S2E15: Rallying Alabama (ft. Caroleene Dobson)
Caroleene Dobson storms into our latest Patriot Games discussion, offering a raw and insightful look at Alabama's political turmoil. As we grapple with redistricting chaos and eye the prize of a majority-black district, Caroleene lays out her plan to rally conservative support in the face of electoral bedlam. Her passion is palpable; she's not here just to claim victory but to ensure the values of our Southern stronghold are echoed in Congress, safeguarding a prosperous future for her children and all of Alabama's 2nd Congressional District.
As the conversation unfurls, we cast a spotlight on the bedrock principles that define rural Alabama: unwavering hard work, nurturing humility, and an unshakeable faith in God. These aren't just quaint notions but the lifeblood of the community Caroleene aims to represent. We dissect the challenges these heartland regions face, from feeling neglected by the political elite to the dire need for fiscal restraint and economic revival. It’s a candid look at the unique tapestry of culture that binds these towns together, and the leadership required to honor and elevate their standing on the national stage.
We round out our dialogue with the weighty issues of border security and the leviathan of government spending, topics that resonate from the local diners to the hallowed halls of Washington. Drawing from my own experiences in Mississippi and Texas, we trade tales of triumph over government bloat and explore the intricacies of foreign policy that ripple back to our own backyards. It's a potent mix of grounded, Alabama insights and the larger puzzle pieces of American safety and prosperity, all shared here on Patriot Games with the indomitable Caroleene Dobson.

S2E14: Diamonds and Determination (ft. Sam Phillips) #teamEli
PLEASE GIVE TO ELI: https://www.givesendgo.com/GBMVH
When my grandson Sam Phillips joins the conversation, we don't just talk baseball; we explore the very essence of youth sportsmanship, perseverance, and communal strength. As host Gregg Phillips, I take immense pride in sharing stories from the Vipers' baseball diamond, where teamwork creates champions and our young athletes, like Sam, find the courage to rise above adversity. His tales of drawing positivity from Bible verses and the broader life lessons learned through each pitch, catch, and swing breathe new life into the age-old adage that sports are more than just games.
We delve into the mental gymnastics of competitive sports, where the will to win is as vital as the skills honed in practice. Sam's strategy for maintaining focus – taking a breath or zeroing in on the next play – echoes the tactics I used in my own athletic endeavors, underscoring the universality of these lessons. Beyond the field, this episode encompasses a candid look at a fourth grader's world; from the complexities of schoolyard politics to the hopeful musings of a young mind yearning for a future in Major League Baseball, or perhaps amidst the prehistoric wonders of geology.
In a poignant reflection, we broach topics that shape our very identities: politics, faith, and the importance of community support, especially when rallying for causes close to our hearts, like Eli Barnes' battle against cancer. And as we navigate these heavier musings, we also celebrate the lighter moments – the joys of "Papa's School," the competitive spirit in PE class, and the simple yet profound pride of watching your family grow and thrive. Join us on this touching journey that captures the heart of childhood, the impact of sports, and the lessons that last a lifetime.
