    The SAVE Act: Fixing a Problem That Doesn't Exist, or Creating a New One?

    The SAVE Act: Fixing a Problem That Doesn't Exist, or Creating a New One? Welcome back to Alabama Unfiltered, the short form podcast from the Raised Red, Living Blue network focused on media accountability and fact based political analysis. In Episode 5, Jason Will breaks down the claims surrounding the SAVE Act, a bill promoted as an “election integrity” measure and endorsed by Senator Tommy Tuberville. But what does the data actually show, and who would really be affected? This episode examines: — The legal reality that non citizens already face felony charges for voting in federal elections — Verified audit data showing virtually zero non citizen ballots cast — The proposed requirement for documentary proof of citizenship and how it impacts legal voters — Why millions of married women could face new barriers due to name changes — The “passport gap” and the cost burden on rural and working class Alabamians — The states rights contradiction of federal control over local voter rolls We also break down the key statistics: ✔️ 69 million American women with birth certificates that don’t match their current legal names ✔️ About 9 percent of eligible voters lacking ready access to citizenship documents ✔️ Only about half of Americans owning a passport The central question of this episode: Is the SAVE Act addressing real election fraud, or creating new hurdles for legal voters? If you care about election integrity, voter access, and the facts behind the headlines, this episode is for you. 🎧 Listen +.

    The Residency Question: Alabama First or Florida Resident?

    The Residency Question: Alabama First or Florida Resident? Welcome back to Alabama Unfiltered, a short-form podcast under the Raised Red, Living Blue network focused on accountability, context, and cutting through political spin in Alabama media. In Episode 4, host Jason Will examines conservative media coverage surrounding Tommy Tuberville’s run for governor — specifically the dismissal of residency challenges by the Alabama Republican Party steering committee. This episode breaks down: — Why Tuberville’s long-standing Florida homestead exemption matters — What the Alabama Constitution actually requires for gubernatorial candidates — How residency challenges were dismissed without a formal hearing — Why media framing from Yellowhammer and 1819 News downplays legitimate legal and ethical concerns — The risks of running a candidate who could face post-election legal challenges Jason also evaluates Tuberville’s Senate record, including his lack of legislative wins for Alabama, the military promotions blockade, and the growing concern that celebrity politics and national stunts are replacing serious, state-focused leadership. This episode is not anti-Alabama, anti-Republican, or anti-conservative — it’s pro-facts, pro-voters, and pro-accountability. If an agenda or a candidate can’t survive basic scrutiny, voters deserve to know before Election Day. 🎧 No shouting. No spin. Just context — so Alabamians can decide for themselves.

    A Reality Check on ‘America First’ in Alabama

    A Reality Check on ‘America First’ in Alabama Welcome back to Alabama Unfiltered, a short-form podcast focused on cutting through misleading political narratives in Alabama media. In Episode 3, host Jason Will takes a close look at a Yellowhammer article promoting the success of the America First agenda in Alabama — and asks a simple question: If an agenda is delivering “real results,” shouldn’t it survive a basic fact check? This episode breaks down how the article relies on selective statistics, vague claims, and credit-grabbing without context — reading more like a campaign mailer than journalism. Topics examined include:— Claims that inflation is “down 70 percent”— Gas, grocery, and egg price talking points— Wage growth and quality-of-life realities in Alabama— Energy “dominance” versus rising utility costs— Border and immigration statistics that don’t add up— Deregulation claims based on projections, not results This critique isn’t anti-Alabama, anti-Republican, or anti-Trump. It’s pro-truth. If policies are truly improving people’s lives, we should feel it in real-world outcomes — not just press releases and applause lines. 🎧 Listen +.
