And by the way, thank you very much, everyone, who has reached out. There have been a lot of people who have some people who... This is funny. I'll get messages from people who tell me that they hate me.
But they're also worried about me. So get it straight. Do you want me to die or do you not want me to never die? Those are sort of the issues. Anyway, the doctors told me that I'm good. No more colonoscis for 10 years. This one was just a little, hey, you need to get a colonoscopy because you're old. I said, OK, I will do just that. And they said, I'm fine. So I'm fine. Thank you very much for your concern. And now we move on to the things that are happening in this world. Federal government employees being told, hey,
get in or get out that they're being suggested to leave if they don't like what's happening illegal immigrants are being told to get out. That's happening. And I'm telling you that we're going to get into the seven things here in just a moment. Personally, tell you about my friends over there at the Alabama men's clinic, Alabama men's clinic.com.

When you do, of course, make sure you tell them you heard about it right here on news of use in the Dale Jackson sent you. All right. Let's get to it and decide for the often duplicated never replicated the most critically acclaimed segment here on
news and views brought to you by Alabama's most trusted journalist. It's the seven things you should be talking about today. The seven things you should be talking about today. Number seven. This is an amazing story out of Dothan, Alabama. A female juvenile was in the middle of a kidnapping attempt. She was almost kidnapped. And luckily hotel staff saw this and intervened.
a forty six-year-old man steven heirs uh... was arrested at a hotel uh... in dothan alabama after uh... the victim reported this is uh... after they had caught him the unwanted sexual advances touch her inappropriately and forced her into a hotel room which he tried to leave
He was charged with first degree kidnapping and sexual abuse. It is being held without bond at the Houston County Jail. Now why was a minor at a hotel in Dothan, Alabama where a guy could grab her and throw her in the room? I don't know the answer to that question. It's not really important. But the reality of this is this guy off the street and somebody saw something happening stepped in and stopped it. That's a very important thing. They should be honored for that.
Number six, crime stoppers Metro credited 135 public tips for helping law enforcement identify Damien McDaniel. This is an individual who has been charged with a lot of crimes in the Birmingham Metro. Why? Well, because he's the guy who shot up the lounge there at five points south and another shooting that
apparently having 11 deaths all included 29 injuries. I mean, this guy, a monster. Anyway, he's been charged with 37 felities. The crime stoppers got 135 different tips on that. The organization has facilitated over 3000 arrests through anonymous tips. So it's nice to see a little positive stuff here about people helping.
So apparently not all stitches get stitches because in this case they get cash rewards and they're honoring them because it's a good tip for law enforcement. It helps them catch the bad guys. So they're talking about that and it's good. Good for good for Birmingham. Number five.
I always thought it was funny to watch Alabama politicians celebrate school choice week mostly because they had opportunities to do real school choice in the state and chose not to. Well, this year is a little different. They had an opportunity to do real school choice in the state and they did. Yeah. Now there's a celebration going on of National School Choice Week. Eligible students here in the great state of Alabama can get up to $7,000 annually for private or parochial school tuition.
or $2,000 for homeschooling expenses. You're hearing about all the problems with no good, local, city school board members, some alleged crack dealers, or sorry, drug dealers, didn't deal crack. Rhyme Robbins accused of dealing marijuana, I apologize for that. And people who want more drag queens in schools, they're very upset about the idea that somebody's going in
to places that aren't government schools. So they're very sad about it. You might hear about how all that money's going away, and they're very sad. Oh, so sad. Number four. Furthering his commitment to national security, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to create a large-scale
Multi-layered iron dome missile defense system to protect the United States from threats like ballistic hypersonic and cruise missiles with all components developed domestically now Israel is a much smaller country So their iron dome thing is a little more practical. This seems wildly impractical. I'm just gonna be completely honest. It seems wildly impractical, but
This is the conversation they're having. Trump highlighted the success of Israel's missile system as inspiration and appointed defense secretary Pete Hanksett to lead the initiative. Congressman Dale Strong expressed full support for this. Noting the rest of Arsenal and North Alabama are ready to contribute to the program's development and deployment and they absolutely will. So again, we'll talk about buyouts here in a second. If I was in the defense industry in North Alabama, I would suggest that you look towards taking that buyout.
number three in a sweeping and controversial but that it quotes move President Donald Trump is offering buyouts I was just talking about those two millions of federal employees who resigned by Thursday February 6th
as part of a larger effort to overhaul the federal workforce and enforce in office attendance. The administration expects 5 to 10% of government employees to accept the offer. That seems like a really, really big number.
Most of these people are expected to be in Washington DC, obviously. Unions are saying, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Number two the Trump administration's abrupt federal spending freeze has been paused by a judge until like Monday
It's intended to align with recent executive orders targeting foreign aid and diversity programs. It caused chaos and threatened the interruption of the central services like Medicaid, et cetera. You don't like to call this? Ready? I've been using this term a lot and you may have heard it in the news. Malicious compliance. The executive order goes out and all of a sudden I find that we'll just shut down all the Medicaid portals. That's what we'll do because Medicaid and then they're like, no, you got to reopen those Medicaid portal.
And everyone pretends, well, they had nothing to do with that bullcrap. This is malicious compliance. The decision is caused confusion nationwide as local government schools and nonprofits scrambled to understand the impact. On the news, they're saying the Head Start programs were closed out this morning. Find me a Head Start program that has been closed out this morning. Put that on the news. That is garbage and just talk. The critics will why the critics will dash their teeth. They don't matter.
And now time for the number one thing you should be talking about today. It looks like President Donald Trump's nationwide mass deportation plans have led to multiple.
Arrest here the great state of Alabama that with ice-detaining individuals in Voltenale and Huntsville Sometimes beyond the original warts and by the way, I love this stuff that you're hearing from the media They're arresting people who aren't criminals just because they're with them. So let me see if I understand this correctly. I just want to make sure I understand this
They're targeting criminals that they already know where they are who have done other things besides entering the country. When they go to get them, they find other people there who are also illegal and they arrest them as well. And I'm supposed to feel bad for them. They're running around with criminals? Who runs around with other criminals? Do you know? Who runs around with other criminals? What do you call those people?
Usually criminals. That's who runs around with other criminals. Like-minded people run around with like-minded people. That's how all of this usually works. So criminals running with criminals. And I think if you roll in, you're like, hey, this guy raped three people and then they let him out of jail. And now we found him here living in this place. And there's six other people there who are also illegal. Like you're living with a rapist and you're illegal. Your judgment's bad. Out.
that I think that's completely fine. Local officials including Mobile County Sheriff Paul Birch have pledged full cooperation offering transport and jail space for detained immigrants as Trump increases ice quotas to at least 1200 per day. That's awesome. Immigration advocates warn that conditions are becoming increasingly perilous urging undocumented residents to remain cautious.
as in as the enforcement intensifies statewide. Hey, listen, you know what you should do? I'm going to be an immigration advocate here for a second. Advocate, put it in quotes there. You should leave. You know what you should do? You should you should leave the country. That would be the right thing to you probably need to leave the country because this is getting very perilous for you. It's increasingly perilous that you might be punished for your crimes.
So I think the best thing for you to do would be to get the hell out of my country. That would be the best thing for you to do. So just go ahead and leave. And you know what? If you left this country right now, you would deny Donald Trump the numbers that he's going to tout for how many people he's arrested. So it's sort of like another way to really stick it to Donald Trump, right? You just leave the country on your own that Donald Trump can't arrest you. You'll show him.
But the advocates are telling them, don't open your door. Don't do all putting cops at risk by the way by doing this. And they're doing all these things where they're like, Oh, these poor illegals.
I feel, I'd say I feel bad for them, but I think it's more likely that I feel nothing for them. That would probably be the more accurate thing. It reminds me of the scene in Mad Men where people were the guys in the elevator with with Don Draper and he's like, you know, every time I think about you, I feel really sad for you. And the Don Draper looks at that guy and goes, he's dead. Most of you, by the way, from how I met your mother. And he turns to him and he goes, well, I don't think about you at all.
And that's that's essentially where I am with these illegals. I just feel bad that you think this is what our country's become. Well, cool. I don't think about you at all. I am glad that they're deporting these people. I know I'm off on a little tangent here. That's okay. Then because we're about to take a quick break here, but you can weigh in right here right now. It is all very simple. Get your questions in for 10 with him by talking or texting your questions right here. 205 5 5 at 9 9
five zero. That's two oh five five four five nine nine five zero. Don't forget Matt Murphy will be with us here in just a bit as well. We'll talk with him about all these evil things that the government's doing that everyone should be freaking out about. Oh, we'll continue right here. I'm Dale Jackson. This is the fastest hour of radio anywhere on your radio dial.
It is the fastest hour of radio anywhere on your radio dial. And I got to tell you, the level of commitment that I have to you, the listeners and to this profession is second to none. I got to tell you, you couldn't give me a buyout to make me walk away from this for anything. I just, I love it too much. And I just, yeah, they don't do buyouts in my business. They just say, hey, go away. That's usually how it works in ours. But there's a big freak out happening, two of them right now.
one over the federal spending freeze, which is the phoniest freak out imaginable malicious compliance. It was used by Katie Britt. She was right when she said it about the Tuskegee airman thing. And she's right. Well, she hasn't said it about this, but if she said it about this, she'd be correct on that as well. Before we jump into all of that, I will tell you a little bit about my colonoscopy yesterday because I know a lot of you are just dying to know. Here's a couple of things I noticed about my colonoscopy.
A lot of people! A lot of people!
Reach out to me and say, Hey, I hope your colonoscopy goes well. I hope you're feeling better. They, you know, I had a colonoscopy. I found polyps or whatever this that lots of people. When you talk about colonoscis, people come out of the woodwork to talk about it. Even one person who said, I hate your show, but I hope you're doing okay. So that's nice. And I appreciate that. I do. You can send those kinds of messages right now at 205-545-9950. Talk or text, get your questions in for 10 with him. But yeah, the people who did my colonoscopy did a fantastic job.
They told me they were listeners to my part two of them told me they were listeners of my program while they were prepping me Steve let me ask you a question How awkward is that? It's a little awkward to think that they would actually know you and then all of a sudden you know be that kind of personal
It's like, hey, listen to your show. Allow me to shove this snake up your backside and do a call and ask. It was so weird. It was so weird. And, you know, again, I appreciate them. I do. And I like it when we have those conversations with people. You know, I do appreciate them listening. And of course, I'm glad they do listen, obviously, but it's just it was incredibly weird to know.
And they're like, oh, this guy tomorrow on the radio. But here's a picture of his colon. And yeah, here's a little tube. And it was just, it was definitely something. But for those who don't know, and I don't know why you would know this all as well, no problems found. They told me I don't need to do another colonoscopy for 10 years. They told me that immediately. So they didn't have anything they needed to think about or look at or anything like that. So all health.
is good on that front. This is just a normal everyday sort of thing. So I do appreciate it for pre focal filling in for me yesterday. And all of you for your kind words. It sucked by the way, not not the actual colonoscopy. That was great from that moment on from the moment that gas hit me.
To the moment I got home, everything, the world changed 100 degrees because I was miserable up to that moment. I had been up all night going to the bathroom, which was terrible if all of you, Steve, have you ever done a colonoscopy? Yes, the prep is by far the worst part. Oh, my God, the nap that you take is awesome. I felt really, absolutely. It's an expensive nap, but it's a nice nap.
Right. And so I felt great of that. Did you feel really cold during your prep? I'm always cold though. Oh my God. That's another thing entirely. I am not normally cold. But my mom was staying over at the house because she was going to take me and sit with me at the thing. And she said it was so hot in the house. She couldn't sleep. Glad crank the heat up because I was I mean I was freezing and I when I went to the doctor the next morning I said look.
I don't know if there's like a symptom of this or something, but I am freezing and they're like, yeah, that happens to some people. They just get really cold through the prep and it just, it messes with their body and it makes them freezing. And I was freezing, but I was miserable. I had a headache because you can't drink, you know, cokes or energy drinks and you can't eat anything and all the other stuff. So yesterday I had, um,
a double flay of fish combo meal large size afterwards it was delightful felt amazing so anyway that is my colonoscopy story all is well thank you very much to everyone who sent kind words and everyone who was mean about it we'll get to you at 10 with him so a lot of you have mean questions you wanted to ask and we'll get to all of those here in just a bit if you want to put some stuff in for 10 with him you can do so like I said 2055459950
Let's talk about the malicious compliance inside the federal government. They're trying attempting to cause as much pain as they possibly can. They have a budget freeze on grants and loans and things like that. So what do they do? Democrats around the country run around and shut down all of the Medicaid portals and things like that. So what happens? And look, we've seen this before. When we had a government shutdown, what did they do? They decided they were going to go and do what?
They were going to shut down private or should be public parks and monuments and things like this. Why were they doing that? Because they have to? No, because they wanted to punish you. And that's all this is. This is about punishing people and making them mad about the government funding freeze. It doesn't have to be this way. It's malicious compliance. They're trying their best.
to figure out a way to hurt you so you'll be mad at the current president. That's all this is. There is no surprise about that. Everyone should understand it. And if you don't, I feel for you because this is such an easy play that they're doing that if you fell for it, you're dumb. I mean, there's another way to put this. You're just dumb.
If you fell for this, you are dumb. The things that are being canceled are all these, this money that goes to NGOs and all this, and I'm saying that all of them don't do good work. Some of them, I'm sure do. But $50 million for condoms and Gaza? Yeah, that's a bit of a problem. Should we be paying for that? No. And this is just a reality of life. They need to align the current
spending priorities of the federal government with the current administration. And government employees who are inside the government saying, oh, I don't want to do this. So they're acting maliciously, malicious compliance. They need to take the buyout and go. And trust me, I've got a federal government employee white.
They're freaking out about return to work. They're freaking out about this buyout. Good. If you don't like it, leave. We'll talk more about that with Matt Murphy when we return right here on News and Views. Yes, I am Dale Jackson. Yes, I'm back. I'm leaner. I'm meaner. I'm lighter. They got all the crap out of me, so I'm way so much less. What a visual. We'll be back. It's the fastest hour of radio anywhere on your radio dial.
It is the fastest hour of radio anywhere on your radio dials news and views. I am Dale Jackson. Our guests now Matt Murphy, W. T. N. Nashville. We appreciate him being here formerly Birmingham Montgomery Huntsville. He's on all the radio stations actually been on all the radio stations. This show airs on Matt Murphy has had a show on at some point.
in time. So we appreciate him being here. He's been on news radio 1440 down in Montgomery on top 95 in Birmingham and on WVNN in North Alabama. Matt, I got a question for you about this Robert F Kennedy Jr. thing. There's two of them. Number one. Are you surprised that he's not an anti-vaxxer that his kids are vaccinated? I am. Are you? No.
I mean, why not? I don't know that. I mean, I don't know. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., I don't know that he's necessarily anti-vaccine. By the way, Dale, hello. Good to talk to you again. I would suggest that the fact that I've been on every one of those radio stations in Alabama is the definition of having the ability to fail upward.
Uh, which I'm very proud of. But anyway, so I don't know. I don't know that Robert F Kennedy Junior is anti vaccination. I think Robert F Kennedy Junior is anti big pharma. He's anti big government help and he's against not telling the whole truth.
to family members who are considering whether or not to get their children vaccinated. Now, he has said that he regretted getting his kids vaccinated. And I think that regret is born out of that concept that he would like everyone to know what the hell is inside of vaccine, what the risk factors are, and he feels like that.
the medical community has not necessarily been as truthful as possible in that regard. I mean, similar to the way that, I mean, he said at the beginning of his testimony today, he said, look, I'm not anti big Mac. I'm not anti-Mc Donald Tamberger and fries. As a matter of fact, my boss kind of happens to like them. I just want everyone to know what they're eating before they eat it. And I think he probably feels the same way about vaccines.
I think it's a fair position for him to have, but I just had to be honest with, like, when I heard that, I was like, wait a second, he always struck me as the anti-vaccine kind of cooke before his, well, and look, his and Trump's relation before we get into this, him and Trump's relation is very transactional in nature. You know, RFK was out there running the COVID vaccine, I think was a big point of conflict that they both agreed on, like the, especially the
I don't think Trump was an operational war speed guy. But I don't think Trump wanted to force people to get the vaccine and stuff like that. That was a much different situation that people jumped on. And I think they agreed on that. But I just don't think they traditionally agree on a lot of things. So the relationship is kind of transactional. He was an odd pick for this. But I mean, he's there because he brought votes and Donald Trump thought that it helped him. And there's nothing wrong with that. That's part of the deal where you're trying to build a coalition to get things done.
And I think this is going to be one of the more interesting confirmation processes. Do you think that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gets confirmed or is he is he the biggest question mark out of all the confirmation pieces? I mean, I think Tulsi Gabbard is maybe a bigger question mark and I do think Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gets confirmed.
I think similarly to Pete Exit, we see that you can have a defection or two and still maintain a majority needed to get him confirmed. And I wouldn't be surprised if a Democrat or two did not join in on that confirmation. And I want to go back to the idea of transactional relationships. I agree with you 100%. I think Donald Trump saw an area in governance.
that he did not necessarily know a lot about nor did he have a lot of interest in. And I think Donald Trump very much felt like he has been duped by people like Anthony Fauci and others at the NIH and the CDC during COVID-19. I felt like he did not believe that he was getting the whole truth. And so I think he made a decision that he would put somebody in place that would upset the apple cart. And I think that is his modus operandi on all of this.
He wants to make sure that Washington DC understands from the jump that there are no sacred cows anymore, and there are a lot of Washington DC bureaucrats that think that they are that sacred cow, whether it be the FBI, the Department of Justice, the NIH, or some of these health organizations, they think, well, he can go after anybody else, he can't touch us. And I'll try to put everybody on notice that nothing is sacred in Washington DC in terms
of getting our budget under control and upstanding government to the point that is more sponsored to be yeah i i agree with that completely completely greater than just what you know the budget freezing let's talk about that for a second
I think this is malicious compliance. You know, I talk with Kenny Britz people a couple days ago about the Tuskegee airman, and I'm not saying I gave them the phrase malicious compliance to use, but I did. And I think that I think that's what this is here. There's a spending freeze, and you have all these bureaucrats going, oh, OK, well then we're going to shut it. We just have to shut everything down. And they do that to cause pain.
of the
going in and taking out programs that do not align with this president's agenda being on sexual, racial, environmental or whatever, it wasn't about punishing the end user of the American welfare system and other things like that, student loans and stuff, but the government apparatus, the deep state, decide to hit all the levers they could to cause chaos. Is this malicious compliance?
Oh yeah, no, I think it's a good phrase. I think you're dead on it. And I'll take it a step backwards as to how all of this started. And it reminds me in the way that you describe it. Remember when there was a government shutdown of Barack Obama knew that he could put in on the Republicans? So he shut down historical monuments in the National Mall that never had any monitoring of them anyway. They put barricades, right? They did more work in quote unquote, shutting them down than there would have been involved in leaving them open. And they did that just because they knew the media would cover it.
And it's the same thing that's going on with these Democrats and these bureaucrats today. But a step further on the first day of his presidency.
Donald Trump signed an executive order declaring that all of these executive administrative offices are officially under review and all of them are going to be under the microscope as to how they spend their money and what happened these bureaucracies began spending money on purpose dumping money into these NGOs and these other entities on purpose because they knew that the possibility existed that they would be shut down so they were
the American taxpayer for billions of dollars just because Donald Trump said, hey, we're going to review your departments. We're going to make sure you're spending the taxpayer dollars appropriately. And so what did Donald Trump's administration do? He responded in the way that he should have and said, stop spending this money. We've already told you that we're going to review you. You need to stop spending this money maliciously, your word, Dale, so that we can review the process. And in turn, they began flipping off switches
because they are children and they think they are immune from government oversight and they obviously are not okay so this uh... a continuation of this issue here and i think that i think all these issues can be tied together if you want to be honest about it i have a uh... federal government employee wife i have a lot of federal government employee friends because i live in hunsville alabama where there's redstone arsenal partial and all sorts of other stuff space command will be here as well
And there's a lot of talk about these buyouts. And basically the way I read these buyouts is this. If you don't like it here, you can leave and we'll pay you until September for you to do so. For some reason, this also is causing freakouts. And they don't want to do that because A, they know it's very hard to get rid of government employees. That's number one. And two, they also don't want to go back to work and go back to return to the office. There was a story in the New York Times.
And they quoted a woman who gave her. This is how entitled government employees are. They quoted a woman who gave her name to the New York Times, who works in Huntsville, Alabama, who during COVID moved to Nashville and is working remotely. And she is now upset that they're saying you have to come back to work as opposed to showing up once every month to check in, which is what they were having to do before.
and she was mad that the diversity programs like deaf people and veterans all those other stuff giving speeches to them over zoom have been cut as well so she's quitting now she announced she's quitting by name in the new york times she said it and now
she's not going to be able to get this money apparently or maybe she is that to not work until sept or to work until september or not work accordingly till september but you have all these entitled government employees who are doing all of these things where they're just saying we're we know better because we're is that the deep state is that what we're talking about was that what it is exactly what it is that we are demonstrating and if Donald Trump is doing anything else at the beginning of his first term he's demonstrating how deep
These entitled snotty elitist, pointy-headed geeks really, how deep this really goes. I mean, let's take it a step further, Dale. There's another example. When your boss in Huntsville or our boss with cumulus
determines that they want the company to have information and they don't want that information to be confused in any form or fashion. They send out a company-wide email. Our boss, Mary Burner, the CEO of Cumulus, has an ability to send out an email to every person within the company.
So Donald Trump comes in and his administration says, we want to be able to send an email to every person within the federal government, all 2.3 million of them. That seems efficient, right? If we really want to get a message to our employees, we're going to send it to them directly. We're not going to send it to this department head or that department head and play a game of telephone. And they are being sued. The Trump administration is being sued by federal employees because they say that
The boss, Donald Trump, sending them an email is an invasion of their privacy. I am not making this up. We are not making this up. This is happening. And these people are so entitled, and I love it. My grandfather had a phrase, Dale, don't let the door hit you in the ass when you're leaving. If you don't like being a part of the new federal government workforce, go get yourself a job in the private sector, and then you're really going to learn how the real world works.
So I've talked to a lot of government employees over the last couple of days, and it's kind of amusing, especially yesterday. I got a lot of text and put on a lot of text threads. They're freaking out. Cindy tells me the remote work thing has really rattled them. They don't want to go back to work, which I understand. I'm someone who generally works from home. But I work that as part of my deal to do other things. And I appreciate it. I hated it at first, but I love it now. So I understand. I'm related to it. But if Cumulus calls Dale Jackson up and says,
get back to the office guess what they'll does he doesn't go cry to the media he jumps to the car it drives back to the office that's what he does right that that's how the real world works why are they so i don't know what i mean it no yet the real world works and by the way that donald trump and his administration he's given them such a parachute
I can make an argument that this is way too much parachute. He's giving them until the end of September. They're saying, if you don't want to work here, respond to this email, say the word resign, you no longer work here, and you get eight months of pay. You have a choice. In the real world, we have a choice. If our bosses, and look, let's be real frank, I think everyone listening that has a job can understand and identify. My bosses have made decisions that I vehemently disagreed with.
This company, our company cumulus, has made decisions that I vehemently disagreed with, and I had to weigh my options. My options were voice my displeasure and do what they wanted me to do, voice my displeasure, and maybe somehow convince them that I'm right and they're wrong, which isn't likely, or third option, quit.
And guess what I didn't do? I didn't quit because I'm going to family to feed and I love what I do. Exactly correct. Exactly. Last thing here, Matt, before I let you go, I don't know if you saw this the other day, they are opening back up the door at the White House press briefing to, I think they said bloggers, vloggers, influencers,
all sorts of other things. They did not specifically say radio talk show host. They did not say that. Last time I got a chance to ask a question at the press briefing. I don't know if they're going to do it remotely or not, but I have a challenge for you. Let's see which one of us can work our way into a press briefing first. Who do you think gets into their first? OK, I think obviously I can, at least if I cut my hair. But yeah, so I'll thank you up on that. Let's figure out how we can finagle our way into a press briefing and embarrass ourselves
in a similar fashion to the way that you did so many years ago by the way before you let me go i did not embarrass myself that is a lot of your media was very upset with me and they never didn't they never asked another talk shows that
you did run it you did run it for everybody else how's your ass dale is everything okay everything good all up for you know good yeah we're poly free they told me they told me that i don't need to have another one for ten years because everything was so good i did such a good job of cleaning it out in preparation we're good
listen let this be a lesson because i got i i did mine several years ago i did mine a little early because i had some family history and everything was fine with me too which is proof positive they'll jack in a member of your proof positive if you talk out of your ass for a living and it keeps you clean on the other side
There we go. Matt Murphy. Thank you very much. WTM Nashville. We always appreciate him coming out of the program and talking with us. We'll let him go coming up here in just a moment. We got 10 with him. Tori will join us and we'll be talking with her. You guys got questions. A lot of you have questions about my colonoscopy. Yeah, they'll come up. We'll get to those next right here on the fastest hour of radio anywhere on your radio dial. Get those questions in right now. 205-545-9950. We'll be right back.
It is the fastest hour anywhere on your radio dial. I am Dale Jackson. I'm a couple of pounds lighter today. As you all know, had a colonoscopy yesterday. And, you know, since I'm not full of crap coming up on talking about five Andrew McLean will be here. He'll make up for all the crap that I've lost. So good luck on that. Tonya and five Andrew McLean. He's coming up next news radio 1440 and on WVNN. You guys got something else going on. So there we go.
Let's get into it. We got a lot happening here. We got a lot to get into. So let's get into 10 with him. It's time to answer the deep workers. It's 10 with him on news and news. He is I, I am him.
10 questions, 10 minutes, politics, personal, pop culture, pro wrestling, parasocial relationships and more. I think we'll just focus on personal today. Tori is here with us to ask those questions. Tori, take it away. All right, well, my personal question, how did it go and was Monday night terrible? Monday night was terrible. There's no question about that. I was freezing. I was pooping. I was having a headache. I couldn't eat anything. It was rough. It went fine. Once they put me to sleep, everything was golden from that moment on.
Okay, did you say anything crazy during, I think probably after, like on your way out of the anesthesia, did you say anything crazy? They did not say that I said anything crazy, but the two of the people helping did mention that they were regular listeners to the program. So, so who knows what I might have said, but they didn't tell me I said anything crazy, but I'm always worried about that kind of stuff.
Did you fart out the gas they used to blow you up during the procedure in your mom's car? I didn't know your mom drove you to your car. I don't know why you find that so funny, but I will tell you this. It tickles me. The funny thing about this is they wrote that question that way and I was convinced the Tory would not deliver it that way, but she absolutely did. So okay, I'll answer it. No, I did not. However, there is a moment where what you're describing happens.
And I did that in the privacy of my own bathroom at home. And I'll tell you what, I don't like the passing of gas. I don't find it funny or any of that stuff. So this is not something that I would do and talk about. So next question. Would you take the buyout from your employer right now?
Not to buy out their offering. Pay me till September and then I have no job and I have until next Thursday to figure that out. I mean, if I was just so happy to have like a job on the hook right there that I was going to go for, yeah, maybe that's the case. But as of as of right now, I just don't I that's not something that I would I would do. No, I would not I would not get behind that at all.
would is Cindy going to take the buyout you know we talked about this and I don't know how serious it is because there's a little there's a provision there about defense employees and national security and stuff like that so I don't even think she's actually really eligible for it to be honest with you but I don't think she's going to take that deal I look they're trying to they put a deal out that's kind of bad hoping people who are not high performers would see like the money and be like oh money and take it that's what I think
they're going for. So no, Sydney is a high performer. I do not expect you to. By the way, Sydney has a message for you. More sourdough bread. She's a fan. I couldn't eat it for three days, but it was good. I had to guess her. Oh, good. I'll make her some more in the next couple of days. I'm happy to hear that. What is your ultimate most relaxation in your off time?
I like to run on the treadmill and play video games at the same time. That is my rationalization for playing some video games, so I probably should be doing other stuff. It's because I'm also working out at the same time. That's my relaxation. That or just laying down and taking a nap. I fall asleep instantly, no matter where I am, if I just lay down, so that's ultimately relaxing for me. If I'm not doing something, I'm asleep.
I feel like that's your serial killer trait, Dale, that you run on the treadmill and play video games at the same time. We figured it out. When will embedded Democrats be prosecuted for their crimes against the people of this country? Look, there's a lot of malicious compliance going on right now. I don't think any of it is illegal.
I think you're talking about maybe the deep state here being a problem and all the other stuff they're doing I think they will go after some of them I don't think they'll get many of them that the state protects itself and I think that's what's happening By the way if tomorrow Quatori it came out that I had killed like seven people and buried him under my house How many people would be like yes all that coming?
Yeah, I mean like it in hindsight, it all makes sense. I know I would. Yeah, I think I'd be shocked. I'd be stunned. I feel like you do have a good head on your shoulders.
Okay. All right. Well, I'm not a serial killer, but I like every time somebody kills something, I think everyone kind of goes, Oh, I remember when he said this thing or did this thing. That all makes sense to me now. That's right. Yeah, Tori. Thank you very much. We appreciate her being the questioner. We appreciate it from Marie Fogle standing by for us yesterday. Thank you so much. We'll see you tomorrow. Andrew McLean. Thank you very much for saying about filling today. If we had some issues, we didn't need you. See ya.
