NEWT:
That is a new one. Probably accurate. Normally I would factor in about one point, but in Georgia right now, given the effort, the intelligence, the drive that Stacey Abrams brought to try to steal the state. 3.7 may be about right. I’m with you. I feel every conservative in Georgia to go vote as early as possible. To make sure that Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue win. I thought by the way that Kelly did a remarkably good job of taking on Warnock. After all a Baptist preacher, given speeches for a living his entire life, but he sort of passive and I think he was sort of trapped because as you pointed out, he’s really is radical. And it’s pretty hard to disown 20 or 25 years of radicalism in a debate. He did on very nice job of sticking to it and pointing out again and again this is the most radical candidate ever nominated by a major party. I think that this is going to be an extraordinarily important election and I think the odds are very high that if every Republican vote. My model is simple. We have to win by a bigger margin than Stacey Abrams can steal. That’s flat out the reality we are dealing with.
NEWT:
I think everybody understand that governor — I urge every Georgian to call your state legislature and demand that they go back into session. I think Governor Kemp would be very well served to both call a special session to deal with some of the more outrageous things going on and those who insist that they have a genuine, honest recount looking carefully at the signatures. The real problem is auditing the signatures. The agreement that Secretary of State Raffensperger agree to, Stacey Abrams, is a disaster of what you want an accurate count. As you know, from the recent video where they’re trying to explain away, they have a security camera watching for Democrats after they sent all of the Republican observers home. They open up the suitcases, pulled them out and open up these suitcases. We have no idea to what degree they were stealing votes. But it’s very strange how big the margin was for Joe Biden out of these suitcases. When you look at that particular video, you’ve got to say to yourself, there is something really wrong with what happened in Georgia. I think the Georgia legislature should step in. And insist both on a recount but also change the rules before we get to the vote on January 5th. To go back in, knowing how sick the current system is and then use the same sick system is something profoundly wrong and a huge lack of leadership and I think that happened.
