MTG spills the tea, the TN "near miss" has a GA Dem hopeful & 411 on data centers

HOUR 1

Marjorie Taylor Greene's '60 Minutes' interview went over like a lead balloon at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, but she managed to spill the GOP tea for everyone else eager for a pot-stirring. Ron weaved through the juiciest bits, then hopped on a call with CBS News DC correspondent Stacy Lyn for Trump's reaction.

Meanwhile, the "near miss" in Tennessee's special House race last week has Georgia candidates like Lexy Doherty feeling vastly more hopeful about prospects for seat flips in 2026. She and Ron caught up to discuss Trump's maneuver to fling $12 billion in taxpayer dollars to salve the wounds inflicted on farmers after his tariff & trade policy war with China left many in financial dire straits.

HOUR 2

Ron argued against liberals taking the bait: complaining about fee-free National Park days isn't worth the energy. Patricia Murphy's AJC op/ed reviews the Trump election interference case and argues it shouldn't be forgotten.

Meanwhile, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger may have a better argument to undo Lt. Governor Burt Jones' sizable fundraising advantage, which has Ron wondering why the ATTORNEY general - Chris Carr - didn't think of it.

Colton Moore officially announced his bid to win MTG's 14th Congressional district.

Ron's next guest - Marisa Mecke from Atlanta NPR affiliate WABE - spotlights their series: "Server South"- answering Ron's many queries about Atlanta and Georgia's appeal for data center construction, and the impacts they'd have on power and water usage, among other things.
