Taylor Hicks, Birmingham's own Taylor Hicks, and Taylor Hicks is
joining us right now on the show. Taylor, Welcome to
Alabama's Morning News.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Hey, John, how are you?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
I'm doing great? So I'm I was really excited because
we just got done talking with Senator Tommy Tuberville, which
was I as an honor. I've never talked with him
before live on the air, and I've never talked with
you before live on the air, and you're joining us
coincidentally enough because of Senator Tommy Tuberville. Well, I'll let
you take it from here.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Well, I'm just I believe Coach Tullverville, Senator Troubleville is
I think he's the best candidate for governor for Alabama,
and I'm putting my full endorsement behind him. I think
you know, I've known co and I'm known Senator Tubleville
for uh going on about ten or fifteen years. And
you know, first and foremost, let's not forget that he's
(01:08):
an educator. You know, he was a coach, and he
was a coach at Auburn. He was an educator at Auburn,
and I think I think one of the one of
the things that I like about some of his you know,
ideas for the state is beefing up education. As I
tour around the country, you know, I see I go
(01:28):
to schools and perform and I think that education and
it is something that that US Alabamians need to you know,
I think we really need to take a look at
and make sure that we take care of our kids.
And I think Coach will do that. I also think that, uh,
that Coach Tubbleville, with his relationship with President Trump, will
(01:52):
uh protect and and you know, grow our military assets
and uh and Huntsville. And I think he's the best
candidate for governor. And not only that, he's a good guy,
and he likes to play golf, and he's he's pretty
funny too.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Till you mentioned education, I'd like to talk about education
in particular fine arts education, music. I think it's so
important that that kids come out they're well rounded. Okay,
yes they know the quadratic equation, Yes they can find,
you know, Florida on a map, things like that. But
the importance of music education. What does when you were
(02:32):
in school, I imagine that you were probably also learning
how to play the guitar, harmonica, these kind of things,
and it helped develop your mind. How important do you
think education is for young people?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Well, it is the most important thing that we can
do for our children and our children's future. You know,
liberal arts programs across the country have been slashed dramatically
over the years. It's tough to watch because you have
a lot of talented kids, and you have a lot
(03:05):
of talented kids in the state of Alabama that need
you know, not only the math equation, but also you know,
they also need the outlet for creativity. And I think
that I think we do need to take care of
our liberal arts programs in the state, and not only that,
but you know, our education in areas like the Wiregrass.
(03:28):
I think it's important to take care of all of
our kids and make sure that they have the best
education that they possibly can have.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
And it sounds to me like Tommy Turberville is probably
the right guy for that. And you know, Alabama has
always been the butt of so many jokes because of
education and oh we're number forty nine, thank goodness for
Mississippi and all that business. But we're making a lot
of strides, things like the Focus Act. They're definitely we're
looking at trying to improve education in our state, bringing
everyone forward, because let's talk about you know, when you
(03:57):
think about the brain drain. You know, a lot of
times kids they go to college and then they leave
Alabama and they go on to somewhere else. It would
be great if we kept people here. And one of
the ways to keep them here is if people know
as they grow a family, they raise a family that
they're going to be able to put their kids in
a school that's going to educate them and contribute to
them carrying on their ability to make money into the
(04:18):
next generation.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Absolutely. You know, having the option to go to go
to school and to go to the school that you
want to I believe is important. Like I said, I've
traveled all across the country. I've seen different education systems
all over the country, and to be able to choose
is to me, I think is important. You know, let's
(04:42):
not forget about our farmers. You know, I had a
show State Plate that aired on the Inspiration Channel where
we not only you know, focus on food and putting
a plate of food together that was just iconic to
that State but you know what staple is that actually
was in important to that particular state. So I got
to see and be with a lot of farmers throughout
(05:06):
the throughout the country and agricultural you know, importance is
in Alabama is also something that we need to take
care of. We need to take care of our farmers
in Alabama. I think that they're important just as much
as our children are. And I think Senator Troubleville will
be able to take care of that as well. Well.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Taylor, thank you so much for joining us. Thank you
for sharing your endorsement. I know it will go a
long way. There's a lot of people who are big
fans of yours and will definitely be interested. You know, normally,
I got to say, normally, when a musician has a
political thought on something, you go there a musician whether
they know. But you know, for some reason, I think
I actually do trust what you say because I think
(05:48):
you know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I've done I've done some homework and uh, you know,
I've been I've been around for a long time and uh,
you know, this is my first endorsement ever of a politician,
and I just I think coach and I think Senator
Troubleville will do a great job and I'm looking forward
to seeing them hear in about forty five minutes at
the Capitol.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Oh great, well, I will take the endorsement of Taylor
Hicks over Taylor Swift Eddie Day. Thank you so much,
Taylor for joining us this morning. Say hi again to
the Senator for us, and keep on making some meal.
