G&D Farms talked about Outdoor Expo - Jeff Poor - Mobile Mornings - Wednesday 9-04-24
(upbeat music) - News, sports, weather from Dr. Bill Williams, traffic info from Kane, and one of the Gulf Coast's most familiar voices. It's Mobile Mornings with Dan Brennan and Dalton R. Wig. - Good morning from Dan and Dalton F.M. Talk 10065. It is 807, on Mobile Mornings. We've got a situation we're gonna be talking about, an event coming out to the grounds, and it's with G.D. Farms, and it's got all kinds of outdoor stuff. About 830, we'll get around to it. Big Expo out that way, fishing, boating, hunting, taxidermy, outdoor apparel. So I'm gonna be out there. - That'll be next Friday through Sunday, and they're gonna have like an archery contest, some vendors, and then the giveaways are ridiculous. So we'll break all that down for you. Lee Davis from G.D. Farms, coming up just after 830 this morning. - We're the high school archery epicenter around here, aren't we? - Yeah, we are. - We've got some big winners. They travel the country and just win every tournament. - Especially down by the battery, and down there to Alma Bryant. - By the way, did you see any, and I only saw a couple clips, maybe I should have been following the Paralympics a little more closely this year, but the folks who are doing archery and don't have arms. I don't know how many of the Paralympics that competed in the archery divisions were armless or were missing an arm, but like I saw one that was, you know, putting the arrow in with his feet and then shooting with his feet. I mean, talk about something that's incredibly difficult. It's amazing what some of these folks who either are born or at some point experience a terrible, you know, accident and end up with missing legs or arms or whatever. And then they go on to accomplish some of their, I mean, some of their athletic feats are just unbelievable. - Yeah, you think of those wheelchair basketball teams, and that's kind of more of a conventional thing. Someone loses the use of a leg or their legs in an accident, could be a car accident, whatever. And you watch these people play and you watch the effort that you give and you watch the skill that they've developed and it blows your mind, but that's another level you're talking about right there. - Shooting archery with feet, very, very cool. I see in some of those, you know, the gold medals mean just the same to me when it comes to that, so very cool. - Number one of our three big things today has got to do with voting Dalton, so we were talking about this 62 days until election day, but what does that term really mean? Because so many people are voting ahead of time. - Right. - In fact, in 2020, the Fox News voter analysis found that 71% of voters cast their ballots before election day. - That's amazing. - And it kind of still kind of rode high during the midterms, 57% of voters casting a ballot before election day. I would not guess that it's that way in the state of Alabama or many other states like ours, but still nationwide, those are the numbers and they're pretty astounding. It's to say you were talking about the election and the conversation's going up to the election, the campaigning and so forth and so on, the ads which really haven't begun to run in earnest yet. - Yeah, I mean, we're seeing the presidential ones more and more often, especially during football games, other big, television events, but as far as local races, you're still not really seeing a whole lot out there. And maybe because our state is more likely to vote close or on election day, and you'll see those come in later, but of course, we all know why they were so much more voting by mail or absentee voting back in 2020, many states changed their rules and it was all in the name of COVID, right? And despite using these emergency powers to change them then and sometimes change them against the law, their state laws, things didn't really change a whole lot during the 2022 midterms when COVID was still an issue, but not nearly the issue that it was in 2020. And outside of a few states, trying to change some of the laws on the books, I don't know if much has changed as we had into 2024. And you'll have, you have some states like Georgia who put more rules in for early voting, and there are some Republican state houses who are trying to ensure that IDs are used in some form or fashion and that they kind of check the votes as they come in to make sure they line up with voter registration polls, but it's a new era. And the Democrats realized that back in 2020, Trump and a lot of the Republicans just didn't get to it in time for 2020, despite the Democrats making that big, big push heading into that election. And I do know that there's been some major Republican pushes to get more involved in early voting. It's like, it's the same way I feel. Well, if this is gonna happen, if the rules of the game aren't gonna change in so many of these battleground states where the election is truly decided, then we need to go ahead and play their game. Yeah, play their game and try to win at that game. But you're right, the early voting starts Fridays when they're gonna start sending out some absentee ballots. In certain states, North Carolina will start Friday, but then you have also this month, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Nevada. I mean, those are pretty much the battleground states, minus one or two. It looks like Arizona maybe gets started a little bit later, Ohio, Ohio a little bit later, but it brings a lot of questions into how to effectively run a campaign these days. And you look at these debates or debate that is scheduled. I think so much now rides on this September 10th debate, which is on ABC News, is that right? Yep, it's bigger than Trump. Because many people will have already possibly sent back their absentee ballots by then. Most likely, more people will have not yet voted. But after September 10th and going through the rest of the month, you're gonna see hundreds of thousands, millions of ballots cast still two months out from when many of us will actually head to the polls. And then you have the tabulation and the counting of the votes. In some places, some states, I believe count early and tabulate those votes. Don't release the information, but tabulate. And then you have states that actually begin counting those votes on election night itself. Those are the states with a delayed reply to, well, who won? And nothing really makes me more angry than, okay, this is election day. We all know what it means to be on election day. And you have all these people who were supposed to count the votes and then they fold up shop at 9 p.m. They said, we'll get back at it tomorrow morning. It's like, no, this is your job to just stay through until the count is done. The nation is awaiting these results, right? So, and I think Alabama, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm looking at a website here for voters in Alabama. I believe this is the, where Alabama drops into this category. Fourteen states, voters must have an excuse to vote by mail ranging from illness, age, work, hours, or if a voter is out of their home county on election day. I think that's true that we're in there. And if you have ever voted other than just voting at the polling place on the text line, tell us what the circumstances were and how you voted and how it all went. Yeah, I voted to absentee one time and it was during, it was one of the first times I voted. So it was either 2010 or 2012 after I turned 18. And I was living technically in Groville, but I was going to college. So I wasn't going to be in Groville. Not in your home county. Right. And that one, you know, I just went to the off the town hall there in Groville, where the election manager was, grabbed an absentee ballot, filled it out, put it in the, I can't remember if I put it in an envelope or directly into some kind of bin or something like that, but that was it. It was basically the same thing as going to an election place in voting. I just did it a week or two ahead of time. Yeah. So if you had been in Troy at that time where you were an outstanding football player on scholarship, if you'd done it there, I wonder how that would, you know, how does it, how do you go about that? If you're in, you want to go ahead and cast your vote from another county, maybe it's even in advance. You're not going to be able to get home in time or something like that. Well, you, you would have to do, and I don't know if it's the same now, you'd have to do some serious planning ahead of time and have them send one out. I believe if you didn't have anyone that could do that for you. Okay. I don't really haven't really followed the absentee ballot voting rules in Alabama very closely because I like so many other people show up on Election Day and vote then, but it's a different world. And I've seen some Republicans, including, I can't remember the guy's last name. He's got long hair. I think it's Taylor something, and I think he calls himself like the resistance or something like that. Anyway, ever since 2020, he's been going state to state, especially the battleground states like Pennsylvania, and doing what we've seen, well, a lot of people do over the years and just trying to get as many people registered with the Republican party as he can. And he was posting numbers last night. They got some new Pennsylvania registration voting numbers in. And just like we've seen Florida really tipped the scales towards the Republicans over the last few years, as far as registered voters, Pennsylvania has pushed a lot more Republicans into their voting roles as well. Again, how does election season, quote, unquote, election season need to change now that we're faced with this new reality? I mentioned it earlier, but the Minnesota State Fair, which is on week eight now, I think, it's about two weeks in a wrapped up Labor Day, but that Ferris wheel is now a permanent part of the Minneapolis skyline. So they had a, it was a local TV channel in Minnesota that was interviewing a Minnesota state Senator. Um, so a state legislator, and he was talking about Tim walls. And I think this was a Republican state Senator, didn't have a lot of love for the Democrat governor walls. And he was basically saying that the scheduled debate between walls and JD Vance is more or less a sham because it's scheduled for late October. He said by that point, over half of Minnesotans will have cast their ballots. I mean, over half of the state will have voted before November. You could say it's broken. I think that it's kind of a broken system in that sense, but it's also the way the game is being played now. And you have to adjust kind of like Nick Saban adjusted so many different years in order to keep all of them at the top and winning. We saw him very uncomfortably shift with things, right? Like the different kinds of offenses and then substituting players and so on and so forth. Republicans have to do the same thing as far as voting goes. Yeah, I agree. And, uh, think about this too, Don, what is your opinion of this? So Pennsylvania, uh, evidently an uptick, you know, away from the cities more than likely of Republican, uh, people registering as Republicans. And the fact that Donald Trump was nearly assassinated in their state, you wonder if that makes a difference. Seriously. Yeah, I think. Does that make a difference of the way that state votes? I think definitely. Yeah, I think, uh, it'll lead to maybe more of an increased turnout among Republicans and probably shifted quite a few independent votes that way, especially if they were following that story as closely as, as many of us were, but it happened in their own backyard, uh, where, you know, he was almost shot and killed. I think it definitely will play a role in the voting in Pennsylvania. Yeah. I don't know the psychology behind that. I don't really have any. I don't, I don't, uh, all I'm saying is that was a, that it went a moment. It was a raw moment for sure. It was beyond embarrassment for the secret service and probably the citizens of Pennsylvania. They probably horrified that it happened in their state and you just wonder if there is sentiment for Trump, if there is, uh, that sentiment grows rather than declines. I think it would. And you talked about when they start counting votes and of course they can't really put out any of the information on actual votes because that could very much sort of turn out and sway the election. I thought this was funny. You know, we've seen the polls shift so much, um, and, and be so wrong back in 2020 and in other years, I mean, but 2016 and other years, uh, there's a Politico story that came out yesterday where they're now saying, uh, at least this one, uh, journalist on Politico said basically you can't trust polls. And this is interesting because it's the left saying this now. And the right has been saying it for so long. You wonder if maybe they're starting to say that because the Kamala polls are heading in the opposite direction from where they were, uh, once she was named the Democrat nominee, but this, this writer, Justin Gremmer says, I'm a political scientist who develops and applies machine learning methods like forecasts to political problems. The truth is we don't have nearly enough data to know whether these models are any good at making presidential prognostications and the data we do have suggests these models may have real world negative consequences in terms of driving down turnout. Uh, hello. Yeah. Uh, statistical models that aggregate polling data and used to estimate the probability of each candidate winning an election have become extremely popular in recent years. Proponents claim they provide an unbiased projection of what will happen in November and serve as antidotes to the ad hoc predictions of talking head political pundits. And of course, we all want to know who's going to win, but the reality is there's far less precision and far more punditry than forecasters admit. And we see this in our own local elections. When a poll comes out on district two, you have to look at who did the polling first off. If it's a right leaning group, you have to at this point, assume the polling will favor Carolyn Dobson. Sure. When it's a left group, like, uh, Southern Southern poverty law center, which had smart figures up by 12 points, I think 12 or 13, then you know that that polls kind of slanted in the left direction. And then you go to a site like real clear politics that averages all these polls. And Jeff's talked about this a lot over the last couple of weeks, Jeff poor, but the polls they're averaging are weighted completely differently. Uh, some are weighted heavily towards Democrats. Some are weighted heavily towards certain demographics. One way or the other, you're not getting a real, uh, consistent poll all the way through. And then you average these all together. Really, polling is just an industry, you know, how many people would be out of jobs if there was no more polling. And I'm not sure really, it really means much in the end, or if it does mean much, if it means anything positive, really, uh, how does polling. So on the text line, if you voted in a, in another way, other than just going to the ballot here in Alabama, how did you do that and how did it go? And also does polling actually affect getting you to the polls that day? Yeah. If you vote on that day. If you vote that day. Yeah. So just on the text line, 25.3430106 will read some loose text on our way back. Good morning from Dan and Dalton, FM talk 106 5 mobile mornings at 826, have you voted yet? So the September 21st is when ballots, when you can begin it, any sort of absentee, in north. Well, it's September 21st. Yeah, that's when they'll start sending them out, but North Carolina starts Friday. And both candidates trying to win that state, of course, Gene, welcome back, Gene. Gene says, of course, Alabama has to make it difficult for voters. Maybe it's because they continue to make it harder for black folks. Gene. Give me some specific examples. Tell me, I thought we had record, record turnout, yeah, back in 2022. Give me some specific examples of how or why black folks in our area can't vote. Tell us. Didn't they have a thing where black rural churches were paying people to get them to vote? Remember that? Well, they were there was a minute going to folks to drive people to the polls. Yeah. Uh, I don't know the exact specifics, but yeah, that was going on. And I think some members of the legislators were legislature were trying to change that, but without knowing the exact specifics, but yeah, people have been paid in the past to transport people to the voting polls, but I saw video the other day. And I can't remember where it was, but they, uh, this, uh, on the street reporter of which there are 10 million now for their TikTok videos, yeah, was, uh, asking, uh, like these liberal, uh, white people on these college campuses, uh, why do you think it, what they were asking about voter ID laws, uh, do you think voter ID should be necessary for someone to vote? And why not? And pretty much every white liberal said, oh, it's racist, uh, making people use voter IDs to vote. And, uh, so then the same man on the street goes to black folks in the same city and said, uh, do you have an ID? They're like, yeah, said, uh, these, these white people over here don't think you have an ID. They think it's tough for you to get an ID. And then these black folks are going, what are they talking about? Yeah. I have an ID. I have an on me all the time. It's, it's, it can be insulting, uh, white, uh, over the, uh, bright people. And you know, and, uh, gene and a lot of people, I think, you know, just have this myth, ensure are there, are there outliers, uh, different reasons that maybe one person or another can't get to the polling place, uh, that day. Sure. Yeah. With black folks and white folks. But, uh, it's, it's a huge myth that voter ID laws make it incredibly more difficult for minorities to vote. And to say in the state of Alabama and gene just provided with information and I'd be happy to read it over, but, uh, the secretary of state is the driving engine of elections in the state of Alabama. But the secretary of state in 2020 could not have been working with more hustle, uh, Merrill to get people registered and to get them to vote. He was, I would, I would, I, I can't imagine there was any secretary of state in the other, from the other 49 that were any better than Merrill and getting, making sure that people voted every single interview. He talked about how many people he had added to the voter rolls. And he wasn't doing it with a win, like, again, you know, we're not going to do that. Exactly. Uh, more textures, uh, letting us know about voting absentee or early voting and whether they had difficulty or not. We'll get back to these before the end of the hour, 2, 5, 1, 3, 4, 3, 0, 1, 0, 6, coming up. We're talking about the GND farms outdoor expo coming to the grounds next week. Good morning from Dan Brennan, Dalton, our wig and FM talk, 106, 5, think you got my name right there. It was close. I did it with a, uh, for very an accent, for some reason. I don't know why, my, my tribute to the Germans. Um, we got, well, the reason I did that is because we have so many people in the room right now. I, I, the next thing is going to be the fire commissioner. So we have to make sure that we get all these names correct. Yes. To make sure people are, uh, aware of what's coming up next weekend and out of the grounds. Let's start with the man himself with GND farms and, uh, morning, good morning. Good morning. Yeah. Bring that microphone close to you. Lee Davis with GND farms and, uh, you guys have a big event coming up next week. I'm fired up about it. You know, I'm a, uh, I was, uh, raised in Grove Hill. So I know everyone around here, they think of GND farms, they think Wilmer and, uh, I think of Grove Hill and, uh, for the longest time, I think it was Bradford outdoors. I was. Cart prep. Across the street, uh, you guys took it over, uh, back in, oh, seven, oh, eight, something like that. And, uh, so glad to have you, uh, putting this event on next week. The GND farms outdoor expo at the grounds. Yes, sir. Uh, tell us how this came to be and, uh, how much fun this is going to be next weekend. I'm looking forward to it. Uh, I reckon after it's all with all of the hard work, we'll see how much fun it turns out to be. Yeah. Maybe not as much fun for you, but for the rest of us, it's going to be a great time. Absolutely. Uh, we've been looking forward to doing this for years. We've wanted to. We've talked about it with different folks. Uh, all our vendors are supporting us. We've had great support from the local community, not only with the, the people that we rep represent their products that we sell in our, in our, both our locations, but just it's, it's been fun getting, getting to network with the local community to, to showcase them. That's what I learned a long time ago in business. If, if the people you do business with aren't successful, you're not apt to be successful. Yeah. So that's what we, we want to showcase GND brand, but we also want to showcase the people that we deal with. That's your enthusiasm is telling everything right now. Well, that's what we're, yeah, you're excited about the fact that you've gotten together with so many different organizations and businesses and people, but you, you're really looking forward to starting this thing in next Friday. Right. Next Friday. Correct. And it starts next Friday. Yes, sir. Yeah. And this will be at the ground. So Friday through Sunday, uh, next week, and, uh, you have, uh, you mentioned a lot of vendors. Um, before we, uh, get to our other guests here, uh, there's going to be an archery contest and a bunch of giveaways next week's programs going to be there with their, with their tournament three D and open looking forward to seeing the kids, you know, the, the archery program has blew up, not only in this country, but it seems like in our community. Yeah, it has. I mean, we've got, we've got some kids out there that are just walking away with it and we're tickled to death with them. Yeah. I think it's great. That's awesome. Uh, well, let's talk to a couple of, uh, the guests you brought in with you here. We have, uh, Ben Payne and Zach Romero with Land Rover, a good morning gentleman. Right. Uh, so, uh, how'd you guys get involved here and, uh, tell us a little bit about Land Rover and your association here with G&D Farms. Uh, we were super excited when G&D approached us, uh, to kind of come apart, be a part of this event. Um, so Land Rover of Gulf Coast, we're part of Joe Bullard Automotive. Um, we sell new, used, certified pre-owned Jaguar Land Rovers. Um, we've been here since 1955, Joe Bullard Automotive has started out as an oldsmobile dealer. Um, but we are going to be showcasing our Land Rover Defenders at the Expo. So the Defender is kind of your off-road utility vehicle. It comes in three different sizes. You can get a 90, a 110 and a 130. So kind of something for the whole family. You can have a third row or just a two-door, um, all kinds of things. Ben has been selling these for quite a long time. He actually drives one himself, so he knows everything about them and they are just really, really cool utility vehicles that we have. Yeah. And Ben, tell us a little bit more, you know, these, uh, utility vehicles, I mean, it's in the name, uh, folks use these for all different kinds of reasons, but, but they also look so sharp. Y'all are going to have a, uh, some of these out there on the grounds for people to check out. We will have all three incarnations, the 90, which is the two-door, the 110, which is the four-door, and the 130, which is the four-door that's extended as a third-row seat, more four families. And that just came out. We're really excited about it because some of the people in our area have bigger families and everybody likes to go off-roading, uh, do really capable things in these cars. They're wonderful vehicles that will get you to and from just about anywhere. And also on the way there, we'll keep you in a really, really nice, comfortable situation. These cars ride and drive great. Well, I know, uh, y'all will be, uh, near those vehicles to try to keep the, uh, greasy kids hands off of them after getting some of the great food from the vendors, but I'm sure you're going to want to escape a little bit and check out everything else going on at the grounds. I mean, uh, for this to be an inaugural event, uh, there's going to be so much to do out there. This seems like an awesome event. It does. And we're really excited to be there. And it's, I think it's a perfect place for us to showcase these cars too. Um, it's going to fit right in with the, uh, the events that are going on out there. I think it's going to appeal to a lot of people and get our, our product out there for a lot of people to see that might not normally ever stop into the dealership. Look at these. Ben, first year events are always dicey in a way because no one's been to the event in the past. So they're just, you, you've got to market it in a way where people are very enticed to be there. So what brought, what, uh, excited you about this event because you land Rover and Joe Bullard, you're, you, you've got people asking you to advertise or to do business with them all over the place. Why this? I think just because the, the, the outdoor aspects of this event, we're going to have a lot of people there that really love to be outdoors and these vehicles really are part of that community and it's going to bring it to some people that might not ever have thought about that before. It's not a domestic vehicle. It's something a little bit different. Most people know about them, but a lot of people have never taken a ride in one or have ever seen them up close and really have had anyone explain the capability of these vehicles to them. So I think it's going to be a great, great showcase for us to bring some people who may not know they're interested, uh, into our, our fold and with this being an outdoor expo, I mean, Lee, you and the crew really covered all your bases. You'll have all kinds of vendors out there, including you fellows with a land Rover, but fishing vendors will be out there. You got boating, hunting, the archery tournament we discussed, conservation, which, uh, not as discussed to some of the others, but plays a major role in, uh, keeping our outdoors the way we need them. So folks can keep going out there and hunting and fishing the way they do taxidermy, uh, outdoor apparel, land management. You've got it all, man. We're trying to cover everything we won't, we won't, uh, something for anybody that has a question, uh, soil health is huge in the, in the food plot world. Uh, just any, you know, there's going to be somebody there that can help you with, with some aspect of what you're trying to do out in the country. So yeah, whether you're someone's interested in rigging a line for fishing or someone's interested in a schedule for when to put the seed out, uh, you've got somebody for everything. Uh, anybody that's ever been turkey hunting knows Eddie Salter. He's coming. He's excited. We're, we're looking forward to him, uh, anything we can, we can, uh, that, that, that we cover in our business as far as outdoor plus our real life, you know, my, my biggest thing is getting the grandbabies home from, from Mobile Christian. So we can go feed the deer this evening and check the cameras. You know, that's, that's just, that's what we look forward to. Yeah. We know there's a lot. There's a whole lot of people out there that do the same thing. They're, they're looking to do the same thing. So we want to, we want to be involved in that. Lee, some of those people live in Grove Hill. So now that you've got this, uh, presence in, well, have for a long time is growing. I mean, are you driving people from Grove Hill down here? I would think that, uh, they, I think there'd be a lot of people from the rural areas that are going to come check this out. We were very fortunate when we, when we got hooked up with that store up there, Adam, which he's become like another son that runs the store in Grove Hill. He treats it like it's his own, we, we started that because you have so many people that live in Mobile that hunt their property in Clark County, Wilcox. And so it was just a perfect fit. Yeah. And we have fell in love with Grove Hill, it's just another family out there to us. I just want to give you a little evidence of that, uh, that's, you, you're right on with that because when we are doing high school football on Friday nights on new TV, 44, guess where most of our, uh, correspondence comes from people at hunting camps up there, watching the football game, feeling like, Hey, I'm kind of in Mobile. I'm watching, they're doing what they want to do that weekend, but they're taking in football. That's the little corner where they're kind of checking us out, but otherwise it's all about being up at the hunting camps. Yeah. It's, it's Labor Day things to be the, the, the light switch. We go from the Gulf to the woods and let's get the food plots ready. Let's get to the hunting camp, make sure the porch is swept off. Make sure it's good and no coons in the, in the utility room. So we bring mom up this weekend. Yeah. She's not going to throw a fit. Yeah. You don't need a 15 year old penalty on that play. No, sir. No coons in the utility room. No, sir. We'll get back to the, the outdoor expo real quick, but the, for folks who want to come out and see GND feed, uh, you're, the grovel went on 43 there between grovel and, uh, Thomas find that one? That's just, just straight out tenor Williams road, which is old shell that turns into tenor Williams come across big creek lake, go right past the little elementary school where a mile on the ride, you can't miss us, uh, farmland, grain bands.

Maybe they want to get in before the folks who come out next weekend, uh, come by and check them out on the lot. How can people get in touch with you? Absolutely. You can, uh, you can come by. We're right at cottage hill in the belt line on a hearing mobile and 478-222-8 gives a call. That's the number there at Joe Bullard Automotive asked for sales or service. We'll be glad to help you and, uh, give you directions in if you can't figure out where we are. Um, we would love to see people come by and look at these vehicles. Yeah. Well, we, uh, we here at FM talk one of six fiber excited about being out there next weekend. I believe Sean's doing his show from over there. Yeah. So, uh, it's going to be a great time. We encourage everyone to come out, uh, Ben, Zach, Lee, thank y'all for coming in and, uh, looking forward to seeing you in about a week and a half. That's good. And tell Joe, Joe's, you know, not like a close personal friend, but he's somebody that's always there if you need him, right? Anybody, anybody in the community, if you want to reach out to Joe Bullard, he'll, he's there for you. Absolutely. So in any event, uh, just want to tell him hello and then his son, hello, because back in 2000, I did games for UMS, right? And Ty was on the field and now isn't his son, now a player at UMS, right? I believe he is now on the roster at UMS, right as well. So we've got a couple of UMS, right games this year to tell, uh, tell the, tell the Bullards that we're happy they've, uh, keep on populating the field out there and, uh, we'll, we'll keep on calling out their name. Thank you very much. You got it. All right. Uh, appreciate you guys. And, uh, we'll keep giving you more information on, uh, how to get out there to the grounds to check this out next week. The giveaways look awesome. And then of course the vendors, including Land Rover and the vehicles they'll have out there. Uh, really good job. Really putting this together. And again, Sean is going to have midday mobile so that'll kick the whole thing off on Friday. I believe that's there. Yeah. That's exactly right. Two, five, one, three, four, three, zero, one, zero, six mobile mornings. We're, uh, headed to the end of our Wednesday program. We'll talk with Jeff poor on the way next as he lays out his Wednesday schedule for us. That's on the way right here on mobile mornings. Alright. Good morning. Dan and Dalton FM talk when it was six, five mobile mornings also the D and D CFB show Friday nights. Hey, don't be laughing. You made this. I named Paul. Yeah. It's part laziness. Yeah. Well, mostly laziness. You're like, right. Needs to be something Dan can understand. So anyway, it's Friday nights, uh, back all about college football and of course, on in a podcast form as well. Yeah. We have a good time. Yep. That's, it's the most fun part of our week almost, uh, almost as much fun as this show every morning. Uh, look at the text line. We were asking and we'll get with Jeff here in just a second, Jeff poor, but we were asking about, you know, early voting, how it's starting earlier than ever, just like the last couple of elections midterm and the last presidential election. And we're wondering if you've had any difficulty with absentee bowl ballots or if you've done early voting in other States, uh, this texture, Robert says, I voted from Italy when stationed there in 1984. It was not a difficult task. We had to vote early, but the process was straight forward over Robert, a lot can change since 1984. I wonder if folks are having that same, uh, same level of extreme absentee ballots and Philip says victim mentality. I think he was talking about what Jean had to say earlier. This texture says voted absentee in 2020 had to go to the courthouse. I was going to be out of town on election day. Uh, it was difficult to cast my absentee vote. And I am not black. All right. Uh, this texture. If 70% of the ballots in 2020 were absentee, why weren't they all counted by the end of the day on election day? I think absentee ballots should be limited as much as possible. And election day should be a national holiday. That is doorman there. The real Sam says, Jean won't text back liberals can't back up almost anything. They say. Yeah, Jean saying that, uh, the whole intent of Alabama voter laws are to make it difficult on black voters. Yeah. In 2020, I saw the seriously, I saw the exact opposite of that from the man who was the engine behind the elections. So if you have proof otherwise, uh, lay it out, lay it out there, uh, and, uh, also Fish River, Frank, uh, referencing our 1,000 pound sister story earlier than one of the sisters arrested at a zoo north of Memphis. They said she had drugs in the vehicle, but didn't name the drugs. I was just wondering if one of them was I was in pick. Mm hmm. Should be. He said, uh, that cracked me up. It pulled off the road. You got a. Oh, it was a big joke. You got to chuckle out of that. Uh, the Jeff Port show on the way next and Jeff's on the line with us right now. Good morning, Jeff. Good morning, guys. Thanks for having me on. Of course. So, uh, who do you have lined up for today? Some good guests. Oh, yeah. Kick it off here. Uh, an IVF doctor, uh, baby McLean, um, also, uh, for the, uh, Alabama, uh, coalition for families, uh, Cornel Bryan, uh, going to join her. So, uh, IVF Donald Trump offering, uh, free IVF if elected. Uh, what does that mean? And we'll get into the discussion there and what else Alabama has to do to kind of fix its own IVF situation. Uh, new stock 93 one, Joey Clark would do, uh, deal with him every Wednesday. And then, uh, my buddy from the Trussell Tribune, Scott Butterm, who's, uh, going to sit in with me next week or this week. Yeah. I had to do the Leland program up in Birmingham, uh, for four hours, uh, until two days this week. Okay. I now, when Joey calls in, is there exhibition driving going on, uh, encircling him up in Montgomery? While he's, uh, on the interview, I know he's been, uh, he's been a little frustrated with the crime up there. He is at, you know, Montgomery, uh, my, my little one and I spent a little time up there. I mean, it, it is, it feels different. It's not like it was, uh, under, uh, Mayor Strange, uh, there's just totally different sort of scenario under Mayor Reed and I, I don't know, they, they got to do something there. Uh, you mentioned the little man and, uh, he posted something like he said, is this where your best friends are? Daddy Montgomery and what was your answer to that? I said, well, uh, I wouldn't say my best friend's son and you can interpret that however you want, but like, he's like, because he knows like a dirt session, I was going to Montgomery every week and he said daddy's going to Montgomery or what he wouldn't say in Montgomery and, uh, not one really sure what that was. So I'll, I'll show you what it is and that's what he asked. Oh, that's the first time he gets been to Montgomery, all your road trips, huh? Yeah. He passed through there on 85, but you never stopped there and, you know, saw the scenery. What were his thoughts on the state house? Yeah. He didn't, he didn't, he needed some fixing. Yeah. So you got to bring him, uh, you have to bring in, who's, who's going to be the, um, uh, who's going to be the sponsor of the state house now? Yeah. Well, the Safari park was probably the most memorable detail of the Montgomery experience for him. Yeah. And I'm glad no one got bit by any drafts or anything in your vehicles. That's, that's good to hear. As far as the IVF and, uh, I'm really looking forward to your conversation here in this first hour with, uh, these IVF, uh, uh, doctors, I guess, or this conversation with, with Trump putting that out there last Thursday and then it was discussed all weekend. To me, he's trying to take along with that and some of his comments on abortion, completely try to take that off the table as much as possible after seeing what it did to Republicans during the midterms. Do you feel the same way? Yeah. I think it's brilliant. Uh, policy wise, I'm not sure, uh, I'm not crazy about free anything from the government, but tactically is, you know, he, uh, well, we believe in IVF and, and then the Adi-Adi-Adi Republicans will want to ban it and that's what the Democrat talking points are to here comes trouble. I want to give you IVF for free. So they, the response from Democrats hasn't really been anything, but oh, he just lies. Big, bad, hard to ban just lies. All he does is lie. You can't trust him. Don't listen to him. He's a liar. He's in between, uh, getting shot at in Pennsylvania. I was talking to Dalton this morning real quick, Jeff. Is that going to have any, the fact that he was shot in Pennsylvania or shot at? Well, that affect the vote towards Trump in that state. I think in that state, I don't know about nationally anymore. Right. Okay. All right. Well, it's a big state. Important state. Thanks, Jeff. Thank you for having me on. More of Jeff Moore's musings on the way and, uh, mobile mornings will be back in 21 hours for our Thursday show on the way.
