brian kemp, vote him the hell out of office, please. his rates are so low, his approval rating now, i think it has just reached a record low. they've rejected five separate appeals for an independent and comprehensive audit of signatures in fulton county, even without an audit, the number of fraudulent ballots we've identified across the state is staggering. over 10,300 ballots in georgia where cast by individuals whose names and dates of birth match georgia residents who died in 2020 and prior to the election. more than 2,500 ballots were cast by individuals whose names and dates of birth match incarcerated felons in georgia prison, people who were not allowed to vote. more than 4,500 illegal ballots were cast by individuals who do not appear on the state's own voter rolls. over 18,000 illegal ballots were cast by individuals who registered to vote using an address listed as vacant, according to the postal service. at least 88,000 ballots in georgia were cast by people whose registrations were illegally back-dated. 60,000 votes, each o

i feel like what's happened since the november election, it feels like the person who brian kemp and mr. raffensperger are most afraid of right now is president trump with the way that he has come down on them with both feet, trying to get them to falsify election results. this tape over the weekend essentially directing raffensperger and his office to counterfeit the election results, to declare that trump won despite what the results were in georgia. and it is -- you know, it's heartening to hear on that tape raffensperger say, no, mr. president, your facts here are wrong. but to hear them face that wrath from the president, i just have to ask you what kind of an -- how that changes things in terms of this all-important election, how that changes the dynamics in the state, and what you make of how they have, in effect, stood up to the president with what he's done since the election. >> well, i would cast it slightly differently. they aren't defending the right of voters. they're defending a system that they created. it was under brian kemp that the state authorized the single larg

i think that, really, what's going on is that brad raffensperger and brian kemp are afraid of georgia voters, because now they know that all georgia voters who are eligible to vote will have the opportunity to be heard. >> i don't know georgia republican officials as well as you do. i feel like in what's happened since the november election, it feels like the person who brian kemp and mr. raffensperger are most afraid of right now is president trump, with the way that he has come down on them with both feet, trying to get them to falsify election results. this tape over the weekend, essentially, directly raffensperger and his office to counterfeit the election results to declare that trump won, despite what the results were in georgia, and it is, you know, it's heartening to hear on that tape raffensperger say, no, mr. president, your facts here are wrong. but to hear them face that wrath from the president -- i just have to ask you, what kind of -- how that changes things in terms of this all-important election, how that changes the dynamics in the state, and what you make of how the

i'm not brian kemp. mouse .-dot-- malfeasance doesn't disappear because it goes underground and what happened in part was that the same structures that have been deeply problematic in georgia for the last decade, it rears its ugly head again yesterday, but thinly on top of it in confidence and that in confidence began with what brian kemp said when he was secretary of state and with brad raffensperger because despite the constitutional obligation they hold to be the superintendent of elections meaning they are responsible for directing, training and investing in those elections they basically said it's all on the county. of the constitution doesn't say that. the law gives counties certain responsibilities, but what raffensperger did was refuse to do his job and if so counties, not just by colton, the two largest in the state, but smaller counties, republican counties all experienced terrible results from these new machines that brad purchased at the cost of $107 million. i'm bringing this to a close. $107 millio

in moments, we'll talk to brian kemp. meanwhile, the work goes on. the fbi putting law enforcements on high alert to find those that put pipe bombs at the entrance to the rnc and dnc. that bomber is at large. we have 21,000 and 25,000 national guard troops for securing this small region here. that raises questions about whether or not enough resources are being allocated to other targets that may be fanning out across the country. ken cuccinelli joins me now. thanks for being here. >> good to be with you. always a pleasure. >> martha: so i want to get to this news that just broke a short time ago, which is that 12 members of the national guard were pulled from their duty here due to what was described as inappropriate texts or social media. what do you have to say about that? what do you know about that situation? >> well, first of all, my understanding as of the time we sit here, it's just what you said. they identified inappropriate type of statements. there's no, i repeat no identified threat from any of these people to the inauguration or any sug

so much so that the governor, brian kemp, is opening the world congress center behind me to act as a make-shift field hospital of sorts, 60 beds will be available for overflow. the health systems here are overwhelmed by the surges we're seeing in the winter. here's what the governor had to say about the field hospital behind me, yesterday. >> this is to help alleviate strains on our hospitals in the metro area as well as across the state. that facility will begin acceptiaccep accepting patients at the end of this week. >> reporter: i did speak to the governor's office a short time ago, they said today they are going to start accepting people inside that facility. hospitalizations here also hitting records. more than 5,000 georgians waking up in the hospital. and this is the third time this is hospital has been put to use this year. >> as the surge is taking place, more states are reporting cases of the new, more contagious covid strain first detected in the uk. let's go to elizabeth cohen. elizabeth, three new cases reported in san diego, that's on top of the case, possibly two, in c

he's attacked him, brian kemp. he's attacked brad roethlisburger. he talked about the election being illegal and immoral. he may have a terrific rally tonight in georgia and be the difference of getting the republicans out. but almost everything he's done it seems to me has complicated the effort of loeffler and purdue to get elected. think of his veto of the national defense authorization act. you know, a very popular act in a state with as many military as georgia has. that's an up popular vote. you had -- put purdue and loeffler in a tough spot there. you had his call for the $2,000 direct payment that was blocked by the republican senate majority leader, mitch mcconnell and then you've now got the democrats saying elect the democrats. put chuck schumer in charge and you get your $2,000 direct payment. seems that the president has intentionally or not made it much more difficult -- i'm not saying they're not going to win but mated it more difficult for these two incumbents to hold on to their positions. >> if you're a democrat, you have to be ple

we will work closely with brian kemp, it's important to get out to vote for brad." the president tweeting, "vote for brian kemp, he will be a great governor with the state of georgia!" clearly his sentiments have changed. this morning on fox news, brad raffensperger was defending his decision to release the audio transcript of that phone call he had with the president on sund sunday. >> they weren't actually supported. i corrected him on his phone call and obviously, the same pieces of disinformation. that is where we had a press conference yesterday. he has said over a thousand people who are dead voted in georgia. we go we expect we will hear a lot from president trump, he will address the big march year in washington, d.c., and then tomorrow is the date when the electors will be certified, the vice president pence will be providing over all of that, his office telling me the vice president will follow the law, he will act tomorrow with fidelity to the law and the constitution. we will see how it goes. dana? >> dana: we will. thank you. senator josh hawley blastin

first, do they have the resources, the brian kemp who had a falling out with the president, said they do have the resources and they are ready. he perceived the threat is low against the state of georgia. and against the capitol here. which is an interesting statement given the fact that georgia played such a pivotal role in two critical elections, voting for joe biden and then overturning and making the senate democratic. here is security measures that are being worked on right now. these are not a reaction as to what happened in washington. this is a long-term security issue they've been wering on. it is a permanent fence and not in place by this weekend or in any time for the inauguration. let me point out, they have this. this is the kind of security fencing you may have seen around the capitol on the day of the protests. it was pretty preliminarisy stuff and any dedicated crowd to easily punch through. now they have beefed up the security presence here. in fact, you could see you have an armed vehicle like this one right here. this is belonging to the georgia state patrol. so you

he lashed out against brian kemp saying that he was a smuk fchmur endorsing him in 2018. when he spoke and the general counsel spoke, they laid out the same facts over and over and over again. joe biden won georgia and there was no fraud. >> i have a couple more people to bring in. how did the president react when he just said look, joe biden won georgia. what was the reaction of the president? what was the tenor of that from him. >> he didn't really take it in stride. like i said earlier he suggested that republicans are angry in georgia. people in georgia are angry. if it comes down to it, and democrats could flip the senate and it could rest in the hands of brian kemp and rashensburger. >> stay where you are, we're joined now by kimberly atkins. a senior opinion writer for the boston globe. what a conversation to jump into, guys. jeff, you first, has there been an official response from the white house to this audio that has been leaked? >> not that i have seen yet. it is clearly explosive. it is amazing in a way this is coming out right now at the beginning of january

kemp when he was a trump ally. now of course the governor is a trump target so she can't side with governor kemp. she has to side with president trump because both of them know they don't just need georgia republicans to come out and vote for them tomorrow. they need trump republicans to come out and vote for them tomorrow. and those are not necessarily the same basket of voters, and i think that's also what you saw when you saw gabriel sterling get up and give the press conference today in georgia, really making a full throated endorsement of voter participation. something you don't hear as someone who's covered georgia republicans for a long time when i covered the legislature really saying everybody's vote should count, and if you believe the election was stolen you should come out tomorrow as a way to push back against that. show just how concerned republicans are that the president's messages of disinformation about a rigged election he lost could be having an impact on the republican voters that are largely g

and then in the afternoon he's tweeting more attacks on governor brian kemp and it's very, very disconcerting for them. >> data from the early vote shows the turnout was very strong, particularly in districts that usually vote democratic. it's lagging in districts that typically vote more conservatively. what is your read on the votes that have already been cast and whether that trend might continue through tuesday? >> yeah. as you mentioned, more than 3 million people have already cast their ballots. that's a record for a statewide runoff. and that would be in the same ballpark we'd expect to see on a general election that's not a presidential election. so far you're seeing tremendous early turnout in democratic strongholds like metro atlanta and you're seeing less voter participation in republican-leaning areas like north and northwest georgia, which is exactly why president trump's visit will be in the city of dalton, which is in northwest georgia, one of the areas where they're lagging. this is to be expected. republicans came into this knowing that they would have to make up a lot of los

if you keep in mind that brian kemp, the governor here, a republican is still very popular. connell: want to show video while we're talking, joe biden speaking of the president-elect is now at the event in the atlanta area where he is trying to rally the troops. there is the president-elect trying to get voters show upholding one of his now patented drive-in rallies. alicia, the president will be in the northern part of the state later today. it is interesting because you don't see the same type of rallies that we saw you know, traditional political rallies on the democratic side. the president will try to rally the troops in the traditional way tonight in northern georgia. we'll see if it works. reporter: all about turnout. all about the energy here that the president is able to bring here. that is what republicans are hoping he is able to do. connell: right. there seems to be a lot of energy on the ground when you speak to people. alicia acuna live here in marietta as the president-elect continues those remarks at that drive-in rally in the atlanta area we talked about ear

i beat her two years ago with a bad candidate, brian kemp. but they took, the democrats took the republicans to lunch because the secretary of state had no clue what the hell was happening. unless he did have a clue. that is interesting. maybe i was with the other side but we've been trying to get verifications of signatures in n in fulton county. they won't let us do it. the only reason they won't because we'll find things of hundreds of thousands. why wouldn't they let us verify signatures in fulton county which is known for being very corrupt? they won't do it. they go to some other county where you would live. i said that is not the pom. the problem is fulton county, home of stacey abrams. she did a good job. i have congratulate her but it was done in such a way we can't let this stuff happen. we won't have a country if it happens. as a result georgia's absentee ballot rejection rate was more than 10 times lower than previous levels because the criteria was so off. 48 counties in georgia with thousands and thousands of votes rejected zero

as you heard, trump say the other night, he's going to take on brian kemp, the governor of georgia. he's probably going to take on john thune, the senator from south dakota. it's not that his wrath isn't real. they decided putting the country behind their ambition, that they have all this desire with no conviction is somehow okay. that piece you showed by the a.p. i think is somehow mystifying. the idea there is any choice between donald trump and the future of the country, that somehow any of this is going to go down like donald trump wants it to. he sends out this tweet basically saying mike pence can do this. he can't. trump knows that. his lawyers know that. we have an establishment piece of the party that was too bereft as you mention of principle and has been laid bare by trump. too many of them have stayed too silent for too long and they think that's going to make them okay, serve them well. then you have people like hawley and cotton and cruz and all these other folks who think somehow donald trump is going to go away and just layout the red carpet for him for one of them o

. >> that was georgia republican governor brian kemp on president trump's monday rally for the state's two republican senate candidates. but governor kemp is not the only person who likely won't be attending. republican senator david perdue is currently off the trail and in quarantine after being exposed to someone who tested positive so someone that tested positive for covid-19. this comes as a number of senate republicans voted. pricilla thomas has more. >> senator purdue is having to change his strategy. he held his 100th event campaigning right before he found out he was exposed to someone that tested positive for covid-19. he acknowledged it earlier this hour. >> with an abundance of caution we decided to go into quarantine these last few days. it's terrible timing, but we're not going to miss a step, we will participate in all of the events as if i was there. >> the question is will voters turn out to those virtual events. including president trump on monday and also vice president pence, not to mention the democratic candidates that will be out campaigning. >> thank you as alway

raffensperger takes right after brian kemp him who preceded him in the office. ever since he was elected coming into office after the 2018 election, brad raffensperger has pulled tricks. still dealing within voting within a pandemic and how it has disproportionally impacted people of color, brad raffensperger has sided with republicans who have been talking about issues around voter fraud -- even though we have seen raffensperger and other members of his staff rightfully saying there have not been -- there is no evidence of widespread issues, no evidence of x, y, z. the process has gone smoothly. we have seen doubletalking in providing support for some of the less extreme allegations. we have seen use of the investigations of his office leveraged to tech organizations. the new georgia project early in the run-up period were attacked by raffensperger's office based on wild claims they were trying to register people in new york city when in fact it was a matter of volunteers who were doing postcards, as we all know. volunteers all over the country have been sendin

kemp's win legitimate. you didn't challenge it with courts but you said you had serious issues with. right now jon oshoff is accusing republicans of trying suppress and disenfranchise black voters. how do you say who looks at this and say when joe biden wins democrats say everything went simmingly or democrats lose and then all of a sudden the fix is in? >> we have been very consistent about the description of and the discussion of voter suppression. any attempt to prevent or discourage voter from casting a ballot is voter suppression. between 2018 and 2020 we had successful lawsuits and successful legislation that expanded access to the right to vote including the exact match program and expanding access to vote-by-mail to make sure that certain match protocols were used across the state but ensured that election workers had the resources they needed to support their vote. what jon is referring to is the true vote challenge to 364,000 georgia voters based on the pretext that because they may have thwarted

that is the governor of georgia, governor brian kemp addressing the people there, waiting for the results. control of the senate is up for grabs tonight. as we mentioned two senate runoffs. if the two democrats win, the democrats will control the u.s. senate. we're going to have much more coverage ahead on "nightly news" and our local news cast at 6:00. >>> lawmakers announced today they're pushing for it. an reintroduced the election day holiday act. maintains that people should not be forced to choose between their job or family in order to exercise their right to vote. >> yep, so the election was a couple of months ago, but it's again a big night of politics around the country, specifically though in georgia. we'll be tracking that story at 6:00. thanks for joining us at 5:00. >> hope to see you soon. >>> tonight, no charges for the police officer who shot jacob blake in the back. the d.a. announcing the white officer who shot blake, a black man, seven times at close range and paralyzed him will face no criminal counts a state of emergency declared in kenosha ahead of potential over th

brian kemp, of course, had successfully repressed votes to seal the governornatorial election in 2016, so it was supposed to be in the bag, and you think particularly tap dances on donald trump's last nerve that it was young people, generation z, millennials and black women who snatched georgia back from his clutches. it was latosha brown and so many people that have been registering brand new high school graduates between the last election and this runoff, who had been getting out the vote, who had been driving a bus all around that state, who had been setting up food trucks, actually having a plan. they have shown us through the grassroots to the grass tops, we should not be counting the south out. you've got randall wood in bir ming ham, you have tammy in memphis, they are not willing to surrender power to white supremacists who would rather drag this back to antebellum years. the reference of the moment is this is what desperation looks like. he clearly does not care about following the law than he did the day before, and we are witnessing a desperate, desperate man. guess who bro

kemp. governor, happy saturday. thank you for taking time. >> good to be with you, griff. >> you just heard mark meredith's report there, governor. what is your assessment of the biden administration and what president biden said so far? >> well, we're still trying to really get some guidance on exactly what they're going to do with the vaccine. we know for right now, that our supply is going to remain steady. we need more. i think you've been hearing that from all of the states, that they've gotten ramped up and getting to the point we can't do more without more doses and you know, we're kind of waiting to see what that's going to look like, when that will happen. thankfully we're almost done with our long-term care facilities in the state and that's going to free up about 40,000 extra doses a week that we can continue to give that those over 65. we expanded that criteria before the c.d.c. did so we can move the needle along as get the vaccine out as quickly as possible. i'm sure we'll be

paul: is attacks on brian kemp, governor of georgia and secretary of state, kim, basically saying will help in officials don't really support you and your coach. you can't have helped with turnout either. kim: absolutely not. after that the difficult position the president put the two republican candidates in as they were campaigning with that $2000 check when he went and called for those putting them in a position where they had to make a choice between reporting him or not, also the veto of the defense authorization bill which contained hikes for military members, there are a lot of military aces in georgia. he not only discouraged people from coming out under kat the candidates in the state. paul: kim, there are some reports the president was told colleagues he was pleased perdue and loeffler republicans lost because they didn't support him enough and there's some people who believe senior brokers of the senate donald trump didn't really want the races to be one because he wanted to punish mitch mcconnell and the senate leaders because they didn't support him enough after the electi

i want to listen to something georgia's republican governor, brian kemp, said about the president's attempts to pressure your secretary of state in that extraordinary hour-long phone conversation. listen to this. >> i'm not going to fall into the trap of this is a big distraction because it's not. people don't need to pay attention to it. nothing else matters for the next 24 hours. people need to do what the president and what myself and a lot of other people want people to do, that's to get out and vote for david perdue and kelly loeffler. >> what do you say, mayor, to the governor's insistence that the president's efforts to pressure the secretary of state is simply a distraction? >> how can we not pay attention to the president of the united states of america attempting to rig an election? i don't know what's more important to our democracy. we certainly have to pay attention to it and we certainly have to act accordingly when given the opportunity tomorrow to go and vote. donald trump only has a couple more weeks to be president of the united states, but you have two senators who will no

. >> georgia's republican governor, brian kemp, who has been a frequent target of the president's attacks said the call was a distraction. the senate's second ranking democrat had this to say. his disgraceful efforts to intimidate an elected official into deliberately changing and misrepresenting the legally con frmed vote totals in his state strikes at the heart of our democracy and merits nothing less than a criminal investigation. and senate minority leader chuck schumer called on his republican colleagues in a tweet that said, quote, you want to investigate election fraud? start with this. former u.s. attorney preet bharara expressed concern about the legal implications of the president's statements. >> if you engage in some effort to solicit and procure election fraud and knowingly do that, that's a state crime and state crimes are not subject to presidential pardon, even if it's possible to pardon himself, which i don't believe it is. the question is what did the president intend. a lot of people like to jump to the conclusion, saying he doesn't know what he's talking about. he actu

will he attack brian kemp? will he continue to attack the secretary of state here brad raffensperger. it is causing division among republicans, i talked to the local chairwoman, die an putnam. she is confident that voters will turn out but she is worried about the division. >> there is always concern when there is a divide in the party but no, the base is strong the republican base is strong. we want to keep it that way. that is why i feel like the republicans will turn out tomorrow and we will keep the senate. reporter: now, david, this morning at 3:00 in the morning i showed up, freezing, the first guy in line, blake, where are you from, how are you long been here? >> i'm from san diego, california, i've been here since january 1st. reporter: why did you come? >> i wanted to show my sport for president. he has not stopped fighting for america. i will not give up on him. i want to be here to show my support from that. reporter: you're not from georgia but a lot of voters are. how important is the election tomo

by the way, brian kemp is coming up, the governor from georgia. i guarantee you, i will kick charge these thing and get it working. see you at the top of the hour here in atlanta. >> dana: no one runs a billboard like bill hemmer. thank you. [laughs] republican lawmakers getting ready to challenge the electoral college results from several battleground states. more than 100 house republicans are preparing to object when congress meets on wednesday. did the media misjudge the support for this? fox news media analyst how we kirk joins me know. hi, how are you? what you think about that? >> long answer, yes, the media portrayed this, when josh hawley and ted cruz signed on, back with the senators, it became clear this was a severe miscalculation by the press line. this is now a movement, one that is badly divided. nobody involved in this effort that we will see on the hill thanks it will stop joe biden being sworn in, but given the deep distrust of the media in this country and the fact that he obtains an iron grade, we will see the country that cont

kemp, alaska republican senator lisa murkowski and south carolina republican representative tom rice, according to people familiar with the plan. >> he is still wanting to secure whatever prshure he can over the republican senators who still, they don't control the state of his presidency, that is now over but they do control whether donald trump goes down in history as the first prt or former president ever to be convicted and in an impeachment trial so i think trump is looking for any kind of power that he can still exert over republicans. >> that's right, people. trump is threatening to form a new political party as a way to punish republicans without betray him. and you know he's serious because he made jared kushner google how to start political parties, this shit is on. and by the way, it seems unfair to get to pick a name for your party like patriot party, because you got to wait until everyone else picked boring words and then you just jump in, okay, are you democrats and republicans, coolk we'll be the explosive orgasm party. and i will be honest, i don't actually get donald

rino governor brian kemp in his state of the state message failed to even mention lek tomorrow integrity -- electoral integrity. the democrats, now officially led by stacey abrams and credited with gaining control of both u.s. senate seats in the runoffs, no one in georgia has been more supportive of president trump though than former state representative vernon jones who is now a republican. leaving the democrat party. vernon, great to have you with us. this is an extraordinary time for the country. also the state of georgia. it looks divisive and getting ugh i willier -- uglier, if that's imaginable, in the state of georgia. your thoughts. >> first of all, lou, i, my term ended in the state legislature. i am now founder of waking up america.u.s. where we're carrying our conservative message across the country. let me say this, what is happening in georgia, the divisiveness, when you start to see republicans not stick thing together, i think that is -- sticking together, i think that is a result of what happened in this election. georgia's a red state but not a blue state. the republica
