jon ossoff and raphael warnock. [applause] [cars honking] jon ossoff understands what it means to be a small business owner. he owns a business with one singular objective, to root out corruption. and we picked the perfect target, david purdue. warnock has led his ledch -- rafael warnock has his church and lead his community with values, and we have the perfect person for him, and that is kelly loeffler. raffaellassoff and ael warnockand raffaella get to the u.s. senate we get , the better deal that we need. we get the change that we need. we get the progress that we need. let's put it into context. you see, while 161,000 georgians faced eviction this year if we don't get relief. david purdue and kelly loeffler anddavid purdue and kelly loeffler are writing strongly worded letters to a baseball team. while 160,000 people were not able to sleep inside at night, they are worried about the name of a baseball team. while we know one in four businesses in georgia have disappeared in 2020, kelly loeffler and david purdue

ossoff: stacy, that is maryland crimes. she runs mom's kitchen over in preston and it is a family business. she wanted to tell the people what president obama just described, having so-called public servants more concerned with enriching themselves during a crisis than delivering basic economic relief for ordinary people is totally unacceptable. just that, for example, senator purdue has been blocking relief for ordinary people since midsummer. he was against it at all in the first place. he fought against a single $1200 stimulus check for working people while he was furiously buying up medical and vaccine stocks and dumping his casino shares while he had access to classified briefings on covid-19 in the senate. it is such a gross abuse of power. the story that marilyn wanted to tell, here she is running a family business, and the individuals supposed to be resenting her didn't even look out for her. he's looking out for himself. the reason this election matters likech, it is just president obama said. we all know mitch mcc

but we need raphael warnock and jon ossoff. because they know it is a requirement, it is a right, and we will have it when we send them to washington, d.c. [cheering] at a time when our economy is in peril, when people who proclaim to be capitalists seem to only believe in capitalism for themselves, when we need money for our families and businesses to help our communities, while kelly loeffler and david perdue watch mitch mcconnell burn our economy down, and they stand behind it, we need to send our firefighters and first responders, we are sending raphael warnock and jon ossoff to d.c. to save america. [applause] and in a moment where racial justice or economic justice or invention -- ornamental lefflerare on the line, poses with a kkk leader. and they were to -- and david purdue has a problem pronouncing the letter k. we don't have to win for them to learn to do their job. we have raphael warnock and jon ossoff, and they will get the job done. so i'm here to ask you one more time. i talked to you, i said we needed to make a

senator, jon ossoff. mr. ossoff: thank you so much, stacey. i love you. thank you for what you have done for the state of georgia, throughout your career building over these last 10 years. reverend, it is an honor to run alongside you. and mr. obama, thank you for lending a hand in your support and friendship. my mother was 23 years old when she came to this country alone as an immigrant. because for her, america represented hope. she believed we were on a country, on a journey making progress to fully realize our founding ideals, that we were equal in god's eyes, that opportunity and rights were given equally to all of us. that is the vision of our country that drew my mother here as a young woman. she became an activist and march for the equal rights amendment. she became a businesswoman. she became a citizen because she recognized the ballot box is where we push this country forward. what happened in these last four years as our country has been ripped apart by fear and division, it broke my mother's heart. and what's happened in this last year as the

ossoff, the civil rights bill you're talking about, can you tell us a little more about what that would look like? >> yes. this civil rights act, a new civil rights act will empower the civil rights division at the department of justice to hold law enforcement, prosecutors, judges, facilities of incarceration accountable where there's racial profiling, where there's brutality where there's race or class bias. we need to establish national standards for the use of force. we also need to reform our nation's drug laws, legalize cannabis, stop locking people up for non-violent drug-related offenses. the 14th amendment already guarantees equal protection under the law. when ahmaud arbery is shot in broad daylight in georgia, that makes a mockery of that. we can get it done if we win these two senate races in georgia. otherwise they'll stop criminal justice reform in its tracks. >> jon ossoff, we'll have to leave it there, candidate for the senate there in georgia.

>> he debated ossoff twice before. ossoff was telling lies. david already presented his case. last night it was just another chance in 30 minutes to see softball questions thrown to someone who has radical views. he had problems convincing people of who he is. it highlighted the fact that loeffler and warnock had never debated each other one-on-one so the spotlight was where it should have been. >> dana: in terms of getting out of the vote, how do you think are stepping up again the democrats right now? this is a presidential level on the republican side trying to cut into any lead that the democrats might have for those january 5th votes? >> it's a great turnout. mcdaniel and the rnc is doing a great job of providing resources. the campaigns are working hard. this is a wake up call knowing that georgia holds the key. if we want to see the economy do well and the government we had for the last 4 years putting businesses and our military first, we have to keep these 2 seats. now it's a matter of having to work through the holidays to make sure people turnout. i will say this to

today, jon ossoff released this new campaign ad. >> you can send jon ossoff to the senate to beat this virus and rebuild our economy, to make sure everybody can afford health care, and to carry the torch john lewis passed to us with a new voting rights act that secures equal justice for all. georgia, you have the power. and now it's time to vote. >> joining us now, georgia democratic candidate for united states senate, jon ossoff. thank you for joining us once again tonight. the campaign now is down to these final days. what is the most important element of the campaign now? is it the tv advertising, which must be virtually every commercial on georgia television at this point for one candidate or the other? is it getting out there into real contact with voters? >> hey, lawrence. good evening. thank you for having me. always a pleasure to see you. thanks for the opportunity. look, it is movement-level energy right now in georgia. something special is happening in this state right now. we are shattering turnout records. young voters are shattering all-time records for participation in a

ossoff was under 70. the margin for ossoff in that county was 216,000. that's a difference of about 26,000 votes in the margin. that's a pretty -- again, like, each wins the county in a landslide, but if you're a democrat and you're trying to win georgia, you need every vote you can get, and the difference between jon ossoff getting a 216,000 vote margin and biden with a 242,000 vote margin. you saw it in fulton county, cobb county, the atlanta metro area. these were core democratic areas in each race. there was a slice of voter who went out in places, voted against trump, and then voted against the democrats in the senate races. and that's a voter the democrats need to pick up next week. >> the khakis are being pressed. the diet coke is being stockpiled. steve, another busy week ahead for you. >>> next, kamala harris and her husband are getting a covid-19 vaccine today. we're following the gopmentes live. >>> and two top doctors weigh in on what the biden transition team can do to fight the pandemic before inauguration. ou? this aveeno® moisturizer goe

we talked earlier about jon ossoff i don't think broke 40%. we got the votes out there. it we've got to go get them, we've got to turn it back out. we also have to realize that democrats are doing the same thing. >> laura: when you can't be afraid, governor. sorry to interject but i think so many people gravitate toward trump nationwide, the largest turnout for any republican president. is that he is a fighter, he's a fighter. he's unafraid to call people on your you know why. you get the sense that people are afraid of stacey abrams, afraid of being called racist, the decrease in everything that happened hobbled the party on the mail and voting. i won't harp on it but it's really sticking in people's crown. i hope that i know you saw the hearing today. the blur here tonight because i don't want the republicans to win back and i'm so grateful that you can. >> right there with them, we will work with everybody to make it happen. >> laura: governor, thank you for coming tonight. brian kemp here on "the ingraham angle." the failed governor candidate stacey abrams and raphae

the other debate, republican senator david perdue refused to take part, so democratic challenger jon ossoff stood on stage alongside an empty podium. >> it is a strange situation to be asking a question of a sitting united states senator who is not here to debate as he asks for the votes of the people to be reelected. amy: the debates came a day after president trump held a rally in georgia and called on georgia's republican governor brian kemp to overturn the election but kemp refused to do so. we will go to georgia for the latest. all that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy now!, democracynow.org, the quarantine report. i'm amy goodman. the u.s. is heading towards 15 million confirmed cases of covid-19 as daily cases are averaging close to 200,000. the reported death toll has topped 282,000 with hospitalizations now over 100,000. experts warn the grim figures do not yet account for spikes related to thanksgiving travel. hospitals and the 911 emergency call system are being stretched to the breaking point as frontline health workers scramble to care for patients. in california, san

you are back on the campaign trail today for jon ossoff, tomorrow for raphael warnock. what are you seeing out there, especially in response to this weekend's debate, last night's debate where david perdue did not even show up? >> it's good to be with you, lawrence. what i'm seeing is a lot of enthusiasm. i think that the people of georgia understand how important the stakes are here. they understand that what happens here in georgia is going to affect not only all georgians but also all of us as americans. i think most folks get, and what they saw in the debates last night reinforced this, that in senators loeffler and perdue they've had two people that in georgia's most critical moment of need have chosen to serve themselves, to enrich themselves, to benefit their friends, instead of working on behalf of the people of georgia. what they see in raphael warnock and in jon ossoff are two folks who are committed to serving the people of georgia, who are talking about the issues that matter, health care, jobs, getting small businesses back up and going, housing opportunity

"the evening edit" starts right now. ♪. david: first up tonight despite an apparent deal on a covid relief bill there are many complaints about not enough money in the bill but will any bailout from congress be enough to save millions of small businesses struggling to survive new covid lockdowns? the key question may not be how to get a bigger handout from washington but how to get america working again. joining me now to discuss this is former cke restaurants

david perdue, the republican, got about 88,000 more than jon ossoff. so ossoff, and it's also true the other race, a jungle primary, a bunch of democrats, a bunch of republicans. more republican votes than democratic votes. so that's what democrats need to change in these senate races from november. what was the cause of that difference? why did biden win the state even as ossoff was running behind perdue? a lot of it has to do with this atlanta metro area here. there were some split ticket voters in the atlanta metro area. folks who went out and voted against donald trump in the presidential race but then voted for republicans in the senate races. so i give you an example. you can see it right here. fulton county, biggest in the state. this is where atlanta is. jon ossoff wins it big. it's a core democratic county. he wins it by 216,000 votes. over david perdue. compare that to the presidential race. joe biden wins the same county by 242,000 votes. difference of 26,000 votes. biden won the state by only 12,000. so again, it's a blowout for the democra

perdue is not showing up for the debate, ossoff is. any difference? >> i don't think as seven as a serious candidate. leland: you're saying the guy who got 46% of the vote and only was behind by 100,000 votes is not a serious candidate. >> i don't think a socialist should be a serious candidate in america. we have to deliver that message loud and clear to the american people. he reminds of georgia beto o'rourke. he is against your god, against your energy, this is terrible, terrible idea for america. i have explicit message for everyone, if you don't want soesism in this country you have to vote for perdue and loeffler. if you're mad at the presidential election, best way to get back at them to make sure they don't take think more power. leland: when you say serious candidate, isn't it up to the voters to decide ho is serious or not. >> of course they do. that is why we're here. to get the right candidate-elect. leland: you sort of engage, the general talking point has been to lump ossoff and warnock in with alexandria ocasio-cortez and members of the

ossoff, you say that the standard for a u.s. senator needs to be higher than simply senator perdue wasn't criminally prosecuted. so, what should that standard be? and what do you say to people who say the fact that the justice department isn't charging him may be exculpatory? >> well, the facts are that senator perdue, while he had access to classified information about covid-19, was, at the same time, telling the public it was no deadlier than the flu. and buying up shares in producers of vaccines and medical equipment, in private. all year, his excuse has been that he doesn't handle his own stock trades. but what federal investigators found is that he was personally directing stock trades. whether or not senator perdue has been indicted is not the point. and that's a pretty low bar for conduct by a sitting u.s. senator. he's been enriching himself, in office, while blocking financial relief for the people he represents. and lying about it, all year long. >> so president trump going to georgia to campaign for both senators in t

this is who georgia democrats raphael warnock and jon ossoff had headlined their event today. will they denounce this disgusting individual, wrote nathan brando the national republican senatorial committee? ossoff and warnock have ignored repeated. 18-year-old mimi groves, "the new york times" chronicled the plight of a virginia cheerleader who had her world up ended by something she said four years ago. in 2016 mimi groves recorded a 3-second video in which he used a racial slur. in late 2019 fellow high school student jimmy galligan solve a clip online. in the middle of this year after george floyd's death he posted the video and mimi became the center of a national social media firestorm. quickly the university of tennessee's cheerleading team canceled mimi groves' roster slot and she withdrew from the university back in june. the timing of the coverage doesn't make sense to fox news contributor joe concha. >> how is this a story if that video was released in june? why are we talking about it now? "the new york times" lionize and cancel culture this puts it on a national st

abby, you hear what jon ossoff had to say. how does it stand up to arguments being made by president trump? >> well, i mean, the arguments being made by president trump about the election, specifically, are completely invented and have no basis in fact. and i'm not saying that that's what's being said by judges all across the country, as they dismiss these cases one by one. and there is no track record of any kind of victory, on any of these fronts. so, the president is really kind of spitting in the air. and i thought it was notable, tonight, that he is already starting to pass the blame in georgia. blaming republicans who he calls rhinos. like, secretary of state, brad raffensperger. and lieutenant governor and even the governor, brian kemp. and saying that it would be their fault if kelly loeffler and david perdue lose their seats. it seems to suggest that the president is sensitive to this idea that he is not doing enough because, at the rally over the weekend, he spent so much time talking about all of these fantasies of

where there were quite a few viral moments that the ossoff campaign took advantage of. there's no doubt, big stakes here tonight in georgia. we'll see it play out in real time, 7:00 p.m. eastern time on cnn. >> that image in the split screen, that was something. i've got to wonder if senator perdue hasfy regrets not showing up. it is a runoff election that could decide who will control the senate. senator kelly loeffler and reverend warnock debating tonight on cnn at 7:00 p.m. eastern. don't go anywhere. >>> coming up for us, lisa ling is going to preview a powerful new episode of her show "this is life." first, christine romans with your "before the bell" report. >> the gulf between wall street and main street is getting wider. the u.s. economy added back 245,000 jobs in november but that was far short of estimates and it was the smallest gain in six months of this job market recovery. the unemployment rate did tick down to 6.7%. but that was largely because 400,000 people dropped out of the labor force. women and baby boomers have been leaving the job market in droves

we cannot have jon ossoff. purdue and loeffler are the only palatable choices for the american people in georgia. >> dan: don't take dan bongino's work, listen to warnock himself. it's on video. the fidel castro thing, socialism worked so well for the democrats in florida in the 2020 election when they got annihilated and lost double-digit percentage points in miami-dade here in florida where they used to do much better. this stuff is all on video. we don't have to speculate. it's out there for you to see. welcoming fidel castro? this guy was a murderer. you can see in on video. it's all out there. >> this is next level leftism. it's all out there. it's another aoc and perhaps even worse than aoc if that's even possible. on top of that you've got a scandal at this church camp he ran where this horrible victim, this victim spoke out in this horrible thing happened to him when he was doused with urine and locked outside. this individual should not be running for any sort of office and this is why it's so importan

ossoff chose to participate. david perdue did not. what georgia public broadcasting did was put an empty lectern on stage and jon ossoff took questions from reporters for more than 30 minutes. he was very critical of david perdue's decision to not participate in the debate tonight. he's been critical of perdue avoiding questions from reporters in general. in fact, perdue backed out of a debate at the late stages of the general election as well after a debate where there were many viral moments ossoff and his campaign took advantage of. wolf, in general, just as reporters and journalists have had a difficult time getting the republicans, both loeffler and perdue to answer our questions at all. my colleague followed perdue around all week, tried to get him to sit down with an interview for cnn and it did not happen. tonight this is a key opportunity for voters to see and measure up these candidates. kelly loeffler and rafael warnock happening here on cnn at 7:00 p.m. even if you don't live in georgia this has natio

rebuild our economy. >> sandra: to be clear he said you can send it ossoff to the senate, not ossoff and warnock. he did add in campaigns for warnock in the past but not since the allegations against him surfaced. bill? >> ex-presidents don't like to be associated with people that are not going to win or don't seem to have a chance and it looks like former president obama is shying away from mr. warnock. it also proves that the focus of republican attacks on mr. warnock's statements and record, i think it's having an effect. i think he's too far to the left for georgia and i don't think that's who they want to have in washington at a time when the democrats have the house and of the white house. so i think it's having any fact, there are some things that he just won't answer. >> sandra: charlie hurt teed off on that on hannity last night about these candidates just being the tip of the spirit of radical democrats. watch. >> you have immigrants run by people who want to get free health care to illegal aliens, take away people's gun rights and it defunded the police. these are really,

that is why we need jon ossoff and warnock. they have spent their lifetimes their work helps actually georgiaens, understanding lives and doing the work necessary to get them to the relief they need. >> while kemp hasn't done much more rural hospitals and covid relief and anything for people losing their jobs, one thing he's dedicated to is voter suppression. what kinds of challenges are republicans throwing up to prevent people from expressing voices in the run off. changing poll sites and times to early vote. what challenges are you and other organizations facing when it comes to voter suppression? >> we have been successful in helping expand access to early voting locations. i was in cob county one of the counties that shut down several of the locations that were active during the general election. i was at the community center and the line was out the door. and down the street. it was moving quickly. we also know that true the vote, texas based conservative organization that prides itself on voter intimidation sued -- chall

meanwhile, purdue's opponent jon ossoff involved in a scandal of his own. according to reports, the democrat is very cozy with communist china party. he received compensation from the chinese state backed media outlet. as a free beacon and covered in 20 on twitter, he encouraged everyone to follow next day's news is a propaganda for the communist party. ksining is kayleigh mcenany, selcome to the show, thank you for joining us tonight. these are relations tonight about jon ossoff but we have known raphael warnock's history. i don't need to say but just listen to raphael warnock talk about raphael warnock. how do you gauge the state of the race right now? how do you feel that it backs up? do we have a decent shot in either/or both of the races? >> yes, we do. these candidates you cannot get worse than raphael warnock or jon ossoff. the things you listedua out shod be disqualifying but on top of everything you listed, a guy invited fidel castro to come and speak who praised marxism and anti-semitic and anti-american things and said you cannot serve god in the
