The American People, essentially putting him at odds with Georgia Republican senators just three days out from election day. Senators david perdue and Kelly Loeffler are among only a handful of republican senators who have publicly come out and supported President Trumps demand for 2,000 stimulus checks. The pair have little room to break from the president as they look for his support to help them fend off tough competition from democrats jon ossoff and Raphael Warnock respectively and in a rare instance of agreement warnock and ossoff agree with both loeffler and perdue when it comes to upping payments, the two democrats have used the issue on the campaign trail as they try to pull off another blue win in georgia. I think its shameful. We should have passed months ago , and this is what happens when the politics becomes about the politicians. As you look at it this is a lot of maneuvering between politicians, and they live a kind of privilege that allows them to do that. Reporter and
The other thing that got my imagination going is often the marshals, deputies will get into will theonment and the person theyre looking for who they th know is there cant be found and so it becomes a game of hide and seek. They and the places that people hide, one of my favorite stories is in guess tony burke i think from california told me this story, that they had i believe it was him, that they had found a drug a store that a drug operation was being run out of with heavy weapons, and they knew these people were very heavily armed. td and they arranged it was a dry cleaning store. And they arranged to go into it. And they went in and there was nobody there. The store was empty. The but they heard sounds in the ceiling, under the tile ceiling. So somebody took a broom and poked one of the tiles and one of the guys fell out of the ceiling, and then just like that these guys started falling out of the ceiling. And they said it was raining felons. G, alinghewasaini so that other part i
Surprise. Plus, the great dan rather on the rightwing media infecting the political process. Shades of the o. J. Trial after another blade runner bombshell. A Florida College names its stadium after a private prison. Ill tell you why thats an awful idea. And fat cats beware. Theres a brand new push to go after Capital Gains taxes. I dont know how much longer im going to do this. Good to have you with us tonight, folks. Thanks for watching. Most people who pick up a newspaper in this country go to the usa today. It is still the most highly circulated paper in the country. This is what folks who picked up the usa today saw this morning. A frontpage graphic of president obama with pairs of blue lines and red lines. You see, the blue lines represent support for president obamas policies.

Struck with the reality that the reason for it today is the Republican Party. Not the party of the 1960s but one of the reince priebuss parties, that one. The one thats backed Voter Suppression efforts in dozens of states and keeps on doing it. Every time a state run by a Republican Legislature and governor passes another bill making it harder to vote, cutting down on voting days, expanding voter i. D. Requirements, you have to wonder, are they doing precisely what the Voting Rights act was designed to stop . Are they deliberately making it harder for minority voters to get into the vote booth and cast their ballots . The Republican Party can be proud of its heritage in certain regards. Certainly Abraham Lincoln pushing through the 13th amendment outlawing slavery. Certainly the backing of men like senator Everett Dirks of illinois for the civil rights act. The question going into history books today for this young century is whether the Republican Party will be as proud in the future
