Jeff Poor Show - Wednesday 9-25-24
from Bucks pocket to the shores of Orange Beach at all points in between an insider's perspective on Alabama politics. It's the Jeff Porshow. I don't think. Hey, this way. Good morning. Welcome to the Jeff Porshow. What a six five. They should be with us on this Wednesday morning. Two five one three four three zero one zero six. That's how you touch with the. Program if you want to interact with the show host. Sometimes it's good. Sometimes it's bad. Sometimes it's somewhere in between. Coming up on the program today. We'll talk to Gary Palmer. That's about a 30 minutes from now. He is the congressman from the sixth congressional district. Making time for us. Always appreciative of that. Joey Clark, you know him from Montgomery radio. He's on this show every Wednesday as sort of a sort of a tradition, but he'll be with us in the 10 o'clock hour. Didn't grace it ever. And I haven't had him on in a while, but with Yellow Hammer news, he has a piece in and I, you know, we were talking in the last hour. It's a it's a piece about a speculative piece. I should say about who might run for a G and Alabama. We spent a lot of time talking about who's the next governor and maybe a little bit of lieutenant governor. One of the one of the underreported are under discussed things has been the turning general in Alabama who's on that list. His list. I'm just going to give me the rundown for those of you that keep up with this stuff. I believe he's got a Jay Mitchell who's on the Alabama. Supreme Court. He's at J town who's on this program sometimes from North Alabama former US attorney. Catherine Robertson, who is General Marshall's chief of staff on that list, Arthur, or the state senator in education, a budget committee chairman from North Alabama on that list as well. So get his rundown about that. And we'll we'll we'll we'll we'll we'll see kind of what he thinks. Maybe we'll talk some other races as well. In the meantime, you want to be in touch with the program. Let's again, two, five, one, three, four, three, zero, one, zero, six, Zelensky is addressing you in general assembly right now. That seems to be the big stories. Let's get around running around the country right now. And campaigning for Kamala Harris. How do you feel about that? Very, very just just very, very derogatory about JD Vance. And very, he's critical of Trump, but not quite as critical of Trump as he is Vance. I mean, this is a mistake he is making. Not not did it, you know, not not did you if Trump were to win the presidency, not that he was going to like bolster a Western president in Ukraine by any stretch of the imagination. But you want to like get all his bad side do that. So let's start speaking about the virtues of a Harris presidency. And I think the answer is going to happen. He's going to turn on trouble will absolutely offer nothing to Zelensky. I don't know. That's going to keep an eye on that with what's going on United Nations. The polls, I think are still very, they seem to be trending in a very good direction for Trump. Quinn Piac poll yesterday. Look, this is what I've kind of noticed. When the pollsters try to determine a likely voter, it tends to be more in favor of the Republican. It tends to show more, more of a trend for the Republican. And when the late, some of these polls that do just registered voters are a survey of adults. It shows really good numbers. Like it's a bit, it's a bigger spread that it has been in the past. A much bigger spread. And I think I don't know this, but maybe these pollsters are trying to have a hard time defining what a likely voter is. Or maybe they don't want to find a likely voter. Or maybe they think it's that you leave it open because all these different ways you can vote. Now in some states, you can vote by mail or drop box or you can vote earlier absentee. It's a left hand their way. You would be able to vote on the Internet. Because they had such a hard time getting their voters to show up the polls. It's just, it's always been that way. Republicans are very, very reliable. Democrats tend not to be as reliable. And that's sort of like the rub there, because you know, Democrat policymakers are always trying to fight. To make the vote more of the easier to access, I should say. They're always trying to discover ways to, well, we could get more Democrat voters out if we expand the voting time. Now backfired in Florida for them because the Trump cycle of the 16 and I think even in 20 early voting Republicans seized upon it. But the strategy there is to expand it to a voting season. If you have a voting season, you have more ample opportunity to get your Democrat voters out. But anyway, the polls, even the polls that these left leading polls, when they pull likely voters, it's going in a Republican direction. Also, we need to talk about this. We'll come back to the state. The Haiti stuff is still a hot topic last night in Silicon. The state lawmakers, at least they had the right tone, but they're like, look, there's not much we can do. A subtle genetic governor last night, speaking to the point, clear Republican women. I mean, everybody, all these Republican politicians in Alabama seem to be saying the right thing about this, this Haitian resettlement. What are they doing? What can they do? The question I have is, well, maybe they can sue the federal government. Could they petition the federal government to ask the federal government to are only a few more resources? We need to refuse any additional benefits from the federal government to help with this resettlement problem, because if you do accept it, it will encourage more resettlement. And it creates a federal government dependency. And that's sort of the theory of a lot of this, like we're creating this federal government's dependency because they got to settle all these Haitian migrants before the January 20th inauguration date. And they're putting them in places where the counties are maybe financially struggling. I used Talladega County, for example, Silicon, not exactly the wealthiest county in the state. And they're going to read their leadership. They're going to reach out to Washington, D.C. Washington, D.C. And their congressmen say, okay, well, here's a check or here's whatever. And it's hard to roll that back. And it creates a federal dependency. We already know the game here. Get them settled and get them in a living situation. And then when January 21st comes and Trump tries to deport, demand due process and drag it out as much as you can on the way to the Supreme Court. And you take up three years of Trump's presidency where he's unable to deport. It's really a kind of a sinister thing to do it. They're abusing a process. And we all know I've even heard me talk about it. Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela. They, it's a parole program for asylum seekers from those four countries that are in chaos. They come here. They get to, you know, however they come here, they fly in. If they come by boat, if they come across the Mexico border, whatever it is, claim asylum. And what happens next is, okay, well, you're here. There's a process to be granted asylum status. But why you're here while we're adjudicating that process. Here's a work visa. Here's some EBT benefits and we will get with you. We will get wrote to find out if it's a third party NGO and settle you elsewhere. They'll find a, we'll find a home for you. And that's sort of the game they're playing right now. Two, five, one, three, four, three, zero, one, zero, six is the text line. Also, let me say this, this Birmingham situation. Obviously a tragedy on Saturday night. Really, sort of there's a gag problem in Birmingham. Well, one of the, I guess kind of interesting side stories here is one little event, a state lawmaker from Birmingham and the mayor of Birmingham are feuding right now. She's wanting, she's, she's, she's very underwhelmed by a very underwhelming performance that's the mayor talked about this in the last hour, a little bit, but she's very hesitant to, she was a little with Dale Jackson this morning right before I was on with him and when they were talking about deploying the National Guard to Birmingham, let me say this, there's, there is a precedent for that. This happened in the past, um, in 1955, Phoenix City, Governor Persons, sort of darning lame duck period, did just that after they, uh, assassinated the, what would be who it would have been the AG elect, Albert Patterson, the, you know, Phoenix City organized crime Dixie mafia, killed even that alleyway in Phoenix City. He ran, uh, he ran for AG, ran for the Democrat ticket back then Alabama was a one-party Democrat state and he ran and won the Democrat nomination and then was going to defeat the Republican if there was even a Republican on the ballot and was going to be the next Attorney General in Alabama, they got killed and that's when the, you know, people said that's enough, it's enough. Persons deployed the National Guard before Folsom became, was to be big Jim Folsom became governor and it was, I think there was, he was governor, Gordon Persons was legal for an excuse to do this because they knew a Folsom got in. Maybe nothing would have happened. So they deployed it as a guard, uh, closed all these like kind of casinos and, um, speak easy and whatever they are on the main drag in Phoenix City. So it's been done, it's been done in times of a chaos like this. Is this, does this rise to that level? Maybe not. But what else can the state do? I don't think this law that, uh, representative Agrove and Will Barfoot who will have on, um, on Friday, uh, that they want to have a, like an accountability act and take over failing struggling police departments is going to pass Alabama legislature and besides that will not be even considered until 2025. Could you put some state trippers in there? I mean the Jersey County Sheriff's Department's overwhelmed, but the National Guard option is, and this would be very drastic is at least being discussed right now. Let's get a break. Here we are, back this is the Jeff before showed up in talk one, oh, six, five, somebody take you. Living on the road, my friend was going to keep you free and clean. We'll go back to the jump port shoulder from talk one, oh, six, five nature. Stay with us on this Wednesday morning. Uh, big news guys, uh, this just, uh, I'll see you this on my Twitter timeline. Uh, Kamala Harris is going to do an interview on, uh, on MSNBC with Stephanie rule. Now, why is this interesting because Stephanie rule said there was no good reason for, uh, uh, vice president Harris to do an interview and now she is, uh, uh, uh, uh, now she is getting the exclusive on MSNBC. So you ought to be pretty, pretty excited about that. Two, five, one, three, four, three, zero, one, zero, six. I don't understand why she, uh, vice president Harris has so many allies in the media. So many fangirls of boys. Why, why, why not? Why, it's like earned media at this point for her and just, it doesn't, it doesn't really make sense to me because I, she's, uh, she's leaving so much on the table. I think it's like a thing with her. She just doesn't like it. She doesn't like doing interviews. She gets nervous or whatever it may be. She, uh, her interviews never really amount to, wow, that was a really good interview. It's always, why did she say this? So she's just not very good at it. But, uh, there you have it guys. Uh, looking forward to that. Uh, let's get to some text here. Zelensky and the Biden's have been in bed for years. They're all corrupt politicians. Well, well, I think it was the, the Biden and Ukrainian leaders have because, you know, Hunter Biden and Burisma goes back pre Zelensky. Yeah, you know, it's risky. Wouldn't he like a, he's like a reality TV guy. He went like really, uh, a part of the like political class. And now it's funny how that system is, and give is made him what he is today. Toothless bam, or Jack Smith redo, uh, is a lecture here for us also. Did you see the lawsuit in Ohio that Trump advanced should be arrested, including inciting fear and exaggeration, uh, exaggerating Haiti illegals? This should all backfire on these NGOs. Well, I'll tell you what, uh, maybe, maybe there is, uh, maybe there is a little bit to that that it is being politicized, but I don't think it rises to the level of incitement. People don't want Haitians and, and, you know, coming to their communities. But now I think Springfield, Ohio is, uh, where it went wrong. It was just too much for the system at once, uh, especially, you know, with the, the taxing, the roadways and the, the schools in the healthcare system. And, and we, I guess that we've seen these places where it's popped up all over the country of a resettlement, and we've seen it all over the state, as a matter of fact. What does it is, is all, are all these circumstances going to turn into a Springfield, Ohio? We don't know, but they all can't be Springfield, Ohio, can they? Any textures to send them to sanctuary cities to those sanctuary cities, I think are illegal in Alabama. Aren't they? Uh, yeah, I heard, I've heard all the news and I've been seeing this on Twitter where Pharaoh is going to get a thousand illegals of sheriff yesterday, did not only think about it. I wonder if you do anything. I, I think that's an exaggeration. I don't, I think it's a thousand refugees. I'll tell you the story, uh, spread out between mobile and Baldwin counties. So, so everywhere from, um, everywhere from citradale to the Florida Bama, I guess is a play, but not, it's not just Pharaoh. Could it be? Yeah, but probably not. I'll talk more about that on the other side. This is the Jeff Moore show, what I've been talking about, one, oh, six, five, it's good to see you. I must go. I know I'm a good friend. Anyway, my eyes are not a good friend. I'm a good friend. Jeff Moore, show it. If you talk about one, oh, six, five, thank you for staying with us on this Wednesday morning, two, five, one, three, four, three, zero, one, zero, six, if you were to be in touch with the program, that's the best way to do so. Still go on a program. Joey Clark at about an hour from now and then from Yellow Hammer News, I get Fred Grayson every, but joining us now on the line, uh, we always appreciative of his time. I talked to our audience down here on the coast, but Gary Palmer, a congressman for the sixth congressional district. Congressman, good morning, aren't you? I'm good. Appreciate you having me on, Jeff. Appreciate you coming on. I always appreciate your time. Well, let's kick it off here and, uh, you made a, I guess, a sort of, where are we on this CR? Why do you think it's going to happen and, uh, kind of walk the street because it sounds like, uh, I mean, we're really playing a little, a little close to the deadline here. Well, I think it's going to pass on suspension today. And what that means is, uh, some of my colleagues, uh, would not vote to allow the bill to come to the floor as a regular bill. So they're going to bring it to court under suspension, which means you got to get a higher number of votes per passage. Uh, but the Democrats are going to vote for it. I think a lot of them are putting pressure on their leadership to support it because they're, they're in really tough races with Republicans and they want to get home to campaign. Well, and I mean, I know you, you've been in Congress for a little while. I mean, like this close to an election, that seems, I don't know if it benefits one, one way or another. It seems like Congressman, all of these, all of these sort of sort of potential government shutdowns and head in the shutdowns that the blame somehow or another always falls on the Republican. That's because I think we're partly to blame because we don't go through the appropriations process like we should in the, and what the other problem is, is that the Democrats control the other chamber and your listeners need to know that there's 12 appropriations bills. We passed eight of them sent them to the Senate and Schumer didn't even look at them. Uh, there's a, what we call a top line number for total spending. Schumer, the Senate has never, uh, discussed that with us or agreed to any number. In addition of the 12 appropriations bills, the Senate, uh, was response, they're responsible for passing 12 themselves. They had 11 of them out of committee and ready to go to the floor back in July, and Schumer did not bring a single one of them to the floor and the 12th one was on Homeland Security and they held it back because of the assassination attempt on, on, uh, July 13th to try to determine if they needed to plus up the, the money for Homeland Security and, and of course that's where, uh, the Secret Services, they're part of Homeland Security. So we're in one of these situations where they have the White House and the Senate and, and they, they drag us to these fiscal cliffs, uh, so that we'll get a short-term, continued resolution to keep the government operating and this CR is going to end in December. I call it the Christmas clip and Schumer's thinking that that's where he's going to load this thing up with all kinds of new spending and, and we're determined to not let that happen. Well, what about, and this is, I guess, the, the, the gripe from a lot of our fellow Republicans, you need some kind of election integrity component to this CR, uh, this is your chance, um, even if you got that, I, I don't know how you went enacted and enforce it, but what do you, what do you think of that? Well, I thought it was important to put the say back in the bill and send it to the Senate because I think there's some Democrat senators over there who are in really tough elections that would have put a lot of pressure on Schumer to bring to the floor and I think Schumer might have done it knowing that Biden's going to veto the bill and there would never be a veto vote in the Senate because these senators would have had a chance to show their support for it. So it was gangmanship from the very beginning, uh, it would have been helpful on our side and we've already passed it out of the House, so we know, uh, we've got a record of the Democrats who voted against integrity in our elections that we have a handful of Republicans that it's their way or the highway and they vote against this stuff. They vote. They were going to vote against bringing the bill to the floor as a regular bill. So, um, it's, we're, we're, we're own worst enemy a lot of times Jeff in handling these things. Uh, this attorney resolution that we have now, uh, is something that the Democrats are going to vote for and it's only going to be three months. So we'll, we'll be back that Christmas clip situation again. Well, what's going to happen here? Uh, can, can, and then this is more long term and post election and everything. Do you foresee the, the, the Republican caucus? I mean, I, I, you know, sure you'll have the majority, but man, it just seems like there's always these controversies or feuds or whatever, bubbling up and I, you know, you never will get the kind of like lockstep that the Democrats have and somebody like a Nancy Pelosi or even hot keem Jeffries, but, but like do you see some of this sort of some of this drama settling down, uh, in the future? I think the only way it's going to settle down is if we get a bigger majority and I'm hoping that we will, but now I know this has shocked you and all your listeners, but there's some pretty big egos up here, uh, there are people up here who have a serious need to be noticed to be on TV, to be the people that the reporter just, uh, surround when they walk off the floor and that's always going to be a problem. Uh, so we've got to get a bigger majority so those people can't, can't walk everything and, uh, the reason the Democrats are six together is, is that tell people there's not a Democrat anymore. They're either socialist or Marxist. The new definition of a moderate Democrat is a socialist. So they're all coming, reading off the same sheet music where we're, the Republicans are much more diverse. We can't have a majority if we don't have Republicans from New York and California, but they couldn't get elected dogcatcher in Alabama. On the other hand, if I ran in their districts, I couldn't get elected. So we have a number of issues that, that we have to work through from the very beginning in order for us to, to move policies. I think though, we get a bigger majority when we write, we'll write the rules for the house. Each Congress writes its own rules and I'm going to push as hard as I can for some rule changes that will force us to pass all 12 of our appropriations bills by June 30th and if they're not passed, no other legislation can be considered on the floor. There's got to be consequences for not doing our job. And the law requires it. The 1974 bus control act requires that all of the appropriations bills be passed by June 30th and we don't do it. And so I'm going to, whatever it takes to get, make this happen, get this rule changed and put some enforcement measures in it so that we do our job. Joe Biden, Congress should Gary Palmer here on the program. Well, what is, what is the feeling of the house? Because you see how these professional prognosticators say, well, yeah, I mean, they'll even say, tell you that Trump can win the White House. The Senate, the map is just a Republican map, this cycle, but I don't know about the house. It could flip the Democrat. I mean, I don't think that's going to happen if Trump wins the presidency, but there's some people say that. What's the mood, how do you feel about overall Republican prospects for the House representatives? I actually think that we're in a position to pick up seats in the house. And Jeff, I don't pay any attention to these inside the Beltway, Washington consultants. I don't like them. They don't like me and I'm quite happy with that arrangement. I think they're rip off artists. You remember last election, they said it was a red wave when I was looking at other numbers that indicated to me that it was not a red wave? And I think that they're just trying to tell you whatever they can sell you. I'm looking at individual races and looking at the quality of the candidates we have. And I think we're going to be in better shape than these experts say on the Senate side. We're going to win West Virginia and God in Montana, she, he is really running well. I think he's going to win that seat and I think in Ohio, we've got a really good shot. And you can kind of tell how things are going about what the Democrats are doing. So I think we're in much better shape than people think. But it's an unbelievable amount of money that's being spent. And we're actually about to launch an investigation into this Democrat fundraising program called Act Blue. Because we believe there's some multi-millionaire, maybe billionaires that have been sending small dollar contributions through the names of people who don't even know that they're making a contribution to the Democrats. As a matter of fact, some of them might even be dead. There's a lot of things that we've got to work through to straighten this out to not only ensure election integrity, but ensure there's integrity in election funding. Yeah, this act blue stuff is, you know, and you see some states getting into game here, but talk about that. It's almost like the way sometimes we think that Democrats rig elections by registering and having dead people vote, but they're using what looks like a waste of funnel money to candidates through individual contributions because a lot of people realize this or not. There's a limit on what you could give directly to a candidate. Now, you know, PACS and all that or something separate, but they regulate this right. There's a bigger limit on the PACS. An individual can give $6,600, a couple can give $13,000, I think PACS are limited for $5,000. I mean, I like what an individual could give to a PACS. Oh, there's, yeah, there's no limit on what they give a PACS. Right. But the problem with that is, is the PACS is limited on what they can give candidates. So what they're, what I think they're doing is they're running money through act blue as though it was, or as though it's some, you know, lady out in the middle of Illinois who sent in $100 because it's not recordable. You, you have to report that the FEC contributions over $100. So they're sending all these $25, $50 contributions and Jeff, they've raised and spent $2.2 billion through act blue. Do you, do you think, I mean, do you feel the, a tangible impact? I mean, I know they're doing it. And I mean, they, they're, they're certainly, they're fundraising numbers are off the charts and they all, they always seem to like just blow Republicans out of the water in the fundraising category. I don't know, does it feel like it's moving the numbers to you much? No, we know going in that they're going to have more money than us because they're left wing agendas, they're religion and most of the people support us or people who are giving to a lot of other things, including their church, politics is, is the church for the left, left wing radicals and they'll, they'll, they'll outspend us two to one, but we can still win. They outspend us much more than that though, it becomes a real problem. But the thing you got to keep in mind is there's just so many ads you can run in the 24 hour period. And it just becomes background noise for, for people, they don't pay attention to them. That's true for the radio or television. I think the key for us is to have a really good ground game. We've got to knock on doors and meet people face to face and ask them for their vote. And I think that that's going to be the difference between this election and the last two elections is how much we've invested in, and just getting out and meeting people. Let me ask you this, and I think 22, you know, you mentioned that in every, all the pregnant ostricator say it was going to be a wave and it wasn't. How much of it was abortion and how much of it was kind of coming out of Dobbs and a very, very motivated left because of the Dobbs decision, giving money to like all of these like Planned Parenthoods, PAC and other, other like pro choicey kind of groups. But like, do you think that's going to come back around for this? Will that be one of the issues where we were sitting around on election day and the exit polls come out and they start talking about issues? Do you think we're going to see that pop up on the radar screen? It will some, in some places it's going to pop up, but the big issues and I keep trying to tell my guys this, the issues driving this election, the dynamics driving this election haven't changed. There are still families going out to buy their groceries and not buying things they used to buy because they can't afford them anymore. They're buying store brand products because they can't afford a name brand, they can't afford a box of cereal or you know, just basic things, the Democrats should try to use abortion because they want this to be about emotions not intellect, that when you look at the cost of living, you look at the crime that we have and the Democrats are responsible for a lot of that and that defund the police, we have, we'll probably have a third list police officers on the street now that we had before and then the open border and all that that entails, those dynamics are not going to change yet between now and November 5th and I just think that's what we've got to stay focused on, but in the last election, the thing that drove me crazy was our consultants were saying we don't want to talk about health care, you don't want to talk about abortion, well, how's that different from what the Democrats are doing, not letting Kamala talk about anything, I think we owe it to the American people, we owe it to the voters to tell people where we are and to talk about the solutions that we think will really be of benefit to them, how to deal with these things and that you got these inside the Beltway people up here, these consultants that tell us where you can't talk about that, well, that's below me, we need to get out and talk about it because people, the thing that people are desperate for, Jeff, is authentic leadership and when you come out and you stick your finger in the air and see which way the wind's blowing, that's not only not authentic leadership, it's not even courageous leadership, it's not even intelligent leadership. Last question that gets you out of here on this, Congressman, the shooting in Birmingham on Saturday night and sort of the state of affairs, public safety wise in Birmingham, I seem to keep an eye on it, I mean, you got parts of Birmingham in your district, what are you, what are you making that, what do you think ought to happen there? Well, it's not about guns, I mean the lift runs around, the Democrats run around, they want to make it about guns, I got an inventory, murder is already illegal, but they're still killing people, felons owning firearms is still, is already illegal, but they're still getting firearms and committing crimes, this idea that we're going to take kind of guns or all guns off the street, I mean, Kamala wants a mandatory registration and require that everyone to lock up their guns and their homes and even suggested at one point that don't be surprised to become a door and want to see where your guns are locked up, I mean, that doesn't change anything, these are the same people that attacked police officers and advocated for defunding the police, Kamala was out talking about social intervention like a sociologist could solve all of her crime problems, I think the way you solve this is you go after these gangs, you go after these people who are trafficking drugs and involved in sex trafficking and you can lock them up and throw the freaking key away, that's how you get guns off the street, you get people who are committing violent crimes with guns off the streets and you'll take those guns off the street, hey Congressman, we're short on time here, I got to cut you off, but thanks for making time for us, thanks for having me on Jeff, I got a little passion therapist, appreciate that too, understand Gary Palmer leads the gentleman, we'll be right back, this is FITAC 10065. We all pick the cotton but we never got rich, Daddy was a veteran, a Southern Democrat, they ought to get a rich mandible like that singing, song, song of the South, sweep the data fine, I should find my mouth gone, don't really win, ain't nobody looking back. Welcome back to the Jeffforce show, it's FITAC 10065, they just stick it around on this Wednesday morning, 2513430106, keep the text coming, let us know what is on your mind, one text to get to here, this will be quick, Mr. Plot writes, the better keep an eye on that airfield in South Baldwin County, like last time we went through this, I don't know that'll be option this time anymore, to relocate Haitian immigrants on these airfields, abandoned airfields, abandoned airstrips in Baldwin County, but I don't think they want to do it that way, Mr. Plot, I think they want to bring you them into the communities and have them like in your neighborhood or at least nearby, maybe it's a trailer park or apartment complex or something like that, because that's what you're seeing in some of these other places. Now, there's a weird, there's these weird stories out there about some of these city officials who have rental property, and I think Athens, and there's a city councilman who is renting out his rental properties to, or at least he got these rental properties to migrants. Anyway, we can talk more about that and some other things, once you get a look at this, you can see it. It's a beautiful place to go. It's a beautiful place. It's a beautiful place to go in and out. I think it's a beautiful place to go in and out. It's a beautiful place to go in. It's a beautiful place to go in. It's a beautiful place to go in. It's a beautiful place to go in. It's a beautiful place to go in. And there's what you got to do is text me and let me know what's on your mind. A little bit of breaking news here. Sadie Stimson, if I'm getting this right, I'm not going to seek re-election as mayor. This somebody, a trip at Erica Thomas, we'll get more details on that in just a moment if I'm reading this right. That on the radar, obviously you heard from Gary Palmer there. And the congressional stuff is fascinating because of the dynamics or what they are. Zeliski, the United States, yesterday, guys, he's here for the U.S. General Assembly, but he did something sort of like a campaign appearance for the Harris campaign. What do you think about that? For that to be a little bit of a head scratcher there. I guess the question is that they, if they flew him around in a government aircraft, then there's a potential problem there. Marty, I'm a city employee. Well, okay. Elaborate that on the text line. Yeah, I try to get some news for you here about what's going on in Mobile. Anyway, we got that on the radar. Also, coming up on the program real quick, Joey Clark in about a half hour and a grace and Everett of y'all hammer news. We'll talk speculate on the on the 2026. Just give me 30 24. But the 2026 statewide elections. I didn't you know, like and I was telling these guys a moment ago or earlier in the early on the station on mobile mornings, you're starting to hear the buzz. And I know it's like we're really, really, really, really concerned about the presidential election, but sort of the process that we're watching now for 26. You don't formally declare there's a qualifying time and there's a lot of things you've got to do before you could actually start campaigning for one of these. But the deal there is you start asking your donors what they think. If this looks like an office I can win, would you write me a check and you hear, Hey, you know, who called me last night. Senator XYZ of you know, where and he's he's thinking about a run for this office and the buzz kind of starts to generate consultants are out there all over the state. This is their meal ticket. They're part of this, like sort of gossip rumor mill. And we'll talk to grace and Everett real hammer news here shortly. Yes. So Erica Thomas says that Sandy Stepson won't be running for reelection as mayor. Number one, if not Sandy, then who mayor Stepson, I, that's a this is a bit of a bombshell. And then like is it was it the prime stuff? I mean, was that the straw that broke the Campbell's back? What do you think triggered this? And I'm sure we'll hear from him soon about this. But assuming our reporting is accurate and I haven't seen this anywhere up here is a land Yap now also reporting at Mayor Sandy says it will not be seeking reelection in 2025. If not Mayor Stepson, then who guys? And I don't know the answer to that question. I mean, look, I guess we could look at shoes on the city council. We'll see. But this is starting to kind of show up in places with Sandy steps and not going to seek reelection as mayor mobile. Hit me up on that 2513430106 always fun to take a side journey down the road of mobile municipal politics. And the term and discuss something that I have a very, very, very little knowledge of. What else do we have here? I talked about this a lot earlier. We'll talk about this with Congress for Palmer and it's not a control situation in Birmingham. But it's also I mean, there's other places in this state and it's not just Birmingham or Montgomery. We gave it to Richard Selma Bessemer. And these are places where it's just no. The police president is stretched presence is stretched so thin. The public safety is not where not to be. It's it's it's problematic. So what's the solution? You can't call the National Guard and have the National Guard be your police protection. I think it's just this in some places, it's just a lack of resources. They can't pay as much. I get that. But in in like Alabama's biggest city where we're all of the big mules have their their their their offices and in the capital where you have state government functioning. You can't ensure the public safety there. The city's unable to for whatever reason. Something's got to be done. You know that we need to move to capital to Prattville. We need to move the the the the big businesses in Birmingham need to move to Hoover and then maybe we'll be okay and just let them wither on the vine. But that seems to be a lot of discussion like what can we you know, what are you going to do to get this crime under control? Meanwhile, you're going to be going under going a new mayoral administration here. I guess here. So with Mayor Stimson run for something else. And writes James Barber will run for mayor. Also wonder if any is something else is about to come out about the Sandy Stimson administration. I don't know. I mean, I think if you're grading the entire portfolio, the entire package of mayor Stimson, you got to give him pretty high marks, certainly superior to Sam Jones. A mayor down you, you know, there was there was good. There was bad. If I my gripe about Stimson was I felt like he was always trying too hard to read the room. You can't please everybody. And he was always trying to figure that out at the charm offensive on everybody. If you're charming everybody all the time and you're not really charming anybody. But then when you did when the charm offensive wore out, it was time to go to war. The battles he picked were always a head scratcher. Captain Doug new mayoral candidate will be Jim Barber. They have been setting that up for the past two administrations. Uh, I had this text steps in accomplishments, uh, significantly approving the C's financial strength, resulting in credit rating increases, adding thousands of new residents through annexation, increasing pay for police, fired city employees, job creation and downtown development, as well as unprecedented improvements to cities, infrastructures and parks. Fair enough. But just I had like, drop it within the ranks of the, I mean, this this last thing with the police chief. Yeah, like a weird kind of like impasse with the city council over a spokesman or who was paying for wide and a lawsuit you had. Well, you had the obviously, uh, you had the like LGBTQ liaisons and how that kind of showed up and it did opportune time and an opportune moment when the city was trying to annex and they didn't get everything they wanted in their annexation vote. Your friendly neighborhood baker, I'll bet top dollar, Batista's who they're looking to replace him with. Really. Tommy. So get us a debt over the hit civic center, then haul ass. Oh, uh, Marty, I didn't get your initial text about the, uh, I just got, I'm a city employee. Two, five, what three, four, three, zero, one, zero, six, but mayor steps are not going to seek reelection. I think he would have probably have wanted to cost him a little bit more this time. But that's kind of a bombshell news. Uh, let's see what else we got here. Good morning, Jeff. Can you please explain to me why mayor Stimson wants to spend our tax dollars on building workforce housing? What is workforce he's talking about? Couldn't it be illegal? So I know I, I think there is a, it's probably not the job of the government, but it's something there's, there is, there are people who are petitioning for it. Um, the, if you are taking one of these jobs, there's a, there's a workforce deficiency Leo and, uh, labor participation rates like in the, the mid fifties, which is way too low. It may even be lower mobile county. I don't know. But the workforce participation rate is, is really, really, really struggling. And people won't take these jobs because you can't afford to, to take the job and either lose their subsidized housing or move to mobile near their job because the housing is too much. So you had this disconnect, right? You have all these jobs, but nowhere for the people to live. Do, do what does the city do? Like, or what does any government, uh, city, county, uh, state, federal, they hear from their constituents and this is like the, the, the rich, too damn high or whatever. And, uh, they seek ways to, to, to, to remediate that. And I, you know, like I said, is it really the responsibility of the government to do this? Well, not the government and who. And there's a disconnect here. The, uh, supply and demand versus like the ability to afford it under this, these demand constraints. Jeff, who was your guest on a nine 39 time for rain today? Where he was, you should have him more on this. Congress would Gary Palmer from, um, the, the Birmingham area Hoover to be exact. He's, uh, he, I would say, besides Barry Moore, probably one of the more conservative members of the Alabama federal delegation. Obviously Tommy Tuberville, Barry Moore, Palmer, Palmer's almost there. And they text your time, collected for mayor. And then Paul asks, who will run? Well, that's one I'm asking you, Paul. Once you get two, five, one, three, four, three, zero, one, zero, six, uh, kind of the breaking news. Mayor Stimson will not run again for mayor next year. We'll be right back. This is the Jeff or show. What if I'm talking 106. Great train leaving town, not knowing where I'm bound. And no one can change my mind, but mama tried. Have a real over morning. Up from San Tom. Everything that I got is just what I've got on. Look at my Jeff for show. And if I talk with those six, five, they just stick it around on this, on this, uh, Wednesday morning, two, five, one, three, four, three, zero, one, zero, six. If you want to be a touch at the program, all you got to do is text me. Joining me now on the line, Joey Clark from news talk 93 one. And, uh, in my memory, Joey, good morning. How are you doing? Great. This morning. How you doing? Well, do well. Thanks for making time for us. We always appreciate it. Well, let's kick it off here. I don't know, Joey. The presidential election seems like, but we were just dealing with it as things come along. But, uh, how are you feeling about, uh, how are you feeling about the? I guess all these other things that are kind of bubbling up. Like I think this Haitian stuff, especially here in Alabama is like really playing a big role. Uh, I think the Haitian thing, I mean, it surprises me to see the Alabama, but it doesn't surprise me at the same time given what this administration and Biden areas have done over the last few years. And it's just more. Oh, here's the actual fruit of the rotten tree right here in front of us. And you know, you never think it's going to be right in your own backyard. But, uh, there is, uh, I'm generally worried. I've been saying for months now, no matter who wins in November, I think we're facing a rising storm, uh, that's where the big structural issues are not being addressed. And I don't even folks who want to, I don't know if there's the political will in Washington. And I'm thinking of things like the national debt. I'm looking at say military readiness and our kind of the signals are sending over in the world. Uh, I'm looking at how that affects everyday Americans and then like culturally, spiritually, this is harder. It's a little more ineffable or to put my finger on it. It does seem like, you know, there's a lot of entertainment. There's a lot of good food, a lot of laughter and comedy and, you know, great and football season back. But there's something going on in between the lines that, uh, it just seems ominous. And maybe that's just me projecting something direct. No, I think you're right. It's like this, this dark cloud or something that's really, really difficult to like put your, your finger on, right? And, and it does feel it because used to like, I approach these elections like a little optimistically, well, you know, it'll make people really kind of think about what they're voting on and kind of assess their situations. And you're right. There's like a, an undertone right now that it's, you know, there's something ominous brewing and it's not like a necessarily like, Hey, it's morning in America. Right. Right. Because I have a sense that Trump wins. I think you're going to see more protests that probably turn violent in streets and big cities. I don't think you're going to see folks that go, Okay, he won there. It's, I think the war still continues. And I just worry that it's going to continue to be, you know, people taking shots at Trump is one of the worst case scenarios. He's assassinated. But you know, you just look at how the blob, so to speak, that Harris wants to be the new face of the, the entrenched bureaucracy, it does not want to give up willingly. So I don't think we're out of the woods at all. But even if Trump wins, I mean, it'd be a good night. But that'll be about it. We'll see what happens in the weeks following. Yeah, because do we think, Okay, Trump wins and they'll be maybe like a weak honeymoon or so, but then it's going to go like they're, you know, they're going to go hard, hard, hard against this president again. And I mean, maybe this time, Joey, if he does win, he's a little smarter about how he handles that. He doesn't, you know, throw in the towel on some of these phony baloney investigations. They're trying to launch. But I mean, they're not, there's going to be no sort of like, let's come together moment and unify the country. They're going to refuse, absolutely refuse that. Yeah. And I think it's frustrating. And they, I talked, I think you talked in this morning, I talked to Congressman Gary Palmry yesterday. And you know, when he talks to somebody like Gary, he's, he's very policy oriented. And if the Republicans can take the majority in the House and Senate, I think it's a big if. And when the presidency, there are people like Congress and former that are ready to go with all sorts of, I think, sound, very sound policy changes and larger strategies for the US. But it just seems like the, you're not going to get that opportunity, that big if, just always a little bit out of reach, which is a shame, because I think there are honest people up there who see the problems, want to make the changes. And again, it goes back to the rock. And I think the media is the corporate press, as I call it, is, is the head of the snake. It really is, you know, maybe behind the scenes, the intelligence community or different corporate interests. But there's just something, well, as the line does, something rotten in the state of Denmark. Well, I think the corporate pressure, your, your spot on there. But I, I mean, I don't think that they are, I think they're just pawns in this. I, I think there are darker forces that control the corporate press. And I don't understand like what makes a person want to work for one of these big outlets and just be a shill for whatever it is. I know these people. I mean, I've worked with these people. I've, I've drank with these people. I know them. And then like a few years in that town, Joey, they're going to be soulless like climbers. And they just want to be like the more they get of this, like dopamine hit from being accepted by the cool kids in those circles in DC and New York City, the, the more needy they become. And, and, and you see how the weird behavior, you see this Olivia Nuzzi story, right? And like all of this, I mean, that's the kind of behavior that you see on a regular basis up there. Yeah. And then I think it's now they've created, maybe we've all created it, having more ideological partisan media, but you've created an audience that does not want to hear anything that is outside of what the tribe has approved. I'm thinking of, I just watched the interview last night, Bill Riley sat down with Patrick, but David on, that David's podcast and O'Reilly said he's seen that change happen, you know, in a decade, what he was fired from Fox about a decade ago. And now, like, even if say CBS or ABC wanted to do something that was more even handed, say if they wanted to fact check Paris at the same time that the fact check Trump had to debate, you would have people go apoplectic, that they even showed any even handedness. Matt Walsh, somebody in the Washington Post finally reviewed his documentary. And that person being ripped the shreds by Washington Post readers were even going to see it, which I just, I don't see as much of that on the right. I'll get a little push back here. There are some days, but it's almost like even if you like humanize a right-wing person, there are certain crowds. It's not just the elite. It's now a big crowd and audience that has nothing to do with you and will rip you to shreds. They'll rip you to shreds, but I don't think they're as big in numbers and it's hard. I mean, like when they come at you in mass, it's hard to tune that out. I mean, it really, really is. But you're right. There's like a, if you legitimize their point of view, you're part of the problem, even if you give it the time of day, and that's, that sort of mentality is, is right is what's like contributing to this like toxic situation we have. But I take like, there's, there's something else driving that. I mean, that mentality is a sort of like program into a lot of these people, and they go along with it. I guess it makes them feel part of the crowd or something. And like I said, it's a small group of people, but they're very, very, very emotionally invested in it and it has an impact. But I don't, I think they are kind of just sheep in some ways kind of following like a, I don't know who the man behind the curtain is. I, you know, it could be some of these corporate interests, you know, that they're really just looking for ways to better their shareholders bottom line or whatever. But it's, it's, it's not, there's no critical analysis here that where it needs to be. Yeah, no, and maybe it is the NPC meme or the blue-built meme that like, you know, everybody in the matrix could turn an agent Smith. I think there's some of that going on, but that's not just a bustling thing. That's just a people thing in my humble opinion. The biggest part, I think, is a shame when it bleeds into local politics. So like, as I was watching, you know, the fallout from mass shooting or in Birmingham, to see Mayor Woodfin and a few other opinion writers uses an opportunity to conventional Trump and Alabama Republicans to seem like the complete wrong approach. It's like, why doesn't you get out of the way? Let Phillip Enzler talk to say something like a bit Will Barfoot behind the scenes. Maybe they can work something out, but if you come out of the gate going, you trumpers, you look the second amendment, this is your fault. I find it completely absurd and dad to the absurdity, the voice of reason here is the Birmingham situation with Woodfin seems to be wanting to look at that. So it's, it's a mess. And you would think locally, we could solve a problem like, you know, massive crime in our big cities. No, I, I agree with that. I think the Woodfin stuff is just lazy blame a shit thing. They got a gang problem in Birmingham. And the gang problem is because they can't, they are like 400 officers short in the Birmingham Police Department. And it's just mayor and he, he won't own it. I mean, this is what they do. It's politicians 101. So what I don't know what the answer is. A lot of talk about the National Guard being deployed there. I mean, I don't think we're that far away from that. I really don't. I don't think they have control of that city. And look, like the two big cities and then this is going to upset some people on mobile, but like the two prominent cities never wanted to seat a power in Montgomery. If you can't state government can't function, then you got problems. And then number two, Birmingham, that's where all the big mules, Alabama power, Regent's bank, you know, protective et cetera, that really were truly the state has ran. If that falls and you can't keep people safe there, then you, you got problems in this state statewide. Well, and you know, we just dealt with this in Montgomery, and I have to give credit for it too. I believe in my own talking of people buying the scenes, this Montgomery area crime suppression unit was really how tailor it ideas idea. He got all the partners involved, including Sheriff Cunningham, kind of brought the AGN and also got the new chief or acting chief of Montgomery. She gray boys in and it's been, I think, very successful. I've noticed the change. You don't, I mean, they're still shootings are still crime, but not like there was or the first quarter of this year. So if you could replicate the max and make it, you know, the backs, the Birmingham area crime suppression unit, I think you could have some pretty swift success for Fermi and bigger. You might need more manpower. The logistics of it might be a little different, but you don't need to wait for the legislature. You don't need to blame Donald Trump. You don't need to continue to point fingers. Just get it done. And it is reminding me exactly what happened to Montgomery in the first quarter. There's a lot of political posturing and finally somebody has the own names. So you know what? We're just going to get this done. And it seems to be working actually for the, at least there's a short term solution. Join by Joey Clark from Duce Talk 93 1 M Montgomery Haitian migrants, Joey, um, seem to be these, these circumstances seem to be sprouting up all over the state. I know that it's, uh, you know, this is going to be a Trump state no matter what. Um, but this, I, I go to these political events and this might be the most animated I've seen, especially Republican circles people a long time. And maybe it gets back to this whole like kind of dark undertone, but you have these migrants from other countries just kind of coming to people's cities and they're all down about that. You have the crime wave in the major cities and they just have this, this election that is, uh, doesn't seem, it's, it's all negativity, negativity, but the, the Haitian situation, what are you, any like, any, you get any like feedback from your listeners or is there any buzz about that in your circles? I don't think we have a huge influx of Montgomery that I know I haven't heard about it in like very local terms. I've heard plenty of people reacting, especially the reporting over during their 18, 19 news. And I almost feel like the takeaway is not so much fear loathing about the migrants themselves. Uh, though you do worry when you bring that amount of people in, what's the effect going to be in general? It is more the ceiling of our local leaders or either selling it out or their impotent, in fact, was to solve the problem. And they can't really do anything about this federal government. So I think it's, it's people feeling like they're left in the dark, like their leaders, even when they speak to them, don't have the power to change anything. And that leaves you in just an awful taste in your mouth. Uh, that's the biggest takeaway I've, I've seen this scene from this. And especially the pretzel twisting of the, feel like the silicone mayor, not the single amount too much, you know, twisting himself with words, let's call it ties about how much the senator's office is new, how much the governor's office is new. I think the blame lies at the Biden Harris administration. And sadly, like somebody issues, the federal government reigns supreme these days. And, uh, I mean, what are you going to do about it? If you're a local mayor, if these big companies team up and bring in 2000 people that work some, you know, factory job, but I don't know what you do about at the end of the day. Well, and here's the thing about that, though, I, you see, it's like a hurry up thing to settle as many of these Haitian migrants as they can. And the disconnect here between the city governments in their reaction to it versus kind of what you see from state officials, a much different 180 degrees different, but it's true down here in Fair Hope. It was true in silicaga. I think it's true in Athens. Albertville in Marshall County, so beaten down with immigration. I don't think there are people upset about it, but I'm not sure that it really hit like it in these other places. Enterprise, um, where the local city officials are like trying to like downplay it or they're trying to say, hey, nothing to see here. So just, just just go back to your little facie book page or whatever. And then on the other side of it, like, like I said, you have state and federal officials who are up in arms about it. And it's a weird dynamic. Yeah. And then anybody tries to come in to offer help. Sometimes you don't, you don't see the reciprocity you might expect. I know I'm shifting here from Alabama to Ohio and Springfield, but that town hall that they promised for me did there was, I think, one of the best examples of somebody actually acting like a leader and communicating with locals. But one of the, my biggest takeaways is, you know, he's a rich guy. He tried to give a hundred thousand dollars, just help sure up some of the, the processing and just give some relief in terms of resources, the nonprofits locally turned it down that were, you know, doing these things and are now, I think that Haitian migrant groups are looking to sue Trump and Vance right now. So it's, again, it's a political fight. And it's, I think it goes back to this rising darkness. This is weird cloud hanging or what it's had. No matter the issue, it doesn't seem like people are actually talking to one another. And the powers that they are just going to do what they're going to do. And I guess we'll see how it works. Joey, thanks for making time for us. I always appreciate it. We'll do this again soon. We're gonna folks find you online. At the Joey Clark on twitter X or at Joey Clark Live on YouTube. Joey, thanks again. Thank you. All right, guys, we'll be right back. This is Fib Talk, 106.5. Breaking news, the sour from townhole.com on John Scott.

We're not talking about the large illegal Latinos in our particular tolerance to the legal acre baby matter. I feel like we've been hitting on that. And this is like to say it like this. A lot of people feel like that that fight's been lost. That they lost that fight. It's not. It's it's it's the the the Haitian thing is new. At least with the I guess people have come to sort of accept this. I don't know. But I think the Haiti problem or issue or whatever you want to call it is more than just there's a different sort of culture and there's a bigger language barrier. I named text to the resettlement of Haitians as they play from the Obama playbook. Look what he did after he did in Minnesota. What they're already the Somalis in Minnesota long before Obama. I'm not sure when that happened, but that's it. Well, think about where you see a again elected official where it used to be something more mainstream American. And now like Keith Ellison, when he got elected to that congressional seat that Iliad Omar's in now. She did to leave all these squad members. And I mean, they are being elected by that, you know, that ethnicity because the communities have changed demographically. In a significant way, but there's 45 congressional seats. Would we ever have our first like or will we have a Haitian American member of Congress? What did you what do you know about the portable bill? Striking Monday. Thanks, Robert. I've been hearing these rumors about a strike at the port for like a while now. I've been hearing that for a while. I don't, I mean, I don't know if they're going to do it or not. But we do this has been being talked about. I don't know anything more than you would a name texture or Robert. I mean, a name texture. How sad is it that illegal aliens feel a power to sue a candidate for president of the United States? Well, there's some lawyer that put them up to this. dirt digger Kamala is Kamala, a sister anchor, baby mother is from India and father from Jamaica just wondering. I don't know. It's a father was a professor, right? So that we make exceptions for certain. Are we don't? I mean, I will say exceptions, but our immigration system is such that certified people that we need get moved to the front of the line. I don't know that to be the case that Kamala Harris is an anchor baby. I think, uh, I think her father, we know about her father. I don't know about her mother. I don't know. I don't know much about Kamala Harris at all, actually. I honestly, I remember when she ran for Senate the first time. And I think Trump was on to something here that there was like an India, Indian heritage thing that was played up about her candidacy. But like the Moore's time went on. It became less about her Indian heritage and her African and more about her African American heritage. Uh, you know, making that what you will. But that that was part of the vibe part of the discussion. I named texture comes in with the strike into Port Source Tuesday, the first day you're demanding an 87% pay increase and more. So that's probably, uh, that that's probably going to be a strike. Yeah, uh, 87% pay increase. We're going to see this a lot. And maybe this is, this is a bigger problem for whoever's going to be president. But he divided administration's been kind of holding it off as long as they can. But organized labor is going to demand a pay increase because of the inflation that, uh, the Biden administration to saddle the country with and they want to cost the living increase that that is becoming more difficult to, you know, live. And I think you see these outrageous demands from these labor unions, but that's what it is. This is a, these strikes, you see, I think Southwest, uh, the demanding a pay increase. I think a lot of these unionized employees demanding pay increases. It is a product of that. Uh, the, the, the inflation and, uh, their pay is, are not, you're not being able to, the value of the dollar is not going as far as it used to. And it's having a ripple effect throughout the labor market. I mean, it's not only making the cost of goods and, you know, go up the cost of services because people at the, in our consumer economy have to be able to afford the goods and the services they perform to be able to get the paycheck to buy those goods isn't buying as much as you used to, you're going to get, you're going to get these situations. Jim, how did Corey Martin get elected to the city council? He needs to be voted out for signing in this letter. Actually, um, Saul councilman Martin yesterday downtown. I, here's one. Here's what I think happened. He wanted to do some virtue signaling, but virtue signaling in this circumstance come back to haunt him. He may have very well signed that letter at 2023. I don't know if he did or not. He claims as such, but the letter was sent out September 12th, 2024 to the Biden administration with his name on it. So that's number one. He's his name is on it. Was he, um, was he against refugee resettlement before he was for it? Are you know, it's like one of these John Kerry flip flop situations? Did he like think, Hey, this is like a thing. I'm really for and, you know, but I think his where what bothers me with him is saying, well, I was really signing that letter because it had to deal with Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees. Who's not for those? So you're saying that Ukrainian refugees are, are, are more, um, they have more merit in your eyes, more value in your eyes than Haitian refugees. Oh, we, uh, we'll take the Ukrainian refugees, but not some dirty old Haitians. I mean, is that what you're saying? Like, all you got to do is answer some questions here. No, I don't know, Tim, well, how he got, I mean, Ali got elected or why or I'm going to say this though. Dear Fair Hope City Council, slow your role. You made, you act like you're a bigger deal than you are. I like city government. I mean, you're kind of a part time sort of, but you just scouted the, the, the, the, the other one showed up at your meeting to voice their concerns about these crazy social media rumors. They like, like put these rumors to rest. Yes, fine, but like don't attack people. You're attacking them for like believing what they read online. Most people have a filter and know what's nonsense and what's authentic. The problem here is guys, you see this happening in cities around the state. Why not Fair Hope? I went on my Fair Hope rent yesterday, but the thing about Fair Hope, if you had to live in Alabama, Fair Hope is just as good as anywhere. I would say if I had to pick between Fair Hope and Silicon, I'm going to probably pick Fair Hope. Why wouldn't you settle refugees here? That's where if I was a refugee, I'd want to be. I wouldn't want to be an Albert mill. Um, but I just, this like, there's, there's a little bit of an arrogance there that was really off putting and I, you could just see the facial expressions and the eye rolls and all of that. I was watching it online, but I, I, I taught the people last night at an event that endpoint clears, who were in the room and they got that same vibe. This is polite. If you do have to reset a large population of immigrants, how about you do it in a way that encourages a simulation? It seems that any attempt to do that is fought tooth and nail by left wing media folks. It's as if they want to encourage the balkatization of small neighborhoods. Um, I'll say this and there are people who are smarter than I am about this, Mr. Plot, um, that they say if you could get like, if you get through the very initial stages of like resettlement for Haitians, they tend to assimilate much better than a lot of other the immigrants coming to the United States. They tend to, they tend to do, they become less of a problem, less of a burden, but that first year too is very, very difficult. Sam, good morning, Jeff. Trump is missing out on a good thing. If he needs to get votes or quite a few people out there that let you abuse their, their children before you would be able to eat their dog. Okay, I got to address this. Put this into Google, Haitian translator jobs, Alabama. Let me, let me, let me stop you there. Um, what, what you're seeing there, there are these, all these jobs, when you do do that, they pop up and they show up as FBI jobs. These aren't, this is a a, a name texture. This is a job that is, um, this Haitian translator and there's also a bunch of other linguist jobs, but if you go to the actual FBI site that these links that you sent me, take you to, it's through a third party website called ad Zuna. And what they do is they take a job posting, which is a legit job posting on the FBI website, but it's been there since 2018. And it's opened nationally. So you would tell a commute, you can live anywhere in the country and take this job. And what this website does, it's, you see it, it says via ad Zuna, it assigns a location. So it takes a job that's open to anybody in the country and it creates a posting that assigns a location. So for example, if you're like a translator and you live in, um, grand bay and you look for translator jobs in grand bay and you Google that the keyword search is triggered. And this ad Zuna site puts you in touch with the FBI for a job that's open to anybody anywhere. And if you go, so, so this whole story about the FBI looking for these translators and all these places in Alabama is not really what it appears to be. Um, we can get to that other side of gang questions. This is the Jeff Moore show. What I've been talking about. Good morning. I'm Shmani Baker for WK RG News five, a former Mobile County sheriff's deputy charged with rape and sodomy pleaded guilty to lesser charges.

Thank you for being with us on this Wednesday morning programming note. Coming up tomorrow on the Jet Force Show, we'll have a State Senator Lance Bell making his debut on this program. Be very proactive in the Haitian resettlement discussion. We'll talk to him. Also, April Burifogel, one of our regulars on Thursday, and then former State Senator Dick Brubaker making his bi-weekly rotation here. So make sure you tune in for that. Grace and Everett gonna join us here in just a few minutes, so also stick around for that. Mike writes, I've heard people, federal people say I won't live in a common city. What the heck is that? I don't know what that means, either. Josh never heard it or saw any of the 200,000 Ukrainian refugees buying one city was bringing it over, but I hear a lot of Haitian refugees are moving in. A lot of B.S. is going on here, and whoever's responsible is going to get away with it. But it's the system we have. You have 200,000 Ukrainian refugees, and you have these NGOs that are resettling them, and then I guess they are putting them in places, but they're resettling the Haitians in rural areas. Not really in urban areas. And it sees poultry processing plants. I don't know. I had a texture. 10 years ago, I had a lot of work in Fair Up until the children took over the properties that went blue. And then what dare? Let's see. Before the Sullivan administration, I mean, Karen Wilson, are you talking about like government work? Are you talking about other work there? Unnamed texture. Anyway, two, five, one, three, four, three, zero, one, zero, six. The big news if you're just tuning in right now is Mobile Mayor Sandy Stimson will not seek another term. He is calling it quits will not run for reelection next year. I'm sure people's phones already ringing out the hook. Who's going to run? Who's going to run for that seat? Let's go to happen between now and then. And overall, steps will have a good legacy in Mobile. It just that bumpy patch did this last year or so. But the, the Paul Prine drama saga, whatever you want to call it. I mean, from an outsider looking in and you're watching this and you're like is, and I always thought this like, I feel like the public's kind of he's lost his base of support. He's lost a lot of the public. Like he was the guy. I was living in DC, but I remember he was the guy that was going to rescue us from the, the, the Sam Jones era. You know that Sam Jones is in the Alabama Legislature. Now I always forget that. He was the guy that was going to like really turn things around and he did. And he, and he probably accomplished a lot of what he set out to do. I guess the civic center thing will be like his last hurrah. That's, that's a problem that has like plagued the city for decades. There's something cursed about that current situation. I don't know what it is. But like Mobile is a big enough city that it should have like a real entertainment venue and draw big acts on a regular basis. It shouldn't just be Orange Beach. It shouldn't have to go to Pensacola or Biloxie or even New Orleans. It is a big enough city. There's enough people here. Uh, Tim's just saying he's probably trying to keep from getting prosecuted. I don't know that. Can we start a petition to keep Sam Jones off the ballot? I think he's good where he is. He's happy where he is. Squirrel, the city council is a big part of the problem. There's always been this tension between the council and the mayor. Sometimes it's more evident. Sometimes it's kind of underlying. I don't know. I think maybe that's part of the problem too. We'll be right back. This is F.B. Talk when I was six-five. ♪♪ Or I may simply be a single drop of rain ♪♪ ♪♪ What I will rain ♪♪ ♪♪ Once was a thought inside my head ♪♪ ♪♪ Or I'd reach 30, I'd beat this ♪♪ Welcome back to the Jup4 show. If I'm talking 106-5, thanks for sticking around on this Wednesday morning. You still text in 2513430106. We'll try to get those in before the conclusion of today's program. Joining us now on the line from Yellowhammer News has to put up with Dale Jackson. And I know how tough that is. Grayson Everett. Grayson, how are you? You're good. You're morning, Jeff. Thanks for having me. Hey, thanks for making time for us. Well, before we get into it, it's been a while since I had you on. It was always like the next session looming. But I thought this one was, and I've sat through a lot of these. This one was a little, at least from covering it from a news perspective. This one was a little bumpier. Yeah, it was definitely busy. I mean, looking at even right now, it's all the issues that are getting talked about on the state and federal level. I mean, I think at some point, we really have to admit there is no off season, probably. But yeah, last session was definitely interesting. And there's a huge election coming up in 41 days, and that still doesn't stop folks from talking about who's going to jump in in 26, because that's going to be a very, very exciting cycle as well. Yeah, I agree with that. Here's why this is important. Well, I think maybe you're hearing the same things I am, but people are starting to make those phone calls, asking their big donors, like, hey, I'm thinking about running for XYZ office. And everybody's waiting to see what's going to happen in this election in November, particularly if Trump wins, would he pull people who are in office here away? And I guess the one we talk about most, we're talking about governor, but that seems to be like, Ainsworth's been running for that for 10 years, it seems like. I don't know, Lieutenant Governor's wide open. You know the names as well as I do, but the one I, we haven't discussed a lot. And it's what is, it's the second most powerful office in the state, probably as Attorney General. You had a piece of yellow hammer, and I encourage everybody to go check it out, y'all hammer news.com. But you got at least a few names here, right? Yeah, I think you're right on the money there about the lieutenant governor's race being wide open. For example, there's some calculus that's going to go into, you know, how the governor's field shakes out based on, you know, the presidential election, does Senator Tuberville go to the cabinet? Does that create a vacancy that governor IV appoints? Then does that person keep running? And, you know, one of those people could certainly be our current attorney general, whose term limited in his role, Steve Marshall, who's done a tremendous job and would probably keep doing the job if he wasn't term limited. But, you know, the attorney general field is probably one that's a little bit more consolidated here and a little bit more clear. And we walked through some of those folks, including Justice Jay Mitchell and several others that they kind of jump out. The Jay Mitchell thing is interesting. I mean, leaving a seat on the Supreme Court to be attorney general. And he's, he's your typical and federal society Republican, right? But that's, that's an interesting one. Right. And you're absolutely right. He would have to step down from the bench in order to do this, which, you know, that's, you know, is probably going into his personal decision right now with it. But, you know, he's, you know, he's probably in front of the field for maybe that reason, but also, you know, in-state fundraising. And he's really plugged up to folks who would like to see him in that role. You know, we mentioned Arthur War, for example, his campaign war chest is just immense. And really anything other than, you know, say attorney general or Congress or U.S. Senate would kind of be a lateral move for a war. I also mentioned Jaytown. You know, if you're in politics in North Alabama, you know, and recognize Jaytown is a very sharp legal mind and out there quite a bit. And several, yeah, a couple others. The Katherine Roberts, people don't know her real well, but I know she used to be a Dalb, have a policy institute. I mean, she's been in these circles for a while. This is kind of fascinating how she goes from that role is like, you know, more of a think tank person. And now Chief of Staff for the Attorney General, she also is kind of an interesting candidate. And I don't know. I don't know what to make of that, but I think she would be formidable. Yeah. I think that, you know, I mentioned that the Newsweek op-ed that she wrote with the Louisiana Attorney General, Merle, they have a very close relationship personally. And her boss, Steve Marshall, definitely had the close relationship personally and professionally in what they do and how they coordinate legal efforts and briefs. And that, you know, is her kind of probably debuting herself more, you know, in a political sense. But also, a lot of people were very excited to see her at the Business Council of Alabama, Government Affairs Conference here recently. I think that got a lot of people talking about what she's looking at. I mean, I think she's not a bad pick. If you're, you know, if this were like a gambling situation. And like, my understanding is, I mean, she makes the trains run on time in that office. General Marshall sort of policy oriented and does a lot of the, the public face of the office. But like, you get down inside the inner working to that office, like she's the, she's in charge. Yeah, for sure. And that, that becomes kind of contingent on who all jumps in. Is she going to be able to activate an in-state donor network? She'll probably have a lot of success nationwide because of, because of those connections with Attorney General's all across the nation and just being known for her work, which is, yeah, exactly what you just said. So it'll probably, it'll probably be a lot of jockeying early on to see who kind of merges to the top of the field. Well, tell you what, it's interesting you say that because that's, that's one of the like things that stands out the Marshall legacy. He was able to really fundraise nationally. He was out front of a lot of national issues. I mean, there he is in New York City, standing next to Donald Trump during his trial. And I got to think like that team that Marshall has probably had a lot to do with that. Yeah, certainly. And she'll be able to talk about a lot of that for sure if she jumps in. And that campaign, I'm really interested to see what that campaign would look like early on because it really is just an endless supply of those things and tough fights that are not limited to Alabama that are really, really going to be interesting to voters if she makes that case if she jumps in. Yeah, because if we're in a situation, Grayson, where like, let's say Kamal Harris is president, I mean, it's going to be, it's going to be a different set of policy objectives for, I think, for the AG's office because it's sort of like what they're facing now as someone on defense to keep the federal government from overreaching, but also when the legislature passes something and you'll have a DOJ that's very, very hostile to whatever it may be potentially and you need somebody who can counter that. Yeah, certainly. And especially with immigration kind of emerging as a perennial issue, now it's going to be huge in the 25 session. And, you know, as that field starts talking about itself and of AG candidates and just messaging, you know, whether or not, you know, it's Kamal Harris Trump immigration is going to stick. I think there's a huge appetite to do something on the state level. So, you know, it's likely that these candidates are going to be able to stick out by talking really clearly about what they want to do and what they can do on the state level about immigration. Joined by Grayson Everett from Yellow Hammer News here on the program. Grayson, we mentioned Jaytown. I think that there's a politician among these these prospective candidates. He's the guy, like he's on Dale's show, like every week, his Birmingham and Huntsville shows. He's been on down here a few times. He has sort of become branded as this guy, a former US attorney, but goes on National TV Newsmax and Fox News and weighs in on these constitutional issues. This is like he's really built like a brand for himself. Definitely. I mean, Mr. Town is very sharp. I'm from North Alabama. I've always seen and heard a lot of them. And that's another campaign that I'd be really interested to see what that looks like and kind of his message and how he sharpens that into a statewide pitch. I think it's pretty clear he wants to jump into something. You know, he would definitely, I wouldn't go as far as a politician, but you know, he definitely has a future in service to state or federal government for sure. So, I'm interested to see what that first campaign would look like. And I don't know. You look, is there anybody else out there that has come up on your radar since you publish this piece? You wonder because because a lot of times, Grayson, as you will know, I mean, you'll have like a Huntsville candidate. Let's go back to the last time we had a competitive AG's race at Alice Martin from North Alabama. Steve Marshall, who was kind of I guess the Birmingham candidate, even though Gunners was kind of more into Huntsville market, and a chess pencil down here. You look at those three and they kind of had the state split up. I don't get a geographic sort of sense from this field at all. And I wonder like, who would be like a South Alabama? I mean, has any thought been given to that? Right. And I think that, you know, pieces like those who's running are going to continually be kind of updated. I mean, people have definitely emailed and texted floating different names. But the geography of this, I get what you're saying. You know, I mentioned specifically in there, you know, Justice Mitchell is in central Alabama. He's got, he's got a lot of, he's got a lot of leeway with how he gets around the state. I think that there could be a state lawmaker that runs for a sitting state lawmaker who runs through this office as well. So, there's always going to be wild cards. Like we said, the lieutenant governor's race is wide open, like you said. So, I think we're just going to keep keeping a check on it. Well, I think the lieutenant governor's thing. I mean, the names you hear there kind of twinkle, Kavanaugh is one that comes up. There may be a, you'll have a lease one or two from the legislature. Let's talk about that. Running is a statewide candidate from a legislative seat. Now, Will Ainsworth pulled it off. But it's not been something we've seen a lot of in the last 10 years, you know, that you kind of hit your ceiling running. I guess what's Alan as secretary of state, Andrew Sorrell, a state auditor. But certainly from the state Senate, you don't ever see anybody. I think the last person to win a statewide office from there was like Steve Windham or something. But you know, that that has to be part of the discussion, I would think. Yeah, I agree completely. I think what a lot of that is going to come down to the piece of state lawmakers running in 26 at any level is really going to be not setting too much urgency or expectations with it. But you know, a lot of that is going to come down to the 25 legislative session. So for all the 24 session was and kind of working out the Kings and the lawmakers really settling in in the second year of the quadrony and the 25 is going to be very loaded to that extent. Because I think you're going to see a lot of, a lot of these folks really making a big push to be able to put their name on stuff that they run for in 26. Let it just struggle for a state senator Arthur Orr, who I am the coach of the mention there. But you know, he's sitting on the big porch just. But man, I've heard his name in the rumor mill for a lot of different things. I mean, obviously, when Mo Brooks decided to run for Senate that time, there was some discussion there, but he wasn't sure where the lines were going to be drawn. What are you running a stater hole or, you know, that I don't think he was wanting that at all. The or the or thing is interesting because he's not just a state state senator, right? He is did the chairman of the biggest budget in the state Senate. There's a lot of power there. There's a lot of prestige there. And he just he runs unopposed or with with minimal opposition every cycle. So he's accumulating this massive or chest. He's an interesting one to watch. And I can't, I don't get a good read on him where he wants to go next. Yeah, definitely. And I don't think he necessarily floats himself or some of these seats, but he doesn't mind that, you know, his name is thrown around. But I think, you know, I signed off with his prospects of AG with you just really never know because, you know, state Supreme Court, even, you know, some of the higher state-like constitutional offices really in terms of what he handles and what he does from his role in the Senate is a lateral move. Attorney General is interesting, but yeah, he just has so much power in the Senate that it's tough to see that he would he would want to really change things up. Well, he's an interesting guy in the Senate, too. Like he's very, very protective of that education budget. Even when they come for tax breaks and you want to cut sales tax somewhere or whatever. And like he's he's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, you realize what this will have a ripple effect on down the line here when you just start handing out these freebies. I, I'm just, this is me talking, Grayson. But I think sometimes we see his name floated out there because there's some people in that town in that state house that would like to have somebody a little more free willing at the ETF position. So they they float his name for all these offices because you're right. His name has been floated for Congress. It's been floated for AG and it's also been floated for the Alabama Supreme Court when he doesn't really want to be a judge, though. Right. Right. No, that's really right. He's he's an institution. I like that he's an institution, but he's he's a guy that is he just kind of smirks at it, right? Like he's got a good poker face, but he you look at his is they go back to like two years ago, when they tried that tourism, you were there with the tourism incentives and he was like the loan no vote of all the and it was because the incentive came out of the ETF and he felt like the process had been kind of circumvented. Right. And I think maybe as a personality trait, a lot of what it comes down to is an obsession to the details and really, I mean, he does seem very interested in, you know, in getting it right in his own mind. And I think that it's definitely an extraordinary quality that he has to really ask tremendous, very specific questions and kind of have everybody talk about it and move the ball forward. So definitely bank on him. The legislature next session, regardless of what he wants to do. Grayson, folks will define you online and we'll check out yellow hammer news. Tell me how to do so. Yeah, yellow hammer news.com on Twitter at y h n and I'm on Twitter x at Grayson 270. I can say thanks for having me Jeff. Yeah, I'll give him a fall Grayson Everett. Ladies and gentlemen, we'll be right back. This is effib talk with those six five. He said something just flitter and chat. I said, I lost the one thing, but he couldn't bet that he never was. Don't you see I'm a dinosaur. I should have died out a long time before. Happy to die. Looking back to the jet four showed up a talk with a six five. Thank you for staying with us. So let's look to this Wednesday morning. Come up on tomorrow's program. See Senator Lance Bell from Pell City. We'll talk Haitians. Very, I've been making the rounds around the state a very compelling discussion. And he's been having what's supposed there. April Marie Fogle as we do every Thursday. And then our good buddy, former state senator, Dick Brubaker, and I will take 15 minutes to solve all the world's problems. Real quick, I think thunder through these here, Jerry, 18, 19 to do a store on how many politicians went down over the years due to corruption around the big round building and a texture. Hey, Jeff, you know anything about this and sends me a picture of a four cell sign somewhere. I don't know where that might be. Josh, you notice? I've noticed a candle. Council tension with the mayor for the entire run. Even when Councilman, woman came and went, the tension stayed. Mayor Stipton did a better job than any mayor in my adult life. Now for the next mayor, I like the idea of mayor pride. And then finally, Tim, Jeff, James Barber and all his cronies better start looking for a hole. They are done. I keep hearing James Barber as a potential mayoral candidate, but guys keep this in mind. It would be a pay cut for him to be mayor. Anyway, enough of that coming up here shortly. Midday mobiles. Sean, what you got? I don't know. I may just spend the next couple hours wondering who might be the next mayor of Mobile with I'm right there with you. I don't know. I really don't know where it's going to come. I mean, I've got ideas, but I mean, just because I think they may be potentially the person that doesn't mean they do. So yeah, I mean, we could we can play this game because I think you'll see like a William Carroll run. I think you'll see some others run, but I don't know that these are these names. Paul Pride. I don't know. Those guys can win. Depends on how many people, you know, how many people get in too, because we talk about this in national politics. There are these lanes, right? Whatever the lane is. And there can only be so many people that get the votes out of that given lane. If you pack that lane, then they don't have enough amongst them to beat somebody who's unopposed in another lane. And I know it's not mayoral elections are not by party, but there's lanes in them for sure. But Sean and you, I talked about this even that cycle before Mayor Stimson ran the first time against Sam Jones, we talked about him as a potential candidate. And he just was always like the time. Was it right then? Like we, but we saw the lane opening up for Mayor Stimson, right? I don't know. There's not a name like that out there right now. No, not that I know. And I mean, you got to look back and and and see, you know, what he did to get elected, right? Both. Yeah, different elections and how the demographics of the city had changed, but he still was successful. So I think there's a lot of interest in who that next mayor may be. Are they are they fixing to announce here in the next couple weeks? It's a lot to it, man. I'm interested. Yeah, if you run for mayor in this town, you're running like a year out, right? Yeah, I would guess so. Yeah. Mobile's a big, big city guys. Anyway, that's it for me. I will try to do better tomorrow. Sorry, Phyllis. Once again, I forgot to say goodbye. This has been the Jeff for show. What I've been talking about. Six, five. [Music]
