In this fiery episode of BKP with the Georgia Hour on VoiceofRuralAmerica.com, host BKP takes listeners on a no-holds-barred rollercoaster through Georgia’s brewing 2026 political battlefield, blending nostalgia, outrage, and unfiltered skepticism. Broadcasting from a one-man war room on October 30, 2025 (with a cheeky nod to a “2017 time warp”), BKP kicks off by reflecting on the chaotic 2018 governor’s race—featuring a crowded field of candidates like Brian Kemp, Hunter Hill, Mike Williams, Clay Tippins, and Casey Cagle—marveling at how innocent those days seem now, pre-COVID, pre-“stolen election.” He credits his own bold 2018 speech, where he fearlessly called out “multi-multi-millionaire” power brokers (earning him the Superman cape and a Rod Stewart “Ooh La La” shoutout from a fan), for awakening the state to the threats ahead. He declares humbly yet triumphantly, “We’re not gonna let it happen again. We’re awake.”
The core of the rant zeros in on the current slate of five governor hopefuls, which BKP dubs a “pretty good crap” of options—not an attack, but a wake-up call. He spotlights one frontrunner: a “very very very to the 10th power wealthy” candidate with family money and Donald Trump’s endorsement, urging grassroots warriors (from South Georgia’s gator swamps to Savannah’s Red Lip Girl crew) who’ve battled SB 202, Dominion machines, and endless lawsuits to “grab this and run with it.” Echoing election integrity crusaders like Joe Rossi and the “paper ballot please” brigade, BKP demands candidates align on Trump-style reforms: paper ballots only, same-day voting, precinct-level counting, and axing no-excuse absentee ballots. He’s heard crickets—or worse, half-hearted “favorites” for paper ballots—from the pack, including zero mentions of slashing Georgia’s ballooning $10 billion budget bloat over four years. “It’s time to be the conservatives Republicans are supposed to be,” he thunders, slamming the “behemoth bureaucracy” and unfulfilled promises like ending state income tax.
BKP doesn’t pull punches on the stunt-heavy campaign trail, mocking endless pig pickings, barbecues, and backslapping photo-ops. He turns his ire to Lt. Gov. Burt Jones’ governor bid, questioning the parade of sheriff endorsements as less about “tough on crime” or cartel crackdowns and more about backroom budget favors for counties. “Call your sheriff,” BKP challenges listeners. “Ask why they’re endorsing him.” No names dropped (yet), but the implication is clear: political quid pro quo over real reform. He teases dirtier revelations for later—“This one’s bad”—while vowing to keep the heat on through 2026, no matter the backlash from the GOP establishment mad at his Republican renegade vibe.
Pivoting to the federal government shutdown’s ripple effects, BKP dissects Gov. Brian Kemp’s stonewalling on dipping into Georgia’s $14.6 billion surplus to backstop SNAP (food stamps) for 1.3 million residents whose EBT cards could run dry. Citing AJC reports, he highlights Kemp’s reimbursement fears and Democratic pushes, but predicts finger-pointing: Will Trump get blamed on his homecoming, or will Republicans/Democrats own the pantry panic? BKP sees no silver lining for Tuesday’s PSC race but warns it’ll supercharge Democrats. Ultimately, he calls the surplus “political stunt money”—untouchable until election season, when it’ll fund flashy check-dropping ceremonies à la Kemp’s 2022 roadshow or a multi-stop budget-signing spectacle. “They’re not gonna let nothing happen to this $14.6 billion… until it becomes time to buy your votes,” he sneers, extending the skepticism to underfunded early learning, TSA, military, and National Guard programs. Why SNAP but not them? “Where does this end?”
Wrapping with a call to action for his MAGA faithful (shoutout to the upcoming Golden Corral part two on 12/16: “We’re not gonna get fooled again”), BKP takes a three-minute breather to gear up for a deep dive on Georgia elections. Raw, rambling, and relentlessly pro-Trump, this episode is BKP at his unapologetic best: a rural voice torching the elite games while rallying the awake to demand real accountability before the 2026 circus peaks.
