[MUSIC] >> News, sports, weather from Dr. Bill Williams, traffic info from Kane. And one of the Gulf Coast most familiar voices. It's Mobile Mornings with Dan Brennan and Dalton R. Wig. >> Morning from Dan and Dalton FM talk 10065 at 806. A mobile morning, which is not bad right now. I think it's gonna get worse, sir. >> Coming up, I don't think there's any thinking about it so they get will. >> Yeah, we're gonna, of course the hurricane is good. It looks like a cat wine, it looks like western New Orleans is where it's gonna hit. But we're gonna get some of that for sure. It might even have the, the threat of maybe some tornadoes spinning off it overnight and into tomorrow's, but the weekend looks great, so that's good news. >> Yeah, it'll heat back up and hopefully we won't have any of these to worry about in the near term future. 807 as we start this eight o'clock hour and of course last night all eyes on the two candidates for president in their debate and we have our own very important race here in Alabama congressional district two between the Democrat candidate, Shamari figures and the Republican, Caroline Dobson. And Caroline joins us this morning on Mobile Mornings. Good morning, Caroline. >> Hi, good morning. Thanks so much for having me. >> Good morning, Caroline. And so your impressions of the debate last night? >> Well, you know, there was one candidate on the stage who would have you believe that she represents hope and optimism and totally, you know, did not address failed to descend the past three and a half years in which she has been at the helm of our country. And that was Kamala Harris. She talks about an opportunity economy that she wants to bring to America and that would be an opportunity to pay higher for gas and groceries, an opportunity to feel unsafe in your neighborhoods, an opportunity to watch the American play. So, you know, it was just frankly a little, a little gawling to see someone who's got the things that they're going to do to fix the problems that they created. Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of people not crazy about Trump's style, the left will say that. Meanwhile, Kamala presents her ideas like they're in a children's book. I don't, you know. >> He said that last night, what, run, spot, run, is like he really compared her policies to that. Yeah. >> I didn't even know that. So it's kind of like it's just the way it's just feel good, fantasy sort of just don't judge me about what I've done, judge me on what I say we're going to do kind of things. So that's right, I think he said a dozen times, let me be clear. Let me be clear. Let's be clear. And she could not have been more opaque in trying to hide the ball of the failures of her administration. Look, I mean, we all know that Joe Biden does not have the capacity to lead and has not his leadership as presidency has been illusory. So who's a nice and command? That's her. So all of these policies can be laid at her feet kind of in the same vein, my opponent in this race was part of this administration until he resigned to run for this seat. So a lot of those issues, a lot of his feet, it will be part of Biden's transition team that saw our borders opened and American energy crashed with the closing down of the Keystone pipeline. >> Caroline, it's kind of interesting that disparity between what's expected of presidential candidates and then what's expected of candidates like you working at a more local level in your campaign. It's almost like you have to detail your policy in a much more clear way than these national candidates do. They're sure they're making their way around the country, shaking hands, talking with people, but you and your opponent, I would presume, are getting into real conversations with voters on the ground and they expect answers. And I think if you've done a great job of laying those out during your campaign, you recently made a trip to the border, and Trump made that a central theme last night, immigration, of course. Tell us about your trip. >> Yes, no, I mean, it was, we all know that there's a border crisis. My opponent tries to downplay this because the folks in this district don't care what I'd love to hear him say that to the families that have lost loved ones from fentanyl overdose. I lost my God, brother, my government sent all over to the families who've lost young people at the hands of illegal aliens, like a loser family in Sims earlier this year. And so I wanted to see the problem firsthand and work with those on the ground to try to fix it and really get to the root of the problem. I was a guest of Congressman Tony Gonzalez, his congressional district covers 823 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border, so he's very, very well aware of all the issues and it's truly devastating. It's a humanitarian crisis that has been brought about by the Biden-Harris figures administration. And you know what's also frustrating is that until this administration, administrations on both sides of the aisle had seen the need for investment in border security and a border wall. And there were connections of the wall that had been constructed under the Clinton administration, under the Bush administration, under the Obama administration, and then under the Trump administration. So that was also eye-opening because the left would have you believe that Trump is some monster by wanting to build a wall and how unkind. But I mean the truth is good fences make good neighbors, our sovereign, our very sovereignty is at stake when we don't protect our borders. And look, you know, we also, meaningful immigration reform also means that we need to make the process for legally becoming a citizen, a lot less cumbersome. As it is now, you know, the reality is someone who's trying to legally become a citizen could have to wait, you know, up to a decade. And so that disincentivizes people to actually follow the rules. But you know, that's certainly a, you know, a part of this. But the bigger issue is that this is the administration is the first to stop funding on a wall or barrier and then to just fling open our borders to allow all sorts of criminals and drugs to come across in addition to an estimated 8 to 10 million undocumented immigrants who are straining on our resources. And I certainly don't believe that everyone that comes across the border is a criminal or a bad person, you know, they're probably trying to seek a better life for their family. But when our resources are all ready, incredibly strained, especially in this district, we cannot sustain an influx of 8 to 10 million non-tax payers who are going to be crowding our emergency rooms, our classrooms, and again, all creating, you know, competition for jobs that Americans need. Are there any communities in the district that are dealing with these migrant crises that we're seeing in certain communities in northern Alabama, I don't believe we've got that in district too right now, though we could, I guess. Yes, no, I mean, you've definitely seen the influx here and there, but, you know, on the scale of, you know, what is it? Albertville? Yeah, I'd say up on your gunner's fill in that area. We've not seen that, but, you know, that's what Kamala Harris was bragging about, how she had extended protected status to an additional 100,000, you know, illegal aliens that had to come here, and so, you know, where are they putting them in rural areas? And what is district too made up of a lot of rural areas? So it's certainly not beyond the bounds of imagination that, you know, if Kamala were to be able to continue this practice, that there certainly could be communities impacted in a dramatic way by that policy. We're talking with Caroline Dobbs and the Republican candidate for Alabama Congressional District 2, and that kind of leads me into my next question. You grew up in Munro County, certainly a rural area of the state, your opponent, you could say grew up a little closer to the big city here of Mobile. I'm wondering, you know, like you said, a lot of District 2 is rural. Who would do a better job? You representing folks in Mobile who may be considered more, you know, city folks, more your opponent, representing a lot of the rural folks in the agricultural sections of district 2, who would do a better job representing kind of the opposite of where they grew up? Well, you know, that is one of the reasons I got in this race, because I think this district and its entirety has so much to offer in our rural areas, but also in our urban areas. My husband and I live in Montgomery now, and Montgomery has so much potential, and growing up in Southwest Alabama, being part of the old district one, you know, my entire life, I'm very cognizant that the future of Southwest Alabama and the future of the entire state is linked to the health and vitality of Mobile and the Bay Area, and that's never been more the case than it is today with the port, the airport, Austin, Airbus, the biodiversity of the Mobile River Delta, you know, you have so much recently got to tour innovation portal. You have so many young people, not just that have come back to Mobile, but so many young people that have come to Mobile from all over the country and really all over the world, and they see the opportunity there, and that's why it's so important that we have someone fighting for policies that allow those opportunities to flourish, that create a great business, you know, business environment for small businesses to get off the ground, and that's why I've since I filed in this race have dedicated, you know, two to three days a week to being in Mobile in addition to trying to, you know, on the other days, trying to split my time between the 12 counties in this district, but headed to Mobile later today will be there three days this week, so Mobile has a lot to offer, but, you know, when it comes to this district too, it's important to look at which candidate is actually raising, has chosen to raise their family in this district, you know, I moved back to Alabama over five years ago before this district was even created, I wanted to raise my kids in Alabama, and I got in this race because I want them to have opportunities in this district, my opponent started leasing an apartment in the district two days before the filing deadline, he has a million dollar home in Washington, he wants to go back to Washington because that's where his home is, and so another component of that, whether you're in a rural area or in Mobile is accessibility, who's back in the game, who's raising their kids here, and, you know, when they're not in session, who's going to be at your town halls, at your county commission meetings, at your community gatherings, and there's a clear answer to that in that candidate's name. And evergreen issue, especially here on our radio station, are watching this area, try to balance business interests, which of course are so vital to our economy, but also keeping our environment as clean as possible, you know, we care so much about the Delta and the Bay and the Gulf and keeping that clean for generations to come, but also the port brings so much money in, there's so many business interests down here that, you know, folks have jobs because of how would you, as congresswoman, kind of balance those, you know, we've had a couple of different controversies here recently, whether it's the dredging project in the in the port, the Bay, or, you know, the coal ash up in northern Nobile County, coal ash ponds, how would you balance those two interests as congresswoman? Well, you know, I think, you know, first and foremost, everyone needs a seat at the table and we really need to roll up our sleeves and try to depoliticize and depolarize a lot of these discussions and when, you know, when it boils down to it too, it's kind of a concept of stewardship and that's one of the, you know, really core values of how I was brought up, you know, with a focus on understanding that with the privilege of enjoying the gifts God has given us comes a responsibility to make those gifts fruitful, cultivate them, leave them better than we found them for the next generation and, you know, it is a fallacy to think that we have to sacrifice our environment for economic opportunity and vice versa that we have to sacrifice economic opportunity for our environment and so I and, you know, there are a lot of passionate folks that are really committed to ensuring that we maintain the economic, you know, economic opportunities in the district but also ensuring that we do not jeopardize the environment and then also with that, you know, there's so many recreational opportunities that are connected to maintaining the vitality of the biodiversity of Mobile Bay so I think the key is to ensuring that everyone's at the table and that we're not viewing that says an either or situation and also, you know, a lot of it comes down to funding. Savannah recently had a similar dredging, when it comes to dredging, had a similar dredging project and they received about three times as much from the federal government on a fiscal conservative. I believe we need that our government, federal government needs to be spending a lot less on, you know, liberal agenda items but when it comes to basic infrastructure like roads and bridges and ports, we need to ensure that these projects are adequately funded to get the job done right, so that we're not, you know, kind of doing things in a manner that calls problems down the road. Carolyn, so you're going to be immobile the next few days, you've got a pretty tight agenda going on, I guess? Yes, just making, again, trying to learn as much as I can about the area and then speaking at the West Mobile Republican women group today and then also there's the manufacturer Alabama conference that's going on, so definitely interested in learning more about our manufacturers, so much of which is in North Mobile and in Washington counties really have a corridor through there that is vital to the economy of our state and our country and then tomorrow also will be kind of throughout Mobile and in Baldwin County, so it's always a pleasure to get to be in your area. Last question for you, I know we had questions we could ask you all day, but you have your own debate coming up, less than a month away now, October 10th, you'll be debating your opponent, be hosted by AL.com, how are you feeling about that, as we're now less than a month away, you think that'll put out your comparison to your opponent pretty clearly there? Yes, no, I'm really grateful for the opportunity, it will be on October 10th and it will be livestream, I'm really grateful for the opportunity to share our message because it is one that resonates with all Alabama families throughout this district regardless of whether they call themselves Republican or Democrats, in every conversation one message is consistent and that is people want change, they want safer communities, they want opportunities for their kids, they want relief when it comes to the cost of gas and groceries and that's what I'm committed to fighting for and yes, I'm looking forward to having another avenue of sharing that message and if you want to learn more about our campaign you can check out Dobson for Congress.com that's D-O-B is in Bravo S-O-N-S-O-R Congress.com, we have a mobile headquarters, we'd love to have you participate in some of our campaign related activities between now and November 5th. U.S. House of Representatives District 2, Republican candidate, Carolyn Dobson spending some time with us this morning, appreciate your time, Caroline, safe travels and good luck down here with your different ventures and mobile with your opportunities to meet some of the voting public. Thank you, thank you. You get it? All right, Caroline Dobson, your thoughts on the text line or phone line 2513430106, we're also talking more about the debate from last night, that's all on the way right here on Mobile Morning. Morning from Dan Adalton FM Talk 1-0-6-5 at 8-28. Thanks again to Caroline Dobson taking the time to chat with us. I talked with Jeff just yesterday, right? That's right. In advance of her being down here in Mobile, making sure people knew she's going to be out in West Mobile to make such later on today. West Mobile Women's Republicans group. A couple of notes on last night, and just a minute left, we'll get to the text on the other side of the break, with the complaints about the moderators, right? It certainly seemed one-sided to me once they started jumping in with the fact checks, and one of the funny things, I guess funny, in a kind of grim way is no fact checks for Kamala. Even when they brought up her gun buyback that she was talking about just a couple years ago, on the debate stage, with moderator David Merr, Merr, and Merr Merr on the wall. He did correct her. He was the one moderating the debate where she said she endorsed a gun buyback program, but we all know it watching football over the years. If you're complaining about the refs, it's not a good book, right? And certainly there's reason there's cause to do so with the moderators and the coverage. I still think Trump had a lot of viral moments, which these days, that's kind of what the debate comes down to. I guess so. I guess so. You're right. It's 830 FM Talk 106.5. More of your text, more talk on the debate and 9/11 today on the way. 834, FM Talk 106.5, and Mobile Mornings, and now it's time to head over to McConnell Automotive and talk with Louis Aretta. Hey, Louis. Hey, man. Good morning. So tomorrow night, a Thursday night game for the South Alabama Jaguars, and it'll be a good chance for folks to come out and maybe look at their potentially new ride. Y'all will be pulling the floats as you've done before. That's right. We're going to be pulling the floats long as this rain stays out of here, which I hope it does. And everybody goes out there and watches a good game and hopes South wins. And y'all look at those beautiful GMC trucks, and man, we got plenty of them here. And with this rain coming in town, don't forget, we got a great body shot back there. McConnell Collision, man, they're number one in my book, but call them at 2-5-1-4-7-6-4-1-4-1. If you got a unfortunate accident, we'll take care of all your needs back there. And of course, those trucks that folks can get an eye on tomorrow night, they're good at pulling the floats. Good at pulling a lot of people around. They're also good at pulling farm equipment, tractors. I know a lot of people will be heading out into the woods here soon. These trucks can do it all. Yeah, I got a friend of mine here. We were just talking about going to hunt and that helped me. We got some full-wheel drive trucks on the lot. So, like I said, you can check everything out online at mcconnellautomotive.com or come by and say hi. And one more thing for some folks looking for extra cash in their pockets, you'll buy those vehicles from them as well. That's right. All you've got to do is call Eddie, or Jane, 2-5-1-4-7-6-4-1-4-1. Give them the van and the miles, and they'll try to give you a price right over the telephone. Thank you, Louis. Thank you. Louis Rata, go see him at mcconnellautomotive on Dolphin Street, just east of I-65, and the website mcconnellautomotive.com. On the text line, Unnamed Texture says what Dobson is saying about the border is excellent messaging on which Trump had done the same last night. The same text also says, "So Trump gets fact-checked on Haitians eating dogs, a disgusting but mostly irrelevant point in the national scheme of things. But Kamala gets no kickback for using the term Trump abortion ban. Some of the reactions from Dobson and the debate last night." Yeah, and it's so interesting the turn that the border discussion has taken this last week involving Haitian immigrants, we've had our own statewide discussion about that with Haitian refugees in silicaga and a couple other cities in the state. I mentioned it yesterday, but our state leaders, local leaders up there, are basically at a loss for how so many of these immigrants ended up in their cities, and it seems like Iby is way more into fighting their own VA director than the feds who are without notice, apparently, sending Haitians into the city, and small towns, they don't, first off, have the infrastructure with silicaga, especially, they don't have anyone who can translate Haitian Creole. They have, I was reading, maybe it was 18-19 news, they have an officer who's like, he cracked open, what's the, isn't one of the language learning apps, like, anyway, he's learning a new language because you have all these 50, I think, 50 Haitians that are in silicaga. Well, in Ohio, are they therefore a job? Are they there because they're on the job? Yeah, yeah, I believe so. That's what the plants are driving all this. Right. And the schools aren't prepared for that kind of thing, it's a much larger issue in Ohio, you know, it was at Springfield, where they had like a population of 60,000 just a few years ago, and then 20,000 Haitian refugees end up there. And we saw this so, so often, well, we've seen it a lot over the last decade where there's kind of a growing uproar about something that's happening on the ground. And you have these Ohioans, not just in that city, but saying, listen, there are a ton of issues with so many of these Haitian immigrants, these Haitian refugees that have shown up, they're terrible drivers. They're running into folks. That's what they're saying. They're causing all kinds of issues on the road. And then even though you have David Muhrer and the big network Sam, well, this has been debunked. The city manager there says that there's no cats being eaten. There's no geese being taken from the local city parks, but then you have people who live there saying like you had a city council meeting where one citizen there who says he's been documenting all of this and talking with other people, so yeah, they're taking geese. They're taking ducks right out of the pond. And that was so, that was so, what's the word? It's hard to believe that a guy could be given the position in news. He's basically Cole, anchor of this debate, put on that national stage and to be such a dimwit. Well, look, I heard a quote from the city manager, what's the city manager going to say? Yeah. The city manager is going, he doesn't, his job is to say, no man, everything's fine here. That's basically what Trump's response was saying. I was thinking this before Trump said it, I'm thinking, don't you take into account the politics of all of this, the city manager may have reasons politically that he doesn't want to say that. Yeah. He's not like the, gonna be the arbiter of all things that are truth and good and Springfield or whatever the name of the town is. Yeah. And it's such an absurd thing to think that it's going on, that I am worried that a lot of people just start rolling their eyes like, here's, there's a lie. This isn't really happening. The David mirror just said it's not happening. Trump making a big deal about something that's not happening, but there are reports on the ground that things like that are happening. I am worried though that there are a lot of people who think that's absurd and there's no way it's happening and that takes the messaging away from the Central American gang members who we know are coming through the border and committing awful heinous crimes that are without a doubt a fact happening, whether it's rape or murder or both. It's, so Trump really didn't talk a lot about those hot button issues specifically because this other new immigration story that's popped up regarding the Haitians has kind of taken all of the oxygen out of the room. And that's just something that I think Democrats are able to say, listen to how absurd he sounds right now. Even if what's happening is a third and is actually happened because it is so absurd. You can, you can poo poo to wait, but how about when it's correct? Also did you know that there are? So when you have these bad actors from Mexico, Central America, end up in the United States. Okay. So we're talking about the crime they're committing. This is not a figment of someone's imagination. Fox News does a job of documenting these when they happen. I get it. That's the right leaning and they want to make sure you know everything that someone that got here illegally is doing. When they do go to jail, the Mexicans and the Central Americans I'm hearing are almost kind of like they're the bad dudes in the jail. It's not the American citizens that are in jail. It's like, we don't mess with that. Like they, so not only are they, they're affecting the jails in the States as well. If that means anything to you. Right. Just beyond criminals that are coming across the border and they've opened the, I guess they've moved the goalposts on what constitutes a refugee to such a point that sure, refugees technically are coming in and they're being taken to places like this. But like I said, refugee or not, you have to have the infrastructure to take these people in. Like it or not, a lot of these refugees are taking jobs that could be going to Americans. And I think Trump made a pretty good point last night, which I was hoping you would make that regardless if their criminals are not coming across the border, when you have this many new people brought into a society, beyond all of the, you know, cultural issues that might cause. What about housing? How high housing prices have gotten beyond just the supply chains issues we had during the pandemic and the rate of inflation. When you bring more people into a market, there will be more people looking for housing. Housing prices are going to go up. Then all of a sudden you have Americans born in America, maybe never left America who can't afford their first house because you, or can't find a job because you're so much more focused on people coming in from other countries, and you could say that morally you're the good guy in this situation. I'm helping someone from a bad situation. But there's not enough of a focus on how it harms actual Americans, right? And that's the issue, one of the issues, I think economy is still the number one issue. And like Trump said, last night, immigration does play a major factor into how the economy runs, but did we get a single clear answer from Kamala on her economic policies? She kind of just keeps repeating the same platitudes over and over again, that she's, she's going to make things more affordable and this and that. There were, I was very worried last night that things looked bad for Trump. I think that she did get under his skin and then he ended up debating the moderators more than he was debating her, especially when she went after his rallies. And he kind of did a good job turning it around on her and saying, well, you're paying people to come to your rallies and then they're still not staying for the whole thing. Yeah, their musical events and what he made that point. So up in Athens, this is interesting, I heard this on 1819 news, so I just pulled it up right now. I don't know if you're aware of this, Dalton, but it's got to do with the housing issue of migrants, Athens residents petitioned Councilman Chris Seber to resign for allegedly profiting off Haitian migrants. So this guy owns a lot of properties and a petition calling for the resignation of Athens City Councilman. Chris Seber is gaining traction online after a group of concerned citizens accused him of corruption and questionable business dealings related to recent mass Haitian immigration. We are writing to express our deep concern about the corruption of the city councilman and we feel our constitutional rights to seek answers to the many questions that we have. After seeking answers to a sudden influx of Haitian migrants in the area, as many other cities are dealing with in Alabama, citizens began to investigate on their own when they questioned the city leadership. I think what they found is, I don't want to just read the whole story. I don't want to do that. I think what they found was he owns property. And so he's all four bringing a man and he's all four making a profit. He's got a number of different LLCs, at least seven different LLCs in Athens. So he's playing the game to profit and yet he's a city councilman. And that was a similar story to what was uncovered or is being uncovered about what's going on in Aurora with the Aurora, Colorado with the Venezuelan immigrants, the city in Texas as well. I can't remember if it was Fort Worth or San Antonio or maybe one that's on the border where you get this big chunk of federal money that is passed down to NGOs, non-governmental organizations, to rehome or basically to take care of these immigrants or refugees or whatever you have. And then that money ends up in the pockets of property owners. And that's with that Aurora apartment story that went viral, then it's why they've taken it over base. You end up with federal money that works its way and they're paying these people to house all of these immigrants. And it's not just Athens and Aurora. It's happening all over the country. Right. Let's get some text before we talk with Jeff Poor here in the next segment. Martin says, like Jack Nicholson said, and if you good men, you don't want to know the truth. I think he said you can't handle it anyway. James, the sad troll, WWJD is where I'm at and you can bet these same people will be in church on Sunday, praising God while practicing none of his teaching. Chris, Orange Beach, the most important question a voter has to ask itself is how much money did you have in your pocket at the end of the month when Trump was in office, as opposed to them in office. This text through the Mexicans are pulling their money and paying cash for houses. They're putting 10 to 12 people in each house. CB Carl, the female moderator last night looked like she was wearing a jacket. She bought it a talking heads yard sale. I'll have to go back and I wasn't on the fashion beat last night CB Carl. We'll have to make CB Carl our new fashion reporter. Yeah. That's good. It's texture. Talking heads. Let's see. If we're going to have fact checking in debates, it should be equitable. The Democrats love equity. It should be equal fact truck fact check Trump six times fact check her six times make it even or eliminate fact checking completely. When you've got three people piling on top of you, it's pretty easy to get frustrated. I think he gets a pass for any kind of performance last night. I'm not sure that all voters will give him a pass there. This text are good point just because the city manager says these things aren't happening doesn't mean they aren't happening. That is not fact checking. Yeah. That's exactly. I mean, he said that to Trump like, "Hey, look, I've got the definitive answer here. Didn't you hear what the city manager said? Like, shut up." And the same thing with the FBI crime stats. Actually, crime is way down. And Trump fact checked him. He said, "Well, why weren't some of the cities most known for their crime included in that FBI report?" That's something we discussed here specifically because they had mobile listed as the second most dangerous city in the country. It might have been six or eight months ago where that was a big story around here because of that ranking. Yeah. And they didn't have Chicago. They didn't have several other major cities. Hello. Included in that list. And okay, so this one says, "These small towns are promised jobs and growth to get the plants in only to have the plants bring in people that won't follow the law or attempt to assimilate total lunacy. The citizenry is being failed and these communities will be changed forever. Doesn't have met. I tried to watch the debate, but turned it off when ABC started to attack Trump. It was a full on attack on Trump to rattle him. It looked like they did. Also, it appeared Harris was wearing an ear ring, earpiece designed as disguised as earrings. I saw that theory last night too on social media. That kind of stuff. I just don't know. I don't know if she had an earpiece. It didn't seem like, maybe she's a good enough anchor that she can hear someone talking while she's talking. Maybe she has not sure. I'm not sure. I don't know. She may have hearing loss right here. I hear her just sort of. Cut her some slack. For God's sake. It's eight fifty. If him talk one oh six five going to talk to Jeff four, see what he thought about the old debate. And what's going on around the state and he's on the way. Good morning from Ben and Dalton FM talk one oh six five. I'll be your morning's rolling into the Jeff pool show which is next and Jeff joins us now. How are you Jeff? Doing well guys. How are you? Hey, we are great. How's your picks going? Did you get your picks in for the second week of the FM talk one oh six five college pick them challenge. Why do you put me on the spot like that? Well, my real question was I hate taking shots. I'm a Tennessee fan so we've we've dealt with our issues over the years. But I know you're trying to raise a couple more Auburn fans in your household. At what point do you stop watching the games live and just throw on the cam Newton season for them. We go to the games which makes it very difficult. You can't avoid it. My gosh. But like because we see the tickets but at this age, I mean like the most exciting thing is the fireworks in the band getting to sing the glory glory to a lot burn. I mean, that's like that's like his thing and he tell you what guys he goes through his little pre-k school and the teachers are like stunning knows how to spell Auburn because he goes, hey, you be you are in and well, aside that and singing David out coe, I mean, just like, I don't know what I love that. He's the youngest Alabamaian in the state that hates Peyton Thorne. He already has figured out that guy's no good at four years old. One of his little classmates, his dad played for the tide of, he's the only Auburn kid in his class. Okay. I love that and just like his dad, a bit of a, you know, troublemaker there if he's the only Auburn fan. He's going to get in. He's a contrarian. Thank you. That's the word I was looking for. What's your show today? Who do you have coming up? Well, we'll start out here in just a bit with Dick Burbaker, kind of a regular, our Wednesday regular, Joey Clark and then we don't have him on a whole lot because he's a good friend of the program. Scott Stadhagen from Harsel, but he's the majority leader in the Alabama House represent. We're not really in a little state stuff too much. Just kind of talking about the lay of the land. And I think this immigration issue and the way it's spilled over into Alabama. Yeah. Every story in 18, 19 news about what's going on in Athens. I thought that was interesting. And Jeff, I'm sure you'll go into detail about what you saw on the debate last night, but just kind of a broad overview. How did you think things went for Trump? How'd things go for Harris? I, what, what the good night for Trump? I mean, I'll say that. And I says yesterday, I'll just show, I don't think this moves the needle either way. We got to step outside the bubble sometimes and I was watching some of the focus groups. But I think people that aren't really hyper engaged, like if you keep up with this stuff, it's really a raw shark to us or whatever you want to think about coming out of it. But a lot of people were kind of put off by Vice President Harris. I don't know. I mean, I, I know she did what she had to do. She performed a minimal expectations. She probably gets the W, but it's going to have an asterisk next to it because of the moderators. And the moderators getting in the middle of it, really, I think put, put, put a little bit of shadow of a doubt on her W there, but we'll see if they do another one. I don't think this matters. I think in a week, we will have forgotten about it. She knew her lines. I think they're the main goal for the Harris camp last night was to do her version of Pelosi tearing up the state of the union speech behind Trump. They were looking for those kind of viral moments. That would you agree? Yeah, or I'm speaking, but they didn't get to really get that one in Trump did that. Trump to that incident. It's about, is that familiar to you? Yeah. Thanks, Jeff. Have a good show. Thanks for having me on. You got it. All right. Jeff Porsche on the way in minutes. That does it for mobile mornings on this Wednesday. We'll be back bright and early tomorrow morning. Uh huh. No, we're going to do the Fallon. We only can come in four days a week now. Oh, that's what Jimmy Fallon's doing now. Yeah. Yeah. So let's no Thursdays. Okay. No, we'll see you tomorrow.
