What are you, what are you hearing? What are you seeing out there?

Yeah.

Uh, our people just gotta get motivated.

At the end of the day, there's a lot at stake here, uh, on a national scene and, and, and a state, and a state scene.

I mean, we- we've gotta, we've gotta just draw the line here.

What, where do, what do we wanna be? Uh, do we wanna be a socialist, communist state and country? Uh, do we wanna open the borders to, to a 300,000 more illegals to our state of Alabama? Do we want higher taxes? Because that's got to happen.

They've gotta raise taxes to do what they wanna do.

Do we ever get that going in the other direction?

What are you, what are you hearing? What are you seeing out there?

Yeah.

Uh, our people just gotta get motivated.

At the end of the day, there's a lot at stake here, uh, on a national scene and, and, and a state, and, uh, state scene.

They've gotta raise taxes to do what they wanna do.

Do we ever get that going in the other direction?

How serious are you about that?

Oh, 100%.

There's no life in Montgomery, Dale.

I- If you ever get a chance, and I'm sure you'll be there several times over the next year or so, just look down the street.

There's no life.

It's a dead city.

Uh, and how's that happened? It, it's happened because the Democrat controls city.

What are you guys gonna do over the next couple weeks to fire up Republicans?

Yeah.

But you have some schools that are absolutely have, have, uh, you know, gone into this nonsense that the g- Democrats are pushing of, of diversity, equity, and inclusion instead of merit.

If we get away from merit in our schools, it'll be over for this country because education is what is so important to, as I said, from zero to 18, um, that's when they get their start in life, and I've seen a downturn of education in the last, what, 15 years.

What are we gonna do to stop it? Because it's spreading like wildfire.

After World War II, we got a precedent for it.

After World War II, basically we stopped any immigration.

Any of it.

Said, "Listen, we gotta get control of what we have here." And I, and I, I don't know whether you'd go that far, but President Trump understands it.

Yeah.

Uh, what do you make of that and the challenge to a debate?

Well, he, he, he's trying to compare himself to me.

You know, I read, I read something where he said, you know, I'm the same guy I was in 2020 when I beat him over 20 points.

Uh, yeah, he's exactly right.

He's the same guy.

But it, but, but the people around him have just totally changed.

And look who he's bringing into the state.

What do you say to Jones on that?

The President

Thank you, Mr.

President.

The best president in my lifetime, And the best golfing president in my lifetime.

He has won 40 club championships.

I want you to think about that 40 club championship, but I want to thank the president for coming tonight.

He could have gone somewhere else, but as he said, he started his track for president United States here.

Hello,

Mobile.

This is awesome.

Thank you.

It's great to be here.

And first of all, I want to tell you I've been excited and proud to have represented you the last six years in the United States Senate.

Before we start here, I'd like to give a special hand to every veteran in it.

It

What, what? What do you, how do you assess that? What do you think needs to be done once you inherit to the governor's role?

Yeah.

Well, first of all, this thing should have been built 10, 15 years ago.

It's ridiculous.

The word at this point, I can remember when it was almost getting ready to start when I was running for this position six years ago.

And for some reason it was voted down.

And, uh, if we'd have voted, then it would have been finished.

And I guess you're kind of both linked here, but, um, especially data centers and your opponents make it a big deal about, um, um, you know, well, whatever you want to make of that, but, uh, you know, uh, kind of, kind of elaborate on your view on data centers coming to Alabama and what you think that ought to look like if put into practice.

Or what, what, what do you, how do you assess that? What, what do you think needs to be done once you inherit the governor's role?

Yeah.

Well, first of all, this thing should've been built 10, 15 years ago.

It's ridiculous that we're at this point.

I can remember when it was almost getting ready to start when I was running for this position six years ago, and for some reason, it was voted down.

And, uh, if we'd have voted then, it would've been finished, it would've been half the cost of what it is today.

And I'll tell you this, I despise tolls.

But, uh, you know, uh, kind of, kind of elaborate on your view on data centers coming to Alabama and what you think that ought to look like if put into practice.

What are you doing to make sure that you make that a priority?

Well, the big thing is to have an open dialogue with everybody.

Every day, at least 10 or 15 times, I walk through every office here, and we all have, what, eight or nine, 10 offices where you have a staff of around 30.

And I want to make sure that they go and they see me working, then I see them working.

I don't want them to know that, well, is Coach here today? Or, you know, is there any instructions we need to get? But I will personally, I don't go to the – a legislative director or the chief of staff, communication director.

I don't go to anybody and pass along what I think they need to do or pat them on the back for what they did best.

I personally go.

one win in particular or one achievement?

They're the ones that are going to make life more affordable by reducing spending and inflation? Really? What's the track record there?

Larry, my first four years here, the Democrats were in charge of everything.

And what did we do? We spent $4 trillion more than we should have even thought about spending.

It's about the money that we're putting out there that's causing prices to go up.

We're trying to cut back, but the Democrats have no desire to ever cut back on anything in federal government.

They want to keep adding to it.

And President Trump has cut out, what, 400,000 government workers? He's trying to do everything he possibly can.

Democratic gasoline, high taxes and climate restrictions.

The least of these, the poor people, that they're getting punished.

Hell, we're all getting punished.

We're all in the same boat.

Yeah.

How do you explain that to the average human being when they drive down the street and see a four on their gas tank?

We're all the same way.

I mean, we look at it going, what the heck? And, of course, we had this pretty much the same for the three or four years that Joe Biden was supposedly running our country.

Again, the problem is a long-term problem.

Uh, and it's not a short term fix.

And again, president Trump has a plan and we haven't had a plan in years, uh, that we've started the first new refinery that we've built and pretty much mine in your lifetime.

And that is absolutely nonsense.

Is that a real thing?

Let's start there, and then we'll move on.

Yeah, it's terrible for the American people.

Obviously, there's several things, Dale, that are causing all this.

And don't think the Democrats aren't a big part of this, because what they did for four years and what other presidents have done for years is just let Iran get by with pretty much murder.

And President Trump is trying to address the issue of taking away the... opportunity for them to have a nuclear weapon we have to pay a price it's unfortunate american people are having to pay it it is way too high i've talked to secretary treasurer scott bessett they're trying to do things behind the scenes to make things work but it is what it is the problem too is not just the amount of oil dale it is the amount of refineries that we have in this country because this climate nonsense hoax that they pushed cost us probably a trillion dollars over the last 15, 20 years, and it pretty much stopped the building of any refineries.

And so you can have all the oil you want, but it's just tough to make enough diesel to go around, jet fuel, diesel, gas.

No excuses.

Is that a real thing?

Our viewers and listeners are wanting to know when's there going to be some action.

Welcome to my world.

Washington, D.C., it's all it is.

You know, you talk, you talk a great game, but you don't do anything because you're afraid you'll lose a vote.

And we got to get away from that.

Unfortunately, that'll never happen up here in Washington, D.C., because people love to be in politics.

They love to keep a job, uh, for some reason, I don't know why they would like a job like this, but it's, uh, uh, I guess it's better than being a lawyer in some areas.

Man, it looks like it's going to be an exciting time celebrating the 250th birthday.

So were we that out of whack with Canada? Do you think this will all be resolved at the end of the day with the folks up north?

well 100 well president trump's gonna get him in line here's the deal they have really partnered more with china than they have with us that crazy prime minister they got up their car he's absolutely taken taking the bull by the horn and said what heck with our neighbors uh across the border we're going more more in line with china we're going to buy their stuff they'll buy some of ours but think about this we buy and and take in 80 of their products in canada and They flood the market with lumber.

I've had foresters from Alabama, saw millers come up and just begging, Coach, we need to see somebody about these tariffs that we're paying an arm and a leg for.

And then Canada comes in here.

They're subsidized by Canada, and they're flooding our market.

We're not getting any price for our lumber.

So President Trump's doing the right thing.

So are you optimistic that the relationship will come through this bit of disagreement right now and get back to where we can deal with each other?

Do we sort of start going in a different direction, you think, once you're governor?

Yeah.

We, we've already started a plan of what we're gonna do.

We started about a year and a half ago, Jeff, of, of what we need first, the priorities, and of course we've... everybody puts pavement down, but we gotta build different roads.

We got a three-lane at 65 and 85.

Um, you know, we're getting more and more traffic from the north.

Um, we've gotta, we gotta do a lot better job on some of the smaller roads and some of the bridges.

But, uh, people are, are more and more kind of, uh, embracing this ideology and I, I think that's problematic long term.

We've been repaving a lot in the last five years, but does that sort of start going in a different direction, you think, once you're governor?

Yeah, we've already started a plan of what we're going to do.

We started about a year and a half ago, Jeff, of what we need first, the priorities.

Of course, everybody puts pavement down, but we've got to build different roads.

We've got a three-lane, 65 and 85.

We've got to do a lot better job on some of the smaller roads and some of the bridges.

But people are more and more... kind of embracing this ideology, and I think that's problematic long term.

We don't want you here." While I agree with that sentiment completely, would you like to expound on it?

Well, first of all, uh, we can't survive with people hating this country.

Uh, and they want us to change to a socialist, uh, uh, or communist, uh, uh, government, and we, we're not gonna do that.

You know, if, if you look at what's happened over the years of how we've fought and fought and fought to keep this country the way it is, and now you have a bunch of spoiled brats or Third World coun- country people coming here wanting to change it to, uh, what they're used to.

We're not gonna do it.

And so, hey, there's a clear invitation from me.

If you don't like it, leave it.

Is that, is that true? You guys worried up there?

While I agree with that sentiment completely, would you like to expound on it?

Well, first of all, we can't survive with people hating this country.

And they want to change the socialist or communist ideology.

And we're not going to do that.

If you look at what's happened over the years of how we've fought and fought and fought to keep this country the way it is, and now you have a bunch of spoiled brats or third-world country people coming here wanting to change it to what they're used to, we're not going to do it.

And so, hey, there's a clear invitation from me.

If you don't like it, leave it.

Is that true? You guys worried up there?

Your, your take.

Yeah.

Well, we, we don't have a game plan.

I mean, there, there's no plan in, intact up here from the federal government that takes this back to our kids all over the country and explains to them the difference between socialism, communism, and being a capitalist country.

Uh, they don't realize how good we have it here.

Now, uh, I can understand a lot of them going to these universities and getting a degree in sociology and spending $150,000 or borrowing $150,000 and getting out, and they can't get a job at Walmart because they didn't get a degree that actually you can get a job.

Our universities have become a business instead of a educational institution.

Mm-hmm

How is that possible?

Well, there is an economic.

Our economy is really good.

Yes.

If you look if you look at all the factors, it's all out there.

It's all about market, though, Larry.

But you've got to give it to these socialist communist Democrats.

We're here in the battle over the filibuster? Really? Can I be honest with you, sir? Right at this moment before the election, who the hell cares about the filibuster?

Your

take.

Well, we don't have a game plan.

There's no plan intact up here from the federal government that takes this back to our kids all over the country and explains to them the difference between socialism, communism, and being a capitalist country.

They don't realize how good we have it here.

Now, I can understand a lot of them going to these universities and getting a degree in sociology and spending $150,000 or borrowing $150,000 and getting out And they can't get a job at Walmart because they didn't get a degree that actually you can get a job.

Our universities have become a business instead of a educational institution.

So the floor is yours, sir.

So your thoughts on all the madness.

Yeah, you got to go back and remember now, this caused the lives of 9 million people across the world.

This was genocide.

And this just wasn't somebody that created a small infraction there.

I was on the health committee when I first got here in 2021.

I followed and ran Paul's lead.

We're both on the committee together.

What's stopping the process? Talk to us about the parliamentary procedure and John Thune and all of this.
