The Georgia Hour, episode 168: UNIFIES MAGA Miracles Will SHOCK You!

In this riveting BKP Politics episode on Voice of Rural America, BKP dives deep into Georgia's explosive 2026 races – from the cutthroat Secretary of State showdown pitting Gabriel Sterling, Tim Fleming, and Kelvin King against election integrity chaos, to Brad Raffensperger's defiant governor bid brushing off Trump-era baggage. Unpacks State Election Board dysfunction with Janelle King's insider jabs, Marjorie Taylor Greene's ominous "I'm not suicidal" Epstein files rant fueling MAGA splits, and a triumphant Warner Robins Republican Fish Fry drawing 415 unified patriots for handshakes with Senate hopefuls like Jonathan McColumn. Plus, PSC race warnings, Dem governor contenders, and nostalgic church bells – essential for Georgia MAGA warriors, election skeptics, rural conservatives, and anyone craving GOP unity to crush Ossoff and secure the mansion in 2026.

Church Bells Nostalgia and Viewer Shoutouts: Kicks off with heartfelt recaps of childhood church bells signaling suppertime or five minutes pre-Mass (universal across Catholic, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Baptist), tying into a Georgia viewer's text; BKP jokes about "put your cigarette out – it's time for church," crediting research whiz Diane while pondering who spots stories first.
Democrats' Governor Race Overhaul Tease: Spots emerging Dem contenders like progressive state Rep. Rhonda "Roman" (name garbled) carving a left-lane amid crowded field, plus ex-Republican Jeff Duncan flipping sides; mocks their "DEI hires" balancing act (Black woman, Black man, two white guys like George Hamilton tan-type), predicting full ticket soon – vows deeper Warner Robins fish fry candidate highlights.
State Election Board Drama: Power Plays and Subpoenas: Slams AJC's Mark Niesee's exposé on board's "power struggles and political agendas," detailing Supreme Court curb on new rules, infighting among Trump-praised GOP majority vs. chair (backed by lone Dem), and pushes for 2020 Fulton ballot subpoenas, no-excuse absentee end, touchscreen bans; praises Dr. Janice Johnston's courage but decries "dysfunctional" theater distracting from backlog fraud hearings.
Secretary of State Race Breakdown: Sterling, Fleming, King Under Fire: Dissects GOP contenders – Gabriel Sterling (subcontractor posing as SOS official in 2020, campaigns on "clean" Dominion system for suburban votes); Tim Fleming (Kemp ally, Burns/Coach Victor Anderson-endorsed, touts statewide listening tours on paper ballots but Kemp baggage raises trust flags); Kelvin King (nice guy with wife Janelle on election board, stumps on machine contract expirations but leaves gray areas – BKP demands Day 1 Dominion decertification oath from any winner).
King Family Conflicts and Media Optics: Questions Janelle King's (appointed by Burns) board role criticizing officials for "doing nothing" on voting fixes – does it boost or taint Calvin's bid? Notes her stumping everywhere with him, Raffensperger's ex-campaign team now on Kings, and ethics red flags if she won't resign; stresses need for full-throated MAGA-Trump loyalty over Kemp whispers, no Dem slips like high-profile SOS foe.
MTG's Epstein "Not Suicidal" Rant and MAGA Rift: Spotlights Greene's viral X post averring she's "not suicidal" and "one of the happiest healthiest people," urging probes into foreign powers silencing her Epstein/Mossad truths if harmed, amid White House threats over files bill; reveals her NYT interview blasting Trump aides ("You didn't elect me – FU!"), disillusion with party, de-MAGA-fying Georgia efforts (e.g., backing Josh McCown over David Cross in 14th), fury at no Senate/governor nod despite reelecting McCown.
Raffensperger's Bold Governor Leap: Conservative Cred or 2020 Baggage?: Confirms two-term SOS Brad Raffensperger's September 17 launch for governor, defying Trump 2020 "find votes" pressure and state party block resolution, leaning on 2022 Jody Hice win, "born conservative" record, kitchen-table econ, border/fentanyl focus (personal son loss), anti-Medicaid expansion; confident in MAGA primary voters craving "honest integrity" truth-tellers – BKP calls it hard pill but inevitable sans runoff.
Warner Robins Fish Fry Triumph: 415 Patriots Unite for 2026 Momentum: Recaps September 27 Central Georgia Republican Fish Fry revival led by Houston County GOP's Angela (post-2023 "disaster" boycott), drawing 415 from six+ counties for seamless unity – no cross words, open mics for all candidates/vendors/speakers; BKP's live podcast humbly MC'd, ensuring inclusivity amid past rifts (e.g., Voter GA bans).
Fish Fry MVPs and Candidate Lineup Shoutouts: Hails unsung heroes like Angela (stress-busting lead), Sharon (non-stop setup/front-table whiz), David (tech lifesaver for camera/audio/Internet), James (calm coordinator, Steak 'n Shake boss), Robert & wife (endless volunteers); star attendees included Senate candidates John Kennedy (Lt. Gov. run), Blake Tillery, Steve Gooch, Mike Collins, Buddy Carter, Reagan Box, Jonathan McColumn (hometown announcement); Kelvin King (solo SOS), state school supes Robert Woods/Dr. Randall Trammell, plus mayors/councils, Young Republicans, Turning Point – pure handshakes, no discrimination.
GOP Leadership Snub Fuels Unity Plea: Blasts state chair Josh McKoon's 9:50 AM "illness" no-show (proxy call, no RNC/party reps like Jason Thompson/Amy Kremer/Sally Grubbs), despite sponsoring counties – missed unifying speech chance; BKP envisions statewide replication to oust Ossoff, hold mansion/majorities, crush PSC race – "nothing could stop us" if we clean house.
Make Elections Great Again Gear and Steak 'n Shake Rave: Flaunts Voter GA's "Make Elections Great Again" hat/shirt (Trump EO 14248), tying to 2020 truth; gushes Warner Robins Steak 'n Shake spotless service, RFK Jr.-inspired 100% grass-fed beef tallow fries/jar gift (superior taste), double steakburger/Oreo shake, creamsicle special – owner James (fish fry hero) gets eternal props for conservative support.
