Jeff Poor Show - Tuesday 10-08-24
. 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 pore show. I don't think he ain't done it this way. Good morning. Welcome to the Jeff pore show. If you talk 10065. I am back. Did you miss me? Probably not. Two five one three four three zero one zero six. You want to be a touch with the show. You utilize the text line and we'll make do the best that we can with that. Whatever you want to offer. Coming up on the program today, Judy Barlow. We're going to join us here at the Fair Hope Bureau here in about a half hour from the Easter Shore Republican women. They got a meeting coming up. We'll talk about that. Her election outlook and I suspect we'll hit on. If you want to be involved or more involved in the cycle ways to do so, even though we are approaching that November 5th. Day. Congressman Gary Palmer going to make a stop on the program here in. About an hour and a half. I was going to talk to him. So he's on the house oversight committee. When I booked this last week, I mean, I was still kind of in all of the botched handling of hurricane health. And at least the allegation of it. And, you know, I was like, well, somebody who should know as well as anybody would be this man. Congressman Palmer. And as always, on Tuesday's John Wall, I'll be a Republican party chairman. Will be with us. So be sure that you stay tuned for that. Like I said, two five one three four three zero one zero six. Thanks to April, Marie Fogle, the spider technical difficulties sitting in for me on Monday. We'll try to get those worked out if she sits in for me once again in the future, but always appreciative of her. Time on this program. Well, the news, nothing on the news right now is going to do much right now. It's sort of, it sort of centers on all hurricane Milton. And I'm not the guy to talk about the science of hurricanes. I mean, I know enough about them because I've lived through a bunch. This is probably everybody this audience has, but you see what's going on in a category five. But it looks like a smaller storm and it's tracking to the east toward Tampa, Florida. So Florida Peninsula trying to evacuate. And I guess the biggest political storyline is this sort of inevitable spat that we see between. The Santas and Kamala Harris. And how and then just the it is weird, right? Like the Santas, the governor of Florida was on TV last night with Sean Hannity and was asked to react to this. Harris out of the tarmac claiming the Santas wouldn't take her phone calls. And any sort of kind of put her in a place I thought, I mean, you know, do you really need a call from the vice president if you're dealing with the president? Is the vice presidential? I mean, and I would say, well, maybe because who's running the country right now? You know, it just reminds me of a little bit was Barack Obama and the financial collapse in 2008. And although Obama's this junior US senator, and although you had Nancy Pelosi and you had at the time, Harry Reid, I guess, and a bunch of other Democrats, they sort of seeded the floor. To Obama. And you know, is that what they're trying to do here with Harris? We don't really know what Biden's up to. Who knows if he's even, you know, coherent. So essentially the Santas said, look, I'm not dealing with her. She's not a part of this. She's the vice president. I'm talking to the president. And since he would have taken her phone call, but she's, uh, sounds like her feelings are heard or something that she's not getting into respect. She desires. And that's sort of the, the silly prevailing little political story coming out of this hurricane news. So making that what you will also let's go through some. Oh, okay. So yesterday or Sunday. I got to talk about this. At Auburn University, the main gate there when you're you're a tumors corner, you know, when they roll the trees. They have been rolling the trees a whole lot lately, but when they do beat Cupcake University and they go roll to Harris quarter. Well, for some reason, it'll Sunday. And some went with the media and the media are just you cannot hate the media enough in this state on this story. Uh, a couple of very enterprising, uh, young act, little wing activists went and took chalk to the main gate and wrote from the river to the sea. And a bunch of other pro Hamas anti Israel slogan. It slogans on the brickwork there at the main gate at Auburn University. And no one really did anything with it immediately. And it wasn't until as it probably would have been expected. There was a little bit of a there was a fight. That's what I think. I mean, it wasn't like, anyway, more of that. So see, I'm on this, like, from the rear to the sea is an anti Semitic trope. Okay. And that just means the annihilation of Israel. They know what it means. No one's moving the goalpost here. And we just like the way it was covered by ale.com by the campus newspaper, which is just a left wing playground. And WSA Montgomery, like, oh, it was just, it was just these, these harmless innocent protesters calling for a ceasefire in the Hamas Israel conflict. If they had put something about Ukraine, or Vladimir Putin is a great Russian leader are 80. I mean, I'm not saying they need it, you know, gone as far as like some real Rachel says, but they put something like that to media would have been all over it. If they had put Trump 2024 on the main gate at Auburn University, what do you think ale.com would be doing today? There would be like five JD Crow cartoons. And Kyle Whitmire and John Archibald be fighting in the girls bathroom over who was going to write it first. Anyway, so this is done and then what ensued during all of this. And none of these, there was a fight across the street at Auburn. So if you're familiar with Auburn at all, the main drags or college and Magnolia, that is tubers quarter. On one side is tubers quarter when they roll the trees or where Harvey up like likes to poison trees and then the candy quarter to that is tubers drugs. And I guess one of these pro hombos guys who apparently isn't even a student at Auburn mixed it up with a student there. We don't really know if he's a student or not either. And they had a little fight and the way the media portrayed this. Now there's video, there's photos. But the way the media had portrayed it was a such that there was just these guys and they were going to look and beat up some some pro Palestine protesters. But it looks like there's a video, like I said there's a video in Twitter.com/jf_polar, one of my latest tweets. It looks like, I mean, neither one of these guys are gonna win Boy Scout of the Year. No merit badges to be passed around. It looks like two dudes just fighting. Like we never had two dudes just fighting in the history of this country, but whatever. But the way it was portrayed in the media was this this lovable cuddly, pro Palestine piece loving hippie got beat up by some Auburn frat boy redneck or something. And I'm pretty sure that's not what happened. You can watch it make the judgment for yourself, but you can't hate the media enough in this state for the way they handle that. It's absolutely just a joke. And it's sort of a, anyway, the campus on October 7th of all days, the Auburn University, the station campus cops out there in front of the gate and they were going to let it happen again. I don't know if they still are there or not. But it ought to be. It felt like they wanted to just blame whoever the right of center belligerent was in this. So make of that what you will, but we saw that and I am very, like said, a little disappointed in my alma mater, the way they. I mean, I guess they downplayed it the way they could and expect them to come out swinging. Probably called Bruce Pearl told him to pump the brakes on anything about it. And it's not that like, you know, I know a lot of you are very skeptical of the Israeli position and how they have are conducting this war. And that's not really the most important thing here. But if this had been, like I said, a right of center, some kind of right wing thing that had got it chalked up and it was just chalk. No big deal. They washed it off. Had gotten chalked up on that gate entrance on the brickwork there. It would have been a national news story. Even if they put Trump 2024 up there, what do you, how do you think the people in this, the media in this state would have reacted. How do you think that would have gone. And this is your, what are your flat to flagship universities here. Well, these people continue to be awful. All right. Well, we can talk more about that throughout the program. If you so desire this IBS Supreme Court ruling not a surprise. I kind of have been watching this, this Center for Reproductive Medicine here in Mobile. Wanting to kind of overturn the ruling, the earlier ruling from the Alabama Supreme Court. Saying that the wrongful death of a minor act a law passed in 1872 applies to onboard. Children which would include embryos. And they appealed that to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court declined to hear that. I mean, there's a lot of, there's a lot of confusion about that and what that case means, especially much some of our lawmakers are policymakers. And I don't know if this is intentional or if it's just maybe it's an intellectual laziness or whatever from some lawmakers. I mean, just the lack of curiosity. Don't really want to be involved in this issue, whatever it is, but there's just a number one, just a total lack of understanding about what IVF is. And number two, what, what, why is this? Why did the Supreme Court rule the way they did? It went like the Supreme Court was looking around for a headline that you don't want to be a great headline for us to make us rule on this case like this. No, they were confronted with the question. Are frozen embryos property? Or is this a human life? And how do you assess the value of these embryos did in a claim against a lawsuit against a clinic or the, and I think the real bad actor here is the mobile infirmary. But essentially it's that, but it will proceed. Now, this Supreme Court ruling in Alabama was just a ruling on a pending lawsuit, still yet to come. Let's get a break in here. We'll be right back. This is the Jeff Porte Show at FIM Talk 1065. [MUSIC] Welcome back to the Jeff Porte Show at FIM Talk 1065-251-3430-106. If you want to weigh in on anything we are talking about, all you got to do is hit me up on the text line. Let's see here, Terry writes this from the reference to the season, just anti-Semitism. It's a call for true genocide. I mean, I've heard that. But there's a willingness or unwillingness, I mean, from the institutional wealth left to even acknowledge that, oh, it's just chalk, oh, it'll wash away. It's no big deal. Like I said, if they had put Trump 2024, the main gate at Auburn University, what do you think? How do you think WSA eyeball news or Montgomery would have reacted to that? Not the way they did yesterday. AL.com would have sent like five reporters down there. It would be the JD Crow. After he's done, huffing glue that morning, it would be his cartoon for the day. But anyway, get it on the text line if you so desire, 2513430106, Judy Barlow, coming up here. She's warming up in the bullpen as we speak. For me, it's a short Republican women's club in just a few minutes. You want to make sure you stay tuned for that. I want you to this evacuation underway in Florida, a lot of bumper to bumper traffic. You think about this in Alabama is something's merrily toward the Gulf Coast. I know a bunch of you made that track from Mobile North on 65 to Montgomery. And they've had that counterflow for 20 something years and I want used it maybe one time. Are we are we ready for that? Florida does this drill a lot in 2017. They evacuated the whole state of Florida and we were living from everything from about Appalachia Cola to the east and getting back to Tallahassee. I can't imagine if you try to get back to like Miami or Orlando or somewhere like that further down to Peninsula. But it was even bumper to bumper traffic going across the Florida peninsula. If any of you are familiar with say, if you're driving to like from Fort Walton Beach to Tallahassee, you wouldn't drive up to ITAD to cut across. There's a state highway 20 there. Highway 98 was bumper to bumper like the entire state of Florida to just overwhelm the I-10. Well, what if that happened to now? What would that look like? Would we be prepared for that? Not that it's not something to think about, but I do. I don't think it's worth a discussion at some point. Seeing reports of some of the gas stations out of gas on 75 Ocala Gainesville as looking at the traffic maps last night, hitting out a tamp up 75. You know, the red lines. Oh, well, that's just a Saturday afternoon. Telling Montgomery and Birmingham on 65. Just I mean, I know there's pushback about. Whitey 65 in this West Alabama corridor and it's not really either or, but are we really going to evacuate mobile going up Highway 43? Is that is that the best use of a state transportation funds? 2513430106, if you want to be in touch with the program, but I was just thinking about that. I don't know that the state's quite ready for something to that magnitude of category five is heading straight toward mobile. And Governor, well, I guess it's been since Governor Riley, maybe Bentley. That locks as we've had one of these mandatory evacuations of the coast. But this day and age 65 might not be able to handle it. So you better alert some back roads as long as I would advise. You got to get a break it here. Come up here shortly. Judy Barlow. This is the Jet Force show it. If you talk with us, it's five. Take this cowboy's hat. Now, if your leather jacket means to you what this hat means to me, then I get. [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] Welcome back to the Jet Force show, let's talk 1065. 2513430106, if you want to be in touch with me, you text me. The next line is wide open and in time permitting, we will get to your text. Real quick rundown. Once again, Gary Palmer at about an hour. Congressman from the sixth congressional district. That's sort of Birmingham-ish, but not completely Birmingham. And I'm a Republican party chairman, John Wall. That's a knee eleven o'clock hour. So please stay tuned for that. Joining us now in studio here always appreciative of anybody who's willing to come in this studio from the Eastern Shore Republican Women's Club, our good friend, Judy Barlow, Judy, good morning. How you been? I'm great, Jeff. How are you today? Doing well, doing well. Thanks for coming on. Thanks for coming by. We appreciate it. Let's kick it off here. Well, I mean, we're less than a month out of this election. How you feeling? We are three Tuesdays away from voting. So we are feeling great. I was talking to someone on the Trump team this morning. The numbers are looking good. We still need to get the vote out. As a Republican party, we're not used to early voting. We're used to going on the day I've been voting, but we are really encouraging. And we're actually seeing people going ahead and going to the polls. And that's really important. Well, and you know, Republicans typically, they tend to, they tend to want to vote on Election Day, but who knows what happens on that day, right? You know, it's tradition. That's where we grew up. That's where we grew up voting is on Election Day. I went and voted yesterday absentee ballot at the Baldwin County Place, and that's really easy to find. It's in Baymanette. You go up there. It's an attorney at law, Will's office. It's one, two, three. Do leave street. And it's a really easy, safe, secure process that they have set up and in place. It won't take very long to do it. And you never know. You look at the storms that are battering Florida right now. It could easily happen to us. So go ahead and get out and vote. Yeah, I just November 5th. Well, here we are to throws a little of an election and all these hurricane, all this inclement weather sort of creeping away and we're due. You know, we are due. We're past due for storms. So, and you don't know what's going to happen in your family life. What the weather is going to be like. So just, just play it safe. And yes, we are a safe state for getting President Trump elected. But that down ballot voting is really critical, especially in some of the districts. District two, for instance, is one that Eastern Shore Republican women is working extremely hard on to get Caroline Dobson elected. She's going up against Democratic, Democrat strong figure, show more figures. And when I talk about district two, I wanted to read off those counties. So if you have any listeners that are in those counties, it's really critical for you to get that vote out for Caroline Dobson. And we're talking Butler Pike Bullock, Macon Russell, Barber, Montgomery, Connecticut, Monroe, Washington, Northwest Mobile, South Clark and Crenshaw. And if you have any questions that I'll reach out to us at erwform@gmail.com, we're always glad to send you in the right direction. You can go to the Secretary of State's website to get more information as well. But we really need to get the vote out for Caroline. And she still needs help with phone banking and door knocking. So if you can help, let us know. She's really, I think, an impressive campaigner. And this goes back. I mean, think about this, Judy. She's been running for that seat ever since that court decision came out. And you see her everywhere. You've seen her over here. And this is not in district to it and over here campaigning. I don't know how much that's going to matter in the end. I think a lot of it is going to be whoever wins the top of the ticket. It's going to have coattails. People will just go vote straight public in the street Democrat. But maybe, maybe there are a few come on Harris voters who will pull the ticket for her. I don't know anybody who's going to vote for Trump and vote for some already figures down ballot. But as far as doing what you got to do, what you control, what's what her trying to control her own destiny. She's really put as much into it as I've seen candidates do it a long time. She has, Caroline has been out, you know, visiting with the people in that district and talking to them and listening. What are their needs? What are, what are their concerns? What can we do to make your life better for you? Because it's not good right now. What we're looking at across America and in district too. Shomori even mentioned, you know, well, what's going on nationally doesn't affect district too? Yes, it does. What's going on nationally? Absolutely affects our everyday life. So she's out there as an average everyday mom, wife, aunt, sister. She is just an average person out there trying to represent the people of that district. Yeah. Well, I, I, I host you pulls it off, but I think if she does it, there's certainly an opportunity there for something else in the future. Let's go through what you got here on your list here. A meeting coming up October 10. So this, this Thursday, what you got for them? We have Secretary of State West Island coming in and we thought as a group that it would be great to hear from our secretary. What's going on with election integrity? What he has done across the state of Alabama to make sure that our elections are safe because we don't see that across the nation right now. And that's a huge concern of our people. And we want them to know that, that their vote does count. And well, I mean, well, you got Jerry Carl, this is his, this will be his last stop before November, because he's obviously not running on the Republican ticket. So it'll be it for him. Right. We had Congressman Carl's wife in Heather Moore last, last month to give us updates. And then Congressman Carl is out of their out of session right now. So it's a great opportunity to hear what's going on, what the latest is out of DC, what he can give us updates on. And it's good to keep our people informed so that they can make the right decisions when it comes to election time. And this meeting, this meeting is at Fair Rock Club 1130? Yes. People start arriving around 11 just to make some angle, but lunches at 1130, the meeting is from 12 to 1. And with both of these great speakers, we will, we will be, we'll be packed for time, but we will get out at 1. And it'll just be a great chance to hear what's going on. And for me to give you just a few updates on some things to watch out for as far as when you go to the election, to go devote some of the amendments that are on the ballot. And give you some dates that you need to know. Oh, and then you got right after that next week. You got your night meeting for those who can't attend like a lunchtime meeting, still on the causeway, right? Yes. Yes. It's at the original oyster house on the causeway. And we do have people that can't attend our day meetings. And this day meeting, we're almost up to 90 right now. So I expect it to be probably 100 people at our day meeting. But our night meetings are smaller. They're more intimate. You get a chance. Last month we had Jack Borrell in city councilman from Fair Hope talking about the bridge. We have Mayor Fair Hope Mayor Sherry Sullivan. So we touch on topics from from local community up to the state up to national with our night and our day meeting. So that's what this one is going to be. And then those who are trying to circle their calendar, they got your veterans meeting on the 14th. And we'll see to be determined on the 19th for that night meeting. But if you want to get involved, it's a great way, guys. These are sort of public and women's club. What's the website duty? esrw.org and you can email us at esrwforum@gmail.com if you want to reach out and get any information on what we're talking about today. What are we hearing? So the mighty Alabama strike force to talk about that a lot. But there's well, there's not just there's a bunch of other different things. It appears going on with this general election cycle like we're in that month window. But the forces have been deployed. The force we are in the middle of our ground game. And I usually go out on the mighty Alabama strike force with several of our of our ladies from our group. But this time we state the few of us that we're going to go from our club state at home because we've got so much work to do. But I talked to Joan this morning, Joan Reynolds, who is in charge of the mighty Alabama strike force. They are out there in northern Georgia right now. They were going to go to Pennsylvania, but the Trump team pulled them back, sent them to northern Georgia because those votes are critical. Georgia is one of those critical states for us to win. They're in Rome, Cummings and Peachtree corner right now as we speak. They'll be coming home this weekend. Shout out to the Rome team. They had the most door knocked knocks yesterday. So it's a friendly competition, but it's I get show bumps when I think about it. When you go door to door and you're talking to prospective voters, independents, non affiliated voters, I'm trying to get them to vote to get out the vote. It's really it's really a worthwhile thing to do. And then they're going to go back the last week of October going into November 5th to election day itself. And they'll be back in Georgia again, getting the vote out. Join by Judy Barlow from the East Shore public and women here on the program. One more thing we got a plug and you've been at the game for a little while. You got a podcast going talk talk. Tell us what it is, how you started, but then tell us what we need to be what we need to know to check it out. So for I am chairman of the legislation and research committee for the National Federation of Republican Women. So as a local club, we belong to the Alabama Federation of Republican Women, which is our state organization. And then all the states pull together and we are part of the National Federation. So one of the things that we wanted to do this year for our legislation and research committee to get information to our women, which is 60 to 70,000 strong and we reach over 120,000 with our with our emails and podcasts is for us to be able to talk to elected officials and find out what's going on. So we've had, and these are all available on our NFRW website and on our Eastern Shore Republican women website. But we've had conversations with Senator Ted Cruz from Texas on the border situation, which is our number one issue that we're focused on this year. Last week, I had an interview with Congressman David Swicard from the 1st District of Arizona, and that's like Maricopa County and that area. And that's a critical Arizona is one of those seven states that we've got to win. But he's talking about what brought us in our economy situation that we're in. It's not just about the cost of gas or the cost of groceries or the cost of medicine or rent or whatever, but what brought us there, we are $35 trillion in debt. And yet the Biden-Harris administration keep handing money out and printing it every day. So next week on Thursday, I'm going to be talking with Senator Tom Cotton from Arkansas again about the failures of the Harris Biden administration and what has led up to where we are now and where we can go to get our country back right again. You know, every time I see what's going on in western North Carolina, going to these supply chain panics because of strikes and we've had too many supply chain panics in my life in the last few years. I have to say, I'm ready to get this loser out of office and get a change. And I know like this is like this national election really, I won't say for the first time, but probably more directly feels like it's what's going on in DC at the very, very top of the food chain really is trickling down to everybody. And like you see this concern about refugees being resettled in these communities all throughout the state. You even just go down the summerdale and go check out the school. Well, don't do that. But the second language being English there and there's a lot of things going on in this country now. I think people are kind of ready to turn the page on and the inflation is the one that is the most obvious, but there's more where that came from. It is and it's like where do you start on that one? You have a failed immigration policy. You have out of control spending. You know, it's just you don't even know where to start when we look at the failed immigration policy with a systemic abuse of the asylum parole process. The CHNV program that we've all talked about recently. That's one example of that where we're bringing in illegal aliens to the tune of 520,000 were flown into the US. That doesn't even count in the ones that are crossing illegally over the border. We are flying these people in. We are giving them money. We're giving them visas. We're giving them Xbox, Xboxes. We're paying for all kinds of things. We're putting them in housing. We're giving them a talk to somebody the other day in the veterans administration. We have veterans that are being put out of their housing so that we can house illegal immigrants. We need to take care of our people first. Once we get our people taken care of in this whole situation with FEMA and what's going on with the hurricane relief, the money that's being spent, I've got numbers right here. We're not taking care of our own people. We need to take care of our own people first and then we'll be a strong nation and ready to help other countries that are in need. You can't get on the federal government for a whole lot, but right now we're at a place where the federal government, I mean, you sit around and wait for the government to solve your problems. You're in trouble, but now it just seems like the federal government is a force for taking us in the wrong direction. It is doing me wrong things. It is sending people back. It's okay if it's just sort of where in the stasis and things are where they are. You're determining your own destiny and, you know, through hard work and software alliance and everything, but we have a federal government's intentionally working against people. That's right. They need to look. They need to work for us. Kamala Harris talked yesterday about Congress coming back to work. They need to get to work for the American people. So let's get a quick break in here. Judy Barlow, one more segment coming up. This is the Jet Force show. What if I talk, 106, 5? It's my life. It's all right. My big sea land is life. More, much more than this. I did it my way. Yes, there were times. I'm sure you knew. Welcome back to the Jet Force show and if I talk, 106, 5, 2, 5, 1, 3, 4, 3, 0, 1, 0, 6. When I be in touch with the program, just hit us up on that text line and we'll get to your text in the next act. A few more minutes here with Judy Barlow. A few things we can check out the list here before we go part ways. Trump talk, tell us what that's about. Trump talk is something that we have out right now from the Trump team and it's calling 10 people to call 10 people. And what you do is you will call 10 people, encourage and do two things. You encourage them to vote and encourage them to get the vote out. And then have that person call 10 people. So it's calling 10 friends to call 10 friends. We're working on that right now. And then Al Gop has straight force information online as well. Our Alabama GOP, they're targeting Georgia and North Carolina all the month of October through November 5th with door knocking and phone banking. You can go to our website and get the link to get to Al Gop or you can go directly to algop.org. So those are just some more information, some additional information. Let me go back to Trump talk for a minute. You can reach out to all seven states from the comfort of your home. So you can call people in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and North Carolina, which are those seven key states and you can, one call makes a difference. Talking to one person makes a difference. So sit in the comfort of your home and help us with Trump talk to reach out to these people in these battleground states. One more thing here. Now you mentioned you went ahead and you've absolutely voted. But you said, for whatever reason, the idea is just get people out there and get them voted. How do they do so? You can, for Baldwin County, you can go to one, two, three, Doleve Street. It's Attorney Will's office and there are signs out front. That's where we're doing early vote and not early voting. It's called absentee ballot voting. You can take your application or get an application there and get your ballot there and vote. And it took me probably 10 minutes to do it in eight minute yesterday. There you have it. We're closing out on this. And I saw this the other day too. And you and I are talking about this off air. Hillary Clinton, I don't know who thought it was a good idea to roll out Hillary Clinton right now on the Democrat side, but talk about a toxic brand. But here we are in the throes of a presidential election and she's out there and it turns out she's saying lots of, she's saying concerning stuff about controlling the message and losing control. And that's the way these people think though, right? You need that they command a narrative. They command the, they are the messenger and if it's a great unwashed out there, start democratizing our news. Well, we're not going to have this advantage anymore. No. And we, you and I won't have the opportunity to do what we're doing today and that's to get the message out to people. But you listened to Elon Musk talking about it right now. When I watched Nora O'Donnell reach down and press that button to mute. Does everything you need to know? Like that is, that is emblematic of why the media view themselves as these gatekeepers, right? So look on her face when she did that. It's like they are the boss over us and that we're just stupid people and we're not right. Yeah, these guys, we tell you something. I know these people, I was around these people for a long time in DC. They are not impressive people at all. Judy, we got to leave it there, but thanks for stopping by this morning and we'll do it again soon. Thanks for always having us. All right, we got to get a break here. We'll pick it up on the other side. This is the Jeff Pore Show. And if we talk, we'll do six, five. [music] From Bucks Pocket to the shores of Orange Beach at all points in between, an insider's perspective on Alabama politics. It's the Jeff Pore Show. [music] Welcome back to the Jeff Pore Show. And if we talk, we'll do six, five. Thanks for being with us on this hour number two of this program on this Tuesday morning. Sorry to get my, still getting my seal eggs back underneath me, taking the yesterday off. But once again, thank you to April Murray Fogle for filling in. Still to come on the program this morning, about half an hour from now. Carson Gary Palmer from Central Alabama, 6th Congressional District. And he sits on the House Oversight Committee looking forward to having a discussion with him kind of about, I think, the hurricane response. But not just what we see on the news, dominating the news right now, Hurricane Milton, as it tracks toward the Tampa Bay area. But the Helene response as well. The weird back and forth between the Vice President of Rod DeSantis. Like, who really? She is, during the break, I was looking at some social media fodder about her 60 minutes interview. I just, does she want to be President of the United States? Do we think that maybe she doesn't? How can one be this unprepared? I mean, friendly interview. And then here's what's absolutely outrageous. And this is like another reason to distrust your mainstream media. 60 Minutes website took the Harris interview and edited out the word salad answers. Like they just, there's just such a disdain for the public. Oh, wow, we got a lot of text here. Let's see. Oh, wait, that's where the last show, uh, scorel. Right, so we need, need, need to win the presidency and district two for no other reason than to keep these liberal white guilt virtue signaling skank. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Thanks. I mean, from gloating to make them cry and feel afraid of rabbit radical going after radicals, going after there for being the racist and trying to make us out. They try to make us out to me. It's all they got. Scroll. It's, it's this. It is that they do the virtue signaling, but they don't really need it. Like that goofball city councilman here in Fair Hope, signing that letter about resettling Haitian migrants in your local communities. He doesn't really mean that. He doesn't want to hide Haitian migrants coming to Fair Hope. They said just just absolutely, absolutely incredible, but that's the sort of it. They want to be able to virtue signal to be little you. To make you seem like the racist to make you seem like the bigot. It's like a superiority complex. And this is exactly what it is. And we have some of our friends on the right like to do this too, but just to kind of, kind of look like they are more sophisticated than you sneer a little at you. Listen, not and we do politics. We have to be above the fray. And there's a human component to this. It's not just an intellectual exercise. Now, like, my take on this is like, I don't think you should get too emotionally invested in politics. I think you need to be more emotionally invested in your own self reliance, your own abilities, your own ability to be successful and do what you got to do to provide for your family. Don't sit around, wait for the government to do it for you. And that's why you need some emotional detachment. But there's people who are emotionally or claim to be emotionally detached for other reasons and it's because of their intellectual pursuits that we're all just sort of parts of some kind of grand political science experiment here. And those are the people who are the worst because their frauds are pseudo intellectuals. Well, we got here, James, the official troll, the Jeff Port show, nine years, not a P for Republicans or Trump. She's doing time for the Republican Party. And what's so sad Republicans don't give up, like, Oh, sending me. Tina. Okay, here's the deal, James. This is important. If you want to maintain your. If you want to maintain your position on this program, James, and not be banned. Don't just send me what you read off a left wing message board and put it into text line and multiple text. Feel me to take you serious. If you don't want to be Ricky attached. This is what Ricky does. He finds things that I'm not completely not talking about. I don't care about a Colorado judge. Okay, doesn't matter. You don't be judges or artists, country, James. A lot. And you have bad actors everywhere. So don't do this. This is what you guys don't let do you. You fight. You cherry pick and you find anecdotal evidence and you try to paint the entire. Party is such. And, you know, going to work does it too. I don't care. You're not going to do it on this program. Gene speaking of like a bull lovable. We could be be party slogan is between the sea and the Jordan. They're only be Israel. That is why everyone was assassinated and he was about to sign the eyes will record. Well, tell you what, you know, it doesn't matter. It's it's like I said, you could think whatever you want to about the Israeli position. Especially this country to free country. We have first amendment. I mean, like you could have protest. What I what I find just this is a critique. You know, they have the first amendment right to do this, but I have a first amendment right to critique them. Are the media and lighting themselves on fire. For anything that is right of center. In Edgar feeding, I guess, said what would ale.com's reaction to bed. If something good poop went up there and put Trump 2024 on the front gate at Auburn University. Tell me. And it's it's it's it's it's a double standard. By the idiots who are in our and then there are some just stupid people. Who have jobs as journalists in Alabama. Group think. Lack of talent. Uninteresting. Just total total minds of much. TV print. They would have they would have taken their marching orders. From corporate up in New York or wherever. And that would have dominated the news. Our conservatives or Republicans making some students feel uncomfortable. I'm already Jeff River heads of the government. It's not going to most North Carolina rebuild. We're going to take over uranium mines and mineral rights. Is that even possible? I didn't know there were uranium mines in North Carolina. Western North Carolina. I don't think so. Okay, there is a lot of crap. If there is a reason to be upset about FEMA's response. But there are people who are making things up and creating controversies. And here's what it's doing guys. When you when you have these helicopters and they do these weird videos about these helicopters coming in and screwing up the disaster response or whatever. And it's all like a fictional and it's all dark secret government kind of conspiracy stuff. All of that. But you're detracting from like the real problem, which is FEMA is not doing a very good job. So here's what happens. You put out some of these social media quote unquote influencers are like hopping on board. Let's see, it's conspiracy or whatever edited video or out of context things. And people are making it go viral. And then FEMA is doing a bad job and they run for cover. What do they say? Disinformation. What you're seeing out there is disinformation. It's not putting this information out there. And let the public see FEMA for what it is. You do not have to embellish or make things up. You don't have to do that. This government agency under Joe Biden is doing an awful job. And whenever somebody comes along with some kind of kooky crazy thing that they saw the Internet or what goes viral, but it tends not to be true. Well, that gives Kamala Harris and gives Joe Biden that gives green John Pierre and that gives whoever an opportunity to say, well, look, look at all this disinformation out there. Where do I just find? Hey, Jeff, it's Kamala gun legal. She said she owned a Glock and she had fired it. So I guess California has a list of unsafe guns and the Glock is allegedly one of them, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's illegal. That's going to be a big discussion for a lot of sick and mid-bit guys. But I know that when she said that she had a Glock, it raised a lot of eyebrows. Marty, does someone ill that come to you all? What's the back story? Seriously, I would love to know what everybody does. The L.com has an agenda and the site is almost nothing but clickbait. L.com did, I think, Alabama or by wrecking three newspapers. I have a colleague knowledge. There are some reporters who are worth reading there. But, you know, we used to have like a major cities have a newspaper. It may not be a shell of what it once was. But L.com was so quick to abandon the print model, number one. And then number two, they became a website. Marty, it's nothing to do with it. Some of the people I don't like their personal, I just think that they are just really dumb, stupid people. Blazy and liberal. A lot of laziness at L.com, by the way. A lot of entitlement. I'm surprised they haven't unionized, to be honest. But it's not so much that. L.com doesn't exist for you and I, Marty. L.com, unless you read their sports, maybe you can make the case that they're geared for an Alabama audience. But really what they are, they're writing about Alabama for people outside of Alabama. And it's like we're some kind of zoo exhibit. Look at the stupid people in Alabama and their Confederate statues are looking to stupid people in Alabama who won't expand Medicaid or look at the stupid people in Alabama who don't want Haitians re-settled in their communities. I mean, they write in a way that is about Alabama but for like Washington, D.C. or for New York or, you know, some major, Boston or wherever. They write in Alabama and they sit and Archibald went to Harvard after he won its Pulitzer and spent a bunch of time up there in Cambridge. And that's the model because there's not enough clicks in the state of Alabama. What they want to do is they want enough clicks to have the stroke that they have in the state so they had to gear their website for a national audience. They geared toward a national audience but they do so by demeaning or belittling people in the state. And that's my beef with AL.com, Marty. We'll be right back. This is FM Talk, 106-5. I'm in Monday, a wealthy customer, both the Indiana and me. Eat the girl so far away. Then it cried just south of Nashville and it turned that car around. He said, "This is where you get off, boy, 'cause I'm going back to Alabama." As I stepped out of that Cadillac, I said, "Mr. Many Thanks." He said, "You don't have to call me Mr. Mr." The whole world called behind. He said, "Look at my 10th Jet Force show. What I've been talking about, 0-6-5-2-5-1-3-4-3-0-1-0-6 to working in our way through." Subtext, Governor of the next segment, Congressman Gary Palmer of the 6th Congressional District here at Alabama. Pat, look, we have more options and just I tend to escape for Hurricane Florida. All he has North to go, yes. Well, we have more. We have, what, 65? 65, I think, is like, they got a wide 65 at some point. Who knows? We learned a hard way sometimes. I tend, but they got 95, 75. I mean, they have some North-South routes, especially coming out of Tampa. They're building the Suncoast Parkway, which I remember, let's see, had to be 5, 6, 7 years ago. It was a controversial parkway. It was a controversial road project coming out of Tampa, headed North. The old way up out of St. Petersburg up Highway 19. A bunch of different ways around the big bed, and they could go. It was several years ago. I didn't mean 17, maybe it was 18. They evacuated the entire state of Florida, and it was just, you couldn't even go down Highway 90 without running into traffic. I need to text your hi, Jeff. I lived in Tallahassee for three years. I'm beautiful area ruined by Democrats. It has been ruined. I was there during the Gilliam years. We were only going to spend a short time there because my wife was in law school. I wound up staying at an extra couple of years. But yeah, it was pretty terrible. They have a union municipal power company there that the city, they slow walked certain neighborhoods in Tallahassee, restored power after a storm, but sped up to more Democrat ones. Just all kinds of cultural rot there. Hey, Jeff, did you see Cliff Sims interview with Sean Ryan? They're pretty good at H.L. Harken Hockey starts today. Have a great day. You like some weird things. Cliff Sims and H.L. Hockey, not on my top 10 list at all. See Daniel and Foley. Love the show. Captain Doug, morning to you. Hey, Jeff, morning to you. Betty, both sides already have their lawsuits ready to fire out of ever six or failure to provide voting to all those eligible. Well, they're predominantly Republican areas where they're not going to be able to vote. Asheville is a blue pocket. Boone is a blue pocket. Rest in western North Carolina is pretty solidly red. One of the largest lithium deposits was discovered in that portion of North Carolina. North Carolina has a lithium mine. The extreme nutcases are saying the government made it flood to ruin people's land. To mine more lithium, guess they had never heard of eminent domain. It's simpler than controlling the weather. There's a lot of that talk out there. It troubles me that people think that the federal government's capable of controlling the weather. That's some dark stuff. Do you? I only think about this. The government controlling the weather is just a simply outrageous thing. Yeah, sure they can make it snow in China by shooting. I mean, they can make it snow in a ski resort. But a hurricane, guys, come on. Your government can barely keep the lights on. Your government can barely function as it is. Do you think the federal government can control the weather? Terry, I have heard a lot of that. From people that I would acknowledge to be elite, let's say that's really sophisticated but smart enough to know better. This is why I just miss all of this kind of like tin foil hat stuff. And it's real simple. I've seen the top levels of the federal government in action. And it's disappointing. It's a letdown. You guys think your government's capable of anything. It's capable of a lot of things but not anything. Controlling the weather is on that list. But a lot of the dark arts, you think, it's all Hollywood. The government's a human creation, though. It's a creation of man just like everything else and not a deity. And sometimes we deify them. I'll be right back. This is FM Talk, 106.5. You're waiting in Jackson. Behind my Japan plan. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ billion dollars left over from Hurricane Sandy, which was 12 years ago. And apparently the problem is that funds get earmarked and they can't be used for anything else. So I've got my staff working on a bill right now that will release all those earmarks. And if it turns out that they need that money at some point down the road, we can do a supplemental or put it in appropriations, but we shouldn't be sitting on $8 billion when there are people suffering like they are in western North Carolina. The other thing, Jeff, and this is one of the things that really hacks me off, is they're still sending out money for COVID pandemic relief. They're paying for funerals. Well, the pandemic was declared over back in May of '23. And even then, they postponed to declaring the pandemic over. It should have been declared over probably a year before that. And they're looking to spend another $170 plus billion on COVID. So I've got my DC staff working on this right now. And like I say, I've already heard from Mark Green, he's going to be holding during a side visit in western North Carolina and holding hearings as early as next week. And I've also reached out to Samaritan's Purse and told them that they have any issues with FEMA. They have my personal cell number to give me a call. Well, I mean, it seems they gave the Congressman, I mean, you and I are old out to remember 2000 and well, I was a five and George W. Bush, you could train on Kanye. Well, this might have changed like Kanye West saying that George Bush doesn't care about black people and then the crowd kind of cheering and giggling. And like this, to me now, granted, it's not a major metropolitan area like New Orleans was and it did feel a little lackluster. But if we're going to apply that same standard here, nearly 20 years later, I mean, people ought to be lighting a hair on fire about this. And then I just, I don't, I don't see a sense of urgency at all. Well, I hate to make it sound like politics, but I think it's politics. And if it hit Charlotte, you know, one of their strongholds or Philadelphia are the New Jersey coast like it did in 2012, they would have been all over it. There are other, there are things going on that just demand an explanation. And that's why I've urged the Chairman to bring in these people from FEMA to bring in people from the Government Accountability Office. There's one of the things about holding money the way they're holding money as it just is right for fraud and misuse. And we're already sending out over almost $250 billion a year in improper payments. And we can't, we can't come up with the money. And like I said, we're, I don't know if I'm missing this, but, but Biden, Harris, Harris, Biden, whatever you want to call it, administration is sending $153 million a Lebanon. That's, that's ridiculous. And they're only sending $100 million into Western North Carolina. We ought to be mobilizing troops. We need engineering companies. I don't mean private companies. I'm talking about using our military engineers to get in there and start repairing the infrastructure. There are only maybe an hour away from Fort Liberty, what used to be Fort Bragg. So it, I think this demands some serious questions and we need to get some answers. But there's sort of this culture and I think this has a lot to do with it. You tell me what you think of this. I mean, you know, it's become cliche, but Ronald Emmanuel saying never let a crisis go to waste. And that's the way they view these, these, these, these circumstances or these, you know, whatever it is, be it a hurricane or a pandemic, it's an opportunity for the government to do big things. And you got to break that mentality because right now that, that opportunity to do big things seems like it is down finally and kind of getting in the way of the primary objective, which is responding to the crisis directly. It's just, there's a, like a Washington DC mindset when there's a storm approaching, people get these dollar signs in their eyes and they think this is a chance to bring in more money from the federal government. The federal government's going to have this sort of, you know, the credit card and they're going to get to go on a shopping spree here. And that's used to me to be a lot of the problem right now. Well, it's also insulting that they said they attend people $750 when they're basically providing a credit card to people who are here illegally, free health care, housing. I mean, if this doesn't wake up the American people up, it's just unbelievable how abusive they are of the American public. And yet so many in the American public still follow them like women, something they're going to go right over the cliff with them. It's just, I would like to, I'd like to find out what's going on with FEMA and as opposed to how efficient and effective these other groups like Samaritan's Purse have been. You remember back in 2011 when the tornadoes struck through Alabama, one of them wiped out my hometown of Hackleburg, Alabama up in Northwest Alabama. I was, I wasn't in Congress, I was still running the Alabama policy seat and a group of us went up there and first thing that we ran to was FEMA wanted us to have helmets, goggles and chainsaw chaps. They weren't going to ask for it. So we just reminded them that they didn't have authority over us and we went to a place where we started cutting up trees and getting, removing debris. I understand the need for people to be organized but I think the people who do the best job is the Baptist group that provides disaster relief and Samaritan's Purse. They're the ones that are, they get to the sites and get to work. They don't have all the bureaucratic red tape or the politics. What are the things and I, you know, is it valid to be concerned that FEMA money was used on migrant resettlement versus disaster relief? And that's why Beyork has said what he said that there really was, there really is a depletion there. I mean, do you have any insight into what that, the truth is on that? Yeah, that's why I've got my staff working on this. That's a separate account that's earmarked for that. I don't remember frankly approving it but apparently it was approved in something that if it's earmarked and that's the issue, how about those funds? This is truly an emergence. This is not a time to sit around and say, well, we can do this here but we can't do this there and Congress needs to do this. Okay, we'll just on their market stuff, let's meet the needs right now, the immediate need, and there's hopefully this storm that's in the Gulf right now is going to weaken. It won't be quite as destructive as Helene has been that we don't have time to sit around pulling fingers. We need to get resources where they need them and they need them in Western North Carolina right now. Well, it's like the perception is that there's a bunch of FEMA trailers being moved around and they're putting Haitian or Venezuelan migrants in them and they're using these resources to feed them to give them government benefits and while we didn't anticipate a hurricane, now we're called shorthand because we used all these resources here. I mean, that's at least sort of the perception. Do you think there's any truth to that? Well, they have a fund that they've been using for them but that goes back to what I said earlier about these earmarks for different funds at FEMA. They're supposedly by law, can't spend that money on anything else but that same thing with the $8 billion lift over from Sandy. Supposedly, they can only spend it on that or on COVID. I'm saying, get rid of the earmarks. Use those funds where they're needed immediately and they're needed immediately in North Carolina. Well, let me ask you. Do you think that's, I mean, let's talk about what FEMA's mandate is, what it ought to be doing because when you hear FEMA, you think storm earthquake, you think, you know, natural disaster, fire or whatever, you don't think about migrant or immigration or anything like that. And that seems to me to be like, "Oh, well, we got this agency over here. They're not busy right now. Let's deploy them here." And that's not really what their purpose is. I mean, is that something that goes on regularly or is this kind of new to the Biden administration? I think it's new to the Biden administration. And I think it was to a certain degree, some of that was being done at the border but nowhere near what's going on right now. I mean, during the Obama administration down at the border, but nowhere near what's going on right now. And this is, I think, I pray to God that Trump gets elected. We hold our majority in the House and get it in the Senate because when we do, I think we need to have a deep dive into the Homeland Security Agency and look at what they've done through FEMA. Look at what's going on with the Secret Service. If you look across the board at Homeland Security, the whole thing, that's a disaster in and of itself under the leadership of Mayorkas. Well, you're right. And here's the other thing Congressman before we move on. There's a lot of vulnerabilities being exposed to some of our government agencies, some very vital government agencies. And right now, I mean, the Secret Service has led us down, FEMA, I think is led us down in North Carolina at least. But do you feel like down at the border? Yeah, but do you think about everything that Homeland Security has under its jurisdiction and tell me one area they haven't screwed up? Farad, do you think that's like a problem that is like isolated to Homeland Security? Do you think just to like ramp it throughout the federal government, and we're just sort of now getting a dose of it, that there's a lot of ineptitude and competence throughout your federal government? It's an absolute incompetence is one thing, but intentional, intentional politicizing everything. Look at the EPA. Look at the Department of Energy. Look at the Department of Labor. Look at the Department of Education. I mean, we're witnessing an assault on the American public at every level through a lot of mismanagement and intentional mismanagement for federal agencies. So like I said, you just tell me one area where you can put on the outside of our military, and the Biden administration's policies have been so destructive of our military, particularly the morale and ability to recruit new soldiers and sailors and airmen. I just don't know that I can find a single area in the Biden administration where I can say they did a good job. Yeah, I mean, you think about that. That's a incredible statement. Like, well, there must be something they did, right? But it's hard. It's hard to come up with that. And I mean, I don't know what to make of that, but anyway, we'll move on real quick because I want to get you the least way in. We're in that month window election November 5th. How you feeling out there? Well, I spoke to Trump. He feels good about where he is. I think he's going to win. I'm encouraged about where we're heading on the Senate side. Tim Sheehee is ahead of Pastor Montana and Trump's going to win Montana big. I think the Democrats are starting to realize that they're going to lose that seat. We're going to win West Virginia. So Montana would be our 51st Republican senator. But I think you've also got to look at a couple of other races. Trump has a pretty substantial lead in Ohio. And I think Marina has got a real chance of defeating shared Brown with S and C. And then if Trump does well in Pennsylvania, I think McCormick could win. Wisconsin could be another one where has it Eric, has a chance if Trump does well in Wisconsin. So I think things are looking pretty good on the Senate side. I think they look, I think they look pretty good for Trump on the House side. If we have a good night, we'll pick up four or five seats. If we have a great night, we'll pick up eight to 10. And that's huge. So the key is everybody listening to my voice right now, to your voice, the rest of this next four weeks need to make sure that they are registered and that they turn out in both. And if they've got friends in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada, Arizona, they need to be on the phone telling them to make sure to make sure they're registered to vote. They go vote. Carson, get to leave it there. Appreciate your time. Let's do this again soon. Thanks for having me on, Jeff. Thank you, Congressman. Congressman Palmer there from the 6th congressional district. We will be right back. This is F. Kim talk. 106.5 I can't get sleep at night parking lot so loud and right is he hasn't worked in 20 years. Probably never made a single person cold. But I can't say the same for me. I've done it many times. Looking back to the job portion of the talk with those six five interesting with us on this Tuesday morning, John Wall, our Republican party chairman coming up in the next hour. We'll kind of talk some shop with him. A bunch of techs to get to here. We'll kick it off now. I know the government is dirty enough that if they could, they would refer to our government as not controlling the weather. Okay. I don't. I just wouldn't really frustrate me. And it's like I didn't know there's evil people in the government. But I don't know where this is coming from. Like you really think that you really think that there. I mean, I know that there are some people with some evil sort of tendencies that they would create a tropical fire. I mean a category five hurricane tropical weather. And I don't know how you would do that. They must have a big hurricane machine. I don't know you could tampon insulin or something. But that they're able to do this and impact an election. Like if you could control the weather, why even have elections? You're like God, it's not deified to government. This is what some of these people in the far fringes of the right do. They don't necessarily worship the government like a deity, but they deify it like it is deity capabilities. It was like the power of God. Your government's not that powerful. Government can be a force for bad force or evil. Where the government's shameless is that they're promoting it as like a climate change phenomenon. And they're using it to try to impose some kind of like energy infrastructure regime on the people in this country that isn't economically viable. And they may some may be doing it for what they think are the right reasons. There are others that are just going to profit off of this. There are people in your federal government and on the left, you don't think you need the ability to travel around that you don't need to live in an isolated place where you need a combustion engine that that you just need to move to the city and we'll we'll figure it out for you. The state can do this. We don't need we don't need all these the small farms or whatever you don't need the ability to load up your car and drive to Chicago or wherever. But to say that they're able to control the weather, we got we can we that's coop land. Okay. We'll be right back. This is F.F. Talk with those six, five. From Bucks Pocket to the shores of Orange Beach at all points in between, an insider's perspective on Alabama politics. It's the Jeff Porsche show. I don't think we've done it this way. Welcome back to the Jeff Porsche show. And if I talk with those six, five out of number three begins right now. Thanks for sticking with us on this Tuesday. So glad you could join us. I absolutely am. It's good to be back here after getting some time off the yesterday, two, five, one, three, four, three, zero one, zero six. We need to be a touch for the show text us. And I'll probably respond maybe to your liking, maybe not to your liking, but it's a sort of the duties of a host. Can't please everybody, but we'll do our best to at least be responsive. Still to come on the program. I'll be a Republican party chairman John Wall at about a half hour from now. So please stay tuned for that. Everything is kind of Milton, people evacuating. Something was interesting to me. And like I said, I am not an expert on, I have lived through a lot of these evacuated through from a lot of these storms. So when the hurricane helene came through Florida and where it did, as I say, a colleague who grew up down there in the Tampa area and was explaining to me like this, that hurricane helene eroded a lot of the sand dunes, a lot of the natural barriers that might slow down serves an impediment to any other storms. And why this one is so much more dangerous and serious, not that they're not serious, but what makes this a bigger thread is thick. The coastline is vulnerable because those dudes though that if that natural infrastructure, if you will has not been restored, and it's not going to slow down this category five hurricane, potentially category five hurricane when it comes on the land. So that that is something that's why it's explained to me and why the state of Florida is taking this so seriously. There's a little interesting side story here. This, this, this spat between Kamala Harris and Ron DeSantis. She tried to call, he didn't take her call. She said he said he would have, but if I kind of went on Hannity, I think he went on Fox and Francis more than it said, look, there's no, she doesn't need to be involved. She, she's the vice president. She's not the president. She's only college. She's like, I've dealt with dozens of these storms in the past as the governor of Florida. I have, I've dealt with this stuff before and not what said she ever called during the Biden presidency. And she's going to call now. Why is she calling it? Because she's running for president. I just don't call me is essentially what she's saying. Or he's saying, I mean, so anyway, that is making that what you will is probably a little bit of noise, but the politics of hurricanes, this is not a, I don't think that's really good. This is not going to wind up to working out well for Biden. He is not a, he's not a charismatic leader. He's not a guy. You're like, oh, his presence makes me makes me want to do best. I just, I thought George W. Bush had a little bit of that, but I don't think Biden has any of it. Bush took it for Katrina. He took a hit unfairly, I think, in some regards, had some unforced errors with the Katrina response. This is what we gotta, we gotta watch out for. I'll see here. Let me go through some text. Uh, Michael, I don't believe that garbage about the government being able to control the weather. There's tons of actual examples of them trying to do it hard to argue that they haven't and wouldn't do it if they could. The reason people are buying into these conspiracies is the public is waking up to how you truly, you will, the world has become. But it's always to me, it was the eye opening thing was just kind of seeing who's in these positions of power throughout your, your federal government. And, and, you know, like talking to us, spending time with them and realizing not only are they just kind of ordinary people, they're just not very impressive or interesting or they're, they're, they're government bureaucrats that they're soulless in some ways because I, you know, maybe they're, they're obviously liberal. But Hillary Clinton or was it Joe Biden, one DC by 90% did they obviously have a belief in a big government, a big, but they're not like there's something about a civil servant job that zaps the, the life out of you, the ambition out of you, because it becomes a waiting game and you're waiting until you had a certain milestone and you could collect a government pension or you get this government benefit or whatever. And it's not about working hard, trying to create the best outcome for your, for the tax. It doesn't, that matters. And you like, you, you sustain that culture long enough and you become a part of it. But these aren't people who are ambitious enough to create some massive weathermaking machine. They're digging a government can't control the weather. But them in the Democratic Party are trying to control us. We the people we own the country and the government needs to wake up. Well, there is this, I think it's a mentality that you're not able to take care of yourself. You're not able to provide for yourself that the government needs to be like this sort of, um, it's almost like a charitable organization. And it's up to the entire society, the very top echelons of society to, to do their part. When they say do your part, you hear, like, you hear this talk about paying their fair share or whatever. But why? Well, why does like Kamala Harris care about how much people are taxed? And it's not because they're taking money from the rich and giving it to the poor because what have we seen the government just spends and borrows that will. It doesn't, it doesn't, it does whatever it wants at will with a total disregard for its balance sheet. So it's not as if they are like, well, you know, sorry, Wall Street or sorry, uh, corporate America, but we're going to have to hit this tax a little higher and confiscate this wealth from you because we got to provide for a poorest. No, it's instead it's like, well, we don't believe that you should have all of this. Why? Because it's just unfair and people, we don't have a more fair system because because fairness is not, it ought to be like everybody has to be equal. So you, you could have too much. And we don't want you having so much because it just, it creates envy or what it is like the worst impulse, right? LV, whose fuel role is this COVID buddy held by FEMA paid for? I don't know the answer to that question. Uh, on a text or morning Jeff from Dave, this news is not reporting on the FEMA money. Channel five is in with the rest of the crooked media. Tim, Jeff, do you think they are possibly sole role in relief efforts to try to make it hard on these people to vote for Trump? No, I think they're incompetent. They just suck. I mean, yes, you know, we, we, we try to ascribe a motive, but sometimes it's just this. They're just not that good at their jobs. And this is always on to be the lesson. And like the government should be able to respond to this, but we can't have that anticipation anymore. We can't have that expectation because they're clearly not living up to their mandate. And why? Like, have they drilled this? Are they attempted this? Are they like game playing this? Are they wargamed it? A hurricane response? No, they're just making it up and saying go along. And these things don't really work that way. There's no one with like the experience, the institutional knowledge on how to respond to a storm ravaged area in like a mountain landscape like Burnsville or Spruce Pine, North Carolina. There's no one is like thought about this. And we used to be really good as a country at this. Ah, and a textured decides to distribute some money for illegal aliens in any capacity. That is our tax money. And should they not, they should not be put in prison? Well, I'm gonna tell you a secret. I mean, sometimes things get in the spending packages, these, these thousands and thousands of pages that you don't realize and the executive, the executive has a broad authority, a broad discretion. Keith early made a comment about JD crow huffing glue and then making a political cartoon. Probably the funniest thing I've heard all day and probably blew through as well. Well, ever since JD crow got his blue habit, I think it's probably sometime the very beginning of the Trump years. He just got off the rails. Everybody, he's depicted everybody in a clan outfit at one time or another in this state. It's just disappointing. It's just to watch the Keith the deterioration. So my, I think could be talented. It's just, I say this, he has no idea who I am, but he's my neighbor. I look down the street from him. He's like, he'll say hello to you, you know, but I'm, you know, it's a risk of, of, I don't know, I don't think it would be confrontational at all. But anyway, why why let pleasantries go to waste? His cartoon just got in this direction. I mean, part of it, maybe his glue huffing experiences, but probably a lot of it has to do with ale.com and the bosses at ale.com who want him to lean into that left wing, anger, the hate, and there's something therapeutic about it, you know, to see, to see Kay Ivey in a clan robe and hood that they get to depict her in such a way that she deserves because she won't expand Medicaid or they can do that to like who else? So Tommy Tumberville in his big old ears, and he's just a dumb red naked football coach, but the stupid Republicans in Alabama keep voting him in. I mean, it's just that there's such animosity for you and I that we put these people in power to just have the wrong worldview. And it's not like in a way that's like funny anymore, it's it's angry. It's just just mean spiritedness. Ah, see, buzz. Isn't the Act four corridor one of the last Democrat strongholds in Florida? The Act four corridors always a swing. Oh, stronghold. So you think of Florida, the northern half of Florida is a very public kid. And the way people used to think about the South Southern half, which was the West Coast. So you think like Fort Myers, Naples, even Brandon Sarasota, sub degree. And then on the other side of the peninsula, going south from Cape Canaveral, Daytona Beach really to down all the way to the Key Biscayne, Miami and so on and so forth as a blue voting area. But that's not hasn't been true anymore, Maas. And I for was kind of in the middle. I mean, obviously, you know, people voting in coconut Grove are different from the voters and like Jay Florida or wherever. And the I for corridor was like that kind of, well, you know, there's a little bit of both of these people. But we've seen over time that Florida is no longer a swing state. It was blue for for about 10 years. And now it's swung back the other way. Squirrel, someone can control the weather. It'll be a private company funded by shadow government subsidies and usually the secret alien technology. Uh, Jeff, what about the, the dem friend Satan? And then here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Jeff is some Ricky. Jeff, we have been controlling the weather as weapons for a long time. There you have it. Ladies and gentlemen, that's all the news you could use from the text line. Ricky with the, uh, the parting blue. Keep them coming 2513430106. We'll be right back. This is FM talk one of six five. Smoke and cigarettes and watch and get the anger in. I don't tell me I've nothing to do. It's good to see you. I must go. I know I'm the good friend. Anyway, my eyes and my black and rebel flag flies high above it all. I've been in the wind like a man can. Now the history, the cold and sting, but they still smell the powder burn. And they're probably always will. And only you'll want to go back to the Jeff Port shoulder for talk one oh six five. They should stay with us on this Tuesday morning. Coming up on tomorrow's show quick programming notice we tend to do in this segment. Joy Clark with news talk 93 one and Montgomery and, uh, tentatively speaking, I believe we're going to have Congressman Dale Strong from the fifth congressional district. We'll have him on talk a little about election and, uh, I think female response, um, Congress was strong former, uh, former, um, he driving ambulance or he was a medic or something like I don't think it was a medic. Uh, but he was a first responder at one point. Um, and see what he thinks is going on here. Always a compelling character too. Uh, I like, I'd like Congressman Strong. Um, he plays the game outright for Huntsville and he's a good Congressman for that district up there. Uh, he's a, he's a friend. He's a new guy. He's a freshman, but he carries himself well. Uh, he's always been, uh, good to this program. Good to be personally, even though when I was on the air and he was the chairman of the Madison County Commission up there in North Alabama. So he'll be with us, uh, tomorrow. Let's see a name text, okay, Jeff, your speaker you had on the show and others say we need to stop our government unnecessary spending. That was Gary Palmer. He's a Congressman. I believe we should stop all in this term spending and make our country people strong. But how any ideas voting don't, it doesn't work. Should we all come together and just stop paying taxes? I hear everybody's saying we need to stand up to our government, but no good ideas. I don't think we're standing up to our country as voters. I think there are people and enough people out there on name texture are okay with this, this system we have it. There are people who don't really think about it like you do. There are people who, you know, we're paying taxes. There are people who are net recipients from the federal government. And then right now it's just sort of this upside down system that there are people who are, they are, um, that there's more votes from the recipients. Yeah, everybody's vote is equal regardless of your, your wealth or whatever, right? But I mean, don't stand up to your government. You just have to convince these people at the very bottom that this isn't really that good of a way of a life. You may think that like, hey, your game in the system, and you're getting all these EBT benefits, but like, is this, is this really the best life? You're only on this planet once. And this is as good as you think it's going to get. You got your EBT card and you're able to go get like free pop tarts or whatever. Tax pay or subsidized pop tarts or whatever. I don't know what you can buy the EBT card. I used to, I used to work at a grocery store. You ever heard me talk about this? That was always the most depressing thing working at a job. Working the overnight shift that the old Bruno's at university and airport and the people with these EBT card. And I could, dude, I mean, like, sorry, I could barely afford baloney sandwiches. I was going to college, put money away to pay for classes. Mommy and daddy had cut me off long ago. And I was also doing much other things with work. And I, you know, like, it was no big deal. Like, I can, I can live off of Cheerios or whatever. And they would come in and they would have these government benefits. And you would just think like, man, this must be nice. But then you put in that time and then eventually things start going your way. If you put into work, I believe, and you put in an honest efforts. It's easier said than done, right? But you do the right things and you just finally get your life together and then things it'll pay off. And relying on the government is not like having your life together. So the Democrats are able to come into your portion of the electric on the texture, got a long way of putting this together for you. And they don't want this to change. So you got to, like, make the case of them like, this is a crappy way of life. You can do so much better. You'll need to depend on the government. I think this one conservatives kind of got to figure out how to work in their messaging. I'm not sure what the answer is. There's a lot of hopelessness out there. We'll be right back. This is a Jet Force show on the flip-talk photo 65. Welcome back to the Jet Force show on the flip-talk. What a 65. Thanks for hanging out with us on what's left of this Tuesday morning. 251340106 to be in touch with the show. All you got to do is text me if time permitting that last segment. We will get to some of those. Joining us now on the line is the chairman of our Republican party here in Alabama. Usually joining us about this time every Thursday. I mean, every Tuesday, we're appreciative of that. John Wall is on the line. Chairman Good morning, aren't you? I am doing well. Good to be on the show. Thanks for making time. Well, it's appreciated. We can get off here. I mean, these last few weeks, we've been using this segment to kind of play a play, play punditry, but I like looking at some of these swing states. I think the trend feels to me like the numbers even where Trump was down, but the move seems to be mostly not completely in his favor. I mean, this latest kind of spade of interviews that Harris has done in what she's she was on the view today. She did Colbert. She's about to be or she was on 60 minutes and then this stuff is really going well. And I know the media are kind of playing cheerleader or whatever. And it doesn't seem like there's panic in that sector, but it looks it has all the hallmarks of a pseudo panic. Look, it is a panic. Look, it's a full blown panic. The Democrats party, they've already removed one candidate because they lost, but they were going according to Donald Trump. And now we're watching as it's her honeymoon phase comes to an end. And the American voter are starting to realize who she actually is, her record. It's part of the current administration. And then her inability to really communicate the message that convinced the American public that she's not at fault is all starting to come unraveled right now. And you see that in her interviews. She looks clusters. She doesn't look like she has a vision. She doesn't look like she knows what's going to solve these problems that she herself helped create. And so I think you are, I think you're right. I think the media is panicking. I think you're seeing some over here. It's the campaign panicking. You're seeing the Democrat machine panicking because the bottom line is the numbers have not just faulted for her. There's actually reversal. They're starting to stabilize and they're starting to actually reverse and trend towards Donald Trump's direction. Especially in the key swing state like Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arizona. And so I don't know, I'm very cautiously optimistic. I think the American people are smarter than the nature media sometimes gives them credit for. And I think they understand that there's a lack of substance. You can say anything you want, but just because you can say it and because you have your own opinion doesn't make the fact. Well, yeah, I think you're absolutely right about that. I just tried to like track behavior and understand it. But back to the polls. And it's the one that's always stuck out to me chairman was Arizona. What do you think changed in Arizona? Why? Because this Trump has never trailed. That has been a blue state going back to, I guess, McCain and McCain won his home state, but it's trending blue. And it just all of a sudden trumps up big. I mean, I say what you want to about Kerry Lake. I don't think she has any sort of a coattails. She may be even be a drag somewhat. But that that is probably more emblematic of what's going on in the electorate than we realize. I would agree. And I think there's two things that really play a role in Arizona. The first is the economy. A lot of the heavy population around in and around the pink area, which is the vast majority of the population are retirees. And they they feel that the economy crunch. They're on fixed income. They know that food is more effective. They know it's hard to pay their rent. And they're feeling this. And they know that this is these are not young people who haven't who don't have a record. They know what a good economy looks like. And they know what a bad economy looks like. And they know when leadership is giving them a bad economy. And I think that's the big role here for the, for the, you know, those who are retired on fixed income. And then the other thing, if Arizona has a front row seat watching the disaster that the Molahirus has been on the 7th border. And she was put in charge of this on the board. You know, she would love to sweep that under the rug right now and ignore that and try to do a con job on the American people and say, Hey, I'm, you know, day one, I'm going to call this. Well, we tried to pass the bill and the Republicans refuse it wrong. She on day one took charge with the Biden administration of the border. And her first thing she did was reverse Donald Trump's policies that had slowed down the immigration. And we saw an immediate tractable in record increase. Now, the rest of the country can debate that. And it's easier to fool them. You're not going to fool Arizonians on the direct consequences of that. They saw it happen right before their eyes. And so I think those are the two biggest factors between Arizona. They have the front row seat on the 7th border. And they have, you know, the elderly and fixed incomes were feeling the economy more than more than some other people who may not, you know, California or other states may not be feeling it apart. Yeah, because the way it just feels to me, though, there's this doesn't have the same. Now, look, I, I came out of '08, even in 2012, thinking that Romney and McCain could pull it off. I was less optimistic about Trump at 16. And then in 2020, I didn't think it was possible at all, just given impeachment and COVID and the way Democrats are capitalizing on it. But, but it definitely, as Trump at the head, top of the ticket feels way more, there's way more like just emotionally reason to be optimistic this time around. It feels like a campaign. It's this, it's this chairman that I don't know if there'll be an October surprise. I think all this is baked in anyway, and there could be and no one's going to it's not going to have this, they're not going to have the blow that it had. But just the conditions on the ground and people are necessarily voting a personality, Trump or Harris, they are voting the status quo. And it's more, this election is more of a referendum on the status quo. No, that's right. Look, we all know it. It's not a surprise, the American school feel it. If we're on it about the situation, we know the economy is worse, we know the borders worse, we know our poor policy is worse. And parents, you know, younger voters, parents across this country know that their kids are being hopped into school if they don't agree with it. And I still think that's a golden issue that for some reason our conservative consultants, either perfectly or foolishly ignore it. It's stronger, it cool stronger than a board the abortion issue that the Democrats are trying to use. And we don't push it, and we allow them to be a lot of means for media not to push it. Look, we've had three to base now, two presidential and two, and then a vice presidential debate. Education and transgender issues have not been brought up in any of those states. And I think that is absolutely a right word for it, a tragedy, but it's also got to be intentional by the means to me if they don't want to talk about the issue because they know the Democrats don't just lose on it. They can't cut it. And I think that's why it's so important for our candidates for the Republican Party. And we need to get our consultants on board with this. We need to be talking about this issue. We need to bring it from the center because this is what actually, you know, we talk about getting parents on board. We talk about getting, you know, suburban moms, talk about what's happening to their children. That will get them excited. Here's here's something else and I don't run this by you, but like, look at our federal government, especially these high-profile circumstances. I mean, the federal government in a high-profile circumstance or a high-profile situation is probably not a good situation. It's responding to something, okay? And I say the Trump assassination attempts and the storm responses are like two, like things you expect your federal government to be on top of. This is not griping about like taxes or mail delivery or roads or whatever, but these are things that were unforeseen and you really need your federal government there. And then they've let people down. And I think people look at it and they say, well, what's going on? Like, why does our federal government keep letting us down over and over again? And either fairly or unfairly, and I think fairly personally, but that's on the ballot as well. Like you can't get your disaster response right, you're unable to protect the president of the United States out of former president of the United States, who's the Republican candidate. And if he gets shot, I mean, just think about what that would do to like the markets and the fear you would put in the country, like just how important it is that he may not like Donald Trump, but you need to beat him at the ballot box. I have something like that happen because there are unintended consequences. You may think, oh, your problems are solved. Some of these deranged left-wingers think, well, you just put a bullet in his head, and he's not a problem anymore. But that inspires other reactions. And I think most importantly, kind of throughout the economy, but that's why the federal government has to do its due diligence here. And, you know, in these, like I said, these high-profile circumstances, they're really letting the public down. And I think it's a reflection of the Biden administration. You look absolutely right. And not that we should ever get government to be efficient. That's why we as Republicans believe in small government. Let the free market work. Let the private sector work more because the government is always going to get efficient. They're always going to be slow. They're always going to be slow by nature. That being said, I'm going to, I like something that I think is very important for us to remember. There are priorities that the Biden administration does get done. Things like funding Ukraine, where every citizen you've given enough money to Ukraine, to give every citizen $6,500, while the response to our United States citizens in this disaster, from the storm in North Carolina and the sea, has been to give them 700 and a few dollars. Almost a tenth of what they've given Ukraine. Look at the immigration members. What they're giving free handouts from taxpayers. Now, the money doesn't grow on trees. This money is coming from somewhere. It's coming from the hardworking Americans who are going out there and earning a living by the Twitter, the browse. And then the government is taking that money from them. And they're giving it free to illegal immigrants who have never paid North systems. We don't belong here. We've broke the law to get here. And they're giving them handouts, free handouts from the tech. You can text your money. And then they have the nerve, the gall, to come back and say, "Oh, we don't have enough money in a FEMA account to help American citizens in a true and honest disaster who will literally watch their entire lives." You watch down screen. And I think this is a level, not just of incompetence. This is actually un-American. And it goes past incompetence, too, with long priorities. The Biden-Harris administration would rather prioritize illegal immigrants and other nations over United States citizens. And that's why, despite the mainstream media and state tech censorship going up for Donald Trump for 10 years, Donald Trump is going to win this election. Because the American people are looking for someone. They're looking for a person who's willing to be politically incorrect. And they're looking for a person who's willing to stand up. And you know what? I'm not ashamed to say it's time to put America first. And I think that's what this election is about. Well, something else, and you tell me this, this is where a lot of my friends in DC who do the prognostication game for a living who, you know, understand the betting markets and the polling data and what it really means. This is what they say. It's like, well, at the top of the ticket, it's very weak for Democrats. There's no question about it. I mean, they'll readily acknowledge that. But where Democrats are able to make up some of that ground, they think, is that they have a vastly superior ground game to Republicans. Now, this will show us quite the case right now. But that is like, that's their, that's their, no pun intended here. That's their Trump card. They got the play is that they're willing to do things. They have people who are on the ground. This is not a top down election. And if it were, I mean, they'd be in trouble because the top of the ticket's very, very weak. Well, look, and there's some truth to that because most Republican activists are working hard to put in the table for the family. And all they want from government is to be left alone. They want to, they want to apply it in peaceful life where they can, they can enjoy the fruits of their labor. Meanwhile, your Democrat activists are being paid not to work. And they have a lot more time on their hands. And I think there's definitely discrepancy there, but there's definitely more manpower for Democrats on the grassroots level because of that structure. And I think that's incredibly sad. But it's a situation that we do have to look at. We do have to realize. Yeah, well, I just, that's like, if we're going to like, after this election, immediately, Chairman, when you're sitting with your fellow chairman and other, like RNC types, like that's like catching up to the DNC. And I think there's a lot of like mismanagement there. I'm not saying that they are the role model, but they do something very, very, very well that Republicans need to catch up with them, right? And that's, that's got to be win or lose something. It's got to be worked out, right? No, absolutely. Look, I come from the grassroots side of the party. You know, here in Alabama, we're, we're very much grassroots oriented. We already have our first team headed over Georgia this week. You know, as soon as early voting started this week, we had our team headed over on Sunday. And we'll have Alabama volunteers on the ground in Georgia until election day because we believe and do want to probably believe in working hard and mobilize. And I think that this is something Republican parties have to learn. It's not about, it's, the Republican party is not a social club. It's a political organization that's designed to help our candidates get elected and to stand for our values. And I think that's absolutely something the Republic party is a whole. It's time we got more. And it's time we turn more back to grassroots. I'm a grassroots guy. I support a grassroots leadership with the R&T. And I think we're seeing that shift happen. I think the R&T is becoming much more effective. They're raising money better with this new agenda. And it's far, far, we're headed in the right direction, getting the R&T turned around. I think there's something else. There's something else we have to concentrate on for Republicans too. And that if we win, we're asking the American people for a chance. If we win the White House, we hold the House and if we get the Senate, we have got to have a backbone and actually follow through with what we have. Our elected officials have got to actually follow through and do what they promise they would do. That's not like we're just running on all of this that we've been talking about. It's that, well, it's like you keep telling us you're all going to do stuff and you got to actually do it. Then the checks sort of all of the fundraising and all of that stuff sort of takes care of itself. You're no longer just this all-bark but no buy, right? Well, that's one area the Democrats have figured out. When they get control, they actually have a backbone. They fight for their base. And they deliver and then their base is energized and it makes them more effective in the next election cycle. And Republicans, I don't know if they're trying to be nice, if they're trying to be different. I don't know what it is but our Republican elected officials, the time they listen to the people, got back to the platform. The values we represent, freedom, liberty, limited government, head spending, fiscal responsibility, all these family values protecting our children, all these core things. They need to not just talk it, they need to walk the walk. And if they do, and if they start delivering these wins, I think you'll see the base respond in future elections. Chair, we got to leave it there. Always appreciate your time on this program. We'll do it all again next week. I'll always the pleasure to be on the show. John Wall, I'm a Republican Party Chair, but there we'll be right back. This is FM Talk, 106-5. Hello, West Virgin, your gold miner, let me thank you for your time. You're working for the army, for living. Just to send it on down the line. This is for the one who drives the big red. The first thing I remember knowing was a lonesome whistle blowing, and the youngers dream of growing up to ride. Welcome back to the Chup Forest Show. What if I talk 106-5? Hey, just to go with us with what's left of this Tuesday morning. Come out tomorrow on the program once again. Congressman Dale Strong from the 5th Congressional District here in Alabama, and Joey Clark from News Talk 93-1. And he gets to be named later, probably a butcher or somebody. We got to get a butcher bond to ask him about, let's give him about Vanderbilt. That will be amusing. Real quick, they text are to stay. We're coming from a story about working at Bruno's. I didn't save it high school for about six months, but at Food Fair, it ain't while every taxpayer should have a tour duty on the first Saturday of month at one of those places. It'll change how you look at things. I'll see. I can't look at that. That's too long. Sounds like there are a lot of liberals and pharaoh from talking to others listening to you talk about AL.com cartoonist. I would think the liberals are not happy about their conservative neighbor, probably not. Jeff, just from Terry, do you realize first responders and those nasty government employees you rail about constantly? Not necessarily. They do sub some of those out by Terry.
