25 segmentsNow time for the seven things you'll be talking about today. Number seven. NCAA President Charlie Baker says the organization is not in a position to further sanction Alabama for playing Charles Mediaco. Mediaco, I don't know, during his temporary eligibility issue under a court order. as losing in court does not allow punishment of the winning party. And so Alabama's three wins will remain intact with no record vacating required despite teams like Texas A&M whining about it and saying, hey, what about us? We had to play this guy that's not eligible and we lost. That's not fair. I think they're kind of right. I'll be honest. I think that's... But here's another argument. My Florida Gators, who whooped them with Bettyaco, they should get extra points for winning. Number six. Central Alabama Waterworks. Surprise all of its employees with random mandatory drug tests the day after the Super Bowl. I think I hear Kelsey running out of the building right now. They ended up firing numerous workers who failed or refused to take the test under a new zero tolerance policy for public safety and water services. Wait a second. Are you telling me that government employees are not required to take drug tests? Especially those who are doing stuff with the waterworks? Isn't that like manual? Is there manual labor involved in a lot of that? Okay. Critics like Jefferson County Commissioner Sheila Tyson called the timing suspicious because there's a lot of critics of what the Central Alabama Waterworks has done. And so, yeah, I don't know. Drug Test your employees. That's fine. Number five. The University of Montevallo indefinitely postponed a turning point USA pick up the mic event. Featuring 1819 News founder Brian Dawson, who due to a safety concern from planned campus walkouts and threats against the founder of 1819 News? I got to tell you, you cannot give into this kind of stuff. You just cannot do it. The correct answer is to tell these kids if you do this stuff and you disrupt free speech on a college campus, you're going to be in trouble. But they have now indefinitely suspended this event, which is completely out of line and completely unacceptable. But that's what they've done. Gee, you're not really beating the left as violent allegations when you have to cancel events because, you know, the left is violent. Number four. U.S. Representative Dale Strong, Republican out of Huntsville, the 5th Congressional District, raised $833,000 in 2025 with $1.07 million cash on hand for his reelection campaign. But the media loves these stories. They did this with Doug Jay Jones the other day.
And they said Doug Jay Jones outraised Tommy Tuberville. It's like, okay, how much money does Tommy Tuberville have? I don't know, like $7 million. How much does Doug Jay Jones have? I don't know, not even enough to buy a suit that fits. But Democratic challenger Andrew Sneat, not Jeremy DeVito, who is an irrelevant idiot, who still. Has not said if the debate he claimed we were going to have. A race, $347,000 with $204,000 cash on hand. But man, he is trailing significantly while the media tries to make this an issue. They need a race that they can pretend as close. I guess this is the one they're going to try to do that too. Number three. An Alabama poll shows President Donald Trump is very popular. But. It also shows that he is less influential than Katie Britt. Michael Lowry, founder of the Alabama poll, released the new poll showing that while Alabamians have a favorable opinion of Trump when it comes to endorsements, Katie Britt has more power. This is a quote. Well, President Trump's endorsement of Congressman Barry Moore and John Wall have dominated. Katie Britt endorsement actually tests stronger with ALGOP primary voters. I don't expect very much out of Katie Britt endorsements, meaning I don't expect her to do any of them, especially in contrast to what Donald Trump is doing. But I've been surprised before, so we'll see what she does. I don't think she'll be going and crossing Donald Trump anytime soon. Number two. Governor-elect, national championship winning coach, United States Senator Tommy Tuberville, urged Senate Republicans to pass the Save Act immediately, calling it one of the most critical bills in their lifetime by requiring photo ID. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. And I got to tell you, I agree with him. I agree. The bill would require photo ID for federal voting. You're hearing a lot of talk from liars saying it will force women off the rolls. A married woman could not possibly vote. And black people, have you ever seen them try to get IDs? I got to tell you, they can't do it. which is insane. You will not need a passport to vote or any of these other things. This is all a lie. You need proof of citizenship for registration, which we should do. So I don't really see what the problem is, but it faces an uphill battle. Now, time for the number one thing you'll be talking about today. More unredacted Epstein files have been released, naming Six Min. Victoria Secrets founder, a Sultan, a CEO of DP World, whatever that is, an Emerity billionaire businessman, and four others identified, and they gave their names as well. So that sounds a little bit more like a real problem for these individuals. But isn't it interesting?
Isn't it interesting? And maybe I'm crazy. Isn't it interesting to see that Donald Trump is continuously mentioned in these stories? And even in this, U.S. Representative Jamie Raskin of Wisconsin comes out and says Donald Trump's mentioned over a million times in these documents. It's like, oh my God, really? Wow. You should really lay out. what Donald Trump did. You need to tell us. You need to tell us, tell us. Come on, we need, we need to know. We need to know right now. What is it? Tell me what it is. No? Oh, okay. But he's in there a million times. Okay. What am I supposed to do with this? What am I supposed to do with this information then? Oh, you just wanted to say that he's in there a million times. Okay. Isn't it interesting that again, once again, A million times he's mentioned. Well, how many times is he mentioned as being a pedophile? I mean, just if there's a million mentions, tell me what they are. And I know you could give me like the, he chopped the head off of a baby and threw it in Lake Michigan. We've heard that story. Totally real. Totally real. Not at all made up stuff. But yeah, please continue smearing people. Nothing that works. But you don't really care. You're just out here telling these stories still. These people cannot stop lying. They just can't. And even when they're not outright lying, they're still being dishonest. So good luck, everybody. Good luck. The abscifiles, he's mentioned a million times. That means he's a pedophile. That's the moral of the story. And even when he's not, it's because they're covering it up. They got them. Heads, you win, tails, I lose. That's just the way it is. Let's take a quick time out.
