About this Episode

Keisha Lance Bottoms was mayor of Atlanta when crime surged in 2020. Now she's running for governor of Georgia against Rick Jackson.

In this episode, I sit down again with Robert Rose, Dominick Davis, and Sean Griswold from Restoration News. We go through Bottoms' record as mayor: the Wendy's that became an occupied zone for 23 days, the city jail she promised to close, the overcrowded Fulton County Jail, and her decision to end cash bail and Atlanta's relationship with ICE. Then we turn to the Senate race, Jon Ossoff's promise to reopen rural hospitals, and his pledge not to run for president.

Georgia is going to be close. Look at their records before you vote.
