• 0:03
  Speaker 1: All right, friends, welcome for the third hour. Appreciate you
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: joining us here on Thrustrial Radio or iHeartRadio, however you
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: find us. We're grateful, truly grateful. That is Jose running
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: the radio program in Studio one A. I am your host,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Preston Scott, and I am joined by the coach, US
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: senator and candidate for governor in the great state of Alabama,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Tommy Tubberville. Coach, how are you.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Preston. I'm doing great. Thanks for asking.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I'm anxious to talk about your gubernatorial campaign, but I
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: have to ask you. It is topic de jure for
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the last several weeks around here. What's going on with
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the Save Act? Why can't this just let him fill
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: a buster, a talk and let's vote and get it done.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: One hundred percent agree. It is amazing up here. It
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: is a eighty something percent approval, not just Republicans but
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: also most of the Democrats. Is not quite as high
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: for the Democrats, but it's a super majority. So at
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: the end of the day, we got so many people
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: up here. There's word to death about getting re elected.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: And that's what's wrong with this place. You know, you know,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: I might hurt my voting and all this and instead
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: of doing what's best for the country. And I tell
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: people this that people ask me, what do you think
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: the biggest reason we need to pass this is from
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: first of all, we've got fifteen states in this country.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: They're absolutely going to cheat the hell out of the
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: American people. And they're the Blue states and they do
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: everything they can, from the city government all the way
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: up to the federal government of stacking the boxes. That's
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: been proven. It's not just hearsay. We know what happens.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: And so you've lost fifteen states right there. If we
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: don't get voter ID we've lost them. We have no
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: chance for the American people, you know, to save their country.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: And so seventy seven million people, not Democrats or Republicans
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Preston voted for Donald Trump. Seventy seven million. And they're
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: tired of this nonsense. They're tired of politics. They want
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: their country back, and they want fair elections. When I
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: go throughout Alabama, coach is, please tell me my vote's
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: going to count and for us in Alabama, and of
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: course a lot of the pan hele in Florida, you're
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: you're gonna have fair elections. But that's just one of
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: our two states out of fifty that I know we
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: can count on. We need fifty out of fifty.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Why is it so difficult for John Thune to understand?
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I should say, the polling that you mentioned, We've talked
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: about it, seventy plus percent of Blacks, seventy plus percent
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: of Latinos, seventy three percent of Democrats, and the overall
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: numbers eighty three percent. You're gonna lose votes by not
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: voting this into place.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's trying to play Paul. You know, he's the
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: leader up here, and I didn't vote for him, and
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: he's John's a good guy, and he's Republican believes in
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: the country. But he's got five or six seven people
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: in our caucus that are Republicans. They're not really Republicans,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: you know. Number one, they all hate Donald Trump, and
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: uh they want to more vote for the Democratic side,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: and we know who they all are. And so uh,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: in defense of him, if he brings it up just
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: a regular vote, we got no shot because we have
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: to have sixty votes. And so that's the reason I've
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: been pushing all along. There's no reason for us to
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: do the antiquated filibuster anymore because they're gonna they're gonna
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: bust it when they get control, which is gonna be
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: very soon if we don't go ahead and do the
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Save Act. But it's just important that we understand that
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: we need to get things done, like the Save Act,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: the budget. Uh if nothing but this situation we're in
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: right now. I went through some airports last year weeks. Preston.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: TSA is a god awful mess. Yes, it all weights,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: and it's all because the Democrats refused to fund DHS
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: that it's not really about TSA for them. They just
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: hate to lose their voting base, which is illegal. And
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: so we could do a fifty one vote bust to
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: philibuster vote it, clean that up, Save America Act, and
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: do so much for the American people. If we would
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: do the right thing and bust to Philibuster, forget about
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: They said, well, it's tradition in the Senate. We have sixty. Hey,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: I don't work for the Senate. I work for the
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: American people and people of Alabama. Let's get this done
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: because this is a different world than what it was
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Preston ten years ago. The Democrats have turned crazy on us,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: absolutely nuts, a.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Few more minutes this morning with friend of the program
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: US Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama before we get to
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the governor's race in your state, Coach, just your level
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: of comfort or discomfort with what's going on in the
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Middle East.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Well, I feel good about it. I feel good about
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: why we did it. You hate to lose any of
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: our soldiers, and unfortunately we've lost a few, but precedents
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: to the point where we finally got a president that
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: would say enough's enough on building nuclear weapons or funding
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: terrorism all over the world. We've had one hundred and
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: eighty taxes in the last few years on American citizens
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: from terrorists that are funded by Iran. They hate this country,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: they hate Americas, they hate Christianity, and it's time to
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: put them in their place. So he has now, do
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: we need to stay very long? No, we do not.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: We need to get in, we need to get out,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: and we need to turn this over to another regime.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Now it sounds like they're his son is going to
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: take over, but there has been regime change. We're making
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: sure that they have no uranium, no nuclear facilities, and
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: give our kids and grandkids a peace of mind that
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: if something happens in this world is not going to
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: be because of Iran in the Islamic.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Terrorist Let's switch over now to your run for governor.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Why'd you decide to make the decision to push away
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: from the US Senate and head to the Executive Office
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: of Alabama.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Well, the President is sending more power back to the states,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: more money back to the states. You know, we're a
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: stand still up here. You're not going to get much done.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: You know, President Trump, you have to have a White House,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: and President Trump the most everything he's getting done is
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: by executive orders. Now, we did do the one big,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: beautiful bill, but that took an arm and a leg
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: just to twist the arms of some of these rhinos
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: we got in the Senate to get this done with
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: fifty one votes, we didn't have to have sixty. So
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: it's time for to go back. I can do a
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: lot more good there because understanding and knowing and in
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: communicating with President Trump getting things done for the southeast
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: part of the country. We're going We're going to grow
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: manufacturing Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee. I'm looking forward to it.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I can build something, you know, it's kind of like
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: being a head football coach. You got to hire your
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: own staff and your cabinet, and you gotta have a
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: game plan and you put it to work. Up here,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: there's no game plan, there's nothing other than you just
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: go over there and listen to a bunch of nonsense
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: every day and and just hopefully we help President Trump
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: as much as we possibly can.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: You talked about some of the things that are coming
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: to the region, but specifically in Alabama. I've noted just
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: in the news stories that come across my desk, Coach,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: the the big changes that are coming into Alabama, Space
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: comm Fannie May, Coast Guard Training Center, talk about some
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: of that.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, We've been fortunate to attract a lot of good
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: some obviously government jobs. Fanning May, I'm a job. President
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Trump called me one night and said, Hey, we're moving
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Fanny May out of California. Do you want it in Alabama?
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Let said bring it on. And then Coast Guard route. Yeah,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: we've worked on it for the Coast Guard for the
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: last year and we had a great opportunity and a
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: great place for them. It saved the country probably some
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: eight one hundred million dollars taken over old Birmingham Southern,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: which is a two hundred acre campus which is going
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: to be perfect for own land, training, leadership and all
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: those things for Coastguard and then Space Command. It's a
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: no brainer. They played politics with this, but Hunt schools
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: of the Rocket city of the World, and everything we
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: do and space comes from there. Why not have Space
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Command where they can communicate and do things we need
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: to do, you know, around all the infrastructure we have there.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: If you get the job as governor, what is job
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: one for you in Alabama?
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, growd the state. You know, it's kind of like
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: a mini United States. The only way we're going to
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: get out of this debt, the only way we're going
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: to help our young people. Number one is getting manufacturing
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: back to this country. Bill Clinton sold us out through NAFTA.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: We have all over the state of Alabama buildings that
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: are empty where we used to make things. We don't
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: make things anymore. We've got to get back to making drugs,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: making things that can help our country in the United States.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: We found out during COVID you know how vulnerable we
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: were with no pharmaceuticals made in our country, all made
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: in China. Enough's enough. We finally got a president says,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: we're going to start doing what we need to do
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: and take care of ourselves, First America, first agenda, and
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: I'm all in on it.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Coach, thanks for the time this morning. I know you're busy,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: and I appreciate you wedging some loose best of success,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: and I hope we talk soon.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Thanks Preston, God blessed, Thank.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: You, sir. Coach. Tommy Tubberville, US senator from Alabama and
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: running for governor. And you heard why you could here
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: in the beginning, just his disdain for how they do
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: things in the Beltway. It just explained right there. I
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: asked the question almost it was almost rhetorical. I mean,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: I know why he's getting out of there and going
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: to Alabama, going back home, and good guy boy, he's
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: got his head screwed on straight and he shares our
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: values and I look forward to continuing, you know, a
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: relationship with him. I think he's going to win the
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: governor's seat and it'd be great to have him on
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: the show from time to time. It is our neighbor,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: and we want the best for our neighbors because that's
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: the way we are. The cul de Sac here known
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: as the Morning Show with Preston Scott
