The Georgia Hour, episode 172: A Georgia Wake-Up Call: Warns of GOP House Flip Disaster

In this fiery episode of The Georgia Hour on Voice of Rural America, host BKP dives deep into the state's boiling political cauldron, defending his relentless coverage of election integrity while torching "grifters" and "political stunts" in the 2020 saga. He recounts his front-row seat to every bombshell—from Gabriel Sterling's daily podium updates (as a Dominion subcontractor posing as a state official) to Rudy Giuliani's hearings, Fani Willis's cash-washing scandals, and the endless Fulton County lawsuits over Republican board rejections, contempt orders, and Commissioner Bridget Thorne's ongoing legal mess. BKP insists nothing major will erupt from Georgia's state machinery (governor's office, Senate, House, AG, or election board) on 2020 fraud—save for potential DOJ fireworks via Ed Martin, who's probing Fani Willis's travel and absentee ballots. He urges listeners: Ditch the hype from vote-hungry candidates promising the moon for Secretary of State, Governor, or AG; follow Ed Martin on X for the real action, and tip him off if you've got evidence the feds might bite.

Shifting to the 2026 midterms, BKP sounds the alarm on AJC-fueled "dysfunction" at the State Election Board, spotlighting power plays by Kelvin King (whose wife Janelle may or may not resign if he wins SOS), Gabriel Sterling's rosy system sales pitches, and Tim Fleming's Blue Ribbon Panel campaigning. He mocks the board's infighting as a setup for Sterling's reform pitch. On the U.S. Senate race, BKP dissects Buddy Carter's big-money splash (Trump pics, MAGA warrior branding)—but calls BS on his un-endorsed Trump ties and low GOP engagement (only 0.2% of registered Republicans show at meetings). He ranks Mike Collins as the true MAGA pick but warns of sabotage risks from shady operative Brandon Phillips; shouts out Brig. Gen. Jonathan McColumn as a solid guy; and eyes Brian Kemp-backed Derek Dooley as the stealth threat slipping in via mailers to low-info voters. BKP's grocery-store challenge: Scan aisles for rally/meeting faces—you won't spot one, proving 94%+ of Rs are tuned out.

The rant peaks with a dire 2026 forecast: Democrats, restructured under paid chair Charlie Bailey, nearly flipped five House seats last cycle and need just nine for control—fueled by a 9-point suburban swing in SD-21 (Jason Dickerson's pricey $1M defense). BKP traces GOP erosion from Sue Everhart's era (flipping PSC, schools, constitutional offices by 2013) to today's shrinking majorities, blaming gerrymandered lines over voter growth. He drops a conspiracy bombshell: If Dems snag the governorship (e.g., Jason Esteves) and five seats, House Speaker Jon Burns (a "Democrat in waiting") could broker a deal—flip four more Rs (including himself) for committee control, no primaries, and a House takeover. Citing flips like ex-Dem Nathan Deal's GOP turn (then importing blue voters as governor), BKP slams RINOs like Jeff Duncan (ex-pine tree lapel "Pine Boy,") and urges unity beyond lanes. He invites "Greg the Weasel" (LG candidate) for a respectful interview (despite 35 ignored calls), roasts Debbie Dooley ("Do Shit") for her Kemp endorsement, countersuit threats, and anti-Trump rants (e.g., Scott Presler as "long-haired sissy boy"); plus GRA oustings tied to his "behind-the-curtain" probes.

Wrapping on a high (mostly): GRA/PAC under ethics probe (61 violations), First Liberty Bank collapse hitting seniors, Cozart's AG run vs. Brian Strickland's DA endorsements, cursive's "return" amid #38 education ranking, and festival shoutouts. BKP closes with Steak 'n Shake love, Bad Bunny shade, and a crisp weekend forecast—tune in Monday for more weasel-watching and I-told-you-sos. If you're in Georgia politics, this is your red-pill reality check: Wake up, grow the base, or watch the circle close on GOP control.
