Speaker 1 (00:00):
Senator Tommy Tuberville joining us now on a number of issues.
Senator welcome beck In, Thanks for being here.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Good morning, j T. How are you.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
I'm doing pretty good. How about yourself? Everything good up
there in Crazyville?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Don't get me started. I mean, this place is so corrupt,
so how to control. Thank God for Donald Trump. He
at least he's got their eye own something else they got,
they got their own him instead of the American people
now in President Trump. Well he's got there, got their attention.
He's doing the good things for the American people. And
thank god we're doing that because, I mean, the last
(00:36):
four years have been a disast.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Boy, it's been a good money week for him. The
tariffs and the economy, I mean, just moving in the
right direction by all accounts. And you can't argue with
the stock market now reaching all kinds of highs and everything.
But let's talk about what's going on in your world.
How about this trip to Tuscaloosa.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Yeah, it was good. Him met a lot of mayors
and talked a lot of county commissioners and I may
been making a round so the last month and a
half and seen all the big groups and farmers and
doctors and lawyers and bankers and grocery store owners. They
just everybody just trying to get the sense of the
(01:16):
economy and get everybody's opinion of where we're at and
where we need to go. But it's been good. The
mayors have been good. We've got great opportunities coming. We
just got to take advantage of them because President Trump
sending the money and the power back to the States,
so let's take it and run with it.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah, was there anything that stood out to you in
meeting with these folks that go, yeah, it seems to
be a common denominator or something that really struck you
as okay, wow, that you know, this is an important
issue here that you know we need to think about.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Well, it depends on where you live. You know, if
you live in Birmingham and Montgomery, you worried about law
enforcement and you know, the safe neighborhood. And then if
you live on the Gulf Coast Orange Beach, you're worried
about the bay, you know, because they're doing a lot
of dumping into the bay in terms of things that
they're digging out of the port, which the court is
going to be huge for us, but they're you know,
(02:06):
worried about the regulations and the EPA. And then of
course you go to north to Huntsville Space Command and
you know what's coming there? What else is coming? And
I tell people a for northern and all of outBut
there is a lot more than Space Command coming. We're
this Golden Dome situation. We're going to put hundreds of
(02:28):
billions in in the next ten twenty years. Is going
to be right up the alley of the people of
state Alabama's gonna bring a lot of jobs.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Well, let's talk about Space Command just a little bit more,
if you don't mind. I mean, there's been so much
talk about the growth of it, the amount of people
that are coming in for this. Are we on the
right track or there's still some hurdles happening here in
all of this.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
We're just gotting ice crossing the tees JT. It's not
if when, And the thing that we have got to
do is and of course it's been swapped back and forth,
and we need to make sure that when this happens
and we start to process that it doesn't reverse course
if something were to happen here in a few years
with whoever's in the White House, or who's controlling the
(03:10):
White House and what parties. So we want to do
it the right way. And you know, when this move
happens again, there's no doubt. And we'll start construction and
we'll have funding and we'll start temporary move of a
lot of people from Colorado Springs. And again that's just
part and we got FBI moving in right and the
(03:32):
left cash. But Tail is sick of this place up here.
He's moving people out of Washington, d C. We will
probably have over one thousand to fifteen hundred this time
next year that we'll move in and a lot of
them are moving in, a lot of I've getting calls
from mayors from Boaz, from Dunnersville, Coach. We've got people
moving in from the FBI in our area working in Huntsville,
(03:56):
and we need to upgrade you know, water and sewers,
and I agree that. But you know the thing about
it is these people are loving it. They see they're
coming where they want to hustle. I've never been there.
All of a sudden, they get there, they look at
oh my god, this is America.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
That's a great place to love. They see, Yeah, a
lot of a lot of people are concerned there's a
lot of Libs coming in that move here and could
change the balance here in the red state of Alabama
becoming more purple. Is that even a concern on your radar.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Well, it's our job to make sure that they come
here with that ideology that it switches real quick. But
and I think it will. It's not all of them.
I mean, you don't have all of them, but you
don't have a lot of you know, I've never experienced freedom.
I've never experienced uh, the you know, the livelihood that
we have to be able to raise our kids in
a in a great place and the weather's better, and
(04:44):
the opportunities for their kids once they grow up. Uh,
you know, Uh, there's so many more positives than it
is in these blue blue cities which are absolutely war
zones and not don't get any better.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Well, if it keeps up in New York City with
what's taking place, you know, where the good guys can't
own guns in the city and it's just bad guys
and cops that have the guns, or if it continues
with this potential mayor that's going to get into this
chair up there in New York City, we're going to
see a lot more people leaving that area. Is we
all going to Florida and coming to states like Alabama
and experiencing that new you know, found freedom of course?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
All right, I know they want social workers. They want
social workers, not policemen. That's really gonna work, right.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Right, you're right, it is insane up there, all right.
One last thing, I know veterans close near and dear
to your heart, and you're always working to benefit veterans.
This new bill to increase the cost of living for veterans.
Talk to me about where this is and what's in it.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
We're working hard on it, and it's not just veterans.
There's also people active duty. I'm on Arm Service and
the VA committee, and we raised the salaries for the
low level entry people in military, and we want to
give more cost of living to the VA. We're not
keeping up with it with the Joneses, so to speak.
(06:01):
And we've got the money. The problem is, we've got
a lot of money going to lawyers all over this
country that are suing on behalf of veterans. But the
lawyers get sixty seventy eighty percent of some of these
lawsuits from this pack active we signed, we knew that
was coming and that's the reason the Democrats did it.
And we want to get more money in the pocket
so the veterans they deserve it and they don't need
(06:24):
to be stolen from. And again that's what this bill
is going to do, is try to get more costs
of living upfront to the veterans that really really deserve
what we give them.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Well, a high five to you on the work you
do for the veterans and active duty as well. I mean,
just great work you're doing there. Hey, next time you're
in Birmingham, open door here in our studios would love
to have you stop in.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yeah, I'd love to come when y'all come into town.
Y'all come every year when that.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Is well, we used to do it with a Federation
for American Immigration Reform and they got a new leader
there and they've stopped doing the hold of your Feet
to the Fire radio event where they had people from
all over the country come in and line up those guests.
It was really a good thing that they had going
and I think all the you know, broadcast companies that
came in for it really enjoyed it too. The access
(07:10):
to people in d C didn't matter when it comes
to immigration, we're there. I mean, Tom Holman was sitting
down with us. You said down with us, and you know,
so many others, ranchers and border patrol. It was it
was really a good event. But I guess financially speaking,
they couldn't pull that off or you know, continue doing
it anymore. I would love to get back up there soon.
(07:30):
But you know, you're always so gracious when we're there,
and we appreciate you. But yeah, anytime you're here, always welcome.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
