trouble. we re seeing this again today. now donald trump has set his sights with complete focus on this issue. remember trump s legendary bullying of georgia s secretary of state brad raffensperger. trump called him in early january asking him to just find 11,000 votes to change the outcome of the race in georgia. i just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have because we won the state. so what are we going to do here, folks? i only need 11,000 votes. fellows, i need 11,000 votes. give me a break. as we all know, raffensperger refused to participate in the coup. not even clear what he could do if he wanted to, but he refused to find 11,000 votes. so raffensperger now has a trump-endorsed primary challenger. you re next secretary of state, a friend of mine,
i never expected to see that nexus happen in kennesaw, georgia. and that s what led me to the story. ayman mohyeldin, thank you. the first episode of american radical is out now. you should absolutely go right now and take a listen. it s fantastic. thanks, ayman. coming up, it turns out trump was the supe earp spreader event. how the number of people he met after testing positive for covid is now in the hundreds, ahead. h blood pressure, a cold is not just a cold. unlike other cold medicines, coricidin provides powerful cold relief without raising your blood pressure be there for life s best moments with coricidin. now in sugar free liquid.

integrity. but some good republican will run and some good republican will get my endorsement, and some good republican will win. well, you probably know where this is going. lo and behold, some good republican has raised his hand. i m david perdue. i m running for governor to make sure stacey abrams is never governor of georgia. to fight back, we simply have to be united. unfortunately, today we re divided, and brian kemp and brad raffensperger are to blame. look, i like brian. this isn t personal. it s simple. he has failed all of us and cannot win in november. instead of protecting our elections, he caved to abrams and cost us two senate seats, the senate majority, and gave joe biden free rein. think about how different it would be if kemp had fought abrams first instead of fighting trump. what does that even mean? just minutes ago the official stamp of approval from donald trump came in.
in charge of the environment division, which under trump you know he wasn t supposed to do anything in. and he got himself all cooked up with a scheme to undo the election where? in georgia. yeah. he has now plead the fifth. he is not exactly a principle figure. he is kind of dweebie. so the likelihood that there were people behind him steering that letter at georgia as part of that scheme operating within the department of justice and through the department of justice is a pretty strong probability right now. so, you know, georgia could be the place trump goes for redemption, but georgia could also be the place where justice comes for trump. you mentioned jeffrey clark and his sort of involvement in the department of justice. he apparently has pleaded the fifth now in terms of the subpoena from the committee. there are other layers here as well. what we re seeing happen in realtime is the assembling of people that will be willing to do what raffensperger didn t,
with trump for this particular reason. there is no other real way to interpret it, right? this is what it s about. right? you can t say there is some other agenda here. nope. and, well, if you look at georgia, you know, you see that trump has got these candidates in his trump slate that he is trying to move into georgia, and that s one issue. you played the tape of his call to secretary of state raffensperger, and that s part of a scheme to try to influence the election and in fact to try to cheat in that election. that goes straight into georgia as well as david perdue. and then you got a third thread, which i ll bring in, if you don t mind, which is jeffrey clark, the guy we re looking at in the senate judiciary committee who was in the u.s. department of justice, nominally
