Artists from Frank Sinatra to Barbara Streisand have recorded Webb's songs. Some of his hits include “Up, Up and Away,” “Wichita Lineman,” “MacArthur Park,” and “By The Time I Get to Phoenix.”&#13;
&#13;
Our conversation begins with a discussion of his childhood in rural Elk City, Oklahoma. He explains how his mother’s “iron will and sometimes anger” drove him to the piano.

He reveals the story behind  his celebrated classic "By The Time I Get To Phoenix," for which Campbell won two Grammy awards.

He explains how his mother’s “iron will and sometimes anger” drove him to the piano. Plus, Webb talks about the time he was out plowing a field when a voice on the radio captivated him. It belonged to Glen Campbell, who became a close collaborator of Webb’s.  He reveals the story behind  his celebrated classic "By The Time I Get To Phoenix," for which Campbell won two Grammy awards. Webb also talks about his hit "Wichita Lineman," another song that Campbell recorded. Once, at the Songwriters Hall of Fame, Billy Joel described “Wichita Lineman” as being “emblematic of an ordinary man having extraordinary thoughts.” Our conversation also covers the making of “MacArthur Park” and “Up, Up, And Away.”</itunes:summary><itunes:keywords>news,politics,georgia,gpb,georgia,public,broadcasting,atlanta,bill,nigut</itunes:keywords></item><item><title>Political Rewind: Revisiting former CNN President Tom Johnson on his lifelong career in journalism</title><description>Wednesday on Political Rewind: We're revisiting a conversation with former CNN President Tom Johnson.

He's served in many roles at the paper, including as White House correspondent, Rome bureau chief, restaurant critic and opinion writer. His new book, “The Beauty of Dusk,” is about how his life was transformed by a stroke that left him permanently blind in one eye. It is a piercing look at how he gained a new understanding of how to face our own traumas and afflictions.&#13;
&#13;
In struggling through the complications of his own loss, Bruni looked to inspiration from his late mother who also dealt with life-changing illness.&#13;
&#13;
"She decided that she was going to live as fully and as fearlessly with cancer as possible, because the alternative to that was to cheat herself out of whatever joys were left in the years that were left. That's a much more extreme situation than the one I encountered, but that example of choosing to be as resilient as possible of flexing your strength rather than contemplating your weakness, stretching to the limit of your remaining abilities rather than curtailing everything in your life, that example, that model was so important to me," Bruni said.&#13;

It’s been more than 150 years since Confederate general Robert E. Lee surrendered to Gen. Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox, Va., effectively ending the Civil War. But that conflict refuses to rest easily in history. To this day, some argue why the war was fought, while a larger battle rages over how the nation should honor those who led a rebellion against their own country.&#13;
&#13;
As a young boy, West Point professor of history Ty Seidule was taught stories about the glorious lost cause of the South. His childhood hero was Robert E. Lee. During a childhood spent in Alexandria, Va., and Walton County, Ga., Seidule writes, he lived in a bubble, unaware of the dark history of the horrific treatment of Black communities.&#13;
&#13;
He tells the riveting story of his coming to terms with U.S. history in a new book, Robert E. Lee and Me: A Southerner's Reckoning with the Myth of the Lost Cause.&#13;

DuBois." It is a big-hearted epic leading us through the generational history of an African American family with deep roots in Georgia. Jeffers, a National Book Award-nominated poet, tells the story through rich characters and their family ties; from Creek Indian ancestors, through the wrenching years of slavery and to their eventual emergence as members of the Black professional class.&#13;
&#13;
Influential Black intellectual W.E.B. DuBois is a constant presence throughout the novel. Jeffers said she wanted DuBois' love of Southern Black communities to be the glue binding the threads of her story together. &#13;
&#13;
"I wanted that love to be the spine of the novel," Jeffers said, "So that when we move through different, very difficult moments — historical moments — you would always know that we will return to that love."&#13;
&#13;
It is a story filled with joy and sorrow, with Georgia at its center. The novel's vivid characters reflect on their ties to the South, with one character noting it is hard to believe one can ache for a place when it hurt you so badly.&#13;
&#13;
"I cried when I wrote those words, because I do ache for the South," Jeffers said. "There's a feeling that those of us who grew up in the South have, and we do ache for that place."&#13;

"Less than 25% of registered voters in Atlanta voted in early November, and now you know you're seeing less than half that," Emory University professor Dr. Bernard Fraga said. "So I think the question is whether you're going to see a surge of turnout again in some of these swing areas."&#13;

Travis McMichael, Gregory McMichael and William "Roddie" Bryan were found guilty of murder charges on Wednesday.&#13;
&#13;
In February 2020, the three men chased Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man, in pickup trucks as he jogged in a Coastal Georgia neighborhood. Travis McMichael shot and killed Arbery during the chase. Bryan filmed the killing on his cellphone.&#13;
&#13;
Travis, the shooter, was found guilty on all nine counts. His father, Greg McMichael, was convicted on eight of the nine. Bryan was convicted on six counts. &#13;
&#13;
However, questions linger. This trial may never have happened, were it not for the shocking video that exposed the shooting and the failure of law enforcement to initially hold anyone accountable. Outside the courtroom following the verdict, the Rev. Al Sharpton told a crowd much work was left to be done. So what should we make of the outcome of the trial?&#13;
&#13;
Emory University professor Dr. Andra Gillespie said more consideration is needed of subtle examples of racism in society.&#13;
&#13;
"My concern in the grand scheme of things is when can we develop a consensus that racism manifests itself in ways that is not as obvious as a bunch of guys hunting a Black man as he's walking down the street," she said. "That's when I know that our society has made progress, and that's the thing that I'm still hopeful we can get there.&#13;

Attention is on the jury as it prepares to deliberate on the evidence, but it was one defense lawyer's disparaging description of Arbery's appearance that sparked outrage from his family and many observers.&#13;
&#13;
Emory political science professor Dr. Andra Gillespie said the description of Arbery ties into a larger theme seen throughout the trial.&#13;
&#13;
"It reinforces this idea that Ahmaud Arbery stood out because people were uncomfortable with the fact that he was a Black man running through this neighborhood," Gillespie said. "And that is the reason why he was targeted in this case in the way that other people aren't. And that's not Arbery's problem. That is the defendant's problem in this particular case. It is our problem as a society that we should be able to allow Black people to go take a jog through a white neighborhood without having to worry about their lives being endangered."&#13;

Meanwhile, the new Republican-drawn Georgia congressional map sets up a battle between Democratic incumbent U.S. Reps. Carolyn Bordeaux and Lucy McBath. With little chance to win in the newly drawn 6th District, McBath announced she is planning to run for Bordeaux’s 7th District congressional seat.&#13;

Both trials have highlighted deep racial and partisan fault lines.&#13;
&#13;
Morehouse political science professor Dr. Adrienne Jones said race provides a crucial context for understanding the trials.&#13;
&#13;
"We are living in two different worlds, right?" Jones said. "The Black community in the United States is experiencing the police and the vigilante system differently than the majority of people here in the United States. It's historical, in the South in particular."&#13;
&#13;
The trials also sparked conversation on gun laws in the United States. Adding to the conversation, an accidentally discharged gun led to panic at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport this weekend. Officials from the Transportation Security Administration said more guns have been confiscated at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport than at any other airport in the country so far this year.&#13;

The Republican-controlled legislature is redrawing the boundaries of state and congressional legislatorial seats as part of a decennial process mandated by law.&#13;
&#13;
Among the changes, Republican lawmakers look likely to deny U.S. Rep. Lucy McBath reelection in the 6th District.&#13;
&#13;
Patricia Murphy, politics columnist for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, said proposed changes to the 6th District would create a marked shift in its political makeup. Parts of Gwinnett County would be ceded and replaced by Republican-leaning communities in neighboring Forsyth, Cherokee and Dawson counties.&#13;
&#13;
"It's going from an area that voted for Joe Biden by 12 points, to one that voted for Donald Trump by 15 points," Murphy said. "So just a huge partisan swing."&#13;
&#13;
Meanwhile, the effort to create an independent city of Buckhead takes another step forward as state Sen. Brandon Beach filed legislation that, if passed, would give Buckhead residents the right to decide the issue in next November’s election.&#13;

&#13;
William Cope Moyers is the son of journalist and presidential advisor Bill Moyers, and has memories from childhood of Air Force One and the White House. In the early '90s, Moyers followed his father’s path into a promising career at CNN in Atlanta.&#13;
&#13;
However, his life began to spiral out of control thanks to a substance addiction to alcohol, crack cocaine and more. In recounting his struggles, Moyer says he hit rock bottom in downtown Atlanta 25 years ago.&#13;
&#13;
But Moyers has sought to help others struggling with addiction by telling the story of his road to recovery over the decades. His candid discussion of substance abuse disorder spurred frank dialogue on the stigmatized topic of addiction.&#13;
&#13;
Addiction and recovery has been changed by the pandemic. Changes to day-to-day life since the onset of COVID-19 are exacerbating America's addiction problems, Moyer's said.&#13;
&#13;
"As we know, too often, people die when they can't get help," Moyers said. "And in the midst of this pandemic, people have been isolated. People have been under stress."&#13;
&#13;
New data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released this week show a surge in deaths from overdoses in the past year — 100,000 Americans.&#13;
&#13;
In Georgia, more than 1,900 people died of drug-related causes in 2020, according to CDC data released in August. That is a 38.8% increase over data from the previous year.&#13;
&#13;
Panelist:&#13;

&#13;
Our panel discussed the possible consequences. Will Democratic U.S. Representative Lucy McBath find herself in a risky position as the boundaries of her 6th District are redrawn?&#13;
&#13;
Also, a controversial proposal to increase the size of the Gwinnett County Commission is off the table for now. However, the proposal's author, Republican state Sen. Clint Dixon, says it will be back when the regular session begins in January. Democrats claim Dixon wants to undermine the power of the currently all-Democratic commission by adding members.&#13;
&#13;
Plus, controversial "culture war" issues are set to take a prominent role in messaging surrounding the 2022 elections. Clark Atlanta professor Dr. Kurt Young said the use of these issues, such as the banning of books by celebrated authors like Toni Morrison, show how culture is used a political tool.&#13;
&#13;
"Culture is more than simply artistic expression: It's really a reflection of the very basic values that govern a society or within a society," Young said. "What we're seeing in Virginia, what we're seeing here in Georgia, is a reflection of these very deep-seated efforts to exercise power using cultural instruments."&#13;

Max Cleland. Cleland served in the army during the Vietnam War, before entering into the state General Assembly and then serving as the head of the Veterans Administration under President Jimmy Carter.&#13;
&#13;
Cleland would go on to serve as Georgia's secretary of state and then as a U.S. senator for two terms until 2003. The 79-year-old died last night from heart failure, according to reports.&#13;
&#13;
As a reporter, host Bill Nigut covered Cleland closely and said the representative had a remarkable zest for life.&#13;

"He wore a Mickey Mouse watch everywhere he went and he told people that he wore it because he wanted to remind everyone that he shouldn't take life too seriously," Nigut said. "So he was a remarkable public servant."&#13;
&#13;
In redistricting news, Republican legislative leaders are facing pushback from some GOP voters who say they’re being denied the right to elect candidates of their own choice as proposed redistricting maps surface. Some conservative voters south of Atlanta worry that a proposed change could endanger Republican state Rep. Phillip Singleton. His current Coweta district is poised to extend into South Fulton, a Democratic stronghold, in the new maps. &#13;
&#13;
University of Georgia political science professor Dr. Charles Bullock has extensively studied redistricting, and authored a book on the process. He believes that Republicans drawing the new lines are playing a long game.&#13;
&#13;
"I think what's driving the Republicans here is when you draw this map, you're not just drawing for 2022 or 2024," Bullock said. "You really are drawing a map you hope is going to work for your party for 10 years. And so you're anticipating what kind of changes may take place. That's hard to do."&#13;
&#13;
Meanwhile, new reporting from The New York Times shows Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis is preparing to pursue a special grand jury to determine if former President Donald Trump should face criminal charges for working to convince Georgia GOP officials to overturn the results of the presidential race.&#13;

Brian Kemp and Attorney General Chris Carr have expanded their legal battle against the Biden administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate. They filed a new lawsuit even as Georgia passed 25,000 deaths from COVID-19.&#13;
&#13;
Axios political reporter Emma Hurt pointed out that Kemp's resistance to the vaccine mandate falls in line with his strategy throughout the pandemic, and his opposition to Biden.&#13;
&#13;
"He says, 'This is your choice,'" she said. "'You and your doctor should decide. I think it's a good idea, but I'm not going to tell you what to do. I'm the government. You decide for yourself.' So it really fits in with that track record. And it also positions Kemp well. As you know, I think we've seen him do this repeatedly, going back to the good politics point, as kind of a foil on the national stage to Biden. We saw it with the voting law. And so it is it does make political sense as well beyond know the legal arguments that they are making."&#13;
&#13;
A federal appeals court has temporarily stayed the order calling for companies with more than 100 employees to require vaccines for their workers by early next year.&#13;
&#13;
Meanwhile, the state senate is moving quickly to pass new Georgia voting districts. The redistricting committee approved new senate districts on just the third day of the special session. Democrats say GOP legislators aren’t giving them or the public the time needed to weigh in on the new maps.&#13;

Where do voters stand?</title><description>Tuesday on Political Rewind: It is Election Day in Georgia, with important municipal races in communities across the state. Among the races, Savannah is picking a new state House representative, Marietta is voting on seats for its Board of Education and Atlanta residents are deciding on a new mayor. This year, some have taken on a more partisan edge than in past elections.&#13;
&#13;
"If we take those partisan items and bring them down to the municipal level, what you tend to do is to discourage people from participating on the municipal level, which then cornered the market for a political ideology to takeover municipal offices," Clark Atlanta University political science professor Tammy Greer said. &#13;

Meanwhile, voters in Virginia will elect a new governor today. Our panel looked at the issues propelling voters to the polls there and giving candidates in Georgia ammunition for their own 2022 campaigns. &#13;
&#13;
Also, the U.S. Supreme Court appears poised to allow opponents of the new Texas abortion law to proceed with cases challenging the legality of the statute. Why could that be good news for gun advocates here?&#13;

Gov. Geoff Duncan says party needs new path forward</title><description>Friday on Political Rewind: Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan is viewed as an outsider by many in his own party. The Republican from Alpharetta, Ga., has been at odds with Republican leaders over the rhetoric of former President Donald Trump. Duncan publicly spoke out against the conspiracy theories and lies spread by Trump and his allies in the Republican party following defeats in the 2020 elections.&#13;
&#13;
In his new book, GOP 2.0: How the 2020 Election Can Lead to a Better Way Forward for America's Conservative Party, Duncan recalls the journey he took to becoming a pariah within the GOP and urges for a new direction forward for the Republican Party.&#13;
&#13;
He argues the Republican party needs to blend conservative policy with empathy and a respectful tone in order to stay relevant in future elections. The harsh, acidic rhetoric of the Trump presidency needs to be left behind.&#13;
&#13;
"I don't disagree with a majority of the policies that Donald Trump stood for," Duncan said. "He just literally forgot to remind 350 million Americans about those policies. He just wanted to pick on people for the last six months of this campaign cycle."&#13;
&#13;
In addition to the book, Duncan also launched a website for his movement, which he promises will bring "a fresh and reasoned approach to creating Republican majorities." He says his goal is to build enough support among voters and party officials to gain influence in the 2024 election cycle. &#13;
&#13;
"We've got to convince tens of millions of folks that this is the direction, this is the path forward, for the party," he said. "And you know, we're going to take the next three years to do that."&#13;
&#13;
With appearances across the nation on his book tour and on cable news, some analysts say Duncan might be attempting to build a national brand that could help him to a presidential bid for office. On whether he would like to see his name considered for a future Republican presidential primary, Duncan said he be honored to be considered.&#13;
&#13;
"But that is so far from anything that me or my wife would be thinking about at this point," he said.&#13;

Arbery’s killing led to changes in Georgia law, the indictment of a long-serving district attorney and an effort to clean up and diversify the Glynn County Police Department. We looked at what to expect as the trial gets underway and how the case reverberated across the legal and political landscape in Georgia.&#13;

Georgia Recorder writer Stanley Dunlap said the trial will have consequences for how members of Georgia's Black communities view their relationship with the criminal justice system.&#13;

"Things may continue to play out how many people feel, and particularly in the Black community, that justice isn't there for them and the police aren't there to protect them," Dunlap said. "That's one of particular concern, depending on the outcome of the trial."&#13;

&#13;
Earlier in the week, state election investigators have told a Superior Court judge they found no evidence to back up claims by plaintiffs, who allege counterfeit ballots were counted in Fulton County last year.&#13;
&#13;
But on Wednesday, Henry County judge Judge Brian Amero dismissed the case. The judge wrote that the plaintiffs, including Garland Favorito of the group VoterGA, lacked standing and also failed to allege a particularized injury in their lawsuit that claimed fake ballots were counted in Fulton's totals.&#13;
&#13;
In other news, a candidate for mayor of Sandy Springs says he is being threatened and targeted with racist campaign messages. Dontaye Carter is the first Black candidate to run for the city's mayoral office. Five Black candidates for Sandy Springs' City Council say they have also been subjected to similar abuse.&#13;

Georgia's law is one of a number of legislation involving abortion access across the country that have become significant recently. A controversial law in Texas allows U.S. residents to sue anyone who might have helped facilitate an abortion after six weeks. And the Supreme Court will soon consider a Mississippi law drafted specifically to get the court to deliberate on the precedent set by the landmark Roe v. Wade decision.&#13;

Meanwhile, Gov. Brian Kemp issued the formal call for a special session of the General Assembly to redraw Georgia's political maps. On Nov. 3, lawmakers will gather in the stateCapitol to take part in the decennial redistricting process. Notably, Kemp is not asking the legislature to address other issues, including election law or an anti-crime agenda, despite pressure to do so from conservatives in the state Republican party.&#13;

On Sept. 22, 1906, a white mob began a four-day rampage through Black communities in Atlanta. Twenty-five Black residents were murdered, hundreds more were terrorized, and buildings and businesses were destroyed. The mob's anger was stoked by segregationist politicians and sensationalist reporting from the city's two major newspapers at the time, The Atlanta Constitution and The Atlanta Journal.&#13;
&#13;
Despite its lasting damage, the Atlanta Race Massacre was largely ignored by city officials and many historians. It was not until 2006 that the city publicly recognized the event. The massacre was added to the Georgia's social studies curriculum in 2007.&#13;
&#13;
We looked back at this underreported history with the The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Ernie Suggs, who recently wrote about the subject to mark its 115th anniversary. He said the violence that day was part of a racist system that held sway across the country in many forms.&#13;
&#13;
“These racial acts of violence are not simply isolated expressions of individual expressions of hatred and what have you," Suggs said. "In many cases, they are linked to systems of white supremacy that exist in the South, systems of white supremacy that link together many segments of the white community. And now you have Black people beginning to penetrate into these segments. The response to this Black progress is going to come from many directions.”&#13;
&#13;
In the news today, defiance of the ban on mask mandates on Georgia’s public university campuses is picking up steam. More than 50 faculty members at the University of Georgia said they will require students to wear masks in their classes. It is a move that could cost them their jobs.&#13;

On Sept. 22, 1906, a white mob began a four-day rampage through Black communities in Atlanta. Twenty-five Black residents were murdered, hundreds more were terrorized, and buildings and businesses were destroyed. The mob's anger was stoked by segregationist politicians and sensationalist reporting from the city's two major newspapers at the time, The Atlanta Constitution and The Atlanta Journal. Despite its lasting damage, the Atlanta Race Massacre was largely ignored by city officials and many historians. It was not until 2006 that the city publicly recognized the event. The massacre was added to the Georgia's social studies curriculum in 2007. We looked back at this underreported history with the The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Ernie Suggs, who recently wrote about the subject to mark its 115th anniversary. He said the violence that day was part of a racist system that held sway across the country in many forms. “These racial acts of violence are not simply isolated expressions of individual expressions of hatred and what have you," Suggs said. "In many cases, they are linked to systems of white supremacy that exist in the South, systems of white supremacy that link together many segments of the white community. And now you have Black people beginning to penetrate into these segments. The response to this Black progress is going to come from many directions.” In the news today, defiance of the ban on mask mandates on Georgia’s public university campuses is picking up steam. More than 50 faculty members at the University of Georgia said they will require students to wear masks in their classes. It is a move that could cost them their jobs.

Author Honorée Fanonne Jeffers, a National Book Award-nominated poet, tells the story through rich characters and their family ties; from Creek Indian ancestors, through the wrenching years of slavery and to their eventual emergence as members of the Black professional class.&#13;

Influential Black intellectual W.E.B. DuBois is present throughout the novel. Jeffers said she wanted Dubois' love of Southern Black communities to be the glue binding the threads of her story together. &#13;

"I wanted that love to be the spine of the novel," Jeffers said, "So that when we move through different, very difficult moments — historical moments — you would always know that we will return to that love."&#13;

It is a story filled with joy and sorrow, with Georgia at its center. The novel's vivid characters reflect on their ties to the South, with one character noting it is hard to believe one can ache for a place when it hurt you so badly.&#13;

The 11th Court of Appeals is scheduled next week to hold a hearing on Georgia's HB 481, which seeks to prevent abortion after six weeks of pregnancy.&#13;

"What happens in Texas won't stay in Texas," state Rep. Beth Moore (D-Peachtree Corners) said during the virtual press conference of lawmakers and reproductive rights advocates.&#13;

During a recent meeting of the state's public health board, Public Health Commissioner Dr. Kathleen Toomey praised the resolve of health care and public health workers in the face of abuse and ridicule.&#13;
&#13;
Del Rio said he is noticing low morale among health care workers over a year into the pandemic.&#13;
&#13;
"At the beginning of this pandemic, people were applauding and they were cheering for health care workers and bringing food to hospitals," he said. "Right now, there's a protest outside hospitals. There's anger against health care workers. And many people are leaving the health care field as a result of that. And I think we need to really realize that this could have tremendous consequences, not just for COVID, but for many other diseases."&#13;

&#13;
President Joe Biden announced the order last week. It would require federal employees and contractors to be fully vaccinated and create new OSHA guidelines requiring private companies with more than 100 workers to mandate vaccines for employees.&#13;
&#13;
The move is sparking a showdown on the political stage. Gov. Brian Kemp joined several other Republican governors in denouncing the order as an example of government overreach. They say they will sue to block the mandate. &#13;
&#13;
Former Atlanta Journal-Constitution columnist Jim Galloway said Biden might have done Republican governors a favor by giving them an issue to galvanize their voters.&#13;
&#13;
"Kemp is now free to express himself as vociferously as he wants to about the overreach of federal power," Galloway said. "But if this mandate works, [Kemp] can sit there and claim victory. So, he gets to have his cake and eat it, too."&#13;
&#13;
Meanwhile, faculty and students at more than a dozen Georgia public universities are planning a series of demonstrations protesting the lack of mask mandates on university system campuses.&#13;
&#13;
Plus, a new poll suggests that the new Texas abortion law is sparking a backlash among Democratic women voters. Access to health care and equitable treatment are among their top priorities in the 2022 election cycle.&#13;

Meanwhile, the state is seeing nearly 27,000 newly confirmed or suspected cases of the virus in the past four days alone.&#13;
&#13;
Should state leaders be taking more drastic action to stem the rising tide? DeKalb CEO Michael Thurmond said elected officials are making a blunder by filtering the pandemic through a political lens and staking their position there instead of where it really matters.&#13;
&#13;
"The position is: People are dying," Thurmond said. "So you have to start there. 'What can I do? What positions can I take that will mitigate and reduce the spread of the virus to save human life?'"&#13;
&#13;
Meanwhile, in the days since the U.S. Supreme Court refused to block a Texas law effectively banning abortion, the case has suddenly made a woman’s right to choose a top issue in 2022 political campaigns. We’ll look at how it’s playing out in Georgia.&#13;

"Roe v. Wade, in fact, has been effectively overturned, even if it hasn't," Dr. Amy Steigerwalt said. "It has in a practical sense, because the abortion providers are worried that they're going to be sued. And the court has said, 'We're not going to stop this law from being put into effect and stopping those lawsuits before they happen.'"&#13;

Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump formally endorsed two Georgia Republicans: Herschel Walker for the U.S. Senate and state Sen. Burt Jones for lieutenant governor. Both men are longtime allies of the president, and his endorsement of the pair should come as no surprise.&#13;

In Afghanistan, harrowing scenes as people attempt to board airplanes at the Kabul airport. Are the calamitous withdrawal from Afghanistan and the spiraling COVID numbers going to turn swing voters against Democrats in the 2022 midterms?&#13;
&#13;
President Donald Trump and his allies appear to be citing a poll of Georgia GOP voters in an effort to convince former Sen. David Perdue to run against Kemp in the 2022 gubernatorial race. Perdue has so far expressed no interest, according to reporting, but it is the latest evidence of pushback against the Georgia governor from Trump supporters in the Republican party.&#13;

&#13;
The state's demographic shifts mirror broad changes happening across the country. Nationwide, data revealed more Americans are moving into cities and suburbs while a decreasing number identified as white.&#13;
&#13;
In Georgia, the census data showed the percentages of Hispanic, Black and Asian-Americans Georgians grew by double digits. Georgians identifying as white stands at 50.1% of the state’s population, down from around 60% in the 2010 census report.&#13;
&#13;
The metro Atlanta area saw rapid changes over the past decade. In the 29 counties of the Atlanta Metropolitan Statistical Area, covering much of north Georgia, the percentage of residents identifying as white was around 44% in 2020, down from 51% in the 2010 census.&#13;
&#13;
"I think it's the type of trend that will continue to build on itself when communities are now known as being majority-minority and are attracting minority families for the schools, for the lower cost housing and are a diverse community that is successful," Atlanta Journal-Constitution columnist Patricia Murphy said.&#13;
&#13;
A lack of economic opportunity could be one of the major forces pushing Georgians out of rural areas. Former state Attorney General Sam Olens said the movement of people to urban areas has been happening for decades and could be counteracted by state and federal investment in rural infrastructure.&#13;
&#13;
"This isn't a brand-new phenomenon," Olens said. "The most promising news for rural Georgia would be the new emphasis on broadband. It is really hard to get the quality businesses they want and to keep the young people they want to retain without broadband."&#13;
&#13;
The demographic trends suggest a major shift in political power could be underway. During this fall's consequential redistricting process, lawmakers will redraw the lines of legislative districts in Georgia using the new census data.&#13;
&#13;
We asked our panel how they think the census report will shape state and national politics in the next decade.&#13;

Nationwide, data revealed more Americans are moving into cities and suburbs while a decreasing number identified as white. In Georgia, the census data showed the percentages of Hispanic, Black and Asian-Americans Georgians grew by double digits. Georgians identifying as white stands at 50.1% of the state’s population, down from around 60% in the 2010 census report.

Many residents expected a sense of normalcy to return, but now Georgia and the rest of the country is confronted with a new surge, with public health guidance that feels like yesterday’s news.&#13;
&#13;
Dean of Georgia State University's Public Health School Dr. Rodney Lyn said vaccinations against COVID-19 remain a clear way of protecting health and curbing the virus' spread. &#13;
&#13;
"The most effective strategy is to increase vaccination rates," he said. "We've known for many months that was the priority and that remains the priority."&#13;
&#13;
Instances of breakthrough infection of COVID-19, where vaccinated individuals become sick, are being reported. But public health officials, including Emory University professor of epidemiology Dr. Jodie Guest, say the data shows vaccines remain effective at keeping people from getting infected by COVID, and keep symptoms mild if they do get sick.&#13;
&#13;
"The breakthrough cases are not common, and so we want to make sure we understand the data," Guest said. "So, out of over 4 million fully vaccinated people in our state, 4,908 have had a breakthrough case since January of 2021. That is 0.12 percent."&#13;
&#13;
The news can seem scary and confusing. We assembled a panel of top public health experts to help demystify the state of the virus today.&#13;

Many residents expected a sense of normalcy to return, but now Georgia and the rest of the country is confronted with a new surge, with public health guidance that feels like yesterday’s news. Dean of Georgia State University's Public Health School Dr. Rodney Lyn said vaccinations against COVID-19 remain a clear way of protecting health and curbing the virus' spread. "The most effective strategy is to increase vaccination rates," he said. "We've known for many months that was the priority and that remains the priority." Instances of breakthrough infection of COVID-19, where vaccinated individuals become sick, are being reported. But public health officials, including Emory University professor of epidemiology Dr. Jodie Guest, say the data shows vaccines remain effective at keeping people from getting infected by COVID, and keep symptoms mild if they do get sick. "The breakthrough cases are not common, and so we want to make sure we understand the data," Guest said. "So, out of over 4 million fully vaccinated people in our state, 4,908 have had a breakthrough case since January of 2021. That is 0.12 percent." The news can seem scary and confusing. We assembled a panel of top public health experts to help demystify the state of the virus today.

&#13;
In author Clint Smith’s new book, How the Word Is Passed: A Reckoning With the History of Slavery Across America, he travels to locations across the country and talks to people on sites that memorialize or distort their link to the legacy of slavery. Throughout his tour of monuments and landmarks, he offers an intergenerational story of how slavery has been central in shaping our nation’s collective history, and the way we view our own identities.&#13;
&#13;
"The thing about symbols and iconography and names is that they're not just symbols," Smith said. "They are reflective of the stories that people tell, and those stories shape the narratives that communities carry. And those narratives shape public policy and public policy shapes the material conditions of people's lives."&#13;
&#13;
Smith takes us to Juneteenth celebrations in Galveston, Texas, the old Manhattan slave port of New York City and Confederate army graveyards in Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
Sometimes moving, other times deeply troubling, How The Word Is Passed is a critical look at the way America remembers its history and the role our memories play in shaping our present and our future.&#13;

In her new book, “Unwell Women: Misdiagnosis and Myth in a Man-Made World,” she tells the harrowing story of how medicine has failed women throughout history. She described sexist assumptions about the frailty of women’s bodies, and the ways women have been systemic ignored in matters of their own body. Misconceptions, ignorance and malpractice have been with us since the days of the ancient Greeks, and, alarmingly, are still evident in how a male-dominated medical establishment operates today.&#13;

Her visit is designed to encourage younger Georgians to become vaccinated against COVID-19. The Georgia Department of Public Health reports that only 6% of those between ages 12 and 15 have been fully vaccinated, even as the new school year approaches at the end of the summer break.&#13;
&#13;
Compared to other states, overall rates of immunization remain low in Georgia. Only 39% of residents are fully vaccinated, according to health department data. Low vaccination rates continue to be a concern as epidemiologists consider how best to contain the virus. &#13;
&#13;
"This is really a pandemic of unvaccinated people," journalist Keren Landmen said. "The more spread we have among unvaccinated people — it's not just that there are consequences for [the unvaccinated], but there are also consequences for the virus. It gets more fit and more able to evade the defenses that vaccinated people have."&#13;
&#13;
Overall, the pandemic’s grip on the state has loosened. New cases and hospitalizations have fallen to new lows, and deaths from the virus have become far more rare. As a result, Gov. Brian Kemp lifted the restrictions he had imposed more than a year ago.&#13;
&#13;
But because Georgia remains in the lower tier of states for putting shots in arms, especially in rural areas, how should public health officials respond to this latest stage of the pandemic? And what are best practices for the public as current rates of infection, and vaccination, remain low?&#13;

&#13;
In his new book, Freedom, Junger writes that throughout history, humans have always been drawn to two competing ideals: community and freedom. The author writes that the two have never coexisted easily. After all, we value individuality and self-reliance yet are dependent on community to meet our most basic material and emotional needs.&#13;
&#13;
His insights are relevant to how we view our own roles and responsibilities in modern society.&#13;
&#13;
“What you have is freedom from oppression, not freedom from obligation," Junger said. "Your society has the right to ask things from you.”&#13;
&#13;
Junger explores that tension in his book while recounting his travels, on foot and off-the-radar, along the railroad tracks crisscrossing the American countryside.</description><enclosure length="75803603" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://gpb-od.streamguys1.com/gpb/20210702122328-FULLSHOWSebastianJunger7.1.21.mp3?show=political_rewind&amp;srcid=google-podcasts"/><guid isPermaLink="false">d5788c00-db51-11eb-ae1a-a7fb7ee3cea0</guid><itunes:duration>00:52:38</itunes:duration><pubDate>Fri, 02 Jul 2021 12:23:28 -0400</pubDate><author>digital@gpb.org (GPB Digital)</author><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:subtitle>Friday on Political Rewind: As the July 4 holiday approaches, New York Times bestselling author Sebastian Junger joined us to reflect on the basic tenets of freedom in society.

Seeks Chancellor, Hannah-Jones Tenured</title><description>Thursday on Political Rewind: As the Peach State seeks a new permanent chancellor for its public universities and colleges, leaders of North Carolina's public university system find themselves embroiled in a national debate over race, journalism and academic freedom.&#13;
&#13;
The attention came after trustees of the University of North Carolina system initially denied tenure to journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones. Hannah-Jones is a Pulitzer prize-winning reporter widely known for her work on the New York Times' 1619 Project. The initiative, led by Hannah-Jones, sought to study the lasting legacy of slavery in U.S. society. On June 30, the university's trustees voted to give tenure to the reporter after mounting pressure to reconsider their decision.&#13;
&#13;
In Georgia, Sonny Perdue is seeking the top position over the state's system of public universities and colleges. The former Georgia governor and Agricultural Secretary under President Donald Trump told reporters he would bring "stability" during a period of "cultural revolution" to Georgia's public institutions of higher education. &#13;
&#13;
Perdue also said he would like to promote conservative values if chosen to be chancellor. Perdue's comments, and the debate over tenure for Hannah-Jones, is spurring debate about academic freedom over education curriculum.&#13;
&#13;
In related news, Perdue finds himself under scrutiny for potential ethics violations. Calls for an ethics investigation from leading Democratic senators could threaten Perdue's chances of gaining the chancellorship. The move comes following an investigation by the Washington Post. &#13;
&#13;
Also, reporting from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution shows Gov. Brian Kemp received an immense fundraising haul as he gears up for his reelection campaign. Is it enough to keep out a credible Republican primary challenge? &#13;

State Republicans have joined a chorus of conservatives voices demanding an end to the inclusion of so-called "critical race theory" in school curriculum, though few of its critics can provide a clear definition of what it is. &#13;
&#13;
At issue is how we discuss the atrocities committed through the history of our country. Conservatives say teaching about the lingering tendrils of systemic racism in U.S. society creates a distorted picture of American history.&#13;
&#13;
But racial violence, Jim Crow laws and other violent measures against marginalized populations did occur. So, what are the consequences of downplaying or ignoring our past?&#13;
&#13;
Stan Deaton, senior historian at the Georgia Historic Society, said part of the debate centers on how society understands its collective history.&#13;
&#13;
"For many people, particularly many white Americans, history is something that should celebrate past and should instill patriotism," Deaton said. "That it should be, quite frankly, a happy place; a place where you go and celebrate our American founders or what is unique about the American republic. Obviously, for a lot of Americans, history is not a happy place."&#13;
&#13;
Other countries have confronted their own dark histories in different ways. Germany teaches the horror of the Holocaust through expansive monuments and public works of art.

Compared to its recent iterations, the march was a small event. At the time, homosexuality was illegal under Georgia law and members of the LGTBQ community typically lived lives in the shadows. But on June 27, 1971, they congregated in Atlanta to publicly demand an end to persecution.&#13;

The years since have seen a slow but dramatic transformation in laws and societal understanding of the LGBTQ community in Georgia and across the country, though obstacles to true equality still remain.&#13;

But challengers have yet to materialize in several prominent contests, including in the race against Gov. Brian Kemp and race for the Senate seat held by the Rev. Raphael Warnock.&#13;
&#13;
Kemp is expected to face a primary challenge from a yet undeclared Republican before the general election. How likely is he to prevail against a challenge from within the Republican Party? And what of Stacey Abrams, his much-speculated Democratic opponent?&#13;
&#13;
Plus, is Herschel Walker preparing to comply with Donald Trump’s urging that he enter the race for Warnock’s senate seat?&#13;
&#13;
In Washington D.C., U.S. Sens. Jon Ossoff and Warnock joined fellow Democrats in condemning Senate Republicans for using the filibuster yesterday to block debate on a package of election reform measures they say are meant to counter restrictive voting laws passed in Georgia and other Republican-dominated states.&#13;

Last night's virtual meeting saw input from many young students' concerns about gerrymandering.&#13;
&#13;
Georgia Tech student Alex Ames told the committee that districts drawn to split up colleges and universities leave students with less of a say over important issues in their communities, such as public safety and development.&#13;
&#13;
“What does it teach our students when we draw their maps so that even when they do vote, their voter efficacy is stifled?" she said. "We're teaching young people to distrust and disengage in our democracy by gerrymandering them.”&#13;
&#13;
Many of the speakers, which included several elected representatives, urged redistricting leaders to draw political districts without regard to partisan gain.&#13;
&#13;
There will be 10 more similar hearings schedules across the state. The next hearing is scheduled for June 28 in Atlanta, with future hearings in Cummings, Dalton, Columbus, Brunswick and other cities.&#13;
&#13;
The chair of the Senate Redistricting Committee, Sen. John Kennedy (R-Macon), joined us today to discuss the process.&#13;
&#13;
In other news, the initial outcome of two special elections for the state House shows the ongoing partisan divide between metro Atlanta and rural Georgia.

Garland announced he would double the number of voter enfranchisement lawyers on staff in his department's Civil Rights Division. During his remarks on June 11, Garland noted that at least 14 states have passed new laws this year to make it harder to vote, including Georgia, Florida and Arizona. He said his staff will also look at post-election audits, such as those being proposed here.&#13;

&#13;
State Sens. Brandon Beach (R-Alpharetta) and Burt Jones (R-Jackson) and state GOP chair David Shafer participated in a walk-through of ballot inspection stations at the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix on June 8.

&#13;
Their visit came as yet another recount of votes in Fulton County awaits a final court ruling on whether it can move forward.&#13;

Meanwhile, after weeks of speculation that he was considering a run, Kasim Reed has now taken the first steps to join the race for mayor of Atlanta. Reed filed the paperwork necessary to begin raising campaign cash yesterday.&#13;
&#13;
Tonight, Reed is set to host a fundraising birthday party where he is likely to make official his bid for a third term. We asked our panel what his entry into the race means for the city and the state.&#13;

Also, the lawsuit challenging Major League Baseball’s decision to move the All-Star Game from Cobb County to Denver is scheduled to be heard in federal court today. The suit demands that MLB return the game to Truist Park and asks for damages of $1 billion.&#13;

GOP Convention Indicates About 2022; Critical Race Theory Controversy</title><description>Monday on Political Rewind: Gov. Brian Kemp received a raucous welcome at the GOP state convention over the weekend. He heard plenty of booing from Republican activists still angry he did not do more to support President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. The jeers were mixed with the cheers of those ready to support him for a second term in 2022.&#13;
&#13;
However, Kemp was not the only state official to receive a negative response for his stance on lies spread by Trump about last November's election. Convention-goers gave Attorney General Chris Carr a rough reception. They also voted to censure Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. Our panel looks at what all of the means for the direction of the Republican Party heading into important 2022 races.&#13;
&#13;
Additionally, new fuel for the fire was added to controversy over the teaching of critical race theory in Georgia classrooms continues, even as few seem able to explain exactly what the theory says.&#13;

O. Scott On The Movies That Taught Him About Our Democracy</title><description>Thursday on Political Rewind: As businesses across the country begin to reopen with the lifting of COVID-19 public health restrictions, many Americans are looking forward to returning to their local movie theaters.&#13;
&#13;
Going to the movies has long been one of America's favorite pastimes. 2018 saw 1.3 billion movie theater admissions in North America, according to the National Association of Theatre Owners. That was a 5.3% gain in admissions over the previous year.&#13;
&#13;
So it should be no surprise that film plays an influential role in animating our national mythology, and shaping our perceptions of what is fair, just and good.&#13;
&#13;
As New York Times chief film critic A.O. Scott writes in his recent piece, “What I Learned About Democracy From the Movies,” he received as much of his education about American life from what he saw on the big screen as he did from teachers and parents.&#13;
&#13;
But in the past several years, through the 2020 election and its tumultuous aftermath, Scott says he struggled to make sense of the chaos around him.&#13;
&#13;
So Scott turned to the movies and wrote about seven films he believes reveal something about our nation’s intrinsic ideals. The list includes "Thelma &amp; Louise," "Sullivan’s Travels," "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" and "A Face In The Crowd."&#13;
&#13;
Scott joined us to discuss those films, and what they tell us about the values ingrained in popular culture.&#13;

&#13;
President Joe Biden marked the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa massacre in Oklahoma yesterday. It has been a century since white Tulsans attacked Black residents of the Greenwood neighborhood in that city.&#13;
&#13;
The type of widespread, targeted violence seen in Tulsa in 1921 was neither unique to that year nor that city. Georgians do not have to look far to find similar events in our own histories. Atlanta, Forsyth County and Augusta were just some of the places that saw eruptions of violence against Black communities in the decades following the Civil War.&#13;
&#13;
A nationwide awareness of the events in Tulsa has reinvigorated a conversation on tackling longstanding inequity that reverberates from historic violence against Black communities.&#13;
&#13;
So what is being done to address those horrendous parts of our history — here in Georgia and across the country?&#13;
&#13;
In other news, a triggered alarm at a Fulton County warehouse holding election equipment is drawing the attention of the conspiracy-minded. But what is really going on?&#13;

&#13;
Ralston, a top leader of Republican lawmakers in the General Assembly, said he was interested in the role representing Georgia in the U.S. Congress, but had not made a decision yet.&#13;
&#13;
"Decision-making is a process, not an event," the Blue Ridge Republican told us. "And so we're kind of taking a look and seeing how it feels."&#13;
&#13;
Ralston has served in the state House of Representatives since 2002 and represents House District 7, which includes Fannin and Gilmer counties and a portion of Dawson County in north Georgia. He is the 73rd Speaker of the Georgia House, a position he has held since 2010.&#13;
&#13;
Ralston said he loves his current job working with state lawmakers, but said his concerns about the direction of the country were part of the reason he is interested in a Senate run. &#13;
&#13;
"The thought of making a difference and giving the majority back to the Republicans in the Senate would certainly have some appeal," he said.&#13;
&#13;
In other news, Gov. Brian Kemp is preparing an executive order to ban school districts from issuing mask mandates. With cases of the coronavirus dropping dramatically, Kemp told reporters he believes the time for mandates is over.&#13;
&#13;
Some question whether he has the legal authority to assert power over local schools, and his order may end up being challenged in court.&#13;

We discussed the possibilities with our panel. &#13;

Meanwhile, conservative leaders across Georgia are focusing their attention on a new issue: critical race theory in state curriculum. Gov.

But is this a problem in search of a solution? &#13;

Filmmakers Redefine Jimmy Carter's Presidency In New Documentary 'Carterland'</title><description>Friday on Political Rewind: It has become a commonplace cliche to say Jimmy Carter’s tenure as President of the United States was fraught with disappointment. Carter's term was colored by multiple crises, low approval numbers and a lost reelection bid. Pundits often says Carter made a far more significant mark on the world after leaving office than he was able to achieve in the White House.&#13;
&#13;
But as the years have passed, reassessments of the Jimmy Carter presidency are painting him in a different light. A new documentary by two Georgia-born filmmakers, brothers Will and Jim Pattiz make the case that Carter was a visionary who promoted policies far ahead of their time; on racial justice, world peace, sustainable energy and much more. Today, we spoke with with the pair about Carter and their recent film.&#13;
&#13;
The documentary debuted at the 2021 Atlanta Film Festival. The filmmakers say "Carterland" will be widely available soon.&#13;

T. Vivian Chronicles A Life 'In The Action'</title><description>Thursday on Political Rewind: In the midst of the pandemic that gripped the nation, two of the country’s greatest civil rights leaders died on the same day. One of them, Rep. John Lewis, was a man whose name was known around the world.&#13;
&#13;
The other was C.T. Vivian, whose courage and visionary leadership was only equaled by the humility he displayed by rarely seeking the spotlight. It is his story we’ll tell today.&#13;
&#13;
Vivian played a key role in most crucial moments in the Civil Rights movement. He was among those who risked death on the Freedom Rides, a strategist at Martin Luther King Jr.’s side in Birmingham, St. Augustine and other cities.   &#13;
&#13;
Now, there is a new memoir recounting C.T. Vivian’s life. We’ll talk to the co-author of “It’s In The Action: Memories Of A Nonviolent Warrior,” and to Vivian’s son Al, who has carried on the legacy of his father’s work.&#13;

Cheney Ousted, What Is Rep. Greene's Influence On Future GOP Leadership?</title><description>Wednesday on Political Rewind: In Congress, Republicans decided to remove Sen. Liz Cheney from a party leadership position today. New York’s Rep. Elise Stefanik could be promoted in Cheney’s place, but Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is asking for more time to find a replacement.&#13;
&#13;
What does Cheney's ousting tell us about Greene’s role and influence in the GOP and internal fractures within the party?&#13;
&#13;
In other news from the U.S. Capitol, the Senate discusses the so-called “For the People Act,” the House Democrat plan to establish federal rules on elections. The legislation would counteract state election laws such as SB 202 in Georgia.&#13;
&#13;
Meanwhile, a gas shortage is worrying Georgians across the state. Consumers are reporting high prices and long lines at gas stations. The shortage is a result of a hack of Georgia-based Colonial Pipeline that shut down a major artery of fuel on the East Coast.&#13;

In another signing action, Kemp signed the bill that overhauls the state’s pre-Civil War citizen’s arrest statute.

State and national GOP officials have been critical of companies like Coca-Cola and Delta Air Lines after corporate leaders issued stern rebukes of the state’s new election laws. A new poll from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution shows that a majority of Georgians agree business should stay out of politics.&#13;

Vaccine rates in the state continue to lag behind much of the nation. According to data from the Georgia Department of Public Health, around 25% of Georgians are fully vaccinated, while around 32% of the national population is fully vaccinated.&#13;

Biden appeared at a rally in Duluth with the Peach State’s pair of newly elected Democratic senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock. Gwinnett County saw a majority of its voters cast ballots for the three Democrats in the 2020 election.

The growth is not enough to give the state an additional seat in Congress. So, what do the new numbers mean for Georgia? In the next several months, the U.S. Census Bureau is set to release data for lawmakers to use in redistricting: the process of drawing new maps for elective offices. Georgia House Speaker Rep. David Ralston (R-Blue Ridge) told Political Rewind last week that redistricting will probably not begin until after October. Also: Former Georgia congressman Doug Collins announced he will sit out the 2022 election cycle, ending speculation he would seek the GOP nomination in the race for Sen. Rev. Raphael Warnock’s Senate seat or take on Gov. Brian Kemp in a GOP gubernatorial primary. Plus, GPB's Stephen Fowler breaks down his new analysis of demographic data from Georgia's November and January elections.

Washington, and the 4,978 Schools That Changed America.&#13;
&#13;
The books tells the story of the unique partnership between business executive Julius Rosenwald and educator and public intellectual Booker T. Washington. Together, the pair would help build enduring institutions of public education in Black communities across the South.&#13;
&#13;
Rosenwald grew up in a Jewish family and became the leader of one of the largest retailer in the world at the time, Sears, Roebuck &amp; Company. A friendship and partnership with Booker T. Washington led the pair to raise money and support for the building of almost 5,000 schools for African American children between 1917 and 1937.&#13;
&#13;
Of the original 4,978 Rosenwald Schools across fifteen southern and border states, only about 500 survive. While some have been repurposed and a handful remain active schools, many remain unrestored and at risk of collapse. To tell this story visually, Andrew Feiler drove more than twenty-five thousand miles, photographed 105 schools, and interviewed dozens of former students, teachers, preservationists, and community leaders in all fifteen of the program states.&#13;
&#13;
Feiler, a fifth-generation Georgian, tells the stories of some of the students who went to the schools, including John Lewis and Maya Angelou.</description><enclosure length="73366531" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://gpb-od.streamguys1.com/gpb/20210426115221-FULLSHOWWEB4.26.21.mp3?show=political_rewind&amp;srcid=google-podcasts"/><guid isPermaLink="false">62fc7bf0-a6a7-11eb-ab8c-255452af139f</guid><itunes:duration>00:50:56</itunes:duration><pubDate>Mon, 26 Apr 2021 11:52:21 -0400</pubDate><author>digital@gpb.org (GPB Digital)</author><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:subtitle>Monday on Political Rewind, a conversation with author and photographer Andrew Feiler about his new book, A Better Life for Their Children: Julius Rosenwald, Booker T.

But during his tenure, Ralston has also earned praise for his efforts to bat down bills opponents have sometimes called extreme and anti-democratic. As the 2021 session came to an end, he pointed with pride to the overhaul of the citizens arrest law and increasing funds for the state’s mental health budget. He also squashed efforts to expand Georgia gun laws and rejected an effort to punish Delta Air Lines for the company’s condemnation of the election law.&#13;

Kemp's Political Fortunes Face Choppy Waters As 2022 Election Looms</title><description>Monday on Political Rewind: Gov. Brian Kemp faces more criticism from former President Donald Trump. Trump blasted Georgia's governor again over the weekend. During a GOP donor event in Florida, Trump again accused Kemp of failing to root out unsubstantiated claims of election fraud.&#13;
&#13;
The criticism comes as Kemp manages fallout from Georgia's controversial new election law, which has brought national attention to the state. With a reelection campaign looming on the horizon, will Kemp’s aggressive push to defend the Republican-crafted changes be enough to return him to the good graces of his party’s base?&#13;
&#13;
Also: As we look ahead to the 2022 election, what role will the unfolding battle between GOP leaders and Georgia-based corporations play? Both state and national leaders in the GOP are grappling with sustained pushback from business leaders who criticize the changes in SB 202.&#13;
&#13;
Meanwhile, others in Georgia politics consider their futures. An aide to Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan says he is unlikely to seek a second-term next year. But former state Rep. Vernon Jones, now a Republican, is signaling a run for governor.&#13;

During the ceremony, Democratic House member Park Cannon, a representative from Atlanta, was arrested and led from the Capitol building in handcuffs after attempting to attend the signing.

The pandemic dramatically shifted many lives in our state. More than 16,000 Georgian died of coronavirus-related illness, while  around one million people were infected by COVID-19.&#13;
&#13;
But can we see the light at the end of the tunnel? Yesterday, eligibility for COVID-19 vaccine appointments were expanded to include a majority of Georgia adults. Residents 55 and older are now eligible for shots, as are adults with a wide range of serious illness.&#13;
&#13;
In rural Georgia, meanwhile, the demand for vaccine is more muted. In response, Gov. Brian Kemp says supplies of COVID vaccinations may be shifted to larger population centers to meet demand. Our panel looked at the effectiveness of the state’s vaccine rollout so far.&#13;
&#13;
The state's handling of COVID-19 vaccinations received criticism after the Center for Disease Control listed Georgia among the least effective states for getting shots into arms.&#13;
&#13;
Health journalist Keren Landman said the faulty rollout is the result of power public health infrastructure.&#13;
&#13;
"It's not bad people doing work badly; It is an underfunded system being underfunded," Landman said. "This is what happens when you do not fund an infrastructure for public health. I hope this will provoke Georgia and Georgians and to really prioritize funding a good public health program throughout the state in the future."&#13;
&#13;
And finally, our panel discussed the impact a year of social distancing and isolation has had on the mental health of children and adults.&#13;

&#13;
Kenny Leon is a Tony award-winning director of Broadway theater, filmmaker and a director of several prime time television shows. His work often illuminates the social issues of our day, and seeks to bring us together across racial, religious and political divides.&#13;
&#13;
Leon recently directed a series called Amend, featuring Will Smith, about the transformational power of the 14th Amendment. The show is now streaming on Netflix. For his latest project, Leon directs a biopic on the life of the great gospel singer Mahalia Jackson.&#13;
&#13;
Robin Roberts Presents: The Mahalia Jackson Story follows the rise of one of the most influential voices in American music. The film follows Jackon's life, struggles and achievements through a tumultuous period in U.S. history.&#13;
&#13;
Leon said he sought to avoid an unrealistic portrayal of the singer, played by Danielle Brooks, and instead focus on Jackson's resilience in the face of adversity.&#13;
&#13;
"The story we're telling is not about a person who is anointed with a great voice and who is perfect," Leon said. "We're telling a story of a woman who was knocked down 10 times but got up 11 times."&#13;

Brian Kemp issued guidelines yesterday to expand eligibility for COVID-19 vaccinations to more than three million additional Georgians. The move lowers the age threshold to 55 and covers those with a broad range of health conditions.&#13;
&#13;
The announcement follows recent criticism of Georgia's vaccine rollout. A Centers for Disease Control report ranked Georgia poorly among U.S. states for its administration of the COVID-19 vaccinations.  &#13;
&#13;
Kemp announced his intention to further expand the guidelines to include all Georgia adults by early April. Some public health officials fear infrastructure and supply may not be able to accommodate the increased demand as eligibility continues to expand.&#13;
&#13;
Meanwhile, the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package is nearing President Joe Biden’s desk. Republicans argue the massive spending bill is swollen with spending that has little to do with coronavirus-related matters. Democrats are celebrating the measure, describing it as one of the broadest expansions of the social safety net in modern history.&#13;

One example is the severe economic and personal toll coronavirus has had on women — both at work and at home.&#13;
&#13;
Data that has emerged during the COVID-19 crisis underlines a stark economic reality for women. Since the beginning of the economic shutdown last year, 2.1 million women have dropped out of the workforce in the United States. According to the National Women's Law Center, women accounted for 55% of U.S. jobs lost in the last year. That jeopardizes the economic and societal progress women have made, particularly in the working world, while the pay gap between men and women grows. These hardships are even more pronounced for women of color, who were already disadvantaged compared to their white counterparts long before the pandemic began.&#13;
&#13;
Taifa Smith Butler, president of the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute, said women entrepreneurs face unique challenges in the current economy and receive a disproportionate lack of support from efforts to aid small business.&#13;
&#13;
"We have seen entrepreneurs' doors close and not have access to capital or support with the payment protection programs," Butler said. "Looking at women entrepreneurs, will they be able to maintain and sustain their economic growth and their businesses through this pandemic?"&#13;
&#13;
Some experts say it could be years before women recover from the economic setbacks dealt by the virus. &#13;
&#13;
These financial and professional hardships are in addition to the mental and emotional stress working mothers, and women overall, face while trying to balance family and home responsibilities with their jobs. Subha Barry, president of Working Mother Media, pointed to the concept of the "third shift," otherwise known as the "mental workload" of managing a household.&#13;
&#13;
"Long before this pandemic started, women were actually always working a third shift — and that is whether or not you had children," Barry said. "You still work the third shift. If you think of the first shift as work, second shift as home, the third shift was planning for everything — from the birthday parties to remembering to send out the gifts and cards, to organizing everything, to making sure there's, you know, the grocery lists are made even if somebody else did the grocery shopping. So there was a third shift already. Think about the added burden on top of that that has come in on women."&#13;

Georgia teachers have died of the virus, and many fear the risks they take leading in-person classes. Parents struggle to balance their hopes of getting their children back to normal school life with their worry the virus will be brought home.&#13;

Voting Laws, While Perdue Opts Out Of 2022 Senate Race</title><description>Wednesday on Political Rewind: Legislators move on consequential bills in the Georgia General Assembly.&#13;
&#13;
The state Senate yesterday passed a first wave of measures designed by Republicans to change how Georgians vote. A bill that requires increased proof of identity such as a photo identification or driver's license for absentee voting now heads to the state House.&#13;
&#13;
Rene Alegria of Spanish-language news site Mundo Hispanico said communities struggling with inequity are more likely to be disproportionately deterred from voting as a result of these measures.&#13;
&#13;
“These are the little hurdles that, when you put them in front of voters, it just makes it a pain in the butt to vote,” Alegria said. “And for the Hispanic community, these are just examples of a system that is trying to implement voter disenfranchisement. Where does it stop?”&#13;
&#13;
More dramatic changes to absentee balloting and early voting are waiting in the wings for debate in the House and Senate. Supporters insist the bills are needed to assure confidence in elections, while Democrats and election observers express concerns that the measures are akin to voter suppression.&#13;
&#13;
Also, despite recently filing paperwork to run against newly minted Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock, David Perdue announced yesterday he will not enter the 2022 race. Perdue’s announcement clears the way for a number of Georgia Republicans to run for Warnock's seat.&#13;

The 25-year-old was shot and killed in a residential neighborhood outside of Brunswick, Ga., not far from his home. Gregory and Travis McMichael, accused of his murder, claim they believed Arbery was responsible for a string of burglaries in the area.&#13;
&#13;
But on that day one year ago, the incident received little attention from the rest of the world. It was not until three months later, when video of Arbery's death reached the general public, that attention was drawn to the case.&#13;
&#13;
Arbery became one of the names serving as a rallying cry for change during nationwide protests demanding an end to racial inequity and police brutality.&#13;
&#13;
“This is a pattern," Marissa McCall Dodson of the Southern Center for Human Rights said. "It’s something that families are dealing with all across our state and all across the country. So I just think this is the moment where we need to say, ‘This is not an outlier. We continue to see Black lives taken.'"&#13;

Plus, former U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler announced a new voter registration group aimed at helping Republicans register likely conservative voters and advocating for conservative electoral policies.

Meanwhile, the Biden administration pauses Kemp’s plan for a partial expansion of Medicaid. President Donald Trump had approved Kemp’s plan, which ties expanding Medicaid to a work requirement, but now the Biden administration says the requirement is unfeasible during a pandemic. This leaves the opportunity for Georgia's Democratic party to push again for a full expansion of Medicaid in the state.&#13;

Former Sen. David Perdue took the first steps in mounting a 2022 challenge to newly elected Sen. Rev. Raphael Warnock. Perdue is expected to decide within the next month whether to formally enter the race, but by filing the legal paperwork need to run, he has effectively frozen out other potential Republicans challengers.&#13;

Few were surprised when Trump was acquitted over the weekend. But the trial did come with some last-minute drama. The Senate took an unexpected vote to allow witnesses on Saturday morning, only for Democrats to abandon that path hours later in the interest of a speedy conclusion to the trial. What motivated the shift?&#13;

Meanwhile, the 43 Senate Republicans who voted to acquit provide a glimpse onto the hold that the former president continues to have on the party.&#13;

Also, Gov. Brian Kemp is working to reframe himself as the vaccine governor. Is that a risky proposition if supplies of vaccine continue to lag behind demand?&#13;

Charges</title><description>Thursday on Political Rewind: Gov. Brian Kemp is preparing to unveil his proposal for reforming Georgia’s citizens’ arrest law. The current law stirred controversy in the aftermath of the shooting of 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery, a Black jogger, by white men who claim they were detaining him in response to a series of break-ins in a residential neighborhood outside of Brunswick.&#13;
&#13;
Our panel discussed the political motive behind the push to reform the law.&#13;
&#13;
State Senator Rev. Kim Jackson said while she was glad to see progress on this issue, there is still a long way to go in reforming criminal justice.&#13;
&#13;
“Here's the truth about the situation; this is really low-hanging fruit," Jackson said. "From a progressive standpoint, there is so much more around criminal justice issues that we need to address and actually make real change [to] protect significantly more Black lives than this bill does."&#13;
&#13;
Also, the Fulton County district attorney and the Georgia secretary of state's office each launch investigations into the actions of former President Trump. The investigations look into Trump’s alleged efforts to coerce Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, Kemp and others to overturn the results of Georgia’s presidential election.&#13;
&#13;
In Washington, D.C., impeachment managers used harrowing audio and video of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol in their arguments against former President Donald Trump. But will Republican members of Congress budge, as Democrats hope?&#13;

&#13;
In DeKalb County, local leaders announce plans to protect renters and landlords hit hard by the pandemic. They seek to use a $21 million federal grant to secure housing for thousands of residents at risk of eviction in the middle of a winter rife with illness and economic uncertainty.&#13;
&#13;
Michael Thurmond, DeKalb County CEO, joins our panel to discuss the latest.&#13;
&#13;
Leaders across the state are also grappling with the vaccine rollout. Recent data from the Centers for Disease Control shows distribution hindered by social inequity and limited supply.&#13;
&#13;
Meanwhile in the state Capitol, Republican legislators released a list of recommendations they say are designed to assure future elections will be free of fraud. Among the changes, ending automatic registration and removing voting software from Dominion Voting Systems. The proposal also includes a call to take oversight of elections away from Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.&#13;
&#13;
"This is the theme we have seen in the legislature and in Georgia politics since the early 2000s," Jim Galloway said on the show. "There is a portion of the Republican Party that think voting is so important that you ought to have the energy to meet a certain amount of obstacles to cast the ballot."&#13;
&#13;
Democrats plan to fight the recommended changes, which they insist are efforts at voter suppression. But the proposals are also sparking further division among Republicans.&#13;
&#13;
"There are probably about two recommendation there I think are a good idea," former Georgia attorney general Sam Olens said. "There is a bunch in the document that me and Mike Thurmond would respond in the same way to. This is Jim Crow. There is a bunch in the document that is 2021 Jim Crow."&#13;

&#13;
The survey results show that state Republicans are in a much weaker position than they have been in years. About half of those polled said that they have a positive view of Democrats, but only about a third said the same about the GOP. Still, a majority of Georgians polled approved of proposals for adding photo I.D. or other documentation for absentee voting, but oppose further restrictions.&#13;
&#13;
With the 2022 midterm elections on the horizon, the future of the Republican Party in Georgia remains uncertain and, as a result, could have broader implications for local and national politics in the future.&#13;
&#13;
Also, the public outcry over Georgia U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene continues. She faces the possibility of censure and loss of her House committee assignments. Democrats are also preparing a measure to call for her ouster from Congress.&#13;

While the task force numbers indicate a slight improvement in recent weeks, 821 Georgians died from the virus in just the seven-day period ending last Friday. The staggering toll comes even as the state faces a dwindling supply of vaccines as well as confusion about rollout. &#13;
&#13;
However, with his first full day in office, President Joe Biden is kicking his COVID-19 plan into action. The administration has unveiled a new 21-page plan, which leans on executive authority to create a multifaceted national strategy to combat the pandemic. The response is organized around seven main goals, including efforts to protect workers and students, provide reliable information and communication, advance racial equity in the coronavirus response, and deal with supply shortages by ramping up the production of necessities like test kits, protective equipment and, of course, vaccines. &#13;

The longtime panelist will remain a frequent guest of our show. Panelists: Jim Galloway — Lead Political Writer, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Rep.

Congressional Delegation Vote On Party Lines Despite Bipartisan Impeachment</title><description>Thursday on Political Rewind: Georgia’s members of the U.S. House voted along party lines on impeachment of President Donald Trump. The debate continues over the president’s role in inciting insurrection when he directed angry crowds of his supporters to march on the U.S. Capitol last week. Democrats accused trump of violating his oath to protect the country from its enemies, foreign or domestic. Many Republicans called the impeachment a political stunt that will further divide the country.&#13;

Also: COVID-19 continue to spiral upward in Georgia. New cases are in unprecedented territory here, at some 9,000 per day. At the same time, public health officials are grappling with how to speed the delivery of the COVID vaccine to people across the state.&#13;

It’s the last week of early in-person voting for the Jan. 5 runoff election. Candidates in the Senate runoff elections are moving into the closing days of their campaigns even as more than 2 million Georgians have already cast ballots early mail or in-person early.&#13;
&#13;
Fundraising in the election continues to soar to new heights as campaigns approach a staggering half-billion dollars in spending before the last ballot is cast.&#13;
&#13;
Also, the debate over relief for American citizens struggling through the COVID-19 pandemic continues. Last night, a recalcitrant President Donald Trump signed a massive coronavirus relief package he had threatened to veto. What does this latest move mean to Georgia's pair of Republican U.S. senators?&#13;

His book tells their stories and offers us insight into how we can utilize skills and tools to emerge on the other side of a transition.&#13;

&#13;
President Donald Trump’s four years in the White House were marked by hyper-partisanship heightened by his demonization of those who oppose him. But long before the presidency of Trump, an obscure West Georgia college professor employed similar tactics on his way to becoming one of the most powerful Republican leaders in Washington. &#13;
&#13;
In Zelizer's new book on Newt Gingrich, the Princeton professor follows Gingrich through his first win in Congress and up the leadership of the GOP. Gingrich brought a unique ruthlessness which would change the tone of political discourse for years to come.&#13;

In his latest book, "Burning Down The House: Newt Gingrich, the Fall of a Speaker," and the Rise of the New Republican Party, Zelizer explores the fame and fortunes of Newt Gingrich. President Donald Trump’s four years in the White House were marked by hyper-partisanship heightened by his demonization of those who oppose him. But long before the presidency of Trump, an obscure West Georgia college professor employed similar tactics on his way to becoming one of the most powerful Republican leaders in Washington. In Zelizer's new book on Newt Gingrich, the Princeton professor follows Gingrich through his first win in Congress and up the leadership of the GOP. Gingrich brought a unique ruthlessness which would change the tone of political discourse for years to come.

Meanwhile, there are growing concerns among Georgia Republicans that could hobble the party’s organizing efforts, especially in the lead up to the runoffs for the state’s two Senate seats. Top GOP officials, including President Donald Trump, alluded to election malfeasance by Governor Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger following November’s presidential victory for Democrat Joe Biden. Republicans are worried that these assertions could undermine Republican candidates' chances to win and could lead to a party at war with itself.

&#13;
During his 24-year tenure, Nunn became the Senate’s most important voice on the U.S. military and a leader in debates on foreign affairs. In the years since he left the Senate, Nunn continued his groundbreaking work to rid the world of the threat of nuclear destruction.&#13;
&#13;
We will discuss Nunn’s career and ask him about how the Senate has devolved from an important deliberative body into a toxic partisan stew. What are the statemen’s thoughts on President Donald Trump and his efforts to forestall the outcome of the presidential election?&#13;
&#13;
Nunn finds Trump's refusal to transition President-elect Joe Biden into the White House "breathtaking."&#13;
&#13;
"You don't have to concede to have a transition. President Trump can keep on fighting, you can keep on going to court, that's fine," he said. "But for goodness sake, he needs to step up and put his county first."&#13;

President-elect Joe Biden signaled he is open to stumping for Democratic challengers Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock. More influential figures are expected to make appearances here in the next nine weeks in the lead up to the Jan. 5 runoff elections.&#13;

Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is responding to criticism from Georgia Republicans over his handling of the November election in the state. He received calls for his resignation from Loeffler and Perdue. The pair accuse him of a lack of transparency and mismanaging the state elections. Raffensperger responded by saying it’s his job to follow Georgia law and count all votes, while investigating any potential violations to voting law or procedures.&#13;

Tuesday on Political Rewind, uncertainty over the coming school year. Many families are wondering what schooling will look like in just a few months.

Under a cloud of the pandemic, school systems are asking parents to make the decisions on whether to send their children back to classrooms or continue online learning.

The American Academy of Pediatrics “strongly advocates" for students to be "physically present in school" this fall, but only “if it’s safe.” Some school districts have released their reopening plans, with many including a hybrid plan of students in school and home learning virtually.

But Ty Tagami, education reporter for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, said students in many counties outside of the metro Atlanta area face challenges when it comes to those who learn from home.

Said Tagami, “A lot of school districts don’t have some of the advantages we have in Metro Atlanta, namely technology, broadband access, so many school districts don’t have it.”

Dr. Stephen Owens said budget cuts risk excasterbating the situation.

"The uncertainty of how many students will be in the classroom is compounded by the uncertainty for schools caused by a nearly $1 billion cut in K-12 education," Dr. Owens said. “This is a crisis that will be with our schools for a number of years."
