Jeff Poor Show - Monday 9-09-24
(upbeat music) From Bucks Pocket to the shores of Orange Beach, at all points in between, an insider's perspective on Alabama politics. It's the Jeff Porshow. ♪ I don't think hang down in this way ♪ ♪ No ♪ - Good morning, welcome to the Jeff Porshow and FM Talk 10065. Thank you for being with us on this Monday morning, 251-3431-06io to be a touch for the show. Text me and let me know what's on your mind. Change sure, you're coming up in about 30 minutes from now. A little bit of news is Representative Strigger, particularly dealing with departmentalist/constitutional carry. Law, he sponsored a couple of years ago. Obviously our sheriff here would like to alter that, but he is a representative Strigger, very skeptical of those efforts. We'll talk about that with him and some other things coming up in about 30 minutes. Dale Jackson, WVN, Yellow Hammer News, will be there at his usual 10 o'clock, or me 1030 spot. And then you can blame him for this radio show or any other of my journalistic opportunities that have come around that I have seized upon. And about the bottom of the 11 o'clock hour from Lanyapp Mobile, Rob Holmer will be with us. So being sure to stay right where you are. Text line, 251-3431-06, let's know what's on your mind if you so choose. Well, you sense this creeping panic. I think, suddenly, Democrats don't do really well with this. Either, and maybe it's because they don't play from behind a whole lot. But you sense a creeping panic over where the state of the race is. So there's a lot of polls out there, and the trend is for Trump right now, okay? Just as it was earlier for Vice President Harris. It's shifting back in Trump's direction. We knew it would at some point, but I mean, they'll shift back in her direction and probably shift back the other way, at least once or twice more. If you keep up with this stuff, you're probably familiar with a guy named Nate Silver, runs the, I believe it's the 538 blog. And how many Calist stories have been done about Nate Silver's prognostications for this race? He was very, right now, he's very bullish on Donald Trump. And I think some people are kind of, and about that, they're not real thrilled about that on the left, and I really even talking about it. But what's going on here, you may ask. So, just to catch you up here, Trump has a 60% chance of winning the Electoral College compared to Vice President Harris's 39.7%, Silver's modelized at 277 to 260 in the Electoral College. And you look at, well, the polls don't really suggest that. Polls suggest something completely different. And right now, it shows Trump far behind, or it shows him on the very, very small lead. Well, how many of you watch like poker on television or play it or, and you look at when they deal and they have the percentages right next to each hand if you're familiar with that at all? And that's sort of what's going on here. Because there's a bunch of different hands that Trump could still play. He's got a bunch of outs here, I guess, is the way to put it. Whereas Kamala Harris, if you look at her, you look at Biden to 2020, they got maybe a shot at Flipping Woods state that they didn't get in 2020, and maybe that's North Carolina. Whereas Trump could flip a bunch of states. I mean, you look at these Arizona, obviously Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia. It's sort of like this. Right now, Harris is a good head, but she has to draw just the right cards to get that inside, that straight, or that, to get that flush or whatever it is that she needs to have the top head. And there are a lot of possibilities for Trump laying there before him. So think of it that way. It's like a poker head. And while Harris right now has a good hand, she has to draw just the exact right, precise cards to win the hand. Trump's got a bunch of other options that he could that would give him the winning hand. And that's sort of where this is right now. I think that's the date silver. It's not like New York Times polls saying that the two were tied in the popular vote. It's going to be an electoral college and blowout if that's the case. So with that, let's put that aside. Well, not when we put it aside, but maybe it'll, you know, that is a, you know, that is a, but maybe let's, you know, that is a reality of the state of the presidential election. You could tell it's starting to kind of pick up and democrat media circles in particular. I think the best outcome for tomorrow's debate, everybody's expecting a gotcha motor for Trump or for Harris. I think it's going to be one of these Royal shock tests. It's not going to do anything. And all likelihood, because this is how these debates typically go. No one looks back at debates and says, Oh, wow, that really changed the state of the race. So we went to the exception of Joe Biden earlier this year. They just like you're sitting in your client or tomorrow night watching this thing. You can probably not going to be moved either way. You're probably going to stick to where you are. And so on and so forth. So what, what, I mean, I'm not, you know, I guess some of us in the media of right left leaning media are anticipating like the gotcha, you know, moment. Some kind of Reagan moment or something to that effect, but I don't think so. Just for the sake of this discussion, I mean, it could, but you're probably going to watch it and you're probably not going to have your mind changed at all. If I'm with the three four three zero one, zero six is how you get touched with the program. How are you feeling about it? Good, bad and different. If you're indifferent at this point, why are you listening to this show, by the way? And I'm like to know that. Oh, see here, the Haitian discussion is really really getting bigger. I mean, it's a we haven't here in Alabama with the Haitian migrants. It's, they're kind of just scattering these Haitians around the country, it seems. There's a bunch of beams out there mocking. Like, I guess there was a report in Ohio of one of the, some woman claimed that one of these Haitian migrator cat and no one's really able to verify this. But it has instigated a bunch of beams. I mean, this is why it's the big, I guess kind of the silly irony of it is Vance talking about childless cat ladies. Yet it is the Harris by an Harris administration that has made it possible or a group of people to be here that might look at your cat as some kind of delicacy. If that's a, that's really a thing, it that really happened. Dallas told it, they're probably eating birds, Canadian geese or whatever. That's just what they do in Haiti. They don't have a stable food supply. So they're eating some of the birds. I'm clearly not assimilating to the local customs of just eating strange cuts of meat are strange. Maybe not strange, but just stuff we don't eat here. But the more they try to scatter this around, and it seems like you're hearing this a lot from sort of red states. I mean, it's going to pick up at some point. Here in Alabama, and I last week was guest hosting up in Birmingham, Silicago, the latest, the field of brunt of this immigration. We had heard reports of Athens up in North Island, but Biosopigra, by the way, where WVN is and also in Albertville, where that's really where the news has been generated about this. And the thing is, it's kind of disappointing. It's no one's able to offer any answers about, well, is DHS doing this? Or are they dropping these Haitians off of Miami? And they just picked a place at random in Alabama, like, what's going on here? Now there's, I think, the incentive here, but then to get work in Alabama, particularly these poultry processing plants, that seems to be the, that seems to be the draw in Albertville. No one knows why Silicago. Silicago is in Talladega County. About 45 minutes to the southeast of Birmingham. Kind of, well, it is. It's between Birmingham and on the Auburn, Opelika area, if you're driving 280, you go right through Silicago. And folks there, I mean, I'm not really sure how to handle it. As I said, the state lawmaker, Ben Robbins talked to him about it, and they're kind of scattered around Talladega County, but no one's getting any answers. Are there more coming? Do we need to prepare? Do we need to find some French Creole translators? What do we need to do here? Well, it's that kind of stuff that really gets people. You have this start coming up in an election cycle. It seems like a strange, strange occurrence. Maybe you just keep these folks in a camp somewhere in South Florida and wait till the election's over. But the more of these stories, it kind of trickle out. I think the more it's going to potentially hurt. Democrats in 2024 or in November 5th, I should say. The, you know, think about it. Well, if it's it's called with Albertville and Athens, Athens in the 5th congressional district, you'll see Albertville on the 4th and Silicago, I think it's in the 3rd, Mic Rogers district. Well, what if they start showing up somewhere in AL2? There's not many swing places in AL2. It doesn't say they start showing up in, like, Greenville, Alabama or Evergreen or Louvern, or even like Phoenix City. What does it do to Shamari figure's chance? I, you know, there's and is it potentially like, could it could it be happening? Or are they looking around on the map saying, hey, let's not, let's not put these migrants here. Whoever makes these decisions within government, if they're making them at all. Thanks a lot. 2513343010, say that. But that remains a big story for now. Governor says she don't know what's going on. The mayor says he's here from the governor, so there's a contradiction there. The mayor of Silicago, that is. We'll be right back. This is a Jeff Ford show on FM Talk, 106.5. "Hello Kansas, we feel fun, let me thank you for your time. You are the four-year week for living. Just to send it all down my line. Hello, welcome to the Jeff Ford show on FM Talk, 106.5. Thank you for sticking around on this Monday morning. Come up in the next segment. Shane Stringer, a good friend from Siturnell, Lawmaker, and police chief in Creola. 25134430106, if you need to get in touch with the show, utilize the text line, doesn't have mena. Imagine that Jeff Ford brings the generic gambling into explain politics. I would expect nothing less. Yes, perhaps. But apparently, if you watch ESPN, it is considered a sport. Just saying. The World Series of Poker. Offed it on the airwaves there. Ah, Terry, when you see the devs flying anti-trup ads over a Michigan football game and then Arbor, you know they're scared. I think that's, maybe there's a kook friend element there. I find these people who fly these planes over stadiums with these messages. There's a guy named Stampede Tuscaloosa that does it. It's just kind of cringe. But I think they are. I think they are. I wouldn't say scared, but I do think they're concerned. And it's this guys, I said this two weeks ago. People are like, "Ah, you're just a, you're just a, you're not right about this." But what about her campaign? What about what they are doing in their strategy makes you think they can win? It's like, it's sort of like Auburn fans, right? We start the season anew. We are very optimistic. You get a good 77 to nothing or three or whatever it was, blow out. And now you think you can win it all. Well, Kamala Harris starts anew. You get the good bounce and suddenly it makes it look like the right decision that she's on her way to winning the presidential election. And that reality sits in. You face an opponent that's not the pushover. You face an opponent that's not and that this, you know, the way the way Auburn fans kind of looked at Cal is sort of how Democrats in the media are looking at Trump right now. The reality is we're going to find that Kamala Harris just isn't that good. So like we found out the Auburn quarterback just isn't that good. The entire Auburn team, I don't know. Despite the home crowd cheering and all the white and, you know, the home cooking there. Despite the media cheering, we're going to find out that this is not a good campaign. It's lacking a lot of things. It's lacking a coherent message. It's lacking the, uh, any sort of atonement or any sort of explanation for their candidates previous statements that are far, far left. And at the end of the day, there's no, I mean, like the ceiling's already there. There's no way to move that ceiling up. Yeah, you hit your ceiling way too early. You can't, you got to put Trump aside and just look at that campaign and tell me it's a good campaign and he can't. It's sort of like this. It's like always comparing, uh, Alabama and Auburn always comparing themselves to one another, but they play a bunch of other games on the schedule and they're just not neither one. This is as good as they used to be. Um, to the spammer, the Haitian story with the cat only proves there's no legal assimilating illegals assimilating coming soon near you, a Haitian food market. I, uh, oh, I don't know what that would entail. Who do or something? Text slide once again, two five, one, three, four, three, zero, one, zero, six, shade and string are coming up in the next segment. Stay tuned. This is the JetPor show, I'll never talk when I was six, five. I found and no one can change my mind, but mama tried. Get on me, wanna know, why do you drink? Hank, why do you grow a smoke? Why must you live about the songs that you've grown? Over and over. Everybody made my prediction. So if I get stoned, I'm just carrying on an old band. Welcome back to the JetPor show. What if I'm talking about, oh, six, five. Thanks for being with us on this Monday morning. Text slide two, five, one, three, four, three, zero, one, zero, six. You wouldn't be in touch with the program. All you gotta do is text me and we will proceed accordingly. Still to come on the program here in about, let's see, about an hour, we'll talk to Dell Jackson, WVNN, and Yale-Ammer News. And in two hours, Landy-Up, Rob Holbert, and we'll talk about this. Is it kind of an oddity the way the Department of Veterans Affairs at the state level is being handled by the governor, by obviously the dismissed ethics complaint. And get everybody kind of up to date. And I'll give you my thoughts on that here in a moment, but I feel like I'm not really dealing with the entirety of that story. But joining us now on the line, he represents you guys in North Mobile County. Some of you guys across the Bay of Baltimore County, but he's also the police chief up at Creole State Representative Shane Stringer. Good morning, how are you? Doing great, how are you, Jeff? Doing well, doing well. Thanks for coming on. We always appreciate your time. We'll just kick it off here. And then you and I talked a little bit about it last week, but kind of out of nowhere. And I don't know, John Sharp, but just cold calling, looking for something here. But Sheriff Bird, merch looking to alter the permitless carry, constitutional carry law that you guys passed a few years back. You're not really keen on this, it seems. But walk us through like maintaining the status quo seems to be where you want to stay. Yeah, I don't think it's going to help, you know, anything to do with law enforcement. I've been in law enforcement for 33 years. And, you know, I don't think that changing the age is going to affect that. I mean, we already have laws dealing with rape, robbery, murder, everything else. The ones that are not going to follow the laws are not going to follow them. And I don't think that we should take the rights of law-abiding gun owners away just so we can arrest a few gun criminals. Well, I guess it's this that they want the ability for our lease of the enhanced ability for some kind of probable cause or whatever they need to do because I think it's just kind of they're trying to draw this correlation or whatever. But I don't think it's necessarily there is one there that with this law being in effect where it is and then this crime way we sort of see in a lot of Alabama's bigger cities. Yeah, you know, and I don't blame sheriff first for thinking outside the box or trying to do whatever. But the fact is, man, when you stop these cars at three in the morning and got a car full of teenagers and it ain't like the only thing that they're doing wrong is having a gun in the car. Almost every time the car wreaks of marijuana or either alcohol, there's no tag, suspended tag, switch tags. You know, there's always problems there that give you probable cause to address that situation and that group of problematic teenagers or even adults. You know, cops work and they've been doing this. They know what to do and what to look for. And the fact is the ones that they're trying to get, you know, they can get because their car is going to smell of marijuana. It's going to be no plate, no insurance. There's lots of reasons to address the problematic people. And that's what we need to do instead of trying to take the rights away from law abiding gun owners so we can arrest a few boats or guns. Yeah. And, you know, we used to talk about this like this that there was a financial incentive for these sheriffs to oppose the per bills carry because they were making money selling these gun permits. But in this circumstance, I mean, that's not necessarily true wanting this tweak. But I tell you what, it just the point here, I guess we need to talk about representative is why you passed the bill, why you believe the second amendment says what it says. And if you start going down this path, right? It becomes a kind of, it kind of eats it to justification to begin with. Correct. You know, the thing is, man, the second amendment don't mention anything about a permit or getting permission from a sheriff to carry a gun. And, you know, we have seen over the last 10 years or so where Alabama lost their next exemption to where law abiding citizens could go purchase a gun. And if you had a permit, that was, you were exempt from having to run the background when you purchased a gun and wait the period of time to get it. Well, the ATF came in and ordered the Alabama sheriff twice. And both times they found a large number of sheriffs were not even running the background checks. And if selling permits, you know, taking the money and selling the permits and in doing so, there were a lot of felons that got permits that people were not supposed to have permits. In return, those people had had those permits were, were able to go in and purchase guns where they could normally not have purchased that gun because they were prohibited. So, you know, we've seen a lot of problems with the permitting system. And they really came to light over the last 10 years. You know, we had 67 counties with 67 different looking permits. And you couldn't really tell, you know, there was no booklet or pamphlet for a law enforcement to show what the permits should look like. And, of course, you could have a fake permit or a counterfeit permit. And you didn't even know that. Most of the permit offices were only open from eight to five in the afternoons. And so, if an officer stopped somebody after hours or on weekends, they had no way to even determine if the permit was still valid. All they could do is take it at face value. And in doing that, you had people that were prohibited that had an old permit or something that was able to drive away with the gun feel that shouldn't have. So, you know, there was a lot of problems with the permit system that kind of led up to this on top of it just being a constitutional right from to get good. This sudden push for for changing this law, I, number one, I think it's not really reading the room. I just don't think there's any appetite for it. And I can't imagine the Alabama, your colleagues in the Alabama legislature even wanting to touch this right now. What's behind all this? I mean, you hear it a lot. You hear it a lot in places where there is there is a crime situation. But, you know, this seems like to be the fall back or the default position. Hey, if we didn't have this law on the books, the things would be a lot safer around here. You know, and I don't I don't think people are necessarily buying yet, but is it I mean, is it just the escape go to do they think people really think that they could make a change here? I really don't know, Jeff. I know that, you know, if it's a money situation, I know that we put the grant in place for shares to apply. They lost money or or whatever. And I know for a fact, that's not depleted yet. So, you know, it's still money there to be gotten. So, if it's a money issue, it's there. The other is, you know, a lot of cities and counties and around the state and country have defunded the police or not supporting the law enforcement community, like they should, which has led to problems in recruiting, hiring and retention. So, they're short handed and, you know, and then then you've got a lot where they're going in and they're they're not policing the problematic areas. I mean, we've got predictive policing, where we can we've got computer programs that will tell us where the majority of the crimes are taking place and kind of helps us to saturate those areas versus spinning our wheels and waste and resources. So, you know, I think if we would focus on that and quit worrying about the, I guess, the politically correct and let's both lead some of these areas, no matter what race they are in the community, I think that we would be a lot better off and address the problems. Joined by Shane Stringer, he's a state lawmaker from citrodale. Representing the other thing, well, when he making this happen to Montgomery, where they passed their own requirements here, that you got to have a, I guess, a photo ID or whatever if you want to carry a gun. I mean, that's not that doesn't seem like that. They kind of defies the spirit of the law you guys passed and it's sort of a strange approach. Yeah, and I think that their attorneys are probably going to be tickled to death with actors. They're going to make a lot of money trying to defend the city over the lawsuits and the challenges that come with that. It's unconstitutional. It's not going to stick. It's not going to uphold and, you know, I don't know if they really believe that it was going to work or it's feasible or if it was just kind of throwing it in our face, the legislature's face or something, but either way, it's just going to cost the taxpayers a lot of money and is not going to accomplish nothing. You know, the fact is, a lot of these Democrat cities and others have got to quit trying to find excuses for why they can't do their job and find reasons why they can. You know, I've talked to sheriffs across the country when I first passed this legislature, even before I passed this legislation and everyone on to represent it, the stringer, we're law enforcement. We are very resourceful. We will find ways to protect our communities within the scope of the law. And that's what we do. I don't expect you to be an expert on any of these cities and every city has its, you know, problems, but they're maybe the address differently. But we'll say, tomorrow they hire you to be the police chief at Montgomery, Alabama. What do you do first there? How do you even go about straight into that situation out? It's going to take a process. But first thing you do is get out and find your community leaders and in every part of the city and work with them to find legal and proper ways to address the crime in their area, which is the same I've done in the other cities I've been police chief and almost everyone that I've been in, you've always got your elders in your community, even the minority communities that won't you in there keeping law in order. That is the primary function of government is law and order. So you reach out to them and you find, get support from them and work on it. You start building your reputation back up and building up the camaraderie and the morale in your department. And you just slowly but surely rebuild it back up. And it's going to take time because of what's happened. But getting taken law enforcement out of some of these minority areas or problematic areas or whatever is not the solution. You have got to have proactive policing in our communities. And like I tell everybody, there's a thin line between policing your community and harassing your community. And you definitely want to make sure you're not harassing your community. So there's ways that it can be done under the proper leadership. And maybe Montgomery needs to find somebody that's willing to make excuses while they can, or reasons why they can do their job instead of excuses while they can. Well, how about this though? Is there, you're sitting here today when you guys get back next year in Montgomery for session. And yeah, you know, what's left to be done at the state level? Well, I mean, can you pass any more laws? Is there, you know, you see what a reading room at barfoot want to do with like opposing some kind of like Alabama Accountability Act. But that seems to be kind of mixed. I don't know, still like that can get through it. What's, is there are there any remedies that are so what? Well, I think first and foremost, we've got to address mental health. You know, mental health is the root of all problems. I mean, we've seen it with the Georgia school shooter and in other areas across the country. I mean, we've got to address that. And if we can address that, that's going to take care of a lot of it. But you know, we're going to see a lot of legislation come at that gun, in my opinion, that going to blame the gun for the problem. It's not the gun. It's the people. I mean, people with an evil heart are going to find a way to to inflict harm in some shape, form or fashion. If they don't have a gun, it'll be a knife or a car or whatever. So we're going to have to, well, we're going to have to really work hard this session and take a close look at a lot of the pre-filed bills that's already out there. And some of the others that will be coming and let's try to come up with a way to sensibly address this and fix our problems without, you know, taking shortcuts or trying to take shortcuts. Yeah. And, you know, the people in these communities, they're, they're just looking for answers too. And I, you know, you would think there would be some kind of visceral pushback against what these some of the lawmakers want to try. But representative, it sounds to me like that there's a lot more, I guess the point is elections have consequences in these cities. If you keep elected, these kind of mayors, you're going to get what kind of comes with it. But I think you're starting to see a trend, at least some rumblings in the bigger cities at Alabama against this sort of, out of the era of George Floyd and the response to it. And they're kind of ready to get back to maybe the way things used to be done when, when, you know, it wasn't the best of circumstances, but it sure was a heck of a lot better than it is right now. Yeah, absolutely. You know, I think that we've got to look, take some common sense approach to this. And, you know, we really need some law enforcement leaders across the state that's willing to step up and say, we are going to protect our citizens. We're not going to tolerate any crap from. Do we lose you representative? We may have a lost representative strager there. Yeah, he dropped anyway, we're going to get a break here. Be right back. This is the Jeff course show it up and talk. 106 five. We're going to do what they say can be done. We've got a long way to go. And it's short time to get there. Time is kind to. Have a real over morning. Up from San Antonio. Everything that I got is just what I've got on. Welcome back to the Jeff course show it up and talk 106 five. Hey, just stay with us on this on this Monday morning to five one three four three zero one zero six. It was a long go. It was a long weekend guys. The reason I forgot to mute my phone. It was a long weekend for me. So we're catching up here after a trip to the planes that didn't go to. Well, ask him about. I should ask. Sorry, Senator. I missed asking him that question about stopping fresh. Let's go see Chris. I'll bet you 20 pushups that she has the questions that are going to be asked into the bait referring to vice president Harris. Maybe she does. But I don't I don't think her performance. I don't think she is. She could have a the answers to the questions and try to put together the best performance. But we're sort of an electric right now. It's like this. So your mind's made up probably. And if your mind isn't made up, you're not really judging anybody on policy. It's it's all. It's all stylistic. It's it's it's going to be appearance, uh, statics. She's just got to put together like a good acting job and not get trapped in her own, like circular or in salad. She's got some issues to overcome and she's she's done it before. That's just what you need to know. This is what's important. That she can she's shown in past debates. She's had some good moments and she's had some so so moments. But that's the most likely outcome tomorrow night, Chris is as such, even if she has the answers to the question. People are just going to walk away from it. Well, I might say change. Nope. We know what you're getting. It's sort of like this. And, you know, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, you know, ever since we started doing debates. There used to be some subtle differences between the two parties. I think the two parties now are more ideological and you're you're not really looking at the you're right way or left wing. There's no, like, I'm a moderate. You may be moderate on the issue or two here and there, but I mean, there's sort of this traditionalist view of America that we adhere to the culture that has, you know, been with us for decades and decades. And then there's a hey, we need to change these things. We need to start having, we should start having like genderless culture, no, no men or women signs on the bathrooms, boys playing girls sport, everybody is equal, regardless of biology, regardless of anything. And things sort of break down from there. But nowadays, people know, so they know where they stand in life. Well, very bad. This is Jeff Porchola from Talk1065. I keep a close watch on this heart of mine. I keep my eyes wide open all of them. From Bucks Pocket to the shores of Orange Beach, at all points in between an insider's perspective on Alabama politics. It's the Jeff Porchola. I don't think he ain't done it this way. Welcome back to the Jeff Porchola from Talk1065. Good Monday morning to you. Text slide 2513430106 hit me up there. Got a bunch of them to get to. We will do those shortly. Coming up, Dale Jackson to be V&N, about a half hour from now, to be V&N a radio station in Huntsville, with actually more like the towers of Decatur, so probably that's more appropriate to describe it as a Decatur station. But North Alabama. And then finally in that 11 o'clock hour, buddy, Rob Holburn. We're not talking about this. I don't even know. The Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs, and there are some people down here in our way that are just. They are ready to go over this. The governor taking the board member, Kilpatrick, off the board, and they call for the resignation of the Secretary of Veterans Affairs or Kit Davis, Admiral Davis. And it's kind of comes down to this. I mean, there's a turf war between the ADV aid, Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs and the Alabama Department of Mental Health. There's substantial money involved, opioid settlement, et cetera. And the governor, really what had happened, an interagency squabble. And it looks like the governor's picture side, and despite the governor having picture side, the other side persisted. And with as far as filing an ethics complaint, as we know, we got dismissed. And you have this kind of pettiness going on, I think, all across the board here. It's not really helpful to the cause. But it doesn't matter. It's still ongoing. I feel like the governor, then maybe I'm totally off base here. I don't know. But I feel like the governor, whenever you get on her bad side, whenever you defy her wishes, let's say, that you can be incompetent, see John Cooper. You can be corrupt. You can see the prison system. As long as you do what the governor tells you to do, it'll be fine. And half the time she's not really even had that hands on. However, she says, like, I want to do this, and then somebody in state government says, no, I want to do this. And let's say, for example, the secretary of early education, remember she had these books, this literature that was woke, and the governor didn't want anything to do with it. This individual decided to proceed, you know, as if that didn't matter and the governor cut her loose. We talked about this last week on the show with our returning champion. They said her alien who got removed from a board or the a trip to committee, because he wasn't on board with the goofy $6 toll on the I-10 bridge, and she got upset. She got her feelings hurt. She removed him and put Vivian Davis figures on the board. I think this was going on here. To be honest, I think she said, this is the way I want to do this and you're going to do it my way. I went to Alabama Department of Mental Health, playing quarterback here. Now, put that aside from, like, you know, well, what's the best policy here? She doesn't care. That's not important to her. You follow her chain of command. You do what she tells you. All right, there's our precautions. So we'll see this little kind of political skirmish. It's fascinating because establishment, Montgomery, all these lawmakers are kind of team Ivy here. I just got a statement from Charles Murray, who is the speaker's flag. Legislative leaders, issues, joint statements supporting Governor Ivy's call on a TV commissioner, Kid Davis, to resign. And it cites Alabama legislative general fund chairman, Greg Albright, Rex Reynolds. The chairman of the Senate Veterans and Military Public Safety Committee, Andrew Jones, chair of the House Military Veterans Affairs Committee and Oliver. And they say, hey, you got to go, Admiral Davis. And throw in Greg Reed and Nathaniel Ledbetter, the pro tem of the Senate and the Speaker of the House. Not a lot of support up in those circles in Montgomery. However, you talk to people down this way. You know, the people around the state and they tell you that the system is a, you know, kind of a, there is just a gross grab of money here, grab of power. I don't know what to tell you other than, well, we'll see you play out, but the governor is going to win this one. Elections have consequences. She's the governor. And even when she should take a hit, she doesn't really take a hit. She's a lame duck governor. What's the worst thing that's going to happen to her? But if we're just matching toe for toe, you know, this is, this is. We get the government. We just we deserve. A. K. Ivey's made her decision. But removing a board member, John Kilpatrick, and then this Kent Davis, who was asked for his resignation last week, and he declined. Now there's an emergency board meeting tomorrow. I'll be interested to see if there's any kind of protests or anything like that. There seems to be a lot of energy on the other side of this, but all the people with all these elected officials and bureaucrats seem to be on team Ivy. Let me know what state two, five, one, three, four, three, zero, one, zero, six. I can use a Haitian or two in my neighborhood. The crazy cat lady on the quarter is getting a bit out of hand. That's from Michael. Maybe these Haitians can be rented out for a neighborhood cat control program. You're not taking into accountability. The American voter, every Harris ad says Trump embraces Project 25 is going to be a dictator. And maybe more things take it out of context. The other four voter will eat garbage up and vote for Democrat. I don't know that's true. Maybe some, maybe a few. But I don't think that's entirely true. She's a lot of these ads, but it's just white noise to people. Truck texture. Already is the only thing that did get intercepted. Auburn last Saturday, L.O.L. Ebo. You are drunk this morning. Aria. That wasn't me. That was spell checker. Terry. Once when someone of the integrity tries to shed light on anything that can behavior in this state, they get fired and slender by political hacks. I don't know Terry. I don't understand. Was it probably a wise decision to file an ethics complaint against the Alabama Department of Mental Health? Did you think you would get justice in the ethics commission? Why would you ever have any sort of faith and confidence in this ethics commission? But the chain of command goes as such and these are military people. She's the governor and you kind of should do what she says, I guess, but that doesn't mean we can't criticize her. And we should criticize her. There's a way to do it. I think. Admiral Davis. And John compattro much better standing right now. They had to try to undermine the governor's authority. That there would be sufficient public backlash. Hey, what are you doing here? You're giving it to just this. We don't know woke. I mean, go look at the Alabama Department of Mental Health social media. And you'll see how like it's clearly trying to be woke and trying to be hip or whatever. Just look at what they use money for what they talk about mental health. Or do we want to put this opioid settlement toward veterans? I think had they not tried this like sort of trick play. To undermine the governor or her wishes that is maybe not her personally. We just stand here today and what the hell is the governor doing? Removing these people. These good people. But instead it's going to be like, well, there's we can't have somebody. It's not playing team ball on the team. Terry also asked which accent is. Come on going to use it to debate the debate. I bet it changes at least once. Judd, the problem is what if I pro life and really deliver unions? One is nothing to do with the other issue such as abortion or not on the twenty twenty four ballot. You vote for the person who believes is most likely to approve your position. But even if that your person loses, you still have the right to oppose the witness position on the issue. Even a supporter's power at you and public at a protest saying words like we won. So if you are, you do. But I find it to be this. I mean, the media do this. And this is why you have this perception, John. That all Trump supporters, it's like a monolith. They're like, oh, yeah, I'll speak and read out of the same hymnal and talk the same way. And they all live in the same trailer park. I don't know like the way the airport trade and that kind of. That that stereotype is what you're running into. You're pro life and friendly to labor unions or labor and unions. Which is, I don't think that's necessarily a contradiction. I think you share that all in the Midwest. But people don't necessarily vote social issues like they once did or if they're voting social issues or on the other side of the social issue, they're voting for gay marriage and there. I mean, there's, you know, a lot of times these pro lifers just stay home lately. They're they're no governor, we must connect you with her Democrats that she used to be in the red state in this red state because she is not running for election reelection again. I just think it's personal with her like you just don't get on her bad side and do what she she has certain expectations or you're you're not on if she's like, I don't ask much. Like you could be corrupt. You could be incompetent and bad at your job, but you will do what I tell you to do. So call leaders of a governor as worthless as the blue haired old lady governor from Jerry. Matt morning, Jeff, the fact that a lot of these politicals are coming out. Countdown to the governor makes me wish that the board and the veteran groups and advocates will dig their their heels in and hold up to hold the line. Obviously, so does not right. And they need to stand up to her. Then once again, Chris writes this social media do what you say because governor Ivy is a head. You know what in charge. She is. And for some reason, she has commands a lot more respect to governor Bentley ever did and probably even it rightly before him to five one three four three zero one zero six will be right back. This is the Jeff fourth show at a hip talk. One of six five. I didn't mean to treat you bad. Didn't know just what I had. But honey now. And don't make my brown eyes. Don't make my brown eyes. Don't make my brown eyes blue. Welcome back to the jump floor. Showed up and talk about a six five. Thank you for staying with us on this Monday morning to five one three four three zero one zero six from y'all hammer news and WV and N. News talk up in Huntsville. Bill Jackson, come up in the next segment. So please stay tuned for that. Back to this governor dust up and tomorrow there's going to be a board meeting. So I guess like if you're preparing for the presidential debate, you'll get to at least to see some high drama with the Department of Veterans Affairs and the this board the way this works in Alabama and maybe it should be a cabinet position. But it isn't the commissioner of the Department of Veterans Affairs or the commissioner of Veterans Affairs is appointed or is he's appointed to the board by a or he's appointed to that sponsor commissioner by board. And what has going to have to happen here. The governor asked for. Davis is right in the nation tomorrow. There will be a board meeting, but the dirty little secret here is the governor gets to pick who's on the board. So really it's. Your governor's really your boss by like one degree of separation. And she's called a board meeting. And it really is this this turf war between the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Mental Health. And the mental health commissioner Kimberly Boswell who's there's a lot of accusations out there about who she is taping up with who she's working with. And it's a turf war over money money for mental health. The opioid settlement, I think some are some are put money. The allegation here is that the commissioner has misappropriated federal are put money and it's going to get Alabama in trouble with the feds. However, they insist the other side the the pro the team can't Davis side insist that this is just a money graph. That's just being that's just a excuse or whatever to relieve him of his duty. And there's a lot of ground soil support outside of establishment Montgomery on the Davis Kilpatrick side. Now you look at this and you think about all the problems in the state and why is this dust up commanding so much attention makers from the governor. The media not really paying that close attention to it in the state, but it's it's it's it's a fascinating turf war to watch from my perspective. But I just think it's a matter of this is my take. You got to do what the governor tells you she wants you to do something she's she doesn't ask much. You just look at the Alabama Department of Transportation. Look at the Alabama Department of Corrections. You know, any state agency educate go down the list of the state agencies. That are under the governor's umbrella. And just look at all the problems DHR and whatever. This is where we're going to what this is where we're going to have this fight like once and for all who is in charge here. May not be a good look for anybody, but I don't think it's necessarily a good look for the government. It does I think send a message to a lot of bureaucrats out there. Hey, I don't think you want to, you know, if you're appointed by a board or you're appointed by her. I don't think you want to get on her bad cycle. She was she gets in it. She's in it to win it. But we'll see. Like I said, there's a lot of support on the other side. Will this what will this look like tomorrow in Montgomery for those of you keeping track of this. Rob Holberg, we're going to talk about that later on with him. He has a much better understanding of this. I read his Sunday brunch newsletter. And like if you're listening to the mobile mornings last week, like he's talking about this story. And then later, a few hours later after his appearance. The ante is up with the removal of John Capatrick and the the request for a resignation of Kid Davis. Let's get a break in here week. We'll be right back. This is a Jeff Moore show. And if the clock was 065, right up over Spanish for it into Mobile, my hometown. Mr. T. Oh, yes! [Music] When I'm back to the Jeff Moore show at FIT Talk, what a 65. Thank you for staying with us on this Monday morning. Text line 2513430160 to be in touch with the program. All you got to do is text me. Joining us now on the line from Huntsville, WVNN, and Yellow Hammer News. You can read it online at yellowhammernews.com. Dale Jackson. Good morning, Dale. How are you? I'm excited. I'm thrilled to be here. We got a debate coming up this week. It couldn't be any better. How wonderful, how great, how beautiful. Let's go, as the kids say. It's kind of exhausting, isn't it? It isn't a way. Yeah, I like it. It's not this week. Did you do it next week? That's just me. I have no expectations for that. I guess it could go either way. Everybody says, "Well, Donald Trump's going to be disappointed in everything, but everybody's anticipating she's going to have her moment." It's never -- these debates are never quite like we expect them to be. I don't think something always kind of -- something always happens. Yeah, we're always expecting to have some sort of big moment. I'm speaking. Apparently they're not going to get that moment, so they're going to have to have some other contrived Kamala Harris powerful woman moment. Donald Trump has to decide which Donald Trump does he want to be. The one that looks at them and says, "I have no idea what that person just said." Or the person that says, "You're the fake Indian. Which one does he want to be?" And does it really matter at the end of the day? I think this one matters a lot, just like the last one mattered a lot. Well, the last one, Jeff, I mean, let's be real. The last debate was the most consequential presidential debate in American history. There's no other way to look at it, especially if Trump wins. Maybe if he doesn't win, it's still the most consequential. People talk about the Nixon and Kennedy debates. There's a lot of debate about how many people actually saw it on TV and whether or not the media just spun a narrative about how haggard Nixon looked and everyone else just went along with it, just like, "Viam, almost unwinnable war!" Or, "No, that's true." But we just had guys tell us that and everyone's like, "Yeah, that's the way it is." And our people in our journalism classes told us Walter Cronkite was a journalist. And I think that's a lie too. So you never know what you can trust from the past. We're living it though right now. Right. No, weird debate in June with the presidential election not until November. I mean, it may be the most consequential, but I mean, it wasn't in the heat of the election cycle type of debate though. Yeah, I mean, that's true. I mean, you're absolutely right. But, I mean, look, Donald Trump either knocked out Joe Biden securing himself a victory or securing himself a defeat. No, that's really it. I mean, that's as simple as it is. If he knocked him out, I mean, he just showed he wasn't an inevitable powerhouse. If he knocked him out and he loses, then it shows that he knocked out the weaker enemy and she came in and stomped the yard. I mean, that's all that matters. That's what we're in. Yeah, they're going to, like, slay Queen Kamala Harris. I mean, it's whatever. There was just no way they could make it a Rorschach test with Biden. I mean, it was really bad last time. I mean, just think about this. They did a thing on, I think it was CNN, where they asked all their political analysts how it went and, like, a half of them said Trump won, and I think the two-thirds of those that were left said it was a draw, which it clearly was not, and then the other, like, one-third said Biden won. And, you know, when you get numbers like that, you know it's a blowout, right? So, I mean, that's, it was sort of inevitable. I mean, look, I look at these things sort of like I look at elections. You've got to win by big enough dumb margin that the other side can't cheat. I mean, that's basically how you have to do it. Yeah, I would agree with that. Yeah. So, I mean, that's basically where we are in all of this. So, I had one that was watching that night. It was watching MSNBC, and, like, you could tell that they were actually kind of being a little honest about it and how all their, like, quote-unquote, sources were telling them that they had problems, and CNN must be in the news network for dumb people. I mean, yes, I think that's probably true. Yeah. Well, anyway, you're kind of perusing your Twitter feed in my preparation for this segment. Yeah, big believer in the Nate Silver forecast. I'm not a big believer in it, but I think you saw on Twitter where I said he got it less wrong than everyone else in 2016. He had, his predictor had Hillary Clinton winning 71 out of 100 races. The New York Times, I think, had Hillary Clinton winning 92 out of 100 races, you know, that's what it actually means. It doesn't mean the polling was showing 92 to 8 or anything like that. And look, he has Trump up at 63, and your premise, I can't wait to see how you're going to wiggle out of this, Jeff, but your premise has always been, you know, and you're not wrong here, but your premise has always been, if I'm correct, the pollsters and guys always get it wrong against the conservative, against the Republicans, especially against Trump. Well, I was getting wrong in that direction and that's the case. Mike, Mike Quibble said, and maybe the outcome is right or wrong, it's not necessarily that. I think they do the methodology wrong. I think that they put an emphasis on Democrat voters, and here's what I think some of these models are showing, you know, what they're trying to do with this modeling with these pollsters, some of them probably think they're going to get Obama era turnout. She's black, she's a female, and we will see, because of that, really higher, much, much higher African American turnout, probably something that is comparable to Obama in '08 or '12. I don't know that that's true. And I think before this now, I always saw when they tried it with Hillary and Biden thinking they were going to get Obama era turnout, because that's what some of these polls did, like Quinnipiac and so forth, it just didn't come to be, and that's where they got off track. Now, does Kamala Harris drive out Democrat voters like who better than Hillary better than Biden? But is she up there with Obama? I don't think so. Well, I mean, that's your premise, and I tend to agree with you. What do you think about Nate Silver, Mr. Smart guy? It's a little too rosy for Republicans, I think, but if you listen to him talk about it, and he will say this, he will say that there is a margin of error in some of the polls is bigger than the actual state of margin of error when it comes to determining the voter enthusiasm for, for example, for Trump, some of these pollsters have these political scientists have a hard time with this notion, Dale, that there are actually people out there who will go enthusiastically for Trump. I mean, just think about your average intellectual that designs these polls, and they look at humanity, they look at the population in a much different way, like how could anybody possibly vote for that man, and while they will ask and they put forth an honest effort, I think to try to determine like an accurate number, it's just their worldview is in their way. Yeah, but if that's the case, I would also say that Nate Silver's worldview is generally in his way as well. Well, I think he is trying to update his worldview. Now, maybe he's overcompensating for it. I think that's true, but my point that I was making was not necessarily that he is leaning towards Trump, but he leans the other way and you're saying that he's overcompensating maybe a little too much. Right. Like he's overcompensating for his own bias or he's looking at these polls and he's trying to it's it's almost like too cute, but he's kind of basic it. Oh, well, they got it this wrong in 20, they got it this wrong in 16. And therefore my model thinks it'll grow this way. It did. They'll get it this wrong in 24. Now, all I know is this. If you are Kamala Harris and you're looking at this, you got to know that this ain't looking too good for you. Okay. That's what I've always said though. Like, what do you, and fair enough, I mean, what does she do if you're Kamala Harris and you look at her campaign right now, I mean, like, what, what makes you think she's capable of a self correction sort of thing it now the debate is going to change things perhaps. But let's, let's just play 50 50 chance that could go either way. Let's just assume that when you and I are talking on Sunday after the debate that nothing really changed in the race, it was just kind of whatever you wanted to get out of it, which is a good chance that will happen. So we're on this trajectory with the Harris campaign. What do they need to do to put themselves in position to win the White House? And I don't, I don't know what, I mean, I wouldn't know what to tell them. Yeah, I don't know either. And I, like you said, I think we're all going to take whatever we want out of this. That's probably correct. And I don't see, I don't see much much happening, which just goes back to my earlier position of if you're going to, if you're going to play this game and you're a Republican, you better win so big that you can't really do that. At least got to win big enough to where it's like five boxes in Detroit or Philadelphia are Milwaukee. Is it going to change the outcome of the election, right? That's what they, they are Atlanta. They got to make sure that they have a big enough lead that there's no, I mean, if Trump wants to buy 100,000 votes, they're not going to turn up 100,000, you know, just random Democrat votes. Right. That's hard to do. You know what I mean? The Republicans are self-defeating. I mean, I, if you go and you read the comments on my Facebook post on that, you'll see a whole bunch of like, oh, well, there's all who counts votes, Republicans are screwed anyway. Republicans can't win anything. It's like, God, you guys are losers. Like, listen, you're talking. Listen, listen to, listen to this behavior. Let me have this self-defeated attitude here that doesn't do anybody any good. Not even, I mean, no, unless you're Trump and you're running scared, and I don't think he does that. I have people, this is show right now, Dale, that say that I got to vote because it doesn't matter anyway. Yeah. Well, those people are called morons, Jeff. Elections are rigged and it's it's a pointless a waste of my time. Stop convincing me. They're morons. I already said that. I mean, that's. Is that a real thing, though, because everybody says, well, that's going to call Trump the election. But I mean, like one out of 100 people actually think that way. I don't know. I don't know. That's 1% right. I mean, I don't think it's that high. I don't think it's that high. I mean, anyone saying that is just an idiot. I mean, there's just no other way to put it. I hate to name call because, you know, I just hate doing that. It's just if you're if you're out there making that argument as an excuse not to do something, I question your intelligence and I think this. Maybe you should stay home. Maybe you should. Yeah. Maybe. Maybe you should. I just. A lot of these people must be talk radio listeners because there's there's quite a few in my small audience who say this and I get it on the text line on a regular basis. Well, that that's I mean, I don't know why you've said to me up to call your listener stupid. But that's a stupid thing. I mean, like do you see that in your audiences? I don't know. I don't I hear it occasionally and my response is, wow, that's stupid. So maybe I hear less of it. So I don't know. I think maybe there's a little bit of, you know, you you kind of push that away. It's not giving it to you. So I don't know. I don't know. I think that that mentality is I mean, it's just like they cheated me out of everything and they've done it all. So I'm never going to try again. I just don't know if I buy that. I just don't. I don't do people think that way. Don't actually join us here on the line. Last question. I got to switch to topics here this these Haitians there seem to be showing up everywhere now silicaga and I mean, I was filling in last week in Birmingham and I had the local lawmaker there, Ben Robbins, like no one's getting any answers on this. There seems to be a lot of kind of hysteria around it, but also there's a lot of people there that are like, no, these people, there's nothing to see here. Don't be racist and go about your business. Yeah. Oh, that's it. Don't be racist and go about your business. Look, if you're standing up at a meeting in Alberville and saying they smell differently, people are going to call you a racist. Yeah. I mean, it's just don't do that. Don't do that. I mean, you got to be smart about this and how you handle it. If you're saying there and saying, Hey, look, we don't want our school systems. I mean, I thought Abra Adderhold, Congressman Adderhold from the 4th district made a really great point. He's like, do you even know what language they speak? Do you know, do you know what language Haitian immigrants speak? Do you know, Jeff? Yeah. It's a French Creole. All right. How many other people do you speak French Creole? None. Okay. What do you think the schools in Hayleyville have a French Creole translates? So I mean, you have all these and I say that in sort of like a silly way. But I think he makes a really great point when he says that because how do you deal with that? I mean, how in the world do you deal even if you have one, now you've got to bring in a French Creole translator of some kind and not only are you having to figure out how to teach that child, you're also having to figure out how to teach that child English. So you've got all these different problems that you're creating and then what about your police force? Well, indeed. Do you have a translator there? This means French Creole. I mean, just the language alone, you got a little bit of a problem here and you know what? I think it's also okay. I mean, call me a bigot if you want to. I think it's okay for me to stand up and say, um, I don't want my community to change like this. Let me show you. Let me tell you what's going on here. We too. And my point is, I don't think we should be subsidizing Pilgrim's Pride. Yes. I mean, I'm sorry, I'm glad they're an employer. But if this is what they're going to do, then are they really in that benefit to the community? No, to hell with them, right? Yeah. Do you have people like Archbald and, um, I don't know who else. So what's this a Roy Johnson or whoever and they're making a big deal about it, but it's nothing but a cheap labor play for these chicken processing plants who are not good stewards in a community at all, especially the environment and what they, instead of paying whatever the going wage, wages in, uh, Albertville or, or Silicon or wherever they are showing up, and this is what draws these people there and instead of paying the going wage to hire locals, because what, what could it possibly be in Marshall County? It can't be like, you know, really highly California or something, but still they, they bust in labor to, uh, you know, to use these people's employees. And meanwhile, here's the, the dirty little secret. If you go look at Pilgris pride and how much money the state of Alabama has given them to put their processing plants and they give them tax abatements, they, they install their water and sewer infrastructure, they do all these things to bring these companies in with the idea that they're going to give job, job, jobs, but instead they're just bringing in labor from elsewhere, people should be upset about that. Yeah. And it's just a, a, it is, you know, don't use our natural resources to, uh, exploit our community. Uh, don't do that if you're just going to bring in people from, uh, other countries to work there. I mean, I'll put it like this. If you're going to hire Bubba, then we should help you. If you're going to import people to compete against Bubba, then no, no, it's wise wages down in the entire community when you do that. So if you're a walk worker at Walmart and they say, Hey, you can go work in the chicken plant. It's nasty, gross work, but we'll pay you twice as much. Well, then Walmart has no incentive to raise their wages or whatever local employers are there in Albertville. It depresses wages across the board when they do this because they're just importing cheap labor and you have to look at the entire, like, kind of local economy of wages and supply and demand. And it is just a, there's a lot of other like reasons that aren't as obvious as why this is bad policy. I've also, uh, apparently in Springfield, Ohio, uh, they're eating their pets. Well, yeah. Ducks and cats and dogs. And they're like, don't say that. You're not allowed to say that. It's like, uh, here's a woman getting arrested for eating a cat and it's like, what are they? That's really awful. Well, I don't know. The whole point here is simply this, the idea of why you put up with places like chicken factories and cat food factories and things like that is because it creates employment opportunities for your young people and it creates employment opportunities for people who are unskilled. And you know what? Cool. I'm down with that. I think it's a thing. It's a damn good idea. But when you start saying, well, we're not even going to get them to work here anymore. And we're going to start importing labor from third world countries. Sorry. No, that's not. And this whole thing. Well, there are asylum seekers. They came here illegally. No one's even debating that. They showed up at the border and they said asylum and they said, you son of a bitch, come on it here. Yeah. You know, that's what we've done. And it's just like, it's ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. This is not for the best of the country at all. The objection folks will find you online. They will talk to you. And argue with you, whatever it may be, how can they do so at the Dale Jackson on Twitter Facebook, YouTube, you can give me that way. You can listen to me on radio stations across this great state and on TV on the weekends. And apparently if you're walking around Tuscaloosa and then there's a guy on game day wearing Florida stuff. He is your guy. All right. I had a guy. I had one guy come up to me, Jeff, and say, hey, you must look really close here because this is the second weekend in row. I've seen you. I don't like that. Well, I'll be right back. This is the Jeff Port show on FM talk one, oh, six, five. I don't want to wake up looking into someone else sitting here at the floor and pam about to open up a big old can. Welcome back to the Jeff Port show that from talk one, oh, six, five, I just stick it with this on this Monday coming up in the next hour, Rob Holbert from a land. Yeah. Making a rare, but semi rare parents on the program, obviously we got hot and heavy with the album, department of veterans affairs. We're going to do that with him. More your text, two, five, one, three, four, three, zero, one, zero, six, keep them coming. We do appreciate the feedback and a texture. First of all, Kamala is not black. Well, these people say the first blackboard president are full of it. She should make it at India. I don't know. I'm then going to say she's of African descent. That's the Jamaican lineage, but that's it's such a I don't think that's a winning point. It doesn't do anything but really stir up conservatives that will vote for Trump anyway at best, but we could just agree to disagree and then this time to move on. I'll be right back. This is a Jeff Moore show. I've been talking about it. One, two, six, five. I'm going to be a single rock of rain. What I will. From Bucks Pocket to the shores of Orange Beach at all points in between an insider's perspective on Alabama politics. It's the Jeff Porsche show. I don't think I'm done in this way. Welcome back to the Jeff Porsche show enough to talk about a six five. Thank you for being with us on this Monday morning. Our number three begins right now. So the cop Rob Holbert from blade. Yeah. That's about a half hour. So please stay tuned for that. We'll get some of your texts two, five, one, three, four, three, zero, one, zero, six. Okay. My two big topics this morning are the debate sort of my preview, my hot take, my analysis and the state of the race right now. I'll talk about Nate Silver's prognoxication at the 69.7% chance Trump wins, 30% chance that Kamala wins and a point three, something else happens that seems to be what he's saying. But it's not a, that's not a poll. This just chances of winning. And earlier I used like a poker analogy, you ever watched the world series of poker when it's on TV or these like televised poker tournaments and you look around the table and all of the hands and then there's like a percentage right next to each poker hand. Like who's got this percentage to win? And that's, that's what the Nate Silver forecast is. The polls, they say this, but Trump has a better chance of flipping other states that Kamala Harris's campaign does. The least thing she can really flip right now is North Carolina, whereas Trump is theoretically could win 80 number of states. I mean, a long shot in New Mexico and Minnesota. Start getting closer in. You could see maybe Nevada, you look at Wisconsin, I'd say Michigan, and then the chances get better with Pennsylvania, Arizona and Georgia. Well, Harris has to draw that inside straight, pick up all those, most of those states. I think maybe she could leave one on the table. Whereas Chuck just has to pick up a few of them. And you look at the probability of that and that sort of factors into what Nate Silver 538 blogs says. So we got that and we got the dust up with the governor and what will probably be the last hurrah of the Veterans Affairs Commissioner, Kid Davis, a lot of, a lot of strong feelings on the Davis, Kilpatrick side, but establishment Montgomery is lining up behind the governor. I've gotten text messages and listen to interviews all week. This is the governor's fight and she's determined to win it and these lawmakers seem to be wanting to get on board with the governor. You can read 1819 news, 1819news.com, or try to add some balance to this. But there's a lot of upset people out there and it's kind of strange to me, we're not really, the media don't seem like they're covering both sides. Well, I say this. The media probably don't care. I mean, it's a big deal to a lot of people, but every so often you have the governor needing to make a statement. This is where the statement sort of news cycles with her to show that she's in charge. She's the winner of the election and you're going to get on board with her. If you don't get on board with her, if you need to fire, if you try to undermine her will with an ethics complaint of some sort, then you're, you know, it's going to go the other way for you. But it doesn't mean it won't be without some hurt feelings. We'll see how that goes on board meeting tomorrow. We'll talk about that with Rob here at about a half hour. This line we got here, a named texture, guys, I hope I'm wrong, but I believe the bad actors have 10 million plus votes already into to apply whenever necessary, the open border is the source. Not, not really. I don't think so, a name texture like yeah, maybe you have a bunch of illegal immigrants here. They're flying under the radar, but do they want to fly above the radar and get caught on radar to go vote for a Democrat president or they just would rather to work in the shadows. That's why I've always been somewhat skeptical. Always somewhat skeptical of this, these, these, the election's fixed and we got 10 million and it's all illegal voters to look. It's a long term play for the, the left for the Democratic Party. It's the long game. This is it today that they're going to have these 10 million votes. They're going to show up. They didn't show up in the last cycle. It's going to be gradual, but what we're seeing in demographic shifts, yes, but the longer these immigrants are here, it may be their multi generational, they're starting to go Republican. And this was true with like the Hispanics in Florida, which flood communism, but it's becoming true with these immigrants here along the Texas, Mexico border. You're starting to see Republicans have a shot. Now some of that they'll, they'll, they'll fix with redistricting, but there is a shift underway, but they'll, it's a long term play for Democrats. They think the more immigrants they import, ultimately they will vote Democrat. Maybe it won't be these immigrants themselves, but maybe their children. Jerry, those state supported chicken plots also treat their producers like say, yes, there's a great story about that. Erica Thomas wrote at 18, 19 news, 18, 19 news.com, summerdale, Tony writes, I heard the government stopping its citizens to bring companies. On the other hand, as a business owner myself, the pull of people that you would have to hire from on that type of job is very unstable. I can see why they would bus in motivated workers. Yeah, but, but, but some of the telling you're not getting a handout from the state. Well, then I know why maybe you are, but if you aren't getting a handout from the state, that's one thing. But the state is incentivizing you already to locate your facility in this location or any location throughout the state of Alabama for that matter. But I know Pilgrim's pride has gotten state incentives here. You need to be hiring local labor, okay, your business is subsidized by the taxpayers of the state, not for you to make use of a bus stop somewhere, but to hire people here. Well, you should always try to hire locally. Maybe you can't, just as a feasible, but I'd say pay more, these chickenplants need to pay more, so chasing cheap labor at the expense of the taxpayers at the expense of the taxpayers. Terry, just the selection is all about a motion for most that is why we see as such close pulling, those of us who do our own research and work off the facts are left behind. This needs to be the trend for American politics, but I mean, just because you do your homework doesn't make your vote worth more than someone else's. That's, I mean, that's just the reality of it, Terry, they pay taxes just like you. You choose to take it a little more seriously, but not everybody does, that you could be a productive citizen, you could pay your taxes, you could support your family, you even put a little bit of the offering to church, you're just not interested in politics, and sometimes it's on purpose, they just kind of turn you against it by, you know, all the actors and all the controversy. Um, Jim, good segment with the last guest, haven't been able to listen for a while, but the segments seem much shorter in commercials, but you're longer approaching rush standards. Just an observation, no need for a capitalism, a lecture, good show, just not enough. Well, I would, I would respectfully disagree, Jim. I don't know, I've, my, I've been guest hosting a little bit around the state and my segments are pretty long compared, but they should have the kind of words, unnamed texture would, would if amnesty is promised, you mean vote for voted and participated in the election if they promised amnesty. I don't, I don't, I just, I think it's excuse making. Are you saying that, well, we wouldn't want, if it went for all those illegals is excuse making. I think that there is some cheating at times. I think that happens, uh, it's, it's just sort of all elections have some degree or all national elections. I should say presidential elections have some kind of degree of cheating and be it wherever. But it's very, very difficult to rig a presidential election. I, I, 2020 is the closest way ever came to it because they can't move into goal posts. They changed the rules. They use COVID, Democrats use COVID in their advantage because, and I'll explain this to you again, the problem the Democrats have, they may have the numbers. They have a very, the voter that's not as reliable as it's a low information voter. I think people are liberal because they just, they think they know more than they do, but they don't, but to them, yeah, but, but it doesn't, voting doesn't really matter to them in their life getting, you know, if, if you, a tight Taylor Swift tickets to it or something, they go camp out for a month, but such, such as the culture, but the people who tend to say they're Democrat voters, it's hard to get them to the polls. The Democrats will readily acknowledge this. So what do they do? Well, they need more chances to get them to the polls so they expand the voting period. Ultimately, a new texture, say Alabama expanded its voting time, and we had early voting like Florida did or has. It would just get more Republicans out. I think your early voting is a reflection of your state. And in swing states, Michigan, Wisconsin, it probably would draw out more Democrat votes. And Pennsylvania probably does draw up more Democrat voters and Georgia, it may, I don't know, but this is what they did in COVID. They moved the goal post, particularly in Pennsylvania, required a bunch of other states suing the state of Pennsylvania and the Supreme Court just kicking it, punting it, which gave these election fraud deniers, they said, chances say, well, the court looked at it and they said that there was nothing there, therefore, there was nothing there. Two, five, one, three, four, three, zero, one, zero, six, it's one of the most like, if you even like start down that path talking about, well, you know, the 2020 election, there was all kind of like you're talking about democracy. Why do you hate democracy so much? How dare you hate democracy? Go to Russia, you traitor. We'll be right back. The first time I've ever seen a black man, I've never seen a black man. He said something, look back to the chipboard showed up in talk, 106 five. It's interesting with the Sunday, this Monday morning programming note, coming up tomorrow on the show, John Wall, I'll be a Republican party chairman and the goal is to get Carolyn Dobson on again, talking about her race and where she is and maybe encourage some of you to come along on her effort and it gets to be named later, still working on that. We'll see where that goes. Two, five, one, three, four, three, zero, one, zero, six, Michael with the influx of Haitian folks. Is there a chance our local Chinese buff aides are going to end up having to up their prices because the extra competition for their main. The tech sub notes of just or perhaps maybe a implied racism, I don't know, Michael, but point taken. I don't know. This Haitian hysteria, who's more hysterical about this? This is a hysteria by those on the right in these communities. But my lord, the other side, the John Archbalds avail.com and others. The freak out is like, how dare you question these people coming into your community? Bill Britt. It's, it's, it's a, it's a total lack of, well, I don't even know if they think they, I don't think they've given it much thought other than this. Hey, here is something going on in Alabama that involves probably the usual bitter clinger crowd and we get, we, here's our opportunity to shame them and tell them they're wrong. That's, that's all this is, it's like, hey, you got to like, you got to do better here. We don't like it when our community has these unrealized burdens or maybe they're realized birds. You just don't care enough to, you, you just got to put these people somewhere and no, sorry, this is the way it's got to be when what you ought to be doing is re refusing entry into the country or, or whatever it may be. Hand, if you're going to have an asylum seeker status, if you're going to grant people asylum, if you're going to grant, especially from Haiti, which is not great to be in Haiti, but there's a lot of bad places in the world. We're going to take every two bit, uh, 10 bot dictator, uh, lead, uh, countries, refugees in this, in the United States is that, uh, that the state and missionary. If so, I mean, you're, you need to adapt your policy and if you haven't, the Biden Harrison administration has not done anything to, they haven't done anything to make this easier, to make this work, they, they even said that the approach seems to be, well, we have these people here and yes, that they're culturally very, very different, but let's just inject them into communities all over the country and we'll see how it goes. Oh, you want so bad in law enforcement protection? Oh, you want a translator or not? No, sorry. Hey guys, you're on your own. I think there's a legitimate gripe there and then people just don't want their communities changed. I mean, is that, is that fair game? Is that fair? A lot of people would just say, well, no, you have to appreciate all cultures that are different than yours. And if you don't, well, you're just a big, well, I don't have to appreciate anybody's culture. I can acknowledge it, but maybe I just, I don't, I don't want any part of it. Maybe I don't want to see this in my neighborhood. I don't need the worry about, I don't know if they're eating people's pets. I have two dogs. I need to be looking over Hank and Harvey's shoulders to make sure that they don't wind up in a barbecue spit. I mean, if this is true, maybe it isn't. We'll see. This is a Jet Force show at FIMTAK 106.5. And in my hand, excuse me, man, but where's the call? With us on red news, I'm John Scott. The presidential debate is coming up. The 90 minute debate on Tuesday night at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. The ABC presidential debate simulcast live tomorrow evening on the Salem radio network. The National Hurricane Center in Miami says Tropical Storm Francine has now formed off the coast of Mexico with a projected path to approach the coast of Louisiana.
