Shelley WynterHOST
Oh, by the way, breaking news, the president's coming here Saturday, as many of you know, he's going to Macon.
Shelley WynterHOST
And reportedly this morning, the Jackson campaign will be in Cherokee County, I believe.
Shelley WynterHOST
I believe it's Cherokee County when the president's here in Macon.
Shelley WynterHOST
The Jackson campaign already had a campaign stop already planned.
Shelley WynterHOST
As you know, the president popped up with Macon on the calendar probably less than a week, a week and a half ago.
Yamiche AlcindorPANELIST
However, Trump went down to see Mike Collins and he went to Dalton, Georgia, an area that's already very red that he won by 40 plus points.
Yamiche AlcindorPANELIST
He should have gone to Metro Atlanta where I'm from, Cobb County, Cherokee County, Gwinnett, areas where you need to compete with John Ossoff for those suburban voters.
Yamiche AlcindorPANELIST
So even when Trump is going to those states, is he going to the right areas that lift up the voters out of what he
Laura CoatesHOST
needs? And is he saying what needs to be said all along on the campaign trail, not just the last 15 days? Because, Jim, the president has spent the past few days, he's been demanding that New Mexico is renamed New America.
Jack MillerGUEST
And it speaks to the relationships that I'll be able to continue and that I have with current stakeholders in the community now that'll help further.
Jack MillerGUEST
legislation that helps North Fulton and Cherokee County out.
Jack MillerGUEST
We have a small piece of Cherokee County.
Jack MillerGUEST
It's the free home, half of the free home precinct.
Jack MillerGUEST
So Hawks Ridge is kind of the northern end of the district, and it gets down into downtown Alpharetta and parts of Roswell as well.
ChuckHOST
I, I, uh, try to get it real quick to get you the top 10 counties of votes that have come in.
ChuckHOST
Top 10 counties: Fulton County, number one, Dekalb County, number two, Cobb, number three, Gwinnett, number four, Cherokee County, number five, Forsyth, Henry, Clayton, Chatham, and Fayette County.
ChuckHOST
Essentially, Metro Atlanta is-
MannyHOST
Mm-hmm
ChuckHOST
... leading that charge.
ChuckHOST
Fulton County, 100, 102,000; Dekalb, 70,000; Cobb County, 68,000; Gwinnett, 63,000.
ChuckHOST
Cherokee County, which is a little further north, um, and Forsyth County further north are 26,000 and 21,000 respectfully.
ChuckHOST
Res- um, and this goes to a couple of episodes ago when Manny brought up the point of h- the turnout for Metro Atlanta and those-
Diana ElderHOST
In 1830, we've got John Dawson of Clark County and Robert Cessna of Morgan County in another court case.
Diana ElderHOST
And in 1835, they've moved out to Cherokee County, which is out west.
Diana ElderHOST
And Robert Cessna is selling 40 acres to John Dawson.
Diana ElderHOST
So that is a lot of records of the John Dawson Cessna connection.
6 MINS LATER
Diana ElderHOST
So he was definitely a different man.
Diana ElderHOST
And we also have a John Dawson of Emanuel County who died about 1857, leaving a widow, Rebecca Dawson.
Diana ElderHOST
So I had some John Dawsons I had to separate identities for or just actually create identities for, saying this is not our John who moves out of the area and goes up into Cass and Cherokee County.
Nicole DyerHOST
All right, well, what does this prove? Well, the indirect evidence establishes that John Dawson married Elizabeth Betsy Cessna, daughter of Samuel Cessna and Mary Baker Cessna Royston, between 1811 and early 1816, most probably in Greene or Morgan County, during the 1812 to 1813 gap in Greene County's marriage register.
Scott CarrCORRESPONDENT
The Republican nominee for governor in Georgia is skipping President Trump's rally this Saturday in Macon.
Scott CarrCORRESPONDENT
Instead, Rick Jackson's campaign confirms he'll spend Saturday turning out Republican voters in suburban Cherokee County.
Scott CarrCORRESPONDENT
This after a new Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll showed 55% of likely Georgia voters disapproving of President Trump's job performance compared with 42 percent who said they approve.
Scott CarrCORRESPONDENT
They've been holding more vigils in Bend, Oregon, in the days after what became that state's first mass shooting at an elementary school.
Tori BranumHOST
Oh, lots of speaking engagements.
Tori BranumHOST
I spoke in Cherokee County, Georgia to a group at the Christian Impact Ministry Center on Tuesday.
Tori BranumHOST
They're a group that gets together and they do political activism.
Tori BranumHOST
They were very curious about the rise of the Islamic regime in America.
Fred GoodwinGUEST
And I got a little secret, I'll tell you.
Fred GoodwinGUEST
I've been in Cherokee County a long time.
Fred GoodwinGUEST
Done ministry in Georgia a long time.
Fred GoodwinGUEST
Baptists aren't any better than us.
12 MINS LATER
Fred GoodwinGUEST
I'm not sure I'm always there.
Fred GoodwinGUEST
You can ask Jill.
Fred GoodwinGUEST
it was only about 10 or 15 years ago, one of my prayer warriors when I was a pastor here in Cherokee County came to me one day and she said, Fred, I think you're striving too much.
Fred GoodwinGUEST
And my first thought was, I hope she means that as a compliment.
