ever since jeff sessions left his
attorney general post
president trump has been trashing his
earliest capitol hill
supporter now the president is backing
sessions opposition
republican tommy tuberville in
tomorrow's
primary runoff tweeting this big senate
race in alabama on tuesday vote for
t tuberville he is a winner who will
never let you down jeff sessions is a
disaster who let us all down we don't
want him back in washington to which
jeff sessions clapped back
i've taken the road less traveled not
sought fame or fortune
my honor and integrity are far more
important than these juvenile insults
your scandal-ridden candidate is too
cowardly to debate
as you know alabama does not take orders
from washington
joining me now less than five hours
until runoff day jeff sessions former
attorney general
and 2020 alabama senate candidate uh
good to see you sir thank you very much
for being here tonight
um thank you martha we have a poll from
may i want to point out that this is a
very old poll but there are several
polls that show you
double digits behind mr tuberville
how are you feeling as you head into
tomorrow given that
things are moving our way there's no
doubt about it
our campaign is catching fire people are
finally beginning to ask
who is our opponent where did he come
from
he just passed through alabama 18 months
ago
he claimed for tax purposes his home in
florida
he is uh wrong on trade wrong on
immigration wrong on china
uh he has uh not been advocating for the
trump agenda
that i have been advocating for his name
is going to be on the ballot tomorrow
not president trump's we'll be voting
for him in november
but the choice is clear my opponent
is hiding out he rejected coming on your
program
he rejected brett bear's program he's
gone radio
silence in the state since scandals have
broken there
let me ask you this you know it's
interesting that you say
that you one of the things that you
would do if you get to go to the senate
would be to defend president trump's
policies even though
every chance that he gets he tries to
undermine you
and this campaign how do you do that the
president's got strong feelings about
this and he gets to express
those opinions but let me tell you i was
for those policies
before he announced i was the number one
voice in the senate for them i believe
in them
not because of any personal gain but
because i think they're right
for america and alabama he needs
stronger voices in the senate the senate
is not speaking up
sufficiently on trade on immigration on
china
those are particularly difficult issues
judges religious freedom those things
i know about i've fought for i
understand them
i'll help him i want him to succeed
that's the fundamental thing because
it's good for america
so interestingly i want to ask you a
question about what happened with roger
stone and the communication which has
obviously
been a controversial decision and it's
interesting that last week
um the person who came after you
attorney general bill barr
said that he he was asked about the
stone sentence and he said that he
thought the sentence for him was fair
given uh given the crime and he also
said that he thought that it was a
righteous
prosecution do you agree well i don't
know the details of that
case i would just say the president
clearly has the power
to pardon president obama did 2000 one
of them was a
terrorist who was teaching people how to
make bombs to blow up the united states
so the president has this power i
respect attorney general barr i like the
fact that
he's digging into all these matters
these allegations of unfairness
and federal abuses and fbi and
prosecutors
i think this matter this russia matter
can never be completed
until the american people have a belief
that the investigators themselves have
been evaluated properly
and wrongdoing punished wherever it
occurred
former attorney general and senate uh
candidate in alabama once again
jeff sessions thank you very much good
to see you sir
thank you
