In this episode, Alex discusses the recent news that David Perdue, an ex-Republican senator, has announced that he will be running in Georgia’s 2022 gubernatorial election against Brian Kemp (Georgia’s current Republican governor). Stacey Abrams is also running, on the Democratic side. This election is turning out to be what the Atlanta Journal-Constitution called “‘A mess’: Kemp is under pressure from both sides in 2022 race.” Kemp, a one-time Trump ally, fell out of favor with the former president after not agreeing with Trump over massive fraud in the 2020 election. Alex worries that David Perdue may be willing to embrace Trump. After he lost to Jon Ossoff in a Senate runoff election back in January, Perdue has been willing to embrace claims of election irregularities and clearly may be more in favor within the Trump base.
Later, Alex shares some thoughts on the recent school shooting in Michigan and the timeline that led to that event. The prosecutors charged the parents in this case as well which is not common to do. Alex discusses how this may send an effective message to parents around the country.
