>>> A NAIL-BITER SENATE RACE HEATING UP IN OHIO.
WHICH COULD DETERMINE THE BALANCE OF POWER IN THE SENATE.
>> WITHIN THE HOUR, OHIO'S HIGHLY ANTICIPATED SENATE
DEBATE, REPUBLICAN J.D. VANCE AND DEMOCRAT TIM RYAN WILL GO
HEAD TO HEAD FOR THE ONLY TIME.
>> REPUBLICANS WOULD NOT HAVE SAID THIS RACE WAS AS CLOSE AS
IT HAD BEEN.
>> GOT A NICE LITTLE CROWD FOR YOU.
YOU'LL HOP OUT, SAY A FEW WORDS.
>> BEAUTIFUL.
>> THE REPORTER, HE IS GOING TO BE NERVOUS.
SAYING OFF THE RECORD.
>> OH, REALLY?
>> WE'LL SEE.
>> HOW ABOUT THIS? ANSWER A COUPLE YOURSELF.
I'M GOING TO STICK OUT FROM HIM.
>> LIKE IT.
>> ALL RIGHT. ARE WE READY?
>> LET'S GO DO IT.
>> THANK YOU, EVERYBODY. APPRECIATE YOU COMING OUT.
J.D. VANCE IS GOING TO GET A GOOD WELCOMING TO OHIO POLITICS.
AND WE'RE GOING TO GO KICK SOME ASS TONIGHT.
[ CHEERING ]
>> INCREDIBLY CLOSE RACES FOR A COUPLE OF CRUCIAL SENATE SEATS.
>> REPUBLICANS HAVING A HARD TIME IN OHIO.
EVEN GEORGIA.
>> HERSCHEL WALKER IN GEORGIA IS A REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE TRUMP
WANTED IS BEHIND THE BALL TO SENATOR RAPHAEL WARNOCK.
>> WARNOCK, WHO IS STAUNCH
>> WARNOCK, WHO IS STA-- WALKERS OPPOSED TO ABORTION.
>> TWO YEARS IS ENOUGH OF THIS.
>> WE NEED MORE WARNOCK.
>> TO MAKE CONNECTIONS TO THE ROAD THAT CONNECTS US RATHER
THAN GIVE IN THE FORCES THAT WANT TO DIVIDE US.
>> DONALD TRUMP INTERVENED IN PRIMARY, GOT THE CANDIDATES HE
WANTED. THOSE CANDIDATES HAVE BEEN
STRUGGLING. CAN YOU IMAGINE ONE GUY SAYING
OUT OF ONE SIDE OF HIS MOUTH HE IS PRO COP AND OUT OF THE OTHER
SIDE OF HIS MOUTH, HE IS RAISING MONEY FOR THE INSURRECTIONISTS
WHO WERE BEATING UP THE CAPITOL POLICE?
>> I WAS FEISTY.
>> VERY CLOSE TO HALLOWEEN, AND TIM RYAN HAS PUT ON A COSTUME.
>> WHERE HE PRETENDS TO BE A REASONABLE MODERATE.
>> IN FACT, YOU CONSISTENTLY TOE THE PARTY LINE.
>> THESE ARE TRULY TWO OF THE MOST PIVOTAL RACES IN THE
COUNTRY. IN THESE TWO STATES, TRUMP
REALLY LOOMS LARGE.
>> J.D. IS KISSING MY ASS, HE WANTS MY SUPPORT.
HE SAID SOME BAD THINGS ABOUT ME BUT THEN HE FELL IN LOVE.
>> HOW CAN DEMOCRATS SEIZE ON THIS MOMENT?
>> I'M FOR OHIO. I DON'T KISS ANYONE'S ASS LIKE
HIM. OHIO NEEDS AN ASS KICKER, NOT AN
ASS KICKER.
>> HERE WE GO.
>> OH, OH MY GOD!
>> WOW.
>> THAT'S GOOD.
>> THIS IS DELICIOUS. THIS IS --
>> I LET HER PICK FIRST BECAUSE SHE IS THE GUEST.
>> I'M EXCITED TO HAVE ERRIN HAINES WITH US TODAY.
WELCOME TO "THE CIRCUS."
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. IT'S GOOD TO BE HERE.
>> IT WILL BE PERFECT TO HAVE YOU FOR THIS WEEK.
>> I AGREE.
>> OKAY. SO THE NATIONAL MACRO
ENVIRONMENT HAS CHANGED IN FAVOR OF REPUBLICANS.
THE ECONOMY IS BAD, AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS LIKE ON
OFFENSE NOW ON INFLATION, CRIME, IMMIGRATION.
IN THE SPRING, McCONNELL IS LIKE IF WE HAVE GOOD CANDIDATES,
WE'RE ALL SET FOR THE SENATE.
>> I'M LOOKING FOR CANDIDATES WHO CAN APPEAL TO SUBURBAN
VOTERS AND ACTUALLY WIN IN NOVEMBER.
>> IT WAS LIKE HE WAS SAYING DON'T BLAME ME IF THIS DOESN'T
WORK OUT. DONALD TRUMP PICKED A WHOLE
BUNCH OF CRAZY PEOPLE.
>> AND HE DID.
>> CANDIDATE QUALITY.
>> THERE IS NOT TWO STATES THAT ARE MORE ILLUSTRATIVE OF THE
PROBLEM OF TRUMP AS GEORGIA AND THE STATE WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW.
>> YEAH.
>> OHIO.
>> THIS IS A SOLID RED STATE.
>> TRUMP WON OHIO BY 8 POINTS.
>> FOR THE SECOND TIME.
>> YEAH.
>> ANY REPUBLICAN NOMINEE SHOULD BE BLOWING THE DEMOCRAT AWAY,
AND THAT'S NOT THE CASE.
>> THE DEMOCRATS HAVE A CHANCE HERE.
THEY HAVE A SUPER OHIO CANDIDATE IN TIM RYAN.
HE GREW UP BLAAUW COLLAR, SINGLE MOM, NORTHEAST OHIO THROUGH AND
THROUGH. ELECTED TO CONGRESS WHEN HE WAS
29 YEARS OLD. AND THEN HE IS RUNNING AGAINST
J.D. VANCE.
>> "HILLBILLY ELEGY."
>> THE GUY WRITES "HILLBILLY ELEGY" A HUGE BEST-SELLER.
BUT NOT GOING TO GET THE OHIO SENATE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION
WITHOUT DONALD TRUMP. J.D. HAS NOT BEEN A GOOD
CANDIDATE.
>> WELL, HE HASN'T BEEN MUCH OF A CANDIDATE AT ALL.
HE DOESN'T EVEN CAMPAIGN.
>> HE IS A SILICON VALLEY VENTURE CAPITALIST.
HE COMES BACK TO OHIO AND RUNS FOR SENATE.
THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS TIM RYAN HAS SEIZED ON.
>> YOU WENT OFF TO CALIFORNIA. YOU WERE DRINKING WINE AND
EATING CHEESE AND YOU SAID I DON'T EVEN FEEL COMFORTABLE IN
OHIO ANYMORE.
>> MOST OF THE TIME YOU HAVE REPUBLICANS CASTING DEMOCRATS AS
THESE COASTAL ELITES. RIGHT?
YET TIM RYAN ABLE TO CAST J.D. VANCE AS YALE EDUCATED VENTURE
CAPITALIST WHO ABANDONED OHIO.
>> YES.
>> I AM MR. OHIO.
>> THEN THERE IS GEORGIA.
>> YOU STARTED WRITING THERE.
>> MY FIRST JOB WAS FOR THIS SMALL BLACK PAPER CALLED "THE
ATLANTA DAILY WORLD." AND I WAS POUNDING THE PAVEMENT
IN THE VERY NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE RAPHAEL WARNOCK PREACHES.
I'VE KNOWN HIM FOR A LONG TIME. COVERED STACEY ABRAMS FOR A LONG
TIME.
>> THE SENATE IS AN INTERESTING SITUATION, RIGHT?
>> WARNOCK VERSUS HERSCHEL WALKER WHO IS THE GREATEST
RUNNING BACK IN THE HISTORY OF UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA.
>> HERSCHEL, THERE IS A HOLE, HE IS RUNNING OVER PEOPLE!
OH, YOU HERSCHEL WALKER!
>> WITHOUT TRUMP SAYING YOU SHOULD RUN.
>> RUN, HERSCHEL.
>> HERSCHEL IS TRUMP'S CREATION. BUT THE POWER OF HIM IS NOT DUE
TO TRUMP.
>> IT'S A SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP FOR SURE.
>> HERSCHEL WALKER WAS PROBLEMATIC CANDIDATE FROM DAY
ONE.
>> SURE.
>> PUT A GUN TO THE HEAD OF HIS EX-WIFE WHO WAS WILLING TO GO ON
TELEVISION AND SAY THAT.
>> ADS ARE RUNNING NONSTOP IN GEORGIA.
>> HE HELD THE GUN TO MY TEMPLE AND SAID HE WAS GOING TO BLOW MY
BRAINS OUT.
>> AND THEN LAST WEEK DAILY BEAST WRITES A STORY.
>> THAT SAYS THAT AN OLD GIRLFRIEND OF HIS HAD AN
ABORTION THAT HE PAID FOR AND HE THEN SENT HER A GET WELL CARD.
THERE ARE RECEIPTS.
>> AND THEN OF COURSE WALKER SAID ANOTHER ONE AND IT TURNS
OUT SHE HAS ONE OF HIS CHILDREN.
>> OH, MY GOSH.
>> LIFE COMES AT YOU FAST.
>> ON FRIDAY, THE GEORGIA SENATE DEBATE TAKES PLACE.
>> YEAH THINKING DEBATE IS A BIG DEAL.
>> IN A RACE WE ALREADY KNOW IS GOING TO BE A BIG FIGHT, IT'S A
HUGE DEAL.
>> RIGHT? IF YOU THINK ABOUT THESE TWO
STATES, OHIO AND GEORGIA, THERE ARE TWO THINGS THEY HAVE IN
COMMON. ONE, DONALD TRUMP BASICALLY
PICKED THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE.
>> YEP.
>> AND THE OTHER IS THEY'RE BOTH CRAZY SPORTS MAD STATES.
SO WHAT DO WE HAVE? BUCKEYES AND BULLDOGS.
>> 3.6 MILLION HITS ON THE ASS KISSER ONE.
>> WE NEED LEADERS WHO HAVE COURAGE TO TAKE ON THEIR OWN
PARTY, AND I'VE PROVEN THAT, AND HE WAS CALLED AN ASS KISSER BY
THE FORMER PRESIDENT.
>> WE'RE LIKE 600,000 TODAY.
>> I MEAN, THAT WAS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT.
>> OH, WHAT A NIGHT, HUH? WELL, WE CRUSHED THEM AT THE
DEBATE AND WAKE UP THIS MORNING AND I DO MORNING JOE, AND I SEE
MY WIFE HAVING A CUP OF COFFEE. SHE IS NOW YOU GOT TO GO OUT AND
WATER THE GRASS, AND MAKE SURE YOU GRAB THE GARBAGE CAN.
YOU'RE HOPE FOR TWO HOURS, YOU BETTER, YEAH.
ALL RIGHT. BIG HUG TO YOU.
THANKS. ALL RIGHT.
SEE YOU, BYE.
>> ALL RIGHT. YOU READY FOR QUESTIONS LIST?
>> YEP, LET'S DO IT.
>> WE DO. HI, GUYS.
>> HOW ARE YOU?
>> HEY, JOHNNY, WHAT'S UP?
>> THANK YOU FOR KICKING ASS FOR THE WORKING CLASS.
>> OH, YOU GOT IT.
>> GREAT TO BE HERE.
>> THANK YOU.
>> RIGHT BY THE -- [ LAUGHTER ]
>> WATCH. MY MOM IS ALREADY MAD AT ME FOR
SWEARING. HOW ARE YOU DOING?
GOOD TO SEE YOU. I'M DOING GREAT.
HOW ARE YOU?
>> PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SURPRISED TO SEE REINECK AND NECK WITH J.D.
VANCE.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> HE IS NOT GETTING THE SUPPORT FROM THE DEMOCRATIC
INFRASTRUCTURE, SOME OF THE SUPERPACS THAT GIVE MONEY TO
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES.
>> J.D. VANCE, HE'S GOT TWO DONORS, PETER THIEL GAVE HIM $60
MILLION AND DONALD TRUMP GAVE HIM MONEY.
95% OF OUR DONATIONS ARE UNDER $100.
>> RYAN HAS A SHORT WINDOW TO TRY TO EITHER TURN THAT AROUND
AND GET THESE BIG DEMOCRATIC GROUPS A REASON TO GIVE MONEY TO
HIS RACE, OR JUST CONVINCE DEMOCRATS ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO
FEED HIS CAMPAIGN.
>> WE'RE BEING FUELLED BY AVERAGE PEOPLE.
I GET LITTLE NOTES WITH A CHECK FOR $10 THAT SAY I'M HERE TO
HELP YOU, HONEY. BUT THIS IS THE BEST I CAN DO.
THAT'S WHO I'M RUNNING FOR. LET'S GO OUT AND WIN THIS THING!
[ APPLAUSE ]
>> DO YOU THINK THAT THE TRUMP ENDORSEMENT OF J.D. HAS BEEN A
BENEFIT TO YOU?
>> YEAH, YEAH. I THINK IT'S -- BECAUSE IT'S
REALLY TIED HIM INTO THE EXTREMISTS.
YOU KNOW, HE IS WITH DON JR. AND MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE AND THERE
IS JUST A SENSIBILITY IN OHIO.
>> EVEN THOUGH TRUMP WON THE STATE BY 8 POINTS IN '16.
>> BIG WIN FOR DONALD TRUMP IN THE STATE OF OHIO.
>> AND TRUMP WON THE STATE BY 8 POINTS IN 20 --
>> TRUMP IS A VERY UNIQUE CANDIDATE.
IT WAS PREJANUARY 6th. PEOPLE ARE I DON'T WANT TO KEEP
DOING THIS. I WANT OFF THE RIDE.
>> J.D. HAS A LOT OF MONEY FROM PETER THIEL AND McCONNELL.
YOU'RE LIKE NOT QUITE THAT MUCH MONEY, BUT YOU'RE DOING PRETTY
GOOD. BUT IT'S MONEY YOU'VE RAISED
YOURSELF.
>> YEP.
>> HURTING YOU, HELPING YOU?
>> I MEAN, PART OF ME, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS THE
IRISH-ITALIAN GUY THAT WANTS TO FIGHT, BUT I KIND OF LIKE THIS.
WE'RE NOT GETTING HELP FROM THE NATIONAL FOLKS.
HE IS COMPLETELY DEPENDENT. HE IS GOING TO OWE THEM DRAEK
GREAT GREATLY.
WE'RE OUT HERE ON OUR OWN.
>> DO YOU THINK IN TERMS OF MONEY FROM DSCC, THE SUPERPACs,
DO YOU THINK THAT'S BECAUSE PEOPLE LOOK AT THE NUMBERS AND
IT JUST CAN'T HAPPEN HERE, WE DON'T BELIEVE IT ANYMORE?
>> I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE NO ONE WILL SAY IT TO MY FACE.
I'VE BEEN DOING THIS LONG ENOUGH TO KNOW WE'RE NOT COMING IN.
WE'LL SEE. AT THE END.
THE END IS LIKE NEAR. IT'S LIKE 28 DAYS.
BUT I THINK IT'S PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND OHIO, BUT, YOU KNOW,
IT CAN BE DONE. AND I JUST THINK IF WE GIVE UP
ON OHIO AS DEMOCRATS, TO ME IT'S LIKE YOU'VE -- YOU'VE GIVEN UP
ON WORKING CLASS PEOPLE.
>>> HERSCHEL WALKER'S GEORGIA SENATE CAMPAIGN CONTINUES TO
PLUNGE EVER DEEPER INTO TURMOIL.
>> WALKER IS TIED TO A NUMBER OF CONTROVERSIES, OBVIOUSLY.
MOST RECENTLY REPORTS THAT HE ASKED HIS FORMER GIRLFRIEND TO
TERMINATE TWO PREGNANCIES DESPITE HAVING A FIRM
ANTI-ABORTION STANCE.
>> SENATORS RICK SCOTT AND TOM COTTON WILL CAMPAIGN WITH HIM --
>> FOR A REPUBLICAN ESTABLISHMENT GOING ALL IN FOR
HERSCHEL WALKER.
>> HERSCHEL WALKER WILL BE A CHAMPION FOR THE PEOPLE OF
GEORGIA. JUST LIKE -- JUST LIKE HE WAS A
CHAMPION FOOTBALL, HE'LL BE A CHAMPION IN THE UNITED STATES
SENATE.
>> YOU WANT TO VOTE FOR A MAN WHO BELIEVES AMERICA IS A GREAT
COUNTRY AND A MAN WHO BELIEVES OUR BEST DAYS CAN BE AHEAD OF
US, WELL, THEN YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR THE NEXT U.S. SENATOR FROM
THE GREAT STATE OF GEORGIA, HERSCHEL WALKER!
>> HERSCHEL, HERSCHEL!
>> OKAY, OKAY, THANK YOU, GUYS, THANK YOU GUYS FOR COMING OUT.
COME NOVEMBER, GUYS, WAKE UP. DON'T LET THEM BE CAMPAIGNING
FOR YOU. THEY'RE CAMPAIGNING FOR YOUR
VOTE. BECAUSE RIGHT NOW YOU CAN SEE
WHAT THEY'RE DOING. THEY'LL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES,
SAY WHATEVER THEY HAVE TO SAY BECAUSE THEY WANT THIS SEAT
RIGHT HERE. BUT I DON'T THINK THEY KNOW THAT
THEY WOKE UP A BEAR. HEY, I'M NOT JUST A DOG NOW, I'M
A BEAR. SO THEY GOT TO BRING MORE THAN
THAT. COME FRIDAY, Y'ALL BETTER WATCH
IT. THERE IS GOING TO BE A DEBATE.
AND I TOLD HIM TO QUIT RUNNING FROM ME, QUIT RUNNING, BECAUSE I
WILL CATCH YOU. SO I'VE BEEN TELLING THIS LITTLE
STORY ABOUT THIS BULL OUT IN THE FIELD WITH SIX COWS.
AND THREE OF THEM ARE PREGNANT. SO YOU KNOW HE GOT SOMETHING
GOING ON. AH BUT ALL HE CARED ABOUT IS
KEPT HIS NOSE AGAINST THE FENCE LOOKING AT THREE OTHER COWS THAT
DIDN'T BELONG TO HIM. NOW ALL HE HAD TO DO WAS EAT
GRASS, BUT NO, NO, NO, HE THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS BETTER
SOMEWHERE ELSE. SO THAT DAY CAME WHERE HE GOT
BACK, AND HE GOT BACK. AND AS HE TOOK OFF RUNNING, HE
DOVE OVER THAT FENCE AND HIS BELLY GOT CUT UP ON THE BOTTOM.
AND HE RAN TO THE TOP OF THE HILL.
BUT WHEN HE GOT UP THERE, HE REALIZED THERE WERE BULLS TOO.
SO WHAT I'M TELLING YOU, DON'T THINK SOMETHING IS BETTER
SOMEWHERE ELSE. THIS IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN
THE WORLD TODAY. GOD BLESS YOU GUYS.
THANK YOU GUYS NOW.
>> HAVE YOU PAUSED THAT -- YOU BOTH TAKE FIRM ANTI-ABORTION
POSITIONS, THAT YOU HAVE A WOMAN COMING FORWARD THAT HE PAID FOR
MY ABORTION?
>> YOU KNOW WHAT PEOPLE ARE TAKING PAUSE ABOUT, THEY'RE
WORRIED ABOUT, THEY'RE WORRYING ABOUT PAYING FOR GAS.
THEY'RE WORRYING ABOUT WHO RAPHAEL WARNOCK IS.
>> HAVE EITHER OF YOU HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH HIM ABOUT
THESE LATEST ALLEGATIONS?
>> RAPHAEL WARNOCK AND THE DEMOCRATS WANT TO MAKE THIS
ABOUT HERSCHEL WALKER'S YESTERDAYS.
HERSCHEL WALKER WANTS TO THIS MAKE THIS ABOUT GEORGIA'S
TOMORROW.
>> THERE IS AN AMAZING ACT OF DISCIPLINE ON THEIR PART WE'RE
HERE TO CAMPAIGN FOR HERSCHEL WALKER.
THERE IS ONE ISSUE. THE ONLY REASON WE'RE HERE IS
THIS ONE ISSUE. WE'RE GOING TO IGNORE IT AND SAY
RAPHAEL WARNOCK IS BAD.
>> IS THIS SCANDAL REALLY SOMETHING THAT IS PENETRATING IN
THIS STATE WITH VOTERS? THEY DON'T NECESSARILY OBVIOUSLY
VOTE FOR WARNOCK, BUT MAYBE THEY STAY HOME.
>> AS A NATIVE GEORGIAN, KNOWS THIS PLACE, THE INS AND OUTS,
WHAT DO WHITE GEORGIANS AND WHAT DO BLACK GEORGIANS THINK OF
HERSCHEL WALKER BEFORE THE SENATE RACE?
>> HIS STATUS AS A GOD OF THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA, IT LOOMS
SO LARGE. YOU EVEN SAW SOME OF THAT HERE.
PEOPLE HERE WITH FOOTBALLS THEY WERE HOPING TO GET AUTOGRAPHED,
HELMETS THEY WERE HOPING TO GET AUTOGRAPHED, PEOPLE WHO HAD ON
HIS 34 JERSEY. THEY'RE TRYING TO TIE THAT VERY
POWERFULLY TO HIM BEING A CHAMPION FOR THEM.
>> RIGHT.
>> IS IT BIRACIAL? IS IT BASIC HERO OF THE BLACK
COMMUNITY, HERO OF THE WHITE COMMUNITY BECAUSE OF HIS
FOOTBALL EXPLOITS?
>> FOR WHITE GEORGIANS, THEY ARE MUCH MORE WILLING TO TRANSLATE
THAT LOVE FOR HIM AS A FOOTBALL HERO INTO THE SENATE SEAT.
>> RIGHT.
>> BLACK GEORGIANS, THEY DEFINITELY SEPARATE HIS FOOTBALL
ACCOMPLISHMENTS FROM THEIR FEELING THAT HE IS WHOLLY
UNQUALIFIED.
>> MAJOR SENATE REPUBLICAN GROUPS ARE RUSHING TO WALKER'S
DEFENSE.
>> PUTTING A SPOTLIGHT ON RAPHAEL WARNOCK'S PAST.
>> HIGHLIGHTING AN INCIDENT IN WHICH HIS EX-WIFE TOLD POLICE HE
RAN OVER HER FOOT WITH HER CAR.
>> AND HE JUST STARTS BACKING THE CAR UP.
I CAN'T BELIEVE HE WOULD RUN ME OVER.
HE IS A GREAT ACTOR. HE IS PHENOMENAL AT PUTTING ON A
REALLY GOOD SHOW.
>> THESE ARE SOME THINGS THAT SURFACED BACK IN 2020 AS WELL,
WHICH GOES TO SHOW HOW NASTY AND UGLY THIS CAMPAIGN HAS GOTTEN.
>> THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME HERE TONIGHT.
I AM A SENATOR FOR ALL OF GEORGIA, NO MATTER WHAT LANGUAGE
YOU SPEAK. TONIGHT WE ALL SPEAK THE SAME
LANGUAGE. WE ARE TEAM GEORGIA.
[ CHEERING ]
>> YOU KNOW, YOU CAN BE A POWERFUL MAN AT THE INTERSECTION
OF SOCIAL ACTION, SOCIAL JUSTICE, PROGRESSIVE CAUSES, BUT
YOU'VE NEVER HAD NEGATIVE ATTACK ADS RUN AGAINST YOU, AND ALL OF
THE SUDDEN OH, THIS IS WHAT IT'S REALLY LIKE.
AND NOW, THOUGH, THE AIRWAVES ARE JUST FLOODED?
>> THAT'S ALL WE'RE SEEING.
>> AND HERSCHEL WALKER IS GOING AFTER HIM.
>> YEAH. THAT BODY CAM FOOTAGE HAS
RESURFACED. THAT WAS AN AD THAT RAN IN 2020.
WE'RE SEEING IT AGAIN. HE IS HAVING TO ADDRESS THIS
AGAIN. IN 2020 WHEN THAT HAPPENED, WE
HAD THE WNBA TELLING PEOPLE TO THROW THEIR VOTE AGAINST WARNOCK
ON T-SHIRTS AT THE GAMES, REALLY RALLYING AROUND THAT MOMENT.
YOU ALSO HAD THE EX-WIFE SAYING YEAH, WE HAD A NASTY DIVORCE,
BUT WE WORKED OUT OUR DIFFERENCES.
WEE COPARENTING NOW. IT'S COOL.
SO I THINK THAT DID A LOT TO ASSUAGE VOTERS' CONCERNS ABOUT
THAT FOOTAGE.
>> REPUBLICANS NOW USING YOUR PERSONAL HISTORY IN ATTACK ADS.
ARE ALLEGATIONS FROM YOUR EX-WIFE FAIR GAME?
>> LISTEN, WE SAW THESE KINDS OF ATTACKS BEFORE, AND THERE IS
REASON WHY THEY DIDN'T WORK. AND I THINK AT THE END OF THE
DAY, THIS RACE IS ABOUT WHO IS READY FOR GEORGIA.
>> SENATOR -- IN HER SPEECH YOU DIDN'T MENTION OR REFERENCE YOUR
OPPONENT, HERSCHEL WALKER AND THE MANY ALLEGATIONS AGAINST HIM
AND HIS ABORTIONS. WHY NOT?
>> FIRST OF ALL, THERE ARE A LOT OF THEM.
I'M NOT SURE WHICH ONES YOU'RE REFERRING TO.
>> SENATOR, ON THE ALLEGATIONS SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE
ABORTIONS, ON THOSE ALLEGATIONS, YOU BEEN PRETTY RESTRAINED IN
YOUR REMARKS SO FAR. YOU'VE AULZ CALLED THOSE
ALLEGATIONS DISTURBING, BUT YOU HAVEN'T SAID THEY ARE
DISQUALIFYING. ARE THEY DISQUALIFYING?
>> I THINK THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA WILL DECIDE.
MY OPPONENT THINKS THEY DIDN'T GO FAR ENOUGH.
HE WANTS A NATIONWIDE BAN. HE SAYS NO EXCEPTIONS.
AND I THINK HE IS CLEARLY OUT OF STEP WITH THE WOMEN OF GEORGIA.
>> YESTERDAY YOUR OPPONENT HERSCHEL WALKER SAID THAT HE IS
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE DEBATE. HOW YOU FEELING ABOUT FRIDAY?
>> I'M FEELING GREAT.
>> THERE IS GOING TO BE A CONTRAST ON THAT DEBATE STAGE ON
FRIDAY NIGHT. MOST PEOPLE WOULD SAY MAYBE YOUR
OPPONENT NOT THE MOST ARTICULATE, NOT NECESSARILY
FOCUSED ON POLICY, WHERE PEOPLE SEE AS THIS GIFTED SPEAKER WHO
HAS BEEN TALKING A LOT ABOUT POLICY ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL.
IT NOT KIND OF ASSUMED THAT YOU MAYBE ARE GOING TO WIN AT THIS?
AND IF YOU DON'T WIN AT THIS DEBATE, IS THAT A WIN FOR
HERSCHEL WALKER?
>> LISTEN, THE PUNDITS WILL DO WHAT THEY DO.
IT'S OBVIOUS THAT MY OPPONENT WOULD RATHER BE RUNNING AGAINST
ANYBODY EXCEPT ME, AND FOR GOOD REASON.
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, THERE ARE TWO CHOICES IN THIS RACE,
RAPHAEL WARNOCK OR HERSCHEL WALKER.
AND I THINK THE CHOICE IS MORE THAN OBVIOUS.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, EVERYONE. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.
>> THANK YOU.
>>> THE GOVERNMENT JUST RELEASED THE LATEST REPORT ON INFLATION.
>> PROVING WHAT AMERICANS ALREADY KNOW, PRICES KEEP GOING
UP.
>> WITH LESS THAN FOUR WEEKS UNTIL ELECTION DAY, THIS IS
GOING TO BE TOP OF MIND FOR VOTERS.
>> J.D. VANCE HAS BEEN CRITICIZED EVEN BY FELLOW
REPUBLICANS FOR NOT DOING A LOT OF RETAIL CAMPAIGNING.
BUT HE IS HERE TODAY AT A MEET AND GREET WITH VOTERS.
THE BIG BREAKING NEWS TONIGHT, INFLATION REALLY BAD, AND BAD
ECONOMIC NEWS IS REALLY GOOD NEWS FOR J.D. VANCE IN A RACE
THAT IS MUCH CLOSER THAN IT SHOULD BE IN A RED STATE LIKE
OHIO.
>> WE WENT TO MAD JACK'S BEFORE LUNCH FOR THIS.
SO I HAD A GIANT BURGER. SO I HAVE TO KEEP MY ENERGY
HYPER. YOU HAVE A BURGER LIKE THAT, AND
YOU HAVE LIKE THIS CRASH PERIOD. THAT'S -- SO WE'RE GOING TO KEEP
THINGS FIRED UP HERE. WE HAD TERRIBLE INFLATION
NUMBERS COME OUT TODAY. REALLY
REALLY ABYSMAL INFLATION NUMBERS.
PEOPLE ARE LESS ABLE TO AFFORD FOOD, GAS, PEOPLE KNOW WHO I AM,
KNOW WHAT MY VALUES ARE, AND IF THEY KNOW WHAT A FRAUD TIM RYAN,
WE'RE GOING WIN, AND WE'RE GOING WIN BY A VERY, VERY BIG MARGIN.
[ APPLAUSE ]
>> HOW YOU?
>> GOOD. HOW YOU DOING?
>> GOOD.
>> OH, YEAH, OKAY.
>> MEET YOU GUYS.
>> J.D., THIS IS MY MOM.
>> OH REALLY?
>> KNOCK THE CAMERA PEOPLE DOWN TO GET TO YOU.
>> SHE SHOULD KNOCK THEM DOWN. I WANT TO MEET YOU GUYS, NOT
THEM.
>> NO QUESTIONS?
>> NOPE, SORRY. GOT TO RUN.
>> THIS IS J.D. VANCE RUNNING AWAY FROM US, UNWILLING OR
UNABLE TO ANSWER ANY OF OUR QUESTIONS.
>> SO YOU'RE SITTING THERE, AND HERSCHEL WALKER HAS THAT HE IS
RUNNING FOR SENATE. AND YOUR THOUGHT IS WHAT?
>> A LOT OF PEOPLE CAME TO ME AND SAID SO YOU'RE ON THE
HERSCHEL TRAIN. AND I WAS LIKE WHY?
BECAUSE HE IS HERSCHEL WALKER, MAN.
HEISMAN TROPHY. AND I'M LIKE OH, I THOUGHT WE
WERE TALKING ABOUT THE U.S. SENATE.
>> AS SOON AS HE ANNOUNCED HE WAS RUNNING, FOR MOST
REPUBLICANS, THEY SEE IT OPEN AND SHUT.
HERSCHEL IS GOING TO BE THE NOMINEE.
>> YES. WITHOUT ANYONE KNOWING WHAT
HERSCHEL STOOD FOR. HIS CAMPAIGN WEBSITE AT THAT
POINT DID NOT EVEN LIST ISSUES.
>> YES. IT MAY LIST THEM NOW, BUT IT'S
ALMOST CERTAIN HE COULDN'T TELL YOU WHAT WAS ON THERE.
>> PROBABLY NOT. WHEN DID YOU FIRST START TO SAY
THIS COULD BE A PROBLEM?
>> THE MINUTE I HEARD HIM FUCKING SPEAK.
LOOK, I'M SURE HERSCHEL IS A NICE GUY.
I'VE HAD ALL OF ONE PHONE CONVERSATION WITH HIM.
WE DON'T ALWAYS DO OUR BEST EVERY CONVERSATION WE HAVE.
BUT MY FIRST THOUGHTS ARE NOT I WANT TO MAKE HIM A U.S. SENATOR.
>> YOU ARE NOT ALONE HERE THERE HAVE BEEN STORY AFTER STORY WITH
ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS SAYING I WILL VOTE FOR HERSCHEL WALKER
BECAUSE WARNOCK IS A RADICAL LEFTIST.
WE NEED TO HAVE CONTROL OF THE U.S. SENATE.
I'M VOTING REPUBLICAN. BUT IT DIDN'T HAVE TO BE THIS
HARD.
>> YEAH. LOOK AT BRIAN KEMP'S NUMBERS
AGAINST STACEY ABRAMS RIGHT NOW. I DON'T THINK GEORGIA IS A BLUE
STATE YET.
>> MULTIPLE SHOWS SHOW KEMP LEADING STACEY ABRAMS.
>> KEMP'S GOT A 7 TO 10-POINT LEAD.
>> IT'S TOTALLY OUR RACE TO LOSE.
SO IF WE LOSE IT'S, IT'S ALL BECAUSE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY
VOTERS COULD NOT GET OVER THE FACT THAT SOMEONE WORE A FUCKING
RED UNIFORM WITH A BUG DOG ON IT.
THAT'S LITERALLY HOW WE GOT HERE.
>> AMONG PEOPLE IN THE POLITICAL CLASS ARE, THEY GETTING WORRIED?
>> THEY'RE CERTAINLY WORRIED, CONCERNED.
BUT AS TO THE BASE THAT I SPEAK TO.
>> RIGHT.
>> I DON'T KNOW THERE IS ANYTHING YOU COULD PUT OUT RIGHT
NOW. HERSCHEL WALKER IS THE MAN ON
ATLANTA AVENUE AND STILL GET ELECTED POTENTIALLY TO THE U.S.
SENATE. AND HEY, I'M STILL VOTING FOR
HERSCHEL WALKER. DO I THINK HE'LL PROBABLY VOTE
RIGHT FROM MY PERSPECTIVE? YEAH, I BET HE WILL.
HE'LL GO WITH THE CONSERVATIVE CONSENSUS
CONSEN CONSENSUS.
>> THE DEBATE IS AT HAND. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT TO SEE ON
THAT DEBATE STAGE?
>> I'M EXPECTING TO SEE A ROUGH NIGHT FOR HERSCHEL.
>> YEAH. WHAT'S THE NIGHTMARE SCENARIO IF
YOU'RE A REPUBLICAN? WHAT'S THE WORST THING THAT
COULD HAPPEN?
>> WORST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN IS THAT HERSCHEL GETS OFF
MESSAGE.
>> WHAT WOULD THAT LOOK LIKE?
>> WHO KNOWS. I MEAN, IT COULD BE COWS INTIM
NATING OTHER BULLS INSEMINATE NATING OTHER BULLS INSEMINATING
OTHER COWS. WHO THE FUCK KNOWS?
>> WELCOME TO DEBATE NIGHT IN AMERICA.
IN 2020, GEORGIA DECIDED THE BALANCE OF POWER IN THE UNITED
STATES SENATE, AND IT MIGHT WELL AGAIN.
THE STAKES COULD NOT BE HIGHER.
>> ALL RIGHT. IT'S FIGHT NIGHT.
DEBATES ARE ABSOLUTELY 100% EXPECTATIONS GAME.
AND THEY COULDN'T BE LOWER FOR WALKER.
>> EVEN THE PEOPLE WHO REALLY THINK THAT RAPHAEL WARNOCK IS
THE DEVIL THINK HE IS GOOD. ON HERSCHEL WALKER SIDE, EVEN
THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE HIM THINK HE IS A MORON.
>> THIS IS A CHANCE FOR THE WHOLE STATE TO SEE THIS PERSON
THAT MAYBE THEY'VE ONLY SEEN IN CLIPS ON SOCIAL MEDIA DIRECTLY
NEXT TO THIS VERY ARTICULATE, VERY GIFTED ORATOR WHO IS GOING
TO BE TALKING A LOT ABOUT POLICY, OR AT LEAST HE IS GOING
TO TRY TO.
>> I FEEL LIKE IF WALKER MANAGES TO SPEAK COGENTLY, THAT'S GOING
TO BE A VICTORY. AND IF WARNOCK MIDWESSES UP A T
BIT, THAT'S GOING TO BE A BIG DEAL.
>> IT IS TIME TO GET UNDER WAY. GOOD TO SEE YOU, GENTLEMEN.
WE BEGIN TONIGHT WITH OPENING STATEMENTS.
>> I'M ONE OF SEVEN KIDS BORN AND RAISED IN WRIGHTSVILLE,
GEORGIA. BUT THIS RACE AIN'T ABOUT ME.
IT'S ABOUT WHAT RAPHAEL WARNOCK AND JOE BIDEN HAVE DONE TO YOU
AND YOUR FAMILY. AT THE END OF THIS DAY, THIS
RACE IS ABOUT WHO IS READY TO REPRESENT GEORGIA IN THE U.S.
SENATE. I THINK THAT CHOICE IS CLEAR.
>> WE WILL SEE TIME AND TIME AGAIN TONIGHT -- THEY MY
OPPONENT HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRUTH.
>> ONE THING I HAVE NOT DONE, I'VE NEVER PRETENDED TO BE A
POLICE OFFICER. AND -- AND I'VE NEVER -- I'VE
NEVER THREATENED A SHOOTOUT WITH THE POLICE.
>> AND NOW I HAVE TO RESPOND TO THAT.
>> I AM -- POLICE OFFICERS AND AT THE SAME TIME --
>> MR. WALKER, MR. WALKER.
>> NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
>> MR. WALKER, EXCUSE ME, MR. WALKER.
OUT OF RESPECT, I NEED TO LET YOU KNOW, MR. WALKER, YOU ARE
VERY WELL AWARE OF THE RULES TONIGHT.
>> YES.
>> AND YOU HAVE A PROP. THAT IS NOT ALLOWED, SIR.
I ASK YOU TO PUT THAT PROP AWAY.
>> IT'S NOT A PROP. THIS IS REAL.
>> EXCUSE ME, SIR. YES NOT GOING TO CONTINUE THIS.
>> SENATOR WARNOCK, A SIMPLE YES OR NO.
WOULD YOU SUPPORT PRESIDENT BIDEN RUNNING FOR A SECOND TERM
IN 2024?
>> I'VE NOT SPENT A MINUTE THINKING ABOUT WHAT POLITICIANS
SHOULD RUN FOR WHAT IN 2024.
>> IS THAT A YES OR A NO?
>> THE ANSWER IS I HAVE NOT -- YOU'RE ASKING ME WHO IS GOING TO
RUN IN 2024? THE PEOPLE IN GEORGIA GET TO
DECIDE WHO IS GOING TO BE THEIR SENATOR IN THREE DAYS, MONDAY.
AND I HOPE THEY'LL SHOW UP AND VOTE.
>> MR. WALKER, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS ALSO CONSIDERING A RUN
FOR THE WHITE HOUSE. WOULD YOU SUPPORT A TRUMP 2024
RUN?
>> YES, I WOULD. PRESIDENT TRUMP IS MY FRIEND.
AND HE WON'T STAND UP FOR BIDEN, YET HE HAS VOTED WITH HIM 96% OF
THE TIME? LET'S BE REAL.
>> THANK YOU BOTH, GENTLEMEN. THAT'S GOING TO CONCLUDE OUR
DEBATE FOR THIS EVENING.
>> A FIERY NIGHT ON THE DEBATE STAGE IN SAVANNAH, GEORGIA.
>> HERSCHEL WALKER WAS BETTER DEBATER THAN PEOPLE EXPECTED.
THE PEOPLE WHO WERE LOOKING FOR A REASON TO STICK WITH HERSCHEL
WALKER, HE GAVE IT TO THEM.
>> HERSCHEL, IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS PRETTY GOOD NIGHT FOR YOU
THERE. HOW DO YOU THINK YOU DID
TONIGHT? WHAT CASE DID YOU WANT TO MAKE
TO GEORGIA VOTERS?
>> JUST THAT I ALWAYS STAND FOR THEM AND FIGHT FOR GEORGIA.
>> WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY LEARNED ABOUT YOU TONIGHT AND
WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY LEARNED ABOUT SENATOR WARNOCK?
>> I THINK THEY LEARNED FROM SENATOR WARNOCK THEY WILL TRY TO
DO ANYTHING TO TRY TO WIN THE SEAT.
AND THEY LEARNED FROM ME THAT THEY THEY'RE IN FOR A FIGHT.
>> HERSCHEL, YOU IN? HERSCHEL, DID YOU WIN?
>> I ALWAYS WIN.
>> I FEEL LIKE I CAN NOT LOSE! YEAH.
I GOT A WHOLE LOT TO PROVE, YEAH, THEY'RE TALKING IF YOU
DON'T MAKE NO MOVES, YEAH MY DATE WITH MY DESTINY IS
LONG OVERDUE, IT'S LONG OVERDUE
I
I FEEL
I FEEL LIKE
I FEEL LIKE I
I FEEL LIKE I CAN
I FEEL LIKE I CAN NOT
I FEEL LIKE I CAN NOT LOSE
