U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville - Jeff Poor Show - Friday 10-04-24
I go down to the honky-tonk, I go down to the honky-tonk, I go down to the honky-tonk, I go down to the honky-tonk, I go down to the honky-tonk, I go down to the honky-tonk, I go down to the honky-tonk, I go down to the honky-tonk, I go down to the honky-tonk, I go down to the honky-tonk, I go down to the honky-tonk, I go down to the honky-tonk I go down to the honky-tonk, I go down to the honky-tonk, I go down to the honky-tonk, I go down to the honky-tonk, I go down to the honky-tonk, I go down to the honky-tonk, this Friday, Friday morning, 2-5-1-3-4-3-0-1-0-6, you want to be in touch with the program, all you have to do is hit me up on that text line, joining us now on the line, he's our senior United States senator, always a pleasure to bring on my friend, talk to the honky-tonk, coach, good morning, how are you? Good morning, that is a feeding song that you have with going down to the honky-tonk, I've never seen so many bad things going on in our country, and that's what I'd like to do sometimes, but we just gotta keep fighting. Well, that is true, and man, it's really ramping up right now. Before we get into that dilemma, let's talk about, well, one dilemma, two programs that are going in the opposite direction, which is probably the story of my life, the exception of you and Pat Dye when y'all were coaches, but Auburn and Alabama football kind of disappointing the defeat on Saturday for Auburn and a big win on Saturday for Alabama. Yeah, I went to part of both of them, and I didn't see the ending other than on TV of Auburn, and they just can't find a way to win, and you gotta learn how to win, and anything that you do, you gotta learn how to finish something off, and for some reason, fourth quarters have not been very good for Auburn this year, they just can't find any consistency, and as you said, they're looking down the losing season if they don't turn this thing around, but it's not just one or two, everybody wants to blame a quarter back, and I understand 14 or what 15 turnovers is, it's hard to overcome, but still, sooner or later, your defense has gotta stand up, you gotta tackle better, you know, a lot of things can happen, but there's been so many much disruptions in the last 10 years in the front office and all over Auburn, they gotta get their stuff together, because it's more than just a coach, or coaches, or players, it's the all-around program, and you flip that to Alabama, which I was there with President Trump, I mean, everything goes, it's going in their direction, they've got players, they've got a new coach that's got them inspired, they've got things that are building, their front office has been stable, they've been on the same page, it's like any business, I mean, you've gotta all be all in, and their fans, I tell you what, it was a great atmosphere over there for them, so I tell you to win like they won, you know, get behind after being hit by 25 points and then get behind and come back and win, my God, that shows you you can finish a game off. Let me ask you something, because this has been my complaint, most of my adult life, about Auburn and Alabama, and you look across the state, I'm an Auburn alum, and you see, like, they go after the big coach, I mean, they go after Nick Saban, they go after the Boyer from Washington, they do what I think they gotta do to have a successful program, they just find a way, and I don't, Auburn doesn't, I mean, God bless Hugh Freeze, or Gene Chiswick, or even Gus Mao's on to some degree, going after the mid-major, up-and-comer, it just seems like there's a different level of expectations at the two schools to me, just kind of watching, and maybe that's the little brother mentality in me or whatever, but why do you think of that? Well, the whole thing about hiring people, especially in sports, is by looking behind the scenes, it's about looking at the people that they surround themselves with in terms of who's going to help them win games. And I think there's a times Hugh's had good coaches, and I don't know a lot about this staff, I know a few of them on the staff, but, you know, his first year, you know, he lost three or four or five coaches, so there's been no stability just in the short period of time now. I think Hugh is a good football coach, I think he's going to turn it around, but, you know, patience out there, money involved, players now, if you don't win games now, the problem real quick, is those players can say, listen, I'm going somewhere where I feel like we're going to win next year, where I can win the field or whatever, and I always put even more pressure on coaches having success, so, yeah, it's tough, and you're right about Alabama, you know, they've missed the ball guy, again, I don't know, I've never been around him, but I just watch the players, they respond to him, and again, they've got more players at Alabama, let's get this on the table real quick, they have, it's not that they're covered here, Auburn's got a lot of building to do, but again, when you get to that point, like DeBore walked in, and he hadn't let it back up at all, he just kept it going, and he's building on that. Oh, and one more gripe, and then we'll move on, but like, Alabama is a dream job, what does it take to get Auburn to where it is, at least, I mean, I don't think it's a bad job, but it's, you know, got a big fan base, and they fill that stadium every Saturday for home games, but what does it take to get Auburn, it feels like it's kind of a mid-tier team right now in the SEC, and the elites are, "Bama, Georgia," and so on. Yeah, well, you've got to hit the right person, okay, you've got to hit that button now, it's totally different than what I came in, because I could build a program when I came in, and I took two stars, three stars, we were very hard on them, we practiced hard, you know, we built our football teams, now you've got a basketball team, and so it's totally different, but if you go back, I remember now, I went through five Bama coaches in my 10 years at Auburn, I mean, they couldn't find the right fit, they were stumbling and stumbling around, it's all about, you know, the front office, all getting together and all getting on the same page, Auburn's got to do that, Alabama did it, Malmore did a great job of, you know, not giving up on Nick, because, you know, they tried to hire two or three more people that I don't know whether they've been successful, and then when they finally got Nick to say, "Yes, you know, they took off," so it's as much about the front office, the people that run the show other than the coaching coach staff, then you've got to get around them and help build it. Coach, let's move on, the one of the most disappointing things I think I've ever seen in government is that the Department of Homeland Security FEMA and hearing that FEMA's out of money, meanwhile you know that DHS has played a role in this, this Haitian, the CHNV program, the resettlement, and they are using a lot of resources there, but they're not using them for this hurricane, Helene relief. In Western North Carolina, in particular, where I was born, and you see these photos, and I got to say, like I said, this is one of the most disappointing things, how does this happen? Well, we're in a tough situation, and we've been lied to, we've been scammed, the American people have been scammed, you know, I'm a Republican, but first of all, I'm an American that believes in Christian values and believe in our country, believe in the people that built this country, and I want to believe this country to our kids and grandkids. So that being said, we've been scammed, you know, you've got two people running now for office that were not elected through the process, they were selected, and one point, it didn't happen. I know people when Joe Biden got out, friends of mine on the Democratic side in the Senate, they were never going to run for the nomination in the, when they had their convention, and they were immediately called until you will not run. We have selected this person to run, pretty much threatened them, and so they didn't run, and so they said, hey, you know, I'm not, I'm not getting involved in something, it could be a huge threat to me and my family. So what has happened is, Mayorkas and this whole group have lied to the American people for three and a half, one on four years. You get, say, in our borders closed and this and that, and now, you know, we all been looking for where are they getting this money from to take care of these people, other than the fact we knew they're using the care of money, COVID money, inflation reduction act money. Now we know that the group that has been confiscated by this regime, other than the DOJ, the FBI, the CIA, everybody involved now FEMA, they've been taking money from FEMA and paying these illegal immigrants and taking care of them, and it's all coming out in the light, and people now looking, well, wait a minute, this is for a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster like the border, but they're corrupt. Every day, something comes up now that they've been exposed, that they've been doing, they shouldn't be doing it. And people should be going to jail, this is treason, and not taking care of these people up and down the East Coast because this, we need to do a supplemental, we don't have the money, we're printing $80,000 a second right now, just keep our country going. They have absolutely just, for understanding the ditch, we're going to have so hard at the time, the American people are getting out of this mess they've got us in, and they're pushing the narrative of electing these two people that, you know, Trump and JD Vence are so much more qualified than these two clowns running, but these two clowns aren't going to be running a show, it's going to be the deep state behind the scenes and folks. I know if you're out there a Democrat, you've always voted Democrat, that's the way it goes. This is not Democrat versus Republican, this is America versus deep state socialism, and it's coming to an end here in about 30 days, and my God, if Trump doesn't win, I don't know what we're going to do, I really don't. You know, maybe it's this, do you worry about this, when you do go after a supplemental, I think the time will come, Congress will have to do something here, but they're not going to let a crisis go to waste, and you're going to be voting on things totally unrelated. To the storm relief, to, and they're going to use it as a, I mean, this is what they always do, right? They're going to use it as leverage. Oh, they, they never, they never leave anything, any stone unturned, if they're, if the Republicans are for something, they're going to pile on and spend money out of the places we don't need to. It's like, you know, I've been bringing up a situation, we have to help our farmers. You know, if they're trying to run our farmers in the bankruptcy where they can just close them all down, bill gates and all these socialist by their land, and get all of our food from overstays from China and Brazil, that's our plan, our farmers, we've lost 150,000 farms in the last three years, we're going to lose probably another 150,000 this year, the crops are good, but the prices are rock bottom, they can't make it, and we've lose our food in this country, and we have to depend on other countries, it's just like the drug problem that we had China makes all of our drugs during COVID, but like you said, that they never, they never let a, a good thing be undone by not getting their hand in their, in the cookie jar to steal money, to fraud money, it's an absolute scam that the American people are going through right now, and we got to get them out. We don't have much longer if this group gets elected this time, I don't know whether we can ever win another election because they'll leave the borders open, and you think we don't have any money right now, my gosh, it is going to be a sad tale for the American people ever get anything from Social Security, from Medicare, from anything that's going to cost that's going to go through the taxpayers, back to the taxpayers. We're joined by United States Senator Tommy Tumbler for just a few more minutes here, approach election wise, I mean, I, if you look at the battleground states and the margins and compare them to past margins, you got to feel pretty good about where Republicans are at, but I mean, where do you think it is, is it enough to, to not allow for any kind of a, should they get against a steal or anything, like how do you feel about today as we headed to November 5th of month out? Well in 2020, there's, we find it more and more about, about what happened. There's no doubt that they, that there were several states that are absolutely stolen. We've all known that, but if you say anything like that, they'll call you a crook. And that's what crooks always do, they always point the finger at you, but they, they sold the election from President Trump, Joe Biden wasn't a duly elected president, of course he can't spell "cat" and they knew that they just going to put him in, he was selected, he was not elected. And so, everywhere I go, Jeff, all of the country, I've been campaigning for President Trump and for other senators, you know what most people ask, you say, coach, is my vote don't count, they don't ask you about the recession that we're in, or the oil prices or the climate or, or border, which they're very concerned about, they're worried about their vote count. And I'm telling you, you know, if it looks anything like, anything that happened last time, I'm afraid what's going to happen in this country. And I don't, but I really don't think that the Democrats care. I don't think that they care what happens, you know, January 6th, 6th, that was, that was my first day on the Senate board. Now we found out that it was mostly instigated by CIA and FBI, Nancy Pelosi, President Trump won a national guard there, they turned it down. It was all a setup. And so, I'm just, I just hate to see what's happening to our country and to the American people. But I think the American people are resilient. And I just hope to God that, that these people will say, well, I've always voted Democrat. Folks, it's not your party that's at stake, it's your country that's at stake. And we have to go out and we have to elect people that are going to stand up for our country and not for other things like socialism, communism, world wars. I mean, we're in, we're in dire straits right now and hope that God did next 30 days. More and more people come to their senses like helping the people in North Carolina. What's going on up there? There's going to be 5, 6, 700 people that's going to be found dead in this situation, not 200. And I hope people open their eyes, what a, what a complete catastrophe has been for the FEMA and the federal government, not lifting one finger to help those people. Coach, one more thing, we'll get you out of here, the vice presidential debate, your colleague JD Vance in the Senate, I feel pretty good about that and you know, Trump will be around forever. Maybe he's the guy that they passed a baton to or whatever, but just based on that performance. What did you make of it on Tuesday night? I thought it was awesome. I knew it was coming, I've become very good friends with JD. I've learned a lot from here, the guy's what 39, 40 years old, but he is great on his feet. He knows the King's language, he can communicate, he didn't get, he didn't get flustered even though there was a 301 like it wasn't ever debate against the Republican. And he just showed the difference between Tim Walsh, who's an absolute joke of being and having an opportunity to be vice president, I think if you get it 30 more minutes, that JD Vance would have convinced him to vote for him, but JD is a future of this country in terms of politics, you know, you have other people like Mike Lee and Ted Cruz. We have a deep bench, we have people that can actually talk, they're smart, they've done things the right way, and if you look at the bench on the other side, the Democrats, I mean, I don't know where they're gonna go, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Horn, I mean they don't have those young people coming up that's gonna actually lead our country into another century. So yeah, I don't JD did right again, his stock went way up, hopefully people saw that because can you imagine, you know, these two getting elected and something would happen to Kamala Harris, which would be a disaster anyway for her being in Tim Walsh. I mean, I mean, the guy can't tell the truth, but it was great for our country, not for the Republican Party to see JD and how close and personal and people, I think a lot of people were impressed, but you know, his common sense attitude towards American and American people. Coach, we always appreciate your time, let's talk again soon. All right, yeah, thank you. All right, that was U.S. Senator Tommy Fuberville there. We gotta get a break in here. We'll be right back.
