What are you hearing from voters, especially voters as we approach Election Day?

Reverend, thank you so much for having me.

And we are seeing record turnout here in Georgia.

And let me tell you one of the things driving that record turnout.

You know, Donald Trump's attacks on voting rights have been focused on Georgia over the last decade.

His call to Brad Raffensperger, demanding that Georgia's secretary of state, quote, find him precisely the number of votes that he needed to win in a state that he had lost.

His obsession with overturning the result here in Georgia.

Does the presidential buzz bother you or does it let you know that you're connecting with voters even beyond the state of Georgia?

Our first guest tonight, Georgia Senator John Ossoff, in his campaign for reelection, has been taking voters on a tour of Donald Trump's Russian interests.

While the world burns, in Washington and at Mar-a-Lago, it's a spectacle of graft unprecedented in American history.

Now maybe you saw Trump so desperate he's begging Putin for diesel.

But listen to this.

At the very same time, The White House is brokering the sale of billions in Russian energy assets to people who fund the Trump family and the Trump campaign.

We're talking oil fields, refineries, gas stations all over the world to be sold to the first family's cronies in a deal brokered and backed by the US government.

Y'all remember Jared Kushner? The president's son-in-law, the so-called special envoy? responsible for diplomacy with Russia and in the Middle East? Do you remember the other special envoy, Steve Witkoff, who co-founded the president's crooked crypto business, World Liberty? Okay, so follow me through on this.

So Donald Trump is saying that, yes, you can call Vladimir Putin a humanitarian for letting someone out of prison after keeping that person in prison for four years and torturing him and killing children while he was at it.

Do you have kind of a general position on the expansion of those here, even with a lot of people complaining about them?

Chris, thank you again for having me and good morning, everybody.

This is your Senator John Ossoff.

And here's my number one concern is making sure that small businesses and families aren't paying higher utility rates as a result of all this additional load that's coming on the grid from these projects.

I've opened an inquiry with the federal energy regulator.

asking the administration to explain how they're going to hold these big tech companies accountable to the public commitments that they've made, that it won't be ratepayers, meaning it won't be ordinary folks, households, and small businesses who are facing sky-high utility bills as a result of the huge energy demand from these massive projects.

I mean, the cost of living crisis right now is only worsening in part as a result of the war in the Middle East, in part as a result of tariffs in part as a result of bad health care policy.

No Lead in Toys Act is one of them that would seem sort of common sense, right? But you're unsatisfied with the way this is tested.

your reaction to that?

Let's just...

Put aside the notion that the president has any power to declare sitting U.S. senators illegitimate.

Yeah, he does not.

But here's what's amazing to me.

In Georgia, people are furious at this administration and not just Democrats because it's so clear the president doesn't care about the economic pain Americans are feeling.

And he cares about himself lining his own pockets, building a ballroom.

after having campaigned on this idea that he was going to focus on regular issues that impact Americans like rent and housing and groceries, was handed on a silver platter, a housing bill, that his own party had advanced, bipartisan, but his own party had participated in advancing that bill, refused to sign it because he wanted to instead use it as a hostage to again try and pass a law that would ultimately just be a federal takeover of elections?

Can you talk about that and can you define that and what that means?

I think it means that we will be a team focused on delivering a positive vision for our state's future and how good state government and good federal policy can work together to serve the state's needs.

What do I mean by that specifically? You know, we have lost in the last 20 years 21 hospitals in the state of Georgia, in large part because our state government has refused to expand Medicaid.

And what does it mean to expand Medicaid? It means that the state has refused to accept federal resources that would help fund our hospitals and get people health insurance.

We're paying the same federal taxes as people in every other state.

We're just not accepting the benefit.

from the federal government to fund our hospitals and help people afford health insurance.
