Mr. President.
Nice to see you again.
Good to see you again. How are you doing? Here, we have you over here. Uh, how was your, how was your flight in?
It was beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you so much. Mr. President, so great to see you back in Georgia. We saw you in Dalton last weekend --
Right.
Now you're back. Georgia's on your mind.
There's a big crowd.
A big crowd out there, and they're really excited to see you. So ahead of the midterms, we've been watching rural voters closely, um, and we're starting to see that they're lagging behind. How do we get out some of those rural voters in counties like Houston County, like Perry here --
Right, sure.
-- Um, and get them out for the, for the Republicans?
Which I know very well. I love those counties, and they're coming out because they know we're gonna, uh, stop the number one state sponsor of tariff -- of, of terror. And, uh, the Iran situation's gonna end very soon. Gasoline's gonna come pouring down. You know, before we started, we had to do that. We had a -- and we did a great job.
They will never have a nuclear weapon. You wanna see a mess? Let them have a nuclear weapon. But, uh, gasoline prices are gonna be tumbling down and other prices are already coming way down. And we inherited this from Biden. We had the worst inflation in the history of our country under Joe Biden, acknowledged.
And we have it down. The last three months, we've had 1.7% for three months. We're way down. But, uh, gasoline and gas and oil will be coming down very rapidly, very soon.
When it comes to the midterms, it was announced your administration, the Department of Justice, will be having poll monitors at six metro Atlanta, uh, counties. What will they be doing, and what do you wanna say to people who could be concerned about any possible federal interference?
Right. Well, they wanna watch. You know, with Fulton County, you know, that disaster. Uh, they wanna watch. They're not gonna do anything other than watch. And if they see something wrong, we wanna all have honest elections. And the one thing we have to have is honest elections.
Are you concerned about, you know, elections here in Georgia and the administration of them right now?
Well, I think that, uh, when you look at the people that run Atlanta, as an example, when you look at some of the people around, yeah, I would be, I would be worried about it, but we won't have to because we have professionals that just will be there to watch.
And so one, uh, area in which, um, we've talked with Rick Jackson about that he said that he kind of disagrees with some of your, uh, with some of your thoughts is data centers. He believes that locals should be able to approve of those data centers. So --
I agree with that. No, I agree with that. And I think locals should be paid a lot of money for data centers. When a data center goes in, I've seen it. People are very unhappy. All of a sudden, a data center decides to pay a community, uh, in the form of taxes, in a form of whatever. And all of a sudden, the same people love what they're doing.
So, uh, I'm fully aware of data centers. I l- -- we have to have them because you know who likes them? China. China wants data centers, and they're building them rapidly, and we're beating China. But the data centers, they have money. They can pay local communities a lot.
Is there any data center regulation that, uh, Jackson supports? Um, have you guys talked about that? And do you feel like there's any, um, a- -- any, any differences between the two?
Well, I th- -- I don't think so. I mean, I think that data centers, when you get right down and you start paying almost a tax or a dividend for a data center, the people are gonna be very happy because they do add a lot. You know, they're gonna -- they're doing their own electricity. They're gonna be giving it back into the grid.
So the data centers are gonna be fine, but let the people benefit from the data centers.
And data centers are huge here in Georgia.
Yeah.
Before I let you go, um, a big announcement about Audi that you're gonna be making here today. Can you tell us more about it and what it means?
We have the head of Audi worldwide. He's gonna be -- and he's gonna be spending billions of dollars on a new, uh, plant right about 20 minutes from here.
What will that mean for Georgians?
Jobs. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and money. Income. It's very exciting, actually.
Thank you so much for taking the time.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate it.
Thank you, darling. You take care of yourself.
