On today's show, I finally decide to address the faux controversy around Kansas City Chief's kicker, Harrison Butker's, speech he delivered at a Catholic university's commencement. It's illustrative of how far the Left has pushed our culture and just how disturbing that divide really is. I'm always encouraged when I see people push back against the false, state approved narratives from the Legacy/mainstream media. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) was on NBC's Meet the Press and did a great job pushing back on Kristen Welker and her agenda-driven questions. Then we dive into the disgusting and bigoted commencement speech delivered by President Biden to Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA. Filled with lies, misrepresentations, anger, division and his bleak view of the world, I cannot imagine those students left feeling uplifted. A CBS News poll in Arizona reveals 72% believe Donald Trump would put the interests of U.S. citizens over immigrants, while only 13% said the same of Biden. And a new Gallup poll shows dismal marks for Biden's economic management. Dr. Johnston from the Georgia State Elections Board recently addressed a large gathering in the state and apologized to the voters for not taking election fraud claims seriously. It took over three years to hear the case! Speaking of voter fraud in the state of Georgia, the Gateway Pundit is reporting that Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, along with his right-hand man Gabriel Sterling, are set to use Power to the Polls to get their poll workers. The issue with that is they are a Left wing funding organization that is funded, in part, by George Soros. Michael Cohen is back on the stand in the NY trial of Donald Trump and insiders are tweeting more revelations. Seems Cohen is now an admitted thief and an embezzler. We are also seeing Judge Merchan doing all he can to block the defense and aid the prosecution. What's even more astounding, the lead prosecutor, who was third in line form AG Merrick Garland, was the person who facilitated Michael Cohen's elections interference plea before going to work in Bragg's office. It's almost like they were working on the setup before anyone knew. Finally, we close similarly to how we opened, with another commencement speech from Harrison Butker, this time to the graduates at Georgia Institute of Technology. I'm still baffled how he is considered the threat to our country as compared to the rot and debauchery endorsed by the Left.

FRONTLINE investigates the roots of the federal criminal case against former President Donald Trump stemming from his 2020 election loss in a special audio version of the new documentary Democracy on Trial.  In part two, Georgia election official Gabriel Sterling issues a stark warning about the potential for violence. Rusty Bowers, former Arizona House speaker and a lifelong Republican, testifies in front of the Jan. 6 Select Committee about former President Donald Trump's campaign of pressure on local officials. And two Georgia election workers, Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman, face racist threats after being named in a conspiracy theory about stolen votes.  Tune in next week for the third installment of the audio-only version of the documentary here on The FRONTLINE Dispatch. Watch Democracy on Trial in full on FRONTLINE's website, YouTube or the PBS App. 

Last November, the High Turnout Wide Margins team held a live event looking ahead to 2024's election cycle. Hosts Brianna Lennon and Eric Fey spoke - for the first time – with Secretary of State-level election administrators: Gabriel Sterling in Georgia and Trey Grayson in Kentucky. They spoke about some of the things they've learned during their time working in elections.

So the Stop Cop City folks say they already have 80,000+ signatures to get a referendum on the ballot, but will keep collecting until next Monday. Former state & federal prosecutor and legal volunteer Alex Joseph joined me to discuss. It's Trump-a-palooza at the Fulton County courthouse as we await indictments, but in the meanwhile, a "who's who" of witnesses marched in to testify today. First, we have to point out the curious quip Gabriel Sterling made yesterday on "This Week" with Jon Karl about Trump's indictments giving his 2024 bid "oxygen" while leaving out the LOADS of "oxygen" GOP enablers gave him from 2016 to January 6, 2021. I'm also not going to hold back when pundits lob words like "disgrace" at elementary school teachers accused of reading a childrens' book bought at a book fair (at that school!) to her fifth grade classroom. Shame on Phil Kent for that. A former newspaper editor should have a broader vocabulary. Also, while whining about "My Shadow Is Purple," the man wore a maize-colored blazer on "The Georgia Gang" last week; not blue, nor black or grey ... MAIZE YELLOW. Lastly, Nick (white nationalist) Fuentes is "big mad" at the "immigrant" judge who happens to be a black woman, too. Hear his screed.

Michael Levine, one of the best PR gurus and author of "Guerilla PR," joins to see how far the wokies will go. Justin Giboney and I talk hard topics from both sides of wokeness. Gabriel Sterling explains voter security in Georgia. And Matt Brown and I discuss how the censure of Adam Schiff is like Game of Thrones. There's no one who gives better and more balance analysis than Martha Zoller.

This week on Political Breakfast, a group of Democratic lawmakers including Georgia Congresswoman Nikema Williams are pushing a joint resolution to negate a clause in the 13th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution -- that permits the use of slavery and involuntary servitude as a punishment for a crime. Currently the 13th Amendment says, "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."Plus, court records released recently have caused questions to swirl about just how secure the Dominion Voting machines are here in Georgia. At issue is the software that has been deemed by cybersecurity experts as being "vulnerable." Georgia Secretary of State officials say any updates will have to wait until after the 2024 presidential election. Chief Operating Officer Gabriel Sterling sits down with host Lisa Rayam and strategists Brian Robinson and Tharon Johnson.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Whew; the news we awoke to today from Athens, where Athens-Clarke police laid out their findings that detailed a raucous night of drinking and street-racing on January 15th, leading to two UGA football-related deaths. For potential top NFL draftee Jalen Carter, it was not a good day for him. He bowed out of media time at the combine earlier today, likely because he'd be asked why he fled the scene of the accident only to return 90 minutes later. Next up, there appears to be growing consensus that the "city of Buckhead city" movement will die a Senate floor death tomorrow (good). Even Brian Kemp's administration is crapping on it. Also some bad news for the North Fulton municipal folks eyeing detaching themselves from the rest of Fulton County when it comes to administering elections: it's too damned expensive. Also, a warning: Georgia Power already got a rate increase, and they're telling us - on top of that - we can expect a 17% increase come June to handle fossil fuel costs. In 2023. Sad. Listen, I know folks fete the likes of Brad Raffensberger and Gabriel Sterling for fending off the illegal Trump meddling in Georgia's election results three years ago, but I maintain that "career Republicans" are only being attacked by the monsters they coddled and raised all along. Hear what Gabe had to endure whilst sitting next to Marjorie Taylor Greene at a "Georgia Election Integrity Caucus" last night. Lastly, some good news on the education front: Ben Hill County bigots only brought the rest of the county together to rally behind an out-lesbian superintendent candidate. Go figure! Also, Georgia's "Don't Say Gay!" bill is stalling out - mostly because religious school & camp folks are concerned the scrutiny may also come to their indoctrination offerings. Oops.

The fourth Hearing of the House Select Committee on the Jan. 6 Attack on the Capitol features State Election Officials who a lame-duck president pressured to falsify vote counts. Witnesses included Rusty Bowers, Arizona House Speaker; Gabriel Sterling, Georgia Secretary of State Chief Operating Officer and Brad Raffensperger, Georgia Secretary of State.  Raffensperger's testimony was backed up by an infamous audio recording of then-President Trump pressuring him to come up with 11,780 votes.  Joe Biden beat Trump in Georgia by 11,779 votes.  The other witnesses were Shaye Moss, a former Georgia election worker, and her mother, Lady Ruby. Who women Trump accused of stuffing Georgia ballots with votes for Biden. False accusations. But still resulted in death threats.   For more on this story, check out my website, gloriamoraga.com

Gabriel Sterling speech and interview re-release. Republican electoral official Gabriel Sterling was a witness called before the January 6 committee this week to give evidence into what went on in the days leading up to the attack on the Capitol. This is a Speakola interview released as episode 23 in August 2021, during the Olympics. Sterling talks about the art of off the cuff speech making, as well as the anger he felt about threats of violence directed towards low level contractors working in the Georgia count. He also talks about the heat in modern day politics, the invective, and the push towards extremism. His 'Somebody is going to get killed' speech is the defining speech of The Big Lie period. As he says in this episode. 'It sucks to be right'. Tony Wilson has a new writing substack (free) you can subscribe to if you enjoy his words.

The officials who appeared before the Jan. 6 committee were Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and his chief operating officer Gabriel Sterling — all Republicans who indicated then-President Trump pushed them to violate their obligations to the Constitution.The committee also heard from Shaye Moss, a former staff election worker in Georgia who was targeted by Trump and his allies over baseless conspiracy theories about election fraud. She left her job as racist attacks and threats against her safety mounted.This episode: White House correspondent Scott Detrow, congressional correspondent Deirdre Walsh, and Georgia Public Broadcasting's Stephen Fowler.Support the show and unlock sponsor-free listening with a subscription to The NPR Politics Podcast Plus.

Today's fourth hearing focused on how Trump corruptly pressured state legislators and election officials to change election results — leaning on state officials to alter the vote and to create slates of fake electors pledged to Trump — and their unwillingness to go along with Trump. But under the surface of today's hearing and its revelations lurks the civil war that Trump has created within the Republican Party — between the dwindling number of Republican officials who maintain their oaths to the Constitution, and Republican officials who were (and still are ) willing to bend — and the committee's attempt to fortify the former.1. The committee highlighted Republicans who maintained their oaths of office and did not just refuse Trump's demands but also stood up to mobs unleashed by Trump. Rusty Bowers, speaker of the Arizona House of Representatives, testified that in phone calls with both Trump and Giuliani after the election, Giuliani asserted that hundreds of thousands of undocumented people had voted, and that many ballots were from people who had died. Bowers asked for evidence to back this claim but never received it. Trump asked Bowers to hold a hearing at the Arizona State Capitol to investigate allegations of election fraud, but Bowers did not believe that the evidence “merited a hearing” and “did not want to be used as a pawn.” Bowers later told Trump, “You are asking me to do something against my oath, and I will not break my oath.” Bowers's emotional testimony described the threats he endured as a result.Brad Raffensperger, Georgia's secretary of state, testified that President Biden carried the state of Georgia by approximately 12,000 votes. All ballots were twice recounted by hand, with no difference in the result. The committee played the recording of Trump trying to push Raffensperger to “find” just as many votes as he needed to beat Biden. “I just want to find 11,780 votes,” Trump said. “Give me a break.” But Raffensperger testified that “there were no votes to find. It was an accurate count that had been certified.” When Raffensperger refused Trump, Trump threatened him with a “criminal offense.” Raffensperger subsequently received threats to himself and his family, as did his wife and widowed daughter-in-law.Gabriel Sterling, a top election official in Georgia, also testified today. He had publicly disputed Trump's false claims of election fraud in the 2020 election. Weeks after the election, Sterling warned the public that unless Trump stopped making false claims, “someone is going to get killed.” Trump dismissed Sterling's warning in a tweet, reiterating — again, without evidence — that “thousands of votes” in Georgia were fraudulent. Shaye Moss, an election worker in Georgia was the last to testify. After Giuliani likened Moss, a Black woman, to a low-level drug dealer, she and her mother were subject to a wave of online threats and harassment — including death threats, some racist in nature. Shaye's mother's house was invaded by election deniers. She and her mother continue to live in fear. Moss's testimony was a powerful illustration of what Trump has wrought: Regular Americans doing public service jobs being subject to threats and intimidation from Trump followers. Today's hearings also added to the list of traitors in the Republican Party, willing to break their oaths of office. They include Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin. It was revealed today that an aide to Johnson wrote to a Pence aide that Johnson wanted to hand-deliver to Pence a slate of fake electors from Wisconsin. Pence's aide responded: “Do not give that to him. Today's testimony also added evidence of the traitorous behavior of Representative Andy Biggs, Republican of Arizona. Bowers testified that Biggs called him on the morning of Jan. 6 and asked him to support the effort to overturn the election. Bowers says he told Biggs he would not.2. The committee made much of the fact that its witnesses are Republicans who wanted Trump to win. Raffensperger, for example, described himself today as a conservative Republican who wanted Trump to win in 2020. He said he had to “follow the law and follow the Constitution.”Clearly, one of the purposes of the committee hearings is to fortify those remaining Republican officials and lawmakers around the country who continue to honor their oaths of office. The committee's strategy underscores the stark reality that, no matter how much Democrats revile Trump, it is Republicans who will ultimately decide his fate — and whether Trump remains a force in American politics.3. A third revelation today is that the attempted coup continues — to this day. I was struck by the fact that even this morning, before the committee hearing began, Trump issued a statement claiming that Bowers had told him after the the 2020 election that the election in Arizona was rigged. Bowers denied under oath that he had said this to Trump. Clearly, Trump wants the entire committee hearings to be seen as his word versus the committee's. If he decides to run for office (which seems increasingly likely), this will be his strategy. This is a public episode.

A poll conducted by ABC News in January found that only 20% of Americans feel confident in our country's election systems.  And that skepticism exists for those who identify with both parties.  We look to Georgia, one of the highly contested states in 2020 to see how skepticism is playing a part in who's running, and efforts to tighten voting laws and restrictions. Gabriel Sterling, Chief Operating Officer and Interim Deputy Secretary in the Office of the Georgia Secretary of State joins us to discuss the road ahead to the midterm elections.

On the occasion of the visit of Gabriel Sterling, elections manager for the U.S. state of Georgia, to the Graduate Institute during the 2021 Geneva Democracy Week, AHCD Executive Director Christine Lutringer invites him to share his thoughts about Swiss democracy from an American perspective.

Gabe Sterling is a Damn Good Dawg. Some folks in the UGA diaspora shy away from that appellation, but in this case it is the truth. He represents The University of Georgia and The Pillars of The Arch as well as nearly anybody in the public eye – and certainly better than some of the elected officials who claim to be part of Dawg Nation.  Of course he's much more than that – Young Republican Extraordinaire, Political Consultant in his own right, former elected official, candidate for office, and spokesperson for Georgia's Secretary of State in a maelstrom created by the President of the party he's worked most of his adult life to build and maintain in Georgia.  When that whole controversy was at it's height – when Gabe was telling President Donald Trump to “Cut it out before somebody gets injured or killed” a lot of people would ask Dave what he knew about Gabe:  “Gabe Sterling is the type of guy you make the banker when you play Monopoly – because unlike the vast majority of people you know – he's not going to cheat and slide money out of the till when you're not looking.” In other words, he's the type of umpire you want calling balls and strikes when everything is on the line." (The anti-Eric Gregg if you will?)  Most importantly, maybe, Gabe,  like your erstwhile co- host The Chairman has said “Go Dawgs!” on CNN. As the man says “it's the little things.” Gabe's Twitter: @GabrielSterling Follow All Our Damn Accounts!  Podcast Instagram Podcast Twitter Dave Instagram Dave Twitter Chris Twitter Chris Instagram  Show email: nowmorethaneverpod@gmail.com    

Gabriel Sterling was voting system implementation manager for his home state of Georgia during the heated aftermath of the 2020 election. President Trump and his supporters were claiming the election had been stolen, and were not accepting facts as provided by Sterling and other Republicans in the Georgia  administration. When a 20 year old employee and his family received death threats, an angry Sterling fronted the media and delivered this ad lib speech that went around the world.

[01:00] Targeting Police (8 minutes) This could be the deadliest year for police officers in the United States for nearly a half century. What is causing the surge in attacks against law enforcement? [09:45] Targeting America’s Mayor (20 minutes) Just 20 years ago, Rudy Giuliani led America through the 9/11 attacks. He was called America’s mayor. Now, because of his loyalty to President Donald Trump, Giuliani has become the target of Biden’s Department of Injustice. [31:00] Georgia Officials Want Arizona Recount Stopped (15 minutes) The audit of presidential ballots in Maricopa County, Arizona, is making politicians in swing states across America awfully nervous. Gabriel Sterling, a Georgia election official, is upset about Arizona’s hand recount. Is Sterling nervous about what a similar audit would turn up in Georgia? [45:15] Waxing Worse and Worse (13 minutes) The Bible says that world events will continue to worsen in the lead-up to the return of Jesus Christ. Despite all the upsetting and negative news in today’s world, there is hope! These worsening events are proof that Christ’s return is near.

The controversial new election law passed in Georgia has been derided by many, including Stacey Abrams and President Biden, and has inspired many high-profile businesses, like Major League Baseball, to relocate interests out of the state. But Gabriel Sterling, the chief financial and operations official in the office of the Georgia Secretary of State, is a defender of the law. Sterling, who was an outspoken critic of former President Trump’s bullying of state officials in the handling of the 2020 election, joins Michael Isikoff, Daniel Klaidman and Victoria Bassetti to talk about what the law does and doesn’t do, whether or not the 2020 election was free and fair, and about whether or not Georgia’s Election Integrity Act of 2021 was, at its core, a Republican party power-grab.GUEST:Gabriel Sterling (@GabrielSterling), COO/CFO, Georgia Secretary of StateHOSTS:Michael Isikoff (@Isikoff), Chief Investigative Correspondent, Yahoo NewsDaniel Klaidman (@dklaidman), Editor in Chief, Yahoo NewsVictoria Bassetti (@VBass), Fellow, Brennan Center for Justice (contributing co-host) RESOURCES:“Supreme Court to Hear Case on Carrying Guns in Public” by Adam Liptak, New York Times (Apr. 26, 2021)“Mr. President, your misinformation on Georgia’s voting law is dangerous” by Gabriel Sterling, Washington Post (Apr. 14, 2021)“Fulton County DA has grown frustrated with Georgia Secretary of State’s office cooperation in Trump probe, source says” by Sara Murray and Jason Morris, CNN (Apr. 24, 2021)“Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger Defends Controversial Election Law” by Sanya Mansoor, Time (Apr. 26, 2021)“What Georgia’s Voting Law Really Does” by Nick Corasaniti and Reid J.

I know this sounds cliché.  Strive for perfection; accept excellence in all your projects.  You can always make that goal. But if you are trying to get to perfection, and you get so focused on that that you lose focus on everything else, your project's going to fail. WENDY GROUNDS:  Welcome to Manage This, the podcast for project managers by project managers.  I am Wendy Grounds.  Joining me by Skype today is Bill Yates, and we have a special appearance by Andy Crowe in the studio.  He's in town for a little while and just wanted to be part of the podcast today.  So we're excited to have him with us. And then we have our guest, Gabriel Sterling.  Gabriel Sterling is a politician and elections official for the state of Georgia.  He was the Chief Operating Officer in the office of Georgia's Secretary of State, and in 2019 he took on the role of project manager and has worked as an independent contractor for the state of Georgia when they were implementing their new voting system.  And he had the title of Voting System Implementation Manager and worked to roll out the use of the new voting machines purchased from Dominion Voting Systems for the 2020 Georgia State Elections.  He was put in a very public, high-pressure situation which became a point of national interest as the elections continued.  And we want to hear his perspective.  Gabriel, welcome to Manage This.  Thank you for joining us, and we're excited to hear your story today. GABRIEL STERLING:  Well, thanks for having me. How Gabriel Got the Job WENDY GROUNDS:  Project management stretches across all industries.  There's so many different types of project managers that we've talked to on this podcast.  And you really stepped in the role of the Voting System Implementation Manager for the state of Georgia during our recent elections.  I want to know what prompted you to volunteer for this job. What made you take on this challenge? GABRIEL STERLING:  The word “volunteer” is very loosely used at that point by you there, Wendy.  Because what happened, when I came to the office, I was the Chief Operating Officer.  And I have experience on that.  I've stood up accounting departments, built out warehouses, put together manufacturing facilities.  So there's various levels.  And one of my favorite things to ever do in a million years is to do a facility walk with somebody who knows how those systems work.  That's where you can really get into the weeds of understanding how things happen. And I used to be a consultant, and one of the great things for any consultant is you look at everything with fresh eyes, and you look like a genius for the first three days you're there because everybody else is used to seeing things the way they always have been.  But what happened in this particular case is I had been on a City Council in Sandy Springs, which is a city just north of Atlanta.  And we did some large projects, and I've been around a lot of bidding situations.

Dr. Swint sits down with Gabriel Sterling, Chief Operating Officer of the GA Secretary of State's Office. The two discuss the voting controversies of the last two years in Georgia, involving President Trump, gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, and Governor Brian Kemp. No sacred cows!

Protesters backing President Donald Trump massed outside statehouses from Georgia to New Mexico, leading some officials to evacuate while cheers rang out at several demonstrations as a pro-Trump mob stormed the U.S. Capitol.Hundreds of people gathered in state capitals nationwide to oppose President-elect Joe Biden's win, waving signs saying "Stop the steal" and "Four more years." Most of them didn't wear masks amid the coronavirus pandemic, and some carried guns in places like Oklahoma, Georgia, Arizona and Washington state.There were some scuffles in states like Ohio and California, with some instances of journalists or counterprotesters being pepper-sprayed or punched, but most demonstrations were peaceful — some of them quite small — and only a few arrests were reported.New Mexico police evacuated staff as a precaution from a Statehouse building that includes the governor's office and the secretary of state's office, shortly after hundreds of flag-waving supporters arrived in a vehicle caravan and on horseback.Demonstrators sang "God Bless America," honked horns and wrongly announced on a megaphone that Trump was the rightful election winner — though Biden won the vote in New Mexico by a margin of roughly 11%."It's the first time in the history of the United States that the peaceful transfer of power has been slowed by an act of violence,¨ Democratic House Speaker Brian Egolf said. "It is a shameful moment, and I hope that the Congress can recover soon."Violent protests in Washington, D.C., came as Congress tried to affirm Biden's Electoral College victory. News that protesters had breached the U.S. Capitol set off cheers at pro-Trump protests in Minnesota and Arizona, where armed protesters marched at the Capitol in Phoenix and several men displayed a guillotine.Georgia's secretary of state and his staff evacuated their offices at the Capitol as about 100 protesters gathered outside, some armed with long guns.Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and his team decided to leave, according to Gabriel Sterling, a top official with Raffensperger's office."We saw stuff happening at the Georgia Capitol and said we should not be around here, we should not be a spark," Sterling told The Associated Press.Trump has focused much of his ire on Raffensperger in the weeks following his loss by about 12,000 votes.Republican Gov. Brian Kemp slammed the storming of the U.S. Capitol, calling it "a disgrace and quite honestly un-American." Kemp said he was extending an executive order from protests over the summer activating the National Guard in case they are needed to protect the state Capitol on Monday when the legislative session begins.In Washington state, protesters broke through a gate at the governor's mansion and dozens of people gathered on the lawn. The crowd, some of whom were armed, repeated baseless allegations of election fraud. The State Patrol said authorities were responding and that Gov. Jay Inslee "and his family are in a safe location."Earlier, dozens of people gathered at the state Capitol, demanding a recount of the U.S. presidential election and Washington's gubernatorial election, which Inslee, a Democrat, won by more than 500,000 votes. The Statehouse has been closed to the public for nearly a year due to the pandemic.In Utah, the staff of Gov. Spencer Cox was sent home as several hundred people gathered in Salt Lake City, Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson tweeted. Salt Lake Tribune photographer Rick Egan said he was pepper-sprayed by a demonstrator who taunted him for wearing a mask and shoved him as he was shooting video of the protest. It wasn't immediately clear if anyone was arrested.At least one person was arrested at the Oregon Capitol in Salem on suspicion of harassment and disorderly conduct as police in riot gear tried to get people — many of them armed — to leave.Video showed protesters and counterprotesters clashing and riot police moving in. But by midafternoon, only a few doz...

Wednesday the 6th will be Trump-driven shitshow in D.C. when Republicans in Congress will turn a mere formality with the Electoral College certification process into a clown show. Thanks to an initial “toe-in-the-water” by senator and 2024 hopeful Josh Hawley, support for the circus in the senate, the chamber supposedly for grown-ups, quickly ballooned to a dozen (now 13) Republican senators. The effort already had robust enthusiasm in the House. Nearly 70% of that chamber’s Republican caucus, including their rudderless “leader,” Kevin McCarthy will vote against certification.Trump’s effort to steal the election, which has unfolded almost entirely in plain sight and is being done using a classic GOP methodology of “gaslighting:” accusing the victim of the very crime being perpetrated against them by making his rallying cry “Stop the Steal.” The irony of their effort to commit election fraud at a massive scale via making erroneous claims of voter fraud seems entirely lost on President Trump and most of his Republican enablers. With about half of the Republican Party devolving into what Steve Schmidt has dubbed a pro-authoritarianism faction (after all, if Republicans got what they wanted, democracy would end in U.S., Trump would be installed as a leader or an authoritarian state, and one party rule would commence) the events of the past two months are new chapters in a crisis that has been playing out within the Republican Party for the past decade. I had come to think of the wart within the GOP as over since Donald Trump not only won the Republican primaries in 2015, but more importantly, became formally nominated by the Republican Party at their party’s nominating convention in the summer of 2016. Until that event, the party still had power to stop Trump’s candidacy, and given his “outsider” status and clear lack of the behavioral requisites to perform the job, legitimate rationales for doing so. Such a move, while being accepted by the country’s middle, would have been seen as provocative by the progressive base of the Democratic Party and would have provoked a mass implosion within the Republican base. That would have surely written off the GOP’s chances of reclaiming the White House in 2016- a situation that too many elites found untenable after 8 years under Obama. Ultimately, this is what led the party to accept Trump as their standard bearer, even though many of them had devoted the months previous to arguing with their peers that nominating Trump would not only destroy the Republican Party, but likely the very country itself. Once Trump won the general election though, and became transactionally useful to Republicans the fight for the soul of the Republican Party felt over. Trump had clear control over Republican voters and because elected Republicans in Congress share his constituencies, four years of obedience ensued, leading to the least disciplined presidency in the country’s history that has already locked in “worst president” before the COVID19 crisis rolled in to allow Trump to leave his competitors so far in the rearview they can’t be seen anymore. MAGA became the modern version of the Republican Party (the 2020 Republican national convention was a great demonstration of what this means, but it can be summed up in one word: Trump) and current members of the party had just a few options to avail themselves to: conform proudly, acquiesce silently, or flee the party. Despite perceptions, the great majority of current Republicans, at least as of the onset of COVID19 were quite pleased with MAGA Republicanism, even the intentional cruelty, a fact that the other half of America, at some point, will have to allow themselves to confront. Yet, here we are, once again looking at a Republican Party being forced into a choice by Donald Trump: support authoritarianism one-party rule under Donald Trump or continued democracy. So far, because of Mitch McConnell and several other Republicans like senator Pat Toomey and Tom Cotton who remember what being a small c conservative is supposed to mean (it doesn’t involve acty of radicalism like sedition!) and like Brad Raffensperger, the Republican Secretary of State in Georgia, the anti-authoritarians within the Republican Party are maintaining the upper hand. McConnell’s anti-authoritarian faction are set to stand with senate Democrats on behalf of democracy and the rule of law on Wednesday. It’s not hyperbolic to note that the fate of 243 years of democracy hangs on McConnell’s ability to deliver their votes. Fortunately, because we’re still seeing additions to McConnell’s faction, and pro-democracy activism from Dick Cheney, this suggests the votes will be there on Wednesday. This is thanks, in no small part to to the shiny example that Raffensperger is setting for his fellow Republicans. By standing stalwartly against Trump’s illegal power grab, even in the face of extreme pressure, Secretary Raffensperger has single-handedly done more to subvert Trump’s anti-democratic coup than anyone else. Because keep in mind, Trump alludes to having made similar calls to the one Raffensperger shared with the public. Yet, we have learned of only the one. The President has cooked up a bit of political theater for the streets of D.C. to correspond with the drama inside the Capitol building. He means to stage a show of support for the country’s “rightful” king. Trump has demonstrated time and again a total lack of regard for the public’s safety, as the illegal clearing of Lafayette Square Park showed. He’s hoping to lure to D.C. clashing factions: his “team” of racists, “Proud Boys” neo-nazis, and other “deplorables” against “antifa” protesters. Whether MAGA world actually believes, or not, the totally fabricated story Trump and his team tells to convince people that Joe Biden didn’t really win the 2020 election by 7 million votes and robust margins in eight swing states (the most narrow were WI, GA, and AZ but all three of those have been recounted multiple times and thus verified extensively thanks to Trump’s efforts) is moot. They will never admit one way or the other. So long as they pretend to believe it, they can continue to wield it like a weapon and try to drag American democracy down with them. So what can be done? Having both the truth and the law on your side is not inconsequential. What people can control is the truth. The true timeline, narrative, and facts of the election leaves zero room for Trump’s thesis to be true: and at some point, the truth and the law are coming for MAGA world and Trump’s tenure as president. As Georgia election official Gabriel Sterling explained in his latest news conference, truth is immutable. Trump’s fantasy world and the real one are on an inevitable collision course. There is a firm date, time, and location for this crash: January 20th, 2021 at high noon. Once the clock runs down to that moment, Trump world’s evasions will no longer work and as Brett Baier challenged senator Hawley last night in an interview on Fox News, Trump voters that are being led-on about the prospects of a Trump second term are going to get a harsh dose of reality. The question then becomes, what will happen then? Given last week’s podcast looking at lethal mass partisanship, the willingness of partisans to tolerate, even crave, physical punishment for the opposition party’s leaders and or even voters, it seems reasonable to worry about, and be wary of, the potential for political violence this month. Far worse than the fact that Donald Trump behaves irresponsibly with his rhetoric and seems incapable of appreciating the power of the presidency’s “bully pulpit” to incite violence, is the fact that he does get it. That he understands this power just fine. Indeed, watching Trump’s actions over the 5 years of his presidential experience, it’s not unfair to say that at times, Trump has intentionally tried to provoke violence- knowing full well what he was doing and frankly, enjoying the hell out of it. But what Trump has artfully arranged in D.C. goes far beyond treatment of counter-protestors at rallies, or the treatment of arrestees by police. What Trump appears to have been up to over the past two weeks is an effort to convince the public that the election was literally stolen from him and that people should come to D.C. on Wednesday, January 6th to “Stop the Steal.” Certainly, the KellyAnne Conway’s of Trump World would shoot these allegations down, asserting that of course Trump means to only have peaceful protestors come to D.C. to protest the election and would discourage any violence in his name. But watch Trump talk about the protests and about people coming to D.C. and it’s clear- Trump vision for these protests is an angry mob, pitchforks waving, demanding their rightful ruler be reinstalled to his rightful throne. The question is, what types of people will answer his call, and what level of devotion will be they be willing to bring to the cause? With the potential for violence and unrest high, does that make it more, or less likely, the type of crowd forms that is conducive to violence? Certainly, the bulk of Republicans who have been made to be upset about Trump’s loss and have been lied to in order to convince them that the election is being stolen would want to come to D.C. to engage in peaceful protest and would have no interest in violence or mayhem.But it would be naive, after Charlottesville and the events of the past few years not to assume that neo-nazis, white supremacists, and other violent groups are currently descending on D.C., as are “antifa” protestors deploying to counteract them. Security in the city will be a mess and there is no way I’d suggest heading to D.C. on Wednesday if your interest is in peaceful assembly. So it begs a question- will people be willing to subject themselves to potential harm on behalf of Donald Trump? To understand who and why might be willing to do so, I invite physician and sociologist Dr. Jonathan Metzl onto the show. He made a huge splash last year with his book and it’s provocative title, Dying Of Whiteness: How the Politics of Racial Resentment is Killing America’s Heartland. As I told Jonathan, the second I saw this book I KNEW it would resonate with my own research and with the political science literature on polarization and hyperpartisnahip generally. I’ve been “dying” to talk to him about his research for a long time, especially given that the COVID crisis came along and at a mass scale, “horribly vindicated” his thesis. We have a great chat about his work, talk about whether Trump’s base might be willing to “die for Trump” Wednesday, and bemoan and worry over our current collapsing democracy while musing over possible ways to save it.Given that today is the Georgia runoff, Dr. Metzl and I are hosting a live Zoom event tonight at 6pm (ETA) in honor of the release of the pod & in conjunction with tonight’s nerve racking election. The Zoom Q & A is open only to paid subscribers, who will receive an invitation email to the event later this afternoon. Happy Listening!!

President Trump and his allies have spent nearly a month promoting an alternate reality of rigged elections and stolen votes. Now, there's concern in Georgia that some of the president's supporters may sit out a crucial runoff election on January 5, which will determine the balance of power in the Senate, as Lisa Hagen with NPR member station WABE reported. Turnout isn't the only concern for some Republicans in the state. Election officials like Gabriel Sterling have been the target of death threats. Sterling spoke to NPR's Ari Shapiro. Trump's conspiratorial denials of his own defeat have been bolstered by allies from some relatively new media sources — including the right-wing network Newsmax. NPR media correspondent David Folkenflik reported on the network and its efforts to outfox Fox News. In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment that will help you make sense of what's going on in your community.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.

The United States Attorney General William Barr says the Justice Department has uncovered no evidence of any fraud that would change the outcome of the election. The Associated Press published an interview with Barr Tuesday covering the statement. Previously, the attorney general has stood by President Donald Trump's claims of widespread fraud in his loss to President-elect Joe Biden. The President-elect is sending a message to Americans, "Help is on the way." Biden formally introduced his new economic team in Wilmington, Delaware; however, he is already facing pushback. The Wall Street Journal editorial board criticized the team. The Trump campaign is responding to a plea from a top Georgia election official asking the President to, "stop inciting acts of violence." Gabriel Sterling, the Voting Systems Manager for the Georgia Secretary of State's office, condemned threats of physical violence and intimidation against election workers and officials Tuesday. The Trump Campaign responded saying in part, "no one should engage in threats or violence." The United States has hit a new record high for coronavirus hospitalization. There are currently close to 100,000 people in the hospital. Health care workers and residents of long-term care facilities will be first in line for any coronavirus vaccines. The vaccine advisers to the US Centers for Disease and Control Prevention voted to include both groups.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Wednesday on Political Rewind: Top elections officials charged with overseeing Georgia's voting system are offering a staunch rebuttal to unfounded accusation of voter fraud from President Donald Trump and his allies. In a news conference yesterday, voting system implementation manager Gabriel Sterling accused the President of fomenting violence against election workers. Will his emotional plea lead to a shift in attitude towards ongoing efforts to cast doubt on President-elect Joe Biden's victory? And with absentee balloting for the two U.S. Senate seats in the January 5 runoff election underway, our panel takes a look at how the candidates are framing their campaign messages. Our panelists included: Greg Bluestein, Politics Reporter, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution; Julie Smith, Mayor of Tifton; Dr. Alan Abramowitz — Professor of Political Science, Emory University; and Rene Alegria — President and CEO of Mundo Hispanico

Georgia election official Gabriel Sterling came unhinged in a press conference yesterday, President Trump could be going after Section 230, updates on key battleground states, audio of CNN leadership meetings was leaked, as promised, by Project Veritas and three new USPS whistleblowers came forth to describe irregularities that they observed.

Georgia finished its statewide audit and confirmed President-elect Joe Biden won the state by 12,284 votes over Pres. Trump. The audit found no evidence of widespread voter fraud or irregularities in the election despite the President’s baseless claims. Georgia’s voting system implementation manager Gabriel Sterling tells Anderson Cooper once the vote is certified, Pres. Trump can request a recount since he’s within 0.5% of Biden. Plus, at least 252,400 people have died from Covid-19 and nearly 80,000 people are currently hospitalized, the highest since the pandemic started. Pfizer and Moderna say their vaccines are highly effective and are waiting for the FDA to issue an emergency use authorization. Bill Gates, co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, joins AC360 to discuss the recent vaccine developments and what he thinks the next year looks like.

Pres. Trump fired the top Department of Homeland Security official, Chris Krebs, who has repeatedly rejected his baseless claims of widespread voter fraud. Krebs was the Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and has said there “is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.” Miles Taylor is a former DHS Chief of Staff in the Trump administration. He was hired on the same day as Krebs and worked closely with him. He tells Anderson Cooper “the President is very afraid to hear the truth and Chris Krebs knows more about the truth of the security of this election than anyone in the government.” Plus, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina admitted and defended his outreach to officials in Arizona, Nevada and Georgia, all states that Democratic President-elect Joe Biden won. Brad Raffensperger, the Georgia Secretary of State, accused Graham of asking him to “look hard and see how many ballots you could throw out” referring to absentee ballots that heavily favored Biden. The Senator denied the accusation calling it “ridiculous” and claims he was pushing Raffensperger to strengthen signature verification rules for mail-in ballots ahead of the Senate runoffs that will determine the next majority in the Senate. Gabriel Sterling, Georgia’s voting system implementation manager, was also on the call and corroborated Raffensperger’s claims. Sterling joins AC360 to discuss what he heard on the call.
