on stage tonight, what might be the most important debate of this entire midterm election cycle, democratic senator raphael warnock versus republican candidate herschel walker in savannah, georgia. a race that could control the party for the next two years. the stakes would already be insanely high even if the republican candidate wasn t facing a major scandal about whether or not he paid for an ex-girlfriend s abortion despite running oen an antiabortion platform. here s how herschel walker addressed his ex-girlfriend s accusation just a few minutes ago. that s a lie. and on abortion, you know, oi ma christian. i believe in life. i tell people this. georgia is a state that respects life. and i ll be a senator, it protects life. i say that was a lie, and i m not backing down. we ll get back to that scandal in georgia in just a moment. but to understand exactly what s happening there, regarding scandals requires a little context because the term scandal took on a whole new
The show had women and people of color. what did you make of that? well, yeah, has a lot of strong female characters, which i absolutely love and it s not unprecedented for talking. the lead of the show is a strong female character and very much a talking character. i think that criticism doesn t make humuch sense. as far as the race diversity issue goes, we chained that out because essentially, you re watching a fantasy show. right. of various creeds and cultures, elves and dwarves coming together uniting against evil so what better way to represent the fellowship than to bring people of various creeds and cultures and races together to portray those characters? that to me makes perfect sense. my response when we were talking about it in the office is they re elfs, they re
Not to regime, the apartheid regime of south africa. stay with us, we have more questions for you. we re going to take a trip to middle earth because the character you re playing in lord of the rings, an slaying that s coming up. or an unbearable itch. this painfulul, blistering rash can disrupt your life for weeks.s. it could make your workday feel impossible. the virus that causes shingles is likely already inside of you. if you re 50 years or older, ask your doctor or pharmacist about shingles.
Minute left. you were in ohio this week. tell me about some of the general trends you re seeing out there in the closing weeks. well, you know, this election is really seen three waves. there was the wave in the spring where it looked like republicans were just going crush democrats, huge blue wave. biden really having trouble. biden had a good summer, passed a lot of legislation, had things for democrats to talk about, then you had the hobbs decision. things shifted back democrats way. now you have the bad inflation report. there s a sense republicans are getting momentum because the economy and inflation are kicking in. this is really a race that s really clearly divided between democrats who care about protecting democracy and abortion rights and republican who is talk about crime and immigration and the economy. it depends on what voters care about. we don t have a precedent for this type of election, so we only have the past to judge. and this is clearly a new ball game. so, st
Walker sent to her. it shows the specifically more broadly post the hobbs decision was likely to get a lot more attention tonight and just didn t. it s really shocking. obviously you think it s a mistake that senator warnock has not addressed this issue more forcefully or even at all. how would you add vievise that it. obviously he s worried about the sensitivities here. well, i think you just have to take it heads up. and, you know, as many people have observed, there s the issue of the abortion itself, which to your point is all about hypocrisy. this is a guy who says that at one point in the campaign he supported no exceptions. he s waffling about on that too. but to hold that position and then contrary personal conduct on it says a lot about character. and the fact is that you have to confront it in a way to say that this is but also to christian walker s point, it s much more than just about abortion. it s about personal responsibility and family. and walker makes a big poin
