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.
