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.
