1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: Are you tired for the swamp never getting cleared out?

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: Or nobody Roger en up to go in there? Will

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: stand by because today I'm going to introduce you to

4
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: a true warrior and a true Christian who's going to

5
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: go to Washington and kick some ass.

6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 2: This is the David Rutherford Chill. There have been a

7
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 2: few times in.

8
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: My life where I have had the opportunity to meet

9
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: somebody who transforms me. And I'm a part of a

10
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:36,599
Speaker 1: culture of transformative men. And all my times and the teams,

11
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 1: my times at working for the agency, my times working

12
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: with elite athletes, I've come across a few, but only

13
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: one that has been able to when he speaks, he

14
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,639
Speaker 1: hits me in my soul, and he hits me in

15
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: my soul because I always feel as if I can

16
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: never be redeemed and that my sin is something that

17
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: I can has always going to be an insurmountable option.

18
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: But when I met this man for the first time

19
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: out of charity event in Florida, he transformed the way

20
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: I thought about my faith and I thought about myself.

21
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: So when I found out that this individual was going

22
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: to run for the US Senate, you can imagine what

23
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: my heart felt, and I felt that sense that, oh,

24
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: my God, you are answering my prayers, which is to

25
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: get somebody that is a deep, firm believer not only

26
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: in this country and in the values that I believe in,

27
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: but more importantly believe in what the country represents. And

28
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: that man is Jared Hudson. And I am beyond honored

29
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: and privileged to have Jared on the show right now

30
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: to introduce all of you to who he is, and

31
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: the hopes that just one of you out there will

32
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: hear what he has to say and you will connect

33
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: with him and you will get behind this man in

34
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: his to go into that swamp, that infestation of DC

35
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: in order to bring back not only the faith that

36
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: we have in the Lord, but the faith that we

37
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: should have in this country. So, Jared Hudson, man, it's

38
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: a privilege to have you on.

39
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 3: Dave. What's up? Brother? Thank you. It's an honor being

40
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 3: here with you. And I feel the same about you, Dave.

41
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,839
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm just be honest with you, and every

42
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,119
Speaker 3: time I read something you write or here's something you say,

43
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 3: you know, don't want to turn this into a back

44
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 3: and forth compliment Sandwich, you know, but You're a good dude,

45
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 3: and I appreciate all that you do and all that

46
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 3: you put out.

47
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: Well, thank you.

48
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: All right, So, you know, before we hopped on, obviously

49
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: we were chatting a little bit about that the overwhelming

50
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: difficult decision it is to cross that threshold because of

51
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: what's at stake. Right, somebody approaches you say, hey, you

52
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 1: should run for office, you should do this. We need

53
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: people like you, and you know that strokes our ego

54
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: all the time. That's awesome, But there's this reality to

55
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: what if you're you know, even remotely have any kind

56
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: of common sense to know that this game is the

57
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: most vicious game in the world, and you know, and

58
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: and so what I just would like for you to

59
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: share is how that process worked for you and your

60
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 1: family and and kind of what was the catalyst inside

61
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 1: you that you knew that this is the right decision.

62
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we'll do a long story, short sort of thing.

63
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 3: This was not in mine of my wife's radar. This

64
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 3: wasn't you know. Again, we talked about it before before

65
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 3: the show, but everybody says stuff in jokes. You know,

66
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 3: I ran for sheriff. You're in a Democrat stronghold in

67
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 3: Jefferson County, Alabama, one of the few blue counties in

68
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 3: the state of Alabama because it's like seventy or eighty

69
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 3: percent read all across the state. But Jefferson County is

70
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 3: a blue county. And I ran against the incumbent sheriff,

71
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 3: who is an incumbent Democrat, and almost beat him. You know,

72
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 3: got within about seven thousand votes of him. This is

73
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 3: larger than in the congressional district in this county. And

74
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 3: so with that being said, that kind of got me

75
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 3: tied into politics. And everybody's always said, hey, if you

76
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 3: want to run, you run for a state office, you

77
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 3: want to run for maybe a congressional seat if one

78
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 3: of those opens up. I mean, everybody always said said

79
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 3: things like this, and so it's always been something that

80
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 3: that is there, that's mentioned. But in all honesty, it

81
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 3: was never an option or an opportunity or something that

82
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 3: made since I guess if if you're tracking with what

83
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 3: I'm saying, it just never was was there. The Lord

84
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 3: didn't have it. And a couple of months ago it

85
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 3: got fired across my desk by some supporters of our organization,

86
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 3: coven At Rescue Group, and they're also supporters of our

87
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 3: Senator Tommy Tuberwell, who's now running for governor of the

88
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 3: state of Alabama. They said, hey, if Coach runs for governor,

89
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 3: would you consider running for his Senate seat. It'll be

90
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 3: an open Senate seat. And I said, well, you know,

91
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 3: I'll consider it. Yeah, just because of who's asking me,

92
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 3: you're asking me, I'm more than willing consider. But it's

93
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 3: going to take some prayerful consideration. I've taught with my wife.

94
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 3: This is not a political ambition for me. This is

95
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 3: not the next step in my career. As a matter

96
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 3: of fact, it could negatively impact my career. I mean,

97
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 3: that's what we're looking at at just face value, and

98
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 3: it's going to cost a lot of money and take

99
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 3: a lot of time. So let me talk with my wife,

100
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 3: and we're going to pray about it. And so my

101
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 3: wife and I talk about it. We pray about it,

102
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 3: and I could not get a clear answer from the Lord. Now,

103
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 3: something you brought at the beginning is my faith in

104
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 3: your faith. I know we're Christian brothers. We share the

105
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 3: same faith. And so everybody out there who hears can

106
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 3: understand what I mean, whether you believe what I'm saying

107
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 3: or not. What I know to be true. Is what

108
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 3: John chapter one says in the beginning was the word.

109
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 3: The word was God. The world was with God, always

110
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 3: made through him and by him, And everything we see

111
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 3: that was made wasn't made without him. He's the light

112
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 3: and life of the men, and light shone in the darkness,

113
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 3: and the darkness couldn't overcome it. That's the first five

114
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 3: verses of John. Verse fourteen. The word became flesh and

115
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 3: dwealth among men. Jesus is that flesh. He came to

116
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 3: this world world, lived a perfect life, died on the cross,

117
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 3: rose again on the third day for my sins and yours,

118
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 3: and it's through him we're set free. You mentioned the

119
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 3: mountain or the massiveness of sin that we cannot recover from.

120
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 3: You're exactly right. Jared Hudson can't recover from his sin.

121
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 3: Dave Rutherford can't recover from his sin. Only Jesus can

122
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 3: recover us from our sin. And he did that on

123
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 3: the cross. And when he rose and left the tomb right,

124
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 3: the empty tomb shows us that he defeated sin and death,

125
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 3: and as a dread warriors, Jeremiah says, he holds the

126
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 3: head of sin and death up before his father and

127
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 3: says he says, hey, Dad, here it is I conquered

128
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 3: sin and death, and when we're in Him, we are

129
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 3: able to conquer the sin that is in our life.

130
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 3: That's the most important thing about me. So everything I

131
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 3: do is based on who the person of Christ is

132
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 3: eternally in my life, because that's what guides me, and

133
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 3: that is how I That's how I make decisions, right.

134
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 3: I pray through those decisions and seek the wisdom of

135
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 3: God because he is the only one who is truly wise.

136
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 3: So in those prayer times, that's what I mean by

137
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 3: when I say I'm a Christian and I'm seeking the

138
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 3: Lord's face. We're believers and we are praying and seeing Lord.

139
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 3: Should we do this? And Man, to be honest with you,

140
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 3: I could not get a word from the Lord. He said, Jared,

141
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 3: run for Sennate. And that's unusual for me. Normally I'll say, hey,

142
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 3: God told me to do this, or he told me

143
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 3: not to do this. Reading his word right, reading the scripture,

144
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 3: praying through it. He's going to speak to you through

145
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 3: his word. I could not get any specific word, but

146
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 3: the word I was getting over and over read the

147
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 3: story of Abigail and her husband and Baul, who is

148
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 3: an evil man, and David. You can read that story

149
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 3: anybody wants to look it up. And the wisdom of Abigail.

150
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 3: Read another story about the wisdom of the woman who

151
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 3: threw out the head, and I forgot who it was

152
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 3: was running from Joe. Ab throws out the head over

153
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 3: the wall, kills the man that ran in, and throws

154
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 3: it out, and it says that the whole city was

155
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 3: delivered because of the wisdom of this woman. And I'm

156
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 3: reading these stories right, and I'm like, I know there's

157
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 3: no way this right, God, I can't you know. I'm

158
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 3: not gonna ask Lauren. I know she's gonna say no anyway,

159
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 3: because she says no to everything that isn't a beach vacation.

160
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 3: Like we talked about, right, Hey, Lauren, do you know

161
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 3: pray about going to the beach? And she said, oh no,

162
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 3: we don't need to pray about it. That's exactly what

163
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 3: we want to do, right, you know. So this is

164
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 3: one of those things where it's like, Okay, this is

165
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 3: it's an honor to even be asked or considered to

166
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 3: do this. That is Jared Hudson, right, and coming out

167
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 3: He's like Wow, this is an honor to be asked

168
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 3: to do this. But God kept saying, ask your wife

169
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 3: and do what she says. And my fear was she

170
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 3: would say, don't even know, we don't even need to

171
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 3: look at it. No, absolutely not, That's what I thought

172
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 3: she would say. And after three days of not talking

173
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 3: about it, just praying separately, we came together and said, Hey, Lauren,

174
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 3: what do you think the word I keep getting is

175
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 3: taught with you? And she said, I'm apprehensive to say

176
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 3: this because I believe I know what it's going to

177
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 3: cost us, but it's going to cost us our life here,

178
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 3: which we still live here in Alabama, but I'm gonna

179
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 3: have to go to d C I if you know,

180
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 3: we win this thing and it all goes through. She

181
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 3: knew it was gonna cost us. On the campaign, she said,

182
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 3: I think this is what we're supposed to do.

183
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 2: Wow.

184
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 3: And that kind of surprised me. And that's when I

185
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 3: really started saying, Okay, Lord, what do you think one

186
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 3: thing I didn't tell you? As I started walking through

187
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 3: doors that were opened up and going through the green lights.

188
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 3: Green lights don't always mean it's God telling you to

189
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 3: do something, and red lights don't always mean, it's God

190
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 3: telling you to stop, right, So you have to be

191
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 3: discerning in that process. And so I've got green lights,

192
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 3: but I'm still like, you know, I'm just not sure

193
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 3: my wife is okay with this. This is already weird.

194
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 3: Who is this woman I'm married to? Sort of thing? Right,

195
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 3: So as we're walking through it, about four weeks into

196
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 3: this process, maybe six weeks into it, I call my

197
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 3: granddaddy and asked him. And I talked to my dad.

198
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 3: He said, you know who you could ask who's gonna

199
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 3: definitely tell you what the Holy spirit's saying. Your granddaddy.

200
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 3: My granddaddy a very solid christ falling man. He's eighty

201
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 3: five years old. He says, yeah, I don't have enough

202
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 3: enough energy to do a big garden like I always do,

203
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 3: do like seven acres of garden every year. And this

204
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 3: year then he said, I don't have enough energy to

205
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 3: do a big garden like I do. So he did

206
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 3: three acres of garden this year. There may be even

207
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 3: closer to four acres, right, So he's got so anyway,

208
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,719
Speaker 3: I say all that to say he he's a wise man.

209
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 3: He told me, he said, I'm just waiting for the

210
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 3: Lord to take me home, and I hope and pray

211
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 3: he lets me work his garden in heaven. That is

212
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 3: who this man is. He spends a lot of time

213
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 3: in the world.

214
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 2: Sewer is a sewer.

215
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 3: Yeah. So anyway, I called him and I said, Granddaddy,

216
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 3: this is what I've been asked to do. He hates politicians,

217
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 3: by the way, he does not like him, he does

218
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 3: not respect him, and he prays for our leaders in

219
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 3: this nation.

220
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: Uh.

221
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 3: But he is not a politician kind of guy. So

222
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 3: I kind of thought I knew what he would say.

223
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 3: I said, Granddaddy, I've been, you know, thinking about and

224
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 3: I've been asked what I run for the open a

225
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 3: Senate seat if coach Tommy Tuberbile runs for governor. And

226
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 3: he said, well, I like I like coach. You know,

227
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 3: I'm glad that he got in there. You know, he's

228
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 3: he's not a politician. And he said, but son, it

229
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 3: would be an honor to even be able to say

230
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 3: your grandson ran for a Senate see, whether you a

231
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 3: senator or not, it's an honor to even say, which

232
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 3: was unusual for him to say. That was the first

233
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 3: thing that stood out to me. He wouldn't normally say

234
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 3: something like that. He would say, it's an honor to

235
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 3: say your grandson was a seal. But he would say,

236
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 3: why in the world do you want to be a politician?

237
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,719
Speaker 3: All they are crooks and and and sycophants, right, and

238
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 3: they're there are four, you know, one side or the other.

239
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 3: They're not. He doesn't view them highly. And he said,

240
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 3: but I want to encourage you said just something I'm

241
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 3: thinking about son. Why don't you ask you wife and

242
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 3: do it? She says. And that really floored me because

243
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 3: that's the exact word that I got from the Lord

244
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 3: six weeks earlier. Why don't you ask your wife and

245
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 3: do it? She says. So he told me that, and

246
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 3: we walked through the doors, kept getting green lights, went

247
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 3: all the way to d C, met with a bunch

248
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 3: of people, and finally met with UH, the political UH

249
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 3: team or coordinator director I guess would be a style

250
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 3: at the at the White House. And said, look, I'm

251
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 3: just looking for red lights because I was asked to

252
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 3: do this. And I said, I'm looking for a red

253
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 3: light because if coach announces I won't I want to

254
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 3: I won't do this if I get a red light

255
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 3: from any of y'all because y'all are the y'all are

256
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 3: the deciding factors. Uh didn't talk talk to local politicians

257
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 3: here or anything like that. And I went straight to

258
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 3: the straight to the source, and the Lord opened the

259
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 3: doors for that to happen. And he said, you're not

260
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 3: going to get a red light from us, son, And

261
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 3: I said, okay. And that was, uh, that was where

262
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 3: it was left at, you know. And so I bring

263
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 3: that back to to my wife and we decide to

264
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 3: uh send this thing out out there after coach Tuverville

265
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 3: announced and uh, now it's just in full fundraising mode.

266
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 3: All were doing is turned into real politicians begging people

267
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 3: for money to support the supports campaign.

268
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: Let me let me ask you this that that first off,

269
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: thank you for being so honest with the intimacy of

270
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 1: that process. And that's that's one of the things that

271
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: I think I most admire about our friendship and who

272
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: you are as a man, is that you're so comfortable

273
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: with who you are and how you make your decisions

274
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 1: through the word and through the love of your family

275
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: and and and the people that you really care deeply

276
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: for in your life. But you know, obviously it's going

277
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: to have a profound impact on them. How are you

278
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: preparing for that impact? What are you going to do

279
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: to protect your children?

280
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 2: What are you going to do?

281
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: And let's just say, and I'm not even talking about

282
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: getting into office. We'll talk about that in a second.

283
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,079

324
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 3: you this. The termol that this has created just announcing,

325
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 3: which isn't you know, it's not like anything bad's happened,

326
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 3: but it's just a stressful thing running a business, run

327
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 3: a nonprofit. I'm not coming from a point in the

328
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 3: government because I'm not a career politician where they collect

329
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 3: a paycheck being in the government and they get to

330
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 3: go out and campaign while they collect that paycheck and

331
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 3: don't have to do their job. I'm still having to

332
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 3: do my job. I'm still having to run both coming

333
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 3: at Rescue Group and the shooting Institute as we're working

334
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 3: through this. So it's a lot of time away and

335
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 3: so it requires a lot of prayer. My wife is

336
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 3: a super strong lady. She's unbelievably rooted in the Lord

337
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 3: and what she does with what she does with our kids,

338
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 3: she does an amazing job. I just was just leaving

339
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 3: at that and so having her as my partner, as

340
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 3: my helper, as Genesis talks about that, I think is

341
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 3: the next key piece for us, one of the biggest things.

342
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 3: We've been married since we were young. I mean she was,

343
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 3: I mean I think she was nineteen when we got married,

344
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 3: and we're eighteen we started dating. I was like twenty one.

345
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 3: So we've never there's no infidelity issues. We don't have

346
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 3: any you know, baggage, not that people that have that

347
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 3: that there's not restoration and there's not hope. And I'm

348
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 3: not saying that. I'm just saying for us, we don't

349
00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 3: have any of those things that are going to be

350
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 3: really litigated in our in our lives. We're just a

351
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 3: regular you know, Alabama Christian couple who was in the military.

352
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 3: I was in the seal teams, did deployments, lost buddies

353
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 3: and you know, and and then got out of the

354
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 3: military after a short time comparatively to most people. I

355
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 3: was only on an eight year contract, right like six

356
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 3: six and a half years active and then you know,

357
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 3: your two years or your year and a half hour

358
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 3: r as I went through a medical process. So I

359
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 3: mean we've we did that part of our life and

360
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 3: now we've run a small business. I'm a law enforcement officer.

361
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 3: So we're just regular folks. We're not the political elite.

362
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 3: We're not people who have a lot of scandals. One

363
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 3: of the questions I got to ask when we're in

364
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 3: DC is like, hey, you know, I mean, you know,

365
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 3: you had a guy sit over here and he had

366
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 3: laundered like hundreds of millions of dollars from his nonprofit.

367
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 3: I busted out laughing, and I said, bro, me and

368
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 3: my wife are way too poor to ever be accused

369
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 3: of theft, you know, I mean, like, what are these

370
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 3: people do?

371
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 2: You know?

372
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 3: The worst thing we've ever done, you know, is like, hey, hey,

373
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 3: we gotta you know, we gotta go get some get

374
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 3: some snacks on the on the company credit card or

375
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 3: something like.

376
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: That, you know.

377
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, we're talking.

378
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 3: About folks that have that that that have laundered money

379
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 3: from the tax payer and have have taken money to

380
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 3: pay for campaigns from things they shouldn't. I mean, And

381
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,479
Speaker 3: I'm just saying stuff that I just read. I'm I'm

382
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 3: not talking about anybody even specifically in Alabama. I'm just

383
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 3: talking about it in general. That's what we hear. We

384
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 3: hear about all of these all of these people doing

385
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 3: these nefares things, and we we just have never done

386
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 3: any of those things. So I will say there is

387
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 3: some uh, the Bible says the wicked flea when no

388
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 3: man pursues, and that's one thing we always hear. Oh,

389
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 3: they're gonna they're gonna bring out all your skeletons or whatever.

390
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 3: We're like, I mean, we don't want them bringing out

391
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 3: everything a life, but we ain't got no skeletons. I

392
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 3: don't know what skeletons they're gonna bring out. They'll have

393
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 3: to make it up again because the wicked flea even

394
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 3: though no one pursues, and so that is I mean,

395
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 3: that's how we've prepared ourselves, and we're preparing the family

396
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 3: for this. Our girls are too young. I've been told

397
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 3: at least, hey, your kids are too young to be touched.

398
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 3: So if you're going to do this, doing it now

399
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 3: is easier than when they're in high school or even

400
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 3: early years of college, because then it's free game. So

401
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 3: they said, starting this out, if this is a career

402
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 3: path that you're going to take to try to change

403
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 3: things as a politician, started out for them now will

404
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 3: be easier on them down the road. The last thing,

405
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 3: the time, you have to be very intentional with your

406
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 3: time because you're getting pulled in a bunch of different directions.

407
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 3: And we've already noticed that two weeks into this thing.

408
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: Wow wow, all right, well thank you for explaining that,

409
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: because I think the biggest thing that everybody usually says.

410
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 2: Why would you ever want to do that?

411
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: Why would you other want to subject your family to

412
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: this whole thing? And I think you know, and that's

413
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: why you explain really detailed that explanation of that evaluation process.

414
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 1: But there is something deeper because once somebody asks you,

415
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: and now you're like, yeah, I want to do this, what.

416
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 2: Is it that you want to do?

417
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,199
Speaker 1: Like, because it's one thing a lot of people, and

418
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: I've got a list right here. You've got Chuck Grassley

419
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty one, he's been in with his you know,

420
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: people are supporting him as the Dish Network, DCI Group,

421
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: Cottingham and Butler. I've got Mitch McConnell nineteen eighty five, right,

422
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: nor Pac the Citadel, Blackstone. I've got Patty Murray nineteen

423
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: ninety three, Microsoft, Amazon, Ron Wyden ninety six, Dick Durbin

424
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: ninety seven, right, and I have all of these super

425
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: packs and all of these you know, Blackstone, Lockheed Martin

426
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: a pack. Even the states that these people represent are

427
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 1: their biggest donors. Why do you want to go and

428
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 1: participate in that world?

429
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 2: Jared?

430
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 1: If you are a man of faith, why not keep

431
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 1: doing keep saving people and rescuing people, and these I

432
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: mean for the audience that listen, if you want to

433
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: go and hear who this man is, and I highly

434
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: recommend you go listen to his interview with Sean Ryan.

435
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: It's one of my favorite interviews Sean ever did, by far,

436
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: because you really speak to the man that you are

437
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 1: and what your service is. So you know, as I

438
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: read out all these things and I listen to the

439
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: interview that you had with Sean, these seem to be

440
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 1: kind of diametrically opposite intentions of what it is you're

441
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: going to do, because you're going to go and you're

442
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: going to get around these people that are beholden to

443
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: something that's not what I hear and what I've come

444
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: to know as my friend.

445
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 2: You know, what's your mission then for going up there?

446
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 3: Well, I would say the first thing, and I know

447
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 3: you'll understand this, and so the listeners can hear. But

448
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 3: the position in this case of us, Senator, let's use that,

449
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 3: you know, since that's what I'm running for. It's a

450
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 3: force multiplier, and it's not the position itself is neither

451
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 3: good nor bad. It's neutral. Right. God stands up and

452
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 3: tears down governments, and those governments are good and bad.

453
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 3: That position of US senator is good, good or bad.

454
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 3: It takes on the face of the person that holds

455
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 3: that seat. So it can either be a force multiplier

456
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 3: for good or it can be a force multiplier for bad.

457
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 3: One of the two. The force multiplier that this is

458
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,239
Speaker 3: can be for good or bad. But the important thing

459
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 3: for us to are standing by force multiplier. What I

460
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 3: mean is it's a machine gun machine gun, and the

461
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 3: seal teams is a force multiplier. You can give one

462
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 3: seal of machine gun and he's now like four seals

463
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 3: with an M four right now. It doesn't mean we

464
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 3: don't want those four seals within fours. It just means

465
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 3: this guy can get a little more done in a

466
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,479
Speaker 3: good way for our small unit. If you give a

467
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 3: bad guy a machine gun, one bad guy with a

468
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 3: machine gun can negatively impact an entire unit of Navy seals.

469
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 3: And we've seen it seq be in a hallway, right

470
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 3: And so do you want a good guy with a

471
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 3: machine gun or do you want a bad guy with

472
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 3: a machine gun. We want a good guy with a

473
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 3: machine gun. The position of US senator is a machine gun.

474
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 3: It is a force multiplier, and you want a good

475
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 3: guy to have us. That's the first reason, because when

476
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 3: I look at it, these career politicians, as you just mentioned,

477
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 3: in my opinion, they're bad guys, even if they don't

478
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 3: have nefarious intent, because of who they're bought by, because

479
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 3: of what they've sought throughout their entire career. Everything they

480
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 3: do is political ambition. See s Lewis talks about how

481
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 3: self ambition ambition the catalyst for sin in your life.

482
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 3: It's not that striving or desiring to do a good

483
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 3: thing or to do something that elevates others in you

484
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 3: as bad. But when it becomes ambition that's in your

485
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 3: own heart, that's where it can become bad. And I

486
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 3: think for most of these individuals that you name, that's

487
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 3: where they're at. That's why they're up there till they're

488
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 3: in their eighties or nineties. And for me, just at

489
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 3: the surface level, this is not ambition. It's truly service.

490
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 3: I mean, you know me. I mean we've worked together enough,

491
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 3: you see what we do. It is really a heart

492
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 3: of service. I don't want to go to Washington, d C.

493
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 3: Every day, but what I do want to do is

494
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 3: be a representative for the people, in this case of

495
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 3: the state of Alabama because the preamble of the Constitution

496
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 3: says we the people, and as a US Senator, I'm

497
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,959
Speaker 3: supposed to go to DC on behalf of the people,

498
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 3: so that I can bring the issues of Alabamians, the

499
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 3: issues of Americans to the Capitol at Washington, d C.

500
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,479
Speaker 3: And make sure that those issues are effectively dealt with.

501
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 3: Is best we can, right because it's never going to

502
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 3: be perfect and everybody's not always going to be happy.

503
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 3: But we deal with the issues of we the people

504
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 3: at the capital to hopefully get some restitution and restoration

505
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 3: to any problems that exists and continue to elevate this

506
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 3: country and in my case, the state of Alabama. And

507
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 3: we do that at the Capitol, and we don't bring

508
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 3: all of that stupidity at the capital back to we

509
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 3: the people or the citizens of the state of Alabama.

510
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 3: And too many times we see it the other way around.

511
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 3: So that would be the first thing is I'm not

512
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 3: going to be here forever. And if I don't do

513
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 3: something now, who are we going to have in there

514
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 3: that's going to be there being there till they're Mitch

515
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 3: McConnell's age, that are going to continue to bring all

516
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 3: of the stupidity to DC back here to Alabama, bring

517
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 3: it back to my daughters, their future husbands, my future grandkids,

518
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 3: and it just it's a never ending cycle. We might

519
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 3: not even make it that long, right, I mean, we're Trump.

520
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 3: I will say the Trump administration has done a great

521
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 3: job in their first presidency of trying to turn the

522
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 3: ship around that that was cruising for you know, not

523
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 3: even cruising. It was a sinking ship. Right, we're going underwater.

524
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 3: They did the best they could. Then the Biden administration, man,

525
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 3: they put it on steroids. Let's sink this ship as

526
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 3: fast as we can. The ship in the United States

527
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 3: of America. And I believe the Trump administration is doing

528
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 3: the best they can to build water and get this

529
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 3: thing floating again. And for me, I would be a

530
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 3: fool if I didn't at least have the opportunity. If

531
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 3: I had the opportunity, I didn't at least step in

532
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 3: and try to help, I might not Ever, I might

533
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 3: not be able to forgive myself depending on what we

534
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 3: see twenty years down the road. Well, there's a long answer.

535
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, but that's that's that's why.

536
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 2: No, it's the context, man.

537
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 1: People need to understand why you're doing this, and I

538
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 1: think the hardest thing as you continue to drill down

539
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 1: on the nuance of what those issues are. Can you

540
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 1: articulate what the issues are for people.

541
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 2: From Alabama right now? What are they concern what you're

542
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 2: pulling saying?

543
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: What are the people that you are Because I know, man,

544
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 1: if I know you, you are on the phone, you are

545
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 1: talking to those people and asking them what they believe.

546
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: So what are those issues that you want to tackle

547
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: when you get up to DC.

548
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 3: Man, that's a I appreciate you asking that question. I

549
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 3: was on a forty minute phone call today with a

550
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 3: guy named Jim Weaver. Great dude, super smart dude. He's

551
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 3: a partner in one of the largest businesses in Alabama.

552
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 3: I believe they're if they're not multi billion dollar yet,

553
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 3: they're like, you know, hundreds of millions, like nine hundred million,

554
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 3: they're close to a billion. He's part of a massive

555
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 3: business and a partner in it. And one of the

556
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 3: things that he was talking to me about is, you know,

557
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 3: the economics of the big beautiful bill right and his

558
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 3: concerns with that. On the other side of that. Now,

559
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 3: he is he has worked hard to get where he is,

560
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 3: but he's in the thing of, hey, we can't print

561
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,239
Speaker 3: any more money, because it doesn't matter if you have

562
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 3: willbarrow fools of money. It doesn't matter what kind of

563
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 3: tax breaks you get. But that's where he's at on

564
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 3: the other side of the issue because of who I am.

565
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 3: I'm just a regular guy, you know, makes you know,

566
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 3: one hundred and thirty thousand dollars a year, just that

567
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 3: regular dude that you know, we make a good living man,

568
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 3: I can't complain. But my wife doesn't work. She stays

569
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,199
Speaker 3: at home with the kids. And that's honestly about what

570
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 3: it requires to live in our world nowadays, you know,

571
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 3: not even to one hundred and thirty k year for

572
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 3: a family like ours, and it's either two people in

573
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 3: the household working or one person in the household working.

574
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 3: And praise God that I'm able to work so that

575
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 3: my wife can take care of a kids. We're regular folks.

576
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 3: And when I look at it, I say, well, I

577
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 3: understand that. But I do know if these tax cuts

578
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 3: expire and it goes up five percent from what we're

579
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 3: already paying, that's going to negatively impact us right now

580
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 3: in the moment. So we're in a conundrum honestly, I mean,

581
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 3: we're You're exactly right. Five ten years down the road,

582
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 3: if the dollar continues to be devalue because were printing money,

583
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 3: that's a problem. Next year, if these Trump tax cuts expire,

584
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 3: they might not go up sixty five or seventy percent

585
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 3: or whatever the stuff I've been hearing, you know, people saying,

586
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 3: or they might not go up like that, but it's

587
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 3: going to go at five percent, and it's already hard

588
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 3: enough as it is. That's right, you know. And so

589
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 3: those are the issues that regular everyday people are talking about.

590
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 3: Whether you're in the wealthy class, or whether you're in

591
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 3: the middle class you know where I sit, or whether

592
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 3: you're in a class even lower than the middle class.

593
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:31,719
Speaker 3: I have plenty of friends that go to church with

594
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 3: us that would be considered poverty level. Sheriff's deputies here

595
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 3: are starting out making I mean sheriff's office where I

596
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 3: volunteer at and I've sworn at. They're starting out guys

597
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 3: at eighteen to twenty dollars an hour there. These guys

598
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 3: are taking care of families, serving warrants at eighteen or

599
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 3: twenty dollars an hour. Brother, that's poverty class. That's getting

600
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:57,479
Speaker 3: that's getting close to poverty level wages. These guys are

601
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 3: impacted not by the dollar bing dvat valued because we're

602
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 3: printing more. These guys are getting impacted simply by their

603
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 3: taxes going up. And so that's and now this is

604
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 3: just a big, beautiful bill, and this is just one

605
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 3: part of it. So asking Alabamians and asking people across

606
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 3: a wide spectrum of voter here, man, it's a conundrum.

607
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 3: It's kind of like, hell, we're danged if we do,

608
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 3: damed if we don't sort of thing, and trying to

609
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 3: figure out what is the best fit for that, because

610
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 3: you can either no more government spend it. I think

611
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,959
Speaker 3: we got to decrease the size of government period. I

612
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 3: love what Dog has done. I love the cutting out

613
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 3: of the bureaucracy. At the same time, we got to

614
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 3: make sure that for the regular, everyday person, most people

615
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 3: who don't have a nest egg, who don't have a

616
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 3: savings that they can lean on, are still not being

617
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 3: burdened by tax you know, in tax hypes or tax increases,

618
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 3: because inflation's going to hurt them. But what's going to

619
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 3: hurt them in this moment is having to pay taxes

620
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 3: on the tips that I make right. So what's the

621
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 3: best of both worlds? I don't know. I would say

622
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 3: the biggest thing that I found out in all this

623
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 3: everything we hear about this bill that's going through is

624
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 3: it's all opinion. It's all hearsay. I can't find the

625
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 3: bill to actually read the entire bill. I can't find

626
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 3: it anywhere. I don't know if it maybe somebody could

627
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 3: tell us where we could access this. I haven't been

628
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 3: able to get anybody to find it for me. I

629
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 3: found pieces of it that people have talked about. But

630
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 3: that is one of the biggest issues that I see

631
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 3: is that you have a fifteen hundred page or a

632
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 3: thirteen hundred page bill. There ain't a single one of

633
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 3: them senators or congressmen that are up there, and I've

634
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 3: got a lot of them that I'm friends with. There

635
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 3: ain't a single one of them that have read it all.

636
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:40,239
Speaker 3: You can't read it all. That number one is a

637
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 3: problem because everybody is Proverbs nineteen two zell without knowledge

638
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 3: calls you to miss the mark. A lot of people

639
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 3: are zealous over one specific point, but they don't actually

640
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 3: know all of the other points that are in it.

641
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 3: So I would say that's probably one of the biggest

642
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 3: things I've been talking about that I would like to change. Hey,

643
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 3: how can we have legislation that the actual legislator can read,

644
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 3: can write, can read, and vote on.

645
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 1: Well, last year, Loan Man, they several congressmen put forth

646
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: bills to say, all right, we're no more giant bills.

647
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: We're going to vote on individual issues one at a time.

648
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: But they won't even bring this stuff to votes in

649
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: the House, much less it going to the Senate. And

650
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: I saw a response last week on X that essentially

651
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: people were saying that even if they tried to codify

652
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: all the the Doge cuts, the majority.

653
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 2: Of Senate won't even touch it. They won't even bring

654
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 2: it to a vote.

655
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: And so you're going to go into this quagmire where

656
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: they're just entrenched and they know they can outweight Trump,

657
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: they know they can outweait whoever, especially if they're in

658
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: these districts where states where it's not even a second

659
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: thought Mitch McConnell, right, Nope, nobody's going to have the

660
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: campaign to run against them or as the courage or whatever.

661
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: So they just sit in these places and just wait

662
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: till that senior leadership. What is your approach, I'm sorry,

663
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: last little piece, What is your approach when you go

664
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: up there? Because one, you got to work with these people,

665
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: but two you've got to calm out and you've got

666
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: to be able to bring these things, you know, if not,

667
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: you know, and we always joke in our world, right

668
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: we're we're we're not the infantry, we're not the you know,

669
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: we're not.

670
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 2: The Marine Corps.

671
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: But what we are is we're gonna punch you in

672
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: the face and get that thing bleeding and set you

673
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: up for the downfall. And so what are you gonna

674
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: do to go up there and bring that warrior mindset

675
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: to d C specifically?

676
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, well I would say that the first thing, and

677
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 3: you you kind of mentioned it, right, Hey, they're not

678
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 3: going to bring in any They're not gonna cindify any

679
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 3: of this, any of this stuff, any of these doge cuts.

680
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 3: Right now, I am a firm believer. I'm not gonna

681
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 3: go along to get along kind of guy. But we

682
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 3: were team guys. We do have to figure out how

683
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 3: to work to complete the mission, right and so what

684
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 3: is the mission? Well, right now, the mission is you know,

685
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 3: the House and the Senate working together with the executive

686
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 3: branch to hopefully get something done that positively impacts the

687
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 3: American people, but also doesn't just positively impact them in

688
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 3: this moment that doesn't terribly negatively impact us down the road.

689
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 3: Guess what because of a lot of the guys you mentioned,

690
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 3: and because of thirty maybe even forty years I don't know,

691
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 3: maybe as it could be as long as I've been alive,

692
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 3: or maybe longer than that. For that matter of bad

693
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 3: policies and bad choices there. It's like when the water boil,

694
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 3: your chickens are coming home to Roos, Bobby Bouchet, Our

695
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 3: chickens are coming home to Roos, brother. So we're in

696
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 3: a bad situation no matter what we do. And it

697
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 3: might be that you get up. There might be that

698
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 3: get up out and say, hey, why don't we want

699
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 3: to codify these things?

700
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 1: Okay, once again apologize for the interruption with the incredible

701
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: interview with Jared Hudson. But what I want to do

702
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: is I just want to promote where you can go

703
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: to support his campaign. So the first place is Hudson

Speaker 1: donate specifically right, and you can donate in three capacities. Right, First,

709
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 1: dollars for the general election. And then you can give

710
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,760
Speaker 1: another thirty five hundred dollars if you have to spend

711
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: a runoff.

712
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 2: All right, And you.

713
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:45,959

Speaker 1: make them, make them payable to Hudson for Alabama. The

719
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: other one you can reach out to is Alabama. That's

720
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: his super pac, which is Alabama Conservatives. It's not his

721
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: super pac, but it's a super pac that supports him.

722
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: It's illegal to have super PACs connected to you, but

723
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 1: they support and want to support Jared in this capacity.

724
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: So check out Alabama Conservatives again.

725
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 2: Please. Uh you know, I have never tried.

726
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:45,240
Speaker 1: To support a raise support for any political affiliate openly

727
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: or publicly before. But this is how much I truly

728
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: believe in Jared Hudson and the impact that he's gonna

729
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 1: make in the Senate and the US Senate once he

730
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 1: becomes Senator for the great state of Alabama.

731
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 2: Thank you.

732
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 3: So we're in a bad situation no matter what we do,

733
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 3: and it might be that you get up. There might

734
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 3: be that get up and say, hey, why don't we

735
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 3: want to codify these things? And there might be a

736
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 3: really good reason behind why we can't codify these things,

737
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:16,359
Speaker 3: and being able just to present that to the voter,

738
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 3: to the people and saying, guys, this is why this

739
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:23,320
Speaker 3: can't happen. Because again I used Proverbs nineteen two earlier,

740
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 3: zeal without knowledge CAUs you to miss the mark. I

741
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 3: can be super pumped and super excited about the answer

742
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 3: that I think we should get, but if I have

743
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 3: zero knowledge about what's really going on, guess what, I'm

744
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 3: gonna miss the thing entirely. And that might be what's

745
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 3: going on right now. People get fired up when they

746
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 3: feel the negative impact of decisions that a lot of

747
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 3: them are not making. So for me, I would say

748
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 3: being able to go in as a as a true

749
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 3: man of the people because that's what I am. I'm

750
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 3: not a career politician as somebody who's not bought and

751
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 3: paid for by lobbyist and a lot of these other

752
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 3: individuals that are career politicians are bought and paid for

753
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 3: by a lot of the different lobbying firms and corporations.

754
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 3: You talked about getting up there and saying, hey, we

755
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 3: the people want to know, but also not being that

756
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,879
Speaker 3: one guy who is up there screaming and pitching a fit.

757
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 3: That's a bunch of symbolism without substance. And it's like

758
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 3: all this dude ever does is scream and cry and say,

759
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 3: you know, collusion, collusion, collusion, dirty dossier, all of the

760
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 3: crap we've heard over all the years from all these

761
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,720
Speaker 3: media talking hiss and some politicians. That doesn't get anything

762
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 3: done either. You're just a cry baby, is all you are.

763
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:40,720
Speaker 3: You know, understanding how can we effectively work to actually

764
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 3: get something done that's going to positively impact my kids,

765
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 3: your kids, our community in our case, the state of

766
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 3: Alabama and ultimately the United States of America, and when

767
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 3: in the United States of America is doing well the

768
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 3: world for that matter. The one thing I would say,

769
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 3: I don't have all the answers to everything or what

770
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 3: I would do in a certain situation, because I'm not

771
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 3: in that situation. I've never been in the same fist

772
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 3: fight or the same gun fight twice. But I do

773
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 3: understand the basics of fist fight and a gunfight, and

774
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 3: I can apply those basics to wherever I'm at. It's

775
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,839
Speaker 3: the same thing with getting into the position of a

776
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 3: US senator. It's going to be different each and every time.

777
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 3: What I do know is this the Trump administration when

778
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 3: he came in, when he won the twenty sixteen election,

779
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 3: excuse me, and we had four years of Trump. One

780
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 3: thing I do know, my company was doing a whole

781
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 3: lot better then than it is now. Life was a

782
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:41,280
Speaker 3: whole lot easier then than it is now. Not because

783
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 3: you know, not because money solves all problems. But everybody

784
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 3: say the Bible says that the money is the root

785
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 3: of all evil and all It says that money is

786
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 3: the root of all kinds of evil number one, but

787
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 3: number two in Ecclesiastes, it also says that money solves

788
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 3: a multitude of problems. And I can tell you we

789
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,320
Speaker 3: had better cash flow as a business. This it's just me,

790
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:04,919
Speaker 3: my family. When Trump was in than we do now

791
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 3: after four years of Biden, and I can tell you

792
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 3: this much, I'm going to take a hard look at

793
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:14,359
Speaker 3: what Donald Trump is saying and doing because guess what,

794
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,800
Speaker 3: He's already proven once that he can fix the problems

795
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 3: that were created by a bunch of politicians. And if

796
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 3: he's saying again, hey, I really think this is how

797
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 3: we fix these problems, I'm going to give a hard

798
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 3: look at what he's saying. Say you know what, I

799
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 3: kind of trust what he's saying a little bit more

800
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 3: than anybody else because he's been the only one that's

801
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 3: been able to fix it so far, or at least

802
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 3: set the course straight where it hasn't impacted me and

803
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 3: the people around me. That's just my front end take.

804
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 3: And that's not being a Trump sick a fan either.

805
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 3: That's just being somebody who's looked at it and said

806
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 3: this dude said he would go up here and fight

807
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,839
Speaker 3: for us, and he didn't take any money to do it.

808
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 3: He didn't gain anything. Yeah, I mean he's truly being

809
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:56,399
Speaker 3: a patriot. He didn't gain anything in going and doing this.

810
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 3: And now he's saying again this is what we need

811
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 3: to do. I'm going to lean on his wisdom in

812
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 3: those things. Because he's proven to be right already, I

813
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 3: believe he'll probably prove himself to be right again.

814
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:12,800
Speaker 2: Well that's for me, that was everything.

815
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm friends with people you know, that were

816
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,919
Speaker 1: participated in his original campaign, that are good friends with him,

817
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 1: that were business partners with him for a long time.

818
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: And the one thing they always say is a guy

819
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 1: that has a twenty five million dollar legal bill every

820
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 1: single month and has had every single thing thrown at

821
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 1: him from every type of indictment, every type of this

822
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:41,240
Speaker 1: tried an assassination time twice. To me, that's the guy

823
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: that they don't want up there right exactly.

824
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 3: I mean, you're hitting the nail on the head. And

825
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 3: it's like the tariff stuff. Got a lot of buddies.

826
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 3: It hurt our business, got a lot of buddies that say, yeah, man,

827
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 3: we're feeling it. A lot of buddies that are farmers

828
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 3: that said, we're filling the tariff's issues. But they said,

829
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 3: we understand and why it's got to happen. It's kind

830
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 3: of like doing squats when you work out, right, when

831
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 3: you do squats, they're absolutely terrible. Doing squats is no fun.

832
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 3: But guess what if I do squats for three weeks,

833
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,359
Speaker 3: I'm gonna build my legs on and get better. That

834
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 3: friction creates a level of strength, right, and that's what

835
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 3: we're trying to do. The friction creating a level of

836
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 3: strength in US economically, I think, is what we see

837
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:30,320
Speaker 3: taking place right now. It's not always going to be easy,

838
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 3: and that's what everybody wants. Everybody wants to push the

839
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 3: button in it be an easy fix. We live in

840
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 3: a microwave society. That's not going to work, y'all. I'm

841
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 3: not gonna be able to go to DC and push

842
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 3: a button and all of a sudden microwave something as

843
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 3: a US senator and say, oh, yeah, it's all fixed

844
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,879
Speaker 3: where it's better. But what we can do is one

845
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 3: make it to where we can breathe a little bit now.

846
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 3: And I believe the Trump administration is trying to do that,

847
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 3: and I believe that that is their aim, their heart,

848
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 3: their goal, and I believe that they'll be successful in

849
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 3: it because they've already been successful in it once before.

850
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 3: The other thing is is the not just what the

851
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:09,320
Speaker 3: Trump administration is doing, but in what we do as

852
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:13,799
Speaker 3: the people of the United States of America have to

853
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 3: understand that right now, we're planting trees knowing that we

854
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 3: will never sit in the shade. These trees that we're

855
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 3: planting are not for us. Me going to Washington, d C.

856
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 3: Will not be for me. It will be for my

857
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 3: kids and my grandkids. These career politicians, they want whatever

858
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 3: they can have now. They plant the tree now, and

859
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 3: they pillage it as soon as they can, and they

860
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 3: leave nothing for our future, for our kids. And I

861
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 3: don't want that. That's you know, So I don't know,

862
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 3: I don't know if that makes any sense, but that's

863
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 3: my heart.

864
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: Turnmat all right, last question, because I know you're busy, man,

865
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:52,319
Speaker 1: How are you gonna select the people that you have

866
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 1: on your team? And how are you gonna how are

867
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 1: you gonna guarantee that the people of Alabama that you

868
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,839
Speaker 1: are not going to be corrupted, that you're not going

869
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 1: to get up there and have these these packs, these

870
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 1: lobby firms come at you with insane amount of temptation.

871
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:15,760
Speaker 1: You know, how are you going to select that team?

872
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:17,360
Speaker 1: How are you gonna and then how are you going

873
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 1: to fight that that temptation? Oh?

874
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 3: Absolutely, well, you know the biggest thing would be fighting

875
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 3: that temptation right now. What we see, at least with

876
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,399
Speaker 3: the people that are in the in the race with

877
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 3: me right now, that's what they have behind them, their

878
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 3: career politicians, that's who's funding them, that's who's doing them

879
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:38,800
Speaker 3: and doing their They're they're you know, pushing them forward

880
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 3: right elevating those people.

881
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 2: Uh.

882
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 3: For me, I don't have that. I have the people.

883
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 3: I mean, we are strictly trying to do a grassroots

884
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 3: fund raising effort to get there. I was told they

885
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 3: two million dollars will go further for you than then

886
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 3: ten million will go for some of these other people

887
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:57,360
Speaker 3: that have talked about running or that are running. I

888
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 3: would prefer to get two million one dollar donations than

889
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 3: one to million dollar check. They spend the same way,

890
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 3: but they're two completely different things. As a representative of

891
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 3: the people, I am beholden to the people. That's the

892
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 3: that's the first thing. You're beholden to the people that

893
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 3: you're that you've been elected to represent, not to those

894
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 3: who write you a paycheck on the side. And that's

895
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 3: oftentimes what we see. Now here's the deal for me.

896
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 3: Everybody says, well, how do we know It's easy to

897
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 3: say that, but how do you know you won't do it? Well,

898
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 3: you can look at what I've done in my life, right,

899
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:35,439
Speaker 3: and I've at least proven it with what we've done

900
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 3: with Covenant Rescue Group. I've been offered a lot of

901
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 3: money to do a lot of things that we that

902
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 3: somebody shouldn't do. Does that make sense? You haven't taken

903
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:48,839
Speaker 3: it yet. That's all I can say. The other thing

904
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 3: is I answer to God when I die. I'm not

905
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 3: going to stand before God. And he said, why should

906
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,839
Speaker 3: I let you into my heaven? Well, Dave Rutherford told

907
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 3: me this, that's not gonna be good enough. Right, Well,

908
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 3: this guy wrote me a paycheck for this, that's not

909
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 3: good enough. The Bible tells us a bribe perverts all justice.

910
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 3: And I know that you probably have listeners out there like, hey,

911
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 3: I don't want some Bible thumping guy up there. Well

912
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 3: I appreciate that, but understand that when you believe what

913
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,800
Speaker 3: I believe, you believe that you are answering to something

914
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 3: greater than yourself. And the thing that I'm answering to

915
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 3: greater than myself is God. God will only put me

916
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 3: in a place or remove me from a place, depending

917
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 3: on if I follow his commandments, and what are his commandments?

918
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 3: Love the Lord God with all your heart, soul, mind,

919
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 3: and strength. Elevate something over you. And love your neighbor

920
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 3: as yourself, meaning I love the person that I'm elected

921
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 3: to represent at least equally with me. I don't have

922
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 3: to elevate somebody else over the other person. I just

923
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:51,240
Speaker 3: have to love you the same as I love myself.

924
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 3: And if you do those two things, all of the law,

925
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 3: everything that we see hinges on, all of that. That's

926
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,399
Speaker 3: what Jesus tells us. Not I believe it's true. Now.

927
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 3: I believe Jesus of the savior of the world. And

928
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 3: the reason he said that is because God comes first

929
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 3: and then man. However, let's say you don't believe that.

930
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 3: I think you can agree with those principles. There's something

931
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 3: more important than Jared Hudson, and at a minimum, I

932
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 3: can put you on the same plan field as me.

933
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 3: Most of these people that are political elites, they think

934
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:20,879
Speaker 3: that they're the kings and queens of this country. They

935
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 3: are not. You are the king and the queen of

936
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:24,840
Speaker 3: this country. You are the king and queen. In my

937
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 3: case of the state of Alabama, you the voter, we

938
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,720
Speaker 3: the people are the kings and queens, and we cast

939
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 3: our a vote to elect a representative, an official who's

940
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:40,280
Speaker 3: going to carry out our will, the will of the people.

941
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 3: And what is the will of the people will? It

942
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:46,360
Speaker 3: should be that everybody has their constitutional rights upheld and

943
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 3: protected that are not given to us by government, but

944
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:50,799
Speaker 3: are that are given to us by God, and that

945
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 3: are codified in the US Constitution, in particular the Bill

946
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 3: of Rights, the first ten Amendments of the US Constitution.

947
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,719
Speaker 3: So that's what I intend to go do. That's what

948
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 3: I seek to do. And I think if you hold

949
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 3: of that, hold to God, hold of the Constitution, hold

950
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 3: upholding the will of the people, right, not the whims

951
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:10,799
Speaker 3: of the people, those are two different things, but the

952
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 3: will of the people, then I believe that we I

953
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 3: believe that we can have a positive impact. And that's

954
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:20,319
Speaker 3: how you keep from being bribed into wickedness and you

955
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 3: uphold truth and justice.

956
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:28,479
Speaker 1: Amen, all right, Jared? Where can people follow you? Where

1000
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:38,800

1002
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:44,120
