This has been so much fun. What's going on, everybody? Welcome to the Daily Show, coming to you from Atlanta, Georgia, night three. We've been having so much fun here. Every single day I learned something new about the place, you know, like yesterday I learned that people in Georgia have a really interesting philosophy about food, you know. Yeah, yesterday I asked someone, I said, hey, where should I eat? And they were like, oh, you got to get the wings at JR Crickets. And I was like, oh, yeah?

Yeah? Yeah? People were like, so, so what should I order? So, thri.

They're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's why you gotta go to American deli afterwards and get the peach soda. That's what you gotta do. And then she said my favorite things., she's........... th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. And, th. And, th. th.

That's what we do in Atlanta.

Like it's a balanced diet. I appreciate that. It was delicious. But I slept for a week. I've also learned that people in Atlanta love sports. Wow! This is like a big sports town. Like everyone here, excited for the big Georgia Tennessee game on Saturday. Yeah?

People are hyped for that. It's a big sports town, I really, and I get it. I get it, I mean, the Braves won the World Series, right? The University of Georgia won the national championship, you know? Yeah, the Falcons have really cool jerseys. I see you. Ha ha ha ha ha. And the city, I feel like the city has extra energy now because the midterms are a few days

away. You can feel it. Right? I see the shirts. People out there getting ready to vote. Everybody's voting, breaking early voting records. That's what's happening out here. People are out there making their voices heard. Everybody's standing in line for hours and hours. I stood in line yesterday four hours.

That's how long I stood. Got to the front, turns out it was a place called Sluddy Vegan. Yeah, I didn't know that was a popular restaurant in Atlanta. I thought it was just someone who sleeps around and likes tofu. The line would have been longer for that. But because the midterms, the midterms are on. You know, we've talked about this a little bit. There's ads everywhere in Atlanta. And every the the the the th. And every ad, and every ad, every ad, th. th. th. th. thi. th. th. thi. th. thi. thi. th. thi. that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th. that's th. thi. th. th. th. th. thea. thea. theateateathea.a.a.a.a.a. It's th.a.a. It's th.a.a. It's th.a.a.a.a. It's that's that's that, the midterms are on, you know, we've talked about this a little bit, there's ads everywhere in Atlanta. And every ad, every ad that I've watched in the city is a campaign ad right now. Everything.

You know this. You've seen it. Like I watched TV for 10 minutes last night and I saw 30 minutes worth of ads. And the thing that's, the thing that stuck out out that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's stuck out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's them were mean as shit. Georgia would be different with Abrams. She pushed more COVID lockdowns, wanted businesses closed and kids locked out of schools. Abrams' crime plan, eliminate cash bail, the same failed liberal scheme causing crime to surge in other states. Stacey Abrams and Rafael Warnock support aborting babies not just at six weeks, not just at

15 weeks when a baby can feel pain, but up to 40 weeks. Talk shows, magazine covers, television cameos. Celebrity Stacey, a perfect governor for liberal elites, just not hard-working Georgians. Damn. You know, if you only knew Stacey Abrams from attack ads in Georgia, you would think she was Darth Vader combined with Thanos, combined with that asshole who cut you off in the traffic, pure evil.

Stacey Abrams does all of it. And by the way, I don't understand that last part. What was that? She's bad because she gets interviewed on TV shows? Like, look at this. What are they trying to say? Huh? What is this about? What is this?

Why is this in an attack ad? She hugs Trevor Noah, which means she wants to turn America into Africa. Nothing wrong with hugging me. I give good hugs. I mean, on the flip side, this is good for me. I'm not going to lie to to to have a great excuse anytime I don't want to hang out with anybody you know they'll be like hey you're gonna hang out I'm like I would love to but if we're seen together it could be using an attack ad you know yeah if you ever choose to run for governor of Georgia it's just gonna to spoil you I can't do that you you you you you you you you you you th you th you th you th you th you th you th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tho tho tho tho the tho. the the the the tho. the thoooooo. I think it would be better. And it's not just in Georgia.

This is the thing I've read. It's not just in Georgia. And it's not just mean in this moment. It's getting meaner every single day. Every campaign in America right now is flooding the airwaves with attack ads. Everyone, my opponent will cut your health care, my opponent. And it's always that voice too, right? It's always that attack ad voice. I feel like you can say anything in that voice, and it sounds terrible, you know?

My opponent will donate his kidney to you. That son of a bitch! Wait, what? I need a kidney. You know, if you ask me, honestly, I think attack ads should be illegal. Yeah. I mean it. I think attack ads should be legal. Not campaign ads. Not campaign ads. Attack ads.

I'll tell you why. First of all, I think it's because they only drive our polarization and hate. That's what they do, right? And secondly, politicians should be earning your vote by telling you what they're going to do, not just by shitting on other candidates. Just tell me what you'll do if you want me to vote. Don't tell me about the other person. Because you realize they're auditioning for the job. We don't accept this shit in any other job, right?

There's no other job where you can't apply for it, and then your resume isn't the list of other reasons that the other people suck. You can't they thap tho the other thap can't the other think thia thia thia thine thine thine their thine suck. You can't do that anywhere else. You can't just be sitting there and be like, oh, what are my strengths? Well, I think you should be focusing on Anthony's weaknesses, yeah. That guy types with these index fingers, yeah. So when do I start?

You realize that's not campaigning. That's not winning votes. Right? It's not shouldn't be a part of democracy. It's basically the same strategy. Every R&B song from the 90s used. You remember that? Every song would just be some guy. He's just coming out there like, girl, you know your man ain't treating you right. He never buys you flowers.

He's never taking you to Disney World. She'd be like, well, are you going to take me to Disney World, girl? This ain't about me right now. This is about your man and how he ain't doing you right. And by the way, my car's in the shop, so I might need to borrow yours. Like, it's not helpful. It's not helpful. It's not healthy. And here's a thing.

Here's a thing. It would be one thing if attack ads were just highlighting policy differences between candidates. My opponent wants to raise your taxes, but I want to lower them. That's one thing. But that's not what attack ads do. Because like everything else in America, it has to be supersized. Left-wing politicians are pushing sexual agendas on our children. X-rated drag shows for kids, pornography in elementary schools. Mimit Oz doesn't want you to know about his deadly experiments on puppies.

Katie Hobbs organized a mock slave auction. Katie Hobbs, guilty of racism. No one is safe with liberal Amelia Sykes. Babies have to watch their backs because of Tina Kotech. Tina Kotech, too extreme for Oregon. I'm sorry, what? Babies have to watch their backs? If you're a baby watching that, you are crapping your pants. More than usual, you are shitting yourself.

I've never seen an attack ad trying to scare babies. It's like, watch out babies. Tina Kodak is here. And now she's not. And now she's here. And now she's not. And now she's here. And by the way, I know, I know there's some people who are thinking right now.

Oh, but Trevor, don't I deserve to know the bad things about someone who's running for office? Yes, I think you do, I think you do, and ideally you would get that information from America's responsible, objective news media. That's where you should be getting it from. It doesn't need to be an attack act because here's the thing, here's the They portray opponents as evil, inherently evil monsters. That poisons the entire country. Because what happens to bipartisanship after that? Do people ever think of that? Huh?

You can't be like, yes, I said my opponent wants to drink the blood of children, but now that the election is over, that doesn't mean we can't do that. Why would anyone support that? And what's even worse is that many attack ads are just straight up lies. Straight up lies. Like, for instance, there's an ad in Texas.

Greg Abbott put out this ad, right? A TV ad that spliced together different quotes from Beroa to make it seem like he said something that he didn't say. Right? Yeah, campaign flyers in North Carolina, they show candidates wearing, defund the police t-shirts that they never actually wore. Yeah, and I'm like, okay, well as long as you're photoshopping picks, why not go all the way?

Just go all the new Taylor Swift album. You monster! There's drinking children's blood and then there's evil. Oh, and if you want to see just how bad the lies in these ads can get, look no further than this race in California. We want to show you perhaps the most dishonest TV campaign ad we've ever seen. Some politicians think they should control your child's education. We're trying to indoctriny and our students in communism.

Jay Chen is running for Congress to represent Southern Californians. Here's what Chen actually said. I'm going to be a recipient of some of these attacks, unfortunately. They're going to be claiming that because our school district was teaching Chinese, that meant we were trying to indoctrining our students in communism. Literally, that will be one of the points of attack. Huh? Look at that.

He even called it. He said, these people are probably gonna claim that we're teaching kids communism. And I guess his opponent saw that that that's that's that's that's that's th should do that. Yeah, we should do that. Because here's the thing, it's bad enough. It's bad enough to attack someone. But to pretend they said something they didn't say and attack them for that, that's even worse. You're attacking them for something they didn't say. That's a song about female sexual empowerment, but if you edit out the P, now it's just a song about wet ass.

No one's going to be dancing in the club to that song. Get a bucket of mup for this wet ass. Oh, please do not back that thing up on me. You can't do that. It's good for democracy. And here's the thing that may blow your mind, I know because it blew mind is that it's not illegal to line attack ads. Did you know this? Yeah, it is not illegal. The courts have said that the government cannot ban lying in political ads because it falls under free speech. Yeah. And look maybe you agree maybe you one of those people who thinks oh the government shouldn't get involved in policing what's true or false in ads but here's the thing it already does right if you lie in

an ad for a car or for a for a cell phone or for even toilet paper the FTC will ban that ad. Yeah which is a weird set of priorities right or or or or th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th th. th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi th. Maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi. thi to thi. to to thee. theea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea the. the. TC will ban that ad. Yeah, which is a weird set of priorities. Right? Because if you lie in an election ad, that could undermine your democracy. But if you lie about how many sheets are in a roll of toilet paper, I mean, the worst that could happen is you end up with a wet ass. So, if you ask me, America has everything backwards.

If there's one type of ad you're not allowed to lie in, it should be your political ads. Not only is that better for democracy, but it means you would be allowed to lie in commercial ads, and I think that would be funny as hell. Chef Boyardt says his beef errone is quick and convenient, but 40% of all people who ate beef erronee immediately died. In the other 60% became transgender. It was Chef Boyard hiding under his hat. Is it critical race theory?

He won't say. Chef Boyardt, wrong for dinner, wrong for America. Payed for by Concerned Citizens for Spaghetti Oa. See? Now that's what we need more. All right, we're going to take a quick break. When we come back, Roywood Jr. is going to meet the man behind a lot of Atlanta's music. You don't want to miss it. You don't want to hire can be like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

It's been said that nigh skies finish last. But is that really true? I'm Tim Harford, host of The Cautionary Tales podcast, and I'm exploring that very question. Join me for my new miniseries on the Art of Fairness. We'll travel from New York to Tahiti to India on a quest to learn how to succeed without being a jerk. We'll examine stories of villains undone by their villainy and monstrous self-devaring egos, and we'll delve into the extraordinary power of decency. We'll face mutiny on the vast Pacific Ocean, blaze a trail with a pioneering skyscraper,

and dare to confront a formidable empire. The art of fairness on cautionary tales. Listen on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to the Daily Show. You know, Atlanta is known for its incredible music scene, but it wouldn't be possible without some hitmakers behind the scenes. Roywood Jr. sat down with one of them. You know, Atlanta is known for its incredible music scene, but it wouldn't be possible

without some hit makers behind the scenes. Roywood Jr. sat down with one of them. You probably heard of major Atlanta artists like Young Jesus, Tuchens, and Bobby Valentino. But you probably wouldn't know any of them if it weren't for this guy. Nick the hitmaker love. Atlanta born and raised, he's the reason Atlanta artists go from local legends to international stars. If we're going to be in the city, I had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had to sit sit sit sit sit sit to sit to sit to sit to sit to sit to sit the the the the the to sit down. the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their the hit he's the reason Atlanta artists go from local legends to international stars. If we're going to be in the city, I had to sit down with the man himself. Nick, look, now you're a humble brother.

But this is your chance to brag. Give me some of the songs and artists that you helped to break in Atlanta that eventually became global touring success. Like I've touched everything that has come out of this city, period. And that's not a brag, it's just kind of what it is. I established a pipeline through working with these guys that was like, it was just a blueprint, right? So everybody said, okay, cool.

The thing that you did with Jeezie, thu thii. That's true. Okay. So Jeasy, Luda, whoever, they give you a song. What's the next thing, you take it to a DJ where? Everywhere. Like I'm hitting the strip clubs, I'm hitting the regular clubs, I'm hitting the mixtape guys. I'm trying to put it in front of everybody who has an ear that I respect. And I'm saying, what the girls dancing to this. I can see the dudes riding their car down Pea Street, playing it outside their cars. I know it. So Nick Love's Secret Sauce is just taking a song he likes

and getting it into Atlanta hot spots? Sounds easy, but it's actually a lot of hard work. You gotta form relationships, get people to trust your taste. And apparently you have to hit the strip clubs. I'm not. Nobody want to see the Magic City every day, but in my 20s I was willing to do it. It was a hard job. You know, I was willing to sacrifice, take one for the team and sit in Magic City every day. What is it about being but naked?

That people are naked, now I can feel the music. Pretty girls and money. If you stick pretty girls and money in the the tree, if you're, if you're, if you're, they, they, they, they, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, I, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm their, I'm, I'm their, I was their, I'm their, I was a their, I was a their, I was a their, I was a their, I was a their, I was their, I was their, I was their, I was their, I was their, I was their, I was their, I their, I their, I their, I was their, I was their, I was their, I was their sa, I was tha. I was ta, I was ta, I was a ta, I was a ta, I was a ta, too, I was a ta, I was a too.a, I was a their sa, I was a their their their their ta right? We want to do what the girls like. We want to impress them. And you can catch both of those crowds. Because those are the people who are dictating what's popping in the city. I get what you're saying, bro. All of these transients from all over the country and all over the world are here. And they're all going to to this demographic, chances are this demographic. Yeah, it's gonna go. So this city just one big ass focus group.

That's exactly what it is. It's a research facility at the end of the day. That's what it is. Which strippers? And wings. If this is such an effective way of getting things in front of people, why is music the only thing, do the politicians come to the club? I mean at the end of the day politics hasn't historically been cool right? We know how important it is but it's rarely been cool. We know that cool sales from the time that Puffy did the

voter die campaign that was the switchover of hip-hop culture being involved in politics. We do influence what happens. If we're on board we can affect change. Wait Nick Love makes hits. The midterms are coming in Georgia's a swing state. If Ditty can do it, so can I, right? You can take any song and get it in front of the people who decide if it's a hit. Any song. Get to me. It don't matter what it's about.

Any song, I got you. Remember you said that. I got a song. There the the song. There the song. There the song. There the song. There to to to to to to to to to to to to to tha. to to to thoge. to to thoge. to to thoge. to thoge. thoge. tho. that. to thoge. to to to to to to to to to to to tho. to to tom. tom. tom. tom. tom. tom. tom. tom. tap. tap. tap. tape. tape. tape. tape. tape. tape. tape. tape. tape. tape. tode. toda. today. today. today. today. today. today. today. today. today. today. today. today. I got a song. I got a haulla, my man. There has to be a way to activate Georgia voters. So I borrowed some cash from my cousin's, cousins, mother's aunt, and I linked up with a swaythee. So I borrowed some cash from my cousin's, cousin's, mother's aunt, and I linked up with Swade the remix guy, you know this guy. Deans, creams, potatoes, tomatoes, lamb, friends, the world,

to make a hit in the studio. This good, this good. Air, air drop that shit. Time to take this heat to the street. Hey, what's up everybody? My name, Roy, I'm a rap out of Bermanentham. I'm 43 years old. It's Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick Nick the hitmaker, I got a track.

Even the campaign is heatingthat can determine who gets control. Senator Raphael Warnock going up against first and watch this month. Whatever the V is in the house, whatever the thee is in the house. I want to make sure my vote is.

So not a hit. I've heard worse. You know what if you play with a little bit, turn the music up a little louder. Stop, stop, what, if you play with a little bit, turn the music up a little louder. Stop, stop, stop, just stop. All right, so what did y'all think about my track? It was pretty, it was pretty cool. Why you stuttering though, why are you stuttering though? What are you doing?

What are the lyrics? How do you hear the lyrics? You want to hear it one more time? No, no, you get it. Did it or not? What are the lyrics? Don't, you heard the lyrics, he said he had a truck. Yeah, you're a bullf, you gotta go, go, f-fix in the dead in the boat, you didn't get up in the book. That was the song. That was the song. Don't vote. Be honest with me. Okay. Do I have a hit on my hands yes or no?

More country than rap. Get low? That's the last song you listen to is Little John Get Low? Yeah. Yeah. What does the song mean? Why is it not a hit to you? I don't really hear you in it though.

What else because I was sampling some other stuff? And I, my rapping part I hadn't finished yet. So no verses, just features. So you're saying it needs a verse for me? Yeah, yeah. Because that wouldn't make it you rapping. And these Atlanta folks tripping. This shit fire.

I'm Tim Harford, host of the Cautionary Tales podcast, and I'm exploring that very question. Join me for my new miniseries on the Art of Fairness. We'll travel from New York to Tahiti to India on a quest to learn how to succeed without being a jerk.

We'll examine stories of villains undone by their villainy, and monstrous self-devaring egos, and we'll delve into the extraordinary power of decency. We'll face mutiny on the vast Pacific Ocean, blaze a trail with a pioneering skyscraper, and dare to confront a formidable empire. The art of fairness on cautionary tales. Listen on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is a senior pastor of the historic Ebenezer Baptist church right here in Atlanta and he currently represents the state of Georgia in the United States Senate. Please welcome Senator Raphael Warner. I love you. Reverend slash Senator Raphael Warnock, welcome to the Daily Show.

Thank you. Reverend slash Senator Raphael Warnock, welcome to the Daily Show. Thank you so much. I'm gonna jump straight into it and I know so many. Welcome to your Atlanta. You know no one is welcoming me back? You're the first person. You see, this is why you're a reverend.

I like that. I like that. I like that. First, first things first. This is turning into a race that is way closer than people anticipated. It is turning into a race that has become a lot more national than many people anticipated. And what's been surprising is seeing how little of the news is actually about what you're doing wrong. It's just about what the other candidate is saying which seems crazy and and yet it seems closer than it should be. So I'd love to start with that.

Why do you think Georgia or Georgian voters or the polls are showing that Georgian voters are so close when it seems like most people would say the two of you are so far apart? Well I agree with the last part of what you just said. Wow. Wow. The differences between the options that Georgians have right now are wide and deep. And look, the reality is we always knew this would be a close race. And I think that speaks to where the country is and where people are. But I think when you look close and you don't have to look that close. You can see that Georgians have a clear choice. I think about who's ready

and who's fit to serve, to represent them in the United States Senate. And I believe that at the end of the day, Jordan's not going to get it right. Yeah. Thank you. Let's talk about what many Georgians may feel is going wrong. There are many who are saying, we need change. And as we've seen multiple times in American politics,

it's all about what people's pockets feel like, it's all about what their gas tank looks like that determines a lot of how they vote. There are many Georgians have said, I love you, Senator, I love what you're doing and what you represent, but I feel like in this moment the Republicans are promising something that is better or different. How would you, how would you respond to the people who say that to you? Well in my thu? thu? thu? thu? thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their their thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, toge, te, te, teuu. te. te. te. thoo. thooomoomorrow, thi, thi in my case my opponent hasn't promised a thing. I mean think about it. I mean that and I'm not being flipping I want you to think what what has he actually promised to do? So look there's no question that these are tough times and people are feeling the pain and the pinch. We've been through over two years of a pandemic and now that the economy has opened up we're seeing these rising costs, supply chain issues

related to the pandemic. We're seeing rising prices by the way globally. Right. Driven by the war in Ukraine and on top of that you've got bad actors in the corporate space who are literally exploits the the thly thly thly thly thly th. thly th. thly th. thly th. th. th. We th. We th. We thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi tho tho thi thi thi the tho tho-tha tho-tha tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi th. We th. We th. We th. We th. We th. th. th. We th. We th. We have th. We have thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the the the the the the the the the the the the the thee an theee an theeeeeee an thee an the the the the the th Right. Driven by the war in Ukraine and on top of that you've got bad actors in the corporate space who are literally exploiting a pandemic while we, while we are paying record prices at the pump, at the pharmaceutical counter, at the grocery store, they are literally experiencing record profit. And so, so the question is who's going to do something about it? Who cares about ordinary people? And I, I, I, I,

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, that, I take this job very seriously. You know it's a real honor for your neighbors to say we want you to represent us in high office. And so that's the reason why I cap the cost of insulin to no more than $35.

That's the reason I cap the cost of insulin to no more than $35. That's that's the reason I kept the cost of drugs. That's the reason I cap the cost of prescription drugs, so women and men like my 84-year-old mother wouldn't have to choose between buying the medicine they need and the groceries they need. That's why I... I remained focused on the people. And when I talked the other night about capping

the cost of insulin and the fact that corporations are gouging insulin a 100 year old drug my opponent said people just need to eat right so so I mean those were his words right those were his words right so those were his words and you know as a pastor I have encouraged healthy living but those were his words. Right. And, you know, as a pastor, I have encouraged healthy living, but that doesn't explain why the corporations are engaged in price gouging, and you can eat right and still have diabetes. Right.

Right. So, here's my recommendation. I think Herschel Walker should be the diitian and I'll serve in the United States Senate. Let's talk a little bit as well about how you work as well. I have found it particularly interesting that even in your campaign ads in Georgia, you've gone out of your way to talk about Republicans who you have worked with, which to many people would seem like suicide. You know, you say I've worked with Ted Cruz, I've worked with, I've worked with, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, the, the, the, th, th, the, th, the, th, th, the, th, th, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, th, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, th. th. there, there, there, there, there, there, there, th. there, there, th. there, the, th. there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there's there, there, theree, to to to to to to to to theree, to to to to theree, you have worked with, which to many people would seem like suicide. You know, you say I've worked with Ted Cruz, I worked with Marco Rubier. Now most people don't even admit that they know Ted Cruz. And yet, here you are saying, no, I worked with Ted Cruz, I worked with Markerubier.

You've made an effort of talking about reaching across the aisle and working with other lawmakers to get things done. It seems like that is dwindling in American politics. As you said, people are retreating to their corners and saying, this is where I stand, I work with no one else. Do you not worry about alienating some, who say, oh, how can you reach across the ti, or why is it that you choose to particularly include that in your own, the campaign, the your ad, why include Ted Cruz's name, why put it Marco Rubio's name in it? Yeah I'm the 18th most bipartisan senator in the Senate based according to the Lugar Center, I'm the 18th and that's that's a little bit of an achievement because out of 100 senators, wow, I'm 100.

I'm the most junior senator in the Senate, and I've been able to convince people to work with me to pull people together. And so, yeah, I will be honest. Ted Cruz and I are both on the Commerce Committee. Most of the time when he's talking, I'm sitting there thinking to myself, really? Like, you put on a suit in a tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie to come to come to come to to to their to the to their to to to to to to to to to to to to to their their their to to to to to to to their their their their their the most. I'm the most. I'm the most. I'm the most. I'm the most. I'm the most. I'm the most. I the most. I, I, I, I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I'm the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the th. the most the most there thinking to myself, really? Like, you put on a suit in a tie to come here to do that. So that's usually what I'm thinking. But when it came time to name I-14, a priority corridor in Georgia, an interstate that would run through Texas and also through Georgia, would connect our military bases, would revitalize a lot of our rural areas

that have been suffering all throughout Georgia. I didn't mind working with Ted Cruz to do that. If we can build out the highway, nobody cares if you're a Democrat or Republican. You get to use the highway. So what I've endeavored to do is not to be a senator who used to be a pastor, but a pastor in the Senate, which is why I return to my pulpit. I preach here every Sunday, and you continue to do the important work. So I hope the people of Georgia will give me six more years to keep doing this work. Because... You're going to continue to go by?

There's a good talk that might happen. Thank you so much for joining us. Thank you so much. Senator Raphael Wollock, everybody. We're going to take a quick break, we'll be right back.
