Jeff Poor Show - Thursday 10-10-24
can't do this for you. >> 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 Porschow. >> I don't think Hank does it this way. >> Good morning. Welcome to the Jeff Porschow and if you talk 106-5. Happy Thursday, Barney, to you. Thank you so much for being with us. We always appreciate you listening. Coming up on the program today, hearing about a half hour, she's getting ready to walk up out of the debate stage. AL.com. Well, you know my opinion on that outlet, but Carly Dobson will be with us. And we'll talk about debates. We'll talk about what's going on there. You want to stay tuned for that. Also, the program to the April Marie Fogel, as if you can't get enough of April Marie Fogel. She is our Thursday regular and well, it's booked in advance. So we'll, you'll get to hear more. Some of you like April Marie, some of you, I don't know. Maybe you don't. It doesn't matter. She's going to be on in the 10 o'clock hour and in the 11 o'clock hour. The guy who was running against Dobson earlier this year, but always been a good friend of the program, Dick Brubaker, former state senator from Montgomery, just get his thoughts on what's going on in the world. It's always good to get with our good buddy there. So that's coming up in the 11 o'clock hour. You want to be a touch once you get two, five, one, three, four, three, zero, one, zero, six. That is the, that is the text line. I got to respond to something. I see on the text line right away. I don't usually go to the text line in this first segment. I see a text from Ricky morning guys tell Jeff Poo, and he puts the poop emoji. Ricky is never wrong. Ricky, I'm still waiting to die from the COVID vaccine. Remember when you told me that that was my destiny? It's been four years now, Ricky. But Ricky, I'll pray for you. Anyway, two, five, one, three, four, three, zero, one, zero, six. It's, it's looks like around the clock sort of a hurricane news. Hurricane Milton now off in the Atlantic Ocean as it made its way through Florida overnight, watched a little bit. It was bad. And there's fatalities and a lot of loss of life there. But this isn't category five. Hurricane Katrina, is it? As far as I can tell, it's not. I mean, luckily, I guess it missed the big population centers. And CS the Keys probably a train wreck. But the way this thing was, the way this thing was headed, the way it looked at the time, I mean, the tight eye wall and, you know, and all of that, it did weaken as it approached land. So right now, it's just a lot of flooding, a lot of flash flooding. And hopefully the recovery effort goes as well as one can expect. So that's sort of up first. As you know, that's driving the new cycle this morning. Let's get into some politics real quick. You know, it continues to be this. The momentum is shifted back into Trump direction, especially at the battleground states. And internal, internal polling showing favor bill. I mean, showing a real, real problem for Kamala Harris. Now, look, I guess this could a news event could swing this the other way. And you always have to. You always have to. You can't underestimate Democrats quest for power. What they will do, what stops so I mean, this whole thing, Donald Trump's true social did out yesterday or this morning. Just absolutely dishonest, unethical, 60 minutes. Kamala Harris does an interview. She gives a rambling answer, and they go back and doctor it and change the answer out for her to make her look better. What's going on there with that? You can't hate the media enough, as they say. Everything is so. This is the dirtiest thing they're doing right now. And it's people like Alex Jones and other conspiracy theorists that are enabling this or making this possible. Sorry if I offend you if you're a big prison planet or whatever it is, but look. The government is not creating a hurricane. The government did not create Hurricane Milton or Hurricane Hilly. They don't have a hurricane making machine. Yet, this is sort of creeping into the mainstream. And here's what the left is doing, guys. This is what they're doing. They're conflating that. With anybody who criticizes the federal response under Joe Biden as one of the same. We can't trust these people, they're crazy. They think we made a hurricane with a big weather machine, so our hurricane response is just fine. Because, allegedly, we're all of the same. This is what happens when you guys do this. I know we got some listeners who really believe this, but it's absolutely crazy. You take away a free shadow goal because the Biden administration deserves criticism. Criticism is warranted here. They are not doing their job. They are not doing working to the best of their ability. And they should take a hit for it. They should be judging the court of public opinion at the time of an election, especially in Oakland. This is what I've been saying all along. As long as you can get those voters to the ballot box somehow, some way, God willing. Even though their lives are upside down, and I think a presidential election is probably not one of their top priorities right now. They would probably vote against the current president because of the -- Now, some of the communist in Asheville won't. Some of the marijuana farmers in Boone won't, but Wrestlewestern North Carolina is pretty conservative. And what matters is the local viewpoint there, because North Carolina, I guess, is in play. So, I just -- Well, let me just -- When you go down crazy path and you just believe that your federal government is capable of playing God when it can barely keep the lights on and pay its bills and then that gives those guys -- Kamala Harrison, those guys -- it undermines a genuine critique that they are doing a bad job. But you guys do you out there who believe in the big magic hurricane-making machine in Mexico. Well, let's see here. Oh, I will take Governor Aidsworth. This is -- Hurricane evacuation. I guess we haven't had one of these evacuations in a while. Well, it looks like a hurricane is bearing down on Mobile Mall and County. But those of you who have done it in the past, that is not a fun drive-up of about 65. They have the counterflow that they could turn on but they never turn it on. How many times have they ever used the counterflow? When I say counterflow, that meaning that they turn the interstate all lanes headed one direction north. And whenever it's brought up, "Oh, we don't want to do that." So Aidsworth's out there saying, "Look, it's time to think about this. Six lanes." I don't think they ought to talk about -- as it pertains to Ballwick County is what was -- once that toll road between Bucky's and 65 connected to 65 there on the back side of where they're putting the road on the backside. Because that -- growing up 59, I mean, yeah, it's four lanes. Kind of curvy road. I'd like to -- I think it's time to get that one back on the radar, even if it would be it told or not told. I remember the toll authority that, let's preside it over the bridge can now be -- now can preside over this toll road. Oh, you people out there that are like, "Oh, we don't need another toll road." But you don't have a toll road or no road at all. If you don't want to pay the toll, just take the other -- take the routes you're taking right now. I think for Sake Evacuation in Ballwick County, you've got to add -- anyway, so I talked about adding six lanes going north. And it's probably not realistic for the foreseeable future to think you're going to make it six lanes over the Mobile River Delta between the Creola and Stockton. But once those roads from Ballwick County start merging in, you've got to think six lanes north. It's probably appropriate. You can probably do the four lanes headed north from Mobile and then once you cross into Ballwick County on the other side of the Dolly Parton bridge, then you crank it up to six lanes. And the lane's always been explained to me. Some of the places you have to add a lane on the bridges, that becomes a little cost prohibitive, but otherwise, I mean, it's not really adding another lane is not that difficult. We went through this at -- when I was on the air at Huntsville with 565. So 565 is a spur that connects 65 to Huntsville. Huntsville is about 25 miles or so away from Interstate 65. Air-C65 goes through Mobile. It goes through Montgomery. It goes through Birmingham, but it does not go through Huntsville. It goes well to the west of it. So in the '80s, they built that or they started building the connector there. And with the growth of that city between Decatur and Huntsville, it was only four lanes. They were always -- were calling for the expanded to six lanes. They were saying, "Yeah, not director. John Cooper was always like dismissive of it. It's not going to happen any time soon." The Tommy Battle ran for Governor in 2018. He made it an issue. And boy, like he's -- he's on the stage for Governor Ivy and kind of calls are out in front of everybody up there at Huntsville. And he took some heat for it, but despite that, they got most of it done. And I think there's still a little bit left between the two to get done, but they got six lanes on that 25-mile stretch. It's going to take like these Ainsworth moments saying, "Hey, do you care about the lives of people on the Gulf Coast?" And if you look at 65 as an evacuation route, it's not just for Mobile and Molly County. They're going to add another million people on the Florida Gulf Coast, and they go straight north to Dallabab, and they're going to connect to 65 somewhere, at least half of them are. So something to think about. Anyway, we can talk about that other thing. So I got a whole list here.

And if I'm talking 106.5, thanks for staying with us. I, this Thursday morning, J.D. Crowe cartoon is exactly what I'm talking about here, sent to me by Sean. He has a little hurricane with a line of misinformation. And it's, it's exactly what the Democratic Party told him to do. This is, this is the talking point, okay guys? And Joe Biden laid it out for him, but this is what, this is how they are handling the storm because they know the federal government is terrible in these situations, Republican or Democrat in general. State governments are a little better or a lot better, I should say. But, but they know they got some problems here. They know they got a buffoon, an idealistic, ideological buffoon, a secretary of DHS who believes in open borders and doesn't really care about storm response at all. So they know they got problems. But what they're doing is they're taking legitimate criticism of their agencies and lumping it in with the cookiness of, hey, we make hurt, we generate hurricanes that the federal government does to impact elections. And you're taking what is a legitimate free shot on goal saying, hey, these guys suck just like the rest of them. Don't vote for Kamala Harris 'cause you'll get more Joe Biden and the federal government not functioning as it should because you've got a DHS secretary to start to figure out ways to open up every border, every port of entry in America. They're taking that off the table, but whenever you talk about your weathermaking machines, I'm telling you, this is what they're doing. And JD Crow is a loyal little trooper or the Democratic Party. Let's get to some text here, I got a few. dirt-digger Jeff is Auburn football as good as you are on politics, they would be number one in the nation. I'm probably more of a mid-major, I mean dirt-digger, I am not a, I would hope Auburn would be much better than I am. (laughing) Tim, Jeff, do you think me, Mark, you give the Santas a referee for his money on handling the storm, obviously. That is a smoking ingest, I think, Tim. Ah, little Michael. Told it, let the vacationers pay for it. I'm okay with, if you're referring to the, expanding the, or building this North Baltimore County extension of the beach express, get it to 65. I mean, you know, they do this in Florida in bunches of different places. There's a lot of toll roads in Florida, and it's not just the Florida Turnpike, it is, you know, a little back roads in Tallahassee, Florida are in Okaloosa County, a two-lane road. And you cut through some, there's not much there. But the voters rejected the toll authority for that at the time because Governor Ivey and goofball John Cooper botched the ITED bridge. They thought they could sell the rest of the state a six-dollar toll. It was idiotic. They just, it was, they acted recklessly with that. And cut off a bunch of other routes. And to try to sell you all the, I'm telling you, and this is why you guys are so against tolls and it's sending this part of the state back on some other levels, but they just out now lied to the rest of the state. You people in South Alabama just wanted your free bridge to the beach so you could go sip your little umbrella drinks and go, go fish for snapper or whatever. But they try to create that perception, the other perception was, well, there's a free route too, but like if you're driving to rush hour, you go through the middle of downtown Mobile, is that really free? It was, they, they, they, they, I was on the air at Huntsville. They talked to me like I had no idea about the geography of South Alabama. And it occurred to me at the time, like what a, what kind of like, why are you trying to snowdrop me here? And that's not, that's not good guys, 'cause you're, you're wrong. And that was the governor's office at the time. We'll be right back. This is, I've been talking about F-65. ♪ Yeah, yeah, yeah ♪ ♪ I thrown away the blues ♪ (upbeat music) ♪ We're caught in a trap ♪ ♪ I can't walk out ♪ ♪ We caught a lot of it too much baby ♪ ♪ Why can't you see ♪ What am I to the Chup4 show and I put talk 1065? Did you ever stay with us on this Thursday morning? Two, five, one, three, four, three, zero, one, zero, six. You wanna be in touch with the show? All you gotta do is text me, still to come on the program. About an hour from now, we'll hear from April, Lori Fogle, our Thursday regular, and then in that 11 o'clock hour, former state Senator Dick Brubaker who's back in his normal rotation, he'll join us as well, so please stay tuned for that. But joining us now on the line, I was excited to have her on and she's running in the second congressional district, what will be the second congressional district here in Alabama, but Carolyn Dobson joins us on the line. Carolyn, good morning, how are you? - Good morning, I'm doing great, how are you? - Do it well, do it well, thanks for making time for us. We always appreciate it. Well, give us an update how the campaign is going. We're within the month window, are you tired yet? - Well, as we were talking before we went on air, when you've got little kids, you're tired regardless of what you're doing. And so, I know when I was on maternity leave and not even back to work, I know I was really tired. So, I think tiredness is the permanent state of existence for any parent, but no, we're a month out, and honestly, I'm energized by all of the support that we have throughout the district. We have a message that's really resonating with people in large cities and small communities, people that have had enough of the last four years, and they don't want to send someone to Washington who's been part of the problem. And I say send someone to Washington, but my opponent lives in Washington. So, it's more like allowing him to remain and continue his Washington insider lifestyle at the expense of folks in this district. People want change. - Talk about that a little bit. Now, that was the knock on him during his primary with Anthony Daniels, but the allegation is that he doesn't live in the district, he lives in, I believe, Maryland, right? - Yeah, he has a million and a half dollar home, and but that's it, yeah. - Yeah, and that was realistic, but that is just like right outside of Washington, DC. Like, you cross the district are calling me a boundary, and then there it is, you're still inside the beltway, but I'm a little surprised more as I've been made out of that. - Yeah, no, I think, I mean, it's definitely, you know, indicative of kind of where his priorities are. He started leasing an apartment in the district two days before the filing deadline, but I think it shows that you've used this deed as, you know, the next step in his career path. He's had this entire adult career who's been outside the state of Alabama, mostly in DC, and for him, this is just the next step. Whereas, you know, we have a lot of families that are struggling in this district. They want someone to be their voice in DC. It's very important to me that if elected, you know, I'm living in Alabama, I'm raising my daughter here. Both of my kids were born in Alabama 'cause there's nowhere else on earth that I'd want to raise my family. And any minute that I'm not voting in DC or have have committee meetings or, you know, or hearings, I'm gonna be back in the district hearing from folks throughout the district because so much of this district is rural areas and small town. And those are people, you know, I mean, with all due respect to Mobile and Montgomery, there's so much going on there. And, you know, I've spent a lot of time in Mobile to try to get educated on all the opportunities and issues there are Mobile, but the cities have lobbyists. You know, Brenda, Alabama doesn't have a lobbyist Crawford, Alabama, Chatham. You've got to go there to figure out what's going on, what the needs are. And I think for too long, too many folks in this district and throughout America just feel like they haven't been heard. They're struggling and they don't have a voice. And I want to be that voice for them in Washington. - Well, you know, it seems like I've seen you everywhere. Now I say this all the time, I don't run in these circles, but I haven't seen as much of your opponent. Now he has a presence in Mobile and in Montgomery. I mean, how left do you run into him other than these debates because we, I mean, I'm out in this political world a lot and it's such a strange campaign, unlike any I've covered in the past and the state. - Well, you know, and I'm coming at this not being a politician. So for me, it is imperative that I get out throughout the district so that folks can know who I am and what I stand for. But just as importantly, so that I can hear from folks in every corner of this district. And so that's my strategy for lack of a better word, although I don't even speak in those terms because I'm not, I'm not some political animal. I'm just, you know, a working mom proud of Alabama and that wants better for the folks in this district. So, you know, I don't, you know, I don't run into him very often. But again, you know, he, he, being a DC entire being a creature of politics, you know, he may have some more developed strategy and he may be running analytics on where he should be. I'm just trying to be where I can meet as many people as I can. So that means, you know, going to fish rice, going to football game, going to county fairs, you know, trying to hear from it as many folks as I can. - Now, not to get too much away here. You got a debate and for whatever reason, ale.com, but you got a debate today, how do you feel about it? - Well, I'm excited for the opportunity to have a chance to discuss the issue. I think that certainly, you know, you said this is a very different race than it is because, you know, having a swing district, having a purple district here in Alabama means that, you know, we're talking about all the issues. You know, I think here, too, poor, where you had six solid Republican districts, a lot of the time, you know, a lot of the discussion was just amongst the Republican primary candidate. So that means you're talking about, you know, issues that Republican want to talk about. And in district seven, I've never lived in district seven, but I would imagine given that it's a blue district, but in the primary, you know, the discussion is amongst Democrats about issues that Democrats like to talk about. So I think this is really healthy to have these debates so that, you know, both of us have to talk about all of the issues that impact all of the voters in this district, so very grateful to ale.com for hosting it and making it glad for the opportunity to share my view on how I can make lives better about me and my family. - Enjoyed by Caroline Dobson. She's running for the congressional seat in the second congressional district as the Republican nominee. Let's back it up a little bit. 'Cause I think so much of what people will be voting on on November 5th is the status quo. But let's start with this. Your proposal with the Haitian resettlement or resettlement in general, I guess, is CHNV program, the Biden administration says they're rescinding, but it's this, Caroline, that they're resettling these refugees or whatever you want to call them. But did I really, did I be really being upfront with the local officials and that's creating a little frustration at the local level? I'm sure you're aware. - Oh, absolutely. Yes, there's no prior notification, no coordination or collaboration, really, you know, very little vetting process for the folks that are being resettled. But also, you know, when the administration just import a bunch of refugees in a community, you know, it puts those refugees at risk, too, because there's just the situation of distress, lack of information and communication. So it's harmful to everyone involved. And we're talking about the communities that are impacted, you know, whether it's a silicaga enterprise, Brinkville, Ohio, these are small towns that are already very strained for resources, especially given the rising inflation of this administration is put in place. And again, I think it's really indicative of just the lack of awareness of what life in small town in rural America is like. And that's one of the reasons I got in the race in the first place is because I think we have too many, you know, Washington quote unquote leaders, you have no concept of life in small town in America. Don't realize that economic policies, bad economic policies can hurt a city, but can really kill a town and just think that, oh, oh, this is less inhabited area, less people per square foot, less settled these refugees here without notifying a town, without, you know, seeing, you know, there may be some communities throughout this country that would, you know, that need workers, that would welcome those refugees that there should be no communication. And it really takes small towns, America, rural America, for, you know, take advantage of small town America and rural America. - Yeah, so, and like you see the town halls and you've seen where this is impacting places, well, and I guess this would be more of a question for Shabari Fingers, but he's not really talking about these things at all. I've heard Project 2025 and then you could address that if you want, I wouldn't blame you if you did. - The first time I heard about Project 2025 was actually when Shabari Fingers accused me of that being some mastermind in my campaign. I've never read it, you know, and I'm not accusing him of facing his campaign plan on a document generated by the Brookings Institute, you know, I think it's very like a DC insider to try to, you know, create some sort of fear-mongering based on a, I think tank document that I've never read, you know, so yeah, that seems to be a rallying cry. It just tells you how, how locked up he is with a radical far left, you know, clearly they're sending, they're emailing out these talking points to attack your opponent who's not even based on any sort of reality. - Also, like, intellectually flimsy, like you're not really running on something that's a pertinent, we're all on that topic, you're just manufacturing an issue to castigate your opponent with, and it's not really any, it's, let's find something we can demonize and we'll just attach it to our opponent. - Right, right, which I mean, I have learned that, and in the left uses this, every election cycle, you know, depending on different issues, but, you know, they're, when they can't stand on their policies, because their policies have objectively hurt the American economy, hurt American families, made our world less safe, then they're wholly reliant on fear to drive people to the polls. And so, you're exactly right, they, you know, if they can't, you know, stand on the issues that they can talk, fear. - Well, I just, I don't know that that works, I don't really understand it, but all it is is this, it's just, hey, let's dust off the pages of the Harris/Bidenplay book and see if that'll work in our district. And I mean, I'm gonna go out of limb here and venture a guess here, but I bet when you're standing there in front of the Rotary Club or wherever, they're not, hey, what do you think of Project 2025? - Yeah, no, I mean, to your point, I have not been asking about Project 2025, and again, the first time I actually heard of it was when I was accused of using it as a blueprint for my campaign. I mean, again, it just shows you that, you know, they're recycling these same talking points over and over again. I mean, the Harris website, campaign website, listed in policy statements from the Biden website, they don't have a plan, they don't have a solution because they created a problem. And now they're desperate to concoct things, to attack, you know, attack Republicans on. - Talking about this, I would think that your campaign, and you're not smoking about this in the past. No, I mean, it's really gotta probably, you're probably gonna have to some degree write Trump's coattails, and he gonna have to write Kamala's coattails, but if you do, again, since as you campaign in that district that Trump is as a following. - Yes, no, certainly. You know, and I think people are recognizing that our economy was a lot healthier under President Trump, and that the world was at peace under President Trump. And so, you know, again, certainly, you know, President Trump could be a polarizing figure, and, you know, he has a very strong personality. So, you know, that sometimes, perhaps, ostracizes the portion of the electorate, but when it comes down to it, we have to look at where we are today, compared to where we are four years ago. And I have yet to find somebody who says that we're better off now than we were four years ago. That's just the fact. - Let's move on. Last topic here, the hurricane response in other parts of the South. And because I, you know, these places aren't just like far away out West somewhere, but you watch this, and you look at Western North Carolina, you look at North Georgia, and it could have easily been North Alabama or, you know, someplace in Alabama, even in the second congressional district, just struggling with this sort of hurricane response. All this rain dumped on a locality in a short amount of time, and the federal government's response by many accounts has been pretty lackluster. Well, I mean, what do you think we got to do there? - Yeah, well, you know, we've got to focus on our own, focus on American citizens who are struggling right now. You know, in district two, we are a source of shelter for many folks that have evacuated from Nelson, and so anyone that happens to fall in that category, please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you for those who've offered their home to share with folks evacuating, thank you. But, you know, we have to take care of our own, and I think, you know, when we got to said, oh, we're not going to have enough money to make it through the hurricane season, it further put in stark relief just how we've been spending our money, how we've been spending taxpayer dollars, largely on non-tax payers, we know 1.4 billion on illegal aliens, which is just $157 billion to Lebanon, to fund the people that are attacking our ally Israel. You know, all of, we have to recognize that we have fine iron resources in this country, we're already $35 trillion in debt. Enough is enough, we've got to focus on spending less to bring down inflation, and what we do spend, it needs to be spent a lot more wisely and invested in American citizens. - Carole, last question, we'll get you out of here. Folks wanna get involved with your campaign, or they just wanna sign, or whatever it may be, how can they get in touch? - Yes, so please check out our website, dopsinforcongress.com, you can request a yard sign there, you can also volunteer to pull work, or if you want a doorknob, or phone bank, it all helps. And I'm so grateful for the support that we have for folks that have dedicated some of their value time to helping us, and we're really excited about pushing hard the last three and a half weeks. - Carole Dops, ladies and gentlemen, Carole, best of luck to you today. - Thanks, give my best to Senator Rubaker and April Murray. - Oh, he'll do. All right, guys, when we gotta get a break here, we'll be right back. This is the Jeff Porte Show at FITAC, 106.5. (upbeat music) Well, welcome back to the Jeff Porte Show at FITAC. 6.5, they stay with us on this Thursday morning, text line 2513430106. Still to come on to program April. Marie Fogel will be with us in about 45 minutes or so, so stay tuned for that also to program Dick Brubaker, former state senator there. I'll go to the text line. Let's see what we have here. Cut your flow, it makes inflow emergency vehicles and recovery crews a possible start evacuation sooner, but what, isn't there like another way to get down? Why didn't we even do that in the first place then? Built 65 that way would be my question. And I, no, that wasn't, I guess it wasn't that expensive or whatever, but what's the point of having something if you're never gonna use it? I'll see. Maas, the drive home is worse than the evacuation drive. That's how it always is on 65. Heading up, heading back, 'cause everybody goes back at the same time and people evacuated different times. And a little west Alabama corridor gonna save us all. We'll see if that works or not, but I'm very skeptical. I just, Azor's got a good issue here. It is, I think something that resonates with the entire state. That's always been the difficulty in Alabama, is finding the one thing that people can rally around, our focus on, that applies to the state of this entirety. I, at 65, I guess people in Aniston or Tuscaloosa, the shows in the Wiregrass, probably less worried about it or state 65, but at least it's not like, hey, we're gonna widen the port or whatever that may be. Ah, blah, blah, blah. Mike, I want to know which of the allied countries we send A to, but not one country has reached out to help the hurricane victims. They should have infuriated attacks, payer Americans. I don't know if Israel and Ukraine are sending hurricane aid to Western North Carolina or not, but we can check in on that. I suspect not. Let's get a break here. I'll be right back. This is FM Talk, 1.0.6.5. From Bucks Pocket to the shores of Orange Beach, at all points in between, an insider's perspective on Alabama politics. It's the Jeff Porshow. I don't think we ain't done it this way. Welcome back to the Jeff Porshow, to FM Talk, 1.0.6.5. Thank you for staying with us on this Thursday, but at 2513430106, hour number two begins right now. Ah, 3.4 million customers without power in Florida. There's flooding. It is the aftermath of Hurricane Milton, which now is swirling its way to the east out in the Atlantic Ocean. Still a lot of wind on the east coast of Florida, but the worst has passed. So hopefully people can get back under way here and get back to some sense of normalcy as the best they can, but we'll see the fallout as more and more reports come in. 2513430106 is the text on April. We've forget about a half hour and about an hour and a half. Of course, they said in their dick brew baker, we'll talk to him here in the 11 o'clock hour. What do we got here? What do we got here? I need a textured jump. This is currently adding lanes for the 15 miles on the west side of the state. It includes adding lanes to bridges that do it at a rapid pace. And no one's ever been able to explain this to me. Now, there's a lot of bad roads in Mississippi. They're not great at maintaining a lot of their roads. Why is Mississippi able to make these road improvements at a much, much over the last 20 years? It seems like almost every US highway is not adjacent to an interstate as four lanes in Mississippi. I-84, '98, '82, you hit that Mississippi state line 45. It's like the part of the Red Sea. Why is a state like Mississippi able to function and have these empty four lane highways in Alabama, isn't? Or there's a bigger population. There's more of a tax base in Alabama. What gives here, guys? Why are we so bad at this? And you always get like this frustration when these Alnot guys, and you ask them these questions and I don't have to explain this to you. You just don't understand your mind is too, you just don't understand how highway construction works. But why? Somebody tell me why. What are you policy makers out there? Why is Mississippi better at this in Alabama? I mean, you go at 45, I use 45, maybe once every couple of months. Usually if it's late at night and I'm coming back from Tuscaloosa, I'll go the old 45 way through Meridian. I went to Starkville, see an Auburn game, basketball game, that is. Went saw the baseball game or the softball game between the two state legislatures and Jackson. Mississippi roads are always really just easier, like cruise control. And somehow they're able to pull it off, but Alabama can't. Is it just that we have to pay Nick Saban more than that? The pay link, if I obviously a kid. They just get more federal money. Having had senior US senators. Why are we so bad at this? George is the same way. They made improvements and just. But somebody who travels a lot. Alabama feels like it's left behind. You go to Florida. Florida's been begging Alabama to widen roads for years. That service is kind of north south. Arteries for travel to and from the Florida Gulf Coast. But they don't want to put a bunch of investment into a four-lane highway that turns it back into two lanes for another 50 miles north of the state line. And Alabama just not willing to have this discussion. But we're getting that west to Alabama corridor, buddy. You know. Uh. Did you hear meteorologist Kamala telling the weather channel? They need to be careful with the language describing a hurricane. She needs to butt out. What if what a Donald Trump were like out there making comments about the hurricane? What Donald Trump opened up his resort property to South Florida for first responders. It's like me seeing but not heard. She is not a she's not an executive. At least the device presidential office is not an executive office. Okay. It serves some important purposes. But that's not one of them. Hi, Jeff. Regarding the current haste ratio discussion this week, I purposely drove to townhouse complex next to feral high school to check out the rumored patient documents at the entrance to the complex. I noticed a woman that was apparently not from here. She was on the phone pacing the mailbox is looking into one of the mailbox. Ask her she was from Haiti. And I read her lips and she replied, yes, waiting on a welfare check question. I don't know about that. Unverified. Before you start hitting me up saying that I'm spreading rumors about Haitians coming to Baldwin County. We don't know that. Uh, Matthew, Jeff, the time may be changing for this election. Talked to my 70 year old mom last night. She reached her voting for Biden in 2020. I asked her she was voting for Kamala. Mom said, hell no, I'm voting for Trump. This is from a lady who reliably is voting for Democrats her entire life. I cried with a bottle one in 2008. Thankfully, my mom is smart after us. Kamala is not a good option. Mom even asked me to pick her up a Trump yard side for her house. This has always been a knock on Kamala Harris. She's just not as well respected or well liked. Maybe in her own party. There's there's something that no one will explain it. The mainstream media is not interested in it because they got to they got to play team ball there. But she's got problems with their own party. And here's what I would caution people. People are like, well, look at these look at these disaffected Democrats. They're coming to the Republican party. There's there's a lot of like minority males who are moving from Democrat to Republican. I'm gonna tell you something though. This may be a personality thing and not a trend that there is something about her personality. There's something about her character that people reject in the Democratic party. I mean, I can't speak for that because I am not a Democrat and but I am telling you there is she just doesn't come off as authentic. She doesn't come off as like some high-minded intellectual. She doesn't. Maybe she checks the box, but and you want to see an African-American woman get in this high position of authority. But there's a lot of people who don't care about that stuff. Did they honestly believe there's virtue in Democratic party policies that there's virtue in these quasi-socialism ideas and they're voting for that reason? Or they tend to vote for that reason, but they're just like a lot of other Americans. They judge a book by its cover and they're judging this book by its cover and they don't like it. Tim, Jeff, I've often wondered why a fingers guy wants to ride it. The right of the co-tells of his father's mother always wanted to make my own way and do things. Seems like he's taking it very easy way out. I wouldn't say that. I think he has kind of a... Some of our figures certainly has a resume. He's had a career. He's been in Washington DC and I don't think more needs to be made of this. But he certainly has been around DC, around the federal government. Maybe some people would see as a qualification. Some people would see as a disqualification. Now during the primary Anthony Daniels, the House Minority Leader who was in a run-off with Mr. Figures made a big deal about. Some of our figures didn't really live in Alabama. He only got rid of the place right after the court decision came out with the new lines. And that he's actually a resident of Bethesda, Maryland. His wife has a business up there. Like they are... Their lives are in Maryland, not in Alabama. Does that matter to people? Maybe it should, but does it? Gene. Caroline is just another mediocre politician. What's her platform? What is this? What did you do? Did you... Gene, did you forget to use a Q-tip this morning or something? When we hit on immigration, on the economy we hit on... Hey, how about being in Alabama? Peacock, sorry. So sorry about the guy who wished you did. You got the jabber didn't get the job. That's one to make sure. And if you got the job, do you have any regrets? Who wished me did? Peacock, I'm gonna let that one sit there. Ah, name texture. I'm surprised. Neither candidate in AL2 are running negative ads. We're getting close, though. Ah, name texture. I thought they did open all lanes going north there and I am in either way. It took over nine hours to get from Orange Beach to Auburn. Alabama is just not equipped for a mass evacuation right now. If they had to, if they had to go door to door knocking on doors or mobile to get people to leave, in certain places, and involved with counting because it was that bad of a storm, they would do the infrastructure. You would have to be waiting out the storm somewhere before you got to Evergreen, probably, on 65. Can we even know it's going to be, you say the Mississippi Lottery funds their roads. I don't think that's true. Now, they may fund education and therefore, they don't have to spend as much taxpayer money on education, but I mean, you're talking. This lottery will not, especially in Alabama, will not generate that much revenue. Well, it'll generate enough revenue to pay for maybe one road project a year, maybe over 20 years, it adds up. That is never going to happen in the state community. That's going to be, and I don't know that you're making a case for Alabama Lottery, because the people empower the teachers unions, they will never let that money go to the general fund. It will always go to education. The teachers in this state are very powerful. They have a big, big say over what goes on in state government and how they appropriate money. Wow, they're showing pictures of the Trump and Canada. They're St. Petersburg. The roof came off. Anyway, back to what I was saying. So, we could do a lottery if you want, but that money's just going to go to more education. Spending. All right, we get about one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, more text, eight, more text to get to. We'll get to those. I'll try to get to those in the next segment. Stay tuned. This is F.M. Doc, one of six, five. Oh, I'm leaving on that midnight range of more. And I know just where I'm going. Welcome back to the Jeff before showed up and talk about those six, five. Thanks for staying with us on this Thursday morning. Once again, we're going to go through as many texts as possible here. Michael reason Mississippi is better at Rhodes is they making a priority. Number one and number two, they don't have John Cooper, me, Mal and the love gov. Yeah, I will. We've been sent back 20 years by the last two governors then. Now, didn't didn't Bentley get get corridor X done with 22 up in North Alabama. The interstate they've been building for 40 years. Billy had some some W's. Ivy, what's her bigger comp? What? Why did we get a remember K? Are we because they're never going to finish the West Alabama corridor? Okay. The next governor, whoever it is, is not going to complete that project. I'm going to tell you right now. Sorry show today up in Thomasville. It's just not happening. Okay. They'll get it'll be partially done. It'll be partially done for years and years and years because this this the people who run this state are not going to go along with a road that has no federal matching. They're just not. So they're going to they're going to decommission that you'll have a maybe you'll get the bypass around London done before Ivy leaves office at best. What is her big road accomplishment going to be buying the toll bridge that was already there? This third weird like orphaned oddball bridge over the canal. She got the I guess she got 2059 done through the middle of downtown Birmingham. I mean, you see where the you guys think it's just North Alabama that gets all of the it's not even that it's Birmingham. Birmingham runs this state. The people in those towers in downtown Birmingham, those businesses there are the ones who carry the most sway in Alabama. And that's why they built that 2059 connector between 65 and 280 31 and caraway there. Shut down the entire downtown. You had to go around it. It was an expensive project, but they got it done because Birmingham Birmingham has the stroke in Alabama. It's just what it is. It's not necessarily even anywhere but downtown Birmingham. It's not like any of the outlying neighborhoods. I mean, you look down South Alabama. We're going to fight over the I attend bridge for the next 20 years, I guess. How long did it take 98 to get done? Leo, come on, Jeff, all the states you mentioned have gambling of some sort of another way to help pay for roads. I just I reject that gambling is not a consistent funding source. And you guys think it's just this big enchilada, but it's not. And the people who are pushing gambling, Leo, you've been you, Leo, you have been misled. Leo, you are a victim of this. You may want the ability, the freedom to gamble. That's fine. That's a different argument. But the people who are out there creating this, jing up this idea that it's going to be this cash cow for the state are just people who will who will profit off of legalized gambling in Alabama. It is not the problem. Leo is such. Yes, Alabama doesn't have gambling and people are going other states to gamble and they're sending their money over there. But that's just it. They're getting money from Alabama to fund whatever it is or spending their gambling revenue on. It's not as if people from Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, Mississippi are going to come to Alabama to gamble. Firedog, why aren't I so bad in Alabama for $200, Alex? Answer. Who is John Cooper? Correct. And Cooper was like one of the very, very first Bentley hires when Bentley was governor-elect. When Riley was still in office, the first person he named was John Cooper, out director. Greg, I use that C-3 extension to Mississippi to go to Leaksville and then 45 to the state lights several times a year. We always use 63 instead of driving up a mobile to go 298 to see family in Jackson being on the western side of the state, but 45 through citradell is horrible. And I do the same thing. Instead of going 45 south a lot, I will take was it 57 and 63 to 98 come on in, but we can talk about that later. Well, very back. This is the Jet Force show. What if I'm talking about 065? Welcome back to the Jet Force show. What if I'm talking about 065? Thanks for being with us on this Thursday morning. Did Bruebanger coming up in about an hour or one of our regulars on the program. So stay tuned for that. But joining us now on the line, April, Marie, folks, April, April, we're a good morning. How are you? Good morning. I'm doing great. How are you? I am well. I am well. Let's kick it off here. You and I were talking off air about this. The and this is it makes my hair hurt every time I see something in my Twitter feed about the the the evil weather machine that Kamala Biden and Obama apparently sees a rise. Maybe we could throw it air colder and Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton are using to make tornadoes or hurricanes to to to impact red state voters. It is all of the conspiracy theories I'm aware of and all of the craziness I've seen. That's right up there, you know, Jewish space lasers like just stop. Do you not hear the words coming out of your own now? South it right now. There's there. This is this really undermined because there are a number of people on the bubble who don't like Trump one way or another, but they're going to vote for them. And these people are now going to sit at home questioning. Do I want to be with these people? Do I want to be on the side of these people? Well, what it's doing is obviously it's undermining the the intellectual heft of a Trump voter because this is what the left is going to do. They're going to see an Alex Jones 30 minute piece about controlling the weather and they're going to conflate that with every Republican. This is what they always do. This is what they did with January 6th. This is you're either with them or you're with us are they're going to they're going to go. I would be surprised if this isn't the question we see soon. You're going to start. You're going to start seeing Republicans go on the Sunday shows and it's they're going to have to disavow whether making machine by the Biden administration. This is what they're going to try to paint the right with. And I am I am I am tired of having to answer for other people's stupidity now. The left knows exactly what they're doing and they shouldn't do it, but they're going to do what they're going to do. Our side these to keep keep from giving them free shots on goal. Well, and that's just it. This is and things like this have come up and happened before. And the only way to beat it down is for every rational human being to go. The Democrats are trying to make this a thing. No one on my side thinks it's a thing. The fact doesn't matter. Nobody because what I'm seeing in my timeline is I'm seeing. Yeah, there are a couple of people who are like, well, what's happening here? Is there is there a machine or here's a patent office nonsense? And then the majority of people are like you and I going, cut this out. We don't want this. But either way, it's a story. We're talking about it. I'm seeing it repeatedly. And the Democrats are the only one to benefit from that. And no, there is no crazy weather machine out to get Florida right. I mean, like if the Democrats can control the weather, then why even bother with elections? Like they're God, essentially, like, and they can make a hurricane that make the hurricane strike like the Korean peninsula take out Pyongyang or something. I mean, the like instruments of God here, the last if you're if you're that all powerful, like super hero, supernatural, powerful to create a category five hurricane, then you know, wait, you're wasting your time with some some election. I mean, you already got world dominance on your side. Yeah, well, I would have absolutely agreed that you have the power to control the weather. And what are you doing? You're screwing with Sarasota, Florida. So you get that electoral college for that integral electoral college vote, right? I mean, I just you people are stupid to just stop with the weather stuff. Okay. I feel perfectly comfortable offending the one guy who goes, you know, that's not true. It's not true. An only idiot. You know, you know, you know who you know who are resident weather machine guy is here. Oh, no, you have one. You are you feel it on the station enough to know who he is. I'd have to be looking at talking, but whoever he is, you know, the one conspiracy monger to what conspiracy kook on the text line, 106 five's like favorite. Okay, well, I can't think in the name of hand, but I trust that you have one. You don't remember Ricky? No, I don't I don't remember all of those people. You were a lot of listeners and a lot of engagements. That matter. All right. Well, you'll also bonus points there. Yeah, I heard her make you on Monday, Monday, I was barely surviving. And we got a we got to work on that. We got to make sure we get that ironed out. But anyway, enough of that. So what you're doing is just sinister what the left is doing here and they're doing it and they're doing it was, I don't know if they're having any success at it, but this is the game plan. All right. Yeah, we are probably really bad at responding to hurricanes and we have a a goofball department of Homeland Security secretary who has an ideological viewpoint that we need to have no borders in this country. So rather than address that problem head on, we're just going to conflate people who criticize our response with the weather machine people and the weather machine people will represent all of the right and the wine mom in in in Ohio will see this and she'll say, I can't vote for that. I'm voting for Kamala Harris. Well, and by the way, it's not like when you are an administration running like this one is it seems to be something that they're like, well, we'll throw this and see if it's fixed. I mean, they're not having a lot of good things happen in this election cycle and coming off of all those terrible Kamala interviews and they could use a little distraction. Well, speaking of terrible Kamala Harris, have you seen the have you seen a 60 minutes clip of her answering your question about Netanyahu and it's her like usual vintage word salad response. And then when the time came time to post the interview online, 60 minutes edited her answer. So not only did I see it, Sean Sullivan and I stole it from you. I took it and I gave it to him and we talked about it on Tuesday because I was like, what in the world is this? And it was from your tweets. And they did they literally took and copy and pasted a different answer. It's not even like they took out just a gibberish from the one answer. They copy and be moved in answer. And how that is not again, I mean, it should be against every sort of journalism standard known demand. Also, that's campaigning for, right? If your soul intent is to make a candidate look better than they are, that's cute. That's what campaigns after that doesn't give me consultants do. That's not for 60 minutes. This is also like the same CBS news that fabricated documents during the 2004 election about George Bush's National Guard Service. The same program I might add 60 minutes with Dan rather at the time. This is what they do at CBS. It is here's what here's what needs to happen. Republicans need to stop dealing with these stupid media outlets because they are not your friends. They are working against you. They don't want you to get elected. They see the opportunity when you come on their show as an opportunity to end your candidacy, to end your campaign and win some kind of merit badge journalism or war from Pulitzer or whatever, because it's it's a left wing outlet. And then this is what you're doing. Republicans have to stop enabling these losers. Absolutely agree. I think that what we have and it's it's gotten worse. Like you think it couldn't get worse, but it does get worse. Every single election cycle, especially the presidential, and then on the local levels of law of local elections, they are all in for a candidate and they don't try to hide it anymore. I took journalism classes and I know that you were taught literally day one about the role of a journalist and you know, there's obviously a hard new place in an editorial place. But now everything has become editorial and even the editorialized comment, you know, areas, those have become just straight up propaganda. And it's absolutely wrong. What do you think modern academia, collegiate journalism is like with it? I mean, collegiate journals and professors are like now. I'll tell you, like when I was when I was a journalism student, now I got this is my second bachelor degree from South Alabama. I mean, they were Marxist. They were they they stood for all kinds of crazy things. I had like one like professor. She was like actively showing move on.org campaign ads in our classroom. It was during the Bush years and telling us that was like a nonpartisan thing. It doesn't really pick sides. And I was just like, holy cow, like these people, I can't imagine what it's like nowadays. Oh, you know, it must be impossible to find. And then there's got there's more than one area of study that's going to be like that, right? Like journalism, medicine, I am scared to death and this isn't a conspiracy theory, whether machine kind of things. But you look at the curriculum being taught to the medical students about why we need to be looking at race and color and sexual orientation and sexual gender identification. First, like this, we have an educational system that has been absolutely just poisoned by leftist minds. And they beat us to it. But before we realized what they were doing, making these little monsters, our age went through it. But now the kids there, it is tough. Which is why you see these ides which have lost their value. The world is waking up to the idea that college campuses everywhere are for indoctrination, not education. I still harbor sub ill will over that experience. So of academia and the politics and like for the left, especially these left wing professors, it's so personal for them, right? Oh, yeah. The left in general, it is very, very personal. And like, I tried not to make it personal, but when you make it personal at me, I make it personal back goes, I'm a petty, petty a person in general. But like, that's what they do. And you can't, they keep complaining about the vision in this country and whatever. I mean, I think the right, generally speaking, conservatives are as such like, they may kind of frown upon someone's liberal politics, but it's not the most important thing in their life, right? Like, you could go to church with a left winger, you could, but left wingers are not as, and this has been my personal experience. They're not as forgiving. Like, they don't, you can't, you can't be pro choice. I mean, you can't be pro life. And they look at as a character, stay in a character flaw, and it makes you like a too unwashed to associate with. Well, and it's a way they're taught, right? It's kind of like if you watch these, these kids on campuses, all with Israel and Palestine, is there, they are taught no room for, right? There is no room for Zionists. There are no room, we're not going to let you walk by the campus you pay tuition for. We're going to say, that's all of them. We're going to eat, there is zero tolerance, right? Diversity of mine. And that is what has come out of VEI training and all of these leftist ideals in the classroom. And so, all of their, and, you know, I think I've said this on air before, but prior to the school year, taking my boys back to school, I went and sat down with a head of school and the head of admissions at my kid's school. And I say, said, we're still doing all the VEI stuff. And I said, that's fine. As long as your diversity and inclusion includes diversity of thought and inclusion for Christians and for conservatives. And I, I did say, my children will not use day there for them pronouns or anyone, teachers, counselors, middle schoolers, it's not happening. Hey, tell me, did you see the beat down at Tumor's Corner? I did see that. And I more importantly saw the way speaking of journalists, it was misrepresented in the media repeatedly. The media made it sound like some dumb, Auburn frat boy Redneck went down to the Tumor's Corner to go beat up some, some of them Palestine lovers or something. And that's not at all what happened. And I mean, the college newspaper there did that. AL.com followed right along in their tracks. Oh, it didn't later that day. The video of it comes out as like, well, neither guy is going to win a Boy Scout of the Year award. But it wasn't why it was depicted there. And it wasn't just this, this harmless, little lovable pro Palestinian protesters with a little ceasefire. No, he, he went in and put graffiti anti Semitic graffiti on the entrance to main gate at Auburn University. And then had a little confrontation right after that. And what happened happened, I'm not making excuses for it, but it wasn't at all the way that they had to depicted it. No, again, it goes to show because who's writing at the Auburn placement? Where, where are we getting these these completely unbiased, you know, stories and headlines? It's coming from people who were taught. This is what journalism is. Journalism is no longer you're informing. Now you are, your goal is to make people think what you want to think happens, not to tell them what happened and let them be, you know, make up their own mind. Well, let's see what it is. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's people going into journals of now or dumb people who think they're smart. They don't realize they're not. I mean, maybe they could be, but, but some of it, you got to acquire this sort of, since of what's going on in the world. And they, they haven't fully developed that. They're, they're like 18, 19. And they just sort of believe whatever the culture is telling them to believe or, and it's, it's really doing a disservice to this country. But where you would hope that that would be rectified would be at the, you know, in the classroom. And not that you have to say, hey, you need to, you need to go right wing here, but like at least be open to the idea that they're, to be objective, you've got to at least be willing to acknowledge the other side has some merit. Well, and I think that that's one thing, you know, I went to public school growing up and then I went to Florida State. And, and one thing that was a side idea that you need to be able to argue both sides. When I first started lobbying at the Florida State Capitol, I had a great mentor who said, if you can't argue both points of whoever you're sitting in front of, if I'm lobbying you want to bill, I should be able to lobby why you choose before and against it, because you need both sides being able to argue honestly to make your, your argument in a way that's going to be compelling. And I don't think they learn that. I think they learn my way is the right way. They're way stupid and wrong. And they are stupid and wrong. And that's how I'm going to present every argument. That's how I'm going to present every piece, every newspaper piece or journalism piece that I do. And, and we all suffer for it. There's no, there's no debate where you are, you could get either side of an issue. There's no, you know, odyssey of the mind, you're thinking outside the box. No, this is all my way. Everyone else is wrong and stupid. April, Marie Fogel is gentlemen. April Marie, where can they find you online? Social media. I'm really active. They're these days on Twitter and Facebook, A. T. R. Y. O. M. A. R. E. All right. April, Marie Fogel, we got to get a break in here. We'll be right back this hill. Zephyrm Talk, one of six, five. Oh, much more than this. I did it my way. Yes, there were times. I'm sure you knew. Welcome back to the Jeff Moore show on FM Talk, one of six, five bat rights morning, Jeff. I'm not saying this is the whole reason. One of the things all those states you mentioned have advantage over us, they have some form of gaming slash lottery, which equals additional funding sources for a variety of things. Time for you and your buddy Chris Elliott to get on board, Matt. You people have no idea what you're talking about. It's not a stable funding mechanism at all. And here's the deal. You put this vice out there and you put the state of Alabama seal condoning it on it. It comes with societal costs. It comes with social costs. Who's going to pick up the tab for that? Who do you think is going to pay the bill for that? Do you think it's like, this isn't free money out of the sky. This isn't that at all. You have a homeless problem. Do you think it's a, well, why do you think Biloxi is trying to put its homeless people over here in Mobile? What does Biloxi have a homeless problem for? I mean, have you ever spent any time out there on the beach there? The man made beach in Biloxi? Have you seen the homeless encampments? Is that what you want? Is that what you want here as long as we get our new science lab at whatever XYZ public school? So there's two things here. So don't tell me this. Gambling is the people who are getting rich off a gambling. It isn't the taxpayers. The people are pushing that are people who are going to run these casinos, who do business with the state when it comes to a lottery. That is, it is not what you guys think it is. Or maybe you don't even think it's that. You just want to gamble. Okay. If you want to gamble, if you want the freedom to gamble, that's an entirely different discussion than this. Hey, we need a lottery so we can have more money to give the government because government does so so well using our tax dollars now. Let's give them some more money. Yeah, two, five, one, three, four, three, zero, one, zero, six, we'll be right back. This is the Jeff Moore Show at FM Talks one of 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 Moore Show. Welcome back to the Jeff Moore Show and FM Talk one of six, five, our number three begins right now. Two, five, one, three, four, three, zero, one, zero, six, you need to be a touch with the show. All you got to do is text me and I will probably yell at you because you want gambling. And I think gambling is a dumb idea. And it's not what you think it is. Go go look at Florida guys. My wife's very involved in the political escape in Florida. But what I kind of know, they have casino gaming. The Seminole Indians do the casino. They run this show there. Is that what you want? You're never going to get this just like pure idealistic free market gambling in Alabama. It's going to be state, state, sanction. It's going to be state controlled. You're going to have gambling barons and they're going to they're going to use pass throughs to pedal influence and Montgomery as if we need more of that. Now the big mules in Alabama don't want another big mule. They don't want another power broker. They don't want Paul Hubbard 2.0. They don't want the poorest Greek Indians to be coming. What the AEA was in the 1980s. There's a lot of weird internal politics going on there. But this gambling stuff is bad. These guys, they don't care about raising money for the government. They care about a way to make money. It's capitalism. But it's state, state, sanction capitalism. And that's what you're for. That's what you take is going to rescue the state and then you're not conservative. Okay. King of all Indian textures, figures add with him and the average couple by his side is better than Dobson's dad with her reading the letter from Governor B ball, though. L.J. Jeff, I've lived in Mississippi in the 80s and in 1960 passing gas tax can only be used for four lane initiative. I believe it took 15 years to four lane to major highways. Damn, you're correct. Teachers have a lot of state with the tax dollars. So that is the problem. I'm going to education and state level. I can assure you that the competence at that level is in lockstep with the competence of the federal government. Yeah. Well, it's this idea that you think if you get a lottery, you're going to get to spend it on anything but education. They're not going to allow that. There's just too much too much influence to be pedaled around those hallways. You have a lot of former school teachers. They may not be back, but the AA is still very, very, very strong. Your friendly neighborhood banker. I thought this was the simple reason Mississippi was able to build better roads is because they have a lot of risk. It's not true. Larry, I will always remember Meemaw for her high step in turkeys. Tim K will be remembered for the gas tax. You think so? I, I, if governor, I was remembered for the tax lab, I mean the gas tax, the, the, the gas tax. Well, I didn't see face any repercussions for it in 22. Voters did not, that did not show up on the radar at all. Tim, it just didn't. No one, no one was talking about that. I mean, she won pretty solidly. And a lot of money was spent against her, probably more money than was spent against her, maybe not necessarily used in the smartest way, but there were good intentions there with Lindy Blanchard and Ambassador Blanchard. Pat Trump is Trump. I mean, Pat says if Trump gets his way and actually makes the schools state reliant, I bet you'll want that gambling money then. It could be that's one of the, I wasn't making an argument as simple as to answer your question. This is where they allocate the lettering proceeds. The first $80 million of proceeds go to roads and highways and bridges. That from community notes want to be. I don't know that. I've always told that's that was a, a, a, a, I don't know Mississippi. Maybe I need to look into it, but the gambling, they do. Well, I'll just tell you this, to me does want to be that's never going to happen in Alabama. They're not going to allow a dime of money to go to the general fund and they could help it in. They might allow sports gambling money, but it's just not not money there and that. The only thing more stupid is you're taking radio type talking about this. Well, you, you can turn it off if you don't like it. This is the Jeff Porsche. I, for whatever reason, the management of this radio station said, Hey, would you like a radio show? And I said, sure. And I said, are you sure about that? It isn't? Yeah, we can make it work. And I get to dictate what the topics are. I was like, you want me to dictate what the topics are? I was like, yeah. And I could spend time on whatever I want. When you get the unnamed texture show, we'll, we'll, we'll see what we can do there. In the meantime, just turn it off if you don't like it. Uh, Mike, this is shot is the one. Speaking of people who wrote this station, shot is the one controlling the weather, but it's not for the election. It's more sinister. He's trying to affect the teal migration. So he could kill more ducks to feed the Haitians, be at house at the grand in the spa house. I knew he was up to something. I think he's filling in right now somewhere. I T. Jesus dibs were just trying to make cats and dogs for the Venezuelan. So they got something to eat. Make it rain cats and dogs. Gene, having a blast. Having you agree with me about how like some of your listeners are. Uh, Gene. Gene or you a gambler? Fire dog. The weather machine is designed to suppress the Republican voters in Florida and North Carolina. That's that way when Trump wins, the electoral college will lose his popular vote. The left will ride over the wind. James will be out in the streets of the side over his head, screaming about the end of the world dogs and cats living together. Mass hysteria. Fisher River, Frank, blood into water. They smell the blood in the water. They think victory is in hand. Ricky. Ricky sending me, uh, a bunch of screenshots about weather machines. Martin, I think the most of the party's device of this is from left of center group that keeps getting more and more wacky. They're not going to be able to keep it together. They had to do this guys. I'm convinced of this. This is where I think this presidential election, why we are where we are. They wanted, they wanted Joe Biden, just, just Joe Biden in their eyes. He wasn't necessarily thinking about Joe Biden. He was a guy they knew they could control, but he was also a guy they knew that could probably win. He just kind of, we could pass him off as presidential. When it became a parent, they weren't going to be able to do that. They needed a play in B. This, this, this was long, wrong before that June debate. This was like probably 20, 23 sometime, but they weren't sure who could win a Democrat primary. They thought, well, we put Peter Buttigieg up. I keep probably Peter, but, uh, they put him on the ticket. He might win. Well, he's not really going to win a general election. They don't trust your own voters in the Democratic party, but they had to go about it as such. And they knew it. They, they lifted up to the whims of the, Democratic voters that they would get a Bernie Sanders type candidate in the state age, and they wouldn't get Kamala Harris who they wanted. She went some states and had to spend a lot of money. It would be a contested primary. They didn't want to spend that money in a contested primary. They wanted to spend it on the general election. That's why the Democrats have a, an advantage over Trump. They didn't have to really have a primary. And that's what happened. They, they just by, you know, Democratic party, institutional fiat, they said, well, he's our nominee anymore. We're going to make her nominee. They go through the convention. They make some threatening phone calls. They say, Hey, you're going to vote this way. You're going to do this. And so be it. Jerry Hill, I was happy to think of one of those University of West Georgia students kicked the hell out of one of the terrorists. Jeff, why do you feel the need to talk down to people and calling them stupid? You tell them anything because they don't agree with your, it's not just a view. Thinking that the government controls the weather is stupid. I'm sorry. I've talked it down to you. I don't know what else to do. You're, you're, you're, your beliefs are not based. You have no kind of grounding in faith. And you're willing to believe this. That's a stupid thing to do. Because you're, you're derailing a legitimate criticism, a, a very legitimate criticism, something that ought to be disqualifying for a federal officials, how, who he has in charge of department of Homeland Security, a charge of the secret service, a charge of FEMA, and a disaster relief response. And you're giving the democratic party, the democrat machine, the media, an opportunity to conflate whether machine hijinks with government incompetence. And this is Biden goes out in front of the cabbage yesterday. It says, it's unamerican to criticize the government. And he'll point to Jewish space lasers or whatever. It's stupid. I'm going to talk down to you. Just don't do it. I draw the light somewhere. Sorry. Yeah, judges look at ABC board. I'll be gambling would fall under the ABC board. Well, I'll tell you what else though gambling. Look at what a good job the state's doing with medical marijuana. This is Harry. Come on guys. Let's look at all this gambling too. Meemaw was the perfect puppet for the ones who are running this damn state. That's probably true. Buddy. So they were casinos of Mississippi good for education there. Their school is now right higher than Alabama. But, but, buddy, I keep getting back to this. Do you trust the people in charge of Alabama? You want to give them more money? Do you do you think that's going to be the answer to your problems? Squirrel, so Ricky's messages get read, but I'm shadow banned. Fire dog. Wait, did you have more of their squirrel? Well, squirrel, here's what happens. I didn't ban you. You tweets. You text me so much that when you send a text, it moves you to the back of the line. The understanding, so the way the text, the text machine, if you will, works is it lines them up. And I try to start at the bottom because if you text it early in the program, you were first out of the gate. Well, then you get read first. And then every time you text me and you text me like one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight times during this program, it moves you to the back of the line. Ivy can be a member for the girl. That girl dressing is her Halloween, especially the governor, obviously wish her a Chick-fil-A in her town. I don't know if I'm going to read all these, but you get tired to squirrel. If you want me to read your text, wait till I read your text, then send another one. Don't send me a bunch about Emperor Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. Uh, fire dog, where are we on the AEM Ricky show that shot made an offer yet. I can do fire dog conspiracy hour, maybe the fire dog and Ricky show. I see potential here for Air Force Intel officer fire dog and wiki Ricky for the yeah, little shot handle that one. And a texture say stupid is ignorance on your part. The UAE has been controlling the weather for years. Perhaps you're a stupid one. You really think, you really think that the federal government's creating hurricanes? You're stupid. Stop saying that. Why are you doing that? Stop. It's stupid. We'll be right back. This is the Jet Force show on FM Talk 10065.

They should stay with us on this Thursday morning right now on CNN, Inside Politics and Data Bash, who is a Data Bash. Well, you don't need to know any more than that. Well, Trump makes more false claims about Harrison Hurricane response. And I haven't muted, but I'm going to go out on the limb here and say they're probably talking about weather machines. And they're saying, well, there's people saying there's weather machines that create hurricanes. Oh, by the way, did you know Trump is making statements that the response by Joe Biden is bad. Therefore, you should vote for Joe Biden or Kamala Harris or whoever the hell they have on the Democratic side. A lot of unnamed textures. I think, I think the either I'm getting a bunch of burner phones here texting into the show about weather machines. Uh, oh, and back to the UAE thing controlling the weather. They're not making category five hurricanes, okay? dirt digger. The government can't control the weather, but the Democrats are trying to control the way the people take from the ones that work and give it to the left opids. You talk down to people, but that's why you don't take calls because you don't like pushback. Well, if I didn't like pushback, I wouldn't reach a stupid text and it is stupid on the air. No, I have there's other reasons, logistical reasons for not taking your call and probably listening to you struggle with your ability to construct a coherent sentence. And a text here to vaccines or poison was stupid too. How did that turn out? You certainly are arrogant and obnoxious today. This is just an apples and oranges thing. I could see it a vaccine being created by a pharmaceutical company, but you're telling me that a a hurricane could be manufactured by the government. My crazy here, but only one who thinks it's insane to suggest that our federal government that can't keep the lights on. They can barely deliver the damn mail can create a category five hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico. What is wrong with you people? Have you ever been around a civil servant? Uh, hey, Jeff, it's because of Marjorie Taylor Greene. So the Trump jr, she says none of your than a fruitcake shut her down and a lot of this crap will go away. Oh, the texture scares me out of the PG can double down on her conspiracy theory about the weather and at the same time be so revered and beloved by a lot of conservatives out there. She's just turning hurting the cause. Well, I mean, I admire her because she'll speak up a lot of times when a lot of people won't. But this weather stuff is don't do that. Maybe that Jeff, this is how we have become as a human race to believe that the government can create a hurricane is the dumbest thing I've heard since the latest last dumbest thing I heard about an hour ago. Keep up to good work. More BS from the less imagination. If you don't agree with me, you're stupid. Sounds like a lefty loon talking. I know that you if you think the government, this is nothing to do with agreeing with me. If you think the government could create a hurricane, you're stupid. Start that if it's you. You just don't have a grasp for reality. I'll pray for you. I feel pity on you. Uh, Ricky, Jeff says, Jeff, you're wrong. If you look online, you can see for yourself, Jeff, they're tricky. There's a lot of things online. We don't have a talk about this sometime. Jeff, I do appreciate that you call stupid stupid. I'm sorry. I mean, what would you prefer? Is it stupid to harsh? Should I be more sensitive? Should I, should I call you challenged? Should I call you special? What should I call you if you believe that the federal government can create a hurricane and will use that hurricane and gets its own people? What, what should I call you? What would be appropriate? What do you think is is a nice way of saying that you're stupid? I need texture. Jeff, climate change is a natural process to government cannot control the weather. I don't think I'm alone here. Maybe I'm ostracizing a portion of my listenership that believes this stuff. I can't, I can't deal with that. Sorry, we'll be right back. This is the Jeff Moore show what I'm talking about, those six, five you big talking man. And I'll be waiting in Jackson behind my J-Pand plan. You come again. Test what I'm about to make it work without you. You're looking to my eyes and lie those pretty nights. I'm pretty soon. I'm wondering how I came to a dark youth. Are you gonna do it? Welcome back to the Jeff Moore show what if I'm talking. One of those six, five. Thanks for hanging out on this. What's left to this Thursday morning. Something I failed to do in the last segment I'm supposed to, but I was too, too, too wound up on hurricane machines. Coming up tomorrow, Todd Stacey, Alabama Daily News, Todd, Chris Elliott, our returning champion and a guest to be named later. Joining us now, always a pleasure to bring on former state senator Dick Brubaker, senator. Good morning. How you been? Good morning. Good morning. Been down at the FBI building during this hurricane. Trying to get a little further north, you know. No, stop it. No, we're not doing that. I am just shocked and appalled that people believe that. I mean, that's that's worse than like like 1984 at Georgia Orwell, where they, you know, this is like a destructive act of God that people believe that our federal government is capable of using against its own people. That's insanity. Well, that goes from watching the movie be 300 times in a row. And it, but you know, I have met plenty of people who believe that, you know, the moonshots were all faked. But then they'll look you right in the eye and tell you that pro wrestling is real, but we never went to the moon. But here's the thing. Does anybody believe that the federal government is capable of keeping a secret? You'd have hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people who would have to know if they were steering hurricanes or if they were making moonland. But somehow another, if you made a secret all, you know, all this time. I mean, come on, y'all. Well, I mean, and I never really was necessarily a believer of this. But what made me like very strident in this opinion is I've been around civil servants. I know them. I used to go like, we should go hit the bars and DC. They're not, they're not really capable, motivated, ambitious people, ambitious enough to create a hurricane machine and fire them off at places in the United States. I mean, they're just the government is very, very average. And you don't, you know, you don't really climb the ladder in the federal government. Well, you know, I just think you're, you're caring. I think people confuse. Yes, the government is corrupt in many ways. But there are people who are benefiting from that corruption. The idea, though, that the federal government in a steer hurricane and they say you are deliberately putting a hurricane on top of Asheville, North Carolina, because they want to my lithium in the Appalachians. There was read a long Twitter feed yesterday. Excuse me, X feed yesterday about a guy who was just convinced that this is all about lithium mining in North Carolina. And I don't know why they think the federal government would want to wipe out pamphlet. But, you know, it's just not, I mean, come on, y'all. It's like, uh, it's almost as crazy as the fact that, uh, people would identify as, uh, conservatives, only about four and 10 of them actually bothered to go vote. Yeah, I mean, somebody believe in her case and not both. Well, they just, they don't think it matters anyway, that the, um, that the, I guess the powers that be already know the outcome. And here's the problem. And here's where it really bothers me. You're, you're giving your government, like this, this, this deity status. And I mean, it's almost like a, a false idol, right? Absolutely. And we're not, we're not supposed to do that. If you're a believer, that, that's taboo. And when you, when you go down that path and you believe that the federal government can, and I think a hurricane is an act of God. Okay. Uh, maybe you could sow the clouds that create a rainstorm or make it snow or whatever, like they do at ski resorts, but creating a hurricane is an act of God. And if you're going to sign that kind of God-like ability to the government, then then that's, that's a sin. And I mean, I, I mean, number one is not, not only is it crazy to believe that they have that kind of capability, but it's also, it's also very taboo. What's also a way of creating boogie, man? I mean, the people that it's all right to hate and all that. That's really an encryption when you start hating people. But, uh, if you look at, uh, one of the things that Adolf Hitler did in the twenties and thirties was he assigned to one group of people, the Jewish people in Germany, that all of us, he convinced people that they had the power to, um, to do anything, including start world war one, and then he can't really make Germany lose it. And by pushing that good fear, he made it all right for German to hate Jewish people. And if it's all right, they hate them, it's all right to burn their books. And if you can burn their books, you can burn their bodies. I mean, the whole thing started with, uh, a conspiracy line that people shouldn't know about, but they didn't. And with social media and with the corruption of the new sources, the, uh, may, may line new sources in this country, people don't know what to believe. And unfortunately, there's a certain group about people out there who begin to believe everything provided that's bad. Well, I think people have a hard time understanding the complex, uh, hurricane and all of the, all of the issues that come along with it. It's a very complex thing. It's very scientific. Let's boil it down to something that is understandable and then they invent things. So like, why would we have a hurricane in the middle of an election season? Oh, you know, maybe, maybe the government is behind it or whatever. And I, you know, I, I'll pray for these people or whatever, but I, I just, what they're doing, Senator, is this, and this is what the Biden administration's doing. It's attacking. They're conflating honest, valid criticism of their hurricane response of their lackluster hurricane response with the weathermaking machine, the hurricane making machine. And it's undermining this argument that, hey, maybe it's time for a change to very top because you do have indeed an incompetent federal government. Well, we definitely have an incompetent government and the secret to getting rid of those incompetence is for people that understand the situation this country's in is to quit talking about it and go vote. You know, if, if we could just get people that identify as conservatives, if we could just get them to the polls, we, you know, we wouldn't even be talking about this stuff. But the reason, uh, conservative, when the vast majority of Americans, if you interview one by one, it was their African American, Hispanic, white, they had the same basic core values. But it is the, when it comes to who actually goes to the polls and both, you know, those people just do not, uh, you know, if we get half of them to the polls, we've had our ourselves on the back and think we've done well. A 50% voter turnout is horrible. People got to care about their democracy or stop working. Well, and you can't just say, well, they're going to rig it anyway. I'm going to stay home. I hear that a lot. Like, I don't, I'm not even going to bother to vote. I'm just going to text into the Jeff pore show and blame hurricane machines. All right. I'm not even going to bother. Uh, that, that's sort of, sort of what Republicans got to deal with to some degree. Like, look, um, yeah, about the hurricane making machines not true, but it's also true, you know, like participating in the civic process is very important. Well, we have become used to letting people get away with drawing of, you know, false dichotomy, like people who say the reason we can't get hurricane relief to people is because we're spending money on you. You know, this is just not true. If the federal government wanted to get FEMA enormous resources, they could. And they proved that by sending, like, $36 billion fund budget, money to Ukraine. I mean, the money that the federal government wants to put money in a certain area, they can do it. But for whatever reason, uh, and I, I'm like you, I put it down to laziness and incompetence. Uh, they just did it for pain. And every, you know, apparently it was common knowledge on Capitol Hill that FEMA had spent the majority of their money, uh, how the undocumented illegal immigrants or immigrants who are here on probation is the Biden administration like today. Uh, but nobody going into hurricane season thought it was important enough to give FEMA to replace that money to help actual hurricane victims, which is what FEMA is for emergency management and, uh, you know, but that's incompetent, that conspiracy. Yeah. And that's why you vote these guys out of office. Rejoyed by former state Senator Dick Bruebaker. I want to ask you, Al too, I give you your honest opinion here. Do you still believe it's winnable for Carolyn Dobson? Right. You know, I don't want to look what is fine. What I'm about to say next, you know, he's just an excuse not to go vote. I think that the district was drawn to elect the Democrats and for a Republican, any Republican, uh, to win that district is an uphill climb anyway. Now the Democrats, when they, I don't know how I think Kamala Harris is going to get beat in the national elections. But one thing the polls do show is that Shimari figures went from plus three to plus nine the day they got Biden off the ticket. That makes it a lot harder, I think. It makes it a whole lot harder because it has ensued, it has sort of reignited voter enthusiasm among Democrats in a L2. And I don't know if that, I hope that doesn't apply to every competitive race in the United States, but it certainly seems to apply to Alabama too. I mean, you can look at the polls before the Democratic national convention and the polls taken right after. And Shimari figures went from, you know, went from a battleground, uh, toss up district to, well, frankly, to, to blue. And, uh, that doesn't mean this. That said, if all of our people go vote, Carolyn Dobson will be the Congress and, you know, I don't like her. I don't like the campaign. She's wearing against me, but she would be a lot better than Shimari. And I'm going to go vote for her. Well, I tell you what, though, in the region, I'm, I'm, I'm at least optimistic for her. And this is important when, when, when, when, when Jerry Carl Barrymore had, had their primary and, and that was very contentious. The polls gave like Jerry Carl a very sizable lead. I think a lot of voters who are likely Trump voters who are likely by extension, Carolyn Dobson voters are, aren't getting, it's, it's, this is a new congressional district. It's hard to model. It's hard to do a poll. And I mean, there were polls out there. Senator, uh, on the day of that election day before that we're saying plus eight, Jerry Carl and Barry Moore pulls it off in big, big numbers in some of those rural counties. And now you have to add up a lot of rural counties to get enough votes to overcome mobile in Baldwin County, but he pulled it off. And it may make you think there's at least that I could see that path working for her and at least working for her to win this race. Hey, look, I hope it does. But what are the things that disappointed is the number of business groups, whether it's the mobile chamber of commerce. Uh, the last I heard they haven't endorsed in that race. The mayor of Mobile has endorsed in that race. And you know, people that claim to be conservative. And if you pulled a mobile chamber crowd aside, you're concerned. Oh, yes. Well, even a, are you going to endorse a L2? Oh, no. Well, they're heads. They're hedging, right? Yeah. And that is the sort of thing that gets good candidate beat. They don't want to go out too far on a limb and get in trouble with, uh, the, you know, endorsing the other guy or the other gal in this case. And then that come back to haunt him later on. But here's the thing. You can't, uh, even if you back in Canada, that it doesn't win, and the congressional for congressional Canada, he is not, they can't afford to not do a good job representing big municipality. I mean, I don't believe for a second that, uh, yeah, Barry Moore's got a lot of reasons to be irritated with, uh, the mobile political establishment. I mean, but do you really believe that Barry Moore who loves this day has spent his adult life in public service is going to start taking actions in congress that are detrimental to mobile. You really think he's going to, I mean, do people really believe he's going to kill the, uh, projects, uh, wide ship town? And I mean, I just don't buy that. Well, if you want, I'm sorry, go ahead. I want to make a prediction here. And I, I think this will happen. I think the law, the longer, let's assume that these lines stay the way they are. They very could be changed, uh, by the spring port, but they stay the way they do for the next, until the next reapportionment. I think Barry Moore is just going to become increasingly popular in this part in, in this listing area. And, and I, I don't think he's going to be touchable in a Republican primary at least. Well, but the reason for that is he does a good job on constituent affairs. He is not one of the incompetent do not. He's one of the most effective congressmen in Washington. I mean, he is doing his job. He's actually working every day trying to benefit people in his district. And that's what we need. We have, um, let's just say we, there are a lot of people in Congress who, if they've been elected for seven terms, their biggest accomplishments being reelected six times. They can't point to anything they've actually done it. Yeah. Well, I agree with that. Hey, I said we're out of time, but, uh, thank you for indulging me on my, uh, my g-hot against hurricane machines, uh, they're on the same vote Republican district. All right. Dick Brubaker, ladies and gentlemen, we'll be right back. This is the Jeff Porte show on effid talk. 106 five. I can't get to sleep at night barking lots all out in practice. 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. Somebody take me home. Welcome back to the Jeff Porte show. I've been talking 106 five. Thank you for being with us on this. Uh, what's up to this Thursday morning. Tomorrow on the show, Todd Stacy from Alabama Daily News at our returning champion state senator Chris Elliott, uh, and a text to reason conservatives don't vote is there are no conservatives, polls, only big government, civil liberal, right? Those are neocons. Well, I mean, sometimes you have to pick between the lesser of the two evils. I apologize. I'll see here. And the other thing is like, there's like 17% turnout in Republican primaries. You get what you vote for and sometimes you don't vote, but, uh, you could take the time to go vote in the primary and that's a, let's say critique in general. Um, Ricky, how about these turns back to Jesus Christ and pray for his rule in our government because we're lost without God's blessing on our state country. Well, Ricky, you first just quit. Stop creating these false gods. Stop coveting these conspiracy theory websites you visit. And things will be a lot clearer. I promise. Uh, finally, Jerry, the mobile chamber is ran by, why does everybody hate Bradley burn? I don't, I don't think that's true. I think they're just acting the, the best way for their business model is it's, it's disappointing. It is. I acknowledge that they can't endorse an AL to come up here shortly. Did they mobile shot what you got? Hey, Jeff, uh, first of all, you know, the idea that I've heard this over the years. Oh, you know, I don't have, they're not true conservatives. So I'm not going to vote for them. So when you don't vote for them, you amplify by onefold, the vote for the person that is even more liberal than they are. So therefore you are helping put that liberal person in office. At least, at least me slack job when people say that, well, this is not the, there's not been a candidate yet that I agree with everything on. You know, I don't. The people that, I mean, God, God bless my late father was one of these guys. He listened to rush. He watched Fox news. He didn't vote. It just wasn't, it wasn't important to him. And like, how can you be so like involved in this? It's just entertainment to you. And not at least like go through the motions as 15 minutes to go vote. Yeah, you try to affect change to the right in the primaries, but then you go vote for that person in the general because they're at least a little right of the person running on the, uh, on the left. So yeah, I don't know. I think like in this state, no, this is the state suffers from this, but you really can move the needle at the state level in Alabama. If you go vote, maybe not federally, but they don't. Nope, they don't. They don't turn out. So, uh, yeah, but I'll talk about that. Also, uh, conspiracy theories, hurricanes, alligators and, uh, maybe call you stupid too. I gotta get out of here. It's been a pleasure. Sorry, folks. Forgot to say goodbye. I'll try to do the better tomorrow. This has been the Jet Force show on FM Talk 1065.
