ossoff in the Senate and why I'm so confident that he's going to be sent back to the Senate, because I think there's a lot of people in Georgia who see this work and are impressed by it. That, you know, John Ossoff is willing to work with anybody. Like many of our great Democratic candidates, this midterm cycle to get something done. And you're hearing it from these farmers who have never voted for a Democrat in their entire lives. I think that is something important. And recent polling, the AGC slash UGA poll, that being the University of Georgia and the Atlantic Atlanta Journal, that new poll shows John Ossoff leading Mike Collins among likely voters in the U.S. Senate race. The numbers are as follows. The Atlanta Journal Constitution and University of Georgia poll found that 48 percent of likely Georgia voters, the Atlanta Journal Constitution and University of Georgia poll, found that 48 percent of likely Georgia voters, support Ossoff, and only 40 percent support Mike Collins. And I'm going to sound like a broken record until midterms. This is not a guarantee. I got to say it. I got to say it for my own sanity that this is not a guarantee. Also, for the governor's race in Georgia, the AJC also did another poll for their race and found that it is neck and neck. Between Keisha Lance Bottoms and Rick Jackson, it is 46 to 45. Rick Jackson is sitting at 46. Keisha Lance Bottoms, the Democrat, is at 45, but is, of course, within the margin of error. It's very, very low. It's very, very close. And I think that Keisha Lance Bottoms has all of the momentum going into Election Day in Georgia, which you certainly love to see. And the good news is early voting in Georgia has already surged past 1.1 million. Already, 1.1 million people have gotten out there and voted and made their voices heard, which you love to see is great news. So, look, I will leave the video there. Thank you so much for watching. Please make sure to subscribe down below. I will continue to talk about Georgia and important elections with the midterms right around the corner. I'll keep you updated on all of that stuff. But thank you. Thank you for being here. Have an amazing rest of your day. And we will talk soon.
