- 1:38SPEAKER_05: You know, I got this big old machine to help me do podcasts and has sound effects on there.
- 1:42SPEAKER_05: I never get to use it, I don't really get to use them, you know, play with them every once in a while.
- 1:45SPEAKER_05: So that's what that was for.
- 1:46SPEAKER_05: Hope everybody's doing good.
- 1:47SPEAKER_05: Hope everybody's doing well.
- 1:49SPEAKER_05: It is, as usual, cold in Ohio.
- 1:51SPEAKER_05: But this episode is not about Ohio.
- 1:54SPEAKER_05: It's not about Ohio at all.
- 1:55SPEAKER_05: We are all talking about this great southern state of Georgia.
- 2:16SPEAKER_07: Georgia.
- 2:20unknown: Georgia.
- 2:22SPEAKER_05: The great Ray Charles.
- 2:24unknown: The whole day through.
- 2:26SPEAKER_05: The whole day too.
- 2:27SPEAKER_05: The whole day through.
- 2:29SPEAKER_05: We are talking about Georgia and the freaking Senate runoff they're having December 6th.
- 2:37SPEAKER_05: Now, again, I'm in Ohio, so I have no no horse in this race, but uh it's very interesting how these people are voting.
- 2:45SPEAKER_05: Now, they had the first run or the first part of the Senate race back in uh November 8th.
- 2:51SPEAKER_05: And uh Georgia came out and represented.
- 2:54SPEAKER_05: Um we have three candidates.
- 2:56SPEAKER_05: Uh Chase Oliver, who's a libertarian, got 81,000, which was 2.1%.
- 3:01SPEAKER_05: Uh Raphael Warnock got 49.4% with 1.943 million.
- 3:09SPEAKER_05: And then you have Herschel Walker, who also got 48.5%, which is 1.907 million voters.
- 3:20SPEAKER_05: And I always, when I see these elections and I see who who's running, it's funny.
- 3:27SPEAKER_05: It's funny because now it's not about the person, it's about what color you represent.
- 3:33SPEAKER_05: Now the first thing that I gotta ask is like, who is this Chase Oliver?
- 3:36SPEAKER_05: And it claims to be a libertarian.
- 3:38SPEAKER_05: Did he really think he had a shot?
- 3:40SPEAKER_05: Did he really think he had a shot?
- 3:43SPEAKER_05: No, is is it's it's red or blue, it's always gonna be red or blue.
- 3:46SPEAKER_05: And besides, what color would a libertarian be?
- 3:48SPEAKER_05: Green?
- 3:50SPEAKER_05: I always wonder that.
- 3:51SPEAKER_05: If you're the third party, what color you what color is your party?
- 3:54SPEAKER_05: Green, orange, purple.
- 3:57SPEAKER_05: That's a tough one.
- 3:58SPEAKER_05: But since nobody got over the 50%, they're having another runoff on December 6th, and therefore it's only between two people, because again, Chase only got 2.1%, so he's pretty much eliminated, and they have to get over 50%.
- 4:12SPEAKER_05: Right?
- 4:14SPEAKER_05: So with that being said, the resumes, the resumes count for something, right?
- 4:20SPEAKER_05: It shouldn't be politics today.
- 4:22SPEAKER_05: Is if it's red, I represent red.
- 4:24SPEAKER_05: If it's blue, I represent blue.
- 4:27SPEAKER_05: Like I vote nothing but blue if I'm blue because of being being blue.
- 4:32SPEAKER_05: And the same thing goes for the red side.
- 4:35SPEAKER_05: So when did when did people's personal feelings or personal their persona represent represents them, right?
- 4:47SPEAKER_05: If you took a blind, like if you covered your eyes, it didn't look who was who was running.
- 4:54SPEAKER_05: Let's look at the resume.
- 4:55SPEAKER_05: Let's look at let's just look at person A's resume.
- 4:59SPEAKER_05: He was in the NFL for 12 seasons, went to college for Georgia from 1980 to 1982, won the Heisman Trophy in 1982, and had his jersey retired at the University of Georgia.
- 5:12SPEAKER_05: I mean, initially I would vote for him to play football, right?
- 5:17SPEAKER_05: To own a football team or something related to what he has been doing.
- 5:22SPEAKER_05: Football.
- 5:24SPEAKER_05: Person B.
- 5:26SPEAKER_05: Pastor graduated Moore's College cum laden, which means that they were in the top 20, 25, 30 percent, bachelor's in psychology, earned masters of divinity, masters of uh physiology, doctor, you know, all these good things.
- 5:46SPEAKER_05: That's person B.
- 5:47SPEAKER_05: Now off off the cup, off that idea, who are you voting for to run the people, to take the voice of the people?
- 5:59SPEAKER_05: I'm just asking.
- 6:00SPEAKER_05: Not red or blue, what resume sounds better, right?
- 6:05SPEAKER_05: And like the things that certain people do should count, right?
- 6:12SPEAKER_05: We know we don't know much about uh Raphael Warnock because he hasn't put himself out there like that.
- 6:19SPEAKER_05: But Herschel Walker, this bumbling guy, I'm gonna be nice, and you know, not discredit him because ever he's discredited himself with some of the things he's saying.
- 6:34SPEAKER_05: First off, his own son, his own sons came out and said things about him.
- 6:38SPEAKER_05: Take a listen.
- 6:40SPEAKER_01: He has four kids, four different women, wasn't in the house raising one of them.
- 6:45SPEAKER_01: He was out having sex with other women.
- 6:48SPEAKER_01: Do you care about family values?
- 6:50SPEAKER_01: I'm just saying, don't lie.
- 6:51SPEAKER_01: Don't lie on my mom, don't lie on me, don't lie on the lives you've destroyed and act like you're some moral family man.
- 6:57SPEAKER_01: Y'all should care about that, conservatives.
- 7:01SPEAKER_05: That was his son.
- 7:03SPEAKER_05: That was his son, Christian Walker, who is a definitely he's a conservative, and he's very red, so to speak.
- 7:12SPEAKER_05: But, you know, that's his son.
- 7:15SPEAKER_05: So let's take other examples of this guy's stupidity.
- 7:20SPEAKER_05: Here's another example.
- 7:23SPEAKER_07: I'm telling you right now, I'm like Ricky Bobby.
- 7:28SPEAKER_07: I don't come to lose.
- 7:30SPEAKER_07: And uh and I told you he's gonna be tough to beat.
- 7:34SPEAKER_07: He's gonna be tough to beat, but let me tell you what, he got the wrong Georgia head on.
- 7:39SPEAKER_07: So I want to tell y'all, if you can hang in, hanging in a little bit longer, just hanging in a little bit longer, because something good, it takes a while for it to get better.
- 7:51SPEAKER_07: And it's gonna get better.
- 7:53SPEAKER_07: So I want to just thank you guys for hanging in.
- 7:55SPEAKER_07: And if you some of you have to go home, you can wake up tomorrow morning and see the new senator for the great state of Georgia.
- 8:05SPEAKER_07: So I'm gonna just tell you guys, and I want to thank you guys for coming out.
- 8:14SPEAKER_05: Okay, I mean, that's cool.
- 8:17SPEAKER_05: Like he says he's from the great state of Georgia, right?
- 8:20SPEAKER_07: Right?
- 8:21SPEAKER_07: The other night I was watching this movie.
- 8:23SPEAKER_07: I was watching this movie called Fright Night, Sweet Night, or some type of night.
- 8:26SPEAKER_07: But it's about vampires.
- 8:28SPEAKER_07: I don't know if you know vampires are cool people, or they're not.
- 8:30SPEAKER_07: But I'm gonna tell you something that I found out.
- 8:32SPEAKER_07: A werewolf can kill a vampire, but you know that I never knew that, so I didn't want to be a vampire anymore.
- 8:37SPEAKER_07: I want to be a werewolf.
- 8:38SPEAKER_07: You gotta have faith in this country, gotta have faith in this in the elected officials.
- 8:42SPEAKER_07: And right now, that's the reason I'm here.
- 8:44SPEAKER_07: Because God had brought his warrior, and I'm that warrior that y'all have been looking for for a long time.
- 8:49SPEAKER_07: I can promise you, as my offensive lineman told me, Horseshoe, follow me, I'll take you to the promised land.
- 8:55SPEAKER_07: And I'm gonna tell y'all right now, you vote for me, I'm gonna help us all get to the promised land.
- 8:59SPEAKER_07: God bless you, God.
- 9:00SPEAKER_07: Thank you, God.
- 9:02SPEAKER_05: And and and and the funny thing about that, you hear some lady saying, Amen.
- 9:08SPEAKER_05: Amen.
- 9:08SPEAKER_05: We talking about werewolves.
- 9:10SPEAKER_05: This is again, this guy is running to represent people, and he's just finding out that werewolves and vampires can fight, and werewolves can kill vampires.
- 9:20SPEAKER_05: Let me remind this dude that this is fictional and they're not real.
- 9:25SPEAKER_05: But the list, the, the, the, the, the sound bites keep going.
- 9:30SPEAKER_03: Herschel Walker, which is that every time he speaks, things go wrong.
- 9:34SPEAKER_03: For instance, Walker was recently at a campaign start giving his views on the border.
- 9:40SPEAKER_03: And in his speech, he's trying to explain why he will build Donald Trump's border wall.
- 9:46SPEAKER_03: But in a way that only Herschel Walker can.
- 9:49SPEAKER_03: He goes on to debunk his own argument about a wall, and then takes us on a wild ride that somehow involves his dog.
- 9:57SPEAKER_03: Secure this border.
- 9:58SPEAKER_07: They said, How are you gonna do that?
- 9:59SPEAKER_07: I said, Well, I can do it then.
- 10:01SPEAKER_07: You need to put up a wall, a wall new work, wall working around your house, when you got a wall around your house, people don't.
- 10:06SPEAKER_07: They can get in, but you know what?
- 10:08SPEAKER_07: They get in, it'll be hard to get out.
- 10:10SPEAKER_07: Because I got a dog that my dog really won't bite when he put it bad anyway.
- 10:14SPEAKER_07: Anyway.
- 10:20SPEAKER_05: What the hell was that?
- 10:24SPEAKER_05: What the hell was that?
- 10:26SPEAKER_05: I'm not done yet.
- 10:27SPEAKER_00: U.S.
- 10:28SPEAKER_00: Senate candidate Herschel Walker raising eyebrows over the weekend when he talked about climate change in front of a private meeting with Republicans in Hall County.
- 10:36SPEAKER_00: The party's Facebook account showed the husband trophy winner discussing air pollution.
- 10:41SPEAKER_07: But since we don't control the air, our good air decided to float over to China bad air.
- 10:48SPEAKER_07: So when China gets out of good air, their bad air gotta move.
- 10:53SPEAKER_07: So it moves over to our Good Air space.
- 10:57SPEAKER_07: And now we gotta clean that back up.
- 11:00SPEAKER_00: All right, so on social media from Twitter, critics certainly having a bit of a field day, but his backers say he was talking about real complications when countries don't cooperate on climate change treaties.
- 11:11SPEAKER_00: Walker faces Democratic U.S.
- 11:13SPEAKER_00: Senator, the Reverend Raphael Warnock, in November.
- 11:18SPEAKER_05: Not done.
- 11:19SPEAKER_05: I'm not done.
- 11:20SPEAKER_04: Tonight, exactly one week before the Georgia Senate runoff election, Republican candidate Herschel Walker is on defense again, this time about whether he legally resides in the state of Georgia.
- 11:30SPEAKER_04: CNN's K file reporting tonight that Walker himself earlier this year said, quote, I live in Texas.
- 11:36SPEAKER_04: And he also said this.
- 11:39SPEAKER_07: I was sitting in my own Texas.
- 11:42SPEAKER_07: And I was seeing what was going on in this country.
- 11:46SPEAKER_04: But during a campaign rally just hours ago, Walker claimed that he's always been a Georgia resident.
- 11:52SPEAKER_07: I represent the great people of Georgia.
- 11:55SPEAKER_07: I've lived here my whole life.
- 11:58SPEAKER_04: Walker has been under fire over this already.
- 12:01SPEAKER_04: So which one is it?
- 12:04SPEAKER_05: Do you live in Texas?
- 12:05SPEAKER_05: You've been in Georgia all your whole life.
- 12:08SPEAKER_05: Which one is it?
- 12:09SPEAKER_05: Which one is it?
- 12:11SPEAKER_05: This is ridiculous.
- 12:13SPEAKER_05: Oh, not done yet.
- 12:15SPEAKER_05: Last one.
- 12:16SPEAKER_06: One thing I have not done, I've never pretended to be a police officer.
- 12:23SPEAKER_06: And and and I've never I've never threatened a shootout with the police.
- 12:28SPEAKER_05: That's Senator Warren.
- 12:30SPEAKER_06: And now I have to respond to that.
- 12:31SPEAKER_02: This is her shooting.
- 12:34SPEAKER_07: And you know what's so funny?
- 12:36SPEAKER_07: I am with many police officers.
- 12:39SPEAKER_02: I ask you to put that prop away.
- 12:41SPEAKER_07: Well, it's not a prop.
- 12:42SPEAKER_07: This is real.
- 12:43SPEAKER_07: And he said I have a problem.
- 12:45SPEAKER_07: I never work with the police.
- 12:47SPEAKER_02: Mr.
- 12:47SPEAKER_02: Walker, excuse me, sir.
- 12:49SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 12:49SPEAKER_02: You're very well aware of the rules.
- 12:52SPEAKER_05: Just in case you didn't see this already, he pulls out an honorary badge given to him, and he thinks it's real.
- 13:01SPEAKER_05: Ladies and gentlemen, again, I don't do political things.
- 13:04SPEAKER_05: We all have our own views and opinions, and that is that is great.
- 13:08SPEAKER_05: We should always have our different views and opinions on things.
- 13:11SPEAKER_05: But when we select people to represent us, people, this needs to be this needs to be accounted for.
- 13:19SPEAKER_05: This dude's an idiot.
- 13:20SPEAKER_05: I'm sorry.
- 13:21SPEAKER_05: I don't mean to call him idiot.
- 13:22SPEAKER_05: I liked him.
- 13:23SPEAKER_05: I like him as a football player.
- 13:25SPEAKER_05: He's great as a football player, but this is not right.
- 13:28SPEAKER_05: And this is something that, you know, definitely should be looked at.
- 13:32SPEAKER_05: And I hope, I hope Georgia gets it right and selects the right candidate, whoever that may be.
- 13:40SPEAKER_05: But you heard the examples of Herschel Walker and his idiocy.
- 13:45SPEAKER_05: And why is that a thing?
- 13:48SPEAKER_05: Why is that even remotely possible?
- 13:51SPEAKER_05: How did he get 1.9 million people to say, that's my guy?
- 13:59SPEAKER_05: That's my guy.
- 14:00SPEAKER_05: That doesn't make sense to me.
- 14:02SPEAKER_05: And hopefully, after December 6th, we will see what Georgia does, what Georgia says, what Georgia represents when it comes to the Senate.
- 14:11SPEAKER_05: This is a short episode.
- 14:12SPEAKER_05: It's not going long.
- 14:13SPEAKER_05: We got 15 to go before the end of the season.
- 14:15SPEAKER_05: So this one, guess what?
- 14:16SPEAKER_05: This one counts as an episode, ladies and gentlemen.
- 14:18SPEAKER_05: So we're hitting that outro music.
- 14:24SPEAKER_05: Short, sweet, and to the point.
- 14:27SPEAKER_05: Don't disappoint us, Georgia, please.
- 14:31SPEAKER_05: This is your host, Michael Gillespie.
- 14:32SPEAKER_05: This is the WDM.
- 14:33SPEAKER_05: I'm out.
- 14:34SPEAKER_05: Boy Scout.
- 14:35SPEAKER_05: Peace.
