Jeff Poor Show - Monday 9-23-24
[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 Poor Show. ♪ I don't think Hank done it this way ♪ ♪ No ♪ Good morning, welcome to the Jeff Poor Show. Today from Talk with us 6'5". Thanks for being with us on. This Monday morning, 2513430106. We need to be in touch with the program. All you gotta do is text us. That's the way we communicate on the program coming up here in about a half hour, a frame from the Trussell Tribune, Scott Buttram. Also, in that 10 o'clock hour are one of our Monday regulars, representative Shane Stringer from Citranelle. And then finally, we will wrap it up with Del Jackson, WVNN, and Yella Hammer News. So please, please stick around for that. So a few things to hit on here, we'll begin. If Fair Hope, or Baldwin County, or, you know, those of you listening tonight, there's a City Hall meeting, or a City Council meeting down at the City Hall. If Fair, somehow this got started. And I'm not really sure where this comes from, but, I mean, they're going to settle some migrants in Fair Hope. And I don't know that to be the case. A lot of people have said about it. And some are reporting at 18, 19 news, just to kind of give you the background here. We know, we know there's a guy named Jay Palmer, the former, I believe Trump administration official, he's been touring the state. He's done appearances at South Chicago, Albertville, Enterprise. And he says, he has heard this about Baldwin County, with nowhere specifically mentioned in Baldwin County, but just Baldwin County. So we know that. Now, I don't know how accurate that is. We have one source saying that. And he said it in a town hall, like kind of one of these town hall meetings. He's staging and the wire grass last week. So we know that's number one, number two. And this has nothing to do with it. But for a lot of people, they're putting this with this and making this conclusion, which I don't think is a smart thing to do. The city council recorded Martin saying that sign a letter claiming he had signed it a couple of years ago or last year. I'm not sure what he's claiming because he's not really talking about it. But it was a letter that this, this, uh, this nonprofit called welcoming refugees released earlier this month, three people from Alabama, Travis Hendricks of Birmingham, who hasn't been in office that long. So I don't know, I try to claim this is for 2023. Uh, doesn't really match with him. Uh, also with Thomas Jackson, or as I said, to be called a state representative, Thomas action Jackson and Mr. Martin, near the Fair Hope city council. It's just seems like news to me. Uh, there's these refugees settling all over the state and you have three elected officials who were saying, yeah, you know, we should be more open to. Uh, refugees here. Anyway, so people are taking what the city councilman had done. And pairing it with this comment from Jay Palmer, I think they're going to settle them here in Fair Hope. I don't think that's necessarily the case. Anyway, we'll find out more. Uh, and then this will probably be a topic for tomorrow. But, uh, tonight there's, uh, I guess going to be a. It's just city council meeting there on the eastern shore. Uh, two, five, one, three, four, three, zero, one, zero, six. That's the text line. Also the shooting of Birmingham, uh, five point south. So, I mean, it is, um, it might, uh, trying to describe five points south. If you think about it, a little light dolphin street and mobile. And at one time it was really kind of a, a, a bustling little light night scene. Not so much anymore. But the shooting happened and, and, you know, four dead and, and, uh, you know, a lot of people injured. And immediately on Sunday, it's all about block switches. The democratic party in this state has determined that glock switches. Are the root of all evil and they must be ended? Well, let me say this. The glock switch angle here on, uh, the story. Maybe it's, maybe it's a thing. It probably is. But no one is talking about this. We have a gang problem in our cities in Alabama. Why Randall would fan and Stephen Reed and Anthony Daniels and Phillip Insler and all these guys who have decided now, if Terry Sewell have decided now is the time to pipe up. We'll acknowledge a gang problem in the city of Birmingham is beyond me. What they want instead that they're going, all of these elected Democrat officials are going after Republican lawmakers. Blaming constitutional carry and blaming, I'm not having a glock switch ban. Well, guess what? There's a federal law banning glock switches. You want to like be bad about the no ban on glock switches? I mean, no enforcement of the ban. I guess it's the feds. Like the legislature put in place a few things. But this, this bill that they barfoot. Senator Barfoot, I should say got passed and he had to do it. Basically bagging Roger Smith. I mean, Bobby Seilton from the black belt to go along with it. It was supposed to toughen up the penalties. For this gang activity in these cities. If you're affiliated with a gang, your penalties. Well, why is it? Why aren't we talking about this? That's what's going on here guys. It shouldn't be anything to curb your second amendment rights. But that that is where we are. They want the Alabama legislature to revoke. And this is Anthony Daniel statement to revoke the. Constitutional carry law. Constitutional carry law permitless carry law, whatever you want to call it. I know people get touch you about that part of it. And they want a state lock switch band. Which I guess would double up on what the feds have. There's a few problems with that. When it comes to things like that. Who would forces it? There's no like state level ATF or maybe there is, but like. Whatever the state decides it was to pass its own immigration rules. The feds say no, no, no, no, no, supremacy cause. What's the difference here? It's a state of Alabama passed a law that was already on the federal statute. Who would forces it? And maybe I'm not a, I'm only married to a lawyer. But that's, that's what the Democrats want. A state ban on blocks, which is. We'll double a wire to feds enforcing the law. And number two, um. I mean, it's just, if you band it in the state, how do you go about enforcing it? Text slide two, five, one, three, four, three, zero, one, zero, six. I'll sort of throw this out there. There's a couple of polls out. NBC News is showing Trump getting destroyed. And then there's a New York Times Santa College poll that shows Trump winning in these battleground states by significant margins. The polling is everywhere. But the polling is just mixed. It's, it's not a good sign for Harris. I mean, in 2020, they were all pretty much in concert. For Joe Biden, and you always have like a Rasmussen or something out there. That's an outlier. And the same for Hillary. Now, we always show, I try to get these guys to benefit of the doubt and think, well, maybe they have a just, they're modeling, maybe an adjuster methodology. To try to catch up with the modern times here. But the polling and the polls say what the polls say. But it's just like I said, it's, it's hard to know what they mean. All you can know is what the trends are. The trends are not good for the Harris campaign. She is not moving the needle in the direction she needs to go. Because she gets in the race. She rockets up the polls. She rockets out front. Or at least she rockets to a tie. But she's, she's performing much better than Biden ever did post. Debate post his terrible debate. Okay. So what's next? Well, you would think is she building on it? She's not doing anything to build on it. And I know some of you out there that are Democrats are like, oh, well, yeah, that's what you always say. Yeah, yeah, but if you really want it hard to be president and you don't let you hate Trump so much like James or whoever. Aren't you looking at the Harris campaign? Like, what are they doing? Why is it she performing better? She's got the most money. She's and maybe they're going to just sink a bunch of money into the ground game. And that's what they think is going to win it for them. But there's no. I mean, there's a little bit of an air campaign. If you look at the advertising in the swing states. But some of the ads are just kind of blocking the tackling box checking ads. I don't find any of them compelling. Donald Trump's got to help his bill. Your friends get a tax break. I mean, that's, that's when they're playing over and over again in Georgia. Is that not really doing it for anybody? And she's down big in Georgia. If you believe the New York Times. Like, uh, Arizona, North Carolina, Georgia is what the New York Times says. It's where the race is. Um, so it's important to watch these polls, but watch the trend in the direction. They are moving in and that'll give you a better sense as presidential election. And where we stand today. But that is a kind of a remarkable thing coming out of a presidential election cycle. Also, Donald Trump in Alabama later this week on Saturday, Alabama, Georgia game. And I guess the idea there is he'll every TV in Georgia will be tuned on our, I'd say nine out of 10, maybe. We'll be on the game. They will spend the pull the ad rates for that game in the Atlanta market ought to be. Premium. No second debate. Trump already once again, a doubling down on his claim, not a second debate. That's not totally unexpected. Should he do a second debate? And my instinct is, I don't know what he gets from it. Maybe he should. But the Harris campaign wants a second debate. I don't, you always got to be, you always got to look at these campaigns that want a debate, like almost in a needy way. Smart people would tell you that, I mean, that's a sign of a campaign that's just trying to call back. All right, we got to get a break in here. Well, you will return. This is the Jet Force Show it up and talk. One, two, six, five. [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] Welcome back to the Jet Force Show. Let's talk, one, six, five. Thank you for staying with us on this Monday morning, two, five, one, three, four, three, zero, one, zero, six. You need to be a touch with the show. You text me. That's the best way to go about it. Scott Butcher from the Trussle Tribune up in Birmingham. We'll be with us next. I just, it's probably him shooting. I know we've spent a lot of time talking about other places in Alabama, but it is a, the reason it's important is that they want to, the people who should be protecting the city of Birmingham, the elected officials there, they want to come for permanent-less carry, and they want a state ban on gox, which is, which I don't know how that would work, and who would force us out law, and if the feds would be okay with that. But my question is, well, I got two, it's a two-part question to these people. Number one, why aren't the federal authorities really cracking down? They know that this is a problem in Alabama. These switches go after the people who are making these or the people who are using them very aggressively. Number two, acknowledge the damn gang problem in your town. Like, why are we talking about that? Why? The same wall that applies to Birmingham applies to Baymanette, and they don't have shootouts on a Saturday night killing people. What's, what's the, what's the variable here? The legal aliens are being allowed in this country as a part of a politician in business social and chamber of commerce because it's cheap labor for the hospitality industry, agriculture, and construction, and all the other cheap paid jobs. So if you're mad, you need to look into business councils in your county. Some of that's true. These people who are coming here from Haiti are legal. That's, there's a CHNV parole program that you come to this country. You, you know, you claim to be an asylum seeker and you get this, you get this temporary permanent status. I know that sounds like a contradiction, but you, you are here legally and you, you get a work visa and you might even, they may even throw in some EBT benefits. Now Buck writes this, Democrat lawmakers should ban Democrats from being gun owners. They don't want to commit to most violent crime Chicago, for instance, how many Republicans live there and how many people get shot per weekend. Captain Doug, hey, a South Africa transplant here in South Alabama has stated that you want to know what, what's upcoming election looks like, watch the markets. So should not be the debate again in a rigged environment such as CNN would be. A name text or second debates have moderate interest to demand the answers to the questions and not word salad for answers. The Trump will waste time defending his record. Dirk Nigger, come on, let's say the debate. So he gives them time to coach her up and set up Trump. Truck needs to wait one to one day out so it doesn't give the time to sit him up because when you're a president, you don't have time to prep when president 24/7, 365. She is not ready. Proof is in the pudding. Look at the last four years. Pat Glaxowitz is already banned federally and these people shooting most likely shouldn't be owning firearms anyway. Yeah, I mean, I, I don't disagree with that. But, but the problem Pat is this is what we are being told. The underlying evils in Alabama that have led to this, what they're calling a mass shooting and Birmingham was permanently scary and Glaxwitches and I'm calling BS. Lastly, fire dog. The variable is gangs and culture of the individuals in Birmingham. And that's right. But the solution is we're going to impose a law on the entire state of Alabama to fix some of these isolated areas, pockets of violence. That's what we're going to do. I tell you, I think you've got to look at the feds here. Now, I see the FBI has got to reward out. These, by the way, these guys are still in the Lamb. Two, five, one, three, four, three, zero, one, zero, six. Stick around. This is the Jeff Pore show on FM Talk, 106.5. [Music] Welcome back to the Jeff Pore show at FM Talk, 106.5. They just stay with us on this Monday morning, 251. Three, four, three, zero, one, zero, six. That's how you get touched with me or show host. Silicon Shane Stringer, a state representative from Citroenel in about an hour. And Dale Jackson will be in in Yellhammer News at nine, eleven o'clock hour. So please make sure that you stay tuned for that. Joining us now on the line, I regularly heard from him in a little bit, but Scott Bunch are from the Trustful Tribune. What a good time to get him on. Scott, good morning. How are you? Well, I'm doing well. I had a pretty busy weekend for a local newspaper, but doing well. Well, and we know why. And then it's this shooting at Five Point South, which... Five Point South is not the Five Point South about youth anymore, is it? No, no, it's not. And that is probably something we should talk about. It is still very popular, though, and I think the audience knows, Jeff, I'm a minute or two younger than I are older than you. So Five Point South was kind of a generational entertainment district in Birmingham before we were labeling things entertainment district. It was a hangout area, right? I mean, I'm 63. It was a place that we ran up to from Tuscaloosa on a pretty regular basis on weekends for the bands and the bars and the restaurants. And it has shifted like you popped up as a very popular entertainment district, downtown Birmingham, along First and Second Avenue, nor... And then you've got Avondale. So all of these, just 10 to 15 years ago, were very different than they are now. While they are still popular entertainment districts, it's not the way it was 20 years ago. It shifted. Demographics had shifted and changed. And there are all problems in those areas, all of those areas at this point. All those places like Bell Bottoms and Louis-Louis, and I don't know, like... Yeah. I remember them. And it was kind of like a safe place to walk, even when you were inebriated. You didn't have to worry about it. But you wouldn't do that now, apparently. No, no, you wouldn't. And my generation was coming up to Louis-Louis and Chevy Six were swaying all the time and packing that place out. And in fact, you could hardly climb the park in five points out. Then it shifted to Bell Bottoms. And what is it? The cheese, I can't remember that group that did all the disco revival. The cheese brokers, I'll take you to what it was. That was more your generation. Y'all have to bring back all these things we killed. But it was wildly popular. And it really was a safe place. But here's the other thing I recall. You could not step outside a restaurant or bar in that area without seeing a police office. Either old-foot or in a patrol car. This was very well covered by Birmingham Police. And there were incidents. Don't get me wrong, but the police won't talk about it quickly. I don't see how the incident that took place Saturday night, where 17 people were shot, four were murdered. It's just an all-out street shootout. Actually, more like a mafia hit the way it was described to me. I don't understand how those people got away. I don't understand how they want Birmingham Police everywhere immediately. Other than the fact that I continue to hear from Birmingham police officers, they are severely understaffed. And that's severely understaffed. They simply cannot cover the city of Birmingham. Well, let's bring it back to the bigger picture here about Alabama. And you had Philip Ensler. You had Anthony Daniels, two state lawmakers. You had the goofball mayor there where Andelwood Finn, Terry Sewell, a bunch of others. Stephen Reed. All the usual suspects, all the usual suspects. It's all about lock switches and a permitless constitutional carry, whatever you want to call it. That's the evil here. And I think clearly the problem is the gangs, okay? I think it's a gang problem. Why, why are we not talking about that? But number two, so just talk about this block switch thing. And I saw that on social media put, well, this is, this is a harmless kind of common sense thing to do. The only problem I think is that it's a hang up here is when you pass a ban on something that the federal government's already banned. I mean, this is that like Alabama having its own immigration laws and they're a supremacy clause question here. You would think so, but the supremacy clause typically only comes off when it's something that Democrats don't want at the state level. You know, let's back up. We've got a number of state laws that echo federal law. So, I mean, that's not anything unusual. They're all over the books. Um, I want to start by saying this. Bill Bensler. In fact, I pulled it up and read read through the three page bill this morning. And he would like to see if we can get that on the books as a state law. Baining even possessing on which the federal law, if I'm not mistaken, the federal law is a violation of having a block switch. It has to be operational and I believe it has to be installed in the gun already. I'm not sure about whether or not it's got to be installed in the gun. I'm very confident it has to be an operational block switch. So, there are some stipulations on the federal law that I did not see an insular bill. Further Woodford, the mayor of Birmingham went public yesterday on the same tangent. And let me just, for those of you who aren't real familiar with Randall Woodford and Birmingham, or if you're not familiar with the Alabama Democrats in general, you just ran off a list of them, including Anthony Daniels, Chris England, you go through all these people. What they are really, really good at these days is coming up with excuses for why they fail. And they become good at it because they have to come up with a lot of excuses because they fail on a consistent basis on literally everything in the state. The biggest organization we know, so excuses are there, excuses are Democrats. That's who they are. They're excuse mikers. The problem is that this does nothing to work toward fixing what this is. This is their rival gang factions in Birmingham. And that is what is going on here. None of this will change that. Here's the thing, I don't expect the mayor to have a meeting in the fine families with all the gang warlords in Birmingham and work out a solution. But it would be nice if he would just acknowledge the problem instead of blaming the Alabama legislature. Well, he's not going to do that. He's not going to accept responsibility. He's not going to accept what the real problem is because it admits accepting his own failure. You know, a lot of people are optimistic when Randall would have been was elected. Young guy had served as president of the school board, which probably Cynthia Birmingham has the worst schools in the state of Alabama. That probably should have been our first clue. But he's turned out to be like every other Birmingham mayor in my lifetime, which is all talk, no real accomplishments. And it ignores the reality that is the city. I can't get over. After his last election, they put out a video of Randall Woodburn and a woman dancing on the rooftops in downtown Birmingham. And it was just a total act of ignoring the reality of Birmingham, which is what's going on in the neighborhoods where people are selling drugs, shooting and killing, raping each other on an ongoing daily basis. Randall Woodburn is delusional. The people who elected Randall Woodburn are delusional. This is going to surprise people, Jeff. I'm in support of passing insular spell. Let's pass it. Let's make the block switches illegal at the state level. They're already illegal in Alabama at the federal level anyway. And let's give it to Randall. So one more time, he will get exactly what he asked for. And one more time, he will fail the people of Birmingham and the dead bodies will continue to stack up. I just don't think, and maybe, maybe yes, the right way to go about it. But we know that they're going to find something else to scapegoat here. But the state of Alabama doesn't need to be in the business of passing gun laws. I just, I mean, the constitutional carry thing speaks for itself. I know. Well, the big problem here, Scott, is we really take this Republican super majority is going to go along with that and be like, oh, yeah. Let's do a Glock switch band. And all our problems will be solved because we know you and I sitting here talking about this. Know that there's a lot more to this problem. They passed a bill that I in the penalties for participation in these gangs in these cities. Right. Right. A little barfoot. And why are we talking about applying that to some of this? Well, you're right. And all of that is true. We gave him that was written with one of that bill where they could start hitting these, hitting these guys up. These people in Birmingham, the government in Birmingham, the shooters, the murderers, so they can tie them to gang activity. We gave them that bill. As you've already mentioned multiple times, there's no mention of the gang activity involved here. They're not using that tool. They will give it. Now, I will say this about the Glock switch bill and the Glock switch law in general. I do not view that as a gun bill. I don't. A Glock switch is not a gun. It's a mechanism to change what a gun can do. I don't think that falls under the second amendment. It does it in my opinion. And I haven't really seen any legal opinions that would support that. That's one reason I'm okay with doing it. Let me mention this as well, Jeff. When insulars bill did come up in the last session, we did see some pushback from, I think there were two or three Republican legislators that spoke against the bill. I thought their cases were extremely weak. I don't think they offered a legitimate reason not to pass that bill. If I did give this as a gun law, I might feel differently about it. I don't view this as a gun law. Join me by Scott Bunchman of the Trustful Tribune here on the program. Scott, any Haitian migrants coming to Trustville? We have not had any. We did have an interesting thing that popped up in a council meeting the other day. I have no idea. This is probably two weeks ago. No idea that you're related to the immigrant situation. But based on the fact that the gentleman speaking at the city council meeting in trust will had to bring someone with him because he didn't speak English. I wouldn't be surprised that we find that out. Again, small matter, almost insignificant, but it got my attention. The council council had to address. This is a restaurant owner in the trustful area who owns a home in a very high-end neighborhood in trustful. And the reason he had to appear before the council is because it was reported that there were two families living in that house. And that violates our housing ordinances for that particular zoning. You can only have one family per home. And I thought that was interesting. He told the council, he was very upfront. He said, yeah, this is a new employment, a new employee at my restaurant. He needed a place to live. So I'm renting the home to him, his family, and another family. And the council said, well, only one family can live there. I wondered if that was tied to this stuff in a little bit or a little bit of form. I think we're going to see the Haitian migrants exactly where we expect to see them. If there's a chicken plant nearby, you're probably going to start seeing an increase in Haitian citizens in your local community. Well, what's going on here? This is why I think I think it's going on all over the country. It's just sort of a vigilance about this in Alabama. But the Biden administration sees the clock on the wall counting down in January 20th. And they're trying to settle as many of these refugees, wherever they can, as fast as they can. But the problem is that these communities can object all they want. Technically, they're here legally, but it's just about administration's got to get them in these communities. And it'll make it harder for Trump to send them back. So Trump is elected president. Then he says, well, we're going to revoke the CHNV parole program. You got to go back to Haiti or wherever Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba, and the some liberal activist group will run to federal court. Get an injunction and then we're on the track to the Supreme Court and violate 2028 or something. Right, right. That's exactly what we'll take place. I'm a little concerned that I don't think Republicans are talking about the right things here. We've let the conversation be distracted and directed toward eating cats and dogs and pets. We ought to be talking, Jeff, about the impact of increasing, let's say, Springfield, Ohio, increasing that population by 50% over a matter of months or a year or so. And what that would do to any community in America, if you dumped another 50% of their population on them overnight, a population, by the way, who, for the large part, does not speak English, yet they have to be educated in schools. They have no housing. Yet they're going to drive housing costs up in the community. In Alabama, we ought to be talking, but we had to, we had to build them. We've got to go on the record and talk about how great these workers are. They stay at the machines all day. Yadda, yadda, yadda. Yeah. Well, they stay at the machines all day because their rent and their transportation is coming out of their paychecks. This is, this is, this is, what's the word I'm looking for? They're exploiting, they're exploiting these poor people for the, they can't speak a lick of English that are, I mean, just, just, I get it. They want a better life. They were, they were. Yeah. This is what they are. That's a step. That's a step away from slavery. We're letting this go on in Alabama. And I mean, that, that's the problem. These paltry plants, some of these auto manufacturing vendors are using labor suppliers. And guess what? Scott Alabama is open for business. And we, we, we hand out these incentives and give them tax abatements. And then they don't even hire the local workforce. They bring in their own workforce. Why are we doing this? Jeff, that Pilgrim's Pride plant was producing or processing 500,000 chickens a day. If somebody was doing it before the Haitians got here. So why are we talking about the Alabamians that lost their jobs to be replaced by a ditch or serve a chip in from Haiti by the Biden administration? I mean, the Biden administration is setting up modern-day slavery in the state of Alabama. They are displacing Alabamians who were working in those chicken processing plants. Most plants were there for decades. They were employing Alabamians. They're not anymore. We ought to be asking why our Congress people ought to be asking why our state legislators ought to be asking why. Because I guarantee you, we go back far enough, we're going to find out the state probably gave all those plants incentive money to build or develop or expand for jobs, jobs, so for jobs. Scott, we got to leave it there. We're out of time, folks. We'll find you online. How can they do so? Hey, you follow me on Twitter and I'll make you mad three or four times a day. That's @ScottButterum on Twitter or now X. And you can always keep up with current news at trussletormune.com. I appreciate everything you do, Jeff. Hey, appreciate you coming on. Scott Butter, ladies and gentlemen, we got to get a break here. We'll be right back. This is the Jeff Porchola for Talk1065. [MUSIC PLAYING] All right, let's take it on that. The muscle shows to the potatoes. [MUSIC PLAYING] Mm, burning half. [MUSIC PLAYING] Ooh, my God! [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] Welcome back to the Jeff Porchola for Talk1065251343. 0106, got a ton of text messages here. We will get to some of those now and some over the next couple of segments. But Silla, come on the program. Shane Stringer in the next aisle. You want to stick around for that and then for whatever reason. I said, "Dell Jackson, don't we be in it?" And Yella Hammer News will be with us. So please stick around for that. I keep the text coming. Let's keep it off with Anderson. Maybe we should divide us as US civilians, US citizens, as us civilians. And just citizens, when they test, they must be taken to qualify as a citizen with certain rights like Israel. Don't we do that with immigrant? Well, I guess you mean to people here now. Ahhh, community notes wannabe says, "There aren't any Kamala supporters worried about this election. The polls and prediction markets agree. She will win in a landslide. All she needs is Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. It's like drawing an inside straight. And I disagree. Like the 538, Nate Silver, who's not a key party conservative, says it's still Trump's to lose. There are a lot of prediction markets that tell otherwise community notes wannabe. So I think you're cherry picking here. I don't think she's going to win at this stage because I am not convinced she really wants to be president. She is not running a traditional campaign. She's hiding from the media. She's a terrible candidate. I mean, you're going to look back at this. How are you going to be mad at the Democrats for not doing better? Let's get a break here. [music] [music] [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 Porsche show. I don't think Hank done it this way. [music] Welcome back to the Jeff Porsche show. If we talk about 065, I think if you're sticking around on this Monday morning, text line 2513430106. Our number two begins right now. Silicon chain string, your state representative from North Mobile County, Citranelle to be precise. And Dell Jackson to be being in and a lot of Hammer news. Reset here. We're talking a lot about this, what they're calling a mass shooting in Birmingham. But I mean, it certainly wasn't good. And the troubling thing is the sort of reaction for lawmakers are the Democrat lawmakers. I should say they're piped up on this. It's just, they're not, I don't think, acknowledging the real problem. That's number one. Number two, some of the polling out there. It's mixed. It's all over the place. It kind of fallen up on it. The community doesn't want to be saying that there aren't any Kamala supporters worried about this election. Is your candidate doing everything she can do to win? Do you feel that? Do you feel like she is like giving it this full effort? This necessary effort to emerge as the next president of the United States. I think she's leaving a lot on the table here. I really do. And I, you know, if she were a Republican candidate, you would have to question this. Like, like, why aren't you? Why aren't you doing these interviews? Why aren't I, I think, I think she's going to lose. Unless, and maybe she's, if I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt here and I'm trying to figure out the strategy, maybe they're just saving it all for the very end. They don't want to peak too early. And it's going to be like a late, late blitz. But the trends are bad for her. If you don't want to believe the bottom line numbers of the polls, or you do, they are shifting in Trump's direction. Overall, you could, you could do a line graph and you could see this. The trend is for Trump. And I don't think she's doing anything to help that. Also, the media is still trying to make this like weird North Carolina governor thing, the breaking point for this election. North Carolina just feels like a Republican state right now. I think it's wishful thinking to think that Democrats can win North Carolina. Georgia, you never know. And I'm really surprised at the numbers in Arizona. But what is the disconnect? Why is Arizona, which has historically been a Democrat voting state here lately? All of a sudden, like big, big margin for Trump over Harris. Well, what's, why is it that? Why is it that the trend in other places as well? Like, and the polls seem pretty universal that Arizona is a Trump state right now. What changed? Jake, morning, Jeff. Well, thank you, Jake. This is just hearsay. Well, we just want to be like a basal speculation. But I was watching Nick Johnson on YouTube last night. Anyway, he was in Springfield, Ohio, interviewing people and talked to a lady from the local grocery store. She says she can see the balance on EBT cars and she says Haitians with 30,000 to 50,000 on a damn food stamp card. Like I say, I'm just repeating what I watch, but that's crazy. I don't, I can't imagine it being that much or they would be in better, much, much better shape. Jake. That's, she's kind of crazy. Ben, I wonder how many of these shooters of Birmingham, Montgomery and Mobile would be off the streets or at least legal trouble if we didn't have constitutional carry. I don't think very many. Like, we don't do sloppin' frisk. We don't, we don't do these things like they used to do. And we, or we got to like start pulling over potential gang bangers and demanding they show their gun permits. The real Sam, right, says, "Hey, Jeff off subject." But I'm a law called truck driver and here is an old trucking song that is a particularly good bumper song to give a nod to all of us who listen each day. He sends me a YouTube leak. I'll take a look at that. Backstrap Stacker writes a zydeco. I remember zydeco. That's where I used to go see the Wayne Mills band in Birmingham at zydeco. It's still there, by the way, backstrap. It's near five points, but it's more headed south on the Montgomery highway. Like your head toward Vulcan. There was a bunch of places back in the day. But now, I mean, there's a couple of bars there. There's a place called Dave's that's been there forever. And there's other places that have come and gone over the years. But it's just, it used to be kind of a, like I said, an entertainment, Scott much have gone to the generational entertainment district where the shooting took place in Birmingham on Saturday. Oh, well, everybody talks about this. If you read ail.com, like the best restaurant in the state, because they won a beard award, was that the old Highland barn grill. And I think they've closed, but that's where that was. Like all the trendy, like restaurants and stuff are in this neighborhood where this took place. Dave, make you was it anybody saying black and black crime? That's a real problem. I don't know if it's a race thing at all. It's cultural. But I think it's gang violence. That's what I think. We don't get distracted saying black and black implies there's a racial component to it, but I don't think the, I don't think it's like, oh, I'm going to go shoot this guy because he's black and I'm black too. I don't think that matters. And you got like a, like a bloods and crypts or whatever they are, situation in Birmingham that no one wants to talk about. King of all and name textures. Why is it incumbent upon the ones who are settling the Haitians to get them better acclimated on the front end? I'll say this and this is when talking to people or experts on this. Over time Haitians assimilate much, much better than a lot of other Hispanic groups. But man, you got a, you got a very steep curve at the very beginning. Martin, Biden is bringing in these Haitians just like Obama did with a lot of Muslims bringing several thousand of the time and dumping them in these small towns, et cetera. I don't know what their, uh, it go is. Martin, and they text her, apparently you and Scott have never run a labor intensive business to try to hire people at any pay. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, but we do follow the wall. Look, uh, I think if you want people to come to work, you, you pay them what their value is and you just charge the world to back in. Sorry. I mean, it's just the way the free market economy is supposed to work. It's, it's not cutting corners and exploiting Haitians with the ditch or servitude, which is sounds like that's what you're pushing. Well, I'm going to run a business. Well, I mean, maybe you're not very good at running your business. Michael Scott hit the nail in the head with ditch or servants. That's exactly what DR Hortons of the world are using to keep their costs low. I've run into cruise making less than a hundred dollars a day for a 12 hour day like she goes. These guys are staying in their bosses trailers using their bosses vehicles and be fed by their bosses. All of that is taken out of their pay. And on top of that, they're having to pay off the ransom from them being trafficked across the border. Trip sent me a couple of images from a book. I bought this at the Cotton Exchange Museum in Memphis, probably between 15. This guy is a big cotton trader. This guy, a big cotton trader, and President of Memphis Cotton Exchange three times was owner of the show boats in the USFL with Trump owned the generals. This is what I have to read that. Unnamed texture. You live there to sit along and go along. You live the go along, sit on their hands gang and just stay in anyone that fights for the people. You get in the air and cry how things get this way. Give me a break. Yes, I'm talking about everyone from Jack Edwards. Number one, if you want to come on my terrible radio show, I'm always going to treat you with respect. Maybe you should try that when you use this text line. Secondly, I would say this. This is a name texture. I'm not a public official. I'm a dumbass behind a microphone. My job is to give opinions on these things. Maybe you want me to try to change the world from this radio show? It's just not going to happen. It's not my job. You listen to the show if you want to know what's going on. And you want my take on things. I think people are being dishonest, like telling us the glocks, which is a constitutional carry permits. The permit was carry is what led to this tragedy on Friday night. Or Saturday night, I should say. So do do with that what you want. I don't really care. What are the possibilities that the polls are being skewed for propaganda? It's pretty low. These pollsters, the problem with the polls on their texture, it's always this to me. You've got to look at the questions. Look at the way they ask the question. And these people can't help themselves. They're liberals. They are left wingers. You've got to look at that. Number one, you've got to look at number two, the samples. And the way they sample these responses. So for example, they are able to get an African American response. They will count that more than they count the white or Caucasian response or whatever. And they're able to get a Hispanic because these are, they look at this. They say, well, these people are hard to find to respond to these polls. So we're going to assume that this one response is worth X amount versus these responses. And I think that was maybe a good way of going about it. What Barack Obama was on the ballot. I don't know that it necessarily works with any other candidate. It's not because it's a great venue. And so it was five points. Music Hall, but I think you're probably too young for five. Oh, no, no, no. I'm in my late 40s. I've been, I went to five points. Music Hall a lot in the day. They spent a little under, spent a wonderful snowy New Year's day of days. We lived right across the street. No, that was like one of the first places too. When you are, when you have a certain age, they would let you in if you were 19 and up. So we would go to five points. Music Hall. And I don't know. It was like Thursday night, I think, because I was at Auburn. But I was co-oping at Birmingham, working at a construction company up there. And I was going to school quarter, working a quarter, going to school quarter, working a quarter. And I remember being in Birmingham and going to five points. Music Hall, but being under age. But I got to be of age and going there and I don't know. It wasn't really a scene for me in my cultural taste. But it used to be a safe place. You could go and not worry about this kind of thing happening to you. Lots of techs to get to here, we'll be right back. This is the Jeff Moore Show at FM Talk about 065. Music Hall. Music Hall. Music Hall. Music Hall. Music Hall. Music Hall. Music Hall. Music Hall. Music Hall. Music Hall. I mean, it's twofold here. But I am putting the onus on these companies that are hiring these people. They know what they're doing. They're hiring them for low, low, low wages. It's like you said in Ditchard's servitude. I don't think we need to be encouraging that. I don't care if it hurts your business's bottom line. I think if it makes things get more expensive. Free markets are fine, but we've got to ask some rules in place when it comes to exploiting human beings. You've got to be here legally. And if you are here legally, what these Haitians are, don't pay them poverty wages or put them in the situation where they're sleeping in your work trailer. Martin says an article on Scary Nations border supersedes economic concerns. Tuskars would be nice if DHS followed the law constitution. Mr. Floyd, I think Georgia suffered from a crappy candidate syndrome. I was the same way you were until I got to talk to her in person, which is like only a couple of times. I think she even came on this show after she lost. She wasn't a bad candidate. She probably needed a little different coaching. I want David Perdue was horrible, but here's the thing. Mr. Floyd, if Doug Collins stays out of that race in 2020. If he was a spoiler, because if he stays out and Republicans go with leftler. That jungle primary, we're not loses. But what happened? He took enough votes away from both. No, we got 50%. She came close. She got the plurality at the time and then come to find out Republicans lose a presidential election. They're just not really animated or excited to go out and vote. A name textured. Hi, Jeff. Up until two years ago, I stayed off to the five points for business. Very good hotels or restaurants. However, no longer do I visit five points as I see the unsettling change. Rest in peace. Five points. Five points south. Yeah. I mean, I'm telling you guys where this shooting took place on Saturday night was used to be kind of a thriving part of Birmingham in a city that was just awful and continues and remains to be awful. Leo, good morning, Jeff. How can you not recognize the efflux of illegals of fake refugees? There's nothing more than the clown or piffins strategy because we don't. I hate these are our fake refugees. I think these are real people fleeing a bad situation in their home countries, Leo. I just think the way the Biden administration going about it might be that they might be trying to overwhelm the system. Finally. John, the fact is guns don't kill people. Bad people kill with what they can poison, drugs and eyes. Guns are their bare hands. I guess the idea is you don't want to make it easier. Therefore, we're not going to we're going to bang locks, which is we're going to make people carry a permit. Is the gun crime rate exactly the same now or even slightly less? It was five years ago when they had permits. These people are stupid or got a stringer on here in a minute and I'm here to hear what he's going to say because he's he's he's he's he's if you want to conservative good guy in the Alabama legislature, he's your guy. He's the second amendment guy, okay, he fell in a sword for this constitutional carry law. Let's get a break there. We'll go back to the Jeff pore show that from talk 10065, thanks for being with us on this Monday morning. Next line 2513430106, keep it coming. We do appreciate the feedback. Still come on the program this morning. Gail Jackson from Huntsville, WVNN and the yellow hammer news that's in the 11 o'clock hour. Let's please stay tuned for that. Joining us now on the line, he represents North Mobile County part of Baldwin County. State representative Shane stringer is on the line representative. Good morning. How are you? Doing great. Thanks for having me. Thanks for making time. Well, I guess I will start here. The shooting Saturday night at five points south in Birmingham is kind of it's a national story right now. And I'm I shouldn't be stunned, but I just it's kind of shameless is what it is. These lawmakers will to a particular a Philip Insler who's made this his quest, but also anything you don't know, some minority leader, I mean, they they are pointing at these Glockswitches and the mayor Birmingham Glockswitches, Glockswitches, Glockswitches, Glockswitches. There's a federal ban on these on the books. They demand a state ban and I don't I mean, I don't know that this necessarily addresses the root of the problem to what led to that tragedy in Birmingham. Now, I mean, first and foremost, that is absolutely a senseless tragedy have happened up there and boils down to some some thugs that, you know, the city and the different agencies are going to have to address. I mean, we cannot keep kicking again down the road and trying to blame everything on guns or Glockswitches or a $20 piece of plastic in the form of a permit. We have got to do proactive policing in these communities that, you know, we've got problems, we've got games, we've got, you know, just thugs that are out of control. I feel everybody that to me, these thugs are kind of like a small child that needs attention. You can if you don't give them the attention they need, they're going to they're going to demand it in the form of some violent acts or something. But if you'll address it and take care of them whenever you're running across them in your normal, everyday activities, you can typically address and slow or minimize some of this from happening. Let me say this and it's a game, it's a game problem. Now, Sir Barfoot had that bill and I this, this is what that bill was meant for in these circumstances to go after this, this organized crime and these, some of these cities. Why aren't we talking about this at all? Why are we on this like weird sort of like permitless carry, Glockswitches, it's all the gun and not, not addressing this aspect of it? Well, this is typically what we see. It's the blame game, you know, let's find the easy solution that to fix this stuff when there is no easy solution. You know, this is, this is a problem in a lot of different facets, whether it's the family element, it's the community element, it's a social economic problem, I mean, there's a lot of factors that play into these situations, but the fact is we have got to address the problem, which is the actors, the people that are doing these evil acts and, you know, we cannot legislate an evil heart in Montgomery, I can pass every law in the world, but that is not going to stop somebody evil from doing wrong. We're going to have to address these people and I'm tired of hearing that our, you know, we can't put nobody in jail or prison because the prisons are overcrowded. It's not an excuse, every part of the criminal justice system has a particular function to take out and if, if I said that I wasn't going to arrest anybody as a police officer because the jails are full, well, that's not my job, I have to do my part. The judges have to do their part, the DA's office, the criminal justice, DOJ has to do their part, so a lot to this other than, you know, trying to blame everything on the gun or a $20 piece of plastic. Let's, let me ask you this, so we'll talk about the Glock switches and they're, well, this is kind of a twofold question, that they're illegal in the eyes of a federal law. There's a statute on the books, right? So correct, number one, if the state were to pass, well, number one, why aren't the feds enforcing the, do we even have any inkling of an idea of why the feds aren't more aggressive in pursuing these, and number two, if the state passes its own ban, I mean, how is this any different from when the state tried to pass its own immigration laws and we're told that the feds had supremacy, therefore, your immigration law is, you know, if you have two levels of government trying to enforce the same law. And that's not uncommon, we hear that every, you know, that's an excuse, every time we try to address a problem in Montgomery, but, you know, the fact is, I've recommended it from day one that let's make stricter penalties on anybody that uses the Glock switch in the commission of a crime, let's add stiffer penalties to them, but, of course, the Democrats don't want to hear that. They want, you know, their solution is let everybody, all these follow the fenders out of jail, and that's going to make us safer, which I don't absolutely don't know where they're getting their information or facts. So the Glock switch is already illegal through the federal government, and they are pursuing these cases, I've heard from other law enforcement officers throughout the South, and the federal government is prosecuting these cases as local authorities are bringing them to them. So I don't think that passing it under a state law is going to fix this problem. But yeah, this is, and the way, the way some of your, I guess, Republican colleagues or even some conservative commentators, they're like, well, why don't we just do it, just have it on the books, just, just to make them happy? But I really think that they're using that issue to not really address the fundamental problem, which is, hey, you got a gang problem in your city, and I guess the question would be like, how do you go about fixing that? You just have to saturate these, these areas that you have to create a task force to address games and gang activity in your city or in your community, that's common. That's what we do. And as you do that, you develop intel on these games, and they've done it in mobile. You know, you go through, and I think it was guerrilla records years ago, it got real big in mobile, and mobile PD and so there are FBI and other agencies involved put together a task force. They built their intel on who the key players were and who the problematic people were, and they went after them and addressed them and called them in the commission of crimes and prosecuted them, sent them to prison, and they just banned that gang. So you've got to be proactive in dealing with these gangs and dealing with problems in your community. If you've got a problematic area, you've got to saturate that area and push that criminal element out or put them in jail, one or the other. Well, your colleague Alan Treadaway used to be assistant police chief in Birmingham. The culture is as such, there is absolutely no fear, concern whatsoever of law enforcement in these cities. Now, now, we could talk about that, but that's a cultural problem. But the response from these cities, they don't ever address that. They don't, they don't, something happened when needs to, when Randall Woodford and Stephen Reid became mayor and over time, the trend has been, I don't know if it's a like a policy function or something, but the trend has been a lot of mass exodus of law enforcement from these cities and a obviously a rise in crime, and we know like reading from another one of your colleagues wants to do some kind of takeover of police departments. But, but seriously, like look at this problem, and I can see it becoming a problem in other places in the state representative, what do you, is this is just, there's nothing at the state level that can be done here to tell these guys to get their act together. Or is it just, I mean, you know, elections are consequences, this is who they elected, and we'll have to live with it. Well, I think you're exactly right. I think, you know, there's absolutely a shortage of officers in Birmingham, and they're running skeleton crews from what I understand from, from officers I've spoke to up there. So they've got problems, and a lot of that comes down to the morale of the department. And, you know, if you don't have a, in, in our society, you know, a person is considered innocent to approve and guilty, well, what we had gotten to at one point to appease a certain minority of our population, we would assume the officers guilty until proven innocent. And the officers are not taking that chance anymore. The morale is low, there's better pay and jobs, and they're leaving because they don't feel like the administration or the department stands behind them, and that's, that's a leadership problem. And, you know, whether it be in the mayor's leadership or the chief leadership, but they've got some leadership issues they need to address to get the morale and get people to want them to be police. There's plenty of people that want to be the police, they're just not doing it because they're scared that the administration or the city will not have their back in, you know, in tough calls. I'm joined by state representative Shane Stringer here in the program. This very well may be a political scapegoating thing here, but are you sort of surprised, like, the way a lot of these guys are coming after some of these second amendment issues or they're downplaying the second amendment aspect of it. Well, if you're serious about a solution here, and if you take them at the ward and they deep down believe that whatever policy is the state of Alabama I have put in place is, you know, one of the reasons behind this, well, well, they're not, I mean, is it realistic to think that the current, you know, the state of Alabama, the legislature, which has a Republican super majority is going to be very eager to pass a bunch of laws curbing gun rights. No, and I don't think so. I think that, you know, to be realistic about it, we're going to have to look at the root problems of a lot of these crimes and this one, particularly, I think it's going to come back to gang activity, you know, given somebody, and truthfully, let's be truthful, we're addressing it with permits and stuff like that. All you're addressing is the law-abiding citizens because that's who gets permits. The criminals do not, so targeting law-abiding citizens that own guns is not the solution. We're going to have to find ways to address these criminals and the criminal element, and if it means building more prisons, then let's build them. Well, I don't even understand the purple, it was a scary argument that by nature, they didn't have to go down to the courthouse to get a gun permit, so since they didn't have to do that, that they're going to go, it's open season on their adversarial gang members or whatever. What am I missing here? I agree with you. I mean, a lot of people tend to forget that the permit only addressed the pistol when, you know, these thugs are hearing AR and AR style rifles. They're hearing short barrel rifles, short barrel shotgun. That stuff is not covered under a permit anyway, so this is not going to, you know, the permit stuff is nothing but a revenue situation that just raises revenue for sure apartments, and we put a grant process in place to help cover that, and that money is, there's still plenty of that money there, so obviously, you know, if it was that bad of a problem, that money would be gone and we'd be looking at other solutions. And as far as the state response, I mean, if things got too out of control, and I'm not saying that this is what the governor should do, but I mean, you can always call it an national guard. I mean, there is a state response, but that ought to be like, that ought to be like the last resort, right? And trying to like find something that's kind of in between seats, these problematic look, it's what we talk a lot of your colleagues say this whenever I bring this up representative. Elections have consequences. These are the people this leadership is elected by the people in these cities where they have these problems, and they have not made a change. They're uninterested in making a change. And that's sort of the way it's got to go for now, I guess. That is correct. What we see in elections, a lot of times people vote on the person that they like the best or their personality or something about them that they like more than the other, and it's not always about the policies and the procedures and their way of thinking. And they better get to listening to some of that digging into a person to see where they stand on policies and procedures and what they want, because doing away with the second amendment is not going to be the solution to India. Birmingham is going to have to do kind of, they could do what Montgomery is doing, which is they've created a task force, which is what I said earlier. They've got the Aaliyah, members of Aaliyah, they've got members of the Montgomery Police Department, the Sheriff's Department, and others that have created a task force to address some of the issues they're having in Montgomery. And that's what you do to fix some of these problems, and you target, and you go after these criminals. You arrest them just as bad as they are harassing the good citizens of Montgomery. Well, last question, we'll get you out of here on this. I mean, state government has to function, and there's, I don't know if you're aware, Todd Stacey's subscription website says there's a kind of a feud going on between David Bronner and the mayor of Montgomery over the out of control crime. We heard that there's like a bullet hole in one of these green rooftops, the RSA buildings that dominate the landscape in downtown Montgomery. Can state government function? And that, I mean, not just the legislature, but also the executive and judicial branches, if it's a quasi-war zone and where you guys meet during session? A hundred percent we can. I mean, I've been up there every year for the last seven years, and, you know, I actually go out and exercise, walk, jog, when I'm up there, and, you know, I feel safe. It's, you know, of course, I know how to protect myself and know what to look for, but, you know, they've got their problems and issues, and I don't think it's to that point yet, you know, like you said earlier, I don't think it's to where they need to call out the National Guard or anything like that. They may need to get a help from a Lea and the sheriff's department and other agencies, but they're going to have to target these problematic areas. We've got predicted policing where computer systems that will predict where these crimes are going to happen, where they've already happened, and it can pretty much tell us what areas to target, and we're going to have to target them. We're going to have to get in those areas, saturate them and try to weed out these bad actors. Representative, you're always very generous with your time, and thanks for making time for us. Let's talk again soon. Yes, sir. Thank you. Change string early, ladies and gentlemen. We're right back. This is F.B. Talk. 1-0-6-5. [MUSIC] Welcome back to the JetPort showed up and talked about 0-6-5-2-5-1-3-4-3-0-1-0-6-0-6. That's the text line. We got a bunch of text to get to here. Off of our conversation with our participant, Strigger, still a couple of programs. Dale Jackson, WV&N, Yohammer News, that said about a little more than a half hour from now. One thing we haven't spent a lot of time on it, and I mentioned it at the very top of the program, but I'm going to give it a real quick wrap up here once again. I know there's a big high drama, city council meeting in Fair Hope tonight, and somehow I don't know where this guy out or where it came from that they're going to try to settle Haitian refugees in Fair Hope. And you can imagine when that comes up, the conversation, the reaction that we'll ensue from that. Let me say this, though, we have heard that there is some interest in settling Haitian migrants in Baldwin County, Baltimore County is a big county for a little river, the Fort Morgan to the floor, Bama. That's a lot of geography. And we were told that Jay Palmer, who is a guy who's been on this, he's been on like kind of a tour talking about what the, the, the Biden administration is up to with this resettlement. He says he has heard Baldwin County. I don't know where he got it. It's hard to track down and it just sounds a little, I don't know, I'm not really sharing his sources there, but it's, it's, it's whipped up a lot of people to this frenzy. Now, the Fair Hope part of it is this, you have a city council member, who I've told is a good guy, a good, honest, seems to be a guy that people really like, they pouring Martin and city council place too, and maybe you know him out there is, I'd say this about him. He, for whatever reason, signed this letter that was a lot of flowery pro resettlement language. And I don't know. He says he signed it sometime in 23, maybe even 22, but it's 2024 and it is just now surface this month and, and not after all this heightened awareness about resettlement, he Thomas Action Jackson and Travis Idricks were the three sightings from Alabama and they just put it out this month. And that became, that's a story to me, even if he objects, we'll be right back. I was in the hospital with my son for 18 months. When he got injured, I wasn't prepared, but I knew I had to be strong. When I was told about John's injury, I was in complete shock. I just remember rushing into his room and giving him a big hug and letting him know I was there. These veterans and families are just a few of the heroes we serve at Homes For Our Troops. For thousands of severely injured veterans, everyday life is filled with barriers. It was really the little things throughout the house, counters that you can't roll up to, how to drag my wheelchair down steps. I want to help, but he is so determined.

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 Porte Show, welcome back to the Jeff Porte Show on FFTN Talk 106-5-2513-4301-06, you want to be in touch with the show, all you got to do is hit us up on the text line. Still a couple on the program, Dale Jackson, WVNN, and ELA Hammer news, I kind of want you to do is starting to break, I think this is another tale, and MSNBC, we see in particular, they have spent a lot of time focusing on the subgroups of their survey, Blacks, Hispanic, women, whatever, and they break it down, and the way they break it down, it shows a lot of Harris supporters, over Trump supporters, down there at the bottom, it's like men and white males or whatever, they're not focused on the bottom line, they're just focused on these groups, why is that? Well, I tell you what it is, because I don't think they feel very good about where they are with these other groups, unless she's gating among Black supporters, is she? I don't know, and the way they have to conduct these surveys, like I was explaining in the last hour, they get a response from a certain demographic that they say is hard to reach, they count that more. There's a methodology, a scientific, they try to, based on their worldview, get as accurate as possible, the flaw in their methodology is their worldview, I just, I think they anticipate a higher turnout and some demographics than is actually reality, and you'll have to look at what you're close like among registered voters, among adults, among the key constituency is likely voters, like they had to determine what a likely voter is, but what they brought in the sample, and they include adults or it's just registered voters, the poll tends to skew Democrat, let's just face it, the Democrats have a turnout problem, they always have, it's hard to get Democrats engaged and motivated to turn out, and it's the exact opposite for Republicans in 2020 is an example of that, they way underplayed voter turnout for Republicans, we asked, there's so many different ways of voting in that last election cycle, they looked like it was favoring Democrats overall, but then boy on election day, Republican stepped up, and that made that election a lot closer than what the pollster said it was, but I'm telling you, you watched the way this is being covered and talked about it, what they choose to focus on, it's not necessarily the bottom line number, let's get through some text here, Mr. Plaid, glad to hear that about Kelly Loeffler, it just seems as she kept repeating that same line over and over, we must stop the left wing socialist Rafael Warnock yada yada yada, I think what really cost, and people want to pin that election between Warnock and Loeffler on Donald Trump and his sort of bitterness about the 2020 election, look, you had a dispirited Republican base, number one, but number two, you had Warnock and the Biden administration, the incoming Biden administration, I should say, offering freebies, we're going to pass the stimulus bill and you're going to get a check if we're in control of the US Senate, and they did, and I think that had a lot to do with it as well, yeah, we'll see here, Jeff, I can remember back in the day, it's pretty hard to get a pistol permit, you had to show a letter of recommendation from your pastor, Greg, I have a police officer friend that are quite, this says these people and their victims don't want to prosecute each other, he says you knock on the door and they pretend like no one is home on either side, I don't know how you arrest someone if nobody wants to tell the officer on one that someone's done something wrong, I don't understand that culture either. My name, texture, Jeff, are problems in Birmingham, the result of a lack of good control over abundance of Democrat control, that's what it is, it's just like Democrats have a totally different way, managerial style, and then they, you know, you can say that it's got merit or it doesn't, well, they'll seem to Democrat control cities, merit doesn't matter, it's just, we have to social engineer everything, but if you're not putting the best people in the needed places in the high paying jobs, the places that demand the most out of that individual, you're putting people there in the world as cash as you want to see it, and you're playing like kind of like God of all it takes is, well, you know, just the will to put somebody there, it is going to work, but if you're not relying on a meritocracy system, this is what happens, gene, and mobile hundred, eleven thousand guns were stolen from irresponsible, supposedly good guys, and that's how the bad guys get the weapon, what would you do, gene, outlaw guns, well, I'm serious, what's the solution to that? Jim, your gas, graciously danced around the issue, I disagree with that, can we just want to be, Harris not leads in every major forecast, including Nate Silver's projection. Art, I hear where Harris is asking for a second debate on CNN, I think Trump would be well served to say he would accept a debate, but it must be Fox News, the Harris people are never going to do it on Fox, ever. Glenn, Jeff, how you feel about Oliver Tiger football program, asking for a friend, not very good. I never was a Hugh Freeze fan, I could be, I could be convinced otherwise, I don't like projects, I don't like remedial projects, the Auburn University football program has wasted money on all of this. Did we think Hugh Freeze would be the next next saving, seriously, the people, I mean down there, did the Board of Trustees, they did Hugh Freeze was going to be the next Paul Bear Bryant, or I would even sell for Pat Dyer, or somebody, but I just, I laugh at this. The whole sports talk on you here, I don't like this coach, they got a quarterback situation, he did not focus on getting a quarterback, the play colleague is weird, but a lot of, a lot of mistakes in that game, and kind of watching it, it's one thing to make a mistake or two here and there, but there's so many mistakes, so many turnovers, that the team looks undercoach to me, and then I don't like this, I think this is an awful look, the coach not accepting responsibility for the loss. CEO, Jeff, if you believe the refugees from Haiti are in the chit, we need to make room for Ethiopia, Liberia, Zimbabwe, and most of Africa, this cannot continue, well no, well, Leo, hold on, Biden administration signed an executive order, allowing for asylum seekers from four countries, Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, they are, they are eligible for what is called parole, and they are released pending their due process for their asylum hearing. Now, let me tell you about this asylum stuff, I mean back during the Cold War, we encourage these Germans or Soviets or Cubans to flee their country and we granted them asylum status, may the, the Biden administration, these left wing administrations have abused this, but it's not, this doesn't apply to every, the law of the Biden administration, I think is misusing, doesn't apply to anywhere but those four countries, I mean, Haiti, Cuba, Nicaragua, and they text, and I agree, it can't continue, but just keep that in perspective, and they text your Trump is done to debates where the Democrats want them. They owe him one old Fox, this is just not going to give him that she will not show up for a Fox News debate, come on Harris is not going to be on a Fox News stage. Roger, think we should pull Tupperville out of retirement, I don't know about that. As much as I love the Albert Tigers, and I remember fondly the Tupperville days mostly, I mean, there were some bad times too, coaches best serving us in the United States Senate. Sean, you see Bo Walsh going off on you for easel Twitter? Yes. Well, that's that's part of my frustration here because he's right. But who else are you going to get bring back Chiswick? I mean, here we are sitting here today, Sean, and I just, I don't, Hugh freeze one or whoever you think. I mean, I'd rather bring back Mal's honor. Why didn't we get Lane Kiffin? If you listen to five Bob the other night, he was saying that Kiffin wanted Auburn job and we never, it just didn't happen. I don't want Bobby Petrino. I don't want these remediation projects at Auburn University. This isn't, look, we're, we are not Liberty. We're not even Vanderbilt or Mississippi State. The Auburn University puts in a lot of money into its football program and we're getting these, these has been's. He's also ran's and that's, it's always bothered me. Like, what, what are they spending? We're going to buy another Jumbo Tron. Michael, I'll trade you Scott Strickland and Billy Napier for y'all's ID and coach any day. My Gators are laughing stock from the athletic department all the way down to the water boys. Paul says offense looks thrown to the wolves. Defense seem coach is okay. My champ would come. That's about it. It's probably what I was thinking. Like how could we get Will Muschamp back on the planes as sorry for you stick to the issues guys, but the politics here and I, the yellow fellow and he's just a, the modern version of Bobby Louder at Auburn University. This, this, Hugh Free's situation is going to indentures boys and girls. Jerry worked out well for Texas. Yeah, well, one out of how many Jerry. Let's get a break here. We're right back. This is the Jeff four show at the talk. One oh six five table. There'll be time enough to count when the deal is done. Every camera knows. Just hear that with the wind. See the stars out of the purple sky. Feel that long. Welcome back to the Jeff Port showed up and talk. One of those things fight. Thanks for staying with us on this Monday morning. Two five one three four three zero one zero six. We get through some of these texts before we get to our next guest. They'll Jackson's come up here shortly. I come up tomorrow on the program. John Wall of the Alvin Republican Party. So please make sure you stay tuned for that. I'll see Jeff. How about Auburn hiring major Applewhite? Just a thought. I would necessarily be against that. I guess he could recruit here at Alabama. But let's say this. We'll look at the last several hires. Gus Mouse on Arkansas State or Gene Chiswick Iowa State losing record. You can Brian Harson was kind of a wild card for Boise State. Now he frees. Why aren't these guys hiring like a real bonafide proven like what? Spend the money and get the right guy. But the other problem with this is it's just the state of college football now. The SEC. Auburn has deep pockets, but not as deep as Texas. We like one billionaire on our board. They got like eight billionaires on their board. Say with Oklahoma. Alabama. I mean, essentially Auburn University. We're the San Diego Padres of the SEC. Every now and then they'll have a good season and make the playoffs. Maybe make it to the World Series and you know, as 2010 showed, you could squeak out a national championship. But you're always going to be playing in the shadows of the Giants and Dodgers and the Yankees and these big market teams. That's what calls football is now. Auburn should go out to Belichick's kid and you can have Bill working away on keeping things straight. Bruce, no matter what Jeff War Eagle, thank you Bruce. Mobilean and Auburn Jeff Chiswick was running around exercising around Jordan here 68 of Saturday morning. He's unemployed here to Auburn and no doubt could at least steady the ship. You would hire him to be like a defensive coordinator or something perhaps. I don't, I don't, I don't think that's our guy. We, we, Auburn should not be waiting and lying behind Ole Miss or Missouri or even Kentucky. We may be like only up or end of mid major right now than the state of college football because of the just the, the way cash is dispensed now. But there are some programs that are way outperforming their, their historic role in college football. And I just, there's something, there's something off about if you look at the trend of the last several coaches at Auburn. I mean, I think Tuberville is kind of a coup. That was a big get coming from Ole Miss. I thought Terry Bowden was just kind of a cop out. Pat Dye turned out to be a good coach. What do you need to go make the like dunk Barfield and Chuck Jern. Squirrel. Well, Democrats marked the anniversary of Bernie as a master like Bloody Sunday. Probably not. Randall freezes the right guy. He's four games into the second season war eagle. I, I'm not with you there. I just don't like these projects at all. I'm not a patient person because I've been told to be patient for 20 years now. 2010 was a fluke. We got robbed in 2004. And then 2013 was probably a fluke as well. We'll be right back. This is the Jeff Moore Show at F@TALK1065. A couple guys in first class on a flight from New York to Los Angeles. Kind of making small talk, killing time, flirting with the flight attendant. We got back to the basics of love. Let's go. Welcome back to the Jeff Moore Show at F@TALK1065. Take it out with us on this Monday morning. Two five one three four three zero one zero six. That's the text. That's how you get touched with the program. Joining us now on the light. We do this every Monday. It's my pleasure. Introduce Dale Jackson. WVNN and Yellow Hammer News. Dale. Good morning. How are you? I could not be better. Great weekend. The Gators won. It was fantastic. And now they get to get beat every weekend after this forever. He beat the, the beat to juggernaut Mississippi State Bulldogs. Yay. Put up 48. Look at that. The offense is back. We're back, baby. Well, I'm glad to see that. I don't, I think I would much prefer like a school like Florida doing well than a school like Mississippi State. Yeah. Well, they both suck. So don't worry about it. Speaking of sucking, but we won't get into that either. Well, there's no, um, how about the city of Birmingham and no, and in a way, Randall Woodfin. And I know this is a mobile audience, but I, I cannot believe these people. And Stephen Reed, back at him up. Glock switch, Glock switch, Glock switch. I mean, I think it makes perfect sense. I mean, think about it. If, if Glock switches were, were more illegal in Birmingham, then none of this ever would have happened. I mean, that, that's what the bears telling us, right? And, and to believe that what he's saying is stupid. Well, I mean, that would just be foolish because they're already illegal. The attorney, excuse me, the district attorney there in July said he's going to put a push on this. And he's going to go after these people who have these Glock switches. He put up concrete barriers inside some of the neighborhoods. And that didn't fix it. I just don't know what more the man could do. He's tried nothing and it didn't really work. So, so what do we expect from this guy? I know, I don't like putting it on the lawmakers at all. I think that it's just a, I, it's just a total, like, you know, it's completely kind of, but he's responsible for this. Like, you know, like, Hey, we, we, you know, the laws are the laws and the Glock switches according, there's no wall in the books in Alabama, but they're not, there's no mass shootouts in Dothan are, are in, I don't know, Scottsboro. They got a gang problem in Birmingham. That's what it's about. And they, and he needs to be talking about, yep. And he, he needs to go in there and make it as clear as possible that they are going to prosecute every person they interact with from here on out to the full extent of the law, no matter what it is, until order is restored. He should be begging K.I.V. to send in the national guard or state troopers. He should be begging for that. Instead, he is doing dumb stuff like, you guys just pass a Glock switchband. They, they wouldn't have got four guys out of a car shooting at a guy inside a hookah lounge. Yes, they would have this exact same thing would have happened. Oh, if you guys had concealed carry permits, that wouldn't have happened. I mean, give me a break. You know, murdering someone's illegal too. And these guys were doing that as well. So I don't understand it. He doesn't understand it. He is not a smart person. It is clear that this man is not a smart person. This sucks style over substance. He wears a suit. Well, and he says the right dumb things. And because of that, he can be mayor there forever, but you know, they can help the city. Well, let me ask you this. I mean, like you hear a lot of people say, well, it's because these police departments are woke now or they chit and they got more DEI like, I don't, I don't know that's on it. I don't know that that to be the case. But what would it was to come and denominator with Birmingham and Montgomery and a sort of spiral there? And it's a cultural thing. I mean, we all know this. Then there's a cultural thing. I'm not I will acknowledge it's a gang problem. But how come other cities are able to handle their gang problems better that Birmingham and Montgomery? Well, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know since we gang problems are better able to better handle them. I don't know. I don't know if there's like, is there a is there a city that's doing it and doing it well with an active gang problem? I don't know the answer to that question. I don't know. Maybe there is, but I don't know the answer to that. But they can only deal with the problem that they have. And look, you can tell me that Montgomery is the second safest place in the state. If you want to or the country, and I went down there and I talked to some cops about that this weekend and every single cop I talk to laughed, laughed. I'm probably belly laughed when they heard this. Like they were like, this is ridiculous. Nobody believes that. And but my point of bringing that up is to say in Montgomery, I mean, they're currently in some sort of active partnership with the attorney general's office. Why don't they do that in Birmingham? I mean, why is it Birmingham begging for the same thing? They've made hundreds of around 127 arrests. They've got a bunch of fentanyl off the street and guns off the street and all this other stuff. I mean, that that's how you do this with better policing. Not with, you know, this sure is unfair that the legislature won't make these gun locks, which is more illegal. It's just it's like it's just a cop out. But I mean, it's kind of worse than that. It's just just blame shifting. I and I like, you know, that needs to be called out. Like you could he do a better job as mayor handling this problem? I mean, he could not possibly do a worse job. Like, I mean, he is so bad at this. It's just like what policies or what? What's sort of like, what can he do? Well, yeah, but besides doing it rhetorically, like, they'll start walking people up and be like, what can they do? I mean, you have to move it from the rhetorical situation. I mean, you have to actually do it. They have to start putting more people in jail hitting these people with serious crimes, locking them up and putting the fear of God back into into the bad guys. The bad guys aren't going to ever become good guys. There's going to be less bad. I mean, that's basically what you're going to have to do. There is no other solution. There's no magic speech he can give with a rapper and a church like he likes to do. That's not going to ever do anything. You know, we all know it. It's some of this too. They're trying to have it both ways, aren't they? Like, I mean, there's there's a perception in some of these majority black cities that the police, the weaponization of police and this heavy hand from your law enforcement in your city. And I think the some of these Democrat mayors are trying to like be more hands off. And I think that in turn changes the outcomes. I mean, yeah, I mean, you and I are basically saying the same thing though. I mean, that you can't have this hands off. You know, we're going to we're going to placate the political elites who want to have, you know, I don't think he's the elites. I think he's so it is everybody. I mean, I mean, I think it's a mix. I don't think everybody in like the inner city wants a lax police protection. I think a lot of people would like more police protection. But there's such a perception that the police, I mean, you know, the racist or or whatever. And I, you know, I think like these mayors, Stephen Reed and Randall Woodford in particular, demagogue a little bit in their city politics. Yeah, this is not right. And but I would argue that they are in fact playing to the elites because what they're doing is because the elites are the ones who do this, you know, you know, defund the police. You know, we need to have a different way of policing and all those other stuff. It's not that's not done by the people in the streets. The people living in these neighborhoods were being terrorized. They don't want to defund the police. They want more cops in their neighborhood. Everyone wants more cops in their neighborhood. Everyone's harder policing. I mean, that's that's why I say it is the elites who want this that he is. He's responding. He is policing or at least running his city. The way the folks on CNN want him to run the city. And then it, you know, but the outcomes, I mean, like if we're conducting a new experiment and we're trying to here's your hypothesis and then we go through the motions of whatever the scientific method we're trying to figure out and our conclusion comes to this like this doesn't work. And what it looks like to me is, yes, we know it doesn't work, but we're going to blame blocks, which is instead. Yes, that's exactly right. Yeah. The conclusion is easy, but to figure out what they're telling you it is or what they want to talk about, I think has little to do. Well, maybe it has a lot to do with the problem, but it's not it doesn't you've you could ban blocks, which is tomorrow at the state level. It's already banned at the federal level. You're still going to have this this this situation. Correct. Yeah. And they and they don't really seem this is the problem that the left has with these issues in general. They don't have any real plan. They have no idea what to actually do. They don't know. All they know how to do is say this problem is bad. They have no solution for this because if they did, they would implement even mass shootings at schools are like, do something. Okay. What? When you go to a when you go to the fair, you could buy a gun. It's like, what? Like, what are you? What are you trying to say? Are you going to show loopholes at the dumb thing you're trying to get to? Yeah, yeah. Gun show loopholes. Okay. How did that affect this in any way? She performed it doesn't. They're just idiots. And they only know how to say certain things in clocks, which is as the latest one. Joined by Dale Jackson, W V and N. And he'll hammer news. So that's what you mentioned. Presidential politics and like it's it's such a slog to get excited about talking about this. But what do you think at this point? I mean, it's just nothing seems to really be changing. They throw out a bunch of stupid things, try to tie Trump to the lieutenant governor in North Carolina. I don't think that's going to work. Didn't I call that like last week when we talked about this? I don't remember. The answer she asked. Yes, I did. And and they, but I don't think it's going to work. And they're just it reached a desperation to me. Of course it is. And he's saying it is desperation. I mean, that's exactly what it is. There's no question about that. It is it's absolute desperation. They need every bad thing to be tied to Trump and they will just cycle through them as they continue. And we will do this right up until the end of the election. I mean, it's like the law of diminishing returns has been going on for eight years. But Donald Trump is still his own worst enemy. He will continue to be his own worst enemy. And he will have to figure out exactly how he's going to eventually pull out a W at the end. Well, here's what it is. If the 2020 polling errors or margins of air were the same thing happens now, Trump wins every swing state is 2022. She wins every swing. Here's what it is. And you're right. Donald Trump does a committee on four stairs or there's not like they're not sitting on a real October surprise. I don't know what that could be in 2024. I know. What do they hold it? Exactly. Like we've been he's been through everything and he survived everything. But that's why the whole the whole thing about like, Oh, he's going to do this. And he's like, he's already been president. What are you talking about? Yeah, no one's buying that. But people are going to go vote on this. And it used to be what I liked Donald Trump or I liked Trump. I think I think it's just a total referendum on your life. Like how do you feel about the economy? How do you feel about the direction of the country? It's immigration. It's all of these seats that are going to composite. And you're going to say like, yeah, I think it's going to suck right now. Maybe it's time for a change because all the campaigning they're doing, I don't know that it matters, maybe on the margins, but it's going to come down to referring them on how people feel about things. And there are people out there that are pretty feel pretty good about where they are in life right now. It is since it's Biden's been president. Let them make that argument to their fellow citizens. Just fewer of them, right? But there are people like I think there are, you know, people in them, especially in the metropolitan areas. Yeah, they're paying $12 for a box of cereal. You know, the CNN thing, the interview was CNN with the guy who owns the boat. I'm sure you saw that. There was an interview they did and the guy was a boater and the lady's like, well, why do you care about this? You have a boat and he's like, what do you mean? Why do I care about this? I have a boat. It hurts everyone below us too. I care about other people. These are not these are not quotes, but this is the gist of it. It's like in order for it to be affecting me, it's going to have to hurt a lot of people till it gets to me. You know, and then she was like indignant that he would be like concerned about the cost of gasoline when he's out here partying on a boat. Now, so they're interviewed a guy with a beer in his hand and it was shirt off, but you know, it is what it is. But the interview itself, I think it was eye opening because I think it tells the story of where the media is. Like, what do you care? You're rich. You shouldn't be worried about this. I don't know why you're trying to tell people that, but that's what they're trying to do. But the media are dumb. I mean, they, they, they operate on a conventional wisdom. You're right. Like, oh, he's got to believe us be rich, but, but that's like, that's the way they think. Like they believe this as as asinine as it sounds. That's their oral view. It's just, it's just not steeped in reality. It's like steeped in the whatever mediocre northeast Atlantic seaboard for your college they went to. Wow. Okay. Yeah. I mean, you're right. Yes. Oh, yeah. I like Hampton Sydney grad or whoever, you know, like, it's not, I mean, they're not Ivy League or shit, but these are like very mediocre people. Yeah, they're clowns. And then no one's ever been impressed with them. And everyone knows that they're kind of jokes. And everyone knows that it's kind of embarrassing that they're, that they're out here doing what they're doing because, you know, these people are supposed to be the opinion makers or the, or the, the people who are changing the world. And they're just telling these dumb stories and everyone's like, this is stupid. Why are you telling us this? And I think that's how people generally think they think the whole thing is kind of dumb, but you know, you got to remember this. Let's just so out of time, people vote who believe them. But it's just scary part. It is. It is scary, but it, but it, but it comes down to it. Just they're out of touch and they operate. Like I said, on a instead of like views, I don't know where it comes from. I think it doesn't really exist, but it's the reality that they have decided to go with in their reporting. And that's where you get to stupid like situations or cable news. Yeah, that's exactly right. I mean, they went out there looking for somebody who was going to say, I don't like Kamala Harris because of the economy. And she knew the minute someone did something like that, she was going to say, well, aren't you out here on your big old boat? And she did not expect the person to fire back the way they did. I give them credit for putting it on the air. I just, we'll wrap it up with this for a little long, but I'm telling you these, we tend to put these people on a pedestal to have these jobs like your girl like Caitlyn Collins, but they're not, I mean, they're not really that impressive at all. They're not deep thinkers. I mean, they could do their execute, their job functions really well and that gets them to where they are, but they're not like smarter than you or I. They really aren't. I agree. Hey, real question, before we go for you, should Trump do the debate, even though he's not going to, we all know he's not going to, but should he? I don't think he, what does he gain from it? I don't know. I don't think he does. I don't think he can. I don't think he gained from it. I think he's done. I think he had to be done with the debates. Just if he lets it ride, it doesn't screw it up, he's going to win. I mean, that's fair enough, right? Yeah. Yeah. Where can people find you? I ever run social media at the email Jackson Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, twitchy, twitchy thing, Twitter, twitch, whatever. I don't know what these things are. There we go. All these different places. I'm everywhere. They'll just actually jump over at Vegas is the Jeff Porsche Show. What if it talk? 106.5 If you look before a fight, try that hit and it's wrong as hell. This double. Oh, the llama, can this really be the end to disturb the sound of movie with the Memphis games again? Welcome back to the Jeff Porsche Show up and talk about 106.5. Thanks for sticking around on what's the left of this Monday morning. John Wall, cut up tomorrow in the program. I'll look at two of the guests to be named later. Real quickless blasters of text. I think Auburn is finally realizing their stepchild of Alabama. Ole Miss Kentucky, Mizzou are all the state schools. Auburn isn't scrolled. The culture isn't afraid of police with white liberals on their side. Mark, if you own a boat, just means you have a lot of bills, not rich, toothless bammer. The candidates that's wanting debate is losing. And then finally, I believe some of these polls you see with Harris leading us to try to discourage the conservative vote. Maybe, maybe, but I look at those closely. I see registered voters, especially that NBC poll. Why? Why are they surveying registered voters? Why aren't they trying to determine who the likely voters are and asking them who they want to vote for? Anyway, enough of that. Going up here shortly, mid-day mobile. Sean, what's got coming? Don't you think the inverse could be true as well? I would say that if you want to motivate people to get out and vote for Trump, you would have the poll show him behind. I mean, the same thing, so we say, "Oh, it's to disincentivize Trump voters." I think it actually would incentivize them. They're like, "Hey, don't sit on your morals here. You got to get out and vote." I mean, it's more like a 20-point lead for Harris that these pollers show it. I'll say, "Yeah, they're trying to demoralize the support," but they wouldn't keep it this close. That was the game. That's like, and that closeness, I think, is a motivator. Yeah, so I'm not a big believer in that theory. You said, "Are they would do this? They would get Trump a big lead. Oh, it doesn't matter. It's just like voting in Alabama. It's going to go for Republicans anyway. Why bother?" Right. I'm more interested in swing states and how they get things turned out. Hey, coming up here in just a few minutes, midday mobile, hour number one, from the traffic engineering department in the city of Mobile, Jennifer White joins me. This is that discussion I've been wanting to have forever about how the lights work and all this good stuff. We talked about light sinking and how long you sit at a light and those kind of things. We'll talk about that with her. Also, on the way, hour number two, Todd Stacy is going to join me. Plus, we'll check in on the great Alabama 650, the world's largest, longest canoe race that goes on right here in the waters of Alabama. There's people already finished up. There's people along the route. We'll get an update from the canoe race coming up about 130 today. So a lot coming up on midday mobile, just a couple minutes from now. Hey, Glocks, what's your shine? I mean, we ban those in Alabama, problem solved, right? Yes, right, right. How about we ban the people that would use the weapon with the Glocks which if we ban them, then that'll be helpful. All right, well, I got to get out of here. I'll leave it on that nugget of wood. So it has been a pleasure. I will try to do better tomorrow. Sorry, Phyllis. I forgot to say goodbye.
