Georgia's Dirty Secrets – Will Kemp's Weasels Finally Get Busted?!

In this fiery episode of The Georgia Hour (broadcast from Studio C on Friday, October 17, 2020, on Voice of Rural America), host BKP delivers a no-holds-barred rant on Georgia's lingering 2020 election controversies, Republican infighting, and the high-stakes 2026 races, while wrapping up the week with calls to action for listeners. BKP bids a temporary farewell to Studio C (promising a return to Studio A on Monday). He kicks off by agreeing with a viewer's gripe about unchanged grocery prices despite claims of economic wins, then dives headfirst into the meat of Georgia politics.

Core Focus: The Unresolved 2020 "Stolen Election" Saga
BKP lambasts Georgia's GOP leadership for failing to address the alleged 2020 election theft after four years, calling out Governor Brian Kemp for glossing over it, Lt. Gov. Burt Jones (despite Trump's endorsement) for reluctantly admitting he'd have certified the results per the state constitution, and Senate Majority Leader Greg Dolezal ("Greg the Weasel") for his performative "super MAGA" posturing while heading a toothless committee grilling DA Fani Willis. He hails President Trump as the only figure with the "guts and courage" to outright declare the election stolen, referencing Trump's recent comments urging a deep dive into Fulton County's sealed ballots (a "treasure trove" exceeding the 11,780-vote margin). BKP questions putting an asterisk on 2020 and moving on, insisting it's a litmus test for candidates. He spotlights the AJC article on the 2026 Secretary of State race to replace Brad Raffensperger: challengers like Gabe Sterling (a 2020 defender), Vernon Jones (hints at "irregularities" without full commitment), Kelvin King, and Tim Fleming must clarify stances on decertifying Dominion machines, reverting to paper ballots, and avoiding lawsuits against county boards. BKP demands the next SOS outline a clear voting system plan—ideally hand-counted paper ballots—warning against electronic pitfalls like tabulators or e-poll books, and slams Raffensperger for blocking a PSC race paper-ballot test run.

Republican Hypocrisy and "Weasel" Exposés
BKP turns scorching on Dolezal, mocking his four-page MAGA-branded mailer as phony while revealing a damning photo of Dolezal posing at a party with Fulton County Commission Chair Rob Pitts—the very Democrat-led entity that's stonewalled ballot audits and ousted election integrity watchdogs like Julie Adams and Jason Frazier. "How in the hell can you send me a MAGA mailers and take this picture?" BKP thunders, dubbing Dolezal a "friggin' weasel" unfit for Lt. Gov. He also rips into ex-GOP operative Dennis Futch (Colquitt County GOP chair and state rural voter task force head), exposing vulgar text threats against Sheriff Rod Howell, County Attorney Lester Castillo, and possibly State Sen. Sam Watson over blocking a local assembly. "You're dead in the effing water... Just try me." BKP urges the Georgia GOP to condemn and oust Futch immediately, warning of media fallout, and contrasts his "Christian moral father/grandfather" Facebook facade with the ugliness. A lighter (if sarcastic) aside: a weepy "Poor little Debbie Dooshi" with her "Georgians suffering" sign on street corners since "the frost" (a jab at emotional politicking).

Budget Bloat, Taxes, and "No Cuts" Cowardice
Shifting to fiscal fury, BKP demands candidates address Georgia's $10B budget explosion in four years and $14.6B reserves without "cuts"—politicians dodge the word, opting for senior property tax relief that merely shifts burdens. He cheers federal DOGE-style job cuts (10,000 positions) but calls out state bloat, proposing total tax exemptions at 65: "You worked your ass off... no tax" on cars, shoes, or anything. Citing a Georgia Supreme Court chief justice's doubts on "fees" skirting tax caps (a 100+ year loophole), BKP blasts counties and school boards for unchecked spending amid 14.6% growth matching the state. He challenges gubernatorial hopefuls to curb the governor's office power and introduce anti-fee legislation, noting even Democrats/Indies (the "silent Tea Party") hate endless taxing disguised as "renewals."

PSC Race Urgency and Broader 2026 Warnings
With early voting underway (two weeks to Nov. 4), BKP warns Republicans own the all-GOP Public Service Commission (since 2003)—blame them for six Georgia Power rate hikes since 2023 ($43 residential bill spike). A $2.2M Georgia Conservation Voters ad blitz (digital, mail, raisedyourbill.com) targets incumbents Tim Echols and Fitz Johnson for utility coziness; BKP gripes 7/10 people who've met Echols dislike him and floats rumors of his door-knockers sporting Georgia Power-logoed red tees (seeks photo proof). Despite frustrations, he pushes straight-ticket GOP votes to secure a Republican Senate seat (ditch Jon Ossoff), protect the heartbeat bill, block gender-affirming care reversals, and fortify against Dem money floods. Rural turnout is key amid overlapping municipal races boosting Dems. He echoes Trump's one-day voting call, slamming Trump-photo mailers from non-supporters like Buddy Carter and Burt Jones—demanding clarity on same-day voting, no-excuse absentee bans, and mail-in curbs. Teases watching for 2026 data center tax abatements as a "big break" scam, and closes with a nod to "certified Georgia Republican Party outlaws," signing off at 8 AM Monday with thanks to Diane and "shrimps" (inside joke?). BKP begs tips on local scandals (schools, fees, taxes) via text/email, vowing to vet and air them.
